Chapter 127 Aoki Makoto
Lu Qingyun remained silent.
He raised his hand and pulled Cui Jian towards him.
"You...aren't you afraid of the Cui family? Aren't you afraid of the Cui family coming to retaliate?!"
Cui Jian trembled all over, looking into Lu Qingyun's cold eyes, his heart filled with fear.
This person really wanted to kill him, really wanted to!
"I can give you anything you want!"
"unnecessary."
Lu Qingyun spoke calmly.
"You just said you're from the Cui family. Looking at you, you do seem somewhat familiar. Could you perhaps be from the Cui clan of Qiyang?"
The words were spoken calmly.
Cui Jian, however, was suddenly overjoyed.
Lu Qingyun's words carried not a trace of murderous intent.
Could this person be an old friend of my Cui family?
Cui Jian was about to try and establish a connection.
However, the next moment.
"Never mind, there's no need to ask you. I'll just see for myself."
Lu Qingyun raised an eyebrow.
Immediately afterwards, he gripped Cui Jian's head with both hands and began reading his memories.
After a long while, Lu Qingyun seemed to be deep in thought.
"I never expected that Cui Bao, who had a grudge against me in the past, has now broken through to the half-step Foundation Establishment stage. The Zhao family of Danfeng has been devoured by the Zhang and Cui families. Zhang Tianlie died tragically at the hands of the half-step Foundation Establishment stage Zhao family member. As for Zhao Qingxuan, her whereabouts are unknown."
Looking back on his childhood when he was weak, Lu Qingyun felt deep regret for Zhao Qingxuan and Zhang Tianlie, whom he had met.
He remembered that when he left Lingzhi Peak, Zhao Qingxuan personally came to see him off.
He remembered that when he was very weak, Zhang Tianlie naively extended an olive branch, thinking himself to be a man of integrity and wanting to win him over as a retainer.
"Time has passed so drastically, and as for Elder Chu on Spirit Plant Peak, he has long since passed away."
His old friends have passed away one after another, and he too will soon be approaching the end of his life.
Lu Qingyun felt slightly sentimental.
"If one does not become an immortal, one will eventually turn into a handful of dust."
"Even if there were a thousand lifetimes, a hundred lifetimes, it would be useless."
"You...you will definitely get your comeuppance!"
Cui Jian was completely stunned. He stared blankly, his mouth agape as he gasped for breath, his mind a jumbled mess.
This is a side effect of the Soul Searching Technique. Even if the Cui family rescues him now, he will be unable to make any progress in his life. The severe damage to his brain makes it difficult for him to even think.
Cui Jian never expected that Lu Qingyun would dare to kill him.
"If you embark on the path to immortality, you must be prepared to die at the hands of others. It's truly laughable that you, as a cultivator, would utter such words as retribution."
Lu Qingyun ignored him and, with a wave of his hand, ended his life.
All that remains is a sense of melancholy.
"Right and wrong, success and failure, all turn to nothing; the green hills remain, and the setting sun shines red again and again."
Then, without turning his head, he stepped into the green pillar of light.
Cui Bao of the Cui family has only condensed one divine power. If he were to come to his door to fight, it would be a good way to settle the karmic debt from back then.
In Pingyang, many independent cultivators watched Lu Qingyun's departing figure with mixed feelings.
However, they quickly became bloodthirsty and desperately rushed towards the secret realm.
The reason is that although the green beam of light is expanding, its color is also beginning to darken!
"The victor will be king, the loser will be villain—it's all up to this day! Today, I will surely become a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
Lu Qingyun was unaware of what had happened outside the secret realm.
This was, in fact, his first time entering a secret realm previously held by others.
For decades he had been in seclusion cultivating, and his understanding of this world's secret realm was mostly limited to word-of-mouth.
Lu Qingyun's vision went black.
In a short while, we arrived at an ancient and simple hall.
Before he could even assess the situation around him...
Who would have thought that the dark blue magic power within him would suddenly erupt violently.
They resembled dragons and snakes, and began to relentlessly assault his brain and spiritual roots.
Lu Qingyun's expression hardened, and he immediately mobilized his mind to suppress it.
He looked around, his expression growing increasingly solemn.
"How could this be? Could the mastermind behind the 'Ancient Wood Longevity Technique' be connected to this Green Wood Secret Realm?"
Recalling the annotations made by Master Qingmu after he chose the Ancient Wood Longevity Technique at the Yunxia Sect, Lu Qingyun felt a sense of foreboding.
