Chapter 94

The white mist was a woman dressed in a pure white dress. She stood with her back to Song Li, so he couldn't see her face, but he could see that her white dress was as pure as snow, and her long, black hair flowed down to her waist like a waterfall. Her slender and graceful figure was like a peony shrouded in mist, exuding a holy aura. Just looking at her back, she was already breathtakingly beautiful! Most marvelously, she was standing on a green lotus platform. If Song Li hadn't been in another realm, he might have called her "Sister Guanyin"!

Song Li naturally knew that this woman couldn't be the Bodhisattva Guanyin. The lotus platform under her feet was probably a flying magical tool. Her aura and the lotus platform complemented each other perfectly.

The green mist was an old man in a green robe, tall and slender, with white hair like snow. His face was as fair as jade, and his silver beard fluttered in the breeze. He was a dashing and otherworldly old handsome man! Song Li, who had lived two lives, had never seen such a handsome old man! Since the old man was facing Song Li, he could see him clearly. There was a faint aura of ferocity between his brows, and his demeanor was domineering, as if he were the best in the world!

The flying magical tool under the old man's feet was actually a banana leaf. If Song Li's guess was correct, it was just an ordinary banana leaf. Song Li knew that only cultivators at the Yuan Ying stage could break through the void and fly with the wind. Since this old man still needed a tool to fly, it proved he hadn't reached the Yuan Ying stage. However, he could use an ordinary banana leaf as a flying magical tool, which meant he was just one step away from the realm of breaking through the void and flying with the wind!

Good grief, could this domineering old handsome man be a peak Jin Dan cultivator? Song Li crouched lower under the lotus leaf. Before he understood the situation, it was better to hide well. If he was accidentally discovered, he, a peak fifth-layer Qi Induction cultivator, wouldn't even be enough to fill the gap in a peak Jin Dan cultivator's teeth.

The woman in white looked very young from behind. What was this old handsome man chasing after a young girl for? Did he have some bad habits? Song Li couldn't help but have evil thoughts.

"Likangtian, you chased me all the way from Zhongzhou. What do you want? I have been cultivating on Qinglian Peak in the Taiyue Mountains. I don't think I have offended you. Why are you chasing me relentlessly?" The woman in white finally spoke. Song Li thought her voice was cold but very pleasant to the ear, like a heavenly melody.

"Little girl, you can even recognize me, you have some discernment," Likangtian laughed proudly. "Hand over my son, and I won't bother you. Otherwise, I'll throw you into the lake to feed the fish."

"Who is your son? I don't know him," the woman said coolly. "I think you have the wrong person."

"My son disappeared after he came to your Taiyue Mountain. Your Taiyue Sect is responsible. Could it be that you found my son handsome and wanted to keep him for yourself? I think that's probably the case. Hmm, if this boy was captivated by your beauty and didn't want to leave, it's also possible. So why shouldn't I chase you?"

Song Li thought this old man's logic was particularly ridiculous. His son disappeared on Taiyue Mountain, but instead of searching for him, he chased a young girl around the world just because she was beautiful. Song Li finally understood where the phrase "beauty brings disaster" came from. However, when he heard the name Taiyue Sect, Song Li's heart stirred. That unlucky Pan Shaofeng was cultivating in the Taiyue Sect, right? It was said that this sect was a famous and powerful sect in the Holy Lion Empire, producing many experts. It seemed that this woman in white was from the Taiyue Sect. And her cultivation must be very high, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to tangle with this old monster for so long and would have been caught long ago.

If this old man was at the peak Jin Dan stage, then this woman wouldn't be far behind. Although she might not be at the peak Jin Dan stage, she was at least at the Jin Dan stage. She looked very young from behind, so how could she be so powerful?

"Likangtian, I don't know what you're talking about. I have never seen your son, so you should look elsewhere," the woman in white said calmly, showing no anger at Likangtian's unreasonable behavior. Song Li didn't know if she was naturally cold or had excellent self-control.

In fact, the woman was naturally angry. She was peacefully cultivating on her mountain peak when someone suddenly appeared and started causing trouble. This person was a terrifying old monster, and she couldn't fight him. The sect leader wasn't at home, and no one in the sect could match this old monster. If he went berserk, he might cause bloodshed on Taiyue Mountain. So she had to lead him away to protect her fellow disciples. She had fled from Zhongzhou to the capital, and hearing such a ridiculous reason, she couldn't help but be angry. However, she practiced a cultivation method that excelled in controlling emotions, so it didn't show on the surface.

Likangtian laughed. "I remember, I heard that the Taiyue Sect has a cultivation prodigy who has formed a Jin Dan at a young age, called 'Qinglian Fairy' Ning Qianxue. That must be you, right?"

The woman said coolly, "I don't dare to accept such a title."

Likangtian smiled. "It is you. I find you quite pleasant. Why don't you become my son's wife? When I find him, we'll get married."

Song Li sneered. This old bastard's calculations were good. The young girl had already formed a Jin Dan at a young age, and her future achievements might surpass his. He wanted her to be his daughter-in-law just by saying it. There was no such easy thing in the world. The Taiyue Sect had cultivated a rare prodigy, and they wouldn't let her marry into his family for nothing.

Qinglian Fairy Ning Qianxue, what a graceful name. Song Li really wanted to see Ning Qianxue's face, but he could only imagine. The two above him were both peak Jin Dan cultivators, and their divine senses covered the entire Holy Lion Mountain. If they noticed, they would have found him long ago. For now, they hadn't used their divine senses to scan the surroundings. Song Li thought it was probably because they were very confident. The saying "great skills make one bold" was true. Even if something unexpected happened, they were confident they could handle it, so they didn't bother to scan.

Ning Fairy said coolly, "I'm not interested. Goodbye." No matter how absurd and unreasonable Likangtian's words were, she remained calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant, without any emotion.

"Wait, who said you could leave?" Likangtian's brows furrowed, and he shouted, "I'm doing you a favor by offering you to my son. There are countless women who would beg to be my son's wife. Don't be ungrateful."

"What other women think has nothing to do with me. Others are others, and I am me," Ning Qianxue's tone remained cold and indifferent.

Song Li couldn't help but secretly cheer for Ning Qianxue. What a great line, "Others are others, and I am me"! How could ordinary women compare to a holy fairy?

"Ning Qianxue, do you think I won't kill you for not giving me face?" Likangtian, after being rebuffed several times, showed a hint of ferocity. If it weren't for his appreciation of talent, he would have killed this presumptuous girl long ago.

Qinglian Fairy Ning Qianxue had gained a reputation in recent years. She was hailed as the most talented cultivation prodigy in the Taiyue Sect in a hundred years. She started cultivating at the age of three, built her foundation at ten, and formed a Jin Dan at twenty-five. Her speed made most cultivators ashamed. Comparing oneself to Ning Fairy in cultivation speed was like stabbing oneself to death. However, her extraordinary achievements were not only due to her high talent but also to the cultivation method she practiced.

It was said that Ning Qianxue practiced a cultivation method called the "Zuowang Zhenjing." Cultivation itself was a defiance of nature. Everyone has emotions and desires, and cultivation is about restraining human desires and exploring the most profound laws of the universe. The essence of the "Zuowang Zhenjing" was to forget emotions and cut off desires, sitting in meditation to forget emotions and pursuing the Dao.

For cultivators, the cultivation process was about preserving the laws of nature and eliminating human desires. Most people struggled with their inner desires all the time, and some even developed heart demons during cultivation, leading to failure. However, those who practiced the "Zuowang Zhenjing" had no such concerns, saving the energy spent on fighting desires and focusing on exploring the Dao, thus advancing much faster than others.

The "Zuowang Zhenjing" was so powerful, but not everyone could practice it. Male cultivators had to be of pure yang, and female cultivators had to be of pure yin. Those who did not meet the requirements would die if they practiced it. The "Zuowang Zhenjing" was the treasure of the Taiyue Sect, but it had been shelved for lack of suitable practitioners until Ning Qianxue appeared.

She was born with a pure yin body and had exceptional cultivation talent, making her the natural successor to the "Zuowang Zhenjing." The sect leader gave her the "Zuowang Zhenjing," and she did not disappoint, becoming the youngest Jin Dan cultivator in the Taiyue Sect in a hundred years, shocking the entire continent!

She was also exceptionally beautiful, with a pure white dress, like a fairy on the water. Thus, she was known as "Qinglian Fairy." The name "Qinglian" had three meanings: first, she cultivated on Qinglian Peak in the Taiyue Mountains; second, her magical tool was the Qinglian Platform; and third, her aura was as pure and transcendent as a lotus.

Likangtian, with his broad knowledge, had naturally heard of the Taiyue Sect's treasure. His son had disappeared on Taiyue Mountain, so he originally intended to cause trouble for the Taiyue Sect. However, after confirming Ning Qianxue's identity, he changed his mind. If such a cultivation prodigy could be his daughter-in-law, wouldn't that be wonderful? He even forgot about searching for his son for a moment.

However, Ning Qianxue, knowing his identity, still dared to give him a soft rebuff, which made Likangtian very unhappy. According to his perverse nature, he would have killed her on the spot. The fact that he could still hold back showed that he really wanted to arrange a marriage for his son. If it weren't for finding a good wife for his son, Ning Qianxue would have already been killed by him.

As a peak Jin Dan cultivator, killing a second-layer Jin Dan cultivator was as easy as pie for him.
