Chapter 35: One wave has not yet settled when another wave arises

 "That's not her." Lu Li didn't even look at "He Qing". He just said this indifferently and walked towards the cliff on the left without stopping.

Yue Qingru didn't believe Lu Li's words at first, but after running closer, she found something wrong.

This master doesn't have the aura of a master.

Only then did she realize that they had not yet walked out of the illusion. She couldn't help but look at He Qing's illusion with disappointment and grievance and pout.

"Lu Li, what are you doing?!"

Hearing Chen Yue's shout, Yue Qingru turned her head and saw that Lu Li had already walked to the edge of the cliff. Facing the abyss, he took a step forward without looking away, without a moment's hesitation or thought.

Seeing this, Yue Qingru was so scared that he shouted, "Hey!"

However, Lu Li did not fall off the cliff as they had expected, but was suspended in the air, as if there were invisible steps supporting him under his feet.

Lu Li turned around and glanced at Yue Qingru and Chen Yue with a look as if he was looking at a fool, then continued to move forward, placing every step firmly in the right place.

Chen Yue stared at it with wide eyes, and couldn't help but admire it: "Wow! He is so amazing? He can tell where the road is at a glance?"

Yue Qingru was also surprised. After Chen Yue's reminder, she belatedly thought of Lu Li's attitude in front of the twelve stone gates. She couldn't help but wonder if Lu Li had always known the correct route?

So, he knew that she would go against him, so he deliberately chose those wrong routes?

Suddenly, Yue Qingru felt like she was being led by the nose, and she gnashed her teeth in discomfort, but then she thought again, it was reasonable -

That's right, if you don't have any skills at all, how can you be worthy of being the master's apprentice?

Thinking of this, Yue Qingru calmed down, and excitedly called Chen Yue to follow the direction Lu Li had walked.

The circular light technique in the Tianshu Gate Hall has been divided into several windows, just like a backstage surveillance video, and several sect leaders are paying attention to their disciples.

Guan Yue, who was watching with He Qing, said, "It seems that your disciple was hiding his talents before, but he actually has a very good eye."

He Qing smiled perfunctorily and nodded, but she felt helpless in her heart, because she could see at a glance that Lu Li was obviously impatient and wanted to finish work quickly.

Unfortunately, after leaving the illusion, after all the disciples who have passed the level have gathered together, there will be another test in the Monster Mountain, the purpose of which is to encourage them to use magic weapons.

Even though the monsters captured by high-level disciples have average killing power, it is not easy to deal with them for these disciples who have just started.

He Qing prayed silently: I know you don't want to work overtime, please be patient and don't cause any trouble for me.

Just as he was thinking about it, He Qing seemed to sense something in his heart, as if a heartstring was suddenly tightened.

This was something that had never happened since she entered the book. She was so frightened that she subconsciously covered her chest and her breathing became stagnant.

Almost at the same time, two paper cranes flew into the hall one after another and stopped directly in front of He Qing and Guan Yue.

This is the communication tool used by disciples of the five major sects.

Guanyue's face darkened, and he immediately took out the paper crane and opened it. Xu Gaizhi's voice came out immediately -

"Master, we found a suspected source of miasma in the southwest mountains of Wulingyuan. It seems that something powerful passed through. According to Chang Nian, this is one of the key points of the formation that sealed the demon god back then."

After hearing this report, all the masters and sect leaders in the hall no longer paid attention to the circular light technique and gathered around to confirm the situation.

He Qing was also quite surprised by the news Xu Gaizhi sent back. He couldn't help but frowned slightly and covered his lips to think about it carefully.

This time when Gu Changnian and Hua Chiyu went down the mountain for training, they would indeed encounter the erosion of miasma and attacks of various demons, but because they were very cautious, they did not go deep into the source of the miasma. In the end, Gu Changnian's mind was only polluted by the miasma, which gave rise to some evil thoughts and brought out his inner demons. Then he turned into a jealous spirit and became madly jealous of Hua Chiyu.

However, the book doesn't mention the magic god's array center...

Seeing He Qing lost in thought, the others couldn't help but remind him, "He Qing, quickly check out the news Chang Nian brought back."

He Qing came back to his senses and responded, then quickly took down the paper crane and opened it——

"Master, I and the disciples from Tianxuan Mountain came to Wulingyuan to investigate the miasma. We found that the location of the suspected source of the miasma is very close to the location of one of the cores of the array to suppress the demon god mentioned in the ancient books that Master read a few days ago. Do I need to investigate further? I hope Master can let me know."

After listening to Gu Changnian's "voice message", He Qing suddenly felt overwhelmed.

Ever since she learned of Lu Li's true identity and was struck by a forbidden spell, she has been reading various ancient books borrowed from various sect leaders. The contents of those books are numerous and complex, and He Qing doesn't remember all of them.

She never thought that the book she was reading would coincidentally record things related to the sealing of the demon god, and she never thought that Gu Changnian would see it and write it down.

So what is the situation now? Did she trigger the subsequent plot in advance? Or did she disrupt the plot and cause a butterfly effect, opening up a new plot?

Xuan Qingzi, who was standing by, said solemnly, "So, a demon beast of the demon god was indeed suppressed in Wulingyuan. However, the demon beast was born with the power of the demon god, so how could it break the seal on its own?"

Thinking that Hua Chiyu was in danger, Guan Yue immediately put away the paper crane and said decisively to the several leaders: "Things related to the demon god should not be underestimated. I will go to Wulingyuan in person now."

Xuan Qingzi nodded, and called Ling Fengzi, who was also a master of Tianshu Sect, and ordered: "Ling Feng, you go with Guan Yue to confirm whether the seal of Wulingyuan is intact."

Ling Feng bowed and said, "Yes, Master."

Finally, everyone looked at He Qing again, as if waiting for her to say that they should set out together. After all, in the past, as long as it was related to Gu Changnian's safety, He Qing would rush forward faster than anyone else.

He Qing also saw what they were thinking, and he cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "Oh, since both of you are going, then I won't go. I will wait for good news."

As soon as she finished speaking, He Qing's heart tightened again and the feeling of discomfort came again, but she suppressed it by frowning and pretending nothing had happened as she watched Guanyue and Lingfeng leave.

But before the two men left the hall, another paper crane flew back and landed in front of Guanyue.

First the situation was clarified, and then a letter came. Something must have happened. Guanyue hurriedly took down the paper crane and opened it to listen. From the inside came Hua Chiyu's urgent voice.

"Master! Chang Nian went deep into the source alone and found that the seal from that year had been broken. The thing suppressed here seemed to be heading towards Lingshan, and Chang Nian was also seriously injured!"

At the same time, a warning came from the circular light technique. Everyone turned around and saw a huge demon beast with horns and that looked like an evil spirit. It had slaughtered all the demon beasts in the Demon Beast Mountain and was approaching the new disciples who were taking the test.
