Mortal Mage

(Chapter 263 has been extensively revised)

-

In the attic room.

After Yu Qianshou left, Song Qu opened his eyes, stood up, kicked Ye Buwen's head away, and sneered in a low voice: "Immortal?"

His eyes fell on the golden storage ring in Ye Buwen's hand. He bent down to pick it up. After looking at it in his hand, he didn't see anything special about it. He then glanced at Bu Dazhen's lower body.

Bu Dazhen was wearing a similar ring on his hand.

Song Qu bent down and took off the ring from Bu Dazhen's finger, and sneered again: "I know that the young master is not an ordinary person by looking at the beauty of the woman next to him. You two immortals are just blind and deserve to die."

He kicked Bu Dazhen and Ye Buwen's storage rings to his lapels, shook off the shit and urine in his crotch, straightened his back, walked out of the room and went down to the attic.

-

At the critical moment just now, Hao Fen used his seventh-level cultivation to replace Zhang Mingxuan, and killed Bu Dazhen with the help of Yu Qianshou, and then took the two of them and escaped from the attic.

At the same time, the aura of the seventh-level fox demon Hao Fen has been leaked.

Thinking back to Bu Dazhen's flying sword just now, Zhang Mingxuan still felt a lingering fear.

Even if he had another magic weapon, it would only be another means of escape.

The gap of a great realm cannot be made up by the advantages in skills or magic weapons.

When he was scared, Hao Fen took Zhang Mingxuan and Li Jing to a place fifty miles away from Changjiang City, then he withdrew his demonic power and hid his aura, allowing Zhang Mingxuan to escape using a moving talisman.

The reason why he didn't step on the sword was because stepping on the sword would reveal his aura.

After walking another fifty miles, Li Jing suddenly stopped:

"I won't go with you, please take care of yourself."

Hearing this, Zhang Mingxuan looked back and saw Li Jing's determined expression.

After making love, he had already regarded Li Jing as his woman.

"Is this the end of it?"

Zhang Mingxuan's tone was nostalgic.

"if not?"

Li Jing slightly frowned, a blush appeared on her pretty face, and after thinking for a moment, her voice became bitter:

"You and I were just having sex in the middle of the night, each of us got what we wanted. Don't feel betrayed, and don't dwell on it. If I can give birth to a son for the Song Dynasty, it will be Song Qu's son, and it has nothing to do with you. If you leak this, not only will my immortal path be ruined, but it will also cost you your life."

After she said this, she closed her eyes and turned around resolutely.

Zhang Mingxuan heard it clearly.

Li Jing could let him down, but he could not let Li Jing down in his heart.

If Li Jing hadn't given him the throne of Taicang, he wouldn't be where he is today.

What's more, Li Jing gave him his virginity.

He thought about his current precarious situation, and although he wanted to say something grand, he couldn't utter a single word.

Looking at Li Jing's soft back, he finally smiled bitterly: "I was overthinking."

"I wish you can find the immortal foundation-building pill soon."

Li Jing spoke to Zhang Mingxuan with his back, then jumped up, stepped on his sword and headed back towards Changjiang City.

Li Jing is already the Crown Princess of the Song Dynasty. As long as she enters the palace, she will be protected by the laws of heaven. If other cultivators seek to kill Li Jing, it would be a disaster for the mortal court, and nine heavenly thunders would be created when they are overcoming the calamity.

After watching Li Jing leave, Zhang Mingxuan pulled off the two Pegasus pendants from his waist and muttered some magic spells.

The Pegasus pendant immediately transformed into two buzzard horses.

He and Hao Fen each mounted their horses and galloped towards Cangyan Mountain.

The aura of Haofen has been leaked, and the major immortal sects will never sit idly by.

The longer he stayed in Changjiang City, the more dangerous it would be.

Although it is not known whether Yu Qianshou will search Bu Dazhen's soul after killing him, and how he will deal with Ye Buwen.

But he was sure that since Yu Qianshou couldn't find Que'er, he would definitely come after him.

Thinking of this, he filled the Lingxi Gourd with spiritual power and hung it around his waist, while at the same time instructing Huofen to restrain his breath with all his strength.

As the eagle horse galloped, the starlight of the jade slip that transmitted sound shone beside him.

After checking, they found out it was Ye Die. The two girls fled to Changjiang at night, wanting to find him.

However, at this time he was already hundreds of miles away from Changjiang City, and it was impossible for him to turn back to pick up the two girls, so he returned the jade slip and asked the two girls to go to Cangyan Mountain on their own.

Zhang Mingxuan and Haofen galloped all the way, crossing the gurgling stream and passing through the lush forest.

After walking for dozens of days.

The mountains and rivers ahead are towering and undulating, like a giant dragon lying down, majestic and spectacular.

The figures of the two gradually disappeared into the mountains.

"Master, the spiritual energy here is chaotic, it should be Cangyan Mountain."

Hao Fen reined in his horse and looked around at the towering mountains.

The estimation was correct. The place we are in now is the border of Cangyan Mountains.

Zhang Mingxuan’s spiritual sense.

The spiritual consciousness was immediately obliterated by the chaotic aura around it.

He relaxed his tense nerves and nodded to confirm: "It should be Cangyan Mountain."

The Cangyan Mountains are just a tiny piece of land compared to the entire Daochu Realm.

But for the many independent cultivators hiding here, it is a blessed land.

Trying to find someone in this chaotic place is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Although we have entered Cangyan Mountain, the surrounding forests look no more than a hundred years old, and there are still some wilderness paths, so it doesn't seem like a sparsely populated place.

Zhang Mingxuan guessed that they should be at the outskirts of Cangyan Mountain at this time. To prevent any accidents, he and Hao Fen rode on the hawk horses and galloped on the wild roads in the mountains for many days.

As the path was covered by wilderness, the surrounding mountains became increasingly towering.

Looking up, the ancient tree next to me may have been growing for thousands of years, with branches and leaves reaching up to the sky. Only scattered patches of light and shadows can be vaguely seen under the branches and leaves.

The two of them found themselves at the foot of an unnamed peak without knowing when.

Hao Fen pricked up his ears, sniffed, and scanned the surroundings sharply: "Master, this way."

She instantly transformed into a delicate white fox and jumped lightly from the horse's back.

Zhang Mingxuan collected the two buzzard horses as pendants, pinned them to his waist, leaped through the ancient trees and jungle in front of him, and chased after Hao Fen.

After walking for a while, we heard the sound of flowing water.

Looking up, you can see a long and narrow waterfall falling from the peak which is about 20 to 30 feet high.

Like a silver ribbon.

Zhang Mingxuan followed Haofen and climbed up the mountain along the rocks, passed the peak, and reached the top of the waterfall.

The top of the peak is an open depression with lush wild grass and flowers, and dancing butterflies, creating a naturally tranquil scene.

In the center of the valley is a sunken pool of water.

The rocks around the pool have been washed smooth like a mirror by the water.

The moss is mottled and full of traces of time.

Looking down, the water splashes everywhere, creating ripples and making crisp and pleasant sounds under your feet.

"Master, this peak is intricately hidden by three high peaks, making it an excellent natural hiding place."

Huo Xian changed back into human form, rolled up her white skirt, knelt down beside the pond, and played with the spring water with her delicate hands.

Zhang Mingxuan looked around, found a relatively dry bluestone, sat down on it, and his thoughts flew away.

I don’t know how long I sat there.

The sky was gloomy and a light drizzle was falling.

Water drops slide down the stone walls in the mountains and flow into the pool.

As the drizzle grew heavier, the water level in the pond gradually rose.

At the outlet, the flow of the waterfall gradually increases.

Huo Xian lifted up her skirt, revealing her snow-white feet, and carefully brought her toes closer to the pool of water.

The water is rippling and the pond is cool.

"Cluck cluck"

She laughed like a silver bell: "Master, there are still fish in this pond."

Zhang Mingxuan gazed at the crystal clear water soaking Haofen's white skirt, and his thoughts turned to his romantic relationships with those women.

His heart was in turmoil, but what followed was a deep sense of guilt and self-blame.

My thoughts are like fallen leaves blown by the wind, unable to calm down.

He looked up at the blue sky and felt the fresh air in the rain.

After a long time, he took out a green jade slip from his ring and said to it in a soft voice: "I am in Tianfu Star, northeast, Yang, Kan 17th hexagram, east by south."

The jade tablet depicts the starlight dissipating.
