Chapter 281 Master of Array Formations
"Joining means..."
Wei Tianxiong's heart raced, and he stared at Li Qingqiu as he asked.
He was already prepared to be a slave, so when he heard Li Qingqiu invite him to join the Qingxiao Sect, he was taken aback, thinking that he had misheard or misunderstood.
Li Qingqiu raised his hand and took the life-controlling talisman into his hand. He replied, "I've taken your life. I won't let you suffer any humiliation in the future, but whether you are worthy of my trust, I still need time to observe."
Shen Yue thought to himself, "Just as I suspected."
If Li Qingqiu wanted to kill Wei Tianxiong, he wouldn't have bothered with so much talk.
Looking back on the previous battle, he realized that Wei Tianxiong, though seemingly intent on killing him, had actually been giving him opportunities all along.
However, he was still unsure of Wei Tianxiong's character and could not make a hasty judgment.
Upon hearing Li Qingqiu's answer, Wei Tianxiong fell silent again, but this time, his expression softened considerably.
Since we're all going to be prisoners anyway, it's always good to have some dignity.
Li Qingqiu infused his vital energy into the Life Control Talisman and quickly understood the purpose of its restrictions.
It has to be said, the Divine Origin Sect is quite something.
This life-controlling talisman is very useful and extremely ingenious, a level of skill that the Qingxiao Sect has not yet reached.
The Life Control Talisman emitted a bright light, followed by a golden beam that shone on Wei Tianxiong.
Wei Tianxiong closed his eyes, preparing to accept being controlled by the soul.
Shen Yue stared at this scene with curiosity, as he was also quite curious about the Dao of the Soul.
As the golden beam shone on him, Wei Tianxiong, who was lying on the ground, began to convulse, clearly enduring unimaginable pain.
His soul was being torn apart, and coupled with his severe injuries, he was living a life worse than death.
He could only keep his willpower by thinking about the deep hatred for the Divine Origin Sect.
for a long time.
When the golden light faded, Wei Tianxiong lay on the ground, even weaker than before, unable to open his eyes.
Li Qingqiu was playing with the Life Control Talisman. He had already used the Life Control Talisman to bind Wei Tianxiong. He only needed to crush the Life Control Talisman to kill Wei Tianxiong. He could even use the Life Control Talisman to torture Wei Tianxiong.
This thing is really insidious, but it's definitely useful.
Li Qingqiu planned to go back and have someone study the Life Control Talisman. If Wei Tianxiong could help, that would be even better.
After thinking it over, Li Qingqiu put the Life Control Talisman into his storage bag, and then used the Rejuvenating Ghost Immortal Needle on Wei Tianxiong to treat him.
At this moment, Bai Ning'er helped the Yan Dao Sect member fly over and landed behind Li Qingqiu.
Li Qingqiu turned to look at Yandao Sect and asked with a frown, "How did you get so badly injured?"
He had already seen Yan Daozong's injuries; he was asking about the reason.
Even Shen Yue didn't suffer such serious injuries.
The Yan Dao Sect has awakened. Faced with Li Qingqiu's question, he smiled bitterly, unsure how to answer.
"He was trying to help me too. You didn't see it before, but his aura was very strong, almost comparable to a Spiritual Consciousness Realm cultivator," Shen Yue said.
"Yes, that's really amazing. Senior Yan is already so powerful even before he started cultivating immortality. If he does start cultivating immortality, he will definitely be the next Senior Shen."
Bai Ning'er said excitedly, her tone full of admiration.
Looking at the Yandao Sect, Li Qingqiu guessed that the [Martial God Reborn] destiny might have erupted at a crucial moment.
The disciples of the Yandao Sect possess the aura of a martial god, which will grow stronger as their strength increases, making them particularly adept at fighting against overwhelming odds.
However, compared to the Yandao Sect's "Martial God Reborn," Li Qingqiu was more curious about Bai Ning'er's "Lucky One."
This incident brought Qingxiao Sect a new expert who had surpassed the Spiritual Consciousness Realm, a tremendous gain for the sect.
Upon closer reflection, perhaps it was because they were "lucky" that they encountered Wei Tianxiong instead of a ruthless demonic cultivator.
Wei Tianxiong doesn't seem like a good person, but it's hard to say what his true nature is.
When Bai Ning'er saw Li Qingqiu looking at him, his smile disappeared. He took a deep breath and said, "Sect Master, I know I was wrong. I will never be reckless again."
This time, he was truly afraid.
He couldn't imagine what would have happened to the three of them if Li Qingqiu hadn't arrived.
Li Qingqiu didn't blame Bai Ning'er, but seeing how serious he was, Li Qingqiu guessed that there might have been some twists and turns.
“You’re still young, I hope you can really learn from this,” Li Qingqiu said earnestly.
Bai Ning'er quickly assured him.
Shen Yue said, "He didn't make any mistakes, he was just a bit too bold. In the end, it's because the two of us are incompetent."
Yan Daozong nodded and said, "It is indeed our fault."
Wei Tianxiong dealt a heavy blow to the Yandao Sect; his eyes dimmed, and his heart was clearly unsettled.
"Let's summarize what you found on this trip when we get back."
Li Qingqiu instructed that since Wei Tianxiong had not yet woken up, he should have Shen Yue and the other two recount their experiences on this trip.
Shen Yue gave Bai Ning'er a look, signaling her to speak, while he and Yan Daozong sat down to meditate and begin regulating their internal energy.
Hearing that there were more than one Taijue Sect palace hidden beneath this land, Li Qingqiu became interested.
Before Shen Yue and his two companions could fully investigate the matter, Wei Tianxiong interrupted their progress.
Li Qingqiu felt that Wei Tianxiong must know more about the Taijue Sect, so he planned to continue the investigation after Wei Tianxiong woke up.
Through Bai Ning'er's account, Li Qingqiu could already sense how powerful the Taijue Sect had been in the past.
Even with the immense power of the Taijue Sect, it was still destroyed.
Whether it was destroyed by the land of demons or there was another reason, Li Qingqiu became interested in this question.
In addition, Li Qingqiu wanted to learn about the Tianming Sea and other cultivation sects through Wei Tianxiong, so as to make plans for the future.
The Qingxiao Sect will inevitably encounter other cultivation sects sooner or later. If they are completely ignorant of other sects, the Qingxiao Sect will surely suffer losses.
Time flies.
A full hour passed before Wei Tianxiong finally woke up. He opened his eyes and saw the figures of Li Qingqiu and the other three. He felt as if he had been reborn.
He had always known the power of the Life Control Talisman, but this was the first time he had ever been affected by it.
Li Qingqiu turned to look at him and said, "You're finally awake. Now answer me one question: We want to explore the Taijue Sect's heritage. Is it safe for just the few of us to do this?"
Wei Tianxiong opened his mouth and replied in a hoarse voice, "Not... stable..."
"Alright, let's go back to Qingxiao Sect first, and we'll talk about this later!"
Li Qingqiu gave the order decisively, and then he whistled.
Hearing him whistle, Shen Yue and Bai Ning'er were stunned and subconsciously looked up.
The sect leader's divine eagle came along too?
A fierce wind howled in, stirring up billowing dust.
Bai Ning'er's eyes widened when he saw a colossal figure appear behind the distant mountain peaks.
"How can it be so big..."
……
No one noticed that Li Qingqiu had left Qingxiao Mountain, and even after he returned, no one realized that he had been gone.
Xiao Ba led them to land near Taikun Mountain. Afterwards, Li Qingqiu took Wei Tianxiong and Shen Yue back to Lingxiao Academy on Qingxiao Mountain, while Bai Ning'er and Yandaozong went back to rest.
Dusk is approaching.
Li Qingqiu, Shen Yue, and Wei Tianxiong sat at the long table, while Wei Tianxiong sat cross-legged on a bench, resting.
The Life Control Talisman had caused him immense damage; on the way back, he was in a daze and on the verge of collapse.
Li Qingqiu was in no hurry. While waiting, he discussed swordsmanship with Shen Yue.
Shen Yue was very interested in the sword strike that Li Qingqiu used to defeat Wei Tianxiong, and Li Qingqiu spoke freely, recounting his experience in detail.
"Oh? Elder Shen, you're back?"
A woman's voice came, and Zhu Yan walked into the courtyard.
Shen Yue turned around and nodded slightly at her as a greeting, but he didn't say anything.
Zhu Yan noticed Wei Tianxiong. Wei Tianxiong was wearing tattered black clothes and had white hair. He looked like a demon or heretic.
She glanced at him, then walked to Li Qingqiu's side, bowed, and whispered, "Sect Leader, there is something I would like to discuss with you."
The magical duel tournament is still ongoing, but preparations for the rewards have already begun, among which magical artifacts are indispensable.
As the disciples grew stronger, low-grade magical artifacts became unsuitable, so Zhu Yan wanted to forge even stronger ones.
Crafting magical artifacts isn't something you can just dream about; you need better resources.
"No rush, sit down first and let us talk about something else."
Li Qingqiu smiled and gestured for Zhu Yan to sit down.
Seeing this, Zhu Yan could only sit down. However, when she heard Li Qingqiu and Shen Yue continue discussing swordsmanship, she knew that what Li Qingqiu was talking about was related to this mysterious man in black.
What could possibly warrant her involvement as the head of the Tiangong Hall?
Zhu Yan was filled with confusion, but she was calm and didn't show her feelings on her face.
A while later.
Wei Tianxiong finally opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and his eyes regained some of their luster.
His gaze met Li Qingqiu's, his expression complex.
From this day forward, his life will be in this man's hands.
"Are you awake?" Li Qingqiu looked at Wei Tianxiong and asked.
Wei Tianxiong nodded and asked, "You want to obtain the inheritance of the Taijue Sect?"
Taijue Sect?
Zhu Yan became interested upon hearing this.
Li Qingqiu replied, "It's not just about inheritance, but everything. The structure and mechanisms of those underground palaces are worth studying. Even the underground palaces themselves can be turned into resources, can't they?"
Wei Tianxiong was stunned, not expecting Li Qingqiu to have considered things so thoroughly...
Profound!
"Alright, before that, you will formally join the Qingxiao Sect. Are you willing?" Li Qingqiu asked again.
The reason for asking this question is that Wei Tianxiong has not yet entered the Daoist panel.
Wei Tianxiong took a deep breath, stood up, bowed to Li Qingqiu, and said, "Disciple Wei Tianxiong greets Sect Master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Tianxiong's portrait appeared at the bottom of the Daoist chart.
Li Qingqiu smiled and said, "Tell me what you know about the ruins of the Taijue Sect."
He immediately brought up Wei Tianxiong's profile picture and checked his profile.
