The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

Chapter 768: Ning Yao

Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao exchanged a glance, both of their expressions showing a hint of shock.

They hadn’t expected that the forbidden area of the Ancient Sword Sect, which hadn’t been opened for such a long time, would actually contain a sacrificial altar used for teleportation.

Perhaps this explained why Zhang Xiu and the old woman who had brought her here had vanished without a trace.

Obviously, they had come to the Ancient Sword Sect just to use this altar.

As they talked, the two of them ascended the altar, only to find that all the runes on the top of the altar were cracked and broken.

The altar was already in a state of disrepair, and perhaps the last bit of energy it had was expended when Zhang Xiu and the others left the last time.

The aura of the Tribulation Realm instantly blossomed from Qiu Yaoyao’s body.

A vast amount of energy poured into the altar, but unfortunately, it did not budge in the slightest.

No additional spatial power was generated.

“Indeed, it cannot be used anymore,” Qiu Yaoyao said with a tinge of regret in her voice.

The trail of Zhang Xiu seemed to have been completely cut off once again.

“Don’t be disappointed. At least the words she left for you indicate that she is still alive.

And even in good condition, right?

The cultivation world is vast, but as long as she is alive and you have such a talent, there will be a day when you will meet again.”

Seeing that Su Jingzhen’s mood seemed a little off, Qiu Yaoyao added these words.

As she spoke, she walked over and gently patted Su Jingzhen’s shoulder.

However, the sourness in his heart grew more intense.

Su Jingzhen smiled and nodded, “Yes, you’re right. It hasn’t been that long since I last saw sister-in-law Zhang Xiu. As long as she’s still alive, we will meet again eventually.”

As he spoke, Su Jingzhen probed the area once more, but there were indeed no other clues.

He then gave up and left with Qiu Yaoyao.

“Your Excellencies…”

Seeing the two of them appear so quickly, the sect master of the Ancient Sword Sect’s eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation.

He stepped forward, wanting to say something, but hesitating to speak.

Seeing his hesitant and timid appearance, Su Jingzhen took the initiative and said, “There are some treasures inside that might be quite important to your Ancient Sword Sect.

This can be considered payment for the ancient sword technique I took from you earlier, and from now on, your ancient sword sect will be a vassal of the Heavenly Dragon Race.

From this day forward, no other forces will come to trouble you.”

After saying this, Qiu Yaoyao and Su Jingzhen no longer stayed on the island.

In fact, Su Jingzhen still had a slight admiration for the sect master of the Ancient Sword Sect and his companions.

The sect master of the Ancient Sword Sect, who was at the Soul Formation Stage, would not find it difficult to obtain complete cultivation techniques and spiritual incantations for practice. 

Yet, he stubbornly clung to the incomplete Ancient Sword Art. Maybe it was a matter of faith.

When Su Jingzhen said this, the Sect Master of the Ancient Sword Sect was taken aback for a moment, then he was overjoyed. 

He bowed repeatedly in the direction where Qiu Yaoyao and Su Jingzhen had left.

After leaving the Ancient Sword Sect’s island, Qiu Yaoyao did not immediately take Su Jingzhen back to the Heavenly Dragon Race’s territory.

“I know that you are still worried about the current situation in the Luo River Basin. Why don’t you go and see it for yourself?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Yaoyao released her contracted beast, Hei Tong. 

Hei Tong understood Qiu Yaoyao’s intentions and immediately transformed into her massive form, carrying Qiu Yaoyao and Su Jingzhen as they flew swiftly across the Luo River.

Riding such a powerful and huge demonic beast was indeed a spectacle that attracted countless onlookers, but no one dared to challenge them. 

Everyone in the Luo River valley knew that only the Heavenly Dragon Race traveled in such a grand manner.

Along the way, they witnessed many battles breaking out. 

After the Ji Clan and the Yan Clan declared war, the forces under their command were very fast. 

Qiu Yaoyao and Su Jingzhen had no intention of getting involved in any of these battles.

The conflicts in the Luo River Basin had reached such a level that Su Jingzhen had no plans to visit the territories of the Ji Clan or the Yan Clan. 

If he and Qiu Yaoyao were to appear in either territory, it would send a false signal to the various forces in the Luo River Basin.

The war between the two clans was something that Shen Yifeng and others were handling, and he had absolute faith in their abilities.

By sunset, Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao had returned to the Heavenly Dragon Race territory. 

However, just as Su Jingzhen returned to the shores of Heavenly Green Lake and was about to process everything he had seen, Qiu Yaoyao appeared in his courtyard again, her eyes gleaming with a peculiar light.

“Sister Yaoyao, do you need anything else? Or would you like to have a late night dinner with me?”

On the way back, Su Jingzhen had indeed killed two demonic beasts of decent quality and was preparing to have a feast.

However, Qiu Yaoyao shook her head.

“I had just returned to my courtyard when I received another message from Heavenly Dragon City. It’s still about you.”

Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen was once again taken aback, but also felt a bit of anticipation.

“Could it be that you even found out about Shuang Jiang’s news?”

Qiu Yaoyao didn’t intend to keep him in suspense: “Someone has arrived in Heavenly Dragon City and specifically asked to see you. She says she is your student. Will you see her or not?”

A smile lingered at the corner of Qiu Yaoyao’s lips.

Su Jingzhen was stunned for a moment, but then a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

“I have to go!

Sister Yaoyao, I’ll trouble you again. Please take me there.”

Su Jingzhen was extremely excited.

Ning Yao!

It’s Ning Yao!

They had a one-year agreement, and she has come to fulfill it.

The last time, Qiu Yaoyao had said that she had found out about Jiuchi and Ning Yao’s whereabouts. She mentioned that the last time they were seen was in the Divine Kingdom. 

However, the journey to the Divine Kingdom had long since concluded, and he hadn’t seen Ning Yao’s figure at all. 

He had thought that it would be very difficult to see Ning Yao again in the Luo River Basin, but now she had come to seek him out.

But at this moment, Su Jingzhen’s heart began to tremble with doubt and fear. 

Just today, the trail of Zhang Xiu had been cut off again. He had promised Ning Yao when she was taken by Jiuchi that they would find Zhang Xiu together.

…

After emerging from the teleportation array in the Heavenly Dragon Race’s core territory, the sky was still pitch black. 

However, Heavenly Dragon City was still buzzing with activity. 

Especially after the Pavilion Master Taixu had ascended to the Ascending Realm in front of everyone, leaving behind a holy place for everyone to go and meditate, the city had become even more vibrant.

However, Su Jingzhen had no interest in the city’s prosperity at this moment. 

He and Qiu Yaoyao went straight to the lord’s mansion.

The message was personally delivered to Qiu Yaoyao by the Heavenly Dragon Lord. 

Therefore, the person Su Jingzhen wanted to see was naturally here.
