Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 47: The Ye Ling In Their Eyes

When Li Qinglin led the army to besiege Longevity Temple, Qin Yi had just been attacked. The 2 places were theoretically not far away; Longevity Temple was not far away from the palace, but the so-called not far from the capital was actually almost enough for a county to go from east to west. The attack and defense on the 2 sides almost happened at the same time, but they didn’t know about it.

When the fire burning the Immortal Ascension Platform rose into the sky, Qin Yi was on the way to rush from the princess mansion to the crown prince mansion.

Seeing the fire in the distance, Qin Yi paused. His doubts were finally cleared as he understood everything.

“Brother-in-law is really a god teammate!” He relaxed and smiled at Liu Su.

Liu Su gave a flat “en“. A partner like Li Qinglin is really reliable to the point that I feel a little bored: the fun is just all gone.

At this moment, Qin Yi even had an idea… Seeing the fire, Mang Zhan will definitely flee from the capital… Theoretically, the crown prince mansion should not be too dangerous at this time, so why should I still go back? I should try to hold back Mang Zhan and let him die in South Li Kingdom?

The thought just flashed by, but he ultimately couldn’t restrain his worries about Li Qingjun, so he ran back to the mansion.

Ye Ling’s injury is still not healed. Once a Morphing Stage beastkin appears, they may still be in danger.

The mahogany sword array is a dead object and cannot be moved. If the 2 girls stay in the safe zone of the array, of course nothing will happen. The problem is that the enemy’s target may not be them. Once they wreak havoc elsewhere, such as to catch Li Qinglin’s family members or something, then Li Qingjun will absolutely not stay idle in the array.

Otherwise, she won’t be Li Qingjun.

…

The Morphing Stage beastkin that went to the crown prince mansion was not 1 but 2. When Ming He launched the Seven Stars Array, they happened to be out of range, so they narrowly escaped the disaster and became Dong Huazi’s last main force.

An eagle beastkin and a wolf beastkin had already transformed into the look of a male human. However, one had a very conspicuous eagle nose that looks like a real hook; the other still had fangs and a lot of gray hair on its face.

Hmm… It’s actually a bit embarrassing for them to disguise to into human, because it was hard to find such ugly humans…

Obviously, both were in the early stages of Morphing Stage, but it was already not easy. If it was 2 Foundation Establisment early stage cultivators who were well-versed in various high-end spells, they could turn the entire South Li Kingdom upside down, let alone a mere prince’s mansion.

Fortunately, these 2 were similar to Ye Ling who had never learned anything decent. If they were to fight the army of thousands, and among the army had an Innate Stage warrior like Li Qinglin, then the 2 beastkins really couldn’t a big role. However, if they were sent to the crown prince mansion to hold Li Qinglin’s family members hostage, they were truly unstoppable.

If Li Qinglin could be forced to withdraw his troops, it was still unknown who would win the battle.

Dong Huazi’s decision was not wrong.

2 beastkins came from the sky, but before they reached the inner courtyard, hundreds of bows and crossbows shot all together from somewhere.

Eagle Beastkin let out a sinister grin. It waved its right hand, and a gust of wind rose suddenly, scattering the hundreds of arrows.

“If it were thousands of arrows, it would be troublesome. But just a few hundred drizzles, wouldn’t it just be a tickle for your Grandpa Eagle?”

Eagle beastkin spread its arms, and a huge phantom with fluttering wings appeared, then it swooped down.

The wolf beastkin reached the courtyard door in an instant.

They were all beastkin creatures famous for their speed… but they never expected that someone could be faster than them.

A black light flashed. 2 black feathers shot directly at the throats of the 2 beastkins like lightning. The speed was so fast that they made a shrill whistling sound as if the air was being torn apart.

The 2 beastkins stopped and narrowly escaped. When they looked over, Ye Ling’s small figure was chasing them at high speed. A little further away was Li Qingjun who was desperately rushing over with a silver spear.

Qin Yi’s guess was right. Li Qingjun grabbed the silver spear and rushed out almost as soon as she saw the beastkin flying toward the inner courtyard. Ye Ling had no choice but to catch up. Her speed was known to be fast, so she rushed ahead of Li Qingjun.

“Princess Zhao Yang…” The wolf beastkin saw Li Qingjun behind Ye Ling, and it said with laughter, “Isn’t it better to catch this than to catch Li Qinglin’s wife?”

The eagle beastkin agreed, “A man like Li Qinglin can remarry after his wife dies, so what’s the point of capturing his wife? Princess Zhao Yang can at least threaten that Qin Yi…”

The 2 beastkins had the same opinion. They didn’t enter the inner courtyard and set their gazes on Ye Ling at the same time.

It is easy to catch Li Qingjun, but this little girl is the problem.

“The little snake that escaped from the beastkin refining array…” The expressions of the two beastkins were quite solemn.

They had experienced the beastkin refining array before.

Dong Huazi left a back door in the beastkin transformation miasma. All the beastkins spawned by the beastkin transformation miasma would feel the soul summon when the beastkin pellet was condensed at the peak of the Spirit Initiation Stage. The beastkin would enter the beastkin refining array itself, be refined in living hell, and get its beastkin pellet extracted. The pain was hard to describe in words.

It was all because they couldn’t bear the pain that they swore the beastkin blood oath to beg for mercy from Dong Huazi and begged for mercy, swore the beastkin blood oath, and surrendered to him. After that, I got another chance to break through the transformation.

More beastkins who were at the peak of the Spirit Initiation Stage like them were refined to death before they could beg for mercy.

There was only one exception.

A small snake with wings actually advanced the Morphing Stage in the extreme pain of the beastkin refining array, broke through the formation, and turned into black lightning that escaped out of the Longevity Temple before everyone could react.

On the day the crown prince was assassinated, everyone in Longevity Temple knew who the murderer would be after hearing the guards of the crown prince say “a black light flashed”.

It was a terrifying big beastkin that advanced on its own with extreme pain. It was tougher and more tolerant than its peers.

The memory recall just happened in a second, and Ye Ling had already arrived in front of them. She put her hands on her waist and scold, “2 ugly monsters, lue lue lue~”

“??” The two beastkins looked blank.

Scary… big beastkin?

Is there something wrong?

While talking, Li Qingjun also arrived, and she continued to taunt, “They are all transformed into human looks, but why is Ye Ling so beautiful and you are so ugly? I think you should go back to that beastkin refining array for a while. You are really embarrassing.”

2 beastkins were infuriated.

Ye Ling seemed to be talking to her, “Anyway, they have already embarrassed enough. Princess, you don’t know. When they knelt down and kowtowed to Dong Huazi to make a blood oath, they couldn’t wait to call Grandpa. Tsk tsk…”

The wolf beastkin couldn’t help but say fiercely, “Could it be that you didn’t make a blood oath to Li Qinglin? Otherwise, how could he trust you?”

“It’s already canceled.” Ye Ling grinned, “His Highness wants to transfer me to Qin Yi, so he canceled it. Then, Qin Yi didn’t ask me to swear at all. I’m a free beastkin. Are you envious?”

To be honest, they were really envious. Who was willing to bear a blood oath? Not to mention they had to do everything the master said, if the master died, they had to die together. Who could accept it!

Right now there was a way out. Dong Huazi was in deep trouble now. If they captured Li Qingjun back, then there was a great chance to ask Dong Huazi to break the blood oath.

Both pairs of beastkin eyes were fixed on Li Qingjun with a fierce look.

Li Qingjun’s expression was calm. She shook her wrist and pointed the silver spear at them lightly.

She knew that her speed couldn’t match this kind of beastkin, so it was impossible to lure them back to the array. Qin Yi’s painstakingly constructed sword array completely lost its meaning.

But she had no regrets.

If she could selfishly hide in the array and watch her brother’s family be in danger, then she was not Li Qingjun.

Ye Ling sighed like an adult and gave up the idea of ??buying time with nonsense.

The Longevity Temple over there was burning to the sky. No matter how stupid these 2 beastkin monsters were, they wouldn’t be delayed by some nonsense.

The fight was inevitable.

Ye Ling’s eyes suddenly became a little ferocious. She turned her hand, and a black flame rose.

Flying Serpent, the God of Fire, its home was in Si (one of the 12 Earthly Branches), was a master of fear and terror, an ominous general.
