Demon King’s Pampered Wife - C182 Holy Land of the Qi Family(part Ii)
Qi Hao revealed a faint smile, then stepped forward and took out a pure white jade slip, “I am the chief of this generation of the Qi family.”
“You are the clan leader? Why didn’t you say so earlier? ” One of the watchers took the jade slip and carefully examined it for a moment, then he nodded to the other.
After the two of them confirmed Qi Hao’s identity, their attitude immediately became very respectful, “The last clan leader came to the Sacred Land a hundred years ago, I wonder why you came here?”
Although the Sacred Grounds were famous in the outside world, they were of little use. They would only be beneficial to heavily injured people.
“This is my wife. She was severely injured in the battle against the demon race, which is why I brought her here to recuperate.”
“So that’s how it is. Patriarch, please bring your wife and retainers to follow me.” One of the guards respectfully said, and immediately turned to lead the way for Qi Hao.
When Qi Hao had told the first lie, Blood Red had already been very surprised. He hadn’t thought that these people from the Holy Land wouldn’t know who the current head of the Qi Family was, and would so easily get away with it.
What surprised Xueran even more was that his master didn’t blush at all and said that the woman in the car was his wife. This gave him a deeper understanding of his master.
Of course, Longevity did not have so many thoughts, whatever his master said. He innocently smiled at the guardian and pushed the purple silk into the Sacred Land.
“Patriarch, I’ll take you to the Sacred Pond first.” The guardian of the mountain looked at the unconscious Zi Ling before lowering his eyes and saying.
“Right.” Qi Hao nodded slightly, not showing even the slightest hint of a guilty conscience.
“The cultivation bases of your two retainers are not bad, and they don’t have the slightest bit of frost on them.” The guardian glanced at Changsheng and Xueran with appreciation. They were indeed the retainers of the clan leader, yet they already possessed such a high level of cultivation at such a young age.
The four retainers by Qi Hao’s side had all been personally taught by him, and they weren’t inferior to the real clan leader Qi Ming’s retainers. In addition, Qi Hao’s own aura was extraordinary, which was why he didn’t suspect their identities.
“Mozzie, they are far worse than you.” Qi Hao gave a faint smile. When he disguised himself, he was very deadly.
Sure enough, the guardian was flattered. “They are still young, their future achievements will definitely surpass ours.”
Qi Hao gave a faint smile, pointed at the misty area in front of him and said, “Is that it?”
“Yes, that’s it.”
“Alright, go busy yourself. We’ll go over ourselves.”
The guardian nodded, “Okay, patriarch, if you have any other matters, can you get your retainer to come and find us at the entrance?”
“Alright.”
Very quickly, the guardian retreated. He was only able to relax after holding in a breath of blood. This was too much of a shock. According to his knowledge, there were countless experts hidden within this sacred land. They were hidden away in seclusion, wholeheartedly cultivating. One could imagine just how terrifying the power was. If they were seen through, the result could be imagined.
Even if the guardian left now, Blood Dye wouldn’t dare to say a single word.
Soon they were outside the sacred pool, with only two snow-capped cliffs on either side of the road.
“All of you, stand guard here. No one is allowed to take a step without my permission.” After Qi Hao finished giving orders, he immediately stood up from the wheelchair and picked up Zi Ling from the cart.
At this time, Zi Ling’s body was so soft that she seemed to have no bones. After being carried by Qi Hao, she leaned her head against Qi Hao’s chest little by little.
“Yes, Master.”
Qi Hao and Zi Ling quickly disappeared in front of Long Life and Blood Red.
“Changsheng, do you want to know what Master will do to her?” Blood Dye blinked his eyes and smiled evilly.
Changsheng rubbed his head and shook his head. “I won’t go in.” Although Changsheng was simple, he was not stupid. He directly pointed out the thought of dying from blood.
Xueran uninterested shrugged. “I didn’t let you in. The answer is very simple. Of course it’s to heal …” As he finished speaking, it was unknown if it was because he felt that his joke was cold or because the weather was cold, but his body unconsciously shivered.
Smoke lingered in the Sacred Pond, and a sweet fragrance permeated the air, making one feel as if they were in paradise. In front of Qi Hao and Zi Ling was a pool, which was bubbling with a milky white liquid.
Qi Hao didn’t hesitate for long, directly leaping into the sacred pool with the purple silk ribbon in his arms. The temperature of the Sacred Pond was extremely low, and even Qi Hao couldn’t help but furrow his brows. However, the purple silk on his chest gave a very comfortable “En” sound, and the blush on his face began to fade.
This milky white liquid was called the “Heavenly Dragon Marrow” in the cultivation world, and was a treasure as precious as the Phoenix Blood Saliva. If a cultivator were to obtain even a few drops of this liquid, they would be able to raise their cultivation tremendously in a short period of time.
However, right now, she was on the treasure mountain, so she didn’t know about it at all.
Surrounded by the Divine Dragon Marrow, the spirit energy in his body began to frantically revolve, offsetting the intense pain of the Phoenix Blood Saliva transforming his body.
Qi Hao sensed that the violent aura in Zi Ling’s body had finally calmed down, and his brows gradually relaxed. He looked at his face, which was gradually calming down, then he jumped back into the wheelchair.
Time passed day by day. In the pool that was boiling with milky white bubbles, Zi Ling’s eyes were still tightly shut. Her face was slightly red, and her wet hair was draped over her shoulders.
On the shore, Qi Hao’s eyes were slightly closed, as if he was thinking of something.
Bloodstained was bored to death as he leaned against the mountain wall. He bent his leg to look at the direction of the valley. “Changsheng, do you think it’s good or bad that Master has a weakness?”
Hearing this, Changsheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, turned his head and scratched his head, “Master, what weakness do you have?”
Bloodstained rolled his eyes at Su Ming, then lifted his head to look at the sky. He sighed and no longer said anything else.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Let alone the purple silk, even Qi Hao’s silhouette didn’t appear.
Bloodstained, who had been lying down on the rocks, suddenly sat up and looked in the direction of the valley entrance. “Changsheng, you stay here. I’ll go out and take a look.”
With that, he disappeared from the narrow passage in a flash.
Of the four retainers, Blood Red’s strength was above average. There were almost no footprints left on the snow-white ground.
“Since young lady is here, why did you have to leave in such a hurry?” With a smile, Xueran appeared and blocked the path of a white-clothed woman.
The woman in white seemed to be surprised by the appearance of the blood stain. She frowned and said with a cold expression, “Move aside.”
However, Bloodstained “chuckled” and said, “The lady peeped for a while and still hasn’t given the next explanation. Tell me, what reason do you think I have to let you go?”
Although Xue Ran had a smile on his face, his eyes were as cold as knives. This was the territory of the Qi family. They risked their lives to enter, and he wouldn’t allow even the slightest bit of danger to endanger his master’s safety.
“Don’t think that you can act so arrogantly just because you’re the Patriarch’s retainer. Our tribe has been here for hundreds of years. When has the clan leader ever cared about us?”
Hearing the woman’s words, Xue Ran felt a little surprised before he smiled and said, “Oh? “In other words, this lady wants to attract my master’s attention …” At this point, there was a hint of an evil charm to it. “With lady’s aptitude, if you want to be my master’s woman, I’m afraid …”
Before he could finish his sentence, a long sword was already pressed against his face, “If you continue talking nonsense, don’t blame me for taking your life!”
“If that’s not the case, why did you appear outside the valley so many times?” Xueran’s long and narrow eyes narrowed as a hint of coldness appeared within them.
The woman in white’s expression wavered slightly. “You …” You already know about it? ”
If not, a sword might not be able to stop her.” With a flick of her finger, a crack appeared in the sword that was emitting a cold light.
The woman in white was also knocked back several steps. She managed to stabilize her footing and exclaimed, “You …”
“Why did Miss appear so many times? Did you think of a reasonable explanation for me?” Xue Ran asked again.
“I …” The white-clothed woman’s brows slightly moved, as if she was thinking about how to start a conversation.
At this moment, an elderly voice suddenly interrupted their conversation, “Xue Yi, what are you doing?”
The girl called Xue Yi’s expression changed as she immediately turned around to look at the old man behind her. “Grandfather …”
The grey-clothed old man glanced at Xue Yi. His gaze landed on Xue Hongyi and he smiled slightly. “Please forgive me, Young Master. Xue Yi is young and rude. She has no ill intentions.”
The retainers by the clan leader’s side held a higher status than the ordinary disciples, so it was not wrong for the gray-robed elder to call them Young Master.
Xueran also did not expect the appearance of the grey-robed old man and was unavoidably causing trouble. He only nodded his head slightly.
“Since that’s the case, I won’t disturb the young master,” the old man in grey said as he glanced at the woman, “Xue Yi, come with me.”
Before long, the grey-robed old man and the white-clothed woman both disappeared before Bloodstained’s eyes.
Xueran looked forward without moving, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
In the pool formed by the God Dragon Marrow, the purple silk sat motionlessly. A layer of frost had formed on her eyelashes. With a light tremble, snow began to fall and melt in the holy pond.
Gugu … Gugu …
Even though the temperature was very low, the water still bubbled like boiling water. It’s even more intense than it was a few days ago …
Noticing the change, Qi Hao opened his eyes, and what entered his eyes was still that beautiful face on the surface of the water. Dense ice-cold air had added countless frost flowers to her black hair.
Gugu … Gugu …
The bubble that was originally the size of a pearl gradually became the size of a fist. The face of the purple silk within it turned from white to red.
Ah …
Zi Ling opened her eyes, and her crimson eyes stared lifelessly at the scene before her, revealing an extremely pained expression.
At this moment, his clothes completely disintegrated, turning into dust that melted in the cold pond. His exposed shoulder was emitting an abnormal red glow.
A white light flashed by, and Qi Hao’s silhouette submerged into the cold pool, reaching out and resting his hand on Zi Ling’s shoulder.
Even Zi Ling couldn’t help but grunt in pain. Her cherry red lips were bitten through, and bright red blood droplets fell into the pool like bloody pearls.
As soon as he came in contact with the purple silk, that wild and violent power also spread to Qi Hao’s body. His face instantly turned red, and he immediately concentrated his mind, concentrating on resisting that tyrannical power.
