Chapter 585: Chapter 376: Return, A Temporary Peace
“It seems that Suspended Mountain has no intention of coming out for the ti being.”
On the outskirts of the Lingshan Mountain Range, Lu Qing used an Invisibility Talisman to hide his form and murmured softly.
After retreating to ditate and cultivate for several days, and fully recovering his cultivation,
Lu Qing had returned to the Lingshan Mountain Range, planning to give Suspended Mountain a bit more deterrence.
But after several days of stakeout, he didn’t see any more disciples from Suspended Mountain erge.
He knew then that Suspended Mountain was determined, hiding in the secret realm without coming out again.
To this, he did not feel disappointed.
On the contrary, this was the effect he wanted, because his goal of deterrence had been achieved.
“Young Master, this ti you might beco famous all over, with your power alone, suppressing a Great Secret Land to the extent that they dare not co out of the secret realm.
Such an act, even in the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, has rarely occurred.”
The voice of “Yan” echoed in Lu Qing’s mind.
While Lu Qing was in retreat and cultivating, “Yan” had also recovered so Primordial Qi.
“It’s just an empty reputation, hardly worth ntioning,” said Lu Qing indifferently, “Since Suspended Mountain won’t co out, there’s no need for us to waste any more ti here, let’s go back.”
“Ah Qing, are we going back now?” Little Li asked.
“Mm, we’ve been out for so long, Little Yan must be missing us by now, if we don’t go back, the little girl will start crying,” Lu Qing said with a smile.
“Little Li misses Little Yan too,” Little Li said, feeling a bit hosick.
It had never been separated from Little Yan for so long before.
Lu Qing rubbed its head: “Then let’s leave now.”
With that, Lu Qing gave the Lingshan Mountain Range one deep look, hesitated no longer, and moved silently away with his movent technique.
This ti he did not linger, heading straight out beyond West State.
And to conceal his tracks, he didn’t use the Golden Small Boat but instead relied on the power of talismans to travel on the ground.
After all, with the enhancent of the talismans, his speed was not much slower than the Golden Small Boat.
Half a day later, Lu Qing was already out of West State.
He looked back in the direction of West State.
This visit to West State had been quite fruitful for him.
Not only had he dealt a heavy blow to Suspended Mountain, causing them significant losses and ensuring that for so ti they would be too preoccupied with their own matters to dare to co out of the secret realm lightly,
But he had also obtained several treasures, especially the Flying Artifact, the Golden Small Boat, which was very useful to him.
Now, he would have so ti to focus on cultivation in peace.
After one last glance in West State’s direction, a flash of azure light surrounded Lu Qing as he quickly moved forward again.
Several days later, Lu Qing returned to Cang State.
The reason it took so much ti was that he made a detour on purpose for the sake of caution.
Upon entering Cang State, Lu Qing no longer tread carefully and unleashed his full movent technique, and by noon, he had returned to Jiuli Village.
When Lu Qing entered the Array’s range without concealing his presence, the elder doctor, who was in the Wei Family’s separate courtyard diagnosing Wei Zihao and the others, had a flicker of expression.
“Elder Chen, is there sothing wrong with Hao Er’s health?”
Wei Xinghe hurriedly asked, noticing the change.
Mrs. Wei also showed a worried expression.
“No, Wei Family Master need not worry, the state of the children’s health is improving very well, with further care for another ten days to half a month, they should be able to fully recover,” the elder doctor said, withdrawing his hand from taking the pulse and smiling.
“That’s wonderful!”
Mrs. Wei relaxed greatly and patted her chest in relief.
In the recent days, each ti she saw the two locks of white hair at her eldest son’s temples, she couldn’t help but feel heartache.
Fortunately, under the prescription and care provided by the elder doctor, the white hair had gradually started to darken.
“Many thanks, Elder Chen,” Wei Zihao said as he stood up and bowed to the elder doctor.
Several other disciples of Qingyun Sword Pavilion also bowed and thanked .
“There’s no need for such formalities. Rember, for these recent days, you should prioritize recuperating and avoid engaging in combat,” the elder doctor instructed.
“We will heed the senior’s teaching,” Wei Zihao and the others responded respectfully.
“Good. Later, I will leave a prescription for a dicinal diet for you to follow. If taken as directed, you should recover even faster,” the elder doctor said and then left the Wei Family’s separate residence.
Upon returning to the Half Mountain Small Courtyard, he saw Little Yan cuddling with Lu Qing and acting coyly.
“Brother, Little Li, why were you gone for so long this ti? Little Yan was so bored at ho!”
“Brother is at fault. I won’t leave for so long next ti,” Lu Qing comforted the little one as he held her.
Seeing this, the elder doctor showed a smile and walked into the courtyard.
“Master.”
Lu Qing put down Little Yan and greeted him seriously.
When he had entered, he had deliberately not concealed his aura, knowing that his master would surely sense his return.
“You’re back now, that’s good. Nothing went wrong, did it?” the elder doctor asked.
“Nothing. It was a safe journey.”
The elder doctor nodded but did not ask in detail about what exactly Lu Qing had been doing on his trip.
Because he knew that if Lu Qing could speak of it, he would do so on his own.
Sure enough, Lu Qing soon volunteered, “Master, this disciple went to West State this ti and resolved so matters. I believe we should be able to enjoy a peaceful period in the upcoming days…”
Lu Qing roughly explained the events of his trip to West State.
The incident that had occurred in West State had almost beco widespread knowledge, and although Cang State was sowhat remote and the news slower, it wasn’t long before they would receive word.
His use of the Leaving Fire Tripod to strike at the Suspended Mountain might be a mystery to others, but his master and Wei Shanhai would surely guess who was responsible upon hearing of it.
Therefore, Lu Qing had no intention of hiding anything.
The elder doctor, upon hearing this, was both shocked and relieved.
“Ah Qing, you’ve taken quite the risk this ti. That Suspended Mountain has been able to endure for tens of thousands of years and is certainly out of the ordinary.
Had they set an ambush in advance, even with a Spiritual Artifact to protect your body, it might not have been easy to escape.”
“Disciple acknowledges the risk this ti. However, the ergence of Suspended Mountain is not good news for us.
The Wujian Building assassin who escaped from Wei Mansion is still a hidden danger.
I even suspect that he may have already discovered our location.
Therefore, I could not allow Suspended Mountain to easily take control of West State, for once they are free to act, we may be the ones facing trouble,” the disciple said.
The elder doctor thought of the assassin who had escaped from him and fell silent.
He knew Lu Qing’s concerns were not unfounded.
It was just the risk of his disciple’s trip to West State that had left him feeling apprehensive.
“Be that as it may, you’ve returned safely, and that’s what matters. However, I do hope that you will be less reckless in the future,” the elder doctor said.
“This disciple will rember,” Lu Qing responded earnestly, knowing his master was worried about him.
No one knew of Lu Qing’s return.
Even Wei Shanhai only learned that Lu Qing had returned the next day when he ca to have tea with the elder doctor.
However, he assud that Lu Qing had simply gone into seclusion for Cultivation and didn’t think more of it.
It wasn’t until a few days later that news of the events in West State finally started trickling into Cang State.
Wei Shanhai and Wei Xinghe, upon hearing rumors gathered by their spy—especially about the mysterious figure commanding a giant cauldron obliterating nurous disciples and elders of Suspended Mountain—were shocked, and their faces showed a mix of astonishnt and disbelief.
After the spy had left, Wei Xinghe couldn’t wait to say, “Ancestor, this giant cauldron ntioned in the rumors… could it be—”
Wei Shanhai looked towards the Half Mountain Small Courtyard, “It seems that Young Master Lu’s disappearance during this ti was not for closed-door Cultivation, but rather to achieve an earth-shattering feat!”
