Seeing that she was about to start another long analysis, Brother Cheng quickly waved his hand.
"Alright, alright, put away the divine techniques."
He exhaled lightly.
"I should be on my way too."
Gong Qing watched him slowly float up, a thought stirred in her heart, and she couldn't help but follow him.
"Where are you planning to go next?"
Now, she wanted to always follow this powerful senior.
This senior was powerful and unassuming, treating her as an equal.
Moreover, he wiped out Tu Xing and the Chao Family, avenging the Gong Clan from back then.
Though his intention seed to be just to snatch so items.
But Gong Qing felt she ought to repay him.
Especially since this senior seed sowhat absent-minded, he genuinely needed soone like her to assist him.
Her thoughts abruptly stopped.
"I plan to find that Lord and ask him what's going on. I've been waiting for so many days, is he not showing any respect?" Brother Cheng said.
He didn't want to give up on those spoils.
Since the other party didn't co, he decided to go himself.
Gong Qing felt she should reevaluate Elder Jiang.
This was no longer absent-mindedness; he was completely hopeless.
"Don't act rashly; Jin Chong isn't easy to deal with. He has mid-stage Emperor Realm Fourth Layer power; he's on a completely different level from those three Realm Masters..."
Brother Cheng had a headache, a serious headache.
Why did this girl always try to stop him from showing off?
"Yes, yes, I'm just going to die, don't follow ."
He rummaged through his ring again, extracting so treasures.
There was Silver Moon Ice Essence, pills, and immortal artifacts.
"You've been following for days; I have to make a gesture, right? Take them, let's part on good terms."
Given his previous style, this already elevated Gong Qing to the treatnt of a Feixian Sect disciple.
After speaking, he gestured toward the Ice Eye.
"If you want to be a Realm Master, the mark is still there."
This...
Gong Qing was truly speechless.
This person is crazy enough to challenge the Lord.
Not to ntion how powerful the Lord is, he has experts around him, Emperor Realm Fourth Layer among them.
This is practically a death wish.
However, in the end, she still shook her head.
"You avenged , and I vow to follow you to repay you!"
Brother Cheng panicked, was she planning to stick with him?
"I don't need repaynt; I never expect anything in return for my kindness!"
Gong Qing said earnestly, "You may not need it, but I can't lose my principles. You'll see my value in the future!"
Brother Cheng was speechless.
Girl, I've long seen your value.
Really.
You could follow anyone else and make a huge impact.
Whether it's those top big shots or the Child of the Plane, having you is like adding wings to a tiger.
With your assistance, they could avoid detours, foresee crises early, master the surrounding situation, and have perfect solutions.
They should be inviting you like seeking Zhuge Liang.
But the problem is... my style is different from theirs!
"You really want to be my military advisor? Why so fixated? I'm really likely to die at any mont!"
Seeing his reaction, Gong Qing chuckled.
"If my lord dies, what's the harm in accompanying him?"
She even started calling him lord, what else could Brother Cheng say?
"Alright, alright, follow then."
After they set off, the local cultivators finally erged.
Watching the duo disappear from view, everyone felt utterly incredulous.
Those two weren't even hiding their conversation just now.
"They're really going to find Lord Jin Chong?"
"Crazy?"
"Instead of escaping quickly, they're seeking trouble; do they want to die faster?"
"Oh dear, overestimating their abilities..."
They didn't know that the center of Celestial Rainbow Territory was in a tense atmosphere.
Apart from the nineteen late-stage Third Layer Realm Masters, Celestial Rainbow Territory had four mid-stage Fourth Layer Vice Lords.
If Celestial Rainbow Territory was an empire, the Realm Masters were regional officials, and the Vice Lords and other elders in the center were court officials.
They were the core around the Lord.
And now, all four Vice Lords wore expressions of gloom.
Lord Jin Chong was dead.
This news was like a thunderbolt, echoing in everyone's ears.
"How could Lord Jin Chong die? With his strength, how could he be killed?"
"The urgent issue isn't that, but who did it."
"Yes, that person's identity remains a mystery, and after killing the Lord, there hasn't been any further move."
"The Lord's mark is gone; what are we to do?"
"Other territories will surely covet our Ice Eye origin..."
The four Vice Lords weren't seeking revenge for Jin Chong.
Instead, now Celestial Rainbow Territory's Ice Eye was ownerless.
This situation was very alarming.
Without soone guarding the Ice Eye, not only would its origin remain inactive, it would also attract the attention of adjacent territories.
The Ice Eye was ownerless, and without anyone harnessing its origin, it was as if it lost its guardian.
Nearby Lords, once they catch wind, could use their Ice Eye to borrow the origin aura from this ownerless one.
It's like a house without a locked door, anyone can co for a profit.
This would cause a further decline in Celestial Rainbow Territory's origin aura.
If too many coveters arise, over ti, Celestial Rainbow Territory might beco a barren land with sparse origin.
Faced with this predicant, they could do nothing.
Currently, they've only sealed the news of Jin Chong's death to prevent it from spreading to nearby territories.
But this isn't a long-term solution; it will inevitably be revealed.
"Finding that person is urgently needed!"
"Exactly, we must regain the mark; our Ice Eye is undefended, it's too perilous."
"Also the deaths of Tu Xing, Fei Ao, and Yu Chang."
"Who has ti to worry about those Realm Masters now?"
In their eyes, those Realm Masters were of little consequence.
Late-stage Third Layer compared to their early Fourth Layer, they were completely different tier individuals.
The urgent matter now is that the Lord can't go unfilled for a single day.
"It's truly a turbulent ti..."
On this day, Jiang Cheng and Gong Qing also arrived at the central Immortal City of Feihong Territory.
Compared to the countless ice caverns forming the previous city, this place was evidently much more advanced.
Various colored ice sculpture skyscrapers were magnificent, emitting peculiar glows, giving the impression of stepping into a fairy-tale scene.
Unlike the Immortal Realm, this Immortal City didn't have any gatekeepers.
The two entered the Immortal City effortlessly.
