Spirit Sound’s New Master (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios

The puppet’s entire body trembled and more cracks appeared, spilling out a large amount of black blood. It directly fainted and the flute hanging on its neck dissipated.

As for Li Zimei, the aura on her body rose intensely at this moment and fused with this forbidden region. Her soul that was riddled with holes also began to recover.

There were also a large number of tree branches that spread over from all directions and surrounded Li Zimei. They continued to gather and finally formed a towering tree.

Half of Li Zimei’s body fused into the tree, revealing her face. It was no longer distorted and appeared calm.

And on her chest, a damaged flute appeared.

That was the symbol of the master of the Spirit Sound Forbidden Region.

Xu Qing stared at her. He knew that although Li Zimei was still in a deep sleep now, in the future, when she woke up, she would become the new… Master of Spirit Sound.

“Li Zimei, I hope you’ll be better. You’ll always be better. You’ll always be fine.” Xu Qing spoke softly and gave Li Zimei’s last blessing back then.

This voice landed in Li Zimei’s ears. Although she was in a deep sleep, her body trembled slightly and she couldn’t open her eyes. However, tears fell from the corner of her eyes.

It brushed past her face and dripped onto the ground.

Perhaps when she woke up, the place where her tears fell would bloom into an unforgettable flower.

Xu Qing left.

He took the sleeping puppet away. This was a gift he had prepared for the Ancient Spirit Emperor.

As for Qing Qiu, with a lift of Xu Qing’s hand, her unconscious body floated up. She rose into the air with Xu Qing and flew toward the Holy Heaven Pagoda floating at the top of the sky.

The moment he was about to enter the pagoda, Xu Qing stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the distant world.

A while later, dozens of figures rushed over from the horizon.

Among them was the Great Elder of the Yinghuang Province’s Sword Holding Ministry, as well as the people sent from Fenghai County. There were also some experts from the Litu Sect and the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect.

From afar, when they saw the Holy Heaven Pagoda, they all had shocked expressions. When their gazes landed on Xu Qing, the Yinghuang Province’s Sword Holding Ministry immediately bowed.

“Greetings, my lord!”

The person who came to help from Fenghai County wasn’t someone Xu Qing was familiar with. It was a nonhuman cultivator recruited by Fenghai County during their development over the years.

Although they had never seen Xu Qing’s true body before, they knew about the portrait. Now that they saw Xu Qing, their hearts instantly stirred. They immediately lowered their heads and greeted him.

The Grand Affairs Immortal Sect and the Litu Sect also greeted him.

However, the former was clearly a little nervous while the latter was mostly worried. Among them was someone Xu Qing had seen in his early years.

That was Qing Qiu’s elder brother.

He followed behind everyone, and was one of the younger generations.

When he saw Xu Qing, his mood fluctuated. He knew from Qing Qiu that Xu Qing was the Brother Kid.

Although he had long known of Xu Qing’s current status and had heard of his legendary experiences over the years, he still couldn’t suppress the churning in his heart.

The image of that dirty kid from back then involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Time flowed by unpredictably.

Back then, he had ignored Xu Qing and left. Today, he was bowing to Xu Qing with everyone else.

A long time later, Xu Qing walked into the pagoda.

Qing Qiu was taken away by the Litu Sect. According to the Litu Sect, they had a secret technique that could speed up Qing Qiu’s recovery.

At the same time, they respectfully told Xu Qing that although their Litu Sect’s doctrine was related to the holy land in the past, the thoughts of the sect had long been unified and changed. In the future, they would firmly stand on Wanggu’s side.

As for Qing Qiu, she would become the holy maiden of the Litu Sect in the Eastern Wanggu to accept the Fate Arbiter’s inheritance.

As for the issue with the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect, Xu Qing handed it to the Yinghuang Province’s Sword Holding Ministry. They would conduct a thorough investigation. If the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect really participated in helping the master of the forbidden region escape, they would have to suffer the punishment they deserved.

After that, under everyone’s respectful farewell, the pagoda shone with rainbow light and left into the horizon.

Everyone left one after another with different thoughts.

The sky slowly returned to night.

The Spirit Sound Forbidden Region was once again filled with anomalous substances. From the core tree inside, the faint sound of a flute could be heard…

Two days later.

In Fenghai County, on the territory of the Wood Spirit Race, above the countless towering trees, the sky was filled with waves and clouds. The Holy Heaven Pagoda had descended here.

The moment it appeared, a terrifying pressure spread out. The Wood Spirit Race’s patriarch, the great elder, and the other experts of the race rose into the air. Amidst their bewilderment, Xu Qing walked out of the pagoda.

Behind him was Old Ninth and Erniu.

The moment they saw Xu Qing, the Wood Spirit Race’s patriarch and great elder heaved a sigh of relief inwardly and immediately greeted him.

After exchanging pleasantries with them, Xu Qing revealed his intentions.

Upon hearing that Xu Qing was going to the abyss where the Ancient Spirit Emperor was located, the Wood Spirit Race immediately opened their territory and cooperated with Xu Qing and the others to arrive at the pitch-black cave under their race’s secret ground.

Standing in the cave and feeling the coldness in the surroundings, Old Ninth expressionlessly took a step forward.

Xu Qing followed behind and directly stepped in.

On the other hand, Erniu’s face was filled with curiosity. This was his first time here. With a sway of his body, he entered the cave.

The three of them charged down.

The aura of death spread up from the bottom. The cold feeling grew increasingly intense, accompanied by waves of inexplicable roars that seemed to come from the netherworld.

There was also a repulsive force that kept appearing.

However, to the three of them, these were insignificant.

As they sped, the pressure emitted by their bodies collapsed the aura of death, suppressed roars, and shattered the repulsive force.

They were getting closer and closer to the bottom of the cave.

“Little Qing, this is a good place.”

As he sped, Erniu’s eyes gradually lit up. He sensed his surroundings and licked his lips as he quickly transmitted his voice.

“It’s not within karma and is outside the Heavenly Dao. It has its own reincarnation cycle and only has life and death…”

“Other than the barrenness, this is the perfect hiding place!”

“Moreover, I smell treasure!”

The light in Erniu’s eyes became even brighter. He was about to continue speaking.

However, at that moment, with the speed of the three of them, they arrived at the bottom of the cave and instantly shuttled through it, entering a world of nothingness.

This world was filled with fog, and it was difficult to see too far with the naked eye.

However, the current Xu Qing was no longer the same as back then. As soon as his consciousness dissipated, it immediately became clear. He led the way and searched for the giant snake.

On the way, Erniu kept clicking his tongue. His interest in this place grew increasingly intense.

As for Old Ninth, he was cold and aloof from the start.

Just like that, after more than ten minutes, Xu Qing, who was shuttling through the fog, suddenly locked onto a location within the range of his divine perception.

“Hmm?”

Xu Qing stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look in that direction.

Just now, in his divine perception, he vaguely sensed an extremely faint trace flashing past.

This trace was ancient and hidden, with a hint of malice.

“Ignore it.”

Old Ninth calmly spoke.

Erniu also looked over and licked his lips thoughtfully.

Xu Qing retracted his gaze and continued forward.

A long time later, he finally found his target.

It was a rotting giant snake that emitted a dense aura of death.

This snake died in the fog and its body rotted. At the same time, it also carried a great world on its head.

This great world was a blur and waves of wails spread out. They were heart-wrenching and fell into Xu Qing’s divine consciousness in the void and fog.

A dark glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes and his body instantly disappeared. When he reappeared, he, Erniu, and Ninth Grandpa were above the great world on the giant snake’s head.

“This is it!”

Xu Qing rushed over and the three of them headed straight for the great world like shooting stars.

As they got closer and closer, the giant snake’s body grew larger and larger.

The world became clearer.

In the end, as rumbling sounds echoed, the three of them broke through the barrier of this world and descended.

A familiar aura, a familiar sky that was shrouded in fog. There was no sun or moon here, only will-o’-the-wisps that were faintly discernible in the fog. The pale and dim light turned the world hazy.

On the ground paved with rotting flesh and blood, there were no mountains or trees. There was only an endless aura of death.

It was the Ancient Spirit World!

Almost at the instant the three of them landed, a huge eye floating in a flesh-and-blood palace some distance away suddenly opened.

“Damn it, why is he here again!!”
