saint of humanity

Chapter 2118 Qingjun
Inside the Qing Palace, the host and guests sat down at the long dining table.

Yin Luo sat at the top seat, and Duan Bo stood quietly behind her like a shadow.

Yin Luo's clear voice rang out: "So, you were brought from the starry sky to the Xingyuan by the ghost sedan, and you can't go back?"

"exactly!"

"That's perfect!" Yin Luo jumped up in joy. "I was a little worried that something might happen to you before I found you. Now that you've come by yourself, why don't you stay here? This way, I don't have to wait until your starry sky is shattered and I have to look for you everywhere."

Lu Ye frowned. Although it was a good thing to be protected by a strong man like Yin Luo in Xingyuan, there were some things that needed to be figured out after all.

He asked, "May I ask how Miss Yin Luo knew about me and Jiuzhou? Why did she come to find me?"

Yin Luo held the doll in his arms, pouted and thought for a while, "I was also entrusted by someone. Before he left, he told me to stay here and find a way to find you and protect you when the Xingyuan Gate opens."

"Entrusted by someone? Who?" Lu Ye was extremely shocked. The one who could make Yin Luo guard here was definitely not a Starry Sky cultivator. But he asked himself that he had never had too close contact with the Star Abyss cultivators, let alone a strong man of Yin Luo's level.

"Qingjun, don't you know him?" Yin Luo looked at him curiously.

Lu Ye shook his head slowly. He didn't know anyone named Qingjun, but then he thought that Qingjun should not be a name, but a title.

Qingjun... Lu Ye's heart was moved. Could it be that...

He quickly asked, "Miss Yin Luo, what does Qing Jun look like?"

Yin Luo did not answer, but looked at Lu Ye suspiciously, then turned his head and said: "Uncle Duan, did we make a mistake? He doesn't know Qing Jun."

Duan Bo's voice came from the darkness: "My friend, what do you think Qing Jun should look like?"

Lu Ye's heart immediately tightened, knowing that his next answer might very likely affect the life and death of his group of people. He thought about it carefully and described it slowly.

Yin Luo nodded: "That's right, don't you know Qingjun? Just now you said you didn't know him..."

Lu Ye smiled bitterly and said nothing. The person he knew was not Qing Jun.

But in this way, some doubts in my mind were answered.

"It's you. Just stay here obediently from now on." Yin Luo looked very happy.

"Thank you very much, Miss Yin Luo."

This strange little girl is a friend rather than an enemy for some reasons, but it is undeniable that her strength is extremely powerful. She can be said to be the strongest person Lu Ye has ever seen.

As long as I can get her protection, my current situation is naturally safe.

"What a pity..." Yin Luo looked at Lu Ye somewhat aggrieved.

"What a pity?" Lu Ye was puzzled.

"You smell the best, but you can't eat me!"

Lu Ye suddenly felt that the grievance on her face became terrifying.

Duan Bo said quietly, "Miss, Qing Jun only asked you to protect this young friend and keep him safe, but he didn't ask you to protect others."

Hearing this, Yin Luo's eyes lit up: "Yes, Qingjun only allowed me to protect him, so anyone except him can be eaten!" As she spoke, her expression became excited, her eyes swept over everyone, and she sucked in a mouthful of saliva with a hissing sound.

Chen Wulei, Zi Ji and the others' faces changed drastically. They had just heard the conversation between Lu Ye and Yin Luo, and thought that they had escaped danger and turned a disaster into a blessing. However, the situation took a sudden turn for the worse in the blink of an eye.

"Miss Yin Luo!" Lu Ye stood up suddenly. "These people are all very important companions of mine. I can come here because of their help. Without them, there would be no Lu Ye. Please don't set your sights on them!"

Yin Luo looked at him with an innocent look on his face: "But Qing Jun only asked me to protect you, and didn't ask me to protect others."

Lu Ye's mind raced: "Miss, why don't you think about it carefully again? Did Qingjun mean to protect Lu Ye and the people around him? Or maybe he didn't say it, but he meant it."

Although the contact time was not long, Lu Ye also discovered that although Yin Luo was quite powerful, his intelligence was not very high. He was a bit like a real child and was ignorant most of the time.

Yin Luo was indeed confused by him, and looked at Duan Bo and said, "Is this what Qingjun meant?"

Duan Bo said calmly: "Qing Jun probably doesn't mean that."

"That's all..." Yin Luo breathed a sigh of relief. It would be too painful to have so many delicious foods hanging around right under her nose but not being able to eat them. She waved her hand and said, "Uncle Duan!"

Duan Bo immediately walked out from the shadows.

With a loud noise, everyone stood up, and in an instant, their magic power surged.

Duan Bo had a calm expression as he walked forward step by step: "You can resist as much as you want, see if you can stop me!"

They had already seen Duan Bo's strength before, so how could they not know how powerful this old man was? Even if they joined forces, they would never be able to defeat this old man.

With a clang, Lu Ye drew his sword from its sheath. However, for the first time in history, he did not point the blade at anyone else. Instead, he placed it directly on his own neck. He stared at Yin Luo and said, "Miss Yin Luo, if you ever try to target my companions again, I will die in front of you!"

As he spoke, Panshan Knife sank down and blood immediately flowed from his neck.

Duan Bo looked at him in astonishment, and then his face darkened: "Boy, you dare to threaten the young lady? If the young lady wants someone to die, then he can't live. But if the young lady wants someone to live, then he can never die! You can try and see who is faster between me and you."

puff...

The long knife penetrated the flesh three inches deep, blood gushed out like a fountain, and Zhong Yue beside him was immediately soaked into a bloody man. However, Lu Ye had a defiant look on his face: "Duan Bo is very powerful, I am ashamed of myself, but even if you can stop me this time, what about the next time, and the next time? How many years can Duan Bo defend against me? Ten years? A hundred years or a thousand years?"

"You kid..." Duan Bo didn't know what to say. In all his years, this was the first time he saw someone threatening others with his own death. It really opened his eyes.

Yin Luo was obviously getting nervous: "No, no, no, can't I just not eat it? Don't die. If you die, I won't be able to explain to Qing Jun!"

The bet was right!
Lu Ye was certain in his heart. From what Yin Luo had said before, he knew that she had great respect for Qing Jun, otherwise she would not have been so kind to him and others. Now it seemed that he had underestimated Qing Jun's position in her heart.

Lu Ye still wanted Yin Luo to swear an oath in the name of Xing Yuan's will, but after changing his mind, he gave up. Some things should not be done too excessively, and this result was acceptable for now.

"Miss, please remember what I said today." Lu Ye retracted the Panshan Knife. The flesh and blood on the bloody wound squirmed and recovered quickly.

"Ah..." Yin Luo lost all his energy and slumped in the chair, looking like he had lost all hope in life. After a long while, he waved his hand and said, "Uncle Duan, take them away and don't hang around in front of me."

"Yes!" Duan Bo responded and asked everyone to move to the side.

There were quite a few rooms in the Qing Palace, more than enough to accommodate eleven people. Under Duan Bo's arrangement, everyone was quickly settled.

After Duan Bo left, everyone gathered in Lu Ye's room again.

The eleven people sat in a circle, the atmosphere was somewhat silent. It had been six years since they were stranded in Xingyuan. Although they had experienced many battles during this period, to be honest, they had never encountered a very strong opponent, until this time...

Whether it was Yin Luo or Duan Bo, their levels of strength were beyond their comprehension. Even the ten strong men under Yin Luo's command were far superior to everyone else in strength.

Such a huge gap in strength made everyone realize that all their previous success was due to luck. If they had encountered someone as strong as those ten, they would have been destroyed long ago.

“It’s embarrassing.”

After a long time, Lu Ye sighed.

Using one's own death to threaten others is simply a joke. Fortunately, Yin Luo is easy to fool, and she attaches great importance to Qing Jun's instructions. This allowed Lu Ye to achieve his goal and protect the lives of others.

If Yin Luo had acted a little tougher during this period, Lu Ye's tricks would not have worked. In the end, they would just have to fight and there would be no need to think about the outcome.

After all, I am still not strong enough!

"It's nothing to be ashamed of." Chen Wulei shook his head. "It's thanks to you that we were able to survive this time. Otherwise..."

He thought about the look Yin Luo gave him and couldn't help but shudder. He never thought that he could actually attract other people's interest in him like this.

"Yes." Zi Ji nodded, "So, we are still indebted to you for saving our lives once."

He was actually a little scared in his heart. When everyone first came to Xingyuan six years ago, he actually wanted to kill Lu Ye, but he finally suppressed himself and chose to have a heart-to-heart talk with Lu Ye.

If not, how could we be here today?
"Brother Lu, who is Qing Jun?" Zhongyue asked from the side.

This is not only his doubt, but also the doubt of others.

This time we were able to escape danger safely, all thanks to Qingjun's instructions to Yin Luo. Judging from the current information we have, Qingjun's strength is probably far beyond Yin Luo's.

But how did Lu Ye know such a powerful person?
Qingjun even asked Yin Luo to guard in front of the Star Abyss Gate, waiting for it to open and find Lu Ye in the starry sky to protect him.

"Qing Jun..." Lu Ye revealed a look of reminiscence, "He is from the Dragon Clan, his real name is Yang Qing!"

At first he didn't know who Qingjun was, but after confirming with Yin Luo, he realized that the so-called Qingjun was Yang Qing.

In fact, for so many years, Lu Ye has always had a doubt in his heart.

Where did Yang Qing go after leaving Jiuzhou?

A strong man like Yang Qing could not be unknown. There was a Rizhao who accidentally discovered Jiuzhou and intended to control Jiuzhou, but he was slapped to death by Yang Qing. At that time, Yang Qing had just escaped and had not recovered much. This shows how strong he is.

Then why has such a powerful person been missing for decades? Lu Ye can't even find any clues about him.

In the early days, Lu Ye had low strength, insufficient experience, and had not been to many places, so it was understandable that he could not find any clues about Yang Qing. But since he took charge of the Wanxiang Sea and was promoted to Rizhao, he was considered a top figure in the starry sky.

There is still no clue about Yang Qing, which is not right.
