Chapter 751: I Must Save Her
When Qi Huang happily returned with hundreds of thousands of Ghost Tomatoes, she noticed dense crowds gathered inside and outside her home from afar.
Qi Huang was already used to this. After all, she and Cheng Hong Ling had become celebrities throughout the Xihui Dynasty, and admirers visited daily. She simply ignored them.
However, as Qi Huang looked closer at the faces, she realized something was wrong. These weren’t admirers, but high-level figures and disciples of the HongHua Sect, all looking solemn and talking amongst themselves.
More importantly, Qi Huang saw that a corner of her house had collapsed, precisely where Cheng Hong Ling’s room was.
A sense of foreboding filled Qi Huang. She immediately quickened her pace, arriving in the courtyard moments later and asking the people around her with confusion, “What happened?”
“Is that Huang’er?”
Just then, Cheng Yuan and his wife stumbled out of the main hall, followed by two clones of Cheng Hong Ling.
“You’re finally back. Ling’er has been captured,” Jiang Li Niang said, her eyes red.
“What? Captured? Who captured her?”
Qi Huang’s eyes widened. She found it hard to believe that anyone in the Xihui Dynasty would dare capture her main body, and she could even receive her main body’s distress signal…
…
“I don’t know. That person’s strength was incredibly formidable. When we heard the commotion, we tried to rush over to rescue her, but we were blocked by a very strong Spiritual Sense Shield.”
“Yes, their fight only lasted a few breaths before Elder Sister was captured by that person.”
…
Cheng Hong Ling’s aura and the Spirit Soul Crystal were successively activated.
It seemed her main body had indeed encountered an ultimate master.
Qi Huang’s mood became unusually heavy. With her help, Cheng Hong Ling’s cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Shentong Realm. Coupled with various Magic Treasures and killing moves, she shouldn’t have been defeated so quickly, even against a late-stage Shentong Realm master. Therefore, the opponent was likely a master above the Heavenly Punishment Realm.
There were only a few Heavenly Punishment Realm masters in the Cultivation World. We haven’t offended anyone openly, except for having a feud with the Lü family. Could it be that old Heavenly Punishment Realm fellow from the Lü Family? Or perhaps my identity in Zhongzhou has been recognized?
Qi Huang’s mind was a mess, and she started to feel anxious. If her main body were a man, she wouldn’t worry, but it was a delicate and beautiful woman. What if something happened to her?
“This was left by him.”
At this moment, Cheng Yuan tremblingly handed over a piece of paper.
Qi Huang quickly took it and read it. She saw a line of text written on it.
“If you want to save Cheng Hong Ling, come to the Dragon Vein Mine Pit in the Yiyun Mountain Range of Shiye Country, Northern Continent.”
This was the content of the note, giving a specific address and filled with a sense of provocation.
“You all be careful. I have to go save her.”
Qi Huang mumbled a sentence and was about to leave.
“Wait, Junior Sister! Are you sure everything written here is true? What if it’s a trap?” Yun Fei quickly tried to stop her.
“It’s also possible that the opponent is strong enough that they simply aren’t afraid of Qi Huang,” Cheng Jing said with a grave tone.
“We need to be even more careful. If that person only intended to target Ling’er, why would they be so kind as to leave an address? This means Huang’er is also their target. So let’s not rush. We should discuss a plan first.”
Cheng Yuan also reminded her anxiously. Although the girl before him wasn’t his daughter’s clone, she truly had the blood of the Cheng family flowing through her. He had long regarded her as his own daughter.
“There’s no time to waste. Even if it’s a trap, I have to jump into it.”
Qi Huang shook her head firmly and then soared into the sky.
Everyone in the courtyard rushed out, their eyes red. Jiang Li Niang even burst into tears. Even a fool could see how dangerous this trip was for her daughter, and whether she could bring her main body back safely was uncertain.
Qi Huang flew at high speed towards Shiye Country in the Northern Continent, her expression more solemn than ever. It wasn’t out of fear of her opponent, but because she knew that whether she succeeded or not, this was a path of no return! The reason was simple: her feminization was in its final stages. If she didn’t hurry to find a way to control the assimilation power in the dreamscape, she would completely transform into a woman within five days! Of course, becoming a woman wasn’t the most terrifying part. The most terrifying thing was that she would also become Cheng Ling’s puppet. Once Cheng Ling occupied her body, she would lose the qualification of Life Soul. No matter how strong her Spiritual Sense was, she would undoubtedly die. Thus, this was a destined road of no return!
But so what? For Cheng Hong Ling, she had no hesitation.
Qi Huang headed northeast. As she was about to reach Shiye Country, she decided to inform her three male clones and the Spirit Soul first, as they also had the right to know.
“Everyone, Cheng Hong Ling has been captured. The opponent likely has a strength above the Heavenly Punishment Realm. I must go save her immediately.”
Qi Huang sent a Mind Transmission to the four souls simultaneously.
“What? Captured? How did I not notice?” Huang Tian, who was guarding the HongHua Sect, asked in astonishment.
“I suspect he is mostly covered in Heaven-Concealing Water,” Qi Huang deduced.
“How long will it take you to save her?” Jing Po Huang Jing asked immediately.
“I don’t know. The opponent actively left an address for me to find him. There are only two possibilities: either he has set a trap; or he has enough confidence to deal with me.” Qi Huang stated the facts.
“Doesn’t that mean you’re going to waste a lot of time no matter what? Do you know my current feminization progress? In at most three days, female characteristics will appear below, and you will become a complete woman, and also Cheng Ling’s puppet,” Huang Jing reminded her excitedly.
“It’s fine. If such a thing happens, only I will die. Because once she occupies the position of Life Soul, you all will become her Three Souls and Seven Vital Souls. So don’t worry about your own safety. The only price to pay is to completely become a woman.” Qi Huang comforted them.
“Is there a possibility that for us, becoming a woman completely is more terrifying than death? How will I face my parents then?” Huang Tian from Ping’an County said.
“But for me, if Hong Ling suffers any accident, it’s more terrifying than becoming a woman and dying,” Qi Huang said firmly.
“Since you, the Life Soul, have made up your mind, we, as the Three Souls and Seven Vital Souls, will naturally support you unconditionally. We can’t hold you back. ” Huang Tian took a deep breath and declared. The other three also echoed his sentiment. They naturally felt the same good impression towards Cheng Hong Ling.
“Thank you, brothers, for your understanding,” Qi Huang said gratefully.
“Don’t call us brothers anymore. Call us sisters. I don’t know what male traits I still have,” Huang Jing said somewhat despairingly.
Qi Huang smiled helplessly and continued heading northeast.
Qi Huang soon arrived within Shiye Country. Since it was her first time here, she was unfamiliar with the country and had to stop in a small town to inquire about the Dragon Vein Mine Pit.
Qi Huang entered an inn, ordered a table full of good food, and then took the opportunity to ask the waiter about the situation.
“Judging by your accent, you’re not from our Shiye Country, are you? No wonder you don’t know the Dragon Vein Mine Pit,” the waiter joked before explaining in detail, “Because our Shiye Country is too cold, we can’t grow any crops. Fortunately, there’s light in one place when it’s dark in another. Our country has rich mineral resources. The largest mine is in the Yiyun Mountain Range in Xuelin State to the north. It produces over half of the country’s high-end spirit minerals every year, which is crucial to the national destiny of the entire Shiye Country. Therefore, it’s called the Dragon Vein Mine Pit. The ‘Dragon’ naturally refers to the Royal family.”
The waiter swallowed at this point, clearly a little parched.
Qi Huang, being understanding, handed him her teacup, “Thank you, sir!”
The waiter, flattered, took the teacup and drank it down before continuing, “Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long. After the Great Outbreak, because of its remote location, it was repeatedly occupied by evil spirits. As a result, the court had to abandon it, and it has been deserted for hundreds of years, which is why it’s called the Dragon Vein Mine Pit.”
“Thank you!”
Qi Huang threw down a tael of silver and then galloped towards the northern Xuelin State, not even eating a bite of her food.
