The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror

Chapter 244: The Vitality of Jiangning's People (2nd Update)



After a brief silence, Xu Qing spoke, "Mr. Fu, our agreement is still valid."

Fu Xuan, having personally experienced the Changbai battle, knew well that in such a situation, Xu Qing didn't die, so he reckoned that no one in this world could kill this kid.

He then dismissed the thought of conflict.

This was also the experience he gained from life and death struggles on the grassland; for enemies who couldn't be killed, there was no need to waste energy.

"I came to find this young lady to have her fulfill the promise for you. Now that you're here, that's even better," Fu Xuan smiled and nodded, as though meeting an old friend in a foreign place.

At this moment, even if the officials of the Great Yu Dynasty gathered here, they probably couldn't associate Fu Xuan with one of the top enemies of the dynasty.

Xu Qing: "You came here not just for the promise, right?"

Fu Xuan playfully said, "Then what do you think I'm here to do?"

Xu Qing: "Guessing is boring, why don't we make a bet?"

Fu Xuan let out an "Oh," then asked, "What kind of bet?"

Xu Qing: "I'll use her body to spar with you, provided that you don't exceed her Qi-Blood. Whoever wins can make the other agree to a reasonable request."

"Reasonable?"

"Yes, if you think it's unreasonable, you can refuse."

"Are you so sure I'll lose?"

"Do you dare, sir?"

Fu Xuan chuckled heartily, "What's there to be afraid of?"

About a quarter of an hour passed.

As expected, Xu Qing lost.

This was still because Fu Xuan was cautious and only acted after a quarter-hour had passed.

Otherwise, he would have long defeated the "Xu Qing" before him.

Fu Xuan felt no joy in his victory.

If accurately described, he had just spent a good while fighting wits and courage with thin air.

The problem was the matter Xu Qing had voluntarily brought up.

He simply couldn't figure him out.

"You may propose a new request," Xu Qing stated confidently, as if he wasn't the one who lost.

Fu Xuan was at a loss.

Because for a Martial Saint like him, a reasonable request essentially held no significance.

After all, it was the prize of victory; to give up on it seemed a pity.

Fu Xuan blurted out, "What were you really up to just now, kid?"

"Oh, just needed some time to collect your Qi. Nothing more," Xu Qing "slightly smiled" and continued, "So, consider your request completed."

Fu Xuan's face darkened.

Had he been played by this kid?

Fortunately, it wasn't in public; otherwise, it would have been truly embarrassing.

This kid was truly tricky.

He said slowly, "What do you need my Qi for?"

"That's another new request."

Fu Xuan angrily said, "Even if you don't say, I can guess. It's nothing more than those small tricks of spells and talismans from your Central Plains, which are utterly useless to me."

Xu Qing chuckled and said, "Yingtian Prefecture is rich in history. Hope you enjoy your stay. As for the person you're looking for, I'll have Miss Su hand her over to you in three days."

"Alright, where shall we meet?"

"You decide, sir."

Fu Xuan pondered slightly, "Then at the Embrace Heaven and Moon Tower."

This was the most famous tavern in Yingtian Prefecture.

As soon as Fu Xuan finished speaking, he vanished without a trace.

With his strength, there were few places in the world he couldn't go. This small courtyard was naturally not among them.

Su Lianqing fell into a deep sleep and saw the young master in her dreams.

To be precise, she had also been in a nightmare just now. Her body no longer obeyed her commands but followed the young master's consciousness.

To her, it wasn't an embarrassing matter.

She had long been accustomed to obeying the young master's instructions, both physically and mentally.

"Young master, you really are still in this world."

"If I'm not in this world, where else could I be?"

"Young master is from the heavens."

"Alright, stop with the flattery. Soon, a place in South Zhili will become a battlefield comparable to Changbai Mountain in the past. Before this grand battle, prepare all these deployments as I say..."

Su Lianqing greatly enjoyed this tense and exciting work atmosphere.

She even wondered if one day peace reigned over the world, what significance would her life hold?

She dared not even think about it carefully.

After Xu Qing instructed Su Lianqing, he had her recount it once more.

In reality, in the dream state, Su Lianqing's memory was exceptionally good.

It seemed that even her stagnating Divine Soul cultivation had significantly increased.

In fact, Xu Qing was also exploring the Heavenly Demon's abilities.

He gathered Fu Xuan's Qi with a bold idea in mind.

The outcomes, he must verify for himself to be clear.

Of course, with this Qi, if Xu Qing wasn't afraid of trouble, he even had the chance to infiltrate Fu Xuan's dreams. But the problem was, if he went in, he had no guarantee of withdrawing his consciousness completely intact.

A Martial Saint was not like a Martial Arts Grandmaster!

"Do I count as dead now?" Xu Qing observed that within the bronze mirror, there was no longer an option for lifespan, and even his name had been directly replaced by Outer Heaven Demon.

He could be Xu Qing or anyone else.

The name seemed to have become a mere code.

As time went on, and he had gathered enough Qi, he could certainly infiltrate many people's dreams. Moreover, in the dream, he could completely ignore spatial distance.

To destroy his consciousness would undoubtedly become an increasingly difficult task.

From this perspective, unless the old demon had causal divine skills to kill everyone who remembered Xu Qing to death, Xu Qing was theoretically immortal.

"The power of the Heavenly Demon lies not in strength, but in this trait," Xu Qing deeply realized how terrifying this ability truly was.

For someone born with great techniques, there must be someone with greater techniques to counter it.

So far, Xu Qing couldn't think of anything that could restrain him.
