Chapter 323: Chapter 302: Two People Throughout Ancient and Modern Times! (4000 Words)_2

Qi Yuan saw the severed head once again.

His expression turned extremely ugly.

He had only glanced at it in haste before and hadn’t noticed too much, but now, taking a closer look, he immediately detected a strand of demonic energy that was deeply hidden yet incredibly pure!

In an instant,

overwhelming panic engulfed him.

He tried to calm himself down, but the continuous surge of terror in his heart kept disturbing his thoughts, making it impossible for him to think clearly.

After all, that was a Heavenly Immortal!

Even a Heavenly Immortal had been infiltrated so silently!

All the situations he had just been contemplating were very likely to occur!

Seeing him like this, Qin Zheng put away the head of the Celestial of the Xie Family.

Then, after thinking for a moment, he spoke, "Since Immortal Wanshou has discovered the Celestial of the Xie Family, it implies that the top powerhouses of the human race have noticed something amiss."

"You needn’t be too nervous."

"What you need to do now is to head to the Heavenly Pond quickly and cleanse the Demonic Nature from your soul."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan nodded, his thoughts gradually becoming clearer as he solemnly said, "We need to return to the Human King Palace as soon as possible!"

This message must be relayed to the top powerhouses of the human race without delay.

Qin Zheng nodded.

Qi Yuan immediately focused, controlling the Flying Boat to increase its speed.

...

Three days later.

Heavenly Heart Domain.

A misty land shrouded in clouds and mountains.

There lay an imposing set of buildings.

Suddenly,

a streak of light pierced through the mist and rushed into the domain, breaking the original tranquility.

"Who goes there?!"

At that moment, several figures appeared, intercepting the streak of light.

"Stand down."

From within the Flying Boat, a clear voice sounded, and immediately after, three figures stepped out.

Upon seeing Gu Qingyue, several disciples of One Heart Studio immediately adopted a solemn demeanor and respectfully said, "We greet you, Elder Gu!"

As an Earth Immortal, Gu Qingyue naturally held a high position within the limited hierarchy of One Heart Studio.

She bore an air of authority as she slightly nodded in acknowledgment, prompting the disciples of One Heart Studio to quickly depart.

Only then did she turn to Qin Zheng and speak gravely, "Brother Qin, I will forever remember the great favor you have done this time!"

"If you ever need anything in the future, I will spare no effort to assist you!"

After processing her shock over three days, she couldn’t help but become respectful when facing Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng simply shook his head and said, "It’s a trifling matter, not worth mentioning."

Qi Yuan also joined in, "Daoist Gu needs serious recuperation due to the severity of your injuries. We shouldn’t impose any longer."

Regarding the issue of the Heart Demon,

perhaps Gu Qingyue was too immersed in her shock to think too much and didn’t perceive the problem as Qi Yuan did.

And naturally, Qin Zheng and Qi Yuan didn’t volunteer this information to Gu Qingyue.

After all, the fewer people knew about this matter before it was resolved, the better!

If the news spread, it would only cause panic and unrest within the human race, and then give rise to an even greater crisis.

The reason they came to One Heart Studio first

was not only because they promised Immortal Wanshou to escort Gu Qingyue back but also because One Heart Studio was conveniently on the way to the Human King Palace.

It wouldn’t take much of a detour.

Although Qi Yuan was eager to return to the Human King Palace, he decided to visit One Heart Studio first.

And now, after speaking, he was ready to return to the Flying Boat and head straight back to the Human King Palace.

Detecting his urgency, Gu Qingyue thought it was due to his inability to suppress his Demonic Nature and his desire to head to the Heavenly Pond to cleanse it.

Thus, her expression slightly tightened as she said, "I wish Brother Qi a smooth journey and success in purging the Demonic Nature!"

"Thank you!"

Qi Yuan responded hastily.

But just at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out from not far away.

"Please wait, both of you!"

Then, an elderly man with white hair and a Daoist-like presence emerged from the mist and approached the trio.

"Gu Qingyue greets Master Uncle!"

Upon seeing this figure, Gu Qingyue was the first to speak.

The visitor was none other than one of the three Celestials from One Heart Studio, Immortal Qingfeng!

Immortal Qingfeng appeared to be a kind old man. He sighed as he spoke to Gu Qingyue, "You have worked hard this time."

Afterward, he turned to look at Qin Zheng and the other, and said, "Could the two of you stay at my One Heart Studio for a moment? This old man has some matters to discuss with you."

Qin Zheng’s expression remained unchanged.

Qi Yuan, however, seemed to be in a difficult position as he said, "Immortal Qingfeng, I have been affected by the Heart Demon and must hurry back to the Heavenly Pond at the Human King Palace."

Although Immortal Qingfeng was also among the top tier of the human race’s strongest beings, he was not a familiar presence to Qi Yuan, who could not be sure that the other was not invaded by a Heart Demon.

He still planned to return to the Human King Palace first.

However, at this moment, Immortal Qingfeng nodded and responded, "Then you should go back first. Let this young friend stay, as I have some things I wish to discuss with him."

As he spoke these words, Immortal Qingfeng’s gaze was fixed on Qin Zheng.

Hmm?

Qi Yuan was slightly startled.

Qin Zheng then turned his gaze to the old man.

"It’s about the matter of the Heart Demon," Immortal Qingfeng continued.

Qi Yuan’s expression changed slightly.

Qin Zheng also nodded and said, "All right."

Immortal Qingfeng stroked his beard and smiled, then said, "Then please follow me."

Having said that, he led the way.

Qin Zheng did not hesitate and followed closely.

Gu Qingyue, curious, also stepped forward to follow.

Qi Yuan hesitated for a few moments, embarrassed, but still shamelessly followed.

Qin Zheng had not yet fully joined the Human King Palace.

And after the battle in the Lingyuan Domain, the news of his body of a Human Immortal defeating a Heavenly Immortal must have spread throughout the entire human race.

He had to move forward to keep a close watch, to prevent One Heart Studio from taking the fruits of their labor, making Qin Zheng join One Heart Studio and abandon the Human King Palace.

With this thought, Qi Yuan’s expression immediately turned solemn, and he quickly broke through the clouds, chasing after the people ahead.

A moment later.

In a quiet courtyard.

Qin Zheng and Immortal Qingfeng were sitting opposite each other.

As for Gu Qingyue and Qi Yuan, they were stopped outside the courtyard.

Immortal Qingfeng, looking at Qin Zheng, asked directly, "Could I take a look at the remains of Xie Tianyun?"

Without hesitation, Qin Zheng reached out to take out the head and placed it on the table between them.

Feeling the pure demonic energy emanating from it, Immortal Qingfeng seemed to have expected it and did not show much surprise, but merely sighed softly.

Qin Zheng’s eyebrows raised slightly, and he immediately asked, "From the look on the elder’s face, you seem to have expected this?"

Immortal Qingfeng nodded and said, "After a Heart Demon infiltrates a body, no matter how well they disguise themselves, they are demon, not human, and certain signs can always be detected."

"But Xie Tianyun was, after all, a Celestial. We still held out a sliver of hope, and did not expect..."

At this point,

he sighed softly again.

Now, during these troubled times, with the invasion of the Wancheng Demon Nation, the human race is scarce in combat power, and with Heart Demons stirring trouble, I fear we will suffer significant losses in strength!

After a brief pause, he spoke again, "Could you tell me how you determined that he had been taken over by Demonic Nature and was merely pretending to remain hidden?"

Qin Zheng calmly replied, "Intuition."

Upon hearing this, a contemplative look flashed across Immortal Qingfeng’s eyes, and he nodded seriously.

"Legend has it that in ancient times, prodigies of the human race possessed various divine body talents. Young friend, you were able to discern Demonic Nature based on intuition; it must also be related to a talent!"

With that, he smiled gently and continued, "It seems I have been presumptuous."

"Young friend, in your battle in the Lingyuan Domain, you, with the body of a Human Immortal, fought against a Heavenly Immortal, something that in ancient and modern times, only two people have managed to accomplish!"

"Being able to identify Demonic Nature might just be a simple matter for you."

Finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then his expression gradually became more serious.

"With the invasion of the Wancheng Demon Nation, although our human race prevailed in the battle of Pingyang Valley, it was a pyrrhic victory!"

"After that, the remaining Immortals of the Nine Domains of the Human Race will be mobilized once again to the frontier lands."

"Therefore, before that happens, we would like to ask for your help with something!"

Qin Zheng’s eyebrows raised slightly.

Help?

At that moment, Immortal Qingfeng extended his hand, placing a sheet of letter paper in front of Qin Zheng.

"Could you help us ascertain whether these people... have also been invaded by Heart Demons?"

Hearing this, Qin Zheng’s eyes fell on the paper and the names written on it.

Is this... merit coming to my door?
