The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

In the deep and unfathomable eyes of the Lord of the Shadow Tower, his figure seemed particularly small, as if he was just an insignificant speck of dust in the vast world of cultivation.

Even though Zhou Yu has entered the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, this level of cultivation is just a small part of the ordinary scenery in front of the host.

Zhou Yu secretly wondered in his heart how extraordinary he was to attract this legendary powerful man to come in person.

Moreover, with extraordinary patience, he analyzed in detail the potential threats of the forbidden technique of cultivating the inner demon.

His words were so earnest, as if he was treating a younger disciple who was about to go astray.

After calming down, Zhou Yu recalled the sudden care and attention he had just received, which made him feel mixed emotions.

He was grateful for the help extended by the owner of the Shadow Tower, but at the same time he couldn't help feeling a little wary and suspicious.

The true intentions of the owner of the Shadow Tower are like a ghost in the fog, appearing and disappearing from time to time, making it difficult to grasp.

Zhou Yu began to think over and over again, was what the poster said sincere or did he have other intentions?

He knew very well that in the world of cultivation, strength was respected and the strong often had calculations and purposes that were unknown to others.

However, facing the owner of the Shadow Tower whose strength far exceeded his own, Zhou Yu chose to be patient and cautious.

He knew very well that direct questioning might bring temporary relief, but it would likely be followed by unbearable consequences.

The saying "If you don't accept a toast, you will have to drink the penalty wine" rang in his ears like a warning bell, reminding him not to act rashly.

If he still showed resistance and made it clear that he did not believe what the Shadow Tower Master said, then he might have the opportunity to witness the magical powers displayed by the Shadow Tower Master with his own eyes.

By then, the relationship between them will be completely torn apart, and even if he realizes that the owner of the Shadow Tower has ill intentions, the possibility of him escaping will be almost non-existent.

After all, by that time, the owner of the Shadow Tower would definitely be on guard and would definitely not let him move freely without any precautions like he does now, without even setting up any restrictions.

After careful consideration, Zhou Yu gradually suppressed all his suspicions and doubts, and finally made up his mind to follow the owner of the Youying Tower first and deal with all kinds of changes with the remaining unchanged.

At this moment, after the owner of the Shadow Tower finished speaking, he flashed and came to his side.

As a jade-white hand stretched out from the black robe and gently placed on his left shoulder, an indescribable power surged instantly.

Zhou Yu only felt a flash before his eyes and the sound of wind whistling in his ears, as if he had passed through a space tunnel.

When he looked carefully again, he was already outside the Ghost King Sect. The scenery around him changed at a speed that was jaw-dropping.

This amazing speed of escape not only gave Zhou Yu a deeper understanding of the strength of the owner of the Shadow Tower, but also made him feel unprecedented awe in his heart.

He realized that what the OP had shown was probably just the tip of the iceberg, and his true strength was unfathomable.

This realization made Zhou Yu more determined to continue to endure.

At the same time, he also understood that any rash action might lead to irreversible consequences. Following behind the Lord of the Shadow Tower, he had to be extremely careful and cautious with every step.

Only in this way can we find a glimmer of hope in this treacherous world of cultivation and uncover the truth behind the layers of fog.

As Zhou Yu was lost in his thoughts, an inexplicable chill quietly crept up his spine, as if a factor of uneasiness was condensed in the air.

He immediately realized that this sudden feeling came from the mysterious owner of the Shadow Tower beside him.

His deep gaze was like a sharp sword in the dark night, piercing through the fog in Zhou Yu's heart and reaching the depths of his soul.

Zhou Yu's mind suddenly became filled with a myriad of thoughts, and he was about to ask.

The deep and hoarse voice of the Shadow Tower Master had already sounded, like the sound of an ancient bell, echoing in the empty heart: "Open the mana shield."

These four words are short but unquestionable, carrying an irresistible power.

Although Zhou Yu was full of doubts, he also understood that in front of such a strong man, any hesitation could be fatal.

He quickly calmed his mind, closed his eyes and concentrated. The magic power in his body surged like a river and instantly gathered between his hands.

As he shouted softly, circles of dark and deep light spread out from around his body, forming an indestructible magical shield that tightly wrapped him.

This scene finally made Li Qing, who had been observing silently on the side, show a look of satisfaction.

He moved slightly, and appeared in front of the shield like a ghost, and gently placed his palm on the dark barrier.

Then, an indescribable wave of power spread out, and Zhou Yu felt a darkness before his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a vast ocean, with the sea breeze blowing on his face, bringing with it a bit of saltiness and freedom.

The owner of the Shadow Tower did not give Zhou Yu too much time to adapt to this sudden change. He grabbed the shield with one hand, and with a flash of his body, he took Zhou Yu with him and disappeared into the deep seabed like a fish entering the water.

The pressure of the sea water and the darkness seemed to be isolated from them. They quickly passed through layers of obstacles and finally came to a magnificent palace hidden under the sea.

Inside the palace, the flickering candlelight illuminates a quiet secret room.

Li Qing turned around and looked at Zhou Yu with a sharp gaze.

Then, he slowly took out two treasures from his sleeves.

One is an antique mirror with a strange light flowing on the surface, as if it can see through everything in the world.

The other piece is an exquisite bracelet inlaid with dark blue gems, emitting a faint cold light.

"I know you have many doubts and concerns in your heart, but the world is full of troubles and cannot be fully resolved in one word." Li Qing's voice was hoarse and weathered, without a trace of emotion.

"This mirror is a replica of the Sky-peeping Mirror. It can see the demons hidden deep in your soul. You can verify the truth of what I say yourself."

"This treasure has already been refined by me. When you want to use it, you only need to separate your Nascent Soul from your body and reflect it gently."

He paused, then continued, "This bracelet is the Shadow Bracelet. Although I am very busy, you can use it to contact me if there is anything urgent."

"I will help you get rid of the demon species after I prepare the necessary spiritual objects."

"This is the cave where I have practiced for many years. You can wait here, but there are many restrictions around. You must not act without authorization, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

After saying that, an indescribable pressure burst out from Li Qing, like a prehistoric beast awakening, making Zhou Yu feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.

He quickly bowed and said respectfully and humbly, "I will definitely keep in mind the teachings of my predecessors and will not slack off in the slightest."

There was no response for a long time. When he looked up again, the figure of the owner of the Shadow Tower had disappeared at the other end of the secret room.

Only the two treasures were left lying quietly on the stone table, and the faint pressure lingering in the air reminded Zhou Yu that this was not a dream...
