Emperor Qiankun

Inside the time gate of Qiankun Hall.

Li Qingyuan did not stop practicing. He continued to swallow the elixir, and then circulated the mysterious power in his body, slowly refining the medicinal power of the elixir.

He secretly thought in his heart that as long as he could successfully break through one more level, he would stop for the time being and calm down.

Time in the outside world passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, another two days had passed.

One day, Li Qingyuan, who was practicing, was interrupted by a knock on the door.

He immediately left the Qiankun Hall, tidied his clothes, and then walked towards the door.

Before he could reach out to open the door, it was suddenly pushed open. Li Qingyuan looked up and saw that the person who came was Su Yaoyue.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you miss me already?"

Li Qingyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a hint of sarcasm.

Facing Li Qingyuan's teasing, Su Yaoyue frowned slightly, her expression becoming increasingly unsightly, and she angrily said, "Stop joking, Junior Master-Uncle. I have something serious to tell you."

"what happened?"

Li Qingyuan also noticed something was wrong at this moment, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

Su Yaoyue took a deep breath and said slowly, "Take a look at this first."

As she spoke, she raised her delicate hand and handed over a yellowed piece of paper.

Li Qingyuan took the paper and saw that there were not many words on it and the handwriting was very sloppy.

"Senior Sister, I went to Qifeng Mountain first. Please ask my brother to come and play with you."

After reading it, Li Qingyuan felt a little strange. Li Muqiu had never called him brother, but always called him little ghost.

He couldn't help but look at Su Yaoyue, waiting for her further explanation.

......

"A few days ago, my junior sister and I agreed to go to Yunshui City for a stroll. But when I went to her room this morning, she was gone. Only this piece of paper was left."

Su Yaoyue spoke worriedly after seeing Li Qingyuan finish reading it.

She continued, "But the writing on this paper is not in the right place, and I am very familiar with Junior Sister's handwriting. This is definitely not her handwriting. So I suspect Junior Sister may have been kidnapped!"

After hearing this, Li Qingyuan was basically certain that Li Muqiu was indeed in danger.

"Junior Master, what should I do? It's all my fault. If I had discovered it earlier..."

Su Yaoyue said self-reproachfully, her eyes slightly red.

Looking at Su Yaoyue who was blaming herself, Li Qingyuan quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, you're not to blame for this. Let's calm down first and then think of a way to save Li Muqiu."

"Has anything special happened in the past few days?"

Li Qingyuan changed the subject and tried to find clues from other aspects.

After Li Qingyuan asked this, Su Yaoyue calmed down a bit and tried to recall, "In recent days... Oh, right! A few days ago, news came from the Criminal Law Hall that Wang Yi and Murong Feng had been punished. They were ordered not to leave the sect without permission for the next six months."

Li Qingyuan frowned slightly upon hearing this and asked, "Huh? What are they doing?"

Su Yaoyue frowned, her face filled with indignation as she said, "Humph! It's because in the Tianhuan Secret Realm, when we were in dire straits, not only did they not lend us a helping hand, but they turned against us and went to help that abominable Yang Haochen! When the Sect Master learned of this, he was furious and ordered the Criminal Law Hall to punish them without a word."

"But in my opinion, this so-called punishment will not have any effect at all! After all, Murong Feng is Elder Kong's favorite disciple, and Wang Yi is Elder Wang's beloved son!"

Before Su Yaoyue finished speaking, she hurriedly interrupted herself and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Junior Master, we have to leave soon. I don't know how Junior Sister is doing now."

At this moment, Li Qingyuan fell into deep thought, and the name Wang Yi appeared in his mind again.

Suddenly, he had an intuition that Wang Yi must be related to Li Muqiu's disappearance.

But he thought that this matter should have nothing to do with Murong Feng, as Murong Feng was not that brave.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyuan's eyes flashed and he put the Longyuan Sword on his back.

He looked at Su Yaoyue and said in a deep voice, "Let's go and see what tricks Wang Yi is playing this time."

He wanted to see what Wang Yi was doing behind the scenes.

If it was really Wang Yi who did it, he would make him pay a heavy price!

......

When he came out of the room, Li Qingyuan saw the old ox lying on the ground and sleeping soundly.

Seeing this, he walked forward without saying a word, kicked the old ox's butt with a flying kick, and shouted loudly: "Let's go, old ox, don't sleep anymore."

The old ox was awakened by the sudden kick. It immediately widened its eyes and looked at Li Qingyuan with dissatisfaction.

However, when he saw the space ring in Li Qingyuan's hand light up and two spiritual herbs appeared out of thin air.

The old ox immediately lost its temper, rolled up its tongue, swallowed the spiritual herb directly, and then slowly crawled up from the ground.

Then, Li Qingyuan and Su Yaoyue sat on the broad back of the old ox.

"Om."

With a slight sound, the space fluctuated slightly, and the figures of two people and one cow instantly left Li Qingyuan's residence.

Along the way, Li Qingyuan pointed forward from time to time, guiding the old ox to Qifeng Mountain.

The old ox strides forward with all four hooves at an astonishing speed.

Two hours later they arrived at Sunset Forest. Without stopping, they continued to move towards Qifeng Mountain.

Time passed minute by minute and the sky gradually darkened.

It was not until dusk that they finally arrived at the foot of Qifeng Mountain.

Looking up, the top of the mountain is still shrouded in layers of clouds and mist, like a fairyland, making it difficult to see clearly.

Li Qingyuan and Su Yaoyue jumped off the back of the old ox. After their feet landed firmly on the ground, they started walking slowly towards the top of the mountain.

The old ox followed the two men slowly, its big eyes flashing with curiosity.

......

The evil wind on Qifeng Mountain was still raging as usual, and the howling wind made bursts of sharp and piercing sounds.

Li Qingyuan and Su Yaoyue's clothes were also rustling in the wind.

However, with the experience from last time and the improvement of his own cultivation, Li Qingyuan seemed calm this time and was no longer as embarrassed as before.

Before they knew it, they had walked thousands of feet, and the evil wind around them became increasingly violent.

However, for Li Qingyuan and others, this is just a small problem.

Not long after, they arrived at the stronghold where Li Qingyuan had wiped out the bandits last time.

Just as Li Qingyuan was about to move forward, he suddenly became aware of the fluctuation of aura in the village.

Li Qingyuan couldn't help but feel puzzled. He had clearly captured all the bandits here last time, so there shouldn't be any survivors. Could there be some that slipped through the net?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Li Qingyuan's mind: "Could it be that... Wang Yi is hiding here?"

Thinking of this, Li Qingyuan no longer hesitated and immediately strode into the mountain village.
