Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

Chapter 87 Love Stirs at Changliu Mountain

On Mount Changliu, sunlight streamed into every corner as disciples busied themselves in their respective tasks, diligently cultivating to protect the mountain. Hua Qiangu stood atop the peak, a gentle breeze ruffling her hair. She gazed into the distance, her eyes filled with worry.

Tang Bao flew to Hua Qiangu's side, "Mother, what are you thinking about? Are you worried about a new crisis?"

Hua Qiangu nodded. "Yes, Tang Bao. I have a feeling of unease, like something big is about to happen."

"Mother, no matter what crisis we face, we'll face it together! Just like before," Tangbao said firmly, waving her little antennae.

Just then, Sha Qianmo walked over. "Xiao Gu, you're spacing out again. Don't worry too much, we're here!"

Hua Qiangu smiled slightly, "Sister Sha, I know. It's just that these peaceful days make me feel even more uncertain."

"Hmph! Those troublemakers, we'll take care of them one by one!" Sha Qianmo said boldly, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

Meanwhile, on another part of Changliu Mountain, Bai Zihua was instructing his disciples in cultivation. His expression was stern, but his eyes revealed his concern for his disciples.

You Ruo ran over and asked, "Master, can we really cope with the new crisis by cultivating like this?"

Bai Zihua looked at her and said, "As long as you cultivate diligently and improve your strength, you will be able to fight when a crisis comes."

Suddenly, a strange light flashed across the sky, drawing everyone's attention. The Ancestral Master appeared from the light and slowly landed on Changliu Mountain. Upon seeing the Ancestral Master, the disciples of Changliu Mountain all knelt and bowed, their expressions filled with reverence.

When Hua Qiangu saw her ancestor, she hurriedly went over and asked, "Ancestor, what brings you here? Is there some new development?"

The patriarch's expression was solemn. "Little Bone, I sense a powerful dark force is reviving. This crisis may be more serious than we imagine."

"Then what should we do?" Hua Qiangu frowned.

"We need to find more allies to fight against this dark force. Also, you need to improve your strength as soon as possible, especially your control over the primordial power," the patriarch said.

Just as everyone was discussing, Hua Qiangu and Bai Zihua inadvertently exchanged glances. Their eyes met, and it was as if an invisible force flowed between them. Hua Qiangu's heart suddenly raced, and she hurriedly looked away.

For some reason, Bai Zihua seemed unusually different today; there was a strange emotion in his eyes. Hua Qiangu tried to calm herself down, but Bai Zihua's image kept appearing in her mind.

In the afternoon, Hua Qiangu strolled alone in the garden of Changliu Mountain. The flowers were in full bloom, and their fragrance filled the air. Lost in her thoughts, she did not notice that Bai Zihua had also come to the garden.

Bai Zihua watched Hua Qiangu's retreating figure, a strange impulse welling up inside him. He slowly walked towards Hua Qiangu, and when he reached her from behind, Hua Qiangu seemed to sense something. Just as she was about to turn around, Bai Zihua grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.

Hua Qiangu looked at Bai Zihua in surprise, "Master, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Zihua lowered his head and kissed her. Hua Qiangu's eyes widened, a wave of panic washing over her. She tried to push Bai Zihua away, "Master, what are you doing? We can't do this!"

But Bai Zihua held her even tighter, his eyes filled with deep affection and resolute determination, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Hua Qiangu struggled in his embrace, her heart torn by a great conflict. On one hand, she held Bai Zihua in deep admiration and love; on the other hand, a relationship between master and disciple was taboo on Changliu Mountain.

"Xiao Gu, don't push me away," Bai Zihua said softly, his voice trembling slightly, carrying emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.

Tears welled up in Hua Qiangu's eyes. "Master, we can't. This is against ethics."

Bai Zihua looked at her, his eyes filled with pain. "I know, but I can't control my feelings. Xiao Gu, I don't want to suppress them anymore."

Hearing his words, Hua Qiangu felt a sharp pain in her heart. She could sense Bai Zihua's pain and understood her own feelings for him. After struggling for a long time, Hua Qiangu slowly stopped struggling. She closed her eyes and let Bai Zihua kiss her. At that moment, it was as if time had stopped, and everything around them disappeared, leaving only the two of them.

This kiss ignited a long-suppressed flame within them, and they wavered between love and taboo. Meanwhile, elsewhere on Changliu Mountain, everyone was busy preparing for the impending crisis, unaware of what was unfolding in the garden.

After a long while, Bai Zihua released Hua Qiangu. The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with complex emotions. Hua Qiangu's face was flushed, and she lowered her head shyly.

"Xiao Gu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have acted so impulsively." Bai Zihua broke the silence.

Hua Qiangu raised her head and looked at him. "Master, what should we do? This feeling... we can't let anyone else know."

Bai Zihua nodded. "Yes, this is our secret. At least, we can't let anyone know until we resolve the current crisis."

"But can we really keep this a secret? And... is this really a good thing?" A hint of worry flashed in Hua Qiangu's eyes.

"I don't know, but I don't want to lose you, Xiao Gu." Bai Zihua held Hua Qiangu's hand tightly.

Just then, Tangbao flew over. "Mommy, you're here! I've been looking for you for so long. Hmm? Why do you all look so strange?"

Hua Qiangu hurriedly let go of Bai Zihua's hand, "No...nothing, Tang Bao, is something the matter?"

Tang Bao tilted her head and looked at them. "Our ancestor said he wants to gather everyone together. There's something important to discuss."

“Okay, let’s go over there.” Hua Qiangu said, and walked towards the council hall with Bai Zihua. The two of them were a little awkward along the way, each lost in their own thoughts.

Upon arriving at the council hall, everyone was already present. The Grandmaster stood at the front, his expression solemn, and said, "I have just received news that the source of the dark power is in the Demon Abyss in the far north, where a Dark Demon Lord is awakening. If he fully awakens, the entire world of immortals and heroes will be plunged into darkness."

"Then what can we do to stop him?" Dongfang Yuqing asked.

"We need to go to the Demon Abyss to find a way to seal the Demon Lord. But the Demon Abyss is fraught with danger, guarded by various evil formations and powerful demons," the patriarch said.

"No matter how dangerous it is, we have to try!" Sha Qianmo said.

“Yes, we can’t just sit here and wait to die,” Luo Shiyi echoed.

Hua Qiangu looked at everyone and said firmly, "Then let's prepare to set off immediately! This mission concerns the fate of the entire Xianxia world."

The group began preparations for their journey to the Demon Abyss, collecting magical artifacts, elixirs, and various other items. Amidst their busy work, Hua Qiangu and Bai Zihua occasionally exchanged glances before quickly looking away. They both held each other in their hearts, yet had to temporarily set aside their feelings and focus on the immediate crisis.

On the night before her departure, Hua Qiangu came to her spatial dimension alone. Looking at everything familiar, she felt a mix of emotions. A cute little baby flew over, saying, "Sister, you're going to a very dangerous place. You must come back safely!"

Hua Qiangu patted the baby's head. "Baby, I will. This mission is very difficult, and I can't let everyone down."

"Sister, are you troubled? I feel like something's wrong with you," the adorable child asked, blinking her big eyes.

Hua Qiangu hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell Mengbao about her relationship with Bai Zihua. "It's nothing, Mengbao. I'm just a little worried about this mission."

The next morning, Hua Qiangu and her companions embarked on their journey to the Demon Abyss. Along the way, they traversed treacherous mountains, dense forests, and swift-flowing rivers. At each stop, different dangers awaited them.

As they traversed a misty forest, a black fog permeated the air, possessing a bewitching effect. Hua Qiangu and her companions felt dizzy and disoriented as soon as they entered the forest.

"Everyone be careful, there's something strange about this fog!" Hua Qiangu shouted a warning.

"Hmph! What can mere fog do to me!" Sha Qianmo cast a spell to try to dispel the fog, but the fog only grew thicker.

"Sister Sha, don't waste your energy. We need to find the source of the fog," Hua Qiangu said.

As the group groped their way through the forest, suddenly, a group of black ghosts burst out of the mist and pounced on them.

"Prepare for battle!" Bai Zihua shouted, and everyone immediately drew their swords to meet the enemy.

These black phantoms are incredibly fast, and they can pass through a person's body to directly attack their soul. Hua Qiangu uses magic to protect her soul while fighting the phantoms.

"Everyone, concentrate your efforts and attack their core!" Dongfang Yuqing had discovered the ghost's weakness.

Following Dongfang Yuqing's instructions, the group focused their attacks on the ghost's core and finally repelled it. However, everyone was exhausted after the battle.

"We've only just entered the forest, and it's already this dangerous. Who knows what awaits us further ahead?" You Ruo said with some worry.

"No matter what happens, we must keep moving forward," Hua Qiangu encouraged everyone.

They continued their journey through the forest and finally found the source of the fog. It turned out to be a dark magic circle continuously releasing the fog. Hua Qiangu and the others worked together to destroy the magic circle, and the fog gradually dissipated.

After leaving the misty forest, they arrived at an ancient city. The city gates were tightly closed, and the city walls were covered with various strange symbols.

"Where is this place? It looks rather eerie," Shuofeng asked.

"No matter where it is, we have to go in and take a look. Maybe there are clues leading to the Demon Abyss," Hua Qiangu said.

As they approached the city, the city gates suddenly opened slowly, and a powerful suction force came from inside, pulling them in.

The city was deathly silent, and a stench of decay permeated the streets. The houses on both sides were dilapidated, as if concealing countless secrets.

"Everyone be careful, something feels off here." Bai Zihua looked around warily.

Suddenly, a group of zombie-like monsters surged out of the house, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on Hua Qiangu and the others.

"These disgusting things again! Kill them!" Sha Qianmo brandished his weapon and charged forward.

The group engaged in a fierce battle with the monsters, which, though slow-moving, were incredibly strong and numerous.

"We can't fight them head-on; we need to find their weaknesses," Hua Qiangu said.

During the battle, Hua Qiangu discovered that the monsters' heads were their weak points; attacking their heads would eliminate them.

"Attack their heads!" Hua Qiangu shouted.

The group changed tactics, focusing their attacks on the monsters' heads, and finally eliminated all of them.

After some exploration, they found an ancient stone tablet in the center of the city, on which was engraved some information about the Demon Abyss.

"It mentions here that the Abyss of Demons has three levels, each with a different guardian beast, and the Demon Lord resides at the very bottom level," Dongfang Yuqing explained the inscription on the stone tablet.

"It seems we still have a long way to go." Hua Qiangu looked at the stone tablet with a solemn expression.

After a brief rest in the city, they continued their journey towards the Demon Abyss. Every step was fraught with danger, but they did not retreat, for they knew they were the last hope of the immortal world.

As they drew closer to the Abyss of Demons, the danger grew ever greater, but Hua Qiangu and her companions' resolve only strengthened. They would defend this world with their lives, even if endless darkness lay ahead.

As they approached the first level of the Demon Abyss, the sky suddenly turned pitch black, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a powerful sense of oppression swept over them.

"Everyone be careful, we're about to enter the first level of the Demon Abyss." Hua Qiangu gripped her sword tightly, preparing to face a new challenge.

Suddenly, a giant three-headed demonic hound burst out of the darkness, its three heads spewing flames, frost, and venom, roaring at Hua Qiangu and the others.

"Is this the guardian beast of the Demon Abyss? It looks tough to deal with!" Luo Shiyi said.

"Let's go together!" Hua Qiangu shouted, charging towards the three-headed demon hound first.

Everyone unleashed their magic, engaging in a thrilling battle against the three-headed demon hound. The hound's power was immense; each attack caused the earth to tremble.

"We need to find its weakness!" Bai Zihua shouted as he carefully observed the demon hound's attack patterns.

During the fierce battle, Hua Qiangu discovered that the demonic hound would pause briefly after spitting out venom.

"Everyone, be careful! It will pause after spraying venom. We'll take that opportunity to attack!" Hua Qiangu shouted.

Seizing the opportunity, the group launched their strongest attack the instant the three-headed demonic hound paused while spitting out venom. After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the three-headed demonic hound and successfully entered the first level of the Demon Abyss.

Inside the first level of the Demon Abyss, there was scorching lava and sharp rocks everywhere, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of sulfur.

"It's so hot here, I feel like I'm going to be roasted alive." You Ruo wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Everyone, please be careful. The environment here is dangerous, and there might be other traps," Hua Qiangu warned.

They cautiously advanced through the first level of the Abyss, when suddenly the rocks beneath their feet began to move, forming a huge maze.

"Oh no, we're trapped in the maze!" Shuofeng exclaimed.

"Don't panic, we'll definitely find a way out," Hua Qiangu said calmly. She began to observe the walls of the maze, looking for clues.

After wandering through the maze for a long time, they noticed some strange markings on the walls. Hua Qiangu guessed that these markings might be clues to finding their way out of the maze.

“Let’s follow these marks and see,” Hua Qiangu said.

Following the marked directions, the group finally emerged from the maze. But as soon as they left, they encountered a swarm of demonic bats.

"These bats look ferocious, everyone be careful!" Dongfang Yuqing shouted.

The demonic bats swooped down on them, their wings as sharp as blades, and they spewed black smoke from their mouths.

"Everyone, form a circle and protect each other!" Bai Zihua commanded.

The group stood back to back, engaging in battle with the demonic bats. During the fight, Hua Qiangu discovered that the bats were afraid of bright light.

"Let's attack them with a bright light!" Hua Qiangu cast a spell, emitting a bright light, and the others followed suit.

Under the intense light, the demon bats scattered in all directions. They had successfully survived the crisis of the first level of the Abyss and were now heading towards the second level.

Each level of the Demon Abyss presents new challenges, but Hua Qiangu and her companions, relying on mutual trust and unwavering will, advance step by step towards the bottom level where the Demon Lord resides. Their story continues, writing their own legend on this perilous journey.
