Seeing this performance of the Hidden Cloud Valley as if it were a living thing, the faces of several Nascent Soul stage powerhouses present changed several times. In the end, it was the prepared Yuzhen who took the lead and flew into the valley: “If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you get the tiger’s cub? I, Yuzhen, will definitely get a share of the old devil Qing Yun’s things.”



Hong Yan and the others closely followed.

Qing Yun lowered his eyes to hide the divine light in his eyes. The internal formations of the Hidden Cloud Valley were all laid by him, and now, the formations are activated by him.

He followed the disciples of the major sects and entered the Hidden Cloud Valley through the teleportation array.

As soon as he entered the valley, Qing Yun explained to the disciples of the Sky Origin Sect, “The Hidden Cloud Valley formation has been opened. Immediately crush the token in your hand to teleport out when you encounter danger.”

After saying that, he did not wait for these people’s reaction and immediately moved towards the interior of the Hidden Cloud Valley.

But then, a young man’s figure stepped forward and stopped him. Qing Yun narrowed his eyes and saw that this young man was none other than Qing Chen, the genius of the Heavenly Pure Sect.

“Get out of the way.” He didn’t have the heart to play with a child here right now.

“You and I should have a battle. This time, I came to the Hidden Cloud Valley not to look for treasure but just to fight with you!” Qing Chen’s expression was firm, and his eyes were filled with battle intent.

He had long heard that there was a young man of the same age as him in the Sky Origin Sect, whose cultivation had not only reached the middle stage of Golden Dan but was also able to fight with those at the Nascent Soul stage.

But unfortunately, Qing Chen has not met with him in the several sect competitions.

Qing Yun glanced at him indifferently, he has long since passed the age of being competitive, and there is no one in this world that he can really see as a rival.

Ming Yan was laughing in Qing Yun’s mind: “This kid is quite funny. You were like him for a while when you were a child, riding a horse for a thousand miles despite your condition, just to compete for the first place with others.”

The man’s words instantly caused a flush of embarrassment on Qing Yun’s face. That was one of the few times he was very spirited. But now, this kid is looking for the wrong person.

Qing Yun’s body flickered and easily evaded Qing Chen’s interception. His disappearance made the wariness in Qing Chen’s eyes even stronger, but he could no longer find any trace of Qing Yun.

Qing Yun was simply like a fish in water 1 in this Hidden Cloud Valley. Every arrangement of grass and trees here were all carefully set up by him, and it would only take a blink of an eye to get from the outer edge to the inner part of the Hidden Cloud Valley.

As soon as he entered inside, Qing Yun threw down the token issued by the Sacred Dao Sect from his body. A huge flower bud bloomed in an instant, steadily catching the token thrown down by Qing Yun and preserving it carefully.

The Hidden Cloud Valley is actually a huge living thing in Qing Yun’s eyes. Every blade of grass, every bird and beast are his eyes and ears, transmitting the condition of the people in the valley to Qing Yun accurately.

This arrangement still exists even after Qing Yun has disappeared for many years, so the people of the Sacred Dao Sect have not been able to investigate this Hidden Cloud Valley properly.



Later, the Heavenly Dao detected him and Ming Yan in the various worlds, and I’m afraid it was only through the situation in the Hidden Cloud Valley that he was expected to be alive.

Qing Yun walked towards a mountain wall, and surprisingly, as if walking into water, his body passed through in an instant.

From then on, Qing Yun has truly entered his residence. Here, Ming Yan also no longer disguised himself and directly revealed his form to hold Qing Yun, and the two fell on the couch together.

If someone entered this place, they would be very surprised, because they would never have thought that Qing Yun, an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years, would have such a small and simple residence.

""

Only a soft couch, a futon, and a wheelchair filled this small room to the brim.

Ming Yan, however, was already used to it. Back then, the back of the Qing family’s ancestral hall was only that big, and the arrangement was quite similar to this place. With a wave of his hand, the images of several great powers who chased the Ming Yan Sword appeared on the wall.

Ming Yan kissed Qing Yun’s earlobe and smiled, “Look, these are all familiar people.”

Qing Yun stared at the few people on the screen for a good while, then unexpectedly raised an eyebrow and said, “The extermination of the Su family.”

Ming Yan nodded.

This was another bucket of dirty water that was inexplicably thrown on Qing Yun. The Su family, one of the top refining families on the Qian Yuan continent, was wiped out overnight, and even the newborn baby was not spared.

Some people have even investigated, saying that someone had set up an evil formation in the city of the Su family, using the lives and cultivation of these thousands of Su family members to convert them into their own qi.

The soundless killing and unseen cultivation, as well as the divine formation, all pointed to Qing Yun, whose reputation had already been blackened at the time.

Moreover, the surviving Su family members used the family’s magic technique to test the reaction of the Su family’s bloodline in Qing Yun’s hands, so they concluded that Qing Yun was the one responsible for the Su family’s extermination that day.

Qing Yun scoffed at that time. He wanted to exterminate the family but had to wait for the time when several strong people of the Su family were not around?

But at that time, everyone thought that even though his cultivation level was high, he was still sick, and he would definitely use all kinds of means to cure his body. They all thought that the method of taking away qi must be done by Qing Yun.

And Qing Yun did not bother to explain how the bloodline reaction on his hands happened. Someone came up to seek revenge, so he just killed them.

Now, among the five people who chased the Ming Yan Sword to the sword room, four were powerhouses at the Tribulation stage, three of whom were sent by the Sacred Dao Sect. The other one is Hong Yan, the elder of the Persian Silk Tree Sect who came to the Hidden Cloud Valley together with the disciples of the Heavenly Cloud Sect.



“You see, the three tribulation stage cultivators of the Sacred Dao Sect, two of them have life-preserving magic weapons in their personal space and the other one has a magic robe on him, all of them are from the Su family. The magic artifacts used by the Su family for themselves and the magic artifacts for sale do not have the same internal spiritual power operating formation, a formation that can only be seen on the magic artifacts used by the Su family for themselves.”

Ming Yan pointed to the picture of three of them to Qing Yun and said, “But the funny thing is, of these three, only one is surnamed Su.”

When he witnessed the spiteful abuse suffered by Qing Yun because of the Su family, if not for the fact that the rules of this world would extremely reject him as an outsider, he would have to personally show up to expose the conspiracy at that time.

The two holding the Su family magic weapon were a pair of brothers, one named Jiang Qian, one named Jiang Yong, precisely the people who destroyed the Su family back then. The magic weapons they used were even snatched from the hands of the Su family head back then.

The other person was one of the powerhouses who was out when the Su family was exterminated and was one of those who later chased Qing Yun in search of revenge, and has now entered the Sacred Dao Sect with the two culprits.

The tragic case that was wrongly accused to Qing Yun had the shadow of the Heavenly Dao behind it.

Although Qing Yun would reveal various truths about the original host in each world he crossed in order to complete his mission, in his own life, he had become so used to such incidents of dirty water being thrown at him that he didn’t even have the heart to clarify them.

And by now, the rest of the events have dissipated in the course of time. It was only more than a thousand years since the incident of the Su family, so people still often talk about it.

“Heh, shouting and screaming at me back then, but now they are talking with their own enemies.” Qing Yun glanced at that Su family member and then uninterestedly averted his gaze. He himself had long since had little or no impression of the Su family. It was only Ming Yan who had been suffocating in the sword back then that still remembered clearly.

But before Qing Yun retracted his gaze from the wall, he glanced at the only woman among the five, Hong Yan, who obviously hid her cultivation. She had reached the Mahayana stage and was clearly a couple with another Daoist cultivator.

Seeing that Qing Yun’s gaze had actually fallen on the woman who had teased him on the road, Ming Yan was immediately unhappy and pinned the person underneath him with a flip.

“Tsk, baby, you’re mine now, okay? So don’t look at anyone else, don’t think about anyone else.”

“What are you thinking about?” Qing Yun slapped on the man’s head. This man had been jealous a number of times along the way. He pointed at Hong Yan and said, “Look at her Dantian2, she was obviously pregnant with a baby that had just been born, but with an extremely weak life breath. I seem to have seen this situation before.”

Hearing Qing Yun’s explanation, Ming Yan’s gaze softened for a moment because he knew that because Qing Yun had no mother since childhood, so he would always unconsciously pay attention to a mother with a child.

But he still turned off the image on the wall at once and then rubbed Qing Yun’s cheek, pouting: “I don’t care, you’re only allowed to look at me.”

That said, Ming Yan lowered his head and kissed Qing Yun’s lips. He missed them very much in the past two days, so his movements could not help but be heavier, causing Qing Yun to pull his hair tightly, but the pain at the root of his hair stimulated the man’s desire.

“What does it feel like to think about it but not be able to do it?” The kiss ended, and Qing Yun looked at the man on top of himself with a teasing smile. He even came up and bit the knot of the man’s throat seductively.

Ming Yan’s breathing was ragged for a moment. He wiped his face and suddenly laughed: “Baby……how do you know I can’t do it?”

Noticing a reaction of a certain part of the man’s body which has absolutely no reason to react, Qing Yun was surprised for a moment. His eyes widened with a bit of disbelief as he asked Ming Yan: “How can you…… ”



Looking at his cute appearance, Ming Yan fell on Qing Yun with a smile: “Baby, did you know? Star beasts have a talent, which is to be able to integrate their bodies into anything. Right now, I am a star beast and also your Ming Yan.”

Saying that, he once again lowered his head to devour Qing Yun’s lips. He can only look but not eat days in this world for hundreds of years? How can this be!

Now, this body of Qing Yun was directly shaped by his soul, which simply had a special appeal to Ming Yan.

In this narrow room, Ming Yan used to spend countless hours as a sword, quietly hanging aside and gazing at Qing Yun, while also longing to really touch him and embrace him.

And now, he finally got what he wanted and formed the most intimate relationship with Qing Yun, so in this room, Ming Yan could not hold back any longer.

“Stupid……um! Is this the time to do such a thing?” Qing Yun glared at this impatient man.

“Baby, the Hidden Cloud Valley has just opened. There are still some people who have not arrived, there is no hurry, so……”

Ming Yan didn’t stop his movements at all, his ragged panting echoed throughout the room, and the coldness and loneliness that had been piling up in this narrow room for more than ten thousand years were finally washed away by the slowly rising heat and passion.

On the other side, Hong Yan and the others met up with Jiang Qian, Jiang Yong, and Su Yuan, the survivor of the Su family, in the sword room.

As soon as he saw Hong Yan, Su Yuan immediately sneered, and his eyes showed anger: “I didn’t expect to meet a traitor of the Su family here. Back then, when the Su family was destroyed, your mother went around to speak for the devil Qing Yun, and now you, the daughter, are also here for Qing Yun?”

Not intimidated at all by Su Yuan’s attitude, Hong Yan instead laughed delicately: “Su family? Senior Su Yuan probably thinks too highly of himself. I have long since ceased to be surnamed Su, and my mother is no longer even half related to your foolish Su family.”

Hearing Hong Yan’s words, Su Yuan was obviously frustrated in his heart. He was actually considered Hong Yan’s uncle. At this moment, looking at his sister’s daughter falling into the Persian Silk Tree Sect, his heart is both hateful and unable to forgive Hong Yan’s mother for what she did back then.

And with his cultivation, he naturally saw at a glance the situation of the baby from Hong Yan’s Dantian. He could only brush his sleeve, walk to the side, and pretend to pry into the mechanism in this sword room.

At this time, Hong Yan did not have any thoughts to discuss with Su Yuan. She immediately took her husband into the alchemy room to the side and said: “Chang Ling, you go check the pills left in the alchemy room, while I go to look through the medical arts. I heard that your father was extremely skilled in medicine during his lifetime, so he must have a way to save our child. At this moment, most of the strongest people at the Tribulation stage have not yet arrived, so it will be troublesome when there are many people after a while.”

Because of her mother, Hong Yan is not as hostile to Qing Yun as the rest of the cultivators, but carries certain respect for him. And carefully speaking, she herself has some affinity with Qing Yun, so this time, she thought of coming to the Hidden Cloud Valley to seek medicine for her child.

Although she was anxious, she still respectfully performed a formal salute before touching those medical books and prescriptions and only then proceeded to look through the medical arts.

And although her husband, Chang Ling, answered, his mind remained on the side of the sword room. He did not come here to be like Hong Yan, single-minded for his child. After all, for this man, he has not much affection at all for this child.

Chang Ling also knew the news put out by the Sacred Dao Sect that as long as someone got an item with Qing Yun’s breath, they would get the chance to get their original soul back. And the Sacred Dao Sect promised that if they get Qing Yun’s Ming Yan Sword, then they would give their original soul back with both hands!



Such a good opportunity will not be let go by a cultivator who has stepped into the Tribulation stage and is waiting to ascend.

Inside the sword room, Su Yuan, Jiang Yong, and Jiang Qian also began to search. Although their purpose is to get the Ming Yan word, but that devil Qing Yun obviously likes to collect such magic weapons, especially long swords. Any one of the swords in this sword room is enough to cause a bloody storm if taken to the outside world.

Jiang Yong and Jiang Qian both already had red eyes.

Jiang Qian raised his hand to take out his storage artifact but saw Su Yuan’s figure and suddenly remembered that this artifact was taken from the Su family when the family was exterminated. He could only sigh with regret and used another artifact instead.

“This old devil still occupies so many precious magic weapons after his death. It is also a waste!” Jiang Yong quickly collected the precious things in the sword room while still smiling towards Su Yuan, “We took these things, I’m afraid we are also avenging for Daoist friend Suyuan, I just don’t know if any of these magic artifacts are from your Suyuan family back then.”

After saying that, Jiang Yong snickered in his heart. In fact, that old devil does have some benefits, or at least he can take the blame for the two of them.

Su Yuan glanced at the magic weapons hanging on the wall and shook his head, “Although these magic weapons are fine, they are not from my Su family.”

Hearing Su Yuan’s answer, Jiang Yong and Jiang Qian’s eyes immediately flashed, not expecting that this Su Tuan could really recognize their own magic weapons. The two of them could be in trouble, because the magic weapons these two brothers are now accustomed to using on hand are from the Su family. Although they have been refined, changing the external form, it is unknown whether Su Yuan can still recognize them.

“I came here to check if that devil Qing Yun is back to life. If he is, I will personally kill him to honor the ancestors of my Su family.” Su Yuan looked around at the surrounding formations.

At that moment, the Ming Yan Sword looked at those swords that competed with him for favor be almost collected, and suddenly showed itself in the sword room.

Jiang Yong and Jiang Qian panicked and immediately forgot everything else. They used all their magic power to lunge up and grab the sword.

Jiang Qian was obviously one step faster. He just touched the sword for a moment, not knowing that he touched a certain formation. There was a fluctuation in the space, and several spatial cracks flashed in an instant, cutting Jiang Qian’s whole body into pieces, spilling blood and internal organs on the ground.

And this formation is obviously extremely special. Surprisingly, even Jiang Qian’s fleeing spirit was stirred to powder. Even Jiang Qian’s personal space shattered, and all the resources he had accumulated throughout his life scattered to the ground.

Jiang Qian already belonged to the world’s top strongest of the Tribulation stage cultivators, but was still unable to withstand such a blow under the formation of the Hidden Cloud Valley.

Jiang Yong was so frightened that he immediately stopped, but at that moment, it seemed that the entire formation of the Hidden Cloud Valley was finally activated. The sky spun under their feet, and all the exits were blocked.
