The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

“That… Isn’t that Qiu Yaoyao from the Heavenly Dragon Race?

And the person next to her must be Su Jingzhen, the one who’s been making waves lately. What are they doing here?”

“Look at the Tortoise Sect’s sect protection formation, it is fully activated. And Qiu Yaoyao’s tone doesn’t seem friendly.

Could it be that the Tortoise Sect has been on high alert lately because of the Heavenly Dragon Race?”

“Hahaha, I heard that the Tortoise Sect had some bad blood with Su Jingzhen. It seems that the rumors were true.

Although the Heavenly Dragon Race is powerful, and Qiu Yaoyao holds an elite position in the first sequence, her cultivation is still only at the Unity Realm.

Can she really challenge the Tortoise Sect?”

“If the Tortoise Sect stays in their formation without showing up, they might be able to hold out just by relying on that.”

Qiu Yaoyao’s thunderous roar didn’t just echo through the depths of Xuanyuan Lake and reach the Tortoise Sect – countless cultivators in the area also heard it.

The news of Qiu Yaoyao and Su Jingzhen’s arrival spread quickly, reaching the various factions in the Luo River region.

The two of them were currently the most talked about figures in the entire Luo River region, and every move they made was enough to attract everyone’s attention.

Their actions had the potential to change the power dynamics of the entire region.

As the news spread, representatives from numerous factions began to make their way to Xuanyuan Lake.

At this point, keeping a low profile was out of the question.

As Su Jingzhen watched the growing crowd at the lake, along with the streaks of light rushing toward the scene, he sighed inwardly.

In his mind, if the Tortoise Sect had cooperated, things could have gone smoothly – he would have taken a quick look at their ancestral tortoise and made a contract with a level six or higher black tortoise.

With that, their grudge could have been put to rest.

After all, Su Jingzhen wasn’t the type to hold a grudge unnecessarily.

But now, with the Tortoise Sect refusing to open their gates or give him any opportunity, things were taking an unpleasant turn.

If this continued, the situation might escalate beyond his control.

Seeing the frustration on Su Jingzhen’s face, Qiu Yaoyao chuckled softly.

“I know you’ve always preferred to keep a low profile.

But once your cultivation and status reach a certain level, that kind of thinking becomes ridiculous.

Every word you say and every move you make will be scrutinized by countless eyes.

And since we’re both in the first sequence of the Heavenly Dragon Race, we can’t escape the spotlight.

For now, you’re lucky – your status of the first sequence hasn’t been fully exposed yet.

But look at me-on the surface, it seems like I’m basking in glory, but even among the core disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Race, many are waiting for the chance to bring me down.

Wherever there are people, there are disputes. And wherever there are people, competition is inevitable.”

Her words were accompanied by a knowing smile as she looked at Su Jingzhen’s helpless expression.

She had long gotten used to living in the spotlight.

In fact, the Heavenly Dragon Race’s way of doing things was strikingly similar to his former sect, the Evil Moon Sect – arrogant and domineering.

After all, the Heavenly Dragon Race was undeniably the strongest power in the Luo River region. Being too reserved would only make them appear cowardly to others.

Arrogance and boldness were the true characteristics of a core disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Race.

Su Jingzhen nodded silently, but didn’t add anything.

At this moment, as more and more people gathered, a bright light finally appeared on the turbulent surface of Xuanyuan Lake.

Inside the illuminated area, several figures flickered into view.

Two hunchbacked elders with grim faces emerged from the lake and coldly stared at Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao standing on the shore.

“Qiu Yaoyao, First Sequence disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Race, what is the meaning of this visit?

As far as we know, our Tortoise Sect has not offended your Heavenly Dragon Race in any way.”

Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao didn’t recognize these two elders, but they made no effort to hide their auras-they were both at the late stage of the Unity Realm.

Their presence alone indicated that these two elders held important positions within the Tortoise Sect.

Before Qiu Yaoyao could respond, Su Jingzhen took a step forward, a playful grin on his face.

He had silently absorbed Qiu Yaoyao’s words earlier, and now that keeping a low profile was out of the question, he decided to take a high profile approach.

Su Jingzhen raised his voice and boldly declared:

“I, Su Jingzhen, core disciple of the Heavenly Dragon Race, was the one who killed your Earth Tortoise Envoy.

Your Sky Tortoise Envoy and I have a personal grudge, and your Tortoise sect owes me a seventh-level black tortoise.

How can you say that there is no enmity between your sect and the Heavenly Dragon Race?”

By laying everything out in the open, Su Jingzhen hoped to simplify things. After all, it was the way of the strong to act decisively and transparently.

Upon hearing his blunt declaration, the two elders’ expressions became even darker.

They were well aware of the Tortoise Sect’s history with Su Jingzhen, but they hadn’t expected him to be so direct and unorthodox in his approach.

His boldness disrupted the script they had prepared in their minds, leaving them at a loss for how to respond.

One of the elders finally spoke up, trying to maintain some composure:

“You must be joking, sir.

You may be affiliated with the Heavenly Dragon Race, but what gives you the right to represent them?

And even though our sect may have had some grievances with you, wasn’t the death of our Earth Tortoise Envoy and the serious injury of the Sky Tortoise Envoy a heavy enough price to pay?

When did we ever agree to owe you a seventh-level black tortoise?”

Now that the words were out in the open, the two old men did not hold back.

Their contempt was obvious as they spoke to Su Jingzhen.

In their opinion, Su Jingzhen alone did not have the ability to challenge the Tortoise Sect.

The only reason they had come out to respond was to save Qiu Yaoyao’s face.

Upon hearing their words, Qiu Yaoyao couldn’t help but smile.

“Maybe you two old men don’t understand the situation today. Su Jingzhen is under my protection, and he can represent me. But can’t I represent the Heavenly Dragon Race?”

Qiu Yaoyao’s declaration left the two elders speechless.

Before they could respond, Qiu Yaoyao continued, “I don’t want to waste time with you.

I’m here today to settle our differences. Hand over two seventh-level black tortoises, and from this day forward, all grievances between the Heavenly Dragon Race and the Tortoise Sect will be settled.

Otherwise, I can’t guarantee how things will escalate.

The spiritual energy in Xuanyuan Lake is quite good; it can serve as a burial ground or a division of the Heavenly Dragon Race.”

Her words were a blatant threat.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the two Tortoise Sect elders darkened once again.

“Since you are so arrogant, try to break through our Tortoise Sect’s protective formation first.

Our Tortoise Sect has stood in the Luo River region for countless years; we are not made of clay.”

As Qiu Yaoyao became more aggressive, the two old men also began to stand their ground.

Perhaps this had always been their natural attitude.

Since only Su Jingzhen and Qiu Yaoyao were present, they were probably trying to assert their authority through these two.

After their words, the two figures sank back into the water.

The surface of the lake was soon covered by the familiar mist again.

The protective formation of the Tortoise Sect was once again fully activated.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers around felt a surge of excitement.

“I thought that with Qiu Yaoyao here in person, the Tortoise Sect would have to give in to all their demands. It seems that they aren’t as cowardly as I thought.”

“If the Tortoise Sect can really stand up to the Heavenly Dragon Race this time, I will respect them as a true warrior… oh, I mean a good turtle.”

“How interesting! I didn’t expect such excitement in the Luo River region recently.

First, the Yan Clan recovered their high-level Water Spirit Saint Body, followed by the Heavenly Dragon Conference.

Now, the Divine Kingdom seems to be alive again, and it’s rumored that Shen Yifeng, who once stirred the winds in the Luo River region, has returned.

And now, the Tortoise Sect is about to have a fierce clash with the Heavenly Dragon Race.

Wonderful, just wonderful!”

As the Tortoise Sect’s stance became clear, more and more onlookers gathered around.

Su Jingzhen turned his gaze back to Qiu Yaoyao.

“What should we do now? The Tortoise Sect’s protective formation doesn’t seem to be easy to break.”

As he spoke, a frown appeared on his forehead.

Since Xuanyuan Lake was the headquarters of the Tortoise Sect, their protective formation must be quite formidable.

Moreover, from their Immovable Tortoise Seal inheritance, it was obvious that their protective formation was as tough as a tortoise, with incredible defensive capabilities.

Noticing Su Jingzhen’s concern, a teasing smile once again crept onto Qiu Yaoyao’s lips.

“Do you know what lies beneath the Tortoise Sect in Xuanyuan Lake?

It’s nothing like the Crystal Palace you imagined. This floating water is just the surface.

There is another space underneath, and the essence of their protective formation is rooted in this body of water.

Before I decided to bring you here to contract their black tortoises, I gathered a lot of information about the Tortoise Sect.

Today, they might want to play the role of a timid turtle, but it won’t be that easy.

If I didn’t have any confidence, why would I bring you here alone?”

Upon hearing Qiu Yaoyao’s words, Su Jingzhen was momentarily stunned.

This was indeed true, given Qiu Yaoyao’s status, wiping out a second-tier power was just a matter of a few words.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Heavenly Dragon Race would have countless cultivators above the Unity Realm willing to act on her behalf.

If she lacked confidence and simply brought Su Jingzhen along, only to find out that they couldn’t even break through the Black Tortoise’s defenses after much effort, she would be the laughing stock of all the cultivators in the Luo River region.

After finishing her sentence, Qiu Yaoyao didn’t say much more to Su Jingzhen.

With a flick of her seal, a flash of crimson light erupted from the fiery spirit beast pouch at her waist.

Suddenly, a giant snake appeared above Xuanyuan Lake, stretching an impressive 450 feet in length, its entire body a vibrant red – no, it was better described as a flood dragon!

Strangely enough, it sported a pair of antennae on its head, although it still had the head of a python.

Seeing this ferocious yet somewhat majestic giant head, Su Jingzhen’s heart trembled.

This was the same beast that Qiu Yaoyao had summoned at the Linjiang branch of the Evil Moon Sect, which had devoured over a hundred Soul Formation and Nascent Soul cultivators in one gulp.

“Ming Zhu, dry up this lake for me!”

Qiu Yaoyao commanded the fire dragon that was coiling in the air.

Every scale on the creature seemed to ignite, unleashing boundless divine flames.

The next moment, torrents of flaming fire rained down on the entirety of Xuanyuan Lake.

The flames burned fiercely even when they met water.

In an instant, a large amount of water vapor began to rise as the fire fell.

As it unleashed its full power, Su Jingzhen realized that the aura emanating from this massive demon had actually reached the peak of the seventh level

So far, the only contract beasts that Su Jingzhen had seen that belonged to Qiu Yaoyao, aside from this peak seventh-rank flood dragon, was a shape-shifting Black Marsh Water Python known as Hei Tong.

Su Jingzhen also knew that there were probably more than just these two contract beasts in Qiu Yaoyao’s spirit beast bag.

The Dragon Control Art was indeed fundamental to the Heavenly Dragon Race; it seemed like just one person could summon a group of powerful demon beasts in an instant.

While most situations seemed to be one-on-one, they could quickly turn into a group battle.

What was the point of playing this way?

For the core disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Race, no matter who they fought in a one-on-one duel, it was basically a dimension reduction attack.

After summoning Ming Zhu, Qiu Yaoyao was quite satisfied with the results of the flood dragon.

She then turned to Su Jingzhen and said, “In order to break through their turtle shell, we need to do one more thing together.

Today, we’ll slowly wear them down until they have no temper left.”

With that, Qiu Yaoyao wasted no time and led Su Jingzhen to the source of Xuanyuan Lake.

Although it was a lake, it was connected to the endless Luo River.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the confluence of Xuanyuan Lake and the Luo River.

“In order to drain the lake, we have to cut the connection. Otherwise, even if a Great Luo Immortal came, he wouldn’t be able to drain the Luo River.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her fiery spirit beast pouch once again flashed with light.

The Hei Tong that Su Jingzhen had seen earlier appeared beside her again.

“Sister Yaoyao, what should I do?”

In most cases, Qiu Yaoyao would summon Hei Tong for battle.

As soon as she appeared, Hei Tong exuded a fierce aura and immediately entered a combat state.

However, when she saw only Su Jingzhen nearby, a hint of confusion flickered in Hei Tong’s eyes.

“Can you cut off this area?”

Qiu Yaoyao didn’t waste any words, pointing at the narrow passage as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Hei Tong looked at the gap, which was only a few kilometers wide, and nodded.

The next moment, to Su Jingzhen’s surprise, Hei Tong transformed into the form of the Black Marsh Water Python and immediately expanded to a length of one hundred meters.

Immediately, a layer of cold, dark light shimmered on Hei Tong’s body.

With a surge of black energy, it fell onto the surface of the water.

In the next instant, the seemingly bottomless lake was frozen by Hei Tong’s energy.

With one Ming Zhu, one Hei Tong, one fire, and one ice, they had gathered all the abilities they needed for today.

Seeing this scene, Su Jingzhen could only exclaim inwardly,

“How incredibly useful!”
