Chapter 267 Tracking
After all, once the meridians were shattered, only a peerless master was able to connect them.
Therefore, only a Qi Artist at the great completeness of Holy God could connect the meridians for Liu Shaoming. Otherwise, he would be a useless person who couldn’t even lift water all his life.
“I said if there was a next time, I would never show you any mercy! Go back to find a Qi Artist at the great completeness of Holy God to connect meridians for you... Of course, I suppose you’ll never find someone like that in your life!” Hua Qiyue said coldly. Anyone who wanted to hurt Tianci deserved to die!
Yun Shimo snorted, “If I were you, I’d just take his life. Why should you be polite to him?”
“Brother Yun, you don’t know that being a useless person is worse than dying.” Ji Feng raised his eyebrows indifferently. Hua Qiyue may know this feeling better.
Before Rong Qiyue’s soul came into her body, Hua Qiyue had been living a dog’s life.
She was subjected to ridicule and bullying. These things were common to her, for she had no strength to fight back.
And it was estimated that Liu Shaoming could never be able to find someone to connect his meridians!
A Qi Artist at the great completeness of Holy God was a legend. Even if Liu Shaoming found a Qi Artist at that level, the latter would not necessarily connect meridians for him. After all, generally speaking, such a Qi Artist would not help others.
The divine being was arrogant.
“I see. It seems that my wife is considerate.” Yun Shimo smiled gently and cast an indifferent glance at Xuanyuan Qing’er.
Xuanyuan Qing’er shook all over. Xuanyuan Family and Yun Family were deadly foes. Was Yun Shimo going to kill her now?
As Xuanyuan Qing’er thought this, Yun Shimo had flickered the middle finger of his left hand, shooting a silver light out. It was so swift and fierce that it knocked down the five Qi Artists around her, making some noises!
“Ah... Big brother, third brother...” Xuanyuan Qing’er’s eyes were wide open. As she looked at the five Qi Artists who had lost their breath on the ground, tears rolled down her cheeks. She raised her pretty little face and said ferociously, “Yun Shimo, if you have the balls, kill me!”
Yun Shimo curled his lip slightly. Xuanyuan Family had wiped out his ancestors, and now there were only three members of the Yun Family left. In comparison, Xuanyuan Family was more ruthless!
When enemies met, they were furious. Yun Shimo waved his hand again. Xuanyuan Qing’er gave a screech and fell on Liu Shaoming.
The pain in her legs was so sharp that she turned pale.
“Go back and tell your old Patriarch to bring his men to me... It’s time to put an end to all the grudges of the previous generation,” Yun Shimo said flatly. He could never forget how his grandmother and grandfather had died in Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan’s hands.
However, there was never an end of taking revenge. Yun Shimo had no intention of killing them all. Even if Xuanyuan Family had treated Yun Family so ruthlessly in those days, he still did not want to so.
As a result, he spared the lives of sixteen Qi Artists and that of Liu Shaoming. When Heavenly Saint Xuanyuan did come to him, then all the grudges would be settled on the spot. Their children would no longer be involved.
Naturally, this was Yun Shimo’s thought.
He wondered if he could defeat that old monster when he came to him.
“Good... Yun Shimo! I’ll never let you go!” Xuanyuan Qing’er’s beautiful eyes were full of hatred!
The other Qi Artists kept quiet out of fear, and no one dared to raise any objection. After all, their discontent would inevitably lead to their tragic death.
They could do nothing but watch Hua Qiyue and the others walk away. Then they hastened to dress the wounds for Liu Shaoming and Xuanyuan Qing’er.
This battle was settled so simply. The strength of Hua Qiyue and the others greatly exceeded Xuanyuan Qing’er’s expectations.
“It seems that this time... Patriarch has to go out!” Xuanyuan Qing’er thought, fighting back the pain of her broken joints.
While Liu Shaoming lay there dully, weak in breathing, and could not withstand a single blow.
His meridians could probably never be connected, and he would be a useless person forever. Now for him, to live was no better than to die. He would rather Hua Qiyue had killed him than live in disgrace!

Yun Shimo looked at Bai Qianxue standing under the Bodhi Tree. That man was slender, with silver hair and a faint smile on his stunning face.
Such a man was so conspicuous that anyone would look up to him.
Ji Feng wore a faint smile and said, “Look, City Master is coming for us!”
“Brother Qianxue!” Ji Jing cried sweetly, running to him with joy.
Bai Qianxue smiled gently, like a white lotus flower that was quietly blooming. “Jing’er, long time no see.”
“Yeah, we haven’t seen each other for almost a year. Tianci, come and greet Brother Qianxue. He is very nice to us and also refined several Top-grade Magic Pellets for your mom!” Ji Jing cried out, afraid that no one else would know.
Hua Qiyue just smiled quietly. Yun Shimo kept a calm look, but the lake in his heart was ruffled as if a rock had been thrown into it!
Huh? Another peerlessly handsome man who had something to do with Hua Qiyue?
The Top-grade Magic Pellet... In Yun Shimo’s memory, it was an area he dared not touch. He didn’t expect that Bai Qianxue had refined several of them!
Yun Shimo’s heart sank suddenly, for he saw the joy in Hua Qiyue’s eyes.
“Brother Qianxue, why did you come here to wait for us? How long have you been waiting here?” Hua Qiyue asked, smiling as she ran to him with Tianci.
“Not long ago. I wanted to see Xuanji,” Bai Qianxue said baldly, and his eyes fell on Tianci.
The amazing power that the boy had just exerted was something Bai Qianxue admired and interested in.
“Tianci, be quick, call him uncle,” Hua Qiyue whispered.
“No, call me brother. I’m not that old!” Bai Qianxue was seldom humorous. Everyone laughed, but Yun Shimo kept a calm face.
“Brother Qianxue, you are shameless. You’re old enough to be Tianci’s father, and you still let him call you brother!” Ji Jing said with a smile.
Tianci stared at Bai Qianxue with big eyes. It was the first time he had seen a silver-haired man, and he was naturally very curious.
“Brother Qianxue!” Tianci obediently called Bai Qianxue brother. The crowd chuckled again. And of course, Bai Qianxue knew that Tianci was Hua Qiyue’s adopted son.
Yun Shimo had come up to Hua Qiyue and stood close to her, as if to display his strength to Bai Qianxue.
Huangfu Xuan glanced at Hua Qiyue, feeling utterly disappointed. He knew Hua Qiyue earlier than Yun Shimo and Bai Qianxue did, but Hua Qiyue was closer, more familiar, and more natural to them.
“Is this the famous Prince Nan Yun Shimo? I’m Bai Qianxue, the City Master of Spirit Heaven City,” Bai Qianxue cupped his fists and said politely. Everything he said had an air of detachment.
“It turns out that you’re Young Master Bai Qianxue. Thank you for taking care of my humble wife some time ago,” Yun Shimo said blandly. Bai Qianxue froze.
“Humble wife?”
That was how a man called his wife in front of outsiders.
Did Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo get married? But didn’t Yun Shimo marry Princess Qianyang?
“Brother Qianxue, we are going to Xuanyuan City now. Will you join us?” Hua Qiyue asked. She befriended the man who was kind to her.
Bai Qianxue nodded. “All right. Well, where is Xuanji?”
He had stayed here so long this time to get news of Xuanji. Unexpectedly, he didn’t see Xuanji when Hua Qiyue and the others came out.
Hua Qiyue shot a glance at Yun Shimo and said, “Brother Xuanji has gone south to Boqi Desert.”
“What?”
Bai Qianxue was shocked. Xuanji actually went to that place?!
The crowd could see that Hua Qiyue did not explain the reason for the fear that Bai Qianxue and Yun Shimo would start a quarrel. After all, they were significant to them, and they couldn’t bear to see the two men of equal strength fighting.
If they did fight, who would be more powerful?
“I’ll tell you the reason later. Brother Qianxue, let’s go together!” Hua Qiyue smiled. Bai Qianxue asked no further, but he knew well there must be a reason for Xuanji to go to Boqi Desert.
They went toward Xuanyuan City. Yun Shimo simply carried Tianci on his back. They used the Mourning Steps and arrived in Xuanyuan City within two hours.
Because their strength had improved, they did not feel tired after arriving in Xuanyuan City. After finding a suitable inn, they decided to rest first and hang out later.
When they left Eight Fingers Mountain, not far away, under the pine tree, stood a woman in pink.
No one could see that woman. She was Princess Qianyang.
Princess Qianyang stole the secret art of stealth from Hongyi and secretly learned it. Little did she expect she could use it at that moment.
Although the level of her Qi Art was not high, she could remain invisible for up to 10 months because there was some purple energy left in her body.
At first, Princess Qianyang lay in one corner of the cave where Yun Shimo lived, and no one could see her.
After a month’s recuperation, she was able to move about. She would drink a few mouthfuls of water in the nearest pool and then crawl to the nearby kitchen to steal some food.
She survived so destructively just to get back at Yun Shimo and Hua Qiyue!
But given her strength, she was far from their match.
That was why Princess Qianyang decided not to show up and to live anyway! After ten months, she felt as if she was about to collapse. It was the first time she had lived so miserably.
Of course, her hatred grew stronger.
Since Princess Qianyang failed to learn the Mourning Steps, she could only walk down the path. When she walked on the official road, she looked ahead coldly and secretly vowed in her heart, “Yun Shimo, Hua Qiyue! One day, I will break you to pieces!”
She waited on the official road, and when several lascivious men approached to accost her, she ignored them. However, a man could not resist the lust, trying to drag her into the carriage.
Nevertheless, she injured him severely with a single blow, which scared other men who had evil intentions about her to stop.
She was about to walk toward Xuanyuan City when the fantastic sound of a flute caught her imagination. She stopped in her tracks.
It was a splendid carriage.
With eight big wheels, the long carriage looked like a small house and was hung with fine gauze outside. The curtains were made of large beads. The moment the carriage swayed, it made soft, clear noises.
And the faint sound of the flute came from inside.
“Miss, do you want to get in?” The sound of the flute stopped, and a faint voice came out.
