Chapter 1669: Chapter 1668 Qingye Sanzang Emerges from Retreat

The current state of the Qingye Clan!

Prior to this, Lin Dong had caused bloodshed within the Qingye Clan akin to rivers of blood, and now the entire clan is shrouded in mourning.

White lanterns are hung everywhere, with white obituary banners sticking on the walls.

At this moment, Uesugi Family Head, along with the clan chiefs of both Takeda Clan and Honda Clan, the three big families, all gathered around Lady Xue Ji, appearing extremely panicked.

”Lady Xue Ji, I have just received news that Toyotomi Noake, Oda Eimitsu, Miyamoto Muteki, and Dechuan Shoryu have all died at the hands of Master Lin!”

”Moreover, he is now heading towards the Qingye Clan, evidently having discovered us!”

”Lady Xue Ji, have you managed to contact Lord Qingye Sanzang? Where is he right now? Currently, only he can save us!”

The three were extremely flustered, not at all resembling the demeanor expected of Earth Realm martial artists.

Although Oda Xue Ji was a woman, she appeared more composed than they did.

She spoke in a deep voice, ”I have constantly been using the secret method to communicate with my husband, Qingye Sanzang. But I haven’t been able to reach him!”

”There is only one possibility for this, which is that he is in retreat, has closed off his five senses, and severed all contact with the outside world!”

Hearing this, the three had incredibly pale faces.

Now all their hopes for survival were pinned on Qingye Sanzang.

If Qingye Sanzang could return in time, they believed they would be able to survive.

They might even have the opportunity to witness Qingye Sanzang personally slaughtering that Dragon Country’s Master Lin.

But now, with no contact from Qingye Sanzang, they had no idea of his whereabouts.

They naturally had much faith in Qingye Sanzang’s strength, believing that as long as he arrived, no matter how powerful Master Lin from Dragon Country was, his death was certain.

However, if Qingye Sanzang was to arrive too late and they were already dead, what significance would Master Lin’s death have for them?

They were people long accustomed to high positions, living lives above that of ordinary people, and they all desired to continue living.

Suddenly, at this moment, Oda Xue Ji exclaimed with a surprise, ”I have made contact with my husband!”

Whoooosh!!!

Upon hearing this, the other three were overjoyed.

Oda Xue Ji, as well, hastened to use the secret method to communicate with her husband, Qingye Sanzang!

This secret method, called ’Heart to Heart’, was passed to her by Qingye Sanzang. Like the ’Voice Transmission over Thousands of Miles’, it allows instant contact between the husband and wife.

It enables the instantaneous transmission of words to each other.

However, there is a prerequisite—both persons must be open to their five senses and to outside contacts!

Previously, Qingye Sanzang has been in retreat, thus closing off his five senses and contact with the external world. That’s why Oda Xue Ji had not been able to reach him all this time.

Now that they could make contact, it meant that Qingye Sanzang had concluded his retreat!

Indeed, it was so!

At this very moment, Qingye Sanzang was in the sea area roughly ten thousand miles away from Yinghua Country.

During one of his voyages, he accidentally stumbled upon underwater ruins.

These ruins, located several thousand meters beneath the sea level, were explored by him as he dived into the depths and entered this place of ruins.

He discovered that this site was actually a ’Dragon Lock ground’!

In Ancient Times, a real dragon was confined here. However, the dragon, over the passage of years, had long since turned to dragon bones.

The ’Dragon Lock’ meant to imprison the dragon was corroded with rust, and the structures built to trap the dragon had also turned into ruins.

Upon discovering this place, he was astounded; an examination of the dragon bones revealed that, despite tens of thousands of years, there was still some remnants of dragon qi within them.

Dragon qi, for a martial artist who is a ninth-stage grandmaster, that is a great tonic item.

Equivalent to a thousand times that of spiritual energy!

Absorbing dragon qi here for a day is equivalent to cultivating in the outer world for a thousand days!

He immediately began his retreat in this undersea world.

Absorbing the remnants of dragon qi from those ’dragon bones’.

After roughly half a month of absorption, the spiritual energy in his body had reached a peak, unable to continue absorbing, so he woke up from his retreated state.

Planning to wait for a while, to completely refine the ’dragon qi’ within him before continuing to absorb the remaining dragon qi.

But who would have thought, just after waking from his retreated state, he received a message from his wife, Lady Xue Ji.

”What’s wrong, Xue Ji? You seem distressed, has something serious happened at home?” Qingye Sanzang used the secret method ’Heart to Heart’ to communicate with his wife, Oda Yukihime.

Oda Yukihime, normally such a composed person, couldn’t help but have her eyes redden with tears, as if seeing the sun through the parting clouds, crying tears of joy.

She quickly told her husband, Qingye Sanzang, everything that Lin Dong had done in Yinghua Country during this period.

After listening, Qingye Sanzang’s expression changed drastically.

”You’re saying, that Master Lin from Dragon Country, has come to our Yinghua Country to challenge the entire Yinghua Country Martial Arts World?”

”And that he also invaded our Qingye Clan, causing a bloodbath in our clan?”

”Yes! My lord husband, he found out about my detaining Piao Xue, and barged into our Qingye Clan, killing more than half of our martial artists! He even killed our Qingye Clan’s Guardian Beast Kappa!”

”My youngest brother and the Grand Elder, they all died at his hands!”

”Boom!” Upon hearing that the Guardian Beast Kappa, as well as his youngest brother, were killed by Master Lin, a terrifying momentum erupted instantly from within Qingye Sanzang.

That terrifying momentum caused the sea area to churn violently, as if a tsunami was occurring.

”My lord husband, where are you? Come back quickly. If you’re too late, you might only return to collect my body!”

”That Master Lin is already heading towards our Qingye Clan; he’s coming to kill me!”

Hearing this, Qingye Sanzang quickly responded: ”Xue Ji, wait for me. I am leaving immediately to return!”

”Before I return, you must protect your life. If you really have no other option, submit to him!”

Oda Yukihime said: ”My lord husband, may I beseech our Qingye Clan Shrine’s ancient ancestor to save me?”

Qingye Sanzang shook his head: ”All the Heavenly Realm martial artists around the world have a ’Heavenly Oath’. Martial artists from our own country cannot lay a hand on anyone beneath a ’Martial Alliance War’ challenger from another country!”

”It’s not to ask the ancestor to kill that Master Lin, but can’t he simply stop him?” Oda Yukihime asked again.

”Verbal intervention is permissible, but absolutely no physical confrontation! Once a hand is raised, it would break the ’Heavenly Oath’. Breaking the Heavenly Oath, our Qingye Clan will incur severe sanctions! Even the ancestor would not be able to withstand such a punishment.”

”Verbal intervention should be enough. I don’t believe that Master Lin from Dragon Country would dare to disregard the words of a Heavenly Realm martial artist!” Oda Yukihime said.

Qingye Sanzang nodded, ”Okay. I will contact the ancestor shortly and ask him to protect you!”

”I’ll be back immediately!”

Having said this, he glanced once more at the sea bottom ’Dragon Lock’ ruins, then murmured to himself: ”After I have slain that Master Lin from Dragon Country, I’ll return here to continue absorbing these remnants of dragon qi.”

”These remnants of dragon qi might help me reach the peak realm of a ninth-stage grandmaster!”

After finishing these words, he leapt up, breaking through the water from the sea bottom!

Next, he tread across the sea surface, rushing towards Yinghua Country at high speed.
