Shuang Qingqing had, of course, been told by Shen Yuhuan what Bai Fengtian's natal magical treasure's attack technique was.
That was the "Heaven Devouring" technique, a terrifying immortal art that could create spatial cracks around the enemy.
In an instant, Shuang Qingqing knew where she was. Even with the numerous injuries on her body, for a moment, she completely forgot the pain.
In the face of death, no one would not be afraid. No matter how proud Shuang Qingqing's nature was, she could not face death calmly!
In her terror, her divine sense quickly swept towards the surface of the "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix." She wanted to know if the "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix" was about to be completely eroded by the astral winds.
With her cultivation at that time, if her physical body was exposed, she definitely wouldn't be able to last even half a breath.
But as soon as her divine sense flew out of the "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix," Shuang Qingqing let out a muffled groan. A tearing pain that went straight to her soul instantly entered her sea of consciousness.
The divine sense she had released was instantly torn into countless fragments by a force. Before Shuang Qingqing could even scream, she immediately fainted.
"And just like that, I drifted in the Chaotic Flow Space for who knows how many years. It was all because of the 'Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix' that my master refined that I was able to survive. A Golden Core cultivator was able to live on like this."
"In the Chaotic Flow Space, no luck befell me. I did not encounter any cultivators at or above the Nascent Soul realm, so I could not escape."
"But perhaps this was also my luck. If I had encountered a powerful expert with malicious intent, I don't know what would have become of me."
When Shuang Qingqing said this, she glanced at the silent yellow-robed middle-aged man, then her gaze seemed to inadvertently sweep over Li Yan and Zhao Min, and then she continued.
"The 'Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix' was also severely damaged because of this. Just when I felt despair, one day, the 'Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix' was swept into a crevice."
"There, there was not a single trace of astral wind anymore. I guessed that I might have entered some planar barrier."
"So I began to try to break out of that damn place. But in the end, my cultivation was limited, and the whole process was as slow as a turtle's crawl. But it still gave me hope to live on."
"I don't know how many years it took. I just moved forward bit by bit like that. But at a certain moment, the 'Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix' that had been with me for many years was completely damaged."
"And my physical body finally faced the pressure of the two-realm barrier!"
"So to speak of all this, it's really a bit ridiculous. The moment I could get out, my Dao actually dissipated and my body perished. But strangely, a wisp of my remnant soul entered a cave."
When Shuang Qingqing said this, her tone paused again.
Li Yan's heart skipped a beat. Then, as if he had realized something, he stared at the side of Shuang Qingqing's face.
And at this time, a trace of strange light also flashed in Zhao Min's eyes, but she still maintained her usual silence.
"It wasn't until later in that cave that I met little friend Zhang's master. In the end, it was he who brought me out of there."
"After that, it was not until my soul had recovered for the most part that I re-possessed a physical body."
"Unfortunately, because I only had a wisp of a remnant soul left at that time, many things were already incomplete in my memory. I was often in an ambiguous state."
"It was only after my cultivation greatly increased and reached the Mid-stage Nascent Soul that I remembered that I was a cultivator from the Tianling Clan."
"A few years ago, I returned to the clan again in search of my memories. But my memories were lost, but some people in the clan have not forgotten!"
When Shuang Qingqing said this, she gritted her silver teeth.
The yellow-robed middle-aged man was quickly judging the truth of Shuang Qingqing's words in his heart.
'What kind of cave did she enter? That cave is too amazing. She might be lying.'
'But if all of this is true, for her soul to not dissipate for thousands of years, there must be a special power of rules there, most likely the law of time...'
However, the yellow-robed middle-aged man also knew that the other party would not speak of such a mysterious place. To an outsider, Shuang Qingqing's narrative had no problems. But to Li Yan and Zhao Min, they had already heard many problems.
That was that Shuang Qingqing had omitted her affairs on the Desolate Moon Continent!
Although Zhao Min didn't know how Li Yan had formed an immortal fortune with Shuang Qingqing, Shuang Qingqing's narrative clearly lacked the matter of her being an elder of the Wood Flow Sect.
And her own father had never mentioned this matter to her.
And according to Shuang Qingqing, she had directly entered the cave from the Chaotic Flow Space and was later rescued by Wei Zhongran.
'Could it be the Devil's Cliff Crevice?'
Zhao Min knew that her father's longest expedition was to guard the Devil's Cliff Crevice.
This was Zhao Min's speculation. She of course did not know as much as Li Yan.
Li Yan knew Shuang Qingqing well. She had even participated in the first great war of the Demon Realm invasion on the Desolate Moon Continent.
At the same time, from this, another matter could be inferred. The first time the Demon Clan invaded the Desolate Moon Continent was many years after the great war between the two realms on the Verdant Continent.
At this time, both of them knew that Shuang Qingqing was protecting them, not wanting to reveal that they came from the Desolate Moon Continent.
This was also something Li Yan hadn't expected before he came. The matter that Shuang Qingqing wanted to talk about could actually be traced back to the Desolate Moon Continent.
Therefore, there were truths and falsehoods in Shuang Qingqing's words. Li Yan guessed that at least sixty percent of it should be true.
Shuang Qingqing had indeed been swept into the chaotic flow of space back then, but in the end, she had arrived on the Desolate Moon Continent, and her physical body had not been destroyed at that time.
The same words, in the eyes of the yellow-robed middle-aged man, turned into Shuang Qingqing having incredible luck, to be swept back into a mysterious cave on the Verdant Continent.
But that place was definitely extremely dangerous. This made the yellow-robed middle-aged man think of the legends of some unknown secret realms held by the few top-tier sects on the Verdant Continent.
'If she was really swept into a secret realm controlled by a top-tier sect, then I don't need to think about it. It's definitely impossible to enter!'
The yellow-robed middle-aged man was very envious of that mysterious cave. At their level of cultivation, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven to make even an inch of progress in cultivation.
If he could comprehend some power of laws, especially the most mysterious law of time in cultivation, that would undoubtedly be the greatest fortune for him.
'Then the background of these two, Zhang Ming and his companion, is extremely great...'
The yellow-robed middle-aged man also thought of what Shuang Qingqing had said before, that she was not qualified to take the other party as a disciple.
"When I returned to the Tianling Clan, some things slowly came back to me as I investigated, but I could never find the reason for some key things, as if someone was deliberately obstructing me in secret."
"I then found the descendants of the branch lineages that had a good relationship with me in the past. Under threats and inducements, I finally discovered that it was the Second Elder, Bai Yihe, who was playing tricks."
"At the same time, in the years of my return, some of the forces that once belonged to me, their descendants, after discovering my return, were observing in secret."
"It was not until my identity was finally confirmed, but they also discovered that I had lost a lot of my memories. After a few attempts, some people slowly came back to me, and I learned more things."
A killing intent flashed in Shuang Qingqing's eyes.
"That Bai Fengtian, after striking me back then, seeing that I had been swept into the Chaotic Flow Space, with his state at that time, of course he would not dare to enter the space to personally confirm if I was dead."
"Also because of that one strike, his entire strength dropped sharply. The speed and attack power of the small white mice that were scattered to hunt down Shuang Tongguan and the others were greatly reduced."
"Unexpectedly, many people escaped, including Shuang Tongguan and his wife. Although Bai Fengtian once again cast a wide net, there was no more news of Bai Fengtian and those people from then on."
"By the time the Spirit Transformation stage Grand Elder of the Tianling Clan learned of this matter, several days had already passed."
"He was furious. His direct lineage was almost completely wiped out. One can imagine how great the blow was to him."
"He began to search for me and Shuang Tongguan and the others everywhere. Unfortunately, he still couldn't find us by the time he ascended to the Immortal Spirit Realm."
"Actually, he might have already suspected the Bai family's lineage at that time, but without evidence, he couldn't act."
"This Spirit Transformation stage Grand Elder of the Tianling Clan back then guessed that the Bai family's lineage wanted to seize power in the clan, which was why they had acted so ruthlessly. Even without evidence, he could not let others succeed."
"So he left a clone before he ascended and forcibly made his disciple the Grand Elder in the clan."
"It was not until his disciple also advanced to the Spirit Transformation stage in the future that he handed over the power to the most top-tier disciple selected from the Shuang family's collateral branch."
"And so they passed it down from generation to generation. When each Grand Elder was in office, they had to do their best to find the whereabouts of Shuang Tongguan and the others, as well as me."
"This was also the greatest wish of that ancestor who had long since ascended to the Immortal Spirit Realm. Of course, the reason for finding me was definitely not a good thing. It was just to find out who was my accomplice."
"It was not until this generation's Shuang Fengyan, after he reached the Late-stage Nascent Soul, that he knew that he was also about to ascend to the Immortal Spirit Realm."
"In order to give an account to that ancestor up there, he has been searching outside for hundreds of years. It is said that although he found some clues, they were all broken one by one in the end."
"My return this time has disrupted the inherent peace of the Tianling Clan. That Second Elder, Bai Yihe, is a descendant of Bai Fengtian. He obviously also knows some things."
"When I first returned, he was constantly probing me. I initially thought he was just confirming my identity."
"Therefore, I didn't care and let him investigate. In any case, I am definitely from the Tianling Clan."
"But as my memories recovered, I began to remember some things. But I found that some of the people I had asked about had disappeared silently."
"It was not until then that I felt something was wrong. When I wanted to take that girl Bai Rou away from the center of the vortex, it was already too late. Bai Yihe had already controlled Bai Rou while I was away."
"That Bai Rou is only at the Foundation Establishment stage. She can also be considered my disciple."
When Shuang Qingqing said this, she explained to the yellow-robed middle-aged man.
"After that, that Bai Yihe invited me to meet him in half a month for other reasons. Now I already understand his trick."
"In half a month is precisely the time for Shuang Fengyan to return to the Tianling Clan. He must have been secretly planning for a long time, not wanting to give me a chance to explain, and using Shuang Fengyan's hand to get rid of me."
"The most important point here is that I have no evidence to prove my innocence, and even less can I prove the shamelessness of Bai Fengtian back then."
"But for the sake of my master, I must tell everything to Shuang Fengyan. I also hope to be able to safely bring Bai Rou out."
"That's why I used Zhang Ming's favor. My request is also very simple. Those two fellow daoists just need to rescue a junior who knows nothing at all."
"This point is actually not difficult. Shuang Fengyan can soul-search Bai Rou, and then he can confirm that she knows nothing about this matter. The rest of the matters will be handled by me."
Shuang Qingqing finally stated her purpose and then stared quietly at the yellow-robed middle-aged man opposite her.
The yellow-robed middle-aged man, however, gave a wry smile.
"Fellow Daoist Shuang, you are dragging us into the vortex. Actually, you just need to say that you want us to rescue a Foundation Establishment disciple."
Not long after listening to Shuang Qingqing's narrative, he had already sensed that something was wrong. He didn't want to know so much.
But ever since Shuang Qingqing had said the name "Bai Fengtian," he knew it was already too late.
Shuang Qingqing's meaning was very obvious. If she were to accidentally perish, but the number of people who knew about this matter had increased, it was possible that Shuang Fengyan would find his way here and learn everything.
Whether he believed it or not in the end, that was his own business.
When he was halfway through listening to Shuang Qingqing, the yellow-robed middle-aged man guessed that the other party was looking for someone to act. At that time, he had already been considering how to refuse the other party on behalf of those two clans!
