Secrets Hidden Within The Bamboo Forest

🎍Chapter Twenty-Nine🎍

      With Liu Qingge, Shen Qingqiu flew over to the Luo River where they could see the Mai Gu Ridge far off in the distance. Shen Qingqiu looked at it, dread filling him.
     Not only was shit going down.
     But he felt like something was terribly wrong and things will go terribly wrong. He held his sword tighter. He hoped things would go well and swiftly with little to no casualties.
     But that's just his wishful thinking. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The area surrounding the Luo River was now crowded with other sects and Great Cultivators. Even those who were rouge and wished to help out-which was fine cause the more hands the better and maybe just hopefully the faster they could get through with all of this.
    For Shen Qingqiu everything went by in hurried blurs up until this point. 
    Some people began to evacuate the normal civilians-Shen Qingqiu wasn't paying attention as he was more or less focused on the Mai Gu Ridge that was steadily growing. He heard voices all around-everything muffled as the dread of what could be in there grew in his heart and soul. 

    "......-Did you have enough to defend the Monastery?" Yue Qingyuan's voice rang in Shen Qingqiu's ears and he was snapped back into reality.

     Shen Qingqiu turned his head to look at the people Yue Qingyuan was speaking to, and it happened to be none other than Wu Wang and Master Wu Chen. Who spoke next wasn't Wu Wang, but rather Master Wu Chen after figuring that maybe Wu Wang lost his words.

    "That's... A rather difficult topic-as you see we weren't saved by our own strength sadly." His lips tightened before speaking again "It was saved by another's strength"

    Shen Qingqiu sighed mentally-who knew how many times this dumbass had to sigh but he turned his head to look at the Mai Gu Ridge once more before Yu Qingyuan had to ask another question.

    "Really now? It couldn't have been the Tian Yi Temple" He said, trying to think on who it might've been.

     Shen Qingqiu planned on walking elsewhere to ensure everyone was ready and prepared and to see if all the normal people who weren't cultivators were out and taken to some place safe when Master Wu Chen spoke up again, saying who saved them.

    "It was Huan Hua Palace" He said.

     Shen Qingqiu froze in his steps. If that were true, then who could've saved them would've been-

    "I wouldn't call it saving you" Said a voice from afar, making everyone present to look at the speaker.

    Walking up was none other than Luo Binghe who came strolling up like he meant business. Standing on his right side made Shen Qingqiu go pale. Meeting eye to eye, Shen Qingqiu locked eyes with Mobei-Jun, the very same demon he took a chunk out of back years ago in the Immortal Alliance Conference. 
    Shen Qingqiu made no move, but it seemed that Mobei-Jun had only narrowed his eyes at him. Standing on the left side of Luo Binghe was none other than Sha Hualing. Shen Qingqiu personally hadn't seen what Luo Binghe's done to the Demon Realm, but at this point in time, he should've been a Demon Lord, Mobei-Jun as his right hand man and what not. 
    Luo Binghe walked up beside Shen Qingqiu, and both shared a nod.

    "Shizun, it's been a while" He said.

    Shen Qingqiu wanted to roll his eyes, but played it off as him wanting to act as if they didn't see each other just last night. Just as he stopped walking to stand beside Shen Qingqiu to speak those words, more than a few or so cultivators put their hands on their handles of their swords.

    "Why have you come?!" Shouted a cultivator.

    Luo Binghe glanced at the cultivator, and who spoke up wasn't Luo Binghe but the woman beside him.
