Chapter 997: 979 The old drunkard's intent is not in the wine_1
```
"Regarding this matter, you don't need to know too much," the Blood Dragon Venerable seemed to understand Chu Qin's confusion and replied indifferently, "you just need to remember what I said, I won't let you get hurt, that's all."
"Hmm," Chu Qin became completely calm.
Luo Tianyong and Li Ji, however, were completely unsettled.
"Chu Qin, what kind of spell have you cast on this Garuda Heavenly Venerate? How did he suddenly become... like this..." Li Ji asked incredulously, looking towards Chu Qin.
"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed!" Chu Qin replied with a smile, looking towards Li Ji!
Li Ji pouted, not asking any further.
And very soon, the entire Kaluo Army had been thoroughly slaughtered by Garuda Heavenly Venerate!
Immediately afterward, Garuda Heavenly Venerate teleported back to Chu Qin's side, without any hint of anger, he respectfully said, "My lord, I've offended you earlier, I hope my lord can forgive me."
"Return to Jiu You, come out again, and you'll have no soul left!" Under the guidance of the Blood Dragon Venerable, Chu Qin replied with an indifferent tone.
"Yes!" As soon as Garuda Heavenly Venerate's words fell, he re-entered the black hole and disappeared from the world!
Only after Garuda Heavenly Venerate had left did the sky return to normal, but the thick scent of blood still wafted on the breeze.
"Don't ask too many questions!" At this moment, Chu Qin turned around and directly silenced Luo Tianyong and Li Ji, who had a stomach full of words!
Luo Tianyong and Li Ji, who were just trying to ask questions, were left speechless.
"Tian Yong, Li Ji, you must not speak of this matter to anyone, including my women, got it?" Chu Qin said.
"Understood, Young Master Chu," Luo Tianyong replied tactfully.
"Understood, heavenly secrets must not be revealed, right," Li Ji followed, saying. On the surface, Li Ji seemed displeased, but deep down, she was completely shocked.
Who exactly was Chu Qin, that he could make the progenitor of Kaluo, a powerful figure known from the Primordial Era, obey so readily!
In fact, Chu Qin himself was also somewhat shocked.
But not too much, since Chu Qin had seen too many shocking things; he had become immune to it.
Moreover, even without the Blood Dragon Venerable, Chu Qin also had many ways to not be killed by Garuda Heavenly Venerate, such as his nirvana and rebirth.
"Alright, now that I've proven my strength, Li Ji, it's time for you to think about when you'll tell me the exact location of the World Tree," Chu Qin smiled lightly at Li Ji.
"Hmm... Chu Qin, you're really looking for the World Tree?" Li Ji's Dai Mei eyebrows slightly raised.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Chu Qin smiled lightly.
"Uh, alright!" Li Ji nodded her head.
"But, before we go to Devil's City, there's a place we need to visit," Chu Qin continued.
"Where to?" Li Ji asked.
"Azure Cloud Divine Mountain," Chu Qin replied calmly.
"Earthly Immortal Sect!" Li Ji and Luo Tianyong exclaimed in unison.
"Oh, you know about Azure Cloud Divine Mountain?" Chu Qin said, somewhat surprised. Chu Qin had also learned about Azure Cloud Divine Mountain and the Earthly Immortal Sect through Jiu Yin; he didn't expect Li Ji and Luo Tianyong to also recognize the Azure Cloud Sovereign.
"Of course we do!" Li Ji replied, "Didn't you know, the Azure Cloud Sovereign of Azure Cloud Divine Mountain and the Earthly Immortal Sect are good friends with me and Tian Yong!"
"Good friends?" Chu Qin asked, with a hint of confusion.
"Yes, good friends. How should I put it, the Azure Cloud Sovereign is like our good sister," Li Ji said, "If it weren't for the fact that we couldn't contact Azure Cloud Sovereign this time, we wouldn't need to hide so much!"
"A good sister, a woman!" Chu Qin caught the key point and said, somewhat surprised.
```
"Indeed, Young Master Chu, you may not know, but the Azure Cloud Sovereign is an unparalleled female immortal who emerged from seclusion," Luo Tianyong said with a proud smile.
Chu Qin, suddenly filled with vigorous interest, asked.
"Wait, what do you mean by 'can't contact her'?" Chu Qin asked in confusion.
"The Azure Cloud Divine Mountain has been closed off," Li Ji replied. "It has been closed for many tens of thousands of years, and the whereabouts of the Azure Cloud Sovereign are unknown."
"What? Where did she go!" Chu Qin hurriedly pressed for an answer.
"We don't know," both Li Ji and Luo Tianyong shook their heads. Li Ji continued, "In the past, the Azure Cloud Sovereign used to meet with me and Tian Yong periodically, but after the Karura Heaven issued a kill order against my Starry Sky Domain, she hasn't appeared since."
"Hmm," Luo Tianyong also nodded affirmatively.
"Come with me!" Chu Qin paused before speaking.
Having said that, Chu Qin teleported towards Tianyong Valley.
Luo Tianyong and Li Ji immediately followed closely behind him.
Soon, the trio, including Chu Qin, found Jiu Yin and informed him of the Azure Cloud Sovereign's disappearance.
"That's impossible, the Azure Cloud Sovereign has disappeared?" Jiu Yin was also surprised. "Could it be that her enemies have finally found her?"
"So, you know the Azure Cloud Sovereign too," Li Ji said, looking at Jiu Yin. "I also think it's impossible. The Earthly Immortal Sect's Azure Cloud Sovereign practices Buddhism, demonology, and Daoism. Logically speaking, she has connections in all domains; how could she possibly have enemies?"
Jiu Yin nodded and looked towards Chu Qin, "Chu Qin, what do you think?"
"Let's first visit where the Azure Cloud Divine Mountain is to see the situation," Chu Qin said. "If she's not there, then we'll think of other methods."
"Yes, without the Azure Cloud Sovereign's Six Spirit Jade Pill, entering Devil's City is akin to walking a path to certain death," Jiu Yin agreed with Chu Qin's view. "If I remember correctly, the Azure Cloud Divine Mountain is near Looking North Mountain, right?"
"Yes, it's about one hundred million li from here," Luo Tianyong nodded.
"Well then, Jiu Yin, go call Na'er and Qin Xinzixi. Li Ji, we'll leave immediately for the Azure Cloud Divine Mountain," Chu Qin said.
"Yes, of course!" Jiu Yin responded immediately with pleasure.
"Young Master Chu, I also want to go," Luo Tianyong spoke up.
"You want to go too?" Chu Qin asked with slight confusion. Li Ji, however, revealed a slight smile.
"Yes, now that Karura Heaven has been thoroughly annihilated," Luo Tianyong replied. "With Loyalty Elder here, there's no need for me to stay at Tianyong Valley. Moreover, both Tian Yong City and Starry Sky Domain have suffered greatly because of the World Tree; I also want to see for myself what this World Demon Tree is!"
Li Ji couldn't help but burst into laughter. Obviously, she had seen through Luo Tianyong's specious pretext, the real intention of which had nothing to do with the reasons he gave.
"What are you laughing at, Li Ji!" Luo Tianyong glanced at Li Ji and gave her a covert look, signaling her not to reveal her true thoughts about him in front of Chu Qin.
Li Ji stopped laughing and then said, "Chu Qin, just take Tian Yong with us. With you there, there probably won't be any danger anyway."
"Alright then," Chu Qin nodded. "Tian Yong, you go and talk to Loyalty Elder first. We'll set out tomorrow."
"Thank you, Young Master Chu!" Hearing that Chu Qin postponed the departure for his sake, Luo Tianyong expressed his happiness earnestly.
The next day, after Luo Tianyong had thoroughly given his instructions for the affairs of Tianyong Valley, Chu Qin took him, Li Ji, Jiu Yin, Gu Yuena, and the others on a warship, setting out majestically toward the Azure Cloud Divine Mountain.
Responsible for powering the warship, naturally, were the Scarlet Dragon Lord and the Azure Qilin Dragon.
"Chu Qin, if I'm not mistaken, these must be two Magical Beast Emperors!" Seeing the Scarlet Dragon Lord and Azure Qilin Dragon, Li Ji expressed her surprise.
"Correct, they are indeed Magical Beast Emperors," Chu Qin said with a slight smile.
"Magical Beast Emperors are known to be fierce and untamed; how did you manage to tame them?" Li Ji asked, full of curiosity.
Hearing this, Chu Qin smiled and looked toward Jiu Yin. With the presence of Jiu Yin's trio of Candle Demon Dragons here, even the Scarlet Dragon Lord and Azure Qilin Dragon had to behave.
