121: Qin Yang eliminated the three evils.
“Is your cousin a Spiritual Medium?”
Qin Yang pointed at Huang Liang’s phone and asked.
He had heard Huang Liang mention before that his background came from his cousin.
So, she was a Spiritual Medium who could communicate with all Gu.
“That’s right, our whole family relies on her to live,” Huang Liang nodded.
“Cousin, who are you talking to?”
Hearing Qin Yang’s voice, the Spiritual Medium asked over the phone.
“It’s a Liang Zai,” Huang Liang said with a smile into the phone.
“Oh my! It’s not a ‘Diao Mao’, so it must be a very handsome Liang Zai!”
A series of chuckles came from the phone.
The corner of Qin Yang’s mouth twitched.
What a Tian Gu Spiritual Medium.
That accent, it was too authentic.
Did she sound like that even when communicating with all Gu?
That image was too comical... All Gu: Here she comes again, pretty girl~
Spiritual Medium: Yes, oh~
While Qin Yang was lost in thought, Huang Liang had already finished his call.
Qin Yang asked him, “How does your cousin communicate with all Gu? Is it a talent or a skill?”
Huang Liang put away his phone and said, “It should be considered a skill. The Tian Gu Spiritual Medium is actually a Profession, with its power rated at Epic-tier.”
“That’s quite impressive,” Qin Yang nodded.
Huang Liang sighed and said, “She works very hard too.”
Afterward, he explained to Qin Yang.
Those who Awaken the Tian Gu Spiritual Medium Profession are also considered chosen ones, bearing the responsibility of representing the Witchcraft Poison Master and communicating with mountain spirits and all Gu.
Huang Liang’s cousin usually stays deep in the mountains, rarely coming out once a year.
“Wouldn’t that be stifling?” Qin Yang exclaimed.
Let alone deep in the mountains.
He was already getting a bit tired of this heavily guarded village.
There was no singing and dancing, no good wine or food.
Everyone was on edge, guarding against attacks that could come at any time.
This was simply too boring!
“How about…”
“Crippling all the ‘Diao Mao’ who play with Zhen Gu?”
A thought flashed through Qin Yang’s mind.
The village was under martial law because they feared an attack from the Teng Gu Sect.
If he eliminated the Teng Gu Sect, wouldn’t the martial law be lifted?
It felt feasible!
In other places, Qin Yang wouldn’t be so bold.
After all, within a single state, there couldn't be no Monarch Tier Professionals.
Moreover.
The fact that the Teng Gu Sect had survived for so long without being eradicated indicated deep foundations. Even if there wasn't a Monarch Tier Professional overseeing them, they must possess many Hero Rank powerhouses.
But… they were Witchcraft Poison Masters!
Qin Yang only needed two skills to completely suppress them.
Dealing with a Monarch Tier might be difficult.
But if it was a Hero Rank, he still had the ability to contend with them.
Qin Yang’s thoughts raced as he looked at Huang Liang and asked, “What Rank is the strongest person in this Teng Gu Sect?”
Huang Liang recalled for a moment and said, “The strongest person is the Gu King. According to intelligence from five years ago, his Rank was 120. I don’t know if he has Breakthrough to 121 now.”
Hiss.
Qin Yang frowned.
“Rank 120 and Rank 121…”
“One is Hero Rank, one is Monarch Tier.”
“The difference is quite significant; I can’t act rashly.”
“It’s better to first send out the Imperial Guards to scout out their true strength.”
“As long as we capture one ‘Diao Mao’ from the Zhong Faction, we can uncover the Gu King’s whereabouts.”
Qin Yang’s mind worked rapidly.
Seeing Qin Yang’s sharp gaze, Huang Liang immediately realized something.
He asked somewhat nervously, “Young Master Qin, you’re not thinking of causing trouble for the Gu King, are you?”
“My cousin has some insight.”
Qin Yang secretly praised Huang Liang’s perceptiveness.
To be recommended by Lin Xiaoer, he truly wasn't an ordinary person.
Qin Yang nodded and said, “Those ‘Diao Mao’ who play with Zhen Gu not only hinder my progress but also dampen my mood. I won’t be able to sleep if I don’t do something.”
Upon hearing this, Huang Liang took a deep breath and said, “Young Master Qin, you truly are the son of the Sword Immortal of Wine; your personalities are quite similar…”
He then reminded, “However, we don’t even know the Gu King’s specific strength. Isn’t that a bit risky?”
“We don’t necessarily have to deal with him directly,” Qin Yang said, then slightly raised his hand.
From the shadows in the room, three figures immediately emerged. They were the Imperial Guards lurking in the shadows.
Huang Liang’s expression froze, and fear appeared in his eyes.
Isn’t this… the Shadow Guard who killed one of the Three Ghosts of Lizhou before?
There are three such powerful experts!
The Qin Family truly has a vast enterprise!
Qin Yang ignored Huang Liang’s shock and didn’t explain much.
He asked him, “What are the names of the remaining two of the Three Ghosts of Lizhou?”
Huang Liang quickly opened his phone, pulled up his saved files, and said, “Yi Zheng Ya, female, Rank 68 Witchcraft Poison Master; Han Wenbin, male, Rank 70 Witchcraft Poison Master.”
Qin Yang pressed on, “What is the Gu King’s name?”
Huang Liang shook his head and said, “There’s no information on the Gu King.”
Qin Yang nodded slightly and said to the three Imperial Guards, “I’ll give you three days to kill these two and uncover the Gu King’s details.”
“Understood!”
The three Imperial Guards bowed simultaneously and retreated into the shadows.
Seeing this, Huang Liang was dumbfounded.
The bounty for the Three Ghosts of Lizhou had been posted for twenty years.
The people of Lizhou hadn’t accomplished it in twenty years, and you’re only giving three days?
Three days might not even be enough to find them!
Huang Liang advised Qin Yang, “Young Master Qin, since you managed to get Hu Guangming’s head, I certainly don’t doubt your ability. However, taking the initiative might make the Zhong Faction desperate. We don’t have the Mountain Patrol Gu Formation right now, so I’m afraid…”
Qin Yang waved his hand and said, “The best defense is offense. Taking out a few of their high-level fighters will instead serve as a deterrent.”
With that, he patted Huang Liang’s shoulder and said, “Don’t tell anyone else about this for now. Also, don’t claim the bounty for Hu Guangming’s three heads yet, so as not to alert the enemy.”
“Alright.”
Huang Liang nodded heavily, sighing, “Young Master Qin is truly righteous! As soon as he arrived in Lizhou, he’s going to eliminate three scourges for us.”
“With great power comes great responsibility.”
“Little Huang, remember this…”
“We Professionals must keep the safety of the world in our hearts.”
Facing Huang Liang’s emotional words, Qin Yang naturally had to put on a show.
But only he knew the true purpose of his actions.
Perhaps, the Three Ghosts of Lizhou would never realize, even in death.
The reason for their demise was simply that someone wanted to watch Lizhou’s song and dance… “Old Cousin Qin truly has the world in his heart!”
Huang Liang walked out of the stilt house, still marveling.
Qin Yang’s words had just now profoundly moved him!
As expected of the Sword Emperor’s grandson, the Sword Immortal’s son.
What those top powerhouses passed down was not just strength.
It was also… a broad mind!
Clink, clank.
Just then, the sound of silver ornaments colliding came.
Huang Liang looked up.
He saw a graceful woman, her face veiled, slowly walking towards them.
The silver ornaments on her head made a clinking, clanking sound with her movements.
“Cousin, you arrived so quickly!”
Huang Liang’s eyes lit up, and he said with a smile.
The woman looked at Huang Liang, her expression indifferent.
Then, a voice echoed in Huang Liang’s mind.
“Cousin, you should use my title when we’re out!”
It was a Gu Spirit for transmitting sound!
Huang Liang was startled, immediately realizing his mistake, and loudly said, “Huang Liang, greetings to Senior Spiritual Medium.”
The Spiritual Medium in Lizhou was a chosen person, possessing a divine status.
When no one was around, his cousin could joke around with him.
But in the village, she had to appear aloof and unapproachable.
Otherwise, not only her persona but also her divine status would crumble.
His cousin nodded slightly with an indifferent expression, then asked via the Gu Spirit, “Where’s that Liang Zai?”
Huang Liang gestured towards the stilt house with his chin.
A hint of curiosity flashed in his cousin’s eyes, and she transmitted, “After I meet Grandma Zu, I’ll come see how handsome he is~”
