90: A geomantic technique covering hundreds of miles! A single strike shatters a hill!
Tushan Ancestral Land.
A Hedgehog Spirit waited outside the Ancestral Land, looking at the two Fox Demons staring at it, and chuckled awkwardly.
“Could you please announce me again? I truly have urgent matters to see the Great King.”
As a former defeated general, the Hedgehog Spirit's attitude was somewhat humble.
All the Demon Cultivators of the Four Regions of Fierce Tooth Mountain were like this, burdened by deadly Restrictions, speaking and acting cautiously, fearing they might incur the New King's displeasure.
Fortunately, during this period, they realized that as long as they kept to themselves, they would be safe, which allowed them to relax slightly.
This time, it had come because it had discovered a major matter that needed to be reported to the Great King.
Yet, it hadn't expected that even meeting him would be difficult.
Just as it was growing extremely anxious.
A deep voice emerged from within the Tushan Ancestral Land.
“What is it?”
The Fox Demon blocking the Hedgehog Spirit quickly turned around, saw Xu Qing walking out of the Ancestral Land, and immediately bowed.
The Hedgehog Spirit immediately knelt down on the ground and said respectfully:
“Greetings, Great King! Your subordinate, Six Liang, Commander of Three Spirits Valley, has an urgent matter to report!”
“Speak.” Xu Qing nodded.
He remembered this Hedgehog Spirit before him; its Cultivation Level was over two thousand years, making it the Demon Cultivator with the deepest Cultivation Level currently in Three Spirits Valley.
The reason the impression was deep was because Six Liang, the Hedgehog Spirit, was particularly experienced in the maintenance of Spiritual Plants.
Having Six Liang manage the Medicine Fields of Three Spirits Valley yielded extremely obvious results; the output of spirit fruit had recently increased greatly, and the number of Spirit Medicine in the Medicine Fields had grown considerably.
He was a Demon Talent with special skills.
At this moment, Six Liang said gravely, “Great King, do you remember the Ghost Cultivator who appeared next to the Bear King that day?”
Xu Qing straightened up and motioned for Six Liang to continue.
“I am naturally extremely sensitive to the perception of Spiritual Qi, and since I guard the Medicine Fields, I pay even more attention to the Spiritual Qi there. But today, while inspecting the growth of the Spirit Medicine, I sensed a trace of Yin Qi!”
Six Liang's expression grew serious, saying, “Spirit Medicine cannot be contaminated by Yin Qi. I followed that wisp of Yin Qi to investigate and found that Yin Qi exists around three of the Medicine Fields!
I felt this matter was significant, so I came to report it to the Great King.”
Just as he finished speaking, a Jade Bottle appeared before Six Liang.
“You did very well. You are rewarded.”
The deep, majestic voice entered his ears.
Six Liang smelled the medicinal fragrance before him. Having dealt with Spirit Medicine constantly, it knew this was a good thing and was immediately overjoyed.
“Thank you for the Great King's reward!”
It knelt and bowed, its voice trembling with excitement.
Xu Qing said gravely, “Get up and follow me to Three Spirits Valley to take a look.”
“As you command!”
...Northeast of Tushan.
Three Spirits Valley.
Xu Qing and Six Liang appeared at the boundary of Three Spirits Valley.
“Great King, this is our Three Spirits Valley!” Six Liang said somewhat proudly.
Xu Qing nodded. This was the first time he had come to investigate since subjugating Three Spirits Valley.
Looking out, rolling hills rose and fell, and valleys nestled between the mounds.
The sunlight poured down, deepening the spring vitality of the jungle, radiating intense life force everywhere.
Xu Qing merely glanced around and saw some spirit fruit and Spirit Medicine within the jungle.
“Great King, walk this way. Our Medicine Fields are all over here.”
Six Liang began leading the way.
A moment later.
Inside a valley, a flat stretch of Medicine Fields, almost filling the entire valley, appeared in Xu Qing's sight.
The surrounding Spiritual Qi was extremely dense, and various medicinal fragrances assailed his senses.
The Medicine Fields were systematically divided into several zones, with Spirit Medicine of different ages planted in different areas.
At this time, many Demon Cultivators were tending to the Medicine Fields.
Noticing the commotion outside the valley, they turned their heads, and upon seeing Xu Qing, they hastily knelt down to bow.
“You may all rise.”
After Xu Qing spoke, light flickered in his golden vertical pupils.
Using his Spiritual Eyes, he observed the surroundings and quickly discovered a wisp of residual Yin Qi on a hill next to the Medicine Fields.
Xu Qing immediately transformed into a streak of azure light and appeared where the Yin Qi was located.
“This kind of Yin Qi... feels somewhat familiar.”
He muttered to himself, information he had previously searched for flashing through his mind, and he formed a rough guess.
Ghost Cultivators from the Purple Canopy Grotto-Heaven in the Demon Spirit Realm!
A cold glint flashed in his golden vertical pupils.
The Lord of the Purple Canopy Grotto-Heaven imprisoned his wife, Bai Ling, for many years, and Bai Ling nearly lost her life!
Xu Qing had already recorded this grievance on Bai Ling's behalf.
Furthermore, since he took the Grotto-Heaven Token of Chi Zhenzi, he had already formed a feud with the Lord of the Purple Canopy Grotto-Heaven, and a battle was inevitable in the future!
“Sooner or later, I will beat you until your Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, unable to even be a ghost!”
Xu Qing thought silently to himself.
Afterward, he directly closed his eyes, leaned slightly forward, lowered his head, and fully unleashed the Earth Hearing Technique!
Instantly.
The sound of the wind, the chirping of insects, the calls of birds, and even the surging sound of Spiritual Qi—all sorts of chaotic noises flooded into Xu Qing's ears.
He concentrated, searching for his target within the noise.
A Cultivation Level of nearly five thousand years meant Xu Qing possessed extremely vast Magical Power.
The range of the Earth Hearing Technique rapidly expanded.
Ten Li, twenty Li, thirty Li... When the range exceeded a hundred Li, a specific sound entered Xu Qing's ears.
“That bastard Gui Jiang deserves death!”
“The Master already warned us that this operation wouldn't be simple, and there must be traces of other Upper Three Ranks involved, but he insisted on causing such a huge commotion!”
“I suspect there's something fishy going on behind that Snake Demon. What do we do now?”
Above the hill.
Xu Qing suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze like lightning, looking toward a distant direction.
“I've found you.”
Before his voice faded, Xu Qing's figure had already vanished.
“Found... found what?”
Six Liang hadn't reacted at all and remained stunned where he stood.
At this very moment.
A hundred Li away from the Medicine Fields.
In a cave hidden within a hill, three Ghost Cultivators, emanating Yin Qi, were gathered together discussing.
“That Snake Demon's strength is too great. If you ask me, we should go back and ask for reinforcements, and then we can naturally kill that Prodigy.”
One Ghost Cultivator spoke.
The other two Ghost Cultivators fell into contemplation, clearly considering this option.
Before they could come up with a conclusion.
A speck of golden light illuminated the rock wall. Immediately afterward, the golden light suddenly erupted, illuminating the entire dark cave!
The three Ghost Cultivators turned their heads in astonishment, their vision filled with a sheet of golden light!
The next moment!
“Boom!”
The entire cave instantly exploded, ferocious Spiritual Power raged, and a destructive aura filled the space.
In almost an instant, the bodies of the three Ghost Cultivators became ragged, and black blood gushed out wildly.
But at this moment, they ignored their physical injuries, staring blankly at the ceiling.
A huge crack appeared above, and brilliant, bright sunlight shone in, illuminating three faces filled with shock and astonishment.
The hill... had been split in half!
Outside the massive fissure, smoke and dust swirled, and faintly visible were a pair of golden eyes staring coldly at them.
Immense terror surged into their hearts.
Although they held a numerical advantage and all had Fifth Rank strength, the first reaction of these three Ghost Cultivators was to flee the area!
...Wait five minutes for the next chapter.
