239: Each with his own hidden agenda, the ruthless Long Jue
According to the map coordinates, Gu Qing arrived above a vast continent, looking down to see an endless expanse, teeming with immortal beasts and vibrant life.
And there were even human cities, with cultivators flying everywhere.
“Strange, the Soul Crossing Sea Starfield is the territory of the Heavenly Ghost Clan, so how can there be a continent so full of life and rich in immortal qi?”
He hadn't learned this information; he had simply followed the map coordinates.
But he did know that the Heavenly Ghost Clan dwelled in darkness, were inherently cruel, enjoyed slaughter, and devoured the essence of living beings.
He wondered if he had come to the wrong place, perhaps unknowingly leaving the Soul Crossing Sea Starfield?
“You haven’t come to the wrong place!”
Zhi Meng glanced at the map coordinates and explained, “This is a hunting ground specially left by the Heavenly Ghost Clan. The immortal ying flower is on this continent.”
The immortal ying flower requires a special environment to grow.
It needs to absorb rich immortal qi, as well as the essence of flesh and blood and soul power to mature.
This continent just happens to meet the growth conditions for the immortal ying flower.
“Next, do not use the Calamity Black Dragon. This continent is called the Soul Crossing Continent, and it is inhabited by countless cultivators who came to the Soul Crossing Sea Starfield to seek treasures.”
“Good heavens, living in the Heavenly Ghost Clan’s territory?” Gu Qing asked in surprise.
“Yes, there are no time current intrusions here, so you don't need to pay an entrance fee. There are endless amounts of immortal qi, immortal spiritual medicine, immortal crystal mines, and so on.”
“Those cultivators on the flying boat earlier, their true purpose was to enter the Soul Crossing Continent to seek treasures, both to improve their cultivation and accumulate wealth, and to search for the immortal ying flower.”
Zhi Meng smiled and stroked her good disciple’s cheek, teasing, “My disciple wouldn’t think they came in just to find the immortal ying flower and die, would he?”
“How could I? By the way, should we enter the city?”
“No need, we’ll go directly to the secret realm; it’s marked on the map.”
Zhi Meng didn't expose her disciple's stubbornness and led him straight to the secret realm.
The entrance to the secret realm was guarded by several Divine Fire Realm cultivators who were blocking the way and robbing people. To enter, one had to pay a hundred million immortal crystals.
Before they could speak, Zhi Meng raised her hand and slapped them to death.
She had already found out that there were no Profound Gods stationed on the entire Soul Crossing Continent, so there was nothing to worry about.
In this world, she was the only one who robbed others. These few people dared to rob her; they were simply asking for trouble.
Although she had just broken through to the Heavenly God Realm, the Heavenly God Realm and the Divine Fire Realm were completely different levels, allowing for absolute instant kills.
What’s more, Zhi Meng had used time marrow to enter a thousand-year enlightenment, her Dao laws were incredibly stable, and she had Xuan Huang Mother Qi as a foundation.
She was now even stronger than a seasoned Heavenly God Realm triple-layered cultivator.
Gu Qing collected the storage rings of these people, scanned them, and was slightly surprised, finding several tens of billions of immortal crystals.
Roadside robbery truly was a good business.
“Hiss~”
“Who is she? She even dares to kill the Soul Crossing King’s people.”
“I don’t know.”
“Hey, wait for me.”
...Entering the secret realm was like entering another vast world, and the immortal qi was even purer and richer than outside.
“A continent hiding an even vaster continent; truly there is always a higher heaven.”
Gu Qing’s divine sense swept across, broadening his horizons.
The two continued without stopping, shrinking the ground into inches. Any Heavenly Ghost Clan members who tried to ambush them along the way were killed by Gu Qing’s sword.
Some cultivator teams, whether asking for directions or trying to rob them, were instantly killed by a sword as soon as they appeared, before they could even speak.
The two were like sparks and lightning, slaughtering all the way.
Anyway, these people clearly had no background, so killing them was no big deal. Gu Qing was too lazy to discern their intentions.
Soon, following the map coordinates, they found the entrance to a naturally concealed array. After entering, it was another new world, and the map coordinates only went this far.
The two stopped, not daring to wander further, because what appeared to be a world was actually a natural killing array.
Gu Qing activated his Dao Pupil to scan. In the void, killing array patterns were spread everywhere, capable of annihilating all Divine Fire Realm cultivators and severely wounding Heavenly God Realm cultivators.
And once the entire killing array was triggered, one would be drawn into a killing entrapment array, where even Heavenly God Realm cultivators would perish.
The entire killing array was full of dangers, making it impossible to move an inch; a slight misstep would lead to death and the dissipation of one's Dao.
“Do I need to contact Long Jue and have him take us to find the immortal ying flower?”
Zhi Meng’s expression was solemn.
Although she wasn’t proficient in arrays, she wasn’t blind; some killing array patterns were clearly visible in mid-air.
Not to mention the hidden killing array patterns.
Zhi Meng thought of Long Jue.
Long Jue had an immortal array master with him, and a large group of followers. Being with him would definitely be much safer.
Once Long Jue found the immortal ying flower, she would simply snatch it and run.
The Morning Glow Evening Sea was so vast; she didn’t believe Long Jue could find them.
Thinking this, Zhi Meng’s divine sense swept around, growing more alarmed the more she looked.
This killing array was too terrifying; it could definitely annihilate Heavenly God Realm cultivators.
Long Jue deliberately gave her only the map without telling her that this was such a terrifying killing array, his purpose was already clear.
Although she had been tricked, Zhi Meng had nothing to say.
During their transaction, both knew that the immortal ying flower would not be easy to obtain.
Zhi Meng wasn't foolish enough to think she could trade an Immortal Source Pill for an immortal ying flower.
“No need, this natural killing array won’t stump me.”
Gu Qing withdrew his gaze and sighed, “This Long Jue is truly cunning. He took an Immortal Source Pill from us and only gave us the map up to this point.”
Long Jue must have been certain that he and Zhi Meng wouldn't dare to brave this natural killing array.
Once they arrived here, they would definitely seek his protection.
At that time, with the immortal pill in hand, he could also use the opportunity to probe their backgrounds, or even suppress them directly with force.
It was truly killing many birds with one stone.
It seems one really can’t underestimate these prodigies; a moment of carelessness and one could be outmaneuvered.
“But Long Jue meeting me, that’s his bad luck.”
“If Long Jue hadn’t been scheming and told us the entrance to the grand array, we wouldn’t have found it at all.”
Gu Qing had a cheat, the so-called natural killing array and hidden array patterns were all laid bare under his Dao Pupil’s gaze.
“Master, don’t move randomly.”
Gu Qing took his master’s soft, warm hand and leisurely strolled through the void, avoiding all array patterns.
Divine light flowed in his eyes as he observed his surroundings.
When he saw a Divine Fire Realm Heavenly Ghost Clan member, he directly let the Calamity Black Dragon swallow them to check their memories.
These Heavenly Ghost Clan members guarding this grand array might know where the immortal ying flower was.
Sure enough, after the Calamity Black Dragon devoured more than a dozen Heavenly Ghost Clan members, one of them had once guarded the immortal ying flower.
A faint blush secretly crept up Zhi Meng’s earlobe, her expression unnatural.
The warmth from Gu Qing’s hand holding hers brought a strange feeling to her heart.
The two were like immortal companions, strolling through the void, radiant and dazzling, like deities descending to the mortal world, transcendent and untainted by a speck of dust.
On the other side, Long Jue stood with his hands behind his back, watching with an indifferent expression as the immortal array master led a group of disciples to break the array and open a safe passage.
“Your Highness, according to Master Gu’s calculations, if all goes well, it will take at least three more years to reach the location of the immortal ying flower.”
A young man knelt on one knee and reported.
“Three years, then. Good.”
Long Jue was overjoyed.
To obtain the immortal ying flower in three years was truly great news.
The subordinate hesitated and said, “According to Liao Hong’s report, the array master brought by Shi Jingqiong is breaking the array faster than us. Your subordinate is worried…”
Liao Hong was the person Long Jue sent to track Shi Jingqiong.
According to the news he sent back, Shi Jingqiong might find the immortal ying flower before them.
Upon hearing this, Long Jue’s face instantly turned ashen.
He had paid countless prices to find the immortal ying flower, and absolutely no mistakes were allowed.
After a moment of thought, Long Jue’s eyes revealed a chilling killing intent, and he said coldly, “Have Liao Hong trigger the killing array. Anyone who dares to snatch the immortal ying flower from this King, this King will make sure that little b*tch dies without a complete corpse.”
Although he had longed for Shi Jingqiong for a long time, her plump and luscious body made him sleepless and burning with desire whenever he thought of it.
But no matter how good a woman was, she was not even one ten-thousandth as important as the immortal ying flower.
Moreover, with cultivation and power, what woman couldn't he have?
Shi Jingqiong was so uncooperative, repeatedly refusing his goodwill, stubbornly refusing to explore the secret realm and break the array with him.
Since there was no chance to obtain her, then he would destroy Shi Jingqiong.
“Yes!”
The subordinate’s heart trembled, and he was utterly convinced by Long Jue.
He had thought that Long Jue would be reluctant to harm Shi Jingqiong.
After all, Long Jue had been too much of a simp before, giving Shi Jingqiong many treasures and showing her great concern.
This secret realm was even told to Shi Jingqiong by Long Jue.
Who knew, the Seventh Prince was still the Seventh Prince. Once fundamental interests were involved, he immediately revealed his true nature, ruthless and heartless.
“Then… does Fairy Zhi Meng need someone to look for her?”
The subordinate continued to ask.
Hearing this, a gentle smile appeared on Long Jue’s ruthless face, as if he were a refined and elegant young master.
“No need, she will come to find this King herself.”
Zhi Meng was so eager to obtain divine items to improve her cultivation that she would definitely deliver herself to him.
It was important to know that the immortal ying flower contained the essence of the Great Dao, which could transform one’s body and even awaken Great Dao laws.
Zhi Meng could not possibly give up such a supreme treasure.
As soon as Zhi Meng entered this natural killing array, she would definitely be terrified by it and have no choice but to seek his protection.
At that time… thinking of the joyous prospect, Long Jue’s smile grew even brighter.
