Chapter 69: Secret Tibetan Consciousness Spirit Art!
"Death?"
Qin Zheng chuckled lightly.
With the Great Sun Golden Cicada Technique, his mental strength was enhanced, allowing him to foresee danger in advance and perceive a twenty-meter radius around him.
The Thunderbolt Radiant Arrow, with its formidable power, could blast one of the Three Lords of Mount Imagination, the Golden Cicada Lord.
The Bodhimanda Wisdom Technique now granted him an astonishing ten thousand jin of unmatched strength!
With these three techniques supporting him, death was not an option.
Even if Gao Wusheng's backer, the Quanyang Gao Clan, intervened, Qin Zheng was confident in his survival.
At worst, he could turn his back on the world and retreat into the jianghu.
The Great Jin Dynasty was vast, and the Quanyang Gao Clan couldn't possibly cover the sky with one hand.
Otherwise, why would the Great Jin be ruled by the Wang family instead of the Gao family?
The so-called 'The Wang and Gao families rule the world together' was likely a ploy by those with ulterior motives to manipulate and destroy the Quanyang Gao Clan.
After Qin Zheng slaughtered the Tiger Sovereign in Riverside Village and continued his dominance by killing the Human Clan Grandmaster Li Ye and several Bearfiends, his perception of his own strength became clearer, and his perspective on matters shifted once again.
Of course, there was no need to explain all this to Xu Weisan, who stood before him.
Qin Zheng merely chuckled and turned to return to the Golden Cicada Lord's lair.
There, the human flesh sent by Gao Wusheng awaited.
Qin Zheng's eyes flashed with determination.
Xu Weisan, seeing Qin Zheng's intent, opened his mouth to speak but ultimately remained silent. He stood up and followed Qin Zheng with a sense of relief.
The two men, utilizing their lightfoot techniques, moved swiftly through the mountain forest like shadows.
Soon, they arrived at a cave that resembled a human hell, and dozens of terrified people were dragged out.
"Have you seen these scenes before?" Qin Zheng asked coldly.
Beside him stood Xu Weisan, his face ashen, and Liu Shiyeh, who had regained consciousness and was violently shaking and vomiting.
Qin Zheng had witnessed such scenes before, and now he wanted these two accomplices to witness it as well.
"Ugh!"
Unfortunately, Xu Weisan seemed too terrified to speak, while Liu Shiyeh could only vomit uncontrollably.
Qin Zheng chuckled coldly.
He turned his head, his expression softening as he addressed the rescued people, "Follow me, and I'll take you back."
After speaking, he took a step forward and began walking.
I am Liu Shiyeh, and I... I am grateful for your rescue."
In addition to this cave, there was another one where the Bear Sovereign resided, and there was also a group of people who had been brought up from there.
Although their faces were filled with fear and trembling, they could sense the strong sense of security emanating from Qin Zheng.
One by one, they quickly caught up with Qin Zheng's pace.
Xu Weisan also pulled Liu Shiyeh to follow behind the group.
Qin Zheng wasn't worried about them escaping; his senses constantly monitored a twenty-meter radius around him.
Whether it was a demon beast attacking or Xu Weisan and Liu Shiyeh attempting to flee, he would detect it immediately.
The lairs of the two demons were separated by several dozen li, but with Qin Zheng's lightfoot techniques, it wouldn't take long to traverse the distance.
However, with the weak commoners following behind, their speed naturally slowed down.
These people walked with determination, perhaps driven by their eagerness to leave the demon-infested Mount Imagination.
The group proceeded in silence.
Qin Zheng had consecutively slain the Bear Sovereign and the Golden Cicada Lord, two formidable demons.
This act intimidated the other minor demons in the mountain, preventing them from causing trouble.
As a result, the journey was relatively peaceful, without any unruly demons daring to show themselves.
"Liu Shiyeh," Qin Zheng suddenly spoke.
Behind the group, Liu Shiyeh, who was being carried by Xu Weisan, raised his head.
He was already elderly and hadn't practiced martial arts, and after being smashed to the ground earlier, he had likely broken several bones.
So, Xu Weisan was carrying him as they walked.
Hearing Qin Zheng's voice, Xu Weisan quickened his pace and approached Qin Zheng.
"Young Master Qin, what are your instructions?" Liu Shiyeh asked, a forced smile on his pale face.
"As far as I know, the demons in Qingzhou are suppressed by the Demon-Slaying Commander, so why haven't they been discovered by them?" Qin Zheng asked calmly, as if it were an insignificant matter.
"Have you been hiding these people from them, or have they turned a blind eye to your actions?"
Qin Zheng's gaze remained forward, his tone indifferent as he inquired about this matter.
What he had learned from Situ Qing was completely different from what he had witnessed here.
He wanted to know if the Ren Formation Unit was truly dedicated to slaying demons and protecting the people, or if they were in cahoots with Gao Wusheng, disregarding human lives like a heartless tiger.
Were the demon slayers of the Great Jin Dynasty truly as they seemed?
Liu Shiyeh fell silent for a moment before sighing and responding, "These people are not registered in Black Goose City, so even if something happens to them, no one will notice."
His words implied that the Ren Formation Unit was unaware of these events.
Qin Zheng nodded.
But at that moment, Liu Shiyeh seemed to have an epiphany, becoming more talkative.
"Lord Gao is from the Quanyang Gao Clan, and his father is our Qingzhou governor, Gao Wenhui, the eighth son of the Gao State Governor."
"Born into an aristocratic clan like the Quanyang Gao Clan, one's life is destined to be filled with struggles, both in the light and the shadows."
now, you will witness the consequences of your actions."
"For those with exceptional talent, the world is at their feet, and they gain the favor of the clan leaders. But for those with average or no talent, the situation is entirely different."
"Lord Gao has no talent for martial arts, and his body is like a broken vessel, unable to cultivate martial skills. Under such circumstances, he has naturally been discriminated against by others since childhood."
"It wasn't until he reached adulthood that he realized his lack of talent in martial arts. However, he discovered that his talent in the path of the soul is exceptional."
"But he has already wasted over a decade. If he were to start cultivating from scratch, how could he possibly catch up to the other offspring of the Gao State Governor?"
"That's why he volunteered to come to this remote place, Black Goose City, to capture human souls for accelerated cultivation."
As Lord Qin Zheng listened to Liu Shiyeh's voice, his gaze grew colder.
"Do you think Gao Wusheng is pitiful, and I shouldn't kill him?"
Lord Qin Zheng spoke in a cold tone.
Liu Shiyeh shook his head and then turned to look at Lord Qin Zheng, saying, "I wanted to tell you about Lord Gao's background and..."
"He has been capturing human souls for cultivation for many years, and his progress in the path of the soul has been extraordinary. Who do you think you are to believe you can kill him?!"
"Young Master Qin, your talent in martial arts is extraordinary, and you will surely achieve greatness in the future. Why risk your life for these insignificant ants?"
At this moment, Liu Shiyeh's face turned red, as if he was deeply pained.
However, Lord Qin Zheng merely chuckled and did not respond.
Ants?
Even the people of Qingzhou, a small city on the border of Great Jin, consider commoners as ants?
They are disposable, even tradable as livestock or resources for cultivation? Lord Qin Zheng felt his anger burning like an inferno, growing more intense by the moment.
It seems that what the Toad Sovereign said about Gao Wusheng planning to capture the souls of the entire Black Goose City in seven days might be true.
Sensing the chilling aura emanating from Lord Qin Zheng, Liu Shiyeh opened his mouth to speak but ultimately remained silent.
It was clear that Lord Qin Zheng would not listen, and he was determined to go to Black Goose City to find Gao Wusheng.
Even if Lord Qin Zheng spared Liu Shiyeh this time, Gao Wusheng would not let him off for his failure.
Either way, Liu Shiyeh could not escape death.
As this thought crossed his mind, his face darkened, and his eyes clouded over.
Xu Weisan remained silent, lost in thought.
The group regained its composure.
Lord Qin Zheng gathered the power within his body, and at this moment, his five viscera emitted a faint glow, beginning to vibrate.
Heavenly Essence Qi slowly entered his body, nourishing his physique.
After perfecting the Inner Organ Cultivation Technique, he could cultivate while walking or lying down.
However, if he meditated in a quiet chamber, the efficiency would be even higher.
Some time later, at the entrance of the Bear Sovereign's cave, Lord Qin Zheng pushed open the massive stone door, allowing those hiding inside to come out.
They trembled in fear, especially when they saw Liu Shiyeh, their fear intensifying.
It wasn't until they saw Lord Qin Zheng's figure that they felt relieved.
"Is there anyone else?"
Lord Qin Zheng turned his gaze towards Liu Shiyeh.
The Three Lords of Mount Imagination: the Bear Sovereign, the Toad Sovereign, and the Eagle Sovereign.
The Bear Sovereign and the Toad Sovereign had already perished at Lord Qin Zheng's hands, but the Eagle Sovereign had never shown himself.
Liu Shiyeh shook his head and said, "The Eagle Sovereign's nest is on a cliff, and we can't send people up there."
Lord Qin Zheng nodded.
The inability to send people up didn't mean it wasn't devouring humans.
However, Lord Qin Zheng didn't have any extra time to spare to slay it.
After dealing with Gao Wusheng, he would consider returning to deal with the Eagle Sovereign.
After all, it was a flying demon, unlike the Bear Sovereign and the Toad Sovereign, who were land-based demons, making it more challenging to pursue.
But Lord Qin Zheng had his arrow skill, and by taking it by surprise, he could use his arrows to kill it without much trouble.
So, Lord Qin Zheng had already sent the rescued humans into Black Goose City.
Next, he needed to prepare to go to Black Goose City! Lord Qin Zheng's eyes flashed with determination, and as his thoughts raced, he turned his gaze towards the Bear Sovereign's cave.
Earlier, when he was rescuing people, he hadn't had time to search the wooden houses in the Bear Sovereign's cave.
Those should be Li Ye's dwellings.
Lord Qin Zheng had already found the Thunderbolt Radiant Arrow Technique on Li Ye's body, and he wondered if he could find more martial arts here.
A Grandmaster cultivator should possess more than just one arrow technique.
With this thought, Lord Qin Zheng turned to Xu Weisan and said, "Protect everyone here, and wait for me!"
After speaking, he took a step, and with his lightfoot techniques, he quickly disappeared.
Liu Shiyeh's eyes followed Lord Qin Zheng's movement, and he struggled for a moment before slumping back.
Lord Qin Zheng soon returned to the Bear Sovereign's cave.
Inside, several daring demons were tearing and devouring the Bear Sovereign's flesh.
Upon seeing Lord Qin Zheng's return, they howled in fear, but he swiftly beheaded them, taking their lives.
Lord Qin Zheng didn't linger and quickly searched several rooms.
He found dozens of well-crafted arrows, resolving his current shortage of arrows.
At the same time, he discovered an ancient-looking beast hide.
On the beast hide, there were densely packed writings, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a martial art.
The Secret Tibetan Consciousness Spirit Art!
I'm terrible at naming, so I borrowed the name of a martial art with demonic elements. If you have any suggestions for martial art names, please contribute in the comments below. Let's crowdsource ideas for the book!
