Chapter 247: Chapter 242: Dare to Kill Someone from Qingxiao Sect! You Must Pay the Price! (Subscription Requested)

Taixu Mountain, Pingyang City.

After the opening of the Dharmakaya Cave Mansion, the number of martial cultivators here had suddenly decreased by more than half.

Therefore, the originally bustling and noisy Pingyang City had also quieted down considerably.

However, Qingyang Inn remained as lively as ever.

On its several hundred tables, there were still many martial cultivators engaging in conversation.

At one of the tables, a few martial artists sat around, discussing recent events in Taixu Mountain.

"The martial cultivators who entered the Dharmakaya Cave Mansion this time really met a terrible fate!"

"Indeed, less than one in ten came out, the rest all perished inside."

"Could it be that there are extremely terrifying killing formations inside the mansion?"

"No, not at all!"

"It’s not that there are killing formations inside, but that a god of slaughter entered!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the originally noisy hall became silent at this moment, clearly listening to the conversation of these martial artists.

The group didn’t mind and continued:

"Master Xuequan from the Qingxiao Sect, above a Half-step Law Body, almost on the verge of proving the Law Body Realm! He entered this cave mansion!"

"Almost nine out of ten who entered this cave mansion, be they from the Human race or the Demon race, were slain by this individual!"

As these words fell, a shocked gasp swept through the inn.

An existence even stronger than a typical Half-step Law Body, if they really intended to make a move, everyone present knew in their hearts that no one could survive.

"Luckily I was quite far away at the time and arrived late, or I might have also perished in that cave mansion."

A martial artist said with a face full of luck.

Then, someone else continued to ask, "Is Master Xuequan doing this to prepare for proving the Dharmakaya?"

Immediately, someone responded, "It’s said that when Master Xuequan exploded with full power, even the firmament turned bloody!"

"Streams of blood spread across heaven and earth, almost like a massacre, reaping lives and drawing blood energy, presumably to accumulate the foundation for proving the way!"

"Only a pity..."

"Pity what?"

"Inside this cave mansion, there was an existence even more powerful than Master Xuequan, who brutally killed Master Xuequan right there!"

"Is that really true?!"

"Master Xuequan was the Qingxiao Sect’s most hopeful existence for proving the Dharmakaya, who would dare kill him?!"

"According to rumors, a Golden Body suddenly appeared and swiftly killed him!"

"A Golden Body? Incense Willpower? Which faction has the audacity to condense such a powerful Golden Body?"

"The exact details are unclear, after all, too few people have come out alive, and it’s difficult to distinguish between true and false amidst the various rumors."

After this statement, the hall fell into a brief silence.

If Master Xuequan of the Qingxiao Sect truly died inside that cave mansion,

it’s likely that for a long time to come, the entire Taixu Mountain would not be at peace.

Given the dominance of the Three Great Immortal Sects, there would probably be a bloody storm across Taixu Mountain!

"It is said that deep within Taixu Mountain, a Spirit Vein has been revived."

Following this, once again a voice arose in the quiet inn.

The atmosphere in the hall instantly heated up again.

"Indeed! Truly so!"

"Such news has been coming out these past days!"

"But whether the Spirit Veins appear or not, it’s all a matter for the Three Great Immortal Sects of Wanxiang Mountain, and it’s not much related to us."

"Not necessarily, Taixu Mountain is located at the center of the Three Mountains Five Lands; perhaps other realms will also get involved, after all, it is a Spirit Vein!"

"For every additional Spirit Vein obtained, it’s almost certain that another Dharmakaya will emerge!"

"Amidst the chaos, we might be able to profit from the opportunity!"

"..."

Instantly, the whole hall burst into a fervent debate about the matter of the Spirit Veins.

And at that moment, in a corner of the hall, sat a young figure in a Gold-Patterned Profound Robe.

He was seen holding a teacup in one hand, with eyes that sparkled with a sharp gleam.

His breakthrough from yesterday had taken place thousands of miles from Pingyang City, so the news had not yet reached here.

However, Qin Zheng found the topics discussed by these martial cultivators quite intriguing.

Spirit Veins...

The half-step Law Bodies of those Demons he encountered had also mentioned this point.

It seemed that deep within Taixu Mountain, Spirit Veins truly are reviving!

He had just broken through and, in the heat of slaying those Half-step Law Bodies of the Great Demons, he had killed too swiftly, forgetting to leave one alive to learn the details of the Spirit Veins.

And for him, proving the Incense Willpower Golden Body was merely a detour.

The most crucial and important thing for him was still to prove the Law Body with his own body!

Spirit Veins are one of the indispensable treasures for the process of proving the Law Body!

Qin Zheng had previously thought of slaying Demons to take their Demon Cores and refine the Spiritual Energy within with the Merit Scroll, providing for his own proof.

But as he progressed in his realm, Qin Zheng realized the demand for Spiritual Energy grew greater!

If he wanted to accumulate enough Spiritual Energy for proving the way with Demon Cores, it would not be easy.

Moreover, now that he had perfected the True Dragon Immortal Body, his physical body was on par with the Law Body Realm, and he no longer needed to hold back!

Therefore, he definitely had to check out this Spirit Vein in Taixu Mountain!

It would be best if he could seize the Spirit Vein and fully prepare for his subsequent proof of the Dharmakaya!

With these thoughts in mind, Qin Zheng got up and walked towards the shopkeeper.

And as he gradually approached, the shopkeeper’s expression grew increasingly panicked, his complexion turning slightly pale.

Martial Cultivators came and went within Pingyang City, one batch after another.

The group of Martial Cultivators sitting in the main hall didn’t recognize this person, but he definitely couldn’t fail to recognize them.

The actions that this person took that day truly shocked everyone present.

Moreover, it was said that afterwards, the old ancestor of Huxiao Mountain chased after this person and killed his way into the Dharmakaya Cave Mansion.

Now this person has emerged, but the old ancestor of Huxiao Mountain has vanished without a trace, and there are even rumors that Huxiao Mountain has been slaughtered clean.

Under such news, he had some speculation in his heart, but he didn’t dare to actually voice it.

Seeing him in such a state, some Martial Cultivators immediately joked, "Master Xu, why such a posture? Did your wife drain you dry last night?"

As soon as these words came out, the nearby Martial Cultivators immediately burst into loud laughter.

Master Xu didn’t bother with these people. At this moment, his gaze was one of awe, nearly sycophantic, as he watched the figure getting closer and closer to him.

"Sir, you..."

The other party stopped in front of him.

With a fawning smile, the shopkeeper was about to speak a few flattering words of compliment.

"Has that old man come here since then?"

At that moment, the other person spoke.

The voice was calm, without joy or anger, causing the shopkeeper to suddenly pause.

"Ah?"

He voiced his confusion in bewilderment, but looking at the face of the person opposite him, he immediately thought of the old man the other person was asking about.

So the shopkeeper hurriedly shook his head and quickly said, "Ever since that day, he hasn’t come back, and it seems he hasn’t appeared in Pingyang City either."

Qin Zheng nodded upon hearing this.

One of the reasons he returned to Pingyang City was to see if he could find that foolish old man.

The old man was once the pride of the human race, unwilling to be oppressed by the demon race, longing to attest to his path; he should not suffer such humiliation.

If possible, Qin Zheng wanted to take him away from Taixu Mountain and bring him back to Great Jin to spend his remaining years in peace.

However, upon arriving here and scanning with his Primordial Spirit, he found no trace of the other person.

Now, asking the inn’s shopkeeper, the response he received was the same as his own guess.

Although that old man’s cultivation was shattered, his physical body still had the foundation of a Half-step Law Body, giving him astonishing speed in his movements.

Without special methods, in the vast and boundless Taixu Mountain range, finding him would be very difficult.

This thought could only be set aside for now.

Thus, Qin Zheng asked his second question.

"Rumors say there is a recovering Spirit Vein deep within Taixu Mountain, do you know which direction it might be in?"

This inn was a gathering place for all sorts, well-informed, perhaps the shopkeeper in front of him would know.

Upon hearing his question, the shopkeeper’s pupils slightly constricted, instantly affirming his speculation.

However, he didn’t say anything more, instead, he took out a piece of paper, wrote an address on it, and handed it to Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng looked down at the piece of paper.

Upon it were several bold characters.

’Fifteen-thousand Li south of Pingyang City’

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Thank you."

The shopkeeper immediately waved his hands in genuine alarm and respect, "You flatter me, sir!"

Qin Zheng smiled gently and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and said to the shopkeeper, "Next time you see that old man, keep him and take good care of him, I will come to take him away."

The shopkeeper immediately nodded in agreement.

Qin Zheng then stepped out and left the inn.

Now that his purpose had been achieved, it was time to go and see the site of the resurging Spirit Vein.

But after Qin Zheng’s figure had left,

The Martial Cultivators in the inn curiously questioned the shopkeeper, speaking cautiously, "Master Xu, who was that just now?"

The Qingyang Inn was backed by a powerful faction presided over by several Half-step Law Bodies, and it was even rumored to have the support of one of the Immortal Sects of Wanxiang Mountain.

Some ordinary Martial Cultivators couldn’t possibly warrant such attention from the other side.

After considering for a moment, the shopkeeper shook his head, indicating it was nothing.

Better to mind his own business than to make trouble.

In the end, he still couldn’t restrain himself and added, "Half-step Law Body."

Only a Half-step Law Body could kill another Half-step Law Body!

Having said that, he turned and left the front of the counter.

The main hall of the inn instantly fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The faces of the Martial Cultivators exchanged glances, shock apparent on their expressions.

...

Fifteen Li outside of Pingyang City.

Above that gully.

At this moment, several cultivators in green robes were standing in the void, overlooking the former location of the spatial channel.

"Senior Brother Li, has Senior Brother Hu truly perished within this cave mansion?"

One of them, with a youthful face, looked towards the leading sinister young man and asked.

"The soul lamp has extinguished, so he has undoubtedly perished."

The sinister young man spoke lightly, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

The death of an old rival naturally made him much more cheerful.

"So, our purpose here is to catch the murderer and avenge Senior Brother Hu?"

The other continued to ask.

The sinister young man nodded and then said with a chilling killing intent, "Although I didn’t like him, he was still a man of our Qingxiao Sect."

"Anyone who dares to kill a person from the Qingxiao Sect, no matter who they are, must pay the price!"
