Chapter 608: Chapter 208: Secret News_2

Yet they left behind some information, instructing later generations to follow the bet and align with Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

The two brothers, with their immeasurably strong power, suppressed all demons and monsters, and established the strongest Heavenly Court of that time, the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court.

Although the Phoenix, Kylin, and Dragon Clan had declined, there were still many powerful beings, such as the later born Yinglong.

Apart from them, there were also some primordial demonic beasts of Beast Emperor level: Huntun, Taotie, Taowu, Qiongqi

Demon Lord level: Yinglong, Baize, Jiuying, Guiche, Luwu, Kuiniu, Bifang, Jiufeng, Nine-tailed Fox, Zhuyan

Clan Leader level: Nine-headed Lion, Three-headed Flood Dragon, Gu Eagle, White Tiger, Winged Snake, Shang Sheep, Golden Toad, Mountain Spider, Zheng, Hou, Si.

Besides these, it is said that the Nine Sons of the Dragon, the transformation of Ancestral Dragon’s bloodline, were all among them!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou gasped, "Si is only considered Clan Leader level? He hasn’t seen the rest, so he can’t comment, but Si he has seen—that’s the green ox the Supreme Elder Lord rides on now! However, Qin Shou also understood that the current Si was not the Si of that time; following the Supreme Elder Lord day and night, listening to the Dao sutra, its strength must have changed dramatically. If it were taken back to that era, it would definitely be a terrifying Demon Lord. Yet to become the mount of the Supreme Elder Lord, to be chosen by him, its aptitude must be extremely powerful. And yet, such a being was merely a minor Clan Leader in that era.

There’s also that Nine-headed Lion, which appeared in ’Journey to the West,’ known as the Nine Spirit Saint. When Sun Wukong passed through the Lion Camel Ridge, the Nine-headed Lion captured him as easily as catching a mosquito, casually playing with him... Later, Emperor Qinghua of the East took it as his mount. As you can see, not one of these creatures is to be underestimated!"

Zhongshan Daoist said, "It was an era when gods stood side by side, when stars shone brightly, and the whole land under Heaven submitted to the powerful Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court. That was the real unification, where no one dared to speak ill of the Heavenly Court..."

Qin Shou exclaimed in amazement, "What about now?"

Zhongshan Daoist said, "Back then was the glory; even at its best, today’s Heavenly Court is not one ten-thousandth of what it was."

Qin Shou smacked his lips, to be honest, he was a bit yearning for that era now.

At this time, Li Zhenying said, "From what you say, even the Clan Leader-level Mountain Spider is already so terrifying. How could such a powerful Heavenly Court be destroyed?"

Zhongshan Daoist shook his head, "That’s unclear, and even what I’ve just mentioned is only something seen from the scrolls found in an ancient relic. Honestly, I’m not a person who likes to fight; my hobby is to wander around scenic spots every day. Wherever there’s an ancient relic, I go for the excitement. Once others have taken most of the stuff, I’d go in for a turn, just to have a look. Ah... Who would have thought this simple hobby could get me into such a big pit."

Just then, Qingfeng finished tending to Mingyue’s wounds and said, "I’ve heard Master talk about some things."

Curious, Qin Shou asked, "What did he say?"

Qingfeng said, "What this Daoist friend has said is not entirely correct. It wasn’t truly a complete unification back then. At least one tribe was in direct opposition to the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court from beginning to end, and they fought countless times without a clear victor."

Qin Shou was astonished, "Who?"

Qingfeng said, "The Witch Clan!"

Qin Shou scratched his head, "They didn’t both end up fighting to a standstill, all dying off, did they?"

Qingfeng shook his head, "It’s unclear, but it’s said that they fought frequently. Later, the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court collapsed, and the Witch Clan disappeared as well. No one knows exactly what happened. Some say they all died, some say they all fell into slumber... and some say although they indeed died, they might still be alive."

Qin Shou smacked his lips again, his mind drifting to the words of the tomb-guarding old man who had said that Leiqiu was a dead person.

A dead person revived?

Looking again at the Mountain Spider, Qin Shou had an unsettling premonition—could it be that those beings really came back to life?

Just then, Kui San shouted, "It looks like they brought something over."

Qin Shou and the others quickly looked up to see the Mountain Spider and the man in red armor approaching. The man in red armor held a piece of golden fragment in his hands, and it was unclear what the fragment was, but the two of them looked at it as if on a pilgrimage.

At that moment, the Mountain Spider spoke, "This formation is not bad. If we had come alone, we wouldn’t have been able to break through it. But now, it is nothing more than a piece of scrap paper!"

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng immediately took offense, pointing at the Mountain Spider and saying, "Anyone can brag, but you guys are blowing it especially loud today! This Sky Array is set up by my master, and though it appears close, it is paradoxically unreachable. There are very few in the world who can break through it, and you lot certainly aren’t among them!"

Listening to this, Qin Shou’s slight worry eased, and he crept closer to ask stealthily, "Is that true?"

Qingfeng nodded.

Qin Shou broke into a broad smile, stepped forward, and beckoned to the Mountain Spider and the man in the red armor, saying, "Come on over here!"

The Mountain Spider sneered, and the man in red armor waved his hand, causing the golden fragment in his hand to instantly vanish!

The very next moment, to everyone’s shock, a streak of golden light soared through the skies around the Wuzhuang Temple. Everywhere it passed, the void shattered, revealing the original scenery outside the Wuzhuang Temple!

"How is this possible?" Qingfeng said, truly startled.

Mingyue said, "What on earth is that golden fragment? How can it break through the Sky Array?"

The man in the red armor proudly said, "All great formations under heaven come from the Hetu Luoshu. By tracing back to the source, there is no formation that cannot be broken!"

The Mountain Spider said, "Although this fragment can’t break every formation under heaven, this particular one, it can."

Hearing these words, the expressions on the faces of Qingfeng and Mingyue were extremely ugly.

Qin Shou said, "Qingfeng, Mingyue, didn’t your master take in a few more disciples?"

Qingfeng said, "Master has a total of forty-eight disciples, but alas, he took forty-six with him to the North Sea. Now, only the two of us are left... What to do now is indeed a problem."

Mingyue said, "Brother, these guys might have come for the spiritual root of heaven and earth, the Ginseng Fruit Tree."

Qingfeng nodded along.

Qin Shou said, "Nonsense, besides the Ginseng Fruit Tree, what else here is valuable? Although the Ginseng Fruit Tree is valuable, aren’t the Ginseng Fruits themselves the real treasure? From my perspective, you’ve been marked by thieves."

Qingfeng and Mingyue wore expressions of helplessness.

Qin Shou asked, "Is it possible to notify your master to come back now?"

Qingfeng replied, "We’ve tried, but the surroundings are sealed off, and we can’t get any message out."

Qin Shou said calmly, "Then stop worrying about it. I, however, do have a method to deal with them. At the very least, it will send them away empty-handed!"

Qingfeng asked, "What method?"

Qin Shou beckoned everyone over and said, "Can you hold them off for a while? At least, prevent them from seeing the Ginseng Fruit Tree."

Everyone looked at one another...

It was the Zhongshan Daoist who spoke first: "Don’t joke around, the difference in our strength is too great. We would be killed in a direct confrontation; how could we possibly hold them off?"

Qingfeng said, "It’s not impossible, the Sky Array can still hold up for a while longer. Using the Sky Array, we can delay them for some time. Rabbit, what exactly is your plan?"

Qin Shou whispered something into the ears of Qingfeng and Mingyue. Their eyes bulged as they said in unison, "That won’t work!"

Qin Shou helplessly said, "Well, there’s nothing to discuss then... The only option left is to dig up the Ginseng Fruit Tree and give it to them in exchange for a way out. How about that?"

"No way!" Qingfeng and Mingyue rejected the idea again.

Qin Shou spread his hands and said, "This won’t do, that won’t do, then I’m out of ideas. You’ll have to figure something out yourselves... But let me remind you, in at most another hour, that golden fragment will completely shred the Sky Array. By then, whether it works or not, it won’t be up to you to decide."

Having said that, Qin Shou laid down leisurely to one side, seemingly not worried in the least about the danger after the array breaks.

In fact, Qin Shou was extremely anxious inside; his adversaries didn’t blink an eye when killing, and he was indeed afraid that they would simply annihilate them all in passing.
