Chapter 271: One Person Destroys a Palace
Qin Ziling rode a clouded leopard horse and headed towards the provincial capital along the Wuyang Mountains.
When passing through the county seat of Qinghe County, Qin Ziling made a special visit to the Cui Mansion.
Cui Shanhe is now a genuine quasi-grandmaster and has begun to refine his internal organs.
Old Master Cui Baiming's health has not only not deteriorated in recent years, but has become even healthier.
These two pillars of the Cui family are in excellent condition, especially Cui Shanhe, who became a quasi-grand master before the age of 40. He is known as one of the people .
As a result, the Cui family jumped from being the last of the four major families in Qinghe County to becoming a prominent family that surpassed the other two and was only slightly inferior to the Dong family.
The mastermind behind all this is naturally Qin Ziling.
First it was the flesh and blood of the Hua Chi, then the blood of the one-horned Qing Kui Python, and then last year when Qin Ziling captured the Feijin Beast, he also specially gave some of its flesh and blood to the Cui family.
Any of these three things is a nourishing substance that even a master would envy. Especially the last two, even a master would have to risk his life to get them.
Cui Shanhe is already extremely talented and has a solid foundation. He is a leader of the younger generation. With the nourishment of the flesh and blood of these three kinds of exotic beasts, how could he not make rapid progress?
"Xiao Qing's talent is even better than Shanhe's, and he is ten years younger. He will definitely become a master in the future. It's just that he started later than Shanhe and spent more time refining bones, so he hasn't started refining organs yet. But it should be one or two years. The practice of refining organs really needs to be planned early.
Wuzhou is one of the four great states of the Great Qi Kingdom. It is a holy place for martial arts, gathering the most martial arts sects and families in the Great Qi Kingdom. There are many martial arts masters. Many martial arts techniques in the Great Qi Kingdom were spread from Wuzhou. It is even said that the Cui family's giant mountain power also originated from Wuzhou.
Although my great grandfather is a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining and a big shot in Qinghe County, he is only a second-rate martial artist in Wuzhou. Therefore, if you want to inquire about the Qinglong Xuanmu Gong's internal organs refining realm, it is best to go to Wuzhou. However, Wuzhou is a long way away. Starting from Xiyunzhou, you have to pass through seven states, so it is inevitable to travel hard. "Cui Baiming said.
"Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. This time I was planning to see the outside world. As long as I can find the Qinglong Xuanmu Gong method to refine the internal organs, I am not afraid of the long journey." Qin Ziling said.
"Shanhe is now serving as the county magistrate of Qinghe County. He cannot leave his public office. Otherwise, since he has received so many favors from you, he should accompany you on the trip so that you will have someone to run errands for you." Cui Baiming said.
"Grandpa, I can't bear the consequences of your words." Qin Ziling was shocked when he heard this and said quickly.
"What's there to be unworthy of? Outsiders may not know, but Grandfather and Shanhe don't know clearly? Without you, not to mention Shanhe wouldn't have achieved what it has today, even the Cui family would have declined to such an extent.
Besides, if what my great grandfather predicted is correct, you should at least have the strength to defeat a junior master. Shanhe is doing you a favor by running errands! " Cui Baiming retorted.
"Grandpa, I'm here just to say goodbye to you. Also, let me tell you a secret. My teacher Jian Bailou is already a master. If something really happens to the Cui family, you can ask for help from the Jinjian Sect when I'm not around." Qin Ziling quickly changed the subject upon seeing this.
"What!" Cui Baiming and Cui Shanhe were both shocked and horrified when they heard this. Then, they seemed to have thought of something and looked at Qin Ziling with awe.
They are all smart people, how could they not guess that Jian Bailou's breakthrough must be related to Qin Ziling!
"Don't worry, if anything happens in Fangliao County and Jinjian Sect, the Cui family will definitely do its best." Soon, Cui Baiming and Cui Shanhe said solemnly.
"Then grandpa, cousin, I won't stay any longer. I'll come back to visit you another day." Qin Ziling nodded, then stood up and bowed.
…
After leaving Qinghe County, Qin Ziling followed the official road through several counties and prefectures, and soon entered Hengling Prefecture, which was adjacent to Xiyun Prefecture.
Hengling Prefecture is similar to Xiyun Prefecture, both are lower-middle-class prefectures.
But the situation in Hengling Prefecture seemed to be even worse than that in Xiyun Prefecture. Along the way, the land was devastated, fertile fields were abandoned, and there was chaos and bandits everywhere.
Qin Ziling was riding a clouded leopard horse, and it was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with. Not many bandits dared to target him along the way.
However, Qin Ziling's original intention of traveling was to gain experience and adventure, and he was not in a hurry to travel. Therefore, if he encountered injustice on the road, or saw bandits causing trouble, Qin Ziling would take the initiative to find the bandits.
Then, depending on the extent of their evil deeds, if it is minor, they will be given a lesson; if it is serious, their cultivation will be destroyed or they will be killed directly.
Because he was always chivalrous and nosy, he helped Qin Ziling find several branch bases of the evil cult.
Qin Ziling is now very skilled, and with the resources cultivated by Dark Sky and Zombies, he has to target the Demon Cult. Now that he knows the Demon Cult's branch stronghold, he will naturally not let it go.
Every time he found out about the location of the Demon Cult's branch temples, Qin Ziling would not show up himself, but would hide in the distance, using his spiritual power to control the Phantom Gourd to spread the Phantom Miasma, and then An Tian and Si Shou would take action.
After several times, Qin Ziling not only prepared a lot of blood food for the four heads, but An Tian also devoured a lot of ghosts. After being refined by his "Immortal Star" method, his strength was getting closer and closer to that of a master.
On this day, a scarred man riding a clouded leopard horse stood on a wilderness trail, looking at a mountain shrouded in black fog in the distance.
The black fog rolled in, and the mountains were looming in the fog, like ferocious demons and beasts hiding in the darkness, making people afraid to approach.
"The branch of the Netherworld Cult in Henglingzhou must have a master-level figure in charge, and there must be a mountain-guarding formation, so there must be some risks. But now Sishou, Yuan Da and Yuan Er are all golden corpses, and they consume a huge amount of Yin Sha Qi every day. We have to prepare more Yin Sha Qi in advance !
Moreover, if they want to continue to break through quickly and become mid-level golden corpses, the blood of the grandmaster who practices the netherworld profound skills is definitely the best supplement. And if An Tian wants to break through, he also needs to continue to refine high-quality ghosts.
It seems that this risk is worth taking, not only for myself, but also for the people! Well, it is to enforce justice and eliminate harm for the people, so that it appears noble!" The scarred man touched his chin from time to time, his eyes flashed with interest, and then the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up with a smug smile.
Then, a cloud of mist emerged from the scarred man's waist, wrapped him and his clouded leopard horse up, and flew into the sky.
The man with the scar is naturally Qin Ziling.
Two days ago, he killed a Netherworld messenger who was in the middle stage of True Yuan by chance, and used the method of soul torture to find out the address of the Netherworld branch hall, which led to today's trip.
Now, his soul has reached the late stage of distraction, and he has also glimpsed a bit of the mysteries of yin and yang, life and death. Even a great Qi-refining master in the middle stage of true essence would find it difficult to withstand his constant interpretation of the cycle of life and death and his torture of the soul.
The mist drifted towards the foggy mountain in the dark night, and then descended like a dark curtain.
"Youwu Miasma, I wonder which Taoist brother is here to visit?"
"Ah, Golden Corpse! You are from the Corpse Demon Sect!"
"The Blood Soul Refining Banner! No, how could this evil ghost be so powerful!"
"Three golden corpses! Who are you?"
“…”
Soon, screams were heard from the foggy mountain peaks, followed by sounds of fighting, and soon, everything returned to calm.
After a while, a cloud of mist drifted away from the mountain.
The mountain peaks were still shrouded in black fog and were extremely quiet in the dark night.
On a wilderness path far away from the mountain, mist descended, then shrank towards the center and disappeared in the blink of an eye, revealing a clouded leopard horse and a scarred man.
"Gee!" Qin Ziling shook the reins and shouted softly. In the dark night, the clouded leopard horse galloped into the night like a black lightning and disappeared into the distance in a blink of an eye.
Spring morning.
The morning sun slowly rose from the east side of the mountain, and its golden light shone obliquely on a cave on a steep cliff deep in the mountains.
Green vines hung outside the cave entrance, and sunlight shone through the vines into the cave in patches.
"As the saying goes, a horse cannot grow fat without night grass! If we hadn't destroyed the Netherworld Cult's Henglingzhou branch's lair last night, how could An Tian have broken through to the Grandmaster level so quickly? How could the four heads' cultivation levels have improved so much in just half a night? Even Ying Bao's potential to evolve into a golden corpse is constantly increasing with this kind of supplementation in the acquired world."
Inside the cave, Qin Ziling was circling around Dark Sky, who seemed to be made of black gold, with a look of joy on his face.
"However, the Demon Cult is powerful, and playing with fire often will inevitably lead to the danger of getting burned. It is enough to destroy the nest of a branch of the Netherworld Cult in Hengling Prefecture, and then we should lay low for a while. When we arrive in Cangqing Prefecture, we will see if we can find other branches of the Demon Cult such as the Blood Demon Cult. We cannot just target the Netherworld Cult." Soon the joy on Qin Ziling's face turned into thought.
Last night, he entered the Netherworld Sect's branch hall under the cover of mist and miasma, with a mask of the Netherworld Messenger on his face. While the other party thought he was a fellow disciple of the sect, he suddenly released three golden corpses and Dark Sky, and he also swung his sword with all his strength to kill them.
After just two encounters, the leader of the Netherworld Sect's branch was killed by him.
There was no other way. Over the past six months, Qin Ziling had been practicing diligently and taking supplements day and night. His martial arts prowess was much stronger than when he was killing the Feijin Beast half a year ago.
The three golden corpses, An Tian and Qin Ziling's full-strength bursts, plus the interference of their souls, the power erupted in this instant was comparable to five or six masters working together to attack and kill the hall master, and their coordination was seamless.
How could the master of the Netherworld Sect's branch hall resist?
He was killed before he even had time to sacrifice the Blood Ghost Banner.
The remaining people in the branch hall were quickly caught up and killed one by one by the three golden corpses, one high-level silver corpse, and An Tian and others under the lock of Qin Ziling's separated souls. No one escaped.
