<strong>B8C13: ck city</strong>
At a ce more than 2 million li deep into the Wilderness on the Qian Long continent,
There is a Dragon Rocky lion that is dark red from head to toe, over 100 m long, several tens meters tall and covered entirely in red-rock-like armor. His neck even has 6 thick, sharp spines and his head has a golden horn.
At the moment, the Dragon Rocky lion Qin Yu once met is rushing about in all directions extremely fast with peerless ferocity, causing loud rumblings in the process --
Even high-grade flying sword cannot prate his rocky armor, which is several meters thick. “Roar ~~~” The Dragon Rocky lion roars. His golden single horn is shing nonstop with a frightening light. Flying swords are shattered, miserable cries are heard continuously, heads are sent flying, limbs are severed, flesh fragments are scattered and blood flies up in the air wherever that dark red blur goes.
“Divine beast, it’s a divine beast. Quickly run!”
A Dongxu stage guardian of the Azure Dragon Pce shouts loudly. Now his expression is ferocious, but there is terror in his eyes.
......
In terms of volume, there is a beast even more terrifying than the Dragon Rocky lion -- a Nine-Headed snake, or to be exact, it should be called a Nine-Headed dragon. This Nine-Headed snake is more than 100 m long and the most important thing is that each of his 9 heads is 10-odd m long.
When the 9 heads attack in all directions together, they are even more frighteningly destructive than the Dragon Rocky lion.
Hissing ~~~
The Nine-Headed snake nces coldly at the leader of this over 10,000 strong army of the Azure Dragon Pce, a middle Dongxu stage guardian, with his grim eyes. One of his 10-odd m long necks then turns into a blur and swings at that guardian.
ck ~~
The middle Dongxu stage guardian dies miserably on the spot without being able to resist at all.
The 9 long snake heads then attack in all directions. The tail of the snake is swung horizontally, smashing Xiuyaoists’ bodies wherever it goes. Even a Dongxu stage expert’s flying sword can only leave a white mark on the body of this Nine-Headed snake at most.
......
Meanwhile, several tens thousand other demonic beasts have formed aplete blockade. The over 10,000 Xiuyaoists from the Azure Dragon Pce have been encircled. None of them can escape now because inside they are being massacred by divine beasts while outside they are being surrounded and exterminated by countless demonic beasts.
In only less than one hour, the forces Azure Dragon mustered have been annihted.
......
With a movement of his body, the Nine-Headed snake turns into a 3 m tallnky man. Only this man has 9 snake heads, looking very frightening.
After going through the 6-in-9 Heavenly Tribtion, divine beasts can transform to look like humans, except for their heads, which remain unchanged. This is called ‘half humanization’. Only after oveing the 9-from-9th Heaven Tribtion can they takeplete human forms. This Nine-Headed snake is an extremely formidable divine beast and his power has surpassed the Dongxu stage.
“Lord Xue, the Azure Dragon Pce’s forces have been destroyed.”
Nine-Headed snake stands still and says respectfully.
Ahead of him, there is unexpectedly ... a snow-white cat, a cute snow-white kitten. However this kitten’s eyes are golden. At this moment, the snowy kitten nods and says: “Nine-Headed, remember that whoever dares to intrude even half a centimeter must be killed.”
“Yes, Lord Xue.” Nine-Headed snake answers respectfully, not daring to hesitate in the least.
The snowy kitten nods its head: “Nine-Headed, I have to go report this matter to Overlord. You arrange someone to deal with the corpses a bit.” After saying so, the kitten makes a movement with its body. In an instant, a white, icy gust of wind rises within several tens meters of it and the cat also disappears.
Only after Nine-Headed snake sees the snowy cat disappear does he let out a long breath.
The snowy cat’s power is simply not something he can imagine. And just thinking about the ‘Overlord’ mentioned by the cat terrifies him.
......
Several tens thousand li away from the ce where 10,000 subordinates of Azure Dragon were killed, there is a quiet deep cave which goes into the ground vertically. Nobody knows how deep this cave is.
“Ah ~~~”
Anguished cries keep echoing in the cave until theye out.
The faces of all the members of the 2 groups outside the cave change color greatly. The 2 leaders take out a transmitter each and message the members in charge in the cave. However, they get no replies regardless of how many messages they send.
One message is sent after another, but none of the members who entered the cave answers.
“Men from the Peni Immortal Region listen. This quiet deep cave was found by our Purple me Devilish Dungeon first. If you hadn’t vied with us by sending several thousand men down, why would our Purple me Devilish Dungeon have suffered such huge losses? I’m going to report this to Dungeon King.”
The leader of the group from the Purple me Devilish Dungeon, a ck-robed old man, shouts to the leader of the group from the Peni Immortal Region, a blue-gowned juvenile.
That blue-gowned juvenile says with a coldugh: “You found it first? It should be my man who discovered this secret ce first but your men killed him to silence him. Luckily he had already sent a message, or else we still didn’t know. This time you are to me for my Peni Immortal Region losing several thousand men.”
In just a while, these groups have lost more than a third of their power.
The ck-robed old man and the blue-gowned juvenile both feel that they cannot ount for this so they put the me on each other.
The ck-robed old man says with a coldugh: “Men from your Peni Immortal Region are pretty good at lying. All of you are very hypocritical. I won’t waste time talking to you anymore. I’m going to report this to Dungeon King.” He immediately begins to send another message through the transmitter in his hand.
The blue-gowned juvenile also sends another message.
......
In a residence in a small town of the Qin dynasty near the Wilderness,
The leaders of the 6 powers from the overseas Xiuzhen world are gathering here. Searching for that ck jade case in the Wilderness is the job of their subordinates. All along, these high-ranking leaders have been strolling about the Qian Long continent to relieve boredom or practicing quietly.
However, now all of them are here.
In just a few days, Azure Dragon’s forces of more than 10,000 have been exterminated while the Peni Immortal Region and the Purple me Devilish Dungeon have both lost a third of their men. Such heavy losses never urred during the 10 previous years, so the 6 big leaders have been shocked by them.
There are 6 thrones.
Qin Yu is sitting in one of them. Hou Fei and Hei Yu are standing behind him. The other 5 seats have been taken by Azure Dragon, Old Freak Three-Eyed, Di Long, Reverend Yan Xu and Dungeon King Yi Da. At the moment, the atmosphere in the house is a bit oppressive.
“What happened, Azure Dragon? How did all of your subordinates die with not even one escaping?” Old Freak Three-Eyed is still in disbelief.
Azure Dragon lets out a sigh. There is, however, very little sadness in his eyes. After all, the forces sent to carry out the search this time all lived near the Qian Long continent and the core forces of his Azure Dragon Pce have not been used yet so he does not really mind after these forces were wiped out. However, from now on, he cannot have anybody on the Qian Long continent search for the ck jade case for him.
“Now my forces are all gone so I’ll tell you this piece of info. After going more than 2 million li into the Wilderness, you’ll see a huge ck city with at least several hundred thousand Xiuyaoists inside.” Azure Dragon says positively.
The face of everybody present changes color.
Several hundred thousand Xiuyaoists? Even though any of the 6 powers has more subordinates than this, the Wilderness is not their headquarters. They only have a little more than 10,000 subordinates here.
“The forces inside the ck city are just a portion. The area outside the city is several tens timesrger than the city. This area is full of Xiuyaoists and all of them have at least reached the Jindan stage. Their number even surpasses a million.” Azure Dragon says very solemnly.
Qin Yu and the others all draw a cold breath.
Over a million?
This is perhaps an imaginary number but all of them can see very clearly that the area around that ck city must be part of the city’s real power. Such a power with probably 2 to 3 million subordinates is definitely not weaker than the Azure Dragon Pce.
“Then how did your subordinates die?” Old Freak Three-Eyed asks.
However, in their mind, everybody has figured out that they were most likely annihted by that enormous power.
“That day, a guardian of my Azure Dragon Pce was leading his subordinates searching carefully for traces of that ck jade case. They then arrived in that area. A local little Jindan stage Xiuyaoist unexpectedly told my subordinates that whoever entered this area should be killed.” There is a tinge of annoyance on Azure Dragon’s face.
Who is Azure Dragon? Since when have other people been able to treat him this way?
Moreover, there is even the dragon n behind him so naturally he was not frightened.
“I told my subordinates to only search for the ck jade case and not to hurt anybody for no reason.” Azure Dragon suddenly says with fury: “Who could have thought that soon after they advanced, they would bepletely surrounded by countless Xiuyaoists and even divine beasts would appear at the same time. So, in just a while, my forces were all gone.”
Everybody remains silent for a long time.
“Everybody, do you still remember a strange thing about the Wilderness?” Qin Yu suddenly says.
Reverend Yan Xu and the others all look at him. Qin Yu says smilingly: “Originally, we could see demonic beasts when going 100 li into the Wilderness. But after we started the search, though we encountered demonic beasts in the beginning and lost quite a few troops because of this,ter we didn’t see a single demonic beast. Everybody, do you still remember?”
“Indeed.” Di Long says solemnly with a nod. “We went in 2 million li but we didn’t see a single demonic beast. Now looks like ... that ck city is a certain power. Perhaps it ordered all demonic beasts directly to gather around the city and not to sh with us.”
“Humph.”
Standing behind Reverend Yan Xu, Reverend Huo Tian gives a cold humph. “That city is very powerful. Its Xiuyaoists can already match the Azure Dragon Pce in number. We didn’t send many troops to this ce at all, so why would the power in that city have feared us? Why would it have wanted every demonic beast under it to gather around that city?”
“Fear? Does reluctance to sh with us definitely mean fear? You Xiuxianists’ intelligence is so low.” Yi Da says with a cold smile.
“Yi Da!” Reverend Huo Tian is furious. “Don’t go over the line. This time the Peni Immortal Region’s men discovered that quiet deep cave first, but your men killed them to hide it from us and monopolize it. Humph, you’ve gone overboard.”
Yi Da says nothing. But Jiao Jiu beside himughs out loud: “Huo Tian, you’re still such an arsehole.”
“Where’s Miss Situ?” Qin Yu suddenly asks with a smile.
He is amused thinking about her. That Xun Feng of Su Yan City has unexpectedly been chasing her with sincerity and perseverance. Situ Xue has naturally been annoyed by this, but Qin Yu helped him so she promised not to take his life.
Because of Situ Xue, Xun Feng has been bustling about for the past 10 years, but ...
If he is like a deliberate fallen flower, then she is like a passionless running stream. She feels weird and ufortable because a man pursues her, but she is an early Kongming stage Xiumoist after all, how can she possibly ept a mortal’s feeling for her?
“Situ? She’s in the Wilderness.” Yi Da suddenly bites his lip, causing his blood to ooze out.
Azure Dragon frowns. Those who are familiar with Yi Da all know that, when bites his lip, he has made an important decision. Azure Dragon says smilingly at once: “That quiet deep cave is just a dangerous ce, Yi Da, Reverend Yan Xu. Do you think you should fight over it like this?”
Yi Da suddenly says: “I’ve got something to tell everybody. The 9th jade sword is most likely in that cave. However, this cave is even much more dangerous than the ces where the other 8 swords were kept.”
The 9 jade swords were originally kept in 9 different ces. Every ce is more dangerous than the previous one, and the 9th ce is the most dangerous.
“How can you be sure?” Old Freak Three-Eyed says doubtfully. “Impossible ... you’re plotting something, right?”
Yi Da says with a coldugh: “Three-Eyed, I’ve given you some face by telling you this info, but you even doubt me. Then you should just stay home. Situ Xue personally sent me this info. She discovered that this quiet deep cave had that familiar aura.”
Familiar aura?
Everybody knows what that familiar aura is.
Of course it is the aura of the immortal that left behind the Nine Swords Immortal Mansion, a ce with a lot of treasures. Given Situ Xue’s status, naturally she has seen the Purple me Devilish Dungeon’s ck jade cases. In the past, Yi Da, Situ Xue and Jiao Jiu even joined forces to get rid of the Dust Removing Spells of those cases.
Immediately, everybody no longer has any doubts.
“Tomorrow my Purple me Devilish Dungeon’s men are going to set off for that quiet deep cave. As for whether any of you will go or not, I just don’t care.” The corners of Yi Da’s mouth curve up. A faint smile that is both grim and evil appears on his face.
“Go, of course I’ll go. If I don’t go take a look, I’ll be very disappointed. After all, I’ve put so much effort into this.” Azure Dragon is the first to say. On one side, Old Freak Three-Eyed also says: “Azure Dragon will go so I’ll certainly go. I must obtain this 9th jade sword.”
Reverend Yan Xu says smilingly: “My Peni Immortal Region’s men found this cave first so I’ll surely go.”
“Since you will all go, my Nine Demons Hall will go as well. But ... you must not forget that this cave has already killed several thousand men of the Purple me Devilish Dungeon and the Peni Immortal Region each. It’s definitely not a nice ce.” Di Long folds his arms before his chest and says with a smile.
Qin Yu stands up, turns around and starts to leave.
“Everybody, tomorrow my Ster Tower will go with you. But ... don’t forget that mysterious city. Why did it want all Xiuyaoists to gather around the city?” When he finishes talking, he has already left.
Hou Fei, carrying his ck stick on his shoulder, and Hei Yu follow Qin Yu to also leave.
