Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 265
Chapter 0265 Longevity Valley!
Now that he had obtained three fragments of the Profound Spirit Cauldron, Qin Fei had obtained the loyalty of Demon King and the other Demon Cultivators. It could be said that he had obtained all the benefits.
After chatting with Demon King, Qin Fei prepared to leave the Nether Demon Ridge. Time was of the essence, and he had to rush to the next place.
Qin Fei also had his own ideas on how to arrange the cultivators. He was prepared to split them into pieces and let them go down the mountain, then rush to the next location Qin Fei was heading to.
Longevity Valley!
Before leaving, Qin Fei had a question he was very worried about. After these cultivators left, they would not be able to absorb the profound energy of other cultivators.
In response, Mo Xiao told him not to worry at all. He had already improved his mo skills. The current mo skills were no longer as brutal and violent as before. There was no need to absorb the profound energy of cultivators. Although the cultivation speed had slowed down, the abnormal recovery ability of his body was still preserved and was even stronger than before.
Demon King did the experiment himself. He forcefully tore off one of his arms. Without blinking an eye, the man connected the broken arm to the gap. A ray of light flashed and the broken arm instantly connected. It was as good as before.
Qin Fei was overjoyed. Since the devil technique was no longer a technique that frightened cultivators, he could learn it himself. Thus, along the way, Demon King taught him the improved devil technique.
Duan Ruoyan insisted on following Qin Fei. No matter how much he tried to persuade him, there was no way to persuade him to retreat. It really made him feel helpless.
“Aren’t you going back to manage the Black Tortoise Palace?” Qin Fei was puzzled. No matter what, Duan Ruoyan was the current Palace Master of the Black Tortoise Palace. Why was she so willful?
“It’s fine. I’ve already chosen a good person to manage it. He won’t do any worse than me!” Duan Ruoyan shook her head.
In the end, Qin Fei still had no choice but to let her follow him. Moreover, along the way, Duan Ruoyan also learned demonic arts and was very happy.
A day after Qin Fei left the Nether Demon Ridge, an uninvited guest arrived. His entire body was covered in blood-red armor. He floated in the air above the dilapidated building, and after looking for a while, he quickly left.
“Lord! The Netherworld Demon Ridge has been destroyed. Other than the corpse of the Demon Cultivator, there is no Qin Fei. I think he has escaped!” Qin Wei returned to the capital and reported to Lord Cheng.
“Oh? He actually escaped? Looks like he has a lot of tricks I don’t know!” Lord Cheng raised his eyebrows.
“Lord, there’s something very strange. I found many traces of the attack there. It doesn’t seem to be caused by human beings, it seems to be caused by pure energy!” Qin Wei said.
“Oh? What’s going on? You can go down first!” Lord Cheng waved his hand.
After Qin Wei left, a black figure appeared in the room.
Prince Cheng said, “Go investigate! What exactly caused the destruction of the Nether Demon Ridge? All of Qin Fei’s possessions need to be controlled by this king. There can’t be the slightest bit of omission!”
“Yes!”
The black-clothed man disappeared.
‘”Qin Fei, Qin Fei, this king really underestimated you. There are so many secrets that this king doesn’t know about! However, the stronger you are, the better. When you gather all the fragments of the Profound Spirit Cauldron, this king will be the king of the empire! Godhood is not a problem! You have to work hard …” Lord Cheng smiled proudly.
Longevity Valley.
It was located in the east of the empire, close to the border, separated from the prairie valley.
This was a gorge that stretched for thousands of kilometers. The word “longevity” was taken by the grassland people. They believed in the Longevity Heavens. Folk legends said that the grassland people were all created by the Longevity Heavens. The biggest sect in the grassland was the Longevity Religion, which was the sacred land in the hearts of all the grasslands.
The Longevity Valley, as the border between the Prairie and the Empire, was not peaceful. Every winter, the Prairie and the barbarians would invade the villages and towns on the border of the Empire in order to snatch supplies for them to survive the winter.
It was December. It was the coldest season of the year. The reason Qin Fei chose this time of year to enter Longevity Valley was to reduce the trouble. The grassland people would not come out to plunder in the harsh winter. Instead, they would stay in their tribes quietly.
Outside Longevity Valley, there was the empire’s most elite legion, known as the Storm Legion, to intimidate the grassland people and guard against them at any time.
Three hundred kilometers away from Longevity Valley, there was a county called Longevity Prefecture, with a population of about 200,000. Normally, when there was no chaos, businessmen would come here to trade imperial items for the precious cattle and sheep of the Prairie People in exchange for what they needed.
Merchants would gather resources here and enter the grasslands through various channels to sell what they needed for the winter on the grassland people’s territory.
Of course, ordinary merchants didn’t dare to go to the territory of the grassland people to do business. If someone robbed them, they wouldn’t be able to complain. Only those caravans with powerful forces, many excellent weapons, and powerful guards would dare to go deep into the grassland.
As for whether there were any other reasons for this, no one knew.
After arriving in Longevity County, Qin Fei and the others found an inn to stay in and waited for the other cultivators to arrive before preparing to enter Longevity Valley.
Three days later, all the cultivators arrived. Everyone set out to arrive outside the Longevity Valley.
Entering Longevity Valley, there were naturally people from the Storm Legion guarding the official road. However, there were also people who thought of a way to enter the valley without going through the place guarded by the Legion.
These people were naturally businessmen who did business!
Qin Fei thought of a way to break the cultivators into pieces and join the caravans in batches.
Every caravan that went to the grasslands would openly recruit guards in the county to protect the safety of the caravans on the grasslands. Some caravans with strong financial resources would recruit over a hundred people, and it was even possible for them to recruit hundreds of people.
Qin Fei, Duan Ruoyan, and Demon King pretended to be three martial cultivators and joined a caravan of five hundred people. This caravan did a lot of business. There were more than thirty carriages pulling goods, so it was not surprising that they needed so many guards.
After entering Longevity Valley, how could Qin Fei care about the caravan? He quietly left the caravan and arrived at the place he had agreed to, waiting for the other cultivators to reunite.
About a day later, everyone arrived.
The Longevity Valley was very large, stretching for thousands of kilometers. The canyon was vast, densely forested, and steep. It was a natural barrier that separated the grasslands from the empire.
Finding the Profound Spirit Cauldron in this vast area was not an easy task. Qin Fei scattered everyone and divided them into ten teams. Each team divided the territory they were searching for. Whoever found a place that looked like the Profound Spirit Cauldron would immediately report it.
On the other hand, Qin Fei and the others were alone as a team, searching towards the depths of the valley where the Prairie People were.
With Xuan Ling’er’s senses, she didn’t hesitate to worry about missing something, nor did she have to worry about meeting with the grassland people to erupt into conflict.
However, everyone searched the valley for five days, searching thousands of kilometers, and there was no news of the Profound Spirit Cauldron.
“Ling’er, are you mistaken? There is no Profound Spirit Cauldron in the Longevity Valley!” Qin Fei was puzzled. At this time, everyone had already returned, and they didn’t find any clues.
“How would I know? If not, could I still be able to create it for you? How about this, it’s very likely that they’ve missed out on something. I’ll find out if I go and sense it myself.” Xuan Ling’er said angrily.
Qin Fei thought for a moment. What Xuan Ling’er said was not impossible. The scope was so wide. It was very likely that they had missed out on some places.
Since that was the case, he could only bring Xuan Ling’er to look for it!
Qin Fei didn’t want to waste any time, so he asked Demon King to fly with him.
Since Mo Xiao’s strength had reached the ninth level of the Heavenly realm, his flying speed and endurance were naturally not something that Leng Xiaoran could compare to. He could fly ten thousand kilometers in one breath without resting.
In less than half a day, Longevity Valley was sent flying by him, leaving only one place to search.
It was an incomparably dense forest. The light was dark, and even if the sun shone high above the valley, this place was still incomparably dim.
When she reached the sky above the forest, Xuan Ling’er suddenly shouted, “I sensed the aura of the Profound Spirit Cauldron, but it’s very weak. It doesn’t seem to be emitted from the main body!”
“Who cares if it’s from the main body? We can’t let go of a clue!” Qin Fei didn’t care so much and immediately told Demon King to land at the place where Xuan Ling’er sensed her aura.
He saw a continuous cluster of buildings in front of him. These buildings were very similar to the sign tents of the grassland people, but they were made of giant stones.
“It’s in the largest building.” Xuan Ling’er pointed out the location.
