The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 256

Chapter 256 Night Tracking
Li Qing defeated Cao Longfei, who was ranked 95th on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings. This news immediately spread throughout Jiangyuan City and even the surrounding area.

As expected, everyone was extremely shocked by this result. This matter was being discussed everywhere in the streets, and from time to time, exclamations of admiration could be heard.

It was simply inconceivable that a True Dragon could appear in such a small pond in Jiangyuan City!

Of course, some geniuses would appear in such a remote and small place, but generally speaking, these geniuses were sent to large sects to learn their skills from a young age, so it was impossible for them to stay in the same place all the time.

Even geniuses would be buried in such a remote place.

Most of the disciples in large sects, even if their talent wasn’t that outstanding, could still reach the peak of their strength with sufficient resources and cultivation techniques.

Talent and external objects were two important conditions for cultivation, and they were indispensable.

Therefore, every genius on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings had a history, and they did not suddenly appear from a mountain corner.

Li Qing, on the other hand, was a weirdo. It was as if he had suddenly appeared. He was like an expert in seclusion. No one knew of his origins.

Many people were inquiring about Li Qing’s origins, wanting to find out his growth history, but they were surprised to discover that none of his previous experiences were known. It was completely blank, as if he had appeared out of thin air.

As for how the people of Su Mansion got Li Qing? Most of the Su Family members were secretive about this and refused to tell them. They only knew that Li Qing had been saved by Miss Su by chance. Apart from Miss Su and Commander Zhang, no one else knew the exact situation.

Some people couldn’t help but guess, “Maybe Li Qing used to be a disciple of a big sect, but he later wandered here. Ordinary people can’t be so powerful!”

“Perhaps he has obtained an inheritance from an ancient great power and cultivated to such a formidable level …”

‘”That’s impossible. Without master’s guidance, even if he obtained the inheritance of a major power, he wouldn’t know how to cultivate. It would be easy for him to embark on a crooked path. Therefore, I dare to conclude that this person must have a history of being a master. It’s just that he refuses to be exposed for some reason.”

It had to be said that their extrapolation ability was indeed extremely powerful. This guess was already close to the truth of the matter. However, no one would have thought that Li Qing was not from the Eastern Region, but from the Southern Region.

…

Just as the news about Li Qing spread like wildfire, a slightly inconspicuous piece of news quietly spread.

City Lord Baifu died in the Fog Forest!

Most people didn’t pay much attention to this news. Perhaps many people didn’t even know who City Lord Baifu was. However, when the news reached the ears of the people in Baifu City, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue.

No wonder City Lord Baifu hadn’t appeared for such a long time. A few days ago, some foreign Xiantian experts were causing trouble and killing a large number of people. City Lord Baifu hadn’t appeared. So he was already dead!

This news spread like wildfire in Baifu City.

The lord of the city was dead, the pillar of strength was gone, and there were no Xiantian experts guarding Baifu City. The people in Baifu City immediately became disheartened, and rumors filled the sky.

Coupled with the incitement of some people, the city began to slowly become chaotic.

The Young Master of Baifu City loudly declared that this was just a rumor. The City Master had only gone out yet to return and did not die.

Unfortunately, not many people believed it.

There was more and more chaos in the city, and the City Lord’s Mansion was unable to suppress the abnormal movements. It was only a matter of time before the city collapsed.

…

More and more martial artists came to the periphery of the Misty Forest, wanting to explore the ruins of the center, but the entire Misty Forest was sealed off by various sects and aristocratic families.

Rogue martial artists were simply unable to enter, and even some martial artists from small and medium-sized clans were similarly rejected from the forest, receiving unfair treatment.

No wonder these great sects wanted to control Jiangyuan City, because the Misty Forest was simply too big, so it would not be easy to seal it off. If it weren’t for the joint efforts of so many sects and aristocratic families, it wouldn’t have been possible.

There was far too little manpower!

Not only was it as simple as sealing off the Misty Forest, they also had to organize people to explore the ruins, and even hunt down the murderer who burned hundreds of Xiantian experts to death!

The murderer had not yet been caught, which made them itch with hatred. As time passed, they almost lost all clues.

They had to employ people everywhere, so they had no choice but to use this method to control the nearby cities for their own use.

Already, a small portion of the cities had submitted to the great sects. Basically, they were forced to surrender their control over the city helplessly.

Jiang Yuan City, on the other hand, repelled the invading enemy and retained its autonomy. This result instantly boosted Jiangyuan City’s prestige.

Jiang Yuan City had already become an overlord-level force in the outer region of the Misty Forest, and its momentum was chasing after Xin An City. Although his overall strength was far greater than that of Bu Xin’an City, his potential was still greater because Jiang Yuan City possessed a heaven-defying genius like Li Qing!

…

Within the Misty Forest, many martial artists were searching for clues.

The power of the masses is formidable. Not long after, someone discovered a pool of blood in a secret place in the Misty Forest!

The characteristics of this thing were too obvious. Very quickly, someone recognized it. This was a blood pool built by the Blood Sea Demon Sect, and it was specifically used to set up the Blood Sea Array.

Since they had discovered the first blood pool, they quickly discovered three more blood pools in the other three directions based on this clue. The matter was already very obvious. This was clearly a Blood Sea Array set up by the Blood Sea Demon Sect!

If the Blood Eagle Altar Master hadn’t died, he would have been very depressed to see this scene. He had destroyed the stone mountain at that time, so he felt that no one would be idle enough to dig up a stone mountain.

I didn’t expect that the blood pool would still be discovered by someone. It seems that the world is unpredictable and there is no absolute thing.

Very quickly, someone dug out another corpse outside the stone mountain. This was a person wearing a blood robe. The corpse had already decayed, and it was difficult to see its original appearance clearly.

Fortunately, this person’s face had already decayed. Otherwise, they would definitely be able to recognize him. This was exactly the same as the bloody-robed man who had burned a large number of experts outside the ruins!

However, he couldn’t recognize it now. His face was rotten, and no matter how powerful his methods were, they couldn’t be restored.

They only knew that this was the Blood Sea Demon Sect’s elite Blood Guard!

With so much evidence in front of them, everyone could imagine that this matter was definitely planned by the Blood Sea Demon Sect!

The Blood Sea Demon Sect unknowingly took the blame for Li Qing!

As more and more clues appeared, many people were able to quickly restore the truth of the matter. It should be that the Blood Sea Demon Sect had set up a Blood Sea Array to open this ruin.

After the Blood Sea Demon Sect’s people successfully entered, they took away the treasures in the ruins and left behind an elite Blood Guard. They sneak attacked many Xiantian experts with the True Sun Fire in their hands!

This statement was accepted by most people, and the truth was revealed by them just like that. Presumably, in the near future, the people of these great powers will spill their anger on the people of the Blood Sea Demon Sect.

After offending so many forces, the Blood Sea Demon Sect’s many strongholds and sub-altars in Jingzhou, Qingzhou, and Anzhou would soon be washed away like a storm.

…

Just as the outside world was still disturbing the ruins, Li Qing disappeared in front of everyone again.

There was news that he was in seclusion again.

He had just come out to do something big, but in the end, he went into seclusion and cultivated bitterly. He had the elegant demeanor of “taking care of his clothes”. Everyone couldn’t help but sigh. Li Qing indeed had such a high level of strength for a reason. No wonder he was so strong when he cultivated so diligently.

However, the people in Su Mansion were already used to it, because Li Qing often did this. He went into seclusion for a very long time and rarely appeared in front of others.

No one would suspect that he was going to do something bad.

As night fell, Li Qing secretly walked out of Jiangyuan City and chased after the people from the Flying Frost Sect and Freedom Sect.

Before those people could go far, Li Qing quickly caught up with them along their tracks. It was already dark, and they had set up camp in a suitable place to build a fire.

Li Qing hid not far away and observed them quietly.

The Flying Frost Sect was within the borders of the Azure Province, while the Freedom Sect was within the borders of the An Province. Each of them was a major power that was located far away from the other. I believe that the two of them would soon separate.

However, if Li Qing wanted to capture them all in one go, he had to make a move before they split up. Tonight was a good opportunity. The moonlight was windy and the night of murder was high. Presumably, they did not expect that someone would kill them so quickly.

Before making a move, Li Qing naturally had to change his appearance and figure to conceal his identity. Very quickly, after some changes, he turned into a white-haired old man.

Generally speaking, the greater the difference in appearance, the less suspicious it was. This old man’s appearance shouldn’t be associated with Li Qing’s body, right?

As he approached, he heard these people conversing.

“This time, I really lost a lot of money! I didn’t expect Jiang Yuan City to have such a powerful person! The mission hasn’t been completed, how can I return to the sect to explain it?” A disciple of the Flying Frost Sect was dejected.

At this moment, Cao Longfei had regained consciousness. A martial artist’s physique was strong, and he also had healing pills. Even if he was seriously injured, he could quickly recover.

He said fiercely, “After returning, I will definitely invite my master to come and destroy Jiangyuan City!”

“But Li Qing is so powerful. If he doesn’t die, what will he do to take revenge on us?” Someone was worried.

Cao Longfei said disdainfully, “My master is a Xiantian 8th layer expert. The moment he makes a move, he will be filled with lightning. How can he have a chance to survive?”

“That’s right! We’ve lost so much face this time, we definitely can’t give up!” The others echoed.

Being defeated by an unknown figure made them feel extremely humiliated, and their eyes were filled with resentment.
