The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 370
Chapter 370 Lord of Primeval Stone City
The impact of the Heavenspan Mountain Battle was tremendous, shaking the entire Eastern Region. Naturally, it would cause everyone to wonder why the people of the Four Great Sacred Grounds would join forces to cause trouble for Li Qing. Could it be that there was something hidden inside?
According to the statement released by the Four Great Sacred Grounds, they suspected that Li Qing was a spy from Diabolism. They wanted to capture him and carefully examine him, but they never thought that Li Qing would be so powerful that he would suffer heavy losses.
Of course, they would not admit that they were plotting against Li Qing’s Primordial Emperor Secret Technique and the treasures on his body.
“This person is too unwise. He has offended the Four Great Sacred Grounds. There will be no place for him in the Eastern Region.” Someone was enjoying calamity.
“I would not hesitate to offend the Four Great Sacred Grounds, and I would not be willing to be censored. Perhaps it really is a spy from Diabolism!” Someone spoke maliciously.
“When did the people of the Four Great Sacred Grounds become so enthusiastic? They sent so many people to join forces to capture a spy from Diabolism? I think there’s something fishy about it.” Someone sneered.
There were many great devils in the world, and there were no four sacred lands that had organized so many people to eliminate them. No one believed that there was no problem with this.
Everyone was discussing. The news spread throughout the Eastern Region. Everyone felt that it was inconceivable. There were all sorts of speculations. Some people said that Li Qing was indeed a spy from Diabolism, while others said that the Four Great Sacred Grounds wanted to plot against Li Qing.
A dozen or so Heaven and Earth Dharma Formation experts were nothing to the Sacred Grounds. However, being provoked by a junior like this would damage the face of the Holy Land. This was the most important thing, and he would definitely not let it go.
A few days later, the Four Great Sacred Grounds announced their pursuit orders at the same time. As long as they were able to capture Li Qing alive or provide traces of Li Qing, they would receive significant rewards.
Among them, the reward for capturing Li Qing alive was actually a spirit artifact!
This news detonated the entire Eastern Region.
Spirit Weapons! Such a precious treasure was enough to drive most of the people in the world crazy.
One had to know that even a Xiantian Tenth Layer expert would not possess a precious weapon like a spirit weapon. Only the descendants of a small number of major powers or lucky enough to obtain certain opportunities would be able to possess spirit artifacts.
Spiritual artifacts made people crazy, causing the world to search for Li Qing’s figure all over the Eastern Region. Such a large-scale operation, I believe that Li Qing will definitely not be able to escape.
No matter how powerful he was, so what? Could he still be an enemy of the entire Eastern Region? That was simply overestimating himself.
Not long after, the first successor of the Mountain River Sect publicly announced that he was going to capture Li Qing alive and seize the reward of the spirit artifact!
The first descendant of the Mountain and River Sect was an expert who had once been on the Earth Rankings. Later on, he was defeated by someone before falling off the Earth Rankings. However, no one could deny this person’s strength.
Ordinary Xiantian Tenth Layer cultivators would probably be defeated in just a few dozen moves in front of him, not to mention Li Qing’s strength, it was hard to say if he had Xiantian Tenth Layer cultivators. This time, Li Qing was doomed.
Another person who had disappeared even more heavily, the number one person on the Earth Rankings, Gongsun Qi, the Divine Sword Killer, actually wanted to personally go down the mountain to capture Li Qing and avenge the death of his fellow disciples from the Sword Sect!
There were rumors that one of the dead was a good friend of Gongsun Qi who was killed by Li Qing.
Hearing this news, the entire world was in an uproar. Gongsun Qi personally took care of Li Qing, so he still had a life? One had to know that the weapon in Gongsun Qi’s hand was one of the Seven God Swords of the Sword Sect.
“This time, Li Qing is hopeless. Gongsun Qi personally took action. The gap between the two is too big.”
“Gongsun Qi and Void Realm experts can fight with a peerless Dao Weapon in his hand. Who is Li Qing?”
The world is rejoicing in calamity.
However, another unexpected thing happened to them. Everyone in the Eastern Region was searching for Li Qing’s tracks. However, not a single person was found. Li Qing seemed to have completely disappeared from the human world.
This was puzzling. With so many people in the Eastern Region searching at the same time, it was useless even if they were hiding deep in the mountains and forests. They would always be seen by others. However, in the end, they were unable to find Li Qing. Even thinking about it, they felt that it was impossible.
However, this was the truth. A whole month had passed and Li Qing seemed to have disappeared from the world. He had completely disappeared and could no longer hear any news from him.
…
At this moment, a restaurant in Primeval Stone City was filled with people. Most of them were discussing what had happened recently.
More than a month had passed, but Li Qing’s matter was still talked about with relish.
“Li Qing suddenly disappeared without a trace. No one could find him. I guess he was hiding in some old forest and didn’t dare to come out.” Someone said.
‘”He’s a little self-aware and doesn’t dare to openly fight against the Four Great Sacred Grounds. However, it’s not a solution for him to keep hiding like this. Could he still be able to hide for a lifetime?”
“I’m not sure. Once the limelight is over, perhaps the matter will calm down. With Li Qing’s strength, can’t he live a carefree life?”
“Previously, there were people in the world who said that Li Qing was comparable to the reincarnation of the Polarity Emperor, and his combat strength was extremely terrifying. Originally, I didn’t believe him, but from the looks of it, he really did have some signs of success. In terms of his early battle achievements alone, he was indeed not inferior.” Someone sighed.
“No matter how strong his combat strength is, so what? Cultivation is the foundation! This person only wants to increase his combat strength and has already gone astray. I predict that Li Qing will never break through to the Void Realm in this lifetime unless he meets Lord Chang Sheng like the Polarity Emperor.” Someone said with disdain.
In the corner of the restaurant, there was a middle-aged man dressed in plain clothes and with an ordinary appearance. He sat quietly and drank some wine, listening with interest to the conversations of the surrounding guests.
“Why do people always compare me to the Polarity Emperor?” The middle-aged man smiled bitterly.
This middle-aged man was Li Qing. He had used the Myriad Demon True Body to change his appearance, and now he looked like a middle-aged man. No one could recognize him.
Even if the entire Eastern Region was searching for him, so what? It’s just a waste of time. Who would have thought that Li Qing possessed such a miraculous method?
This time, Li Qing had come to Primeval Stone City to investigate the secret of the Ancient God’s Blood Crystal. What kind of secrets were hidden in these magical crystals condensed from the blood of ancient gods?
I hope that the people of Primeval Stone City won’t disappoint him.
“I haven’t found Li Qing for a long time. Many people are very anxious. I heard that some people even want to ask the Heavenly Secrets Sect to take action to deduce the Heavenly Secrets and find Li Qing’s location.” Someone said.
“Impossible, right? Li Qing’s strength is so strong. If you want to calculate his position, I’m afraid you have to at least ask Elder Tian Ji to calculate it, right? How much did you have to pay?”
Li Qing’s heart trembled when he heard the words “Heavenly Secrets Sect”. “Damn it, if I really invite the Heavenly Secrets Sect, then my position will be exposed!”
The world of martial artists is very mysterious. There are all sorts of methods, only those that you can’t imagine, and there is nothing that you can’t do.
There was no absolute invincible secret art in this world, and there was always an effective way to restrain it. If Li Qing thought that he could rest assured by relying on the Myriad Devil True Body, then he would definitely be capsized in the sewer.
Using the Ten Thousand Devil True Body to change its appearance was indeed not flawed at all. It could not be seen by the naked eye alone. However, if he used Heavenly Secrets to deduce, he probably wouldn’t be able to hide it.
Under the deduction of the Heavenly Secrets, everything was like watching the fire, pointing straight at its essence, unable to escape at all.
“At most, I change my appearance once a day. Even if I were to be deduced, it would still be the same appearance as the previous day. Could it be that they can deduce it once a day?” Li Qing thought to himself.
Of course, this was also the worst case scenario, because inviting the Heavenly Secrets Sect to deduce his position would require a huge price, and ordinary people would not be able to afford such a price.
…
After sitting in the restaurant for a long time, Li Qing stood up and left the restaurant, heading towards the Yuanshi City Lord’s Mansion.
Primeval Stone City could be considered a very powerful city. There were three or four Elders above the seventh level of the Xiantian Realm alone, let alone a city lord who seemed to be at the tenth level of the Xiantian Realm. Their overall strength could not be underestimated.
Of course, Li Qing didn’t dare to barge in, so he could only sneak in quietly.
The Yuanshi City Lord’s Mansion occupied a large area and was tightly guarded. It was very difficult for ordinary people to sneak in and investigate the news. Even someone as powerful as Li Qing might accidentally trigger some formations and be unable to defend against them.
Therefore, he acted very carefully and didn’t dare to be careless at all. Using the secret technique of the Shadowless Devil, he turned into a translucent phantom and sneaked in silently.
Such a large mansion could only be carefully investigated. Under normal circumstances, it would probably take a long time to find some clues.
However, it was much more convenient for Li Qing to have divine sense.
Divine sense was a miraculous ability that only Void Realm experts could possess. It belonged to a higher level of power!
Using this ability that surpassed the Xiantian realm to investigate Primeval Stone City was simply too convenient. Everything entered his eyes without anyone noticing.
The City Lord’s Mansion was divided into an outer mansion and an inner mansion. He didn’t need to think about it to know that the important person must be living in the inner palace. Li Qing didn’t stay in the outer palace for long and quietly sneaked into the inner palace.
As his divine sense swept past, he discovered that there were two Xiantian seventh layer experts walking towards the depths of the inner palace.
Li Qing followed them quietly.
Along the way, there were many formations, and they were very concealed. If they were a little careless, they might get hit. Fortunately, Li Qing possessed divine sense and was able to evade it dangerously.
After passing through one magnificent building after another and walking for about fifteen minutes, the two Xiantian Seventh Stage experts stopped in a hidden courtyard.
“Let’s go inside and report. The two of us would like to request to see the City Lord.” The two Xiantian Seventh Layer warriors said to the guards at the entrance.
“The City Lord is meeting a guest inside. The two elders will wait for a moment.” The guard said respectfully.
“Eh, someone came in to ask for the City Lord? Who is it?” The elder asked.
“I don’t know either. I only saw this person dressed in black, wearing a mask and hiding his appearance.” The guard said.
Li Qing hid under a stone mountain in the distance and used his divine sense to eavesdrop on their conversation.
“City Lord Primeval Stone lives in this courtyard? How secretive!” Li Qing was a little curious as to why the grand city lord had concealed himself so deeply.
He extended his divine sense into the courtyard and checked the situation inside.
The room was somewhat dark. There were two people sitting inside. They were both Xiantian Tenth Layer experts. One of them was dressed in black and had a hidden face. He should be the guest the guard was talking about.
The other person should be the legendary Primeval Stone City Lord.
Li Qing’s divine sense swept over and saw the appearance of the Yuanshi City Lord. He was so shocked that he almost cried out. Because this person was really… Too ugly!
