The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 374
Chapter 374 Look For A Stronghold
The power of extinction that came with the Heavenly Saber could wipe out all life force once it was contaminated. Although it wasn’t a poisonous poison, it was even more terrifying than a poisonous poison, and there was practically no cure for it.
Only by cutting off the wounded part would he be able to barely survive. Unfortunately, the wounded part of City Lord Primeval Stone’s chest was on his chest, so there was no way to cut it off here.
‘”Ah–” City Lord Yuan Shi let out a miserable scream, and his chest was quickly covered by the power of extinction, turning into a piece of dead flesh that had no vitality.
“What a sinister method! Suppress it!” City Lord Primeval Stone roared unwillingly. He wanted to use his true essence to suppress this power of extinction. Unfortunately, this was simply impossible. How could the power of the Demon Emperor’s Nine Slashes be resisted by a Xiantian Tenth Stage cultivator?
Moments later, City Lord Primeval Stone was devoured by the power of extinction and fell to the ground. His eyes were wide open, and his entire body turned into a purple corpse without the slightest bit of vitality.
Even a Xiantian tenth layer expert had only lasted for a moment. One could imagine how terrifying the power of this move was!
Seeing that the Yuanshi City Lord had completely died, Li Qing heaved a sigh of relief and put away his Heavenly Saber.
Although it seemed like killing the Yuanshi City Lord was easy, it was actually a very dangerous process. The opponent released all of his Heaven and Earth Dharma Forms. If he didn’t finish the battle quickly, the sounds of battle here would definitely attract the attention of the outside world.
Moreover, there were so many Ancient Gods Clan books here, and if they were not careful, they might be damaged.
Fortunately, things were going smoothly. Relying on the Heavenly Saber’s powerful ability, he successfully killed the Yuanshi City Lord without causing any damage.
Li Qing took off the Primeval Stone City Lord’s spatial ring and examined it carefully. Apart from some spirit stones and treasures, he also found many cultivation technique manuals.
Among them was the Ancient Divine Transformation, which was exactly what Li Qing wanted.
“Ancient Divine Transformation, let me see what kind of miraculous thing this cultivation method is!” Li Qing couldn’t wait to flip through it.
After a long time, he put down the book and sighed, “To be able to create such a miraculous transformation technique, the Great Evil King is indeed worthy of being the number one genius!”
The Ancient God Transformation could be cultivated at the Xiantian realm. It required the blood essence of the Ancient God as a condition. Li Qing had a lot of ancient god blood crystals, so he naturally didn’t need to worry about this.
This time, just obtaining this ancient divine transformation was already worth the trip. Moreover, there were so many books left behind by Ancient Gods Clan, and there were many methods of using ancient divine runes hidden inside.
After carefully flipping through the ancient books for a period of time, he found that these yellowed ancient books were indeed left behind by Ancient Gods Clan. This made him very happy. With a wave of his hand, he put the ancient books into his spatial ring and prepared to slowly read them after leaving.
Afterwards, Li Qing used a fire to burn the corpse of the City Lord of Primeval Stones to ashes. A generation of experts had been burnt to ashes without leaving any traces behind. Even if someone were to find this place, it would be impossible to determine whether or not the City Lord of Primeval Stone had died.
After coming out, he closed the door of the secret passage and left satisfactorily until there were no flaws in it. Very few people would come here. I believe that if the people from the City Lord’s Mansion find out that the City Lord is dead, it will probably take some time.
Relying on his superb Devil Shadow Traceless Secret Technique, coupled with his powerful divine sense, Li Qing smoothly left the City Lord’s Mansion and flew away. No one knew that he had entered before, and he had even done a lot of things.
Since he had already killed City Lord Primeval Stone, there were only the remaining sins of the Evil King Sect left. This person had already left, so it was still a bit difficult to find him.
However, what was certain was that this black-robed man was still hiding in the vicinity of Primeval Stone City and hadn’t left.
There should be an Evil King Sect stronghold in Primeval Stone City. According to the two elders of Primeval Stone City, there were some suspected evil spirits nearby. They should be from the Evil King Sect.
The Evil King Sect wanted to capture tens of thousands of living people. Of course, they had to set up a stronghold to receive these living people and take them away. Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be a place to contact them. It would be very easy for problems to arise.
As long as he found the stronghold of the Evil King Sect, he would definitely be able to find the black-robed man. Li Qing planned to eradicate this stronghold and seek some benefits for the people on this side.
“The remnants of the cult are active outside the city. With the Evil King Cult’s urinary nature, they are usually hidden in a very secret place, but the distance between them is not too far.” Li Qing guessed in his heart, “Near Primeval Stone City, there is a Blue Frost Valley. Its location is very remote. Because the valley is exceptionally cold, very few people usually go there. Perhaps the remnants of the Evil King Sect are hidden there.”
He left Primeval Stone City and headed to the location of Blue Frost Valley. Blue Frost Valley was not far, it was only half an hour’s walk.
The valley was shrouded in a white coldness all year round, making it hard to see what was happening in the valley. Even if a martial artist came to such a cold place, they would still feel uncomfortable. Therefore, most people were unwilling to stay here for long.
Moreover, there were no special treasures here, belonging to the Land of Bitter Frost, so even fewer people came here.
When Li Qing entered the Blue Cold Valley, he immediately felt a cold aura pounding on his face. Fortunately, his strength was tyrannical. This kind of coldness was nothing to him. He could isolate himself with the True Essence Shield.
Along the way, the birds and beasts in the valley were completely extinguished. Everything was silent, and the heavens and earth were completely solemn. Li Qing discovered that there were many traces of humans on the ground. They seemed to have been left behind not long ago. He didn’t know if they were the remnants of the Evil King Sect.
He unleashed his divine sense and began to search the entire valley. Not long after, he discovered that there was a ghost ghost Chong Chong’s figure hiding behind a huge boulder in the distance.
“It looks like this is indeed the hiding place of the Evil King Sect!” Li Qing couldn’t help but smile.
He secretly sneaked behind the black-robed man. This was just a small potato. Its strength was low. Li Qing grabbed him by the neck with one hand and lifted him up.
That person obviously did not expect someone to sneak attack from behind him. His face revealed a look of horror. Just as he wanted to resist, he discovered that the true energy in his entire body was sealed and he did not have the slightest bit of strength.
“Tell me, where is your Evil King Sect’s hiding place?” Li Qing asked in a low voice.
As soon as he said this, he noticed a green color surging on the man’s face. Blood flowed from his orifices, and he died with a tilt of his head.
Li Qing’s expression was very ugly. The Evil King Sect was indeed crazy enough. Without even the slightest hesitation, he took poison and committed suicide. Looks like this poison should be hidden in his mouth. Once caught, he can take poison and commit suicide at any time to avoid revealing the secret.
“Even if you don’t tell me, I have divine sense. It’s just a waste of time to find your hiding place.” Li Qing snorted coldly, “Since there are people from the Evil King Sect here, their hiding place probably won’t be too far away. Let’s search around.”
His divine sense was limited. It was only a few hundred meters away. No matter how far away it was, it would be impossible. There was nothing he could do. He was only at the Xiantian realm now, so it was already considered a miracle that he could possess divine sense. The range of his abilities would definitely not be too large.
Even so, a few hundred meters of divine sense was enough. It didn’t take long for them to find the Evil King Sect’s stronghold, unless the other party could isolate their divine sense with a special formation.
Li Qing became more cautious. After all, the people from the Evil King Sect might be nearby. He unleashed his divine sense and continued to explore. After about half an hour, he finally found clues on a mountain wall.
This mountain wall was obviously dug by someone and then blocked with stones.
Upon discovering this, Li Qing’s spirits lifted and he used his divine sense to probe into the stone. As he had expected, there was indeed a cave hidden inside. It was illuminated with torches and a few guards stood at the entrance of the cave.
“How do I get in?” Li Qing frowned. He didn’t know how strong the other party was. He didn’t dare to barge in. This was no different from courting death.
“Oh, right, I can pretend to be the black-robed man who just died. Isn’t it enough to sneak in?” Li Qing suddenly thought.
He took off the black robe of the person who had just died and put it on himself. His figure changed for a while, and Li Qing became the same person.
“It’s a pity that I haven’t heard this person’s voice. This is a problem. In order to avoid being seen through, I’ll try my best not to make a sound after I enter.” Li Qing thought to himself.
The entrance was blocked. He didn’t know how to enter, so he might need some sort of signal.
Thinking of this, Li Qing simply waited outside. When the people inside the cave opened the cave entrance and took the initiative to walk out, wouldn’t he be able to enter?
It was about dark. Finally, the boulder at the entrance of the cave began to move. Then, it opened a small hole and someone drilled out.
“That’s strange. That guy who’s keeping watch hasn’t returned yet. I’m going to change shifts with him.” The black-robed man muttered.
Li Qing’s spirits lifted and he took the initiative to walk forward. He waved his hand as if he was looking for a greeting.
“Why did you come back so late?” Said the man.
“Something has delayed.” Li Qing’s voice was blurry.
“Eh, your voice today seems a little strange.”
“Yes, it’s too cold outside. It’s cold.” Li Qing said.
“A martial artist can still catch a cold. You’re the only one! Hurry up and go in.” The other party laughed loudly and said without any doubt.
Li Qing drilled into the cave through the entrance. There were a lot of torches stuck in the stone wall, and it was very bright.
“Quickly go in and rest. I need you to go out and watch the wind tomorrow morning.” The guard at the door said.
Li Qing nodded and entered the cave.
He had already used his divine sense to investigate the structure of the cave. The entire cave was connected in all directions, and it was like a maze. He didn’t know if the people of the Evil King Sect had deliberately built it.
He did not go to the place where he was resting, but went straight into the depths of the cave. Along the way, he encountered a few waves of people from the Evil King Sect and did not interrogate him.
Just like this, Li Qing turned left and right in countless caves. Finally, he arrived at the bottom. This was a stone door. There were all sorts of bloody and evil patterns carved on it. It was terrifying and terrifying.
When his divine sense reached inside, the back of the stone door was very wide. When he saw what was happening inside, Li Qing’s heart trembled and his face was filled with unconcealable killing intent, “Damn it!”
