Chapter 83: Meeting Ling Qing’er Again
“This fellow…” Xiao Ran did not know whether to laugh or cry.
It had only been a short while, but he had already mastered the Fleeing Cataglyphis Technique to the Perfection level.
He was as slippery as an eel.
Xiao Ran’s spiritual soul energy gushed out and swept outwards in an overpowering flood, suppressing these infected commoners and freezing them all on the spot.
“Are you all right?” Xiao Ran asked with concern.
Little Zhou shrugged proudly. “Tsk! Even if there were twice as many people, they wouldn’t be able to catch me.”
Xiao Ran kicked him in irritation.
“Go and check on them.”
“Okay.” Little Zhou walked over quickly.
He checked them one by one.
Soon, he returned, with a grave expression.
“Brother Xiao, they’re deeply poisoned. Some of them are already so fatally poisoned that they can turn into a pool of blood any moment.”
Then he seemed to recall something.
“What happened in the backyard just now?”
Xiao Ran briefly explained the situation.
“These b*stards from the Heavenly Yin Sect are crazy. For their own selfish desires, they used the civilians of four counties to refine their Demon Lords Mystic Wither. They better not let me meet them, or else I’ll definitely cut them into pieces.” Little Zhou swore furiously.
“Now is not the time to talk about this. Go bring a big bucket of water over,” Xiao Ran instructed.
Little Zhou hurriedly ran off.
He found a tub somewhere, enough for three people to bathe together.
It was filled with clear water and he placed it in front of Xiao Ran.
“What do we do now?” Little Zhou asked curiously.
Xiao Ran took out the antidote pill and soaked it in water for three minutes before putting it away.
The clear water in the bucket had turned milky white.
Waves of fragrant aroma wafted into his nose.
Gulp!
Little Zhou couldn’t help swallowing heavily. “Isn’t this too aromatic?”
He looked at Xiao Ran, then asked,
“Can I have a sip?”
“This is a special antidote pill that can cure all poisons. Since you’ll have to stay here for some time, a sip can help you keep the poisonous gas at bay. It will ensure that you’ll be fine for a short period of time,” Xiao Ran said.
Little Zhou took the water ladle and quickly took a sip. “It’s so sweet.”
The two of them then began taking action.
After feeding the water to the commoners for an hour, there was still a third of it left.
“I’ll stay here. Where are you going?” Little Zhou asked.
“I’m going to the other three county cities to destroy the Demon Lords Mystic Wither there and wreck the Heavenly Yin Sect’s plan,” Xiao Ran said.
“Stay safe! If all else fails, we can ask our Lord for help.”
“Okay.” Xiao Ran nodded his head.
After giving him a few instructions, he left Chen County and rushed to the other three county cities.
Now that Little Zhou was not around,
Xiao Ran activated with full might the Traversing the Heavens in Twelve Steps technique. When the twelve steps landed, his speed increased by twelve times.
The four county cities were not far apart. With his evasion technique, it only took him a few minutes.
He then spent another four hours,
to destroy the Demon Lords Mystic Wither in the other two county cities. Using the same recipe, he utilized the special antidote pill to help the poisoned citizens dispel the poison inside their bodies. He only left when they woke up.
Now,
there was only one county left, Ning County.
By destroying the Demon Lord Mystic Wither in Ning County and saving the civilians from the poisoned zombie states, this mission would be half completed.
All that was left was to go to the Heavenly Yin Sect and capture all the members.
In Ning County,
at the Petite Six Inn,
in the backyard,
a group of people dressed in the uniform of the Heavenly Yin Sect looked at the Multitudinous Poison Tree in front of them. The dense poisonous gas around it condensed into an almost solid substance and converged here from all directions, before merging into the Multitudinous Poison Tree.
Under the nourishment of the poisonous gas, the Multitudinous Poison Tree radiated countless rays of rainbow light.
The poisonous light churned and flowed into the skeleton underground, repeating in an endless cycle.
The aura of ancient evil emanated from the skeleton. It was very powerful, as if some great horror had awakened.
The leader in this group of people was called Xuan Guang, the absolute confidante of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Yin Sect.
His status was very high, even higher than the deputy sect master.
His authority was one step below the supreme one, but above everyone else.
“Very good! In another half a day, the Demon Lord Mystic Wither will be successfully refined. At that time, our Heavenly Yin Sect will dominate Horizon Prefecture,” Xuan Guang said excitedly.
A subordinate rushed in from outside.
He knelt on one knee and reported, “My lord, we just received news that the Demon Lords Mystic Wither of three county cities including Chen County have been destroyed. All the people we stationed there have also been killed.”
“They came so quickly?” Xuan Guang narrowed his eyes.
“Don’t worry about them. The Divine Sword Guards of the Horizon Prefecture must have asked the capital city for reinforcement. The people sent by the capital city must have arrived. Once the Demon Lord Mystic Wither is completely refined here, it will be time for us to settle the score with them.”
“Yes, my Lord!” The subordinate then retreated.
A figure appeared nimbly outside the courtyard wall and overheard everything being said.
“Who’s outside? Show yourself!” Xuan Guang shouted.
He slapped out with his palm, and a palm print hundreds of feet wide ruthlessly smashed into the courtyard wall.
A figure rushed out in a sorry state, but she did not manage to completely evade it and was slightly injured by the powerful palm force.
Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, revealing her true appearance.
Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Ling Qing’er looked at them menacingly.
“How dare you? For your own selfish reasons, you used the commoners of the four counties as nourishment to refine evil corpses. Aren’t you afraid that the Imperial Court will take action and capture all of you?” Ling Qing’er berated.
The crowd gathered around them.
Xuan Guang took a step forward and said disdainfully, “Since we dare to do this, we’re not afraid of the Imperial Court’s revenge! As long as we succeed, so what if the Imperial Court sends experts over? The world is so big. At most, we can change locations.”
“You’re courting death!” Ling Qing’er yelled in fury.
She formed a seal with both her hands and her spiritual soul energy manifested, condensing into a 200-foot-wide hurricane vortex.
“Go to hell, all of you!”
With a clap of her fair hands, the spiritual energy hurricane swept out. It contained countless sharp blades that landed on the surrounding Heavenly Yin Sect disciples and wiped them out.
“You overestimate yourself,” Xuan Guang shouted.
Like a phantom, he appeared in front of her. As she watched in horror, he slammed his palm into her chest. Unable to withstand the massive force of his strike, she flew back, blood spraying from her mouth like a shot of arrow. She fell to the ground, in a lifeless heap.
“Take her down,” Xuan Guang ordered.
Two Heavenly Yin Sect disciples were about to rush over and tie Ling Qing’er up,
when a terrifying pressure descended from the heavens and forcefully pressed down them.
They didn’t even last a breath before exploding in a shower of blood.
With a flash of golden light, Xiao Ran appeared in front of Ling Qing’er. He looked at the unconscious body and thought, “That’s odd. Why is she here?”
Apart from them, the Spiritual Divinity Bureau had also taken on this mission?
He picked her up off the ground and held her in one arm.
It had to be said that Ling Qing’er had a pretty good figure. As expected from a spiritual master, the areas that should be ample were really very ample.
Looking at Xuan Guang and the others, his gaze fell on the Multitudinous Poison Tree.
He instantly understood that Demon Lord Mystic Wither here was on the verge of being successfully refined.
“Go!” Xiao Ran launched his attack.
Multiple shots of Apotropaic Divine Lightning rushed out of his palm and transformed into a huge lightning net that blasted towards the Multitudinous Poison Tree.
“Did you ask for my permission?” Xuan Guang’s face hardened.
With one step, he reappeared in front of the Multitudinous Poison Tree. Demonic might surged and rolled, and a huge aura erupted. His 5 fingers transformed into fists and they punched out violently.
As fast as they came, they were repelled backward.
His body slammed into the wall like a bolt of lightning. The demonic aura on his body was completely decimated.
The lightning net dropped on the Multitudinous Poison Tree and blasted the ground wide open. Including the skeleton underneath, everything was utterly demolished.
“Run!” Xuan Guang’s expression changed drastically.
He got to his feet and fled in one direction without once looking back.
