Chapter 1523 - The Banished Ancient Qin Yuans

Chapter 1523 The Banished Ancient Qin Yuans

The mutated bees in the air stopped flapping their wings, and the buzzing noises gradually stopped. The entire place became much quieter in just an instant.

It was much brighter in Fragrant Valley compared to the Unknown Land even though it was still affected by the imbalance. Although it was not as bright as if the sun was out in full force, one could still see clearly. Naturally, all this did not matter much to Lu Zhou, who had gained night vision from the Nether Wolf King. Light was more of a psychological comfort to him.

“So it’s really Qin Yuan, the ancient Saint slayers…”

Based on what he knew, ancient Saint slayers were not weak at all. No, that was an understatement. They were said to have the strength of supreme beings.

Lu Zhou really did not expect there to be such powerful fierce beasts hidden in the depths of Fragrant Valley.

At this moment, a red-and-yellow bee-like fierce beast flew over from the back of the mountain. Its speed was not fast. It was a head taller than the average human; it was twice the size of the other mutated bees. Its wings were suffused with a golden light, and it looked beautiful. It was none other than the legendary Saint slayer, Qin Yuan.

Lu Zhou looked at the red-and-yellow Qin Yuan unblinkingly. The translucent wings of that Qin Yuan began to gradually droop down before forming a light yellow cloak like that of a human. Its head began to distort, and its protruding eyes began to shrink back into its head. At the same time, its body elongated and turned translucent before solidifying again. In the end, it changed into its human form.

In human form, the Qin Yuan looked like an old woman with a spirited gaze and an overbearing aura. When she looked at Lu Zhou, it was as though she would pounce over and eat him.

Lu Zhou remembered a saying among the cultivators: in the fierce beasts’ eyes, humans are the most delicious food.

The Qin Yuan smiled faintly and said, “There aren’t many human cultivators who’re able to travel into the depths of Fragrant Valley. Who are you? Why are you here? Where are you going?”

Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back and said, “I’m cultivating in seclusion in Fragrant Valley. Today, I decided to explore its depths.”

The Qin Yuan sighed lightly before she said, “Human curiosity hasn’t changed at all.” After a moment, she asked, “Aren’t you afraid?”

“I can tell you’ve interacted with humans before and understand them very well. I have no grudges with the Qin Yuans so why should I be afraid?” Lu Zhou said tonelessly. “Humans covet fierce beasts’ life hearts, and fierce beasts covet the flesh and blood of humans. They’ve opposed each other. I can easily kill you,” the Qin Yuan said. Lu Zhou shook his head. “If you wanted to kill me, you would’ve already made a move earlier. There’s no need to wait until now. Moreover, who’s to say I can’t kill you?”

The Qin Yuan’s eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing Lu Zhou’s words. Clearly, the human in front of her was smarter than she had imagined. She had yet to make a move because he was able to travel safely in the depths of Fragrant Valley and to the Qin Yuan hive. This meant that his cultivation was not ordinary.

Finally, the Qin Yuan said with a smile, “What a smart human. Nothing is absolute in this world. Just because I didn’t make a move earlier and now, it doesn’t mean I won’t make a move later. If you don’t answer my questions, you can’t leave. Our Qin Yuan hive lives in seclusion in the depths of Fragrant Valley. We don’t ask about the outside world, and we don’t want any trouble. Now that our whereabouts have been discovered, the best way is to get rid of the person who knows our whereabouts.”

‘This Qin Yuan has a point.’

Lu Zhou calmly replied, “I heard that there are strange flowers and plants here that can help cultivators pass their Birth Trials. That’s why I came to have a look.”

“With your ability, do you need to pass your Birth Trial in such a low-level place?” The Qin Yuan was puzzled. Indeed, in her eyes, this place was not very dangerous.

Lu Zhou replied, “It’s for my disciples’ Birth Trials.”

Upon hearing this, the Qin Yuan nodded. “You’re a really good master for a human. However, you can’t disturb our hive just because of your disciples.”

“I don’t have time to waste. You go your own way, and I’ll go my own way. We won’t interfere with each other,” Lu Zhou said.

“I’m afraid that won’t do,” the Qin Yuan said, “If I let you go, and you bring people back here, wouldn’t our hive be exposed?”

Lu Zhou frowned. He looked at the leader of the Qin Yuans. Her gaze was profound, and her aura was extraordinary. Finally, he asked, “Why are the Qin Yuans hiding in the depths of Fragrant Valley?”

The Qin Yuan shook her head. “Human, that has nothing to do with you.” “Did you hide her because of the land split?” Lu Zhou asked. “You know about the land splitting. You’ve existed since ancient times?” the Qin Yuan was slightly surprised. A hint of joy could be seen in her eyes as well. “It’s been a long time since I met a human from ancient times. The land split caused the loss of many lives. The corpses of humans and fierce beasts were strewn all over the place, giving birth to rivers of blood.”

The Qin Yuan felt a sense of camaraderie with someone from her time. “No,” Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “I’m not from ancient times.”

“No?”

“It’s been 100,000 years since the land split. The Fragrant Valley is no longer part of the Great Void.”

The Qin Yuan frowned. “Nonsense.”

“Believe it or not, you’ve spent 100,000 years in Fragrant Valley. It’s normal that you don’t know about the changes in the outside world. You can send someone outside to have a look if you don’t believe me,” Lu Zhou said as he turned around with his hands on his back.

“Stop him.” The Qin Yuan waved her hand.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The dozens of Qin Yuans flew as fast as the wind, blocking Lu Zhou’s path. Their wings flapped at a high frequency. Lu Zhou turned around and asked in a deep voice, “Do you really plan to make an enemy out of me?”

The Qin Yuan said, “I have no choice. Only the dead can keep a secret.”

“Let alone a Saint slayer, I’d kill you even if you’re the Great Void Emperor,” Lu Zhou said lightly.

“Aren’t you from the Great Void?” the Qin Yuan asked.

“I don’t want to waste words with you. Move aside,” Lu Zhou said as his voice darkened.

“Take him down,” the Qin Yuan ordered.

Following that, the bee-like fierce beasts spat out orbs of light.

The surrounding flowers and trees were instantly illuminated.

At the same time, the flowers began to bloom, emitting an even stronger smell. It was dream-like and intoxicating like wine.

Lu Zhou fell into a daze. However, in just an instant, the divine power surged into his mind. The coolness instantly dispelled the effect, and his consciousness became clear.

“You’re not affected?” the Qin Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

The mutated bees circled the air, buzzing loudly. Their noises were truly unpleasant to the ears.

At this time, Lu Zhou finally realized why the fragrances did not affect him. It was due to the Heavenly Writing. Witchcraft, Buddhist chants, and illusory techniques all had no effect on him. With the addition of the Purple Glazed Ceramic and the divine mark robe, no wonder it was like walking in a park here for him.

Lu Zhou brought out the Purple Glazed Ceramic from the Vast Sky Bag, and everything returned to normal.

The Qin Yuan looked surprised when he saw the Purple Glazed Ceramic. She asked in a deep voice, “Where did you get the Purple Glazed Ceramic?”

At this time, Lu Zhou was already slightly angry. He said, “Mind your own business.”

Then, Lu Zhou pushed his hand that seemed to carry the force of a mountain out.

A golden palm seal flew toward the Qin Yuan.

Boom!

The Qin Yuan waved her hand.

A ball of energy appeared, destroying the palm seal. Then, it shot toward Lu Zhou.

When the ball of energy was a few feet in front of Lu Zhou, the divine mark robe rustled before blowing the ball of energy back.

“Hm?” A red light flashed in the Qin Yuan’s eyes as she asked, “Where did you get this robe?!”

Following that, the Qin Yuan waved her hand.

Clones of the Qin Yuan appeared in the sky before they rushed toward Lu Zhou.

To gain the power of muting so that Samadhi will manifest in the body and radiate into the surroundings like light, and yet, being still in Samadhi.

Lu Zhou’s body was suffused with a golden light. Flashes of faint blue electric arcs could be seen within the light. The light burst forth in all directions in just an instant.

All the clones that touched the electric arcs were instantly swept away.

The Qin Yuan: “…”
