Chapter 344In the small courtyard halfway up the mountain, Lu Qing looked at the tray of rice seeds filled with vitality in front of him, his face showing a satisfied expression. This morning, he had used the Spirit Activation Technique to try to awaken a batch of rice seeds. The situation was very promising—after only half a day, the rice seeds already showed signs of sprouting. By tomorrow, they should start growing new shoots. When the time comes, he would inspect them. If they successfully transformed into Spirit Seeds, he could start preparing to awaken the remaining rice seeds. Just as Lu Qing was wondering whether he should also awaken the wheat seeds, a slight fluctuation from the array brushed past his heart. "Hm? Why does Senior Wei look so anxious?" A thought crossed Lu Qing’s mind, and he turned to leave the meditation room. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Wei Shanhai hurriedly approaching from outside. "Young Master Lu!" "Senior Wei, what happened?" Lu Qing asked. "Just now, I received a message from the mansion. It said that assassins from Wujian Tower appeared in the county town and tried to attack Xinghe and the others." "Wujian Tower assassins?" Lu Qing was startled. "Yes, fortunately, Doctor Chen happened to be at the mansion and subdued the assassins from Wujian Tower. They sent a letter asking for your instructions on how to deal with the assassins." "Master is in the county town too?" Lu Qing was even more surprised. Wasn’t his master supposed to be offering free medical services in a nearby village? How did he end up in the county town? "Yes, it’s a good thing Doctor Chen was visiting the mansion, or Xinghe and the others might not have survived. According to the letter, the assassins from Wujian Tower were incredibly strong. Xinghe was overwhelmed in just one exchange and had no ability to resist." Wei Shanhai's expression was filled with lingering fear. "From what Senior is saying, the assassins are still alive?" "Yes, Doctor Chen only gravely injured them but did not kill them, which is why they sent a letter asking for your opinion." Lu Qing nodded. He wasn’t surprised. With his master's temperament, he would never easily take a life before fully understanding the situation. "Alright, I’ll go to the county town. Senior Wei, I’ll have to trouble you to watch over Xiao Yan and the others while I’m gone." After speaking, Lu Qing formed a hand seal. Immediately, Wei Shanhai felt an invisible energy envelop the entire mountain. The energy didn’t seem strong, but it gave him an inexplicable sense of unease. "I’ve activated the array on the mountain. Even a Precelestial Realm expert would find it difficult to enter unnoticed. You only need to stay in the courtyard." "Very well, you can go with peace of mind." Wei Shanhai nodded solemnly. Although he was worried about the situation at the mansion, he knew how much Lu Qing cared for Xiao Yan and the others. If no one were stationed in Jiuli Village, Lu Qing wouldn’t feel comfortable going to the county town. Ŗâ₦ổ฿ЁŚ "I’ll be on my way, then." After giving some instructions to Xiao Li in his heart, Lu Qing’s body emitted a faint yellow and green light. In the next moment, he transformed into a streak of light, flying down the mountain. Wei Shanhai’s eyes widened at the incredible speed. Lu Qing was moving more than ten times faster than he could, which was beyond Wei Shanhai’s imagination. "Young Master, your Talisman Art is truly exquisite." As Lu Qing swiftly advanced toward the county town, Yan's voice praised him from within his mind. Seeing Lu Qing's graceful yet rapid form, Yan was genuinely amazed. Normally, body cultivators aren’t skilled in using spells. But this rule didn’t seem to apply to Lu Qing. Whether it was the Spirit Activation Technique or the Talisman Art he was using now, Lu Qing wielded them with incredible ease. In fact, he was more proficient than many regular spell cultivators, completely defying the convention that body cultivators were not adept at magic. "Senior flatters me. I only happened to study a bit of the Divine Rune Sect's legacy, which gave me some insights into talismans," Lu Qing humbly replied. The talismans he was using now were of the earth and wind elements. The earth element talisman reduced his weight, while the wind element talisman made him lighter and more agile. Together, they naturally made his speed extremely fast. "The Divine Rune Sect's legacy is indeed remarkable," Yan praised sincerely. Even in the ancient era of cultivation, the Divine Rune Sect was a very mysterious faction. No one would have expected their legacy to allow a body cultivator to effortlessly cast spells. In this way, Lu Qing seemed like a dual cultivator of both body and magic, with no weaknesses. With the boost from the talismans, Lu Qing’s speed was like that of a bird in flight. Before long, he saw the county town bathed in moonlight ahead. By now, the city gates were closed, but this posed no challenge for Lu Qing. Arriving at the city walls, he lightly tapped his foot, and his nimble body effortlessly soared to the top of the wall. With a quick flip, he entered the city without alerting anyone. At this time, the county town was in a state of panic. Earlier, when Doctor Chen fought with the assassins from Wujian Tower, though the fight didn’t last long, the aura of the Precelestial Realm assassins still spread outward. The terrifying pressure of the Precelestial Realm—especially from a group of them—instantly made the entire town fall silent, as if doomsday had arrived. Though the Wujian Tower assassins were later subdued by Doctor Chen, the people in the town were still trembling with fear. Naturally, no one dared to come out and see what had happened. Battles involving Precelestial Realm experts were no trivial matter. Anyone who was unfortunate enough to get caught in the crossfire wouldn’t even have time to cry before it was too late. As Lu Qing hurried toward the Wei Mansion, he sensed the waves of fear emanating from the nearby houses, causing his brow to furrow slightly. However, he didn’t do anything. His figure flickered, and he quickly entered the Wei Mansion. Using his soul perception, Lu Qing made his way directly to the courtyard where Doctor Chen was located. "Master." "Ah Qing." Doctor Chen turned around. "Young Master Lu!" Wei Xinghe’s body trembled, his eyes full of surprise. He had only just sent out the message transmission via eagle, and yet Lu Qing had already arrived in the county town? "Patriarch Wei." Lu Qing nodded slightly at Wei Xinghe, then turned his gaze toward the black-clad individuals lying on the ground. "These are the assassins from Wujian Tower?" "I'm not entirely certain, but their aura is exactly the same as the Wujian Tower assassins who tried to kill us in Sacred City. Also, one of the most powerful assassins seemed to have a strange treasure on him. I wasn’t able to keep him. I don’t know if he’s still hiding in the city." "A powerful one got away?" Hearing this, Lu Qing immediately closed his eyes and began to sense the situation in the city. The assassins lying on the ground were also observing Lu Qing. From the earlier conversation between Doctor Chen and Wei Xinghe, they had already realized that this young man was their most important target. He was the one who, not long ago, had caused a massive stir in Zhongzhou's Sacred City. As they took a closer look at Lu Qing’s face, even though they had mentally prepared themselves, the assassins still felt a shock in their hearts. There was no helping it—Lu Qing looked too young. It was hard to believe that this young man was the terrifying figure who had made even Sacred Mountain wary. "I didn’t detect any trace of him." After a moment, Lu Qing opened his eyes and spoke. With his soul strength now comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, it was nearly impossible for a Precelestial Realm expert to escape his detection—unless they were like his master, possessing deep insights into the domain or carrying a treasure specifically meant to conceal their presence. Since his master mentioned that the assassin had a strange treasure, Lu Qing wasn’t certain if the person was still in the city. But that didn’t matter. Since the assassin had abandoned his comrades and fled, his strength likely wasn’t that formidable. Lu Qing’s gaze returned to the assassins on the ground. Soon, information flashed before his eyes, and a knowing look appeared on his face. Meanwhile, the assassins felt a wave of terror wash over them. For some reason, they felt as though Lu Qing's eyes contained a certain power, as if all their secrets were laid bare before his gaze. "Master, these people are indeed assassins from Wujian Tower." Doctor Chen nodded. He knew that Lu Qing was proficient in a certain mysterious divination technique, which allowed him to easily deduce the origin of the things he saw. Since Lu Qing had confirmed it, there could be no mistake. "What do you think we should do with them, Ah Qing?" "No rush. Let me ask them a few questions first." Lu Qing turned to the assassins on the ground. "Do you wish to live or die?" The assassins were stunned. Before they could answer, Lu Qing continued, "If you wish to die, I’ll send you on your way right now. If you want to live, answer my questions honestly. If your answers satisfy me, I might spare your life." The assassins exchanged glances. After a few moments of silence, one of them spoke up: "Even ants strive to live. Of course we want to survive. What would you like to know, Young Master?" "Where is the entrance to the Xuankong Mountain Secret Realm?" At this question, all the assassins froze. They had thought that Lu Qing would ask about their origins or the purpose of this assassination attempt. Never in their wildest dreams did they expect him to directly ask about the location of the Xuankong Mountain Secret Realm entrance. The assassin who had spoken hesitated for a moment before forcing a smile. "You must be joking, Young Master. We are just ordinary assassins. How could we have any connection to an entity like Xuankong Mountain, let alone know the location of their secret realm?" "Which assassin organization can mobilize five Precelestial Realm assassins at once?" Lu Qing said calmly. "There’s no need to pretend in front of me. I know your origins clearly. Years ago, Wujian Tower was wiped out by all the major sects under heaven. It was Xuankong Mountain that saved you and hid you in their secret realm. That’s how you rats managed to survive and rebuild in the shadows. Now, tell me—where is the entrance to the Xuankong Mountain Secret Realm?" The assassins stared blankly at Lu Qing. They hadn’t expected him not only to know their true identities but also to be fully aware of the secret from over a thousand years ago. The events of that time were hidden even from the major sects and sacred places, including Sacred Mountain, yet Lu Qing could recount them with absolute accuracy, as if he had witnessed it all himself. Even the assassins had only learned about these events through stories passed down within their group. "It seems you need a lesson to take my words seriously," Lu Qing said, shaking his head at their stunned expressions. With a flick of his wrist, a thin thread of Force Qi shot out. A soft sound followed as the Qi pierced the forehead of one of the assassins. Despite his tough Precelestial Realm body, it was like tofu before Lu Qing’s attack. His brow acupoint was destroyed, and without the chance to resist, the assassin’s life force and soul quickly dissipated. "Lengxin!" the remaining assassins cried out in anguish. "I’ll count to three. If no one answers my question, one of you will follow in his footsteps." Lu Qing’s voice was cold. "We really don’t know! Even if you kill us, it won’t change that!" one assassin shouted desperately. "One," Lu Qing said softly. "Are you really going to kill us all?" "Two." "There’s no such thing! How could we possibly know where it is?" "Three." As the word left his mouth, Lu Qing flicked his wrist again, and another thread of Force Qi pierced the forehead of a second assassin, killing him instantly. "Lengyi!" The remaining two assassins were filled with rage, their eyes burning with hatred as they glared at Lu Qing. "Boy, who knew someone so young could have such a cruel heart. You’re more suited to be an assassin than we are." "You never intended to spare us, did you? You just want an excuse to kill us." "You don’t need to put on a show in front of me." Lu Qing remained unfazed by their accusations. "Before you came here, you killed plenty of innocent people, didn’t you? Denying it is pointless. The sinister aura surrounding you tells me everything I need to know." The assassins' expressions faltered. Lu Qing continued, "Wujian Tower assassins are notorious for being cold, ruthless, and utterly devoid of morals. Killing all of you would be a merit in the eyes of the people. I’m offering you a chance at life out of sheer mercy. But if you waste it, you’ll have no one to blame but yourselves." He paused, then added, "I’ve changed my mind. Only one of you will live now. Whoever tells me the truth before I finish counting to three will have the chance to survive. The other will join your dead comrades." As Lu Qing started counting again, the two assassins exchanged conflicted glances. One of them hesitated, but the other immediately shouted, "I’ll talk! I’ll tell you!" The hesitant assassin's eyes widened in shock. Just as he was about to speak, it was already too late. Lu Qing flicked his wrist once more, and the thread of Force Qi struck his brow, killing him instantly. The remaining assassin stood frozen in fear as the body of his comrade slumped to the ground. "I gave you a choice. Now, start talking," Lu Qing said coldly. The assassin nodded frantically, his previous defiance replaced with terror. "The entrance… The entrance to the Xuankong Mountain Secret Realm is hidden beneath the waterfall on the eastern side of the mountain. There’s a cave there that leads to it… That’s all I know! Please, spare me!" Lu Qing studied him for a moment, then nodded. "Very well. I’ll keep my word." He glanced at Doctor Chen. "Master, how do you wish to handle this man?" Doctor Chen gave a small sigh. "Ah Qing, we’ll deal with him according to the laws of the sect." Lu Qing nodded again. "Understood." With the matter settled, Lu Qing’s cold demeanor faded, and he looked toward the sky. "It’s getting late. I’ll leave the rest to you, Master." Doctor Chen smiled faintly. "Go on, Ah Qing. I’ll handle everything here." Lu Qing turned and left the courtyard, disappearing into the night as swiftly as he had come. The town, still wrapped in fear, remained silent, unaware that the threat had been dealt with. Table of content
