Chapter 88: Journey to the Sage King World to Aid Yang Qi

"This jade pendant is of such high quality; even damaged, it still possesses such terrifying aura!" Fang Han circled the jade pendant, examining it. "With this jade pendant, your actions will be much more convenient in the future... As long as you can unleash a trace of its power, you can suppress an expert of the Longevity Realm!" "That strong?" Fang Han was very surprised to hear this. The Longevity Realm was already an expert of the Longevity Secret Realm. Shi Jian had truly given him a good item this time. "I announce that this Kun Peng Divine Burial dungeon has perfectly concluded!" "Clearance Rating: SSS!" Looking at the Heavenly Desolation he had obtained, and the Kun Peng Divine Burial, Shi Jian was very satisfied with this trip to the Kunpeng Nest. Not only did he obtain the Kun Peng Divine Burial as expected, but he also consumed so many resources, greatly advancing his Cultivation! More importantly, he obtained the Immortal King Divine Weapon Heavenly Desolation. Everyone in the group also received a divine weapon... This operation could not have been more perfect. Xiao Yan and Yang Qi, who were next to Shi Jian, both had satisfied smiles on their faces. Both of them also made a huge profit from this wave. Xiao Yan waved the golden fan in his hand, striking a pose like a dashing Young Master (show-off): "Hehe, if it's over, I'm going back to the Dou Po World. When the Three-Year Agreement comes next month, I'll call you guys again... You must come then!" As soon as he finished speaking, he exited in that show-off posture, leaving the Perfect World. "This guy..." Yang Qi and Shi Jian shook their heads as they watched him leave. They always felt that this guy had unlocked some new and strange attribute after getting the fan. "There should be a large number of experts gathered outside the Kunpeng Nest now. Do you want to return to Shi Village or go to Zhulu Academy? I can send you." Liu Shen asked Shi Jian. She had detected countless experts appearing over the sea outside the Kunpeng Nest. If Shi Jian and Yang Qi went out now, they would surely suffer a thunderous strike. Therefore, she wanted to directly take the two away. "They are merely a group of Venerables..." Shi Jian spoke indifferently. If he had faced a large group of Venerables before coming to the Kunpeng Nest... Then he would certainly have panicked. But now, his Cultivation had reached the Peak of the Spiritual Realm, and the Giant Elephant particles in his body had awakened to over three hundred... If not for many Venerables in the Kunpeng Nest being Clones, Shi Jian estimated his own strength could have been even greater. The Venerable Realm could be suppressed with a flick of a finger. To reassure Liu Shen, Shi Jian directly opened all his Heavenly Caves. Over three hundred terrifying Heavenly Caves, each fused with Giant Elephant particles, appeared behind him. They were densely packed, and each Heavenly Cave was devouring a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, pouring it into Shi Jian's body. Liu Shen looked at the Heavenly Caves behind him with solemnity and bewilderment. Over the limit, far too over the limit... Feeling Shi Jian's terrifying aura, Liu Shen knew that Venerables were absolutely no match for him. Unless a true deity descended. Otherwise, Shi Jian was unrivaled in this Lower Realm. A Spiritual Realm fighting a deity? Too over the limit. How many months had it been since Shi Jian left Shi Village? "Since that is the case, then I am relieved..." Liu Shen seemed to have suffered some blow, and the spirituality of her entire willow leaf had quieted down. Shi Jian put away the willow leaf, then looked at Yang Qi: "Since it's come to this, let's have another great slaughter and completely resolve the matters here..." "Then we'll go to your world!" Yang Qi was also a Killing Intent fanatic, and he nodded directly. He had also greatly advanced his Cultivation now and urgently needed a war to temper himself. The two walked out without hesitation. After they left, someone finally mustered the courage to enter the Kunpeng Dojo. They looked at the bare Kunpeng Dojo, where not even a stone table remained, and fell into bewilderment. "What a brutal act, what a brutal act, they didn't even leave us a stone table..." Everyone's mentality collapsed. They originally thought that Shi Jian and Yang Qi were peerless Prodigies, and such Prodigies would generally hold themselves in high regard and look down on ordinary treasures... They could pick up some scraps after them. But these two didn't even leave them a stone table... Truly brutal!!! Someone stepped out of this sea area and brought out the information from the Kunpeng Nest. The information he brought out completely ignited the North Sea. Shi Jian and Yang Qi had suppressed all competitors and finally monopolized the Kunpeng Dojo... They, with their Divine Burial, which was no less inferior to the Ten Fiends' Divine Burial, had slain Venerables in the Spiritual Realm... Countless rumors spread. As soon as this news came out, the outside world exploded. The Kun Peng Divine Burial had already attracted many people... Now they suddenly heard that Shi Jian and Yang Qi possessed Divine Burials that were in no way inferior to the Kun Peng Divine Burial... Who wouldn't go crazy? As long as they captured Shi Jian and Yang Qi, they could instantly obtain several Ten Fiend-level Divine Burials... People from various major forces dispatched experts to the sea, and a world-shattering battle was brewing. In this outer world, if Venerable-level experts fought with their true bodies, the heavens and earth would be torn apart, and blood would pour back into the Nine Heavens... Under the eager anticipation of countless people, Shi Jian and Yang Qi finally appeared! They unfolded their demonic wings and flew out of the Kunpeng Nest. The demonic wings had now become their symbol. Therefore, as soon as they walked out of the Kunpeng Nest, someone immediately recognized them. In the sky, a silver giant hand descended, a single finger larger than a mountain. This was a Venerable-level expert making a move. Another large claw struck, covering the sky and sun, with purple Qi stretching for thousands of miles... "Leave the Divine Burial!" A golden wing swept down from the Nine Heavens, striking straight down. In an instant, the battlefield was directly ignited. Countless Venerable-level experts appeared, wanting to capture Shi Jian and Yang Qi. Shi Jian and Yang Qi faced this scene with calm expressions. Shi Jian, needless to say, his strength could already crush Venerables. Yang Qi had also grown to the point where he could contend with Venerables. Moreover, with the terrifying True Qi attribute of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, Yang Qi alone could exhaust all these experts... Of course, he wasn't flustered. "Seeking death..." Facing the attacks of numerous Venerable-level experts, a hint of coldness flashed in Yang Qi's eyes. In the next instant, the Nether God's Spear appeared in his hand, and with a sweep of the spear, it instantly blocked all attacks. Those attacking Venerables were shocked. They thought that Shi Jian and Yang Qi could only deal with Venerables whose Cultivation was suppressed... But they hadn't expected that now, in this outer world, Yang Qi could also block their attacks? In the next instant, Yang Qi swept his Nether God's Spear, directly piercing a Venerable! This Venerable instantly turned into essence Qi and dissipated between heaven and earth. "Another Clone..." Yang Qi was speechless after seeing this scene. Before, when he devoured the Heaven-Devouring Sparrow, his Cultivation directly skyrocketed. Later, he had besieged and killed many Venerables in the Kunpeng Nest. He originally thought these Venerables could also make his Cultivation skyrocket. Who knew... these Venerables turned into essence Qi and returned to heaven and earth after death. Only after asking Shi Jian did he learn that this was a "Clone." Something similar to a Clone. If a Clone died, the Hell Furnace could only plunder some Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. This infuriated him. Isn't this bullying honest people? I worked hard for most of the day, and finally killed someone... But you won't let me refine the corpse? Now, as soon as Yang Qi saw a Clone, he felt annoyed. His fierce gaze swept over everyone. It couldn't be that everyone was a Clone, could it? "Kill!" Yang Qi raised the Nether God's Spear and directly charged towards the many Venerables! "Arrogant, presumptuous!" The numerous Venerable-level experts were enraged by this sight. What kind of figures were they? The supreme experts of a major sect. Yang Qi actually dared to actively charge at them? Isn't this looking down on them? Countless people wielded their Divine Burials and began to fight with Yang Qi. Upon seeing this scene, Shi Jian also did not hesitate and immediately took action! Yang Qi's strength was only on par with these Venerables; he could fight against many and achieve a stalemate. Shi Jian, however, was a blatant slaughterer. He did not use the Black Emperor Water Emperor Fist, but only ordinary punches and kicks. With each punch and kick, the entire sea area trembled. Countless Venerable-level experts were directly blown apart... Not a single Venerable could withstand one punch from him. This battle was extremely tragic. A one-sided slaughter was, of course, tragic. All the Venerables from the Taigu Divine Mountain and overseas divine islands were suppressed and killed by Yang Qi and Shi Jian. It was just a pity that most of these Venerable-level existences had sent their Clones. Their true bodies were hidden somewhere unknown. Shi Jian and Yang Qi slaughtered over a hundred Venerable-level experts, but only six true bodies arrived... Shi Jian killed four, and Yang Qi killed two. After each used the Hell Furnace, both their strengths increased significantly! Their Cultivation greatly advanced. "What a pity, these people are too cunning; they all sent Clones..." "If I could devour and refine all of them, then I wouldn't be far from the Legendary Realm!" The battle ended, and Yang Qi spoke with a hint of regret. Shi Jian nodded and spoke indifferently: "Those who can Cultivate to the Venerable Realm are not easy to deal with; it's normal for them to be cautious. Our gains this time are already great enough!" "Hehe, in a few more days, I will complete the Sixfold Life Seizing... Chu Tiange is nothing but a worthless chicken!" Yang Qi laughed heartily. Thinking of meeting Chu Tiange and Yun Hailan with his Sixfold Life Seizing Cultivation, he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased! Chu Tiange was only at First Life Seizing, and Yun Hailan was currently only a Qi Master. However, he had already completed Six Life Taking. The gap between them was considerable. Having read the life script Shi Jian gave him, Yang Qi knew of Chu Tiange's arrogant demeanor towards him. Now that they were meeting, Yang Qi wanted to see if he still had that same expression from the book. "You smile even more lewdly than Xiao Yan..." Shi Jian couldn't help but complain when he saw him like this. Yang Qi's laughter stopped abruptly. He looked at Shi Jian with resentment. What's wrong with me laughing happily for a bit? Did I provoke you? "Just kidding... But you two, and Meng Qi, all look very punchable when you smile. Perhaps that's the unique smile of a protagonist, can't learn it, can't learn it!" Shi Jian added. Yang Qi: ... After resolving everything, the two used the chat group's teleportation function to arrive together in the world of the Sage King! Cold winds howled, sweeping up sand and dust everywhere. This was the ground of the Northwest, in the dead of winter, yet no heavy snow had fallen. The Northwest climate was arid; looking out, all that could be seen was yellow earth, sand dunes, and bare trees. Crows cawed on the trees, adding a touch of desolation. "I've already accepted the mission to exterminate the Bloodsucking Horse Bandits in the Ximen territory!" Shi Jian and Yang Qi walked amidst the swirling sand. Yang Qi stated the current situation. He had accepted the mission to kill the Bloodsucking Horse Bandits according to the original plot. According to the original plot, Chu Tiange and Yun Hailan should also be in this area. The only difference was that in the original, Yang Qi came with several other outer Disciples. Now, he had taken the mission by himself. And now, there was also Shi Jian. "What do you plan to do?" Shi Jian asked Yang Qi curiously. "Directly use the Heaven's Mandate Academy's distress signal to lure them over, then forcefully suppress and kill them!" Yang Qi spoke with Killing Intent. "I brought dozens of distress signals. If one doesn't lure them, I'll use ten, a hundred!" Clearly, Yang Qi had made ample preparations. Inviting Shi Jian was just a precaution. "Alright!" Shi Jian nodded in agreement. Heaven's Mandate Academy had special distress fireworks. As long as they were launched into the sky, the character "Heaven" would continuously flash in the sky. It could be seen clearly for hundreds of miles around. If there were people from Heaven's Mandate Academy nearby, they would definitely rush over! In the original, Chu Tiange was lured this way. After Yang Qi finished explaining his plan, he didn't hesitate, directly taking out a firework and throwing it into the sky. A strong divine light shot into the sky and instantly exploded. Howling sounds were incessant, and the character "Heaven" continuously flashed in the sky! It was indeed clearly visible for hundreds of miles around. Shi Jian and Yang Qi concealed their figures, quietly waiting for the hunters to take the bait. After only waiting for a few incense sticks, Yang Qi frowned: "It seems Chu Tiange isn't nearby!" With Chu Tiange's strength at the Life Taking Realm, after seeing this firework, even if he was a hundred miles away, he should have arrived within a few incense sticks' time. "While trying, let's also look for the Bloodsucking Horse Bandits' main camp. As long as they're here, we'll eventually run into them!" Shi Jian spoke calmly. "It's a pity I haven't met Chu Tiange, and when I knew Yun Hailan, my Cultivation was too low, otherwise I could use Thousand Mile Soul Lock to directly find their traces!" Yang Qi sighed. The Qi Cultivation system he Cultivated was a very powerful Cultivation system. Qi Sect experts could master the "Thousand Mile Soul Lock" skill. As long as they had felt someone's aura, they could use Thousand Mile Soul Lock to track their whereabouts. If he had seen Chu Tiange before, he could now directly pinpoint Chu Tiange's location. He did know Yun Hailan, but at that time, his Cultivation was too low. He hadn't mastered the Thousand Mile Soul Lock skill. "You two were together at least once, don't you have anything of hers on you?" Shi Jian thought for a moment before speaking. "Hmph, how could I possibly keep her things by my side?" Killing Intent flashed in Yang Qi's eyes. In his youth, he prided himself on his outstanding talent, believing there was nothing in this world he couldn't accomplish. That's why he fell for Yun Hailan's trick. Now, he hated Yun Hailan to the bone, so how could he keep her things by his side? "So, being a simp never ends well..." Seeing Yang Qi's expression, Shi Jian spoke with emotion. "I was indeed a simp before, but not anymore... Romantic love is just an illusion, brotherhood is true!" Having been in the chat group for so long, Yang Qi also knew what a simp meant. Being a simp indeed didn't end well. He used to be a simp for Yun Hailan, which is why he almost died. Brothers are good! They can entrust their lives to each other. Especially the brothers in the chat group. Yang Qi looked sincerely at Shi Jian, about to thank Shi Jian with a few words. Who knew Shi Jian subtly retreated a few steps. Yang Qi: What do you mean by covering your butt? Yang Qi, who couldn't keep up with Shi Jian's thoughts, was a bit confused. "Brother Shi, what are you doing?" Fearing that Yang Qi would say "Brother, you smell so good," Shi Jian quickly said: "Those Bloodsucking Horse Bandits should be plundering everywhere right now. Let's fly into the sky to check the situation and find their traces first..." "Chu Tiange and the others also took on the Bloodsucking Horse Bandit mission. By guarding the Bloodsucking Horse Bandits, we won't fail to find them!" "You're right!" Yang Qi nodded, and then both of them spread their Devil Wings and flew into the sky! With their Cultivation, their vision was astonishing. Flying into the Void Realm, they could see the situation within hundreds of miles. Soon, the two found traces of the Bloodsucking Horse Bandits. In a market, a group of Bloodsucking Horse Bandits were slaughtering the people within the market. These Bloodsucking Horse Bandits cultivated evil arts; anyone they killed would have their essence blood completely absorbed! Cultivating Qi by absorbing the blood of living people was a forbidden art on the continent. Although the Cultivation speed was extremely fast, absorbing too much blood would lead to a crazed will, turning them into monsters who only knew how to kill. Therefore, everyone had the right to kill them. Speaking of which, Shi Jian and Yang Qi were the true Great Devils. These Bloodsucking Horse Bandits only cultivated with human blood. Shi Jian and Yang Qi, however, devoured everything from humans. "Kill!" Upon seeing these Bloodsucking Horse Bandits, Yang Qi didn't hesitate at all and immediately took action! In the blink of an eye, all these Bloodsucking Horse Bandits, who only had Qi Cultivation, were completely killed by him. "By following the traces of these Bloodsucking Horse Bandits when they came, we can find their main camp!" The two didn't leave any survivors, it made no difference whether they did or not. These Bloodsucking Horse Bandits came out to "hunt," so they would definitely leave traces on the road. "Go!" The two immediately pursued in the direction the Bloodsucking Horse Bandits came from, covering hundreds of miles. By now, the sky had already darkened, but for experts of their level, whether the sky was dark or not made no difference. "Ahead, is an ancient city..." Soon, the two arrived at an ancient city. Shi Jian spoke with a somewhat strange expression, if he remembered correctly... In the original, the Bloodsucking Horse Bandits Yang Qi encountered were also in an ancient city. Yang Qi obviously also thought of this. A sinister smile appeared on his lips: "What a coincidence..." If this was the ancient city from the original, wouldn't that mean Chu Tiange was nearby? On the streets of the ancient city, countless whirlwinds swept, making eerie sounds. Like the gates of Hell leading to the underworld. The shops on both sides had long since decayed. Shi Jian and Yang Qi directly entered the ancient city. The smiles on their lips grew wider and wider. Caw, caw, caw... It seemed to be the screech of crows, a terrifying sound like the appearance of devils and yakshas... Enveloping all directions! "It seems our luck is very good... We found the right place so quickly!" Yang Qi smiled. In his perception, those who were pretending to be ghosts had nowhere to hide. Among them, there happened to be an expert at the Qi Sect Realm. Ancient city, Bloodsucking Horse Bandits, Qi Sect expert... This place was clearly where he and Yun Hailan would meet again. "This time it's 100% certain..." Shi Jian turned his head, then shattered a blood shadow that was baring its fangs and claws! "Playing tricks!" Shi Jian snorted coldly. Instantly, countless Bloodsucking Horse Bandits hiding in this ancient city had their heart meridians shattered and fell to the ground. This time, they truly became ghosts. He flexed his fingers and grabbed a black-robed figure. This was the strongest among those Bloodsucking Horse Bandits. He possessed the Cultivation of a Qi Sect. "My lord, spare my life!" The person quickly cried out for mercy. With his Qi Sect Cultivation, plus numerous subordinates, he could usually kill a general Heaven's Mandate Academy squad. Who knew he would encounter such a tough opponent today. These two's Cultivation had probably reached the Life Taking Realm. Yang Qi ignored the Bloodsucking Horse Bandit and once again released a distress firework! The Bloodsucking Horse Bandit was still confused as to why these two were releasing a distress firework after suppressing him... A long howl came from a distance. Shi Jian and Yang Qi exchanged glances. They're here. Chu Tiange!
