Chapter 280: Qing Family’s Plot Emerges
Qing Yun Kang’s voice had not yet fallen when a figure rushed straight toward him.
His heart jolted, and he fiercely swung his saber to intercept, saber light flashing like lightning.
The attacker held a spear, his figure agile like a shadow, arriving before him in an instant.
Po Jun!
The spear shadow in his hand directly broke through the saber light, emitting a clanging sound.
The sharp spear tip pierced through, its edge instantly slicing across Qing Yun Kang’s temples.
He was shocked in his heart, his back soaked with chill, his figure exploding backward, and in his panic he summoned a Green Lion to block.
Bai Yun thrust the White Tiger Po Jun Spear forward from her hand, spear shadows like tigers behind her, with a tiger roar, the spearhead smashed, dispersing the Green Lion True Intent’s figure.
Her spear momentum was domineering, her charging steps like a tiger, the left and right Killing Tiger and White Tiger two True Intents pouncing and striking.
Qing Yun Kang held his saber horizontally to block, but was forced to retreat repeatedly by the two enormous tiger intent figures.
Bai Yun reached out and waved, left and right dual spear phantoms emerging, the Spear Master’s power activating, Po Jun and Zhu Xie dual spears instantly arriving before Qing Yun Kang.
A puffing sound rang out, the spear shadows piercing through his left and right shoulders, directly nailing him to the ground.
Qing Yun Kang’s blood splashed, and he still wanted to struggle, but unexpectedly a Tiger Paw pressed on his chest, like a great mountain, completely suppressing his resistance.
“Steward!”
Qing Family Martial Artists still wanted to come to rescue, but Bai Yun swept her long spear horizontally, killing several people between point strikes.
At this time, Sacred Insect Dao Martial Artists surrounded and killed, Blood Bees as cover, holding absolute advantage in the pouncing kills.
Guo Han Peng saw the situation was bad and turned to flee, wanting to abandon the Qing Family Martial Artists.
He and the several people by his side were merely retainers recruited by the Qing Family, unable to achieve shared life and death.
However, Nangong Hong Yue had been waiting for a long time, reaching out to grab, already capturing him in her hand.
Guo Han Peng still wanted to resist, but unexpectedly powerful True Essence surged into his body, instantly scattering all his resistance.
“Dan Qiao True Person?!”
After Guo Han Peng understood the attacker’s strength, his eyes widened like bronze bells, his back soaked with cold sweat, his face pale as paper, trembling incessantly.
The remaining people were all captured or killed on the spot in less than half a quarter of an hour.
Bai Yun dragged Qing Yun Kang over, at this time Qing Yun Kang had his hand and foot meridians severed, his whole body limp and powerless.
“What exactly are you people, why target the Qing Family.”
In the current situation, Qing Yun Kang had already seen through that this was not some ambush on cargo, but straight at their Qing Family.
Leaving people alive was to force confessions.
His heart hardened: “Don’t think of getting anything out of my mouth.”
Just as he was about to shatter his own heart meridian, unexpectedly Bai Yun pointed with her finger, directly blasting apart his dantian, a mouthful of reverse blood spurting out, True Essence collapsing and no longer mobilizable.
“Question them separately, to avoid them faking it.”
“Good.” Nangong Hong Yue nodded, handing a bottle of pills to Bai Yun: “Spirit Bewilderment Pills, although only Upper Second-order, but sufficient.”
The two split to question, Yuan Ye’s mouth curved up, revealing a smile.
“You few, chop their corpses several more times, put them in the shrubs and burn with one fire. Storage Rings, sharp weapons all strip clean, don’t leave any…”
He skillfully commanded the Sacred Insect Dao Martial Artists to handle the corpses, setting up traces.
Previously he was a Yan Ying Sect person, more accurately he was Three Flames Divine Palace’s nail buried in Lingnan Prefecture.
For killing and silencing, destroying corpses and traces, he was the true expert.
……
Nangong Hong Yue brought Guo Han Peng to another place, Guo Han Peng’s heart terrified, unable to hide anything.
“Senior, I am willing to speak, no matter what you ask, I definitely will not conceal what I know.”
Guo Han Peng kowtowed incessantly, for life-saving, he no longer cared.
Nangong Hong Yue did not want to play mind games with him, with a wave of her hand, the Spirit Bewilderment Pill already fell into his mouth, before he could react, the pill had melted into his body.
Medicinal potency dispersed into his body, Guo Han Peng’s eyes immediately lost focus, the whole person kneeling dazed, falling into a bewitched state.
Nangong Hong Yue released the Soul Hooking Insect, red light shooting into Guo Han Peng’s brow, directly controlling him.
“Where is the Wind Thunder Insect, what is its state?”
Guo Han Peng’s dazed voice sounded: “In Xi Junyue True Person’s hand, that is the Wind Thunder Insect larva he obtained as opportunity, just molted once, not yet completed refining.”
Xi Junyue?
Nangong Hong Yue frowned, Xi Junyue was Extreme Yin Cavern’s Dan Qiao Martial Artist, Extreme Yin Cavern in Hundred Caves Witch Sect although only mid-tier, but with four Dan Qiao in the sect, this Xi Junyue ranked second, also an old demon not to be underestimated.
Xi Junyue unexpectedly tangled with the Qing Family.
This was not good news, it also meant they were plotting something.
“Why is Xi Junyue here? What did the Qing Family hire him for?”
Nangong Hong Yue’s eyes flashed with cold light, directly pressing.
Guo Han Peng with a dazed face: “Don’t know, possibly Yao Lixuan True Person set heavy reward, with opportunity for Dharma Aspect, that’s why they acted together. We procured materials, instructed by Qing Family, to hand to a group in Thousand Cloud Ridge.”
“What people?”
“Don’t know, they all concealed their figures, couldn’t tell which power.”
Nangong Hong Yue continued questioning, but Guo Han Peng was just an errand person, although handled spreading news in Wuyi City.
But after finishing, possibly identity exposed, immediately fled back to Wanmu City, remaining matters no longer handled, naturally knew little.
“Where is Xi Junyue?”
“In Wanmu City City Lord’s Mansion, together with Qing Family.”
Ultimately, Nangong Hong Yue only asked out Xi Junyue’s location.
Guo Han Peng slowly awoke, not yet recovered his senses, the Soul Hooking Insect directly devoured his soul, his flesh and blood completely devoured clean by Blood Fiend Marrow Worm.
She returned to Little Cloud Valley, at this time Yuan Ye had finished arranging, Bai Yun dragged the half-dead Qing Yun Kang over, threw him on the ground, face solemn.
“Wind Thunder Insect in Xi Junyue’s hand, right in Wanmu City. I asked what this team was doing, Qing Yun Kang only said, instructed by Qing Yunqian, to deliver materials to a group of mysterious contacts, to have great use in Thousand Cloud Ridge.”
Nangong Hong Yue nodded: “I asked roughly the same.”
Yuan Ye thoughtful, he suddenly said: “Two Lords, I see their materials all related to arranging formations, probably arranging formation in Thousand Cloud Ridge. Wanmu City and Wuyi City fiercely contending, don’t know if Qing Yunke they want to stir earth vein or cause beast tide, not easy for people to recognize one or two formation related?”
The three all not proficient in formation arrays, and Qing Yun Kang’s procured goods only tip of iceberg, really might not discern what grand array.
“First return to Wuyi City, on one hand probe the formation, on other hand collect Xi Junyue intelligence, if he leaves the city.”
Nangong Hong Yue’s eyes showed fierce color, Bai Yun’s gaze also condensed, both same mind, that is find method to ambush and kill Xi Junyue, seize Wind Thunder Insect for Su Yan.
——
Long Qiushui together with Su Yan, drove the Blood Bone Centipede King straight to Wuyi City.
The two passed through clouds from high air, overlooking, vaguely seeing Martial Artists active inside and outside Wuyi City.
In the mountains and forests, Righteous Path Martial Artists and Demonic Path Martial Artists mixed in wilderness and in the forest, ambushes and kills everywhere.
Current Wuyi City and Wanmu City between was a huge war of attrition.
Originally a stalemate, but now it seemed the entire front line pushed to Wuyi City frontline edge, activity space greatly suppressed.
Su Yan’s Divine Sense stronger, although hurrying glanced over, but obtained much information, ground situation made him slightly frown.
“In Wuyi City our sect besides Martial Uncle Hong Qingyue, are there others?”
“Fuyue Peak Hong Qingyue, Overturning Sea Peak Pang Su, Guizang Valley Shi Jingyi total three Dan Qiao Martial Artists, Junior Brother Hong Qingyue strength highest, already Third Heaven cultivation, Junior Sister Pang Su, Junior Brother Shi Jingyi both Second Heaven cultivation, plus Mountain Guard help, originally also stalemate phase, but after Qing Family support arrived, situation changed.”
“Qing Family Three Brothers all Dan Qiao Martial Artists, even if withdrew some Demonic Path’s Dan Qiao Realm Martial Artists, opposite at least five or six Dan Qiao, these two days Demonic Path crowds gathered, specially attacking Tian Ji Fortress, Cang Cui Mountain camp, both points are Wuyi City spiritual vein extensions, if broken, probably City Protection Grand Formation weakened at least fifty percent.”
City Protection Grand Formation not to mention fifty percent, even if only weakened ten percent, probably could dominate battle outcome.
“Sword One Sect and Nine Peaks Sect what reaction?”
Su Yan suddenly thought of other Righteous Path sects, although Wuyi City Beast King Sect territory, but various sects alliance, facing this situation impossible unmoved.
“Sword One Sect in Sandu City, Nine Peaks Sect in Guiyuan City, all have Demonic Path standoff, also mutually watch Wuyi City, however”
Long Qiushui cold snorted: “They not as fiercely contested as Wuyi City, more waiting.”
Su Yan’s eyes narrowed, all waiting for Poison Dragon Valley opportunity, truly each with own thoughts.
Not only various sects, including Lingnan Prefecture’s Monster Suppressing Guard now not seen acting, unexpectedly only sent people to guard counties and cities under their control, this situation also problematic.
The two using night color directly arrived in Wuyi City, Hong Qingyue learned reinforcements arrived, overjoyed, welcomed to City Lord’s Mansion.
“Senior Sister Long, Nephew Disciple Su, if you not come, probably won’t see me.”
Hong Qingyue was a sallow-faced sturdy man, height fully one point eight nine meters, wearing armor, arms burly like apes, one glance could tell Fuyue Peak origin, body cultivation not bad.
“Their offensive very urgent?”
Long Qiushui slightly frowned, Hong Qingyue poured bitter water: “These two days they surely added more Dan Qiao Realm Martial Artists, although Dan Qiao not yet acted, but True Intent Realm Martial Artists, especially half-step Dan Qiao added several. They act, ordinary Martial Artists not opponents but I and Junior Sister Pang, Junior Brother Shi also dare not rashly act, fear they lure snake out hole, can only guard formation.”
“Casualties how?”
“Mountain Guard casualties three hundred, inner and outer disciples, servant disciples casualties over thousand, if not subordinate forces together holding, this number only bigger, but cannot so consume.”
Hong Qingyue face solemn, he said: “Tomorrow Demonic Sect even more rampant, if another one or two rogue cultivator or small sect Dan Qiao Martial Artists for them to drive, probably Tian Ji Fortress and Cang Cui Mountain may fall.”
Demonic Path offensive increasingly fierce, after probing inevitably more violent general attack.
“Qing Family traitors appeared?”
Long Qiushui tone slightly cold, Hong Qingyue cold hum with anger: “Qing Yunheng showed earlier, but now hiding, battlefield controlling situation are previous two Dan Qiao Martial Artists, Cold Maple Sect Old Ancestor Feng Lingtian, Black Tiger Fortress Old Ancestor Chongshan, these two probably promised heavy rewards, grabbed many resources.”
Qing Family Three Brothers, Feng Lingtian, Chongshan, if plus hidden Dan Qiao Martial Artists, Demonic Path truly gathered many people.
“Demonic Path divided three routes, Wuyi City side restraining our forces, with Qing Yunqian dominant, but he easily not act, mostly consume with Martial Artists. But Tian Ji Fortress, Cang Cui Mountain offensive fierce, afraid will have Dan Qiao clash, and not just one.”
Hong Qingyue said: “Tomorrow Nephew Disciple hold Wuyi City, I and Senior Sister Long split to aid Tian Ji Fortress, Cang Cui Mountain, surprise attack repel their teams, heavily injure Demonic Path crowds, let them powerless to attack, this crisis naturally lifted, how?”
Hong Qingyue not explicitly say, but this arrangement considered Su Yan just breakthrough, probably powerless to clash these veteran Dan Qiao.
Although protective intent, but somewhat distrustful, worry this genius fall on this battlefield.
Long Qiushui glanced at her disciple, Su Yan not speak, just said: “Everything as Martial Uncle arranges.”
Hong Qingyue showed smile, he said: “Wuyi City City Protection Grand Formation powerful, even two Third Heaven Martial Artists simultaneous attack, not necessarily break. We three mutually leave Divine Sense in sect tokens, keep contact, can ensure no mishap. Nephew Disciple just not proactively fight.”
“Thanks Martial Uncle’s care.”
Su Yan showed smile, nodded agreement.
Hong Qingyue again with Long Qiushui detailed said two points’ situations, and opponents’ methods, small half hour passed thus.
Wait until from main courtyard out, two arrived side courtyard position.
Long Qiushui asked: “You plan to take out Qing Yunqian?”
Su Yan although only Second Heaven cultivation, but dharma body dual cultivation, fierce insects quantity enough to play two rounds mahjong, not to mention one Third Heaven, even another probably easily handle.
Now not going two points, instead defaulted Hong Qingyue’s cautious, stay in Wuyi City not his style.
“I just try, but Qing Family always cautious, probably not easily act, unless other reliance.”
“You be careful yourself.”
Long Qiushui instructed, then returned to her courtyard.
While Su Yan side, slightly frowned, he sensed Nangong Hong Yue and Bai Yun’s auras, distance from City Lord’s Mansion surprisingly not far.
He concealed his aura, like a black shadow, left City Lord’s Mansion.
Following sense direction, found a rear alley courtyard.
Rustle rustle rustle
Hidden in dark Blood Bees slightly trembled, Su Yan directly over wall entered, landing in rear yard position.
He released his aura, creak room door immediately pushed open, Nangong Hong Yue, Bai Yun successively came out.
“Lord, you came to Wuyi City?!”
Both delighted, welcomed Su Yan into room, Bai Yun closed room door, Nangong Hong Yue brewed tea.
Three just sat, Nangong Hong Yue then said: “I and Sister Bai Yun found Wind Thunder Insect news. That is Extreme Yin Cavern Xi Junyue’s thing, now person in Wanmu City, connected with Qing Family, in Thousand Cloud Ridge depths probably plotting, just wanting to notify Lord.”
“Thousand Cloud Ridge depths?!”
