Chapter 147: Xu Qing

Daoji Ancestral Land.

The Guangxue Sect’s flame mark released by Xu Qing attracted more than a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators in just half a day.

Xu Qing did not enter the secret realm alone this time; she was accompanied by several Junior Sisters and Junior Brothers. As the senior sister of the Guangxue Sect, it was her duty to take care of them in the secret realm. However, as time passed, Xu Qing silently counted the names on the roster. Only one hundred and fifty-six cultivators had arrived.

The Daoji Ancestral Land is not a very large secret realm, and it is not too dangerous. The range of the mark she released nearly covered the entire Daoji Ancestral Land. But so far, only these one hundred and fifty-six people have arrived. The cultivators still on the way are probably few and far between. Those who have not arrived are likely to have met with misfortune.

Xu Qing stood under a tree, closed her eyes, and breathed deeply, her brows becoming increasingly furrowed.

Her Junior Brothers and Sisters were fortunate to have arrived here at the first release of the flame mark. They are now taking down the names of these cultivators and asking them to show something that can prove their identity. After all... the possibility of the brutal evil cultivator sneaking into the crowd cannot be ruled out.

Xu Qing saw Mo Wanqiu at noon.

Xu Qing is the holy maiden of the Guangxue Sect, while Mo Wanqiu is the holy maiden of the Tingyu Sect. Both belong to the Aolai Continent, and their sects are not far apart, but their relationship is not good. Xu Qing does not like Mo Wanqiu’s frivolous and enchanting demeanor, and her reputation within her own sect is not good either. Rumors say she has been involved with many male disciples.

Xu Qing had some minor frictions with Mo Wanqiu over some matters before, but now with a common enemy, they naturally could not care about these things. Xu Qing stood up to greet Mo Wanqiu and approached her,

“Did you see any corpses drained by the evil cultivator on the way?”

“I saw a few.”

Mo Wanqiu answered indifferently, and it was then that Xu Qing noticed the man behind Mo Wanqiu, or rather, a teenager. The teenager looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a handsome appearance.

However, when their eyes met, Xu Qing felt a bit uncomfortable.

His gaze was somewhat... greedy.

Over the years, because of her appearance, Xu Qing had seen many such gazes that made her uncomfortable, but she had become accustomed to it and did not think much of it.

“Who is he?”

Xu Qing asked softly.

“I met this little casual cultivator on the way and brought him along.”

Mo Wanqiu replied indifferently, and the casual cultivator immediately showed a smile,

“Fairy sister, hello, my name is Mo Dan, a casual cultivator from Linglong Continent. I came to Daoji Ancestral Land seeking a Core Formation opportunity... but encountered the evil cultivator wreaking havoc. Luckily, I met Sister Mo on the way, and she brought me along.”

Xu Qing nodded slightly.

She no longer paid attention to Mo Dan but looked at Mo Wanqiu again,

“If we encounter danger... I hope to borrow your Thundercloud Cauldron.”

Mo Wanqiu nodded with a smile, “Sure.”

Xu Qing’s gaze returned to the crowd. The people gathered in this dense forest were already too mixed, and most of them were discussing the matter of the evil cultivator.

However, there was not much worry on their faces. After all, this secret realm only allows Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators to enter, and now more than a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators are gathered here.

Are they still afraid of an evil cultivator who only knows how to ambush?

Xu Qing walked back under the tree and sat down cross-legged. When she closed her eyes, strands of spiritual energy emerged from around her. She was constructing a barrier to protect everyone, even taking out tens of thousands of spirit stones and laying them in front of her.

The moment the tens of thousands of spirit stones were taken out, many casual cultivators’ eyes went wide. Fortunately, her Junior Brothers and Sisters immediately stood in front of her to protect her.

Mo Wanqiu sat down not far from her, chatting softly with Mo Dan about something, and Mo Dan’s eyes also looked at Xu Qing under the tree.

Guangxue Mountain’s Senior Sister Xu Qing is the dream fairy of countless disciples in Aolai Continent, with talent and appearance unparalleled in Aolai Continent. She is currently at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and most casual cultivators in Aolai Continent also know that she has been suppressing her cultivation for a long time because she also wants to condense a heavenly dao spirit pill.

However, she has tempered her physical body to an extremely terrifying degree. Not long ago, she had just won against a Nascent Soul mid-stage Senior Brother in the sect competition with her Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivation.

Mo Dan had also heard that rumor, and he was very happy about it.

If so, then she should be able to play for a long time without breaking.

......

Mo Dan’s age is just like his appearance; he is indeed seventeen years old this year. When he entered this secret realm, he did not hide or change his appearance because there was no need to do so for a group of dead people.

Mo Dan’s cultivation journey started at the age of six when he was also taken up by an immortal from his sect and began cultivating from the outer sect. Unfortunately, his cultivation journey was not so smooth. Before the age of fourteen, he was just an ordinary outer disciple.

His sect was not one of the big ones, and the rules were not so strict, so the disciples were naturally not so harmonious. He had been bullied countless times in the outer sect and was once beaten so badly for his stubborn personality that he lay in bed for several months without anyone visiting him.

But after the age of fourteen, he was extremely lucky.

That year, he entered a secret realm and obtained an opportunity within it. The moment he obtained that opportunity, he saw all the memories of the previous Refining Yin Demon Venerable as if in a fast-forward montage.

At that time, the weak Refining Yin Demon Gu was in front of him, so fragile that even a three-year-old child could crush it to death.

Whether to destroy this future potential calamity, the Refining Yin Demon Gu, on the spot, or to coexist with it and later enjoy endless glory, easily stepping into the ninth realm and becoming an Immortal Venerable, even a fool would know how to choose.

So he integrated the Yin Refining Gu into himself, and under the guidance of the Gu spirit, he left his sect to find the remnants of the legacy left by the previous Refining Yin Demon Venerable.

Within just three years, his cultivation had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment was not because that was his limit, but rather the Yin Refining Gu informed him that to ensure a smooth path in his future cultivation, he must lay a solid foundation. He only needed to blood sacrifice the essence, blood, and flesh of two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators to create a Chaotic Blood Body for himself. For this, he had been planning meticulously for three full months.

And Mo Wanqiu was the target he had set his sights on a year ago.

A year earlier, he had quietly infiltrated the same secret realm as Mo Wanqiu, effortlessly killing the several Core Formation stage servants protecting her. Even as Mo Wanqiu knelt and begged for mercy, pleading bitterly, and even stripping down to please him... Mo Dian still planted the Hehuan Gu in her.

The effect of the Hehuan Gu was simple: when he activated the Gu, he could make the victim suffer as much as he desired. When the Gu poison flared up, Mo Wanqiu writhed on the ground, her screams like those of a wicked ghost trapped in the eighteenth layer of hell, her nails scratching her skin, almost tearing her own flesh apart, all in hopes that Mo Dian would end her life quickly. But Mo Dian just smiled, sitting aside and watching her for a long, long time, until she was tormented to the point of losing her sanity completely, then he activated another ability of the Hehuan Gu.

In an instant, Mo Wanqiu felt as if she had ascended to the clouds, all her pain seemingly vanishing in a moment.

In just three hours... she willingly became Mo Dian’s dog.

This was the first time Mo Dian used the Hehuan Gu, and its terrifying effect excited him to the brink of madness.

Who would have thought that the revered saintess of the Tingyu Sect would obediently crawl at his feet like a dog, shaking her hips and allowing him to trample and humiliate her?

Mo Dian’s long-suppressed desires were nearly vented on Mo Wanqiu for three days and nights until he grew tired of her and finally kicked her away.

This time, coming to the Daoji Ancestral Land, he had only two goals: one was to collect nourishment for his Chaotic Blood Body, and the other was to bring Xu Qing of Guangxue Mountain under his command as well.

It took him a full three months to refine another Hehuan Gu, but now he was hesitating...

His hesitation was not due to fear but because he remembered the scene he saw last night through the vision of the Red Worm Gu—a man and a woman.

The woman’s face and figure were also top-notch, but he only had one Hehuan Gu.

Should he use it on Xu Qing or on that woman?

Planting the Hehuan Gu would allow him to play for a long, long time, but if he didn’t, after these seven days... he would have to kill them.

Mo Dian was troubled by this for a long time, and now his gaze quietly fell on Xu Qing sitting under the tree.

Xu Qing, in her gray Taoist robe, still couldn’t hide her ethereal and celestial temperament.

Mo Dian sighed softly, deciding to choose Xu Qing... After all, she was the saintess of Guangxue Mountain, and he might need her in the future.

Mo Dian looked around at everyone with particular glee. He was not in a hurry to make a move at this moment.

Although killing these hundred or so people wouldn’t take much time, there were still thirty or so who had not yet arrived. It would be too troublesome to hunt them down one by one later.

He really adored Xu Qing. If it weren’t for his use of the Guangxue Sect’s flame mark, he would have had to spend a lot of time manipulating the Gu to kill them one by one, and there might even be fish that slipped through the net. But Xu Qing easily gathered everyone together with her charisma.

Now, he just needed to wait for nightfall. When everyone arrived in this dense forest, he would only need to make a slight move, and no one would be able to escape.

Mo Dian’s eyes couldn’t help but sweep over Xu Qing’s snow-white neck. He licked his lips lightly, brought his fingertips to his lips, and gently bit them, then managed to suppress his impatient mood slightly.

......

When Jiang Huai arrived at the gathering place again, it was noon.

He passed through the crowd and came to Xu Qing, who was drawing a spirit formation. She was drawing a protective formation that consumed nearly ten thousand spirit stones, which could even block a late-stage Nascent Soul once activated.

To most people, this seemed like overkill, but they were especially grateful to Xu Qing, after all, she was paying for the spirit stones and didn’t ask anyone for a penny.

Xu Qing had only finished half of the formation when Jiang Huai sat down opposite her, and she opened her eyes.

“It’s you,” Xu Qing said with a hint of surprise in her eyes and brows.

“Yes, what a coincidence,” Jiang Huai nodded lightly.

It had been several years since they had seen each other, and Xu Qing gave him a complex look,

“Are you here to compete with me for the heavenly spiritual energy again?”

“Not this time. I’m accompanying my Dao companion to find her heavenly spiritual energy. I’m crippled, have you heard about it?”

“I have.”

“The news has spread that far, huh?”

Jiang Huai scratched his head. His spiritual energy was very weak, and it was difficult for him to transmit sound with spiritual energy. After hesitating for a moment, he leaned slightly closer to Xu Qing,

“I have something to tell you.”

“Speak, I’m listening.”

“There are too many people here... it’s not convenient. Can we step aside to talk?”

Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, then stood up and pointed to a stream in the distance,

“Let’s go there.”

“Okay.”
