West Province Spirit Mountain, Infiltration, Sudden Murder

"This Western Province has indeed changed a lot. The Hanging Sky Mountain has a grand scheme," Lu Qing exclaimed.

At this moment, he was outside a small town in Western Province, in front of a low mountain peak.

At this time, halfway up the mountain, a large-scale construction project was underway, with Buddhist Temple being built and Buddha statues being carved.

Down the mountain, ordinary people were making a pilgrimage, prostrating themselves with each step, their faces full of piety.

Lu Qing had seen many such scenes along the way.

Although he had never been to Western Province before, he had a general understanding of it.

I know that although there is a tradition of Buddhism here, it should not be as devout as what I see here.

"If this continues, it won't be long before Hanging Sky Mountain will be able to completely control Western Province."

Lu Qing knew all too well the power of faith.

Given the methods employed by the Hanging Sky Mountain, if given more time, it wouldn't be long before they completely control the entire Western Province, making it impregnable.

When they have a free moment, they'll probably try to deal with me.

"These bald monks, even after tens of thousands of years, are still doing the same thing."

Looking at the scene before him, Yan also said, " In the Ancient Cultivation Era, this Western Province was the stronghold of many Buddhist sects."

Unexpectedly, this time, the Hanging Sky Mountain has come out on top.

"That's not necessarily true," Lu Qing said calmly. "Whether Hanging Sky Mountain can regain control of Western Province depends on whether it has the ability."

After saying that, he took Xiao Li and left, continuing on his way.

The temples and Buddha statues here were built by ordinary craftsmen, so Lu Qing naturally wouldn't make things difficult for them.

His goal is not to repeat it.

After leaving that small town, Lu Qing once again used his Spirit Talisman, moving through the mountains and forests like a gentle breeze.

This time, he didn't go anywhere else, but headed straight for the western part of Western Province.

Now that we know about Hanging Sky Mountain's scheme in Western Province, there's no need to do anything else pointless; we should just go straight for the heart of the enemy.

With the blessing of the Spirit Talisman talisman, Lu Qing's speed has already exceeded the range of the Innate Realm.

Half a day later, he arrived at the western part of Western Province.

Looking ahead, Lu Qing saw an endless range of mountains in front of him.

Most striking is a majestic mountain that soars into the clouds, situated on the vast land.

The clouds and mist could only linger around the mountainside, obscuring the scenery above the peaks.

"The Spirit Mountain Range, I should have realized it sooner, this is the entrance to the Secret Realm of the Hanging Sky Mountain."

Lu Qing looked at the magnificent scene before him and silently recited in his heart.

Although this Spirit Mountain Range cannot compare to the vast and majestic, sacred and inviolable Central Province Holy Mountain, it is still a formidable and inviolable sacred mountain range.

But it is also the only vast mountain range he has seen besides the Holy Mountain.

The Ten Thousand Mountains behind Nine Li Village pale in comparison.

"I visited this Spirit Mountain Range once before."

Yan's figure also appeared beside Lu Qing, looking at the misty mountains in front of him with a strange expression in his eyes.

" In the Ancient Cultivation Era, this place was the ancestral home of Buddhism. At that time, the Spirit Mountain Range was much more majestic and awe-inspiring than it is now."

Any practitioner passing through this place must refrain from flying.

Otherwise, it would be seen as a provocation against Buddhism.

"So these bald monks have been this domineering since Ancient Era." Lu Qing chuckled. "As expected, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. The root is like this, so how could it possibly be straightened?"

"Xiao Li, let's go."

The Divine Soul Rune in Lu Qing's brow tremor rippled, and then his aura began to rapidly recede, becoming almost imperceptible.

At the same time, his figure gradually disappeared, eventually vanishing completely.

As for Xiao Li, that's even simpler.

With a mere leap, it slipped into the spatial interlayer, hiding even more thoroughly than Lu Qing.

The Divine Soul Breath Concealment Technique, the Invisibility Talisman.

Seeing Lu Qing use these two methods to completely conceal his figure, Yan was amazed.

Lu Qing knows far too much.

The combined legacy of the Talisman Gate and the Li Fire Sect allowed him to comprehend the Rune Dao in no way inferior to his achievements in body refinement.

Moreover, Lu Qing was much more cautious than it had imagined.

He used Transformation Technique to change his spiritual aura and physical appearance, and put on a mask.

Now we must use the Concealing Breath Technique and the Invisibility Talisman to completely hide our forms.

They were extremely cautious.

For some reason, even Yan felt a little sorry for the Hanging Sky Mountain.

To have provoked such a powerful and extremely cautious enemy, and most importantly, to have such an enemy whose cultivation talent is so strong it's almost heaven-defying.

Add to that a Black Night Spirit Fox, equally elusive and possessing spatial abilities...

Just putting yourself in Yan's shoes makes you feel uneasy.

It could even foresee the tragic fate of the Hanging Sky Mountain.

After concealing themselves, Lu Qing began to lead Xiao Li to sneak towards the Spirit Mountain Range ahead.

Before long, they arrived at the most majestic and towering mountain.

Everything went very smoothly along the way.

The Hanging Sky Mountain Sect has only been around for a short time, and recently they have been busy subduing various sects in the Western Province for their own use.

Before they could even begin the actual construction of the Spirit Mountain Range, and before they could even set up the sect's protective formation, they naturally couldn't detect Lu Qing's whereabouts.

As he approached the majestic mountain, the clamor of voices drifted up from the mountain and reached Lu Qing's ears.

On the mountain, construction was also in full swing, with temples being built and Buddha statues being sculpted.

It was even larger than the projects Lu Qing had seen in other parts of Western Province.

For example, he could see from afar that on a cliff nearly a hundred feet high, many craftsmen with Martial Artist arts skills were carving a brand new, huge Buddha statue.

The Buddha statue's head alone was over ten zhang tall, making it incredibly majestic.

Looking at the huge Buddha statue that was already mostly complete, Lu Qing had an idea and quietly approached it with Xiao Li.

Before long, he arrived at the foot of the hundred-foot cliff and saw several bald monks with fat heads and big ears, dressed in Red Kasaya, standing in front of the cliff.

Lu Qing felt a chill run down his spine upon sensing the aura emanating from the monks.

These bald monks all possessed extremely powerful qi and blood; even the weakest among them was at the Innate Minor Realm.

One of the leading Red-Robed Monk, possessed a harmonious aura that seemed to blend seamlessly with his surroundings.

He was actually a powerful expert at the Innate Realm Completion.

This was the first time Lu Qing had encountered someone at the Innate Realm Completion.

The Third Holy Master I encountered in the Holy City of Central Province doesn't count.

That person used Puppet Avatar at the time. Although it was powerful, it was still quite different from a true Innate Realm Completion.

Moreover, Lu Qing also vaguely sensed that the Red-Robed Monk in the lead, in addition to his powerful blood and qi, also possessed another special aura.

This indicates that the Red-Robed Monk at the head of the group, in addition to his Innate Perfection martial arts cultivation, also practiced other techniques.

Lu Qing immediately activated his Supernatural Ability and looked at it.

A few breaths later, a rich golden light of Supernatural Ability emerged from the Red-Robed Monk at the head of the group.

At the same time, several notes also floated out.

[Mysterious Meaning: The Grand Elder of Suspended Mountain.]

[Cultivation Level: Dual Cultivation of Body and Law, Innate Realm Completion.]

Possessing a rare Buddhist Exotic Treasure, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities, and formidable strength.

Lu Qing then looked at the other bald monks, who, unsurprisingly, were all Elder of the Hanging Sky Mountain.

He was not surprised by this.

According to "Yan", the Four Great Secret Realms forces have been hiding in their Secret Realm for tens of thousands of years.

But in the end, it's nothing more than a prolongation of its existence.

Even Secret Realm are dependent on the main world and cannot completely prevent the penetration of the main world's rules.

Therefore, it is impossible for any too powerful being to be born in the Secret Realm.

That's the highest level, which means the Foundation Establishment Stage is complete.

It is impossible to achieve the Golden Core Realm.

Because in order to condense the Golden Core Foundation Establishment Stage, one must undergo the baptism of Heavenly Tribulation and survive the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

This is a law of cultivation, and no cultivator can violate it.

Within the Secret Realm, it is impossible to condense Heavenly Tribulation, so it is impossible for someone to reach the Golden Core Realm.

It was precisely because he understood the secrets of this cultivation that Lu Qing dared to come to Western Province alone to cause trouble for the Hanging Sky Mountain.

Possessing Spirit Artifact, even if he couldn't defeat Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, he was confident he could escape unscathed.

"Great Elder, Chan Xin has sent word that the Iron Sword Sect in the south has also agreed to submit and acknowledge our Hanging Sky Mountain as their master."

Just as Lu Qing finished using his Supernatural Ability to gather information, a bald monk in front of him spoke.

"Very good. With the Iron Sword Sect Sect's submission, Western Province has once again completely returned to the control of our Hanging Sky Mountain."

Xuan Yi nodded in satisfaction.

"Hmph! If it weren't for the fact that the cost of opening a Secret Realm is too high when spiritual energy is depleted, making it inconvenient for us to enter and exit.

How could Western Province be tainted by such filth and chaos! It is their blessing to be able to convert to Buddhism!

Another monk in Red-Robed Monk sneered.

"Junior Brother, don't be angry. It is precisely because people are stubborn that they need the guidance of the Buddha. This is also a kind of spiritual practice for us."

Xuan Yi offered words of comfort.

"Senior Brother Xuan Yi, now that Western Province has returned to the Buddhist sect's fold, what should we do about the other matter the abbot mentioned?"

"Junior Brother, are you referring to the Evil Demon that killed Junior Brother Xuan Ming and the others?"

When Lu Qing heard the others mention him, his heart stirred.

"Indeed, Senior Brother Xuan Yi, do you think the information that Avici Pavilion gathered a few days ago is trustworthy?" a Red-Robed Monk asked.

"The Avici Pavilion wouldn't dare to deceive us. If they want to continue their lineage, they'll have to see if my Hanging Sky Mountain will show them mercy."

Even if they had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn't dare to have any wicked thoughts.

Moreover, when the Avici Pavilion came to report that day, my ' Hui Xin ' did not detect that he was lying.

After pondering for a moment, Xuan Yi spoke.

"So, what Avici Pavilion said about having discovered the location of that Evil Demon's hidden cultivation place is true?"

"It shouldn't be too bad."

"I never expected that Evil Demon would come from such a remote state as Cang Province. No wonder it's a remote place that breeds Evil Demon! Senior Brother Xuan Yi, the abbot and the Grand Elder have given orders to capture that Evil Demon and convert him to their own use. When shall we set off?"

"There's no rush. That Evil Demon is a person with Destiny Fortune and has even survived the Heavenly Tribulation."

Their strength is no less than yours or mine.

To capture him alive, we need to plan carefully and strategize thoroughly.

After the construction of Mount Ling is completed and the Mountain Protecting Array is set up, we will proceed with our plans gradually.

Xuan Yi said slowly.

Lu Qing, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately understood what was going on when he heard this.

The assassin from the Avici Pavilion who escaped from his master's flying sword at the Wei Residence that day eventually returned safely to the Hanging Sky Mountain Secret Realm.

The information they had gathered was also reported to the Hanging Sky Mountain.

He was somewhat relieved that he had arrived ahead of schedule this time.

Otherwise, once the situation in Western Province is truly stabilized at Hanging Sky Mountain and a protective formation is in place, it will be very difficult for him to sneak in quietly.

At that point, we'll be left with no choice but to passively take the beating.

After all, he could leave at any time, but the villagers of Nine Li Village and the Wei Clan would suffer.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing's killing intent suddenly surged.

He could tell from their conversation just now.

Sure enough, there are still experts hiding in the Secret Realm of Hanging Sky Mountain.

Those so-called presiding officials and Grand Elder must be powerful cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage or above.

However, right now, the most powerful beings in this Spirit Mountain Range should be these few Red-Robed Monk.

Especially Xuan Yi, who is the leader. Since he is called the Great Elder, he must be the leader of this emergence of Hanging Sky Mountain.

Once we kill it, it should be enough to keep the Hanging Sky Mountain in chaos for a while.

Despite the murderous intent that filled his heart, Lu Qing's gaze grew increasingly calm.

He first used Divine Sense Transmission to give Xiao Li a few instructions.

Then, he quietly took out his War Blade from the Universe Qi Bag.

His figure moved silently and stealthily toward the Red-Robed Monk.

Just as Lu Qing was about ten feet away from the group, he saw Xuan Yi's expression suddenly change, and he looked in his direction with surprise and uncertainty.

Lu Qing's mind raced, and he immediately realized that his presence had been exposed.

His mind raced, and without a second thought, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from his body. A dazzling blade of light flashed from him, sweeping across the group of people in front of him! "Who goes there!"

The Red-Robed Monk were all Innate Realm- level experts.

They sensed Lu Qing's aura as soon as it erupted.

Immediately, all the monks were greatly alarmed.

They never expected that someone could get so close to them without them noticing! However, what shocked them even more was the blade of light that Lu Qing unleashed.

It was extremely refined and unparalleled in power. Just sensing it made all the monks' hair stand on end, their scalps tingle, and a bone-chilling coldness rise from the depths of their hearts.

"Get out of the way!"

In the blink of an eye, all the monks responded in their own way.

Some tried to use their agility to avoid the flashing blades.

Some of them had a glow appearing on their bodies, trying to withstand the sword Body Protection Aura, which they had painstakingly cultivated.

Others instantly produced short staffs they carried with them, and went to meet the flashing blades.

Only Xuan Yi, whose cultivation was the most profound, changed his expression drastically the moment he sensed the blade's light, and shouted loudly for everyone to get away.

However, it was too late.

The blade light that Lu Qing unleashed was incredibly swift.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of the group of monks.

Then it swept past them and flew toward the cliff behind them.

Finally, he cut a deep, bottomless gash into the cliff face before stopping.

Boom!

With a roar as the blade struck the cliff, several streams of blood splattered.
