Sweeping Through, News Spreads
Boom! In a large city in Western Province, a huge Buddha statue under construction collapsed with a loud crash.
The group of craftsmen looked at the figure in the sky with awe.
They had never seen anyone fly in the sky before.
Could it be that a deity has descended to earth?
In an instant, some common people who believed in gods and Buddhas bowed down in worship.
A young monk, whose aura was at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm, stared in shock at Lu Qing, who was standing on Golden Shuttle in the sky and wearing Ghost Face Mask.
"Which secret realm are you from, sir, that you would dare to play such a joke on my Hanging Sky Mountain?"
"Hanging Sky Mountain Hanging Sky Mountain, that's what I'm going to fight!"
Lu Qing's gaze sharpened, and a condensed blade of energy descended from the sky, slashing directly at the young monk.
The speed and power of its attack startled the young monk.
He wanted to dodge, but it was too late. He could only gather all his Spiritual Power and condense a wall of energy in front of him to block the terrifying blade energy.
However, with a soft sound, his body stiffened, and his eyes gradually became unfocused.
A line of blood appeared on his forehead, gradually spreading until he was split in two and fell to the ground, causing countless screams of terror.
After killing the disciple from Hanging Sky Mountain, Lu Qing didn't even turn his head. He then piloted the Golden Flying Boat, transforming into a streak of light, and flew away into the distance.
However, on the way, Lu Qing fell into deep thought.
Two days have passed since his battle with the gray-robed old monk.
He spent two days cultivating in the cave, and emerged this morning to begin piloting the Golden Shuttle and carrying out his plan.
He raided many cities in Western Province, destroying numerous temples and Buddha statues under construction on the Hanging Sky Mountain. If he encountered Hanging Sky Mountain disciples who resisted, he showed no mercy and killed them directly.
That city was the fourth city Lu Qing had attacked today.
The flying Artifact was indeed extraordinary. After refining the Golden Shuttle, his mobility had undergone a qualitative leap.
It takes less than a day to cross the entire Western Province.
In one morning, he made a daring raid on several major cities' outposts on the Hanging Sky Mountain. In the past, even if he could have done it, the physical and Spiritual Power he would have consumed would have been considerable.
But now, he can do it with ease simply by piloting the Golden Shuttle.
Compared to that, it saved a lot of effort and time.
Everything was going so smoothly; Lu Qing should be happy.
But deep down, he instinctively sensed something was wrong.
He discovered that none of the disciples of the Hanging Sky Mountain stationed in the cities he had raided seemed to know him.
Upon seeing the Golden Shuttle he was piloting, they were merely astonished and had no other reaction, as if they knew nothing about its origins.
This seems quite wrong.
It should be noted that not long ago, he killed Xuan Yi and a group of high-ranking Elder of the Hanging Sky Mountain, including even a Grand Elder like the gray-robed old monk.
Such a commotion should have caused a sensation throughout the entire Hanging Sky Mountain long ago.
But now, the disciples of the several Hanging Sky Mountain Hanging Sky Mountain strongholds he raided seem to know nothing about him.
It was obvious that his killing of the gray-robed old monk had been concealed from the higher-ups of the Hanging Sky Mountain and had not been communicated to the disciples outside.
But what is the purpose of the Hanging Sky Mountain doing this?
They believed that a "senior master" like him would not harm ordinary disciples, so there was no need to notify them.
Or were they worried that it would affect the prestige of Hanging Sky Mountain, so they kept it a secret?
Or perhaps there's some other conspiracy at play? Many thoughts raced through Lu Qing's mind.
But his actions did not change as a result; instead, he propelled the Golden Shuttle beneath his feet even faster.
At the same time, a look of determination appeared on his face.
Regardless of what the purpose of the Hanging Sky Mountain is, he no longer needs to be too wary of it.
If there really is a conspiracy waiting for him ahead, he can simply unleash his trump card and blast it away with his Spirit Artifact.
Lu Qing believed that when that moment truly arrived, the Hanging Sky Mountain side would be even more "surprised" than he was.
With this in mind, Lu Qing continued to raid the strongholds in the Hanging Sky Mountain.
Whenever they see temples or Buddha statues being built, they destroy them without saying a word.
If any disciples of the Hanging Sky Mountain tried to resist, Lu Qing would kill them without hesitation.
Now that a full-scale war has begun with Hanging Sky Mountain, Lu Qing will certainly not show any more mercy.
If they are enemies, they should be killed!
In just one day, Lu Qing swept through most of the Hanging Sky Mountain strongholds in the entire Western Province.
And under his undisguised and extremely high-profile rampage of destruction.
The news could no longer be concealed.
Thus, rumors spread that a mysterious and powerful figure, riding Golden Shuttle and wearing Ghost Face Mask, was destroying the Hanging Sky Mountain strongholds and killing Hanging Sky Mountain disciples.
It began to spread throughout the Western Province and quickly spread to other large states.
"Is everything you're saying true?"
In the Spirit Mountain Range, an old monk, also dressed in a gray robe but with a ruddy complexion, stared expressionlessly at the Red-Robed Monk in front of him.
"It's absolutely true, Grand Elder. That Ghost-Faced Mysterious Man is slaughtering my disciples from Hanging Sky Mountain all over the place."
Most of the disciples we sent out have now perished.
This matter has already spread throughout the entire Western Province, and even other regions have likely received the news.
The Red-Robed Monk reported cautiously.
"I understand, you can go now."
The Red-Faced Old Monk said calmly.
"Yes." The Red-Robed Monk dared not say more and carefully withdrew.
The Red-Faced Old Monk stood there, his expression blank, thinking for a while before finally taking out a jade tablet and activating it with his mind.
A glimmer of light emerged from the jade pendant.
A spiritual energy fluctuation emanated from within. "Red Heart Elder, how is it?"
Just as we guessed, the Ghost Face Man was indeed heading towards our Hanging Sky Mountain.
Today he has reappeared, destroying many of the strongholds we have just established in the Western Province.
Even ordinary disciples were shown no mercy and were all killed.
The Red-Faced Old Monk replied.
"They don't even spare ordinary disciples, so they must have a mortal feud with our Hanging Sky Mountain. How did we provoke such a formidable enemy?"
A different kind of spiritual fluctuation appeared.
Clearly, the jade tablet in the Red-Faced Old Monk's hand was not limited to contacting only one person.
"I don't know either." The Red-Faced Old Monk shook his head. "Ku Rong died too thoroughly; he didn't leave any information behind."
The battlefield was shrouded Tianji chaos, making it impossible to predict the future.
To be honest, I have no idea whether that Ghost Face Man was male or female.
"No need to think about it. To be able to kill Ku Rong in such a short time, that Ghost Face Man must be an old relic like us."
Aside from the old guys in the other secret realms and those three monsters on the Holy Mountain, there couldn't possibly be anyone else!
A surge of divine soul energy emanated from the jade tablet, speaking with unwavering resolve.
"That's right, especially those Daoist priests from Green Goat Temple. They've always been at odds with us, and their grudges against Hanging Sky Mountain are the greatest!"
"But the other major secret regions have only just emerged and are currently managing their own territories. They shouldn't have time to cause us trouble."
"That's the Holy Mountain. Those three monsters have always harbored ulterior motives and are highly suspicious!"
For a moment, the various spiritual fluctuations within the jade tablet began to argue.
