Qin Jiuge—What Is He Trying to Do?

Although the other Sequences paid lip service to their refusal to accept Qin Lang, at a time like this, they still tacitly deferred to him.

After all, whether in strength or intellect, Qin Lang was among the finest of the Qin Family's younger generation.

With so many demon beasts lurking around them, listening to Qin Lang was the safest course.

Under Qin Lang's arrangements, the various Sequences and their followers concealed themselves behind a cliff, observing the demon beast horde below.

As far as the eye could see, they discovered to their astonishment that there were far more demon beasts than they had imagined!

Aside from the group of demon beasts they had tailed here, more were rushing in from every direction.

The mountains and plains were blanketed with demon beasts running and flying madly, kicking up clouds of dust that filled the sky.

Even stranger, these demon beasts seemed not to see them at all. Even when they passed close by, they showed no intention of attacking, simply racing past them.

Judging by their numbers, there were no fewer than a thousand demon beasts, sealing off this entire area so tightly that not even water could pass through.

Everyone was deeply alarmed.

At the same time, their hearts began to burn with excitement.

What kind of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could draw so many demon beasts swarming here?

If they could obtain such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures... just how much would their strength improve?

Qin Lang and the other Sequences looked ahead.

They saw over a thousand demon beasts clustered around a cliff, their gazes fixed firmly upon the cliff opposite them.

Following the demon beasts' stares, Qin Lang and the various Sequences saw a medicinal herb emitting specks of starlike light.

The eyes of the various Sequences immediately lit up...

Was this herb the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that had triggered such a massive Beast Riot?

But why did it look so ordinary? It did not have that overflowing spiritual aura one would expect from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures...

Then why were these demon beasts so infatuated with this herb?

"Fools! That's Soul Guiding Grass!"

"Damn it! Why would something like that be here?!"

Qin Lang's furious voice rang out beside the various Sequences.

His expression had turned somewhat cold and severe as well.

Had he known it was Soul Guiding Grass, why would he have taken such a huge risk to follow the demon beasts here?

"Soul Guiding Grass?"

The other Sequences were somewhat dumbfounded upon hearing the name...

As the Five Great Sequences of the Qin Family's younger generation, they were naturally no strangers to Soul Guiding Grass.

This herb was not particularly rare, much less worthy of being called Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

It merely held considerable allure for demon beasts.

But why Soul Guiding Grass?

According to what they knew, Soul Guiding Grass had extremely particular growing conditions. Under normal circumstances, it could not possibly appear here...

Yet it was indeed rooted there...

What was going on?

The only explanation was that someone had placed it here!

But in the Secret Realm, other than the Five Great Sequences and their followers, there was no one else... Who would place Soul Guiding Grass here?

What benefit was there in luring over a huge group of demon beasts?

Besides, weren't all of them here?

Suddenly, Qin Yu of the Fifth Sequence swept his gaze across the crowd and shouted, word by word, "It must be him—Qin. Jiuge!"

The bodies of the other three Sequences jolted violently.

That was right, Qin Jiuge!

Among the Five Great Sequences and their followers, everyone except Qin Jiuge was here!

If you enjoy this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't have trouble finding it next time.

Could this Soul Guiding Grass really have been placed by Qin Jiuge?

Earlier, Qin Jiuge had entered the Secret Realm alone without bringing any followers. The various Sequences had greatly lowered their guard against him, believing he posed no threat at all.

Who would have thought that Qin Jiuge had quietly caused such a huge commotion!

But what was his purpose in doing this?

Lure the demon beasts here and wipe them all out in one sweep?

The few exchanged looks and swiftly dismissed the thought.

What a joke!

Not to mention Qin Jiuge, a mere Spirit Sea Realm cultivator—even if he were in the Dharma Aspect Realm, he still could not possibly wipe out so many demon beasts in one go!

Even Qin Lang, at the Dharma Aspect Second Layer, did not believe he could accomplish such a thing!

As the Five Great Sequences of the Qin Family's younger generation, they knew the situation within the Secret Realm like the backs of their hands.

Not only were there countless demon beasts here, but quite a few of them possessed formidable strength as well!

There were no fewer than three demon beasts at the Dharma Aspect Seventh Layer alone!

"Could it be... that Qin Jiuge wanted to lure us over, have the demon beasts tie us down, and then go hunt the straggling demon beasts himself?"

Qin Qing'er's beautiful eyes shone with disbelief, her tone brimming with astonishment.

"That must be it!"

Qin Lang viciously slapped a massive boulder beside him. In an instant, shattered stones flew everywhere.

"This Qin Jiuge does have some schemes..."

Qin Qing'er rested her delicate jade hand beneath her chin, deep in thought.

Qin Jiuge's plan this time could truly be called sinister and cunning.

He had used the Soul Guiding Grass to lure the demon beasts over, while making them believe there was some precious treasure here and drawing them in as well. Then, he would use the demon beasts to hold them back while he went off to hunt the stragglers. It was absolutely a brilliant plan!

"Hmph!"

"So what if he has a few schemes? Before absolute strength, they are nothing to fear!"

Qin Lang gritted his teeth and turned to leave.

Since there were no Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures here, there was no need for him to remain. It would be better to wait until the Soul Guiding Grass's effects faded before hunting demon beasts!

The other Great Sequences exchanged glances, each seeing the desire to leave in the others' eyes.

Since there were no Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures here, and they could not hunt demon beasts either, there was no need to waste time in this place.

Qin Jiuge could take the opportunity to hunt straggling demon beasts. Why couldn't they?

However, just as they were about to leave.

Qin Jiuge's figure slowly emerged from within the cliff.

The moment they saw Qin Jiuge appear, the Great Sequences were instantly bewildered...

Had they guessed wrong?

Qin Jiuge had not used the Soul Guiding Grass to take the chance to hunt straggling demon beasts?

But... he had lured so many demon beasts here at once, yet he was not leaving. What was his purpose?

Could it be that he truly intended to seize this opportunity to wipe out all these demon beasts?

That was simply a fantasy from the heavens!

Still unable to make heads or tails of it, they stared fixedly at Qin Jiuge, wanting to see what medicine he was selling in his gourd!

As though he had not seen them at all, Qin Jiuge stepped directly forward!

Then, the aura around him erupted completely!

The cultivation of the Dharma Aspect First Layer surged outward.

Seeing Qin Jiuge release such an astonishing aura, the other Great Sequences could not help but inwardly shudder.

Qin Jiuge had actually broken through into the Dharma Aspect Realm?

But judging by his aura, he was at most at the Dharma Aspect First Layer.

There was absolutely no way he could kill so many demon beasts in one go...
