The Peach Miasma Mountain Range is located north of Qingyuan Market. The undulating mountain range resembles a giant dragon lying down, and dark red peach blossom miasma permeates the area, as if covering the mountain range with a dark red light shield.
The miasma here has accumulated for countless years and has a bewitching effect. Anyone who enters and inhales the miasma will gradually lose their mind and eventually become trapped inside, unable to escape.
Furthermore, the peach miasma can also obscure perception; even if Divine Ability Master were to enter, their Primordial Qi perception would be limited to an extremely short range.
Therefore, the Peach Mountain Band established their stronghold here and operated for many years, taking advantage of the location to avoid being besieged by the surrounding towns and cities on many occasions.
When Lu Ming arrived at the Peach Miasma Mountain Range under Lu Jin's guidance, three hours had already passed.
"Is this the Peach Miasma Mountain Range? The miasma here is so thick!"
The two landed on a small hill outside the mountain range. Lu Ming looked at the mountain range in front of him. At this time, dawn was breaking and the world was gradually brightening. Therefore, Lu Ming could clearly see that in this endless mountain range, the thick dark red miasma was flowing like waves.
"In the Peach Miasma Mountain Range, there grows a large number of ' Soul-Bewitching Peach Tree.' Whenever these trees bear fruit, the peaches release wisps of Soul-Bewitching Peach Miasma. Over time, this miasma condenses and becomes a dangerous place that everyone avoids."
Lu Jin was also gazing at the Peach Miasma Mountain Range. He then activated his Primordial Qi, connecting with the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to form a perception that spread into the Peach Miasma Mountain Range. However, he quickly withdrew it, saying helplessly, "My Primordial Qi perception becomes difficult to spread once it touches this Peach Blossom Miasma."
"I think that to completely ignore these peach blossom miasma, we'll probably need Nether Spirit Master to intervene."
The so-called Nether Spirit Master is naturally the final realm of the Divine Ability Master, the Nether Spirit Realm.
"Try using ' Golden Pupil '. If that doesn't work, we'll have to go back and figure out how to deal with this menace later," Lu Jin said.
Lu Ming nodded, and with a thought, golden light began to gather in his eyes, turning his pupils golden.
As the Golden Pupil appeared, Lu Ming immediately saw that the dark red peach miasma that had previously obstructed his vision and perception was rapidly fading and eventually disappeared completely from his sight.
Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud. Who would have thought that the ability he obtained from the Golden Pupil Spirit Fish would have such a surprising effect in the Peach Miasma Mountain Range?
"It worked?" Upon hearing Lu Ming's laughter, Lu Jin's tense expression relaxed, and a smile appeared on his aged face.
Lu Ming nodded vigorously.
"I saw it very clearly! Grandpa, it seems that today is the day Guo Kui should be executed."
Lu Ming was very excited. Only by eliminating Guo Kui completely could they sleep peacefully.
Lu Jin also burst into laughter, gently ruffling Lu Ming's hair with a contented expression, and praised, "You little rascal, you're truly a lucky star for the Lu Clan!"
These words truly came from Lu Jin's heart. Ever since Lu Ming awakened his Divine Ability Bone, good news had been constantly coming from the family. Take this bloody battle, for example. If Lu Ming hadn't first healed Lu Jin, removed his hidden injuries, and restored his condition, given Lu Jin's cautious nature, he would never have risked everything to go out of the city and fight the infamous Peach Mountain Band.
"Let's go into the mountains and wipe them out completely!"
Lu Jin grabbed Lu Ming's shoulder again, Divine Ability Feather Robe robe stirred up Thunderfire Primordial Qi, carrying him directly into the Peach Miasma Mountain Range at low altitude.
A thick miasma of peach blossoms surged in, engulfing the two figures. They hadn't flown far when Lu Jin felt disoriented and quickly lowered her altitude, clicking her tongue in amazement, "This miasma is truly bizarre."
" A-Ming, which way?"
Lu Ming's eyes flashed with golden light. He pointed in a direction and said, "Go this way. There are mountains blocking the way over there."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin immediately activated his Divine Ability Feather Robe and flew towards the direction Lu Ming pointed. At the same time, Thunderfire Primordial Qi spread from his Feather Robe, forming a light shield that also protected Lu Ming.
The two then searched the vast Peach Miasma Mountain Range, stopping and starting as they went, looking for the lair of the Peach Mountain Band.
Lu Jin was completely disoriented and lost his sense of direction. If it weren't for Lu Ming guiding him, he would have already fled the mountain range.
Fortunately, good news arrived an hour later.
"Found it!"
Lu Ming's joyful exclamation jolted Lu Jin awake. He raised his eyes and flew forward in the direction Lu Ming pointed for several minutes. Then, to his delight, he saw a huge light barrier appear on the mountainside ahead, where the dense peach blossom miasma had gathered.
It was a Divine Ability Restriction that prevented the influx of peach blossom miasma, and within the light barrier, the outline of a manor could be seen.
Within the manor, there are many houses, and figures can be vaguely seen moving about.
Clearly, this must be the lair of the Peach Mountain Band hidden in the Peach Miasma Mountain Range!
Lu Jin laughed, but his smile revealed a strong killing intent. He fluttered his Thunderfire Feather Robe and quietly led Lu Ming to the manor, then placed him in a safe place.
"Stay here and don't move. I'll signal you when I've cleaned it up," Lu Jin reminded him.
There are still some Peach Mountain Band in this manor. Although they are not a threat, there is no need to put Lu Ming at risk.
Lu Ming nodded and said, "Grandpa, be careful."
"Don't worry, I've already sensed Guo Kui's Primordial Qi fluctuations. This guy has been fleeing for his life, repeatedly using those secret techniques that consume his essence and life force, and he's extremely weak now," Lu Jin said with a smile.
"Grandpa will handle the rest."
Lu Jin said something, then first flew low into the air. After getting far away from Lu Ming's hiding place, he suddenly let out a thunderous roar, and a surge of killing intent rose into the sky.
" Guo Kui, do you think you can escape?!"
boom!
Lu Jin seemed to transform into a meteorite of thunder and fire, smashing through the Divine Ability Restriction that isolated the miasma and rushing into the manor.
This Divine Ability Restriction had no protective power; it could only isolate miasma. Therefore, it was easily crushed by Lu Jin. With the shattering of the Divine Ability Restriction, the miasma that had been blocked from the outside world for many years suddenly surged in.
The entire resort instantly descended into chaos.
" Lu Jin, that old bastard, how did he manage to find his way here?!"
When Lu Jin rushed into the manor, Guo Kui, who was resting in a secret room, was terrified, his eyes filled with disbelief. He never imagined that Lu Jin could break through the peach miasma and find this place.
At this moment, with his last trump card stripped away, Guo Kui truly felt that disaster was imminent.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately activated his remaining Primordial Qi, lifted his Divine Ability Feather Robe to cover his mutilated body, and transformed into a bloody light, quietly darting towards the back of the manor.
boom!
However, just as he rushed out of the secret chamber, a deafening roar of thunder came from above. The next moment, a thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck his body hard.
ah!
Guo Kui screamed in agony, spitting out blood. His body, already on the verge of collapse, could no longer hold on. His Divine Ability Feather Robe dissipated, and he crashed heavily to the ground.
"Wait!" Guo Kui called out hurriedly.
But what responded to him was a series of extremely violent Thunderfire Primordial Qi.
Boom!
In a short while, Guo Kui was blasted into a blackened charcoal, barely alive, with no strength left to resist.
Lu Jin then appeared, but he ignored Guo Kui for the time being. Instead, he left the manor, found Lu Ming, brought him to his side, and then they returned to the manor together.
"Wow, is this charcoal the leader of the Peach Mountain Band?" Lu Ming couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the black, charcoal-like figure before him.
"Coke" barely opened his eyes, glanced at Lu Ming, and a hoarse voice came out. "Tell me, how did you get through the Peach Blossom Miasma?"
"Then you have to tell me first, who ordered you to deal with our Thunderfire Hall? Fan Li said it wasn't Lin Changkong?" Lu Ming asked.
Guo Kui remained silent for a few moments, then suddenly burst into a shrill laugh, filled with deep sarcasm.
"He's right. Lin Changkong wasn't the mastermind. On the contrary, I was the one who approached him and cooperated with him, and he provided the intelligence."
Lu Jin and Lu Ming exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised. It really wasn't Lin Changkong?!
"Who ordered you to do this?" Lu Jin asked in a low voice.
Guo Kui's laughter grew increasingly grating, and finally, he slowly opened his mouth.
You'd never guess.
"The person who offered me an irresistible deal and demanded that I destroy the Thunderfire Hall, he wasn't Lin Changkong, but your once most beloved disciple Lu Jin..."
" Zhang Yue."
