Longevity: Starting from Refining Gu-Chapter 245 - 155: Hu Yao’s Strange Road to Kingship_2

Compared to certain descendants that they didn't even recognize, the emergence of a new king far exceeded their value.

This could even significantly alter the landscape of the entire world.

Did Ji Dang want to become the next Peacock King?

Chen Qing was slightly intrigued upon hearing this.

King Grade Gu had the strongest power, the Six Dao Ghosts.

It indeed matched perfectly with his Fatian Xiangdi technique.

Fatian Xiangdi could enhance his strength several times over!

And, this was likely his only chance to obtain a King Grade Gu, besides his own Lifebound Light Butterfly.

The Elephant King Scripture could only subjugate a King Grade sword Gu, merely suppressing it, not forming a covenant.

Moreover, Chen Qing didn't consider himself capable of suppressing a King Grade sword Gu.

The starting point of a King Grade Gu had never been about a few turns of Gu evolutions; it was quite possible that it would emerge at the Harmonization Stage or even higher!

Only upon hearing this did Chen Qing begin to take things seriously.

Bidding farewell to Si Zhao, Chen Qing removed the Golden Ghost Mask, absorbed it within himself, and went straight out to find Zhang Can.

"Zhang," he said, "I need to leave for a few days, you stay here, oversee things, and welcome those Foundation Establishment cultivators who come to join us!"

Zhang Can had been busy with these matters for the past few days as well. He knew Chen Qing was backed by the Jiguang Sect and assumed Chen Qing was going to attend to some secret affairs.

He didn't inquire further, "Understood, with me here, you don't need to worry."

After meeting once more with the Foundation Establishment cultivators who had come to seek refuge, Chen Qing left, walking a mere hundred miles under the night sky when he relied on his keen perception to discover a Foundation Establishment Evil Ghost.

In this serene mountain and river setting, Chen Qing stood before a waterfall and loudly declared, "If you don't come out within ten breaths, I will annihilate your Divine Soul!"

As the headless rider on a skeletal warhorse, clad in armor, emerged from the mercury-like waterfall, Chen Qing opened his hand and seized him.

Immediately, he took out a pot and transformed the rider into a black fish to put into the pot.

After drinking the fish soup, Chen Qing felt a fleeting dizziness before releasing the rider.

The headless rider's resentment dissipated, and he felt a deep sense of relief, gaining a tranquility he hadn't experienced in decades.

"Thank you, Lord Yinsi, for helping me escape the Sea of Suffering!"

Chen Qing commanded, "Go, deliver the order throughout the Nanli Wu Country, all Foundation Establishment Evil Ghosts are to come to the Dao Origin Land to pay respect to me."

"Within six months, anyone who doesn't come, if I encounter them again, they will be annihilated!"

"You should know, once the Divine Weapon Treasure Realm fully descends, without my protection, you are all doomed to perish within!"

"Hurry, they have a slim chance of survival!"

Receiving the order, the headless rider swiftly headed to the hideouts of the Foundation Establishment Evil Ghosts he was familiar with.

Other cultivators, this headless rider might struggle against, but in front of Chen Qing, he felt as though facing a natural enemy, unable to muster any thoughts of resistance.

If it came to wartime potential, he was the Master of Evil Ghosts, Chen Qing feared no one.

However, relying on just Zhang Can and Yan Bailiang, they ultimately couldn't suppress the larger tribes.

He needed a force stronger than the numerous major tribes.

And these Foundation Establishment Evil Ghosts were the best choice.

Since he had decided to fight, he would strive for a flourishing era!

After walking only thirty miles, he glanced at the moonlight; it was already midnight.

Chen Qing took out the bronze ghost mask and put it on, preparing to attend this gathering.

After the usual greetings, Xu Yaofeng and Murong Lang inquired about the cultivation of Gu, prompting Chen Qing to accept another twelve Spiritual Pearls, and they began chatting.

Ji Ru glanced around, "I've been quite busy recently, searching for the Three-year Cicada Dao item, without much information."

"However, I feel like Ji Dang is no longer in the Imperial Palace but has gone elsewhere."

"Very possibly, Ji Dang went out to contact various Da Yan families."

Xu Yaofeng stated, "The situation in the Death Realm is currently stable, with Da Yan and the Dragon Palace's forces withdrawing and keeping their doors shut."

"Looking at them now, it seems they are waiting for Ji Dang to enter the Death Realm."

"They seem to want to preserve their strength."

Ji Ru asked, "Could Dragon Palace's Ghost Face Realm be completely eradicated?"

Xu Yaofeng shook his head, "It's not that simple."

"After all, it's an ancient dragon; even though I have means to restrain it, it continues to hole up, leaving me with few options."

Hu Yao commented surprisingly, "The Ji Dang you mentioned seems to be in the West Desert."

Xu Yaofeng and Ji Ru were both shocked, Xu Yaofeng asked, "How do you know?"

Hu Yao responded awkwardly, "Ran into him by chance, he resembles what you've described."

Ji Ru was puzzled, "What's he doing in the West Desert?"

Xu Yaofeng also felt troubled, "It's hard to fathom Ji Dang's actions, which leaves me at a disadvantage."

"It seems we have to act quickly, we must completely eradicate the power of the Dragon Palace before Ji Dang enters the Death Realm."

"Otherwise, if he enters the Death Realm as well, the situation will turn extremely disadvantageous!"

Chen Qing listened to their conversation, pondering: It seems that Yao Feng has received the news transferred from this side of the Jiguang Sect, knowing Ji Dang is not easy to handle.

After the gathering ended, Chen Qing found a beast's lair, rested for four hours, and set off again.

He had traveled just two hundred miles when he saw four Mystic Gate Army soldiers ahead, pursuing a young man.

The young man was quite capable, managing to slowly escape despite being surrounded and attacked by four Foundation Establishment cultivators, showing potential to break away from the battlefield.

When the young man saw Chen Qing, he seemed to remember something and rushed toward him.

"Is Lord Wei currently present?"

Chen Qing nodded slightly, "Who are you that you recognize me?"

The young man answered, "I am the inheritor of the Chongyun Tribe, Cloud Sparrow!"

The four soldiers saw Chen Qing from afar, their expressions changed dramatically, "It's the Qingxu bandit!"

"What should we do?"

"Retreat quickly!"

Chen Qing said sternly, "Since you're here, there's no need to leave."

"If you dared to hunt me down then, today you must be prepared to die in battle!"

Chen Qing immediately invoked Fatian Xiangdi and used Dragon Capturing Hand, striking merely four times, turning the four soldiers into pulp!

Against an army of a hundred, Chen Qing couldn't stand unmoved, but against these mere four, they were not enough to act out in his presence.

Cloud Sparrow watched this unfold with great joy, "Thank you, Lord Wei, for your rescue."

Chen Qing nodded slightly, "Hmm, I came from the south specifically to rescue you, quickly head south to Dao Origin Land and join the army."

Watching Chen Qing's departing figure, Cloud Sparrow murmured softly, "With such strength, no wonder Yan Shiyin would go to such lengths to want him dead."

"Indeed, only a strong figure like this could stand against Yan Shiyin's slaughter."

Recently, Cloud Sparrow had lived a life of constant fear.

The entire Wu Country was in chaos, with major tribes attempting to move south.

Some were exposed the same day they attempted, and were slaughtered by Yan Shiyin immediately.

In a chaotic world, there's no right or wrong, only whose hand holds the blade.

In such dire circumstances, Cloud Sparrow saw a slim chance of survival only by heading south.

Cloud Sparrow hadn't anticipated that the situation in Nanli Wu Country would end up being controlled by two people from ordinary major tribes.

Chen Qing and Yan Shiyin both hailed from less auspicious beginnings, with neither really fitting the standard of a major tribe.

Yan Shiyin was born from a concubine, and Chen Qing was, strictly speaking, an in-law.

However, Hao Chengtian, with the best background, was already dead; Zhang Can declared his allegiance to Chen Qing, leading to this situation.

Cloud Sparrow couldn't help but sigh, "Truly, heroes are made by the times!"

At that moment, Hu Yao, following Ji Dang's path, curiously discovered that she had picked up quite a few Foundation Establishment monsters that Ji Dang had defeated but not killed.

Ji Dang's main target was talent, not these ordinary Foundation Establishment monsters.

Leading a group already consisting of twelve Foundation Establishment monsters, they hadn't gone more than thirty miles when they saw an old ox up ahead.

This old ox was over three zhang long, bleeding profusely with scars everywhere.

The monkey cautiously approached Hu Yao and whispered in her ear, "King, you must personally seek Spiritual Medicine to heal it so it will submit!"

"Preferably return with some injuries yourself."

Having performed this operation several times, Hu Yao was already quite adept at it.

"Hmm, I'll go now, you all watch over things."

In the team, an elder dressed in a Seven-colored Feather Robe suddenly noticed awkwardly:

After Ji Dang hunted down all the notable talents in the West Desert, it resulted in a situation where the broken Foundation Establishment monsters had no one to attach to.

And Hu Yao, trailing Ji Dang's group from afar, was steadily collecting injured Foundation Establishment monsters!

Was that even possible?

Could she really become a Demon King?

The situation in the West Desert had always been different from other places, and now, it had become even more peculiar.
