Free Web NovelChapter 668: Chapter 368: Qi Blood Mountains and Rivers
After the Ancestral Grandmaster killed the Great Fearless Bodhisattva and other monks from the Spirit Mountain,
he threw the sword in his hand forward.
The flying sword instantly transformed into a beam of sword light, carrying the other bodies, and flew towards Xianming City.
As he was about to fly to Xianming City, the Ancestral Grandmaster discovered the city’s forbidden restrictions on aerial passage.
Although, with his strength, he was unafraid of Xianming City’s aerial restrictions.
On usual days, even if he knew of these restrictions, he would still fly over.
However, he thought about Xianming City; it’s very likely that there’s a cultivator who has mastered the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons quite well.
Thus, he broke from his usual behavior, landed before the aerial restrictions, sheathed his flying sword, and stepped towards Xianming City.
...
As he was about to reach the city gate, the two soldiers guarding the gate saw the Ancestral Grandmaster and demanded Celestial Gate Gold.
The Ancestral Grandmaster’s eyes flashed with a sharp gleam.
His nature is extremely arrogant, dislikes being denied, resisted, or blocked by others.
Moreover, having cultivated an Evil Technique for many years, his mind has long been abnormal, and his temper extremely irritable.
At this moment, these two city guards, only in the Early Stage of Merging Realm cultivation, dared to block him.
His eyes narrowed, a murderous aura erupted from his body.
He was about to gather Sword Qi to cut off the heads of these two guards.
But he recalled that the person he was looking for, with mastery of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons, was perhaps only slightly inferior to him.
If he obtained this person’s poison sac, his own mastery of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons might reach perfection.
At this time, if he killed the two guards outright, it would draw the attention of other guards, leading to chaos.
It might alert the enemy.
Thinking this, the Ancestral Grandmaster suppressed his murderous intent.
He took out a valuable Celestial Medicine from his storage bag and handed it to one of the guards.
As the chief honored guest of the Celestial Sect, he naturally wouldn’t carry Celestial Gate Gold.
Although the guard couldn’t appraise the value of the Celestial Medicine,
the medicine emitted a rich Spiritual Qi.
A refreshing fragrance wafted from it, entering the noses of the two guards.
These two guards, merely smelling the medicinal scent, felt their True Qi and Mana increasing and expanding.
Let alone taking the Celestial Medicine directly.
So, the two guards knew that this Celestial Medicine was certainly worth more than the city’s entrance fee of Celestial Gate Gold.
One of the guards, still surprised, took the medicine with an open mouth, promptly stepping aside.
After the Ancestral Grandmaster stepped into the city, he found a passerby to inquire about the location of the City Lord’s Mansion.
He knew that if the Celestial Gate envoy sent a message, it would surely reach the City Lord’s Mansion.
As long as he found the City Lord’s Mansion, he should find out everything he wanted to know.
...
Before reaching the City Lord’s Mansion, he walked straight to the gate.
"Senior, may I know the purpose of your visit to the City Lord’s Mansion?"
A gatekeeper at the City Lord’s Mansion, seeing the Ancestral Grandmaster’s cold demeanor and transcendent posture, respectfully asked.
Although he couldn’t sense the cultivation level of this person in front of him,
someone daring to walk directly to the City’s Mansion gate might have a significant relationship with the City Lord.
Thus, he dared not call to this person carelessly.
The Ancestral Grandmaster said, "I am the Celestial Gate Honored Guest, looking for your City Lord."
"Wait a moment, senior; I’ll report immediately." One of the gatekeepers, not daring to delay, quickly ran inside.
Soon, Vice City Lord Lu Ziran emerged with the gatekeeper and, upon seeing the Ancestral Grandmaster, immediately bowed deeply.
"Ancestral Grandmaster, it’s an honor to have you come from afar."
Lu Ziran had spent time at the Celestial Gate Headquarters and had met the Ancestral Grandmaster several times, thus recognizing him.
The Ancestral Grandmaster, seeing someone finally recognizing him after the journey, felt pleased.
But his face remained an expression of calm ferocity, simply nodding and coldly humming.
Lu Ziran quickly welcomed the Ancestral Grandmaster inside.
He instructed the servants to take out the finest tea leaves, preparing tea for the Ancestral Grandmaster, while Lu Ziran didn’t dare to sit down.
He simply stood by the Ancestral Grandmaster’s side, respectfully asking, "What guidance does the Ancestral Grandmaster bring here?"
The Ancestral Grandmaster merely sipped the tea lightly and said to Lu Ziran, "How is the task that the Celestial Gate envoy asked you to do a few days ago?"
Lu Ziran, upon hearing this, was startled for a moment.
Because when they received the Celestial Gate envoy’s task, they were completely unaware that this task was actually issued by the Ancestral Grandmaster.
He quickly reacted and responded, "City Lord Wei, his senior brother Li Shixing, and Yu Yue from the Celestial Treasure Pavilion have captured the person and are returning them to the Celestial Sect."
"Captured the person?" The Ancestral Grandmaster looked at Lu Ziran with doubt and asked.
"Yes," Lu Ziran replied respectfully, not understanding why the Ancestral Grandmaster asked this.
"Were there any casualties?" The Ancestral Grandmaster asked again.
"None," Lu Ziran answered, feeling even more baffled.
Thoughts raced through the Ancestral Grandmaster’s mind.
According to his estimation, the person’s mastery of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons was only slightly inferior to his.
He also knew the strength of the people in Xianming City from Celestial Sect.
When he heard that those people had captured the person so quickly, he sensed something was amiss.
Upon hearing that no one was harmed when capturing the person, he felt extremely uneasy.
Because with that person’s mastery of the Heart Scripture of Myriad Poisons, the Myriad Poison True Qi released would be incredibly poisonous!
If the people of Xianming City wanted to capture that person alive, they would definitely have to pay a price.
It wouldn’t be so easy to capture them.
"Where is Wei Qisheng?" The Ancestral Grandmaster said in a deep voice.
"Wei Qisheng is currently in secluded cultivation," Lu Ziran said truthfully.
"Bring him out," the Ancestral Grandmaster immediately ordered.
