Chapter 211: Chapter 154: The Out-of-Control Tribulation Ash! The Shocked Mr. Lu! [Second Update!]

The sky was already bright, sunlight shining down.

It was fine weather.

But there were still those who preferred the darkness of a cave.

Here, the light of day was unseen, the air damp and stuffy.

At the end of the cave, the sound of water droplets echoed, drip-drop, drip-drop.

"The secret of the ’Key’ has been discovered by that traitor, and just the other day we sent out sixteen Cultivators and seven Martial Artists, yet failed to grasp it."

"In accordance with your orders, I have also spread the message that whoever can kill the ’traitor’ and cut off this line of information will be awarded three thousand great merits!"

"The three competing for the position of Vice Sect Hierarch set out yesterday afternoon."

"But they did not succeed."

The low voice sounded rather gloomy.

And at the end of the cave, the water droplet sounds continued undisturbed.

After a long while, a very young voice rose, like that of a three-year-old child.

"This traitor, with the cultivation of the Refining Essence Realm, was easily tempted into a predicament, his abilities are not that high."

The childish voice expressed surprise, asking, "Two of the Qi Refining Realm, and one Cultivator devoted to ’Evil Spirit,’ and still they couldn’t take him down?"

"A mysterious and strong character intervened!"

The gloomy voice sounded extremely solemn, saying, "The Pig is dead, his ancestor wiped out."

"The one who liked to farm has been affected by a strange Qi, ruining his foundation, turning into an Evil Beast."

"The Old Ji was stricken with fear, made an early escape, and headed for High Willow City."

With that voice’s words, the cave became even quieter.

The sound of the water droplets suddenly became hurried.

Then, after a moment, they slowed down again.

The child-like voice sighed, "Two great Qi Refinement Realm experts, a fierce Evil Spirit acting together, such a lineup, yet they were easily crushed, two dead, one fled."

"You’re saying it’s the work of a mysterious strong character, which means it wasn’t Feng City’s elite soldiers encircling and killing in formation."

"Inside the entire Qifeng Prefecture, there aren’t many who have such capabilities."

"But these characters have been clearly accounted for recently, having not come near Feng City."

"Could it be the Lord of Residual Prison Mansion? I heard he also came to Qifeng Prefecture?"

Upon hearing the child’s inquiry, the other gloomy voice quickly responded.

"No, the Lord of Residual Prison Mansion entered High Willow City just yesterday."

"So it seems, within Qifeng Prefecture, another such formidable person has emerged," said the childlike voice.

"This person last night attacked my Tribulation Ash, obviously an enemy rather than a friend," the low voice proclaimed.

"Quickly get to the bottom of this," said the child.

"Understood," the low voice responded.

"Old Ji is the only one who got away, did he have anything to say?" the child asked once more.

"He claims to know nothing; the opponent wiped out the Pig’s ancestor in a single encounter," the gloomy voice slowly said. "After that, he didn’t dare to investigate further; he left early. The one who liked farming... probably couldn’t let go."

"When a man can’t let go, he ends up dead. The person is dead, but the body remains, riddled with rampant strange Qi, much like an Evil Spirit."

"An Evil Spirit with a physical body is indeed rare," the low voice replied softly. "What does your venerableness suggest?"

"Find the old farmer, please ask him to return to his farming. Find a way to restore his ’consciousness’," said the child slowly.

"Having become an Evil Beast, a pool of flesh and blood resembling an Evil Spirit, he has lost control completely, and there’s not much room for redemption," the low voice stated.

"A Qi Refinement expert of my Tribulation Ash is rare; it would be a great pity to lose one in such a manner," said the child’s voice.

"Understood, I’ll have someone track down his whereabouts," the low voice responded accordingly.

"And the incident at the Dayin River, rumors involving the ancient Netherworld from legends, how has the investigation gone?" the child queried.

"Qifeng Prefecture is taking it very seriously, half of High Willow City’s strong have been dispatched to guard it; they’ve captured the Jiao dragon and have suppressed it under the riverbed," the man with the low voice said. "At least for the next half month, it won’t be easy to probe into it, we must wait for the storm to pass."

"Then let’s wait, no need to rush,"

said the child. "But why did Old Ji not follow orders and go to Residual Prison Mansion?"

The man with the low voice said, "He thought that after the incident at Jinliu Manor, he could still hope to return to High Willow City and be promoted to Deputy Commander! But someone spoiled his plans..."

"The rash man who attempted to assassinate Wang Yuan is still at large."

"But he must kill Pei Xiong and Wu Chang of the Observatory."

"Pei Xiong is already dead, only Wu Chang remains."

"Old Ji has made his intention clear: he won’t leave Qifeng Prefecture until Wu Chang is dead."

The cave fell silent once again, only the sound of water droplets continued in succession.

After a moment, the child’s voice sounded again.

"High Willow City has no place for him anymore, to kill Wu Chang, we must wait for the lad to leave the city."

"Send people to assist Old Ji, quickly ambush and kill Wu Chang to put an end to this trivial matter and relieve Old Ji of his fixation, so he can hurry to Residual Prison Mansion as soon as possible,"

the child spoke leisurely. "You should set out at once."

The man with the low voice bowed, "Understood," he said.

He turned and walked out of the cave.

The sunlight made him involuntarily squint his eyes.

He stretched out his hand, shielding his forehead.

His hand was covered in green scales.

But in an instant, they disappeared.

Then the man mounted his horse and rode away down the road.

Having reached a more distant location, he tore away his outer robe, revealing a suit of armor beneath.

This was clearly a figure who held a high position in the military within the cities of the Human Clan!

At the same time, in the depths of that cave, the dripping sounds grew more urgent.

The dim glow of phosphorescence slowly brightened.

It was actually a pair of eyes, their Mou Guang flickering, profound to the extreme.

Its gaze seemed to light up the depths of the cave.

Indistinctly visible was a rotting mass of flesh, its surface covered with pustules, with pus occasionally dripping slowly, like the sound of water, ticking away.

Numerous tentacles had already penetrated the rocky walls of the mountain, as if they had grown together with the mountain itself.

Above the flesh ball, a palm-sized face appeared, like that of a three-year-old child, with smooth skin, a smiling face, seeming innocent and naive.

"Old Farmer, Old Farmer, I told you so, but you wouldn’t heed the warning. Just entering the Qi Refining Realm, you’ve fallen to the same fate as me," it said.

"Before I lost control, at least I took the critical step to barely maintain my own consciousness."

"But your recovery is by no means certain."

The child spoke softly, "For the sake of our many years of friendship, I will find a way to avenge this for you."

——

Meanwhile, two horses sped past on the road.

"We’re nearing the Dayin River. I need to make a trip there. You go back to High Willow City first and prepare some things for me."

"Yes."

The Little White Ape promptly replied and turned its horse’s head towards the right path.

Lin Yan rode the Jiao Linma in the direction of the Dayin River.

He reached into his bosom, weighing the mask of a black pig in his hand.

One of the Twelve Phases of Tribulation Ash, the Hai Pig! Having reached the pinnacle of the Refining Essence Realm and worshipped an evil spirit of fierce level, he was already qualified to compete for the position of Vice Sect Hierarch of Tribulation Ash.

"According to the information from the Observatory, most of the Twelve Phases are in the Refining Essence Realm," Lin Yan said as he looked at the black pig mask in his hand, thinking, "This Hai Pig, in terms of ability, is probably ranked in the top three among the Twelve Phases."

It was said that the strongest among the Twelve Phases was listed as Chen Long, extremely mysterious.

What was even more terrifying was that the Observatory had no idea of the true identity of Venerate Chen!

Those of the Qifeng Prefecture City working directly under the Zhao Ye people and infiltrated into Tribulation Ash, six people had died trying to discover his true identity, with no results to show!

"It seems Venerate Chen is worth quite a bit of Evil Qi," Lin Yan thought as he tucked the black pig mask back into his bosom and looked towards the direction of the Dayin River.

He flicked his whip, and the Jiao Linma raced off even faster, like the wind speeding forward.

On the road, dust billowed, and sand filled the air, as if a yellow dragon was roaring forth.

——

High Willow City, located in the outskirts.

The Little White Ape, in the identity of Lin Xiaoqi, had returned and was supposed to go to the Outer South Bureau to see Han Commander.

But halfway there, it was stopped by the dark-faced, burly man Lv Tang.

"Mr. Lu has been waiting for you for a long time. Go to the Observatory later."

"Ah?"

The Little White Ape looked a bit perplexed, but considering its own matters weren’t urgent, it followed Lv Tang.

Within the small courtyard.

Mr. Lu looked somewhat pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

He appeared weary, and only when he heard the noise did he look towards the courtyard door.

He saw Lv Tang leading Lin Xiaoqi back home, entering the courtyard and then closing the door behind them.

"How come only you have come back?"

"The Master has gone to the Dayin River."

The Little White Ape emerged from the "false body", stretching its wings, muttering, "The quality of this paper is really terrible, very stuffy, and suffocating."

"You’re not human," Lv Tang couldn’t help but smile.

"You’re the one who’s not human," the Little White Ape retorted angrily, "Mr. Lu said that at the very least, I count as half a human."

"Enough of your wit. I have some questions for you," said Mr. Lu waving his hand.

"Couldn’t the questions wait for the Master to return?" the Little White Ape blinked.

"Recently, I’ve developed several medicinal formulas that have a significant effect on the growth of Qi-Blood," Mr. Lu said gently stroking his beard, "Given your multitude of bloodlines, I wonder if the effects would be even greater..."

"What does Mr. Lu wish to know?" the Little White Ape’s eyes sparkled as it said, "My Master ate a snake last night and drank half a jug of wine... He had two pancakes and four sips of water this morning... Oh yes, he hasn’t bathed in three days..."

"I don’t want to know about these things."

Mr. Lu reached into his bosom and took out a bundle of papers, saying, "These come from Qifeng Prefecture City, having gone through multiple processes, they are the most prized paper in the entire Qifeng Prefecture... Normally for making Spirit Talismans, I use this kind of paper."

The Little White Ape joyfully wrapped its arms around the bundle of papers.

Then listened as Mr. Lu slowly began to speak.

"Last night in Feng City, something big happened; an urgent message was sent over by a courier bird."

Mr. Lu spoke with a heavy tone, continuing, "Suddenly, a powerful and mysterious figure appeared in the Qifeng Prefecture... If I’m not mistaken..."

The Little White Ape immediately acknowledged, nodding, "Mr. Lu is not mistaken, it was my Master’s doing!"

"..."

Mr. Lu’s face was frozen in disbelief.

In his eyes, there was an unmistakable look of astonishment.
