Chapter 75 - 74 Huang Tian Sect, Three Precious Mountain Delicacies
```
In the management of the Song and Dong Family's restaurant, there was someone from the Huang Tian Sect.
Shen Qing was truly shocked by this scene.
No matter what, he would never have thought that the seemingly ordinary manager had such an identity behind him.
Fortunately, he came over this time, or else he would still be completely in the dark, never knowing the hidden secret.
Regarding the Huang Tian Sect, ever since he overheard news about them on his way into the county town for the first time, he had made a point to inquire about them in the city.
Only after inquiring did he realize how formidable this Huang Tian Sect was.
In recent years, they had been gaining ground in the southern territories of the Great Zhou Dynasty, gradually growing like a wildfire reaching new heights, and they had recently captured the northern Jinzhou, gaining significant momentum.
There were even rumors that the Huang Tian Sect had its secret method to gather spirit essence scattered outside the Great Zhou Court, amassing bit by bit, forming a substantial force.
They gradually held the potential to rival the Great Zhou Court, regarded as a significant threat to the heart of the Great Zhou Court.
These days, the main task of the Guardian Martial Department in various cities was to suppress this Huang Tian Sect.
Whenever they encountered disciples of the Huang Tian Sect, they were to kill them on the spot without any room for negotiation.
The Huang Tian Sect advocated that "Yellow Heaven is above, all beings are equal" as their creed, aiming to lead believers to transcendence and sainthood, mastering the great power of heaven and earth, pursuing immortality, and the great power of ancient immortal Daoist methods.
Their main altar was established atop the mist-covered "Huang Tian Sacred Mountain," presided over by a Huang Tian True Master with unfathomable strength.
The evangelists of the Huang Tian Sect were known as "Yellow Angels," dressed in yellow robes, crowned with yellow hats, holding yellow banners, traveling throughout the territories of the Great Zhou, spreading their doctrine and performing acts of charity, deemed a yellow peril by various local government offices.
In the Outer City, so many people taking risks to join the Huang Tian Sect could be seen.
It showed that this Great Zhou Dynasty, which had stood for nine hundred years, seemingly prosperous and grand, was actually decaying from within, starting to head towards a period of decline.
The lower-class people in the Outer City would rather risk their lives to join the Huang Tian Sect than live under the governance of the Great Zhou.
Shen Qing stretched out his neck for a careful look and noticed that the disciples of the Huang Tian Sect following behind Cai Jia Sheng were all gaunt and rarely robust.
Even with their pallid faces, they all exuded devotion, with their occasionally opened eyes shining brightly.
Shen Qing did not look any further and withdrew his gaze.
If he guessed correctly, this area seemed to have already been absorbed by the Huang Tian Sect, becoming a region they were secretly developing.
Therefore, they dared to hold such a blatant ceremony in broad daylight.
He had stumbled into the Huang Tian Sect's nest.
"In this case, that Cai Jia Sheng was the Yellow Angel of this Outer City, and he might have already gained some influence here."
Shen Qing actually wanted to rush over just now and kill this Cai Jia Sheng as he had done to Wang Qiyao.
As the Yellow Angel, Cai Jia Sheng might have the Blood Bird's Nest on him.
But he dared not act recklessly against Cai Jia Sheng.
Even though Cai Jia Sheng appeared to be ordinary, without any particular temper and showing no martial prowess, both Ouyang Tie Niu and Yang Zhao Ping may have fallen at his hands; one couldn't rule out the possibility of him being a martial master in the Skin Forging Realm.
Currently, he had just barely entered the level of strengthening, being far from Skin Forging Realm.
Not to mention, the depth of the Huang Tian Sect was unknown; how many people like Cai Jia Sheng were lurking, Shen Qing did not know at all.
If he acted, whether he could obtain the Blood Bird's Nest was uncertain, but it would certainly stir up the hornet's nest of the Huang Tian Sect.
"In that case, forget it. Although rare treasures are hard to come by, they aren't worth such a dangerous risk. If faced with such a master, I can't be sure I can kill him."
Just when Shen Qing was preparing to leave, he suddenly sensed two more people approaching his direction.
He hurriedly held his breath and concealed himself again in a dark corner.
The two people nearing him were also disciples of the Huang Tian Sect, but their physiques were obviously more robust than those ordinary disciples.
Even when they spoke, their voices were full of energy.
"Unexpectedly, the last rare treasure turned out to be in our area, that man named Kong really hid it well. If it weren't for two guys making a fuss, we wouldn't even know."
"Indeed, and it just so happened that our Yellow Angel was here, saving us a lot of effort. Tough luck for those two guys."
"Don't mind them. If they are not people of the Holy Sect, they aren't our brothers and sisters; dead, they are just dead. Perhaps this is all arranged by destiny, giving us these rare treasures."
"Heaven below, Yellow Heaven above."
As they got to this point, the two people consecutively chanted devoutly, and after finishing, one of them continued speaking.
"Now with these rare treasures in the Yellow Angel's hands—the Blood Bird's Nest, Jade Deer Tendon, and Tiger King's Penis—can we proceed with the next step of our plan?"
"Yes, I heard the Yellow Angel wants to trade these three rare treasures to the Song family for a position as a restaurant shopkeeper; by then, our Holy Sect would have a foothold in the Inner City too, reducing the casualties of our brothers and sisters when Huang Tian descends in the future."
"Sigh... It's a real deal for the Song family."
"Even if the young masters and ladies of the Song family get the rare treasures, they wouldn't break through too quickly. Perhaps by the time we take over the county town, they still wouldn't have used them."
"True, let's consider it temporarily deposited with them..."
The voices of the two people gradually faded away.
When their footsteps completely vanished from the alley, Shen Qing slowly emerged from the dark spot.
Shen Qing, who possessed the skill of "Poison Shadow," was very well-hidden.
Even after two groups from the Huang Tian Sect passed by, they couldn't detect his presence.
Once he stepped out of the alley, Shen Qing did not linger but turned left and right in the alley. After ensuring no one was following him, he safely returned to the main street.
From the conversation he heard just now, Shen Qing realized that the development of the Huang Tian Sect in Taiping County had likely exceeded everyone's expectations.
It wouldn't take long for chaos to erupt in Taiping County, making it essential to make some preparations in advance.
What delighted him even more was that, without much notice, Cai Jia Sheng already possessed three rare treasures.
The last two were exceedingly more precious than the Blood Bird's Nest.
If it were just a single Blood Bird's Nest, it wouldn't be worth the risk, but added with the Jade Deer Tendon and Tiger King's Penis, it was worth trying.
From his experience over this period, robbing was a much quicker way to amass wealth than honestly selling mountain goods.
No man enriches without windfall profit, no horse fattens without night grazing.
This time, it depended on whether he could seize this windfall.
Shen Qing lowered his head and walked briskly.
When he reached the city gate, it was just about to close.
With a swift stride, Shen Qing slipped inside, quickly slipping a dozen large coins to smooth the way, and darted into the city.
