Chapter 1697: Chapter 668: Tearing Through the Tranquility (Part 4)

"Mm, delicious, very sweet." Qin Ming praised, placing the remaining piece of cake in the hall after eating one.

The little girl was exceptionally happy upon hearing this.

Qin Ming left the house, preparing to set out alone.

In the distance, Huang Youwei of the Bull Clan had already begun practicing his skills, breathing as loud as thunder, displaying great diligence.

A young girl pushed open the courtyard gate, shyly glancing at Qin Ming, and softly said, "Brother Yong, when you come to explore Feixian Mountain, will you stay like Uncle Jia Heng?"

It was Jiang Chunli, and her voice grew smaller towards the end, with a blush appearing on her cheeks.

"I will leave soon." Qin Ming said, sighing silently.

"Oh, okay..." Jiang Chunli responded softly, quickly turning around, feeling very disappointed as she fled.

Qin Ming patted the face of one of the Two Puppets and said, "Elder, you’re already so old, how can you still cause such a scandal, hurting people’s hearts for no reason."

At this time, Jia Heng came out, looking solemn, and instructed the villagers: "Today, I have some matters to attend to and cannot accompany you. If you all enter the mountain, don’t go deep, return early."

On usual days, the villagers had his protection, and if the distance was not far, he would go to great lengths to rescue them if they encountered danger.

"Okay, village chief."

"Old friend, this is..." Qin Ming showed a hint of surprise.

"To fulfill my wish, I want to see the truth." After saying this, Jia Heng swiftly disappeared into the night.

Qin Ming knew that this Great Grandmaster intended to venture deep into Feixian Mountain, truly risking his life to explore.

He shouted after him: "Brother Jia, take care of yourself!"

On that day, Qin Ming’s true body began breaking through in Feixian Mountain, initially achieving natural perfection in the Fourth Realm—Tongyou, and then directly Seeing God.

He was very satisfied, saying: "Hm, my speed is also fast, no lesser than anyone else’s!"

In an instant, he merged with Feixian Mountain, seemingly establishing a Blood and Flesh Divine City, continuously Seeing God in the Grandmaster Domain.

Reaching this realm, he was relatively cautious.

Indeed, he was ultimately not the Insect Emperor or one of the Two Puppets; without his old subordinates here, it also meant a lack of overt deterrence.

During his breakthrough, Qin Ming occasionally needed to cut down Outer Demons.

Even though the Insect Emperor and the Two Puppets were by his side as protectors, it was useless, because at critical moments, Qin Ming couldn’t spare attention to resonate with the two of them.

He couldn’t possibly let the two ancients step into the Esoteric Path again, merging with Feixian Mountain.

He was worried that establishing a Blood and Flesh Divine City in the same place would affect himself.

As long as there was no Mountain God’s will, no Heavenly Immortal seizing this grand mountain land, he was truly fearless.

That day, Qin Ming honed himself, integrating with mountains and rivers, breathing in harmony with all nature, advancing step by step in the Seeing God Domain, enhancing the foundation of the Esoteric Path.

As night deepened, Qin Ming returned very late.

His heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment, even his steps seemed a bit lighter.

In the village, cooking smoke rose spirally, the lights were soft, looking very peaceful and harmonious, but as soon as he truly stepped into Changgeng Village, he was immediately struck by a heavy scent of blood.

All that he had seen and heard earlier was an illusion, at this moment, it was as if a silent scroll had been suddenly torn apart.

Previously, someone had set up an array to cover the truth.

The village was draped in darkness, there was a group of uninvited guests coldly watching Qin Ming, as if waiting for his return.

The leading elder sat grandly with a saber-horizontal posture, humanoid figure but with the head of a Qilin.

At the village entrance, numerous corpses lay scattered, the ground dyed red with blood.

"Silent Scroll, very useful indeed."

"Naturally, once this exotic treasure envelops, even a strong person of the Sixth Realm outside cannot detect, mistakenly believing everything remains harmonious and peaceful."

This group of intruders spoke indifferently, utterly unconcerned with the villagers’ bodies beneath their feet.

Qin Ming saw the father and son, Old Huang Niu and the honest Huang Youwei, each with a bloody hole in their forehead, lying there, eyes closed in death.

He also saw Jiang Chunli, who should have been full of youthful vitality, but now lay in a pool of blood, her body separated, her once beautiful eyes devoid of life.

That morning, she had shyly greeted Qin Ming, timidly asking if he would stay.

Now seeing her again, she had become a cold corpse.

Jia Heng had only half of his body left, his eyes muddied, mumbling, "I have sinned, I deserve to die, I shouldn’t have ventured into Feixian Mountain and implicated the village folks!"

A middle-aged man responded indifferently, "Indeed, what do you think you are, that a mere contract dares come near Immortal Field?"

Jia Heng’s eyes shed bloody tears, "You broke your promise, did not keep your word. No matter what happens, as long as there’s a disciple from Cangming Dojo with a land deed entering the mountains, they should be allowed to gather herbs!"

Then he went mad, shouting, "My junior sister, a Great Saint fifty years ago, was she also killed by you? You are a bunch of dishonest fiends, bloodthirsty evil ghosts!"

A young man spoke indifferently, "What status, what level do you think you are, to share Immortal Field with us? Cangming Dojo has long become history, vanished into smoke for a long time."

"What about my junior sister?" Jia Heng’s eyes widened and cracked, filled with deep obsession.

Then he forcefully struck the ground, as if wanting to smash his head, lowly growling, "I’ve wronged the villagers, guilty, I’ve implicated you all."

His eyes shedding bloody tears, looking towards Qin Ming, said, "Brother, I’m sorry, I didn’t know there were Demon Monsters there."

Qin Ming’s gaze swept over the group, seeing that his own courtyard had collapsed, the house was damaged, vaguely visible were a few pieces of locust flower cake under the broken wooden table.

He slowly ascended, looking into the courtyard where the little white fox girl lived, her neck tilted to one side, twisted by someone, already devoid of any breath.

This gluttonous yet cute little girl, who had brought him locust flower cake in the morning, had now died as well.

What threat could a child pose? That innocent face, with pure eyes wide open, filled with terror, she lay silent.

Qin Ming resonated, instantly sensing many intense emotional waves.

"Mom... It hurts so much." That was the little girl’s last mournful cry after her neck was grasped by someone.

"You are truly a bunch of beasts!" Qin Ming said.

"Heh heh..." An old man with a goatee chuckled softly, sitting grandly on the left of the Qilin-headed elder, holding a large flag in his hand, surrounded by Yin Evil Qi.

He swept his gaze over, saying, "Your cultivation is not low, and you also have compassion for ordinary people unrelated to you?"

He gently shook the large flag, immediately revealing many figures on it, among them was the honest Huang Youwei, in pain calling out, "Why?"

The face of the gluttonous little girl also appeared on the flag surface, her eyes tearing and shattered, crying, "Big brother, save me, it hurts, it feels terrible."

With a clang, Qin Ming drew the Exotic Gold Blade. It had been a long time since he last swung it, even with his current Taoist skills, he could defeat powerful enemies barehanded. But today, the boundless Blade Qi in his heart was out of control, bursting through his body, breaking open the night, the Qi rushing towards the sky!
