Chapter 1542 - 602: That Trace of Zi Guang, Master Oh Master

Chapter 1542: Chapter 602: That Trace of Zi Guang, Master Oh Master

The upper stream returned to tranquility.

Seeing that Dongfang Liuli had already fled, Bo Qing calmly put away the semi-divine defensive spiritual artifact.

Turning back to look at Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya, these two little fellows had their mouths agape, enough to fit an egg inside.

"Vice captain, just how many spiritual artifacts do you have on you, like the one that just exploded?"

Little Zhiyo swallowed hard.

"Quite a few."

Bo Qing remained composed.

He found Tang Tiansong, who was bruised and battered by the residual force from the self-detonating spiritual artifact, and helped him up.

"Quite a few means how many? Ten... oh no, twenty pieces?"

Little Zhiyo looked eagerly.

"More than that."

Bo Qing replied unhurriedly.

He was known as the Treasure Child, a walking spiritual artifact detector wherever he went.

When he was on the Qing Province Continent, the heavenly-grade spiritual artifact he casually gifted Hong Yulang was just one among dozens he carried with him.

After arriving at the Ancient Nine Provinces, Bo Qing’s luck further improved upon acquiring the Divine Power Skill "Blessing Power."

Whether visiting some ruins, encountering a heritage, seizing a semi-divine spiritual artifact, such events that fell like manna from heaven had become so frequent for Bo Qing that he had grown numb to them.

He soon realized those heavenly-grade spiritual artifacts were too many and took up too much space, so he switched to mainly carrying semi-divine spiritual artifacts.

As for the specific quantity... he hadn’t really counted, but it was definitely much more than a few dozen.

Little Zhiyo’s mouth gaped even wider; he had always thought his own boss had pretty good fortune, owning the Hong Meng Heaven and so many fierce beasts.

But compared to Bo Qing, Little Zhiyo suddenly felt that maybe his boss wasn’t so lucky after all.

This guy was practically a rich wastrel!

"Captain Tang is seriously injured and needs to be taken back for treatment. Can you two still walk?"

Bo Qing had examined Tang Tiansong’s body and found a strange energy wreaking havoc inside him.

Thankfully, with Tang Tiansong’s profound strength, he hadn’t died, but if he couldn’t find a cure, he wouldn’t have much time left.

Bo Qing recognized that energy.

It was the same strange black gas that Dongfang Liuli had used against him earlier.

Unfortunately, while he could counter Dongfang Liuli’s offense through the self-detonation of the spiritual artifact, he couldn’t resolve the force within Tang Tiansong.

"We’re not badly hurt, but vice captain, aren’t we going to find the boss?"

Little Zhiyo was still worried about his boss. Such commotion upstream hadn’t alarmed the boss, so who knew if the boss had found the real Azure Dragon Crocodile?

"If it’s her, she should have found the whereabouts of the Azure Dragon Crocodile by now." With that, Bo Qing couldn’t help but look north along the river.

The north side of the river was exactly the mid-lower reaches.

In fact, while following Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya earlier, Bo Qing had felt a strong urge to explore the mid-lower reaches of the river valley.

That subconscious drive was familiar to Bo Qing, usually indicating something valuable mid-lower reaches.

If not a treasure, then an important target. In this river valley, it could only be the Azure Dragon Crocodile.

Bo Qing was still weighing whether to explore further or...

At that moment, his eyelids twitched sharply, and he looked up at the sky.

A streak of purple light shot across the sky like a meteor, especially conspicuous under the night sky, but so fast that one would think it was just an illusion.

Beside him, Tang Tiansong’s breathing grew weaker. Bo Qing frowned, withdrew his gaze, and decided to return to Qiyu City first, to bring Tang Tiansong to Guangzi.

He remembered that even Ye Lingyue had praised Guangzi’s medical skills without reservation.

Ling Yue would have to wait until tomorrow morning to search.

The figures of Bo Qing and his group turned into three streaks of Liu Guang, heading toward Qiyu City.

In the dark night, a figure leapt off and landed at the gates of Qiyu City.

"Who goes there!"

Two guards poked their heads out from Qiyu City’s walls.

At this hour, the gates were long closed, but due to ongoing public tasks recently, injured Demon Hunters returned occasionally, so the City Lord’s Mansion ordered that checks must be done before the gates could be opened.

Under the light from the city wall, the two guards saw a broken face.

"Ghost—"

The word stuck in their throats before it could be uttered.

Two streams of eerie energy shot into their foreheads, and the two guards’ bodies slid weakly to the ground, silent.

Madness surged in Dongfang Liuli’s eyes.

Everything that happened in the river valley felt like a nightmare, throwing Dongfang Liuli into a complete frenzy.

The Liu Guang Team members were all gone.

The Cauldron Breath she prided herself on was down to only three fingers’ worth of power.

The Azure Dragon Crocodile’s whereabouts remained unknown. It was all over.

All that Dongfang Liuli had painstakingly built over the years crumbled on this night.

She fled back to Qiyu City like a dog with its tail between its legs.

But upon reaching the city gates, she realized that even if she returned to Qiyu City, what could she do?

Her Cauldron Breath was reduced to just three fingers’ power, making it hard to even refine a Soul-breaking Elixir; without it, she couldn’t establish herself in Qiyu City.

Not to mention, with her current disfigurement, the expression on those two city guards when they saw her deeply hurt her.

"Senior brother, I need to find Senior Brother Gongsun; only by finding him can I rise again."

Dongfang Liuli was at her wit’s end, so she decided to leave Qiyu City.

Yet the moment she jumped off the city wall, she changed her mind.

"I can’t just leave like this. If I go, it’ll be handing everything to Huangquan Team and that Ye Lingyue for nothing."

Though she was in dire straits, the person Dongfang Liuli hated the most was not Little Zhiyo, who disfigured her, or Bo Qing, but Ye Lingyue.

All her misfortunes, which began with Di Shen’s rejection, were tied to Ye Lingyue.

Now that Tang Tiansong was injured by the Cauldron Breath, both the Tang City Team and the Liu Guang Team had failed. The most likely to win now was Ye Lingyue’s Huangquan Team.

Thinking of Ye Lingyue soon heading to the core region as Qiyu City’s first place filled Dongfang Liuli’s chest with a jealous fire that threatened to burn a hole in her.

"Ye Lingyue, don’t be so smug."

Dongfang Liuli stopped in her tracks, suddenly recalling something.

Wasn’t there still a member of the Huangquan Team in Qiyu City?

That person was Guangzi, whose beauty rivaled her own.

The person looked untrained in martial arts; as long as she could capture "her" and use "her" to threaten Ye Lingyue, it was indeed a good plan.

Dongfang Liuli burst into chuckles.

She didn’t hesitate any longer and turned back to head to the inn in the city.
