Chapter 694: The Effects of the Back‑Mountain Turtle, Mu Long Dao Long Arrives

Ah—ah.

The scene was bleak; blood and flesh lay everywhere.

Exploding blood foam stained the ground red; the greedy were all slain.

This sight made the onlookers scoff, and anyone who drew near would ultimately become… a corpse.

Tsk tsk, these people died terribly.

Yin Gui Zhenren emerged, looked at the corpses and the lingering spirits, waved his hand, and swept them all away.

The scene naturally drew attention; Tian Xin Dao Ren's pupils contracted, shifting from Huang Fu Xiu to focus on Yin Gui Zhenren.

Yin Gui Zhenren knew his move exposed him, but he didn't care; with so many spirits before him, he wouldn't waste them, and he also coveted the flesh. Had he not feared provoking the Back‑Mountain Turtle, he would have left long ago.

"Yin Gui Zhenren, you have also arrived."

Tian Xin Dao Ren stared coldly, murderous intent gathering in his eyes.

Yin Gui Zhenren sneered and returned a glance.

"Tian Xin old ghost, I didn't expect you to dare leave the Heavenly Heart Sect. It seems the Qihuang Bao Ku holds what you need, or perhaps you fear the revival of the first-generation Qihuang; when that comes, you will… regret the events of those days."

"Great Qi Dynasty has been under the Heavenly Heart Sect's control these years, countless clan members have perished; the first-generation Qihuang's plan has been foiled several times by the Heavenly Heart Sect. This time, Tian Xin old ghost still tries to intervene, hm."

"This time will be an opportunity: find Chen Chuyang and join forces to kill this old ghost."

Yin Gui Zhenren stared at Tian Xin Dao Ren, showing no concealment of his murderous intent.

He looked around, searching for Chen Chuyang's whereabouts.

Tian Xin Dao Ren let out a cold snort: "Hm."

Several people locked eyes, staring at each other.

Huang Fu Xiu gave Yin Gui Zhenren a casual glance; having devoured so many spirits, his strength had risen somewhat.

"The Yin Gui Sect's ghost techniques truly are… evil arts."

"Back‑Mountain Turtle, Back‑Mountain Demon King, an angry Back‑Mountain Demon King is not easy to deal with."

The enraged Back‑Mountain Demon King radiated demonic power to the heavens.

Terrifying demonic aura spread continuously, chilling everyone's hearts.

Had it not been for the Protector of the Qihuang Bao Ku, this Demon King might have already broken through the True Person Realm.

Here, its Advancement was restrained, as was its future.

There are pros and cons; if it were outside, the Back‑Mountain Turtle would have been slain long ago, never reaching this stage.

Such Demon Kings, such treasures, those sects would not allow them to remain outside.

"When they act, I will sit back and reap the fisherman's profit."

They are in no hurry to act; they all wait for that moment.

Chen Chuyang is waiting.

Tian Xin Dao Ren is also waiting.

Yin Gui Zhenren is likewise waiting.

In the distance.

A man bearing a sword landed, his gaze turning icy.

Staring into the distance, the aura of his divine power made the earth tremble.

The surrounding ley lines quivered violently; that force was immense, still affecting even from such a distance.

Mu Long Dao Long brandished his sword, and the image of a Back‑Mountain Turtle appeared in his eyes.

"Is that a Back‑Mountain Turtle?"

"A Back‑Mountain Turtle of this size is about to advance to the True Person Realm; one step away from entering the True Realm."

"This beast is terrifying."

"The master will surely love it; even the master seeks such exotic beasts as the Back‑Mountain Turtle."

The Back‑Mountain Turtle is both a demon beast and an exotic beast, a rare creature that extends lifespan.

Many forces and sects covet it, but alas, it is far too scarce.

Encountering one relies on luck; one this large is virtually impossible to find.

"If brought back, the master would certainly be delighted."

With a Back‑Mountain Turtle, one can continuously draw blood without killing it.

Such demon beasts have abundant flesh and blood, which will replenish quickly.

One Back‑Mountain Turtle can affect a family's future.

An extended lifespan means more opportunities; a sixty‑year life allows many deeds and the chance to complete Advancement.

Mu Long Dao Long hurried forward and made contact, a sign that Heaven favored him.

"Back‑Mountain Turtle, I will claim you; anyone who dares reach out, hm."

Mu Long Dao Long advanced swiftly; his arrival drew everyone's attention.

"Another Tianwai being has arrived, its strength is great, at least five layers of the True Person Realm."

"This person also covets the Back‑Mountain Turtle, perfect, let him go and clean out some people."

Tian Xin Dao Ren concealed his form, murmuring, "The Mu Long Clan's aura is strong; this beast cannot be confronted head‑on."

He does not wish to expose himself, nor to act first.

Yin Gui Zhenren also concealed himself; when such Strong Ones arrive, one must hide well.

Huang Fu Xiu did the same.

Some people nearby began to hide, while the rest, blinded by greed, rushed toward the Back‑Mountain Turtle.

These people are truly mad.

Utterly frantic, one after another, they all charged at the Backmountain Turtle, for their lifespan, for their future, they must rush forward.

"Roar."

The Backmountain Turtle looks to the sky and roars, its body lifts again, its forelimbs leap high.

"Boom—"

The earth shatters, terrifying waves spread.

Everything around it then vanishes.

"Buzz."

Those people, having had their first experience, prepared early for the second, and avoided this divine technique.

They swiftly approached the Backmountain Turtle, using divine techniques, blade edges, sword blades, all attacking the Backmountain Turtle.

"Bang bang bang."

These weapons cannot harm the Backmountain Turtle; its massive body is incredibly hard.

Ordinary attacks simply cannot break its defense.

The Backmountain Turtle winces, turns its head and stares at those people.

"Roar."

A roar of anger shakes heaven and earth.

The mountain peaks rise; three peaks ascend into the sky.

The gigantic peaks plunge straight down.

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

"Boom—"

The three peaks descend in succession, Protector the earth.

Those people all become lost souls beneath the peaks.

The Backmountain Turtle's head gazes around, as if saying, "If you're not afraid of death, all come to me."

The Herding Sword Dragon had just landed, saw that divine technique, and said with interest, "The mountain‑moving divine technique, the Backmountain Turtle's innate divine technique, can command the power of mountain peaks; the three peaks are not very strong."

"This is because the Backmountain Turtle has been Protector, unable to use its full strength."

"The Qihuang Bao Ku exerts terrifying Protector power over the beasts inside; the mountain‑moving divine technique's power is halved."

This is the Backmountain Turtle's weakness, and also its constraint.

The Herding Sword Dragon scanned the surroundings and saw some hidden people.

The Backmountain Turtle's divine technique prevents those people from remaining hidden.

The turbulent spiritual qi makes everything manifest.

"Hmph, you sneaky ones, die before me."

The blade swings, and the Herding Sword Dragon unleashes a massive blade aura, sweeping the surroundings.

In an instant, those nearby are split in two, unable to do anything, watching helplessly as they are cut.

Tian Xin Dao Ren raises a hand, blocking the blade aura.

Yin Gui Zhenren quickly evades, avoiding it.

Huang Fu Xiu swings his blade, cutting the blade aura, shattering it.

The three figures become visible; they cannot hide, while the other people die or are wounded.

Where Chen Chuyang stands, the Formation trembles briefly, but is not shattered.
