Chapter 821: Waiting for You to Fight

The second stage of this Great Hunt was destined to be full of bloodshed, and at the same time, it was different from the past in terms of level.

For example, the fluctuations in the domain had never appeared before.

Even though the Three God Shrines had descended and suppressed the Nine Li core, in the previous fluctuations of the spider god, it still caused the fierce beasts in this Mountain-Sea Domain to endure multiple bloodline stimulations.

Thus, the beasts of all sides in the Mountain-Sea Domain, which were already full of fierce intent, became increasingly ferocious, and in some areas, even small-scale beast tides appeared.

Therefore, the danger brought to the cultivators participating in this stage also skyrocketed.

Not every moment, but almost every day, many Yan Yue clan cultivators participating in the Great Hunt died miserably in this domain, their flesh and blood becoming nutrients to nourish this place.

And amidst this chaos, some people also benefited, achieving accomplishments that were originally impossible to reach and obtaining precious mounts.

But overall, the Mountain-Sea Domain showed signs of turmoil.

Xu Qing felt this more and more clearly when he left the place of seclusion and galloped across the firmament.

He saw a violent herd of beasts galloping on the ground; it was a fierce beast with a form like a horse but possessing six legs and a snake head.

Its name was Treading Flame.

The reason for this name was that when this beast galloped, green flames would appear under its feet. Wherever it passed, green firelight filled the sky, capable of burning souls.

As they galloped, in the flames outside their bodies, one could see the souls of many fierce beasts and cultivators being bound by them, emitting miserable screams.

The moment Xu Qing passed by in the sky, the Treading Flame beasts spat out green smoke, about to roar at Xu Qing.

A Si'e clan cultivator.

This cultivator was a middle-aged man, obviously possessing some means. Under the pursuit of several mountain sparrows, he was actually able to escape, and seeing that he was about to escape completely.

But the next instant, a calm voice echoed beside him, falling into his mind like a thunderclap.

"Seal." A single word spread in heaven and earth.

This was the seal blessed by the Nine Li, definitely not ordinary. The moment it appeared, ripples formed with this Si'e cultivator as the center, sealing all directions.

In the blink of an eye, this Si'e cultivator vibrated all over, his body stopped suddenly, unable to move in the slightest. His physical body, his soul, and even the void where he was located were instantly solidified.

As for the mountain sparrows pursuing from behind, they all vibrated, then as if they had received some order, or as if they had been frightened, they turned around rapidly and left instantly.

Only that Si'e clansman was left, alone, solidified in mid-air. The horror in his heart was already monstrous, until he saw a figure revealed from the void in the distance, walking over step by step, with black flames spreading across heaven and earth wherever he passed.

The moment he saw the appearance clearly, a storm surged in the Si'e clan cultivator's mind; he recognized Xu Qing!

But according to the news he knew, Xu Qing should have been killed by Ji Dongzi!

But now he actually appeared in front of him. This scene caused the storm in this Si'e clan cultivator's mind to reach its limit. His body instinctively wanted to tremble, but this seal was too strong, making it so that even trembling was impossible for him.

Thus, all the horror and fear could only be revealed from his eyes, extremely rich.

Especially as Xu Qing walked over, flames lingered on this Si'e cultivator's body, causing his physical body to suffer burning pain, and what made him most terrified was the pressure from Xu Qing.

This pressure caused his body to show signs of cracking, and there was a feeling of facing a God-Treasury cultivator.

"Do you know where Ji Dongzi is?" Xu Qing looked at the Si'e clan cultivator in front of him and spoke indifferently.

As his words echoed, the restraint on this Si'e clan cultivator loosened a bit. Rapid breathing suddenly came from this cultivator's mouth. The sense of life and death in his heart was strong, and his body could finally tremble.

It was just that, no matter what, he still couldn't dissipate the sense of death in his heart, so he shook his head rapidly. He really didn't know where Ji Dongzi was.

"You don't know." Xu Qing's expression was as usual. Everything about the other party was clear in his eyes. At this moment, he waved his hand, and immediately a soul thread danced, wrapping around this Si'e clan cultivator and binding him behind him with a fierce tug.

He only restricted this person's cultivation, but did not restrict his sound transmission. Even under the precision of the seal, the other party's storage bag could be opened, but only the sound transmission jade slip could be taken out.

Xu Qing did not plan to kill this person now, because rather than searching for Ji Dongzi aimlessly, Xu Qing thought it better to let Ji Dongzi find him himself.

But this required this Si'e cultivator to cooperate. Thus, the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor roared out, circling around this Si'e clan cultivator, the sharp tip sliding across this cultivator's skin, drawing shallow marks...

The coldness and the sense of life and death emitted made this Si'e clan cultivator tremble even more.

"Are you going to call for help yourself, or should I help you?" The Jin Gang Sect Ancestor's figure manifested, sitting on an iron skewer, and spoke gently, his gaze sweeping over this Si'e cultivator.

"Choose a place to pierce a hole for you. You'd better hope that you have enough connections, otherwise... hehehe."

Under the gaze of the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor, this Si'e clan cultivator did not hesitate at all and immediately followed the other party's request, starting to transmit sound to his clansmen for help.

Just like this, under the whip of the Jin Gang Ancestor, and as Xu Qing continued to move forward in the firmament, the Si'e cultivator tied by the soul thread behind him continuously transmitted sound for help.

As for some thoughts hidden in his sound transmission for help, Xu Qing didn't care. He hoped that more people would come. It was just that he didn't know if Xu Qing's fierce reputation was too great, or if this Si'e cultivator's connections were bad, or if he was unreliable, but even after several hours passed, no clansmen came to save him.

Xu Qing was a bit impatient with waiting, so he simply accelerated his speed.

Just like this, several days passed.

During this period, the Si'e cultivator's call for help became weaker and weaker. Even if the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor was fierce, this cultivator could do nothing but wail.

Fortunately, he called many companions to disperse the sharp thorns of the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor.

For several days, whenever Xu Qing encountered Bai Ze and Si'e clan members, he would directly attack, bind them, and throw them behind him.

Now the number was already dozens of cultivators, each filled with despair in their hearts. Under the torture and threats of the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor, they continuously called for help, and their screams became increasingly hoarse.

And looking at more and more companions, the first Si'e cultivator Xu Qing caught felt his body's trembling and the fear in his heart become stronger and stronger.

But, the next instant, a trace of the Nine Li aura on Xu Qing's body spread out.

Just a trace, and the group of Treading Flame beasts that were originally violent on the ground all vibrated, stopping in groups, then actually prostrating toward the firmament, emitting wails.

The wailing was not because they suffered substantial physical damage, but because of the pain and sorrow from their souls.

That was the instinct within their bloodlines.

Nine Li was the Ancestral Witch of the Profound Heaven; its aura and bloodline were supreme in this land.

And the source of all fierce beasts in this Mountain-Sea Domain was the Great Witch under the Nine Li back then.

So when they felt the Nine Li aura again, these fierce beasts, which were transformed from the death of the Great Witches back then, were stirred up with a memory of their bloodlines.

Xu Qing's body paused, looking at the prostrating Treading Flame beasts, and after a long while, he roared away in the firmament.

Galloping all the way, scenes like this were everywhere.

Even in the sky, it was the same. Groups of soaring birds were stirring up storms unscrupulously, but the moment Xu Qing approached, these birds all stopped, trembling and worshipping, wailing in their mouths, making Xu Qing deeply feel the sorrow of these fierce beasts, and also feel the status of the Nine Li here.

He even gradually developed a feeling of walking in his own territory.

But this feeling, accompanied by the bitter emotions of the Nine Li, accumulated in Xu Qing's heart.

Xu Qing didn't like being influenced, so he erased this emotion belonging to the Nine Li that appeared in his heart.

As he stepped, his speed became faster and faster, until several hours later, a ghostly light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes; he had found the clue he wanted to find.

It was a person being pursued by mountain sparrows, because in these few days, what he saw was not just Xu Qing's ferocity.

There were also abnormalities of the fierce beasts in this Mountain-Sea Domain!

Along the way, he saw many ferocious beasts that he would have to find a way to escape from when he encountered them on weekdays, but the moment they saw Xu Qing, they actually took the initiative to prostrate, whether alone or in groups, it was like this.

Just like subjects seeing their king!

This scene was too shocking, to the extent that he felt dazed several times. It was really something he had never heard of before, nor had he seen any records in any historical classics.

In his cognition, the fierce beasts of the Mountain-Sea Domain were all ferocious and unruly. To tame them required strength and even more required opportunity.

And often after taming one, wanting to tame a second one, the difficulty would increase infinitely.

But now... he recalled this journey, all the fierce beasts that prostrated to Xu Qing, some of them were even on the rankings, desired by many cultivators to possess.

But now, their appearance was clearly that as long as Xu Qing nodded, they would immediately run over and follow willingly.

"This... this..." This unbelievable thing made the trembling of this Si'e clan cultivator's heart even stronger.

Until six days passed, when the number of Si'e and Bai Ze cultivators tied behind Xu Qing reached over a hundred, the dense crowd was shocking.

They were continuously transmitting sound for help every moment, and in this Mountain-Sea Domain, it finally caused a monstrous storm.

The news that Xu Qing was not dead spread rapidly, and the matter of him inquiring about Ji Dongzi's whereabouts spread in this storm.

And the shocking fierce scene of tying over a hundred cultivators and roaring in the firmament naturally made the storm even more rapid under the eyes of other Yan Yue clan cultivators and cultivators of his own clan.

Thus, Xu Qing's name appeared in the hearts of all participants once again, and it was deeper than ever before.

Xu Qing was using his actions to tell Ji Dongzi: I am waiting for you! ===== CHAPTER 822 =====
