Chapter 163: I Came Today Just for Two Things

Shen Qing came to Sun Kong's side, glanced a few times, confirmed his identity, and waved his hand: "Go find a doctor."

Then he squatted down, extended a finger to Sun Kong's chest, and discovered that Sun Kong's body was filled with extraordinarily mottled and chaotic true qi, which was the cause of Sun Kong's coma.

Shen Qing pointed out his domineering true qi, dissolving these mottled true qi one by one.

Soon Sun Kong's eyebrow twitched, he slowly regained consciousness, opened his eyes and saw Shen Qing, and immediately jumped up.

"Sun Kong pays his respects to Governor Shen!"

"Governor Shen, I finally get to see you! I have important information!"

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Kong coughed violently.

The scholar hurried forward and gently patted his back: "Don't rush, don't rush, speak slowly."

Sun Kong, face pale, shook his head: "Can't be slow."

"Governor Shen, someone in the White Dragon Sect wants to attack you! Several people want to ambush you, Governor Shen."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the surrounding Embroidered Uniform Guard all changed.

Sun Kong continued: "I overheard them say they want to slaughter a village to lure you out, Governor Shen, then they want to ambush you, aiming to seize something like a dragon-slaying."

As soon as the words "dragon-slaying" were spoken, the scholar and others all believed it.

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes; his innate six senses had already been activated, and he already knew someone wanted to ambush him. He had originally thought it was an old thing from the Zhu family, but now it's clear: it's the White Dragon Sect.

"Sun Kong, do you know which village they plan to slaughter, and where they intend to ambush you, Governor Shen?"

Sun Kong shook his head: "I don't know; I passed out at the time, but I heard there were several of them."

"There are five of them, apparently called something like Diyou Xing, Dichou Xing, Dicha Xing, Diyao Xing—I can't remember the last one."

The faces of the Embroidered Uniform Guard completely changed; although the last name wasn't spoken, it was obviously also a Disha Xing.

Five Disha Xing want to ambush Governor Shen?

They turned to look at Shen Qing, but saw his nonchalant expression, and everyone's worried hearts immediately relaxed.

Yeah, not knowing about the ambush would have been fine, but now that you know they want to ambush Governor Shen, Governor Shen can casually shake out a dozen or so Primordial Pills—then it's not certain who will ambush whom.

Shen Qing looked at Sun Kong: "Sun Kong, none of that matters; what's going on with your cultivation?"

Just now, while examining him, Shen Qing discovered that Sun Kong's cultivation had reached the Innate Realm, which is why he could withstand so much mottled true qi.

You know, a few months ago Sun Kong had no cultivation at all, and now he's suddenly reached the Innate Realm?

Sun Kong rubbed his chest: "That's a long story."

"That day, in Yongning Commandery, this group of White Dragon Sect people captured me; at the time I was thinking I was doomed, unable to repay Governor Shen's kindness."

"Later I found out they captured me to conduct an experiment, a kind of experiment that can plunder others' cultivation; apparently my physique is relatively good, I last longer, so they sent me to Qingzhou."

"When I arrived there, I discovered that many people like me were captured for experiments, but they all failed and died; only I survived. Dicha Xing also took me under his wing as a disciple, conducting experiments on me every day, and I also learned that this method is called the Flower-Splicing Grand Technique."

"Until a few days ago, when someone came during the experiment, they thought I had passed out; I eavesdropped on their conversation, and that's when I learned they wanted to ambush Governor Shen, so I seized the opportunity to come report."

The expressions of the people around changed again; Sun Kong had shocked them several times in just a short while.

What is the Flower-Splicing Grand Technique? Can it artificially create the Innate Realm?

Shen Qing nodded: "You did well."

The danger of the Flower-Splicing Grand Technique is enormous; if the White Dragon Sect truly mastered it, it would be a genuine weapon of war—mass-producing the Innate Realm? Then the Great Martial would truly be littered with corpses.

"Sun Kong, so you escaped from Dicha Xing's place, right? Do you still remember where?"

"I remember, it's right beneath Wolf Howl Valley to the south of Heaven Star City."

Wolf Howl Valley.

This place has been converted into a stronghold by the White Dragon Sect for many years.

At the same time, this place is an important site for the White Dragon Sect's human transformation experiments, specifically for Dicha Xing's experiments with the Flower-Splicing Grand Technique.

But today, Dicha Xing rare lost his temper, his voice echoing throughout the stronghold.

"Are you pigs? How did you let Sun Kong escape! Even if you all died, you wouldn't compare to a single hair of Sun Kong!"

"I tell you, if Sun Kong isn't found within three days, you'll all die for me!"

After letting out that roar, the entire stronghold fell silent; they knew Dicha Xing really could do it, having said he'd let them die, they truly would die.

After all, since Dicha Xing began this experiment, the number of people dead at his hands is probably no less than ten thousand.

Dicha Xing threw a punch, directly exploding the head of a sect member beside him.

"Are your ears deaf? Can't you hear my words? Then why aren't you going to look?"

This frightened the sect members; soon only he remained in the room.

Dicha Xing took a deep breath, calming his emotions.

"Damn, things just keep coming one after another—will it ever end?"

He reached out and touched his chest, feeling his heart's violent pounding.

"And why do I keep having a bad premonition today?"

Dicha Xing looked back at the ceiling behind him: "Surely the ceiling couldn't have collapsed, right?"

Immediately after, he gave a self-mocking laugh: "This ceiling is specially made."

But before his words faded, a loud rumbling came from above, as if something was rapidly collapsing.

Dicha Xing's face changed; the ceiling really had collapsed!

Immediately after, a fierce golden light appeared, the ceiling was directly cut open a large hole, and this golden light, undiminished in power, swiftly slashed toward Dicha Xing; Dicha Xing dodged sharply, but the floor suffered terribly.

The booming sounds continued nonstop.

Dicha Xing poked his head out to look below; his face grim, layer after layer had been collapsed by this golden light.

You know, the Wolf Howl Valley stronghold has twelve layers, each built of special materials, the lower down the sturdier, but now this attack has pierced through all twelve layers?

Dicha Xing turned his head to look upward; a gust of wind swept past, and Shen Qing descended slowly, holding the Dragon Slayer.

Dicha Xing's face paled somewhat; he recognized Shen Qing's face: "Shen Qing? How did you find this place?"

Shen Qing looked down at him: "You are Dichaxing?"

Dichaxing's heart skipped a beat—bad! He's coming for me!

He suddenly flung several steel needles at Shen Qing; Shen Qing didn't even blink, he waved a palm and the needles were flicked away. Immediately, Shen Qing moved, carrying the dragon-elephant roar, swiftly lunging at Dichaxing.

Dichaxing gathered yuan energy in his palm and slapped toward Shen Qing's face, but as soon as he moved, his wrist was seized by Shen Qing, and a golden light flashed.

With a crack, Dichaxing's wrist was broken by Shen Qing.

"Ah!!!"

Dichaxing let out a painful howl.

Shen Qing's eyes icy, he threw a punch; Dichaxing's other arm was directly blasted into a mist of blood.

Immediately, with a forceful toss, Dichaxing's whole body was slammed heavily onto the ground, only hearing two cracks.

Dichaxing's two thigh bones were also crushed into powder by Shen Qing.

In just a few blinks, Dichaxing completely lost the ability to resist.

Shen Qing grabbed Dichaxing's neck and lifted him up; Shen Qing's voice was calm.

"I came to this stronghold today for only two things."

"First, I want the Flower-Plucking and Wood-Joining Great Technique."

"Second, I need to know the movements of Diyouxing and his group."

A smile appeared on Shen Qing's face, but to Dichaxing it looked terrifying and evil.

"I suppose you'll tell me."
