~8 min read 1,475 words

"Then let's say out the positions of these great formations."

Zhang Miao reported seven place names in succession, Shen Qing narrowed his eyes, someone is not being honest, Shen Qing's innate sixth sense told him Zhang Miao was lying, half of the place names were fake.

"It seems some people are still not being honest."

Having said that, Shen Qing waved his hand: "Ma Qing, come ease the burden on the Hungry Ghost Dao, just use the move Old Li used a few days ago."

"Yes!"

Ma Qing coldly laughed as he drew the short knife he carried on his person: "Hungry Ghost Dao, right? Bear with it, my knife is a bit dull, one stroke might not cut through, need to cut several times."

Zhang Miao's eyelids twitched wildly, what does needing to cut several times mean? And still let him endure.

He looked toward Shen Qing: "Shen Qing, Shen Qing, I know I was wrong, I dare not lie again, I know I was wrong!"

But Shen Qing stood aside, turning a deaf ear.

Immediately after, the wailing cries rang out, this knife was indeed as Ma Qing said, a bit dull, he hard-heartedly cut six strokes.

During this period, the wailing cries never ceased.

After Ma Qing finished.

Zhang Miao was already lying on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Shen Qing walked over: "Now say the place names again."

Zhang Miao, with vacant eyes, recited the seven place names, this time telling the truth.

Shen Qing smiled: "That's more like it."

Saying that, he waved his hand: "Take him back to the prison to flay and tendon-extract."

Immediately two people came and dragged the wailing Zhang Miao away.

Jia He and Sun Chu walked to Shen Qing's side.

"Shen Qing, are we now directly going to observe Yun Mountain to arrest the master of the Reincarnation Tower?"

Shen Qing shook his head, raised his hand and pointed to the distant sky where dark clouds were rapidly approaching: "It's already too late."

Because of the copper pillars' shattering, the originally sealed fortune has faintly shown signs of breaking free, possibly due to long-term suppression, the fortune's rebound is especially obvious.

Moreover, this place is the border of Yunzhou, adjacent to Heyu Commandery, so the rain clouds came especially fast, Heyu Commandery's rain clouds were directly pulled over.

Soon, it will rain heavily here, and Ouyang Xuanzheng, who is on Yun Mountain, will surely know someone has destroyed the great formation.

Jia He looked at the fallen copper pillars on the ground, then suddenly said: "Shen Qing, if we now reinsert the copper pillars to pin down the fortune, could it work?"

As soon as he said this, the surrounding people all turned their heads to look at Jia He, another living Yama?

Shen Qing smiled: "Forget it, Yunzhou's fortune is already tottering, if you meddle a few more times, Yunzhou will truly be ruined thereafter."

"Moreover, the Reincarnation Tower is no longer in a hurry; now it's them who should be anxious, we just need to dismantle their great formation, and they will jump out themselves."

"Since this wind and rain are coming, let it come even more fiercely."

Saying that, Shen Qing flicked his finger, releasing dozens of sword lights, swiftly cutting the remaining copper pillars.

Bang bang bang!

As the last copper pillar was cut into fragments, wind and clouds surged between heaven and earth, blowing up sand and stones on the dry earth, the rain clouds in the distant sky rushed toward Yunzhou at an even more terrifying speed.

Shen Qing's Illusion-Dispelling Pupil had not yet faded; in his vision, a colossal divine dragon phantom shot straight into the clouds, and before entering the cloud layer, it gave Shen Qing a grateful glance.

At the same time, it transmitted a thought to Shen Qing: it will surely repay Shen Qing.

Immediately afterward, it plunged into the cloud layer without looking back.

Thunder began to roar, and the air carried a damp scent.

Shen Qing spread his palm, a drop of rain fell onto his palm, soon this rain became visibly intense to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, outside a small town in the distance, a six- or seven-year-old child collapsed on the ground, skin waxen yellow, lips chapped, he had gone several days without water.

A woman knelt before the child, eye sockets red, yet she could not shed a tear, for she too was nearly dead from thirst, her body had no excess moisture left for tears, she looked pained at her own child: "Child, it's mother's fault, I couldn't find water."

The same situation occurred throughout this small town.

Suddenly, the child raised his finger: "Mother... mother... rain..."

At that moment, a hoarse shout rose from the refugees: "Rain! It's raining! It's raining!"

"Heaven has shown its spirit! Finally..."

Only seen in the distance, the heavy rain swiftly swept in, everyone strained their necks upward, opened their mouths, greedily enjoying the rain.

This is not just a simple rain, it represents their survival.

Yun Mountain, mountain peak.

A youthful-looking Ouyang Xuanzheng stood silently on the mountain peak, his eyes filled with tranquility, although he still appeared youthful, in fact Ouyang Xuanzheng has lived over three hundred years.

He gazed at the enormous rain clouds over Yunzhou's border: "It seems an extraordinary person has come this time."

"Why do you all always try to stop me?"

Having said that, he stepped forward with one foot, straight up into the clouds, disappearing into the cloud layer.

Yunzhou border.

Nine white cranes pulled a carriage, grandly flying into Yunzhou from the sky.

And seated in the carriage was a youth with an arrogant expression, this person is Shen Qing's second young master, Shen Yun'ya.

He looked at the parched land below, he coldly snorted, killing intent flashed in his eyes: "Finally arrived in Yunzhou, Shen Qing, Shen Qing, we will meet again."

"Your life is truly long-lasting."

At that moment, outside the carriage, a middle-aged man in white clothes laughed and spoke: "Shen General, do you really want to deal with that Shen Qing? He is your third brother."

Shen Qing's training was to go south and join the Embroidered Uniform Guard, while Shen Yun'ya's training was to go north to the army, these years he has also killed his way to the position of Grand General.

The white-clothed middle-aged man continued speaking.

"Moreover, the name Shen Qing is now being spread throughout the Great Martial Realm, his reputation is not small."

Shen Yun'ya raised his wine cup and took a sip: "He only reached the Tempered Body Realm at eighteen, now he must have had some fortunate encounter."

At this moment, a dark-skinned man beside him spoke up: "General Shen, no matter how great the reputation, it's still just a reputation. Why don't I step forward first and exchange a few moves with this Shen Qing to see if he's qualified to be your opponent, General?"

Purple Cloud City.

Northern Pacification Office.

Shen Qing sat in the courtyard, the colored entries of his finger technique had already been successfully synthesized, and Shen Qing also gained a new entry: Annihilation Finger (Colored).

These past few days, the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Shadow Guard have been destroying the feng shui formations of the Wheel-Reversal Tower, and the number of killings has been rising in a straight line, while the seized karmic power has also been increasing.

Shen Qing can already feel the existence of this power, and at the same time has a premonition that as long as he kills a few more Golden Core cultivators, he will be able to fully master this power.

To be honest, Shen Qing is still very much looking forward to it—let alone the Golden Core realm, even Martial Saints are bound by karma, so just how powerful and domineering this power truly is, Shen Qing is genuinely eager to find out.

Shen Qing stood up, walked out of the room, and the sound of dripping water began.

It was the sound of rain.

Shen Qing yesterday shattered a major formation near Purple Cloud City.

That's why Purple Cloud City is now experiencing rain, unfortunately, they still haven't caught the Animal Path cultivators.

They seem to have noticed that Shen Qing is dealing with them, so they've all gone into hiding.

At this moment, a scholar walked into the courtyard holding an oil-paper umbrella.

"Boss, I just came back from outside—do you know what people outside are calling you now?"

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows: "Could it be I've got another nickname again?"

The scholar smiled and nodded: "Everyone in Yunzhou now knows this heavy rain was brought by you, Boss."

"They're all calling you Dragon King now—saying that when Shen Dragon King arrives, the rain comes."

"Now they want to build a shrine for you, Boss."
