Chapter 300: The Storm Approaches

The coming days were all full of joyous vigor.

The entire Capital City spent its time amid the sound of firecrackers.

The Shen family was no different.

Every day was extraordinarily lively, but this had nothing to do with Shen Qing.

Shen Qing's days now consisted of sitting in meditation every day on Chinese Unicorn Mountain, researching his newly acquired Chaos-level Entry 'Kill'.

This entry could be called the ultimate entry of the Slaughter Dao by the system; it is certainly not simple.

Shen Qing was pondering the use of this entry.

Naturally, there's no need to elaborate on the simple effect of enhancing other Slaughter Dao entries and the Slaughter Domain.

Meanwhile, behind the scenes, several members of the Shen family brought forward several death-row prisoners of the Elemental Dan Realm, whose shoulder blades and Qi Sea were locked.

"Young Master Shen Qing, I have already brought several death-row prisoners as you ordered; they are all extremely wicked."

Shen Qing nodded: "Very well, you may go."

There were four death-row prisoners in total; the lowest cultivation was first level of the Elemental Dan Realm, the highest was sixth level.

Shen Qing lifted his finger and removed the shackles that blocked their mouths.

Shen Qing calmly said: "Your names."

Although these death-row prisoners had previously been rather afraid of the Shen family, as just said by those Shen family members, they are death-row prisoners, the extremely wicked kind.

So now he didn't care about that either; a bearded, disheveled burly man snorted coldly: "Kid, you are again which..."

Before his words even fell, Shen Qing turned and glared at them; a mighty blood energy burst forth, and the Slaughter Domain instantly covered.

Having killed tens of millions in Japan, and now possessing the Chaos-level Entry 'Kill' and the blessing of the Color-level Entry Slaughter State, Shen Qing's Slaughter Domain is now a Sea of Blood and Mountain of Corpses.

In just an instant, these death-row prisoners rolled their eyes back, and Shen Qing's killing intent instantly penetrated their bodies.

Shen Qing said: "Names."

"Bai Yan."

"Liu San."

Shen Qing continued: "What crimes did you commit?"

"I slaughtered a village."

"I leaked the blueprints of the Sky-shaking Cannon from the Heavenly Craft Workshop."

"Last question, what is your greatest secret?"

"Externally I say I am my mother's son, but in fact I am my sister's child."

"I have an affair with the wives of my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother."

After this person finished answering, Shen Qing couldn't help but glance at him; this person is talented.

Soon all four had finished answering the questions, each revealing their greatest secret.

Shen Qing nodded in satisfaction, then raised his hand and beheaded the four.

This is another function of the Chaos Entry 'Kill' that Shen Qing discovered: using massive blood energy to instantly incapacitate the opponent, then controlling their mind, causing them to subconsciously answer Shen Qing's questions.

Suddenly, a voice came through the consciousness network: the Martial Emperor.

"Shen Qing, where are you?"

"I am on Chinese Unicorn Mountain."

These past few days, the Martial Emperor and our own ancestor have not appeared, and calling them in the consciousness network yielded no response.

Shen Qing already had a guess; it must be related to the Evil Spirits. He wasn't worried about them coming to harm, after all, both of their strengths had reached a point where plotting against them would be difficult.

Not long after, a rift opened in the sky above Chinese Unicorn Mountain, and the Martial Emperor and the Shen Family Ancestor stepped out, quickly descending before Shen Qing.

"Have you two been looking for Evil Spirits these past two days?"

"We went to the Borderland Battlefield."

Shen Qing raised an eyebrow: "Borderland Battlefield? Is that the place where you've been fighting the Evil Spirits?"

Zhu Wu nodded: "That's right, it's a midpoint connecting the two worlds."

"The Evil Spirits have always wanted to come over from there."

Shen Qing poured two cups of tea: "Is the situation urgent?"

Shen Wendao lifted his tea cup and drained it in one gulp: "Yes, just in these few days we have encountered three Evil Gods."

"They've gone mad; upon seeing us they launch suicidal attacks."

"From now on, the two of us should stay put in the Borderland Battlefield."

Zhu Wu snorted coldly: "It must be that we drove them to desperation; after returning just a short while ago, we already killed two of their Evil Spirits."

"There's also one that sounds very important, the Destroyer."

The Evil Spirit Clan, after all, numbers are few; they have recording methods within the clan, and whenever an Evil Spirit dies, the clan knows.

Shen Qing recounted everything that had happened in Japan over the past few days.

Zhu Wu laughed heartily: "No wonder they suddenly went crazy."

"But this counts as a good thing."

"They dispatched four Evil Spirits this time, surely to plot some great undertaking; but you forced them to go mad prematurely, so certainly many preparations remain undone."

"This also counts as good news."

Saying this, Zhu Wu took out several divine talismans from his bosom; these are the divine talismans capable of storing one attack from Zhu Wu and Shen Wendao.

"Come, keep these divine talismans for self-defense."

"Also, I have already given orders to Zhu Xuan and Shen Yun; they will obey you."

"The Hall of Martial Fortune, Shennong Academy, Divine Pharmacy Pavilion, and Heavenly Craft Workshop are the same as well."

"This time the Evil Spirits' offensive will surely be fierce; this world is now entrusted to you."

Shen Wendao calculated the time: "Alright, Shen Qing, we have to return to the Boundary Realm Battlefield now, otherwise we won't make it."

Shen Qing took the divine talisman and nodded: "I understand, go ahead without worry."

Old Ancestor Shen and Zhu Wu gave Shen Qing a solemn look, then tore open the void and rushed straight to the Boundary Realm Battlefield.

That night, after Shen Wendao and Zhu Wu departed,

Shen Qing's distant ancestor, Shen Yin, found Shen Qing, his face full of worry.

"Shen Qing, I have some bad news to tell you."

Shen Qing looked at Shen Yin.

Shen Yin swallowed, then spoke word by word.

"The passage from our world to the Boundary Realm Battlefield has been closed."

"Closed?"

"As for how to get to the Boundary Realm Battlefield, the Martial Emperor had already discussed it with Shen Qing."

"To reach the Boundary Realm Battlefield, one must pass through a purple gate, which lies in the Far North, where a Martial Saint is stationed year-round."

"However, Zhu Wu and Shen Wendao should have spent less than half a day in the Boundary Realm Battlefield."

Shen Yin continued: "Before the closure, the gate-guarding Martial Saint heard the Martial Emperor's voice; the Martial Emperor shouted, telling us to prepare, for evil spirits were coming, and then the passage slammed shut."

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes: "How many people know about the passage being closed?"

Shen Yin shook his head: "Probably only the two of us and Zhu Xuan from the Imperial Palace know."

"The Martial Saint currently guarding the gate is my third brother, Shen He, together with four other Martial Saints; after the passage closed, he immediately took control of the other four Martial Saints, preventing them from spreading the news."

"But this certainly isn't a solution; soon enough, some Martial Saint will discover that the passage is closed, and this cannot be kept secret."

Shen Qing shook his head, a flash of cold light crossing his eyes: "There's no need to deliberately conceal it; I just want to see who will panic and jump out."
