Chapter 276: Damn, this kid is showing off again! (6k)

The Qing Luo Beast had already learned from the Peng Emperor that the one who killed the Spider Emperor was a silver-haired woman wearing a veil.

It was almost certain that the other party was at least in the late Soul Severance realm, or even stronger.

Anyway, the Spider Emperor couldn't even hold on for one round in her hands before being instantly crushed.

Of course, he had also seen this woman; on the island, he saw with his own eyes the Peng Emperor Feng Feng Xuan Ling appear, with a human girl caught in his sharp claws.

At that time, the Peng Emperor personally informed him that the Spider Emperor died because she trespassed on Taiyao Mountain.

At first, he didn't believe it, until news came from his subordinates that Wei Lun Yao had led many demon kings to go, and he finally believed it.

To prevent this guy from stealing his home, he even specifically invited the Peng Emperor to go together, but was refused, until the silver-haired veiled woman mentioned by the Dragon Emperor appeared, and he fled in a sorry state.

Now it is basically certain that the Peng Emperor has reached some kind of cooperative relationship with the other party.

But what exactly it is, is unknown, but it has to be guarded against.

After all, no one wants to be the next fallen Spider Emperor Ye Luo.

And facing the Qing Luo Beast's greeting, Zhou Qing ignored it, but suddenly looked toward the top of his head.

Just now, Master Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo, who was hiding not far away, suddenly transmitted to him urgently.

He said that something suddenly appeared in the void, but he couldn't determine the specific location of the hider, reminding him to be careful.

In an instant, golden light burst from Zhou Qing's eyes, and the original golden pupils strangely turned into double pupils.

Especially the two red pupils that appeared, like two burning blood moons, emitting a strange aura.

What was even more terrifying was that a pitch-black spider phantom vaguely appeared in the depths of the pupils, and the opening and closing of its mouthparts seemed to have invisible sound waves causing ripples in the void.

Under the enhancement of his pupils, the air three hundred zhang high in the sky suddenly twisted eerily, and then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, ripples began to spread out in layers.

This scene caused the Dragon Emperor and the Qing Luo Beast to look up together, their faces changing slightly.

Only to see a pair of scarlet horns covered in spikes quietly penetrating from the ripples, until a figure about ten feet tall, with its tail split into three bone blades, was forced out from within.

"Wei Lun Yao—" Zhou Qing whispered.

The appearing Wei Lun Yao looked at the soul-stirring double pupils, his Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and he forced a smile: "Brother Feng, long time no see!"

Zhou Qing snorted coldly: "I thought you were preparing to sneak attack this Emperor!"

Wei Lun Yao waved his hands repeatedly, the dark red scales colliding and making a metallic sound: "Brother Feng, what are you saying! How would this brother dare to have such a thought."

After all, he had heard about the fall of the Spider Emperor Ye Luo from the Dragon Emperor; this matter could not be separated from the Peng Emperor.

And the Dragon Emperor and the Qing Luo Beast looked at Wei Lun Yao with solemn expressions; when did this guy possess such a divine ability, being able to approach silently without them noticing at all?

Of course, this is not the point—

At this moment, the three Demon Emperors looked at the double pupils in Zhou Qing's eyes together.

The Dragon Emperor knew that the Spider Emperor Ye Luo had awakened the bloodline talent 【Double Pupils】; he had already told the whole story when facing the questioning of the other two Demon Emperors earlier.

After all, he didn't want to be a scapegoat for no reason.

If he wasn't mistaken, how could the divine ability of the ancestor 【Void Spider】 awakened by the Spider Emperor appear on the Peng Emperor?

What is going on?

Did the silver-haired veiled woman help him get it?

If this is true, the relationship between the two is probably far closer than imagined.

At this time, Zhou Qing slowly put away the double pupils; after all, this thing really consumed too much spiritual power.

However, this was the first time he had seen Wei Lun Yao's appearance; if it weren't for Master Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo's reminder, he might have really fallen for it.

The means of the Soul Severance realm are really hard to guard against.

Forcing himself to calm his rapid heartbeat, Zhou Qing's gaze was like electricity, scanning the three Demon Emperors before him, and he said in a deep voice: "I heard a new guest has arrived; why, do you want this Emperor to invite you to show yourself personally?"

As soon as the words fell, a hearty laugh that shook the clouds suddenly came from the distant sky.

Immediately after, a crimson figure tore through the void, galloping over with rolling heat waves.

Wherever it passed, it actually burned a scarlet trajectory in the void.

When the figure stopped, a giant beast twenty feet tall revealed its true form.

This was a demon tiger burning with red flames, and the dark red tiger hair stood up like steel needles.

Especially between its forehead, a diamond-shaped red-gold bone armor was strangely embedded, with ancient runes faintly flowing.

"I have long wanted to see Brother Feng's demeanor, but unfortunately I heard you were in seclusion; seeing you today, it really lives up to its reputation!"

When the Red-Shattering Tiger Venerable spoke, rolling poisonous smoke carrying the stench of rotting flesh surged out, and wherever it fell, the void actually rippled like asphalt.

Zhou Qing looked at him indifferently, his heart suddenly stirred.

According to the information in the jade slip given by Master Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo, this tiger emperor calls himself the Red-Shattering Tiger Venerable, with mid-stage Soul Severance realm cultivation, and the demon emperors all call him "Red-Shattering."

Perhaps this outsider is the perfect candidate to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

Otherwise, facing four high-and-mighty Demon Emperors, as long as one person raises a doubt, he will be doomed.

"Red-Shattering, there should be a limit to joining the fun. This is our business; your hand is stretched too long." Zhou Qing scolded coldly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Red-Shattering Tiger Venerable's face hesitated.

He is not a fool; he can see that whether it is the Dragon Emperor, the Qing Luo Beast, or Wei Lun Yao, they are all secretly wary of the Peng Emperor at this moment.

Plus the death of the Spider Emperor, it seems it was because she made a move against his Black Feather Peak, so she ended up in a miserable death.

But he couldn't just leave in a sorry state because of his words, which would be too faceless.

He is still a Demon Emperor after all!

After thinking clearly, the Red-Shattering Tiger Venerable said: "Brother Feng, I have also heard about the whole story of this matter; that Ye Luo can be considered to have died deservedly."

"I, Red-Shattering, just hate seeing people making waves while you are in seclusion; this Spider Emperor's territory, no matter what, should be your spoils of war..."

"Get out!"

Before the Red-Shattering Tiger Venerable could finish, Zhou Qing spoke coldly.

"W-what?" The Red-Shattering Tiger Venerable's eyes narrowed; this Peng Emperor really doesn't leave any face at all.

And the Dragon Emperor and others looked at each other, not saying a word.

"I said, this is our business; you can go!" Zhou Qing's tone was as cold as frost.

The Red-Shattering Tiger Venerable's face darkened instantly, and he snorted coldly.

"Brother Feng, don't take kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs..."

Swish!

Before the Red-Shattering Tiger Venerable could finish, Zhou Qing instantly turned into a golden lightning bolt and disappeared in place.

The Red-Shattering Tiger Venerable's pupils shrank, and he immediately retreated, his tiger claws instinctively waving forward to block.

Boom!

While the other Demon Emperors were still stunned, only a roar suddenly rang out.

Immediately after, they saw the Red-Shattering Tiger Venerable's huge body flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

And then it hit the mountain peak a hundred miles away heavily; the entire mountain range made an unbearable groan, and the top of the mountain was instantly razed to the ground.

And Zhou Qing waved his golden wings, standing in the air, looking coldly down at the Red-Shattering Tiger Venerable who was constantly vomiting blood and crawling out in a sorry state.

The Dragon Emperor and others couldn't believe it; that aura just now was... mid-stage Soul Severance realm!

This guy really broke through!

And Master Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo, who was hiding not far away, sighed lightly.

"This little guy is showing off again!"

Personally using the Soul Severance realm attack twice, for Zhou Qing, the benefits are also huge.

And in a more distant hidden place, Shen Yunzhou held a jade pendant emitting a faint light, the light covering his whole body like a light veil.

He lay in ambush, and even someone as sharp as Master Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo didn't notice it at all.

At this moment, he stared at the situation in the field, his eyes full of shock.

From the beginning of the event to the climax, he followed the whole way and witnessed the whole process.

"Too awesome, playing several Demon Emperors like fools; how much acting and psychology does this take!" Shen Yunzhou was full of admiration.

"No wonder elder sister and that Master Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo like to cooperate with Brother Zhou; this is the real strength!"

Shen Yunzhou muttered to himself, then quietly crawled forward and took out an image stone to record it for future study.

"This Emperor doesn't want to let the one at the border pick up a bargain, but I don't want to say the same thing a second time!" Zhou Qing said.

The Red-Shattering Tiger Venerable wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a flash of fear in his eyes, but still roared strongly: "Feng Feng Xuan Ling, I will definitely repay today's humiliation in the future!"

After speaking, his figure flashed, turning into a blood light and fleeing in a sorry state.

Zhou Qing withdrew his gaze, looked at the blood clouds gradually dissipating in the sky, and then slowly turned around.

His figure moved, directly transforming into the appearance of the Peng Emperor.

I, Zhou Qing, am a person who holds grudges; since Master Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo gave him these things, then don't use them for nothing.

Otherwise, they would be taken back anyway.

"Congratulations, Brother Feng, congratulations!" The three Demon Emperors also transformed into the appearance of middle-aged men and came forward to congratulate with smiles.

Zhou Qing just nodded slightly and said: "This Emperor just relied on the protection of the ancestors and obtained some inheritance from the Old Peng King from the ancient years from the Eastern Region of Lingyun Prefecture, and luckily broke through."

The three Demon Emperors were full of envy after hearing this.

Zhou Qing changed the subject: "Let's be direct; the Spider Emperor was solved by a friend of mine. Who told her to covet my cave? Brother Xuan, don't you think so?"

He looked at the Dragon Emperor Brother Xuanqiu with a gaze like a torch, smiling but not smiling.

Brother Xuanqiu's face instantly flushed red, and he hurriedly put on an indignant look: "Exactly! Although I went with Ye Luo, it was actually to persuade her, but she was obsessed and died deservedly!"

Qing Luo Beast and Wei Lun Yao heard this and chuckled, their faces full of disdain.

Back then, after the Spider Emperor Ye Luo awakened the 【Double Pupils】, you two joined forces to come and invite us to go together.

But we have always been cautious, and after not truly confirming whether the Peng Emperor had fallen, we refused and watched the changes.

And Zhou Qing glanced at the three of them indifferently and said: "Brother Xuan's territory has now become like that because of this Emperor; his choice of Ye Luo's place is also reasonable."

"Who agrees, who opposes?" Zhou Qing looked at the two Demon Emperors, Qing Luo Beast and Wei Lun Yao, and said in a calm tone.

The two looked at each other; what else could they say.

After all, the reason they came here back then was just to join in the fun.

And now, the treasures and resources that should have been looted in these few years have basically been looted.

If they continue to stay, they might be the next Red-Shattering Tiger Venerable; at that time, the situation would be ugly.

"Everything follows Brother Feng's arrangement!" The two Demon Emperors bowed respectfully.

Brother Xuanqiu, hearing this, had a look of joy on his face.

Although his own Blood Prison Mountain is now full of negative emotions, it has no impact on him and some demon kings.

And it will dissipate in a few hundred years; at that time, he will be the one occupying the territory of two families alone, simply making a huge profit.

"That's good. Brother Xuan and I still have some matters to discuss; if you two have nothing urgent, go back first. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely visit to thank you!" Zhou Qing nodded slightly and said in a peaceful tone.

The two Demon Emperors looked at each other, nodded slowly, bowed respectfully again, and turned to leave.

Soon, a large number of demon kings and their subordinates followed their own demon emperors to retreat.

For a time, demon winds howled, and the soaring demon aura spread in all directions.

"Many thanks, Brother Feng, for presiding over justice for me!" At this moment, the Dragon Emperor Brother Xuanqiu looked at Zhou Qing with gratitude.

Zhou Qing stared at him tightly, not saying a word.

For a time, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

Brother Xuanqiu, who was originally smiling, saw this situation, and the smile on his face gradually solidified.

"Brother, Brother Feng—" Brother Xuanqiu's voice was a bit nervous, stammering, his eyes revealing a trace of unease.

But the next moment, Zhou Qing suddenly smiled slightly and said slowly: "I just have one question: why did Ye Luo make a move against my friend in your territory?"

Brother Xuanqiu, hearing this, panicked and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "Brother Feng, you really misunderstood; it really has nothing to do with me."

"That woman harbored evil intentions and simply wanted to pull me in to deal with you, but I sternly refused her several times."

"She acted like this, just like... just like the Four Flowers Gathering at the Top that manifested in the world many years ago."

"It was purely to cause misunderstanding in others, so as to frame them!"

Zhou Qing nodded slightly after hearing this and said: "Oh, so that's how it is; okay, I still believe in Brother Xuan's character."

Brother Xuanqiu, hearing this, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression relaxed slightly.

But immediately, Zhou Qing spoke again: "Now that Brother Xuan has two pieces of territory, I think stepping into the mid-stage Soul Severance realm is just around the corner."

Brother Xuanqiu, hearing this, immediately said: "That step is too difficult; I estimate I won't be able to take that step in this life, unlike Brother Feng, whose talent is excellent and whose progress is astonishing."

Brother Xuanqiu said with emotion.

"Moreover, the Spider Emperor's territory was actually occupied for Brother Feng; I never thought of taking it as my own." Brother Xuanqiu emphasized again, full of sincerity.

Zhou Qing, hearing this, waved his hand lightly and said: "Brother Xuan, don't misunderstand; this Emperor is telling the truth. After this breakthrough in cultivation, I have no interest in these worldly benefits."

"Coming here this time, I actually have two things to discuss with Brother Xuan." Zhou Qing stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.

Brother Xuanqiu, hearing this, felt a trace of suspicion in his heart, but didn't say much, just quietly looked at Zhou Qing, waiting for his next words.

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "When I came out of seclusion today, I ran into Master Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo, and we fought briefly and stopped tacitly."

"Afterward, we reached a condition; from now on, he can stop participating in matters here."

Brother Xuanqiu finished listening, a flash of doubt in his eyes, and stepped forward to ask: "Oh, what condition?"

Zhou Qing turned his gaze to Brother Xuanqiu and said: "Your Blood Prison Mountain is now shrouded in the negative emotions after Ye Luo's fall; how many subordinates have now become tomb-guarding beasts?"

Brother Xuanqiu showed a look of bitterness and sighed helplessly: "The matter happened too suddenly; about seventy percent became tomb-guarding beasts due to weak mental power."

Zhou Qing nodded slightly, with a trace of regret in his expression, and said slowly: "That's a million people; so many subordinates who once followed you have fallen into such a muddled state, which is truly sigh-worthy."

"I think you must not want to see your former subordinates end up like this."

Brother Xuanqiu sighed lightly, his face bitter: "Who says not? But if you really want me to do it myself to help them get relief, I really can't bear to."

Zhou Qing's gaze flickered, then said: "That's perfect; for the next ten years, let the humans explore Blood Prison Mountain. You just need to move away what should be moved."

Brother Xuanqiu, hearing this, immediately refused, saying loudly: "How can this be? That is the territory I have operated for thousands of years; how can I just hand it over to humans?"

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression calm: "You don't want to? Then fine, Master Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo might choose a new place to train troops, for example, here!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the Thousand Illusion Secret Cave, which was also full of scars.

Brother Xuanqiu was stunned, slowly cast his gaze toward this mess, and then sighed long.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and asked: "Is it really only ten years?"

Zhou Qing smiled faintly and comforted: "With me as a guarantee, what are you worried about? Moreover, ten years is nothing; for you and me, it's just a snap of the fingers."

Brother Xuanqiu fell into contemplation, his eyes full of hesitation and struggle.

After a long time, he took a deep breath and said: "Okay!"

Zhou Qing nodded with satisfaction and praised: "You made a wise choice; don't worry, in the end, what is yours is yours; no one will fight with you."

"What about the second thing?" Brother Xuanqiu looked up and asked.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but cough lightly and then said slowly: "How much do you think Ye Luo's Thousand Illusion Secret Cave is worth if converted into spirit stones?"

Brother Xuanqiu was stunned, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he instantly understood something.

No, didn't you just say that after your cultivation broke through, you have no interest in these?

How come you started estimating the price in a blink of an eye?

What do you mean?

Zhou Qing said calmly: "Then this Emperor won't beat around the bush. Asking that friend to make a move, I also paid a not-so-small price, and there are so many mouths waiting in Taiyao Mountain."

"Moreover, from beginning to end, I haven't moved anything in this Thousand Illusion Secret Cave, and all the cheapness has been left to you."

Hearing this, Brother Xuanqiu was silent for a while; it seemed to be the truth.

"Brother Feng, I am now homeless; for the sake of our neighborly relationship, give me a real price!" Brother Xuanqiu sighed slightly.

Zhou Qing smiled, a trace of cunning in his eyes: "Okay, I am not a lion opening its mouth; one price, fifty supreme-grade wood-attribute spirit stones."

Dragon Emperor: "..."

"Humans have a saying that I think is quite good: a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as one's own dog nest; I think my own Blood Prison Mountain is actually quite good."

Brother Xuanqiu said seriously.

Zhou Qing smiled and said: "Eh, there are no outsiders here; can we bargain? Forty, really can't be less."

Brother Xuanqiu hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Feng, this is not a matter of spirit stones, but my brother is homesick. After all, I have operated Blood Prison Mountain for so many years; suddenly giving it up, I really can't bear it."

Zhou Qing frowned slightly, his tone carrying a trace of impatience: "Thirty, this is this Emperor's bottom line!"

Brother Xuanqiu showed bitterness and said helplessly: "Brother Feng, what the Thousand Illusion Secret Cave looks like now, you have seen it."

"These three have grabbed a lot of good things in these few years, and now they pat their butts and leave, leaving such a mess for me."

Zhou Qing's face was already extremely displeased, and even the look in his eyes toward the Dragon Emperor had a trace of murderous intent, snorting coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, fifteen, if it works, it works; if not, forget it!"

As a dignified Soul Severance realm expert, and occupying such a large territory, I don't believe you can't take out such a little thing.

And Brother Xuanqiu, seeing Zhou Qing displeased, knew that he had tested the bottom line.

And it's actually quite good for him to want something; otherwise, giving him such a large piece of territory for nothing, he wouldn't be at ease even if he guarded it.

At this moment, he hurriedly said: "Okay, fifteen it is!"

Zhou Qing: "..."

Damn, asked for too little!

"Three days, at most three days, I will personally send it to Taiyao Mountain!" Brother Xuanqiu stretched out three fingers and said.

Zhou Qing directly stretched out his hand and said coldly: "Now."

"Now?" Brother Xuanqiu was stunned, a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Zhou Qing frowned slightly and said: "Yes, urgent need; why, is there a problem?"

Brother Xuanqiu hurriedly shook his head, and then gritted his teeth, reached out and patted his storage bag, and fifteen supreme-grade wood-attribute spirit stones emitting soft green light appeared in his hand.

Zhou Qing was cursing in his heart.

Clearly a simple matter, why wait three days and go around such a big circle?

But he remained calm on the surface, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Many thanks!" Zhou Qing still put the spirit stones away with excitement, a trace of joy that could not be hidden in his eyes.

Brother Xuanqiu felt a pain in his heart, but he still forced a smile and said: "Brother Feng, actually I still have one thing I need your help with..."

Zhou Qing didn't wait for him to finish and interrupted directly: "I have many things to deal with recently, and I estimate you are also very busy."

"The human border will enter Blood Prison Mountain to train troops in a few days; move the important things away early!"

"If there is anything, let's talk next time; I have something to do, I'm leaving first!"

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, his figure flashed, re-transforming into a Golden-Winged Peng, spread his wings, and turned to leave without hesitation.

After all, the Second Grandfather's puppet has a time limit; he knows this too well.

Moreover, now that the money is in hand, the task assigned by Master Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo is completed, and a new balance has been reached between the major demon emperors.

If he stays any longer, he will be exposed.

Looking at the back that became a golden dot in the blink of an eye, the Dragon Emperor Brother Xuanqiu couldn't help but scratch his head.

Why does it feel a bit strange, but I can't say where?

And Master Prince Xuan Yuan Shuo, who saw this scene, shook his head slightly, and then his figure moved, chasing quickly.

"You go back to the border first, I still have something to deal with!"

After speaking, he tore through space and chased in the direction where the Red-Shattering Tiger Venerable fled.

The border needs to reach a new balance, but it also needs restraint; mutual suspicion is the best balance.
