Chapter 97: Desire to Exterminate the Demon
The entire afternoon, Yin Qi spent dealing with disaster relief matters.
He had served as President in the Republic of China world for several years, and combined with his past experience in handling government affairs, presiding over disaster relief was merely a trivial matter; by the end of the afternoon, everything was arranged in an orderly fashion.
Although Di Yi's assessment was disaster relief, Yin Qi felt that disaster relief alone was definitely far from enough.
Because no matter how well disaster relief was done, it would be very difficult to form an absolute advantage over Yin Shou.
If he wanted to ascend to the position of Human Emperor, he had to surpass Yin Shou with an absolute advantage, and even conquer Yin Shou himself.
Only in this way could he convince the masses and quickly win the hearts of the subjects.
Therefore, Yin Qi decided that in addition to disaster relief, he would also carry out post-disaster reconstruction.
This was also the reason why he only allowed the prefecture to fully engage in disaster relief for three days and summoned all the immortal cultivators within the territory.
Letting the commoners eat their fill for three days would allow them to quickly recover their strength so they could participate in the subsequent post-disaster reconstruction; and summoning all the immortal cultivators within the territory was to borrow their power for rapid construction.
Around ten o'clock in the morning.
Zhang Shaokang and the other three exchanged glances and headed toward Qingshan Lake.
Yin Qi looked at Zhang Shaokang and the four of them and said, "Tell me, what level should this great demon occupying Qingshan Lake be at, and why would it stir up trouble and bring disaster to all directions?"
He activated the Blood Pellet, using the pure blood Qi within it, and followed a specific technique to stimulate and temper the Yongquan Acupoint.
If it were above the Earth Immortal Realm, then he could only seek help from Longji Gongzhu.
Seeing their majestic blood Qi gathered together, it would be too late to run, so how could it possibly take the initiative to deliver itself to their door?
"Your Highness, absolutely not."
If it were not the Earth Immortal Realm, with the combined strength of Zhang Shaokang and the four of them, it should not be difficult to deal with.
This was a very delicate process that consumed both spirit and time.
As for Zhang Shaokang, he only released the aura of the peak Earth Realm.
At night, the sky was filled with cold stars.
It was precisely because of this that the place was sparsely populated and filled with demon beasts.
Having made a decision, Yin Qi focused his mind on cultivation.
As for the "True Martial Divine Art," there was not a single martial technique that matched the acupoints.
If he cultivated the Thousand-Mile Foot, in case he really encountered any dangerous situation, he could escape in time, right?
Thousand-Mile Foot, as the name suggests, when cultivated to great completion, one could travel a thousand miles in a single step.
And these three days were just enough to first deal with the Hong River flood problem.
Yin Qi thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I will go as planned and bring three hundred guards. With them protecting me, as long as I don't get close to Qingshan Lake, the aftermath of your battle won't be able to hurt me. Alright, the matter is settled; you don't need to persuade me anymore."
According to the strategy they had discussed, Ding Ce and the other two restrained their entire aura and hid separately in large trees not far from the lake.
Yin Qi handed these supplies to the three hundred elite cavalrymen for safekeeping. If prefecture or county officials wanted to take supplies, they had to obtain his approval note; this could prevent corruption to the greatest extent and also ensure the safety of these supplies.
……
……
Every martial technique could be called a divine ability.
………
At worst, the four of them would just have to fight for their lives tomorrow.
If it were outside the ancestral land, it would not be strange to encounter demon immortals of any level.
Since then, it had not come out again.
In any case, Yin Qi must not be allowed to suffer the slightest harm, or even be frightened.
In fact, every acupoint had infinite potential to be tapped.
In addition to the hundreds of large pots set up in Hongcheng, a batch of disaster relief supplies was also urgently transported to other disaster-stricken counties below, and as these disaster victims finally had a full meal, the despair and numbness in their eyes were swept away.
Zhang Shaokang was greatly shocked and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, we are enough to slay the demon. A child of a thousand gold does not sit under a dangerous hall; how can you take risks and go personally?"
Yin Qi nodded slowly, signaling Ding Ce to continue.
That is to say, those who dared to come out and cause trouble were all ignorant demons.
For commoners to cross Qingyun Mountain, they either had to take a detour or go down along the waters of the Hong River.
Yin Qi and his group arrived at the shores of Qingshan Lake.
After Zhang Shaokang and the four of them left, Yin Qi also returned to his room and blew out the candle.
This was the Great Shang, the ancestral land of the human race.
If it weren't for the Fengshen War, they might not even come out of the mountains.
Three hundred guards could fight even against Heaven Realm powerhouses.
……
Ding Ce and the other two also persuaded him one after another: "Yes, Your Highness, your safety is paramount."
The stars shifted, and another day passed.
Although they were only Earth Realm individuals, they could form a powerful battle formation to face the enemy.
Zhang Shaokang and the four of them originally wanted to persuade him further, but seeing that Yin Qi had already made up his mind, they could only nod.
But in the ancestral land of the human race, demon clans that had become immortals either went far away or practiced in seclusion in the mountains, and would not easily come out to cause trouble.
Ding Ce's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he bowed and said, "Your Highness, this great demon should not have become an immortal (Earth Immortal) yet, because demon clans that have become immortals cannot possibly be unaware of our current Grand Tutor Wen Zhong. Now that our Great Shang is peaceful and strong, if they come out to cause trouble, that is purely seeking their own death."
Yin Qi's eyes flashed with cold light, and he said in a deep voice, "Regardless of whether it is intentional or not, the harm it has caused to our Great Shang commoners is indeed an established fact, and we must make it pay the price. I intend to go to Qingshan Lake tomorrow to slay this demon."
As for the demon beasts in the mountains.
Just like the Meishan Seven Monsters, they all practiced honestly in the mountains.
Ding Ce continued, "As for why this great demon wants to cause trouble, the specific reason cannot be known, but it should not be intentional, otherwise it wouldn't just be occasional flooding. Even if it were a Golden Core Realm water demon, if they wanted to stir up trouble, they would have the ability to destroy river embankments for thousands of miles and turn an area of ten thousand miles into a marshland."
The Yongquan Acupoint is an acupoint on the sole of the foot. Once these two acupoints are practiced, one can cultivate a light body technique from the "Human Emperor Scripture" called Thousand-Mile Foot.
There are 1296 acupoints in the whole body; which acupoint should one start practicing from?
The Heaven Realm is equivalent to the Demon Immortal Realm (Human Immortal Realm), and compared to immortal cultivators, the combat power of martial artists is also relatively stronger.
This is no longer a light body technique, but a divine ability.
Yongquan Acupoint.
He 'saw' thousands of bright points all over his body, densely covering every part of his body.
There were both bright acupoints and dark acupoints.
The bronze box contained a large amount of grain, medicine, cloth, and other supplies.
……
Although the mountain road was rugged, it was not a problem for Yin Qi's group, because even the weakest Jiao Blood Horses were equivalent to Foundation Establishment level demon beasts.
Subsequently, the four of them dispersed.
Soon, Yin Qi had a target.
This was a large lake, crescent-shaped as a whole, with the widest point exceeding two hundred miles, misty waves, many wild beasts drinking water by the river, and numerous birds soaring above it, a scene full of vitality.
……
But even for the "Human Emperor Scripture," there were only two martial techniques that matched the acupoints.
He arrived at the lake aggressively and shouted angrily, "Evil creature, come out yet! Return my brother's life!"
Before calculating victory, first consider defeat.
After greeting Prefect Jiang Yi, Yin Qi took Zhang Shaokang and the others, along with a guide, and headed straight for Qingshan Lake.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, looking inward at himself.
According to Prefect Jiang Yi, a Golden Core mid-stage cultivator had once gone deep into the lake.
Qingshan Lake is located deep in the Qingshan Mountains.
Compared to Phoenix Mountain, which has relatively gentle terrain, Qingyun Mountain has many dangerous peaks and strange cliffs, and the terrain is extremely steep.
Otherwise, with Hongzhou being so large, it would be impossible to complete post-disaster reconstruction in three months.
Yin Qi did not get close to the lake, and stayed with the three hundred guards and the guide on a hill more than ten miles away from the lake.
Let alone rugged mountain roads, even steep cliffs could be walked as if flying.
Prefecture Yamen.
It was reasonable for Zhang Shaokang to impersonate the younger brother of the Golden Core cultivator to come for revenge.
The great demon is a water demon; how unwise it would be to enter the lake!
To kill it, it should be lured out. ===== CHAPTER 98 =====
