Chapter 77 Hundred Refinements Demon Body

【Name: Ji Ya】

【Gender: Male】

【Age: 12】

【Loyalty (Sect Leader / School): 91 / 12 (Max 100)】

【Cultivation Aptitude: Excellent】

【Comprehension Ability: Excellent】

【Fate: Clear Distinction Between Gratitude and Grievance, Hundred Refinements Demonic Body】

【Clear Distinction Between Gratitude and Grievance: He will definitely do his utmost to repay those who have shown him kindness, and spare no effort to seek revenge against his enemies.】

【Hundred Refinements Demonic Body: After stepping into Cultivation, all the power he can bear is one hundred times that of others in the same Realm.】

… As expected, he possesses a special fate!

He wondered whether this Hundred Refinements Demonic Body was refined by a demonic School or if it was Innate.

Li Qingqiu was quite interested in the Hundred Refinements Demonic Body; did the power it could bear include Origin Qi?

If, after Cultivating Immortality, the Hundred Refinements Demonic Body possessed one hundred times the Origin Qi of others in the same Realm, that would be incredible and worth replicating.

After returning, he would immediately have Ji Ya Cultivate Immortality; with the Clear Distinction Between Gratitude and Grievance fate, he could confidently teach Ji Ya the ways of Immortality.

He put Ji Ya down, then performed the Rejuvenating Ghost Immortal Needle to help him recover his strength.

Ji Ya’s body contained a massive amount of Qi; although it wasn’t exactly Origin Qi, it was similar, and helping him regulate this Qi would allow him to regain mobility.

After a moment, Ji Ya opened his eyes, his complexion rapidly improving.

“Try to walk.”

Li Qingqiu said softly, then let Ji Ya stand.

With his support, Ji Ya shakily touched the ground, and only when he straightened his body did he fully regain control.

“Thank you, Big Brother…”

Ji Ya looked at Li Qingqiu and said timidly.

Although he didn’t know Li Qingqiu’s background, he could tell that the other party was here to save him and had also treated him.

“Follow me, there are still people inside waiting for us to rescue.”

After Li Qingqiu finished speaking, he walked forward, and Ji Ya cautiously followed behind him.

Afterward, Li Qingqiu successively found other living children. He first carried them out of the water vats, gathered them together, and then treated them one by one.

This underground space contained over two hundred water vats, but only six people survived.

The other five children did not possess such a massive amount of Qi as Ji Ya; presumably, their soaking time was not too long, which was why they hadn’t died yet.

Once they woke up, Li Qingqiu accepted them into the Qingxiao Sect one by one.

Unfortunately, none of these children had special fates.

On the way back, Li Qingqiu promised them that if they encountered their parents, they could go home first, settle down, and then go to the Qingxiao Sect to learn martial arts in a few years.

Returning to the large courtyard, Li Qingqiu instructed the six children, including Ji Ya, to wait while he went out and asked Zhang Yuchun to fetch six sets of clothes.

The weaker Qingxiao Sect Disciples were responsible for carrying the luggage, and they had prepared a lot of clothing for this trip.

Zhang Yuchun quickly handed the clothes to Li Qingqiu, while also being very curious why Senior Brother had made such a request.

When Li Qingqiu led the six children, including Ji Ya, who were now properly dressed, to the Qingxiao Sect Disciples, the Disciples all stood up and gathered around.

Li Qingqiu briefly explained the situation, which enraged the Qingxiao Sect Disciples, who angrily denounced the demonic School for its heinous crimes and declared that retribution would surely come.

“Let’s go. There might be many more such tunnels in this city.”

Li Qingqiu spoke, and the other Disciples immediately stood up and followed him away.

He instructed Lin Chuan to continue searching underground.

Sure enough, there were hidden passages beneath other mansions.

In the underground palace of another mansion, they found dozens of common people.

These people had all been severely beaten and were covered in wounds, but thankfully, none were fatally injured.

The Qingxiao Sect Disciples realized something: the Sect Leader’s perception was incredibly sharp.

Every time he stopped and glanced around, he could find the trapped individuals.

The True Disciples explained that the School’s ultimate techniques could enhance the senses, and the reason the Sect Leader could achieve this level was certainly due to his extremely high mastery of those techniques.

“Senior Brother, the demonic School has only occupied the Prefectural City for just over a month.

It’s impossible for them to have built so many secret tunnels and palaces.

I suspect these places have been built for many years, which might be why the demonic School chose Guzhou Prefecture’s Prefectural City,” Zhang Yuchun said, arriving beside Li Qingqiu and speaking in a low voice.

Cheng Canghai walked up and said, “I remember something.

The current Emperor lived in Guzhou Prefecture for two years before ascending the throne.”

“If that’s the case, then the Emperor truly has been scheming meticulously.”

Li Qingqiu replied softly.

He thought of the deceased Prefect, a man he had not yet met.

Since the Prefect is dead, Prince Yan Lan, who is far away in Zhenyang Imperial City, will likely face trouble as well.

They continued forward, never encountering any demonic School Martial Artists, but instead, relying on Lin Chuan, they rescued more and more common people.

Not all mansions contained underground palaces; only a few large ones did.

The gardens and furnishings within these mansions were extraordinary, appearing wealthy and grand, suggesting they were residences purchased by the Emperor back then.

As more and more people were rescued, the crowd following behind the Qingxiao Sect grew larger.

However, Li Qingqiu did not encounter any more children like Ji Ya being soaked in water vats.

Perhaps the medicinal materials in those vats were limited and could not be used extensively.

Time gradually approached evening, and the sky began to turn yellow.

Li Qingqiu stopped and turned around.

A massive crowd was following behind him.

Seeing him turn, the Qingxiao Sect Disciples also looked back and were astonished by the crowd behind them.

Had they unknowingly rescued this many people?

“Let’s stop here for now.

We should first escort this group out, and we can enter the city again tomorrow to check.”

Li Qingqiu said.

Zhang Yuchun and Jiang Zhaoxia nodded; they had no objections.

The closer it got to night, the more they felt the atmosphere of the Prefectural City city was wrong, worrying that the demonic School was planning some scheme.

Just then, a gust of wind swept by, causing many people to turn their heads.

Li Qingqiu turned to look.

There were no living people on the long street ahead, but there were many corpses.

At the end of the long street was the city gate, beyond which the mountains rose and fell.

The strong wind came from outside the city.

“Wind, come!”

A loud voice came from the direction of the city gate, arriving abruptly and strangely, giving many people goosebumps.

Following the sound, they looked up and saw a Daoist appear above the city gate.

The Daoist held a lantern with a wooden sword and grasped a red flag in his other hand.

His posture was extremely sinister, and an unusual cold smile hung on his face.

“Demonic… Demonic Daoist!”

A middle-aged man pointed toward the city gate and said tremblingly.

The other common people were also terrified and dared not move forward.

“Sect Leader, he is that Daoist Master Wei.

He is indeed very sinister.”

Cheng Canghai approached Li Qingqiu and said softly.

Li Qingqiu remained silent, his gaze fixed on Daoist Master Wei at the top of the city gate.

Daoist Master Wei changed his stance, adopting an odd posture, and shouted loudly, “Thunderclap!”

Boom!

Thunder rumbled, startling the common people, who immediately knelt down.

The Qingxiao Sect Disciples were also frightened.

Could this Demonic Daoist truly possess Spells?

Jiang Zhaoxia and Xu Ning frowned as they looked up.

Rolling thunderclouds began to gather in the sky, and lightning faintly flashed.

“Not enough! Not enough! Azure Heaven, please respond to this poor Daoist again!”

Daoist Master Wei shouted angrily.

As his voice fell, the thunder in the sky grew louder and soon reached a deafening level, as if the heavens were about to collapse.

At this point, all the Qingxiao Sect Disciples, except for Li Qingqiu, were trembling nervously, looking at Daoist Master Wei in disbelief.

“There really are Demonic Daoists like this in the world…”

Li Yang stood on the edge of the crowd, looking at Daoist Master Wei, his tone filled with shock and suspicion.

Zhao Linglong stood behind him, equally unable to comprehend this scene.

Su Xiling thought of the scene she had witnessed previously in Zhenyang Imperial City, and her expression grew increasingly grim.

Daoist Master Wei waved his flag toward the long street, frightening the vast majority of people into subconsciously retreating, rolling back like a human wave.

“You mortals, dare you resist the might of Heaven?

Hurry and kneel down to worship the Azure Heaven!

Otherwise, the majestic heavenly thunder will surely strike your bodies, causing your forms and spirits to perish, never to be reborn!”

Daoist Master Wei’s voice was exceptionally loud, and coupled with the thunder filling the sky, it brought immense pressure upon the Qingxiao Sect and the common people.

More and more common people knelt down and kowtowed toward Daoist Master Wei.

The Qingxiao Sect Disciples nervously watched the sky, afraid that lightning would descend.

Just then, Li Qingqiu stepped forward, walking alone toward the city gate.

“Senior Brother!”

Li Dongyue couldn’t help but call out.

Li Qingqiu stopped, turned his head to look at her with the corner of his eye, and laughed loudly, “There are indeed techniques for Cultivating Immortality in this world, but how could a treacherous villain like him master them?

I don’t believe the Azure Heaven stands on his side.”

“Once I cut off his head, let’s see if he can still summon wind and rain.”

Having said that, Li Qingqiu turned back and continued walking.

Lin Chuan, who was perched on his shoulder, was not frightened by the thunder but instead glared at Daoist Master Wei, baring his teeth.

Fierce winds rose everywhere, causing Li Qingqiu’s robes to flutter.

Everyone looked at his back, and the fear in their hearts actually dissipated quite a bit.

Especially the Qingxiao Sect Disciples, who suddenly lost their fear and all showed expressions of anticipation.

Jiang Zhaoxia looked at Li Qingqiu, feeling a little ashamed because he had also been intimidated by Daoist Master Wei just now.

Li Yang watched Li Qingqiu from afar.

The experiences throughout this journey had already caused him to feel respect for Li Qingqiu, and now, seeing Li Qingqiu walk alone toward the Demonic Daoist, he couldn’t help but worry for him.

Daoist Master Wei, standing on the city gate, heard Li Qingqiu’s arrogant words and saw him walking toward him.

He immediately flew into a rage.

He glared at Li Qingqiu and shouted, “Ignorant brat, you insist on testing my heavenly might? Then this poor Daoist shall grant your wish!”

He immediately waved his flag toward Li Qingqiu.

As the red flag dropped, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, landing on Li Qingqiu.

This scene occurred too suddenly, causing everyone, including Jiang Zhaoxia, Li Dongyue, and the others, to tremble.

Seeing Li Qingqiu struck by lightning, their hearts stopped.

However, when they saw that Li Qingqiu did not halt his steps, they couldn’t help but feel confused.

What is going on?

Could this lightning be fake?

Xu Ning looked thoughtfully at the flickering lightning in the sky.

Daoist Master Wei widened his eyes.

Refusing to believe it, he waved the flag again, and another bolt of lightning struck down, landing on Li Qingqiu.

However, Li Qingqiu’s body didn’t even sway, and not even his robes were damaged.

Daoist Master Wei immediately panicked, muttering to himself, “How is this possible… Impossible…”

He hurriedly waved the flag.

This time, he waved it non-stop, continuously drawing the lightning from the sky to strike down.

The long street alternated between light and dark as Li Qingqiu walked through the lightning, advancing relentlessly.

To the common people, this scene was like witnessing an Immortal God.

An unusual expression appeared on every face.

Unconsciously, they began to stand up, their eyes following Li Qingqiu.

Sixth update!
