The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 135 Assassination, Renyi Tower, Technological Weapons, Drawing a Circle on the Ground

Song Fugui was taken aback, and then he remembered.

This Dragon King of Pengze Lake is a true descendant of dragons.

His grandmother was from the Marquis of Wuling's mansion, and the mistress of the Marquis of Wuling's mansion was a dragon maiden from Falling Star Lake.

In terms of bloodline, Qin Hao's generation belongs to a group with relatively strong bloodlines.

Ah.

It turns out that Song Fugui thought that General Crab and others called Qin Hao the Dragon King simply because he was now the master of the Dragon Palace.

The true master of the Dragon Palace is actually the innate dragon within the dragon vein.

Only now do I realize that they didn't address me wrong.

Qin Hao seemed oblivious to Song Fugui's expression; he was still thinking about the giant mineral vein.

The Great Xia Dynasty obviously wouldn't rely solely on its own path, or rather, it was merely a pawn in the past.

The reason for this is probably his relationship with the Dragon Palace of Falling Star Lake.

Therefore, there are probably still arrangements made at the Dragon Palace.

However, Qin Hao's encounter in Yuzhang County and the recognition of the two Dao artifacts and spiritual swords as masters may still be insignificant and have no impact on the overall situation.

So, the matter of gaining Ao Hui's approval and becoming the master of the Pengze Lake Dragon Palace is now settled.

It's roughly like flipping over the chessboard and jumping out of the role of a chess piece.

Although I am not yet able to become a chess player.

Perhaps we should call them bystanders, or bystanders who can interfere with the movement of the pieces?
That would be more appropriate.

"Judging from Emperor Hengming's actions over the years, he is definitely a ruthless and ambitious man. He will not be angry at my decision to step out of the game, but will go with the flow. After all, I do not intend to overturn the game or prevent him from making a move."

Or to put it another way, Qin Hao's current behavior is still following his previous behavior.

This shows that he is still willing to give Emperor Hengming some help.

Of course, that's all there is to it.

Ao Hui needs to suppress the passage to the demon realm, so he cannot leave easily.

Although there was still contact between himself and Ao Hui, as long as they weren't too far apart, Ao Hui could at least keep his life.

But this world has too many tricks up its sleeve.

puff.

Crab General appeared behind Qin Hao in an instant, grabbing a dart in one hand.

The dark, eerie light shimmering on the dart was enough to indicate that it had been poisoned.

Assassination?

Song Fugui was startled by the Crab General's actions, and only a second later did he see the dart that the Crab General was holding.

He was startled. Who would dare to assassinate him so blatantly?

Then, countless arrows rained down on the people on the Star Guide Ship.

"A boundary-breaking arrow? What a grand gesture!"

Qin Hao said it casually.

Including the previous dart, and now the thousands of arrows, all of them used methods to break through boundaries.

The so-called breaking of boundaries is exactly what it sounds like.

In its earliest form, this was a tool used by cultivators to destroy temples and attack the divine realms of gods.

Unexpectedly, he, a mere constable with a bronze seal from the Six Doors, had already attracted so much attention before even taking office.

With a thought, Qin Hao activated the Star Guiding Shield of the Star Guiding Boat.

In fact, the Star Guidance Shield had always been open, but it was operating at low power.

At this moment, Qin Hao activated the protective shield to its maximum power.

Suddenly, the Star Guide Ship, which was clearly visible before, became blurry.

However, this situation is like one-way glass; the people standing on the Star Guide Ship can still see the outside world clearly.

With a loud shout, Vajra Sword led everyone into formation to jointly resist the attack.

To be honest, they didn't expect that they hadn't even arrived at their destination yet.

How could we have suffered such a terrible blow?

Fortunately, as everyone knows, the middle-aged man standing behind Qin Hao is a powerful being of the fourth realm.

They weren't worried about getting into trouble themselves.

This Star-Guiding Boat is a treasure-level flying vessel, and its Star-Guiding Shield is extremely strong.

Song Fugui looked up and saw that the bright daylight was suddenly filled with starlight, which enveloped the Star-Guiding Boat.

"Confinement!"

Qin Hao shouted, instantly imprisoning the Boundary-Breaking Arrows that had already flown to the vicinity of the Star-Guiding Ship, which were now less than thirty centimeters away.

Then, a five-colored hand reached out and collected all the boundary-breaking arrows.

General Crab was also moving extremely fast at this moment, and it was impossible to tell anything from his steps.

But one second he was here, the next second he was somewhere else.

And each time, he would catch a dart-like hidden weapon.

Each one was coated with a potent poison.

But none of this could harm General Crab.

Suddenly, a swarm of flying insects appeared.

"Soul-eating Gu?"

Qin Hao's expression changed; this creature was raised by the mountain people within the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

This is why the Shiwan Mountains are designated as a semi-restricted area.

You never know when you might be surrounded by countless Gu worms, or even devoured.

The Soul-Devouring Gu is definitely the most famous Gu worm in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

It has no other abilities, only one.

Absorb spiritual energy.

But this thing doesn't discriminate between occasions; it devours everything in its line of sight, whether it's mud, rocks, or mineral veins.

Wherever it passes, not a blade of grass grows.

"The Ten Thousand Mountains, what audacity!"

It was precisely because of this characteristic of the Soul-Devouring Gu that many years ago, through multi-party talks, this Gu worm was prohibited from appearing outside the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Unexpectedly, the mountain people actually used this thing this time.

However, it doesn't matter. Although this Soul-Devouring Gu is powerful and devours spiritual energy, it seems to be unsolvable.

They can even devour your attacks; any spell that possesses spiritual energy, or relies on spiritual energy to attack, will be absorbed by them.

Without the support of spiritual energy, your attacks will naturally be like water without roots, dissipating completely.

Just like now, even Vajra Sword and others dare not send their magical treasures over.

Just now, an unlucky guy had his magic weapon devoured by the Soul-Devouring Gu.

At this moment, they also suffered a bit of backlash.

The various talismans and spells transformed from Song Fugui's Great Xia Tongbao were also completely devoured by the Spirit-Devouring Gu.

"How to do?"

Song Fugui asked.

Actually, there's no need to be too afraid of these kinds of Gu worms.

As long as the numbers don't become overwhelming, leaving you with no chance of escape.

With speed, it is possible to escape from this venomous insect.

The most difficult thing to guard against about the Soul-Devouring Gu is its sheer number.

If a certain force blocks the path of the Soul-Devouring Gu, then there is no way to escape.

In the end, the losses were devastating, or even completely wiped out, and it became a thing of the past.

But Qin Hao is different now; he can make the Star Guide Boat turn.

The Star-Guiding Boat was extremely fast, far beyond the reach of these Soul-Devouring Gu.

Qin Hao had only seen Fuyu County from afar and had not yet entered it. He had not yet established the Six Doors, so there was no possibility that he was obligated to defend the territory and could not leave.

Qin Hao shook his head: "There are probably more ambushes in other locations. The purpose of this Soul-Devouring Gu is not to devour us."

That?
As soon as Song Fugui spoke, he understood that the purpose of the Soul-Devouring Gu was to force them to change their allegiance.

After a few times, they will be forced into the enemy's ambush location.

It might be an array, or it might be a restriction.

Perhaps there are even more insidious plans in store.

Song Fugui didn't understand why this was for.

Is their line of work really that important?
Qin Hao understood, however, that it wasn't that he was important, but rather that the methods used against him this time were merely a warning shot, a way to make an example of someone.

As long as we can deter the Great Xia Dynasty, this effort will not have been in vain.

But would Qin Hao do as the other party wishes?
"Actually, the Soul-Devouring Gu is not difficult to deal with."

Ok?
What are you saying?

If the Soul-Devouring Gu is not difficult to deal with, then why did several forces go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains together to force the other party to sign a contract, prohibiting them from easily releasing the Soul-Devouring Gu outside the Hundred Thousand Mountains?

Qin Hao sneered and said to Song Fugui, "Do you remember that the Soul-Devouring Gu wasn't always without setbacks?"

Song Fugui was knowledgeable and had a remarkable memory, and the Futong Money Shop was also extremely adept at gathering intelligence.

Therefore, Song Fugui knew many secrets.

He thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "You mean, back in Hidden Dragon Fortress, most of the Soul-Devouring Gu were burned by a single fire. And then Hidden Dragon Fortress successfully eliminated them?"

But then he shook his head: "However, although the individual Spirit Devouring Gu's defense is not high, its attack is also not high."

However, the number of these Soul-Devouring Gu is extremely terrifying.

Hidden Dragon Fortress used high-grade spirit wood as fuel to destroy most of it. We…”

Although Futong Money House was not short of money, Song Fugui obviously did not have the habit of carrying a large amount of spirit wood around.

Although he had a considerable amount of spirit wood in his storage ring, it was still a drop in the ocean compared to the Spirit Devouring Gu in front of him.

The Soul-Devouring Gu itself is not very intelligent, but it must be controlled by a Gu Master behind the scenes.

Therefore, the flames produced by burning a small amount of spirit wood may cause some damage to the Soul-Devouring Gu.

But it certainly won't play a decisive role.

But Song Fugui also knew that Qin Hao wasn't stupid.

Since he said that, it must be because of his own reasons.

Qin Hao smiled; of course, he had his reasons.

Since the Soul-Devouring Gu can absorb spiritual energy, then we don't need spiritual energy at all.

He happens to possess two worlds; in the Chinese side of the Devouring Star World, there are many weapons available to resist the beast calamity.

Those are all technological weapons, using primitive methods like fire and explosions, not relying on spiritual energy.

Qin Hao previously exiled people from several countries, including the European Cup, leaving only his own people on Earth.

These weapons will then be useless.

As for those beast calamities, they are all defended against by powerful martial artists and mentalists.

These weapons were originally intended to be destroyed.

Its very existence is a danger.

Qin Hao thought he might be able to use it, and since Wukong's family had unlimited resources, there was no need to worry about wasting it.

At that time, Qin Hao simply put them away.

At this moment, it seems to be of use.

"Just you wait and see. I'll show the Ten Thousand Mountains what price they'll pay for trying to mess with me."

After this incident, Qin Hao believed that the Ten Thousand Mountains would lose a trump card.

Technological weapons are not impossible to replicate in the world of cultivation.

It's just that no one had thought of it before.

A world where everyone can use magic, flying and disappearing into the earth.

Technological advancements are basically useless.

But after this, people will witness the power of gunpowder.

Song Fugui was taken aback, but did not ask any questions.

With a casual wave of his hand, Qin Hao unleashed a barrage of cannonballs.

Although the Star-Guiding Cannon is a cannon equipped on the Star-Guiding Ship, it is a spirit cannon and is originally powered by the power of stars or spirit liquid.

They were all releasing spiritual energy spells.

It could be temporarily modified to serve as a shell launcher, which is not impossible.

Qin Hao understands these technological concepts. He only needs to use a little of his true energy to slightly modify the artifact so that it can be adapted.

Then, in the next moment, a large number of shells were launched.

"A treasure-grade flying boat?"

In the distance, a strangely dressed middle-aged man sneered.

He comes from the Ten Thousand Mountains and is a powerful Gu Master.

This time, he was invited out of seclusion to deal with a mere youth in the second realm.

Although the opponent is ranked number one on the Human Ranking, to these seniors, being number one on the Human Ranking is nothing more than a child's joke. The opponent has extremely strong foundations and may very well become someone they cannot defeat in the future.

But right now, the other party is just a genius.

It's just a bit of a pity that a genius died.

Only those who grow stronger become truly powerful.

And he is the strong one.

"You still lack experience. Even if you're lucky enough to gain the recognition of a Dao artifact, how much spiritual energy do you have to burn when facing the Soul-Devouring Gu?"

Given the strength of Dao artifacts, their own spiritual energy reserves can be used for a long time.

However, even a powerful artifact is not invincible without its master's control.

The most common type of artifact is the Dao artifact, which is used to help its owner escape.

But this time, with multiple parties involved, how could that kid possibly escape?

"But that middle-aged man is quite formidable. Not a single one of Renyilou's assassin techniques could be effective? Is it that Renyilou's methods are inadequate, or..."

The middle-aged man did not recognize General Crab. How could he possibly recognize him?

This is the first time that General Crab has come out of the mountains, and very few people outside know about it.

If the other party knew that there was a fourth-realm expert here, I wonder if they would still dare to come out of the mountains?

However, the middle-aged Gu Master then rallied: "No matter who the opponent is, their methods are indeed impressive. But that person wasn't unprepared. Even if someone at the fourth realm comes, they'll be in danger this time."

Just as the middle-aged Gu Master sneered, the cannonball was fired.

Ok?
The middle-aged Gu Master was taken aback: "What kind of attack is this? Why can't I sense any spiritual energy?"

It can be said that the Soul-Devouring Gu is extremely powerful.

Whether you cultivate martial arts, Taoism, Confucianism, or Buddhism, to put it bluntly, it's all about cultivating spiritual energy.

As for demonic cultivators?

To put it bluntly, it's still a variant of spiritual energy.

Otherwise, Ao Hui would not be able to suppress and transform the demonic energy.

Even if martial artists can train their bodies, they can indeed effectively kill the Soul-Devouring Gu with pure physical strength.

But how long can a martial artist last?

Although the Soul-Devouring Gu is not fast, it can still scatter and escape.

Even if martial artists were to kill, how many could they possibly kill?

When the number of Soul-Devouring Gu increases, it's like a swarm of killer ants.

Although the Soul-Devouring Gu's other methods are not very effective.

But unless you can achieve indestructibility, to the point that the Soul-Devouring Gu cannot bite through your skin.

Even so, the human body still has seven orifices, which are easily breached.

Unless one's physical cultivation reaches a certain level, sealing off the seven orifices and leaving no gaps, it is impossible to achieve this.

But if we do that, we'll be at the mercy of others.

The surrounding spiritual energy was completely devoured by the Spirit-Devouring Gu. Without replenishment of spiritual energy, there was still great danger.

coax.

Just as the middle-aged Gu master revealed a cold smile, a loud noise suddenly came.

Then, one sound followed another.

Clusters of flames appeared.

Just as the middle-aged Gu Master was about to sneer, he saw his Gu worms unleash their incredible power, absorbing all the flames.

Then, he felt the Gu worms, which were closely connected to his soul, begin to die off in large numbers.

"how come?"

The middle-aged Gu master couldn't believe it; how could these Gu worms have died?

He knew, of course, that the Soul-Devouring Gu itself was not powerful enough and that there were many ways to kill it.

However, the Soul-Devouring Gu is known for its sheer numbers.

Killing one or two is nothing.

At this moment, however, the Soul-Devouring Gu were dying in large numbers, on a massive scale.

Their number is far more than tens of thousands.
These were all things he had cultivated at great cost.

"No, how can this be?"

Even as he was pondering, the Star Guide Boat did not stop.

The Star Guide Boat flew along an extremely graceful trajectory, undetected.

And its 42 cannons were constantly spitting fire.

Each time, it was accompanied by a tremendous sound.

With each explosion, a large number of Soul-Devouring Gu died.

"impossible!"

The middle-aged Gu master still couldn't believe it.

He looked on incredulously, thinking, "If this kind of attack could become widespread..."

One of the deterrent measures of the Ten Thousand Mountains will have to be removed.

This is extremely terrifying.

The reason why the mountain people of the Ten Thousand Mountains have been able to occupy such a vast and resource-rich area without being driven away by others is because...

The Soul-Devouring Gu, if not the ultimate weapon, is certainly one of the most important.

This thing is used to create a large-scale deterrent effect against mid-level enemies.

"Damn it, this person absolutely cannot be allowed to live."

Before this method gets out, it would be best to eliminate the enemy.

Although today's situation cannot be hidden for long.

Sooner or later someone will find out.

What people fear most is having no ideas.

Once it's opened, it will be restored sooner or later, provided the method isn't too difficult.

It's clear that Qin Hao, a mere second-stage cultivator, was capable of using such methods, and the middle-aged Gu Master didn't believe that this approach couldn't be popularized.

In other words, we don't know how long it will take, but it definitely won't be too long.

This kind of tactic will become rampant.

At the very least, all the major powers in the Qianyang Realm will have control over it.

"Witch Bone, if you don't use your tricks soon, I'm leaving."

Since I've already gotten the benefits, I might as well just leave.

Just then, a green worm flew up from the ground.

Strangely enough, human voices came out of the mouth of this green worm.

A terrifying laugh rang out: "Sullivan, don't be impatient. The methods of Renyi Tower are not so simple. Just wait a little longer, it will be over soon."

After all, you wouldn't want this kind of method to get out, would you?

"you?"

Sullivan was very dissatisfied, but it was clear that the other party had also seen the benefits of this tactic.

This is an extremely powerful yet simple method for the Soul-Devouring Gu.

A voice came from the mouth inside the green worm again: "Sullivan, why do I feel like I smell gunpowder in these flames?"

Although the technology in the Qianyang Realm is not particularly advanced.

But gunpowder was still invented.

Today, the primary use of this gunpowder is still in fireworks and firecrackers.

Sullivan was helpless; he couldn't smell that odor.

But they wouldn't doubt what the witch bone said.

This witch bone is extremely mysterious. Sullivan doesn't know its true identity, and even the name might not be its real name.

It sounds a bit like northern barbarians, but that's not necessarily true.

The northern barbarians don't seem to have such cunning.

At that very moment, Qin Hao was continuously manipulating the Star-Attracting Cannon to launch attacks.

Everyone else, including Vajra Sword, was extremely excited.

The attacks from others were also constantly depleting the Star-Guiding Ship's Star-Guiding Shield.

However, with the replenishment of star power, and Qin Hao also possessing the Primordial Mirror and the spiritual pool for replenishment, he was not afraid of these consumptions at all.

But others don't know these things.

Therefore, Song Fugui was still somewhat worried.

However, thinking about the wealth of Pengze Lake Dragon Palace, he felt relieved.

After all, dragon veins are also a type of spiritual vein.

The spiritual vein beneath the Dragon Palace of Pengze Lake is even larger than the one in Fuyu County.

The number of spirit stones that can be mined each year may be limited by the existence of that innate dragon clan.

But after tens of thousands of years of accumulation, the reserves of spirit stones are definitely not small.

The Dragon Palace of Pengze Lake certainly has a large reserve of spirit stones.

Qin Hao had been there, though he hadn't actually been to the treasure trove where spirit stones were stored.

However, as the Dragon King of Pengze Lake Dragon Palace, he could still see the contents of the treasure vault after entering it.

Putting everything else aside, the sheer number of spirit stones shown in the ledger was enough to shock Qin Hao.

At that moment, General Crab frowned deeply.

There are so many underhanded tactics involved.

"Be bold!"

The next moment, General Crab appeared directly beside Qin Hao, holding several hidden weapons in his arm.

At the same time, another pair of arms appeared on his shoulders.

No, not the arm, but the forelimb.

Or rather, crab claws.

At this moment, a barb was gripping the crab claw.

It looks like the claws of some kind of monster, extremely sharp.

"Renyi Tower?"

General Crab's tone gradually became calm, but the dangerous aura within it became even more terrifying.

Song Fugui was also taken aback. Renyi Tower?
Even the top assassin organization in the Qianyang Realm has gotten involved?

This organization was originally founded by a group of frustrated Confucian scholars.

Its purpose is to rob the rich to help the poor and to eliminate the strong and support the weak.

This is a group of Confucian scholars who have no ambitions and want to use this method to fulfill their aspirations, achieve their Daoist path, and even attempt to ascend to immortality.

Unfortunately, Renyi Tower has gradually changed since its establishment.

I don't know when it started.

Perhaps it was to achieve a certain goal, starting with the assassination of a county magistrate.

Renyilou had already gone astray.

The methods of this group of Confucian scholars were quite strange. Although they were not as strong as General Crab, they still kept General Crab busy.

Even at that very moment, a phantom cage suddenly descended, trapping the Crab General inside.

"Draw a circle on the ground as a prison?"

Qin Hao was taken aback.

This is not something that ordinary Confucian scholars can use.

Only Confucian cultivators at least at the fourth level possess this ability.

"But when did the pedantic scholars of Renyi Tower reach the fourth realm?"

From a certain perspective, the Confucian scholars at Renyilou were actually distorting the meaning of the sages' teachings.

Similar to the cultivation methods used by demonic cultivators against orthodox Taoist cultivators.

Previously, this doctrine was not enough to sustain them in reaching the fourth realm.

However, due to their unorthodox methods, they became the top assassin organization in the Qianyang Realm.

But there are several other assassin organizations that are just as famous as them.

Even other assassin organizations are stronger than Renyilou.

However, after today, everyone will know.

Renyi Tower's strength may experience rapid growth in the short term.

"What if, in the future, more of the teachings of the sages are misinterpreted?"

The consequences of this are far more terrifying than the technological means Qin Hao brought.

The methods of Renyilou, along with the power of corrupt scholars, will experience a massive surge.

"Huh? This is it?"

At the same time, wisps of black energy and an aura of decay and destruction surged from Qin Hao's body.
