Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 266 The killing intent boils

Zhou Qing said, "We'll only rest for one night and leave tomorrow morning."

Qin Xue asked, "Go to the Eastern Alliance?"

Zhou Qing said, "No, go to Da Zhou. They are fighting each other, but I want to resolve the conflict."

To resolve the conflict?

Qin Xue was stunned.

How can this be explained? Two top sects are fighting, with hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than ten Golden Core cultivators on the field. Moreover, they are not really fighting to the death, but deliberately putting on a show. How could an outsider possibly understand it?

Qin Xue thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she had no choice but to go back and prepare guest rooms for Zhou Qing and the other three.

After a month of hardship and sleeping outdoors, the four of them needed a rest.

After resting overnight at the Nine Sects Alliance shop, the four of them got up early the next day to prepare for their journey to Da Zhou.

Upon leaving the shop, Zhou Qing saw that the market was crowded with people who had come from all directions to watch the battle.

Because it far exceeded the market's capacity, most of them could only sit quietly on the street.

Fortunately, they were all cultivators, so it didn't affect them much.

Upon seeing Zhou Qing and his group of four emerge, the cultivators immediately stirred.

One night was enough time for them to gather information, and they all knew about the war between the Great Buddha Temple and the Illusion God Sect.

Some believe that the two sects have truly started fighting, while many others privately speculate that this is merely a strategy for the two sects to avoid war.

Whether it was a real fight or a staged one, Zhou Qing's challenge seemed unable to continue.

He can't just barge into someone else's battlefield to challenge them, and even if he did, there's nothing he can do if the other person ignores him.

Everyone looked at Zhou Qing, wondering what he would do.

Should they stay in the market and wait for both sides to cease hostilities before launching another challenge, or bypass the two sects and head towards the sect ahead?

Whichever choice is made, it will be a blow to Zhou Qing's prestige.

Since Zhou Qing declared his intention to suppress all sects in the world, he has decided that he must fight against every single one of them, except for his allies.

If even one thing is omitted, his realm is incomplete.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhou Qing led three followers out of the market. Just when people thought Zhou Qing was heading southeast to the next sect, they discovered that they were heading northeast.

What is he going to the Northeast for?
Everyone was deeply surprised. Some quick-witted people checked the map and discovered that the Great Zhou, which had fought two wars, was located in the northeast.

Zhou Qing is heading to the battlefield between the Great Buddha Temple and the Illusion God Sect!
The news spread quickly among the crowd.

Is he really going to storm the battlefield and challenge the two sects?
How can this be done?
The cultivators immediately became excited and followed Zhou Qing, heading northeast.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is four or five thousand miles away from the Illusion God Sect.

Zhou Qing and his three companions traveled at their usual pace, taking about half a month to enter the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After entering the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they began to frequently see large groups of refugees fleeing in the direction they had come from.

These refugees, carrying the elderly and children, were weary from their journey, their faces etched with the weariness of travel and the sorrow of being far from home. Those whose loved ones had perished along the way, or who had run out of food and were left destitute, had eyes filled with despair.

After inquiring with the refugees, Zhou Qing and his companions learned that they had been caught in the crossfire of the cultivators' battle and had no choice but to leave their hometown and flee to the outside of the Great Zhou.

Although the name of the Great Zhou Dynasty contains the character "Great," its territory was actually only a little over a thousand li.

The two sects had more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators and hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators fighting, making the entire Great Zhou Dynasty unsuitable for mortals to live in.

The cultivators fought on the ground, and any mortals caught in the aftershocks were instantly killed.

If they were to fight in the sky, the resulting impact on the climate would, in a chain reaction, cause various catastrophic weather events, devastating the production of mortals. Therefore, as the war between the two sects unfolded, the people of the entire Great Zhou began to migrate outwards.

In just two months, the number of people displaced and who have tragically died has reached the millions.

Xiao Xiao and the other two then understood why Zhou Qing had said that the person who came up with this idea was treacherous.

During their time with Zhou Qing, the three of them grew to admire him more and more, and they seized every opportunity to learn about his past.

Therefore, they all knew that Zhou Qing had once wiped out a royal family from a mortal kingdom because the royal family attempted to interfere in the affairs of cultivators.

Because if mortals try to get involved in the disputes of cultivators, it will only cause devastating damage to the mortal world.

This was something Zhou Qing didn't want to see, and in order to prevent this from happening, he didn't hesitate to take drastic measures to warn people.

Conversely, what if cultivators intentionally let their battles affect mortals?

The three of them silently observed Zhou Qing's expression and understood his attitude.

On the seventh day after entering the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Qing and his companions finally arrived at the battlefield between the Great Buddha Temple and the Illusion God Sect.

This is a mountainous area, with only a few small towns outside the mountains. By this time, everyone had already left.

In fact, this was just a temporary battlefield.

The battle between the two sects raged throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they had only been on this temporary battlefield for a few days.

Cultivators, especially those at the Foundation Establishment level or above, are too mobile to be confined to a single battlefield.

Unless the battle ends too quickly, they won't be allowed to relocate.

Zhou Qing's arrival quickly attracted the attention of the two sects, but no one paid him any attention.

They were already in the process of ignoring Zhou Qing, so naturally they had to put on an even more elaborate act.

Standing atop the highest mountain nearby, Zhou Qing looked up at the "immortals" battling in the sky and proclaimed loudly, "Zhou Qing of the Qingyun Sect, do you think the fellow Daoists of the Great Buddha Temple and the Illusion God Sect should cease hostilities!"

His voice boomed like thunder, rolling towards the battlefield in the sky.

After a while, the battle in the sky continued, and no one paid any attention to his suggestion.

It was as if he were just an insignificant mosquito, buzzing meaninglessly nearby.

Xiao Xiao and the other two all turned pale with anger.

Following behind the four, the cultivators who had come to watch the spectacle also began to murmur amongst themselves.

Ignoring it is the greatest form of contempt.

If Zhou Qingruo cannot handle this matter properly, the momentum he has painstakingly built up will likely plummet.

All the cultivators were on tenterhooks.

They couldn't figure out what other way Zhou Qing could possibly quell this battle that involved more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators and hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

He couldn't just rush in, could he? That would give the Great Buddha Temple and the Illusion God Sect an excuse to join forces and attack Zhou Qing.

No matter how strong Zhou Qing is, he can never contend with the two sects.

Unless he truly becomes a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Not only were the cultivators behind them on edge, but Xiao Xiao, Huang Quan, and Lin Li were also filled with worry and looked at Zhou Qing with a sense of helplessness.

They saw Zhou Qing staring solemnly at the battlefield in the sky, his eyes showing no trace of anxiety, but rather a coldness they had never seen before.

This made all three of them feel a chill.
