Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 299 The whereabouts of the Great Phantom Lord

Zhou Qing now has a much denser network of informants in Western Antarctica than before.

The Eight Alliance initially built only 80,000 relay stations, which was negligible in the nearly 100,000-mile expanse of land in Western Antarctica.

Later, as Zhou Qing's reputation grew, the various sects began to dare not openly exclude the relay stations of the Eight Sect Alliance from flying above them. Zhou Qing then ordered the alliance to rush to build 200,000 relay stations.

These 200,000 relay stations have now all been launched into the skies over Western Antarctica.

Although these relay stations are still insufficient compared to the vast expanse of land, Zhou Qing only needs to control the relay stations to fly in an orderly manner to expand the scanning range. In about half a month, it will be enough to scan West Antarctica roughly.

This scanning method cannot be too precise, but it is sufficient for finding powerful individuals at the level of Nascent Soul True Monarch.

As Zhou Qing connected to the relay station, he instantly felt his senses break free from the limitations of his physical body, as if he had become an invisible ghost, rapidly wandering over Western Antarctica.

He first observed the situation around the Dharma propagation site, and then couldn't help but sneer.

He sensed that each of the seven peaks surrounding Dao Yun Peak possessed a powerful spiritual pressure aura, which was the same seven people he had met before.

The Dharma propagation center has seventy-two main spiritual veins, and these seven nascent souls happen to be distributed on the seven mountain peaks surrounding him, which is certainly not a coincidence.

They are intentionally surrounding him to prevent him from leaving the Dharma propagation center.

Zhou Qing was not surprised by this.

He had no illusions about the virtues of the Dharma Propagation Center, nor did he expect that his journey there would be smooth sailing.

Zhou Qing did not linger at the Dharma propagation site, but instead extended his senses to the surrounding area.

His consciousness jumped between different relay stations, bringing more and more areas under his investigation.

Zhou Qing is prepared for a protracted battle.

If, after investigating all the relay stations, no information about the Great Illusion Demon Lord has been found, he should consider moving the relay stations in an orderly manner to conduct a more in-depth and detailed investigation.

However, the result surprised him.

He confirmed the location of the Great Illusion Demon Lord without much effort, and didn't even need the Hongfa Daoist Temple to exclude its own Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, the location of the Great Illusion Demon Lord's hiding place made Zhou Qing's heart tremble slightly.

Qingyun Sect.

The Great Illusion Demon Lord resides on Qingyun Mountain.

Zhou Qing sensed a powerful Nascent Soul level spiritual pressure in Qingyun Mountain. At the same time, he also sensed some familiar Golden Core level spiritual pressure in the mountains near Qingyun Sect. Those were the spiritual pressures belonging to Bai Yujing and the other ten disciples.

Zhou Qing was slightly puzzled, but then suddenly realized what was going on.

It seems that the unfamiliar expert that Senior Sister Mu Zhuosha encountered earlier must be a member of the Seven Emotions Sect.

The Great Illusion Demon Lord must have deduced from Bai Yujing that he had a way to track other people's whereabouts, and guessed that the Hongfa Dojo would ask him to track him down, so he took countermeasures in advance.

The Great Illusion Demon Lord knew that once his whereabouts were exposed, several Nascent Soul cultivators from the Hongfa Dojo would act with lightning speed, and their location would become a battlefield for Nascent Soul level battles.

Therefore, he chose Qingyun Sect as his hiding place to make himself more cautious and not dare to reveal his whereabouts to the Hongfa Dojo.

Otherwise, once war breaks out, the Hongfa Dojo will not care about the safety of a small Qingyun Sect.

The Great Illusion Demon Lord's move was undeniably brilliant. He knew he couldn't stop the Hongfa Daoist Temple from seeking help from Zhou Qing, nor could he eliminate Zhou Qing beforehand and thwart the temple's plans.

Therefore, he chose to exploit Zhou Qing's weakness, making Zhou Qing hesitant to act rashly.

Zhou Qing sneered inwardly, thinking to himself, "It seems the cultivators of the Western Continent haven't truly learned how to treat me yet."

Whether it was the Buddhist temple or the Seven Emotions Sect, they still harbored ancient arrogance, regarding him merely as a junior who had suddenly gained fame, believing that they could easily control him if they got serious. Given this, he needed to make them realize the true situation.

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment, then got up to go find Nie Yunxi.

Nie Yunxi had already chosen the waterfall entrance as her cultivation ground. The high concentration of spiritual energy made her feel slightly tipsy, and the joy of reuniting with her senior brother made her momentarily doubt that she had entered the immortal realm.

"Yunmei, how fast are you flying?"

Zhou Qing asked.

Nie Yunxi said, "When I went down the mountain, my master was worried that I would encounter danger, so she lent me her personal flying boat, which can travel 30,000 miles a day. Senior brother, is there anything you need me to do?"

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "The speed is enough. I need you to go to Qingyun Sect to deliver a message for me."

Nie Yunxi said, "Senior Brother, please speak."

Zhou Qing said, "When you get to Qingyun Sect, go see Senior Sister Mu Zhuosha and ask her if there are any guests in the sect recently. Please pass on a few words to those guests for me."

After saying that, he conveyed what he wanted to say to Nie Yunxi.

Nie Yunxi listened intently, her pupils slowly dilating, and a look of horror involuntarily appeared on her face.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Nie Yunxi nodded. Knowing that there was no time to lose, she immediately boarded the flying boat and headed towards the Qingyun Sect.

……

Climb to the summit.

Jiang Tao suddenly opened his eyes during his seclusion and looked in the direction where Nie Yunxi had left.

Since Zhou Qing and his companion entered Daoyun Peak, the seven Nascent Soul cultivators have been closely monitoring them, ensuring that their whereabouts are kept strictly under their control and eliminating any possibility of their escape.

Seeing Nie Yunxi leave on a flying boat, Jiang Tao suspected that Zhou Qing had made some arrangements, perhaps intending to escape. So he immediately took to the air and chased after the flying boat.

Although the flying boat is the top-tier flying magic weapon of the Illusionary Love Sect, capable of traversing 30,000 li in a day, it is still far inferior to a Nascent Soul expert.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Tao caught up with the flying boat. Just as he was about to reach out and knock the flying boat down, a sudden sense of alarm arose within him.

Jiang Tao dared not delay and immediately turned around to prepare, only to see a dark figure approaching at an incredible speed.

He only had time to reach out before he felt his palm strike hard and instantly shatter.

A slightly deformed bullet pierced his palm and headed toward his face.

With the cushioning of his hand, the bullet's speed was greatly reduced. Jiang Tao caught it with his other hand and discovered that it was made from the horn of a thunder dragon at the peak of the Golden Core stage, partially transformed into a Nascent Soul.

Jiang Tao raised his severed right hand. The hand was broken off at the wrist, but it was rapidly regenerating thanks to his powerful life force. The injury wasn't serious, but the merciless blow still filled him with rage.

He turned to look in the direction the bullet had come from, only to see Zhou Qing standing at the entrance of the Daoyun Peak waterfall, looking at him indifferently.

Jiang Tao frowned and pondered for a while. He did not go to negotiate with Zhou Qing, nor did he continue to track the flying boat. Instead, he flew towards Dahua Peak, where Bai Mei was located.

When Jiang Tao arrived, the other Nascent Soul cultivators had already arrived as well.

He waved his severed hand at the group and said, "Indeed, it lives up to its reputation. This is a bullet made from a thunder dragon horn. Zhou Qing must have used some method to launch it at such a terrifying speed. Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would not be able to withstand it safely."

"I just don't know how many of these bullets Zhou Qing has. Ten or eight are easy to withstand, but if dozens of bullets come at the same time, even if we don't die, we will definitely be seriously injured."
