Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 311 The Terrifying Abbess Jingyue Annihilates 100,000 Elite Soldiers

"What do you mean, 'really'?"

Young Master Ling, who had been dragged out of bed early in the morning, was still drowsy. He vaguely heard something and forced himself to stay awake.

"Old Qiao, what's causing such a great alarm?"

Qiao She glanced at him, his eyelids twitched a few times, and the shock on his face subsided, replaced by a deep look.

He considered his words carefully and slowly began to speak:

"I saw Abbess Jingyue at Black Wind Mountain the day before yesterday..."

"Master Jingyue of Shuiyue Nunnery?"

Young Master Ling yawned, becoming a little more awake.

Recalling what Qiao She said last night, when the Qingyuan Cave ruins reappeared, Abbess Jingyue and her disciple Du Bingyan entered.

Now, Du Bingyan has emerged from the ruins and has even come to Wohu Village.

It's not a big deal that Abbess Jingyue left the ruins alive.

Why does Old Qiao look like he's seen a ghost?
Was it because he failed to break into the mountain camp last night, losing over a hundred Black Lion Elite Riders, and I reprimanded him, so he deliberately retaliated?
Young Master Ling was inherently suspicious, and in the blink of an eye, several thoughts raced through his mind. He then calmly said:

"Could it be that something went wrong with Third Brother?"

The newcomer was shrouded in black robes, his entire body enveloped in shadow, making even his face indistinct.

He paused for a moment, then slowly said:

"The Third Young Master... passed away the day before yesterday."

"If Third Brother makes a mistake, Father will definitely... Huh? What did you say?"

Young Master Ling was speaking when he suddenly realized what he was saying and stared wide-eyed at the newcomer.

He had always had a bad relationship with his third brother, and in the past he wished he could tear the other to pieces, but upon hearing the news, he felt a strong sense of unease.

It should be noted that his third brother commanded the Green Lion Army, which was confronting the imperial army on the shore of Yuding Lake.

In the past three years, nearly one million laborers have been conscripted and a military town and water fortress have been built in the Black Wind Mountain. There are 200,000 elite soldiers and no less than one million civilians, craftsmen and other laborers!

Moreover, both brothers were cautious by nature and would not leave the military camp without permission, yet they died yesterday!
How did you die?

Could it be related to Master Jingyue, whom Old Qiao mentioned earlier?
"The day before yesterday, Wu Song, Liu Sheng, and Du Bingyan left the ruins one after another..."

The newcomer's voice was flat and devoid of any emotion as he repeated what he had said earlier.

It turned out that on that day, Wu Song, Liu Sheng and the other two left the ruins one after another, causing a great disturbance. After they realized what had happened, the Prince of Jin's Mansion and the imperial court mobilized troops to surround the entrance of the ruins.

They learned from the experiences of Wu Song and Liu Sheng in storming the camp, and each dispatched 50,000 elite troops, totaling more than 100,000, to completely surround the entrance to the ruins.

It is so impenetrable that it cannot be penetrated by a needle or splashed with water.

They surrounded Abbess Jingyue, who had just come out.

The imperial court and the Prince of Jin's mansion were determined to obtain the immortal relic, so they fought each other over a mere disagreement.

Unexpectedly, Abbess Jingyue obtained some kind of divine favor within the ruins, and instead of being surrounded by 100,000 elite soldiers, she took the initiative to attack.

"One palm strike wiped out 100,000 elite troops from two sides and evaporated most of Jade Cauldron Lake? No way, is this even human?"

Young Master Ling leaped to his feet, screaming in horror.

One palm strike annihilated 100,000 elite soldiers and evaporated most of Jade Cauldron Lake.

Even the immortals in myths and legends might not possess such abilities.

Could that nun Jingyue be an immortal?
"Afterwards, still not satisfied, she destroyed two military towns before leaving."

The visitor nodded before continuing to speak.

The only sound in the hall was the sound of people breathing out.

Qiao She had heard it once before, and even after hearing it again, he still found it unbelievable, as if he were listening to a strange tale. It should be known that the Green Lion Army stationed in Jade Cauldron Lake was one of the three elite forces under the Prince of Jin.

All resources are given priority, and even the most ordinary soldiers in the army are martial arts masters.

True form martial arts masters are only at the level of centurion or captain. Above them are captains, commanders, and generals, who are all at the Dao Realm or even the Yellow Court Realm.

The imperial troops confronting the Green Lion Army were commanded by Zhang Bofeng, a demon-slaying general. They were also from a powerful family, and their elite forces were no less than those of the Green Lion Army.

Now, both sides have amassed 100,000 troops, yet they were wiped out with a single blow, and even two military towns were destroyed...

Even if Qiao She used all his strength, he couldn't achieve such a feat.

Doesn't that mean that he, a dignified Yellow Court cultivator, is nothing more than a lump of ashes under the palm of Abbess Jingyue?
What kind of divine opportunity did this old nun Jingyue obtain in the ruins that caused her strength to soar to such a terrifying level?
Above the Yellow Court is the Profound Realm, could she be above the Profound Realm?

Qiao She recalled that at dusk the day before yesterday, several muffled sounds did indeed come from the direction of Black Wind Mountain, and even Wohu Ridge, thousands of miles away, experienced slight shaking.

I didn't take it to heart at the time, simply because it was something that grew naturally.

In retrospect, it was Master Jingyue who caused this.

"He annihilated 100,000 elite troops and destroyed two military towns... Third Brother is probably dead without a trace, not even a speck of dust left."

Young Master Ling regained his senses, sat back in his chair, his expression complex, as if he felt sorry for his kind, and fell silent.

Qiao She glanced at him, then picked up the conversation and asked:
"Are there any new decrees in the government?"

"The prince has secretly mobilized his elite troops and is heading towards Shuiyue Nunnery."

The visitor nodded and then said:
"At the same time, all the devotees from various places are to gather at Yuntai Mountain before the third day of next month to ask Abbess Jingyue for the return of their divine favor."

Shuiyue Temple is located in Yuntai Mountain, northwest of Jinzhou.

Before the dramatic changes in the world, it was less than a thousand miles from Yanqing Prefecture, but now it is ten thousand miles away.

Qiao She nodded in agreement, a look of hesitation appearing on his face:

"The servants in the manor are mostly of similar cultivation level to me. Even if they join forces, I'm afraid they are no match for me."

With a single palm strike, he annihilated 100,000 elite soldiers and easily destroyed two military towns, causing no fewer than 100,000 casualties.

Such terrifying destructive power is no less than that of a natural disaster, and even cultivators at the Yellow Court Realm are far inferior.

Having reached this level of cultivation, one is no different from the ancient immortals and Buddhas; even a slight improvement would be immeasurable. The retainers in the royal palace would probably be no match for them.

Going there would be futile and a death sentence.

"Your Highness has his own plans."

The newcomer spoke softly, his figure gradually blurring into a shadow before finally disappearing from the spot:

"The third day of next month is still ten days away. Yuntai Mountain is thousands of miles away, so I must set off in advance."

Qiao She's eyes flickered a few times, then he looked at the hesitant Young Master Ling and said confidently:

"Before I leave, I will help you to completely take control of Crouching Tiger Stronghold."

"Old Qiao suffered considerable losses last night without achieving anything."

"Why should you care about such details, young master?"

Qiao She's eye twitched, and he steeled himself, growling menacingly:
"I have a Ten Thousand Snake Formation that can gather a million venomous snakes. Crouching Tiger Ridge is located in a deep mountain range, where venomous snakes are everywhere, and there are many that have become spirits and cause trouble."

If a million venomous snakes were to gather and swarm forward, even if Liu and Du possessed extraordinary abilities, they wouldn't be able to escape!
-
"The remnants of the White Lotus Army, the two thousand men of the Zhang brothers, have been dealt with for the time being."

As for the remaining East Peak, its elite cavalry is incredibly powerful. Qiao She and Young Master Ling, despite coming from aristocratic families, act under the name of the Five Dharma Kings of the White Lotus Sect.

Who exactly are they?
If they really wanted to integrate Wohu Village, why would they tolerate Yue'e and the others for so long?

What consequences would it cause if I killed them?
"Never mind, I'll first deduce and ascend to become a powerful demon avatar, then act according to the circumstances."

Inside the wooden cabin, Liu Sheng dismissed those around him, pondered for a moment, summoned the control panel, examined it, and hesitated before saying:
Which incarnation should we deduce?
