From martial arts sects to immortality sects

Chapter 175 Descending from the Sky, One Against Ten Thousand
Under the cover of darkness, a vast and magnificent city stands on the boundless wilderness.

This city is Yeming City of Cangzhou, with a history of hundreds of years. It was once the imperial capital of a dynasty. Even in the dead of night, Yeming City is brightly lit, with more lights in the city than stars in the night sky.

In the very center of Nightbright City, there is a high wall that encircles a dense forest covering several miles. In the darkness, the trees resemble demons and monsters.

Deep underground, there is a hidden world.

Qi Tianquan, dressed in a dragon robe and with a full head of white hair, strode forward. A chilling aura emanated from the ground, and the path was littered with bones, devoid of flowers or grass.

Looking ahead, numerous dim fluorescent lights flickered, all emanating from an ancient giant tree.

In the darkness, the ancient giant tree was so majestic, as if it held up the sky. In front of it, Qi Tianquan seemed so small.

This cave is home to only this tree, whose numerous branches support the roof and the entire Night City.

It is the ancient god worshipped by the Qi family!

Its thick branches are covered with vines, which flow like little rivers.

Those eerie lights were emitted by mysterious crystals on the tree branches, becoming the only source of light in this underground cave.

Click!

Qi Tianquan crushed a piece of his hand bone, but he didn't lower his head or change his pace.

"The connection between that divine child and me has been severed."

A hoarse voice rang out, its tone flat.

Upon hearing this, Qi Tianquan paused for a moment, but then continued forward.

He walked all the way to the giant tree, and when he looked up, following his gaze, he saw that the tree trunk, which was as large as a mountain, had the face of an old man growing on it.

The face has kind features, and even with its eyes closed, it exudes compassion.

Qi Tianquan looked up at the giant tree that the Qi clan revered as an ancient god and asked, "So, is the Qi clan about to face a great calamity?"

The ancient god said in a low voice, "With me here, who would dare to bring you great calamity? If the Qingxiao Sect comes looking for you, bring them here. I will personally resolve this trouble."

Qi Tianquan frowned and said, "I told you before not to provoke the Qingxiao Sect, but you didn't listen and insisted that I assign Ji Wuye to deal with the Qingxiao Sect. If the Qi family were to gain power first, we could simply leave the Qingxiao Sect to fend for itself and let you recover your strength first. Once you are free to move around, we could destroy the Qingxiao Sect. Wouldn't that be as easy as turning your hand?"

"Leave Qingxiao Sect hanging? You underestimate the power of cultivation sects. Cultivation is about fighting against fate. They will expand rapidly, spreading their influence throughout the Nine Provinces. What they want to fight for is beyond the comprehension of you mortals. If you want to gain this world, you will have to bow down to them. Does your Qi family want to be a puppet emperor?"

The ancient god's words made Qi Tianquan frown even more. He really didn't know what the cultivation sects were fighting over, but he always felt that the ancient god had ulterior motives.

"Back then, we relied on your power to help Emperor Gaozu seize the world and achieve unparalleled merit. After Emperor Gaozu passed away, it was a perfect opportunity for us, but you said the time was not right and suppressed the Qi family, watching Zhao Zhi ascend the throne. Later, Zhao Zhi became incompetent and went mad for the elixir of immortality. We wanted to be heroes to save the world, but you still wouldn't allow it. Even after Zhao Zhi died, you wouldn't allow us to move."

"It wasn't until two years ago, when someone infiltrated the Qi family and killed the Divine Child, that you finally couldn't hold back and allowed us to compete for the world, and even asked us to pressure the Qingxiao Sect."

"Ancient God, do you desire our strength, or are you afraid of our strength? The appearance of cultivators clearly frightens you!"

Qi Tianquan's voice was loud and clear, and although he addressed everyone with the honorific "you," there was no respect in his words.

He had had enough of being deceived by the ancient god. He admitted that the Qi clan was brought back to its former glory by the ancient god, but he did not want to be led by the ancient god forever.

Since he was old enough to understand, Qi Shi had been making offerings to the ancient god, feeding it countless people, but the ancient god's appetite was like a bottomless pit, and it could never be satisfied no matter how much it was fed.

He suspected that even if the entire world were fed to the ancient god, it would not be satisfied.

Hearing Qi Tianquan's rebuke, the ancient god slowly opened its eyes. Its eyes were pale and devoid of any emotion.

Making eye contact with the ancient god made Qi Tianquan feel pressured, and he subconsciously lowered his head.

"Qi Tianquan, have you forgotten your identity? You are not the eldest son of the legitimate wife. Who helped you become who you are now?" The ancient god's tone turned icy.

Qi Tianquan gritted his teeth and said, "Some people are spreading rumors about the Qi Clan's demon-raising tree. The feudal lords of the world are preparing to join forces to attack us. The Qi Clan is gradually becoming evil in the hearts of the people. This is not the result I want. I hope that the next target will be shifted from Qingxiao Sect to other feudal lords. I need your power to uproot those feudal lords."

No matter how strong the Qi clan is, they can never be a match for all the feudal lords in the world working together. He believes that the feudal lords are the biggest problem for the Qi clan right now.

As for the Qingxiao Sect, they pride themselves on being a prestigious and righteous sect. He believes that as long as the Qi family does not take any action against the Qingxiao Sect, the Qingxiao Sect will not cause them any trouble.

"What? The Qi clan can't even handle mortals, yet they want to rule the world?" the ancient god mocked, its words piercing Qi Tianquan's heart like a sharp blade.

Qi Tianquan was about to speak.

Rumbling--

The ceiling above began to tremble, and countless grains of sand and pebbles slid down, interrupting Qi Tianquan's thoughts.

The ancient god looked up, and its voice followed: "Arriving so quickly, what a fine Qingxiao Sect!"

Its tone was chilling, barely concealing its anger.

Qingxiao Sect?
Qi Tianquan's expression changed slightly. He didn't understand why Qingxiao Sect would come here. How long had it been since the Ancient God sent his divine son south?

……

Above Nightfall City, Xiao Ba flapped its wings and circled, while Li Qingqiu, Shen Yue, and Mo Jiuhong stood on its back, looking down.

Under their watchful eyes, in the dim night, four giant silver-white tigers were rampaging through the city, charging and crashing about. They were three zhang tall at the shoulders, unstoppable, and wherever they passed, buildings collapsed, and the screams of the city's inhabitants echoed one after another. "Mountain Lord Divine Curse, he can actually condense four mountain lords at once."

Shen Yue raised an eyebrow, secretly alarmed. He found that Li Qingqiu's Yuan Qi was exaggeratedly powerful. He had previously thought that Li Qingqiu was just at a high level of cultivation, but now it seemed that was not necessarily the case.

Mo Jiuhong was equally shocked when he saw the four mountain lords. He saw many Qi clan warriors rushing over, but they couldn't stop the mountain lords' tiger claws at all, and some were even trampled to death.

Snapped!
Li Qingqiu patted Mo Jiuhong on the back, startling him so much that he trembled all over.

"You should go now. Don't forget what I told you to do."

Li Qingqiu reminded him, and upon hearing this, Mo Jiuhong nodded hurriedly, then jumped down and disappeared into the vast night.

Shen Yue said, "I thought you were going to sneak in, but I didn't expect you to make such a big show of it."

Li Qingqiu replied, "You're right. Killing too many people isn't good either. If we cause a commotion, those who want to live can escape as soon as possible, which would be considered a sign of turning back from their misguided ways. If they insist on staying, a nightmare awaits them."

The Qi clan was never a threat to him. As long as the ancient god was destroyed, the Qi clan would not be able to cause any trouble. He also did not have the ability to slaughter everyone in the city because Night Bright City was simply too big.

Moreover, his intuition told him that once he went to war with the ancient gods, they would kill the people in the city before he could.

"Alright, we should go down now."

After Li Qingqiu finished speaking, he leaped into the air and landed towards the city. Shen Yue followed closely behind. Their blue robes billowed violently, and the wind howled in their ears.

The two landed on the roof, and Li Qingqiu rushed directly towards the inner city.

Shen Yue remained where he was, watching the four mountain lords run toward him, and he took a deep breath.

He wasn't scared, just a little annoyed.

He didn't want to kill too many people, but Li Qingqiu insisted that he do so.

According to the plan, after entering the city and starting the battle, he was responsible for attracting the Qi clan warriors, while Li Qingqiu went to find the ancient god.

He was initially reluctant to agree, but Li Qingqiu's words swayed him: "Don't you want to fight against ten thousand men single-handedly? The Qi Clan is full of experts. If you can sweep through the entire Qi Clan with your own strength, the name of the Sword God will once again resound throughout the world!"

He didn't like killing.

But when faced with an opportunity to demonstrate his abilities, he finds it hard to refuse.

"I hope you will not disappoint me."

Shen Yue muttered to himself, and wisps of sword energy emanated from his eyes, causing his white hair to flutter and his overall aura of oppression to intensify.

the other side.

Li Qingqiu moved with incredible speed, like a sharp arrow darting swiftly across the rooftops.

He quickly arrived at the inner city wall. He leaped up, his feet landing on the wall as if on flat ground, and stood on the wall, gazing at the dense forest in front of him.

He suddenly opened his mouth, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed towards his mouth. He then exhaled, and a vast and fierce flame swept out like a fire wave, covering a distance of twenty feet, and landed on the forest, where the fire spread rapidly.

The flames were raging, as if he were spewing out a sea of ​​fire, a magnificent sight that left the soldiers guarding the city walls in the distance speechless and unable to believe their eyes.

Five Elements Mysterious Heart Flame!
This was a legacy reward that Li Qingqiu had previously received. He had only barely mastered it and was not proficient in it. The reason it had such terrifying power was mainly because his vital energy was abundant enough.

at this time!

Countless leaves burst forth from the sea of ​​fire, raining down on Li Qingqiu like arrows.

Li Qingqiu drew his Tianhong Sword and swung it swiftly, using only his sword techniques to block the leaves one by one. The leaves were either cut in half or bounced off, embedding themselves in the city wall as sharp as blades.

Rumbling--

The ground began to tremble, the trees in front collapsed, and the vast sea of ​​fire followed suit.

Li Qingqiu immediately leaped up and plunged into the sea of ​​fire, falling into the abyss along with thousands of trees.

Through the white-haired boy's memories, Li Qingqiu already knows the location of the ancient god.

The forest isolated by the inner wall is no ordinary forest; it is also part of the ancient god, and Li Qingqiu deliberately provoked it.

As Li Qingqiu plummeted, he landed steadily on the ground of the underground cave. Burning trees and soil continued to fall from all directions, as if the world were collapsing.

Standing behind Li Qingqiu was Qi Tianquan, the head of the Qi family.

Qi Tianquan was shocked to see Li Qingqiu descend from the sky; he hadn't expected that only one person from the Qingxiao Sect would come.

How can it be?

Does this person intend to face the ancient gods alone?
Who is he?
Qi Tianquan stared intently at Li Qingqiu's back. In front of the ancient god, Li Qingqiu was as insignificant as an ant. From his perspective, Li Qingqiu could be buried by falling trees and mud at any moment. He could not imagine how Li Qingqiu could fight against the ancient god.
