Dark Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 87 Private Event

As soon as it was light, Zhang Qing left Canglang Village.

This was his first time going out to hunt in the wild since he moved to Canglangji.

There was no other way. As the saying goes, even a hero can be brought down by a penny. Zhang Qing was so poor that he was about to pawn his storage bag. If he didn't find a way to earn some extra money, he would starve in the coming days.

Moreover, in another half month, he will be attending the Qingyun Gathering, which will determine his future path.

Using the "Land Leap Technique," Zhang Qing sped southwest.

Although he was not familiar with the area around Canglang Village, he was certain that as long as he headed towards the Black Mist Zone, he would find an ancient ruin suitable for hunting and exploration.

The closer you get to the black fog zone, the more dangerous it is, but the greater the rewards often are.

This time, Zhang Qing, who had already advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining, had considerable confidence.

So he ignored some ancient ruins that seemed to have little value and kept approaching the mountains covered by thick black fog.

After traveling for dozens of miles, Zhang Qing finally stopped.

A dark, ancient ruin covered by dense forest appeared in his field of vision.

This ancient ruin stretches south into the black fog zone, where towering trees block out the sun, giving it a sense of unpredictable danger.

But it is precisely in such places that a large number of ferocious beasts and evil spirits often dwell.

After a moment's thought, Zhang Qing decided to go inside and explore.

To Zhang Qing's surprise, just as he started to move, two figures suddenly darted out of the forest.

They blocked Zhang Qing's way from the left and right!

Zhang Qing's gaze sharpened, and his vigilance increased.

The two cultivators blocking the way were both dressed in gray-blue Taoist robes and carrying long swords on their backs.

One of the cultivators, sporting a distinctive mustache, stared menacingly at Zhang Qing and said, "Fellow Daoist, this is the territory of our Golden Orchid Gang. Unauthorized entry is prohibited!"

Jinlan Gang?

Zhang Qing was stunned for a moment.

After moving to Canglang Village, he spent most of his time cultivating, only occasionally going out once a year.

Therefore, we don't know much about the situation in this camp.

But Zhang Qing also knew that there was only one "boss" in the Canglang Group.

That's the Azure Wolf Alliance!

It is said that the Azure Wolf Alliance has hundreds of skilled and courageous cultivators, including many brave and skilled demons, and there are no challengers in the camp.

Below the Canglang Alliance, there are several smaller forces.

The kind of group of independent cultivators who band together for mutual support.

This place is not far from Canglang Village, and according to common sense, it should fall within the territory of Yingji.

If other factions were to come and explore the ancient ruins, it would be a blatant provocation against the Canglang Alliance, and it is unlikely that they would be so open and blatant.

Zhang Qing deduced from this that the "Jinlan Gang" mentioned by the other party was most likely a small force within the Canglang Group.

After thinking for a moment, he bowed and said, "Excuse me."

After saying that, Zhang Qing turned to leave.

He came out to hunt in the wild to make money, not to fight with others. Since this place was occupied by someone else, he decided to explore another place.

The wilderness was vast and boundless, with countless ancient ruins and relics. This was the first time Zhang Qing had encountered such a situation.

I don't think there's any need to hold a grudge.

"Wait!"

However, to Zhang Qing's utter surprise, even after he had backed down, the cultivator with the eight-character mustache suddenly spoke up to stop him.

"Um?"

Zhang Qing frowned: "Is there anything else, fellow Daoist?"

The cultivator with the mustache snorted coldly, twirled his long, thin beard, and said slowly, "You look like a spy. Hand over your storage bag so I can take a look. If there are no problems, I'll return it to you—damn it!"

Before he could finish his nonsense, a series of blazing flames suddenly attacked him, moving with the speed of an arrow released from a bow.

What's even more terrifying is that Zhang Qing's attack came almost without warning; he simply raised his hand and unleashed a dense barrage of flames!

Although the two sides were about twenty or thirty steps apart, the cultivator with the eight-character mustache was confident in his strength and thought that the two of them could easily defeat Zhang Qing. Therefore, he was vigilant but not prepared enough, and was caught off guard.

Most importantly, Zhang Qing's attack was too fast and too fierce!

boom! boom! boom!

With a series of muffled thuds, bursts of blazing fire containing deadly heat exploded on the bearded cultivator's body. Even his horse-faced face was hit, instantly blasting his clothes to shreds and sending flesh flying. He screamed in agony as he rolled to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, he was gone!

As Zhang Qing launched his attack, the companion of the cultivator with the eight-character mustache realized that something was wrong and immediately reached out and grabbed a talisman.

He was about to strike Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing unleashed a barrage of fireballs with his right hand, and with a flick of his left palm upwards, a lifelike fire crow instantly materialized.

He waved his hand again, and the fire crow suddenly spread its wings and soared into the air, swooping down on the companion of the eight-character mustache cultivator with lightning speed!

The latter felt a wave of heat rush towards him, his pupils turning completely red, and he was terrified.

The cultivator, without bothering to activate the talisman, hurriedly retreated and fled.

Intending to evade the fire crow's attack.

However, the fire crow drew a long arc in the air and suddenly accelerated to catch up with its target.

"what!"

The Jinlan Gang cultivator had no time to dodge and was struck in the face by the fire crow. The intensely hot flames then blasted into his eyes, nose, and mouth, instantly burning his head to a crisp.

After a moment, the cultivator, who was not weak, staggered and collapsed to the ground.

The power of the Fire Crow was fully revealed at this moment!

This sudden battle lasted for less than five breaths before it came to an end.

Zhang Qingfei stepped forward and skillfully first opened the storage bag, then put the corpse into the bag.

Then he turned and fled at top speed.

The other party has booked the entire venue; he's all alone, and he definitely can't win a head-on confrontation.

There's absolutely no need to fight for it.

Therefore, the best of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is to flee; once you've gained an advantage, leave as soon as possible.

At this moment, Zhang Qing unleashed the full power of the "Land Leap Technique," instantly covering a distance of over a hundred steps.

When the other Jinlan Gang cultivators in the ancient ruins heard the commotion and rushed over, they didn't even see Zhang Qing's back.

All they could find were some plants and trees on the ground that had been burned by the splashing flames.

While the Jinlan Gang cultivators were searching for their companions, Zhang Qing had already fled several miles away.

He chose a secluded and safe spot and took out the two storage bags he had just seized from his pocket.

Open blind boxes.

Zhang Qing was pleasantly surprised by the result.

Besides some commonly used talismans and pills, the two storage bags contained dozens of large talisman coins, over two hundred small talisman coins, and three to four hundred catties of fresh ferocious beast meat.

There are also some other miscellaneous materials.

This is truly a case of "murder and arson bring wealth and power"!

There are also two monks' corpses, which can be sold at the night market for money.

In short, Zhang Qing's financial crisis disappeared by more than half at once.

This even gave him the idea of ​​sneaking back to pull off another heist against that so-called sworn brotherhood.

But Zhang Qing ultimately suppressed this dangerous idea.
