Chapter 178 - Rule Over Qinghe!



Chapter 178: Rule Over Qinghe!

Su Jingxing was puzzled.

The long-faced man and the others were even more shocked.

“What are you talking about, Brother Xiong? Isn’t the place we found a treasure location?”

“Yes!”

The muscular man said in a low voice, “There aren’t any treasures there. At the very least, they aren’t the treasures that we think they are. The reason we want to break the seal is to verify something.”

“What is it?”

“Reveal the array formation!”

“Huh, what do you mean?”

“You’ll know when the time comes, if we can break the seal.”

The muscular man didn’t elaborate and continued the previous topic. “The question now is, should we get the help of the senior at the bottom of the cliff?”

“I think we can.”

Yu Qi mused and said, “That senior meant us no harm. If we seek him out and explain the reason immediately, he won’t do anything to us even if he refuses to help.”

“After all, this matter concerns the Rising Dragon Saber King!”

Rising Dragon Saber King?

Prince Qin, Liu Chenglong?

Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows.

It had been more than 400 years since Liu Chenglong’s death, and this was still related to him. What could it be?

A seal and array formation.

There sure were many secrets.

“I thought so too,”

said the muscular man with a smile. “This matter concerns the Rising Dragon Saber King. I doubt the senior at the bottom of the cliff would reject us. With his help, breaking the seal shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Shall we… return?” ventured the long-faced man.

“Yeah, let’s!”

The muscular man rose to his feet and said solemnly, “When we return to ask to ask the senior to lend us a helping hand, whether or not the deal works out, we’ll offer 100 million… no one billion Great Yu dollars as a token of our sincerity!”

“Huh? A billion?”

“Is that too much?”

“Yeah, a billion is enough for all of us to cultivate for half a year.”

“…”

All the others spoke up.

Except Yu Qi. He snorted, “Remember, third-grade is not fourth-grade. There’s a world of difference between the two. Don’t lump them together!”

The others immediately fell silent.

That’s right, although third-grade and fourth-grade seemed to be only one realm apart, their status was completely different.

Just Martial Art True Intent alone had intercepted countless people.

When asking a third-grade martial artist to lend a helping hand, how interesting the matter was was one aspect; showing their sincerity was another.

The latter seemed unnecessary, but if they took the opportunity to establish ties with a third-grade martial artist…

That would be great!

This “one billion” fee was nothing but a stepping stone.

Green Cloud Court did not lack this bit of money. However, if they ended up befriending a “third-grade” big shot because of this, heh!

“Whether it works or not, they’ll offer a billion dollars. This Green Cloud Court is quite generous huh?”

Su Jingxing left quietly after listening to them.

If he didn’t, the muscular man and company would be ahead of him.

He increased his speed to the maximum.

He returned to the edge of the cliff and charged straight down.

After entering the tunnel and arriving at the underground cave, he found that the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf was still lying in a corner.

Sensing movement, it jerked its head up. Seeing that it was Su Jingxing, it then slowly laid back down again.

“Brother Wolf, has the flower recovered?”

asked Su Jingxing, nodding at the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf and pointing at the sunflower.

After interacting with for some time, the intelligent Giant Silver-Winged Wolf and Su Jingxing could already communicate simply and understand each other’s intentions.

“Ooh~”

The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf shook its head with a helpless expression.

“Looks like we have to continue waiting.”

Su Jingxing mulled over it and said after some thought, “Perhaps it’ll only recover next month.”

“Ooh…”

answered the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf weakly.

“Well, Brother Wolf, you don’t have to wait here all the time. Look at Brother Goose, he has already left, hasn’t he?” advised Su Jingxing.

Aah ooh!

The Giant Silver-Winged Wolf shook its head and swept its tail on the ground hard.

“Alright then, as long as you like it. I’ll get going.”

With a wave, Su Jingxing turned around and left.

If the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf enjoyed staying in the underground cave, so be it.

The concentration of worldly energy in the cave wasn’t low either; one could still cultivate in the cave.

The cultivation of Mutated Beast also required worldly energy and heavenly treasures.

However, the methods used were different from martial artists; they relied on either innate abilities or their own bloodlines.

Su Jingxing paid no attention to this aspect.

Neither did he mention them to the big white goose or the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf.

Because the two of them were on completely different paths.

He walked out of the tunnel.

Su Jingxing took out a new cloak and mask from his palm space and quickly put them on.

He was interested in taking a look at the seal related to Prince Qin, Liu Chenglong.

Whether or not he would lend a helping hand was another matter. He would check out the situation before making a decision.

For that, Su Jingxing was in no hurry to leave the bottom of the cliff. Instead, he waited for a moment.

He heard shouts coming from the top of the cliff. He only charged into the sky after three shouts.

Swoosh!

“Senior, we are from the Green Cloud Court. Please excuse us for the disruption. There’s really… really…”

The muscular man stopped mid-sentence.

He turned his head stiffly and looked at the cliff ten meters to his right. A figure had suddenly appeared.

Before he could say anything, Yu Qi first shouted with a bow. “Yu Qi from Green Cloud Court here. Greetings Senior!”

“I’m Du Kexin from Green Cloud Court. Greetings, Senior!”

“I’m Lu… Lu Hao from Green Cloud Court Lu. Greetings, Senior!”

“…”

The others snapped out of their daze and turned around to greet Su Jingxing respectfully.

“Xiong Qifan from Green Cloud Court. Greetings, Senior.” The muscular man, was the last to call out and bow.

The group of seven remained in the same position, unmoving.

Su Jingxing, who was wrapped in a cloak and wearing a mask, had restrained his aura to become entirely like an ordinary person.

However, this only made Xiong Qifan, Yu Qi, and the others more alarmed.

Without Su Jingxing speaking, they didn’t even dare to straighten up or move.

There was a long silence.

“What is it?”

said Su Jingxing in a controlled voice. His old and dull voice echoing off the cliff.

“It’s… it’s like this.”

Xiong Qifan swallowed some saliva, carefully straightened his body, and answered, “The recent news regarding the Mausoleum of Prince Qin caused quite a stir. When the Green Cloud Court was investigating the Rising Dragon Saber King from 400 years ago, we accidentally discovered that this Prince Qin had two big private armies under his command back then——Owl Dragon and Flying Lion!

“These two armies don’t have many members, but they are both very powerful.

“After the death of the Rising Dragon Saber King, the Owl Dragon joined the royal court and went under Emperor Yu’s command to become the strongest blade in the hands of the first Emperor.

“Flying Lion, on the other hand, disappeared mysteriously. Rumor has it that they disbanded right after the death of Prince Qin and went their separate ways. Other rumors said that they entered the Mausoleum of Prince Qin and died of old age in it. There were also rumors that they refused Emperor Yu’s offer of enlistment and were secretly killed by him.

“There were a dozen different versions of what happened. However, after our in-depth investigation, we discovered that everyone in Flying Lion did not die. Instead, they had chosen to seal themselves!”

“Seal themselves?” asked Su Jingxing in a dull voice.

“That’s right,” said Xiong Qifan solemnly. “According to our investigations, after the death of the Rising Dragon Saber King, the Flying Lions helped build the Mausoleum of Prince Qin. After that, they chose a place to seal everyone. It’s similar to freezing. Not only does it preserve one’s physical body, it also puts one’s consciousness into a deep sleep.

“Once the seal is broken and the array formation is broken, all the members of the Flying Lion army will be awakened.

“Yes, we found the place where the Flying Lion army sealed itself.

“However, our strength is limited, and we need the help of a stronger force. We would like to trouble you to break the seal with us and awaken the Flying Lion army!”

Xiong Qifan ended excitedly. Ignoring the shocked expressions of Lu Hao and the others, who were hearing the news for the first time, he continued, “Rest assured, Senior. Regardless of whether the seal is broken or not, we will offer you a billion Great Yu dollars as payment.”

Su Jingxing asked, “And?”

“And? And what?” Xiong Qifan was confused.

Yu Qi’s eyes lit up and he asked respectfully, “Senior, are you talking something the matters after we awaken the Flying Lion army in the future? Or our goal in awakening them?”

When Xiong Qifan heard this, he quickly explained, “Don’t worry, Senior. We have no ill intentions in waking up the Flying Lion army. We just want to build a good relationship with them. If possible, it would be best if we can put Green Cloud Court under the name of Flying Lion.”

“You’re very frank,” replied Su Jingxing coolly.

“Well, haha. We just want to hit the jackpot and find a backer.”

Xiong Qifan scratched his head and gave a silly smile. “Senior, you might not be aware of this, but there are a total of 108 members in the Flying Lion army. A hundred of them are in the fourth-grade, five are in the third-grade, and three are in the second-grade!

“If we can get the protection of the Flying Lions, the Green Cloud Court will undoubtedly rule Qinghe City. In fact, we’ll no longer be limited to the Changyang Prefecture. We might even be able to make a name for ourselves in the entire Yu Nation!”

“Tss!”

Everyone gasped.

When Lu Hao, Du Kexin, and the rest heard this, they snapped back to their senses in shock.

“Are you serious, Brother Xiong? Is the Flying Lion army really that powerful?”

“A hundred people in the fourth-grade, five people in the third-grade, and three people in the second-grade? That’s enough to f*cking turn Changyang Prefecture upside down!”

“I see. No wonder you kept the secret for so long, Brother Xiong. If many people had known about this, the news would inevitably spread and attract the attention of the Li Family, the Divine Fist Sect, and the other factions. Tsk tsk, this Flying Lion army is amazing. They’re full of experts.”

“Yeah, Brother Xiong said that place wasn’t a treasure location. In my opinion, this is better than any treasure!”

“…”

Du Kexin and the others started discussing animatedly.

Prior to this, they only knew that Green Cloud Court had found a secret location that was suspected to be a treasure location.

They didn’t know the exact details. Only Yu Qi, Xiong Qifan, and a few other upper echelons of Green Cloud Court were privy to that.

Now that they had learned the full story and figured out how powerful the Flying Lion army was, they were all pleasantly surprised.

If what Xiong Qifan said was true, with the backing of the Flying Lion army, wouldn’t Green Cloud Court take off immediately and rule Qinghe City?

At that time, the Li and Zhou Families would be reduced to lackeys.

There was no need to fear even the Changyang Prefecture administration!

With this in mind, Du Kexin and the rest couldn’t contain their excitement. They looked at Su Jingxing with burning eyes.

Break the seal and awaken the Flying Lions, and a bright future laid ahead of them.

However——

“Pretty nice daydreams there,”

Su Jingxing commented coolly. His old, powerful voice reverberated across the top of the cliff. “Awakening the Flying Lions and making them your backers? Heh, are you so sure they will be grateful to you?”

Silence.

Xiong Qifan, Du Kexin, Lu Hao, Yu Qi… Everyone kept their mouths shut, their expressions changing.

“You are referring to…” Xiong Qifan began carefully.

“Do you really need me to remind you?” said Su Jingxing mockingly. “If what you said is true, that the Flying Lion army chose to seal themselves and have kept the dead Rising Dragon Saber King company to this day. Do you think they would be happy that you awakened them?”

“Don’t forget why they chose to seal themselves back then!”

Xiong Qifan stopped talking, his expression grim.

The same went for Du Kexin, Lu Hao, and the others. They were enlightened yet lost and fearful.

That’s right.

All they thought about was awakening the Flying Lion army and cozy up to them. However, they never considered whether the 108 experts of the Flying Lion army would be willing for that to happen!

If the latter was unwilling, and they foolishly broke the seal and the array formation, what awaited them might not be a backer, but bloody sabers.

Given the strength of the Flying Lion army, killing everyone in Green Cloud Court was no different from squashing an ant.

The party shuddered at the thought.

“S-Senior is right. I think we should forget it,” stammered Du Kexin. “Brother Xiong, we should let the Flying Lions continue to be sealed.”

Xiong Qifan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back down.

Yu Qi was equally silent.

Indeed, they couldn’t afford to mess around with this. Previously, all he thought about was benefits, not disadvantages.

Now that Su Jingxing had pointed it out, they were f*cked!

“Sorry.”

After a while, Xiong Qifan sighed and smiled bitterly. “I’m sorry to have bothered you, Senior. And thank you for the reminder. We didn’t consider everything carefully. We’ll think about it when we get back. Don’t worry, the one billion dollars…”

“Do I lack money?”

interrupted Su Jingxing. “Do I lack that one billion dollars?”

“Err…” Xiong Qifan smiled awkwardly, not daring to answer.

Su Jingxing’s attitude was difficult to grasp. If he killed them all over a bad answer, they wouldn’t be able to complain.

Therefore, the best response was to remain silent.

Du Kexin, Lu Hao, Yu Qi, and the others lowered their heads in silence. Everyone was feeling nervous.

“Hmph!”

said Su Jingxing softly. “Do you think I’m someone at your beck and call? Now that you’re all afraid and decide to give up, have you ever considered my feelings?”

“Sorry, sorry!”

Xiong Qifan bent over at more than a hundred degrees, his head almost touching the ground.

The others followed suit.

“Cut the crap,” said Su Jingxing coldly.

Xiong Qifan was about to fly into a rage, but he didn’t dare.

He swallowed some saliva.

“Then… then what do you mean, Senior…” asked Xiong Qifan cautiously.

“My intentions are simple,”

Su Jingxing said indifferently. “Let’s put the matter of awakening the Flying Lion army aside for now. We’ll discuss the next step after we go check out the place they are sealed at.”

He was just short of telling Xiong Qifan to bring him to the location!

That’s right. This was Su Jingxing’s goal.

They were one of Liu Chenglong’s two major armies, and consisted of a hundred people in the fourth-grade, five in the third-grade, and three in the second-grade.. It was one thing if Su Jingxing didn’t know about this but now that he did, he had to go take a look!
