Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Zhang Xiaofan walked out of Yuqing Hall with a complicated expression, never expecting to learn the truth about Caomiao Village today.

His mind was in turmoil at that moment, and even when he saw Chang Jian outside the hall, he had little energy to talk to him.

"Senior Brother Chang, I'm going back now."

Before Chang Jian could speak, Zhang Xiaofan left on his own.

"What's wrong with Junior Brother Xiao Fan?"

Chang Jian was stunned. It was the first time he had seen Zhang Xiaofan like this. He seemed to have suffered a great blow and looked extremely haggard.

What did Master say to Zhang Xiaofan?
"Chang Jian".

At that moment, Xu Qing's voice rang out from behind Chang Jian.

Upon hearing the sound, Chang Jian quickly turned around and saw Xu Qing walking out of the Jade Purity Hall. He bowed and greeted him, "Master."

"I need to go down the mountain for a while. If anyone looks for me these days, just tell them that I am in seclusion for cultivation."

Xu Qing's words startled Chang Jian. How many years had it been since his master had left Qingyun Sect?

He can't remember it anymore.

And now we're actually going down the mountain!
“Master, the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament is in a few days. It’s not right for you to go out at this time…” Chang Jian reminded him.

"It won't be long, at the latest five days, before we return."

Xu Qing naturally knew that the Seven Sects Martial Arts Tournament was approaching, but the specific date for its commencement was still up to him, the sect leader, to decide.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qing disappeared from the spot.

"This is really strange. Master has never left Qingyun Sect in all these years, but after seeing Xiaofan, he actually wants to go down the mountain!"

Chang Jian was completely bewildered, finding the whole thing incredibly strange and incomprehensible.

At this moment, Xu Qing transformed into a streak of azure light and left Qingyun Sect.

The first volume of the Heavenly Book is in the Blood-Dripping Cave, which is located in Mount Kongsang.

Kongsang Mountain is quite a distance from Qingyun Sect, after all, it was the former headquarters of the Blood Refining Hall, a major sect of the Demonic Sect.

Naturally, they wouldn't get too close to the righteous sect, Qingyun Sect.

However, given Xu Qing's travel speed, he will arrive in no time.

The power of the Wind Dao Divine Ability is integrated into the Rainbow Transformation Flight Technique of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao, which is enough to make this escape technique even faster.

Before long, Xu Qing arrived at the foot of Kongsang Mountain, which was thousands of miles away.

There is a huge and prosperous city here, called Yudu City.

The entire city of Yudu belongs to the geomantic veins of Kongsang Mountain, so the Dripping Blood Cave is actually located in the underground space of Yudu City.

Xu Qing hovered above Yudu City, his divine sense powerfully searching for the entrance to the underground of Yuzhou City.

"found it."

Xu Qing's heart stirred slightly, and his figure instantly disappeared into the air.

The next moment, in a place called Bibo Pavilion within the city.

Xu Qing's figure emerged from the blue light.

Looking at the barrier mark at the entrance, Xu Qing was about to forcefully break through it.

But he stopped himself and turned to look behind him.

"stop!"

An elderly man in brocade robes with white hair walked over, leaning on a cane.

"Such attire... could it be... that you are perhaps one of the peak masters of the Qingyun Sect?"

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of surprise in his expression, as he recognized the Qingyun Sect insignia on Xu Qing's clothing.

The visitor is a powerful figure from the Qingyun Sect!

"I am Dao Xuan of the Qingyun Sect. You must be the city lord of Yudu City?"

Xu Qing was also sizing up the old city lord. He was very old, but his cultivation was not weak.

That's equivalent to the strength of the head of his Qingyun Sect lineage.

"Dao Xuan?!"

The old man repeated the title, then his eyes widened in surprise as he exclaimed, "It is actually the Qingyun Sect Leader, Dao Xuan Zhenren, who has come in person! I, Wei Qiong, have failed to greet you properly!"

Xu Qing slightly raised his hand: "Lord Wei, there's no need for that."

After some casual conversation, the two got down to business.

"Does Dao Xuan Zhenren know what's inside?"

Wei Qiong walked to Xu Qing's side and pointed to the bottomless black hole.

"The Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Bats." Xu Qing nodded slightly.

"It seems the real person came here specifically for this place." Wei Qiong's eyes gleamed. "Indeed, you want to stop me?" Xu Qing glanced at Wei Qiong.

Wei Qiong shook his head and said, "The Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Bats is filled with countless blood-devouring bats and a large number of undead. I am simply unable to eliminate them with my power."

"You are truly kind enough to resolve this calamity for the people of Yudu City; I am deeply grateful and would never stop you."

Xu Qing gave Wei Qiong a deep look; this old guy was a sensible man.

"Then let's open the barrier."

Xu Qing had no interest in chatting with the old man.

He came only for the Heavenly Book, and of course, he could also take the opportunity to deal with the demons and spirits in the Ten Thousand Bats Cave for Yudu City.

Without further ado, Wei Qiong cast a spell to open the barrier at the entrance.

The opponent is the head of the Qingyun Sect, whose strength is outstanding. He may not be the number one in the cultivation world today, but there are very few who can be compared with Dao Xuan.

Therefore, after understanding the other party's intentions, Wei Qiong was happy to cooperate.

It would be best if the scourge of the Ten Thousand Bats Cave could be resolved.

As for the other party's true purpose, Wei Qiong didn't need to know.

He doesn't need to know.

That's their secret.

"Thank you." Xu Qing nodded slightly, then transformed into a streak of green light and vanished into the darkness.

Wei Qiong stood to the side, gazing at the dark entrance and muttering to himself, "Although I don't know why a sect leader like you would come here, if you can truly resolve the calamities within the Ten Thousand Bats Cave..."

The people of Yudu City owe you a great debt of gratitude…

At this moment, Xu Qing could no longer hear Wei Qiong's mutterings; he had already gone deep underground.

The underground area was dark, gloomy, and extremely damp.

Xu Qing's Taoist robe emitted a dark green light, illuminating the surrounding environment.

Before us was the entrance to a huge cave, from which a foul stench wafted faintly.

This environment is ideal for bats to survive.

Xu Qing raised his hand and pointed, and all the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) transformed into endless sword energy, like a tornado or a tidal wave, bursting into the cave.

In an instant, the cave entrance widened, and sword energy tore apart all the black bats hanging upside down on the top floor of the cave entrance.

A piercing scream emanated from the swarm of bats; it was a unique sound wave, incredibly harsh, as if they wanted to take revenge on Xu Qing even in their dying moments.

However, Xu Qing's Taoist robe emitted a light shield, and this magical robe, crafted by Dao Xuan, possessed various functions.

It provides light, removes dust, isolates sound waves, is impervious to swords and spears, and is immune to water and fire, among other benefits.

This is the demeanor of the leader of the righteous sect.

The Taoist robe alone possesses extraordinary power.

Xu Qing kept raising his hand, and the sword energy condensed rapidly, like an endless sea of ​​cherry blossoms, incomparably beautiful, slaying the seemingly endless swarm of bats in the cave.

Blood flowed freely, the stench of gore filled the air, and countless terrifying blood blossoms flickered in the night before falling to the ground.

His expression was indifferent; he killed these cold-blooded beasts without any reaction.

There were simply too many of these bats.

In a short period of time, he had killed tens of thousands of bats, yet more and more bats continued to pour out of him.

The power of these bats meant nothing to him.

But for the younger generation of disciples, it would be an incredibly terrifying scene and crisis.

Not to mention the ordinary people of Yudu City.

If these bats were to swarm out, the tens of millions of ordinary people in the great city of Yudu would be sucked dry and turned into mummies.

This is absolutely a major disaster for Yudu City.

Now that Xu Qing has killed these bats, he has averted disaster for the people of Yudu City.

As my thoughts raced, I saw the entrance to the cave before me, a river of blood flowing, with mountains of black bat carcasses piled up everywhere.

Xu Qing roughly calculated that he had killed nearly a million black bats.

These vampire bats have an astonishingly high reproductive rate!
If millions of vampire bats were to fall into the hands of the demonic cult, they would undoubtedly form a terrifying force.

However, these bats were wiped out by Xu Qing's sword energy.

Not a single one remains!
A terrifying stench of blood permeated the surroundings, accompanied by a foul odor.

Xu Qing frowned. These evil blood and corpses, if left to accumulate for a long time, might give rise to evil spirits!
"Mingyi Heavenly Fire, emerge!"

Xu Qing drew upon the most yang flames in the world; the fire-based divine power was extremely strong and yang, making it the most effective against evil spirits!
The sea of ​​fire burned everything, the river of blood evaporated, and the stench gradually dissipated under the flames.
