Dark Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 102 Foresight

"It's your father!"

Zhang Qing burst into the bedroom, roaring as he swung his Qingfeng sword again, slashing Yuan Chongshan in the neck!

The next moment, the blade was blocked by the latter's protective aura, and in an instant, it collided and scattered sparks.

Although the longsword in Zhang Qing's hand was not a magical artifact, it had been enhanced and could withstand a certain amount of magical power infusion.

This greatly enhanced its power.

However, his second sword still failed to break through the defense.

But Zhang Qing didn't care at all, and with his left hand, he reached out and grabbed at Yuan Chongshan, who was rolling on the ground.

An invisible force surged from his palm and instantly enveloped the outer disciple of the Yunlan Sect.

Binding spell!

Although Zhang Qing had only reached the beginner level in this spell, his mastery was not very profound.

With a [Spellcasting] attribute of up to 5.5 points, the magic he unleashed was like invisible ropes, instantly binding Yuan Chongshan tightly and greatly restricting his ability to move.

Although this "Imprisonment Technique" has no direct killing ability, it is extremely useful for capturing and locking down enemies.

The moment the forbidden technique landed, Yuan Chongshan's figure suddenly froze, and his counterattack was abruptly interrupted.

His protective aura was severely weakened by Zhang Qing's two sword strikes: it could not completely withstand the power of the Forbidden Technique, thus putting him in an extremely passive situation.

Seeing Zhang Qing raise his longsword, now gleaming with magical light, once more, this outer disciple of the Yunlan Sect finally felt the fear of death and roared in a hoarse voice, "You dare kill me? My Yunlan Sect—ah!"

The blustering threat instantly turned into a desperate scream.

Zhang Qing's third sword strike successfully broke through Yuan Chongshan's protective aura and landed on his right shoulder.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Just as Yuan Chongshan cried out in pain, a gleaming sword flashed across his throat like lightning.

puff!

A spurt of hot blood gushed out and splashed onto the wall beside him.

It's shocking to look at!

Yuan Chongshan covered his throat with his hand, his eyes filled with utter despair and pain, and then he slumped down and lowered his head.

There was no more breath.

Zhang Qing swung his longsword and precisely sliced ​​off the storage bag at the opponent's waist.

Then they collected the body.

The other body of Fu Qing was also made in the same way.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Qing unleashed a series of flames, setting the bed and furniture in the room ablaze.

This time, he killed two disciples of the Yunlan Sect.

Although they are all disciples of the lower academy, this still involves the dignity of the sect, and it is impossible for them to remain indifferent.

Therefore, Zhang Qing wanted to destroy as many clues as possible at the scene.

Although the house itself is made of stone and cannot be ignited, most of the items inside are good ignition sources.

The fire quickly spread, and thick smoke billowed out of the windows and doors.

The fire was out of control!

Meanwhile, Zhang Qing had already vanished into the night with his spoils.

A while later, terrified cries rang out from Xiahe Village: "Fire! The monk's house is on fire!"

The once quiet village suddenly became lively and bustling.

Many people ran out of their homes, carrying basins or buckets of water, to join the firefighting efforts.

When Zhang Qing quietly returned to Shiqiao Village, Xiahe Village was already in chaos.

As the culprit who caused this chaos, he felt no remorse or unease whatsoever. After closing his own door, he immediately began to count his spoils.

The spoils were naturally in the two storage bags.

Coins, pills, talismans, daily necessities, rice, grains, and meat —

Although there were no extra surprises, and the loot was basically the same as Zhang Qing's previous spoils, he was quite satisfied with the quantity.

One of the storage bags, which should belong to Yuan Chongshan, contained more than two hundred large talisman coins!

There was also a thick stack of talismans.

All the commonly used items are available!

This truly proves the saying—no one gets rich without unexpected wealth.

Whether it was elixirs, talismans, or even rice and meat, all of these replenished Zhang Qing's reserves.

Unfortunately, there were no fragments of ruins, no cultivation manuals, and certainly no magical artifacts.

But Zhang Qing was not greedy.

His decisive preemptive strike was aimed at nipping the threat in the bud and preventing endless trouble later.

As the saying goes, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Now that the two sides have fallen out, Zhang Qing can no longer harbor any illusions or pin his hopes on the other party's "benevolence."

As it turned out, he was absolutely right.

Of course, there are consequences.

But Zhang Qing wasn't too worried.

First of all, he did a very clean job. Even if he left any clues, he would burn them all to ashes.

If the Yunlan Sect were to investigate, unless a Nascent Soul True Immortal personally came and sacrificed his own lifespan to use the "Heavenly Secrets Technique" to recreate the scene of the "crime," there would be no evidence to prove that Zhang Qingqian was responsible.

But will a Nascent Soul True Immortal intervene?

There is absolutely no possibility!

Yuan Chongshan and Fu Qing were merely disciples of the Yunlan Lower Academy, without any significant background or status. Not to mention Nascent Soul True Immortals within the sect, even Golden Core True Immortals would not intervene on their behalf.

The most likely outcome of this incident will be that it was committed by itinerant thieves.

The Yunlan Sect would at most issue a bounty.

It is quite normal for remote villages like Shiqiao Village and Xiahe Village to be attacked by raiders.

Robbers generally dare not cause trouble in outer cities or military camps.

The vast area between the outer city of Los Angeles and the outermost camp, dotted with villages and manors, was undoubtedly their best "hunting" target.

One of the important duties of the garrisoned cultivators is to deal with the harassment from the raiding cultivators!

Most importantly, it's unlikely that Yuan Chongshan and Fu Qing deliberately caused trouble for Zhang Qingsheng because of orders from above; it's more likely that the two were trying to use coercion to gain personal benefits.

Under these circumstances, the possibility of Zhang Qing being exposed is extremely low.

However, he dared not be careless. The next few days were the same as usual, and he even shortened the inspection time.

In addition, Zhang Qing was also prepared for the Yunlan Sect to send people to interrogate him.

But he had clearly prepared in vain.

Two days later, Zhang Qing received some news from Village Chief Fan.

The cultivators stationed in Xiahe Village were attacked by raiders and disappeared without a trace. As a result, the lower branch of Yunlan Sect issued a reward.

While the bounty was being posted, new people quickly came to fill the vacant positions in Xiahe Village.

At this point, Zhang Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he's been under a lot of pressure these past few days.

He was terrified that a powerful figure from the Yunlan Sect would suddenly appear before him and capture him instantly!

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur.
