Chapter 101: First Take Care of the Present!

  "You're here to kill me?"

  Qin Zheng pointed at his own nose, with a hint of a smile, looking at Gu Yu, this person is indeed arrogant.

  "It's very dangerous here." Gu Yu said calmly.

  "It seems you're quite well-prepared." Qin Zheng didn't notice any specific reliance on Gu Yu.

  "The Dragon Elephant Clan has fallen, and it's not necessary for me to make a deliberate effort to prepare here." Gu Yu's tone was filled with disdain towards the Dragon Elephant Clan, and even more so with arrogance.

  Qin Zheng was thinking quickly about whether or not to take drastic measures and kill someone.

  When his gaze fell on the tattered flag of the Great Flame Emperor, he suddenly realized that this was what Gu Yu had been relying on.

  The tattered flag may be in shambles, but the flames on it are far from extinguished. If they were to burst forth and erupt, the entire Dragon Elephant clan's residence would be endangered. It might not necessarily kill many powerful warriors, but it would undoubtedly pose a mortal threat to the elderly, weak, women, and children - something the Dragon Elephant clan cannot tolerate.

  At this moment, Qin Zhengsheng had an urge to rob.

  Once it's in hand, there's no need to worry.

  But he suppressed the impulse, mainly because once he lost his hand, the consequences would be unthinkable, and this risk was not worth taking, let alone that Gu Yu had not made it necessary for him to take such a risk.

  "Ah, that's right, this is my trump card. In my estimation, this flame will probably burn down all the buildings within a twenty-mile radius." Gu Yu toyed with a part of the tattered flag and pointed to the sky, "Add that one in, and I reckon the Dragon Elephant Tribe will be done for."

  Qin Zheng looked up.

  But it was the giant eagle that was circling in the air, with a piece of tattered cloth clutched in its beak, and as it flew, sparks were flying around it.

  "When will you take responsibility?" Qin Zheng could only endure silently.

  "Three days!" Gu Yu stretched out three fingers, "In three days, at Longxiang Mountain, Yingxia Cliff, you must hand over the Three Realms Linglong Beast to me. Otherwise, death!"

  When it came to the word "death", Gu Yu's momentum suddenly burst out, and the shattered stones around him flew up in a frenzy, with some even bursting open under pressure.

  Martial arts realm!

  Qin Zheng's mind was shocked, this ancient cosmos' age was almost the same as his, yet it had actually entered the realm of intent and martial arts, clearly the ancient cosmos possessed a rather unique and excellent martial pulse.

  "Three days, remember!"

  Ancient cosmos stretched out its hand and gathered the clouds into its bosom, then soared upwards.

  That giant eagle swooped down from the sky, just in time to let them land on its back. The other two Tianwu realm experts from the Great Flame Imperial Family also bid farewell and left.

  Qin Zheng gazed at the giant eagle as it flew away and said softly, "It seems that I won't be able to focus on my cultivation after all."

  Previously, the Longxiang Wangge's cultivation had been a great disappointment. Given that situation, it would have been difficult to enter the Yiwu realm before Yu Xiu Xin's Tribulation. Now that he has grasped the profundity of the Longxiang Tian Sheng technique, he can finally display his skills and cultivate with peace of mind, completing his predetermined goals without major issues. Who would have thought that he would be hindered in his cultivation once again?

  Longxiang Mountains, Yaoling Valley

  As the Dragon Elephant Mountain Range stretches for tens of thousands of miles, there are no fewer forbidden places within it. Among them, the Youling Valley is the most prominent. According to legend, the Youling Valley was formed when a peerless master of the demon tribe with a demonic spiritual pulse fought against humans and ultimately perished together with his opponent, but his demonic spiritual pulse's divine ability condensed into a single demonic true essence, occupying that mountain valley, thus becoming the Youling Valley.

  Inside the Youling Valley, day and night are shrouded in a hazy mist, making it difficult to see through even with special eye techniques.

  The demonic energy in this valley is so heavy that even a skilled demon clan member would find it hard to bear, for the demonic energy contains a certain amount of potent poison that specifically corrodes one's martial veins.

  It can be said that even some top-notch experts are unwilling to enter and explore.

  Shunfeng'er lives right here.

  The demonic aura in the valley of demons can make everyone fearful, but it has no effect on Shunfeng'er. His heavenly bat martial vein was too abnormal from the start, allowing him to be unaffected by the demonic aura in the valley. He also used various methods to deter many people who wanted to come and explore the valley, and since then he has lived here.

  This has been going on for over a decade, and today Batou Wu is perfect, also having no impact on him.

  The eerie and mysterious aura of the valley covered the sky and obscured the sun, making everything in the valley different from the rest. Even the ground, rocks, trees, flowers, and grass were all permeated with the aura, giving off a rare and strange feeling of being transformed by the spirits.

  Shunfeng'er was sitting on a piece of Youling stone.

  "Hmm..."

  He spat out a mouthful of turbid air, and saw that the breath came out of Shunfeng'er's mouth, naturally transforming into a bat-like monster, emitting a strange screeching sound, flying straight towards the depths of Youling Valley.

  As soon as he opened his eyes, two bat-like demons clearly appeared in his pupils.

  "Qin Zheng, I really did underestimate you seriously."

  "A single drop of blood not only cured my Tian Bat Wu Mai, but also advanced it further, and unexpectedly even allowed me to have a chance to recover the three-pronged Yao Bone Cone that turned this place into a demon spirit valley."

  "Haha, everyone knows that there are demons in the Demon Spirit Valley, but what they don't know is that everything is actually being manipulated by the Three-Pronged Demon Bone Spear. The demon spirits are just barely surviving with the help of the spear."

  "Now I've already made a breakthrough and entered the realm of intent and martial arts. Give me some more time, and I'll definitely master the Three-Pronged Demon Bone Spear."

  "Qin Zheng ah Qin Zheng, should I thank you properly?"

  Behind his back, a pair of bat wings suddenly unfolded to a length of ten meters. He looked at them and felt that they were still not domineering enough. With a thought, the bat wings suddenly expanded to thirty meters in length, lightly flapping, and he rose into the air, hovering one kilometer above the ground.

  He saw his hands constantly nodding.

  Soon, a strange aura gathered and transformed into a group of bat-like demons, rushing in all directions.

  This was a means he created after coming to Youling Valley, which had great help for him to gather intelligence.

  In about half an hour, a bat-like monster returned and landed on his hand before dispersing on its own.

  "Gu Yu has gone to find trouble with Qin Zheng already."

  "Haha, Qin Zheng, this is just the beginning. Previously, I was busy breaking through and didn't have time to bother with you. Now that it's started, you will know what it means to have endless trouble."

  "Regardless of whether you go or not, I have a way to make your next move a headache."

  His body trembled with excitement, "I can play again, play until Qin Zheng collapses, play until he goes crazy, play until he kneels down and begs for mercy, heh heh..."

  Longxiang Tribe

  Everything went on as usual, and no one asked Qin Zheng about the purpose of Gu Yu's arrival. They seemed to be tacitly showing their trust and recognition of Qin Zheng.

  This made Qin's politics greatly delighted.

  However, he couldn't hide it and told the three people about Gu Yu's so-called transaction.

  The three of them couldn't help but curse loudly after hearing it.

  "Qin Shao, why didn't you say so earlier? We can directly eliminate them." said Da Zhang Lao Lie Feng.

  "Yes, Qin Shao can't stabilize them, just get rid of them and avoid some trouble." The four elders, Cang Yun, also rarely agreed with the great elder Lie Feng.

  "It must be that Qin Shao has some unavoidable difficulties that forced them to leave."

  Three people still think about problems from Qin Zheng's position.

  Qin Zhengdao said, "Gu Yu and that giant eagle both have a piece of the large Flame Emperor flag's remaining fragments, inside which is sealed a flame. If we make a move, if we can't simultaneously achieve a one-hit kill on both of them, it will inevitably trigger an explosion of the flames within the remaining fragments, flattening the Dragon Elephant tribe's residence."

  "You despicable little mongrel, this was planned long ago." Cang Yun said angrily.

  "This Gu Yu is a man who appears arrogant on the surface but is actually very cautious." Qin Zheng said.

  "What should we do then? Just let him provoke us and ignore him?" Cang Yun felt a surge of anger rising in his chest.

  Qin Zhengmu shot a cold glance, "Three days later, he will be waiting for me at Longxiang Mountain Eagle Whistle Cliff. When I think of it, I'll get rid of them all together."

  Cang Yun was overjoyed and said, "This is for the best."

  On the contrary, the Great Elder Lie Feng's eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

  "The Great Elder does not agree." Qin Zheng attaches great importance to the Great Elder Lie Feng, who has already reached the end of his lifespan. After refining a drop of Dragon Elephant Divine Blood, he will be able to make a breakthrough during Yuxiu Xin's Tribulation period and reach the high-level Tianwu Realm, which will be the main force in this Tribulation.

  As soon as he heard this, Cangyun looked at Lie Feng with a cold gaze.

  "I was thinking, Gu Yu is after all a member of the Da Yan imperial family. If we kill him, will it provoke the Da Yan imperial family to retaliate and send even more powerful experts? That would be even more unfavorable for us." Lie Feng said with some concern.

  "The old man's worries are not unreasonable, but we can't take the initiative. With Gu Yu coming this time, he dared to propose such a ridiculous deal to me, he must make the first move. At that time, it will be difficult for us to seize the opportunity to kill them with one blow, and we may be passive everywhere, being controlled everywhere, which is even more unbearable." Qin Zheng said, "In the current situation, we can only take care of the present first."

  Lie Feng bitterly smiled and said: "Our strength is too weak, indeed we don't have the ability to consider further things."

  Sikong He and Cangyun also agreed at once.

  In the following days, Qin Zheng did not practice with Si Kong and others, but instead climbed alone to the top of a high mountain, practicing by himself.

  And during this time, the giant eagle would occasionally appear in the sky, circling back and forth at an altitude of 10,000 meters, openly taunting the Dragon Elephant Tribe with a provocative attitude. The four elders, including Cangyun, were so angry that they almost couldn't bear to rush up and kill the giant eagle on the spot. This was precisely proving what Qin Zheng said: if they didn't take action against Guyu's side, they would inevitably be constantly harassed by them in the future, possibly even suffering heavy losses. This further solidified their determination to take action.

  Others were furious, with occasional roars and insults from the Dragon Elephant tribe, but Qin Zheng was very natural, completely ignoring it, and even when there were clouds appearing on the giant eagle's back, he didn't bother to pay attention.

  Just cultivate with peace of mind.

  The Dragon Elephant Swallowing Heaven Technique was grasped by him to its essence, and the speed of his cultivation indeed reached an unimaginable level. As for himself, without many people collectively cultivating, Qin Zheng mobilized the heaven and earth's vital energy, just like transforming into a primordial dragon elephant. The transparent blood energy also went berserk, swallowing the sun's essence during the day and absorbing the starry night's essence at night.

  The essence of the sun and moon is constantly refined.

  He had been cultivating in the Dragon Elephant Royal Pavilion for over two months and was already close to achieving a major breakthrough in his martial arts. With the help of the others, including Sī Kōng, he was now on the verge of breaking through at any moment.

  This time it was a concentrated cultivation, and after two days, he finally achieved his wish and entered the Great Perfection of the Wu Realm.
