LRAB Chapter 24 Purple Mountain and the Zhang Family
Chapter 24 Purple Mountain and the Zhang Family
The northernmost region of the eastern wilderness.
In stark contrast to the ancient wolf forests of the southern region.
As far as the eye can see, all that remains is emptiness and desolation.
The boundless earth was empty, except for a monotonous reddish-brown hue.
"Brother Qin Feng, are you really not coming back to Yaochi with us? It seems things won't calm down anytime soon," the Holy Maiden of Yaochi said solemnly.
Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.
A Dao Palace cultivator was carrying half a broken Emperor Weapon.
To anyone, this was a piece of incredibly tempting meat.
Despite the fact that the various forces in the Eastern Wilderness haven't made any moves before, many of them have probably already come to the Northern Region, just waiting for Qin Feng to be alone.
"Thank you for your kindness, Sister Yiyi, but Yaochi can only protect me for a while, not forever. In the end, I have to walk my own path in the future."
Qin Feng bowed in thanks, then looked at Yao Xiaoqi, who was kicking pebbles with a sullen expression, and said, "Next time! I'll definitely come when your Yaochi hosts the Peach Banquet! Don't say I came uninvited!"
"Pah, what do I care whether you come or not? You make it sound like this future immortal is eager to see you." Yao Xiaoqi turned around haughtily, pouting her little mouth.
"Little Seven, Little Seven." The Holy Maiden of Yaochi shook her head helplessly.
After a short while, Yao Xiaoqi, who had just finished being arrogant, was about to "show mercy" and allow Qin Feng to participate in the next Peach Banquet when she turned around and saw that Qin Feng was nowhere to be seen.
Qin Feng, already wrapped in the Feather Transformation Banner and using the Heavenly Spin Steps, disappeared into the desolate wilderness.
"Waaaaah!" The girl went crazy.
……
A week later.
Qin Feng, weary from his journey, found Purple Mountain by following the map of the Northern Region given to him by Yaochi.
Purple Mountain is entirely purplish-brown, as if it were polished from dull purple gold. It is heavy and solemn, reaching a height of four thousand meters, and is extremely steep.
It has many knife marks, palm prints, and finger holes, almost weathered and worn away, and can only be seen clearly by careful observation.
As a time traveler, Qin Feng was naturally very clear about everything in Zishan.
Its terrain, guarded by nine dragons, is so powerful that only a Great Emperor could shake it.
In ancient times, Purple Mountain was also known as Divine Spirit Mountain, the sacred site of the Immortal Emperor, where countless ancient races were sealed.
The Immortal Emperor's wife, the Immortal Empress, and his son were also sealed in Purple Mountain.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Great Emperor Wushi appeared out of nowhere and swept away all enemies in the world.
The immortal empress, who was sleeping in Zishan, was dragged out by the Great Emperor Wushi.
After that battle, Zishan changed its surname to "Wu" and became the Daoist temple of the Great Emperor Wushi.
Today, the two most important things of the Great Emperor Wushi still exist in Purple Mountain.
The Imperial Scripture: The Scripture of Beginninglessness.
Imperial Weapon: Wushi Zhong (锺鳺).
Any one of these factors would be enough to drive the entire BeiDou system into a frenzy.
Although Qin Feng was also very tempted by the things in Zishan, he was even more aware of the dangers of Zishan.
Let alone a small Dao Palace like his, even if a group of powerful Saint Lords entered Purple Mountain, the only outcome would be death.
Even with the protagonist's halo protecting him, Ye Fan still went through countless near-death experiences before finally finding the Origin Book.
Fortunately, there are still five thousand years until the Source Book is lost in Purple Mountain. Qin Feng only needs to find Zhang Family Stone Village.
Although the exact location is not shown on the map, with Zishan Mountain as an anchor point, finding Shizhai is not difficult.
Qin Feng used the Tianxuan Step technique to circle around the outer edge of Zishan Mountain. After about half a day, an ancient stone village came into view.
Before Qin Feng could get close, a wave of yellow sand and dust suddenly rose from another direction.
A band of northern bandits, riding exotic horses, burst through the gates of the stone stronghold, their killing intent palpable.
Before long, the bandits had gathered everyone in the stone village in the square.
"Damn it, that brat from the Zhang family is something else. He tricked the sect leader into believing that entering Purple Mountain would provide an inexhaustible source, even a divine source, but instead he plotted to kill us. If it weren't for the sect leader's great power, we would have really fallen for that brat's trick."
A bandit with a thick beard and a body full of fat cursed and swore.
"My son... how is my son?" An elderly man with white hair and beard stepped forward shakily.
"Heh, needless to say, it'll be skinned alive and exposed to the light of day." The bearded bandit's lips curled into a cruel smile.
Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed.
"Grandpa Zhang"
The villagers of Shizhai quickly helped him up.
"Don't rush to die. Your son is still alive. My cult leader said that killing him is far from enough. He needs to see all the people he wants to protect die in front of him. That despair is the perfect accompaniment to his drinks."
At this point, the bandits, led by Big Beard, all laughed.
"Men, quickly tie these people up and take them back. The cult leader can't wait to see the show."
At the big-bearded man's command, the bandits, most of whom were at the Sea of Wheels realm, immediately stepped forward with ill intent.
Sudden.
With a soft "plop," the bandit at the front froze, a gaping hole of blood appearing between his eyebrows.
Puff puff!
A series of dull thuds rang out, and the bandits stopped in their tracks one after another.
"Hey, what are you standing there for? Why aren't you moving?" The bearded bandit shoved the person next to him in an annoyed tone.
With a loud thud, the person who was pushed fell straight down.
Only then did the bearded bandit realize that all his men were dead.
"Wha...who is it?!"
The bearded bandit suddenly widened his eyes in terror, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.
His hair stood on end, and he felt a chill emanating from every pore of his body.
Without a sound, all his subordinates died; the scene was truly bizarre.
despair!
blah blah blah!
Just then, footsteps sounded, echoing in everyone's ears.
People in Shizhai Square all looked up at the sky, squinting their eyes.
A figure emerged from the sun, like a son of the sun, majestic and solemn.
"Oh, immortals~"
"Please, sage, save us!"
The people of Shizhai all knelt down on the ground.
"You...you...who are you?" The bearded bandit's voice cracked with terror.
"Just a passing rogue cultivator," Qin Feng said calmly.
"A rogue cultivator?" The bearded man's eyes darted around, and he became arrogant again. "My sect leader is a great cultivator at the Four Extremes Realm, and he has countless elites under his command. Fellow Daoist, don't make a mistake." The bearded bandit said in a fierce but cowardly tone.
"Four Extreme Realms? Is that so great? It's not like I haven't killed them before!"
Qin Feng took his last step and suddenly lunged forward to stand in front of the bearded bandit.
Before the bearded bandit could even react, Qin Feng grabbed him by the neck like a chick and slowly lifted him up.
A golden beam shot out from between Qin Feng's eyebrows, unleashing his powerful primordial spirit. He used the Soul Searching Technique to instantly discern everything about the forces behind the bearded man.
