Qian Liangmu went up to assist without another word. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a Lightning Bead of Myriad Poison. It collided with the streak of light and nullified each other.
"Didn't I say you could watch?" The Myriad Poison Ancestor looked over with his green eyes and said in displeasure.
"I've watched master demonstrate the supreme skills of the cult, so I've been itching to make a fool of myself. Please guide me, master. Once we return to the cult, I'm willing to accept punishment!" Qian Liangmu said politely.
Praise filled the leader of the Myriad Poison cult's eyes. With a wave of his hand, he said, "So be it. I'll let you mess around this time!"
Before he had even finished speaking, the people of the Myriad Poison cult called out, "Please guide me, master!" "We're willing to accept punishment!" They swarmed over together, either using arcane artifacts or techniques, all bombarding Savage mountain. For a moment, light filled the surroundings. With the combined strength of an entire sect, the pressure on the protective formation immediately increased drastically.
"Senior tree king, may I ask how much longer you can last?" Ye Liusu was worried, asking the Banyan Tree King for guidance.
"Not too long. If nothing goes wrong … a year or so should be no problem." The Banyan Tree King swayed his branches and said in an ancient voice, "But with your assistance right now, it can last a little longer."
"Huh!?"
Ye Liusu was taken aback. She never expected the Banyan Tree King's "not too long" to be so long.
It was impossible for the Myriad Poison cult to spend a year or so on Savage mountain. It would already be impressive if they could last a few days. And, the Banyan Tree King had clearly made a conservative estimate.
In other words, it was impossible for the Myriad Poison cult to breach Savage mountain.
When the cave masters heard that, they could not help but work even harder. Fortunately, they did not turn down the offer Just Now, or they would definitely be punished once Li Qingshan returned.
They sighed in amazement inside, The Banyan Tree King really does live up to his reputation. With him presiding over the formation, probably only the King of Southern Yue can breach Savage mountain with a group of people!
"You guessed right. It really is the Ten Thousand Poison Cult. That old poisonous thing really can't tolerate me!" Li Qingshan stood on the cloud and gazed at Savage Mountain, which was shrouded in poisonous mist.
Seeing how it was not the King of Southern Yue, he still let out a sigh of relief. With the Banyan Tree King presiding over the protective formation, it definitely could not be taken down by a single Myriad Poison Ancestor.
"What should we do?" Little Ann asked.
"We obviously won't lose if we work together. Killing this group of disciples isn't a problem, but it'll be very difficult for us to keep the Myriad Poison Ancestor here. Right now is not the time for us to openly clash with him, but it's impolite not to reciprocate. Let's go to the headquarters of the Myriad Poison cult!"
Li Qingshan took Little Ann and flew away.
The Myriad Poison Ancestor suddenly felt uneasy. He looked at the horizon, but all he saw were white clouds. No matter how he thought about it, he did not feel like there was anything that could threaten him, so he made up his mind and continued his assault on Savage mountain.
"Yin Qing, come out!"
Yin Qing was currently cultivating in the Asura Field when Li Qingshan's voice suddenly rang out by her ear. She had already been moved outside the Asura Field.
"I have a mission for you. I wonder if your arts of escaping through space can pass through the formation below."
Yin Qing followed Li Qingshan's finger and looked in the direction that Li Qingshan was pointing at. All she saw was a huge basin below. Within the pale-green miasma sat a series of majestic buildings that rose and fell. They were all dyed dark green and gave off a sinister aura.
"Sure." Yin Qing studied it for a while and nodded in response.
As an asura from the Asura realm, she possessed arts of escaping through space that regular asura could not grasp. The formations of the Myriad Poison cult were powerful, but they could not stop her from infiltrating them.
"Then can you destroy the formations from the inside?" Li Qingshan took a step further and asked.
"No," Yin Qing said.
Little Ann said, "Regular formations are relatively easier to destroy from the inside, but the formations of the Myriad Poison cult restrict both the inside and the outside. If you try to forcefully destroy them, you'll definitely die from the backlash."
"That's fine. As long as you can get in, that's enough!" Li Qingshan said.
"Who's my target?" Yin Qing asked.
"Everyone!" Li Qingshan then corrected himself. "Not just the people, but the items too. Anyway, you have to destroy them as much as possible. All of the spoils will go to you."
"Yes, sir!"
Yin Qing accepted the order and took a step, vanishing. She appeared over five kilometers away and arrived in the north-western corner of the Myriad Poison cult with a few flashes. Afterwards, she used her arts of escaping through space and infiltrated there silently.
Little Ann said, "If that's the case, I'll have to fight the Myriad Poison cult to the death."
Li Qingshan said, "He can't get through my shield, but I have a spear that can pierce his shield. I obviously have to make good use of it."
Little Ann nodded. "In terms of assassination techniques, Yin Qing surpasses the night roamers. Apart from the Myriad Poison Ancestor himself, there aren't a lot of people in the Myriad Poison cult who can survive her assassination."
"The Asura realm is a higher world after all, one of the six realms of saṃsāra. In terms of experience in battle and slaughter, even I'm nowhere close to her. If I can gain a few more Asura Commanders as subordinates, I'll definitely be much more powerful than those cave lords. I wonder if I can use the Asura Field to summon the Asura King one day!"
Li Qingshan glanced at the Asura Field in his hand before casting his gaze at the Myriad Poison cult below.
"It'll be up to her performance next."
The Myriad Poison Ancestor had led all the elders and disciples of the cult out, but the cult was still very lively. Most of them were outer disciples who had yet to undergo the first heavenly tribulation, and a few protectors remained in the cult. Kang Ming happened to be one of them. Today, it was his turn to pass on the path of cultivation to the outer disciples.
He sat under the dripping eaves, facing a square made of limestone. Several hundred disciples stood sternly, listening attentively.
There was a gentle breeze, and the bronze bells on the eaves jingled. The sunlight shone down, covering the stone beasts on the eaves with a halo.
He was rather fed up with this job. He wasted his precious time on these pieces of trash. In another three years, not even a third of them would still be standing here, and after going through the various selections, there might not even be a single person who could reach his position in the end.
However, he could not ignore the rules of the cult, so he spoke patiently as his eyes darted around among the disciples. In this generation, there were a few disciples who were rather good-looking. He could play around with them when he had the time.
The warm wind blew, the sun shone brightly, and he was in the absolute safety of the sect, so he seemed extremely relaxed. He even felt a little tipsy. When a coldness suddenly filled his heart, he was slightly taken aback. He lowered his head, only to see a circular blade around his neck, glistening under the sunlight.
Kill!
The Myriad Poison Ancestor had been attacking Savage mountain for so long, so he gradually became anxious. He also found it rather strange. With his cultivation and mental fortitude, even if he could not take down Savage mountain, he should not be behaving like this. Had he failed to account for something?
And, it had already been so long, so why hadn't Li Qingshan returned yet?
He believed that as long as Li Qingshan appeared, he definitely would not be able to escape his senses. Then, he would be able to capture the leader. Even if he could not take down Savage mountain, it would not matter.
Right as he thought about it, his heart skipped a beat. Oh no!
Disciples of the Myriad Poison cult would all be implanted with the Poison Heart gu the moment they became inner disciples. It could drastically increase their cultivation speed and make it easier to control gu insects. At the same time, it was also a method of control, preventing them from betraying the cult. Once they were killed, they would sense it too.
