Chapter 85
A streak of sword energy tore through the sky, splitting the sun and moon, traversing the heavens and earth!
Beneath the plains, millions looked up in astonishment, their hearts trembling violently.
“An aura of the Great Emperor…”
“The Sword Emperor himself has made a move, intending to destroy that Demon Palace!”
“Heavens, this is too overwhelming! It’s said that the Sword Emperor dotes on his children exceedingly, and indeed, it’s true.”
The other Great Emperors of Beiyang gazed at the sky, murmuring to themselves.
“With this strike, the entire Canglan Dao Domain will likely be reminded of the Sword Emperor’s might.”
“The world thinks the Sword Emperor has lost the godly valor he had when he conquered all sides three thousand years ago, but how could they know that he is now even more terrifying.”
…
A step from the Great Emperor spans ten thousand miles. Misty Ghost Mountain, Ghost Fiend Palace.
The Ghost King was in the midst of harvesting the essence of a female cultivator. After a moment of enjoyment, the flesh and blood on her body withered away, leaving behind a dried corpse.
Such is the inhuman cruelty of the demonic cultivation!
“If I can successfully capture that imperial princess, I too shall become an emperor in the future.” A sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
The Supreme Yin Jade Maiden Physique, one of the top dual cultivation furnaces in the world. It doesn’t directly elevate one’s cultivation level but makes every future breakthrough far easier!
An ancestor had experienced it before. By harvesting the essence of a Supreme Yin Jade Maiden Physique, the bottlenecks in what were considered insurmountable realms became much easier to break through, allowing an almost unobstructed rise to the peak.
Eventually, he became an emperor, dominating the Dao Domain. Unfortunately, he was ultimately destroyed by the Thunder Emperor, leading to the decline of the demonic sect.
If he can capture the young imperial princess, within no more than a hundred years, he will surely lead the demonic sect to flourish again!
Until then, the Ghost King had no plans of leaving. As long as he stayed within the great formation, he was absolutely safe. Even if a Great Emperor comes personally, it would be impossible to find this place.
Boom!
At this moment, an earthquake erupted, and a violent roar came from above.
The Ghost King immediately stepped outside the hall. He looked up and his face turned deathly pale!
The great formation, which had merged with nature, was broken. With a single sword strike, the clouds shattered, and the sky opened!
The clouds and mist covering hundreds of miles around Misty Ghost Mountain disappeared in an instant.
The entire sect was in a panic, screams echoing everywhere.
“Lord Ghost King, the great formation has been broken… what’s going on!”
“It’s over.” The Ghost King staggered back two steps and spoke spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse. “It’s… the Sword Emperor himself…”
At this moment, regret had already begun to seep into his heart. What kind of foolish mistake did those few make to provoke the Sword Emperor into personally taking action…
But regret was too late.
The first sword shattered the clouds and mist! The second sword annihilated the Ghost Fiend Palace. Not a single living soul remained in the entire sect.
…
In the forest.
Lin Qi’an had already taken Zhao Qingmeng away.
She was filled with deep gratitude. She understood that Lin Qi’an deliberately claimed that the ghosts and demons harbored ill intentions toward him to protect her!
If everyone knew that the demonic sect was after the imperial princess, it would surely arouse the curiosity of countless people. By that time, trouble would follow one after another.
But Lin Qi’an was a man who sought vengeance on the same day it was owed! The demonic sect dared to make a move against him? Fine, then, use the power of Beiyang to annihilate them directly.
At this point, she realized that she owed Lin Qi’an a life. Should she still kill him? Perhaps one life should offset another!
At most, she would have him accompany her more in the future to balance out the resentment from their previous life…
“What are you thinking about so deeply?”
“Nothing…” Zhao Qingmeng leaned back, lying in Lin Qi’an’s arms with a sense of entitlement.
Lin Qi’an activated the Divine Eyes of the Heavenly Fated Villain.
【Zhao Qingmeng, Hatred Value: 10】
Unknowingly, it had almost completely dissipated. The remaining bit was likely due to some unresolved resentment from others.
Lin Qi’an admitted that his kindness toward her was intentional. It was to gain rewards through his strategy and that this girl would remember all the good you did for her. She was sharp-tongued, but her heart was honest.
Tomorrow, he would continue defeating the remaining teams and seizing their tokens. He aimed to reach 100 tokens as soon as possible to obtain the location of the Thunder Emperor’s abode!
…
Before long.
The Sword Emperor returned and eeryone knew that the Ghost Fiend Palace had been annihilated.
…
At dawn.
The second day of the Grand Hunt officially began.
There was no denying it; the team in group 108, where the two Sons of Fortune were, scored incredibly fast.
Even though Lin Qi’an took it easy for an entire night, they had already risen to first place. Meanwhile, the team in group 1002, where the two fairies were, didn’t fall behind in the slightest.
The other leading teams, who were also seed candidates, stayed at the forefront as well.
On this new day, Lin Qi’an continued to hunt down teams. Any team that encountered the Crown Prince had to kneel and hand over their tokens, which became a popular topic of discussion.
Every time people saw the Crown Prince in action, they anticipated how the opponent would kneel. Therefore, whenever a projection stone showed Lin Qi’an in action, it was always packed with people!
“Your Highness, here is the token!”
“Your Highness, please accept the token!”
One team after another was subdued by Lin Qi’an.
Speed was the highlight!
Others might have to fight fiercely for a long time to seize a single token. But for him, it didn’t even take half a cup of tea’s time.
With a Sacred Rank weapon and Divine Fire, he was far ahead of these ordinary geniuses; there was no need to even use his Dragon Might.
【Mission Progress: 52%】
According to the map in his mind, Lin Qi’an noticed that there was no one nearby. The closest group was in a mountain gorge twenty miles away.
“Let’s head to the Mountain Goblin Gorge.” Hearing this, Zhao Qingmeng shuddered with a chill, her body instinctively curling up.
“The mountain goblins there are extremely ugly and have a special fetish for human women. Just thinking about it is disgusting!”
“With me here, what are you afraid of?”
“Then… you must protect this princess well!”
