Ruling Martial World by Infinite Insect Swarms

Chapter 133: Chapter 128: The Might of the Primordial Mansion Realm! The Zong Family Arrives Again

That night, Elder Qin Wenyuan and Situ Ming talked late into the night. Qin Yu also spoke up from time to time, revealing some intelligence gathered by the Insect Swarm.

However, Qin Yu knew his limits and didn’t detail the information too much.

With the Insect Swarm’s terrifying infiltration and lurking capabilities, from the moment they discovered the Blood Demon Sect, there were no secrets left before Qin Yu. Not to mention their numbers or strength, even what they ate daily and what underwear they wore were crystal clear.

This was also why Qin Yu hadn’t worried about the Blood Demon Sect at all since arriving in Bishui City. This was his home turf; everything was under his surveillance, so naturally, there was nothing to worry about.

But Qin Yu wasn’t foolish enough to expose the Insect Swarm’s intelligence network. He merely gave a vague overview of the Blood Demon Sect’s strength.

Even so, this caused Situ Ming’s expression to change repeatedly, leaving him inwardly shocked.

When Qin Yu and Qin Wenyuan walked out of the Demon Suppression Bureau’s main gates, Situ Ming’s gaze turned exceedingly profound.

”These noble families truly permeate everywhere! To think their control over Bishui City has reached such a degree. How many families and businesses in Bishui City do you think belong to the Qin family?

”The Qin Family Hidden Lineage?

”The Qin family’s hidden strength is far deeper than we imagined!”

Zhao Zhenshan, following behind Situ Ming, also wore an extremely solemn expression. Ever since Zhang Shun first entered the mountains to slay the Tiger Demon and Cyan Peak County’s Qin family entered the Demon Suppression Bureau’s sights, their intelligence on the Qin family had been wrong the entire time.

”Fortunately, the Qin family is willing to take the initiative to be on good terms with us. This is also good news. Make sure to maintain this relationship well in the future. However, the Qin family has also exposed themselves to the Zhang family this time; it will be difficult for them to hide from now on.”

”Understood!” Zhao Zhenshan said respectfully.

Situ Ming said no more. He turned and headed to one of the secret rooms to contact the Demon Suppression General, Chen Jianqiu, who was thousands of miles away.

He reported everything in exhaustive detail, including the intelligence on the Qin family.

However, in his retelling, this became the secret maneuvering of the Commandery City’s Zong Family. The identity of Cyan Peak County’s hidden lineage was thoroughly cemented, and Qin Yu’s disguised identity became a genius secretly cultivated by the Qin family.

Without knowing of the Insect Swarm’s existence, this was the only logical conclusion.

And this was exactly what Qin Yu wanted to see.

Over the next three days, Bishui City seemed to turn into a massive vortex.

The sky was no longer peaceful as various flowing lights tore through the firmament.

The Cyan Profound Sect’s Cyan Jade Ship possessed a natural Dao resonance.

The martial artists of the Golden Sword Sect arrived riding a golden sword rainbow tens of meters long, their sharp edges fully exposed.

The Pai Sect’s methods were also quite marvelous. It was actually a giant aquatic ship. Although it sailed on water, its speed was in no way inferior to the flying ships in the sky.

Through the underwater Insect Swarm reconnaissance units he had scattered early on, Qin Yu saw that this giant ship could even submerge and advance using the Water Escape Technique, moving even faster than it did on the surface.

The other two of the four great noble families of the County City, the Lin family and the Su family, also gathered their experts.

Among the four great noble families, the Su family was the only one skilled in Gu Refining and Beast Taming. Rumor had it that when the Five Poison Sect fell apart, the Su family obtained the inheritance of the Celestial Spider Lineage.

When they appeared, they were riding a Five-Colored Demon Spider that was fully five to six zhang in size. Its imposing aura was not the slightest bit weaker than the Seven-Colored Spirit Deer.

When a behemoth falls, it nourishes all life.

In a place like Yunlong County, cultivation techniques like those of the Five Poison Sect were indeed very fitting.

Hundreds of factions possessing Qi Sea Realm experts, and even noble families from neighboring counties and prefectures, filed in. Each faction pulled out all the stops, showcasing their own unique divine techniques.

Whether it was Heaven-Soaring Flying Ships or ferocious exotic beasts, the sights left Qin Yu in constant amazement. He wasn’t shocked; rather, he had his eyes on the exotic beasts these noble families were riding.

However, with so many factions arriving, Qin Yu could only secretly order the entire Insect Swarm to lay low. Hundreds of Qi Sea Realm experts had gathered!

Such a grand occasion had never occurred in a remote little city like Bishui City. With so many factions arriving, chaos was almost inevitable!

Whether it was due to preexisting grudges or lone wolves with unclean hands, daytime was still manageable. But once night fell, the sounds of slaughter and clashes were endless. This was despite the Demon Suppression Bureau assigning patrols and even the Evil Suppression Bureau Army being mobilized.

In a single night, dozens of corpses were dragged away, and the atmosphere in the city grew tense to the extreme!

Ordinary people completely dared not venture out casually, and even the local families of Bishui City kept their doors tightly shut. They had no choice; they couldn’t afford to offend any of these newcomers!

Even within the Treasure Pavilion, a massive explosion rang out. Clearly, someone didn’t plan on waiting for the auction to begin and wanted to strike first.

BOOM!

Inside the Qin Residence, Qin Yu, Qin Hu, Qin Wenyuan, and the others looked toward the Treasure Pavilion. A terrifying pressure spread outward, making even Qin Yu’s heart sink.

”Brother Chen, some friends in the city don’t seem to be following the rules! I’ll have to trouble the Demon Suppression Bureau to clean up the mess. These few restless rats will be handed over to your esteemed bureau for disposal.”

A middle-aged man’s voice, sounding quite amiable and even carrying a hint of affluence, rang out, clearly transmitting into the ears of all martial artists in the city.

Above the Treasure Pavilion, a middle-aged man dressed in a plain white robe, wearing a genial smile and looking much like a merchant, stood in the void.

With just a casual wave of his sleeve, seven black-clad, masked martial artists, bound by an invisible force, were thrown in front of the Demon Suppression Bureau’s gates like limp ragdolls. Each of them had a sluggish aura; clearly, their martial arts had already been crippled.

”It’s no trouble!”

A cold voice responded from within the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Immediately after, a figure clad in profound black General Armor, exuding an aura like ten-thousand-year-old ice, shot into the sky!

He didn’t intentionally release his imposing presence, but the fierce sword intent naturally radiating from him enveloped the city like harsh frost, instantly freezing all clamor and restlessness!

”Primordial Mansion Realm!”

Qin Yu looked at the two figures suspended in the sky, his heart sinking slightly.

Just their auras alone were enough to silence hundreds of Qi Sea Realm experts!

How many Insect Race units would it take to swarm and kill such powerful existences? Would ten thousand Qi and Blood Realm Thunder Rocs and Four-winged Black Thorn Eagles be enough? Qin Yu quickly calculated in his heart. With the Insect Swarm’s flight speed, it wouldn’t take long for them to rush over from the depths of the Wilderness Mountain Range.

”It’s the Treasure Pavilion’s Primordial Mansion Realm cultivator, Wan Yongchang. As expected, he had already secretly slipped in,” Qin Wenyuan’s voice sounded beside Qin Yu’s ear, carrying a trace of awe. ”This person looks amiable, but his methods are actually unfathomable. Normally, he presides over the County City. To think he is the one hosting this auction!

”Although the Treasure Pavilion usually keeps a low profile, its strength is extremely terrifying. Even an Evil Demon Sect like the Blood Demon Sect wouldn’t dare offend them easily.

”As for the other person, it’s one of Yunlong County’s three Demon Suppression Generals, Chen Jianqiu!”

Qin Yu nodded slightly, his eyes locked dead on the two figures in the sky. Through the ’eyes’ of the Insect Swarm, he had actually seen this Treasure Pavilion Primordial Mansion Realm cultivator, Wan Yongchang.

He had arrived two days ago, but because his aura had been concealed, the Insect Swarm hadn’t noticed anything abnormal. As for this Demon Suppression Bureau general, he had only arrived recently.

With the Insect Swarm’s eyes and ears throughout this city, it was simply impossible for anything to be hidden from his sight.

”Will our Qin family’s ancestor be coming?”

Qin Yu looked at Qin Wenyuan with some curiosity in his expression. With such a massive lineup, relying on one or two Qi Sea Realm experts to obtain that Inheritance Key would not be an easy task. Anyone who wasn’t foolish could guess that the auction was only the first step. How to protect the Inheritance Key was the true crux of the matter! Once the item was obtained and taken out of the city, a battle royale would likely be unavoidable.

”The ancestor? I’m not sure either. The ancestor’s lifespan is nearing its end, so he won’t make a move easily. Otherwise...” A fierce glint flashed through Qin Wenyuan’s eyes.

The ancestor wouldn’t strike easily, but if he did, it would definitely be earth-shattering!

Although the Zhang family had provoked them time and time again, their ancestor had actually gone into hiding, afraid to show his face. Clearly, he was terrified that the Celestial Wind Ancestor would take him down with him before passing away.

”I see.”

Qin Yu nodded silently. If that were the case, the Qin family ancestor’s whereabouts would definitely remain unknown. Only by hiding in the shadows could he pose the greatest threat.

When is a fierce beast at its most dangerous? Not when it is hungry, but when it is injured and on the verge of death! No one wanted to endure that crazed counterattack.

It was just a pity that there was no concept of Extreme Emperor Soldiers in this world. Otherwise, the Celestial Wind Ancestor would probably have marched right up to their doorstep and wiped out the Zhang family before his fall.

That night passed peacefully.

Early the next morning, as a much larger Thunder Pattern Flying Ship from the Zhang family descended with rolling thunder, the main gates of the Qin Residence also opened, welcoming a group of people inside.

Among the two elders walking at the very front, one had a solemn face and a profound aura. This was exactly the Qin family’s Fourth Elder, Qin Zhengyuan, who possessed a Late Stage Qi Sea Realm cultivation.

The other was an elder dressed in a simple cyan shirt, his hair casually pinned up with a wooden hairpin. His gaze was clear, and he held a compass in his hand. This was the Qin family’s Sixth Elder, the Array Master, Qin Mohe.

”Wenyuan, where is the person you spoke of?”

The Fourth Elder, Qin Zhengyuan, nodded slightly. His lightning-like gaze swept over the crowd, lingering on Qin Yu for a moment as a fleeting trace of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes.

The Sixth Elder, Qin Mohe, was even more direct. As soon as he stepped off the flying ship, his gaze was drawn to the outer perimeter of the Qin Residence. The area looked ordinary, but its qi dynamics were faintly linked into a cohesive whole.

An array!

A smile traced the corners of Qin Wenyuan’s mouth. While waiting over the past two days, Qin Yu hadn’t been idle either. Right in front of him, he had directed a group of subordinates to set up arrays within the residence. The high efficiency of the process had left even him speechless.

”Haha, you’ve arrived at the perfect time! This is the promising son of our Qin family!

”Come, come inside first! I will discuss the details with you in depth!”
