Chapter 370: Chapter 259: The Rift from a Hundred Thousand Years Ago, Suppression of Rules, An Encounter_2

Because no one could bear the inexplicable pressure in the valley for too long.

If one stayed too long, they might indeed have problems with their heart and spirit.

Lu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief. Even with his strong heart and spirit, he had felt some pressure while in the valley.

It was unclear whether it was due to some dao rhyme left by the supreme Great Divine Power who split open the heavens with that crack or the innate oppressive feeling of the mountain range itself.

Anyway, even with his use of superpower, he was unable to discern anything.

“Is this Central State?”

Standing at the exit of the valley, Lu Qing and the others relaxed their emotions before looking ahead.

They found themselves halfway up a mountain range.

In the distance lay a vast expanse of land; beneath their feet, a bottomless abyss with clouds drifting and birds flying by.

The sight was truly refreshing and broadened one’s horizons.

“The spiritual energy here…”

Lu Qing sensed the air for a moment, his eyes widening slightly.

He discovered that the spiritual energy in the surrounding space was much richer than in the valley, and more than twice as concentrated as in Azure Dragon City.

However, while realizing the denser spiritual energy, he also noticed another problem.

That was, the range of his Divine Soul Sensing had been greatly suppressed.

Where he could once sense movements several miles away, now he could sense no more than half a mile at most.

“Is it due to interference from the richer spiritual energy, or is it a special suppression from Central State?”

Lu Qing was slightly shocked and began to ponder.

He knew that in the morning, the power of his Divine Soul had once again reached its limit, and the sensing range had increased significantly.

He didn’t expect that upon entering Central State, instead of being strengthened, he was actually being suppressed.

This wasn’t good news for him.

“No wonder it’s the center of the world, blessed by nature, and a place of exceptional spiritual beauty.”

The elder doctor also felt the change in the surrounding spiritual energy and couldn’t help but praise.

Standing there for just a short while, he felt a slight improvement in the spiritual power within his body.

“Master, do you feel it? Our Divine Soul Sensing ability seems to be greatly suppressed,” said Lu Qing.

“Indeed, as your master, I can now sense movements only within a hundred or so meters,” the elder doctor also discovered.

“It’s uncertain whether this suppression affects everyone or only us outsiders,” Lu Qing said with some anxiety.

“It should not be targeting us,” said the elder doctor after some thought. “I can feel that the Heaven and Earth Rules of Central State have evolved faster than those in the outer states. What suppresses us are Heaven and Earth Rules, not something else.”

“That’s good.”

Hearing this, Lu Qing’s mind eased up a bit.

Although his Divine Soul Power was strong, he hadn’t yet stepped into the Innate Realm, and his sensing of the Heaven and Earth Rules was not as clear as his master’s.

“Master, what is our plan? Shall we head straight for the Holy Mountain or do something else?” Lu Qing asked.

“Let’s go to the Holy Mountain first,” the elder doctor said. “After arriving here, I faintly feel that something in the distance is drawing me to it. Judging from its direction, it should be where the Holy Mountain is located.”

“Master, you feel it too?” Lu Qing was slightly startled.

Just now, he too had felt something in the far distance pulling at his heart and spirit.

A realization dawned on him; could it be that the great opportunity he had been sensing all along lay there.

“Master, let’s get in the carriage then. The region of Central State is vast, and according to the map given by Elder Xuan Jizi, the Holy Mountain is still far from here.”

“Alright.”

The elder doctor nodded.

They had already taken in the sights of Central State; it was time to hit the road.

The platform where Lu Qing and his companions were situated was halfway up the mountain, but to the left, there was a wide road leading down.

After boarding the carriage, Ma Gu cracked his whip, and the carriage began to move slowly.

However, Lu Qing still did not activate the carriage’s Array.

Central State was a place where dragons and tigers hid; the carriage’s Array was rather conspicuous. As they had just arrived, it was not wise to draw too much attention.

The carriage gradually sped up, heading down the mountain, but just as they were getting away, it suddenly jolted.

Along with Ma Gu’s cursing, the horses neighed, and the carriage came to an abrupt stop.

The sudden incident caused a chain reaction.

Caught off guard, Little Yan and Wei Zian were thrown forward.

At the critical moment, Lu Qing held onto Little Yan and reached out to steady Wei Zian, preventing them from crashing into the carriage.

As for Little Li and his master, both with exceptional abilities, didn’t need his help.

“Coachman, what has happened?”

Lu Qing, holding the still shaken Little Yan, called out.

However, before Ma Gu had a chance to reply, a voice came from up ahead.

“Little bitch, I’d like to see where you can run to now!”

“Uncle, save me!”

What’s going on?

After calming Little Yan, Lu Qing dismounted the carriage.

When he saw the situation outside clearly, he was stunned for a moment.

Before the carriage lay a young girl on the ground, her hair disheveled and her clothes in disarray.

Blood stained her leg, clearly indicating she was injured.

Further ahead stood three figures, wielding weapons and slowly advancing in this direction.

Such a scene obviously couldn’t scare Lu Qing.

The reason he was astonished was that he had seen these people before.

The girl was none other than Old Hu’s daughter, and as for those three figures, they were the friends whom Old Hu had entrusted to escort his daughter to the so-called Xuanxin Sect.

But now, it was evident that Old Hu had misplaced his trust.

Those three seemed intent on doing harm to the girl.

“Little bitch, hand over the goods, or else I’ll strip you naked, chop you into eight pieces, and throw you into this bottomless abyss to feed the wild wolves!” said the woman in red clothes coldly, a long whip in her hand.

“It would be such a pity to just strip her bare; a pretty little thing like her should let the two of us brothers have our fun first,” another one of the two men, a burly man in grey, said with a sinister laugh.

His companion, a skinny man, also showed a lecherous smile on his face: “Right, this little nymph is far too pretty to waste!”

They behaved as if no one else was around, seemingly not giving a second thought to Lu Qing and his company.

“I don’t care how you two play, but make sure the goods are intact,” the red-clothed woman said with disgust on her face.

“No, please don’t!”

As the girl saw the three approaching menacingly, her face showed sheer terror and she quickly crawled toward the carriage, once more pleading with Ma Gu.

“Uncle, please save me! These three villains want to kill me!”

“Ma Gu, what happened?” asked Lu Qing.

“Young Master, I was just driving the carriage when, at a turn, we almost collided with this young lady, so I had to bring the horses to a halt,” Ma Gu explained.

“Young Master…”

The girl saw Lu Qing, and hearing Ma Gu’s address, looked at him as if he were a lifeline, pleading with her eyes.

“Boy, do you really want to wade into these murky waters?”

The grey-clothed man, holding a guillotine-like broadsword, looked at Lu Qing with interest.

He recognized Lu Qing and Ma Gu, having crossed paths with them earlier on a bridge.

If he remembered correctly, at that time, Lu Qing and his companions were all either elderly, weak, or sickly, including both old folks and children.

Except for the coachman who had some ability, the others were no match for anything.

The other woman in red and the slim man also watched coldly from the sidelines.

Lu Qing didn’t respond, instead looking over to the young girl, when suddenly a strange glint flashed in his eyes.

He asked, “What is your relation to Old Hu?”

The girl was taken aback at first, but then joy shone in her eyes: “He’s my father, my father. Young Master, do you know my father?”

“I’ve met him once,” Lu Qing said calmly, “But aren’t these people supposed to be your father’s friends? Why are they trying to harm you?”

“It’s because… watch out!”

The girl hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly, a strong gust attacked them, and the grey-clothed man had already appeared in front of Lu Qing.

With a sinister smile, he said, “Ignorant fool, let me tell you the reason!”

He raised the broadsword high and violently slashed towards Lu Qing.

The force was so fearsome that the girl couldn’t help but close her eyes, unwilling to witness Lu Qing being cleaved in half.

Indeed, the next moment, a scream sounded, and the girl trembled all over, fearing Lu Qing had already been split to death.

But quickly, she realized something was wrong, because the scream didn’t seem to come from Lu Qing.

She hurriedly opened her eyes, and then her own eyes widened in shock.

Because she saw that Lu Qing, whom she had thought would be cut in half, was standing in his place, completely unharmed.

Instead, it was the grey-clothed man who was now lying on the ground, shrieking in pain.

Not only had the broadsword fallen from his hand, but his limbs were twisted at strange angles, and he was unable to move.

What had just happened?

On the pretty face of the girl, confusion was evident.
