Chapter 569: Chapter 363 West State Spirit Mountain, Sneak In, Sudden Kill_2

The Buddha statue’s head alone stood over thirty feet tall, truly majestic and unparalleled.

Gazing upon the giant Buddha statue, which was already more than half-complete, Lu Qing felt a stir in his heart and, together with Little Li, quietly approached.

Before long, they reached the base of the hundred-zhang cliff and also saw several bald monks in red kasayas, chubby and earlobed, standing before the sheer rock face.

Feeling the aura emanating from these monks, Lu Qing’s heart tensed.

The Qi-blood of these bald monks was extraordinarily robust, with the weakest among them in the early stages of the Innate Realm.

One of the red-robed monks, who seemed to be the leader, had a harmonious aura blending seamlessly with his environment.

He was indeed a master of Innate Perfection.

This was the first time Lu Qing had encountered an expert of Innate Perfection.

The Third Saint he met in Central State Holy City didn’t count.

That Saint had used a Puppet Dharma Body, which, although powerful, was still quite different from a true master of Innate Perfection.

Moreover, Lu Qing also faintly sensed another special aura on the body of the leading red-robed monk, indicating that apart from his Martial Arts cultivation at Innate Perfection, he also practiced other Cultivation Techniques.

Lu Qing immediately activated his Superpower, observing him closely.

After several breaths, a rich golden Superpower Light emerged from the leading red-robed monk.

Simultaneously, several lines of text floated into view.

[Xuanming: Great Elder of Suspended Mountain.]

[Cultivation: Dual cultivation of body and movement technique, Perfect Innate Realm.]

[Possesses Buddhist Exotic Treasure, formidable in both offense and defense.]

…

Lu Qing then turned his gaze to the other several bald monks, unsurprisingly, all of them being elders from Suspended Mountain.

This was not unexpected to him.

According to “Yan,” although the powers of the Four Great Secret Places had hidden within secret realms and continued their legacy for tens of thousands of years, in the end, they were merely clinging to survival.

Even if it was a secret realm, it could not completely block the permeation of the main world’s rules.

Consequently, it was impossible for the secret realm to spawn excessively powerful beings.

At most, they could achieve Perfect Foundation Establishment.

It was impossible for them to reach the Golden Core Realm.

Because to condense a Golden Core after the Foundation Establishment Stage, one had to endure the cleansing of a Heavenly Tribulation, surviving the forty-nine Heavenly Tribulations was required.

This was an undeniable law of cultivation, no cultivator could defy it.

And since the secret realms were incapable of gathering Heavenly Tribulation, the emergence of a Golden Core Realm existence was impossible.

It was also because of this understanding of cultivation secrets that Lu Qing dared to come to West State alone, seeking trouble with Suspended Mountain.

Armed with a Spiritual Artifact, he had the confidence that even if he could not defeat a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he could still retreat unscathed.

“Great Elder, Zen Heart has sent news that the Iron Sword Sect in the south is also willing to submit and acknowledge our Suspended Mountain as their leader,” a bald monk said just as Lu Qing had finished probing with his Superpower.

“Good, with the submission of the Iron Sword Sect, West State can be considered to have completely returned to the control of our Suspended Mountain,” Xuanming nodded in satisfaction.

“Hmph! If not for the times when Spiritual Energy was depleted, making the cost of opening a secret realm too great and our ingress and egress inconvenient,

how could West State become so mired in filth by these wretched things!

Now, having them convert to our Buddhist ways is their good fortune!” another red-robed monk snorted coldly.

“Elder Brother, don’t be vexed. Precisely because the people of this world are obstinate, they need our Buddha’s guidance. For us, this too is a form of cultivation,” Xuanming consoled.

“Elder Brother Xuanming, now that West State has returned under the banner of our Buddhist sect, how shall we proceed with the other matter mentioned by the abbot?”

“Do you mean the Evil Demon who killed Elder Brother Xuanming and the others?” Lu Qing’s heart stirred when he heard them mention himself.

“Exactly, Elder Brother Xuanming, do you think the information that Wujian Building gathered a few days ago is credible?” a red-robed monk asked.

“Wujian Building wouldn’t dare to deceive us. They depend on our Suspended Mountain’s benevolence to continue their lineage.

Even if they had a hundred times the courage, they wouldn’t dare harbor ulterior motives.

Moreover, when the Wujian Building Master came to report that day, my ‘Hui Xin’ didn’t detect any dishonesty,” Xuanming mused for a moment before replying.

“Does that mean, what Wujian Building discovered about the hidden cultivation place of that Evil Demon is true?”

“It should be close.”

“I never imagined that the Evil Demon would originate from a remote and insignificant place like Cang State. Such a backwater, indeed, is a breeding ground for demons!

Xuanming, the Supreme Elder and the others have ordered us to capture that demon and convert him to our cause. When do we set out?”

“There’s no rush with this matter. That demon is a person endowed with great fate, having even survived the Heavenly Tribulation.

His strength could very well be on par with ours.

To capture him alive, we must make a long-term plan and consider all our options carefully.

We’ll wait until the construction of the Spirit Mountain is complete and the Mountain Protection Array is established, then we will slowly proceed.”

Xuanming spoke slowly.

Lu Qing, who was hiding nearby, immediately realized what was happening upon hearing this.

The assassin from the Wujian Building who had escaped under his master’s Flying Sword at Wei Mansion had safely returned to the Suspended Mountain Secret Realm.

He had reported all the information he had gathered back to Suspended Mountain.

Lu Qing felt somewhat fortunate that he had come here in advance.

Otherwise, once Suspended Mountain really stabilized the situation in West State and set up the protective arrays, sneaking in would become nearly impossible.

By then, he would have no choice but to withstand their assaults.

After all, he could leave at any time, but the villagers of Jiuli Village and the Wei Family would suffer.

Thinking of this, a surge of killing intent suddenly rose within Lu Qing.

From the conversation of the people just now, he could tell.

There were indeed powerful experts hidden in the secret realm of Suspended Mountain.

Those referred to as the Tower Master and the Supreme Elder must be powerful cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage.

However, at this moment, in the Lingshan Mountain Range, the most powerful should be the several red-clothed monks in front of him.

Especially Xuanming, who was addressed as the Great Elder, must be the leader of Suspended Mountain’s emergence into the world this time.

If he could kill him, it would surely throw Suspended Mountain into chaos for a while.

With killing intent pervading his heart, Lu Qing’s gaze became even colder.

He first transmitted a few commands to Little Li through his Divine Soul.

Then, he quietly took out his War Saber from the Qiankun Qi Bag.

His figure moved soundlessly, closing in on the red-clothed monks.

Just as Lu Qing was about ten yards away from them, he saw Xuanming’s face suddenly change, looking in his direction with shock and suspicion.

With a thought, Lu Qing understood that his presence had been revealed.

His mind raced, and without a second thought, he unleashed a fierce and peerless momentum, bringing a bright flash of Sword Light to life from his body, sweeping towards the men in front of him!

“Who’s there!”

The red-clothed monks were Innate Level experts.

They sensed Lu Qing’s bursting momentum almost immediately.

All of them were greatly shocked.

Never had they anticipated that someone could approach so close to them undetected!

But what shocked them even more was the Sword Light that Lu Qing had unleashed.

It was extremely concentrated and of unparalleled force. Just feeling it for a moment caused all the monks’ hair to stand on end, their scalps to tingle, as a bone-chilling coldness rose from the bottom of their hearts.

“Dodge quickly!”

In the blink of an eye, every monk reacted in their own way.

Some tried to use their movement techniques to evade the Sword Light.

Some had light emerge around their bodies, intending to use their hard-earned Protective Gang Qi to block the Sword Light.

Others produced short staves they carried with them, confronting the Sword Light head-on.

But it was Xuanming, the most highly cultivated among them, who, sensing the Sword Light for a split second, had his face dramatically change and bellowed for everyone to get out of the way.

However, it was too late.

The Sword Light that Lu Qing had been preparing erupted with incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, it had reached the monks in front of him.

Then, it swept across their bodies and flew towards the cliff behind them.

Finally, it slashed a deep, bottomless cut into the cliffside before coming to a stop.

Boom!

Alongside the thundering noise of the Sword Qi cutting into the cliff, several jets of fresh blood were also sent flying.
