Chapter 110: Knowing

  Blackstone City has been quite restless lately.

  Two warriors who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Tian Lang and Long Ao Tian, openly confronted the Hunting Alliance, launching multiple attacks, leaving the entire Hunting Alliance at a loss.

  The Hunting Alliance branch, although it is under the suppression of the two great powers and the mysterious door, the power that has infiltrated the country is quite weak. However, behind it is still a powerful alliance with the largest number of warriors.

  In this symbolic sense, two people who are said to be only in the spiritual realm have done most of what medium and small sects dare not do, which is itself a very eye-catching thing.

  These two people have long been noticed by many major and minor forces. Some think they are bold enough, while others believe that they are just a couple of young and inexperienced newcomers who will not last for a few days.

  The result was that these two lunatics actually put on a show for quite some time. The one named Long Ao Tian kept appearing and disappearing under the noses of the Hunting Alliance, causing them to be in an uproar, and within two months, they didn't even catch a glimpse of him, while many people in the Hunting Alliance were fleeced and got to enjoy several free shows.

  That Tian Lang, was even more tyrannical. It's said that even the two most favored subordinates of the Alliance leader, extremely rare dual-system cultivators, were defeated by him. Although no one has seen their corpses with their own eyes yet, the incident where the Alliance leader smashed several tea cups on that day had been exaggerated and spread around.

  Many low-ranking warriors who have been wronged by the Blackstone Guild's branch in this city, with grievances and nowhere to vent, secretly praise these two people, giving them a big thumbs up.

  Some with big guts, relying on the power of the mountain, even openly set up a betting pool, betting that these two people will fall into the net within a few months...

  As a result, when these shocking things were still quietly spreading among many people, an even more shocking message appeared: Long Ao Tian was caught and would be publicly executed in front of everyone in Blackstone City...

  It was as if a thunderbolt had exploded on the surface of the water, and the ripples quickly spread throughout the entire Blackstone City. In fact, some warriors did nothing but wait for that day to arrive, and these people were not in the minority...

  …………

  As for these things, Qin Hao was naturally completely unaware of them.

  After five days in the cave, Qin Hao's injuries had barely healed. The cost was that the Reiki Array on his body had been completely consumed; the Flame Gathering Array cultivated in the Hidden Mystic Gate had been used up all at once. There were still many mysterious crystals on his body, but without spiritual medicine, he could only refine some attack and defense types. If he wanted to refine auxiliary types, he would have to find time to collect herbs.

  To sum it up, Qin Hao suffered a heavy loss this time. Advancing to the fourth level of Ling Xuan can only barely compensate for some of it.

  Qin Hao couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. Even now, whenever he thought of that silver-haired little girl, his heart would still be filled with astonishment and doubt.

  That little girl, no more than ten years old, has achieved a state of cultivation that is truly remarkable. Not to mention now, but even in his past life when he traveled through dozens of countries and reached the Tian Xuan boundary, he had never seen such terrifying strength anywhere. That little girl is a true genius.

  What kind of cultivation can foster such a genius? And what kind of sect or family will be behind her back?

  At least, in Fengqi Sect, it is absolutely impossible for a ten-year-old to have cultivation at the ninth level of Lingxuan or above.

  This world has never lacked strong people and geniuses. Many have already walked ahead of him on the path of martial arts.

  Thinking of this, Qin Hao's heart was not afraid, nor was it disheartened, but instead a surge of unstoppable fervor. No matter how many people were in front of him, his forward steps would not stop for a moment.

  These are not pressures, but the driving force for him to move forward.

  Qin Hao shook his head and smiled, unfolding the map of Wan Shou Valley. He didn't have much time to dwell on trivial matters. In a month's time, it would be the Feng Bo Sect's entrance examination, Chu Shaobai, Lin Yu, and the master behind Lin Yu - all these people might stand in his way.

  At that time, the only thing he could rely on was his strength. With absolute strength, anyone who stood in front of him would be knocked down, and it was the only choice.

  Qin Hao's fingers moved on the map of Wan Shou Gu, continuously ruling out some places where high-level demon beasts appeared, and finally fixed on a small valley.

  There, the Fire Fox Flower grows. If he wants to refine the Second-Order Gathering Spirit Array, he must go there to collect it. According to the map, there are only a few low-level second-order demon beasts in that place, with strength equivalent to the Threefold Spiritual Realm, and they shouldn't pose an obstacle for him.

  Qin Hao put away the map and flashed out of the cave. As soon as he went out, he felt a dazzling light shining down on him.

  Qin Hao stretched his body, feeling the warmth of the sun and the freshness of the air in his nostrils. He took a long deep breath. Having stayed in the cave for five days without coming out, the feeling of basking in sunlight now made him feel like all the pores on his body were opening up.

  Qin Hao's body trembled slightly, as if transformed into a wisp of smoke drifting through the forest. His footsteps were light and fleeting, with an indescribable sense of ease and agility.

  After traveling for several hours, a sea of fiery red flowers appeared in the distance before his eyes. The skin on the outside was also somewhat oppressive with heat, and in this area, fire energy was unusually abundant.

  Qin Hao's eyes also had a few more eager glints.

  In the distance, layers of fire fox flowers stretch out to form an ocean. Occasionally, a few gusts of wind come, gently swaying the bright red blossoms, as if they were dancing flames, exceptionally brilliant.

  Qin Hao took another deep breath, his foot lightly tapping the ground, and his body sped up a few more degrees. Just as he was about to dive headfirst into the flower bushes, he suddenly caught a whiff of a faint scent of blood.

  Qin Hao's vigilance rose, and his eyes scanned around in an instant, discovering some clues. It turned out that under a cluster of flowers, there were bloodstains, and several heads of ferocious beasts appeared.

  He suddenly became cautious, his body turning at an angle in space, shooting to a strange rock below, and hiding behind the strange rock. Then, he gathered all his spiritual energy, concentrated his mind, pricked up his ears and quietly listened to the situation on the side of the flower sea.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, before long, a clear rustling sound came from the flower cluster, followed by the footsteps of several people emerging from the cluster.

  Qin Hao's head quietly stretched out half an inch, a pair of eyes coldly staring at that place, and in his hand, a long sword was condensed at this moment. After Xu Tong's two-person secret calculation, his vigilance had increased by three points now.

  Qin Hao's eyes swept across the three people in front of him, and because this giant stone was facing away from the sunlight and was covered by several large trees, these three naturally couldn't discover him.

  His hand on the Xuanqi long sword tightened a few points, and his work method also started to operate quietly at this time. If these three people were from Lie Meng, he could only take the lead.

  Three people each held a few fire fox flowers in their hands, and after they crawled out, they found a place to sit down. They were completely unaware that they were under the surveillance of a pair of eyes.

  "This foxglove flower is indeed difficult to collect, no wonder it's so expensive."

  "This is natural, otherwise there would be no need for us three to come out."

  "Lately, there have been too many people coming to buy 'Juien' arrays, and I had to rush out to collect them urgently."

  Inferno!

  These three people mentioned the Xuanxuan formation, and Qin Hao's heart suddenly moved. His gaze suddenly condensed, and when he looked again, the three people were wearing coarse linen robes, but on their chests was a uniform embroidery of a pattern with a symbol of a mysterious beast, the Xuanjing crystal floating in mid-air.

  People of the Mystic Gate!

  Qin Hao made a judgment in his heart, and the sword tip quietly returned, taking a deep breath secretly. Although the long sword was still not out of hand, his body had relaxed a bit. If it were people from the Hidden Mystery Gate, he and they should not have had a chance to fight.

  Besides, he didn't want to offend a sect with a full array of masters. Offending such a sect would have what consequences? A certain Tianxuan Wuzhe was the best counterexample!

  Of course, it's also possible that these three people are disciples of Lie Meng, disguising themselves and lurking around here. Qin Hao hasn't completely let down his guard.

  After listening for a while longer, the three of them were discussing things related to the Enclosed Mystical Formation, and most of the content was also about the Hidden Mystic Division. It wasn't until then that Qin Hao truly lowered his guard.

  He had made up his mind and was waiting for the three of them to leave before he went out again.

  ……

  "Why have there been so many people coming to buy anti-inflammatory medicine recently?"

  The three of them chatted and chatted, and eventually returned to the original question.

  "It's not like it was done by the Hunter's Guild. Tian Lang has so many bounties on his head, who wouldn't be tempted? I'm even getting a little jealous!"

  "Hum, are those people idiots? The Hunter's Alliance has already lost so many people, and yet there are still people who want to take this risk? Although the Flame Array can increase cultivation speed, it's not like it can be increased by much in a short period of time. And even if it is increased, what's the point? Does anyone really think they can provoke that fierce star?"

  When he heard the three mention their own news, Qin Hao's attention was concentrated again. He wanted to know what had happened with entering Blackstone City.

  "Fool? Not necessarily. The temptation is too great, and there will naturally be people who are willing to risk their lives. Even in our own Hidden Mysteries Sect, there are those who want to take action. If it weren't for the fact that our Eldest Miss happened to arrive at Blackstone City and issued an order forbidding anyone from getting involved in this matter, I'm afraid we would also have people going out to look for him. Our Eldest Miss is truly wise!"

  The three of them went on like this, turning their conversation into a eulogy for that young lady. One after another, they spoke with flying spittle, without stopping!

  Qin Hao listened to the three people's conversation that jumped back and forth between different topics, and couldn't help but feel a bit helpless. However, no matter what, he still felt some relief in his heart.

  According to what they said, he shouldn't have conflicts with people from the Xuanmen Sect. This is a good thing.

  "By the way, I heard Long Ao Tian was caught?"

  Qin Hao's heart skipped a beat, as if struck by lightning. Caught? That fatty wouldn't be so tragic, would he?! With the evil deeds he committed recently, stripping the Hunter Alliance disciples and hanging them up everywhere, his ending will definitely be miserable!

  He held his breath and concentrated his hearing even more.

  "What a pity, I won't be caught until several months after I've pressed him."

  "It's rare to have someone who can disgust those people, I didn't expect that five days later they would be executed directly."

  Qin Hao's expression was dazed. Whatever the three people behind him were saying, Qin Hao had already stopped paying attention. The news of his execution in five days was like a sudden clap of thunder exploding right next to his ear.

  A few people stood up, packed their things and walked out of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts while chatting about something. Their figures gradually disappeared into the distance... Qin Hao didn't even notice...
