#76 - Chapter 76: King Zhou's Tomb, Chaoge City of Death

"Ming Ku, you are, after all, the dignified Sect Leader of the Myriad Demons Sect. Bullying a junior is truly beneath your status."

"Why don't you try your hand with this old man!"

The old man holding a wooden sword stood in mid-air. He looked like an ordinary farmer, dressed in coarse linen clothes. The sword in his hand was also an ordinary wooden sword, like a toy carved from wood for ordinary children.

But for some reason, he exuded an aura of the sword from head to toe, utterly profound!

Seeing the old man with the wooden sword appear, the Myriad Demons Sect Leader, who was about to kill Lin Changqing with a palm strike, was shocked: "Sword Palace, why are you here?"

"If you can be here, why can't I?" As he spoke, the old man with the wooden sword thrust out a sword.

【It turns out that the old man with the wooden sword is an elder of the Sword Palace, the number one expert of the righteous path in Qingzhou. He actually came here, and it seems his purpose is to rescue you.】

【The Sword Palace Elder is indeed the number one expert of the righteous path in Qingzhou. He forced the Myriad Demons Sect Leader to retreat after only a hundred moves.】

"Sword Palace, fifteen years ago, you were seriously injured by Qiu Yue, almost to the point of death. Now, you're taking action for a Lin Changqing?"

"I'd like to see, when Qiu Yue arrives later, how long you can survive!" The Myriad Demons Sect Leader, who was fleeing into the distant sky, uttered a resentful and hateful voice. In the battle just now, he was directly cut and seriously injured by the Sword Palace Elder.

【Even though they are both at the tenth level of the Core Formation stage, there is still a difference. The Sword Palace Elder is the number one expert of the righteous path in Qingzhou. Even before Qiu Yue appeared, the Sword Palace Elder was vaguely known as the number one expert in Qingzhou.】

【His life is extremely legendary. He only established his foundation at the age of eighty and formed his core at the age of one hundred and sixty. He can be said to be a late bloomer, and he has also been supporting the righteous path all along.】

【The reason why Qiu Yue took the lead in initiating the war between the demonic path ten years ago was also because the Sword Palace Elder was defeated by Qiu Yue fifteen years ago.】

【The Sword Palace Elder came to rescue you, you are very surprised. You have no intersection with him, and you step forward to thank him.】

【The Sword Palace Elder tells you that you don't need to thank him.】

"Lin Changqing, you don't need to thank me. It is right for me to save you. Our righteous path has produced a genius like you. If I don't save you and let you be killed by the demonic path, then I would be foolish!" The Sword Palace Elder stroked his beard, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Lin Changqing.

He never thought that the righteous path would produce such an unparalleled genius like Lin Changqing.

Originally, after being defeated by Qiu Yue fifteen years ago, and with the righteous path retreating steadily in the past ten years, he was somewhat disheartened.

But the appearance of Lin Changqing made him feel that the righteous path might not necessarily lose this game in Qingzhou!

【The Sword Palace Elder said that it was right for him to save you. In addition, he also told you to escape quickly.】

"Lin Changqing, Qiu Yue will be here soon. You should leave quickly and go from the vast desert to the Central Continent. If you stay in Qingzhou, the demonic path is powerful, and I can't protect you for a lifetime."

"But if I guard the Border Sand City and stop Qiu Yue, I can buy you three days to escape. This old bone of mine can still do that."

"Senior, then you..."

"Don't worry about me. At most, this old bone of mine will be seriously injured again. Qiu Yue can't kill me that easily. You should escape quickly."

【Hearing the words of the Sword Palace Elder, you are not pretentious. You once again heavily express your gratitude to the Sword Palace Elder, and then you leave for the vast desert.】

【Before leaving, the Sword Palace Elder told you that when you arrive in the Central Continent, if you want to quickly improve your cultivation, you must find an opportunity to become a guest elder under those princes and princesses. Only in this way will you have the opportunity to access the top secret realms and spiritual vein resources of the Central Continent.】

【You keep these words in your heart, and then enter the vast desert, flying rapidly towards the Central Continent.】

【From the vast desert to the Central Continent, it will take you about ten hours at your speed.】

【The Sword Palace Elder said that he would risk his life to stop Qiu Yue for you, giving you three days.】

【Three days is enough for you to cross the vast desert and penetrate deep into the Central Continent.】

Lin Changqing flew in the vast desert where he could not see the edge at a glance. The sky was full of yellow sand, and desert monsters appeared from time to time.

"I wonder if Senior Sword Palace has already fought with Qiu Yue?" Lin Changqing looked back, and the Border Sand City behind him had turned into a small black dot.

【You continue to fly in the vast desert. After four hours, you have traveled half the distance of the vast desert and are getting closer and closer to the Central Continent.】

【At this moment, a blood-colored palace-dressed woman with monstrous demonic might arrived at the Border Sand City.】

【Qiu Yue has finally arrived.】

"Sword Palace, are you really not afraid of death and insist on stopping me?"

"There's no point in saying more, kill!" The Sword Palace Elder took the lead and attacked with his wooden sword. Qiu Yue also revealed a murderous intent, and the Blood Demon Great Handprint was directly slapped out from her hand.

In this way, the two strongest people in Qingzhou fought together!

【After two days, the Sword Palace Elder had already shown signs of defeat. There was no way, Qiu Yue was too strong. A six-pattern golden core, perhaps only Lin Changqing's nine-pattern golden core in the same realm could defeat her!】

"Sword Palace, you have been defeated, what else is there to say?"

"What if I am defeated? I have already stopped you for two days. By now, Changqing has probably already escaped to the Central Continent." The Sword Palace Elder laughed loudly.

"I will risk this old life to stop you for another day." As he spoke, the Sword Palace Elder, covered in blood, attacked again.

【After another day, the Sword Palace Elder was beaten into a terrible state. He was unable to stop Qiu Yue any longer, but he did stop Qiu Yue for three days, buying Lin Changqing three days to escape.】

"Sword Palace, do you think that if I am stopped for three days, that Lin Changqing will be able to save his life?"

"Do you really think that the current Lin Changqing has already escaped from the vast desert?" Qiu Yue said indifferently, and then took out a black token from her storage bag. A black mysterious bird was engraved on the token!

Seeing this black mysterious bird token, the Sword Palace Elder's expression changed drastically: "The Mysterious Bird descends from the heavens, descending to give birth to the Shang Dynasty, how could you possess this token?"

Qiu Yue laughed loudly: "I told you long ago, this is the will of heaven, that my Qingzhou demonic path is destined to prosper."

"What's wrong with me possessing the Mysterious Bird Token?"

"Tell me, with the Mysterious Bird Token in hand, how can Lin Changqing escape from the vast desert?"

...

Time shifted back to three days ago, when Qiu Yue landed in Border Sand City.

【At this moment, you have been flying in the vast desert for four hours, you continue to fly forward.】

【After another hour, you suddenly fell from the sky. The sky was full of yellow sand swept over you, and you saw a vast and incomparable dead city shrouded you, which seemed like a kingdom of the dead.】

【You were shocked, why did a dead city suddenly appear in this place? In addition, you saw a line of words engraved on a large stone tablet in front of the dead city.】

"The Mysterious Bird descends from the heavens, descending to give birth to the Shang Dynasty, the capital of the Great Shang, Chaoge!"

【Seeing these lines of words, you were shocked. The dead city that fell from the sky was actually Chaoge, the capital of the Great Shang? You suddenly thought of a legend in the Qingzhou cultivation world about the vast desert.】

"Legend has it that after the last emperor of the ancient times, Emperor Xin, died, Chaoge, the capital of the Great Shang, was used as a tomb and buried by the people left behind by the Great Shang."

"Some people say that they have seen the dead city of Chaoge in the vast desert. I didn't expect the rumors to be true!"

【Your heart is very uneasy. You didn't expect that the dead city of Chaoge would appear when you were about to escape to the Central Continent!】

【After a while, the gate of the dead city of Chaoge suddenly opened, and an invisible suction force pulled you. You felt a darkness in front of your eyes and were pulled into the dead city of Chaoge.】

【When you woke up again, you came to the dead city of Chaoge, and you saw...】
