Chapter 52 Nine Tribulations Black Turtle
late at night.
The earthquake shook Songshan County.
Squads of armored soldiers roamed the streets and alleys of the inner and outer city.
It seems to be searching for something.
Inside the Qin residence.
Qin Jiu burned the black outfit, washed his body, and returned to his room to activate the Illumination Technique, quietly watching everything that was happening in the city.
About 15 minutes have passed.
A figure rushed in to report.
"Report to the master of the family."
"For some unknown reason, the Divine Fist Sect's Divine Guard is currently conducting a large-scale search within the city."
"They had a troop of men parked in front of the Qin residence..."
"Go and report to those two from the Xuanxiao Sect."
Qin Jiu said calmly, "The Qin residence is now considered half a base of the Xuanxiao Sect. If they agree to let those people in to search, then let them in. If they don't agree, then ask them to leave."
......
The next day.
Zheng Dahai returned to the city.
He walked into the Qin residence with a look of surprise on his face.
"What happened?"
"How could an inner disciple of the Divine Fist Sect have died? That old scoundrel even claimed it was related to our Xuanxiao Sect?"
"Reporting to the Elder."
Inside the living room.
Qi Yuan bowed respectfully and then recounted everything that had happened the previous day.
"joke."
"You think you can slander me based on just a little friction?"
Zheng Dahai sneered: "Before I came back, I went to see the corpses in that courtyard. They were all killed with a single punch, including an inner disciple. If you had such skills, I would be laughing in my dreams."
"No wonder that old scoundrel only grumbled a few words."
"In the past, that old man would probably have gotten furious with me by now."
Qi Yuan heard this.
An embarrassed look involuntarily appeared on his face.
Thinking of last night's patrol, he spoke with some unease, "The Divine Fist Sect's Divine Guard seems to be focusing their investigation on the Qin residence. If we don't clarify this, will..."
"There's no need to worry about that side yet."
Zheng Dahai pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed, a lot of people have come to this city recently, a mixed bag, including members of the White Bone Cult and other cults. You need to be more careful in your actions lately, lest you follow in their footsteps."
"After all, I can't stay here forever."
"And the person who did it..."
"They clearly don't care about sect affiliation, and I wonder what their background is."
Qin Jiu followed behind Qi Yuan and the other two.
Upon hearing these words...
A strange look flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.
"Elder Zheng went out to investigate this time."
"What information can we get?"
At this time.
Xu Jinghua, who had always been taciturn, finally spoke up with a question.
Zheng Dahai nodded slightly.
He glanced at them, his gaze lingering briefly on Qin Jiu before he pondered, "What I see has both good and bad aspects. That place is indeed, as I predicted, nurturing a great treasure of immeasurable value."
"That thing can at least help one condense third-grade true qi."
"Top three rank?!"
Qi Yuan and Xu Jinghua were immediately horrified.
Zheng Dahai nodded, then sighed, "But although the treasure is good, it needs to be nourished by human blood. This is nurtured by the evil magic of the White Bone Sect, and there is also the shadow of the Wei army behind it. Those demons are gathered in Songshan because of this."
"The most critical thing is..."
"It will take at least another year before this item is produced."
"During this period, the blood essence must not be interrupted, and the demonic turbidity must not be absent. It is conceivable that this county town will soon become a real meat grinder."
"Jinghua, you still have time to consider."
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Jinghua and said, "If you really stay here to guard this place, with your current martial arts level, you may be in danger at any time. Even I, and my close disciples, may not be able to get away with it here."
"This disciple has already made up my mind."
"Elder, there's no need to persuade me any further."
......
Two more days passed.
This day.
Qin Jiu was practicing martial arts in the east wing.
Qin Xuanzhou hurriedly brought a message.
"The Xuanxiao Sect's Divine Guard has entered the city?!"
His eyes lit up.
He immediately changed his clothes and left the east wing.
Meanwhile, inside the hall...
Zheng Dahai and the other two seemed to be waiting for Qin Jiu. When they saw him come in, they greeted him and then left the Qin residence together.
It took less than 15 minutes.
Qin Jiu then arrived at the south gate of the outer city.
At a glance, he spotted the Divine Guard Army belonging to the Xuanxiao Sect.
It was an army clad in dark silver armor, wielding weapons and spears, all with grim expressions as they marched forward in formation. The army exuded a chilling aura as they moved.
At the forefront of the army.
Three imposing figures, each wielding a large black iron banner, stood tall and imposing.
Behind the army were a group of ordinary figures.
Men, women, young and old.
Their clothing varied.
Among them were several martial artists at the third level of cultivation, who followed the army with their families, their faces beaming with smiles.
Behind them were rows of horse-drawn carts carrying supplies...
"What is that?"
suddenly.
Qin Jiu's gaze sharpened as he looked at the center of the convoy, where three creatures resembling water buffaloes were pulling a cart. On the cart was a giant tortoise, about the size of a small house, which was firmly chained to the deck and occasionally let out a dry howl.
"Its head is covered in scales, it has whiskers growing from the back of its head, its mouth is like a beak, its voice is like a dragon, it has six legs and three tails..."
"That's a damn Nine Tribulations Mystic Turtle."
"Oh my god, where did these brats from the Xuanxiao Sect come from? Heaven has no eyes, heaven has no eyes!"
Zheng Dahai and the others hadn't spoken yet.
A heartbroken voice suddenly rang out.
Qin Jiu turned his head to look.
Then they saw the old man from the Divine Fist Sect, who was tugging at his white beard and slapping his thigh repeatedly.
"Nine Tribulations Mystic Turtle?"
Qin Jiu swallowed quietly.
He was so weak he could barely walk.
Although I don't know what it is, just hearing its name tells me it's something extraordinary. If only I could stab it...
"Old man."
At this time.
When Zheng Dahai saw the person who had arrived, the joy on his face vanished instantly.
He then walked forward without saying a word.
Qin Jiu saw this.
He quickly followed the others.
"Greetings, Senior Uncle."
At the front of the Divine Guard Army, the three flag bearers saluted when they saw Zheng Dahai approaching.
The latter nodded, then pointed to the convoy and asked in surprise, "What's that thing? I don't remember it being there when I left."
"This was caught when we were near Songshan."
A woman who appeared dignified and gentle spoke apologetically, "But because of this, the Divine Guard Army is two days late. I hope my senior uncle will not be offended."
She was the only woman among the three.
His voice was clear and crisp when he spoke.
Like jade beads falling onto a plate.
"How could I blame you?"
Zheng Dahai waved his hand and said with a smile, "You three did a great job! This Nine Tribulation Mystic Turtle is extremely rare. Its core can help people condense true qi, its essence blood can prolong life, and its shell can even predict heavenly secrets..."
"It hasn't reached the ninth tribulation yet."
At this time.
Another figure spoke up, saying, "When the three of us, including Senior Sister Zhou, subdued this beast together, we examined it closely. It had only just grown to the level of the Third Tribulation, and it couldn't even pass the third tribulation."
"We want to station troops at Songshan."
"They certainly won't take it back to the sect."
"In addition, the rarity of this beast makes it easy for others to covet it. The three of us have discussed that after settling the Divine Guard Army, we will use this beast to enhance our own strength."
