Chapter 1035 Beacon Fire Blood Pearl

Birch Sand City.

This was a little city on the border of Ink White Province.

It was exactly noon.

Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe sat down by the window on the second floor of a restaurant and ordered some food and alcohol and drank together.

“Over the past three days, we have passed through thirteen cities, and every time, that old bastard managed to locate us. If someone has indeed tipped him as we suspected then I believe that it is not done by the same person,” analyzed Xiao Qinghe.

“Yes, to tell you the truth, I already have a suspicion about who the culprit is.” Lin Xun sipped the wine. “Wait a little longer, the answer may be revealed soon.”

Xiao Qinghe asked no more questions.

Time passed by.

When ten minutes passed, Lin Xun suddenly set down the cup in his hand as if he noticed something and gave an eye signal to Xiao Qinghe.

Instantly, the two vanished from the restaurant.

……

West Lane in Birch Sand City.

This was a bustling place with a mix of people from all walks of life.

In the shadow of a corner, a slender middle-aged man in a shabby daoist robe was sitting in front of a booth hung with a couplet banner.

The first couplet wrote: The four pillars and hexagram calculate all the misfortunes and fortunes in the world.

The second couplet wrote: The five elements and eight trigrams foretell the good and bad omens in the world.

The man in the daoist robe sat with a solemn and superior expression on his face.

However, his booth was very quiet, and not a single soul seemed interested in it. Even so, he still sat calmly and did not look anxious at all.

Xiao Qinghe walked straight towards the booth and sized up the man in the daoist robe with narrowed eyes. A smile played on his lips. “Fortune Telling? What kind of fortune?”

The daoist-robed man’s expression subtly changed. He cleared his throat with a cough and asked, “Friend, dare I ask what you want to know?”

“Life and death,” answered Xiao Qinghe.

“Life and death?” The daoist-robed man’s eyes flashed. “This concerns one’s fate and karma. My knowledge is still too surface-level to be able to read one’s life and death.”

“I can do it.” Xiao Qinghe’s eyes turned ice-cold. Staring straight at the daoist-robed man, he put on a fake smile. “At least, I know whether you will be dead or alive today.”

The daoist robed man raised his head.

At the same time, Xiao Qinghe swung out his palm and sent a gush of invisible force to imprison the man.

Unable to move an inch, the man raged, “Friend, what do you mean by this?”

PA!

Xiao Qinghe slapped him on the forehead. “Bastard, I can’t believe you’re still pretending!”

The man saw sparks fly before his eyes, and he grimaced furiously, “How dare you use violence all of a sudden?!”

Xiao Qinghe sent him to the ground with a swift kick and then stretched out his hand to crush the man’s tightly clenched fist, squeezing out a crystal clear blood pearl from his grip.

“This is the Beacon Fire Blood Pearl of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan! No wonder that old bastard was able to find us every time. It turns out that you black dogs have been helping him.” Xiao Qinghe’s face darkened with undisguised killing intent.

He never imagined that Su Kong, a high and mighty king of the Spirit Treasure Holy Land, would secretly work with the infamous Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan.

“What…what do you want?” Knowing that his identity had been exposed, the man in the daoist robe panicked. “Since you know who I am then you must also know what the consequences of angering my clan would be.”

PA!

Xiao Qinghe knocked the man out with a fierce slap. He did not want to waste any time talking nonsense with him. Then, he lifted the man like a dead dog and disappeared from the spot.

……

In a little black hut.

Bursts of spine-chilling screams rang incessantly, occasionally mingled with unusual dog barks.

Fortunately, the black hut was isolated from the world by a restriction rune array. Otherwise, the racket would have attracted a lot of attention.

Under the interrogation and torture of Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe, the man didn’t withstand long before he collapsed on the ground with tears streaming down his face and told everything he knew.

It turned out that the cooperation between Su Kong and the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan was initiated by Gou Xuxing, the young master of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan. He ordered all the members of the clan to be distributed across the Ink White Province to inform Su Kong via the Beacon Fire Blood Pearl as soon as they spotted signs of Lin Xun.

Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe finally fully understood the reason why Su Kong could so easily pinpoint their location—He had the help of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan.

Lin Xun sighed inwardly. The Great Formless Art and the Suanni Qi are both wonderful, but they still couldn’t conceal me from the detection of the black dogs.

At the same time, he remembered who Gou Xuxing was. He was the young master of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan who had hunted him and Xia Xiaochong across the West Infinity World!

Of course, the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan had clan members all over the Ancient Wasteland Domain, and Gou Xuxing was just one of the many young masters of the clan.

However, Lin Xun did not think that Gou Xuxing still hadn’t given up on revenge after the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan’s den in the West Infinity World had been wiped out and even crazily came all the way to the East Victory World to get revenge!

It is no wonder that, even if cultivators all over the world despise and hate the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan, few have ever dared to provoke the clan. Once those crazy dogs latch their teeth onto someone they refuse to let go.

“What do we do with him?” asked Xiao Qinghe.

Lin Xun smiled. “Have you ever tasted dog meat?”

Xiao Qinghe scrunched his face in disgust. “Do you like to eat that kind of stuff? I won’t eat it even if you kill me!”

Lin Xun said indifferently, “After you try it, you will regret saying that.”

While the two were joking around, the man in the daoist robe was cowering in the corner of the black hut, face skewed with fear and panic.

……

Swoosh!

A ray of light pierced the sky and landed just before the entrance into Birch Sand City.

It was a man with a gray beard and gray hair, and an imposing figure. As his eyes opened and closed, thousands of thunderbolts seemed to be raging within them. It was precisely Su Kong, a king stage cultivator who had passed the second longevity tribulation.

As he landed, his tremendous spirit sense spread outwards. Within seconds, every inch of Birch Sand City was enveloped in his power.

The pedestrians on the street, the birds flying in the sky, the ants crawling on the ground, the blowing wind and rustling grass...all scenes were presented in his heart in detail.

Then, he took a step forward and, within a few breaths, he came to the fortune-telling booth on the corner of West Street in Birch Sand City.

“Where’s the intel? Why didn’t I receive anything this time?” Su Kong’s gaze landed on the middle-aged man in a daoist robe sitting behind the booth.

“The situation has changed. Demon God Lin disappeared as soon as he entered the city. It took me a lot of effort to even find a trace of him.” The daoist robed man got up and put on an ingratiating smile.

“Stop talking nonsense, give me the Beacon Fire Blood Pearl!” Su Kong frowned, emitting a frightening majesty.

The daoist robed man nodded quickly and took out a jade bottle.

Huh?

Su Kong scrunched his brows.

The crystal-clear jade bottle suddenly glowed, spewing out a gush of terrifying king grade forbidden array power.

Its force was as tremendous as a peal of thunder, and its power was strong enough to move the universe!

The blow was much stronger than the full-blow attack of a true Life Death Stage King!

Su Kong’s body went stiff, and his heart pounded violently; he sensed imminent danger.

This isn’t good!

Su Kong’s expression drastically changed. He subconsciously drew upon all his power and gathered it into a palm strike.

But to his shock, erupting along with the terrifying energy was the killing intent from Little Silver!

This attack had neither form nor substance. It acted only on the spirit, which was the most unpredictable form of attack.

Even if Su Kong was a king of the second longevity tribulation and his primordial spirit had long reached an extremely solid state, the sudden attack still inflicted significant damage to his spirit. He saw everything darkening before him, and his spirit felt as if it was being torn apart.

Everything happened in a blink of an eye.

Too fast!

So fast that even Su Kong, a Life Death Stage old monster with a wealth of experience in battle, was caught off guard.

By the time he sensed something bad, the power accumulated within the Dao Immeasurable Bottle was already bombarding him.

Boom!

The world quaked and magnificent, and terrifying divine light erupted from Su Kong’s body.

The terrifying destructive power had completely drowned out his mighty body.

Meanwhile, the man in the daoist robe transformed, resuming the appearance of Lin Xun.

Undoubtedly, this was revenge from Lin Xun.

The sky and the earth rumbled, the buildings near the corner of West Street exploded, the ground split and collapsed, and the nearby cultivators fled in panic.

Fortunately, the blow directly struck Su Kong’s body. Otherwise, the aftermath alone would have wiped out this area!

However, an old monster of the second longevity tribulation was unusually strong, possessing unimaginable great dao power.

Even though his figure had been submerged, he still had the power to strike back. At the moment he was wounded, he counterattacked in anger, slashing his fingers through the air like knives.

Clang!

Lin Xun, who had already summoned the Nameless Pagoda, narrowly blocked the blow, but the powerful impact still sent him flying across the air like a kite with a snapped string. His chest throbbed with pain, and he almost coughed on blood.

Grimacing, he quickly steered the Grand Universe Ark away.

Almost at the same time, Su Kong’s mighty figure broke free from the divine light, and he bellowed, “Little bastard, I will cut you into pieces!”

His voice reverberated like thunder, shaking the entire Birch Sand City.

His beard, hair, and eyebrows were burnt, his clothes were torn, and his skin was cracked and scorched in many parts. But his chest area was badly mangled with a wound almost splitting it open.

He was a mighty cultivator who had passed the second longevity tribulation, but now he looked very pitiful and tragic. He was so enraged that he almost vomited blood, feeling the great sense of humiliation and embarrassment bombarding his heart.

Boom!

Without any hesitation, he soared into the sky and chased after Lin Xun like a mad dragon.

Meanwhile, in Birch Sand City, countless cultivators were petrified, staring at each other in silence, feeling as if they had narrowly escaped death.

The oppressive power emanating from Su Kong was terrifying!

However, what made their hearts tremble was the fact that someone dared to attack a Life Death Stage King.

“I already said that even with a Saint treasure, it is impossible to kill an old beast like Su Kong,” Xiao Qinghe sighed on the Grand Universe Ark.

“At least I can make him taste the pain of being wounded.” Lin Xun also felt disappointed.

It cost him more than thirty thousand top-grade aeth essence each time to activate the power of the Four Divisions King Array stored within the Dao Immeasurable Bottle.

Even so, the tremendous power only inflicted a little pain on Su Kong. Lin Xun had to admit that a Life Death Stage King who had stepped onto the longevity path was indeed remarkable.

“Haha, you’re right! That old bastard is probably so mad with anger right now.” Xiao Qinghe chuckled.

Their surprise attack was very successful. Even if they failed to kill Su Kong, they were still satisfied to see him lose his composure and be humiliated.
