Chapter Fifty: The Devil's Shadow in the Deep Valley

  Qin Ke'er could have ignored these people and gone straight to the town, but when she heard the middle-aged woman's mournful cry, she couldn't help feeling a surge of sympathy in her heart, so she walked over.

  When these soldiers saw a woman walking towards them with an ethereal beauty, everyone's eyes fell on Qin Ke'er, drawn in by her aura.

  Only Qin Ke'er said in a low voice, "What's going on with these people?" Qin Ke'er's tone was unquestionable, and the middle-aged man dressed as an officer hastily replied, "They were bitten by blood bats and infected with bat venom."

  Although Qin Ke'er looked young, this officer was indeed an old and mature person. As soon as he saw Qin Ke'er's attire, he knew she wasn't an ordinary person.

  The white cheongsam worn by the girl in front of him was more luxurious than some merchants he had seen, and it was possible that she was a noble from above. Coupled with Qin Ke'er's dusty temperament, she was worlds apart from ordinary people.

  "Since they've been poisoned, why not find a doctor for them?" Qin Ke'er furrowed his brow. Although he had lived in Qingmu Sect since childhood, he also knew quite a bit about the mortal world. When someone fell ill or was poisoned, of course, one should find a doctor.

  At this time, Qin Ke'er's tone was completely that of a superior, after all, as the young master of Qingmu Sect, she had already developed some habits within the sect.

  "It seems that this girl is not an ordinary person" thought the middle-aged military officer, while his face showed a bitter expression. "This gentleman does not know, the poison of the blood bat is not trivial, if one is not careful, it will spread to others, and the Windy Town doesn't even have a doctor who can cure the bat poison they were infected with".

  At this time, the middle-aged military officer had already regarded Qin Ke'er as a superior existence, and the dozen or so soldiers standing behind him all showed strange expressions, secretly sizing up Qin Ke'er and guessing her background.

  As for those who were poisoned and lying on the ground, they also turned their dull eyes to Qin Ke'er. Especially that middle-aged woman, she even moved her body, faced Qin Ke'er and knelt down, kept kowtowing and begged: "Please, miss, have a kind heart and save us."

  Seeing these people pitiful, Qin Ke'er's expression was slightly moved. With a light wave of her left hand, a white glow burst out and covered the several ordinary people in front of her who were poisoned by the bat venom. Her spiritual power instantly scanned their bodies and found many dark red dots attached to their blood vessels, which were constantly devouring their blood, causing their faces to be so pale.

  Qin Ke'er tried to use her spiritual power to expel the bat poison, but the dark red spots that had attached themselves to their bodies seemed to have taken root and couldn't be driven out by her spiritual power.

  Seeing the white light emitted from Qin Ke'er's hand, the middle-aged military officer widened his eyes, trembled all over, and knelt down on the ground, stuttering: "Superior Immortal!"

  The soldiers behind also knelt down to the ground, their hearts extremely shocked. Although they had heard of the legend of the Upper Immortal before, today was still the first time they saw it, and everyone was excited beyond measure.

  And those ordinary people who were poisoned by the bat also became excited, their eyes filled with hope, and they all knelt down and kowtowed to ask for help.

  "Alright, can't this bat poison be dispelled?" Qin Ke'er's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly as she withdrew her spiritual energy and asked calmly.

  "It is said that deep within the Blood Bat Cave, there is a cold spring. If Master Xian can obtain water from this spring, perhaps they will be saved. However, countless blood bats inhabit the cave, making it extremely perilous, and ordinary people dare not approach." The middle-aged officer spoke with his head bowed, showing unusual respect.

  "Where is the Blood Bat Cave?" Since the cold spring water deep in the Blood Bat Cave can cure the bat poison on these people, Qin Ke'er decided to go for a walk.

  After a stick of incense, Qin Ke'er flew up and rose, with a flash of sword light under her feet, instantly carrying her body towards the southern Blood Tooth Mountain. From the middle-aged military officer's mouth, she had already learned the specific location of the Blood Bat Cave.

  As they watched Qin Ke'er's figure disappear into the distance, the crowd below felt an overwhelming urge to worship her, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Ke'er's figure had vanished.

  Endless mountains and rivers, misty atmosphere, towering peaks and boundless valleys. Outside the elegant small town lies endless mountains and rivers, steep cliffs, and deep gorges.

  In the distance, a towering mountain stands among the clouds and mist, with dense fog blocking its entire appearance, only revealing a faint outline. From the outline, it can be seen that this mountain is not ordinary.

  A green sword light shot out from the distant sky, and in an instant it rushed into the dense fog, swirling around in mid-air. A figure leaped down from the sword light and landed on a protruding rock at the waist of the mountain. The sword light flashed once and was then put away by him.

  He was wearing a black long gown, with a straight figure and a handsome face. He was obviously Wang Ke from the elegant small town, standing on the rock, his eyes scanning around.

  "This should be the Blood Fang Mountain, but I don't know where the Blood Bat Cave is." After observing for a while, Wang confirmed that what was in front of him was indeed the Blood Fang Mountain, but it was very large and he had no idea where the Blood Bat Cave was.

  The Blood Lotus is deep within the Blood Bat Cave, and as long as you make it to the Blood Bat Cave, you can find the Blood Lotus. However, the Blood Bat Cave has gathered countless blood bats, and getting the Blood Lotus from these guys will definitely not be easy.

  Wang Ke took a short rest before suddenly rising into the air, with a flash of sword light under his feet. The flying sword was already supporting his body as he rose into the air and began to search around.

  Meanwhile, tens of kilometers away from Blood Tooth Mountain, a white sword light streaked across the sky. Qin Ke'er stood on her flying sword and sped directly towards Blood Tooth Mountain.

  Behind Qin Ke'er, tens of kilometers away, a flying car was speeding through the air, enveloped in a faint cyan spiritual energy light, and several figures could be vaguely seen inside.

  "Lingfeng Shixiong, do we really have to deal with Wang Ke? He's also a righteous cultivator after all. If things go wrong, it won't be easy to explain," asked Tian Ming, a disciple of the Wanjia Gate, who was sitting cross-legged in front of him on the flying car, with some hesitation.

  "What's wrong, are you regretting now? Aren't you worried that he'll expose our affair?" The nearby Golden Sword looked over and said with a flash of cold light in his eyes.

  "But he may not necessarily know about our situation either. What if we make a move and he escapes, that would be troublesome." Tian Ming said with some concern.

  "Hmph, isn't he just a mid-term Nascent Soul cultivator? With Master Lingfeng around, what's there to worry about?" Jin Jian hummed, saying somewhat discontentedly.

  "Alright, don't mention it anymore. Whether he really knows our business or not, just in case, this kid can't be left behind. And the people of Lianhunmen happen to need a powerful main soul. Offering Wang Ke's main soul to them can still get us some good things. It's a win-win situation. Otherwise, if our affairs are really leaked out, we won't be able to mix in the Xiu Xian world anymore." Ling Feng said calmly, but his body emitted a strong spiritual pressure.

  The tail of the flying car kept spewing out white gas towards the back, moving very fast and leaving a long trail in the air.

  In the midst of countless great mountains, a dark and gloomy valley was shrouded in black fog, making it impossible to see what lay below from above. At this time, at the bottom of the valley, someone had built a stone platform, several meters high and wide, with black patterns covering its surface. In the center of the platform stood a black command flag, with a grayish-white flagpole, a black flag, and black spiritual patterns all over it. On the front of the flag, a fierce ghost pattern seemed to come alive, constantly letting out a loud roar.

  Next to the stone pedestal, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face and wearing a black long gown sat on top of a boulder. The middle-aged man had long hair, his eyes gleamed red, his hands pinched a seal, and he was surrounded by a faint black mist. His lips moved slightly, as if reciting an incantation.

  Next to the stone platform, hundreds of corpses were piled up in a disorderly manner. From the seven orifices of these corpses, faint black mist would occasionally gush out and be absorbed by the command flag on top of the stone platform.

  Not far from here, there were several young monks wearing black robes, and the aura emanating from these monks was somewhat gloomy. However, the intensity of their spiritual pressure was extraordinary, all of them being Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

  These several monks were standing in the distance at this time, as if they were responsible for keeping watch. Suddenly, a wave of fog rolled over from above and a black shadow flew down from above.

  "Who!" Several young monks immediately went on high alert, but a weak voice came from above, "Don't be tense, it's me." Soon the youth from above landed on the ground, surprisingly it was the demonic cultivator who had fought Qin Ke'er.

  At this time, the young man in black was in a sorry state, his left arm had disappeared, blood had congealed, a long sword wound on his chest, almost cutting him open, his black robe was tattered and worn out, his face was covered with bloodstains, and the spiritual energy around him was fluctuating violently.

  "Lao Qi, what's going on with you? How did you end up looking like this?" Several young men gathered around, their faces filled with shock, as they stared at the disheveled youth.

  Originally, the black-clad youth was in the later stages of Nascent Soul cultivation, but now the aura emanating from his body only had the intensity of the middle stage of Nascent Soul, clearly showing that he had suffered severe injuries and couldn't even maintain his realm.

  "I'm so angry, I've had bad luck and encountered a formidable woman. Not only did she ruin the senior brother's affairs, but I almost lost my life." The young man in black clothes was pale-faced, with a thick hatred in his eyes.

  "Who is so powerful, turning you into this state, at least it should be a high-ranking cultivator in the foundation building period."

  "He's a disciple of Qingmu Zong, extremely formidable. I even used the lifesaving item Master Big Brother gave me, and it's already a miracle that I can return this time. I hope Master Big Brother can avenge me."

  "Big Brother's Soul Flag has reached a critical moment, he doesn't have time to help you take revenge," said a tall black-clothed man beside him.

  "Master's Soul Flag is still short of a main soul, if we can capture this little girl, with her strength after absorbing the aura in the later stage, it would be enough to use as the main soul. Moreover, she has several rare treasures on her body, if we can take her down, there will definitely be unexpected gains." Thinking of Qin Ke'er's transparent light shield and the extraordinary flying sword, this young man began to tempt.

  "But we've already promised Lingfeng, and there's a Nascent Soul cultivator's soul as the master soul. That kid should be arriving at Blood Tooth Mountain by now. Let's go over once Master Brother is done with his current task." A young man said with furrowed brows.

  "Blood Tooth Mountain! Let me take a look." The young man's pale face changed slightly at the words, and then his right hand shone with a flash of light. A palm-sized circular disc appeared in his hand, with a faint glow on its surface. A small red dot was particularly eye-catching in the faint light. Seeing the position of the red dot, a look of joy appeared on the young man's pale face.

  "That's great, I didn't expect this stinky girl to be on Blood Tooth Mountain too. Why don't we take care of her together and kill two birds with one stone?" The young man suggested, the others were somewhat moved by his words, but looking at their senior brother who was still refining the demonic flag, they all hesitated."

  "Since you have such a good master, then go together, this place doesn't need your guard, the refinement of the Soul Flag is nearing its end, I will naturally come over." At this time, a middle-aged man's voice came from afar, and he glanced at this side with a faint gaze.

  Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, these black-clad youths' faces lit up with joy, and they excitedly rose into the air, each mounting their swords to shoot upwards. The injured youth also raised his hand and released a circular flying device, which jumped up and flew towards the upper air.
