The more Leng Shiqi walked, the more he felt that something was wrong. The entire inner region was deathly silent, which made him feel extremely strange.
If that was all, it would be fine. What made Leng Shiqi even more unacceptable was that he felt that he was about to pass through the inner region, but the Treasure Seeking Plate was still pointing ahead!
If he continued to walk forward, he would enter the central region of the Demon Miasma Mountain Range.
There were rank six monsters inside, which were equivalent to the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm experts of the Spirit Cultivator Realm!
It was a terrifying existence on the same level as the nine great Netherworld Blood Cloak Assassins of the Blood Cloak Pavilion!
In addition, he still remembered the expert who noticed his Byakugan not long ago.
In the center of the mountain range, there were probably not only rank six monsters, but also experts from the Imperial Beast Camp and the Blood Beast Sect.
If the treasure that the Treasure Seeking Plate pointed to was only in the inner region, Leng Shiqi would still dare to enter to explore. However, it seemed that it was still in the center of the mountain range, so he hesitated.
However, just as Leng Shiqi was hesitating, he suddenly discovered an aura in his Byakugan's field of vision!
He had seen that aura before. It was the Blood Beast Sect disciple who had appeared when he was secretly observing Cui Jing and his wife!
The key was that this aura was weaker than Leng Shiqi's own, only at the eighth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Leng Shiqi was puzzled, "Blood Beast Sect's people?
This person is only at the Spirit Transformation Realm and dares to wander around the border between the inner region and the mountain range? "
At this moment, Leng Shiqi thought of a plan and immediately sneaked over.
Chu Qiu was one of the elite disciples of the Blood Beast Sect. He was already at the eighth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm in his twenties and had a high chance of breaking through to the Spirit Pulse Realm before the age of thirty. He was one of the disciples that the sect valued.
This time, he had followed the sect to the Demon Miasma Mountain Range to carry out an extremely important mission. He was proud of it.
However, he was a little bored now.
This was because his mission was to patrol the border between the inner region and the center of the mountain range. If he encountered other spirit cultivators, he would do his best to stop them.
There were many people like him, and he was only in charge of this area.
In his opinion, the "beast tide" was about to erupt, so who would dare to venture deep into the Demonic Miasma Mountain Range at this time?
While Chu Qiu was bored to death, he did not realize that a layer of cold air had appeared beneath his feet.
By the time he felt a chill, it was already too late!
A majestic cold air gushed out from the ground, freezing Chu Qiu before he could even open his mouth to shout!
Following that, a pair of hands reached out from the ground and dragged Chu Qiu underground!
Naturally, it was Leng Shiqi.
After Leng Shiqi caught Chu Qiu by surprise, he didn't dare to delay and quickly dragged Chu Qiu away from this place.
During this process, he continued to release cold air to prevent Chu Qiu from breaking out of the ice.
Leng Shiqi didn't stop until he was a distance away. At the same time, he didn't continue to release the cold air. Instead, he held the jade sword to Chu Qiu's neck.
After a short while, Chu Qiu finally broke free from the ice, but he immediately felt the blade on his neck and was extremely shocked.
He was a spirit cultivator at the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and he thought that his strength was not bad. However, he was actually captured by this old man without anyone noticing!
One had to know that the experts of the four realms of Heaven and Man were not far from the center of the mountain range, but he had disappeared without anyone noticing.
Now, his life was in the hands of others!
Chu Qiu ignored the ice on his face and said hatefully, "Who are you? Do you know my identity?!"
Leng Shiqi smiled sinisterly and said, "Aren't you just a disciple of the Blood Beast Sect?"
"Since you know, let me go now and you might still have a chance to live!
The experts of the sect are nearby, and they will soon notice that I have disappeared. When they find you, I'm afraid you will be fed to the Blood Beasts. "Chu Qiu used the Blood Beast Sect to suppress him.
However, Leng Shiqi's hand moved slightly, and the jade sword cut open a bloody mark on Chu Qiu's neck!
Chu Qiu's eyes finally revealed a look of fear. He looked at Leng Shiqi's cold expression, and he seemed to know that the other party really dared to kill him.
Leng Shiqi really wanted to kill him, and his body even revealed a faint killing intent. He said, "This old man doesn't want to talk nonsense. I'll ask, and you answer. Do you understand?"
Chu Qiu shuddered inwardly and nodded his head honestly.
Leng Shiqi asked, "Is the change in the Demon Miasma Mountain Range related to your Blood Beast Sect?
Will there really be a beast tide outbreak? "
"This …" Chu Qiu hesitated for a moment, but still said, "It was us and the Imperial Beast Camp who worked together to drive the Rank Three Demonic Beasts from the inner regions to the outer regions, creating the illusion of a beast tide riot. Furthermore, we spread the news in order to expel the spirit cultivators from the mountain range."
When Leng Shiqi heard this, he thought that it was indeed the case. There was no beast tide outbreak in the Demon Miasma Mountain Range at all. All of this was just as he had thought, it was all the doing of the Blood Beast Sect and the Imperial Beast Camp behind the scenes!
At the same time, he also found it strange that the Imperial Beast Camp and the Blood Beast Sect were two completely hostile sects, so why would they work together to set up a trap?
He continued to ask, "What about the Demonic Beasts in the inner regions?
There are quite a few Rank Four and Rank Five Demonic Beasts here. Where did they all go? "
Chu Qiu replied, "The Rank Four and Rank Five Demonic Beasts have already developed some intelligence. They know that danger is coming, so they run and hide. That's why there are no Demonic Beasts in the inner regions."
Danger is coming?
Leng Shiqi keenly found this key point. He thought to himself, "Could it be that the experts of the two top forces have gathered, causing these Demonic Beasts to escape?"
However, he felt that things were not that simple, so he asked, "Danger?
What kind of danger would cause the Rank Four and Rank Five Demonic Beasts to escape? "
At this time, Chu Qiu opened his mouth and finally said hesitantly, "Senior, you already know enough. There are some things that you won't benefit from knowing. Why bother to get to the bottom of it?"
"Hmm?"
Leng Shiqi frowned. He quickly formed a seal with his left hand and summoned a blood-colored centipede that was as thick as an arm. The centipede burrowed into Chu Qiu's body.
Chu Qiu immediately convulsed in pain, but Leng Shiqi's sword was still on his neck, so he did not dare to move. Just like this, he was in so much pain that his face turned pale and he even foamed at the mouth!
Leng Shiqi saw that it was about time. He changed his seal and temporarily calmed the Centipede Curse, but Chu Qiu's body was still convulsing. After a while, he slowly recovered.
Leng Shiqi said coldly, "Remember, I'm the one asking you. If you don't want all your meridians to be bitten and die in endless pain, tell me everything you know."
Chu Qiu panted a few times and nodded heavily.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of you and the Imperial Beast Camp coming to the Demonic Miasma Mountain Range?"
Chu Qiu weakly said something that shocked Leng Shiqi. He also understood why the Imperial Beast Camp and the Blood Beast Sect had joined forces for the first time!
