The second stage of the Great Hunt was destined to be filled with blood and gore. At the same time, it was on a different level than before.
For example, the fluctuations from the previous stage had never appeared before.
Even though the Three God Shrines had descended and suppressed the core of Jiuli, the fluctuations from the Spider Divine Spirit had still caused the ferocious beasts of the Mountain and Sea Domain to be stimulated many times.
As a result, the ferocious beasts of the Mountain and Sea Domain became even more ferocious. In some areas, there were even small-scale beast hordes.
As a result, the danger to the cultivators participating in this stage also increased dramatically.
Not every day, but almost every day, many cultivators of the Flaming Moon Tribe who participated in the Great Hunt died tragically in the Mountain and Sea Domain. Their flesh and blood became nutrients that nourished the Mountain and Sea Domain.
In the midst of this chaos, some people also benefited. They achieved things that were originally impossible to achieve and obtained precious mounts.
But overall, the Mountain and Sea Domain was showing signs of chaos.
This was something that Xu Qing could feel even more clearly when he left his place of seclusion and sped through the sky.
He saw ferocious beasts galloping on the ground. They were ferocious beasts that looked like horses but had six legs and the head of a snake.
They were called the Flame Trampling Beasts.
The reason for their name was that when they galloped, green flames would appear under their feet. Everywhere they passed, green flames would fill the sky and burn souls.
As they galloped, the souls of many ferocious beasts and cultivators could be seen bound by the flames and letting out miserable screams.
The moment Xu Qing passed by in the sky, the Flame Trampling Beasts spat out green smoke and were about to attack him.
A Si 'e cultivator.
This cultivator was middle-aged and clearly had some tricks up his sleeve. Despite being chased by several mountain sparrows, he was still able to escape and was about to make his escape.
But in the next moment, a calm voice echoed around him and entered his mind. It was like a thunderclap.
"Seal." A single word spread through the world.
This was a seal cast by Jiuli. It was definitely not an ordinary seal. The moment it appeared, ripples formed with the Si 'e cultivator at the center and sealed the entire area.
In the blink of an eye, the Si 'e cultivator's body trembled. His mortal body came to a sudden stop and he couldn't move at all. His body, soul, and even the air around him froze.
As for the Mountain Sparrows that were chasing after him, they were all trembling. Then, as if they had received some sort of order, or as if they had been frightened, they quickly turned around and left in an instant.
Only the member of the Si 'e Clan was left frozen in the air. The shock in his heart was monstrous until he saw a figure appear from the void in the distance. The figure walked over step by step, and wherever it passed, black flames spread across the world.
The moment he saw Xu Qing's face, a storm was set off in his mind. He recognized Xu Qing!
But according to what he knew, Xu Qing should have been killed by Still Terminator Master!
Yet now, it had appeared before him. This scene caused the storm in the Si 'e Clan cultivator's mind to reach its peak. His body instinctively wanted to tremble, but the seal was too strong, so he couldn't even tremble.
As a result, all the shock and fear could only be seen in his eyes.
Especially as Xu Qing walked over, the flames wrapped around the Si 'e cultivator's body, causing him to feel intense burning pain. What terrified him the most was the pressure Xu Qing gave off.
This pressure caused cracks to appear on his body. It was as if he was facing a god.
Xu Qing looked at the Si 'e Clan cultivator and asked, "Do you know where Master Ji Dong is?"
As his words echoed, the restriction on the Si 'e Clan cultivator loosened a bit. Rapid breathing came from the Si' e Clan cultivator's mouth. The feeling of death in his heart was very strong, and his body was trembling.
However, no matter what, he couldn't dispel the will to give up in his heart, so he quickly shook his head. He really didn't know where Master Ji Dong was.
"You don't know?"
Xu Qing's expression remained the same. He saw everything the Si 'e Clan cultivator was doing. He waved his hand and a strand of soul flew out. It wrapped around the Si' e Clan cultivator and tied him behind his back.
He had only restricted this person's cultivation, but he didn't restrict his voice transmission. He could even open this person's bag of holding, but he could only take out a voice transmission jade.
Xu Qing wasn't going to kill this person now because instead of searching for Master Ji Dong, Xu Qing didn't want Master Ji Dong to find him himself.
However, this required the cooperation of the Si 'e Clan cultivator. Therefore, the King Kong Sect's ancestor flew out and circled the Si' e Clan cultivator. His sharp tip moved along the Si 'e Clan cultivator's skin, leaving shallow marks …
The coldness and the feeling of death he gave off made the Si 'e Clan cultivator tremble even more.
"Are you going to ask for help yourself, or do you want me to help you?"
The King Kong Sect's ancestor's figure appeared and sat on the metal skewer. His gaze swept past the Si 'e Clan cultivator.
"I'll choose a place to pierce a hole for you. You better hope that you're popular enough, or else … Keke."
The Si 'e Clan cultivator didn't hesitate under the King Kong Sect's ancestor's gaze. He immediately followed the other party's request and sent a voice transmission to ask for help.
Just like that, under the urging of the King Kong Sect's ancestor, as Xu Qing continued to move forward in the Sky Palace, the Si 'e Clan cultivator, who was tied by the soul thread behind him, kept sending voice transmissions to ask for help.
As for the hidden intentions in his voice transmissions, Xu Qing didn't care. He hoped that more people would come. However, he didn't know if it was because Xu Qing's fierce reputation was too widespread, or this Si 'e Clan cultivator didn't have good relations with others, or he was unreliable in doing things. Several hours had passed, but no one came to save him.
Xu Qing was getting impatient from waiting and simply sped up.
Just like that, several days passed.
During this period, the Si 'e Clan cultivator's voice became weaker and weaker. No matter how fierce the King Kong Sect's ancestor was, this Si' e Clan cultivator was helpless and could only wail.
Fortunately, he called many of his companions to disperse the King Kong Sect's Ancestor Song's thorns.
For the past few days, whenever Xu Qing encountered Bai Ze or the Si 'e Clan cultivators, he would directly tie them up and throw them behind him.
Now, there were dozens of cultivators, and their hearts were filled with despair. Under the torture and threats of the King Kong Sect's Ancestor, they constantly begged for help. At the same time, their wails became more and more hoarse.
Seeing more and more companions, the Si 'e Clan cultivator who was first caught by Xu Qing trembled and the fear in his heart became more and more intense.
However, in the next moment, a trace of Jiuli's aura spread out from Xu Qing's body.
It was just a trace, but the originally violent Flame Stomping Beasts on the ground all trembled and stopped in their tracks. Then, they actually crawled toward the sky and wailed.
They weren't howling because they had suffered physical injuries, but because of the pain and sorrow that came from their souls.
That was an instinct in their bloodline.
Jiuli was the Ancestral Witch of Xuantian. Its aura and bloodline were supreme in this land.
The origin of all the ferocious beasts in the Mountain and Sea Domain was the Great Witch under Jiuli back then.
Therefore, when these ferocious beasts sensed Jiuli's aura again, a trace of bloodline memory was evoked in them.
Xu Qing paused and looked at the group of Flame Stomping Beasts that were crawling on the ground. After a while, he whistled and flew into the distance.
Along the way, similar scenes could be seen everywhere.
Even in the sky, it was the same. Flocks of flying beasts were recklessly stirring up storms, but the moment Xu Qing approached, these flying beasts all stopped. They trembled and bowed down in worship, howling in grief. This made Xu Qing deeply feel the sorrow of these ferocious beasts, and he also felt the status of Jiuli in this place.
He even gradually felt as if he was walking in his own territory.
However, this feeling accumulated in Xu Qing's heart along with the bitter emotions of Jiuli.
Xu Qing didn't like to be affected, so he erased these emotions that belonged to Jiuli that appeared in his heart.
As he walked, his speed became faster and faster. After a few hours, a dark light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. He found the clue that he was looking for.
It was a person who was being chased by a mountain sparrow. This was because he had not only seen Xu Qing's ferocity in the past few days.
There was also the abnormality of the ferocious beasts from the Mountain Sea Region!
Along the way, he saw many ferocious ferocious beasts that he would usually think of ways to escape from would prostrate themselves when they saw Xu Qing. It didn't matter if they were alone or in a group.
It was as if they were subjects who had seen their king!
This scene was too shocking. There were a few times when he felt a sense of loss. This was because he had never heard of such a thing before. He had also never seen such a thing in any historical records.
From what he knew, the ferocious beasts of the Mountain Sea Region were all ferocious and unruly. If he wanted to tame them, he would need strength and luck.
Moreover, after taming one, the difficulty of taming a second one would be infinitely greater.
However, now … he recalled all the ferocious beasts that prostrated themselves before Xu Qing. Some of them were even ranked among the beasts and were desired by the cultivators.
However, at this moment, it was clear that as long as Xu Qing nodded, they would immediately run over and follow him willingly.
"This … This …" This inconceivable matter caused the Si 'e Clan cultivator's heart to tremble even more intensely.
Six days later, when the number of Si 'e and Bai Ze cultivators tied up behind Xu Qing had reached 100, the densely packed crowd was a shocking sight.
They were constantly sending out voice transmissions for help. In the Mountain Sea Region, it finally caused a monstrous storm.
The news that Xu Qing was still alive spread rapidly. The news of him asking about Ji Dongzi's whereabouts also spread in the storm.
The shocking and ferocious scene of hundreds of cultivators tied up flying through the sky was naturally witnessed by the other Flaming Moon Tribe cultivators and the Xin 'e Clan cultivators. It caused the storm to become even more violent.
Hence, Xu Qing's name once again appeared in the hearts of all the participants. It was even more profound than before.
Xu Qing was using his actions to tell Ji Dongzi, "I'm waiting for you!"
