Using the MC system to pretend spiritual revival

Chapter 149 Late night secret conversation
"Li Qingfeng?"

Chongma had also heard of this boy named Li Qingfeng.

His reputation in the martial arts world is widespread.

His ruthless and merciless killing style, in particular, terrified some less upright cultivators and supernatural beings.

It can be said that his fame in the world of supernatural beings was built up by stepping over the corpses of various evil cultivators and demons.

It is said that the opponent's cultivation level was not even at the Qi Refining Perfection stage, but he was able to kill evil cultivators and demons at the Qi Refining Perfection stage by relying on powerful cultivation methods and magic treasures.

However, no one knew that the other party actually came from a Taoist sect.

They assumed that everyone else was a rogue cultivator like themselves who had entered the path of cultivation by chance.

In Chongma's view, this was nothing more than the result of the government deliberately blocking the news.

Fortunately, he stumbled upon the files that were about to be destroyed.

Li Qingfeng was clearly a level above other cultivators.

It is mostly because they have orthodox cultivation methods that they are able to reach such a level.

The cultivation methods after Qi Refining must have been recorded within the sect that taught him.

Having considered all this, the ants did not act rashly.

As a disciple who had come down the mountain for training, he was not entirely confident that he could win the battle, let alone the elders who must be from the opponent's sect.

He was just thinking of sending some insects over there as usual to gather information from a distance.

Unexpectedly, while searching for Leisurely Mountain by escaping underground...

Surprisingly, a brightly lit underground space made of piled-up stones was discovered deep underground at the foot of the mountain.

The grasslands, trees, flowers, and streams there are full of vitality.

It's impossible to tell that the scene is hundreds of meters underground.

Some of these creations, which resembled candles or torches, burned out of thin air and floated above the dome of this secret place.

Like tiny suns, they illuminated the entire vast, empty space.

The insects kept a close watch for several days, and cautiously discovered that these creations showed no signs of dying out, clearly indicating that they were extraordinary beings.

After observing for several days and seeing that no one was going in or out, he controlled one of his insect clones and cautiously crawled inside.

Once inside, one realizes that this is not an underground warehouse or any other kind of space.

It's practically a fairyland!

Among them, a spiritual spring emerges, and rare and precious medicinal herbs are growing vigorously in the medicinal field.

Under the eaves of the pavilion, various crafted magical artifacts and tools that were clearly made were neatly arranged.

To be honest, the ants were also quite greedy at the time.

However, over the years, his cautiousness and suspicion, which he relied on for survival, have allowed him to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

After careful investigation, it was discovered that the space was enclosed, with only a vertical shaft leading straight up to the surface.

By observing other insects in conjunction with this observation, it can be deduced that this vertical shaft leads directly to a small Taoist temple at the foot of a steep cliff.

That is, the Taoist temple where Li Qingfeng practiced, as recorded in the files obtained by the Special Operations Bureau.

This was also a bucket of cold water poured on him.

Since his own Gu worms couldn't carry anything with them when they burrowed underground, he couldn't take out any of the spiritual herbs or magical treasures from this secret cave.

If one wants to transcend the external world, one needs a direct path into the inner world, which is clearly a dead end.

Unfortunately, due to the danger of this place, they had no choice but to abandon most of the insects as informants.

Only one remained, buried deep under the rocks and soil, hoping for another opportunity.

Although it seemed hopeless to covet the small Taoist temple, there was even less chance of accessing the blessed land beneath it.

But the ants still harbored a sliver of hope and did not leave immediately.

Instead, they settled in a city called Wushan.

While controlling other insect bodies located throughout the country.

They searched for possible ancient ruins, blessed lands, and peerless treasures that might appear at any moment.

His plan was either to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage or to find a sect with a lineage and steal its cultivation methods.

Or they might use some exceptionally powerful treasures to forcibly increase their strength.

And soon, after staying in the misty mountains for a short time, the insects that were gradually exploring the underground of the city discovered...

Within the city of Wushan, there is an ancient building that is unusually large underground, covering almost half of the city area.

The entire structure is built from a single type of bluestone.

And this kind of rock is all too familiar to insects and ants.

It was the same building material used to construct the paradise, which was exceptionally sturdy and indestructible.

Having some experience in exploring ancient ruins, the insect immediately judged that the building must contain a large number of treasures.

Fortunately, even insects that have transformed into venomous worms can burrow through this type of stone.

Afterwards, they carefully and cautiously investigated the area.

In the subsequent burial chambers that were sealed off from the original tomb, dozens or even hundreds of different burial chambers of varying sizes were discovered.

They are connected to each other by a dense network of interconnected passageways.

In each tomb chamber, there were stone coffins and hanging treasures as burial goods.

Some tall, humanoid figures dressed in full armor also stood against the wall, like generals who had fallen into a deep sleep.

After thoroughly reviewing the Special Operations Bureau's data network, Chongma also recognized that these humanoid figures used as decorations were the legendary zombies.

While wandering the world, he had seen some people who were wandering the world for various reasons, or who were zombies created by corpse drivers.

But after venturing closer to investigate, a rather horrifying discovery was made.

On the exposed skin between the zombies' armor plates, there was a layer of purplish-blue hair growing.

According to the data network, these characteristics indicate that it is a level higher than the previously observed green-haired zombie.

It is an evil creature equivalent to the Golden Core stage cultivation level of a human cultivator.

However, these purple-haired zombies, dressed in full armor, actually served as decorations in some tombs, much like guards.

He was so frightened that he shrank to the farthest point, afraid that his movements would accidentally awaken a certain purple-haired corpse.

Clearly, while the ant was quite strong, as a zombie comparable to a Golden Core cultivator, it was almost certainly doomed. Then, the burial goods—various rare and precious materials and magical artifacts contained in stone boxes and jade plates—dazzled the ant's eyes.

Greed and desire nearly overwhelmed reason.

Fortunately, he managed to restrain himself in the end.

He understood that ancient tombs of this caliber were beyond the reach of someone as mere Qi Refining Perfection cultivator as he was.

However, it's not entirely without a solution.

As long as they can find a way to lure the zombies out of the tomb, the ants know that zombies are bloodthirsty and irrational monsters.

If any living creature appears in the tomb, it will be chased all the way out.

Where to find them? A powerful group, with the audacity to break into an S-class dangerous area with its entrances under the noses of the government.

Then we'll need to think about it carefully and make a plan.

Coincidentally, when they were robbing treasures from all over the world, the ants had encountered such an organization.

And he also happened to know very well what the leader of this organization wanted…

...

at this time.

It is more than 40 kilometers to the left of the cave where Lü Guye was renovating at night.

Inside a villa nestled in the woods, where most of the lights had been turned off in the darkness.

The room is located on the second floor, and a light is still on in a window facing northwest.

Through the closed glass, one can see a tastefully decorated, retro-style bedroom.

As you can see, wisps of smoke rise above the incense burner, and a silk screen depicting battles and horses blocks the view of the door.

On the east side of the room, in front of a solid wood desk.

Wearing a white undershirt and sporting a beard, Yue Feng leaned back in his chair.

Holding a thread-bound ancient book in his hand, he was now studying it intently with a serious expression.

Just then, his ear, which was hidden by his disheveled sideburns, suddenly twitched.

The next moment, Yue Feng closed the book in his hand without changing his expression and gently placed it on the desk in front of him.

"Alright, stop hiding and come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a rustling sound came from the corner of the room behind him.

At first glance, it sounds like a group of small animals moving around in a herd.

The next moment, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the corner that the light could not reach.

Accompanied by disgusting crawling and twisting sounds, it gradually writhed and rose higher.

After a few breaths, the changes stopped.

A strange figure, slender and tall, covered entirely by layers of black robes, appeared in the dimly lit corner of the room.

"Master Yue has such keen hearing. I only moved slightly by accident, and you heard me."

A hoarse, unpleasant voice came through.

As the voice rang out, a series of sparse crawling sounds followed.

This slender, strange figure seemed to move horizontally, without making any visible movement, and quietly arrived at the empty space in the center of the room.

He stood still less than 6 meters away from Yue Feng, who was leaning against the chair with his back to him.

"In the past few days, I have been doing my best to spread the word about the ruins to all my forces, both those that are respectable and those that are not."

"For this, one of my brothers was sacrificed."

These words were supposed to be extremely flattering and pretentious.

But beneath that hoarse cry, which sounded like the scraping of carapace, it appeared more sinister and terrifying.

Meanwhile, Yue Feng, who was sitting in the chair, showed no intention of getting up or turning around.

Hearing the obsequious tone in the inhuman voice behind him, his expression remained indifferent, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

He simply raised his hand to stroke his beard, speaking without any emotion.

"Chongma, I'm happy to see you work hard and contribute more to our common goal."

"But it's best to keep those thoughts to yourself."

Upon hearing this indifferent tone, even the insect standing behind him, slightly bowing to show respect, paused for a moment.

However, no change in expression could be seen on the mask made of insects, only a hint of unnaturalness in his subsequent tone.

"Of course... Patriarch Yue, rest assured, although I am just a rogue cultivator, my reputation is still guaranteed."

"Besides, even disregarding that, I'm still reluctant to part with the reward from Patriarch Yue afterwards."

Upon hearing this answer, Yue Feng frowned slightly, and his tone became somewhat unfriendly.

He snorted coldly and slapped the armrest of the solid wood chair.

Visibly, a palm-shaped shallow indentation was pressed into the hard wood surface.

"Humph!!"

"You really think I don't know that you, along with that old dog, also handed the information to Xiao Yan along with the two tomb sealing stones!"

"Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?!"

As his pent-up anger was ignited and erupted, Yue Feng's muscles bulged, and he instantly stood up from his seat.

Looking again, where was that scholarly air from just moments before?
At this moment, Yue Feng exuded a chilling aura, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent beneath his sharp eyebrows.

I stared straight at the ant that stood silently in the middle of the bedroom.

"Remember this... if you win, both sides benefit."

"The treasures I promised you before, you won't be short even half of them."

"If you want to use the Yue family's influence to evade the current blockade and escape abroad, I will do my best to help you achieve that... Don't make a mistake for yourself!"

Without saying a word, Yue Feng's tone suddenly changed, and the killing intent that had just subsided became even more intense.

Through a pair of sharp eyes, it pierced straight into the motionless ant.

"If even one word you said before was a lie, then you won't escape the consequences!"
