Marvel Superheroes in China

In fact, Qin Wu's first concern was completely unnecessary. He could have taken inspiration from the heroic figures of ancient my country, such as Xu Xian and Ning Caichen, who bravely faced danger and sacrificed themselves for their cause! However, it seems that neither of those two men faced a creature as formidable as Qin Wu's!
The small room was filled with an awkward atmosphere. Finally, Qin Wu broke the deadlock: "At this point, we can only take it one step at a time. There are two main problems facing us now!"
"Which two?" Chi Yaotai was successfully drawn to Qin Wu's attention and asked him with a curious look in her eyes.
Qin Wu pondered for a moment and said, "First, we need to hurry up and put the cultivation of the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique on our agenda! As you've seen, in this chaotic world, only strength has the right to speak; everything else is just empty talk!"
Chi Yaotai nodded in agreement: "That's right, the two of us are still too weak. Yuan Hong alone almost drove us to the brink of destruction, let alone this treacherous Investiture of the Gods!"
What they didn't know was that Yuan Hong's strength was among the top in the entire Investiture of the Gods realm.
Think about it, someone who can fight to a draw with Yang Jian, a third-generation disciple of the Kunlun Jade Void lineage, is no ordinary person. So it's no wonder that Qin Wu lost to Yuan Hong.
"The second matter is the resettlement of the Six Heroes of Meishan and the Gao Ming and Gao Jue brothers. We can't let them stay here indefinitely, can we? These people are definitely a trump card in our hands during the Investiture of the Gods war, and we must settle them properly! If necessary, we can use these initial assets to develop our own power and dominate the Investiture of the Gods!"
Chi Yaotai narrowed her eyes slightly: "Qin Wu, Qin Wu, I didn't expect you to be such an ambitious person!"
Qin Wu thought to himself, "What ambition do I have? If it weren't for this damn, crappy 2.2 system, I wouldn't be doing something so dangerous!"
However, I certainly can't say that outright, or it would make me seem too cowardly: "If we don't do this, how can we be worthy of such a large family fortune as yours?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chi Yaotai's face flushed red. Qin Wu quickly added, "Alright, alright, let's go outside and see what's going on, otherwise these guys might say something!"
Chapter 606 Paying Tribute to Yuan Hong (4)
Meishan outside Chaoge City
The Six Eccentrics of Meishan, Gao Ming and Gao Jue, along with Qin Wu and Chi Yaotai, stood together in front of Yuan Hong's tomb.
Holding a bouquet of flowers, Qin Wu shouted, "One bow!"
Everyone bowed deeply to Yuan Hong's tombstone. In fact, including Chi Yaotai, no one knew what Qin Wu was trying to do.
But when he said that this was the highest level of respect the deceased should receive in their area, everyone followed suit.
"Two bows!"
"Three bows!"
"The family members return the greeting!"
After the ceremony, everyone placed the flowers they held in front of Yuan Hong's grave. Seeing that the Six Eccentrics of Meishan were about to shed tears again, Qin Wu quickly said, "You all go back first. I have a few words to say to Brother Yuan Hong!"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Yang Xian spoke up: "Okay, then let's go back first. There's plenty of time in the future, and we can come to see our elder brother anytime!"
The other five monsters also expressed their agreement. So, led by Chi Yaotai, they all descended the mountain.
The once bustling Meishan was now empty except for Qin Wu. Qin Wu stepped forward, picked up a peach from the offerings at Yuan Hong's tomb, and began to eat it directly.
"Brother Yuan Hong, let's have a chat! Hey, you don't mind if I eat one of your peaches, do you?"
As he spoke, Qin Wu gave a wry smile: "That's true, even if you mind now, there's nothing you can do. You can't exactly come up from down here to find me, can you? The cost of going back and forth is too high!"
After finishing the peach, Qin Wu wasn't finished. He picked up two wine cups in front of him, poured himself a cup, and poured one for Yuan Hong as well, then poured the wine in front of Yuan Hong's tombstone.
"I have to say, you're a real man. I could never do what you did. But I'm also quite envious of you, getting rid of this so early,"
With a long sigh, Qin Wu continued, "You are free now, but I still have to endure. I'm not as fortunate as you; I really can't afford to die. At least you have a few brothers who can protect themselves, but I'm different. Everyone in my Xingyi Sect, young and old, is counting on me!"
"But don't worry!" Qin Wu said, pouring another cup. "As long as I'm still in this realm, I'll never forget you, brother! You've done me such a huge favor this time, how can I ever repay you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Wu opened his palm, and a ball of lightning with an arc of electricity flew towards a large tree on the side.
In an instant, Qin Wu heard a loud bang, and the tree was burned to ashes. Immediately, a dark figure darted out of the flames and fled in the opposite direction from Qin Wu.
Qin Wu was not in a hurry to give chase. It seemed that he was really being watched this time. Even if he killed this one, it would be of no use. The other side would send thousands of people like him to spy on him. This matter still needed to be considered carefully.
But Qin Wu thought about it carefully and realized that he didn't seem to have any enemies in this world, so why would anyone come looking for trouble for him?
Qin Wu thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out who this person was. However, there was one thing: the person's back view and the way they ran away looked very familiar!
Could it be... could it be that I know this person?
Chapter 607 Site Selection for the New Cave (5)
However, this problem should be put aside for now. As long as this guy is targeting us, he will definitely reappear.
The most crucial thing now is to deal with the immediate troubles, namely Gao Ming, Gao Jue, and the Six Eccentrics of Meishan.
That's right, these are the people who are the biggest problem right now.
Because I can't let them live at Jiang Ziya's house forever, otherwise the old man will really go crazy.
So the most important issue now is to quickly find a mountain peak close to the Wei River to serve as the new hideout for these guys.
When necessary, it can also serve as a base for Qin Wu to develop his own power!
This can truly be considered killing two birds with one stone!
Choosing a new cave dwelling would not only solve Qin Wu's immediate problem, but also allow him to plan for long-term development. Why not do it?
Without hesitation, Qin Wu immediately harnessed his Wind and Thunder Wings and soared into the sky, heading towards the Wei River.
A quarter of an hour later, Qin Wu arrived at the Wei River, above Jiang Ziya's house.
However, Qin Wu did not rush down, but instead began to circle around Jiang Ziya's house as the center point.
According to modern standards, that is, the standards of Qin Wu's time, the Wei River is located in the Guanzhong Plain area of Shaanxi Province.
This place has a typical temperate inland climate, the land is very arid, mostly loess, and there are basically no tall mountains.
However, this was during the Shang and Zhou dynasties three thousand years ago, when soil erosion was not as severe, and the Wei River was still surrounded by mountains. Otherwise, Qin Wu would have had a real hard time dealing with this.
After circling and observing in the air for a long time, Qin Wu still couldn't find a suitable place.
Either the terrain is not precipitous enough, making it easy to be disturbed by the mortals around; or the spiritual energy is not abundant enough, making it unsuitable for cultivation.
To achieve this, one must give up that, which gave Qin Wu, who suffered from decision-making difficulties, an immense headache. Now he finally understood why those immortals always cultivated in deep mountains and forests or on secluded islands! It turned out they weren't just showing off for no reason; there was a real reason behind it!
The idea that "a true hermit lives in the city" or "a great hermit lives in the court" is utter bullshit. Show me what it means to live in the court!
Qin Wu was flying and cursing the idle street when he suddenly looked down and thought, "Hey, this place is not bad!"
Surrounded by mountains and water, with fertile fields stretching for miles, and a very rugged terrain, it's likely that there weren't many people living in this place.
Qin Wu rose a little higher and looked down from above. This mountain was located on the ridge of a small dragon vein, with abundant spiritual energy. Although the dragon vein was not large, it was a reclining dragon, and the spiritual energy contained within should not be a big problem to use for one or two hundred years.
Most importantly, this place is only a few dozen miles from Jiang Ziya's home, which is really a fleeting moment for someone like Qin Wu.
Ah, there's no better place to be a cave dwelling. It seems this trip was worthwhile!
Thinking of this, Qin Wu's mood instantly brightened, and he even forgot about the man in black from earlier; he descended from the clouds and came to the vicinity of this mountain, intending to take a closer look.
But Qin Wu had barely landed when he heard someone call out to him from behind: "Wait a minute, young man!"
Chapter 608 The Old Man in the Deep Mountains (6)
Qin Wu quickly turned around and saw an old man calling him, but he didn't recognize the old man.
However, out of politeness, Qin Wu still responded and then walked to the old man's side: "Old man, is there something you need from me?"
The old man glanced at Qin Wu, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. Although it was not obvious, Qin Wu still noticed it. Qin Wu immediately sensed something was wrong and became vigilant, staring intently at the old man.
The old man calmed himself down, then his face regained its tense expression: "Young man, I see you're heading into these mountains?"
Qin Wu nodded with a half-smile: "That's right, old man, I'm heading into this mountain!"
The old man panicked instantly, saying anxiously, "No, young man, you absolutely mustn't go up this mountain!"
Qin Wu looked at the old man in confusion: "Old man, how could you say such a thing?"
The old man stretched out his hand, pointed to the summit of the mountain, and said, "There's a monster on this mountain again!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Wu immediately perked up. This old fellow was finally getting to the point. It seemed that the old man's purpose was definitely related to this mountain, or rather, he was definitely going to make a fuss about the monsters on this mountain.
Qin Wu thought to himself, "With your terrible acting skills, how can you still come out and deceive people? I don't know what you're thinking."
If it's not as good as doing it yourself, then just go with the flow and see what this guy is up to!
So Qin Wu quickly went along with the old man's act, looking at him in horror: "What, what did you say? There are monsters on this mountain?"
The old man was overjoyed, almost revealing it, but he suppressed his excitement and said to Qin Wu very seriously:
"Yes, there are indeed monsters on this mountain. Countless people have perished here! So whenever I meet people going up the mountain at this crossroads, I quickly tell them, 'You absolutely must not go up the mountain!'"
Qin Wu nodded: "Just how many monsters live on this mountain?"
The old man shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, but I've heard people say that there are three hundred great demons and thirty thousand lesser demons on this mountain, not to mention countless mountain spirits and wild monsters that are not a threat!"
Good heavens, did you bring all the monsters in Chaoge City here?
There might not be that many monsters in the whole country. This old guy is really good at bragging.
However, even if it's only one-tenth of what the old man said, it's still very difficult to handle. It seems I need to find an excuse to go back and bring Gao Ming, Gao Jue, and the Six Eccentrics of Meishan back with me to be on the safe side!
Thinking of this, Qin Wu quickly asked, "Old man, is there another way to cross this mountain?"
The old man thought for a moment: "Yes, there is, but not many people know about this road. I happen to know it too, but..."
Qin Wu knew that the old man was about to take the bait, so he quickly continued, "But what is it, old man? Don't worry, as long as you take us to the right place, we will definitely not treat you badly!"
"us?"
