The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 4374 Sacrificial Rituals

The Shadow Knight stared at his leader Shadow, breathing heavily, waiting for the chance to survive.

At the same time, Chi Xiao, who had lost his position, had already arrived above the Huafu Tianqing Mountains. Through the diffused clouds, he overlooked the entire mountain range. Above it were many small and medium-sized sects, but they were weak and possessed little energy. They obviously did not look like the sects that could gain a foothold in the Holy Realm. With such strength alone, they would have been devoured by the surrounding sects long ago.

Through the perception of beast taming, Chi Xiao tried to send all the information back to Qin Yun.

But this distance was obviously beyond everyone's imagination.

Qin Yun, who was far away in the imperial capital, felt the faint perception transmitted back and was shocked to realize that Chi Xiao had already traveled more than tens of millions of miles away and was almost reaching the edge of Baisha Territory. Based on the distance of the teleportation formation possessed by Daxia today, he had crossed the distance of ten teleportation formations.

"so far?!"

Qin Yun said secretly, and with the great national fortune of Da Xia as his foundation, he sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to improve his own realm, trying to strengthen the strength of the beast taming method and communicate directly with Chi Xiao.

Qin Yun's cultivation energy surged, reaching the peak of the Juxian Realm and even touching the Tianxuan Realm.

At this moment, a sound of wind rising high into the sky seemed to reach Qin Yun's ears. He was surprised and delighted, and shouted loudly: "Chi Xiao!"

Chi Xiao looked around and used Qin Yun's perception to try to find the source of the sound.

However, he found that there was no one around, not even a trace of breath. After a while, Chi Xiao came to his senses and found that the voice exploding in his mind was completely transmitted by the beast taming technique and had no entity at all.

"Your Majesty, is that you?"

Chi Xiao exclaimed, and Qin Yun was equally surprised: "Yes, Chi Xiao, do you know where you are now?"

Looking down at the flower-covered sky-blue mountains, Chi Xiao was puzzled: "I don't know, Your Majesty. I have never been here. It is very barren. The sects that exist on the mountains are weak. Any small sect can be easily conquered."

As Qin Yun's cultivation level rose, countless energies gathered, and the scene of the flower-covered Tianqing Mountains gradually appeared before his eyes.

Although this place is far away from the edge of Baisha Territory, there are still many sects around it, each with its own faction. In such an environment, how could a sect of this strength easily gain a foothold? There must be some unknown secrets.

Soon, Qin Yun connected it with the hidden sect, Lingkong Sect.

"It's the Lingkong Sect. They must be in the vicinity of the Huafu Tianqing Mountains. While concealing their own aura, they protect the other sects in the mountains to cover up the fact of their own existence. At the same time, they attribute all the energy of luck to their own sect, regardless of the lives of others. It's no different from covering one's ears and stealing a bell." After hearing Qin Yun's explanation, Chi Xiao suddenly understood: "Your Majesty, in other words, the Lingkong Sect is in the Huafu Tianqing Mountains?"

Qin Yun agreed: "That's right, but it's not easy to find them. It seems almost impossible to face the Lingkong Sect without alerting them, unless..."

"Unless what?" Chi Xiao asked hurriedly.

"Unless you can capture a disciple from the sect below alive, and bring him back to Daxia if he knows the inside story."

After these words were spoken, not only Chi Xiao, but also the generals and soldiers of Da Xia who were lined up in formation were shocked by Qin Yun's words. This journey was arduous and difficult, and it would be difficult for Chi Xiao to accomplish it alone.

"Your Majesty." Chi Xiao was a little embarrassed: "If Your Majesty trusts me, Chi Xiao is willing to give it a try, but Chi Xiao is afraid of being exposed and disrupting Your Majesty's plan."

Considering the distance between the Great Xia Empire and the Huafu Tianqing Mountains, even for Qin Yun, it would take half a day to get there.

If the army sets out at this time, it will take several days just to travel, and it will definitely alert the enemy. Not only will it be unable to find the location of the Lingkong Sect's position, it may even cause considerable losses. It would be more costly to injure one thousand enemies than eight hundred of our own. The gain would outweigh the loss.

At this point, the only option left is to hand over this arduous task to Chi Xiao, who will determine the secrets within the Huafu Tianqing Mountains and then lead the army here.

Qin Yun breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment, and quickly made a decision.

"Chi Xiao, I believe in you. At this moment, I will lead the soldiers of Da Xia to the Flower-covered Sky Blue Mountains. You must capture the disciples of the sect below as quickly as possible and join me and the army."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Chi Xiao took the order, spread his wings, and dived rapidly towards the sect below the mountains.

Qin Yun acted synchronously, asking all the soldiers except the Heavenly Army to rest, and the rest of the generals to go together, greatly increasing the marching progress. He then opened the teleportation formation and led the generals in, heading towards the Huafu Tianqing Mountains.

For this expedition, Qin Yun placed his hopes on Chi Xiao. With his speed and the ability to tam beasts, he wanted to enter the sect below and capture the disciples without alerting the enemy. Although it was quite difficult, it was by no means impossible.

These sects are relatively weak, and those who know the inside story must have a high status in the sect.

Chi Xiao chose the sect located in the center of the mountain range, hovered in the sky to observe, and waited for the opportunity.

Coincidentally, this sect called Tianqing Sect was performing a sacrificial ritual at that time. They placed all the young children and weak disciples on wooden stakes in the center of the sect, lit torches and added firewood, chanted something, and watched the person in the center of the flames die.

Seeing this scene, Chi Xiao was puzzled. Just as he was puzzled, Qin Yun's voice sounded in his mind again.

"near!"

Just two words made Chi Xiao dive subconsciously and get closer. As he got closer, Qin Yun seemed to sense a dark purple light flashing in the flames, and those people who were raised on the wooden stakes also disappeared into thin air.

Qin Yun was very familiar with this dark purple light. It was the light that flashed when the Shadow Cavalry performed their skills.

"Sure enough, the Lingkong Sect's position is in the Huafu Tianqing Mountains. Not only did they take away the sect's luck and energy in the mountains, they even spun a shocking scam. Through sacrifice, they made the people in the sect believe that the reason they can still gain a foothold in the Holy Realm despite their weak strength is because they have prayed for the protection of the gods."

Qin Yun secretly said: "Despicable and shameless, inhumane!"

After these words were spoken, the generals of Da Xia were furious and denounced the Lingkong Sect's behavior. Chi Xiao, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, wanted to rush down immediately, tell the truth, and cooperate with the sects in the mountains to fight against the Lingkong Sect.

Qin Yun said in a deep voice: "Chi Xiao, don't hesitate any longer, just point to the leader of Tianqing Sect! No one else knows the truth." After he finished speaking, Qin Yun used the beast taming technique to connect with Chi Xiao and pointed out the direction through perception.

Among all the people in the Tianqing Sect, the only one who is relatively powerful and has not been affected by the energy of luck must be the sect master. Only he knows the truth and has reached a contract with the Lingkong Sect.
