Chapter 75

The third Fourth Heaven expert of the Four Spirits Mountain finally appeared.

She Zhiqing, at the second level of the Martial Intent Realm, held a medium-grade spirit snake spear in his hand!

However, the moment he appeared, the protective array of the Mystic Valley Peak, which had not been breached for twenty years, was torn open by a single thrust of his spear, creating a portal several hundred feet high.

As She Zhiqing led the charge into the Mystic Valley Peak, the concealed martial cultivators of the Azure Spirit had already formed a torrent and surged into the foot of the Mystic Valley Peak.

Before them was a flat grassland, and further away was the camp of the Patrol Hall, but at this moment, not a single Azure Universe martial cultivator stood up to meet the enemy.

"Men, charge in!"

In mid-air, She Zhiqing pointed his snake spear forward, but his gaze was fixed on the peak of the Mystic Valley Peak.

However, before he could rush to the peak, a large red gourd about a foot tall suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path.

She Zhiqing's expression turned serious, but he was not afraid: "Who is lurking around? Why don't you come out and fight?"

"Ah—"

An old, hoarse sigh came from behind, and an elderly man with gray hair and a large red nose appeared at the foot of the Mystic Valley Peak, stepping through the air to reach She Zhiqing. He grabbed the gourd hanging in mid-air.

A Fourth Heaven expert, and there was actually another Fourth Heaven expert hidden on the Mystic Valley Peak, one they had never known about!

She Zhiqing felt a chill in his heart but shouted, "Who are you?"

The old man subconsciously scratched his red nose and said, "I am Dong Qianzui, the curator of the Mystic Valley Academy's Sutra Pavilion!"

She Zhiqing's face showed surprise: "What, you are Dong Qianzui? How can you be a Fourth Heaven expert?"

The old man smiled and said, "What, don't I look like Dong Qianzui?"

The Mystic Valley Peak and the Four Spirits Mountain had been in opposition for twenty years, and they had some understanding of each other's experts.

For example, Liu Qinglan, although she had first displayed her Martial Intent Realm cultivation, it did not surprise the Four Spirits Mountain martial cultivators.

Because this upper dormitory instructor had long stood at the threshold of the Fourth Heaven, and her advancement was completely within their expectations.

But who was Dong Qianzui?

A martial intent realm old man who had not advanced in cultivation for twenty years, who was left to retire in the Sutra Pavilion, indulging in food and drink, and was almost a waste.

How could he be a Fourth Heaven expert?

How could he become a Fourth Heaven expert?

The plan had changed again. How many hidden cards had Kou Chongxue hidden in the Mystic Valley Academy over the years?

Wasn't it repeatedly reported from the Azure Universe that the Mystic Valley Academy had become increasingly difficult to maintain in recent years?

Could it be that these reports were all false, used to mislead them?

If so, the source of these reports was very suspicious!

Hmph, after breaking through the Mystic Valley Peak, it seemed necessary to clean up these hidden lines in the Azure Universe!

Just as She Zhiqing was distracted, Dong Qianzui suddenly pulled the stopper from the large red gourd in his hand.

She Zhiqing was startled and immediately went on guard. He saw the old man swing the gourd, and a large amount of clear wine splashed towards him, the strong aroma of alcohol instantly filling the air.

She Zhiqing, fighting Dong Qianzui for the first time, did not know what this old man's attack was about.

To be safe, She Zhiqing did not dare to let the wine touch his body.

His snake spear moved continuously, actually deflecting all the wine that spewed from the gourd, not a single drop touching his body.

"Old man, a Fourth Heaven expert, is this all you've got?"

She Zhiqing was somewhat impatient. If not for the concern that the wine might have some special effect, he would have already charged to the old man's side.

"Ha ha, young man, since you've come as a guest, why don't you appreciate the good wine I offer?"

Dong Qianzui still had a calm, smiling face, which inexplicably made She Zhiqing's heart burn with anger.

"Dong old man, let me see what you're made of!"

She Zhiqing swung his snake spear and charged against the flowing wine.

Two streams of energy spiraled out from the spear tip, like a venomous snake ready to strike.

"Young man, you're too hasty!"

Dong Qianzui sighed, suddenly put away the gourd, and then blew a stream of crimson flames from his mouth...

...

The intangible barrier of the Mystic Valley Peak's protective array was torn open, and over a dozen Fourth Heaven experts and three dozen Martial Extreme Realm martial cultivators from the Four Spirits Mountain charged in through the breach.

However, unlike the expected ambush, the Mystic Valley Peak did not seem to have any plans to intercept the Four Spirits Mountain martial cultivators at the breach.

The flat grassland before them seemed to have no traps, allowing the Four Spirits Mountain martial cultivators to pass through.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy the Four Spirits Mountain martial cultivators became, feeling that the Mystic Valley Peak could not let them charge in so easily.

At this moment, a misty rain fell from the sky.

"Be on guard, be careful of poison!"

The leading Fourth Heaven expert immediately shouted, using his martial will to vibrate the elemental energy and push away the mist as much as possible.

However, the strong aroma of alcohol soon spread, and someone quickly realized that the mist was not poison but wine.

"Wine?"

Many people looked up to see where the wine mist was coming from.

But the moment they looked up, a wave of crimson flames appeared before their eyes...

At this moment, the wine mist had spread everywhere on the grassland, and the flames from above instantly ignited the area, turning it into a fiery hell.

About fifty Four Spirits Mountain martial cultivators who had first breached the Mystic Valley Peak's protective array were caught off guard, and over a dozen died instantly, while the remaining Martial Extreme Realm martial cultivators were all injured.

The other dozen Third Heaven martial cultivators, although none died, had three or four lightly injured due to carelessness.

But this was not enough to make them afraid. What truly terrified them was that the Fourth Heaven martial cultivators of the Mystic Valley Peak had broken the unwritten rules and attacked the lower-rank martial cultivators!

"Dong Qianzui, you dare to break the rules and attack lower-rank martial cultivators!"

She Zhiqing's voice roared in the sky, filled with shock and anger: "Do you think I won't dare to kill your lower-rank martial cultivators?"

"Misfire, misfire, all misfire!"

Dong Qianzui's voice sounded full of guilt and fear, as if the flames had not been intentionally aimed at the Four Spirits Mountain's lower-rank martial cultivators.

"Ah, why are you dodging?"

This drunk old man from the Sutra Pavilion even turned the tables: "I'm just a beginner in the Fourth Heaven, and you, a Second Level Fourth Heaven expert with a high-grade weapon, how could I be your match? I naturally had to use all my strength! But you, instead of breaking through my attack head-on, chose to dodge. Tell me, how can you blame me?"

This drunk from the Sutra Pavilion, while muttering, still held a wine gourd, occasionally spewing streams of crimson flames, engaging She Zhiqing in mid-air.

She Zhiqing was furious; he had never seen such a shameless person!

Clearly, this old man had taken the opportunity to attack lower-rank martial cultivators, yet he accused She Zhiqing of dodging in mid-air.

The old man's reckless fire, he could indeed break through head-on, but he had a more straightforward way to make the attack miss and counterattack. Why should he engage in a direct confrontation?

However, now that the old man had seized the upper hand, his incessant chatter and smug attitude made She Zhiqing even angrier!

If you can do it, why can't I?

She Zhiqing pulled his spirit snake spear and suddenly thrust it at Dong Qianzui with a backhand strike.

Dong Qianzui let out a strange cry and quickly dodged in mid-air.

However, She Zhiqing's spirit snake spear did not chase after him but continued to thrust downward.

The two streams of energy spiraling from the spear tip triggered the elemental energy in the air, forming a massive spear of elemental energy that shot directly at the Patrol Hall at the foot of the Mystic Valley Peak, turning the most prominent hall into ruins.

"Ah—"

Dong Qianzui cried out in mid-air: "She Zhiqing, you dare to attack lower-rank cultivators!"

She Zhiqing retracted his spear and coldly said: "Dong Qianzui, why did you dodge?"

Dong Qianzui cried out in mid-air: "You did it on purpose, you did it on purpose, I'll fight you to the death!"

With that, the curator of the Sutra Pavilion actually held his large red gourd and charged at She Zhiqing.

"You're asking for it!"

She Zhiqing, seeing the old man who had only dared to set fire from a distance now daring to close in, felt his killing intent surge.

Although he instinctively sensed that the old man might have a trick, seeing the Patrol Hall he had destroyed from a distance, he hesitated whether the old man was truly forced to fight to the death.

In a flash, Dong Qianzui held the gourd and charged, seemingly ready to fight to the death.

This was exactly what She Zhiqing wanted!

She Zhiqing swung his spirit snake spear, ready to fight to the death, even if it meant severely injuring himself, to eliminate one of the Fourth Heaven experts!

However, just at that moment, three whistling sounds came from behind She Zhiqing, followed by the sharp sounds of metal.

She Zhiqing sensed the danger and tried to retreat, but it was too late!

Three iron chains flew from mid-air, instantly entangling She Zhiqing's high-grade spirit snake spear!

She Zhiqing's face changed, his elemental energy surged, and the two streams of energy spiraled at the spear tip, trying to break free from the chains, but it was impossible in such a short time.

These three iron chains were originally part of the iron suspension bridge connecting the Kaiyuan and Luohui Peaks, a crucial part of the Mystic Valley Peak's protective array.

Even though the connection to the Kaiyuan Peak had been severed, these three iron chains still had their uses, especially when controlled by someone.
