Chapter 1721 - 1720: Xinghua Gully and Li Family Vineyard
The man, trembling, said, "The, the Immortals captured Old Lady Liang, to, to find someone, someone they’ve asked us to inquire about..."
"Who?"
Qin Feng asked.
"They say it’s someone with the Dragon Emperor Bloodline..."
The man replied.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng’s brows furrowed.
Many search for the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, and there are many who covet it. Unexpectedly, even those from the Upper Realm came specifically?
"Be more specific!"
Qin Feng asked again.
The man shuddered in fear, then continued, "We don’t know either, he, he just asked us to help him find someone with the Dragon Emperor Bloodline. He said that person also possesses some Divine King’s power. Once, I heard him interrogating Old Lady Liang, asking about the specific location of some ’Purple Cloud Palace,’ and something about a key..."
"Oh?"
Qin Feng couldn’t help but be surprised!
He finally understood that the target of the Upperworld Immortal’s descent into the Lower Realm was him!
Back when he obtained the Divine King in the Upper Realm, to leave the Upper Realm, he handed the "key" given by Li Tianzi to Dan Taiyun of the Purple Cloud Sect. They hid within the palace, guarding the key and engaging in secret cultivation.
Qin Feng had thought he could remain safe and sound.
Unexpectedly, the news was still leaked.
Finding all the way down to the Lower Realm.
How did they manage to locate him?
Could it be that something happened to Dan Taiyun and the others?
Qin Feng had countless questions in his heart, but seeing the man’s condition, he couldn’t learn much more.
"B-Brother, I’ve told you everything I know, please spare my life..."
The man said fearfully.
"I always keep my word." Qin Feng told him, "Go back and tell that Immortal to just wait for me quietly at home; there’s no need to run around."
"Huh??" The man paused for a moment.
Qin Feng continued, "I am the person he is looking for, the one with the Dragon Emperor Bloodline."
"...Yes, yes..."
The man was extremely frightened and, seeing that Qin Feng indeed didn’t kill him, scrambled back in fear.
After he left, Mei Niang asked Qin Feng, "Why did you do that?"
"It’s nothing, just trying to save some time."
Qin Feng shrugged.
"Oh?"
Mei Niang’s eyes lit up, saying, "So you mean to personally seek him out?"
"I must go."
Qin Feng replied.
The reason for this is twofold; first, it was known that the Upperworld Immortal had already arranged for some people from the Moonless Sword Sect and White Jade Manor to look outside for the one with the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, and he was already very well-known in all the Hidden Worlds around the globe.
Especially during the defensive battle of Lake City, almost everyone knew it was the one with the Dragon Emperor Bloodline.
So that Upperworld Immortal would soon find out.
If he couldn’t find Qin Feng at that time, he would definitely go on a rampage in Hua Country, forcing them to reveal where Qin Feng was.
So, going back to find him and settle this matter.
On the other hand,
Old Lady Liang was still in the hands of that Upperworld Immortal.
She must be rescued.
Otherwise, the idea of averting calamity cannot proceed.
"Then what’s our next plan?"
Mei Niang asked.
"Go to Mystic Void Paradise and check on their situation first." Qin Feng worriedly said.
Back then, he had lived for a while in Xinghua Gully.
Although most people later hated him deeply due to his attitude towards the Holy Daughter, he still had feelings for this place.
Moreover, according to what those people said earlier, the people from Li Family Vineyard and Xinghua Gully all hid in Mystic Void Paradise.
"Mystic Void Paradise is very secretive, you know?"
Mei Niang said.
"Of course."
Qin Feng sighed lightly.
Back then, the Holy Daughter had secretly taken him inside, disregarding Xinghua Gully’s rules, just for his illness.
From one perspective,
The transformation in his body brought by the Mystic Void Heavenly Blessed Land benefited his eventual ability to withstand the awakening of the ’Beidou Seven Stars Formation’ bloodline.
...
Inside a cave mansion.
The cave mansion was another world, surrounded by immortal mountains and flowing waterfalls, with birds and cranes singing, pavilions and towers—a scene of earthly paradise.
This was one of the Four Heavenly Blessed Lands, the Mystic Void Heavenly Blessed Land.
Since its entrance was at a cave mouth, it was also called "Mystic Void Paradise."
In the middle of the mountain was an ancient temple.
It was the main building of Mystic Void Paradise.
At this moment, the plaza before the temple was filled with people—eight hundred women from Xinghua Gully and over three hundred from Li Family Vineyard.
The reason Xinghua Gully and Li Family Vineyard could stand alongside the Moonless Sword Sect and White Jade Manor as the four great powers in Tianshan wasn’t due to their size or numbers.
It was due to their influence.
Xinghua Gully only had about eight hundred people, peaking at a bit over a thousand. Compared to sects like the Holy Soul Hall, Tang Sect, and the Shu Mountain Sect, their numbers were nearly insignificant; even an average third-rate sect had tens of thousands of people.
Yet, they only had around eight hundred.
On one hand,
They have an enduring legacy.
Like the Tang Sect, Shu Mountain Sect, and Kunlun Sect, they have a history spanning over a thousand years.
Such a foundation affords them a place in the historical annals of the Cultivation World.
Of course,
Xinghua Gully wasn’t always famous.
But a hundred years ago, during the Cultivation World War, they made a name by fighting top-tier powerhouses on land and playing a crucial role in the battle to seal the Ksitigarbha Demon.
In that time, three of the Ghost Abyss Seven Martial Evils were vanquished by them.
In short,
they may be few, but they are extremely powerful.
On the other hand, regarding Li Family Vineyard,
they virtually have no combat power.
However,
they became one of Tianshan’s four major powers because the wine they brew is Spiritual Wine.
Almost half of the Cultivation World drinks the Spiritual Wine brewed by Li Family Vineyard.
This has brought them immense wealth.
In Hua Country’s Hidden World, they could be said to be immensely wealthy.
People have attempted to rob them of their wealth.
But how could the wealthy not ensure their safety?
They purchased the best protective Magic Artifacts and the best Defensive Arrays, so those robbers met their end without even seeing their storage.
In short, their wealth cements their position as one of Tianshan’s four great powers.
Speaking of which,
Qin Feng felt a bit indebted to Li Family Vineyard.
Back then, due to his illness needing a large amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, even Beidou Old Divine Doctor was helpless, so he led Qin Feng to Li Family Vineyard to borrow some money.
The wealth of Li Family Vineyard was earned bit by bit, not by sheer luck.
There was no choice.
Beidou Old Divine Doctor simply told Li Family Vineyard about Qin Feng being the possessor of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline in secret and signed a marriage contract with them.
It was an engagement between Qin Feng and the daughter of the Li Family.
With such a son-in-law, Li Family Vineyard spared no expense in buying him large amounts of Elixir, secret manuals, Acupuncture Techniques, etc., for him to study the mysteries of the human body and comprehend the Cosmic Heavenly Dao.
They hoped that one day when Qin Feng awakened the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, Li Family Vineyard would also prosper.
Unfortunately, despite so much effort, Qin Feng only awakened the first layer of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline, and then changes occurred in Dragon and Tiger Village.
