Chapter 353: The Great Demon General
"Well, I guess so." Qin Zitang hesitated and replied.
When tempering the heart, the chance of activating the ancient bloodline is still very low. However, when certain special conditions are met, not only will the success rate of tempering the heart be greatly improved, but the chance of activating the ancient bloodline can also be increased.
The Qin family’s Longtan is a special condition.
However, the matter of Qinjia Longtan involved family secrets, so Qin Zitang chose to avoid talking about it.
Qin Ziling's eyes flashed with suspicion, but he did not ask why Qin Zitang was so uncertain. Instead, he hesitated and asked, "How did the previous patriarch die?"
"There is a customary rule among the major forces in the four states that once a great demon general appears in the underground world, the local masters are obliged to join forces to kill him. Twenty-two years ago, a great demon general appeared in the underground world guarded by the Che family, and the head of the Che family invited the previous head of the family to help surround and kill him.
The Che family and the Qin family have always had a good relationship, and the former patriarch and the Che family patriarch also have a deep personal relationship. Moreover, the Grand Masters who are in charge of various parties have the responsibility to kill the Great Demon General. Therefore, the former patriarch naturally accepted the invitation and brought four middle masters of his lineage and one of the most outstanding young disciples with him.
It was to help them and to train them, after all, it was rare to see a great demon general. As a result, it was said that two great demon generals suddenly appeared in that battle, and the Qin family's detachment was the first to encounter them, and then they were annihilated. Not only did the main branch completely decline, but the Qin family was also seriously injured and its strength dropped sharply. "Qin Zitang replied.
"The other families should not have lost any grand masters. At most they lost a few mid-level masters, right?" Qin Ziling asked calmly after hearing this.
Qin Zitang nodded.
"When we entered the underground cave world that time, besides the Che family, there should have been the Xie family as well, right?" Qin Ziling continued to ask.
"There are four major families in total: the Che family, the Xie family, the Gan family and the Qin family." Qin Zitang replied.
"Are the Xie family and the Gan family originally from the same faction as the Prince's Mansion?" Qin Ziling asked again.
Qin Zitang nodded.
"After this battle, the Che family should also become the faction of the Crown Prince's Mansion, right?"
"That's right!" Qin Zitang was not surprised by Qin Ziling's question. He nodded, and a hint of grief and anger flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"A token of surrender!" Qin Ziling secretly sighed in his heart, and then said: "Doesn't the Qin family have an ancestor in the Tianyan Sect? Didn't he say anything about this matter?"
"The Qin family was completely wiped out, and there is no evidence. What can Great-aunt Gao do? Besides, our Qin family has people in Tianyan Sect. Doesn't the Xie family have anyone? Many wealthy and prominent families, once their children have the talent for Qi Refining, will try to send them to Tianyan Sect. Even if they can't enter Tianyan Sect, they will be sent to other large Qi Refining Sects.
Although once these disciples enter the Qi Refining Sect, according to the rules of the Tianyan Sect, they can no longer arbitrarily interfere in the secular power struggle, but blood ties, power desires, etc. are intricately intertwined, and it is impossible to really not interfere or cut off at will. It's just that many things are done in secret and cannot be put on the surface. "Qin Zitang sighed.
Qin Ziling was slightly shocked when he heard this, and said solemnly: "So, the current royal family must have someone in the Tianyan Sect! The Sixth Prince was able to ascend to the position of Crown Prince, I'm afraid he has a big backer in the Tianyan Sect!"
"There must be someone, but who it is, at their level, is not something I can know. And it is impossible for Great-Aunt Gao to talk to us about this." Qin Zitang said.
After saying this, both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.
"Xiao Qing and the others have gone back. Qin Xingbao has now become a core member of the family. He also went back a few days ago to receive special training from several elders of the family. With his talent, cultivation and determination, plus the careful training of the family, it is estimated that he will be able to become a master this year. What about you? What are your plans next?" After a long time, Qin Zitang broke the silence.
"I plan to hone my skills in the underground world for another thirty days before returning to Xiyun Province. During these thirty days, I may stay in the underground world the whole time, or I may come out once or twice." Qin Ziling replied.
"Stay in the cave world for thirty days?" Qin Zitang was slightly surprised when he heard this.
"The evil energy of the underground world cannot demonize me." Qin Ziling said lightly.
"Okay, just be careful. By the way, when are you planning to enter the cave world again?" Qin Zitang asked.
"Right now!" Qin Ziling replied.
The four golden corpses would need a lot of magic blood crystals to improve their strength, so Qin Ziling wanted to sweep the cave world alone for another twenty days to see if there were any good gains.
"Okay!" Qin Zitang nodded.
…
After entering
The speed of the four birds is now getting faster and faster, flying in the dim cave world like a golden lightning across the sky.
Not long after, Qin Ziling came to a black "screen" that seemed to extend infinitely horizontally and ripple from time to time.
This "screen" is connected to the sky, completely blocking the road ahead.
After training in the Fulao Pass Underground Cave World for half a year, Qin Ziling has visited almost every corner here except for the dark and dangerous place that he dare not enter. He knows that the Fulao Pass Underground Cave World has such a "screen" on all four sides.
This is also the passage from the Fulaoguan Cave World to other cave worlds.
"I wonder which underground world this passage leads to?" Qin Ziling muttered to himself, but still stepped in without hesitation.
His eyes went dark, then slightly brightened, and Qin Ziling found himself in another strange underground world.
Qin Ziling remembered his current location and began to wander around in this strange underground world.
In a blink of an eye, twenty-eight days passed.
Qin Ziling swept from one cave world to another, and finally returned to the first cave world connected to Fulao Pass.
During these twenty-eight days, Qin Ziling hunted down seven small demon generals and one medium demon general. The number was not large, but he unexpectedly obtained a lot of elixirs unique to the cave world.
The most precious ones are two seven-leaf earth spirit red grasses, and the other precious ones are the Jiuyou Fruit and Diquan Lotus, two spiritual medicines that are close to the blood essence of fifth-grade intermediate alien beasts.
"Sure enough, sweeping the cave world is a tough job!" Qin Ziling couldn't help but shake his head when he thought about how hard he worked to carry out a carpet sweep in the cave world, but the gains were so little.
Fortunately, others didn’t know what Qin Ziling was thinking, otherwise they would have jumped up and scolded him.
Because most of the masters would never be able to gain so much even if they swept through the cave world in their entire lifetime!
Shaking his head, Qin Ziling was about to step over the black "screen" and return to the Fulaoguan cave world when he suddenly felt a powerful energy fluctuation in the distance.
The fluctuation of the energy aura even made Qin Ziling feel a little palpitated for some reason.
"Great Demon General!" Qin Ziling's eyes suddenly lit up, with a hint of expectation and solemnity in his eyes.
The reason why he chose to continue wandering in the cave world for thirty days was actually because he had the fluke of hunting down a big demon general.
His intuition told him that as long as they obtained the blood crystal of the Great Demon General, the four heads would definitely be able to break through and become high-level golden corpses. If Ape Da and Ape Er could get some of it, they should be able to touch the threshold of high-level golden corpses.
It’s a pity that there are too few great demon generals. It is estimated that one may only appear once every ten to twenty years.
So as for the gains of these twenty-eight days, Qin Ziling just shook his head and sighed, and was not surprised at all.
As a result , he never expected that when he was about to give up, he actually felt a trace of the breath fluctuation of the great demon general.
