Chapter 171: The Collapse of Ku Mountain! (1)

There were hundreds of miles to go from the Bottomless Cave to the Feng Shen Sea.

Luo Jianqing didn’t remember the exact location of the relic of Mo’s ancestor, so he could only search for it out of his vague memory and meanwhile, shun away from the Ku Mountain. As the mountain was quite near to his destination, Luo Jianqing had to be very cautious to stay away from it.

They saw few cultivators all the way.

Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi didn’t rest and just sped up. Twelve consecutive days later, they finally saw that vast sea in the distance.

They could feel the fierce astral wind even five kilometers away from the Feng Shen Sea. The wind, as sharp as a sword that could kill a man in an instant, blew towards Luo Jianqing forcefully. Although the wind could not penetrate his ward, it still made Luo Jianqing frown.

Xuan Lingzi asked, “Is the relic close by?”

Luo Jianqing shook his head first, and then nodded, “It’s indeed in the nearby sea, but master, the sea is almost two thousand and five hundred wide, and I don’t know its exact location, so we may have to search carefully.”

Xuan Lingzi said, “Then let’s do it. If anything happens in Tai Hua Mountain, Yu Qingzi will crumb the Message Stone to inform us.”

Luo Jianqing nodded.

So, they began to look for the relic around the Feng Shen Sea. Over the next ten days, Luo Jianqing had looked through one third of the sea, with nothing found. He had been extremely careful, as he might easily step into the nearby Ku Mountain, which was an uncertain threat to him and his master.

Luo Jianqing had asked Xuan Lingzi, “Master, are you really not sure to be able to walk out of the Ku Mountain?”

Xuan Lingzi thought for a while and replied, “I’ve heard from your grand master that three thousand years ago, a master of Fei Hua Sect just stayed in that mountain for three days and lost his soul. Before he dead, even his primordial life failed to escape. I have never been there, so I don’t know how dangerous it is. We’d better stay away from it.”

Luo Jianqing understood and nodded.

In the tenth day, Luo Jianqing had exhausted every method, yet he still didn’t know the location. He even began to consider two bold ways. The first way was to secretly follow Li Xiuchen to the Northern Land of Arctic at the end of the year, but that would make this journey in vain. The second one was to literally search every corner of the Feng Shen Sea, and no result could be guaranteed.

As they searched for the relic, they had been very close to step into the mountain for several times, but Xuan Lingzi reacted quickly and prevented that.

However, the danger of the Ku Mountain was far beyond Xuan Lingzi’s expectation.

In the morning of the eleventh day, they walked fast along the mountain range between the Feng Shen Sea and Ku Mountain. Suddenly, they heard a huge noise and an overwhelming shake came between the Heaven and Earth! The horrible shock wave seemed to materialize. It compressed the air and rush towards them with the irresistible momentum!

At this moment, even Xuan Lingzi was looking at the range of Ku Shan Mountain with eyes opened wide, let alone Luo Jianqing.

They just witnessed a medium-height mountain collapse in a second among the long, central range! It happened in a blink without any sign. It seemed that the mountain was determined to collapse into crushed stones and produced tremendous power attacking Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi.

Luo Jianqing was shocked, “Master!”

Xuan Lingzi immediately shouted, “Move!”

Right after that, Xuan Lingzi grasped Luo Jianqing’s hand at once. Then, a golden light flashed out from his forehead, and the Xuan Ling Sword carried them to fly forward at an incredible speed, yet not quick enough to escape from the remaining waves of the collapse.

They were really unlucky this time.

Before that, ordinary people would not get close to the Ku Mountain, and were less likely to linger around there. However, today, Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi just happened to walk close to it and a little bit far from the Feng Shen Sea. Moreover, they were near to where the collapse occurred.

Luo Jianqing’s throat was dry and he could clearly feel the horrible power behind him, which he wasn’t able to resist at all. As he was baffled, he heard Xuan Lingzi saying something, “It seems that the disaster in the Northern Land of Arctic is caused by the collapse of the Ku Mountain, but why does it come earlier, why does it come earlier… Jianqing, the whole mess will last for a whole month. You mustn’t get close to the Ku Mountain.”

Luo Jianqing was confused by these words and he couldn’t really catch on.

Xuan Lingzi sped up again, and they surpassed three or four cultivators. Although these cultivators had been quite far from the range when the collapse happened, they would still be affected. When they saw Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi, they cried for help to give them a ride, yet Xuan Lingzi didn’t stop at all, leaving them swallowed by the shock waves.

In face of such a catastrophe, he couldn’t even be sure of his own safety, how could he save others?!

Luo Jianqing saw those cultivators engulfed by the waves.

Xuan Lingzi said in a low voice, “This power is at least equivalent to the ultimate blow of an early-stage Deity Transformation Period cultivator.”

Luo Jianqing suddenly realized, “Master, can you fight against it?”

Xuan Lingzi said, “Jianqing, there are too many of them. I can’t do it by myself, so prepare for the worst.”

Hearing that, Luo Jianqing looked up at Xuan Lingzi with baffled eyes. He felt that something was wrong, but before he could figure it out, Xuan Lingzi gave him a smack on his chest, and Luo Jianqing surprisingly gazed at him with widened eyes.

Xuan Lingzi shouted, “Tell Yu Qingzi! The collapse of the Ku Mountain is just a beginning! In the following month, if you can leave the territory of the Feng Shen Sea, by all means ask everyone to pull out of the Northern Land of Arctic. You can come back to me half a year later!”

The smack did no harm to Luo Jianqing, but he was thrown far away.

The power of the collapse was just like a tsunami, gobbling up every piece of Xuan Lingzi.

Luo Jianqing could only hear the deafening noise in his brain. He saw everything, while he could do nothing but be thrown away by Xuan Lingzi’s smack to a place beyond the reach of those waves.

“Master!!!”
