Night Without End-Chapter 358 - 222 No Overnight Grudges_2

Ordinary cultivators are completely unaware of the specific situation, but a few famous figures know that the strong ones on the Immortal Road should have gained extremely valuable information during this trial.

The locked cicada shed made a sound: "Posthumous descendants, with ambitions in the Forbidden Land, really are remarkable. Hmm, is he aiming to swallow all mythological legends across the entire Kunleng Territory? Quite the audacious spirit!"

In an instant, the rune gold rope binding it began to burn, with a cracking sound, almost severing it.

Cao Qianqiu stepped forward, white mist steaming, the auspicious light surging from the celestial spear, with a bang piercing it, then a vigorous shake causing part of the cicada shed to explode.

"Posthumous descendants, truly irascible, can’t even tolerate an old cicada’s shed skin? Beware you might be kicked apart by future generations someday for underestimating the elderly," the cicada shed spoke.

Cao Qianqiu said: "A discarded shed skin trying to front before me, if your real body came, saying such words I might take seriously."

He shook the celestial spear forcefully, like flames burning the heavens, Pure Yang Spirit Light illuminating the highland, the cicada shed cracked, then completely exploded, destroyed.

Kunling City, everyone witnessing this felt the terror of that spear.

Even separated by such a distance, their hearts trembled, as if that spear hit their hearts.

Sun Taichu spoke: "A relic shed is nothing, just afraid the cicada isn’t dead yet, it may reappear."

Cao Qianqiu replied: "When it emerges, I will be stronger than now, as long as I stand firmly at the forefront of this road, there’s nothing to fear."

Typically, the two don’t get along, having serious arguments, even slamming the table, but now there’s no conflict.

Cao Qianqiu asked: "Have people from other roads arrived, will there be a battle today, when to sweep through this highland?!"

His voice was grand, shattering the night fog, his killing intent reverberating throughout the entire territory.

Kunling City, the people were fearful, indeed, Cao Qianqiu’s arrival immediately broke the longstanding calm, eager for action.

"Cao Qianqiu, really think you’re invincible in the world? Dare to come and try..." Deep within the highland, a giant beast the size of a small mountain spoke, confronting him.

"Noisy!" Cao Qianqiu stepped forward, enveloped by a bloody Big Sun, in a flash, he reached the highland depths, directly going to slaughter the giant beast.

This time, he swung his right fist fiercely, blood light like tearing through the entire world, shaking the earth, blood-colored thunder everywhere.

With a boom, the small mountain-sized giant beast exploded.

A giant demon, immensely powerful, usually looking down on experts of various roads, shaking the entire highland, was easily blown apart by Cao Qianqiu.

Roar!

A huge roar sounded, making people far in Kunling City feel splitting headaches, sensing their consciousness on the verge of explosion.

The auspicious beast stepped out, when it opened its eyes, they resembled two rounds of golden fierce suns hanging in the sky, its aura incomparably strong.

Instantly, golden radiance surged, the territory was drowned by the divine light it emitted, making it hard for people to look directly, the ground and sky both trembling.

The highland resembled a painting, seemingly about to be torn apart.

The auspicious beast swiped down a massive claw, like the heavens tipping, covering the front, rapidly falling.

Clang!

Cao Qianqiu thrust the spear out, unexpectedly forcefully blocking the auspicious beast.

At this moment, Sun Taichu, the experts of Esoteric Buddhism all stepped forward.

Behind the auspicious beast, appeared two figures as if standing in an abyss, their aura terrifying, like a dam-breaking ocean, overwhelming Evil Qi rushing fiercely.

Indeed, the auspicious beast had invited unfathomable experts.

In blinding light, both sides briefly clashed, earth-shattering, finally, both retreated again.

People in Kunleng Territory couldn’t see the specific situation there, their view filled only with light.

The experts from Esoteric Buddhism didn’t want the highland destroyed, asked Cao Qianqiu to cease, waiting for their camp to gather before truly battling the auspicious beast.

Sun Taichu also said: "Stop, the Third Forbidden Zone at the highland’s end is odd, quite dangerous, unsuitable for a decisive battle today, preparation is needed."

He suspected there might be a crisis hinted in "Kunleng’s Divine Record" within the Third Forbidden Zone!

Moreover, he believed the Third Forbidden Zone might contain remnants of god-like creatures in decline.

"I’ll let you off!" Cao Qianqiu gazed into the depths of the highland.

"Cao Qianqiu, don’t act like you’re invincible, if this battle erupts, guaranteed to take you down!" The auspicious beast spoke.

"What did you say?!" Cao Qianqiu pointed, and thousands of runes appeared, forming a gigantic bag that enveloped the depths of the highland like a canopy.

The auspicious beast hadn’t moved yet, but a demon beside it gleamed with dark light, extending a giant claw towards the bag in the sky.

In the end, the demon was bloodied, almost getting captured by the Ten Thousand Talisman Bag.

"Brother Cao, after your retreat, your Taoist skills have improved once again!" The expert from the Esoteric Buddhism showed astonishment, feeling that Cao Qianqiu surpassed his former self after suddenly emerging from his closed-door cultivation.

...

A massive showdown was on the verge of erupting but temporarily halted. Eventually, both sides retreated, seemingly awaiting reinforcements.

That day, more experts arrived on the Immortal Road, with the Chunyang Consciousness Radiance tearing through the dark night sky.

The next day, a master from the Newborn Road hovered in the air, a manifestation of pure Heavenly Light, causing all the Immortal Road Disciples to tremble uncontrollably, feeling as though their consciousness was about to ignite.

Luckily, the Great Sun formed by the Heavenly Light vanished in an instant.

The Esoteric Buddhism was very proactive, with an old senior involved in road expansion personally arriving, attaching great importance to the matter because it involved their "core interests."

The atmosphere in the Kunleng Territory was tense, and a massive showdown could erupt at any moment!

"The arrival of Cao Qianqiu disrupted a certain balance. Originally, I wanted to start from the ground up, but now it’s impossible; a final showdown is imminent!"

"I think, as a precaution, the disciples in the academy should withdraw."

There was a consensus among various academies that the younger generation couldn’t participate at this time.

Moreover, some old seniors were slightly worried, fearing the great battle might impact Kunling City, prompting them to make the worst-case preparations.

Qin Ming and Xiao Wu received the news in advance, bewildered. They had just arrived in Kunling City, and now they had to make a "strategic" retreat?

No one expected that under such tense circumstances, it was Cao Qianqiu who was the first to leave!

The Chixia surged, his Chunyang Consciousness Radiance traversed the night sky as he temporarily left the Kunleng region.

This was beyond everyone’s expectations. Naturally, people didn’t think he was afraid. With his domineering nature, he always liked to break the iron board, especially when at an advantage.

"What does this Slaughter Knife of the Immortal Road want to do, what madness is it on?" An old senior was puzzled, staring at the direction in which Cao Qianqiu left.

In fact, every move of Cao Qianqiu would attract much attention, and his departure sparked widespread discussion.

Not long after, someone traced his trajectory, somewhat surprised that he headed towards a remote place.

"Black and White Mountain, it seems he is heading there!"

Suddenly, many people drew associations.

Last time, after Cao Qianqiu hunted the centipede that wanted to become a god, he went to the Black and White Mountain "for nostalgia," but seemed to suffer greatly, leaving injured.

"This time, after his retreat, Cao Qianqiu’s strength has improved. Is he going there for revenge? That fits his character!"

Many people guessed his purpose.

People couldn’t help but sigh; he truly acted on a whim, doing as he pleased. Even with such tension in the Kunleng Territory, he didn’t care and headed to Black and White Mountain alone.

"He might not be going alone; I suspect he has recruited support in Kunleng, so this time he returns to Black and White Mountain with murderous intent."

Even so, many people remained speechless, his vendetta was too strong, not wanting to wait a moment longer!

"You’re all wrong, Cao Qianqiu doesn’t hold grudges because throughout his life, he rarely leaves grudges overnight."

"He’s going there immediately after his retreat to not leave a grudge."

Only a few dared to joke about him in secret.

Some also suspected that Black and White Mountain held unknown great fortunes, and Cao Qianqiu couldn’t wait, heading there immediately after his retreat to attempt to seize them.

When Qin Ming heard this news, he frowned. The old madman was going to Shuangshu Village again, and he worried for those familiar people.

The last time Cao Qianqiu was injured because Old Man Liu pointed out a problem above Shuangshu Village that once stained a kite with blood.

In fact, this time Cao Qianqiu went to Shuangshu Village again and encountered Old Man Liu, who was grinning at him.

This is the last Chapter for today, more to come tomorrow. My biggest wish for 2025 is to adjust my schedule properly. I’ve been sleeping earlier lately, hopefully moving away from late nights gradually. Thank you to all Book Friends for your support. (This section is not counted in the paid word count)
