Chapter 105

Three days later .

Qin Yun, Yi Xiao, Long Xiaolian and a turtle demon were on a cruise that headed for Golden Qin County . East Sea County, Wusu County, and Golden Qin County were three of the most prosperous counties in Jiang Prefecture . Geographically, they went from south to north .

According to Qin Yun’s original plans, they could have flown directly to Golden Qin . How fast was that?

But Long Xiaolian insisted on traveling by boat!

“Wow, how beautiful . ” Standing on the deck, Long Xiaolian looked at the banks . It was early spring and the willows had already begun budding . Occasionally, there would be a smudge of red amid the greenery along the banks . Further away were large swaths of farmland .

“This is the human world . The human world!” Long Xiaolian was excited .

Beside her, the turtle demon elder said with a smile, “In a few more days, with the flowers blooming by the shore, it will be even better . Now, the cherry blossoms are still buds and have not completely bloomed . In about a month’s time, that will be when the willows fly everywhere . It would be ugly then . “

And in an exquisite cabin on the boat .

Qin Yun and Yi Xiao sat at a tiny table, drinking and having some fruit and dessert .

“We could have flown to Golden Qin in less than an hour . Now, with the boat proceeding so slowly, it will take a few days . ” Qin Yun shook his head .

“It’s rare for Sister Long to leave the sea so naturally she finds everything fresh and new . ” Yi Xiao said, “Previously, she was busy with her trade deals and did not have the leisure to appreciate it fully . Now that she has the time, she naturally wants to enjoy herself . However, it’s almost March, and the Jiang Prefecture’s scenery is indeed pretty . “

“In terms of scenery in March, Grand Dominance is truly the best in the world . ” Qin Yun said proudly . “I have traveled the world and can guarantee that even though the neighboring Golden Qin has pretty good scenery in March, Grand Dominance has a little more flair to it . And heading north, the colors turn a little washed out . Heading east, it gets affected by the ocean . It’s Grand Dominance that is perfect in every aspect . “

Yi Xiao smiled as she nodded .

“When Sister Long returns to the East Sea, Yi Xiao, you have to spend some time in Grand Dominance . I previously mentioned that I would bring you everywhere in Grand Dominance to enjoy its delicacies but you returned to your sect so early,” said Qin Yun .

“Sure thing, after I broke through to the Connate realm, I was planning on touring the world . ” Yi Xiao naturally agreed .

Qin Yun could not help but smile .

The duo enjoyed a casual conversation as they looked at the scenery outside the boat .

…

Hu! Hu! Hu!

High in the sky, a group of avian demons was spreading their wings and flying . At the same time, they overlooked the land in every direction .

“That cultivator sure is bold . He dared kill the young lord . The great king has commanded us to capture the cultivator and torture him to death . His flesh is to be eaten and blood drank . Look carefully . Don’t let that cultivator escape . ” An avian demon barked as he studied the land beneath him .

“He won’t escape! His Majesty has given his orders and now, the demon mob is out in full force to capture him . He’s a cultivator not even in the Connate realm so how can he possibly escape?”

As the demons conversed, they were carefully searching the area .

As avian demons, their eyes were also very sharp .

“There is a bunch of farmers over there . Yellow Feathers, the few of you go take a look . See if the cultivator is hidden among them . “

“Alright . ” Immediately, five avian demons flew into the distance .

Phew .

Phew .

The five avian demons swooped down at extremely fast speeds .

The boatsman and his daughter were busy serving lunch to the guests on the front deck . At that moment, when they looked up, they saw five dots rapidly flying over . They were appalled to realize that there were five avian demons .

“Demons! Demons!” The boat’s owner and his daughter were alarmed .

“Demons?”

Qin Yun and Yi Xiao walked to the berth and came to the deck where Xiaolian and the turtle demon were . They looked up and saw five avian demons flying over rapidly .

“Demons are actually attacking? Are they going to eat people?” Long Xiaolian could not help but marvel .

“Although demons would occasionally appear in the city outskirts, it’s very unlikely to encounter them . Traveling merchants would encounter them once after dozens of trips . To many lesser merchants, it’s a calamity . ” Qin Yun looked up and watched the incoming five demons .

When the five demons approached, they noticed the four people on the deck . However, they did not have Dharma Eyes and could not recognize that Long Xiaolian and the elder were demons as well .

“What a beautiful woman . “

“Truly beautiful . “

The five avian demons were instantly attracted by Yi Xiao . As demons, the Divine Concealment Spell was useless against them .

“Hehehe, such a great beauty . The other girl might be a little young but she’s very pretty too . ” One of the five demons laughed oddly . “Kill all the men and eat their flesh . Bring the two women away! The great beauty shall be left to His Majesty and the young beauty is mine . “

“Leader, there’s a boat maiden over there too . “

“Kill them for flesh . Check them after they are dead to see if the cultivator is hidden here . “

The five avian demons were floating in front of the boat as they discussed .

The old boatsman on the boat, as well as his daughter, were trembling .

“Father . ” The boat maiden hugged the old man .

“It’s fine . It’s fine . ” Although the old boatsman said so, his body could not help but quiver . It was relatively safe from Wusu to Golden Qin . Few demons passed the water channel and it was far away from the demon lairs . He never expected to encounter demons .

“In a while, if you see things turn bad, jump off the boat immediately . Perhaps, we might still be able to live . ” The old boatsman whispered to his daughter .

His daughter was already tearing up .

Jumping off the boat to live? The demons could still kill the people in the water! The chance of surviving was extremely low .

…

“Are you going to kill us and capture us?” Long Xiaolian showed no fear and instead, took the initiative to speak .

The five avian demons were taken aback .

“Cut the nonsense . Attack!” The leader of the flying demons gave the order .

However, Qin Yun extended his hand out .

Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu! Hu!

Five blurry sword beams that resembled a drizzle flashed in midair, penetrating the five avian demons . Immediately, the demons were alarmed but following that, they reverted to their true forms, plummeting into the river as gigantic flying birds .

“Why did you kill them so quickly? I haven’t had a chance to have fun with them . ” Long Xiaolian could not help but grumble .

Qin Yun frowned as he looked into the distance .

Kilometers away, another five demons were flying towards a group of farmers . When the farmers saw the demons, they were horrified and began running in all directions . After Qin Yun entered the Connate realm, it was as though he had been reborn . He could still see well even several kilometers away if the weather was good .

“These demons . ” Qin Yun’s eyes flashed with killing intent .

Shoo!

A purple beam of light flew out from the scabbard by his waist, leaving behind a remnant shadow behind . In a blink of an eye, it appeared several kilometers away . It tore through the flying demons consecutively, revealing the demons true forms as they plummeted to the ground dead .

When these farmers saw the situation unfold, they came to a halt . They agitatedly knelt down and kowtowed . “Thank you, gods! Thank the gods for saving our lives . “

To Qin Yun, he was only doing it in passing, but to these farmers, it was their lives . They were the pillars of their family, so if they were to die, their wives and children would only have tragic outcomes .

“Whew!”

The purple light flew back into the scabbard by Qin Yun’s waist . It was an eighth-grade Dharma treasure that he exchanged with the Inspector Heavenly Alliance .

“Odd . ” Qin Yun frowned . “Wusu County and Golden Qin County are one of the top three counties in Jiang Prefecture . Furthermore, Golden Qin County is governed by the Prefecture Overseer . Demons would seldom take action there, much less be so obstreperous . “

Yi Xiao nodded as well . “We humans hold the advantage in such large counties . Demons would be clandestine when they come out, so why are they being so flagrant?”

Qin Yun nodded . “We should pay attention to our surroundings . Perhaps something has happened . “

******

And about five kilometers from where Qin Yun was .

Hong Lingtong was holding onto a wooden staff and traversing through a forest nervously . His face was pale and he could not help but cough .

“Wealth comes from taking risks . “

“In order to repair my treasure, I was really rash this time . The two risks I took previously was within my divined calculations and I escaped unscathed . This time, I killed the demon king’s only son . He’s furious and has sent demons everywhere to capture me . All my Invisibility Charms have been used up . What do I do? What should I do?” Hong Lingtong ran as he anxiously thought of solutions .

His divination spell was not omniscient .

Furthermore, the world was profound . Not everything could be divined .

As Hong Lingtong escaped for his life in panic, he searched for a way out of his peril .

“Oh?”

The moment he came to a distance exactly five kilometers from Qin Yun .

“Hum!”

The strange ancient turtle shell with cracks that floated inside his dantian began trembling, passing him new information .

“Survival is in the east! There!” Hong Lingtong looked in the direction where Qin Yun and company were on . However, the boat was five kilometers away and with trees and hills obstructing his line of sight, he could not see a thing . But Hong Lingtong knew . He knew that the chance for survival was in that direction .
