Chapter 70: Obtaining the Lingguang Shield Talisman! Magic Artifact Materials! Jin King's Schemes! Li Qiye's Fortuitous Encounter!

At this moment, Chen Kun was utterly terrified.

He couldn't understand how a boy from Qingniu Town, who once couldn't survive, had become so powerful?

"Run!"

Right now, Chen Kun's only thought was to escape!

Originally, he wanted revenge, but the blade light Qin Wang had just displayed, glowing with a terrifying red light, was far beyond his own cultivation level.

Staying would only mean death!

Better to seek help from his cousin in the immortal sect!

With this in mind, Chen Kun's figure flashed and quickly fled into the distance.

"Chen Kun!"

"Where do you think you're going?"

Seeing Chen Kun trying to escape, Qin Wang shouted fiercely, using the Flying Eagle Technique to chase after him.

The two raced one after the other, spanning over hills and rivers.

Qin Wang's Flying Eagle Technique, powered by his magical energy, was much faster than Chen Kun. In no time, the distance between them had shrunk to just one zhang!

"What do I do? He's getting closer and closer!"

"How did this little bastard cultivate?"

Feeling Qin Wang getting closer and closer, Chen Kun grew more panicked. As he fled, his internal energy gradually depleted. Thinking of this, Chen Kun, with a pained expression, reached into his bosom and took out a three-inch-long talisman paper, inscribed with a circular halo symbol.

"When the Immortal bestowed this upon me, he said that this Lingguang Shield would activate a protective halo in times of danger, saving my life once!"

Recalling the Immortal's words when he received the Lingguang Shield Talisman, Chen Kun gripped it tightly, desperately fleeing.

"Running pretty fast, huh?"

"Better kill you sooner and be done with it!"

Qin Wang, watching Chen Kun fleeing desperately, with a cold gleam in his eyes, took out an iron tube, aimed it at Chen Kun's back, and pressed the trigger!

Immediately, a burst of Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles shot out!

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, Qin Wang noticed a pale yellow halo flashing on Chen Kun's body, looking very mysterious.

The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles hit the halo and bounced off, falling to the ground!

Chen Kun was completely unharmed!

"Lingguang Shield!"

Seeing the halo on Chen Kun, Qin Wang immediately recalled the intelligence that this was bestowed by an elder of the immortal sect. Without stopping, he continued to chase and said coldly, "Chen Kun, this is a gift from an immortal sect elder, right? So what if you have a turtle shell? Heh, let's see how long your internal energy lasts!"

"Is Heaven really going to kill me, Chen Kun?!"

Chen Kun's heart sank at these words but dared not look back.

As Qin Wang said, his internal energy was almost exhausted.

The Lingguang Shield could protect him from harm, but for how long?

With his energy depleted, he wouldn't escape, how could he resist this little bastard?

The two continued to race forward.

Soon, they entered the mountains, surrounded by lush trees. Chen Kun, gripping his sword in one hand and the Lingguang Shield Talisman in the other, leaned against a tree by a mountain stream, gasping for breath like a bellows. Looking at Qin Wang, his eyes showed despair.

His internal energy was depleted, he couldn't run anymore.

Though the Lingguang Shield still protected him, Qin Wang couldn't kill him for now.

"Chen Kun, keep running if you can!"

Qin Wang watched Chen Kun without attacking further.

With the Lingguang Shield, further attacks would be futile, wasting energy. He also tried to snatch the Lingguang Shield Talisman, but it was tightly held by Chen Kun, protected by a faint yellow halo, making it unreachable.

Helpless, Qin Wang decided to wait for the shield to dissipate. Since they were deep in the mountains with no one around, once the shield was gone, Chen Kun's death was certain.

Chen Kun glared at Qin Wang venomously, silent.

"Let's see if you die!"

Suddenly, Qin Wang had an idea. He took out a cloth pouch the size of a fist, lit it with a fire starter, and held it close to Chen Kun's nose.

"Qin Wang!!"

"You beast! Die horribly! Ahhh!!!"

Seeing Qin Wang forcing the scattering poison to his nose, Chen Kun's eyes filled with terror and anger. He turned his face away, struggling to stand, but fell repeatedly, weakly crawling forward.

"Curse all you want, you have a turtle shell, but I don't believe I can't drown you!"

Qin Wang strode forward, grabbed Chen Kun's legs, and dragged him towards the mountain stream!

The Lingguang Shield protected Chen Kun from harm, but what about water?

Could it drown him?

The already weakened Chen Kun had his face rubbed and smashed against rocks by the stream, the shield flashing.

Qin Wang quickly dragged Chen Kun to the stream and pressed him into three feet of water, the shield flashing.

"You little bastard, even as a ghost, I will...mm...mm..."

Chen Kun struggled, but exhausted, he soon stopped moving. Qin Wang checked and found Chen Kun lifeless.

The talisman in his hand fell, floating in the water.

"Seems like the shield's time is up."

Qin Wang picked up the now-useless talisman, its circle gone, leaving a blank yellow paper.

"Intelligence says Chen Kun has another talisman!"

Thinking of this, Qin Wang searched the dead Chen Kun, finding a cloth pouch with silver notes and another faint yellow talisman!

This talisman, about three inches long and two inches wide, with a circular halo, emanated a mysterious glow.

"Lingguang Shield!"

Qin Wang took a deep breath and kept the talisman.

After ensuring Chen Kun was truly dead, he left.

In Jinzhou, the Jin King Mansion.

Jin King Cang Tianxiong, dressed in white, stood in the mansion's square, gazing into the distance, deep in thought.

"Your Majesty!"

"We've identified the siblings who killed Governor Yun. The sister is Qin Xuemei, and the brother is Qin Wang!"

"Based on their exposure of Lord Zhuo's secrets as Bai Xiao Shenjun and Tianji Pavilion, skilled in scattering poison, we suspect a hidden force behind them!"

At this moment, a black-armored general respectfully reported.

"They knew all of Governor Yun's secrets? Investigate these siblings first!"

"I am very interested in Bai Xiao Shenjun and Tianji Pavilion!"

Cang Tianxiong's eyes flashed as he spoke.

If he could connect with Tianji Pavilion, exposing secrets of the officials of Da Cang would be much easier.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The general bowed and left.

Half a month later, in Jinzhou, Chiyong County, the former site of the Voodoo Gang.

After a battle with Yang Yuting, the Voodoo Gang was wiped out, its territory divided between Qinglong Society and Shahu Gang.

In the early morning, Qin Wang sat cross-legged in a room at Jinsheng Inn, looking at his panel.

[Daily Intelligence Refreshed!]

[Today's Intelligence]

1) You recently touched the Lingguang Shield Talisman obtained from Chen Kun, worried it had a tracking mark from the Taiyi Sword Sect elder. The intelligence reveals it's the lowest level talisman given casually by the elder, with no mark, safe to use.

2) Yesterday, you touched the Lingguang Shield Talisman and learned it was made by Jiang Mu, a late-stage Qi Refining talisman master from Qingyun Sect, who was killed by demonic cultivator Fei Bin. Fei Bin was consumed by Jindan cultivator Zhang Long, who was then killed by Taiyi Sword Sect elder Jiang Bingyun, who obtained the talisman.

3) News of you killing Chen Kun and Governor Zhuo Qiuhang has spread. Zheng Lingyun swore to tear you to pieces upon hearing this.

4) You visited the Voodoo Gang's former site yesterday and learned Su Tianhai's treasure is at No. 18 East Street, Chiyong County, in the basement.

5) Yesterday, you touched Qingyao Shangren's Pill Guide and storage bag, learning the bag was bought at Xiaodan Mountain's Duobao Pavilion.

6) You organized your treasures and flipped through Chiyang Divine Art yesterday, learning Li Qiye, who gave you the art, has had a fortuitous encounter and entered Xiaodan Mountain.

7) Yesterday, you touched the cloth bag sewn by your sister Qin Xuemei, learning she has become the personal disciple of Wanhuamen's head Mu Qianxue, gaining many spirit stones, pills, and artifacts. She misses and worries about you.

8) Yesterday, you touched the Three Corpse Gu King jar, learning Jin Shifeng, to recover from injuries, is draining mortals' essence. Fearing pursuit by the Jinzhou Red Lotus Immortal, he decided to hide in the mountains for another month.

9) Yesterday, you touched the storage bag, learning the Xiaodan Mountain entrance is guarded this month by low-level cultivators Hu Shihan and Ding Feng.

10) Yesterday, you touched the ancient sheepskin scroll obtained from Jiang Hanyun, learning its secret requires a special method to uncover.

"This Lingguang Shield Talisman has quite a history!"

Qin Wang sighed after reading the first two pieces of intelligence.

No tracking mark, so he felt relieved.

Having killed Chen Kun's family, if the Taiyi Sword Sect elder traced the mark, he would surely die.

"The exact location of Su Tianhai's magical treasure materials has been revealed?"

"Li Qiye obtained a celestial opportunity and entered Small Dan Mountain? This... his luck is too good!"

After reading the intelligence, Qin Wang stood up. Now that he knew the location of Su Tianhai's magical treasure materials, he naturally wanted to go get them as soon as possible, then head to Small Dan Mountain.

His sister was in the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect and had obtained quite a few resources, which was a good thing. He needed to work hard too.

Early morning, as the sun was just rising.

Golden light fell on him like swords, as if coating him in a layer of golden radiance.

"So this is the material for refining magical treasures?"

"It's so small, isn't it a bit inadequate for crafting a magical treasure?"

Qin Wang stood on a river embankment in Chiyong County, looking at a black, iron-like object in his hand, irregular in shape and only as big as a fingernail, muttering to himself.

This thing.

Though small, it weighed about five jin, quite extraordinary. No wonder Su Tianhai had kept it.

"Let's go."

Qin Wang looked towards the rising sun on the horizon, took a deep breath, and sped off towards the Tianwu Mountain Range at the border of Jin Province and Yun Province.

The intelligence indicated.

The entrance to Small Dan Mountain was in the Tianwu Mountain Range.
