Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 686 – Return of Real People

Fortunately, An Zheng had a super abnormal scalpel like the Broken Army Sword. Otherwise, it would be impossible to cut the outer skin of a top demonic beast like Qiong Qi. Even if it was a cultivator that was a stage stronger than An Zheng, without sucowerful weapon, there were not many ways to obtain the skin of a Qiong Qi.

An Zheng was like a butcher, his entire body was covered in blood. After cutting open the outer skin, he retrieved the Swelling Earth. Luckily, the blood inside the blood vessels under the outer skin had already completely disappeared, and An Zheng had only stuck a lot of it onto his skin when he cut open the outer skin. Searching for a crystal core in Qiong Qi’s hundred-meter-long body was actually not an easy task.

Fortunately, no one fought with An Zheng, and only after more than two hours did An Zheng finally cut off Qiong Qi’s outer skin, found the Demonic Beast Cores, threw away his flesh and organs, and put away his bones. It was tiring, but the thought of these skins and bones being sold foigh price made him feel less tired.

After packing up, An Zheng returned to the Hollow Jade Temple. In the distance, he saw that the broken umbrella was already put away, disappearing withourace.

“This place is protected by that saint artifact. You can stay here for now.”

An Zheng took out some medicinal herbs and pills from the Blood Pearl Bracelet s. “Leaving these here for you guys is enough to improve your physique. Da... Brother Da, your physique is actually still alright. This pill is for you to cultivate with. ”

An Zheng passed a piece of Heavenly Goblin Beast over to Da Jiba: “This is also for you to bring along for their cultivation. “Besides, I beg of you, please change your name.”

Da Jiba: “...”

An Zheng glanced at Lenticular Butterfly: “Your physique has already awakened, so you don’t need to follow me in cultivation, but I recognize you as my disciple. Stay here and meditate for a year, then go home and fetch your mother. “One year later, with your cultivation, although it’s not enough to roam the martial arts world, no one can stop you if you take your mother away.”

An Zheng took out a cultivation technique and handed it over to the Lenticular Butterfly: “This is a cultivation technique that I wrote down based on your physique. These four words were the only shortcut to cultivation. I still have something to take care of, so I can’t stay here. ”

Lenticular Butterfly kneeled down: “Greetings, Master.”

An Zheng waved his hand, “There’s no need. This is the Hollow Jade Temple, one of the once sacred grounds of the Dao Sect. Here, with the protection of the Holy Equipment, the Goblin Beasts from the inner world would not dare to enter. Therefore, the one you need to be wary of, is humans. ”

An Zheng glanced at Da Jiba, “You are a good person, and good people will always be rewarded. I can’t control life and death in a few decades, but I can give you more now. ”

He took out some banknotes. With a frightening amount of money, he said, “There is no need to worry about money. However, you must remember that only people who spend money will be able to do so.”

An Zheng took a bath and changed his clothes, the treasures on Qiong Qi’s body had to be sold. Furthermore, if An Zheng wanted to go to the Jinling to find Chen Zhongqi, only the people from the big families in the Jinling would be able to afford it. Furthermore, when he fought the inner world’s summoner in the future, he would be able to use the leather armor and bones of top tier beasts like Qiong Qi to kill those summoner. This was truly a good deal.

After An Zheng finished packing up, he bid farewell to Da Jiba and the Lenticular Butterfly, and left the Hollow Jade Temple, walking down the mountain path. As he walked, An Zheng thought about it. Although the State of Yan was currently considered safe in the reverse boat, it was still not too safe. An Zheng’s plan was to reverse the ship and turn it into a genuine peerless battleship. Not only could he protect himself, he could hide himself, and he could even become a war machine.

Once they were discovered, the people inside the ship simply didn’t have the ability to protect themselves. Although there were citizens of a country inside, even if all the people that could be trained were trained out, it would only amount to a few hundred thousand people. An Zheng had a long-term plan for the future. First, he went to the Jinling to meet his last enemy. He sold the Qiong Qi in exchange for a large number of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone. After all, that was a big guy and he needed Golden-Rank Spirit Stono maintain it.

After that, he would take a walk around the northern plains. There were a large number of demon beasts that were suitable to become mounts in the northern plains. An Zheng planned to upgrade the strongest rider in the State of Yan, Tie Liuhuo, and change their mounts to Demonic Beasts. This way, Tie Liuhuo’s fighting strength would increase.

Then there was the transformation of the ship. Right now, the only ability of the ship was to hide, without any powerful weapons to protect themselves. An Zheng planned to discuss it with the Oldman Huo after he sent back the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone that he obtained from selling off the Qiong Qi. He wanted to see if he could come up with some powerful defensive weapons using the Stellar Cast Iron in his hands along with some high-level magic tools.

Last time, An Zheng used Stellar Cast Iron s to creatowerful spirit lightning to get rid of the Left Swordhall, so he still had a lot left. Even if it was these Stellar Cast Iron, they would be able to sell for a sky-high price in the Da Xi world. It was just that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Da Xi Empire. With the appearance of such a large treasure deposit like An Zheng, it was possible that he would be killed.

So this time, An Zheng planned to play big time.

Now that the Heavenly Awakening Sect had opened a sect inside the Da Xi city, although they were only living in an inn for the time being because they were worried about being found out, a large number of elite Heavenly Awakening Sect disciples had already infiltrated into the Da Xi city. An Zheng had obtained the Jadeheart Eastern Aura and the Heavenly Demon Beast Slaughter, so he knew a lot of things about the Hollow Jade Temple back then like the back of his hand, so he planned to change his identity and go back.

An Zheng found a way to contact Ye Yudao and the others in Xiushui City and gathered 200 of Heavenly Awakening Sect’s elite disciples. And because Chen Shaobai and Du Shoushou had appeared too often in the Da Xi Empire, An Zheng did not call them over.

An Zheng stopped alace called Dingbo City, three thousand kilometers away from the Great Xi city. After five days, all of the disciples that came to visit had arrived. In order to ensure that no one was able to find out their identity, An Zheng had activated the people that were meticulously selected by the Heavenly Awakening Sect, and they were all unfamiliar faces. Seeing the legendary Lord Sect Master for the first time, these disciples were all very excited.

The person who had brought all these disciples here was outside of An Zheng’s expectations … Gu Qianye.

Other than Gu Qianye, there was also Ye Jiu’s disciple Ye Xiaoxin, a high levelled hermit from State of Yan named Qiu Bie Li. He was a scholar who seemed to be gentle and refined in his forties, but his cultivation was very strong and he was already at the peak of the Lower Completion Stage. There was also someone called Chen Xiaolian Jiu. His name sounded somewhat cute, but he was an extremely cold-looking youngster. His true age was already unknown, because he still had another identity, Chen Xiaoyao’s Sword Slave, ranked ninth.

Other than the two of them, there was also a masked man called Du Xu who was groomed by the Heavenly Awakening Sect. This person’s talent was not bad, and his cultivation advanced swiftly. Chen Shaobai would occasionally give pointers, and Du Shoushou would occasionally give pointers. Furthermore, he had learned a thousand sets of skills from Zhong Jiuge. Not long after, Zhong Jiuge would also bring the people he had trained out to rush to Jinling to meet up with An Zheng.

This was a big picture. An Zheng would play it big once.

After meeting up with the crowd in Dingbo City, An Zheng gave the disciples a meeting to tell them how to reveal his identity. After putting on the Daoist robes that he had created in Xiushui City, no one could find any flaws with them. Furthermore, their dao robes were very different from the Great Xixi Dao Sect. An Zheng studied the ancient cultivator’s attire and drew a blueprint for them to create the daoist robes.

It was very ancient and simple. The words “Jade Void” were embroidered on each disciple’s chest. An Zheng then brought out the Jade-eyed Golden Eyes Beast that was about to age in the reverse boat out, just to help him pull the carriage.

Actually, An Zheng had been wearing a mask when he first entered Jin’ling. Thus, this time, he directly returned with his true appearance. After three days in Dingbo City, the team confirmed that all the details had been worked out and set out on their journey. An Zheng told all disciples that they must memorize everything related to the Hollow Jade Temple, and that they absolutely must not make any mistakes.

The Jade-Eyed Golden Eyes Beast was only second to the Eye of Nine Incarnations, and was ranked second among the top demonic beasts in terms of strength. Every time it was pulled by Du Shoushou, it would beaeavy responsibility that would cause it to feel a little sad about it. (TL: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU)))))) The horse carriage was brought from the opposite boat, and there was no trace of it. Now, the emblem of the Hollow Jade Temple was drawn on the wall. This car was actually Chen Xiaoyao’s, and it was extremely powerful.

Other than this extremely flashy carriage, all the disciples of Heavenly Awakening Sect were on white horses. And these white horses were all of extraordinary quality, and looked extremely majestic. These white horses were purchased by people on the way back from Mo Gan Mountain. Although they looked like ordinary white war horses, they actually had the blood of demon beasts on them. Not only was their speed surprisingly fast, they could even explode …

The two hundred plus people majestically left Dingbo City, heading towards Jinling. The two hundred cultivators in black robes were riding a handsome white horse and guarding a black metal war chariot. They looked extremely eye-catching. The people of Da Xi all respected the Dao Sect very much. Although the Zhang Zhenjun of the Wudang Mountain had an Imperial Advisor in his name, he never asked about court affairs.

Therefore, on the way, all the passersby saw that they were all avoiding him. There were also many believers kneeling by the side of the road, worshipping him. Even though the faith in the Dao Sect from the Great Xi was not as sincere as the faith in the Buddhist Sect from the people in the Western Regions, there was no lack of true believers.

After only walking a few hundred kilometers, the news thaeam from a mysterious sect was going to the Jinling spread. Only those who had good intentions could confirm that the group was one of the inheritances of the Dao Sect that had disappeared for ten thousand years … Hollow Jade Temple.

An Zheng wore a very fitting daoist robe, also black, but both the collar and cuffs had red runic patterns. He had sewn the robe based on the records in the jade void, so there were absolutely no flaws. Furthermore, there were probably only a handful of people who were familiar with the style of the Daoist robe in the Hollow Jade Temple right now.

“Your Majesty.”

Gu Qianye also changed intobe, and then cupped her fists and bowed to An Zheng: “This time, we are going to the Jinling, is it for our public or private fees huh. If it was for a public expense, Heavenly Awakening Sect wouldn’t have this amount of money to spend. I think it’s not luxurious enough. ”

An Zheng rolled his eyes at her: “Xiao Liu’er couldn’t stand you anymore, right? You ran out here.”

Gu Qianye curled her lips: “Who am I? If I want to come out, who can stop me? Furthermore, I have to watch over you on behalf of the Xiao Liu’er.

An Zheng did not dare to speak anymore.

Outside the horse carriage, Chen Xiaolian and Qiu Bie were riding on white horses, one on the left and one on the right. Both of them appeared to be Protectors. Du Xu was in charge of driving the carriage, while Ye Xiaoxin was in charge of driving the carriage.

The team only entered the Jinling after a month, the effect that An Zheng wanted had more or less been achieved. Because they had not even arrived at the Jinling, a few Dao Sect branches had already been waiting outside the city. When they heard that the Hollow Jade Temple had reappeared, they wanted to see if it was real or fake. If this were true, it was likely that this would be the biggest event for the Dao Sect in the past few years.

The people of the True Martial Temple, white tower view, Void Temple, and Zongshi were all here. Furthermore, the level of the people present was not low. Not only had they come, even the Great Western Holy See had sent officials of the Ministry of Rites to welcome them.

Along the way, An Zheng had only casually revealed a few tricks, which caused the news of the Hollow Jade Temple’s Daoist being extremely powerful to go viral. Therefore, neither the government nor the Dao Sect dared to express their doubt from the start.

He held onthick book in his hands. Seeing the people from the Hollow Jade Temple coming over, he excitedly flipped through the pages of the book with trembling hands, sizing up An Zheng’s group with the records in the book. A few minutes later, tears started to flow down his face, “He’s really a disciple of the Hollow Jade Temple, he’s really a disciple of the Hollow Jade Temple! It can’t be wrong, it can’t be wrong. This ancient book only has one in my hands, if anyone else wanted to pretend to be a disciple of the Hollow Jade Temple, they wouldn’t have done it in such a manner! ”

Trembling, he walked over and bowed. “Welcome back, Daoist Master Hollow Jade Temple!”
