Chapter 529: Chapter 521 Primitive Tribe

“`Some people jokingly said that the name of this sect was chosen to cover up some ugliness. It was said that the main city of the No Peak Sect was located in a flat area, where a giant peak with its top severed stood.

The peak was over two thousand meters tall, looking as if someone had used a sword to slice off half of it, leaving only a base.

This land had once seen many powerful immortals, each with the ability to overturn rivers and seas, move mountains and split the earth.

After entering the No Peak Sect’s territory, Qin Niu secretly observed Chi Xing behind him.

He saw that Chi Xing was looking down, his eyes filled with endless hatred, and his clothes moving without any wind. However, due to the agreement with Qin Niu, he suppressed the hatred in his heart and dared not act on his own.

His behavior satisfied Qin Niu.

“Brother Chi, where is the great river you mentioned?”

“It’s more than two hundred li from here, on the west side of the No Peak Sect.”

Chi Xing urged his Black Mare Horse to come over, while Qin Niu took out a map and asked him to point out the location.

“Where is that cold spring?”

Since Qin Niu was preparing to help Chi Xing kill the Sixth Cave Master, he naturally had to be ready to confront the Huoyun Cave Sect.

Moreover, in his view, since the Sixth Cave Master was in seclusion outside, if he were to be killed discreetly, it might not even be noticed by the Huoyun Cave Sect.

After all, this wasn’t the first time Qin Niu had done such a thing.

Several elders and executors of the Nine Insect Gang had been secretly killed by him, and although there were people who secretly investigated afterward, they were never able to pin it on him.

He believed there were only two risks to this action: one was that Fang Hanshan was too powerful and could kill him in retaliation; the second was the Huoyun Cave Sect learning of it afterward and seeking revenge.

If he was cautious and careful enough in his actions, both risks could be minimized.

The fiercest tactic of the Huoyun Cave Sect was likely its fire poison attacks.

Qin Niu had now integrated the Ice Lotus and was more than capable of dealing with ordinary fire poison, but the fire poison of an Immortal Master could possibly be more formidable. Especially since Fang Hanshan practiced nefarious techniques, his fire skills were even more terrifying.

Investigating that cold spring under the river now could potentially yield significant benefits.

After Chi Xing was poisoned by the fire toxin, soaking in the cold spring alone allowed him to neutralize the poison. Although it took a month, it proved that the cold spring could neutralize the Sixth Cave Master’s fire poison, which was quite remarkable.

The dominance and sinister nature of the Huoyun Cave Cultivator’s fire poison was something Qin Niu had experienced firsthand.

At the time, even with Vice Gang Leader Gongsun’s formidable cultivation, he could only just suppress the fire poison and avoid being burnt alive. But it was difficult to completely cleanse himself of it.

Qin Niu fared even worse, nearly being burned alive by merely a touch of the fire poison.

“Here, the cold spring is at this position.”

After carefully identifying and searching on the map, Chi Xing confirmed the location of the cold spring.

“We should be able to reach Tian Cheng of the No Peak Sect today. When we get there, you’ll take me to explore this place.”

“Alright!”

Chi Xing nodded in agreement.

After nearly a day of travel, they finally arrived at Tian Cheng before dark.

It was the only city of the No Peak Sect.

Just like in the legends, from a distance, the city was perched atop a giant mountain with its top shorn off. The foundation of this great mountain was at least dozens of square kilometers in width, and its height exceeded two thousand meters.

Along the way, Qin Niu saw nothing but mountains upon mountains.

Most newcomers would think they had entered a primeval forest.

However, there was a significant difference between this place and a primeval forest, because here one could see humans living amongst the mountains. And it was rare to see towering trees; the vegetation was mostly ordinary shrubs.

Another important difference was the variety of roads. Even though the mountains were rugged, traces of human activity were visible everywhere, unlike the seldom-trodden primeval forests.

“Wan Yan, you and Xiao Qing find a place to stay in Tian Cheng for the time being. I’ll take Chi Xing out for a spin.”
