Chapter 127: Wide Range Automatic Locking Head._4
...
Since Chen Qiu was determined, the few others did not speak to stop him.
After leaving the Capital, the scholar summoned Qingfeng and shot towards the direction of the Flower Offering Sect. Within a dozen breaths, they had already landed at the gate of the Flower Offering Sect.
There were two Kai Mountain Disciples of the Flower Offering Sect guarding the gate, clutching the Sound Transmission Talisman in their hands and looking coldly at Chen Qiu's group, who had appeared out of thin air. In a hoarse voice, they demanded, "Who goes there, state your name."
Chen Qiu did not speak.
He simply surveyed the surroundings.
The Flower Offering Sect was located within the massive range of mountains, Jing Province, where a vast expanse of endless mountains could be found, many of which were rich in Spiritual Energy. That's why many sects had set up their bases here.
The Flower Offering Sect was on one of the peaks within this mountain range.
In the midst of winter, most of the mountain was covered with bare branches, giving it a somewhat desolate look. Come next spring, these bare branches would sprout green leaves anew, a cycle repeating year after year.
Although the Flower Offering Sect had announced that today's execution of the Heavenly Girl was open for the public to watch, no one had gone up the mountain. What kind of sect the Flower Offering Sect was, everyone knew - not Evil Cultivation or Demon Cultivation, but it was much worse in comparison.
Going up was simple, but it was uncertain whether one could come down.
Anyone with a sensible mind wouldn't want to get involved in this troublesome matter.
Just at that moment—
The pupils of the two Mountain Guarding Disciples at the gate started to show a hint of coldness, and they spoke again with an icy voice, "I'll ask one more time, state your name, or else..."
Their voices suddenly stopped.
Two Divine Sense Attacks swept through them.
The two Mountain Guarding Disciples immediately stiffened and crashed heavily onto the ground behind them, sleeping very soundly without moving an inch.
"Let's go."
Chen Qiu, with a calm expression, opened the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella and strode into the Mountain Gate, walking along the path towards the mountain top. Almost at the instant he opened the umbrella, dense black clouds swiftly enveloped the entire Flower Offering Sect.
The light quickly dimmed.
The storm howled and roared toward them.
The originally calm and sunny Flower Offering Sect was suddenly shrouded in the storm. Such changes in the heavens and earth naturally completely startled the Flower Offering Sect.
And his Divine Sense also instantly spread out, locking down everyone within the Flower Offering Sect. For the Foundation Establishment Disciples, being locked by the Divine Sense of a Golden Core cultivator basically meant that they were already hovering on the edge of death.
...
Dozens of breaths later.
Chen Qiu, holding the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella, led Fat Long and the others up the stone steps through the storm, their robes flapping loudly in the wind. Today, he had switched to a black robe, having grown a bit tired of always wearing green.
By the time he walked up the stone steps to the Sect Hall at the summit.
In the black clouds overhead, tens of thousands of Thunder Dragons, carrying an incredibly terrifying pressure, churned with deafening roars of thunder.
The awe of heaven and earth was terrifying indeed.
Meanwhile, the Green Stone Square in front of the Sect Hall of the Flower Offering Sect was packed with people. Disciples, elders, and the Sect Master of the Flower Offering Sect all stood at the Sect Hall, their expressions on guard against the powerful intruders.
And on the central stone column of the Sect Hall.
The roaming Heavenly Girl of the Flower Offering Sect, covered in bloody whip marks and bound by iron chains to the stone column, was at her last breath. But when her blurry eyes saw Fat Long behind Chen Qiu, she couldn't help but cry with joy, using all her energy to speak with an excited and trembling voice.
"Little Fatty... you really came!"
"I finally waited for you..."
"You've really become a big shot and are here to slaughter the Flower Offering Sect, but you can't beat the Sect Master. You need to escape quickly!"
"It's too late if you don't leave now!!"
At that moment, the Sect Master of the Flower Offering Sect, his body surging with majestic Spiritual Energy and his fourth-layer Golden Core cultivation not hidden at all, stood expressionless in the storm as his robes flapped fiercely, but his eyes were intently fixed on Chen Qiu as he spoke each word coldly.
"Da Xia's unrivaled Heavenly Pride, Chen Qiu."
"You come alone to my Flower Offering Sect and initiate Divine Sense Lockdown. Are you declaring war on the Flower Offering Sect?"
"I don't recall us having any grievances."
If it were not for Chen Qiu's Divine Sense Lockdown making him apprehensive, he would have attacked without hesitation. There was no need for idle talk. The Flower Offering Sect had over two thousand people including the Disciples and Servant Disciples, and all sorts of supplies.
Yet all these more than two thousand people were locked down by Chen Qiu's Divine Sense.
He had never seen a Magic Practitioner who could lock onto so many people with their Divine Sense at the same time.
It was simply inconceivable.
...
"Uh-huh."
Chen Qiu, holding the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella and walking up the steps to the Sect Hall, stood on the Green Stone Square. Facing the storm, he looked at the Flower Offering Sect's disciples and elders, who were prepared for battle not far away, and the Flower Offering Sect Master at the forefront. After a long pause, he chuckled lightly.
"There's naturally no grudge between us."
"But there's a bit of a grudge between you and this brother of mine."
"I'm someone who not only likes to avenge myself, but also likes to help my brothers seek vengeance."
"What's more, I'm a bit displeased with the way you use mortals as supplements to improve your cultivation."
...
The Flower Offering Sect Master at the very front stared coldly at Chen Qiu's eyes. Chen Qiu's Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella was held very low; he couldn't see Chen Qiu's eyes and nose, only his smile, which made it difficult for him to discern Chen Qiu's true intentions for this visit.
Was it to show off his power before discussing a matter, or was it to get ready for a direct confrontation.
Although Chen Qiu was only at the first level of the Golden Core Stage, it had to be said that the tens of thousands of Thunder Dragons did give him some trouble.
If possible, better not to start a battle.
"Mortals?"
Even though he was unclear about Chen Qiu's intentions, now that Chen Qiu had spoken, he had to continue the conversation. The Flower Offering Sect Master, looking straight at Chen Qiu, enunciated each word: "Every year, fewer than a hundred thousand mortals die at the hands of the Flower Offering Sect."
"But do you know how many mortals die in an earthquake?"
"How many die in a flood?"
"Who causes the floods and earthquakes?"
"It's Heavenly Dao!"
"Heavenly Dao slaughters mortals, could it be that you also disapprove of Heavenly Dao's actions?"
"Do you want to kill Heavenly Dao too?!"
"You're wrong."
Chen Qiu held the Jade Umbrella, standing in the storm, and looking squarely at the Flower Offering Sect Master with a light chuckle: "I'm not here to debate the Dao with you. When it comes to Dao I disapprove of, destruction is a more efficient solution than persuasion."
With that said!
Thunderous noises, deafening again, began to boom repeatedly!

The tens of thousands of Thunder Dragons in the black clouds immediately descended upon the countless Flower Offering Sect disciples below who were locked by the Divine Sense Attack, leaving them with nowhere to escape. Initially, in the indiscriminate bombing, there might have been a slim chance for lucky survivors, but now, no fish would slip through the net.
"How dare you!"
Seeing that Chen Qiu had no intention of negotiating and attacked immediately, the Flower Offering Sect Master couldn't help but let out an angry howl, his face contorted in rage. Following his yell, the disciples of the Flower Offering Sect hurriedly pulled out the human supplements from behind to shield themselves.
"There are thousands of mortals here. Stop immediately, or else..."
Before he could finish.
"Boom boom!!!"
The countless Thunder Dragons almost instantly blasted the Flower Offering Sect's Mountain Protection Array to smithereens, then, carrying an extremely terrifying pressure, slammed hard onto the top of the Flower Offering Sect's mountain, accompanied by numerous explosions.
Apart from the Flower Offering Sect Master and the Great Elder, everyone else turned to ash.
The Flower Offering Sect Master managed to protect himself and the other elder, also at the Golden Core Stage, with a precious treasure. But now, they were also full of injuries, with unstoppable blood dripping from their fingertips onto the ground, standing in place with disordered breaths and a twisted expression, looking at Chen Qiu and roaring in anger.
"You said you disapproved of our slaughter of mortals, didn't you?"
"What are you doing!!!"
"Me?"
Chen Qiu, as if taking a leisurely walk in the garden, faced the storm and slowly walked towards the depths of the Green Stone Square, smiling: "I'm helping them. They've been used as supplements by you for so long; they're barely alive. Even if they survived, they wouldn't live long."
"I believe."
"For them, I'm sure they would rather not drag out their miserable existence and instead would prefer to take you, a group of evil demons, down with them."
