Chapter 244: Chapter 237: The Ruthless Man Speaks Little_1
As he swiftly ran through the mountains, he noticed that many adventurers had also entered the Black Stone Mountain domain.
Strangely enough, all of the rocks in this mountain area were black.
Yet, the rocks in the surrounding mountains were of normal color.
Black Stone Village most likely got its name from the black stones in these mountains.
He couldn’t find out the specific reason why these stones were black, nor was he going to investigate. The fact that he had obtained such a magical Ice Lotus at the bottom of the cliff indicated that this place was definitely not simple.
There was also another matter filled with doubt.
The Green Demon had likely already cultivated the Secret Technique before rhe incident occurred.
Where did the Cultivation Technique come from?
Did he first breed the Green Demon Bees, or did he first cultivate the Secret Technique?
If given the chance, Qin Niu would definitely clarify this point because he now possessed the Green Demon Bee.
Whether or nor the Green Demon could again mass-produce Green Demon Bees, or had a secret method to control them, these were questions worth figuring out. Because if he planned to cultivate the Green Demon Bee as an important combat force, he had to ensure that he would not be controlled by others.
If he spent decades, even a hundred years, finally managing to cultivate incredibly powerful Green Demon Bees, just when he was self-satisfied, relying on Green Demon Bees to dominate a territory, the Green Demon would use a Secret Technique to control his bees.
Or there was a method to counteract the bees.
Wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain?
At this moment, those who dared to venture into the Black Stone Mountain domain were all powerful experts with considerable strength.
Seeing a youth, carrying a crystal clear lotus rushing out from the deep parts of the mountain area, their eyes couldn’t help but light up.
“Young brother, what happened in the mountains?’1
Qin Niu ignored them and proceeded straight toward the exterior of the mountain.
“A transparent lotus… I ve never seen such before. Did you get it from the mountains? What do you say to selling it to me?”
He still did not respond.
He simply kept running towards the outside of the mountains.
“Hey, this kid has quite the personality! Brothers, I think he might have gotten quite a few treasures, let’s get him.’1
A sly-looking man in his thirties signaled his companions to immediately surround Qin Niu.
The one with the strongest cultivation was in the initial stage of the Innate Realm; the weakest were at the seventh or eighth layer of the Acquired Realm.
Each one was a one-in-ten-thousand expert.
In total, there were five people: one of the Innate Realm, one at the peak of the Acquired Realm, and three at the seventh or eighth layer of the Acquired Realm.
This was an extremely formidable force.
Teaming up to rob Qin Niu, their odds of success were very high.
The Innate Realm expert who also cultivated Step-Method Martial Skills intercepted Qin Niu directly. His Treasured Sword thrust towards Qin Niu’s face.
He attacked quite viciously.
It might be because he saw Qin Niu wearing leather armor, and he intended to disable Qin Niu with one move.
“Hmph!”
Qin Niu merely snorted coldly as his Ink Blade swiftly slashed out.
What he executed was a Slash Martial Skill.
Bang!
A slash struck down, severing the enemy along with his sword into two halves.
The Rupture effect attached to the Slash Martial Skill was too terrifying.
The Hundred-Tempering Black Armor that the Innate Realm expert wore was as thin as paper, providing absolutely no protection whatsoever.
“Ah… Blade Qi! It’s a supreme quality Treasured Sword! ”
“He, he’s also an Innate Realm expert!”
“Such a horrifying slash, damn it, why won’t my legs obey me!”
The few masters who planned to rob Qin Niu were instantly petrified.
Their leader stood no chance against this terrifying young man.

For them, the Acquired Realm experts, facing Qin Niu was likely as simple as cutting vegetables.
One person, due to weak feet during his escape, directly fell to the ground and scrambled towards the distance.
All he wanted now was to get as far away from this merciless killer as possible.
After killing the innate realm expert who had attempted to rob him, Qin Niu crouched down and skillfully looted the body, completely indifferent to the gazes of others.
He found a gold note worth a thousand taels, several smaller silver notes, a small bag of seeds, and a handwritten notebook detailing planting secret techniques.
This person was likely not a member of the Nine Insect Gang, bur rather a powerful individual from the Shennong Sect.
There were too many adventurers who came to Black Stone Village.
Within the territory controlled by the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, there are over a thousand sects and factions.
The Nine Insect Gang and the Black Tiger Gang are just one among them.
Theoretically, the citizens of these thousand plus sects and factions could freely travel between them.
Unless two sects were at war; under such circumstances, the borders might be controlled.
Under normal conditions, one could travel to any territory governed by any sect through legal means.
Some even went as far as sending their children to rhe gates of the Immortal Sect controlled by Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, all for the sake of gaining an advantage and the chance to enter the Immortal Gate.
Qin Niu happily accepted these spoils of war and did nor bother with the four Acquired Realm experts who fled but instead swept off towards the outside of the mountain on his own.
Along the way, no one dared to target him any longer.
To kill one to warn a hundred, this was absolutely the most successful example.
Not even innate realm experts could take more than a single move from Qin Niu, being cleaved in half along with their swords. It was the same for others who came forward; they would gain no advantage.
In fact, they might even be killed instead.
Under this situation, naturally no one dared to come forward seeking death.
Even some who believed themselves to be more powerful than the one killed did not dare to take the risk.
Because Qin Niu killed swiftly and decisively, without uttering a single useless word from start to end.
Even the technique of looting the bodies’ valuables was so adept that it sent chills down the spines of all those with ill intentions.
One couldn’t imagine how many people this killer must have slain to have honed his looting skills to such perfection.
Nearly two hours later, Qin Niu successfully left the mountain region.
The commotion from the collapsing mountain was huge, attracting a continuous stream of adventurers into the mountain.
All hoping to find treasures or to capture Green Demon Bees.
How tragic.
If these people knew the truth, who knows what they would think.
There were no Green Demon Bees in the mountains, just deadly traps set by the Green Demon.
Carrying rhe Ice Lotus, Qin Niu attracted a lot of attention along the way, which was not a good thing.
He left Hundred Leaf Town that very day.
When he left, he purchased some cloth to wrap the Ice Lotus. That finally avoided further prying eyes.
It’s the first rule of safety while traveling abroad to not flash your wealth around.
Originally, according to his plan, he had intended to dispose of those gold and silver notes in Hundred Leaf Town.
This matter could only wait to be dealt with later.
Because the amount of his silver and gold notes was enormous, he estimated that nor even the banks of two small towns could handle it.
It would be best to take care of it in a large city.
Apart from the local banks, most larger exchanges basically allow for redemption throughout the region.
Even super exchanges like Heaven and Earth Bank should offer worldwide redemption.
Since the Nine Insect Gang and the Black Tiger Gang were at war, with large numbers of troops gathered at the border, Qin Niu did not want to risk taking the original route back.
Instead, he chose a more roundabout but safer way.
He would first pass through the Nine Insect Gang’s territory to reach the Shennong Sect, and then from there enter the territory of the Black Tiger Gang.
Compared to the others, the Shennong Sect’s way of doing things was much more upright.
The Nine Insect Gang was simply too despicable.
They specifically captured trespassers at the border, not only robbing them but also using the men as fodder for breeding insects. Women were treated as playthings for officers or given to ordinary soldiers as wives..
