Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique

Chapter 1159: Chapter 73: Heartless Hall

Woh Qingqing held a sheepskin scroll in her hand, on which were written four large characters.

Heartless Hall.

…

This Heartless Hall is said to be the residence of a certain Jueqing Immortal.

That Jueqing Immortal was an extraordinary figure, a renowned powerhouse from ancient times.

In her youth, her beauty surpassed all others.

However, it is said she later suffered a severe emotional trauma.

Because of the setback in love, she was greatly agitated and thus changed her name to Jueqing Immortal.

Although she didn’t spend a long time in cultivation, her cultivation was exceptionally formidable, reaching the Heavenly God’s realm in under three hundred years.

She could be described as a once-in-a-millennium cultivation prodigy.

But Jueqing Immortal ultimately couldn’t free herself from her emotions; when she was breaking through to the Giant God Realm, a heart demon invaded, resulting in failure, and she suffered severe Tao injuries.

Knowing her life was nearing its end, Jueqing Immortal mysteriously disappeared one night.

Along with her disappearance, her Heartless Hall was also gone.

Later, rumors spread that Jueqing Immortal had passed away inside the Heartless Hall.

A generation’s Heavenly Goddess, an unparalleled beauty and the goddess in countless hearts, her short and tragic life ended just like that.

In those days, many talents pursued Jueqing Immortal. After learning of her demise, several even chose to become monks, accompanying the dimming lights forever.

This shows how immense Jueqing Immortal’s charm was back then.

Evidently, the sheepskin scroll in Woh Qingqing’s hand should record the location of Heartless Hall.

This sheepskin scroll was personally handed to Woh Qingqing by the sect master of Guxie Sect, who is also her uncle.

Woh Qingqing and more than a dozen fellow disciples planned to search for Heartless Hall together, but who would have thought the information leaked out unexpectedly.

Woh Qingqing and her companions were ambushed by cultivators from Blood Demon Mountain.

Her fellow disciples were slain by Blood Demon Mountain cultivators, and only Woh Qingqing managed to escape.

Woh Qingqing entered a dense and shadowy forest, chilling with numerous powerful fierce beasts, extremely dangerous.

Along the way, Woh Qingqing encountered more than a dozen fierce beasts, barely surviving, finally reaching the depths of the Ancient Forest.

“Could it be here?” Woh Qingqing looked at the content recorded on the sheepskin scroll.

It included both a map and detailed descriptions.

After examining it again carefully, she finally confirmed that this place was the destination she was seeking.

“According to the statement on the sheepskin scroll, this place is protected by a prohibition. To reveal Heartless Hall, one must break the prohibition.”

As a Spirit Array Master herself, Woh Qingqing had already reached the Earth Rank High-level Spirit Array Master level.

In the field of Spirit Array Master, Woh Qingqing was indeed a genius.

She carefully studied the array breaking skills recorded on the sheepskin scroll.

It stated that there were twelve Array Eyes in the prohibition, and removing the array flags from these eyes would break the prohibition.

However, surrounding the twelve Array Eyes not only were there Illusion Arrays but also Absolute Kill Arrays were set up.

Reaching the Array Eyes to remove the flags wasn’t easy.

The only consolation was that the sheepskin scroll recorded the methods to traverse the Illusion and Absolute Kill Arrays.

While ordinary people might find these complicated methods difficult to understand, Woh Qingqing, as an Earth Rank High-level Spirit Array Master, could discern them.

Following the scroll’s instructions, she cautiously approached the first Array Eye; any misstep would activate the Illusion and Absolute Kill Arrays, leaving her with no escape.

A mere few meters’ distance took Woh Qingqing half an hour with careful maneuvering until she reached a boulder, moved it, dug the earth below about a dozen centimeters deep, and found a palm-sized aquamarine array flag, which she quickly retrieved.

Only then did Woh Qingqing slightly relax.

After successfully retrieving the first array flag, Woh Qingqing gained some experience and newfound confidence.

After a brief rest, she proceeded towards the location of the second array flag.

Time passed as one flag after another was found and removed by Woh Qingqing.

When all the flags were removed.

A thunderous rumbling sound was heard.

The surrounding prohibitions began to dissipate.

Soon after, an immense palace appeared in view.

This palace, towering three hundred meters high, was splendidly constructed.

It bore a massive plaque.

The plaque bore four large characters, “Heartless Hall”!

“It was originally called Yueqing Immortal Palace, now turned into Heartless Hall; the word ‘affection’ indeed brings harm,” Woh Qingqing thought of some of the legends about Jueqing Immortal, and couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Jueqing Immortal was originally named Yueqing, considered the Heavenly Goddess and the goddess in countless hearts.

Known as the Immortal.

But after her emotional setback, she became heartless to men.

She seemed to trust no man anymore.

Truly, this was a human tragedy.

Prompting Woh Qingqing to sigh with emotion.

“Tsk, tsk, I didn’t expect Woh Sister to lament over love between men and women; is this the same ruthless Woh Qingqing I know?”

A faint laugh echoed, followed by nearly a hundred figures flying out from the mountains and forests.

Seeing the dense group of cultivators, Woh Qingqing’s face turned pale.

These were the Blood Demon Mountain experts pursuing her.

Woh Qingqing realized she had been too careless; not long after parting from Lin Feng, these people had targeted her, without her noticing.

Despair filled Woh Qingqing; her strength was insignificant before these Blood Demon Mountain cultivators.

With hatred in her eyes, Woh Qingqing glared at the recently speaking cultivator, “Li Chao, you betrayed us!”

The cultivator known as Li Chao was originally a fellow disciple training alongside Woh Qingqing, but after being injured, he had stayed in a cave to recuperate.

Woh Qingqing never suspected that Li Chao was actually a mole.

“Betrayal? I am originally a disciple of Blood Demon Mountain. Each major force sends disciples to infiltrate other sects, be it to steal intelligence or divine skills, surely you know that, right? Blood Demon Mountain probably also has Guxie Sect disciples lurking within; why is it surprising that the Guxie Sect has Blood Demon Mountain spies?” Li Chao remarked with a cold sneer.

“Alright, enough talk with her, just kill her!” The lead cultivator named Liu Qi sneered.

“Woh Qingqing Younger Sister, sorry, your mission is now complete, you can die,” Li Chao leapt out, instantly reaching Woh Qingqing’s side.

A destructive power radiated from within him.

This man turned out to be of the Creation Realm Eighth Layer Heaven cultivation level.

While Woh Qingqing was only at the Yin Yang Realm Ninth Layer Heaven, drastically weaker in comparison to Li Chao.

“You’ve concealed your true strength?” Woh Qingqing’s face was pale with despair.

Li Chao’s sinister laughter resounded, “Indeed! Woh Qingqing Younger Sister, I’ve been displaying only Yin Yang Realm Ninth Layer Heaven strength to mislead you. Now, as I reveal my true power, are you shocked? This secret shall follow you to hell.”

As his words fell, that palm was about to strike down.

In her fright, Woh Qingqing realized she couldn’t move at all.

Though her cultivation wasn’t weak, compared to Li Chao, it was worlds apart.

Just when Woh Qingqing thought death was inevitable, she suddenly saw a tremor in the void before her.

A man stepped forth from the void.

He pointed lightly at Li Chao.

A golden energy finger formed instantaneously.

With a flick.

The golden energy finger pierced through Li Chao’s skull in an instant.

Li Chao’s body was sent flying, crashing to the ground, dead.

“Lin Feng…” Woh Qingqing exclaimed.

Li Chao was at Creation Realm Eighth Layer Heaven, yet Lin Feng killed him with a single finger.

She never expected Lin Feng’s cultivation to now be this terrifying.

Could it be Lin Feng could now contend with Eternal Giant level powerhouses?

The thought sent shockwaves through Woh Qingqing’s heart.
