Chapter 591 - 589: Thousand-legged Centipede

As Jiang Chen fell into a deep coma,

one from which he might never awaken,

everyone’s heart grew heavy. No one was willing to accept this reality.

The fate of every person present was inextricably linked to Jiang Chen.

"I have to save him."

Murong Xiangming bit her lip so hard that it bled.

Her voice was firm with determination.

With that, she lifted Jiang Chen’s body and started to walk out.

"Wait, Miss Murong. Do you have a plan?"

Mr. Qiu Shui blocked her path.

Murong Xiangming shook her head. "No, but I won’t give up."

Understanding what Murong Xiangming was thinking, Mr. Qiu Shui said in a low voice, "We all want Jiang Chen to live."

"But to take him away rashly without a way to save him is far too irresponsible."

"Everyone, calm down. Let’s think of a solution."

In the end, Murong Xiangming placed Jiang Chen back on the bed, staying by his side and watching over him without pause.

Just then, Liang Yiyi spoke up anxiously, "Right, a moment ago, the Young Master used some strange object to perform a divination."

"I saw some characters appear. I memorized them all, but I don’t understand what they mean."

She immediately told everyone the characters she had seen.

"The devoted Liang Yiyi, her blood enters Cloud-Rubbing Cave; a Sincere Heart is shattered."

"Her love unchanging, she has no regrets, even in death."

Everyone pondered the meaning of these words.

Liang Yiyi added, "By the way, my name is Liang Yiyi."

"I know that saving the Young Master has something to do with me, according to this message."

"But I don’t understand the rest of it."

Everyone looked at Liang Yiyi in surprise.

Only then did they realize that Jiang Chen’s maid was named Liang Yiyi.

However, even Mr. Qiu Shui didn’t quite understand the rest of its meaning.

But after some thought, he said, "’Her blood enters Cloud-Rubbing Cave’ must mean that Young Master Jiang Chen’s life and death are connected to this so-called Cloud-Rubbing Cave."

"If we can find Cloud-Rubbing Cave, we might be able to save him."

"The only problem is, I don’t know where this Cloud-Rubbing Cave is."

Murong Xiangming stepped forward.

"Cloud-Rubbing Cave... I’ll go ask at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion."

The Treasure Elephant Pavilion was known for its vast repository of information.

So, she hurried off to the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

There, she met Master Tian Mu.

After she inquired, Master Tian Mu surprisingly knew of it. "Cloud-Rubbing Cave... that is an extremely mysterious place."

"It is located in the southern lands of the Qianye Kingdom, one of the Six Great Dukedoms."

"The area is exceedingly perilous."

After hearing this, Murong Xiangming bid Master Tian Mu farewell and rushed back to the Jiang Family residence.

"I found it! I found where Cloud-Rubbing Cave is."

Everyone turned to look at Murong Xiangming.

Murong Xiangming said, "Cloud-Rubbing Cave is in the southern lands of the Qianye Kingdom."

"But it’s said to be extremely dangerous."

The Qianye Kingdom was one of the Six Great Dukedoms under the Divine Wind Empire.

The Six Great Dukedoms were the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, the Qianye Kingdom, the Warring States, the Wind Sea Kingdom, the Snow Kingdom, and the Tang Kingdom.

And the Qianye Kingdom was located south of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

"There’s no time to lose. We’ll set off for the Qianye Kingdom immediately to find Cloud-Rubbing Cave."

Mr. Qiu Shui made a decisive choice, not daring to delay any longer.

The group took Jiang Chen and headed straight for the Qianye Kingdom.

After two days of flying, the group arrived in the south of the Qianye Kingdom, within the treacherous Moyun Mountain range.

"Cloud-Rubbing Cave should be in these mountains."

They gazed at the endless mountain peaks before them. Some were tens of thousands of feet high, so tall that even birds couldn’t fly over them.

They had also made inquiries along the way.

It was confirmed that Cloud-Rubbing Cave was located within these mountains.

However, standing at the foot of the mountains, they could feel an incredibly violent aura emanating from within.

Extremely ferocious Demon Beasts dwelled inside.

"No matter what, we have to find Cloud-Rubbing Cave."

"Let’s go. We’re heading in."

With that, Mr. Qiu Shui took the lead and charged into the mountains.

They began their search for Cloud-Rubbing Cave.

"ROAR!"

"Humans, get out!"

"Trespassers in the Moyun Sacred Land will die!"

Just then, a furious roar echoed from within the mountains.

Immediately after, a terrifying aura rushed out from the peaks.

It was a white snake, seventy to eighty meters long.

Its entire body was snow-white, but bizarrely, it had three heads.

Its appearance was ferocious and terrifying.

The white snake flew out from the mountains, stretching across the sky.

It continuously flicked its scarlet tongue at the group.

It emanated the cultivation aura of the Peak of Martial Arts Nine Heavens.

Faced with such a terrifying Demon Beast, everyone except for Mr. Qiu Shui was shaken and a little afraid.

But Mr. Qiu Shui stepped forward.

He said loudly, "Friend, we have no intention of disturbing you. We are simply looking for Cloud-Rubbing Cave."

"We would be grateful if you could provide some information. Thank you in advance."

This was the territory of Demon Beasts, and a powerful one was entrenched here. Mr. Qiu Shui didn’t want to cause trouble, so he spoke politely.

But the Three-headed White Snake snarled, "Scram! The Moyun Sacred Land does not welcome outsiders."

With that, it lunged viciously toward the group.

Seeing this, Mr. Qiu Shui’s eyes turned cold.

"Then you leave me no choice."

He immediately handed Jiang Chen to Murong Xiangming and then charged toward the Three-headed White Snake.

Mr. Qiu Shui was an expert with a Martial Emperor’s Cultivation.

He was significantly more powerful than the Three-headed White Snake.

"BOOM!"

Mr. Qiu Shui ruthlessly slammed his palm into the white snake’s body. The snake was sent flying, crashing into a mountain and causing the earth to shake violently.

It was clearly injured.

"ROAR...!"

The white snake struggled back up, let out a furious roar, and shrieked at the sky.

The next moment.

"SCREECH...!"

A strange sound suddenly came from within the mountains.

Mr. Qiu Shui’s expression changed slightly.

’Just as I thought.’ The next instant, a colossal, entirely purple creature, a full one hundred meters long, flew out from the mountains.

It appeared beside the Three-headed White Snake.

When they got a clear look, they saw it was a Thousand-legged Centipede.

This centipede was enormous.

It radiated the aura of the Martial Emperor Third Heaven.

"SCREECH...!"

The Thousand-legged Centipede saw that the white snake was injured and became enraged.

"Damn you! You all deserve to die!"

"How dare you injure Little White on our Moyun Mountain!"

"Humans, die!"

Roaring, the Thousand-legged Centipede’s body swayed, its aura terrifyingly immense as it shot toward the group.

Its powerful cultivation made even Mr. Qiu Shui, a Martial Emperor Expert, pale drastically.

"This is bad! Everyone, fall back!"

They were no match for the Thousand-legged Centipede.

The group retreated one after another, but the centipede, filled with rage, pressed its attack.

In a near instant, it appeared before them.

Its thousand legs danced like ghostly hands.

Not only was the Thousand-legged Centipede’s cultivation high, but its body was also extremely poisonous.

Mr. Qiu Shui’s heart sank.

He hastily unleashed the Celestial Dragon Sun-Destroying Technique.

A Celestial Dragon flew from his body, attempting to block the Thousand-legged Centipede.

"SWOOSH!"

Each of the Thousand-legged Centipede’s legs was seven to eight meters long, and every one was as hard as steel.

They even emanated a purplish metallic sheen.

"BOOM!"

Mr. Qiu Shui’s Celestial Dragon lashed fiercely at the Thousand-legged Centipede, but the creature didn’t budge an inch.

Instead, Mr. Qiu Shui’s Celestial Dragon was sent flying.

In that moment, Mr. Qiu Shui suffered a backlash, his body staggering backward.

At the same time, his chest trembled violently, and he spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

The difference in strength was glaringly obvious.

A Thousand-legged Centipede at the Martial Emperor Third Heaven could even hold its own against a Martial Cultivator at the Martial Emperor Fourth Realm.

Immediately after, the Thousand-legged Centipede lunged forward.

Its body appeared before Mr. Qiu Shui in an instant, and its thousands of long legs wrapped around him before he could dodge.

"Human, die."
