Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 585: Chapter 564: Dragon King, Gold Devouring Ant_9

“Be careful, there’s an ambush!”

Panic rose in the hearts of the strong from the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect, and even the bravest among them fled faster than rabbits.

“To think you, a deadly assassin, are still alive!”

The Dragon King’s gaze, dark as a void, swept over this way. Without any visible effort, an old man appeared next to Elder He’s corpse, and a flirty woman materialized not far away.

Both were acquaintances of Qin Niu.

“Zhao, Madame Zhao! Old master!”

Qin Niu cried out in disbelief.

One of them was the wife that Liu Qing of Shuangfeng Village had married, Madame Zhao, a mysterious woman with a strength even greater than the Fire Phoenix Qin Niu had subdued.

The coquette remained as seductive as ever, attracting the gazes of men everywhere.

However, it was from her sleeves that strands of transparent threads shot out, binding Elder He’s body. It must have been she who had taken control of Elder He.

The old man holding a black blade turned out to be Bei Bing, the elder from the symbol shop and also Bei Bing’s grandfather.

He was now dressed in tight black clothes, his form lean and efficient.

“Hehe, Brother Qin, we meet again!”

Madame Zhao greeted him with a giggling smile.

Bei Bing’s grandfather glanced at Qin Niu, his look rather gentle.

“Ahem, I never imagined that you were all such supreme experts. For any past offenses, please forgive me!”

Qin Niu bowed deeply with his hands clasped together.

“Enough with the formalities; I won’t be blinded by your humble demeanor,” said Madame Zhao, who knew all too well Qin Niu’s modus operandi and likely even knew about the strong ones he had killed in the village.

“May I have this corpse as a gift?”

Qin Niu asked, his face brimming with hope.

Elder He was of Earth Immortal cultivation, and far stronger than an average Earth Immortal; the value of his corporeal body was immense.

For Qin Niu’s Green Demon Bee to evolve swiftly, it required high-quality food.

Consuming this body would undoubtedly lead to a significant breakthrough for the Green Demon Bee.

“For my granddaughter’s sake, I’ll give it to you!”

Bei Bing’s grandfather flung the body towards Qin Niu, and the transparent threads wrapped around it disappeared as if withdrawn by Madame Zhao.

“Thank you both, Immortals!”

Qin Niu expressed his gratitude profusely.

This almost drove Elder He’s soul mad with rage, as he had to watch his own body desecrated while being powerless to do anything about it.

“Dragon King, you murdered my wife, daughter-in-law, and children to acquire my invisibility technique. Today, it should come to an end,” Bei Bing’s grandfather said with hate.

“Yuan Ji, to think you escaped only to join the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect. Indeed, destroying the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect was just, as this place has become a hideout for filth and the largest source of instability,” the Dragon King said, looking at Madame Zhao.

“Return to the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect with me, and I will overlook past grievances, allowing you to still become my consort.”

Nobody could have anticipated that Madame Zhao was, in fact, the Dragon King’s consort.

“That will never happen. I am already another man’s wife. You pretended to treat me well but secretly planned to use me as a furnace to enhance your cultivation. Fortunately, I saw through it and escaped with my life,” Madame Zhao revealed, exposing the Dragon King’s sinister intentions.

“Nonsense! Every one of the three thousand consorts of mine is my true love, each cherished by me. But you, you were always paranoid!”

The Dragon King’s countenance finally shifted upon hearing that Madame Zhao had a husband, rage seeping into his tone.

“Is that so? Then what about those consorts in your palace who have long since become mere husks of flesh? They were nothing more than furnaces for you to increase your cultivation. The heavens are blind not to strike you with thunder and obliterate your soul and corpse, to seek justice for those women who died unjustly.”

Madame Zhao accused the Dragon King of his vile deeds in anger.

“Hmph, you slew the Great Elder of the Myriad Beast Immortal Sect and now spew such slander to defame me. You deserve death! Since you came, none of you will leave!” the Dragon King proclaimed, his fury prompting him to take action himself.

To let Madame Zhao continue would only reveal more of his misdeeds.

“I am an Immortal Venerable, charged with upholding celestial law and judging all beings, maintaining the Way of Heaven!”

A golden seal appeared in the Dragon King’s hand, as he loudly chanted the incantation.

As he spoke, the clouds above seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand and a bizarre, enormous eye appeared, devoid of any human emotion.

“Punish!”

The Dragon King pointed at the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect and others, and the sky instantly burst with thunder and lightning, the giant eye locking firmly onto the people of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect.

When Qin Niu found himself targeted by the eye in the sky, he felt utterly helpless, his heart pounding as if facing the wrath of heaven itself.

Such a method of dispensing heavenly punishment was genuinely terrifying.

No wonder the Immortal Monarch Haosnow had told him that the Dragon King was the strongest in this realm.

Boom!

A massive bolt of lightning struck towards Madame Zhao.

It seemed that the Dragon King was not devoid of emotions; he too could feel anger and, like any mortal, hold grudges.

He must have considered Yuan Ji’s escape a betrayal, and thus sought to kill her.

“Ah…”

Yuan Ji could only summon a small, teardrop-shaped shield to ward off the punitive lightning from the sky.

Crack!

Her seemingly robust shield shattered in an instant under the lightning strike.

In that moment of peril, the purple-gold coffin flew above her, blocking the thunderbolt. Yuan Ji was left in sheer terror, her clothes disheveled, a pitiable sight to behold.

Liu Qing was truly fortunate to have such a powerful and beautiful Immortal as a wife; a blessing of several lifetimes.

The giant eye in the sky did not relent, and once again summoned even thicker bolts of lightning to strike at everyone.

Bolt after bolt indiscriminately attacked those of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect.

Qin Niu was also within the range of the attack.
