NOVEL NEXT Chapter 715: Taibai Peak!
Immediately after!
The Gu Worm entered the small carp's body, the carp suddenly trembled all over, its body violently enlarged, becoming extremely ferocious!!
In the blink of an eye, it grew to be the size of a man, baring its teeth and grinning like a terrifying piranha!
Even more, it emitted a daunting Evil Qi that made one's hair stand on end!
Just one glimpse into its eyes.
Would soak your back with cold sweat.
"Its power is equivalent to a Half-step Master. With my current abilities, I can control about five hundred at a time," said White Ghost.
"Not bad!"
Qin Feng was astonished.
He didn't expect the Gu Worm he cultivated to not only be so powerful but also able to control five hundred at once!
What did this mean?
It meant that he effectively had a small army of five hundred Half-step Masters!
With such strength.
Far more formidable than an ordinary Grade One Grandmaster, it could even compete with a Third-grade Grandmaster!
What's more important was that Qin Feng knew this was only one aspect of White Ghost's abilities; his Gu Technique had many facets.
"You heard it just now, I need you to be able to control the minds of others; they don't have to be very obedient, at the very least they should be able to independently control Arrays. To what extent can you do this now?" asked Qin Feng.
"It depends on the opponent's cultivation. If they're below a Grandmaster, the most I can control at once is ten people. If it's a Grade One Grandmaster, I can control three people, and for a Third-grade Grandmaster, only one person," White Ghost replied.
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction.
Controlling minds, as opposed to killing people directly with Gu Worms, was undoubtedly more difficult.
Being able to control the mind of a Third-grade Grandmaster was already quite an achievement.
"But it's still not enough."
Qin Feng furrowed his brow and said, "As you heard just now, Young Master Bai He said that controlling the Array requires quite a few people, and I'm not sure which level of cultivation those from the Supreme Sect responsible for controlling the Array have."
"This…"
"Don't worry, I have called you here because naturally, I have a way to help you."
Saying this, Qin Feng took out the Demon King Jade Pendant.
He obtained this jade pendant en route to North Country Forest Mountain while completing a capture mission with Phoenix, from that person's possession. It can control the minds of some wild beasts and lower-grade Spiritual Beasts for a period of time.
Actually, this wasn't very useful for Qin Feng.
Even with Spiritual Beasts at the level of Tiger King, Qin Feng could subdue them with Dragon Emperor's Blood.
It would be perfect for White Ghost to use.
"The power within this jade pendant, I think, should be useful to you or your Gu Worms," he said.
White Ghost took the Demon King Jade Pendant, carefully felt the power inside, and with widened eyes in astonishment, said, "This is great! The power inside is specifically for controlling minds, which can be refined for my Gu Worms!"
"Good, as long as it's useful."
Then, Qin Feng took out a Blood Bodhi and said, "Together with this, I believe your Gu Worms will grow to the extent I need in a short time."
"I guarantee they absolutely will!"
White Ghost's eyes lit up with excitement.
Blood Bodhi, condensed from Fire Qilin Blood, is also a Supreme Treasure to Gu Worms!
"Very well, then I'll give you one day to let your Gu Worms refine the power of the Demon King Jade Pendant and the Blood Bodhi! Be ready to head to the Supreme Sect tomorrow."
Qin Feng said.
"Yes! I assure you it will be completed!"
White Ghost said.
With these settled.
Qin Feng stretched his arms and then went to find Xiao Wu.
Heading to the Supreme Sect's headquarters couldn't be done without Xiao Wu; her ability to successfully steal items from formidable places like Holy Soul Hall and Yun Kong Temple was too valuable to forfeit. Having her by his side could be essential.
"Where's Xiao Wu?"
Qin Feng searched for a long time but couldn't find her, and asked Zheng Aotian and the others.
Everyone also said they hadn't seen her.
Zhiyun pointed at a mountain peak, saying, "Before, she seemed to be staring at that mountain over there, I don't know if she went that way."
"Oh?"
Qin Feng looked towards that mountain peak with puzzlement.
After hesitating for a moment, he too immediately went to search in that direction.
Actually, since the beginning of his arrival in the Qinling area, Qin Feng had noticed that Xiao Wu seemed preoccupied, constantly observing her surroundings from time to time, as if looking for something.
It's just that he had been busy dealing with the matters of the Supreme Sect, and she didn't seem to wander off, so he didn't take it seriously.
Very quickly.
Using the Human Emperor Step, Qin Feng reached the base of that mountain and surveyed the surroundings on his way up the peak.
The mountain peak was very tall.
After ascending, Qin Feng realized it was none other than Taibai Peak!
Taibai Peak.
Once considered the highest peak of the Qinling Mountains, nearly 3,800 kilometers high.
Of course.
It was indeed quite tall.
Previously it was also a tourist spot.
But in recent years, the Hidden World has been in chaos, and places like this situated deep in the mountains have been closed early, such as Longshan in Dragon Mountain City, Southwest.
Upon climbing Taibai Peak.
Qin Feng saw Xiao Wu at the top of the mountain peak, standing on the edge of a cliff, looking out into the distance.
"What are you looking at?"
Qin Feng walked over as well, peering into the distance.
Mountain ranges stretched for thousands of miles, forming gigantic wrinkles as if sprawled across the face of the earth; they were extremely perilous.
Looking ahead.
Several rivers could be seen, winding along the valleys, reflecting the sunlight, somewhat dazzling.
Xiao Wu's focus was on those rivers.
"That river is the Jing River."
Qin Feng pointed it out for her, saying, "That's the Jing from 'Distinct Waters of Jing and Wei'. Look to the right, keep looking right; that river over there is the Beiluo River, very beautiful, and beyond that is Hua Mountain, with nice views too, it's just a bit distant from us, or I would've taken you there for fun. To the east is the Yellow River..."
Xiao Wu let out a light sigh, a trace of dismay flickering across her brows, and she withdrew her gaze, saying, "Psh, who wants to go there for fun!"
"By the way, what are you looking for?"
Qin Feng inquired.
"None of your business! It's my own secret."
Xiao Wu pouted.
Qin Feng smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be related to the secret the Supreme Sect wanted to know when they were chasing you and your sister, right?"
"When I came to rely on you, we agreed not to ask about that!"
"I was just thinking if I could help, but if you won't say, then there's nothing I can do."
"I..."
Xiao Wu wanted to tell him, especially since the strength he had displayed far exceeded her imagination, but after hesitating for a while, she still held back, saying, "Anyway, you better not ask, it's my own secret."
Qin Feng did not press further, and as they descended the mountain together, he said, "I came to find you to tell you, prepare yourself, tomorrow we're preparing to go to the Supreme Sect."
"Oh?"
"You, me, Young Master Bai He, and Poisonous Insect King White Ghost, the four of us will go there first."
Qin Feng added.
And he briefly explained the plan.
"Why include me? What help could I possibly provide?" asked Xiao Wu.
"Of course, to have you 'steal' something."
"..."
Xiao Wu glared at him resentfully, but then seemed to remember something, pondering for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth curved up slightly, saying, "If that's the case, then you must agree to one condition of mine!"
