Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies

"Sir, are you leaving?" the village chief put down his smoking pipe and asked Shen Qing.

Shen Qing put away his belongings from the Spirit Communication Realm and said indifferently, "My injuries have mostly healed now; it's time for me to leave."

The village chief looked at Shen Qing, his expression showing he had something to say but hesitating to speak.

Shen Qing took the initiative to say, "Go ahead, is there something you'd like me to do?"

The village chief bowed deeply and sincerely said, "Sir, you saved our entire village, you are our great benefactor. It is only right and proper for us to repay you accordingly. I dare not trouble you further, but there's nothing much in this remote and barren place to entertain someone of your status, I hope you won't hold it against us."

"I do have an unusual request."

"Let's hear it."

"Now that our area has been ravaged by demons and the population has dwindled, our village has many women, so I was wondering if it might be possible to ask you, sir, for your noble seed, to bless our descendants."

The village chief boldly put forth what was on his mind.

In his eyes, Shen Qing was so young yet possessed such power, his lineage was undoubtedly extraordinary. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire

If they could have even a trace of him here, a talented individual born into this chaotic world could enhance their villagers' chances to survive, which would be an immense blessing for their village.

In Jinzhou, it was common practice for city folks or wandering martial masters to leave offspring in the villages they visited.

It had even become a sort of tradition, with many villages taking pride in this.

His request wasn't excessive.

At this moment, the village chief realized that Shen Qing was not an ordinary person and likely considered the village women beneath him, so he hurriedly added, "Sir, if there's any woman or girl in the village you take a fancy to, you can choose. Their husbands won't say a word about it."

Whoosh~~~

Suddenly, the village chief felt a gust of wind in front of him.

When he looked up, he found that Shen Qing had already disappeared without a trace.

...

Amidst the sea of clouds, Shen Qing was riding the wind.

He was enveloped in Rainbow Light, and the cold high-altitude winds didn't affect him at all.

Shen Qing had an excellent memory and knew the exact location of Yellow Heaven Sacred Land.

After confirming the direction, he sped off, flying towards the south where Yellow Heaven Sacred Land was located.

"Hmm?"

Just then, a powerful demon energy surged in the distant sky.

The demon energy spread out like dark clouds that blotted out the sun, chilling the hearts of those who felt it.

Shen Qing's gaze sharpened, and his figure shot up in an instant, flying towards the source of the demon energy, soaring through the clouds like an eagle.

The world suddenly opened up before his eyes.

Below him, the land was scored with ravines that snaked like a mighty dragon, with patches of lush greenery scattered amidst them like stars dropped upon the vast loess plateau, forming a magnificent yet desolate tapestry.

At the far end of his sight, a deep canyon was filled with thick demon energy rising to the sky.

"Good, this saves me the effort of searching for Cultivation Techniques."

As soon as Shen Qing had decided to go to Huang Tian Sacred Mountain, he had been determined to cut down demons along the way and push forward.

On this journey, he would cross several counties and pass through many Shi family's 'Cai City' territories.

This was an excellent opportunity for him to sharpen his bow skills.

Speeding along, he soon arrived at a massive valley.

The valley was filled with thick demon energy, which made breathing somewhat difficult.

At the far end of the valley stood a figure in a black robe, its demonic aura so strong it seemed to consume everything around it like a black hole.

Its eyes were like two blood-red pearls, flickering with a bloodthirsty gleam, as it sat on the ground gnawing on a large thigh bone.

While eating, it was also continuously refining the Essence Qi from the human flesh and blood.

"Who's there?!" The demon shouted, sensing Shen Qing's approach; its voice was like thunder, deafeningly loud.

Shen Qing looked at the ghastly figure and a trace of disgust appeared on his face.

He could tell that the demon was shrouded in a thick evil Qi, and had devoured countless people to have become what it was today.

It must be slain!

Shen Qing bellowed loudly as he charged at the demon like an arrow released from a bowstring.

At the same time, with a thought to his Primordial Spirit, a treasure bow appeared in his hand.

He held the bow and shot, fully activating the Sun Shooting Bow Technique.

An arrow as dazzling as the sun condensed in his hand and shot towards the demon, carrying an overwhelming might,

The demon snorted coldly and waved its hands, summoning two streams of black demon energy to fend off the attack.

However, unexpectedly to it, its demon energy melted away upon contact with Shen Qing's arrow, just as snow does in the blazing sun.

To its astonishment, a beam of light arrow fell from the sky, striking its head with unerring accuracy.

Body and spirit, both annihilated.

Thump.

The headless demon's body fell to the ground.

Shen Qing stepped down from the Rainbow Light, landing next to the demon's body.

This was a dog demon that had reached a significant level of cultivation with a large build and fur as glossy as black silk.

Scattered around it lay countless bones, among them the innocent bones of infants.

Shen Qing reached out and removed the Demon Core from the demon's body, his face showing no sympathy whatsoever.

After taking the Demon Core, he waved his hand and a powerful force disintegrated the demon's body into a cloud of blood mist. He rubbed with his Divine Sense, extracting the demon's essence blood, condensing it into a Blood Pill that he carried with him.

Having done all this, Shen Qing leaped up and continued on his journey.

Unaware, he was already flying above Jinzhou.

Shen Qing looked down below him and spread out his Divine Sense, secretly detecting the traces of several more demons.

He snorted coldly, his figure in the clouds, bow in hand as he shot again.

Suddenly, round after round of sun-like arrows appeared in the sky, raining down upon various locations in Jinzhou.

Outside a certain tavern in Jinzhou City,

Several rat demons as large as humans were gnawing on solitary travelers in the kitchen.

One rat demon lifted its bloodstained head, sniffing the air nervously as it circled around.

A puzzled rat demon asked, "Second Brother, what are you doing?"

The nervous rat demon replied, "I think I smell something dangerous."

"Ha ha ha, Second Brother, don't be such a coward..."

Boom!

Suddenly, a sun-like arrow descended upon their heads.

Before they could understand what was happening, a powerful surge of Spiritual Power exploded, enveloping all the rat demons present.

Sun Shooting Bow Technique, every arrow hits the mark!

The same scene continued to play out around and even within Jinzhou City.

Countless demons died under Shen Qing's bow technique.

He didn't know how many arrows he had released until there were no more demons in his Divine Sense, and only then did Shen Qing finally stop.

Shen Qing thought, and the information appeared on his Panel.

Having taken note of the Panel's reminder, Shen Qing's form flickered. He moved from place to place, collecting Demon Cores, and then hurried to the next city to continue slaying demons and exorcising evil.
