Chapter Seventy-Six: King Bernoulli

The battle of Cavosburg was over, but the fire in the distance was growing larger and larger, and was out of control. Qin Mo guessed that the Rakshasa people had burned everything they couldn't carry away, and perhaps the flames could dissolve their deep resentment towards the orc rulers.

Qin Mo bent down and broke off Cavos's fangs, carefully placing them away. This was proof of his military merit, and it would be even better if he could bring his head back. However, the thought of having such a large head accompany him all the way to the trading city was unbearable.

The matter is over and done with, leaving not a trace. Now that I have the warlord's fangs, it's time to return to Maimai City. Allen, Uncle Wu, and Fie are still waiting for me to celebrate the Spring Festival. If I hurry, I might be able to return to Maimai City around New Year's Eve.

Qin Mo had originally intended to talk to Ji Wu, but then she thought better of it. Everyone has secrets, after all. They would meet again if fate allowed. Qin Mo planned to leave tonight. The death of a warlord was a significant event, and it was best to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

"Young man, are you the helper Lev found?" A sudden voice rang out, not far behind Qin Mo.

Qin Mo instantly drew his "Shadowless" twin blades, darted forward, and turned in mid-air. Upon landing, he was already ten feet away, facing the person who had suddenly appeared without a sound.

This was an old orc, whose fur clothing was exquisitely tailored, and whose ears and neck were adorned with gemstone ornaments, many of which Qin Mo couldn't recognize the material of.

“Young man, don’t be nervous. I’m just curious how Lev found you wandering cultivators from Great Xia. You were able to kill Cavos, so you must be a Xuan Realm expert by now!” The old beastman asked in a very kind tone, just like an old neighbor chatting with you.

Qin Mo was too nervous to speak. The oppressive aura emanating from the old man was already stinging his skin. The bright yellow primordial fluid within his body had automatically begun to circulate, transforming into countless streams of bright yellow primordial energy that circulated throughout his body to resist the sudden appearance of the oppressive aura. Qin Mo realized that the old orc must have concealed his aura when he approached. If he had delivered a fatal blow then, could he have survived?

"Huh!" The old beastman's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light as he stared straight at Qin Mo. Qin Mo felt as if the other's gaze had pierced through her body and seen right through her.

"I can actually sense... that aura of primordial energy. You... are a member of the Great Xia royal family?" The old orc's amiable expression gradually disappeared, and his imposing aura rose steadily. Qin Mo felt the primordial energy from all directions surging towards her, squeezing her so tightly that she couldn't move.

"Bernullis... Your Majesty?" Qin Mo struggled to circulate the Yuan Liquid in his dantian, distributing more Yuan Qi throughout his body to resist the oppressive force exerted upon him. Using earth Yuan Qi to control an opponent was a skill possessed only by human Earth Realm experts.

Due to their physical limitations, orcs cannot absorb earth elemental energy for their own use. However, they possess a unique "ancestral power," through which they can manipulate the surrounding earth elemental energy to fight enemies, just like earth-realm cultivators. They call this earth elemental energy under their control "earth's might."

Only a powerful orc king of at least the caliber of "Shadow King" possesses this ability, and the only orc king in the vicinity is King Bernullis.

"Hehe... Not bad, fellow. Since you know my name, I won't kill you. Come with me, and I'll give you the treatment you deserve." Although King Bernoulli's words became more amiable, the surrounding earth elemental energy, under his control, not only didn't relax but surged even more fiercely towards Qin Mo, even beginning to seep into his body through his skin.

Qin Mo was greatly alarmed. Beads of sweat dripped incessantly from his forehead. What would happen if the surging vital energy were to flow uncontrollably into his body? He dared not even think about it. He desperately tried to circulate the "Returning Heart Sutra," pushing the bright yellow vital energy to its maximum speed, but even so, wisps of earth energy still seeped into his internal organs.

Nirvana Flame, which had been entrenched in the crimson mark on Qin Mo's chest, suddenly awoke. Sensing that an outsider had invaded its territory, it bared its fangs and claws and leaped out of its den, sweeping away all the earth elemental energy that was no longer under Qin Mo's control.

As the Nirvana Flame surged through Qin Mo's body, the external pressure on him inexplicably lessened. Although it was still omnipresent, it could no longer immobilize Qin Mo. He now only felt a stinging pain all over his body, but his movements were no longer hindered.

"What if I don't go with you?" Qin Mo gritted her teeth, still prepared to resist. Would she be given the treatment she deserved? What kind of treatment? Prisoner treatment? Or would she have to pay a ransom? Her adoptive father, Qin Lan, had killed countless powerful beastmen; would he treat her well?

"Heh... young man, think it over again. I, Bernoullius, have always hoped to coexist peacefully with the Great Xia people. But if you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being ruthless!" King Bernoullius's words were still as amiable as ever, but Qin Mo could already sense the impatience in his eyes. He gripped his "Shadowless" twin blades tightly, preparing to fight to the death for his life.

"Whether you're a moderate or a warmonger, orcs are orcs. What are you pretending to be, gentlemen? You're just a bunch of savage beasts. This is an insult to the noble word 'human.'"

Qin Mo was overjoyed to hear the voice. If it weren't for the immense pressure Bernoulli exerted on him, preventing him from relaxing even for a moment, he would have immediately embraced that person. Well... if the other person was willing to let him hug him.
