God-Slaying Blade

After Li Zhi left, Zhao Qingmeng returned to the Qin residence.

"Xiao Jue, there's one more thing I'd like to discuss with you," Zhao Qingmeng said solemnly to Qin Jue as she returned to the guest room.

Qin Jue smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, just say it."

Zhao Qingmeng asked earnestly, "Do you know about the Cloud Mountain Secret Realm?"

Qin Jue raised an eyebrow and said, "I have an impression. I remember my grandfather mentioning it back then. It seemed to be a place that contained powerful inheritances and abundant resources, and it would only open once every hundred years. But such a secret realm has always been controlled by the four major sects, the Feng family, and the city lord's mansion. It seems that other martial arts families would have to pay a huge price to buy a spot if they wanted to enter it."

Zhao Qingmeng said, "We were born at the right time and caught a good time! In another month, the Yunshan Secret Realm will open again! I have already obtained a spot in the sect, and in a month, I will enter the Yunshan Secret Realm with the sect team! Before I left the sect, the sect leader summoned me and promised that as long as I am willing to be an elder in the Suyun Sect, the sect will give me a spot."

Of course, if you don't wish to do so, you can purchase a spot through the City Lord's Mansion. However, just one spot costs one million spirit stones, which is quite a hefty price. But regardless of the method, this opportunity should not be missed.

Qin Jue's eyes flickered slightly as he fell into deep thought.

He didn't care much for the inheritance within the secret realm of Yunshan.

But the abundant resources within it tempted him.

He does have a lot of resources at hand now, but these resources are far from enough for his future cultivation.

Once you enter the Spirit Realm, your strength will increase dramatically, but the resources required for cultivation will also be enormous!

"Sister-in-law, why are the slots for entering the Cloud Mountain Secret Realm controlled by the City Lord's Mansion, the four major sects, and the Feng family?" Qin Jue asked.

Qin Jue didn't know much about the Cloud Mountain Secret Realm either.

After all, it only opens once every hundred years, and for many people, there is simply no chance to encounter it.

Zhao Qingmeng said, "The Cloud Mountain Secret Realm is an important resource that originally belongs to the Martial Dynasty. However, the four major sects and the Feng family have been helping the City Lord's Mansion to eliminate demons and quell rebellions for many years. Therefore, the Martial Dynasty has granted the four major sects and the Feng family a special privilege: one Grandmaster corresponds to one quota. Anyone who wants to enter the Cloud Mountain Secret Realm will also need to pay one million spirit stones."

Qin Jue's lips curled into a smile: "Doesn't that mean the Ling Shan Sect will have to send five fewer people this time?"

Zhao Qingmeng asked curiously, "Didn't you kill those four Grandmasters?"

"Five of them. Before returning to Fengzhou City, they also killed their Third Elder, Cao Yifeng. Now, the Lingshan Sect should only have four Grandmasters left," Qin Jue said with a light laugh.

Zhao Qingmeng took a deep breath; the Lingshan Sect was truly crippled...

"Xiao Jue, why are you so ruthless towards the Ling Shan Sect? Could it be that they are related to what happened back then?" Zhao Qingmeng's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Qin Jue shook his head and said, "I only know that two Grandmaster-level elders from the Lingshan Sect were involved back then, but Leng Fenghua doesn't seem to know anything about it. Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be lying. I'll ask him when I see Leng Xuanting."

Zhao Qingmeng said in a deep voice, "No wonder you were so ruthless towards the Lingshan Sect. It turns out that people from the Lingshan Sect were involved."

Qin Jue coldly replied, "Even without this incident, I wouldn't let anyone from the Lingshan Sect leave Fengzhou City alive. What reason do I have to let those who wanted to kill me but couldn't?"

Zhao Qingmeng said coldly, "Now you are the only hope of the Qin family. You are living for all the Qin family members. There is indeed no need to be too lenient towards those who have ulterior motives."

Qin Jue took a light breath and said, "Sister-in-law, since you are a disciple of the Suyun Sect, it's not unreasonable for me to hold an elder position in the Suyun Sect. But I must make it clear that unless the Suyun Sect faces a life-or-death crisis, I will not intervene."

Zhao Qingmeng smiled and said, "Xiao Jue, you don't need to put me in a difficult position. If you don't want to be an elder, it's fine to refuse. I only mentioned it because the sect has treated me well, and I received instructions from the sect leader before I left. The final decision is up to you."

Qin Jue laughed and said, "Actually, I also wanted to save a million spirit stones. As long as Suyun Sect doesn't provoke me, we shouldn't encounter any life-or-death situations."

"Alright, I'll return to the sect the day after tomorrow to confirm with the sect leader. If the sect has no objections, I'll come back, and then we can set off together," Zhao Qingmeng said.

"Um."

That night, Zhao Qingmeng stayed in Qin Yi's courtyard.

In the night, faint sobs could be heard.

The next morning, Zhao Qingmeng returned to the Zhao family.

Meanwhile, another guest arrived at the Qin residence: Zhu Baishi from the Xuan Yuan Sect.

After a cup of tea and a few pleasantries, Zhu Baishi revealed his purpose for coming.

Qin Jue hadn't expected that Zhu Baishi was also there to give him a spot.

"Elder Zhu, I appreciate your kindness, but you're too late. Yesterday, I agreed to become a sinecure elder of the Suyun Sect, and they also gave me a spot to enter the Yunshan Secret Realm," Qin Jue said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Baishi glared angrily and cursed, "What a shameless Suyun Sect! They actually think they can trap you in the Suyun Sect with just one spot!"

"Young Qin, don't bother with their worthless spot. Our Xuan Yuan Sect's spot is a complete gift to you, with absolutely no requirements whatsoever. How could a dragon among men like you be bound by a mere spot?"

Qin Jue clasped his hands and smiled, "Elder Zhu, it would have been so much better if you had arrived sooner. But I have already promised the Su Yun Sect, and it wouldn't be right to go back on my word."

"So what? You broke your promise, what can they do to you?" Zhu Baishi snorted.

Qin Jue's lips twitched slightly. Could it be that in Zhu Baishi's mind, he was the kind of domineering and unreasonable person?

Zhu Baishi realized he might have spoken too hastily and laughed, "Young man Qin, even when buying something, people compare prices. Both are spots to enter the Cloud Mountain Secret Realm, one has no conditions, the other has conditions attached—of course you should choose the one with no conditions!"

Qin Jue smiled faintly, "There are no conditions, but it is a favor. I won't hide it from Elder Zhu, the reason I agreed to the Su Yun Sect is because my sister-in-law is also cultivating in the Su Yun Sect. Now that I've become an elder of the Su Yun Sect, I can take care of her to some extent, so this matter will not change. But I, Qin Jue, will remember the kindness of the Xuan Yuan Sect."

Zhu Baishi's eyes showed disappointment. Qin Jue had already said so much, and he knew that there was no point in saying anything more. He could only stand up, clasp his hands in a fist and say, "In that case, this old man will not disturb you any longer."

Qin Jue smiled and said, "I'll see Elder Zhu off."

"Haha, okay." Zhu Baishi stroked his beard and smiled, not refusing.

Elders from the Lingshan Sect came to the Qin family and died one after another.

He, however, was personally escorted out of the mansion by Qin Jue.

This is the difference between people!
