Skip this! Just tell me who to kill!

One day later.

Wangyue Sect.

"Big news! Big news indeed!"

While Xiao Chang was cultivating at Chuanfa Peak, he suddenly heard the outer disciples outside discussing excitedly.

"Have you heard? The Fang family, one of the eight great families of the Great Liang Kingdom, which had a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, was wiped out overnight!"

"Huh? I remember the Fang family had three Foundation Establishment stage experts, right? With that kind of strength... how could they be wiped out overnight?"

"It's true, absolutely true! I'm telling you, do you know why the Fang family was wiped out?"

Why?

"Because of a young member of the Fang family! Let me tell you, there's a member of the Fang family named Fang Yuan. Rumor has it that Fang Yuan betrayed the Fang family a few days ago, and the Fang family has issued a punitive order against her!"

"And then Fang Yuan went berserk and wiped out the Fang family?"

"No! It was Fang Yuan who found a disciple from another sect, and together they went directly to the Fang family and, on the occasion of the Fang family's Foundation Establishment ancestor's 400th birthday, wiped out the entire Fang family!"

"To exterminate an entire clan on their birthday? That's incredibly cruel!"

"Hiss! They stormed the Fang family's gates and killed three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators... Just which sect did those who wiped out the entire clan come from?"

"I've heard that their sect is called the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect!"

Ok?

Xiao Chang's ears twitched.

"Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect? Isn't that Brother Qin's sect?"

Having grasped the key words, Xiao Chang appeared to be still meditating with his eyes closed, but in reality, he was already pondering deeply.

"The Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect... Could it be that Brother Qin's fellow disciples wiped out the Fang family?"

"I heard that Brother Qin is also in Lingzhu Market in the Great Liang Kingdom. You should be able to run into his fellow disciple there, right?"

Xiao Chang was originally worried that, given his brother Qin's righteous and indignant nature, he would definitely make enemies with many immortal and martial cultivators once he went to the Great Liang Kingdom.

However, Qin Muyuan's cultivation level is still shallow, and it would be difficult for him to extricate himself from this feud.

However, if you happen to run into a fellow disciple from the same sect, you shouldn't have to worry about getting into a feud and being unable to escape.

After all, someone who could kill three fellow disciples who were at the peak of Foundation Establishment must be someone whose strength was beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.

With the help of this fellow disciple, Brother Qin shouldn't have to worry...

"...I've never heard of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect either! But I heard that in addition to announcing the sect, that person also gave his name on the spot—Qin, Mu, Yuan!"

Who?

Xiao Chang's eyes snapped open, filled with astonishment.

"The Qin surname? I've never heard of a powerful Qin clan in this southern wilderness."

"This person is very likely not from our Southern Wilderness."

"Oh dear, your information is all useless. Let me tell you, besides wiping out the Fang family, Qin Muyuan also destroyed another immortal cultivation family before—the Yu family of Lingzhufang City in the Great Liang Kingdom!"

"Hiss!! Is the person who destroyed the Yu family and the Fang family the same person?"

"Yes! My uncle's wife's younger brother's daughter said that when they stormed into the Fang family's Tianying County, Qin Muyuan was riding a wolf demon! That wolf demon looked exactly like the one ridden by the people who killed the Yu family!"

Wolf demon... that must be Brother Qin!

Xiao Chang was certain.

Because the wolf demon named Wangcai was subdued by Brother Qin in the underground of the martial arts school, and was not a "standard pet for disciples of the Fenglingyueying Sect".

and so.

"Brother Qin, you really killed three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators..."

Xiao Chang was dumbfounded.

He had previously planned to go down the mountain to find Brother Qin after he had completed his studies.

Then, when Brother Qin was in crisis, he appeared out of nowhere and helped Brother Qin solve the problem, in order to repay Brother Qin for saving his life.

result.

He hadn't even figured out the various key techniques of immortal cultivation, and he couldn't even be considered a Taoist priest; he was a level below Qi Refining Immortal Cultivators.

And Brother Qin... is already capable of fighting three Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators...

Xiao Chang suddenly felt that a thick barrier had suddenly separated him from Brother Qin!

"After Qin Muyuan wiped out the Fang family, he also issued a statement. Can you guess what it was?"

Outside, the outer disciples continued their casual conversation.

"What is it?"

"The eight great families that were wiped out!"

"What?"

"Exterminate the eight great families! Yes, just like you heard! Qin Muyuan declared that he would exterminate each of the eight great families of the Great Liang Kingdom! Eradicate them all!"

"And his next target is the Luo family in Tianqing County!"

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Terrifying! Terrifying!"

"What an arrogant statement! This person's strength... is probably above mine?"

"...Get out of here! You'd be lucky to escape his clutches!"

"No wonder. I heard from my cousin who joined the inner sect that several elders of our Wangyue Sect were planning to travel together to Tianqing County to see what was going on. At the time, I wondered what kind of excitement Tianqing County could possibly have, but now it seems..."

"If our sect elders go, the Xuan Gu Sect people will probably go too, right? Wouldn't that create a scene where every immortal sect is vying for attention?"

"That sounds great! I want to go see what's going on and broaden my horizons..."

……

That night.

When Xiao Chang returned to his cave, he found that someone was already sitting in his cave.

This person had long, flowing silver hair, and a pair of crimson eyes that shone brightly in the dim light.

The moment Xiao Chang saw the man clearly, although a slight sense of unease arose in his heart, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he quickly cupped his hands and greeted him respectfully:

"Xiao Chang greets Senior Sister Nangong!"

"No need for formalities."

Nangong Yueqing spoke in a flat, even voice.

"I wonder why Senior Sister Nangong sought out Xiao Chang...?"

"I don't like beating around the bush."

Nangong Yueqing's tone was direct and crisp:

"Tomorrow I will go down the mountain to Tianqing County to watch the battle between Qin Muyuan of the Fenglingyueying Sect and the Luo family, so as to broaden my experience."

"If you are willing to come along, wait for me at the foot of the mountain at sunrise tomorrow morning, and I will take you there."

Geek!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chang's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't believe that Senior Sister Nangong, whose strength had reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, had taken a liking to him and wanted to take him along to watch the excitement.

The reason this senior sister brought me along is probably not because of me, but because of Brother Qin!

But... how did she know about her relationship with Brother Qin?

"Senior sister..."

"The wondrous methods of immortal cultivation are beyond the comprehension of mortals like you, who are not even considered alchemists."

Xiao Chang had barely finished speaking when Nangong Yueqing interrupted him:

"Your actions in disciplining that disciple last time were not entirely thorough; the traces you left behind were not cleaned up properly."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chang was shocked, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Could it be that my secret trick of putting sacks on the outer disciple and sprinkling lime on him has been discovered and recognized?

Fortunately, I've already cleaned up the mess for you and taken care of everything.

Nangong Yueqing glanced at Xiao Chang and said calmly:

"And that is why I decided to take you to Tianqing County."

Do you have any further questions?

"That's all, Senior Sister Nangong." Even though Xiao Chang still had a lot of questions, he didn't dare to ask any more after hearing Nangong Yueqing's question.

"Very good. Head to the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain before sunrise tomorrow, and don't be late."

"Yes, Senior Sister Nangong."

Nangong Yueqing nodded slightly, cast her spell, and left silently.
