Chapter 227: Overthrow

A young monk, stepping through the air, arrived not far from her.

He was calm, showing no killing intent.

Only when his gaze fell on the two corpses did his face darken a bit.

"Since you, Dao friend, killed my two disciples, I cannot let you off; please, Dao friend, go to your death."

The young monk spoke, he was calm, standing there, emanating an aloof aura, like a deity that could rule over all beings.

As soon as the young monk's words were spoken, all the monks of the Great Forest Temple were filled with excitement, looking at him admiringly.

Li Jingyi did not speak, but prepared for battle.

Even though her strength was inferior to the opponent's, she could not simply wait for death.

The members of the Dragon Pavilion would rather break than bend.

"Commit suicide, and you'll suffer less."

The young monk spoke again.

Li Jingyi sneered, saying, "What nonsense; you may not necessarily be able to kill me—who will die remains unknown."

"The poor monk admires your confidence, Dao friend; since you are unwilling to go to your death, let me send you there."

Having said that, the young monk stepped forward and walked toward Li Jingyi.

As he approached, Li Jingyi felt as if she were about to suffocate.

She had only just entered the Foundation Establishment stage, while this monk was at least at the mid‑Golden Core stage.

The gap between them was truly enormous.

It seems I will really die here today.

Thinking this, Li Jingyi's heart filled with unwillingness.

She couldn't help but shout, "I'm unwilling—I haven't even slept with Qin Yang yet!"

Everyone's expressions were strange.

That Golden Core monk was also somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

But this did not delay his attempt to kill Li Jingyi.

He slowly extended his hand, but in an instant he was before Li Jingyi.

Seeing his hand about to pierce her brow, Li Jingyi instead grew calm, preparing to meet death.

Anyway, these monks will soon come down; the Great Forest Temple killing me, given Qin Yang's nature, will surely be wiped out by him.

They being able to beat me is fine, but against Qin Yang they are absolutely no match.

Li Jingyi closed her eyes, awaiting the arrival of death.

At that moment, a miserable cry rang out; Li Jingyi opened her eyes and realized she had not died.

And that monk's arm had actually broken; his face turned ashen, and he stumbled backward.

A familiar figure stood before Li Jingyi.

"Are you Le Yao?"

Le Yao had a flying sword hovering above his head; hearing Li Jingyi's words, his originally somewhat stern expression instantly softened.

"Sister‑in‑law, long time no see; rest assured, you will definitely be able to sleep with my Senior Brother—with me here, a mere mid‑Golden Core cultivator poses no threat to you."

Now Le Yao's strength has reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, plus he has Daoist methods, making him far stronger than the young monk.

The young monk's face turned ashen, especially upon hearing Le Yao's address to Li Jingyi, his heart gave a sudden jolt.

The young monk's heart stirred; he immediately turned and tried to fly away.

As a result, a sword light fell, forcing him back.

The disciples of the Great Forest Temple then realized what was happening.

They erupted in an uproar.

Only now did they realize that the invincible patriarch they had in mind was actually trying to abandon the sect and flee for himself.

This made their expressions complex.

Seeing that he could not escape, the young monk's face fell, and he said to Le Yao, "Immortal Master, you are a person of the Daoist realm; why are you involving yourself in our martial world's affairs? Is it not said that the Daoist realm does not concern itself with ordinary people?"

Le Yao gave a cold laugh.

"You were about to kill my sister‑in‑law, yet you ask why I am involved in the martial world—don't you find that ridiculous?"

The young monk immediately said, "If so, I am willing to swear that I will not harm this female benefactor again; Immortal Master, what do you think?"

Le Yao shook his head and smiled, "That is unnecessary."

The young monk felt a surge of joy, still thinking Le Yao did not intend to pursue the matter.

At that very moment, Le Yao said, "As long as I kill you all, even if you do not swear, you will no longer seek trouble for my sister‑in‑law."

The young monk's face changed dramatically.

"Dao friend, you have slaughtered a mortal sect; are you not afraid of being called to account by the orthodox sects of the Daoist realm? Your own master would probably not forgive you either."

It is obvious that the young monk still has some understanding of the cultivation world.

Le Yao gave a light chuckle.

"My sect is under the authority of my Senior Brother; in the whole Daoist realm, no one dares to call my Senior Brother to account."

It's over.

The young monk felt despair in his heart.

"Dao friend, must you go to such extremes?"

The young monk shouted sternly.

His face darkened, he glared at Le Yao and said, "If I fight to the death, I may not be unable to perish together with you, Dao friend; you should think it over before speaking."

He put on a show of being fierce outside but weak inside, which made Le Yao laugh.

The sword light turned, and the young monk's head fell.

Le Yao gave a contemptuous smile.

Jade and stone burned together, ridiculous.

The other monks of Great Forest Temple all felt their hearts sink.

They all knew it was not good.

"Sister-in-law, let me take care of them for you."

Le Yao said.

Li Jingyi shook her head, saying, "I'll handle it myself."

Without the young monk, dealing with these people was a piece of cake for Li Jingyi.

Not long after, the entire Great Forest Temple was slaughtered, leaving no one alive.

The inner gate of Great Forest Temple was completely destroyed.

After finishing that, the two then left.

When Qin Yang received the news, it was already two days later.

In the martial world, it caused a great uproar.

Dragon Pavilion's actions were too overbearing; even a great sect like Great Forest Temple was wiped out, leaving other martial sects feeling uneasy.

"This woman is indeed decisive in killing, not bad, worthy of praise."

Qin Yang sighed.

"Now the martial sects all want us to give them an explanation."

Jin Gang scratched his head.

Afterward, his eyes lit up, and he proposed, "Why not just kill them all to avoid future trouble?"

Qin Yang glanced at him, seeing his smug look, and shook his head.

"Well said, no need to say it again next time."

Jin Gang: "..."

He still thought Qin Yang quite agreed with his words.

He never expected Qin Yang to not agree at all.

However, he had just been speaking offhand.

"Make the facts public; whoever is still dissatisfied can go take on our Dragon Pavilion, as long as they can defeat us."

Qin Yang thought for a moment and said.

"Hmm, I'll tell Li Jingyi right away."

Jin Gang laughed and said.

Qin Yang didn't take it to heart.

Some matters in the martial world now hardly catch his attention.

Qin Yang is now more concerned with some matters of the cultivation world.

Besides cultivating, he basically spends his time helping everyone increase their strength.

A piece of good news arrived: Wen Gu, who guards Xu Prefecture, has entered the Nascent Soul stage.

This delighted Qin Yang; Wen Gu is the first disciple besides himself to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

"I previously congratulated him."

Without any hesitation, Qin Yang rushed to Xu Prefecture.

At the Feng family martial hall, Feng Yuan and they looked at Wen Gu with reverence; the aura he released when he broke through made them feel as if they were seeing a deity.

However, seeing Wen Gu respectful before Qin Yang, they finally had some notion of Qin Yang's strength.

Wen Gu is hundreds, even thousands of times stronger than them; judging by his attitude toward Qin Yang, Qin Yang is likely hundreds of times stronger than Wen Gu.

"Senior Brother, in recent days I have sensed some strange qi entering Xu Prefecture; it doesn't seem to be from Jiuzhou, but rather like an evil spirit from Daoguo."

Wen Gu said.

"Evil spirits from Daoguo?"

Qin Yang's eyes flashed with sharp light; his divine sense instantly extended outward.

Not long after, Qin Yang withdrew his divine sense.

"I sensed nothing; it seems they are hiding well. I don't know what method they used, but I'll stay here two days to ferret them out."

Wen Gu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"With Senior Brother holding the fort, those Daoguo evil spirits are nothing to worry about."

He was mainly worried about something unexpected; seeing Qin Yang stay, he immediately relaxed.

Just then, a phone call came in.

Qin Yang answered the call, and Su Nuan Yue's somewhat anxious voice came from the phone.

"My brother met with trouble; he suddenly vanished in public."

Qin Yang's heart stirred; he immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll go check; nothing will happen, he is not fated to die young."

"Hmm."

Su Nuan Yue then relaxed a little.
