Chapter 298: Died Without Wrong

Five Frantic Gods, legendary evil beings formed from mountain sprites or rats, snakes, toads and other monsters, like to take human form and abduct women.

Qin Yang never expected to encounter such a thing in the degenerate age of Dharma.

Moreover, it dared to cause trouble on his turf.

He pursued it.

The Five Frantic Gods' escape technique was superb; it fled hundreds of li away before Qin Yang finally caught up and yanked it out of the ground.

Its expression was terrified; although called a Five Frantic God, it was actually just an evil entity.

Compared to a true deity, the Five Frantic Gods have no comparability.

Seeing Qin Yang catch up, it was subdued.

The Five Frantic Gods cried out in terror, "Upper Immortal, spare my life!"

Qin Yang's expression was icy as he stared at the Five Frantic Gods, killing intent palpable.

"Spare you? That's possible, but do you have any companions?"

Qin Yang asked.

Its eyes darted, and just as it was about to speak, Qin Yang's voice sounded.

"You'd better speak truthfully; if I sense you're lying, you're dead."

Sensing the killing intent in Qin Yang's tone, the monster also knew it was no match for him.

If it didn't tell the truth, there would be no chance of survival.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Yes, I have two companions currently cultivating on a mountain outside Nan Cheng; we periodically go down the mountain to seize women and practice Absorbing Yin to Supplement Yang to enhance our cultivation."

Saying this, he glanced anxiously at Qin Yang's face; seeing no anger, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In his view, since the other showed no anger, it meant they didn't care about his misdeeds.

He had merely provoked the person the other cared about.

"I'll give you a choice: take me to see your companions, exchange your companions for your life."

Qin Yang said calmly.

That Five Frantic God shook his head, bitterly saying, "I'm no fool; if I take the Upper Immortal to kill my companions, the Upper Immortal will surely kill me too—so why would I betray my companions?"

"I can promise I will absolutely not kill you."

Qin Yang said.

"Really?"

His eyes lit up instantly.

"Absolutely true."

"If so, I'll take you."

The Five Frantic Gods spoke excitedly.

Such a promise from an expert will surely be kept.

The Five Frantic Gods understood this well.

So, as soon as Qin Yang said he wouldn't kill him, he immediately agreed to take Qin Yang to his companions.

As the saying goes, "Better a dead dao friend than a dead pauper"; being an evil entity, he naturally had little loyalty.

Outside Nan Cheng lay a mountain.

When the other two evil entities emerged, they saw Qin Yang and were momentarily stunned.

"How did you bring back a man? Li Han, you're not into men, are you?"

One of them spoke, his eyes cold and poisonous like a viper's.

In fact, this was a poisonous snake that had cultivated into human form, and moreover a highly toxic five-pace snake.

The other laughed, saying, "Li Han, though you brought a man, his body is brimming with spiritual energy; he'd make a fine snack—if we brothers eat him, we might greatly boost our cultivation."

This was a wild boar that had taken human form, a tall young man.

He gazed at Qin Yang with eyes full of desire.

Qin Yang smiled faintly, his gaze falling on the two, and he struck directly.

A powerful aura locked onto the two evil entities.

The two evil entities' faces changed dramatically.

They stared at Qin Yang in terror, wondering how his strength could be so great.

He was a cultivator, and moreover one they could not afford to offend.

By now they had realized what was happening.

Most likely Li Han had slipped up, and under coercion sold them out.

He brought an expert here precisely to take them.

Realizing this, the two evil entities cursed inwardly.

They fled in two directions, hoping to escape Qin Yang's lock.

But as soon as they moved, they were seized back, and Qin Yang's power erupted in his hand.

Pfft.

The two evil entities' bodies burst apart, and their primordial spirits were crushed.

Qin Yang felt a pang of regret; these were formidable evil entities, equivalent to Returning Void cultivators.

If the Ten Thousand Souls Banner were here, we could directly suck their primordial spirits into it.

Only Li Han remained, sweat beading on his forehead as he fearfully gazed at Qin Yang.

At this point he finally understood what kind of person he had provoked.

A Returning Void cultivator crushed two of them with a single grasp.

Even an ordinary Tribulation Crossing expert might not be able to do that.

The other party is absolutely a top‑level expert in the world.

Realizing this, Li Han's hairs stood on end and his face turned Cāngbái.

"Immortal Master, I have done what I promised you; can I leave now?"

Li Han was a little nervous, afraid that Qin Yang would not be willing to let him leave.

After all, the method he just used to kill those two evil beings was too terrifying.

Li Han clearly understood that if the other party wanted to kill him, it would certainly be as easy as just killing his two companions earlier.

Qin Yang's reaction, however, was beyond his expectation; he gave a faint smile and said, 'Since I promised you, I will definitely not kill you—you may go.'

"Thank you, Immortal Master."

Li Han felt a surge of joy in his heart, then turned and was about to run.

But his steps soon stopped.

A Sǎnxiān appeared behind him, staring at him with icy eyes.

Li Han felt icy cold all over.

He looked at Qin Yang, somewhat incredulously asking, 'Immortal Master, is this person your companion? Please tell him that you have already let me go and will not kill me.'

Qin Yang, however, said in surprise, 'I only promised not to kill you; that does not mean I am obligated to stop others from killing you—you are being rather naïve.'

Only then did Li Han understand Qin Yang's meaning.

The other party never intended to let him go.

Qin Yang indeed would not act himself, but his companion would take action.

Facing the attack of a Sǎnxiān, even though Li Han had entered the Return to Void stage, it was impossible for him to escape with his life.

"Shameless, despicable humans, you actually deceive even evil beings."

Li Han shouted angrily.

Xu Qinghui coldly said, 'I thought it was something else, but it turns out to be a Five‑raged Spirit; you evil creature that harms women, upon encountering our Temple Master, still wanting to survive is simply laughable.'

"Are you the Temple Master of Place: Baiyun Guan?"

Li Han felt icy cold all over.

He finally understood why the other party was so powerful.

It turns out to be the Temple Master of Place: Baiyun Guan—no wonder he has such strength.

He gave a bitter laugh and then said, 'As it turns out, the Temple Master of Place: Baiyun Guan is Qin Yang; my death is not unjust.'

Xu Qinghui Dòngshǒu, directly causing Li Han's body and spirit to be destroyed.

Qin Yang smiled and said to Xu Qinghui, 'Thank you for your trouble, Xu the offering.'

"Temple Master, you're too polite; slaying demons and eliminating evil is naturally our duty as cultivators, and besides, I am now an offering of Place: Baiyun Guan, so I naturally ought to follow your orders."

Xu Qinghui laughed.

He had received a great benefit, and now he could be said to be utterly loyal to Place: Baiyun Guan.
