Chapter 310

Qin Yang felt that Qiao Yue's smile was somewhat ambiguous.

Could it be that Jiang Li has some thoughts about me?

Qin Yang, however, didn't think it was a big deal.

Having thoughts is normal; I am her lifesaver and also her redemption.

If Jiang Li didn't like me, that would be abnormal.

"Let's go back."

Qin Yang said.

He was preparing to leave.

Qiao Yue nodded; she had originally come for the Nine Provinces Cauldron.

Now that the matter is over, naturally we should leave.

Qin Yang's purpose in collecting the Nine Provinces Cauldrons has changed.

Before, it was to prevent the Nine Provinces Cauldrons from being taken away, so that the Divine Lord could return to Long Guo.

But now he isn't worried at all.

Even if the Divine Lord returns to Long Guo, we can just deal with him directly.

The Divine Lord's strength is no longer something he perceives as a threat.

The two prepared to leave.

But then someone came to the door.

"Our sect master invites Mr. Qin to come to Maoshan for a discussion."

A youth dressed as a Daoist knocked on Qin Yang and company's door; when Qin Yang opened the door, the youth directly presented the invitation.

Qin Yang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sect Master Zhang Hao, what do you want with me?"

"The Wu family was exterminated; Sect Master Zhang Hao asks you to clarify, as much evidence shows this matter is related to you."

The young Daoist said this, his tone very respectful, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

He clearly understood that the person before him was no pushover.

If he really got angry, he could easily pinch him to death right here.

He isn't afraid of Maoshan at all.

Qin Yang gave a faint smile, his expression somewhat contemptuous.

"Spouting nonsense with your eyes open—I did go to the Wu family, but the Wu family was wiped out by the people of the Western Holy Light Court, which has nothing to do with me; moreover, I killed those people of the Holy Light Court, which can be counted as avenging the Wu family."

Hearing Qin Yang's words, the disciple was somewhat at a loss, not knowing what to say.

If Qin Yang doesn't go, he wouldn't know what to do.

As for the provocation tactic?

Maybe it would work, but it would cost lives.

Once Qin Yang gets angry, killing him would be as easy as squashing an ant.

Thinking this, the Maoshan disciple dared not say a word.

"Besides, who does Zhang Hao think he is? Waiting for me at Maoshan to explain? Ask him himself—does he deserve it? Whether from status or strength, he lacks the qualifications to put on airs before me."

Qin Yang continued speaking.

The Maoshan disciple didn't even dare to raise his head.

He sensed Qin Yang's anger.

At this point he hardly dared to look into Qin Yang's eyes.

He feared that if he made eye contact with Qin Yang, Qin Yang would kill him.

"Go tell Zhang Hao: if he wants trouble, I, the Daoist, will accompany him; if he wants to know the details, let him come to Baiyun Guan in Nan Cheng to visit me; if I'm in a good mood, I might tell him."

Qin Yang's face was full of a cold smile.

His meaning was quite clear.

If he were in a bad mood, he definitely wouldn't say it.

"Of course, if he wants to make an issue out of this, thinking I did it, that's fine; let him bring Maoshan and have a go at me—I'd like to see if he has that capability."

Qin Yang continued speaking.

One sentence made the young Daoist break out in cold sweat.

"Get lost."

Qin Yang shouted.

"Okay."

The young Daoist said nothing more, turned and ran.

He was decisive, with no hesitation at all.

The young Daoist had no doubt that if he stayed longer, Qin Yang might kill him first.

"You really aren't going?"

Qiao Yue asked.

"Are you worried my reputation will suffer?"

Qin Yang said amusedly.

Qiao Yue nodded.

In her view, cultivators stand above worldly matters; they don't care about mundane things, so what they likely care about is only reputation.

"If Qin Yang doesn't go and the other side talks nonsense, wouldn't that ruin Qin Yang's reputation?"

"You're overthinking it; let me tell you, the cultivation world is a more primitive place than the mundane realm—there aren't so many benevolence and morality; it's simply might makes right. Since I'm stronger than them, they dare not say anything, even if I act against the norm. And if I were weaker than them, even if I were flawless and impeccable, they would still think I have a problem."

Qin Yang said with a smile.

So, he is that strong.

With absolute strength, who cares what the opponent thinks.

If they dare come, he dares to kill.

The strong are revered — it's not just empty talk.

Qiao Yue understood.

"I understand."

Qiao Yue nodded.

Qin Yang smiled.

They returned together to Nan Cheng.

Qiao Yue had also been busy for so long; now she wanted to find some time to rest properly.

The most important thing is that she needs to calm down and increase her strength.

Now she has entered Foundation Establishment, but compared to Jin Gang, she is still far behind.

Jin Gang has already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, just half a step away from forming a Golden Core.

Qin Yang judged that Jin Gang would certainly enter the Golden Core stage within half a month.

Thus, Qiao Yue's strength is indeed a bit too weak.

Of course, this is also because she is the captain; some members went to Baiyun Guan to improve, so Qiao Yue naturally has to be busier.

Those martial arts sects and clans are never peaceful.

Moreover, some foreign martial arts masters often cause trouble.

Qiao Yue rarely has free time.

Now that everyone's strength has increased, she actually has some time.

"Perfect, this time you stay in Nan Cheng for a while, and I'll help you reach the peak of Golden Core."

Qin Yang said.

Golden Core Peak?

Qiao Yue was stunned.

From Foundation Establishment to Golden Core Peak, can it be that fast?

How long would that take?

"Don't worry, it won't take long; you just need to serve me more."

Qin Yang said.

With his current strength, through dual cultivation, if we ignore foundation issues, he could make Qiao Yue achieve Nascent Soul in one month, Spirit Transformation in three months, and Return to Void in half a year.

But doing so would make her future path difficult.

If the foundation is unstable, even if she becomes an immortal, it would be hard to improve further.

This is also why Qin Yang has never allowed the women around him to greatly increase their strength.

"No problem."

Qiao Yue naturally agreed happily.

How can such a pleasant thing be considered her serving Qin Yang?

Clearly, Qin Yang is the one putting in effort, while the enjoyment is still hers.

Returned to Nan Cheng.

Qin Yang directly integrated the fourth Jiuzhou Ding into it.

Instantly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here became at least ten times richer.

"Such rich heavenly-earth spiritual energy; even before Jue Tian Di Tong, there wasn't such rich spiritual energy, right?"

Xuan Xiao said in shock.

He knew he had found the right person.

Especially after knowing that Song Tianci, in just seven days, had already become a Great Ascension expert, he worked even harder.

Now that the heavenly-earth spiritual energy is rich, his cultivation speed will increase; likely before long he will reach the peak of Tribulation Crossing and then begin to transform into Great Ascension.

"We still need one more Jiuzhou Ding; then this place can produce immortal spirit qi, and you won't need immortal artifacts—just cultivating here will let you directly advance from Tribulation Crossing to Great Ascension."

Qin Yang said.

In the legends, mortals of the immortal realm need not undergo heavenly tribulation at all; reaching Tribulation Crossing is enough to transform into Great Ascension.

Because they have sufficient immortal spirit qi around them, they do not need to use heavenly tribulation to force the transformation.
