Chapter 321: Collecting Interest
Early the next morning, Su Nuan Yue saw the news.
Only then did she learn what Qin Yang had done the previous night—he had actually killed the heads of those families.
What a heavenly meteor, burning those people to death.
In Su Nuan Yue's view, it was most likely Qin Yang's doing.
She knew Qin Yang's character well; he would never take insults lying down.
"Thank you, husband."
Su Nuan Yue eagerly leaned into Qin Yang's embrace and offered a fragrant kiss.
Coming up with this so early in the morning, Qin Yang felt his fire rising a bit.
Sensing Qin Yang's state, Su Nuan Yue was startled.
Her face flushed slightly, but she didn't pull away; instead, she gently rubbed against him a few times.
She acted boldly, clearly teasing Qin Yang.
Qin Yang couldn't hold back; he immediately moved to pick up Su Nuan Yue and carry her into the room.
Just then, Jin Gang arrived.
"Is the god‑swindler here?"
Qin Yang glared at Jin Gang.
Seeing Qin Yang holding Su Nuan Yue, clearly about to rush into the room, Jin Gang knew he had ruined Qin Yang's moment.
He gave an embarrassed laugh and then said, "I didn't want to disturb you, but there really is something important."
"Speak."
Qin Yang said.
Having brought it to this point, Jin Gang left Qin Yang no choice but to listen.
"Lately, many people have gone missing in Hai Cheng, all of them students."
Jin Gang said.
"People missing? Why are you coming to me? Go to the law enforcers."
"Did they disappear at the Daoguo school?"
Jin Gang continued.
Qin Yang blinked in surprise.
Daoguo school? The Daoguo school in Long Guo.
He seemed to understand a bit.
"Is it related to the Daoguo school?"
"Yeah, someone saw them enter the Daoguo school and never come out, but when we investigated we found nothing; even a few of our Dragon Pavilion brothers went there and turned up no clues."
Jin Gang furrowed his brows.
Qin Yang's expression suddenly stiffened.
Now the Dragon Pavilion's strong cultivators are nothing like before; they are all practitioners, at least at the Foundation Establishment level.
Even they noticed nothing wrong, which itself is a problem.
People don't just vanish for no reason; it must be tied to the Daoguo school.
Xiǎng dào zhèlǐ, Qin Yang's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said, "Then let's seize all the students and teachers of the Daoguo school, question them one by one—what's there to be polite about?"
Hearing Qin Yang's words, Jin Gang could only laugh and cry.
He said directly, "I thought of that too, but someone objects."
"Why should we care whether the Daoguo people object or not? Do we have to consult them before we act?"
Qin Yang's face showed utter contempt.
Jin Gang's expression grew even stranger.
"It's not the Daoguo people but Long Guo people who think we're targeting Daoguo, claiming we're creating conflict and shouldn't harm the friendship between the two nations over a few missing children."
Jin Gang explained.
Hearing this, Qin Yang nearly exploded with rage.
He coldly said, "These people are sheepdogs, soft‑boned, worthless curs."
Jin Gang let out a sigh.
Some people are just like that—they must think differently to feel unique.
Others are genuinely holy mothers.
By the time the enemy's blade swings at their throats, they may still not wake up.
"I'll handle it."
Qin Yang said.
He felt a bit frustrated with Jin Gang, glanced at him, and said bluntly, "From now on, if anyone dares to block such matters, just take them down—crush the stubborn and senseless. Why make it so difficult?"
Qin Yang was thoroughly annoyed, even coerced by those holy mothers?
They know jack squat.
"It won't happen again."
Jin Gang said.
"Follow me on this; I'll only show you once."
"Okay."
Jin Gang nodded.
The two set out.
Qin Yang, with Jin Gang, shot straight up into the sky.
Seeing the mountains and rivers beneath his feet disappear in an instant, Jin Gong's face was filled with shock.
He looked at Qin Yang and also sensed Qin Yang's change.
In the past, Qin Yang would definitely have taken a vehicle to go out.
But now Qin Yang is different; he directly used a cultivator's ability and flew over.
Perhaps Qin Yang himself hasn't even noticed his own change.
He is increasingly shedding the mundane world, and the worldly aura on him is fading more and more.
At this moment, Qin Yang is more like a cultivator of profound ability.
"What's wrong? You're not afraid of heights, are you?"
Qin Yang teased.
"Don't you feel that you've changed?"
Jin Gang asked.
"Changed?"
Qin Yang was a little puzzled.
"You've become less like a person and more like a legendary immortal."
Jin Gang said seriously.
Qin Yang thought for a moment, then said lightly, "There's no real change; humans and immortals aren't that different—just a shift in how we handle things. After I stay in the mortal world a while, I'll become human again. It's not that I've changed; it's that your view of me has changed."
Jin Gong froze.
"That actually makes some sense."
"But it also feels like a twisted fallacy."
They arrived at the school of Daoguo.
"Such strong yin energy."
Qin Yang said in surprise.
Jin Gang was somewhat surprised and asked, "Where does this yin energy come from? I can't sense it."
"The hidden yin energy—I roughly know what happened to those children."
Qin Yang said.
"How is it?" Jin Gong's heart jolted, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"They're raising ghosts here; those missing kids were probably fed to evil spirits. This bunch of beasts from Daoguo dare to harm my Long Guo people."
Qin Yang said through gritted teeth.
"These beasts."
Jin Gong's eyes also turned red, his fury skyrocketing.
"How many children died?"
Qin Yang asked.
"Twenty-three, and I don't know if there are any other victims."
"Not just that."
Qin Yang shook his head.
"If it were just over twenty children, there couldn't be such terrifying yin energy."
"What should we do now?"
Jin Gong asked.
"Easy—an eye for an eye, blood for blood."
Having said that, Qin Yang's hand manifested the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
The next moment, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner hovered above the Daoguo school.
Hundreds of souls were instantly sucked into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner; everyone here died out.
And that's not all—torrential yin energy erupted.
One after another, fierce ghosts wearing the s2 season combat uniforms were drawn into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
All this happened in the blink of an eye; after Qin Yang retracted the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Jin Gong finally came to his senses.
Only then did he realize that Qin Yang had slaughtered that Daoguo school.
Hundreds of Daoguo students and teachers were all killed.
"Let's go."
"Where to?"
Jin Gong asked.
"Daoguo."
Qin Yang said calmly.
Jin Gong's whole body shuddered.
He understood what Qin Yang intended to do.
At this moment, Qin Yang was inquiring of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
"How many living souls can you still absorb at most?"
"Five million."
Treasure Spirit replied.
Qin Yang furrowed his brows; it's a bit low.
Alright, let's go collect some interest first.
Qin Yang brought Jin Gang to above Daoguo.
Afterwards, in Jin Gang's Zhènjīng gaze, Qin Yang sacrificed the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Below, the city saw large swaths of people collapsing, millions of souls being sucked into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
At that moment, tribulation clouds gathered above the heavens.
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner's quality has increased; it seems they will continue to undergo the tribulation.
