Chapter 115

Zhang Wu and the others were in disarray in the wind. These four are all top talents of an era! Qing Xuan Zi of the Sword Sect, renowned far and wide, had already integrated sword intent at the Foundation Establishment stage, and had stepped onto the Hidden Dragon List hundreds of years ago, being a top existence in Eastern Divine Province. As for the barbarians, needless to say, they hold esteemed status within their tribe; merely promising to help deliver a last testament can yield many tempting benefits. Yet now, Qin Yu actually seemed to reluctantly agree to let them follow him.

Dong Fangyuan saw this scene and secretly rejoiced. Indeed, everything still relies on oneself. Based on this, I can be considered to have made up for past mistakes. From now on, as long as I follow Qin Yu step by step, help him unify the Xuan Yang Sect, and when Qin Yu rises in the future, I will surely have a place beside him.

Then let us set out immediately, first go find Xiao Xiao, rescue her, then sweep the periphery and completely dismember these blood spirits! Qing Xuan Zi's eyes flickered with intense killing intent; his whole person was like a long-hidden sharp sword, its edge fully exposed, as if he would suppress everything.

Tuoba Gou Dan and the three others looked at each other, simultaneously having some ideas, and hurriedly sent voice transmissions to communicate.

Cough, we four were the first to join the young master's camp, so naturally there should be a distinction in seniority.

That's natural; we must stick together and become the young master's most valued followers—this is a once-in-a-thousand-years immortal affinity, absolutely not to be missed.

Having such a gathering of heavenly talents, even if they are somewhat older, just by themselves they could establish a doctrine. Their hearts surged with excitement, thinking of late-blooming greatness; having been reborn, they can still follow such a peerless monster, and their future achievements will surely be limitless. But they also understand that their positions must certainly be differentiated. As the earliest followers of Qin Yu, they naturally need to band together, occupying the most important place in Qin Yu's heart. Even the barbarian prince Tuoba Gou Dan, who is brawny but simple-minded, now has a clear mind and knows what to do.

At that moment, the black-robed youth lying on the ground woke from his faint, he abruptly opened his eyes, seeing a group of human cultivators surrounding him, and angrily shouted: "Why are you still here? Leave quickly!"

Especially when he sensed the cultivation of Qin Yu and the others, his heart sank instantly. Isn't this equivalent to feeding nutrients to that demonic flower? The strongest person here is only at the fourth layer of Huá Ling, and their realm isn't even stable.

But Qing Xuan Zi and the three others blinked, their gazes falling on him. Zhang Wu and the others also turned their eyes to him, that look was as if they were looking at an idiot.

The black-robed youth hastily rose, scanned the surroundings, but did not see that crimson giant flower; only a pale red flower lay in Qin Yu's palm, which looked somewhat familiar.

"You… you dealt with that crimson giant flower?" His face full of astonishment, he warily gazed at Qing Xuan Zi and the three others, who had obviously been controlled before and driven to attack him; their strength was astonishing, reaching the peak of Huá Ling. Even if I revealed all my trump cards, I could not withstand ten of their moves. Yet now, why are they together with members of the Xuan Yang Sect and the Floating Light Sect? He was full of doubt.

Dong Fangyuan eyed him warily and said in a low voice: "That demonic flower earlier has already been dealt with by our sect's heavenly talent. Out of consideration for your earlier kind reminder, I will not act against you—hurry and leave."

The black-robed youth's mouth twitched slightly; indeed, the people of Wan Hai Men are all fools. This Dong Fangyuan is obviously a fraud, merely a lackey. The one who actually survived the forbidden lightning tribulation of the Xuan Yang Sect is someone else.

"Was it you who dealt with it? How could that be…" His gaze fell on Qin Yu. As a top true disciple of the holy land, although he had offended many, he still maintained his position, naturally not stupid. He instantly noticed the others forming a protective circle around Qin Yu, realizing Qin Yu was the leader. After probing with his divine sense, he was shocked—how could it be… a peak of the seventh layer of Foundation Establishment? With such strength, could he have dealt with that demonic flower? Although unclear what happened, now this heaven and earth has been sealed; he must set aside sectarian views and first preserve his life. This place is fraught with danger; a slight misstep could lead to a life-or-death crisis. Since the Xuan Yang Sect group has the strength to resolve a heavenly-tier blood spirit, they naturally also have the strength to resolve a second one. He quickly made up his mind.

Seeing Qin Yu not responding, he lightly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said: "I am Yu Sheng, a true disciple of the Xuan Ming Holy Land. I hope to ally with the Xuan Yang Sect. This place… is a deadly land, known as the Heavenly God Forbidden Zone, famous since ancient times across the realms; I know some related information that could be exchanged for a chance to survive—how about that?"

Qin Yu slightly narrowed his eyes, also feeling this place extremely extraordinary, exuding a chilling aura. If it weren't for Dong Fangyuan's suggestion to boost his strength, he might not have been able to properly resolve the current crisis.

At that moment, Qing Xuan Zi glanced at Yu Sheng and indifferently said: "A mere true disciple of a holy land, do you even deserve to discuss cooperation with my young master? This place is merely the Heavenly God Forbidden Zone; how could it be considered a deadly land? Back then, three great powers once walked out of this place alive. My young master possesses unparalleled talent and magnificent fortune; leading us out of this forbidden zone, what difficulty could there be?"

His tone was full of hostility, thinking: "A so-called holy land doctrine dares to come and discuss cooperation with my young master? Do you know my young master's background? Do you know his strength? At Foundation Establishment he can instantly kill a peak of Huá Ling—have you seen that?" To speak without exaggeration, Qing Xuan Zi now regards Qin Yu as a deity, believing he is omnipotent.

Yu Sheng heard this, paused slightly, then shouted loudly: "Which sect are you from, daring to look down on a holy land?"

He had previously been looked down upon for his talent and strength, but when going out, relying on his identity, he was always held in high esteem, even having saved his life a few times thanks to it. Yet the other party attacks him like this right away? In the entire Eastern Divine Province, the thirty-six domains, only a dozen or so of the five major domains can rival the Xuan Ming Holy Land; amidst the boundless myriad beings, there are only those dozen or so. You lot, half-dead, sucked dry to skin and bones, also dare to comment?

"Sword Sect, Qing Xuan Zi. A few hundred years ago, when I first saw your Xuan Ming Three Holy Sons, with that gloomy demeanor, I found it displeasing, so I hung them up and beat them for three days and three nights—not that it amounts to anything from a great orthodox sect." Qing Xuan Zi glanced at him and said lightly.

"My side should be somewhat stronger than the Sword Sect; I am the barbarian prince, and I know your Xuan Ming Four Holy Sons. Back in the barbarian wastes, he wanted to follow me, but I refused him." Tuoba Gou Dan said, blinking his big bell-like eyes.

The other two, robust youths in Confucian robes with larger frames, lightly coughed and said: "Our foundations are not in the Cangyuan Realm; we come from the Heavenly God Academy, which once produced several literary sages. Although only a few hundred years have passed, it should not yet be extinct, with several great scholars presiding. Though not exceptionally strong, destroying a doctrine without a sage presiding is still no problem. Nowadays, we have followed young master Qin Yu. You weigh for yourself whether you are worthy to cooperate with our young master. As for your so-called information… it probably isn't worth much."

Standing behind Qin Yu, Dong Fangyuan and many Xuan Yang Sect disciples, upon hearing this, couldn't help but straighten their chests. "Holy land? Sorry, the followers of Senior Brother Qin each come from powers of holy-land level, and even surpass them."
