How did you end up running into Blood Bone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing waved his hand and looked toward Lei Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Luo was now gazing at Zhou Qing with deep admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two of the Cangyan Dao Palace’s Five Prodigies slain, yet still ranked tenth on the Most Wanted List as a Golden Core cultivator—now that’s true greatness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu quickly explained: “Lei Luo, disciple of the Golden Thunder Sect—don’t worry, he’s trustworthy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he whispered: “He’s Lei Lie’s younger brother, but he hates being introduced that way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing understood—he was the one who’d joined the third master in digging up their ancestral graves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Greetings, Brother Zhou!” Lei Luo hurried forward to bow respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing returned the bow, then glanced around and asked: “Where is he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu replied: “You mean Brother-in-law? He’s still searching for Second Sister—he can’t join us. I have no idea where Second Sister vanished to; knowing her, after all this time, she’s still nowhere to be found.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing sighed helplessly—he’d encountered Bai He searching for Second Sister last time, and now, after so long, he was still looking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a devoted man—thankfully, he meant no harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You haven’t even told me how you ended up running into—wait, what?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu casually glanced and spotted the small, fist-sized lightning cage in Zhou Qing’s right hand, inside which a miniature golden spirit sat glaring at them with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its eyes burned with hatred and resentment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rushed closer for a better look, then burst into stunned disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… this… you did this?!” Yan Xiaohu’s eyes widened, his voice trembling with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded, sighing helplessly: “What else do you think made Blood Bone chase me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Heart Insight +9]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu’s annotation above his head, “The Godlike Younger Brother,” instantly changed to “The Unhinged Younger Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Sima Yaoji was at the peak of the Soul Formation realm, her spirit was nearly identical to her physical body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Lei Luo recognized it instantly and stared at Zhou Qing in equal disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao, beside them, wore a proud smile, her gaze fixed on Zhou Qing with nothing but admiration and delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough talk—let’s get out of here!” Zhou Qing glanced around and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu snapped back to reality, his face falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d finally gained some fame recently and was looking forward to some glory—now it looked like he’d be overshadowed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m a freak—you’re outright supernatural!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the retreat drum, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged, seizing the chance to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the third master’s account, he now understood what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them had dared to sneak into the Cangyan Dao Palace, wandered around, and shortly after leaving, encountered Bai He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They then joined him in searching for Second Sister, and with Bai He’s help, narrowly escaped the Hua Shen-level Tiger Hunting Squad multiple times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until Bai He first spotted Blood Bone chasing them—and ahead, Zhou Qing fleeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he sent Yan Xiaohu ahead to distract, while he prepared the teleportation array; due to his royal status, he couldn’t directly interfere in sect feuds, so he didn’t come along, planning to search elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing felt deeply grateful—even though he didn’t join directly, at the last moment he still intervened to block one of Blood Bone’s attacks, buying them precious time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This debt must be repaid when the chance arises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This seems to be the Qingniu Ridge area!” Zhou Qing said after regaining some strength and scanning the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu nodded: “That’s right—back then, the Cangyan Dao Palace set up a killing array here to wipe us all out. Time really flies, doesn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing frowned deeply, staring at the unusually calm Sima Yaoji in her cage, and said, “At our current speed, it will take at least three more days to return safely to Taiqingmen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Cangyan Dao Palace and Tianji Gate often ambush travelers on this stretch. The closer we get to home, the more dangerous it becomes—when we let our guard down. Let’s land first; I need to deal with something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing continued, his tone laced with caution and concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu’s expression grew grim as he couldn’t help but think of Tan Qiang, senior brother from Jinyang Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had reached the mountain gate; even Elder Wu Zhu had come out to greet them—and still died a gruesome death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just wonder what’s inside the box he brought back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the group descended and found a cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have several sets of Jinyang Peak disciples’ robes—we can change into them!” Yan Xiaohu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded, but that wasn’t the most important thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji held an extraordinary status in the Cangyan Dao Palace; they’ve likely already received word and are mobilizing fully to rescue and intercept us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the strange black dog that had been guarding Xuegu Lao Gui—it locked onto his scent instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though space teleportation greatly shortened the distance, who can guarantee others don’t possess something similar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, if Sima Yaoji’s storage bag contains any special tracking artifact, we’ll be the brightest star in the darkest night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remove the soul imprint on it!” Zhou Qing held up the storage bag, his eyes icy, addressing Sima Yaoji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji slowly opened her eyes, sneered, and said, “Kill me then—the imprint will vanish on its own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing replied coldly, “You will die—but not by my hand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? So that’s how it is. Since I’m doomed either way, why should I help you?” Sima Yaoji mocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu seemed to sense something and asked, “You want Du Kui to do it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Kui has been kind to us. Only if he does it himself can we walk away clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, his entire life is ruined—let alone reaching Soul Transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu felt a wave of relief; old four’s mind is always so meticulous, so thorough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing the woman’s unyielding expression, he suddenly smiled and said, “What about her corpse?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve got it!” Lu Yaoyao immediately pulled it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the body split cleanly in half, shriveled from massive blood loss, Yan Xiaohu and Lei Luo both sucked in a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they looked at Zhou Qing again, a flicker of awe passed through their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, Sima Yaoji, upon seeing her own charred and ruined corpse—she, who adored beauty—her eyes widened in fury, her rage intensifying as if she wanted to devour Zhou Qing alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu patted his chest, grinning confidently. “Don’t worry—leave it to me. In less than half a stick of incense, I’ll make her remove the imprint willingly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned to him, curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Yan Xiaohu lifted each half of the corpse onto one shoulder, and leered at Sima Yaoji’s Nascent Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting his gaze, Sima Yaoji felt a chill and instinctively stepped back. “W-what are you going to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu licked his lips and chuckled. “I’ve heard the Five Prodigies of Cangyan Dao Palace are all perverts. I’m no exception—I’m one of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re the pervert! Your whole family are perverts!” Sima Yaoji screamed in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then she remembered how this man had repeatedly dug up her sect’s ancestral graves—and a cold dread crept into her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu pulled out a moonstone, placed it under his chin, making his expression eerily distorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stared fixedly at Sima Yaoji and whispered, “I’ve heard you’re extremely picky—no ordinary man has ever caught your eye. So you’re still a virgin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji’s face changed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu suddenly sniffed the two halves of the corpse on his shoulders, his expression rapt, then gently stroked them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t I just tell you? I’m a pervert too… hehe, you understand. Old four, you all leave. Let me seduce her. And borrow her Nascent Soul—I like an audience, especially when it’s her own!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu looked eager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji’s face turned deathly pale; her Nascent Soul trembled uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing and the others felt a wave of revulsion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lei Luo, once a fanboy, instantly turned from admirer to disgusted bystander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Sima, I have an illustrated manual—would you like to pick which position I should use?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But first, I’ll stitch your corpse back together. I’m a rough man, so my stitching might be crude—don’t mind it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your sect’s puppet arts are excellent—maybe you can help move her body a bit, give me a hand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, wait—I just realized, this is your own body! I’ll seal your Nascent Soul so you won’t need to possess another. Then we can proceed directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu mumbled on, pulling out a needle case filled with countless silver needles of varying sizes, glinting coldly—as if he truly meant to sew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Zhou Qing and the others turn to leave, Sima Yaoji couldn’t bear to imagine what this monster would do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of those unspeakable scenes, her mind teetered on collapse—she screamed, “I’ll remove it! I’ll remove it—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing and the others’ eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yan Xiaohu remained immersed in his role, licking a thick needle he’d carefully selected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want to relieve yourself? Not yet—look at this one. I’ll start sewing from your belly, stitch by stitch…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing quickly covered Yan Xiaohu’s mouth and signaled Lei Luo to drag him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t you see Lu Yaoyao’s face is white as paper? She’s about to vomit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since you dug up their ancestral graves, you’ve become this twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Sima Yaoji, now completely broken, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but admire him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few breaths, Zhou Qing successfully opened Sima Yaoji’s storage bag. As his spiritual sense probed inside, his pupils shrank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a cold corpse appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Luo Xue’s body—once dismembered at Linggu Mountain, now stitched back together—Zhou Qing’s heart ached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly noticed something unnatural within her body, and his face darkened with murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You wanted to turn her into a puppet?” Zhou Qing asked, voice icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji still seemed dazed, her eyes filled with terror, her Nascent Soul trembling uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhou Qing gently retrieved the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the soul lamp at the Soul Lamp Pagoda went out, Jinyang Peak has only had a ceremonial tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least now, Sister Luo Xue has come home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing continued searching and found a large quantity of high-grade spirit stones, plus three Jipin  spirit stones sealed in boxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Metal, Fire, Earth—three Jipin  elemental spirit stones!” Zhou Qing froze when he opened the boxes, then burst into ecstatic joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How convenient—he’d planned to return three elemental spirit stones to his Master, and these were exactly the missing ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately took out his own box, removed the three remaining fire-element spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Zhou Qing take her treasures, Sima Yaoji finally snapped back to reality and shouted, “Those are mine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re mine now,” Zhou Qing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he continued searching: several scrolls of Cangyan Dao Palace cultivation techniques, piles of clothes and shoes, and a mess of miscellaneous items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know whether the real treasures had been used or simply not brought out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, there was her identity token and a red square seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After examining it, Zhou Qing’s expression changed—he’d guessed right. This seal was a unique link between her and the other two Nascent Soul Fully Realized prodigies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing tried to destroy it, but found it unnaturally hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Poor Song Yuan and Meng Xing,” Zhou Qing tossed the seal and her identity token into the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, their storage bags didn’t contain this—clear proof Sima Yaoji had told the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though there were five prodigies, the three of them had never once looked at Song Yuan and Meng Xing as equals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for revenge? Just a lie to tell outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go—this place is exposed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Zhou Qing hurriedly told the others, and they quickly departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About two hours later, two figures arrived one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the cave and seeing the seal on the ground, one of them spoke in a chilling voice: “Pursue!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they were within Taiqingmen’s territory; the four knew the terrain well and took only secluded paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For safety, they both contacted their Master for pickup—but received no reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably hasn’t returned yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reluctantly, Lu Yaoyao contacted Sect Master Cao Zhengyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than an hour later, Cao Zhengyang appeared. When he saw Zhou Qing holding Sima Yaoji’s Nascent Soul, he burst into loud laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well done! Wait—you’ve reached Nascent Soul already?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then noticed Lu Yaoyao had advanced from Golden Core Mid-Stage to Full Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just half a year, what heavenly fortune did you two find?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao rushed over, pouting. “Master, it’s a long story—let’s go back and I’ll tell you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhengyang was delighted and immediately led them toward the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Jinyang Peak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the season when Lingyan Flowers bloomed—vast seas of radiant blossoms filled the air with fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Zhou Qing’s Golden Core was shattered and he sat in a wheelchair, Du Kui had brought him here, hoping it would lift his spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, two mounds lay quietly rising amid the sea of flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One stele bore the carving: “Tomb of Second Sister Luo Xue”; the other, facing it, read: “Tomb of Fifth Brother Tan Qiang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peak Master Gao Xian appeared without warning, gazing at Du Kui, sprawled and drunk into oblivion between the two stones, and sighed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a year, the once proud and spirited top disciple of Jin Yang Peak had become unkempt, bearded, and reeked of foul odor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kui’er—” Gao Xian spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Kui slowly opened his eyes, clouded with haze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Xian said: “Zhou Qing has returned. He brought back Sima Yaoji’s Nascent Soul—and Xue’s body!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Kui, moments ago lifeless, suddenly rose to his feet, eyes blazing with murderous intent, then sprinted down the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Du Kui’s retreating back, Gao Xian felt deep sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately activated a jade token, and characters slowly surfaced upon it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Order: Protect Yaoji’s Nascent Soul.
