Chapter 201: Self-Detonation

Wu Feng Zhenren's face darkened as he looked at the sword qi coiling around him, like a volcano erupting, Qinghe Xianzi suddenly realized what?

You.... you have restarted cultivation in this life, and furthermore, using the Nine Turn Technique's power, you have cultivated nine turns to reach the Golden Core Stage?!

Qinghe Xianzi chuckled: "You're not that stupid."

Hiss!!!

Wu Feng Zhenren's face changed drastically; as a Profound Mountain Dao cultivator, how could he not know how terrifying the Nine Turn Technique is?

Why has the cultivation world always prohibited cultivators from practicing the Nine Turn Technique?

Isn't it because if the Nine Turn Technique falls into the hands of those unscrupulous cultivators, they can keep cultivating it and reach a power level beyond their own realm?!

Just like the Qinghe Xianzi before him, who is only at the early Golden Core Stage, yet her power level is actually on par with his mid-Golden Core?!

Don't think it's impossible, because she, too, is one of the top ten immortal aptitudes, the "Free and Easy Sword Heart"!

While her aptitude surpasses countless cultivators, it also means her cultivation speed is naturally fast to an astonishing degree, and furthermore, the power cultivated from her immortal aptitude far exceeds that of cultivators of the same realm!

And then supplemented with the Nine Turn Technique's Nine Turn Power?!

Even the Orthodox Profound Gate wouldn't dare allocate such cultivation resources to its disciples, would it?

Know that the Nine Turn Technique was created precisely because cultivators' aptitude is too poor; for those with good aptitude, practicing the Nine Turn Technique is harder and requires more resources!

The Nine Turn Technique was meant to narrow the gap between ordinary and genius cultivators, but what if genius cultivators also practice it without regard for cost?

Now, Wu Feng Zhenren basically understands.

What is called true invincibility!

Even if it's early Golden Core Stage, even if it's one major realm behind him, relying solely on power level they can match him, and even surpass him in the power cultivated from their aptitude!

"Where do you get so many resources to cultivate the Nine Turn Technique? With immortal aptitude cultivating the Nine Turn Technique, the resources consumed would surely be enough for you to break through beyond the Nascent Soul Stage, right?"

"That's none of your business!"

Qinghe Xianzi snorted coldly; even facing Wu Feng Zhenren equipped with the Accumulation Beast Armor, she still raised her sword and advanced!

Wu Feng Zhenren was forced to respond, and only then did he finally realize where the gap between him and Qinghe Xianzi lay.

Qinghe Xianzi's sword qi crisscrossed; with just two swords she broke through the outer defense of Wu Feng Zhenren's armor!

This isn't even the main point; although Wu Feng Zhenren's White Crane Armor excels in mobility, facing Qinghe Xianzi's Sword Flash Divine Ability it was toyed with like a cat playing with a mouse, and another two strikes directly severed one wing of the White Crane Armor!

Wu Feng Zhenren spat out a mouthful of blood inside his armor; his Natal Accumulation Device was damaged, and although he had more than one Natal Accumulation Device, being spiritually connected, even as a mid-Golden Core cultivator he could not remain unharmed.

"Xiao Wu Feng, I've given you a chance."

Wu Feng Zhenren took a deep breath, looking at the sword-wielding Qinghe Xianzi slowly approaching, he gave a bitter laugh:

"I, Wu Feng, entered the sect from childhood, received my master's teachings, and had senior brothers and sisters supporting each other, all the way to now....."

Qinghe Xianzi frowned: "What, now you want to beg for mercy?"

"Just now you didn't care about fellow sect affection, you wanted to catch me, right?"

"Look at this sword in my hand—whether it can cut off your neck is all that matters!"

Suddenly, at the moment Wu Feng Zhenren removed his armor, he widened his eyes and glared at her: "Traitorous sect rebel, sinner Qinghe! I, Wu Feng, will die today, and it is for the stability of the Gen Dao situation in the Nan Ting Mountain Region that I die; though I die, my heart holds no regret!"

Qinghe Xianzi's face changed, she suddenly reached out: "Junior fellow disciple, don't!"

Boom!

Qinghe Xianzi vanished in the blink of an eye; looking from a thousand li away at the earth-shattering massive explosion in the Lingyu that affected far and wide, her face inevitably darkened.

"Idiot! Beg for mercy, I'll cripple you but still let you live—why go through all this...."

For the stability of Gen Dao? For Profound Mountain Dao? Or for the master?

Little do you know you're merely a disposable pawn.

Qinghe Xianzi looked at the increasingly chaotic Lingyu and burst out laughing.

All the shops in the Grand Workshop Market closed, as scattered cultivators gathered in groups, beginning to smash, loot, and burn in the chaos; as the explosion's news came, they merely paused a moment before continuing to seize Spiritual Stones and various cultivation resources.

Even if local cultivation forces were present, they now dare not go out, only able to guard in front of their own properties to prevent surprise attacks.

Moreover, those two external forces had long since disguised themselves as scattered cultivators and began looting.

But this is not the main point.

"Loot, loot—cultivation is all about looting and contending!" Qinghe Xianzi laughed loudly.

"Those who don't contend are first-rate mediocres!"

She utterly loathed Profound Mountain Dao, utterly loathed the Nan Ting Mountain Region, and utterly loathed those senior elders who, occupying high positions, only cared about their own cultivation while disregarding lower-level cultivators!

What kind of seniors are they?

They're nothing but a bunch of plunderers!

Since no one dares to start this, let me do it.

Qinghe Xianzi was crazier than anyone imagined; at this moment she suddenly sensed a disturbance at the Human Habitation Tower, her heart leapt:

"Has the Human Emperor Banner broken free?!"

"Who did it?!"

Qinghe Xianzi ignored the people below and flew toward the Human Habitation Tower.

Meanwhile.

The local forces within the Lingyu gathered together after packing up all the Spiritual Stone goods from their own industries, seemingly not surprised by today's events.

Only those scattered merchant cultivators with no backing could possibly encounter any unexpected trouble.

Even Profound Mountain Dao would not lightly offend these local forces—who doesn't have some connections above?

"Young Master Hu Zhenfeng, the Lingyu has descended into this chaos, yet the Profound Mountain Dao cultivators haven't appeared to maintain order—could they be planning to abandon the Lingyu?"

"Yes, Young Master Hu, your Hu family's relationship with Profound Mountain Dao is so close; although we'd heard some rumors before, we never imagined things would turn out like this."

The absence of Profound Mountain Dao cultivators in such a chaotic situation itself signals something.

For these local forces, naturally they have suffered great losses!

Not to mention the loss of the shops, just the few Lingyu treasure lands they jointly oversee now look utterly destroyed—this loss is huge!

Hu Zhenfeng glanced outside, chuckled, and said, "Let's go, it's time."

"What?"

"I said, it's time. You wouldn't think that the outside forces of Liehuo Sect and Bei Yue Sect came just for sightseeing, would you?" Hu Zhenfeng said with a slight smile.

All the cultivators present were astonished, as if Hu Zhenfeng really knew a lot of inside information!

"Young Master Hu, please speak plainly—what should we do now?"

"First, go clear out the cultivators causing trouble in the city, order them not to act rashly, or else they will be killed without pardon!"

"Then another group, follow me to Baolong Land, and open that Dragon-Suppressing Hall!" Hu Zhenfeng said, full of vigor.

Upon hearing this, a group of cultivators immediately felt something odd.

Not to mention whether maintaining Lingyu stability is their duty, but Baolong Land....

Although nominally it belongs to Profound Restraint Dao, in fact it is indeed jointly overseen by them.

As for what's inside that Dragon-Suppressing Hall, don't they know?

Before, they had neither the opportunity nor the courage to take it, but now Profound Restraint Dao's behavior—could it not be....

Several cultivators, upon thinking, immediately said: "We need to hurry, lest outsiders get hold of it!"
