Chapter 908
At this moment, several guardians hurriedly returned.
Immediately, a robust voice echoed from inside, "You little rascal, daring to disturb my closed-door cultivation upon your return! Hurry up and come in!"
Wei Ling’Er saw her master come out of seclusion and gleefully entered with a beaming smile.
She quickly saw a middle-aged man with long interwoven black and white hair. He looked rather unkempt and didn’t seem to care much about his appearance.
However, his aura was as vast as the starry sky, seemingly infinite at a glance.
Wei Ling’Er knew that this was her master, Master Lei He.
Master Lei He shot Wei Ling’Er a dissatisfied glance, "You girl, your courage grows by the day! Knowing that I am cultivating in seclusion, yet you dare to disturb me!"
"I remember you just ran off to Holy Wood City, didn’t you? What, didn’t finish your matters and ran back? Interrupting my seclusion, speak, what punishment should you receive?"
Wei Ling’Er was not surprised by her master’s reprimand; instead, she smiled cheekily and said, "Master, listen to what I have to say first, and then decide whether to punish me, it’s not too late!"
Master Lei He retorted impatiently, "I doubt you can come up with anything significant!"
Wei Ling’Er smiled pleasantly, "Well then, if you don’t want to hear, forget it. It’s just a pity that this person, who single-handedly slew an Elite Demon, won’t be someone you can meet!"
After saying this, Wei Ling’Er was about to leave with hands clasped behind her back.
She pretended to leave, but her eyes darted around, clearly waiting for her master to ask her to stay.
Just as she expected.
Master Lei He immediately showed interest, "What did you say? Single-handedly slew an Elite Demon? Come on, tell your master what exactly happened!"
"Don’t joke around with your master, you should know, such a thing is almost impossible!"
Wei Ling’Er grinned, "I know how unbelievable it is, otherwise why would I rush back to find you from so far away?"
"Rest assured, I witnessed the entire affair with my own eyes!"
"Without a doubt, not missing a single detail!"
Master Lei He, seeing that Wei Ling’Er was not joking, said, "Quickly clarify the whole story!"
Wei Ling’Er didn’t hesitate and soon recounted her journey to Holy Wood City and the events with Qin Qi and others in detail!
Hearing of Qin Qi’s display of prowess, defeating an Elite Demon single-handedly, it was indeed genuine.
Master Lei He suddenly jumped up in astonishment.
"Is there really such a remarkable person?"
"This Elite Demon has been a significant headache for human cultivators for years, and he disposed of it on his own?"
Wei Ling’Er smiled sweetly, "Now you can’t blame me for disturbing your seclusion!"
Master Lei He stood with hands behind his back, "That guy should still be in Holy Wood City, right!"
"Shouldn’t have left!" Wei Ling’Er slightly parted her red lips, "I bet City Lord Feng’s eyes were glued to Qin Qi, how could she let him leave so easily!"
"Most likely, Qin Qi is still in Holy Wood City without a chance to leave!"
Master Lei He lazily remarked, "Would it require a Nascent Soul Stage expert like me to fight a Core Formation Stage junior over this kid!"
"Ha, that would indeed be quite embarrassing, but if the kid really has the ability to slay an Elite Demon, then so be the embarrassment!"
"Alright, prepare now, we’ll head to Holy Wood City immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Ling’Er beamed with joy, "Master, I was just waiting for you to say that!"
...
Like Wei Ling’Er, Zhang Mingtong also returned to his own city in no time to report the matter of Qin Qi to the elders of his faction.
These people, upon hearing that Qin Qi, with a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation of the sixth tier, was able to slay an Elite Demon.
Their shock and reaction were not much different from Master Lei He’s.
Thus.
The news of Qin Qi slaying an Elite Demon spread incredibly quickly.
In less than a day, the story spread across the battlefield and several cities.
For a time, many people began discussing the matter.
...
Meanwhile, on the Tianqing City side.
Bai Qingrou was with her disciple Qing Residence, accompanied by the latter’s wife, Luo Yanran!
The current Qing Residence’s complexion had improved compared to before, though he hadn’t yet gotten out of bed, indicating the evil qi injury hadn’t completely healed.
Luo Yanran was meticulously caring for him, with great attention to detail.
Bai Qingrou, by his side, advised, "This time, we’ve got some elixir pills from Feng Xiao Xiao, enough to heal your injuries significantly in a short time!"
"Once your injuries have recovered, don’t continue any conflicts with Qin Qi."
Qing Residence’s expression turned ugly upon hearing this, "Master, looking at my miserable state, you say I shouldn’t settle the score with him?"
"How, how is that possible!"
Bai Qingrou scolded angrily, "You’ve opposed him repeatedly? What good has come of it? And now, Qin Qi still holds something against you!"
"Once he reveals this, what will you do then?"
Luo Yanran also earnestly advised, "Yes, as long as you don’t cause trouble for Qin Qi, he certainly won’t become your enemy!"
"Let bygones be bygones, my husband, shall we?"
However, to Qing Residence, this was undoubtedly the most unacceptable thing to hear.
His master, his wife, were both speaking for Qin Qi?
And yet, telling him to endure!
Why should he!
"Shut up!"
Qing Residence shouted angrily, "Do I need you to teach me how to handle things?"
Luo Yanran bit her lip lightly, feeling wronged, but could only silently endure.
At this moment!
Several figures rushed in from outside.
"Holy Maiden!"
Several disciples of the Tianlan Sect hurriedly bowed in a fluster.
Bai Qingrou frowned and inquired, "What’s the matter, why so flustered!"
Looking at each other, the disciples quickly explained the situation, "It’s about Qin Qi in Holy Wood City!"
"Oh? What’s the situation? The Elite Demon shouldn’t have been easy to deal with!"
Bai Qingrou’s tone carried a hint of concern, "He should be alright, after all, deploying four top-tier talents at once, even if defeated, should still return safely!"
The disciples took a deep breath, "It’s not that way, rather, Qin Qi performed too exceptionally!"
"Now, the news has already spread outside. We feel the situation doesn’t seem right, so we’re quickly reporting to you, Holy Maiden!"
"Too exceptionally?"
Bai Qingrou looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Ultimately, one disciple truthfully recounted, "According to rumors, Qin Qi, nearly single-handedly, slew the Elite Demon in Holy Wood City!"
