Chapter 294 - 292: Could Sister Also...
After that day, Sect Leader didn’t keep Qin Yu around for long.
After all, if her younger sister really came looking and discovered anything, she, as the elder sister, would be utterly humiliated.
Back then, she outright refused.
But now she’s doing this sort of thing.
The main issue was the incident ten days ago that left Sect Leader deeply ashamed!
Fortunately, Liu Zixiao, that vile woman, didn’t witness the scene; otherwise, she would definitely be mocked for some time.
Then.
Without giving Qin Yu a chance to prove himself, she drove him out from the cave mansion.
When the bird is gone, the bow is put away!
Kill the donkey once it finishes milling!
Forget the trap after catching fish!
So it is.
However, he would reclaim his dignity sooner or later!
He still needed to enhance the Pure Yang Divine Body.
When he returned to the Saintess Cave Mansion, it happened to be night, and Yin Qinghe, Su Xiyue, and the others were all eating in the courtyard.
"Brother-in-law!"
"Little Junior Brother!"
Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli, as usual, ran to his embrace, clinging to him from both sides, refusing to let go.
Qin Yu naturally indulged them.
Older they may be now, but their personalities hadn’t changed a bit.
Qin Yu delighted in this.
With their constant chatter, the cave mansion seemed livelier.
Qin Yu sat down, while Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli still nestled on each of his thighs.
Su Xiyue gave him a glance.
Qin Yu’s mysterious ten-day retreat had already made her suspicious.
Regarding advancement, Qin Yu had never retreated before, and by progress, he was still far from the mid-Golden Core stage.
As for Spiritual Power...
A breakthrough in Spiritual Power requires enlightenment and cannot be planned; if Qin Yu were in an enlightened state, it would have been Liu Zixiao or even... her elder sister transmitting the message.
Therefore, it’s likely Qin Yu wasn’t in a state of enlightenment.
What then caused him to retreat for ten days straight?!
Moreover, Liu Zixiao visited the Sect Leader’s Cave Mansion every day during this time, ruling her out as the cause.
Su Xiyue’s heart fluttered.
Could it be her elder sister?!
Su Xiyue understood how much her sister had sacrificed for her.
She even gave all resources belonging to the Sect Leader to her.
Thanks to her sister’s protection, Su Xiyue became the First Fairy of Yunlan Domain.
She knew the pressure her sister faced and the disdain she endured all alone.
Hence, she wanted to share some of her sister’s burdens and responsibilities.
Ever since Su Xihe suffered severe injuries, she had been extremely worried but was unsure how to console her sister.
She couldn’t possibly say: Sister, borrow my man for a while.
How shameful.
Such words were hard to say to her sister.
In many ways, Su Xiyue had deliberately implicated signs to her sister, but stopped short of outright stating them.
Leng Ruyu was an obvious example in front of her.
She knew her sister had visited a few times.
Su Xiyue had suspicions but was hesitant to ask Qin Yu.
At night.
The Saintess Cave Mansion remained lively.
Meanwhile.
Hundred Sword Sect.
Boom....
Roar Roar....
Huge Cloud Ships and countless demon beast mounts soared in the sky, darkening the skies like a massive army besieging Hundred Sword Sect.
The heavens seemed shrouded by clouds, sunlight barely penetrating, casting mottled shadows across the earth; within a hundred miles, Immortal Sect cultivators abounded, each aura like a rainbow, brimming with murderous intent, creating a heart-palpitating pressure.
For years, Hundred Sword Sect had committed many atrocities in surrounding areas, notorious for their evil deeds, including nearly a hundred missing Immortal Sect cultivators, not to mention the countless missing loose cultivators.
Initially, the Immortal Sects were unaware of the connection between the disappearances and Hundred Sword Sect, but once Qin Yu discovered it, the matter became publicly known.
Despite this revelation, Hundred Sword Sect only intensified its malicious conduct, ultimately prompting allied Immortal Sects to besiege them.
As the allied Immortal Sects were poised to annihilate Hundred Sword Sect, eager to divide its resources.
Suddenly, on the originally silent Sect Leader Peak, a dense and sticky black mist erupted like a volcanic explosion, rapidly spreading like an avalanche in mere moments.
"Not good, retreat quickly!"
Clearly, someone recognized the black mist and fearfully warned.
However, it was too late; the peak suddenly unleashed seventeen black banners, transforming with the wind, ensnaring a hundred miles instantaneously.
"Ah...."
"What is this.... My hand...."
"Evil Qi, this is Evil Qi...."
"...."
Agonized screams reverberated, Golden Core cultivators attempting to resist, yet the black Qi corroded everything, spreading like maggots consuming flesh, rendering resistance futile, disappearing into the mist in mere breaths.
Crash!
Crash!
In the Life Token Hall of Worship of Cyan Mountain Sect, the sound of shattering tokens pierced the serene atmosphere.
The elder keeping watch opened his eyes, raising his head, his pupils constricting, face aghast.
"Something’s happened, something major!"
Not only Cyan Mountain Sect, but Demon Sect and other Immortal Sects faced the same situation.
The shattering of Life Tokens signified their demise.
Dong dong dong!....
Loud bell tolls echoed throughout Cyan Mountain Sect.
Sect Leader Su Xihe’s face changed upon hearing the news, hurriedly heading to the Main Hall with Liu Zixiao for strategic discussions.
Qin Yu followed.
He couldn’t speak but could listen in.
Understanding the specifics, he too couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Over a dozen Golden Core cultivators, two at the Golden Core Peak, armed with treasures.
More than a hundred Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, and hundreds of loose cultivators, totaling over a thousand.
Yet such a formidable force was annihilated within less than half an hour?!
Upon learning the black Qi was the culprit, Su Xihe and Liu Zixiao’s eyes turned solemn.
Indeed, aside from black Qi, even Hundred Sword Sect’s Sect Leader Jian Hai couldn’t have exterminated so many cultivators in such a short time.
After hours of deliberation among high-ranking members, no solutions emerged, leaving Su Xihe waiting for Cyan Mist Hall’s updates while dispatching cultivators near Hundred Sword Sect to investigate from afar.
Days later.
The spies dispatched found no activity within Hundred Sword Sect, daringly approaching closer, witnessing scenes making their scalps tingle.
