Chapter 442: Ranting Heavily at Qi Yuan

Chapter 442: Railing at Qi Yuan

Outside the cave dwelling, Yu Mengxian stood nervously, her expression tinged with worry.

The Mixed Blood Sect was overbearing, buying people with immortal jade without a word of explanation.

About half an hour later, a voice came from within the cave.

"How could I take my disciple's treasure? Take back the Celestial Origin Stone; I shall visit the Mixed Blood Sect myself."

The Wind Spirit Heavenly Sovereign's tone was rueful and helpless.

Even as a Yang God, he could not attain true freedom or true ease.

Of course, compared to other cultivators, being a Yang God was still far too comfortable.

Hearing this, Yu Mengxian felt grateful.

Yet the Heavenly Sovereign's next words were like cold water poured over her heart.

"The Mixed Blood Sect has always been arrogant and overbearing, and Tuoba Lingyu is the most beloved granddaughter of the sect's founder. I fear... even I can do nothing about this."

With that, the Wind Spirit Heavenly Sovereign's form dissipated.

His meaning was clear: he might not be able to stop Tuoba Lingyu, and he was hinting for Yu Mengxian to take Qi Yi and flee.

On the other side, Qi Yi's expression shifted upon hearing this. "Master, this is all my fault."

If not for her, her master would not have suffered such humiliation.

"This has nothing to do with you. Blame only that Tuoba Lingyu!"

Yu Mengxian's heart was in turmoil.

The Heavenly Sovereign's hint was obvious: she should take Qi Yi and leave.

In the Realm of Ultimate Principle, even as a Heavenly Sovereign, there were many things he could not do.

The Heavenly Sovereign's final effort to visit the Mixed Blood Sect was merely buying her time to escape with Qi Yi.

But... escape?

Once targeted by the Mixed Blood Sect, how could one escape?

Every cultivator in the Lower Three Heavens knew of the Mixed Blood Sect's shamelessness.

For the sake of bloodlines, they captured at will.

Anyone they set their sights on had almost no hope of survival.

Yu Mengxian even felt that if she took Qi Yi and fled, they might be walking right into the Mixed Blood Sect's trap.

"Master, the Mixed Blood Sect wants me. I do not wish to implicate you!" Qi Yi said, her face grave after some thought.

If she continued to seek her master's protection, her master might fall as well.

At that moment, Qi Yi understood more clearly the cruelty of the cultivation world.

If, on Archstar, some nobles still maintained a semblance of face and moral righteousness,

In the cultivation world, such things meant nothing.

Demon cultivators even wished to carve the word "demon" on their foreheads, declaring to all, "I am a demon cultivator."

In the Ghost Dominion of the Sixth Heaven, they casually refined living beings into Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banners, hunting them realm by realm. Did any major power stop them?

No.

In the Sixth Heaven, strength was everything.

Yu Mengxian looked at Qi Yi, and the face of that Heavenly Sovereign surfaced in her mind.

If she had that Heavenly Sovereign's power, how could she let Qi Yi suffer?

Back then, in the Strange Land, that Heavenly Sovereign had vanished inexplicably, and Robot Zero-One had found her, entrusting her with something to give to Qi Yuan.

In the end, she had taken Qi Yi and left Archstar. When she looked back, Archstar had disappeared.

"A pity Archstar is gone. If we had a chance to return there, the Mixed Blood Sect would never find us."

Yu Mengxian sighed.

Of course, it was only a thought.

The distance from here to the entrance of the Fire Spirit Realm was far too great.

They would likely be intercepted by the Mixed Blood Sect before they even arrived.

Suddenly, Yu Mengxian thought of something and couldn't help asking, "Your younger brother... does he have any connection to the Black Abyss?"

She recalled the figure she had seen in the Black Abyss.

Qi Yi looked puzzled, then shook her head. "No."

Her master on Archstar had been Qi Yuan's mother.

As for that younger brother, her feelings were complicated.

Originally, she had only wanted him to live an ordinary life, not to be drawn into the vortex.

Who would have thought he would suddenly become a Yang God Heavenly Sovereign?

"But... it's possible he does have a connection," Qi Yi added seriously after some thought.

After all, she knew too little about that younger brother.

Yu Mengxian frowned. "Among the prodigies who came to the Ultimate Principle Discourse from the Black Abyss, I thought I saw him."

She was puzzled. If it were Qi Yuan, how could he be standing among those prodigies?

Those prodigies were only Yin Gods.

"Ah?" Qi Yi was taken aback.

"A pity our status is too low. We cannot even seek an audience with someone from the Black Abyss," Yu Mengxian lamented.

Even Tuoba Lingyu of the Mixed Blood Sect, if she went to pay a visit, would likely have to wait a long time before her message reached that person.

After all, prodigies of that level received countless visitors daily. Unless one was important, a visiting card might never reach the hands of that Black Abyss prodigy.

"I had someone investigate earlier. The information came back: that person is called Blood Robe, the second-ranked prodigy in the Black Abyss, rumored to be a genius who could become a Yang God of the Ultimate Principle Realm. It probably isn't... Qi Yuan." When she went to see the Wind Spirit Heavenly Sovereign, Yu Mengxian had also asked Zhao Yu to look into that person's identity.

Just now, Zhao Yu had sent her the results of the investigation.

She felt a little disappointed.

Without meeting face to face, she could only rely on external information to judge whether it was him.

She couldn't be sure if that person was truly Qi Yuan.

Qi Yi frowned, then suddenly said, "If we want to know if it's him... why not... curse him in the street?"

For a Yang God Heavenly Sovereign, if someone in the same realm discussed or cursed him, the Yang God would sense it.

Hearing this, Yu Mengxian's expression turned strange. "You have a point."

What if it really was Qi Yuan?

And if it wasn't, a curse wouldn't make Qi Yuan lose a piece of flesh.

If that's the case, then isn't it perfect?

So sometimes it's better to find the Sun God and curse him out.

"Let me do it." Qi Yi's initiative was maxed out; in her mind, she conjured Qi Yuan's image, her rosy lips slightly parted, her pretty face blushing: "Qi Yuan, you heartless bastard, irresponsible scumbag, toying with my feelings, sleeping with me and then running off..."

Qi Yi launched straight into a tirade.

Meanwhile, at the banquet, cups clinked and glasses were raised in toast; in a corner, Horned Sister winked at Blood Robe: "What did you think of that girl just now? Her weapons rival An Xunlu's, her big butt is perky, and her personality is as shy as Zi Yuan Xiaolu's, but I've seen countless women—this kind of woman... is very..."

"Contrast?"

"Yeah, that's the word, oh, your brain's so sharp!"

"Don't flatter me; flattery won't help.

As a woman, you dare to arbitrarily define women, casually judge others—you're just a biological woman!" Qi Yuan was brewing, ready to unleash a big move to expel Horned Sister from womanhood.

"Tsk, I define women, and you define me, right?

Isn't it all about equality? Women can't be defined, but I can be?" Horned Sister said lazily.

She left Qi Yuan speechless again, his face turning red.

"Ah, you live too constrainedly. If she had flirted with me like that, I'd have given her my contact info right away and invited her to see lanterns at night." Zi Yuan Daxue said cheerfully.

"Not that bad," Qi Yuan shook his head. "I'm not that desperate."

"Isn't it all about equality? Just treat her like your wife?" Zi Yuan Daxue said lazily. "Haven't many cultivators seen taking girls from the brothels away, always saying they're friends they just met?"

"..." Qi Yuan decided to ignore Zi Yuan Daxue.

That guy was full of twisted logic. Besides, he was never good with words.

Just then, his expression suddenly shifted.

Zi Yuan Daxue noticed the change in Qi Yuan's face and grew serious, asking softly, "What's wrong?"

"My great enemy has come to the Realm of Ultimate Truth!"

"Great enemy? Who?" Zi Yuan Daxue tensed up.

"Ah, I've come to the Sixth Heaven, and she still follows me." Qi Yuan sighed helplessly. "Isn't it said women are born with the ability to love? I only owe her three hundred thousand, and it's not like I won't pay it back. Yet she chased me to the Sixth Heaven and spread rumors that I'm a scumbard who doesn't take responsibility."

Hearing this, Zi Yuan Daxue's heart eased; she covered her mouth and laughed: "So it's a creditor. You startled me. How much do you owe?"

"Not much, just three hundred thousand, sigh." Qi Yuan continued, "Indeed, if you want a woman to remember you forever, don't be good to her—owe her money."

"Three hundred thousand immortal jade? Tsk, if you owed me that much, I'd sleep on your bed every day!"

Three hundred thousand immortal jade was a huge sum even for Zi Yuan Daxue, one she couldn't produce herself.

"Alright, I need to go find her, or else she'll report me, and if it goes on my credit record, I'll become a deadbeat!

Though I don't need a plane to travel, the title 'deadbeat' sounds awful, not elegant at all, and doesn't suit my identity."

With that, Qi Yuan vanished.

"What a boring day." Zi Yuan Daxue picked up her wine glass and started drinking.

On the other side, Qi Yi stood with hands on her hips, cursing at the sky.

Yu Mengxian looked a bit awkward but didn't stop her.

This approach seemed childish, but maybe it would actually work.

Just then, a helpless voice came from the air.

"Hey, Xiao Mei, I only owe you three hundred thousand, why are you spreading rumors?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Mengxian's expression changed sharply, and Qi Yi's already flushed face grew even redder.

There before them stood Qi Yuan in a black casual outfit, tall and straight.

"Qi... Qi Yuan!" Qi Yi hadn't expected that her furious cursing would actually make Qi Yuan appear.

"Greetings, Senior!" Yu Mengxian, still feeling like she was dreaming, quickly bowed.

"You're cozying up, you're slandering me, damaging my reputation. For the three hundred thousand I owe you, I'll pay back at most two hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety!"

Qi Yuan thought for a moment and decided to deduct ten coins.

After all, he didn't dare cheat too much.

Because there were too many cases of murder over unpaid debts or bride prices.

Qi Yi was still in her tight outfit, draped in a purple robe, her pretty face even redder: "I didn't mean to curse you; I was trying to..."

She quickly explained.

Hearing this, Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "So you're not here for the money?"

After all, he didn't have the funds to pay back now; if Qi Yi demanded repayment, he couldn't afford it, which would be terribly awkward.

"Senior..." Yu Mengxian was about to say something.

Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out.

"I didn't expect your Celestial Venerable to dote on you so much, personally going to my grandfather to mediate.

But right now, he's playing chess with my grandfather, so he won't be here anytime soon."

As the voice fell, a group of seven or eight people appeared.

At the lead was the arrogant Tuoba Lingyu.

She scanned Qi Yi as if appraising goods.

But soon, her gaze shifted from Qi Yi to Qi Yuan.

"Your bloodline..." Her eyes widened, filled with ecstasy, and she took a deep breath. "So fragrant!"

She looked mesmerized, as if she had discovered a peerless gem.

Qi Yuan's eyes widened: "Are you sexually harassing me?"

Qi Yuan felt he still preferred gentle, refined women.

Horned Sister and this vulgar woman before him—he wanted to keep his distance from both.

"I thought the Wind Spirit Holy Land had one treasure, but it turns out there are two!" Tuoba Lingyu stared at Qi Yuan as if gazing at a flawless jade.

Her words left Qi Yuan feeling awkward.

Meeting for the first time, and she calls him a treasure—was she going to ask to see his legs next?

Seeing this, Yu Mengxian quickly sent a telepathic message to Qi Yuan: "Senior, this is from the Mixed Blood Sect..."

She told Qi Yuan about what had happened today.

Qi Yuan listened, his expression calm.

Not only was she a vulgar woman, but she was also involved in human trafficking.

He found Tuoba Lingyu even more distasteful.

"This is my sister Xiao Mei. Do me a favor and let this matter drop." For now, Qi Yuan was still preparing to comprehend the ultimate truth; he needed to keep a low profile to avoid being discovered by the Taihuang Palace.

So, before comprehending the supreme truth, he had to stay low-key.

"Give you face... Ha..." Tuoba Lingyu's mocking smile grew wider. "A mere second-tier Yin God—what face do you have?"

"You..." Qi Yuan was tempted to reveal his true identity.

But on second thought, he was from the lower realm, and a Purple Mansion cultivator at that—better not to expose it.

Tuoba Lingyu glanced at Yu Mengxian. "I'm taking these two. Don't meddle, or else... your Wind Spirit Sacred Land won't have an easy time."

The several Mythical experts behind Tuoba Lingyu stared at Qi Yuan and his companions with hostile expressions.

"Hey, one Immortal Jade can't buy me. Besides, you called me a treasure—you should know that a treasure is priceless." Qi Yuan thought it best to keep a low profile, to communicate with words and avoid a fight if possible.

He also needed to practice his verbal skills; he couldn't keep losing arguments to Bullhorn Sister every time.

"One Immortal Jade... is an insult to you. Don't you understand? Or are you... an idiot?" Tuoba Lingyu looked at Qi Yuan as if he were a fool.

In her eyes, speaking to Qi Yuan was already giving him face.

After all, the purpose of someone like him was to be a blood-draining beast.

"You..." Qi Yuan was frantic.

How could there be such a venomous person in this world!

How could there be such a venomous mouth in this world!

He wasn't breaking down, nor was he a dog yelping when hit by a stone.

"Wearing something so revealing—fine, but showing three tits? What's the meaning?

Times have decayed, offending this old man's eyes—die!"

Just then, suddenly, a sound rang out from the void.

A Yang God Heavenly Venerable appeared. He swept a disdainful glance at Tuoba Lingyu and slapped her to death with one blow.

The several Mythical experts beside Tuoba Lingyu had no time to react and died under that same slap.

This incident happened too abruptly.

They had been arguing, and then out of nowhere a Yang God appeared and killed Tuoba Lingyu.

The might of a Yang God was beyond doubt.

Mythical experts were like ants.

Killing a few ants took almost no effort.

The Yang God Heavenly Venerable's eyes shifted, scanning Qi Yuan, and he said with feigned nonchalance, "This old man was passing by by chance. I'm not helping you."

At that moment, a furious roar suddenly came from the sky.

"Bold! Who killed my granddaughter!"

From the Realm of Ultimate Truth, a terrifying figure emerged, divine might like wrath, blood scent filling the heavens.

The entire world was steeped in a thick, bloody aura.

That terrifying figure's gaze fell upon the spot where Qi Yuan and the others stood.

The newcomer was none other than the ancestor of the Mixed Blood Sect, the Divine Blood Heavenly Venerable!

Seeing him, Qi Yuan's expression tensed, and he quickly said, "I didn't kill her—it has nothing to do with me. That Yang God Heavenly Venerable did it. I don't know him, and I don't know he's called Demon Eye!"
