Chapter 442: Qi Yuan Gets Roasted
Outside the cave, Yu Mengxian stood anxiously, her expression full of worry.
The Mixed-Blood Sect was too domineering, casually offering immortal jade to buy someone.
About half an hour later, a voice came from within the cave.
“How could I use a disciple’s treasure? Take the Heavenly Origin Stone back; I will personally visit the Mixed-Blood Sect,”
The voice of Fengling Celestial Sovereign was filled with both sighs and helplessness.
Even after becoming a Yang God, he couldn’t achieve total freedom or peace.
Of course, compared to other cultivators, Yang Gods still lived in great comfort.
Hearing this, Yu Mengxian was filled with gratitude.
However, Fengling Celestial Sovereign’s next words were like a bucket of cold water poured on her heart.
“The Mixed-Blood Sect has always been arrogant and overbearing, and Tuoba Lingyu is the most beloved granddaughter of the Mixed-Blood Sect’s ancestor. I’m afraid... even I may not be able to stop this.”
As he finished speaking, Fengling Celestial Sovereign’s figure faded and disappeared.
The meaning was clear—he might not be able to stop Tuoba Lingyu, subtly suggesting that Yu Mengxian should take Qi Yi and leave.
On the other side, Qi Yi, hearing this, looked emotional. “Master, this is all my fault.”
If it weren’t for her, her master wouldn’t have to suffer this humiliation.
“This is not your fault. If anyone is to blame, it’s that Tuoba Lingyu!”
Yu Mengxian’s emotions were complicated.
The Celestial Sovereign’s hint was obvious: take Qi Yi and leave.
Even though he was a Celestial Sovereign, in the Supreme Truth Celestial Realm, there were many things beyond his control.
His plan to visit the Mixed-Blood Sect was merely buying time for her to escape with Qi Yi.
But... escape?
Being targeted by the Mixed-Blood Sect, how could they escape?
Every cultivator in the Lower Three Heavens knew about the shamelessness of the Mixed-Blood Sect.
They captured people at will for their bloodlines.
Once targeted, there was almost no escape.
Yu Mengxian even suspected that trying to leave might be exactly what the Mixed-Blood Sect wanted.
It could be a trap.
“Master, the Mixed-Blood Sect is after me. I don’t want to implicate you,” Qi Yi said solemnly after thinking for a moment.
If she continued to seek her master’s protection, it might lead to her master’s death.
At this moment, Qi Yi more clearly understood the harsh realities of the cultivation world.
Back on Gongxing, some noble families still maintained a veneer of honor and moral principles.
But in the cultivation world, such things were meaningless.
Demonic cultivators might as well carve the word “Demon” on their foreheads to announce their nature.
In the Sixth Heaven, Ghost Emperor Heaven casually slaughtered countless souls to refine ghost banners, moving from one realm to another in a spree of killing.
Was there any great power that stopped them?
No.
In the Sixth Heaven, power was everything.
As Yu Mengxian looked at Qi Yi, the image of that certain Celestial Sovereign flashed through her mind.
If only she had the power of that Celestial Sovereign, how could Qi Yi have to suffer like this?
Back in that mysterious land, that Celestial Sovereign had vanished without a trace, and the robot Zero-One had found Yu Mengxian, asking her to deliver something to Qi Yuan.
Afterward, she took Qi Yi and left Gongxing. When she looked back, she found that Gongxing had disappeared.
“If only Gongxing were still around... If we had a way to return there, the Mixed-Blood Sect wouldn’t be able to find us,”
Yu Mengxian sighed wistfully.
Of course, this was nothing but a distant fantasy.
The entrance to the Fire Spirit Realm was too far away from here.
They would likely be intercepted by the Mixed-Blood Sect before they could reach it.
Suddenly, Yu Mengxian thought of something and couldn’t help but ask, “Does your brother... have any connection to Black Abyss?”
She recalled the figure she had seen at Black Abyss.
Qi Yi was puzzled, then shook her head. “No, I don’t think so.”
Her master on Gongxing had been Qi Yuan’s mother.
As for her feelings toward her younger brother, they were complicated.
She had only hoped for him to live an ordinary life and stay away from the turbulence of the world.
Who could have expected that he would suddenly become a Yang God Celestial Sovereign?
“Although... it’s possible that he might,” Qi Yi added thoughtfully.
After all, she didn’t know much about her brother.
Yu Mengxian frowned. “I thought I saw him among the prodigies of Black Abyss attending the Supreme Truth Debate Gathering.”
She was puzzled. If it were really Qi Yuan, why would he be standing among those prodigies?
The prodigies were merely Yin Gods.
“Huh?” Qi Yi was taken aback.
“Unfortunately, we’re of such low status that we can’t even get an audience with the people of Black Abyss,” Yu Mengxian lamented.
Even someone like Tuoba Lingyu from the Mixed-Blood Sect would probably have to wait a long time just to have a message delivered to one of the Black Abyss prodigies.
After all, he didn’t dare underpay too much.
There were far too many cases of people killing over unpaid debts.
Still wearing her tight outfit, Qi Yi’s face turned even redder as she hurried to explain, “I didn’t mean to curse you. I just wanted to...”
“Oh, so you’re not here for money?” Qi Yuan sighed with relief.
After all, he didn’t have the money right now. If Qi Yi had come to collect, it would’ve been embarrassing.
“Senior...” Yu Mengxian started to say something when a mocking voice interrupted.
“Well, well, it seems your Celestial Sovereign cares for you quite a bit, personally visiting my grandfather to negotiate.
But right now, they’re playing chess, so it’ll be a while before he can leave.”
As the voice trailed off, seven or eight figures appeared.
The one leading them was none other than the arrogant Tuoba Lingyu.
She swept her gaze over Qi Yi, inspecting her as if she were a commodity.
But soon, her eyes shifted from Qi Yi to Qi Yuan.
“Your bloodline...” She widened her eyes in delight, inhaling deeply. “What a wonderful scent!”
Her expression was one of pure fascination, as if she had just discovered a priceless gem.
Qi Yuan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Are you sexually harassing me?”
He found that he preferred more gentle and refined women.
Bullhorn Lady and this bizarre woman were people he wanted to stay far away from.
“I thought Fengling Holy Land had one treasure, but it turns out there are two!” Tuoba Lingyu gazed at Qi Yuan with an intense, almost obsessive look.
Qi Yuan felt incredibly awkward.
It was the first time someone had called him a treasure upon their first meeting. What next, was she going to ask to see his legs?
Seeing this, Yu Mengxian quickly sent a message to Qi Yuan, “Senior, this woman is from the Mixed-Blood Sect...”
She explained the situation to Qi Yuan.
After hearing this, Qi Yuan’s expression remained calm.
Not only was this woman strange, but she was also involved in human trafficking.
He found her even more repulsive.
“This is my sister, so I’d appreciate it if you dropped this matter,” Qi Yuan said, trying to remain low-profile as he prepared to comprehend the Supreme Truth. He didn’t want to attract too much attention and risk being discovered by Taihuang Palace.
“Give you face...?” Tuoba Lingyu sneered, her mocking smile widening. “A mere Yin God from the Second Heaven, what kind of face do you think you deserve?”
“You...” Qi Yuan wanted to reveal his true identity.
But on second thought, being from the lower realm and still a Purple Palace cultivator, it might be better to keep quiet.
Tuoba Lingyu glanced at Yu Mengxian. “I’m taking these two with me. If you interfere... Fengling Holy Land won’t have a bright future.”
The Mythic Realm cultivators behind Tuoba Lingyu glared at Qi Yuan and the others with hostility.
“Hey, one immortal jade isn’t enough to buy me. Besides, you called me a treasure, didn’t you? And treasures are priceless,” Qi Yuan said, trying to resolve the situation peacefully.
He needed to improve his rhetoric—he couldn’t keep losing arguments to Bullhorn Lady.
“One piece of immortal jade...? That’s an insult. You don’t get it, do you? Or are you just stupid?” Tuoba Lingyu looked at Qi Yuan as if he were an idiot.
To her, even speaking to Qi Yuan was giving him more attention than he deserved.
After all, people like him were just livestock to be bled dry.
“You...” Qi Yuan was getting frustrated.
How could there be someone so vile in this world?
How could someone have such a venomous tongue?
He wasn’t hurt, but he was deeply irritated!
“Wearing something so revealing... and showing off three breasts, what’s the meaning of this?
Morals are in decline, and you’re offending my eyes. You deserve death!”
Suddenly, a voice rang out as a Yang God appeared, casting a glance at Tuoba Lingyu with disgust.
With a single slap, he crushed Tuoba Lingyu to death.
The Mythic Realm cultivators around her didn’t even have time to react before they, too, were killed by the slap.
It all happened so quickly.
They had been arguing, and suddenly, a Yang God appeared and killed Tuoba Lingyu.
The power of a Yang God was undeniable.
Mythic Realm cultivators were like ants to them.
Killing them took no effort at all.
The Yang God glanced at Qi Yuan, then said with a feigned indifference, “I just happened to be passing by. I’m not helping you.”
At that moment, a furious roar echoed from the sky.
“How dare you kill my granddaughter?!”
A terrifying figure appeared in the Supreme Truth Celestial Realm, radiating bloodthirsty energy that filled the sky.
The entire world seemed to be soaked in blood.
That terrifying figure’s gaze locked onto Qi Yuan and the others.
It was none other than the Mixed-Blood Sect’s ancestor, Shenxue Celestial Sovereign!
Upon seeing him, Qi Yuan’s face turned tense, and he quickly said, “It wasn’t me! I had nothing to do with it. It was that Yang God over there! I don’t even know him, and I definitely don’t know he’s called Devil Eye!”
