35 Chapter 35: Your Younger Brother is My Younger Brother_1
Three days later.
The three of them arrived in a mountain range with dense spiritual qi.
The Tianheng Secret Realm was vast, and as the competition progressed, the experts of the sect went deeper to hunt demonic beasts.
Qin Changqing was well aware of his limitations and stayed in the middle layer, fighting wild beasts and chatting about life with passing junior sisters.
Since there were three of them, other disciples would not attack them easily when they saw them.
It should have been prohibited to advance in groups like this, but since the three of them were not strong enough to affect the competition's outcome, and they didn't deliberately join together to attack others, no one cared.
"There are less than 400 people left, and the gap in points is gradually widening."
Qin Changqing checked his life talisman and received the information inside.
There were 392 people remaining in the secret realm.
The rankings were as follows:
First place: Li Qingsu, Taixuan Peak disciple, with a score of 48,200.
Second place: Zhao Kai, Taixuan Peak disciple, with a score of 39,400.
Third place: Deng Taishan, Qingxuan Peak disciple, with a score of 38,100.
Hundredth place: Mu Qingtao, Jiuxiao Peak disciple, with a score of 24,600.
There can be a significant gap in combat power between cultivators of the same cultivation level.
Li Qingsu, who ranked first, was said to be a super genius from Taixuan Peak. He was taken in as Liu Mengxian's personal disciple, and his strength was formidable.
The gap between the rest of the disciples below him was not that big.
These disciples were cautious of each other, and most likely would not engage in PvP easily until the final days of the competition.
Qin Changqing found that the highest ranking disciple from Xuanyi Peak was Qin Lingshuang, who was ranked 48th with her Tier 7 Foundation Establishment cultivation.
The highest cultivation level, Bai Yunshan, was ranked 72nd.
All others were ranked outside the top 100.
How miserable!
Qin Changqing's score was only 14,000, far behind the top 100.
However, it didn't matter; he had already gained a lot from this trip, not only broadening his horizons but also acquiring a Taoist couple with an older-sister-like demeanor.
"Brother Qin, quick, look over there. It seems like something is going on."
Zhao Xiaoxiao suddenly said.
Looking into the distance, Qin Changqing saw several mountain peaks surrounded by an area where the spiritual qi was surging. It seemed as if some rare objects were being born in this naturally formed secret realm.
Here, the spiritual qi was dense, and there were countless spiritual herbs.
With such a situation, it likely meant that treasures were emerging.
"Let's go and have a look!" Zhao Xiaoxiao said impatiently.
"Wait, don't rush."
Qin Changqing stopped her from hastily going over.
"What's wrong?" Murong Xue asked, puzzled.
"Look over there; we're not the only ones who've noticed the treasure."
Murong Xue and the others looked in the direction pointed out by Qin Changqing, only to see that there were people standing on the nearby mountain peaks, and even some streaks of light darting towards them from the sky.
After reaching the Heaven Path Foundation Establishment, Qin Changqing's sensitivity to auras considerably increased, so he was able to detect these people in advance.
"Quite a lot of people here."
Looking closely, there were no fewer than ten people nearby.
If a fight broke out, the three of them would not stand a chance.
At this moment, a voice came from a distance.
"Sister!"
A streak of light flashed by and transformed into a young man in a blue robe.
He stood tall on his flying sword, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. He seemed quite handsome.
"Aotian?" Murong Xue looked back, surprised, "What are you doing here?"
"Murong Aotian?"
Brot her-in-law?Qin Changqing also looked at the person and smiled, "Hello, junior brother."
Unexpectedly, Murong Aotian glared at him with hostility and asked in a deep voice, "Sister, who is he?"
Qin Changqing was a bit puzzled.
He found that Murong Aotian seemed to have a lot of prejudice against him.
This was very strange.
After all, his relationship with Murong Xue as a Taoist couple hadn't been made public yet. Even if Murong Aotian didn't want her to be his Taoist partner, where did this groundless hostility come from before figuring out the situation?
Moreover, Qin Changqing somehow felt that Murong Aotian's hostility also contained anger and caution, as if he had robbed him of a million.
"Aotian." At this time, Murong Xue said, "This is Brother Qin."
Murong Aotian frowned, "Qin Changqing of Xuanyi Peak, the famous pervert?"
Pfft-
Zhao Xiaoxiao couldn't help it.
"Brother Qin, you've become famous."
Qin Changqing's mouth twitched slightly, "Brother Aotian, although I'm very close with your sister, if you say that, I might sue you for slander."
"Who is your brother!" Murong Aotian was like a cat with exploded fur, "Don't think I don't know, the things you did in Tianheng Secret Realm have been spread. As a disciple of Lingxiao Sect, you let lust fill your heart and harbored evil intentions towards your fellow female disciples. It's simply disgusting!"
"Also, stay away from my sister!"
"That's going too far." Qin Changqing curled his lips,
I behave honestly and uprightly. Where does the idea of lust filling my heart come from? You cultivate your path, and I have my own. What's wrong with cultivators getting married and having children?monopoly n0veIfulIbo0k If you dare, don't find a Taoist partner for your whole life! After all, the great way is simple. Life is full of flavors, and having offspring is the most basic thing in life. I'm just following my nature, what's wrong with that?"
"Even if the Sect Leader comes, I still have my own path, and no one has the right to interfere."
"Nonsense!" Murong Aotian drew his sword and coldly said,
"I don't care what you want to do, just stay away from her!" "Aotian!" Murong Xue frowned, "Stop making a fuss."
"I'm not making a fuss. I know you don't want to marry into the Gongsun family, sister. Don't worry, after I win a place in this competition, I'll go back and persuade grandfather to cancel the marriage!"
Murong Aotian gripped his sword tightly, his voice firm and powerful, "Sister, be reassured, I won't let you suffer any grievances!"
Qin Changqing tactfully leaned back.
Hey, hey, hey, what's the situation? Brother, your thoughts are a bit dangerous.
The more he looked, the more he felt that Murong Aotian's feelings towards Murong Xue were a little strange.n--0velb1n
Are these the words that a normal brother would say?
With this attitude, you're destined to be taken away.
"Brother Qin, don't be offended. My brother is just like that."
Murong Xueman said apologetically.
"Young people are fiery, it's normal." Qin Changqing smiled and held her hand, "But since you and I have agreed to become a Taoist couple, then your brother naturally becomes mine as well."
Murong Xue didn't expect Qin Changqing to suddenly hold her hand.
Her instinct was to pull back, but she saw Qin Changqing's eyes were open and gentle, obviously not trying to take advantage of her, but just comforting her.
With such a good Brother Qin, what else was there to hesitate?
Since they were a Taoist couple, this was also reasonable.
"Thank you, Brother Qin, for understanding" Murong Xue whispered softly.
"No need to be polite."
The gentleness between the two of them in their conversation made Murong Aotian's eyes flame up in anger from afar.
"You're courting death!!!"
He waved his sword, and a flame rose from the sword to the sky.
"Be careful, Brother Qin. Murong Aotian is a genius of Qingxuan Peak, and his cultivation has already reached Tier 8 Foundation Establishment." Zhao Xiaoxiao hurriedly said.
Qingxuan Peak's Purple Flame Sword Skill was incredibly difficult to cultivate, but its power was astonishing.
Qin Changqing recognized this sword skill and immediately stopped joking around.
Murong Aotian's cultivation had reached Tier 8 Foundation
Establishment, and he had at least a minor achievement in his comprehension of the Purple Flame Sword. With such talent, he could indeed be considered a "genius."
With only a Tier 1 Foundation Establishment, Qin Changqing relied on his pure spiritual Qi, wide meridians, and the power of his Great River Sword to unleash an explosive force equivalent to Tier 6 Foundation Establishment in a short time.
But facing Murong Aotian, he had no chance of winning at all.
