Chapter 383: Chapter 356: Attacking Qianqing Sect

"Senior Brother Lin Cann, do you think Nie Yun will figure out he was tricked by the Sect Leader and come back?"

On the path to the Qianqing Sect’s Noon Hall, Xu’an asked his senior brother, who was walking ahead.

"Figure out he was tricked? Heh, he’s a complete moron. If we weren’t going to trick him, who would we? Besides, what could he do even if he found out? Our Sect Leader is a supreme powerhouse at the Secret Realm Second Layer, and his Spirit has reached the Early-Stage Spirit Level. With his paltry skills, coming here would be suicide!"

A sneer played on Lin Cann’s lips.

"You’re right. He’s definitely no match for the Sect Leader. Spirit Level Soul Power is just too formidable. Every time I see Master, I feel so suffocated I can’t even breathe. It’s terrifying!"

Remembering how terrifying the Sect Leader was, Xu’an nodded and began to laugh as well.

"Of course. If our Sect Leader claimed to be second on the Qi Sea Continent, no one would dare claim first. You should count yourself lucky to be a member of the Qianqing Sect. Sooner or later, you’ll break through to become an Ultimate Venerable and reach the Secret Realm!" Lin Cann lifted his chin, his pride on full display.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother Lin Cann, something’s wrong!" Just then, a disciple from the entrance ran in, shouting frantically.

"Insolence! Don’t you know it’s the midday break? Everyone is resting! Shouting like this with no sense of decorum... It looks like you don’t need to stay in the Sect any longer. Get the hell out!"

Lin Cann’s brow furrowed, and he furiously slapped the disciple across the face.

SLAP!

The disciple stumbled and fell to the ground, his face a mask of grievance.

"Senior Brother, it’s not like that! Nie Yun is back! He said he’s looking for the Sect Leader..."

"Looking for the Sect Leader? Just tell him he isn’t here..." Lin Cann snorted, but before he could finish speaking, a soft, lingering voice reached his ears. "The Sect Leader isn’t here? When did you become the Qianqing Sect Master?"

"Ah! Nie Yun? Ah, it’s Brother Yun!" Hearing the voice, Lin Cann jumped in fright. He spun around and, sure enough, saw the young man walking toward him step by step, his gaze fixed on him, his face holding a hint of coldness.

"My apologies, but our Master is truly not here..."

Seeing the young man’s expression, Lin Cann spoke quickly, but before he could finish, he felt a sudden chill as a hand pierced straight through his chest.

"You... This is the Qianqing Sect... D-daring to kill me... is courting death..."

Feeling the pain rack his body, Lin Cann stared in disbelief.

"Hmph!" Ignoring his shouts, Nie Yun flexed his power. BANG! Lin Cann exploded into a shower of gore and flesh.

"Master, save me! Nie Yun—"

Seeing this, Xu’an was terrified. His previously suave demeanor vanished. With a panicked roar, he shot forward to escape, but before he could take two steps, his head was completely severed from his body.

THUD!

His body hit the ground, completely lifeless.

Now that Nie Yun’s power had soared, he didn’t even need half a move to deal with someone from the Secret Realm Potential List.

"Murder! Help us!"

"We have an intruder!"

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!

At the sight of Xu’an’s death, the witnessing disciples began to scream. Instantly, alarms blared across the entire mountain peak. The Twelve Meridian Array slowly began to rotate, gathering a brilliant glow of Spiritual Qi.

"You dare to kill people in the Qianqing Sect? Nie Yun, you’re courting death!"

A disciple who had flown over in a hurry recognized Nie Yun. He let out a roar, his aura overbearing as he hovered in the air.

"I didn’t come here to kill," Nie Yun said calmly. "I only want an explanation. Your Sect Leader took something of mine and deceived me. If I don’t get a good reason, none of you should expect to leave here alive today."

"Give you a reason? Bullshit! Who the hell do you think you are? Our Sect Leader tricked you, so what? You want a reason for it? I think you’re just courting death..."

The disciple in the air roared, but just like Lin Cann, he couldn’t finish his sentence. He felt a sudden expansion within his body, and with a BANG, he exploded into a heap of flesh and blood that rained down in a gruesome spray.

"Stop!"

Just as that disciple perished, a tremendous roar echoed through the sky, and three figures flew over swiftly from the distance.

’Well, well, if it isn’t the Zi Qiong Emperor and Huangg Chen,’ Nie Yun thought. ’No wonder the Qianqing Sect Master dared to deceive me. So you two were in on it.’

Nie Yun recognized two of the three people who flew over.

The one in the lead was the strongest, his Soul Power verging on the Spirit Level. That had to be the Qianqing Sect Master.

"Nie Yun! The last time you wanted to trade for Water Spirit Aura, I had my people infuse forty-nine streams of it for you. It was an exhaustive effort that even damaged the very Origin of the Water Spirit Pearl! Not only are you ungrateful for that kindness, you’ve come here to slaughter my people at will. Do you really think the Qianqing Sect is some pushover you can crush whenever you feel like it?"

The Qianqing Sect Master sneered at Nie Yun.

"Damaged the Water Spirit Pearl’s Origin? An exhaustive effort? Hah! You actually have the gall to say that!"

Hearing the Qianqing Sect Master’s words, Nie Yun was so furious he began to laugh.

’I’ve met shameless people before, but never anyone *this* shameless!’

"What? You figured it out? Hmph. So what if you did? That’s right, I deceived you, but you were the one willing to fall for it. Honestly, I didn’t want to drop the facade just yet, but since you’re so shameless, you might as well die!"

Hearing the young man’s sarcastic tone, the Qianqing Sect Master knew the jig was up. He dropped his pretense and let out a cold, sinister laugh.

"Nie Yun, if you know what’s good for you, get on your knees and hand over the Zihua Cave Mansion and all the treasures you plundered from us! Do that, and we might let you live. Otherwise, once the Qianqing Sect Master attacks, you’re dead for sure. Not even your master will be able to save you!"

Huangg Chen chimed in, a look of utter glee on his face.

"The Zihua Cave Mansion is not for a nobody like you to possess. Hand it over now, before you regret it!" the Zi Qiong Emperor added with a cold sneer.

"So it seems you have no intention of resolving this peacefully today."

Hearing their rebukes, Nie Yun’s face remained impassive as he gazed at the three of them.

"Correct. Even if you wanted to resolve this peacefully now, it’s far too late! You were practically begging to die by coming here on your own!"

"We were wary that your master might interfere, but it seems he’s not even making a move now. He must have already left the Qi Sea Continent! Hahaha! With your master to protect you, we might have shown some caution. But now that you’re all alone, you little brat, do you really think we’re afraid of you?"

Huangg Chen and the Zi Qiong Emperor laughed with wild abandon.

"You don’t need to be afraid of me. You just need to die."

With a faint smile, Nie Yun’s body transformed into a streak of light. In an instant, he appeared before Huangg Chen. His powerful Soul Power surged through his arm as he thrust it forward in a grabbing motion.

"A sneak attack? In your dreams! First of the Qi Sea’s Ten Great Ancient Veins, the Desolate Ancient Bloodline! Desolate Ancient Celestial Annihilation!"

Seeing the young man appear before him in an instant, Huangg Chen remained composed. With a long cry, he fiercely thrust out both fists.

The two fists carried the unique power of a Secret Realm Powerhouse, unleashing a roiling Qi Force that could boil rivers and seas as it howled toward Nie Yun.

’This is a do-or-die strike using all of my power,’ he thought. ’It’s the strongest attack of the Desolate Ancient Bloodline—the first of the Qi Sea’s Ten Great Ancient Veins—unleashed to its absolute fullest. As long as it connects, this kid’s head will explode. He’ll be deader than dead!’

But he never saw the young man’s head explode. Instead, he felt his own fist being squeezed tight. When he focused his gaze, he discovered that his most powerful ultimate attack had been caught effortlessly between two fingers.

It was done as casually as if pinching a piece of bread.

"He caught my fist with just two fingers... Impossible... Impossible!"

Feeling the force from those two fingers growing ever stronger, making it impossible to break free, Huangg Chen’s expression became a mask of horror. He couldn’t believe it!

In their grip, Huangg Chen felt like a fish caught on a line. No matter how much he struggled, it was utterly useless.

"Die."

With a cold snort, Nie Yun flicked his fingers.

BANG!

With that single motion, Huangg Chen’s head exploded completely, splattering brain matter across the sky.

"What?"

"He killed Huangg Chen in a single move? Wh-what is going on?"

Both the Qianqing Sect Master and the Zi Qiong Emperor jumped in shock when they saw Huangg Chen’s head explode.

Although Huangg Chen’s strength was only at the Peak of Mid-Stage Secret Realm First Layer, he was the old ancestor of an Empire and possessed countless life-saving abilities. Even the Qianqing Sect Master would have had to expend considerable effort to kill him. How could this young man have ended him in a single blow, without him even having the power to resist?

It was simply too terrifying!

"Mid-Stage Spirit Level? Th-that’s impossible! I don’t believe it!" While the Zi Qiong Emperor was still reeling in confusion, the Qianqing Sect Master had already sensed the fluctuations of Nie Yun’s Soul Power and realized its change. His face turned pale, and he stumbled back several steps.

"What? Mid-Stage Spirit Level?" Hearing the Qianqing Sect Master’s words, the Zi Qiong Emperor jumped in fright. Overwhelming fear filled his eyes, and he turned to flee.

"Zi Qiong Emperor, what do you think you’re doing?! We have to attack together, or we’ll both die here for sure!"

The Qianqing Sect Master never imagined he had provoked such a monster. With a great roar, he blocked the Zi Qiong Emperor’s escape, raised his hands, and attacked instantly.

His attack immediately revealed the gulf in power between him and Huangg Chen. The surrounding air became as viscous as liquid. A gigantic palm print, suffused with Mana and radiating a sacred, heavenly might, pressed down. Anyone of a lower level caught within it would feel a sense of powerlessness welling up from the depths of their being, leaving them completely unable to resist.

The Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm is divided into nine layers. The First Layer is the Magical Power Realm, and the Second Layer is the Primordial Saint Realm. At the Primordial Saint Realm, the Dantian within one’s Qi Sea circulates in such a way that it can absorb Primordial Saint Particles from the air, altering one’s physical structure to form the Primordial Saint Body.

Yuan for the eternal cycle, Sheng for sublime wisdom. The Primordial Saint Body evolves one’s senses—sight, hearing, smell, and taste—allowing one to truly become like a king or a saint. Both cellular vitality and raw power reach an entirely new peak!

The Primordial Saint Body is vastly more powerful than a body at the Magical Power Realm. In a single exchange, the sheer superiority of the physical body alone could render an opponent powerless to resist.

But Nie Yun was different. His Soul Power had already reached the Mid-Stage Spirit Level, placing him on a higher tier than his opponent. Channeling his Soul Power into his arms, he thrust both palms forward and tore the attack apart!

"Primordial Saint Body? Even someone at the Second Layer Primordial Saint Realm is no match for me! Break!"

BOOM!

The viscous air was instantly ripped in two by his immense Soul Power. With a flick of his wrist, the Profound Jade Sword materialized above the Qianqing Sect Master’s head. Nie Yun swung his hand down, and the sword smashed downward with it.

Knowing the Qianqing Sect Master had formed the Primordial Saint Body and possessed astonishing Defense, Nie Yun held nothing back. He unleashed his full power, augmented by 100 layers of Dark Force. The longsword appeared deceptively light, but it carried an immense power that not even a Secret Realm Powerhouse could hope to dodge. (To be continued.
