I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Boom."

Inside the boudoir, on the bed.

Just as Su Jin gave up on her third attempt and was about to retrieve the Candle Dragon Scale that was floating in the air, the wooden door was suddenly kicked open. In shock, her thoughts collapsed, and the Candle Dragon Scale fell from the sky.

"Snapped."

Ouyang Shaogong raised his hand and absorbed the scales of the Candle Dragon into his palm, his gaze fixed coldly on Su Jin's eyes: "I need an explanation."

"I found this," Su Jin said guiltily.

"Even if you found it, you know it's my magic weapon, right? Why don't you return it to me?" Ouyang Shaogong questioned.

Su Jin said, "I never intended not to return it to you, it's just that I really need it right now, so..."

Ouyang Shaogong silently gripped the Candle Dragon Scale, his eyes cold: "From now on, our relationship is severed, and I never want to see you again."

“I really have my reasons…” Su Jin said as she stood up.

Ouyang Shaogong shook his head: "If you really have a reason, just tell me. How could I not lend it to you?"

Su Jin paused slightly, then said, "I didn't think of that; you could say I was momentarily confused."

"No need to say more." Ouyang Shaogong snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Su Jin instinctively wanted to chase after her, but then she remembered that she had impersonated Xun Fang, so she stopped in her tracks.

Since she couldn't win Ouyang Shaogong's favor by using Su Jin's identity, she didn't mind living her whole life with someone else's face!

"let's go."

After hurrying back to the private room, Ouyang Shaogong forced a smile onto his face.

Qin Yao waved his hand and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? It's as if you're afraid of her."

Ouyang Shaogong thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, so he sat back down in his seat: "Thanks to your magic to spy on me, otherwise I would never have known that Su Jin was the one who stole my Candle Dragon Scale."

"Speaking of the scales of the Candle Dragon..."

Qin Yao stared intently at the scale in his hand and slowly said, "Su Jin couldn't use it to divine the whereabouts of the Jade Fragment, so what about you?"

Ouyang Shaogong hesitated, "I also expended a great deal of energy to seal the spirit of the Burning Sword, and I'm afraid I won't be able to activate this divine artifact in a short time."

Qin Yao licked his lips, then suddenly stretched out his palm: "Why don't you let me try?"

Ouyang Shaogong: "..."

“If Su Jin can use her magic to control the scales of the Candle Dragon, there’s no reason why I can’t, right?” Qin Yao spoke again.

"of course."

Despite his reluctance, Ouyang Shaogong raised his hand and handed the Candle Dragon Scale to Qin Yao.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom."

Just then, a series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.

"Who?" Ouyang Shaogong withdrew his hand and asked sharply.

"Elder Ouyang, it's me, Yuan Wu," the visitor replied.

Ouyang Shaogong's expression changed slightly, and he said, "They are from Qingyutan."

Qin Yao frowned slightly, feeling greatly displeased with the ignorant Yuan Wu: "I'll handle it."

Ouyang Shaogong suddenly grabbed his arm and said, "Qingyu Altar cultivators never act alone. Yuan Wu is here, so there must be many Qingyu disciples lying in ambush inside Huamanlou..."

Qin Yao smiled and asked, "Are there more people than when they went to the back mountain of Tianyong City to seize the Burning Spirit Sword?"

Ouyang Shaogong: "..."

After understanding the deeper meaning, he had no choice but to silently loosen his grip and place his hopes on Lei Yan.

If Lei Yan were to come as well, perhaps he could put up a fight against Baili Tusu.

Lei Yan is not here; who would dare to easily offend this Demon-Slaying True Lord?

"Click".

As his thoughts drifted, Qin Yao had already arrived at the door, opened it, and asked the blue-robed cultivator in front of him, "What is it?"

Yuan Wu peeked into the private room and said with a smile, "Our altar master has ordered me to invite Elder Ouyang to return to the main altar immediately."

“Go back and tell your sect leader that he’s busy right now.” Qin Yao reached out and pressed his hand against his face, pushing him back three steps.

Yuan Wu was furious and drew his sword, shouting, "Who are you, daring to be so arrogant?"

Qin Yao calmly said, "Tianyong City, Baili Tusu."

Yuan Wu was stunned for a moment, his body trembling slightly: "True Lord of Subduing Demons?"

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Probably."

A chill ran through Yuan Wu's heart, and he silently sheathed his sword: "True Lord, actually I came to take Elder Ouyang back to the main altar to see Xunfang; oh right, that old woman named Jitong is also at the main altar right now."

Ouyang Shaogong's expression changed drastically: "What exactly does Lei Yan want to do?"

"I am just a disciple, how could I possibly know the profound meaning of the altar master?"

"So please come back with me as soon as possible, Elder. Perhaps it will be a good thing?" Yuan Wu said.

Qin Yao suddenly said, "Is your altar master named Lei Yan? Go and tell him to immediately send Ji Tong and Xun Fang back to Qin Chuan City, otherwise I will personally go to Qingyu Altar and take his life."

Yuan Wu: "..."

Isn't this person an elder of Tianyong City?

This style of doing things is even more demonic than the Demonic Sect.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!" Qin Yao suddenly shouted while he was still in a daze.

Yuan Wu came to his senses, dared not refute, and quickly turned and left.

Seeing this, Ouyang Shaogong couldn't help but sigh, "A person's reputation is truly reflected in their actions. After three years of subduing demons, no one in the world can take your words lightly anymore."

Qin Yao laughed and said, "Even if Lei Yan compromises, he can't return Aunt Tong and Xun Fang as quickly as we can; so there's no need for us to rush back."

Ouyang Shaogong understood his meaning and had no choice but to offer the Candle Dragon Scale again: "Then give it a try. If it doesn't work out, don't force it."

Qin Yao accepted the Candle Dragon Scale with both hands and silently infused it with his magic power. Just as he was about to ask about the whereabouts of the Jade Balance Fragment, a sudden change occurred. The scale seemed to transform into a black hole in an instant and began to actively absorb the divine power within his body.

"not good."

Ouyang Shaogong keenly noticed this phenomenon and almost without thinking, he shouted, "Tu Su, quickly stop the transfer of magic power!"

"Don't rush." ​​Qin Yao's expression remained calm. Instead of stopping the energy transmission as the other party had instructed, he silently increased the surge of divine power, causing the scales of the Candle Dragon to suddenly emit a beam of light that enveloped his figure.

In an instant, Qin Yao found his soul, or rather his will, in a state of chaos.

There was no sky, no earth, no things, not even time. Only a colossal creature stood in the hazy space. As he drew closer, he realized it was a gigantic dragon. As he approached, the dragon seemed to sense his presence, suddenly opened its eyes, time began to flow, the flames of creation ignited, and the chaotic light was stirred.

The chaotic light, a mixture of clear and turbid, the five elements and yin and yang energies, surged and spread throughout the entire space.

"Shh."

Suddenly, Qin Yao felt two divine lights shine behind him. When he turned around, he saw that a giant had appeared in the place that was originally empty.

The giant's gaze was piercing, silently watching his figure along with the dragon's, causing the dragon's hair to stand on end, his scalp to tingle, and him to not even dare to utter a sound.

"interesting."

In the giant's eyes, countless images flickered on this consciousness that appeared out of nowhere. It was a rich and colorful world where heaven and earth were divided, all things were born, stars bloomed and returned to the sky, the sun rose and the moon set, and tides rose and fell, filling him with endless longing.

After all, this chaotic world is just too boring.

Thinking of this, the giant raised his hand and pointed, and the chaotic energy flowed and poured into the consciousness in front of him.

Qin Yao instantly sensed an extremely powerful and domineering force flowing into his body through his consciousness. The unimaginable impact caused his vision to go black again and again, and the surrounding scenery shattered.

Inside the private room, looking at the gray light constantly emanating from Baili Tusu's body, as well as the faintly terrifying aura, Ouyang Shaogong suddenly realized that the other party had obviously obtained a great fortune, and subconsciously wanted to retract the Candle Dragon Scale.

However, at this moment, Chang'e became Qin Yao's guardian deity. Seeing that Ouyang Shaogong was making any unusual moves, she suddenly raised her hand, grabbed his arm tightly, and solemnly said, "Don't worry, Tu Su knows what he's doing."

Ouyang Shaogong: "..."

at the same time.

Within the Qin Yao Divine Kingdom, the Creation Jade Disc, which had merged the three books, appeared and continuously devoured the chaotic energy, eventually giving rise to new Great Dao Laws.

One, two, three...

A total of seventy-two laws appeared out of thin air, complementing the original one hundred and eight Great Dao Laws.

Inside the private room, Ouyang Shaogong frowned, watching as Baili Tusu's magic power, realm, and aura grew stronger and stronger, his divine power surging and terrifying. A pang of sadness suddenly rose in his heart.

He had possessed the scales of the Candle Dragon for a long time, yet he was unaware that such a great opportunity was hidden within them.

Is it because I'm not good enough?
Or is Baili Tusu more destined?

"boom!"

After an unknown amount of time, the chaotic energy within Qin Yao's body was completely devoured by the Creation Jade Disc. The hazy divine power disappeared, replaced by a surging divine light that shone like the sun in the private room, making it impossible for anyone to open their eyes.

Just as Ouyang Shaogong and Chang'e both chose to cover their eyes, Qin Yao opened his eyes instead, actively concealed his divine radiance, and looked inward into his divine kingdom. He discovered that the Jade Disc of Creation had completed his Golden Immortal Path, which also meant that it had pushed his Golden Immortal Realm to perfection.

Within the primordial universes like the Lotus Lantern, this realm is also known as the Quasi-Saint Realm!
Of course, in Uncle Nine's world, there is no concept of Quasi-Saint Realm, only Golden Immortal at the Great Perfection.

After reaching the Great Perfection of the Golden Immortal Realm, one can then attempt to break through to the Saint Realm. The aid for this is the Primordial Purple Qi.

Without this, no matter how brilliant one's talent, one will be locked into this realm, which is equivalent to reaching the end...

"Are you alright?" Ouyang Shaogong asked softly as he pondered.

"I'm fine, I've never felt better," Qin Yao said with a smile.

Ouyang Shaogong: "..."

After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask, "What good fortune have you received?"

Qin Yao pursed his lips and smiled, "I saw Zhulong and Pangu."

Ouyang Shaogong: "???"

"Then, Pangu gave me a wisp of primordial energy, which helped me break through a realm that hadn't changed for a very long time," Qin Yao continued.

Ouyang Shaogong's lips twitched.

He shouldn't have asked.

Asking only made me feel worse.

Qin Yao didn't say anything more. He raised his hand and activated the scales of the Candle Dragon, asking softly, "May I ask, where are the other two fragments of the Jade Horizontal Sword?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a scene of a village appeared on the scales, and the three large characters "Ganquan Village" even floated above the village entrance.

After the entire village's scenery has been shown, the scene suddenly changes, and we arrive at a mountain villa. The villa is dilapidated, with four large characters hanging above it—"Zixian Mountain Villa."

“Ganquan Village, Zixian Manor,” Ouyang Shaogong murmured.

Qin Yao raised his hand and put away the Candle Dragon Scale, then suddenly asked, "Shao Gong, I'll help you obtain the complete Jade Pendant. How about you give me this Candle Dragon Scale?"

Ouyang Shaogong paused slightly, then politely declined, saying, "The scales of the Candle Dragon hold extraordinary significance for me."

Qin Yao raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Alright, then after the Jade Horizontal Armor is synthesized, it will belong to me."

Ouyang Shaogong: "..."

How can this be allowed?
However, if he were to say that he wanted them all, it would be far too shameless.

After all, it was the other party who found out the whereabouts of the other two jade fragments; and to obtain these two fragments and to combine the jade pieces, we also need the other party's help...

Qin Yao knew he was in a difficult position and clearly saw through his predicament; however, he would not give up his own interests just because he was soft-hearted.

After all, from his perspective, I was the one who helped you retrieve the Candle Dragon Scale, and I also had to put in the effort to collect all the Jade Fragments.

I can't possibly give you both of these treasures after all the trouble I've gone through, can I?
Ouyang Shaogong let out a soft breath, as if he had made a great decision: "Alright, the Jade Pendant will be yours then, but you have to lend it to me when I need it."

Qin Yao smiled and said, "No problem..."

After reaching an agreement on the ownership of the benefits, the two sides did not immediately set off for the mountain village or villa, but instead returned to Qinchuan City according to the plan and went directly to Ouyang's residence.

Looking around, one could see Xunfang feeding Aunt Tong medicine under the stone pavilion in the courtyard; the scene was quite harmonious.

But Qin Yao knew perfectly well that what the fake Xunfang fed to Aunt Tong was not medicine, but poison!
Even though Ouyang Shaogong knew that the fake Xunfang was Su Jin through various clues, such as her living habits and special aura, he never imagined that Su Jin would actually poison Aunt Tong...

"What kind of medicine is this?" Ouyang Shaogong suddenly asked.

Jia Xunfang immediately turned around, her face beaming with smiles: "You're back... It's medicine for treating a cold. After all that fuss by the people from Qingyutan, Aunt Tong got sick."

Ouyang Shaogong nodded and said with a smile, "Since Aunt Tong is not feeling well, then you can prepare the banquet. This trip to Jiangdu was very successful, so we should celebrate."

“Okay.” Jia Xunfang nodded repeatedly, holding the bowl, and said, “You all rest first, I’ll take Aunt Tong back to her room.”

Watching them leave, Qin Yao slowly narrowed his eyes, and a thought suddenly welled up in his mind.

The time may have come to expose the fake Xunfang; at the very least, this could earn the gratitude of the real Xunfang.

That night.

Inside the main hall, Qin Yao and others were drinking and celebrating.

In the backyard, Aunt Tong, who had been forced to catch a cold, lay on the bed, her face full of sorrow.

Suddenly, a phantom passed through the door and materialized into a human form beside Aunt Tong.

Aunt Tong was startled and turned around abruptly. After seeing the person's face clearly, her shock gradually turned into astonishment: "Tu...Tu Su?" (End of this chapter)
