I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Thank you, Immortal."

In the blink of an eye, inside the cave, Luo Yunping led the elderly couple to kneel and kowtow, their faces full of gratitude.

Qin Yao waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "During their transformation into demons, they used the fragments of the Jade Horizontal Sword as a medium to devour a large amount of energy from Ganquan Village, causing Ganquan Village to become desolate."

This karmic debt must be repaid; otherwise, they will likely have no chance of being reborn as humans after their death.

Luo Yunping nodded and said, "I understand. I will find a suitable place for all the villagers of Ganquan Village to live, and then lead the whole village to relocate together."

And from now on, I will do my best, together with my parents, to protect the villagers.

"Good," Qin Yao said approvingly.

"Let's continue on our way," Ouyang Shaogong said softly.

Qin Yao waved to the family of three, then led them out of the cave, guided by the elf, the mountain god, and the earth god, and hurried towards Zixian Manor...

The next morning.

The sun is rising.

The four slowly approached a dilapidated gate, where they saw a middle-aged man dressed in black soft armor, with a jade belt tied around his head, a sparse beard, and holding a blue longsword, leading more than ten blue-robed cultivators, sitting quietly outside the stone gate.

“Master Lei.” Ouyang Shaogong’s expression changed slightly as he called out in a deep voice.

Lei Yan slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over the four people in front of him: "Shao Gong, it's been a long time."

Ouyang Shaogong pursed his lips and asked, "Why is Master Lei here?"

Lei Yan said, "Because I received information that there is a fragment of a jade pendant here."

Ouyang Shaogong: "..."

During his silence, Lei Yan turned to Qin Yao and asked with a smile, "You must be Baili Tusu, the Demon-Slaying True Monarch of Tianyong City?"

"Yes," Qin Yao said. "What instructions does Master Lei have?"

"I wouldn't dare," Lei Yan waved his hand and said, "I've only long admired your name, but I didn't expect you to be so young, True Lord."

Qin Yao raised an eyebrow, uninterested in wasting words with him, and bluntly said, "Get out of the way."

Lei Yan paused slightly and said, "We discovered this place first."

Qin Yao chuckled: "So what? You arrived here first, so everything here belongs to you?"

Lei Yan said earnestly, "I want to cooperate with you..."

Qin Yao flicked his finger, and a wave of energy suddenly shot out from his fingertip, heading straight for Lei Yan's body.

Lei Yan instinctively drew his sword and slashed down. He did manage to strike, but his body was thrown into the air and flew rapidly over the manor, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Ouyang Shaogong: "..."

After breaking through his cultivation level, Baili Tusu was indeed stronger than before.

That was the leader of the Azure Jade Altar, a sect leader of a celestial sect, yet he didn't even have the ability to fight back!
Just as he was feeling sentimental, and the disciples of Qingyutan were dumbfounded, Qin Yao waved his sleeve, creating a gust of wind that sent those blocking his way flying like dust, hurling them into the distance.

Before his breakthrough, he was somewhat wary of Ouyang Shaogong, after all, the other party was half of Prince Changqin's soul, and Prince Changqin was a powerful figure in ancient times, otherwise he would not have been sent to suppress Qianyu.

In addition, he has lived for so many years, he must have some treasures on him, and it is easy to fall into his trap if you are not careful.

But now, let alone half a soul, even if Prince Changqin appeared in his complete form, he would still have the strength to fight, so he is much less restrained in his actions...

Not long after.

The four of them stepped into the manor and came to an ancient forest, where they saw countless plumes of black smoke floating in the air, creating an eerie and dreamlike atmosphere.

Qin Yao flipped his hand and summoned a ball of faith power, which he threw three feet above his head, releasing a soft white light that enveloped the other three people.

In an instant, the ghostly aura and illusions were isolated outside the white light. If any black smoke collided with the white light, it would be purified of its resentment and thus return to the original form of the soul.

Xunfang stared at this scene in astonishment, thinking to herself: This Demon-Slaying True Lord's strength is probably no less than that of his master, the number one swordsman in the world!
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the main hall of the villa. Qin Yao looked around and suddenly glanced at a corner of the hall: "Come out."

"Who are you?" A ghostly figure materialized and stared at Qin Yao.

"We're here to retrieve the fragments of the Jade Pendant," Qin Yao replied.

The female ghost paused slightly: "Help me kill Jin Lei, and I will give you the Jade Fragment."

"Jin Lei is dead," Qin Yao said decisively.

“Impossible,” the female ghost said. “You’re lying to me. You probably don’t even know who Jin Lei is.”

Qin Yao shook his head: "Jin Lei is the adopted son of the He family and He Lin's disciple, while you are Ye Chenxiang, the eldest daughter of Zixian Manor. Your father wiped out the entire He family, and he wiped out your entire Ye family."

The female ghost was astonished: "How do you know about these past events?"

Qin Yao explained, "Because I encountered Jin Lei's reincarnation."

Ye Chenxiang: "..."

"Is he really dead?" she asked incredulously after a long pause.

"No doubt about it, you can change your request. If it's within my power, I certainly won't refuse," Qin Yao said.

Ultimately, he still has some bottom lines.

If he truly had no bottom line, there would be no need to trade with Ye Chenxiang at all. Under the Heavenly Eye, the fragments of the Jade Horizontal Sword would have nowhere to hide, and with Ye Chenxiang's strength, he wouldn't be able to protect this treasure.

Ye Chenxiang remained silent for a long time before letting out a long breath: "I want to see Jin Lei's reincarnation."

"Once you see it, give me the jade fragments," Qin Yao said.

“Okay!” Ye Chenxiang readily agreed.

"Please wait here for a moment, I will go and bring Lansheng here," Qin Yao said, turning to the three people beside him.

Ouyang Shaogong exclaimed in astonishment, "Lansheng is the reincarnation of Jin Lei?"

Qin Yao nodded: "Wait for me."

Watching him stride away, Ouyang Shaogong felt a mix of emotions, but he couldn't tell anyone else.

Inside Qinchuan Castle.

Inside the pharmacy.

Fang Lansheng listlessly fiddled with the abacus, feeling utterly bored with life.

In a world with immortals, gods, demons, and monsters, living a life of luxury as a rich young master in a small town is really not very interesting.

He longed to soar through the skies on a sword, slaying demons and monsters; but alas, even when he encountered a destiny of immortality, he couldn't grasp it...

"Dong dong dong."

Suddenly, he saw a hand tapping on his desk. He looked up and saw the mighty Demon-Slaying True Lord.

"Great Hero Tusu!"

Fang Lansheng almost jumped up, shouting excitedly.

Qin Yao smiled and nodded: "Come with me to see someone, and I'll give you a Foundation Establishment cultivation technique. Is that alright?"

"Great, that's perfect!"

Fang Lansheng strode up to him and urged, "Let's go, let's go now."

He didn't care who he was going to see; his main concern was the Foundation Establishment cultivation method.

Qin Yao chuckled, then opened a dimensional portal, instantly bringing him to the outside of Zixian Manor, where they slowly entered.

The main lobby of the resort.

Ye Chenxiang craned her neck in anticipation, her expression making it hard to tell whether she was waiting for an enemy or a lover.

Upon seeing Fang Lansheng's figure, boundless resentment welled up within him, causing his eyes to instantly turn blood red, and he raised his hand to grab the other's neck.

Fang Lansheng was startled and instinctively hid behind Qin Yao.

Qin Yao raised his hand and grasped Ye Chenxiang's palm, using the power of faith to quickly calm her down, and her pupils gradually returned to normal.

"Wake up, he's the reincarnation of Jin Lei. Jin Lei is dead." "Who is Jin Lei?" Fang Lansheng asked, leaning forward.

Looking at the face that was exactly the same as Jin Lei's, Ye Chenxiang gritted her teeth and said, "The person who poisoned my whole family."

Fang Lansheng blinked: "Was I this bad in my past life?"

Ye Chenxiang: "..."

For a moment, she didn't know how to respond.

Is it bad?
However, Jin Lei's precondition for poisoning the He family was that his father had slaughtered the entire He family for a sword manual.

Thinking about this, she suddenly realized how ridiculous her hatred over the years had been.

Especially now that Jin Lei is dead, this hatred has no place to stand.

"When will this cycle of revenge end? The Ye and He families are all dead. What is there left that you can't see through?" Qin Yao suddenly said.

Ye Chenxiang sighed softly, then looked up at Fang Lansheng: "Could you... hug me?"

Fang Lansheng: "?"

"Go ahead," Qin Yao said.

For the sake of the Foundation Establishment Technique, Fang Lansheng gritted his teeth, suppressed his shyness and fear, and came to the other party, opening his arms: "Come on."

Ye Chenxiang threw herself into his arms, craving the warmth of his embrace, but her body gradually became transparent.

"What's wrong with you?" Fang Lansheng asked, puzzled.

"I should go now." Ye Chenxiang said softly, "Being able to see you one last time before I leave would make me feel at peace."

As she was speaking, she summoned a fragment of jade from the ground with a flick of her wrist and tossed it into the air toward Qin Yao: "This is what I promised you."

Qin Yao reached out and caught the jade pendant, saying loudly, "Have a safe journey."

Ye Chenxiang smiled and gently kissed Fang Lansheng's face before disappearing completely.

Fang Lansheng was completely bewildered.

I was forcibly kissed by a female ghost?
Qin Yao couldn't help but chuckle. After putting away the jade pendant, he touched the space between the boy's eyebrows with one finger, leaving a fairly good foundation-building cultivation technique in his sea of ​​consciousness...

“Now that we have all three jade fragments, let’s head straight to the Qin Mausoleum.” Ouyang Shaogong pursed his lips and suggested softly.

Qin Yao nodded and asked, "Do you know the exact location of the Qin Mausoleum's underground palace?"

“I know, come with me,” Ouyang Shaogong said.

"Wait a moment, I'll take Fang Lansheng back to Qinchuan City first," Qin Yao said, raising his hand.

"No."

Fang Lansheng suddenly came to his senses and pleaded, "Great Hero Tu Su, please let me go with you too."

"We're looking for something, not going out to play. Why are you following us?" Qin Yao asked.

Fang Lansheng said, "Following you all broadens my horizons; this is also a way of venturing into the world."

Qin Yao shook his head: "But if we bring you along, we'll just be bringing a burden."

"How could that be? You're so powerful, Master Tu Su, you're more than capable of protecting me," Fang Lansheng said.

Ouyang Shaogong's heart stirred, and he smiled and said, "Senior Brother Tu Su, seeing his sincerity, why don't we take him with us?"

"Yes, yes, I am very sincere." Fang Lansheng nodded repeatedly.

Qin Yao hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing: "Alright, but you must obey, or I will send you back to Qinchuan immediately."

Fang Lansheng jumped for joy, patting his chest and promising, "Definitely, definitely..."

evening.

sunset.

As the sunset painted the sky, the group of five stopped at the entrance to an underground palace. Ouyang Shaogong raised his hand and formed a hand seal, using his immortal energy to forcefully open the heavy stone door.

However, just as they descended the stone steps and arrived in the underground world, a terrifying fireball suddenly appeared, startling Fang Lansheng.

With a flick of his finger, Qin Yao shattered the fireball instantly, and countless tiny flames fell to the ground and gradually extinguished themselves.

Immediately, he silently activated his divine eye, took the lead, and easily avoided all the traps until they reached the inner chamber of the tomb.

Seeing this, Fang Lansheng exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Great hero, did you used to be a tomb raider?"

"Shut up," Qin Yao said calmly.

Fang Lansheng: "..."

"What's that?" Xunfang suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed softly.

“They are terracotta warriors,” Ouyang Shaogong said.

"He's alive! He's alive..."

Fang Lansheng looked in the direction Xunfang was pointing and saw that the clay figurines were gradually turning into living people.

Qin Yao waved his sleeve, resealing these warriors: "They won't survive."

Fang Lansheng: "..."

After passing through the main hall, the group quickly arrived at a sword room filled with Qin swords. A sword light appeared out of thin air, but it did not strike anyone. Instead, it transformed into a man in black in front of the next tomb door and said in a deep voice, "Halt, you intruder."

"Are you a sword spirit?" Ouyang Shaogong asked.

"He is both a sword spirit and the guardian of the Qin Mausoleum's underground palace," the man in black said. "The main burial chamber is just ahead. Please do not disturb the spirit of the King."

"Is Qin Shi Huang's soul still around?" Fang Lansheng asked curiously.

The man in black frowned slightly: "Don't be rude."

Fang Lansheng: "..."

Qin Yao thought for a moment and then smiled, "We won't go in, but you can go in, right?"

The man in black was taken aback: "Huh?"

"Could you please go in and retrieve the Bright Moon Pearl for us? We need it to repair the Jade Pendant," Qin Yao said.

The man in black's expression immediately turned strange: "Why would I do this?"

Qin Yao said, "I can give you a set of secret manuals for becoming an immortal, and I promise to help you seal the Qin Mausoleum underground palace forever. In this way, you will have the opportunity to become an immortal and also gain freedom."

Man in black: "..."

Ouyang Shaogong: "..."

At this moment, their thoughts were almost unanimous: Is this even possible?

"Think it over carefully. Haven't you had enough after guarding this place for so many years?" Qin Yao said, almost seductively.

The man in black's expression shifted repeatedly before he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Give me the cultivation technique first."

"can."

Qin Yao flicked his finger and fired a beam of light that landed directly between the opponent's eyebrows.

The man in black suddenly froze on the spot. At that moment, he saw countless characters in his mind, the contents of which made him reluctant to look away.

"Wake up," Qin Yao said softly.

The man in black seemed to snap out of a daze, giving him a deep look: "Please wait a moment."

A moment later, he took out the Bright Moon Pearl and presented it to Qin Yao with both hands: "I am waiting for you to seal the underground palace forever."

Qin Yao reached out and took the Bright Moon Pearl, then turned to look at the expressionless Ouyang Shaogong: "Now that you have the item, can you repair the Jade Pendant?"

Ouyang Shaogong's thoughts raced, and he slowly said, "Repairing it won't be done in a day. Here's what we'll do: give me the Bright Moon Pearl and the Jade Horizontal Shield, and I'll repair it slowly."

During this time, you can go to Yaoshan to find the Moon Spirit Flower. Xunfang and I will wait for you to return in Qinchuan City..." (End of this chapter)
