Night without Borders

Chapter 586 Qin...Qianqiu

Larks chirped, and the red mangroves on the mountainside blazed like fire.

"The bandit's wife." Tang Yushang was lost in thought.

She desperately wanted to explain that this wasn't her true intention; it was a manifestation of her loss of control in the Barbarian Immortal Realm, and she had involuntarily uttered those words.

Tang Yushang hurriedly regained her composure with great determination and perseverance, allowing herself to clear her mind.

At this moment, she deeply understood what it meant to think before your mouth and act before your mind.

She spoke without restraint; what exactly did she say?
The most terrifying thing is that she actually went down the mountain herself and, quite seductively, captured Qin Ming and brought him back.

She could already imagine that even after leaving the Savage Immortal Realm, this dark history would be indelible and would be firmly bound to her.

This feeling of shame lasted only a moment before the "spellcasting" was interrupted.

Because the so-called awakening of consciousness and the return to calm are nothing more than a brief resurgence of passion under the normalized state of burning enthusiasm.

On the mountain, streams meander, springs gurgle, and all the trees are adorned with leaves like the sunset, creating a scene of almost unreal beauty.

In the woods, there was a rough palace built of huge stones, where several female upright ape demons were preparing food.

Tang Yushang sat high on the stone chair and ordered Qin Ming, "Go and wash all my battle clothes clean."

"Aren't they here?" Qin Ming pointed to the upright ape demons.

Tang Yushang glanced sideways and said, "What's the use of snatching you back?"

Qin Ming was speechless. They really treated him like a "maid"? Was this the repressed mentality of the Tang Dynasty in the past? Now it was becoming a reality.

"Anything else?" Qin Ming asked calmly, genuinely curious to see just how far Tang Yushang could go in letting loose.

Tang Yushang rose gracefully, exuding a queenly air. She raised her delicate eyebrows and lifted her snow-white chin, saying, "Come here and stand properly."

As Qin Ming approached, he asked, "What's next?"

Tang Yushang's eyes were captivating, her breath sweet as orchids, and she said, "Turn around."

Qin Ming was surprised, but then did as instructed.

Tang Yushang's bright red lips curled slightly, her eyes were very intense. First, she moved her slender waist like a willow, and then suddenly swung her long leg and kicked forward!

Qin Ming naturally wouldn't let her kick him. He suddenly spun around, grabbed her snow-white ankle, and flung her towards the stone chair in the center.

He hadn't expected that Tang Yushang's obsession with kicking him had penetrated to the bone, becoming a primal impulse hidden deep within him.

"Just a little bit short." Tang Yushang was unwilling to give up.

Qin Ming knew he couldn't let her continue like this. At the same time, he felt that human nature was a taboo subject and shouldn't be explored too deeply, otherwise, it could easily lead to "accidents".

Golden threads, like rain, were intricately interwoven. Qin Ming pierced Tang Yushang with one hundred and eight needles, and all the threads entered her spiritual field for purification.

In an instant, Tang Yushang froze there, motionless, like a clay or wooden sculpture.

She fell into self-doubt: Who am I? Where am I? What have I done? Where am I headed?

She slowly lowered her head, looking at her animal skin skirt, recalling the sacrificial war dance she had performed, and... the experience of forcibly taking Qin Ming up the mountain.

She screamed and rushed to the spring, intending to wash her face with cold water. Instantly, she saw her own appearance: a primitive tribal style, with a five-colored bird feather tucked into her hair. At this moment, she possessed a wild beauty, her face flushed with shame and indignation, her gaze alluring.

"Your Majesty!" Qin Ming called softly from behind.

With a splash, Tang Yushang plunged into the cool spring water after hearing the news. She wanted to calm down and reflect on her words and actions; she simply didn't want to live anymore.

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Does Your Majesty wish to take a bath? Would you like me to serve you?"

"You...get away!" Tang Yushang exhaled bubbles at the bottom of the water, plunging her head deep into the spring, not wanting to come out.

Qin Ming sat on her throne and laughed, "What's the big deal? We've been through life and death together, we're not strangers. Stop dawdling, come out quickly and let's talk about how to escape."

Tang Yushang covered her face with a horn-skin skirt, but even so, her pretty face was burning hot. She felt it was even worse than the last time she made a "meow" sound in public.

Despite feeling incredibly ashamed, she forced herself to walk out, soaking wet. After all, escaping was the most important thing right now.

She didn't want to be stuck in the Savage Immortal Realm forever, becoming a wild Tang Yushang.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat."

"Qin Ming, that's enough!"

"Ha ha……"

The two began a private conversation, which lasted for a long time. Afterward, Qin Ming walked down the mountain with light steps, a wide smile on his face, unable to contain his joy.

Qin Ming didn't approach Pei Shuyan and Cheng Sheng, but only observed them from a distance. He didn't want to have frequent contact with them. He was afraid that if the two brothers also rushed down the mountain with a loud cry, he would be exposed prematurely.

According to Qin Ming's observation, Pei Gong's temperament was no longer cold, and he seemed to have let go of his inhibitions. Not only was he served by a group of upright ape demons, but he was also cared for by winged birdmen.

He was practically promoted from Duke Pei to Grand Duke Pei, and even built a stone fortress on the mountain.

Does Old Pei really intend to do as he mentioned in his letter, to create a separate page for the family tree and start a new branch in another world?

Right now, Cheng Sheng's condition isn't much better either.

He had been sickly all winter, grieving over Zhao Qingcheng's passing.

But now, Qin Ming finds that he has shed his sorrowful mood and is almost completely assimilated into the native culture.

Before nightfall, Qin Ming acted precisely on time!

After careful investigation, he discovered that the savage giant elephant was indeed asleep.

"Hurry up!" He grabbed the elephant, then the cat, and led the brother and sister duo away, then rushed straight towards Pei Shuyan.

The ancient castle built of black gold stone was magnificent. Pei Gong got up early and began to inspect the territory, accompanied by twelve female upright ape demons. He was very impressive.

"You..." Although he had lost control, some of his memory and reason remained. When he saw the old friend, he was shocked and his eyes widened.

Without saying a word, Qin Ming sent over a hundred golden threads of rain that pierced through his mental field and quickly purified it. He didn't want to be entangled with the enthusiastic Pei Gong.

"I..." Pei Gong seemed to wake up from a dream, as if he had been in another world.

Then, he felt very uneasy, wondering what he had been doing all this time.
Is that still him? There are at least twelve female upright ape demons surrounding him every day. Is it because he is missing something and wants to make up for it under the control of his subconscious?

Qin Ming comforted him, "It's alright, just think of it as a dream."

Pei Gong reflected and said, "Fortunately, I did not make any fundamental mistakes."

Despite being surrounded by beautiful women, including those from the Winged Clan, he remained steadfast and never truly succumbed to depravity.

Bai Meng pouted, reverting to his characteristic big mouth, and said, "You're clearly someone whose body is still young, yet you sadly discover that spring has gone but the flowers remain, and people come but the birds are not startled."

Pei Gonggang had just regained his composure, but he almost got into a fight with him on the spot.

"Now I finally understand why your lineage is cursed. You have to shut your mouth!"

Even if Pei Gong had a mild temperament, he couldn't tolerate such a big mouth.

Then, Bai Meng was hit by three consecutive blows.

Tang Yushang thought he was outspoken and said all sorts of nonsense. Qin Ming, on the other hand, thought he was getting arrogant, calling her "Little Qin" during the rescue. Pei Gong, meanwhile, took advantage of the situation to vent his anger.

Soon after, Cheng Sheng was also rescued. His smile disappeared and was transferred to the faces of the others, while he once again showed a faint sadness and sorrow.

"run!"

After getting a little further away, Qin Ming led them on a journey at breakneck speed.

Cheng Sheng was shocked and said, "Brother, there's something wrong with your speed. How can you be so ridiculously fast?"

"To rescue you all, I specially borrowed a treasure that can greatly increase my speed. Hold on tight to me!" Qin Ming explained calmly. The four of them became his attachments, some holding his arms tightly, and others hugging his legs tightly.

Qin Ming broke through the night fog and traversed the sky.

Pei Gong was also somewhat dazed, saying, "Without the protective light barrier, I couldn't even open my eyes. This gale is too violent and fierce, like a grandmaster traveling!"

"You've broken through?" Tang Yushang turned her head and saw his handsome face, calm temperament, extraordinary demeanor, and natural way of doing things, which showed his powerful confidence.

Bai Meng's heart trembled. He knew very well how strong and abnormal Ming Ge was originally. Now that he had broken through again, wouldn't he have become a true grandmaster?
"You've broken through to the fourth realm?" Cheng Sheng asked. The familiar face in front of him, even though he was on the most difficult path of new life, had caught up quickly.

Pei Gong tentatively asked, "Your fourth realm... how come you seem to be much stronger than us?" He realized that Qin Ming was now unfathomable.

He had a strange feeling, as if he were facing those old monsters on the path to immortality.

Qin Ming nodded calmly and said, "After breaking through the barrier, I gained some insights."

Cheng Sheng was somewhat doubtful about life, and said, "How long have I been out of touch with the real world? I feel like I'm far behind Brother Qin. Have we been stuck in the Savage Immortal Realm for many years?"

Bai Meng wanted to say, "Accept reality. What I see before me is a Grandmaster, a fifth-realm expert in his early twenties. I've never heard of such a thing before!"

He imagined himself calling out to Xiao Qin, and how... exhilarating that must have been. He couldn't keep it to himself; it wasn't that he was inherently rebellious, but simply that the way he addressed her... made him secretly pleased.

Tang Yushang's eyes sparkled as she gazed at Qin Ming's handsome face, her gaze lingering for a long time, as she thought of her ancestors' youthful appearance.

Could the person before her be comparable to the Lord of Jade Capital? Her heart pounded wildly. The rise of her ancestors in that great era was accompanied by endless legends, and it was extremely splendid.

"Who is it? Stop!"

Ahead, on a large mountain, someone blocked the road, speaking in a rather forceful tone.

The leader was an old man, accompanied by six experts. They scrutinized Qin Ming and his companions with appraising eyes.

“They are all experts at the fourth realm!” Cheng Sheng said solemnly. There was no weakling in this team.

In fact, Qin Ming could see it more clearly: the old man at the head of the group was a grandmaster, and he was holding a conch shell and talking to someone in the distance.

The old man asked in a deep voice, "Have you found that evil master who is currently wanted by the authorities?"

"No," Qin Ming replied calmly.

The old man asked again, "Hmm, have you discovered any upright ape demon tribes or other tribes of advanced species nearby?"

When Qin Ming approached the mountain, he understood why the mountain had asked that question after hearing the resonance.

These people didn't have the guts to hunt down a grandmaster. Their main goal was to find some primitive tribes so that the Huang family's unparalleled genius could practice and hone his divine axe.

Qin Ming was disgusted. He already knew that Huang Zhaoting was using the Blood Refining Method to compensate for the forbidden technique—the Inner Realm Heaven-Opening Axe.

He replied coldly, "No!"

"How dare you speak like that? What kind of attitude is that?" a young man shouted.

He sensed that this person was only at the fourth realm, yet he brazenly hovered in the night sky, looking down at them from above, and his words were so concise that they consisted of only two words, devoid of warmth and icy coldness.

"How do you think I should speak to you?" Qin Ming stood with his hands behind his back.

The young man, a hint of coldness in his eyes, said, "Something is wrong with them. We should invite our master to come here to practice."

His companions knew very well that this was a characterization of several people.

If Huang Zhaoting comes here to practice his axe skills, even a grandmaster will die.

As they spoke, the young man took out a demon-revealing mirror and pointed it at Qin Ming and the others. He pretended to investigate their backgrounds, as if they really had a big problem.

For a moment, he showed a look of surprise, because he was too amazed to look at Tang Yushang's true appearance.

The elderly man at the head of the group, a grandmaster, witnessed the entire event with a calm expression and did not intervene.

Qin Ming calmly said, "Do you want to die if you use a demon-revealing mirror on people so casually?"

Moreover, he didn't just talk about it; he put it into action.

He extended his right hand unremarkably, without any terrifying fluctuations or soaring light. The primordial celestial light was contained and condensed into a large hand, which appeared out of thin air above the old man's head.

"not good!"

Others couldn't sense it, but the old man, a grandmaster, was horrified. His body was bent over as he was locked in by an invisible force.

His bones crackled and popped, yet he could not escape this terrible confinement; he was as if trapped in a field of divine and demonic power.

“My Lord…” he cried out for help through the conch shell.

During their search for the wanted evil master, their communication devices remained activated, in case of unforeseen circumstances.

The old man was terrified. He hadn't actually put his heart and soul into searching for that person; he was mainly looking for various indigenous tribes. How could he have suddenly encountered this formidable man?
For a moment, he had some doubts: Could it be that he had really encountered the real person?!

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to say anything. Despite his best efforts to resist, his bones exploded, his flesh shattered, and blood splattered everywhere.

With a soft "poof," he was crushed by that massive, chaotic hand, unable to dodge or resist.

His pure Yang consciousness revived, only to be gripped by that giant hand once more. Thunderous runes intertwined, and as the hand closed, he was plunged into darkness forever.

"you……"

The others were terrified, knowing full well the old man's level of cultivation—he had worked diligently for 160 years and become a grandmaster two years ago.

As a result, the old man was casually killed by the young man in the night sky.

Their scalps tingled with fear, especially the young man who had deliberately labeled Qin Ming and the others earlier with the demon-revealing mirror. His face turned deathly pale, and with a clang, the bronze mirror fell to the ground, and he could barely stand.

Qin Ming flicked his finger, and six divine rays flew past, causing all six experts of the fourth realm to explode, turning into six clouds of blood mist.

Then, a large hand bearing lightning runes gently swept over them, and their consciousness was completely extinguished.

The four "accessories" on Qin Ming's body were all deeply impressive.

Cheng Sheng swallowed hard and asked, "Brother Qin, are you really in the fourth realm?"

Pei Gong murmured to himself, "At this moment, I feel as if I have seen an acquaintance."

This was no illusion. Qin Ming was suspended high in the air, standing with his hands behind his back. With a wave of his hand, he killed seven experts. This domineering posture made Pei Shuyan feel that he had seen it before.

Then it dawned on him, and he said, "That's it, I think I saw... Patriarch Cao!"

Pei Gong immediately thought of Cao Qianqiu, who was like the sun shining brightly in the sky. Wherever he went, heroes retreated. Otherwise, even a dog that dared to bark at the sky would be swatted to death.

Pei Shuyan was certain that for a moment, Brother Qin resembled... Qin Qianqiu.

Qin Ming was speechless. He hadn't killed any innocent people indiscriminately, had he?
If these people hadn't provoked him, and if Qin Ming hadn't sensed their malicious intent—that they wanted Huang Zhaoting to come here to practice his axe skills—he wouldn't have acted so ruthlessly.

Since we've encountered this situation, we naturally need to settle things.

Qin Ming had already heard that the Huang family's unparalleled genius and the Star Mountain's war beasts had all come to the Barbarian Immortal Realm for the sake of the Grandmaster—the light of the righteous path.

Furthermore, Huang Zhaoting is only a few hundred miles away, not far from here. The old man just sent a message through the snow-white conch shell, so he should already know some of the situation here.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, that extraordinary genius may have already set off.

A murderous aura surged within Qin Ming, soaring to the heavens.

He really wanted to weigh just how powerful the so-called "previous generation god" really was.

Hundreds of miles away, Huang Zhaoting could no longer suppress his murderous intent!
"Interesting. There really are some cowards who dare to touch my Huang family?" He leaped into the sky, his body adorned with immortal patterns, and dazzling light tore through the night.

In an instant, he was more dazzling than a comet streaking across the sky, shooting straight into the distance, causing all the clouds and mist along his path to explode.

Nearby, many people looked up abruptly, their faces filled with shock. The intense fluctuations were terrifying, causing their mental fields to tremble.

"Who is that?"

"Huang Zhaoting, an unparalleled genius of the Huang family!"

"This person actually traveled far away in person, and the murderous aura surrounding him soared into the sky. Could it be that he has discovered a grandmaster—Zheng Guang?"

In an instant, the area was detonated, alarming everyone. Was a major event like a comet hitting the moon about to occur?
"That's Huang Zhaoting, a god in the hearts of our generation. He's been invited to the Barbarian Immortal Realm to personally take action!"

The news caused an uproar across this wild and desolate land.

In the blink of an eye, many experts soared into the night sky, and a large number of cultivators followed, wanting to witness Huang Zhaoting's duel with the light of the righteous path.

Qin Ming sensed the fluctuations in the distance, a cold glint appearing deep in his eyes, and a surge of killing intent rising within him.

The main problem is that after he let the Huang family go, the clan not only did not restrain themselves, but also sent a Grandmaster and a peerless genius from the previous generation to deal with him.

"They don't know when to advance or retreat." Qin Ming made a decision in his heart: it was necessary to let them feel the taste of "excruciating pain".

If that's the case, then he'll give it a try and see if he can kill a "god from the previous version"!
