"puff--!"

Chen Qing groaned and fell heavily to the ground, sliding several feet before coming to a stop.

A glint of joy flashed in the one-eyed cultivator's eyes. He was about to unleash his bone sword to deliver a finishing blow when he saw Chen Qing roll to his feet. Although blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, there was no piercing wound on his chest.

"A high-grade defensive magic weapon?"

The one-eyed cultivator's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth.

Chen Qing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked down at the pierced Taoist robe on his chest, revealing the silver soft armor underneath; there was a white dot on the soft armor, but it had not been pierced.

"Thankfully, this silver-scaled soft armor is quite effective!"

Chen Qing secretly rejoiced, then glanced at the feet of the one-eyed cultivator, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The one-eyed cultivator looked down following his gaze and his expression changed drastically. He saw that two crimson flames had somehow wrapped around his ankles and were spreading upwards along his calves!

"A Fiery Talisman?!"

The one-eyed cultivator exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly activated his spiritual power. A water-blue spell shot out from his palm and poured it onto the flames. However, these two fire talismans were of the first-grade high quality, and the water-based spell he hastily activated was just a casual action. It was not enough to extinguish the flames.

Just as he was frantically trying to put out the fire, a crimson figure rushed in front of him.

It is indeed Qingtian!

The nine-foot-tall crimson giant ape stomped its foot on the ground, causing the ground to crack, and its right fist, carrying terrifying power, slammed down towards the one-eyed cultivator's head!

The one-eyed cultivator's face turned ashen. He hurriedly activated his defensive spells while simultaneously manipulating his bone sword to provide support; however, the flames on his feet had not yet extinguished, and his unsteady stance greatly reduced the power of his defensive spells.

"Bang--!"

The fist slammed into the defensive light shield, and the shield shattered instantly.

The one-eyed cultivator grunted and retreated rapidly, barely dodging the punch, but he didn't have time to retract his bone sword.

Qingtian took a step forward, and the second punch followed immediately!

The one-eyed cultivator gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and summoned another small shield to block in front of him.

"Bang!"

The small shield shattered.

"Bang!"

The second punch landed squarely on the one-eyed cultivator's head. With a "crack," the headless corpse, like the female cultivator, swayed twice before falling straight to the ground.

now.

Only one scarred man remained in the arena.

He was being forced to defend himself by Dan Yu, his ghost-head saber unable to keep up with Dan Yu's speed. Several wounds had already appeared on his body, blood staining half of his clothes. Seeing his teammates all dead, the scarred man was terrified. He hurriedly urged his ghost-head saber to force Dan Yu back, flashed in front of Uncle Qi, bowed his head, and said in a trembling voice, "Uncle Qi, this person is too strange! His spirit beasts are incredibly powerful, and their coordination is perfect, as if they are of one mind—please, Uncle, take action!"

The voice just fell.

A streak of silver light flashed from Uncle Qi's hand, swift as lightning and silent.

The scarred man felt a chill in his chest. Looking down, he saw a silver light piercing through his chest, and blood was gushing from the wound.

-

He raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion and resentment: "Uncle Qi—Uncle Qi?"

"waste."

Uncle Qi uttered two words indifferently, then looked away without even glancing at him.

The scarred man swayed twice before collapsing to the ground, never understanding why his martial uncle would attack him until his death.

Chen Qing's pupils contracted slightly as he watched this scene.

It wasn't surprise, but vigilance.

This "Uncle Qi" even killed his own people, clearly showing he was a ruthless individual.

Chen Qing's hand had already quietly rested on the storage bag. His spiritual sense touched the cold surface of the Soul-Splitting Nail, and his spiritual power was secretly circulating within his body, ready to unleash this trump card at any moment.

Foundation building period.

In the world of cultivation, this word signifies absolute suppression.

The difference between Qi Refining cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators is not just a single realm, but a world of difference in the depth and richness of their spiritual energy.

The strength of one's spiritual consciousness, and one's comprehension of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

-

The fact that Gao Fu and his two companions were able to kill the creature in that secret realm can be attributed entirely to the perfect combination of favorable timing, location, and human factors.

Chen Qing was completely different at this moment. If it weren't for his two trump cards, the Soul-Splitting Nail and the Feather God Sword Talisman, he wouldn't be thinking about how to fight back, but rather what kind of dignified way to escape.

However, what happened next was completely unexpected by Chen Qing.

This Uncle Qi showed no intention of making a move. Instead, he sized him up, his tone tinged with amusement: "I heard from Yao'er that you killed quite a few Blood Spirit Abyss cultivators in the secret realm, which puzzled me at the time. Now that I see you, it answers my questions. You concealed your cultivation level, and you even used the 'Concealing Spirit Technique'!"

Chen Qing felt a chill run down his spine.

The other party saw through his method of concealing his cultivation level at a glance, and even knew the name of the cultivation technique.

He suppressed his doubts, maintained a calm expression, and asked indifferently, "What do you mean by that?"

Seeing this, Uncle Qi didn't keep him in suspense any longer. He stood with his hands behind his back and slowly said, "Alright, I won't talk to you about this anymore. I came here on the orders of the Blood Soul Sect to set up an array in Yunzhou. Coming to your Half Moon Lake is just a side job."

"But now, I'm certain of one thing: you killed Lin Ping, didn't you?"

Chen Qing felt a chill run down his spine but did not reply.

Uncle Qi saw his reaction and continued, "Back then, when Lin Ping died in the secret passage of Lin Yuan County, I targeted you, the garrison commander of Lin Yuan County. But you were only at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining at that time, not to mention that Lin Ping had four mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators under his command. Now I finally understand, you were hiding your cultivation level."

Chen Qing's mind raced.

Lin Ping was most likely the Qian Kingdom cultivator he killed in the Blood Spirit Abyss secret passage.

Judging from the tone of this Uncle Qi, he clearly had a past relationship with Lin Ping, and his visit this time was most likely to avenge him.

Thinking this, Chen Qing calmed down instead: "You've come to avenge Lin Ping, haven't you? In that case, no need for further words, let's see who's the better fighter."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Qi shook his head, a slight smile even appearing on his lips: "If you hadn't saved Yao'er in the secret realm, I would indeed have killed you, but this time it's different. I'm just here to remind you to leave this place as soon as possible."

Chen Qing frowned slightly, already having a guess in his mind: "What do you mean?"

Uncle Qi pointed north and continued, "The Blood Soul Sect disciples have finished assembling in the Qian Kingdom. In three days, they will launch a major attack on the Wu Kingdom through various secret passages. I came here to inform you of this so that you can leave as soon as possible."

Uncle Qi glanced at Chen Qing's well-prepared appearance and twitched his lips slightly: "But judging from your current appearance, you were obviously prepared in advance, which makes me seem like I went to unnecessary trouble."

After saying that, Uncle Qi pointed to the scarred man's corpse on the ground: "This man ambushed you three years ago. I brought him here specifically to repay a favor. Although Yao'er has already given you the Condensing Yuan Technique and a Foundation Establishment spiritual item, as her brother, I should still show my appreciation. I came to inform you to leave, and handing this man over to you is also a way of repaying this favor."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing understood about 70-80% of what was going on.

"Yao'er" — "Yao Qi" —

It was her.

The female cultivator he rescued in the Lin Yuan Secret Realm, the one with a good figure who claimed to be a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator surnamed Yao, was actually the younger sister of the Foundation Establishment cultivator in front of him.

No wonder Uncle Qi could name the "Hidden Spirit Technique"; it turns out he had practiced it himself.

Chen Qing thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask your name? And who is this 'Yao'er' you speak of?"

Uncle Qi had already turned around, but upon hearing this, he stopped, turned back to look at Chen Qing, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sized Chen Qing up and down: "I forgot to mention."

"My name is Qi Xuan, and Yao'er is my younger sister. In your memory, she should be called Yao Qi."

"She asked me to inform you to leave Lin Yuan County, and also to tell you her real name."

"Qi Yao".

After saying that, Qi Xuan raised his hand and waved it. Five beams of spiritual light flew out from the waists of the five corpses on the ground and fell into his sleeve. Then, a silver light rose from his feet, and he transformed into a long rainbow, breaking through the sky to the north and disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Chen Qing stood there, watching the receding silver light, his lips twitching slightly.

One is "Yao Qi," and the other is "Qi Yao." So even that woman's name is fake.

Although this was the most dangerous experience he had had in the three years since he came here, Chen Qing did not regret not taking action against Qi Yao.

Without Qi Yao, Qi Xuan would never have known that he killed Lin Ping; but with Qi Yao present, Qi Xuan's main purpose in coming here was to repay a favor.

But Chen Qing didn't understand why Qi Xuan had his five subordinates attack him first; in his view, these five were obviously cannon fodder, and might even have a grudge against Qi Xuan, which made Chen Qing very nervous.

In fact, Chen Qing was unaware of something.

When Qi Yao returned to the Bone Palace that day, Qi Xuan saw that she was seriously injured. After some subtle questioning, he guessed that something unclear might have happened between his sister and Chen Qing.

Qi Xuan has a somewhat doting brotherly personality. Although he came to repay a favor, he is also a bit stubborn and wanted to teach Chen Qing a lesson. Therefore, he did not stop the five people from attacking. Of course, if Chen Qing failed to fight back, he would also step in to save him.

He just hadn't expected that Chen Qing would be able to take care of all five of them; this was truly beyond his expectations.

Chen Qing withdrew his gaze and looked down at the scarred man on the ground, who was already dead.

Three years ago, it was this very man who led a group of people to ambush him, Xu Gui, and Xiao Chunan on the official road; if it weren't for Xu Gui's desperate protection, Chen Qing would probably have become a pile of bones long ago.

The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unhappy.

Dan Yu opened his mouth and unleashed a white flame, turning the scarred man's corpse to ashes.

A moment later, Chen Qing carried Xu Xian onto the Azure Wind Boat, glanced back at Half Moon Lake where he had stayed for three years, sent out a few transmission talismans, and then the Azure Wind Boat soared into the sky.

In the southwest, the crimson pillar of blood still hangs in the sky, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, like an eye slowly opening, looking down on this land about to be engulfed in turmoil.
