Wuxia: Ning Zhongze, who became a disciple of Mount Hua, is shrouded in blue silver.

Zhang Wuji fully understood Xiao Zhao's warning.

He could clearly feel the damage the dirty water thunder had inflicted on him.

He used the Nine Yang Divine Skill to resist it, and it worked very well, so the Water Dirty Lightning had little effect on him.

But Zhao Qing had already made his move, slashing at Zhang Wuji with his Changhong sword.

A red sword aura shot straight at Zhang Wuji's face.

Zhang Wuji's expression changed drastically, and he immediately dodged.

He knew he absolutely couldn't block Zhao Qing's sword strike.

Despite his limited mobility, Zhang Wuji was still very fast.

He dodged Zhao Qing's fatal blow.

Zhao Qing continued to launch a fierce attack on Zhang Wuji with the Changhong Sword.

Zhang Wuji was completely unable to defend himself and could only barely dodge.

"Thunderbolt Imprisonment!"

Suddenly, the water-stained thunder on the ground rose up, turning into a cage of lightning that trapped Zhang Wuji.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Qing transformed into a streak of red light and rushed towards Zhang Wuji.

Zhang Wuji unleashed his full inner energy, shattering the cage.

Before the cage fragments hit the ground, he quickly retreated, putting distance between himself and Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing suddenly stopped, changed the direction of the Long Rainbow Sword, and pierced through the White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng with one strike.

Yin Tian was cleaved in two on the spot.

Zhao Qing then struck back with his palm, and the flames instantly refined Yin Tianzheng into a crimson pill.

My maternal grandfather died a tragic death and was even refined into an elixir, leaving no trace of his body.

Zhang Wuji flew into a rage and roared, "You beast, I will kill you!"

Zhang Wuji lost all reason and charged madly at Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing dared not underestimate his opponent and unleashed the full power of the Rainbow Sword Technique to meet the attack with a single strike.

The sword and the fist were an inch apart, locked in a stalemate for a moment.

Zhao Qing, at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm, possessed overwhelming power that Zhang Wuji was completely unable to withstand.

Zhang Wuji spat out blood and was sent flying by Zhao Qing's attack.

Zhao Qing immediately caught up, giving Zhang Wuji no chance to catch his breath, and with a backhand slash, cut off one of his arms.

Zhang Wuji screamed in agony, but Zhao Qing showed no mercy, grabbing him by the collar and throwing him away.

Zhang Wuji's body flew through the sky and crashed heavily in front of the Emei Sect's mountain gate.

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Zhou Zhiruo immediately tried to rush over.

She used the Yin Five Thunder Technique—Palm Thunder!

At this moment, Zhao Qing delivered another palm strike, causing Zhang Wuji even greater pain.

Zhao Qing said coldly, "Miss Zhou, if you don't want Zhang Wuji to die here, then obediently stand aside."

These words stunned both Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji.

The Wudang sect members were also shocked.

"What...do you mean?"

Song Yuanqiao couldn't help but ask loudly.

This person is none other than Zhang Wuji, the only son of Zhang Wuxia of Wudang, whom Miss Zhou misses day and night.

After Zhao Qing finished speaking, he directly revealed Zhang Wuji's true identity.

He didn't kill Zhang Wuji on the spot, but only injured him.

Zhao Qing did this not because he particularly valued Zhang Wuji, nor because he was afraid of Zhang Sanfeng, but because he felt that Zhang Wuji still had value to be used.

The system he brought was very special; the more bizarre the event, the easier it was to trigger.

Zhao Qing thought to himself, if he spared Zhang Wuji's life, perhaps he could pull off even more outrageous tricks.

For example, when he and Zhiruo were being intimate, he would have Zhang Wuji watch from the side.

For example, when he forcibly took Zhiruo, he also made Zhang Wuji and Song Qingshu watch together.

Wuji!

"Wuji!"

After confirming Zhang Wuji's identity, the Wudang Sect members rushed forward, staging a touching scene of family reunion.

Zhao Qing consumed the pills that had been refined from Yin Tianzheng and slowly walked towards Yang Xiao.

At this point, Yang Xiao and his companions were severely injured and completely incapacitated.

Zhao Qing didn't take them seriously at all; he could finish them off with a single sword strike.

They are now completely defenseless, like lambs to the slaughter.

Yang Buhui stepped forward to protect her father from Yang Xiao.

Zhao Qing used the tip of the Changhong Sword to lift Yang Buhui's chin and carefully looked at her face.

Yang Buhui was good-looking, with a round face, fair skin, delicate features, and a quiet demeanor.

"Young Master Yang, please spare my father..." Yang Buhui begged Zhao Qing for mercy.

She had heard that Zhao Qing was a womanizer and hoped that her beauty would pique his interest.

But Zhao Qing had no interest in her whatsoever.

Although Yang Buhui is beautiful, Zhao Qing thinks she is very ordinary.

"I'm sorry, little sister, I, Zhao Qing, am indeed a womanizer, but with your looks, I'm not interested."

So, go to hell.

Zhao Qing brandished his long rainbow sword, aiming straight for Yang Buhui's throat.

The members of the six major sects were all shocked by Zhao Qing's decisiveness.

Yang Xiao was furious when he saw his daughter killed by Zhao Qing.

Ignoring his injuries, he stood up and roared, "Bastard!"

I'm going to kill you!

Yang Xiao, having resolved to die, struck Zhao Qing with a palm strike filled with resentment.

The power and speed of that palm strike were indeed formidable.

Yang Xiao's full-force palm strike could kill a grandmaster-level expert.

But Zhao Qing is not an ordinary grandmaster; he is a mid-stage grandmaster with unparalleled martial arts skills.

With Zhao Qing's cultivation level, he could even fight against a Grandmaster.

Yang Xiao was only at the peak of the Innate Realm, so even if he tried his best, he couldn't hurt Zhao Qing.

Bang!

Yang Xiao's body was blasted away.

He failed to injure Zhao Qing; instead, he was thrown back by the powerful recoil.

Yang Xiao, the number one master on the Innate Ranking and the Left Guardian of the Ming Cult, died on the spot.

Seeing Yang Xiao die at Zhao Qing's hands, the Ming Cult members could no longer tolerate it.

Zhou Dian immediately cursed angrily: "You villain, you have a vicious heart!"

Even if I, Zhou Dian, die today, I will never let you go!

"damn it!

Brothers, we're all going to die anyway, might as well fight this scoundrel to the death!

The usually mild-mannered monk Peng was now enraged.

"You villain, I'll take your life!"

The Green-Winged Bat King, Wei Yixiao, was also enraged and pounced directly on Zhao Qing.

The Ming Cult masters immediately stopped healing and rushed forward to fight Zhao Qing to the death.

boom!

Flames erupted from Zhao Qing's body, instantly igniting the entire hall!

The Ming Cult's main hall was instantly engulfed in flames!

The fire killed all the Ming Cult masters.

The flames gradually died down, and Zhao Qing slowly walked out.

He smiled as he looked at the six major factions behind him.

The six major factions were in despair... They couldn't defeat this enemy and had no idea what to do.

Zhao Qing did not attack them, but said, "You are still useful. Lay down your weapons, surrender, and come down the mountain with me."

After saying that, Zhao Qing waved his hand, and the flames behind him immediately disappeared.

Many red pills appeared in his palm.

Zhao Qing immediately swallowed the pills, and only after the medicine took effect did he slowly walk towards the people from the six major sects.

At the same time, he lifted the seal on the Northern Azure Pool.

He took Xiao Zhao's hand and said to her with a smile, "You are the daughter of the Purple-Robed Dragon King, and you are indeed very beautiful."

Xiao Zhao has a delicate oval face, fair and jade-like skin, and a straight nose.

Her eyes were deep blue.

She was more charming than any Han woman, with bright eyes and white teeth. Although young, she was tall and slender, making her all the more endearing.

Her exotic charm is captivating.

Xiao Zhao was led away by Zhao Qing without resisting at all.

She knew that resistance was futile.

Zhao Qing knew her true identity, which greatly surprised Xiao Zhao.

The people from the six major sects made way for Zhao Qing.

Zhao Qing walked straight to the door, stopped, and turned to look at the crowd: "You're not coming with me? Do you want me to refine you all?"

The people from the six major sects looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Kongtong Sect's Zong Weixia whispered to the Huashan Sect Leader, "Zhao Qing's martial arts are very high. No matter how many of us there are, we can't beat him."

Taking action is tantamount to suicide.

"Where there's life, there's hope."

The Huashan Sect Leader nodded and said, "Making a move now would be suicide. Let's hold back for now."

With someone taking the lead, everyone discussed it for a while and finally chose to surrender.

One-line gorge.

Zhao Min's men were lying in ambush here.

As soon as Zhao Qing appeared, Zhao Min immediately stepped forward.

Standing next to Zhao Qing was an extremely beautiful woman. Zhao Min immediately frowned and said sarcastically, "You really haven't been idle."

Zhao Qing replied with a smile, "Wouldn't it be good to have another younger sister? Does the princess forbid me from taking another concubine?"

Zhao Min glanced at Zhao Qing and said, "How dare I object? With Young Master Yang's martial arts skills and status, let alone one, even ten or a hundred, who would dare to say a word?"

Her sarcasm was obvious, but Zhao Qing didn't care.

Which woman doesn't want her husband to love only her? But given Zhao Qing's current status, she can't stop him from taking a concubine.

Even if you can't stop them, it's normal to complain a little.

Zhao Qing said no more, only saying, "The people from the six major sects are all behind you. You handle it yourself. I have other things to do."

After saying that, Zhao Qing picked up Xiao Zhao and left first... Zhao Qing carried Xiao Zhao and ran away quickly, finding a secluded place.

After confirming that no one was around, Zhao Qing put Xiao Zhao down.

Xiao Zhao remained completely still throughout.

Zhao Qing grabbed Xiao Zhao's chin and asked, "Why didn't you resist?"

Xiao Zhao calmly said, "Your martial arts skills are superior; I can't beat you, and resisting is useless."

Zhao Qing praised, "You are the daughter of the Purple-Robed Dragon King, the Holy Maiden of the Ming Cult's Persian headquarters, and you will not change color even if Mount Tai collapses."

Few women can maintain such composure.

Xiao Zhao smiled when she heard the praise; her smile was incredibly charming.

Her beauty surpasses that of Zhao Min and Huang Rong.

She was beautifully proportioned, with a lovely oval face and bright, expressive eyes.

Her nose was high and straight, giving her an exotic look.

Zhao Qing liked this endearing appearance, but he wouldn't show it any tenderness; instead, he would unleash his beastly instincts.

Zhao Qing wasn't originally this kind of person, but after playing a psychopath for so long, he really got into the role.

Xiao Zhao's indifferent expression made him lose interest.

Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "Young Master Yang, you flatter me."

Zhao Qing looked at Xiao Zhao carefully.

Her clothes were simple, but she had a great figure and was even more beautiful than Zhao Min.

"Young Master Yang."

Xiao Zhao asked softly, "Since you want me, do you also hope that I will cooperate with you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing immediately became interested.

This is something that really needs to be done by both sides to be interesting.

Xiao Zhao was indifferent before, and Zhao Qing had no interest.

Now that she's brought it up herself, it's piqued his curiosity.

Zhao Qing asked directly, "Miss Xiao Zhao, are you trying to negotiate with me?"

Xiao Zhao nodded.

Zhao Qing said, "Go ahead and tell me."

Xiao Zhao made two requests: First, she asked Young Master Yang to let Young Master Zhang go.

She did indeed reserve a place for Zhang Wuji in her heart.

Xiao Zhao was just reaching the age of budding romance and didn't understand what love was.

She had never met a man who could move her heart before, until she met Zhang Wuji and began to have feelings for him.

Zhang Wuji was handsome, a rare talent, with exceptional martial arts skills, and a kind heart.

Such a man perfectly meets a woman's criteria for choosing a partner.

Given that the two had gone through hardships together in the secret passage, it's normal for Xiao Zhao to have feelings for him.

But Zhao Qing did not answer; instead, she lowered her head to think.

Xiao Zhao immediately said anxiously, "Young Master Yang, Young Master Zhang is not much of a threat to you, and you have already cut off one of his arms..." Zhao Qing interrupted Xiao Zhao, "Miss Xiao Zhao, I cannot agree to that."

Zhang Wuji is still useful to me.

"What I did will make him hate me."

Keeping him around will only hurt me sooner or later.

Xiao Zhao was puzzled.

Zhang Wuji's martial arts skills are inferior to yours.

You have extremely high talent and the Crimson Fire Divine Skill, why are you afraid of him? Xiao Zhao hurriedly said, "Young Master Zhang has good talent, but he won't improve in the future."

Even if he has exceptional talent, he can't compare to you, who can refine essence.

Zhao Qing smiled wryly: "I wasn't afraid of him before."

But now that the Crimson Fire Divine Skill has been made public, anyone can learn it.

Zhang Wuji's talent will soon surpass mine in this area.

He's progressing much faster than I am.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao was stunned and asked in confusion, "The Crimson Fire Divine Skill is so profound, why did Young Hero Yang reveal it so directly?"

Zhao Qing sighed and said, "I had no choice."

Many people want to seize this martial arts technique, so I have no choice but to reveal it publicly to save my life.

Xiao Zhao pouted, completely baffled by Zhao Qing's actions.

But upon closer examination, Zhao Qing's method does indeed solve the problem.

He made such a powerful martial arts manual public without hesitation; his decisiveness is admirable.

Xiao Zhao was caught in a dilemma.

She thought that falling into Zhao Qing's hands would definitely lead to a bad end.

Since that's the case, why not take this opportunity to negotiate with him?

As long as Zhang Wuji's life can be saved, it's not a loss.

Xiao Zhao suddenly felt despair.

Zhao Qing then said, "But if I only spare his life, I can only guarantee that he will live, but I can't control how he lives."

Xiao Zhao immediately said happily, "Thank you, Young Hero Yang!"

Zhao Qing stopped mentioning Zhang Wuji and went straight to his second condition.

Xiao Zhao said, "Young Master Yang knows my identity, so I won't hide it from you."

"I came to Bright Peak to steal the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth manual."

"Now that I have the cultivation manual, so..." Zhao Qing immediately understood what she meant.

Although Daisy betrayed the sect, she did not forget the Persian main church.

Dai Qisi must complete the task assigned by the head instructor.

She was determined to return the object to its rightful owner using the techniques of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth.

This would appease the anger of the main sect and allow for reconciliation.

"This is not difficult. I promise to send someone to deliver the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth manual to the Ming Cult's Persian headquarters."

Zhao Qing immediately agreed without hesitation.

He was wondering whether he should go to Persia himself.

He is already a public enemy of the martial arts world in the Nine Provinces Continent, and he cannot maintain his foothold if things continue like this.

The Persian Grand Master has many highly skilled practitioners.

Go to Persia, use the Crimson Fire Divine Skill to absorb all their internal energy, and then feast on it.

"Thank you, Young Master Yang."

Xiao Zhao thanked her again.

These words brought Zhao Qing back to reality.

Zhao Qing then said, "I agree to Miss Xiao Zhao's conditions. May we begin now?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhao blushed immediately, revealing a shy expression typical of young girls.

a few days later.

Zhao Qing brought Xiao Zhao to the Ruyang Prince's Mansion.

Zhao Qing had already cut off all of Xiao Zhao's handcuffs and shackles.

The Changhong sword is very sharp and can easily cut through handcuffs and shackles.

The masters from the six major sects are still imprisoned in Wan'an Temple in the city. Zhao Min and the others only returned two days ago.

Although there were many of them, they arrived before Zhao Qing because they hadn't rested and had been traveling non-stop.

Zhao Qing, however, strolled around leisurely, taking Xiao Zhao to play.

So Zhao Qing arrived two days late.

However, in the past few days, their feelings for each other have deepened.

It's true that feelings can develop over time.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Zhao Qing went to Zhao Min's room that very night.

Zhao Min lay on her side on the bed, with her back to Zhao Qing.

Upon seeing Zhao Qing, Zhao Min immediately said, "Why is Your Highness here tonight instead of spending time with your concubine?"

Zhao Qing crawled into bed and hurriedly said, "Madam is more beautiful than concubine."

I haven't contacted you lately because you've moved too fast for me to keep up.

Besides, you've been very busy lately, and I don't want to bother you.

Zhao Min snorted coldly: "Hmph!"

"The excuse of 'Prince Consort' is terrible."

"Madam, please don't be angry."

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

When a woman is angry, simply coaxing her won't work; you have to prove her wrong with actions.
