What do you mean by my awakened profession being Monster Hunter?

Even though everyone knows that the immortal corpse came from the little demon, he's completely washing his hands of it.

Wang Xi suddenly spoke up: "That immortal corpse, did you tamper with it? Or is there something seriously wrong with that immortal corpse!"

Qi Shi'an looked at her, his eyes playful: "Fairy Wang, your question is unreasonable. If I could tamper with a celestial corpse without being detected, wouldn't I have become an immortal long ago?"

He spoke frankly, but Wang Xi felt uneasy because they couldn't find anything unusual, which was the most unsettling part.

"Let's go." Wang Xi said no more and turned to leave.

Jin Zhan gave a heavy snort and quickly followed after him, not wanting to stay a moment longer.

Several elderly men with grim faces followed closely behind. One of them paused, turned around, and looked back with a piercing gaze.

Qi Shi'an met his gaze, grinned, revealing his white teeth, and the old man snorted coldly and turned away.

As the group walked away, Xuanyuan Jingtian approached and whispered, "Master, why did those people act like they'd swallowed flies? Did you steal their wives?"

Qi Shi'an slapped him on the back of the head: "Am I that kind of person?"

"Then why were you laughing so slyly, and even a little lewdly..." Xuan Yuan Jingtian muttered, covering his head.

"Hmm? How's your swordsmanship practice going today? Watch out, I'm about to test you!"

Qi Shi'an glanced at it, which startled Xuan Yuan Jingtian so much that he quickly ran off to practice his skills, not daring to stay for even a second longer.

He looked towards the open space not far away, where a group of children were basking in the sun, diligently practicing their skills.

Since he arrived in the Xuanyuan Clan, everything here has undergone tremendous changes. The once oppressive tribe has now become vibrant and energetic.

"Oh, youth is wonderful," Qi Shi'an said with a faint smile.

"You talk like you're so old. You're only in your twenties. What are you lamenting about life for?" A languid voice came from behind, carrying a hint of allure.

Qi Shi'an raised an eyebrow and smiled meaningfully: "Tch, don't you know best whether I'm old or not?"

"Pah, shameless." The witch's pretty face flushed red.

At this moment, the witch had styled her hair into a bun, giving her a unique allure and a mature charm that came from experience.

"Now that you're awake, come with me for a bit," Qi Shi'an said.

"Where to?" the dragon girl asked.

"Hall of War Merit!"

Qi Shi'an did not trust the two great families and had to go and see for himself whether the Xuanyuan clan had truly been pardoned.

······

This is an open area with a huge training ground where people often spar and hone their skills.

The same is true at this moment; in every martial arts arena, people are competing, and many people are cheering them on from below.

Not far away is a distinctive palace in the Imperial Pass, where you can collect your war merits!

"Wow, quite a lot of people," Qi Shi'an exclaimed in amazement.

"Little devil?"

In the distance, some people stood at the edge of the training ground and saw him.

"He actually came. Is he here to claim his war merits?"

"I heard that the little devil has killed countless enemies outside the pass, and even killed members of the imperial family and supreme beings. He must have a lot of battle merits!"

"Killing members of the imperial clan is believable, but isn't the Supreme being a bit of an exaggeration? He's only at the Severing My Realm, the gap between him and the Supreme is too great."

A large group of creatures surrounded them, representing all races and cultivation levels from the Celestial God Realm to the Escape One Realm.

The Demon Lord's return caused a huge sensation, and the news naturally reached this place as well.

It should be noted that the Demon Lord is now quite famous, so his arrival here is bound to attract attention.

Of course, there was another group of people who were clearly standing together, with a sense of shared hatred for the enemy, and they were vaguely hostile to Qi Shi'an.

"Little devil, it seems someone's really annoyed with you, judging by the way they're staring at you," the witch teased.

"That's normal. There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. There are too many people who are unhappy with me to count." Qi Shi'an didn't care at all.

Normally, the creatures in the training ground are warlike. Few creatures cultivate or go into seclusion here; most fight each other.

Because those who truly want to cultivate themselves or go into seclusion will choose a quiet place, and each race has an excellent pure land for cultivation.

Therefore, the creatures here are all troublemakers, extremely warlike, and most likely to cause trouble.

"The onlookers came from all races. As for those cultivators who gathered together and harbored ill will towards you, most of them were followers of the Jin and Wang families, or were scions of powerful and arrogant clans."

The Dragon Girl recognized some of the people's identities and reminded Qi Shi'an.

"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either. Let's see what tricks they have up their sleeves."

Qi Shi'an remained calm as he walked towards a nearby palace, where he could examine the merit badges and verify the quantity and authenticity of his achievements.

When they saw the little devil striding confidently toward the Hall of Merit, everyone's hearts stirred, and they immediately understood that the little devil had probably really gained a lot this time.

"So what if a young cultivator can kill a member of an imperial clan? That's just good luck. If someone from an imperial clan were to appear on the battlefield, the young master of the Jin family could do the same!"

A middle-aged cultivator spoke up. He wore a crimson crown and crimson-gold armor, looking quite imposing.

This is a great cultivator named Du Wenshan, a follower of the Jin family, but he is also very strong, having already entered the Escape One Realm many years ago.

“Countless cultivators at the Escape One Realm have died by my hand. You’re just a lackey, what are you pretending for?” Qi Shi’an glanced at him contemptuously.

Just then, several more people approached from a distance. They were all familiar faces, with Jin Zhuhu and Jin Zhupeng leading the way. Both were great cultivators at the Escape One Realm and direct descendants of the Jin family.

In addition, several other people accompanied them, including Jin Langtian and Jin Zhifei, as well as members of the Wang family.

"Teach him a lesson, even if it severely injures him. According to reliable sources, the soul lamps hanging outside the giant palace where Meng Tianzheng is in seclusion are about to go out. He probably won't be able to hold on much longer!"

Before these people even got close, they had already secretly communicated with their followers, signaling them to attack together and teach the little devil a lesson in a fair and square manner.

Furthermore, they brought news that Meng Tianzheng was dying.

This immediately gave the group of people present a lot of confidence; otherwise, they really wouldn't have dared to act rashly, and they were extremely wary!

Chapter 376 Outstanding Military Achievements

Jin Zhuhu, Jin Langtian, Jin Zhifei, and others came here because they were still unwilling to accept defeat and always wanted to find an opportunity to deal with the little devil.

Furthermore, they felt that the little devil might actually have made a significant contribution, which might amaze everyone.

If he were to be severely punished for provoking a powerful figure before receiving his war merits, it would undoubtedly tarnish his glory.

This is tantamount to trying to counter Qi Shi'an's brilliance. The Wang and Jin families have never given up and have always wanted to find an opportunity to suppress him for a period of time.

Of course, there's another point: they didn't want the little devil to check whether the Xuanyuan Clan had atoned their sins, because they had tampered with that information.

The ancestors of both families acted very discreetly, even pulling strings with all available connections, and were not afraid of being investigated.

But the little devil is an exception. Once he senses something is wrong, based on their understanding, the little devil might not care about the truth or falsehood and will directly attack the ancestral land.

"Young man, since you are so arrogant and look down on great cultivators, how about I teach you a few moves?" After receiving instructions, Du Wenshan and the others prepared to make their move.

They didn't believe in superstition and thought it was impossible for the little devil to be able to defeat a peak-level cultivator, so they wanted to test him.

"Members of the Wang family, why don't you come and have a fierce battle with me first?"

Just then, a group of people stepped out from the crowd, led by Xu Linyang, who was accompanied by a group of experts from the Xu royal family.

Everyone was shocked. The Xu royal family and the Wang family had been at odds since ancient times. Now that the Wang family had obtained the immortal corpse, it was very likely that Wang Changsheng would become an immortal, which was something they would never allow!

"Jin Zhuhu, I've heard that your clan's martial arts are unparalleled. I'd like to experience them for myself!"

Not far away, another person from the Longevity Dao lineage stepped forward; they had come specifically for the Jin family.

In no time, the martial arts arena was filled with people from various forces, and judging from the scale of the gathering, almost all of them were there with their sights set on the Wang and Jin families.

"Wang family, Jin family, you should deal with the hot potato you're dealing with first." Qi Shi'an smiled faintly. "Achieving immortality, who should go first and who should go last, that's a huge problem."

Since ancient times, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have been plagued by internal strife, with the Wang and Jin families being among the root causes of this chaos.

Now that a celestial corpse has fallen into the hands of the Wang and Jin families, it is undoubtedly a ticking time bomb. Even with the different circumstances, no one dares to gamble on it.

Once Wang Changsheng truly becomes an immortal, the格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall structure or pattern) of the Nine Heavens will be completely overturned. A family skilled in internal strife will take control of the world, which, in the eyes of countless people, is a misfortune for the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Therefore, they were bound to act ruthlessly. Before the arrival of the foreign army, the Wang and Jin families were thorns in everyone's side.

"You...you deliberately abandoned the immortal corpse!?"

Jin Zhuhu's eyes blazed with fury. Only now did he understand why the little devil had given up so decisively back then.

Qi Shi'an smiled mockingly and said with a wicked grin, "It's just a celestial corpse. Aren't there plenty of those in the ancient lands of immortals? Do you really think I care about an external object?"

Although the Immortal Realm is a desolate place, it is also an ancient battlefield, with Immortal relics scattered everywhere. Countless immortal beings once shed their blood on this land.

If a spirit corpse can be born there, there will definitely be a second, a third... As long as you are strong enough and dare to explore, one more won't make a difference.

That's why he used a celestial corpse as a setup, and in front of everyone at the Imperial Pass, he traded it to the Wang and Jin families.

If he were weak in the past, he certainly wouldn't have missed this immortal corpse.

But at his current level, the immortal corpse is of little use to him, far less important than immortal scriptures and rare treasures.

Because he cultivates the Ancestral Court Dao Realm system, and integrates the laws of this world and the ancient immortal laws into it, relying solely on himself without external aids!

"Everyone, enjoy this moment. The future is long, and so many forces across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths desire to possess it, but there is only one Immortal Corpse. Faced with the relentless bombardment of countless people, can Wang Changsheng truly remain calm and focused on his comprehension?"

Qi Shi'an smiled, then turned around and walked straight toward a magnificent building without glancing at the people from the Wang and Jin factions again.

When passing by the training ground, the creatures there would involuntarily make way, showing a sense of apprehension.

The great cultivator from the Purple Mansion spoke in a cold, eerie voice: "Jin Zhu Hu, come up and fight me!"

The Purple Mansion is the immortal family of the Purple Sun Heavenly Lord, and it is one of the most prosperous ancient lands in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!

The family originated in the previous era, perhaps it could be said that it was founded by immortal beings, and in the past it had unparalleled power, shining like the sun in the sky.

"Members of the Wang family, come forward and fight my Xu family! The loser shall surrender the immortal corpse!"

"My Lü family also wishes to see the immortal corpse!"

"This immortal corpse is mine, the Southern Ridge Divine Mountain!"

"..."

In an instant, the atmosphere became extremely tense. No one expected that as soon as the Wang and Jin families appeared, so many powerful figures from major forces would come to the martial arts arena to challenge the two great families of immortality!

This had such a huge impact that it left all the creatures present speechless; if not handled properly, it could lead to a major problem.

If Jin Zhuhu, Jin Zhifei, and others are defeated, the powerful figures from these major forces may bring their clan's most treasured artifacts and march on the ancestral lands of the two great immortal families, threatening them to hand over the immortal corpses.

It's possible that even some experts from reclusive powerful clans will emerge. Once that situation arises, Wang Changsheng and Jin Taijun will have to bow to the prevailing trend.

At the same time, many people were taking action, spreading the news and informing the leaders of various ethnic groups.

"You're really bold, daring to scheme against those two great families. Aren't you afraid that Wang Changsheng and Jin Taijun will come out of seclusion and capture you?" The witch smiled faintly.

"I can't beat Wang Changsheng, but I can avoid him. But I'm really not afraid of that old bastard Jin Taijun!" Qi Shi'an said with great confidence.

He led the two beauties into the hall, and several old men opened their eyes and looked at the person in front of them, each of them showing a strange expression.

Because the last person to come and claim war merits that caused such a sensation was Huang!

"Give it to me, and I will examine it carefully." An old man stretched out his hand.

Qi Shi'an handed over the dominoes calmly, without the slightest ripple.

Outside the palace, a group of people were watching, all eager to know how many battle achievements the little devil had made; it was a scene of widespread interest.

Meanwhile, on the battle platform below, the battle intensified, with forces from both the Wang and Jin families arriving.

"My God, I've never seen such a lively scene before. What day is it today? People from powerful forces are coming in wave after wave."

"No one wants the Wang family's ancestor to obtain the immortal corpse, so they don't even want to give him a chance to comprehend it together."

Outside the palace, a commotion arose as everyone discussed the matter.

Soon, people fell silent, because several elderly men joined forces to examine and begin activating the domino.

boom!

Suddenly, the dominoes glowed, dazzlingly bright, shooting out beams of light that pierced through the ancient hall and soared into the sky. The scene was astonishing.

"This is... an extraordinary phenomenon signifying overwhelming military achievements, an unparalleled feat!"

They finally realized just how terrifying Qi Shi'an was, and how many alien creatures he had killed.

"One, two..."
