“Stop!” Si Hongyue, who had been watching her closely, immediately followed.
Nangong Xue looked at the two of them, ready to chase after them, but heard Qin Changqing shout:
“Sister Nangong, I’ll handle that side, you help Elder Mu defeat the enemy!”
“Hmph!”
Nangong Xue knew Qin Changqing’s plan very well but didn’t say it clearly, instead, she charged into the battlefield with her sword.
Qin Changqing warned Qin Wushuang and Liu Siqi briefly before turning back towards the cave. He had just arrived at the entrance when a figure came flying out in reverse.
Bang!
Qin Changqing caught Si Hongyue.
Her face was pale, clearly having suffered a considerable injury.
“Stop her from seizing the Star Demon Order!” Si Hongyue immediately said, disregarding her injuries.
Instead of going inside, Qin Changqing controlled an array formation by invoking hand signs. Si Jiuming had just rushed in when a scene change occurred, and she suddenly appeared outside the cave.
Taking advantage of her shock, Qin Changqing quickly rushed in.
Inside the cave was a skeleton.
There was a storage bag next to the skeleton.
Qin Changqing grabbed the storage bag and took a quick look inside; the corner contained a command token.
Without having time to check it further, Si Jiuming attacked. As she advanced, the scene changed again, and Qin Changqing disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“Do you think you can kill me within my array formation?” Qin Changqing sneered, “A mere Golden Elixir brat, how dare you be so arrogant.”
“You!”
Si Jiuming was so angry that her chest trembled.
This guy was truly despicable!
If she had been outside the array, she could have beaten him ten times over!
“Did you get it?” Si Hongyue immediately asked.
“Mhm.” Qin Changqing nodded and, without wasting words, continued to control his Flying Sword to shoot at Si Jiuming, “Demon girl, take this.”
Hundreds of Flying Swords shot out.
Si Jiuming’s expression changed, and she invoked a technique. A mark lit up between her brows.
Her mark was different from Si Hongyue’s; it was a blooming lotus. At this moment, it collided with the Flying Swords, accompanied by an overwhelming demonic aura.
Ding ding ding ding ding-
The two forces were briefly locked in a stalemate in mid-air.
Seeing this, Si Hongyue immediately released her mark. The lotus platform flew out from between her brows and, with lightning speed, slammed into Si Jiuming’s chest.
Whump!-
Si Jiuming was sent flying, blood spilling from her mouth.
“Si Hongyue, how dare you team up with the people from Lingxiao Sect to deal with me!? I will definitely report this matter to the Sect Leader! ”
“Hmph! Focus on taking care of yourself first!”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Countless Flying Swords shot at her.
Si Jiuming’s face changed dramatically. Unable to fight for the Star Demon
Order, she invoked a technique and transformed into a bloody light, escaping.
Qin Changqing wanted to pursue, but he couldn’t locate Si Jiuming’s aura within the array formation.
“It’s the Blood Escape Technique,” Si Hongyue explained, “This technique is difficult to track unless there’s a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator here; otherwise, she can’t be caught.”
“She escaped?” Qin Changqing frowned.
“Don’t worry,” Si Hongyue said, “Although this technique is powerful, it consumes one’s life force. She is already severely injured and won’t come back; she wouldn’t dare to go to Yinxu Prefecture to threaten your family.”
“It’s not that,” Qin Changqing shook his head, “I wanted to capture her to have her as my Taoist couple.”
Si Hongyue was speechless.
This guy would really dare to choose anyone as his Taoist couple.
But it didn’t matter. To her, anything Qin Changqing had was not important. What was important was that Si Jiuming had failed, and she was about to succeed.Thinking of this, Si Hongyue reached out her hand and said, “As promised, give me the Star Demon Order.”
“Don’t be in a hurry.” Qin Changqing smiled, “I see that your injuries are quite serious. It’s not too late to come back to my house and recuperate for a few years.”
“Do you want to go back on your word?”
“Not at all, I’m just concerned about your safety.”
Si Hongyue’s mouth twitched slightly, “Do you want me to marry you?”
Qin Changqing puffed out his chest with pride, “Of course not, am I the kind of person who takes advantage of others? But if you have that idea, I won’t refuse. With me, nine or ten lives won’t hurt you! ” “Hehe-” Si Hongyue sneered.
How could she not know his thoughts?
After spending so long with Qin Changqing, she understood his character quite well.
“I can agree to that.” Si Hongyue suddenly smiled, “The premise is that you have to personally come to Huntian Sect to propose marriage. If you dare to come, I dare to marry you.”
The battle with the Huntian Sect ended quickly.
Si Jiuming was defeated and fled in blood. Without their backbone, the Huntian Sect could not withstand the assault of Nangong Xue and the others. In less than a quarter of an hour, the sect had nearly been wiped out. The last two Golden Elixir elders tried to escape but were trapped by Qin Changqing’s array formation and subsequently jointly killed.
With the death of the Huntian Sect’s people, Qin Changqing’s mission was completed. Before leaving, he searched the remaining herbs in the Array and took away all the Five Elements and Flying Swords, only then did he leave with satisfaction.
With these things, he could set up the Heaven and Earth Qianhe Array at any time.
“Sister Nangong, are you really not going to visit Yinxu Prefecture?” Outside the Tiankui Mountain Range, Nangong Xue was also preparing to leave.
However, she had no plans to go back to her sect or visit Yinxu Prefecture.
This made Qin Changqing quite regretful, and because of the previous incident, his cooked second junior sister flew away, making him doubly regretful.
“I’m going to continue looking for the materials for the Disaster-Alleviating Golden Elixir.” Nangong Xue said indifferently.
Apparently, she was still angry.
“That’s fine. It’s not too late for you to come to the Qin family after you find the other materials excluding the Blood Coral.” Qin Changqing laughed.
Nangong Xue was startled, “What do you mean? Brother, have you… have you found the Blood Coral?”
Previously, the Huntian Sect had been wiped out, and she had searched through the Array once but hadn’t seen any trace of the Blood Coral.
She thought it had escaped in the chaos.
“It wasn’t me who found it, it was Liu Siqi who did.” With that, Qin Changqing took out the Blood Coral and told Nangong Xue about it, “Siqi said that if you need it, you can share some for Alchemy. This Blood Coral is very large, enough for several portions.”
“Sister Liu…?”
Nangong Xue was astonished.
Such a precious gift, and she just gave it away without hesitation?
Qin Changqing chuckled lightly, “We are a family, there’s no need to discuss gains and losses.”
Well, actually Liu Siqi didn’t say that, but it’s fine because she let him handle it. What does it matter? The highest price is the price of a gift!
If it was a trade, it would be a transaction.
With a gift, it’s about sentiment.
Once the sentiment is taken, it’s easier to deal with in the future.
In fact, Nangong Xue couldn’t refuse, given the rarity of Blood Coral, which couldn’t be bought with money.
“Can I take a look at the Blood Coral?” Nangong Xue still wanted to see this legendary thing for herself.
“Of course, but be careful, it can run away.”
“I know.”
Nangong Xue set up a barrier first.
Then Qin Changqing opened the box.
As a result, she exclaimed in amazement, “This is… the Blood Coral King!?” “Blood Coral, King?”
“Yes.” Nangong Xue’s voice was somewhat excited, “Blood Coral matures in more than a thousand years. After it matures, it will develop a sense of consciousness and evolve into a Coral King within a thousand years. In addition to being more potent, the biggest feature of Blood Coral King is its regenerative power. As long as it is given the right environment, it can absorb Spiritual Qi to practice, and even recover from injuries.”
“Practice and recover?” Qin Changqing looked puzzled, “Does that mean…”
“Yes!” Nangong Xue nodded.
The two obviously thought of the same thing..
