Chapter 442: Qi Yuan's Shocking Connection
Chapter 442: Qi Yuan's Shocking Connection
Outside the cave abode, Yu Mengxian stood anxiously, her expression filled with worry.
The Mixed Blood Sect's domineering nature was evident as they forcefully bought people with Immortal Jade without a second thought.
After about half an hour, a voice echoed from within the cave abode.
"How can I take my disciple's treasure? Take back the Heavenly Origin Odd Stone. I'll personally visit the Mixed Blood Sect to discuss this matter."
Fengling Tianzun's voice carried a mix of sighs and exasperation.
Even after attaining the Yang Shen cultivation, true freedom and bliss remained elusive.
Of course, compared to other cultivators, the Yang Shen realm was still an incredible achievement.
Yu Mengxian felt grateful upon hearing this.
However, Fengling Tianzun's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured onto her heart.
"The Mixed Blood Sect has always been arrogant and domineering. Moreover, Tuoba Lingyu is the beloved granddaughter of the sect's ancestor. I'm afraid there's little I can do about this matter..."
Fengling Tianzun's figure dissipated as he finished speaking.
His intention was clear—he might not be able to stop Tuoba Lingyu, and he was hinting for Yu Mengxian to take Qi Yi away.
On the other side, Qi Yi's expression changed upon hearing this, and he said with emotion, "Master, this is all my fault."
If not for him, his master wouldn't have to endure such humiliation.
"This has nothing to do with you. Blame Tuoba Lingyu!"
Yu Mengxian's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
The Celestial Sovereign's suggestion was clear—he wanted her to take Qi Yi and leave.
In the Principle Realm, even as a Celestial Sovereign, there were many things beyond his control.
The Celestial Sovereign's visit to the Mixed Blood Sect was a last-ditch effort to buy time for Yu Mengxian to take Qi Yi and leave.
But... leave?
With the Mixed Blood Sect's attention on them, how could they possibly escape?
The cultivators of the Lower Three Heavens were well aware of the sect's shamelessness.
For the sake of bloodline, they would stop at nothing.
Anyone who caught their eye had little chance of survival.
Yu Mengxian even suspected that if she took Qi Yi and left, they might fall right into the Mixed Blood Sect's trap.
"Master, the Mixed Blood Sect's request involves me, and I don't want to implicate you any further!" Qi Yi said with a serious expression after some thought.
Seeking the Celestial Sovereign's protection might even lead to his downfall.
At this moment, Qi Yi truly understood the cruelty of the cultivation world.
On Arching Star, some of the privileged might still maintain a facade of morality and righteousness.
But in the cultivation world, such notions held little value.
Some demon cultivators even wanted to brand themselves with the word 'demon' to proudly declare their identity.
In the Sixth Heaven, Gui Yu Tian's unrestrained actions in refining the Ten Thousand Ghost Souls Banner from countless lives went unchecked by any major power.
In the Sixth Heaven, strength was everything.
Yu Mengxian looked at Qi Yi, and the face of that Celestial Sovereign appeared in her mind.
If she had that Celestial Sovereign's strength, how could she let Qi Yi suffer?
In the Strange Land, that Celestial Sovereign had mysteriously disappeared. Robot Zero One found her and asked her to deliver something to Qi Yuan.
Later, she took Qi Yi and left Arching Star, only to find that it had vanished without a trace.
"It's a pity Arching Star is gone; otherwise, if we had the chance to return, the Mixed Blood Sect wouldn't be able to find us."
Yu Mengxian sighed.
Of course, it was just a thought.
The distance to the entrance of the Fire Spirit Realm was too far.
They would likely be intercepted by the Mixed Blood Sect before they even arrived.
Suddenly, Yu Mengxian thought of something and couldn't help but ask, "Your brother... does he have any connection with the Dark Demon Abyss?"
She remembered the figure she had seen in the abyss.
Qi Yi's expression was puzzled, but she shook her head, "No."
Her master on Arching Star was Qi Yuan's mother.
Regarding her brother, she only wished for him to live an ordinary life, not wanting him to be entangled in such matters.
But who could have guessed that he would suddenly become a Yang Shen Celestial Sovereign?
"However, there might be a connection," Qi Yi added seriously after some thought.
After all, she knew too little about her brother.
Yu Mengxian furrowed her brows, "I think I saw him among the geniuses from the Dark Demon Abyss at the Principle Debate Conference."
She was puzzled; if it was Qi Yuan, why would he stand among those geniuses?
After all, those geniuses were only at the Yin Shen cultivation.
"Oh?" Qi Yi was slightly taken aback.
"It's a pity that our status is too low to even think of meeting someone from the Dark Demon Abyss," Yu Mengxian sighed.
Even Tuoba Lingyu of the Mixed Blood Sect would likely need to wait for a long time to have her message delivered to that person.
After all, such geniuses would receive countless visitors daily, and unimportant messages might not even reach them.
"I just had someone investigate, and the information I received is that his name is Blood Robe, the second-ranked genius of the Dark Demon Abyss. Rumor has it that he has the talent to become a Yang Shen of the Principle Realm, so he probably isn't... Qi Yuan." Yu Mengxian didn't forget to ask Zhao Yu to investigate that person while visiting Fengling Tianzun.
She felt a bit disappointed upon receiving the investigation results from Zhao Yu.
Not being able to meet face-to-face, she could only rely on external information to determine if it was him.
She couldn't be sure if the person was truly Qi Yuan.
Qi Yi furrowed her brows, a thought crossed her mind, and she suddenly said, "If you want to know if it's him... why not... insult him in public?"
For Yang Shen Tianzun, being in the same realm, if someone discussed or insulted him, he would sense it.
Upon hearing this, Yu Mengxian's expression turned peculiar. "You make sense."
What if it really was Qi Yuan?
If it wasn't him, insulting him wouldn't cost him a thing.
But if it was, wouldn't this be perfect?
So sometimes, when looking for a Yang Shen, it's better to insult him.
"I'll do it." Qi Yi's determination filled her, and she imagined Qi Yuan's appearance in her mind. Her lips parted slightly, and her pretty face flushed, "Qi Yuan, you heartless scoundrel, irresponsible jerk, you toyed with this young lady's feelings, slept with me and then ran away..."
Qi Yi started her tirade.
Meanwhile, at the banquet, as glasses clinked and cups were exchanged, in a corner, Niu Jiao Jie stared at Xue Pao with narrowed eyes, "That little sister just now, her weapon is comparable to An Xunlu, her big butt is so perky, and her personality is as shy as Ziyuan Xiaolu, but I've seen countless women, and a woman like this..."
"Contrast?"
"Yes, that's the word, oh, your head is so smart!"
"Don't flatter me, even if you do, I'm still just a woman!"
"Tsk tsk, you define women, and you want to define me?" Niu Jiao Jie said lazily.
Qi Yuan was once again rendered speechless by her words, his face turning red.
"Sigh, you're just too uptight. If she had flirted with me like that, I'd directly sleep with her. I'm not good with words."
This guy's mouth was full of twisted nonsense.
Just then, suddenly, his expression changed slightly.
Ziyuan Xiaolu noticed Qi Yuan's shifting expression, her face grew serious, and she asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"My arch-enemy has arrived in the Principle Realm!"
"Arch-enemy? Who?" Ziyuan Xiaolu's expression tightened.
"I've already reached the Sixth Heaven, how did he get here?" Qi Yuan sighed, "Don't women have the ability to love naturally? I only owe her 300,000, and I'm not refusing to pay, she actually chased me to the Sixth Heaven, and spread rumors that I'm an irresponsible jerk."
Hearing this, Ziyuan Xiaolu felt relieved, covering her mouth with a smile, "So it's a creditor, always giving me a scare, how much do you owe?"
"Not much, just 300,000, sigh." Qi Yuan continued, "Indeed, if you want a woman to remember you for life, you can't be nice to her, you have to owe her money."
"300,000 Immortal Jade? Tsk tsk, if you owed me that much, I'd sleep on your bed every night!"
300,000 Immortal Jade was a significant amount for Ziyuan Xiaolu, and she couldn't afford to pay it back.
"Alright, I have to go find her, or she'll report me, and if it goes on my credit record, I'll become a deadbeat!"
"There's no mistake in this version!"
"Even though I don't need to travel by plane, the name 'deadbeat' is too unpleasant, it's not elegant and doesn't fit for my status."
After speaking, Qi Yuan's figure disappeared.
"What a boring day." Ziyuan Xiaolu lifted her wine glass and started drinking.
On the other side, Qi Yi crossed her arms, and started yelling at the sky.
Yu Mengxian's expression turned slightly awkward, but she didn't stop her.
This approach, though it seemed like a joke, might actually work.
Just then, an exasperated voice came from the air.
"Hey, I only owe you 300,000, why are you dragging me into this?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Mengxian's expression changed dramatically. Qi Yi's flushed face turned even redder.
In front of them, Qi Yuan stood tall and slender in his casual attire.
"Qi... Qi Yuan!" Qi Yi hadn't expected that by insulting Qi Yuan, he would actually appear.
"Paying respects to Senior!" Yu Mengxian beside her felt like she was in a dream, quickly bowing.
"You're buttering me up, you slandered me, damaged my reputation, and for the 300,000 you owe me, I'll repay you 299,990!"
Qi Yuan thought for a moment and decided to repay ten less.
After all, he couldn't repay too little.
There were too many cases of murder due to insufficient repayment of debts or dowries.
Qi Yi still wore a skintight outfit, with a layer of purple robes draped over her, and her pretty face was even more flushed. "I didn't mean to curse at you, I just wanted to..."
She quickly explained herself.
Qi Yuan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "You're not asking for money, are you?"
After all, he currently didn't have the money to pay back Star Arch, and if Qi Yi demanded repayment, he wouldn't be able to afford it, which would be quite embarrassing.
"Senior..." Yu Mengxian was about to say something.
Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out.
"I didn't expect your Heavenly Lord to be so affectionate towards you, even going as far as to personally visit my grandfather to plead on your behalf."
However, he's currently playing chess with my grandfather, so he won't be able to come for a while."
As the voice trailed off, a group of seven or eight people appeared.
Leading them was the arrogant Tuoba Lingyu.
She scanned Qi Yi as if inspecting merchandise.
But soon, her gaze shifted from Qi Yi to Qi Yuan.
"Your bloodline..." Her eyes widened, and a look of ecstatic joy appeared on her face. She took a deep breath, "So fragrant!"
She wore an expression of infatuation, as if she had discovered an unparalleled treasure.
Qi Yuan's eyes widened in surprise: "You're sexually harassing me!"
Qi Yuan felt that he still preferred gentle and reserved women.
He wanted to keep his distance from both Niu Jiao Sister and this forward woman.
"I thought your Fengling Sacred Land had one treasure, but I never expected there to be two!" Tuoba Lingyu stared at Qi Yuan as if she were admiring a peerless beauty.
These words made Qi Yuan feel embarrassed.
On their first meeting, she called him a treasure; would she want to see his legs next?
Upon seeing this, Yu Mengxian quickly transmitted a message to Qi Yuan: "Senior, this is the Mixed Blood Sect's..."
She informed Qi Yuan about the incident that had occurred earlier.
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's expression remained calm.
Not only was she a forward woman, but she was also involved in human trafficking.
He looked at Tuoba Lingyu with even more disdain.
"This is my sister, Little Beauty. Give me some face, and let this matter go!" Qi Yuan was currently trying to comprehend the Supreme Principle, so he needed to conceal his identity to avoid being discovered by Taohuang Palace.
Therefore, before comprehending the Supreme Principle, he had to maintain a low profile.
"Give you face... Hmph..." Tuoba Lingyu's mocking smile grew, "A mere Yin God of the Second Heaven, what face do you have?"
"You..." Qi Yuan really wanted to reveal his true identity.
But then he thought, since he was from the lower realm and only at the Purple Mansion stage, it might be better not to expose himself.
Tuoba Lingyu glanced at Yu Mengxian: "I'm taking these two with me. Don't interfere, or else... your days in Fengling Sacred Land won't be so pleasant."
The few Mythical Realm cultivators beside Tuoba Lingyu glared at Qi Yuan and the other two with ill intent.
"Hey, I can't afford to offend you with just one Immortal Jade. Also, since you've called me a treasure, treasures are priceless." Qi Yuan thought it was better to stay low-key, trying to resolve the issue through words and avoid physical conflict.
He also wanted to improve his communication skills; he couldn't lose every argument with Niu Jiao Sister.
"A single Immortal Jade... is an insult to you. Don't you understand? Could it be... you're an idiot!" Tuoba Lingyu looked at Qi Yuan with a face that seemed to say, "You're an idiot!"
In her eyes, speaking to Qi Yuan was like giving him face.
After all, the purpose of such people's existence was to be blood cattle.
"You..." Qi Yuan was getting anxious.
How could there be such a venomous person in this world!
He wasn't defenseless, nor was he a dog that could be stoned to death!
"How dare you dress so revealing, and even if you do, you show off three nipples. What's the meaning of this?
You've offended my eyes, die!"
Just then, a voice suddenly echoed through the air.
A Yangshen Celestial Sovereign appeared, giving Tuoba Lingyu a disdainful look before slapping her to death with a single palm.
The few Mythical Realm cultivators beside Tuoba Lingyu didn't even have time to react before they too were killed by that single palm strike.
This incident happened so suddenly.
Just as they were arguing, a Yangshen appeared and killed Tuoba Lingyu.
The power of the Yangshen was undeniable.
Killing a few ants was as easy as breathing.
The Yangshen's eyes turned, glancing at Qi Yuan, and he said with a pretentious tone: "I just happened to pass by, helping you all."
At that moment, a terrifying roar echoed from the heavens.
"How dare you! Who killed my granddaughter!"
A terrifying figure appeared in the Ultimate Reason Heaven, bloodthirsty and furious.
The entire world was filled with a thick, bloody aura.
That terrifying figure's gaze fell upon Qi Yuan's location.
It was the Mixed Blood Sect's Ancestor, the Divine Blood Sovereign!
Qi Yuan, upon seeing the figure, grew tense and quickly explained: "I didn't kill her, it has nothing to do with me. It was this Yangshen, I don't know him, and I don't know his name is Demon Eye!"
