She was not dumb.
As a genius of Fox Immortal Island, she was even considered absolutely intelligent. This mysterious Daoist Feng had saved her life and fended off a Fox Immortal Island expert. He had even mentioned a huge problem that was stirring in Fox Immortal Island! All of this was to help her, as well as Fox Immortal Island.
“Why am I helping you?” Qin Yun drank the wine and glanced at Qing Shuang. He said with a laugh, “Would you believe me that because of your impressive talent and your cultivation of sword arts which happen to use the same Yin Yang Dao as mine, I suddenly have the intention of taking you in as a disciple?”
Qing Shuang immediately showed a look of delight when she heard him. She plopped to her knees and said, “Greetings Master!”
The demons were more direct than humans.
With someone so powerful before her, she obviously had to cozy up to him!
“Haha, from this day forth, you are my disciple,” said Qin Yun with a laugh. He flipped his hand as a purple Dao talisman appeared in his palm. “Carry this Dao talisman with you. It can protect you.Even if a late-stage Skyimmortal expert were to attack you, it would still be able to fend them off for a moment.”
“Thank you.” Qing Shuang obediently accepted the gift bestowed by her master. She looked at the purple Dao talisman in delight. It could fend off late-stage Skyimmortal experts?
“Qing Shuang, you immediately accepted my suggestion of being my disciple. Aren’t you afraid… that your master is too weak?” asked Qin Yun.
“I wouldn’t dare say anything else, but I obtained the Yin Yang sword art by chance. After so many years of cultivation, no one on Fox Immortal Island has managed to guide me. Yet, with just a short demonstration from me, you were able to modify my sword art in several places, causing it to increase in strength,” said Qing Shuang. “Clearly, Master’s insights into the Yin Yang Dao sword arts are far higher than mine.”
“Yes, my Yin Yang Dao sword art has only recently reached the late-stage Skyimmortal realm,” said Qin Yun with a smile. “It should still be sufficient to teach you.”
“Late-stage Skyimmortal realm?” Qing Shuang was astounded.
The Dao talisman was a one-use item. For it to be able to fend off a late-stage Skyimmortal expert made it extremely valuable.
A true late-stage Skyimmortal expert was considered quite a powerhouse in a dominion. Many major sects had more than ten thousand Skyimmortals, but there would only be a hundred plus at the mid-stage Skyimmortal realm, with only one or two late-stage Skyimmortals! For instance, Fox Immortal Island had a long heritage, but only four had reached the mid-stage Skyimmortal realm. As for late-stage Skyimmortals? Fox Immortal Island did not dare offend them!
Late-stage Skyimmortals could be the sect master of any top sect in any Great World!
“Haha.” Qin Yun could not help but laugh when he saw his disciple’s astounded look.
“I didn’t lie. I only began studying the Yin Yang Great Dao after attaining a perfected Great Dao. Now, I’m not even at the half-step Golden Immortal realm when it comes to the Yin Yang Great Dao. It can only be considered a late-stage Skyimmortal realm,” thought Qin Yun.
He took in disciples because other than ridding evil to amass merit, he still needed to cultivate!
Now that he was focusing on the Yin Yang Great Dao, teaching a genius disciple the Dao of Yin Yang was also a form of honing and practice.
Of course, he had chosen Qing Shuang because her talents were sufficiently high. As a nine-tailed fox, it was indeed impressive for her to cultivate to the Skyimmortal realm in less than a hundred years. On the other hand, she had accrued a lot of merit! He had saved her and killed the black-robed Daoist because of her immense merit. He could tell at a glance what the fox immortal had undergone the past hundred years.
She was a kindhearted fox immortal and Qin Yun thought highly of cultivators who did good.
“Master, when will you start teaching me sword arts?” Qing Shuang asked immediately.
“Little fox, you sure are anxious,” said Qin Yun. “After we are done eating and drinking, we can set off. I can slowly teach you along the way.”
“Yes,” replied Qing Shuang.
…
Qin Yun led Qing Shuang as he continued traveling across the Wei Nation. As he taught her sword arts, they went everywhere.
On the second day, they arrived at a monastery.
“A perfectly fine monastery, but it is being occupied by evil while wreaking havoc to an area,” said Qin Yun coldly. By the side, Qing Shuang had slightly changed her looks into that of an ordinary azure-dressed girl. Her original looks were overly mesmerizing, to the point that she could cause a Skyfiend sovereign to turn infatuated with her. In fact, despite trying to keep her charm under wraps, she remained a young beauty. After all, as a nine-tailed fox, she was born beautiful.
Qin Yun was dressed like a scion with a sword by his waist.
“Master, this place receives a lot of incense donations. Although this fiend is up to diabolical deeds, countless mortals aren’t aware of the truth. They do not know that fiends have entrenched themselves in this monastery,” said Qing Shuang. She was a Skyimmortal after all and could tell that in the monastery’s backyard, which did not entertain devotees, there was an underground chamber filled with corpses that formed a pool of blood. Many mortal fiendish cultivators were cultivating in there.
There were only three at the Essence Soul realm. The rest were mortal fiendish cultivators, but they were enough to plague an area.
“Destroy!”
Qin Yun pointed his finger into the distance.
Invisible Sword Qi tore through the three fiendcelestials’ glabellas, killing them instantly. As for the Connate level fiendish cultivators, all of them were maimed of their Dharmic powers. Killing mortals was still too troublesome. Although Qin Yun could easily withstand the karma at his realm, there was no need to do so. Maiming them of their Dharmic powers resulted in lesser effects. Furthermore, maiming them was an even more terrifying punishment than death.
This was because there were a large number of devotees outside!
“Boom!” A more terrifying Sword Qi collapsed the entire monastery, revealing the underground chamber and the massive number of corpses and the blood pool.
“What’s happening?”
“What’s that?”
The monastery had numerous devotees. It was a Great World after all and most mortals cultivated. Although these devotees had yet to reach the Essence Soul realm, there were a few who had reached the Connate realm.
“There are so many corpses.”
“These fiends have been cultivating with a pool of blood? How many lives have they harmed?”
“There are fiendcelestials! Three of them, but they are all dead. The fiendish cultivators have all been maimed of their Dharmic powers!” The stronger devotees rapidly captured the fiendish cultivators, and in a rage, the devotees smashed these fiendish cultivators into meat pulp.
Although the Wei Nation served the Black Wind Fiend Sect, it only began with the incumbent sovereign.
The Wei Nation citizens still believed in Daoism or Buddhism. The Black Wind Fiend Sect would need a long time to fully penetrate the population.
“Let’s go,” said Qin Yun.
“Yes, Master,” replied Qing Shuang.
Qin Yun and Qing Shuang left on a cloud. While flying, Qin Yun frowned slightly into the distance.
“Master?” Qing Shuang was puzzled.
“Nothing.” Qin Yun did not elaborate as he sighed wistfully. “What a bunch of good-for-nothings! I’ve already informed them of Fox Immortal Island’s Clan Head’s background ahead of time, yet the clan head was still able to turn the tables on them! Fox Immortal Island has fractured into two!”
…
“Darn it. I was planning on slowly infiltrating them and only when I held sufficient powerful would I control all the Skyimmortals in Fox Immortal Island, making them my slaves. But my plans were brought ahead. More than half the Skyimmortals fled! I only managed to take control of a hundred Skyimmortals.” Fox Immortal Island’s Clan Head sat on a throne as a huge group of Skyimmortals stood beneath him.
A tied Skyimmortal was kneeling there and he was none other than “Uncle Lang’er.”
He was in deep despair at that moment.
“Clan Head, I’m willing to submit to you, please spare my life!” shouted Uncle Lang’er.
“Lang’er, how did you know that I cultivated in the Mental Demon lineage?” The clan head glared at him. “How do you know of so many secrets of mine?”
“It was a human Daoist named Daoist Feng! He saved Qing Shuang and told me about you,” said Lang’er hurriedly with intense desires to live on.
“Daoist Feng? He knows about me?” Fox Immortal Island Clan Head frowned.
…
Huifeng Great World.
In a study room.
A white-haired, white-robed elder with a kind amiable look sat there. He was flipping through large amounts of dockets. He was Patriarch Mental Demon who struck fear into the Daoists and Buddhists of the Three Realms. Although Patriarch Mental Demon had the strength of a pinnacle Great Dao, the threat he posed to the Daoists, Buddhists and various factions was no less than a perfected Great Dao.
He had been tasked by the Fiend Ancestor to seek out Qin Yun’s identity in the Huifeng Great World.
All sorts of intelligence was gathered in front of him.
“A mysterious man obliterated Bone Fiend Mountain in the Chun Nation borders?” Patriarch Mental Demon read the detailed report and nodded slightly. “He has strength which is at least the late-stage Skyimmortal realm. With such strength and a mysterious background, his modus operandi does resemble Qin Yun’s. Set it as B.”
“Square Immortal Island had a swordsman slay demons? Seems ordinary. Designate it as D.”
“A mysterious Daoist Feng killed a Black Wind Fiend Sect disciple and saved a nine-tailed fox. His strength is suspected to be at the mid-stage Skyimmortal realm. He even knew that Fox Immortal Island’s Clan Head was cultivating in the Mental Demon lineage? He even knows which Skyimmortals were under control? To know that much, it’s either a coincidence or a mighty figure. Designate it as B.”
Patriarch Mental Demon flipped through all sorts of intelligence reports gathered from all across the Huifeng Great World.
“Now, there are nine targets that are designated B! There are twenty-eight Cs and 1003 Ds. That Sword Immortal Qin might be among them.” Patriarch Mental Demon was very collected and very patient.
