Qin Xiuyang scrutinized Song Luo for a long time before coldly withdrawing his gaze. No matter who this person was, he was no match for him.

Song Luo scoffed. Qin Xiuyang was still so arrogant. Well, as the number one genius of Qingyang Continent and the number one among his peers, how could he not be a little proud?

"They're out! They're out!"

"Senior Brother Qin, I'm sorry."

Although we know that Qin Xiuyang is the most likely candidate to obtain this secret realm's inheritance, what if...?

Nothing in the cultivation world is absolutely true.

So the moment the treasure flew out, almost half of the people acted simultaneously.

Qin Xiuyang didn't move, and when he noticed that Song Luo didn't move either, he couldn't help but frown. Wasn't this person here for the secret treasure?

"Senior Brother!" The people from Tianyuan Sect couldn't help but urge him, fearing that if Qin Xiuyang was too slow, someone else would snatch the inheritance first.

Finally, Qin Xiuyang made a move. Even without drawing his sword, these cultivators couldn't last more than three rounds against him.

Song Luo's eyes flickered. He had to admit that Qin Xiuyang was indeed amazing and had not wasted the talent bestowed upon him by heaven.

Just when everyone was disappointed and thought that the treasure was going to be taken away by Qin Xiuyang, Song Luo made his move.

His moves were incredibly fast, so fast that other cultivators almost thought he could fight Qin Xiuyang to a draw. However, Song Luo knew that he had only gained the advantage of striking first.

Qin Xiuyang quickly realized what was happening and finally became serious, looking at Song Luo with a deep gaze: "You are the first person to force me to draw my sword when I was only at the Golden Core stage."

"Yeah?"

Song Luo also wielded a sword, showing no fear whatsoever: "I have long admired the name of Master Qin of the Tianyuan Sect. Please enlighten me."

Qin Xiuyang recognized the voice, but couldn't place it.

However, this is not his fault. After all, in his mind and the other Tianyuan Sect members' minds, the Qin Chi of the past was already dead. And even if he wasn't dead, how could a half-demon have cultivated to this level?

Qin Xiuyang's swordplay was extremely fierce, possessing the power to break through all laws with a single sword strike, while Song Luo's was cunning; his swordsmanship was formless and changed extremely quickly.

This was the first time Qin Xiuyang had encountered such an opponent, and for a time they fought back and forth so fiercely that it was impossible to tell who would win.

The remaining cultivators clicked their tongues in amazement: "Where did this genius come from? We've never heard of him before."

"To actually fight Qin Xiuyang to a draw, impressive!"

"Judging from his age, he's about the same as Qin Xiuyang. I wonder if the title of number one genius needs to be rewritten."

They were all very excited. They were usually overwhelmed by Qin Xiuyang and now there was no hope of catching up. But it was still nice to have someone come and dampen Qin Xiuyang's spirits.

The two disciples from Tianyuan Sect who came with them were extremely worried. Their Tianyuan Sect was the number one sect, how could their senior brother lose?

The key point is, if our senior brother loses, wouldn't they lose out on the inheritance of this secret realm?

"Senior brother, defeat him quickly!"

"Senior brother, the Sword Master is still waiting for us to return."

Upon hearing his master's name, Qin Xiuyang's expression hardened, and his swordplay suddenly changed.

"Although you are very good, you are still no match for me."

Song Luo gritted his teeth; the gap between him and Qin Xiuyang was still too great.

Remembering his mother's instructions, he stopped trying to fight: "I have learned my lesson today. Master Qin is indeed exceptionally talented. I admit defeat and will come again next time. Farewell."

After saying that, Song Luo left the secret realm with the little wolf cub. He had many treasures and didn't care about the inheritance of a human. He came here today only to test his skills by sparring with Qin Xiuyang.

Qin Xiuyang did not give chase. Firstly, he did not sense any killing intent, and secondly, he had not yet obtained the inheritance of the secret realm.

Seeing Song Luo admit defeat and leave, the other cultivators looked disappointed. They had originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but now who could stop Qin Xiuyang?

"Go and investigate this person from earlier." Qin Xiuyang casually tossed a storage bag to the Tianyuan Sect disciples. The two disciples happily accepted it, but when they opened it, they were not as surprised as they had imagined.

Qin Xiuyang actually gave quite a lot, but not many of them were high-quality. He thought he could get a great deal, but it seems that he only got a little more than he did when he went out to gain experience.

Although training on your own will be more dangerous, at least you won't have to be at the mercy of others!

The two couldn't help but think to themselves, no wonder they got the chance to come out this time, it turns out that their senior brother didn't want to follow them anymore.

Having taken someone's things, they naturally had to do things for them, but how could they know anything about that person? They hadn't even met him, only that his surname was Song. How could they possibly investigate? The two were perplexed.

After Song Luo left, he sped up his journey. Even during his rare moments of rest, he did not neglect his cultivation. Now that he knew where the gap between him and Qin Xiuyang lay, how could he slack off?

Although he still had some trump cards up his sleeve, he was certain that Qin Xiuyang also had some killer moves up his sleeve.

Mother, don't worry, your son will definitely avenge you. Although Qin Xiuyang didn't do anything back then, he was Qin Taiming's most valued disciple.

Only by defeating Qin Xiuyang can we extinguish Qin Taiming's ambition.

Moreover, if they couldn't even defeat Qin Xiuyang, how could they take Qin Taiming's life?

The Tianyuan Sect also quickly learned of Song Luo's existence, and they were shocked and furious. Why did the number one sect not know anything about this cultivation genius who suddenly appeared?

"So what if he knows? No matter what, he's still no match for Xiu Yang," Qin Taiming said dismissively.

The sect leader sighed slightly: "That's not entirely true. It was a mistake that we didn't have all the information about the Qingyang Continent."

"No matter how many mistakes we make, no one can surpass Xiu Yang. As long as Xiu Yang and I are here, no one can shake the position of Tianyuan Sect," Qin Taiming said with great domineering confidence.

The sect leader paused, feeling a sense of unease despite the fact that what he said was not wrong.

Yes, having a Sword Master like yourself and an heir like Qin Xiuyang in the sect certainly has a deterrent effect on other sects, but does that mean that the development of a sect is unimportant in terms of other contributions?

The sect leader felt a surge of displeasure as he thought about how he and his son had devoted themselves to the sect over the years, yet still couldn't compare to the status of Qin Taiming and Qin Xiuyang in the hearts of the disciples.

Without his and his son's protection, could Qin Taiming and Qin Xiuyang have cultivated so peacefully? And obtained so many resources so easily? It's as if the sect relies solely on the two of you for protection.

Despite his inner complaints, the sect leader understood that without these two, Tianyuan Sect would not be known as the number one sect, and it would not be as prosperous as it is now.

So he could only suppress his displeasure and continue to fawn over Qin Taiming.

"I've heard that some secret treasures and spiritual herbs will appear in the Ice Plains, and all the major sects have already gone there. Junior brother, do you and your nephew want to go?"

"Let's talk about it when Xiuyang comes back."

The sect leader was speechless. Not only could he not get angry, but he could only coax her: "Then it's up to you. I'll send the other disciples to take the lead and check it out first."
