Luo Xin'er is dead.
Her body transformed into specks of light and disappeared into the rain.
She felt resentful, regretful, and unable to let go.
She had a wonderful life ahead of her, with loving teachers and elders, and she thought she had found the man she could love for a lifetime. But now, everything is gone.
It was ruined by a conspiracy that may have started from the very first encounter.
Ring ring!
A crisp bell rang out.
As Luo Xin'er passed away, a golden bell floated out from her body.
The small bell swayed gently in the rain, emitting a soft glow.
Luo Xin'er escaped from those Nascent Soul cultivators and has survived until now thanks to this spiritual treasure.
This magical treasure was given to her by the Qin Beast.
"A magical treasure! It's that magical treasure!"
The people standing in the void shouted.
Many people's eyes revealed deep desire and greed.
The value of spiritual treasures is such that even some Nascent Soul Realm experts do not possess them.
Once they obtain a spiritual treasure, not only will their combat power be greatly enhanced, but the spiritual patterns and Daoist principles contained within the spiritual treasure will also greatly benefit their cultivation.
Buzz!
Qin Shou reached out his large hand and grasped the bell. The bell trembled slightly, then gradually calmed down and lay peacefully in Qin Shou's hand.
"Who are you, and why are you getting involved in this mess?"
"Hmph, I bet they're here for this magical treasure too."
"Good, hand over the magical treasure, or don't blame us for being impolite."
Cold shouts echoed across the wasteland. They had been chasing this woman for so long for this magical treasure, and now it had been intercepted by someone who appeared out of nowhere. How could they not be angry?
Of course, at this time, some individual cultivators began to speculate in their minds. With a cautious attitude, they retreated dozens of miles away, forming a circle to surround the Qin beast.
Qin Shou ignored all of this, looked down at the child on the ground, wiped the rain and blood off her face with his sleeve, and then fed her a pill.
The elixir is of the sixth grade; curing this mere Nascent Soul poison is a matter of minutes.
Soon the little girl's body began to turn rosy, and she was surrounded by a white light, with a rich medicinal fragrance wafting through the rain.
"This is a pill that surpasses even the fourth grade!?"
Some people are uncertain about the way.
Then, one of the alchemists exclaimed, "Wait, this is a sixth-grade pill! This is a sixth-grade profound pill that only a Void Realm cultivator can refine!!"
"What! You're saying he's at the Void Realm?!"
"Impossible! We have already thoroughly investigated the Luoshui Sect's background. Their strongest member was only Luo Lingsu, a mere second-level Nascent Soul cultivator, but she has already been killed by those powerful figures. Moreover, in this Yunzhou region, apart from the Vermilion Bird Dynasty and the Sword Ancestor of Heavenly Sword City, I have never heard of any other powerful figures like her."
"But this is indeed a sixth-grade pill!"
"Damn it, fortune favors the bold! Maybe this guy just stumbled upon a sixth-grade pill. Let's all attack together and kill him!"
The crowd chattered amongst themselves, and finally, a burly man raised his broadsword, a dazzling sword intent bursting forth from its blade. He shouted, "Kill together!" But the next moment, he ignited his divine soul, transforming into a streak of blood and soaring towards the far horizon.
“............”
The crowd was stunned for a moment, then immediately began to curse and swear:
"Damn it, that knife-wielding thug always shouts the loudest when fighting, but he's the fastest when he runs away!"
"Hmph, he's nothing but a cowardly coward. I really don't know how he cultivated to the same level as us..."
"that is. "
Many people scoffed dismissively.
However, some people couldn't see the true strength of the Qin beast and gave up.
Some people were unwilling to give up, thinking that the Qin beast might be all show and no substance. They observed from a distance, unwilling to leave, thinking it wouldn't be too late to go when they realized something was wrong.
Of course, this world is never short of "brave" people and those who do not believe in evil. Several Nascent Soul cultivators each summoned their magic weapons and unleashed beams of multicolored light to attack the Qin Beast from a distance, wanting to test its strength.
Buzz!
Qin Shou picked up the little girl, grabbed the unconscious Nine Yang Saint, and took a step forward without even raising his head.
With this one step, heaven and earth collapsed, the void resonated, and the power of the Void swept across the sky and the earth. In an instant, all the enemies standing in the void, whether near or far, were reduced to ashes and vanished without a trace. They didn't even have time to make a dying expression.
Qin Beast's figure disappeared from the spot as he took that step.
........
Yunzhou, Luoshui Zong.
A rift opened in the void, and the Qin Beast slowly emerged from it.
This place has been reduced to scorched earth. The torrential rain has covered the area for thousands of miles, countless mountain peaks have collapsed, and lush forests have turned to ashes.
Once upon a time, this place was dotted with dozens of peaks, with clear waters and lush mountains, brimming with spiritual energy. Spiritual birds frolicked in the clouds, and beasts practiced breathing exercises in the mountains. The population was prosperous, and the sects were powerful. Now, all of this has turned into the ashes of history.
"Hehe, brothers, the Luoshui Sect has a history of over a thousand years, and its glory reached its zenith in the last hundred years. Rumor has it that the sect possessed countless treasures. Now that it's been destroyed, those precious spiritual treasures and rare gems have been divided up by those powerful figures. But if we thoroughly loot, we can at least get a share."
"Haha, big brother, I've found a second-grade spiritual herb!"
"Holy crap, bro, I dug up a top-tier magic artifact here!"
“............”
Amidst the scorched earth of the mountains, figures of cultivators moved about busily scavenging the ruins.
The Luoshui Clan is a large and powerful family. The resources that Qin Shou once gave them were equivalent to those of dozens of other sects.
Among them, many spiritual treasures and magical artifacts were also given.
At this moment, Qin Shou felt a pang of discomfort in his heart, a sudden tightness in his chest.
It was a well-intentioned act, but it may have brought them misfortune.
Who is right and who is wrong, and how exactly do we determine right from wrong?
"You bastards, get out of the territory of my Luoshui Sect!"
As the rain poured down, a solitary figure staggered to her feet from the ruins. Her face was covered in blood, she wore the robes of the Luoshui Sect, and held a broken longsword in her hand, angrily pointing it at the invading enemy.
She was a survivor of this sect. Perhaps she had been lying under the ruins, waiting for these people to leave so she could crawl out and find a place to live in anonymity, where she might be able to survive.
But women also have pride; they would rather die a resolute death than live a wretched life.
The dignity of a sect must not be disrespected.
"Hey, there's still one alive here!"
A teasing voice rang out, which then drew laughter from many people.
"Hmph, you worthless stray dogs, instead of lying under the ruins, you dare to stand up and swing your blades at us. You're utterly foolishly cute."
"Haha, that's right, second brother, go and kill her."
"Alright, brother, but it's a bit of a pity. Judging from this woman's figure, if she hadn't been disfigured, she might have been a beauty."
A long-faced young man stepped forward, holding a long black sword. He leaped high into the air, the sword hanging down, and slashed out with a blood-red crescent moon towards the girl.
This strike was ruthless and merciless, yet extremely powerful.
"Those who offend my sect will be killed without mercy!"
The girl held the broken sword, shouting angrily, her face showing no fear, only determination.
Even if we are exhausted, we must fight to the death.
However, after only two rounds, she was cleaved to the ground by a single blow, blood flowing continuously from her chest.
"Hehehe, ugly woman, die!"
The long-faced youth sneered and slashed his sword at the girl's neck.
However, just as the long sword approached the girl's face, it suddenly vanished, turning into dust and dissipating into the air.
"this....... "
Before the long-faced youth could even be surprised, his entire body suddenly became fragmented, and then a cold wind blew by, turning him into ashes that drifted on the scorched earth.
"Who goes there!"
The long-faced youth and his group shouted angrily, scanning their surroundings warily.
Rumble!
However, at that moment, the sky shattered, and countless purple lightning bolts fell from the sky, splitting into thousands of lightning snakes that struck the territory of the Luoshui Sect.
"ah........ "
"Ugh........."
One by one, bodies turned to ashes, their last moments spent only uttering mournful cries.
For a moment, the entire Luoshui Sect seemed to be under a lightning tribulation, a truly terrifying sight.
In this sea of lightning, the Qin beast strolled leisurely, like a death god who reigns over life, bringing death back to the shadows.
"What happened here? I want to know the whole story."
The Qin beast appeared beside the girl, gazing at her with gentle eyes and using its spiritual power to heal her wounds.
"I...I don't know."
The girl shook her head, seemingly still in shock. Then, she saw the little girl in Qin Shou's arms and exclaimed, "Young Master!"
"Senior, may I ask where the Holy Maiden is?"
The girl mustered her courage and asked the beast Qin.
"She...is dead."
Qin Shou replied.
"The saintess... is dead."
For a moment, the girl seemed to be in a daze, muttering to herself over and over again.
"The sect leader is dead, the holy maiden is dead, the Luoshui Sect... is gone."
She stumbled and fell to the ground.
In an instant, she felt as if she had lost all her faith.
This is her home. She's lived on this mountain since she can remember. Through the changing seasons, everything was fine. Why did it suddenly turn out like this?
She covered her face and cried.
When faith collapses, the existence of the physical body is merely proof that people can grieve.
Qin Shou raised his hand and pressed it against the girl's forehead. Then, several beams of golden light surged into the girl's mind, and he handed her a storage ring.
"I've imprinted several cultivation techniques in your mind, and these are your future cultivation resources."
Remember this: as long as one is alive, there is hope.
Under the curtain of rain, the chill washed away all tenderness, leaving only a despairing numbness and desolation.
Qin Shou glanced at the girl whose divine light was gradually fading, paused, and said, "If you want revenge, then live well."
Perhaps, hatred is also a powerful motivation to live.
The girl's resilience, persistence, and fearlessness impressed Qin Shou, and he felt a deep affection for her.
Love extends to everything connected to the house; this Luoshui Sect saved his disciple's life, how should he repay them in the future?
Qin Shou looked at the little girl in his arms. His leisurely mood on the mountain suddenly turned into one of worry.
In the end, it all turned into a deep sigh.
"well...... "
"In the world of cultivation, the situation is unpredictable and treacherous; anything can happen."
Qin Shou looked up at the falling rain, then raised his hand and condensed a sword intent, leaving it within the body of the last remaining female disciple.
"Go. I'll randomly send you somewhere. Your life from now on is your own choice."
Qin Shou waved his hand, and the Five Elements Laws constructed a halo that enveloped the girl. Then, he waved his hand again, tearing a hole in the void and sending her to a place that even Qin Shou himself did not know.
However, that place is definitely far away from the Luoshui Sect.
Looking around, Qin Shou saw that under the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Technique, the area within a radius of three thousand miles was submerged by lightning, making the Luoshui Sect seem like a giant tomb.
"Perhaps, centuries later, new life will be born beneath the thunder."
Qin Shou's eyes flashed, and then he disappeared from the spot, carrying the little girl in his arms and the Nine Yang Saint Child in his hand.
When he reappeared, it was on a plaza atop a mountain with beautiful peaks.
This place is full of peaks and lush spiritual energy, forming a stark contrast to the Luoshui Sect we just visited.
"Who dares to trespass on my sect's territory!"
A furious shout rang out.
Then several powerful figures flew over.
They stood warily in confrontation with the Qin beast.
Later, upon seeing the Nine Yang Holy Son that Qin Shou was carrying, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy Son!"
"Who exactly are you, and why have you captured my Holy Sect's Holy Son?"
An old man dressed in a golden robe stepped forward and questioned Qin Shou.
"I didn't arrest him, I saved him."
Qin Shou said something and tossed the Nine Yang Saint Child in his hand over.
A figure suddenly appeared behind the old man in the golden robe, carefully catching the Nine Yang Saint Son. Then, the figure quickly retreated, used his spiritual sense to check the Nine Yang Saint Son's injuries, and nodded to the crowd.
"Phew~"
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this child isn't very bright, he has exceptional talent for cultivation. Not long ago, at the age of 180, he entered the Nascent Soul Realm, shocking the sect for a long time. He is the future hope of the sect, and nothing can happen to him.
"Many thanks, fellow Daoist, for saving my sect's holy son's life."
The old man in golden robes cupped his hands in greeting to Qin Shou and said, "Friend, could you please tell me the specifics?"
"That's not important. I'm here to find out what happened at the Luoshui Sect."
Qin Shou held the little girl in his arms with one hand and put the other behind his back, and said calmly.
Within the Nine Yang Holy Sect, an elder with a fiery temper, upon seeing this, immediately stepped forward and roared:
"Hmph, the matter of my sect's Holy Son hasn't been clarified yet. Who knows if you have other intentions towards him? I think you'd better clarify things first."
Snap!
A large palm print resounded in the void, and the hot-tempered elder was immediately sent flying.
In an instant, the scene quieted down considerably.
Upon seeing this, the golden-robed elder was immediately shaken... This person's cultivation level was higher than his own!
"Big brother, he hit me! Let's gang up on him!"
The hot-tempered elder said angrily.
"Sixth Brother, shut up!"
The old man in the golden robe turned around and shouted angrily at the hot-tempered elder.
Fiery Elder: .....What happened to the promise that if one of us is bullied, we brothers will all stand up for him...? I'm getting beaten up in my own backyard!
"Fellow Daoist..."
The old man in the golden robe was about to speak.
Qin Shou then said in a cold voice:
"I don't want to repeat myself. Let your sect leader come out and answer my questions."
Boom!
The moment the words left his mouth, the protective array surrounding the Nine Yang Holy Sect shattered.
o mouth o! "Fuck!"
The hot-tempered elder immediately widened his eyes, then covered his mouth and quickly took a few steps back.
The movements were very smooth.
If it weren't for his bad mood and the inappropriate setting, Qin Shou would have laughed a few times upon seeing this.
The other elders were also shocked by Qin Shou's move.
Damn it, this mountain-protecting formation is incredibly valuable, costing the sect tens of millions of spirit stones to maintain every year.
