Qin Chu was silent. His strength at the Spirit Yuan Realm was indeed not enough. He also couldn't understand what kind of deep hatred existed back then that the other party wanted to eradicate them completely.
From the scene deduced by Mo Daozi, Qin Chu could tell that the black-clothed figures besieging the green-robed man and the white-shirted woman primarily targeted him, who was in swaddling clothes.
The facts were also very clear: after the swaddling clothes were pierced, the black-clothed figures' attacks weakened. Although they were killed by the white-shirted woman, their attack posture did indeed change. Initially, they attacked with full force, but later they tried to retreat and were killed by the white-shirted woman during their retreat.
Thinking of the tragic fate of the green-robed man and the white-shirted woman, Qin Chu felt a faint ache in his heart. At this moment, his chest began to burn again.
Feeling incredibly uncomfortable, Qin Chu couldn't sit still and fell down, his body hunched.
"Qin Chu, what's wrong with you? Why are you so hot!" Qian Lingwu came to Qin Chu's side, helped him up, and felt that something was wrong when she held him.
"Quick, get some cold water and splash me! It's too hot!" Qin Chu shouted to Qian Lingwu.
Qian Lingwu let go of Qin Chu and went to fetch water. She was a bit bewildered now, not knowing what was happening to Qin Chu.
When Qian Lingwu returned with two buckets of water, smoke was already rising from Qin Chu's body in the room, and the clothes over his chest area had started to burn.
Qian Lingwu poured the buckets of water over Qin Chu. The water, when poured on Qin Chu, was like water on a hot iron plate, turning into a vast expanse of steam.
Feeling a little better, Qin Chu ran into the courtyard, ignoring everything, and jumped directly into the large vat in the courtyard. Only then did the situation stabilize.
When his body was no longer hot, Qin Chu climbed out of the water vat.
After tearing off his tattered clothes, Qin Chu put on a clean set of robes. Fortunately, his pants were fine; otherwise, he would have been utterly embarrassed.
"Qin Chu, what exactly is going on with you?" Qian Lingwu asked, looking at Qin Chu.
"This is the second time this has happened recently. If my body wasn't a bit stronger, it would have burned me to death," Qin Chu said.
"Could it be because of the Sacred Blood?" Qian Lingwu asked, looking at Qin Chu.
After a moment of hesitation, Qin Chu nodded. He also felt it was a problem with the Sacred Blood, because every time this situation occurred, it started from his chest, where the Sacred Blood was located.
"The problem with the Sacred Blood, outsiders don't know what's going on. Perhaps only your Family knows. It seems that your search for your origins is urgent!" Qian Lingwu realized the seriousness of the problem.
Qin Chu nodded, "Later, I'll refine some cold-attributed Medicinal Pills, just in case."
"I'll help you find a way to get the herbs," Qian Lingwu said.
"Then I thank you in advance," Qin Chu said.
Telling Qin Chu to wait for her, Qian Lingwu left the courtyard and returned half an hour later.
"Where did you go?" By this time, Qin Chu's condition had recovered, as if nothing had happened.
Qian Lingwu sat down, "The Qian Dynasty has troops stationed outside Tianxiang Town. I arranged for someone to take my token and find cold-attributed medicinal herbs for you."
"You've worked hard," Qin Chu said.
"There's no need to be so polite between us," Qian Lingwu said with a smile.
Looking at Qian Lingwu's smiling face, Qin Chu was a little dazed. Qian Lingwu possessed two kinds of temperaments: one was a cold beauty that made people dare not approach casually; the other was gentle, with a smile like a spring breeze in March, very warming to the heart.
"What are you looking at? Didn't your Family tell you not to look at women like that casually… I'm sorry!" Qian Lingwu's words became a bit awkward halfway through, and her tone shifted from scolding to apology, because Family was a pain in Qin Chu's heart; he simply had no Family to educate him.
"It's alright, I'll be more careful in the future, so others don't say I lack upbringing. But truthfully, the old man taught me a lot about how to be a person and how to do things. I was just distracted earlier, which led to my impoliteness," Qin Chu said.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with wanting to look at beautiful things. How did this turn into me praising myself? You really didn't do anything wrong!" Qian Lingwu said with a smile. She wanted to comfort Qin Chu because she knew he had a difficult life, and furthermore, from Qin Chu's life experiences in the past two years, he was very principled in his conduct and very ambitious, qualities that some large Families couldn't even Cultivate.
After chatting for a while, Qian Lingwu left, mainly because night was falling, and it wasn't appropriate for her to stay in Qin Chu's room. After all, the situation was different now than when they were on Qingzhu Peak. On Qingzhu Peak, there were only her and Qin Chu, but now, not far from Qin Chu's room, lived Mo Daozi and Ling Yunzi.
Mo Daozi and Ling Yunzi were drinking tea and chatting.
"Senior Brother, Qian Lingtian's move is quite ruthless. He directly made them fight among themselves first, which will cause significant damage to their strength," Ling Yunzi said.
"That guy is indeed capable of enduring. Who would have thought that the strongest person in this region would be the pampered Qian Emperor? Playing the pig to eat the tiger is always an effective strategy, because no one can think of it. Just like this time, the three great Sects wouldn't have thought that the newly appeared male cultivator at the Sixth-level King Realm would be from the Qian Dynasty. The three great Sects can't help but fall into the trap," Mo Daozi said.
Ling Yunzi nodded; he agreed on this point. Qian Lingtian's methods were indeed brilliant.
"Let them fight! Let them battle for a while. When their strength is almost depleted, we and the Qian Dynasty will act together. Driving out the forces of Southern Barren State and Southern Departure State will not be a problem. The key is what comes next. If the forces of Southern Barren State and Southern Departure State cannot swallow this insult and decide to fight together, it will be very troublesome," Mo Daozi said.
"Just troublesome, no crisis?" Ling Yunzi asked, looking at Mo Daozi.
"This is a calamity, but there are variables within it. The specific variables cannot be deduced, but the Azure Cloud Sect will not be annihilated; this I, your Senior Brother, can confirm. Moreover, our Azure Cloud Sect's fortune is in a rising state," Mo Daozi said.
"That's good to hear," Ling Yunzi breathed a sigh of relief. He had always worried that this major conflict would threaten the Legacy of the Azure Cloud Sect.
"Actually, ever since the Azure King's Token returned to the Sect, and the Sect's grand formation was enhanced, the situation of our Azure Cloud Sect changed," Mo Daozi said.
Qin Chu spent every day Cultivating in his room. Sometimes, he would spar with Qian Lingwu. Qin Chu practiced the Thousand Wave Sword, while Qian Lingwu looked for flaws in her spear techniques. The small courtyard was quite secluded and wouldn't be discovered by others.
On this day, just as Qin Chu and Qian Lingwu finished their Cultivation, a man wearing a black robe embroidered with a golden landscape pattern arrived in the small courtyard. It was Qian Lingtian.
"Imperial Brother, what's the situation now?" Qian Lingwu asked, looking at Qian Lingtian.
"Everything is going smoothly. The three Sects are fighting fiercely. The King Realm Cultivators from the Cold Star Imperial Dynasty and the Blood Blade Sect have all arrived. They even warned Imperial Brother, telling him not to get involved in this matter, or else they would kill him. Imperial Brother was so scared his hands were trembling," Qian Lingtian said after sitting down.
Despicable! Truly despicable, this was Qin Chu's evaluation of Qian Lingtian. Afraid? Would he be afraid?
