“Junior Brother Qin, do not provoke Qian Qing. Not only is he very strong himself, but he also has complex connections behind him. Deputy Sect Master Su Shanhe and the Sect Master will both protect him. Furthermore, he has the Qian Dynasty behind him. The Qian Dynasty's power is very strong, arguably surpassing any Sect. They tolerate the existence of the major Sects and have not made a move because they are worried that the major Sects might unite and shake their imperial power,” Liu Xue said to Qin Chu.
Qin Chu frowned, “Just because he has a good background, no one can touch him? I am not afraid. If the Qian Dynasty retaliates, I will just hide for a while, and when I have the strength, I will deal with them.”
“It's not that he can't be touched. When we have the strength, when our strength surpasses his, we can quietly kill him. The Qian Dynasty will want to retaliate, but they won't be able to find anyone,” Liu Xue said.
Hearing Liu Xue's words, Qin Chu smiled, “I didn't expect Senior Sister Liu to be quite resourceful.”
“This is all because I'm worried you'll act recklessly. I really hope he dies! You have no idea how miserable my three Junior Sisters were. Liu Nan and the others were Qian Qing's people,” Liu Xue's face was originally smiling, but when she mentioned Liu Nan, a murderous intent appeared on her face.
“I'm sorry!” Qin Chu sighed. He knew that the misfortune that befell the female Disciples of Qianluo Peak was somewhat related to him. Liu Nan and the others damaging their Cultivation to enter the Qingwang Ancient Ruins was, in the end, still because they wanted to deal with him.
“You don't need to apologize. You dealt with those people, and they will be as grateful as I am. You should Cultivate!” Liu Xue stood up and left. Mentioning her Junior Sisters made her feel sad, and she didn't want her emotions to affect Qin Chu.
Watching Liu Xue leave, Qin Chu felt a bit helpless. How could he not feel Liu Xue's low spirits? He felt that human life was very fragile; people who were lively and active just a while ago could be gone in an instant.
After thinking for a while, Qin Chu began to meditate and Cultivate Origin Qi. He did not want to become a stepping stone for others' rise in this dog-eat-dog world.
After another half a month of Cultivating, Qin Chu's Cultivation advanced one level, reaching the fifth level of the True Yuan Realm. This strength was considered mid-tier even among Inner Sect Disciples.
On this day, as Qin Chu was Cultivating his sword techniques, Bai Yu came to call him, “Things are not good. The Blood Saber Sect is causing trouble again. Their forces have come directly to Qingzhu Peak, and they are already at the main plaza of Qingzhu Peak. Additionally, the Wolf King Hall's forces have also appeared; they came with the Blood Saber Sect.”
Qin Chu exhaled, “The tree desires tranquility, but the wind will not cease. This time, they've set their sights on Qingzhu Peak.”
After tidying his robes, Qin Chu, along with Bai Yu, Lin Zheng, Er Pang, and others, arrived at the plaza in front of the Qingzhu Peak main hall.
At this time, there were already many people in the Qingzhu Peak plaza. Facing the main hall were the Qingzhu Peak members led by Luo Zhen, and on the side were forces from Qingyan Peak and Qianluo Peak. Lin Yi, Lei Yin, and others had all arrived.
Qin Chu led the people from the Utility Courtyard to an area on the side of the Qingzhu Peak contingent.
Normally, Utility Disciples would not be qualified to participate in such a major event and would have been driven away long ago, but this time was different. The Qingzhu Peak members made way for Qin Chu and the others, giving them an area.
“Trash Utility Disciple!” Su Xueyi looked at Qin Chu. She had seen him as soon as he appeared.
“Who's trash? If he's trash, then how did your elite Disciples die? Are they even worse than trash?” Zheng Qiu, an Inner Sect Disciple of Qingzhu Peak, shouted. He recognized Qin Chu, and naturally, he was unwilling to let the Blood Saber Sect insult him.
“Shut up! Do you have a right to speak? Do you have the courage to come out and fight!” Su Xueyi was very displeased that Zheng Qiu had interrupted her.
As Zheng Qiu was about to step forward, Qin Chu blocked him with his arm, “They are here for me. I will handle it! Matters that a few Utility Disciples can resolve do not require Outer Sect Disciples or Inner Sect Disciples to act.”
After speaking, Qin Chu walked to the front of the Qingzhu Peak contingent, his eyes fixed on Su Xueyi and the others. Since the opponents had come to their doorstep, he naturally would not avoid the fight.
“Did you kill my Blood Saber Sect's Disciples?” A young man in a blood-colored robe walked out from behind Su Xueyi.
“What if I did? Can only your Blood Saber Sect come here to kill people, and Qingyun Sect Disciples cannot kill people? You are an egg!” Qin Chu looked at the man in front of him, his eyes filled with displeasure, because the other party was too arrogant.
Whoosh!
The man in the blood-colored robe drew his battle saber.
“I don't know where you get your arrogant confidence from. State your name!” Seeing the opponent directly reveal his weapon, Qin Chu laughed, a laugh of exasperation. The opponent's sense of superiority was too strong; they were acting as if they were in their own home at Qingyun Sect, completely looking down on everyone.
It wasn't just Qin Chu who was angry; many Qingyun Sect Disciples were also angry, because the Blood Saber Sect was too arrogant and didn't regard the Qingyun Sect members at all.
“Remember, my name is Luo Zhan.” Luo Zhan swung the battle saber in his hand and slashed towards Qin Chu. His purpose in coming to Qingyun Sect with Su Xueyi was to kill people.
Qin Chu's right hand swept behind him, and the Azure Spirit Sword appeared in his hand. He thrust it out to meet Luo Zhan's battle saber.
After the sword glow and saber aura collided, Qin Chu's Azure Spirit Sword struck Luo Zhan's battle saber.
After a crisp sound, Qin Chu retreated two steps. Similarly, Luo Zhan also retreated a few steps. He was at the ninth level of the True Yuan Realm, four levels higher than Qin Chu, but Qin Chu's strength was too great. Not only did it bridge the gap, but he even had an advantage, directly repelling him.
After retreating a few steps, Luo Zhan's eyes showed anger and confusion. Anger because he was actually repelled; confusion because he didn't understand where Qin Chu got such great strength.
Humans are the spirits of all things, with high spiritual and Comprehension Ability, but relatively, their bodies are much weaker than Yao Beasts. Luo Zhan being repelled by Qin Chu's sword felt like being struck by a Yao Beast's impact on his battle saber.
After repelling Luo Zhan, Qin Chu rushed forward, swinging the Azure Spirit Sword to slash at Luo Zhan.
Luo Zhan swung his saber to meet the attack. Qin Chu's strength was great, but his Origin Qi was profound, giving him an Origin Qi advantage.
The battle began fiercely on the plaza in front of the Qingzhu Peak main hall, and at this moment, Su Shanhe and Zhang Ji arrived late with the main peak's forces.
Bai Yu looked at Zheng Qiu, “Senior Brother Zheng, did the Blood Saber Sect just enter our Qingyun Sect just like that?”
In fact, this was not just Bai Yu's confusion; many Qingyun Sect Disciples did not understand. Did the Blood Saber Sect just enter Qingyun Sect so casually? And what about those Wolf King Hall members wearing clothes with wolf totems?
“They came to Qingyun Sect to hold a challenge between Disciples, not to attack the mountain gate. So, we either don't accept the challenge and concede, or we accept it. If we don't accept the challenge, it means we are afraid, and in the future, no one will come to participate in Qingyun Sect's Disciple recruitment ceremony,” Elder Song, who managed Qingzhu Peak's resources, said.
At this time, the battle in the plaza became intense. Luo Zhan displayed his Saber Intent, which enhanced his saber techniques, making his attacks incredibly sharp; Qin Chu also displayed his Sword Intent, which enhanced his sword techniques, and fought fiercely against Luo Zhan.
