Qin Xuan’s expression turned cold. Neither servile nor overbearing, he struck out with his palm, turning the cyan Demon Wolf’s skeleton to dust.
"Fellow Daoist Miao, is this how you show your courtesy when visiting my Huaizhong Altar?"
Miao Hongrui hadn’t expected that announcing her background would fail to intimidate Qin Xuan, and a look of displeasure crossed her face.
"Master Qin, do you know that I have co this ti bearing..."
The next mont, the pressure of a Golden Core expert suddenly descended!
BOOM!
Miao Hongrui’s body buckled, her pretty face twisting as a bone-piercing agony shot up from below her waist.
Only then did Qin Xuan notice that beneath Miao Hongrui’s long red dress were not two legs, but the lower half of a colorful Demon Python’s tail, its crimson scales glittering in the sunlight!
Dressed in a black robe, Gao Fengliang had appeared at so unknown point, stroking his beard with a smile.
"This child pays his respects, Ancestor!" Gao Hai hurriedly bowed.
Miao Hongrui’s scalp tingled. She finally understood the source of Qin Xuan’s confidence.
"Greetings, Director Gao. I did not intend to make an enemy of the Blood Loan Money Shop, I..."
"Heh heh, Master Miao, I will report this matter to Lord Pure Yang Soul Capturing Demon Monarch. How Master Sunx chooses to deal with you then will depend on your own fortune!"
Gao Fengliang let out a cold laugh. With a wave of his large sleeve, demonic light surged, and Miao Hongrui was swept off Ten Thousand Poison Peak, wailing in agony.
"Thank you for your intervention, Director Gao. I am endlessly grateful."
"It is I who should be thanking you, Master Qin. It is Gao Hai’s good fortune to receive your guidance."
Gao Fengliang’s expression changed, and he spoke amiably.
Hailing from the Blood Loan Money Shop, Gao Fengliang had no fear whatsoever of the Mystic Womb Corpse Cliff that Miao Hongrui had ntioned.
Qin Xuan lowered his gaze. "You praise too much, Director Gao. Fellow Daoist Gao is exceptionally talented; this junior dares not take the credit."
"Hahaha, you’ve worked hard, Master Qin."
Gao Fengliang laughed heartily, growing more and more pleased the more he listened. With a flick of his sleeve, an exquisite Storage Pouch landed in Qin Xuan’s hand.
"Inside are 320,000 low-grade spirit stones. Consider it your paynt. To be honest, I have been observing from the side, and Master Qin is indeed an excellent teacher."
"I wish to ask Master Qin to take out four hours each day for the next half-month to continue guiding this boy. The paynt will follow this precedent. What are your thoughts?"
Qin Xuan swept his Divine Sense over it, a flash of joy crossing his eyes. "To be able to discuss the Sword Dao with a fine talent like Fellow Daoist Gao is this junior’s pleasure. I would not dare to refuse."
Gao Fengliang stroked his beard and laughed loudly.
The two then chatted for a while longer. Just as he was about to leave, Gao Fengliang suddenly said, out of the blue,
"Master Qin, I saw that the Mystic Womb Corpse Refining Demon Monarch has posted a new notice in the Contribution Hall. He’s looking to recruit people. His expertise is in slaying demons and Corpse Refining, and before he entered the Demon Sect, his original family na was Sunx..."
Gao Fengliang said with a chuckle via Telepathy.
"If you are interested, you could go to the Mystic Womb Corpse Cliff and try your luck. You might even co out on top and win the Demon Monarch’s favor..."
As he spoke, he intentionally emphasized the words "original family na was Sunx."
How could soone as smart as Qin Xuan not understand? He grasped the aning in an instant!
’His original family na was Sunx... isn’t that Sunx Miao’s ancestor?’
’I shone too brightly in the Blood Pool Sword Tomb, and now a Nascent Soul Demon Monarch has his eyes on !’
Qin Xuan cupped his hands, his expression as calm as ever.
"Thank you for the tip, Director Gao. I understand and will certainly not break our agreent."
"A student worth teaching!" Gao Fengliang nodded slightly, a look of admiration on his face.
Demonic light surged, and in an instant, he and Gao Hai vanished from the spot.
...
’I never thought I’d see the day I’d get pushed around by so rich second-generation brat.’
Back in his Cave Mansion, Qin Xuan was fuming.
After a mont of thought, he was able to figure out the whole story.
That Sunx Miao, whose Storage Pouch he had stolen, was ninety-nine percent certain to be a blood descendant of the Mystic Womb Corpse Refining Demon Monarch!
’No, that’s not right. Given the usual behavior of a Holy Sect Demon Monarch, if he wanted to stand up for his descendant, my Golden Finger would have warned long ago. How could I still be alive?’
On second thought, Qin Xuan broke out in a cold sweat.
’Standing up for Sunx Miao was just a pretense; the truth is that the old bastard is probably plotting against !’
Realizing this, Qin Xuan quickly put a few important items into his Storage Ring, preparing to quietly leave the Sect and lay low for a while.
"Altar Master."
Just then, a figure appeared like a ghost in the shadows of the Cave Mansion, bowing in respect.
The newcor wore a black robe and had a thin fra, his face covered in warts.
It was none other than Duan Ning, the Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivator under Qin Xuan who was the reincarnation of a Purple Mansion True Demon.
Duan Ning held out a jade slip with both hands. It had a warm luster and faintly emanated a five-colored, misty aura.
"I found this item on one of his Foundation Establishnt Stage female concubines while I was carrying out your orders to investigate the secret contacts Jiaang the Demon left behind on Ten Thousand Poison Peak."
"That Female Cultivator had a Restriction placed on her by Jiaang Xiaofeng, so she herself didn’t even know of this item’s existence. It must be the culmination of Jiaang Xiaofeng’s lifelong research into the Poison Dao, hidden on her body for a ti of need."
"Oh? Bring it here and let see."
Qin Xuan examined it for a mont.
Qin Xuan’s gaze sharpened as he took the jade slip.
It was cool to the touch. When he extended his Divine Thought into it, a vast and profound body of knowledge on the Poison Dao flooded into his mind.
On the title page of the jade slip, four large words were engraved in an ancient, bird-and-insect style seal script.
*Five Poison True Understanding*.
"Jiaang Xiaofeng’s life’s work?"
Qin Xuan was taken aback. "This is quite an unexpected surprise. Are you really willing to offer this to ?"
"The Altar Master’s kindness in taking in is like giving a new life. I offer this in hopes that it may be of so help to you, my lord, on your trip to the Secret Realm," Duan Ning said with sincere emotion.
Qin Xuan nodded in satisfaction and tossed Duan Ning a bottle of self-refined Tier Two Elixirs. "A reward for you. You may leave."
Duan Ning’s face lit up with joy. "Thank you, Altar Master, for your generous gift!"
With that, he slowly retreated.
Qin Xuan did have his suspicions, but after a careful inspection, he found that the Spiritual Sense Restriction on the jade slip was intact, with no signs of tampering.
’I’ll take a look first. With my True Sun Fire, not to ntion the Chixiao Monarch and the Fla Demon, there’s no poison out there that can ambush !’
