The tree trunk blazed fiercely, painting Qin Qingyu's black long hair with a crimson glow.
In the air, aside from the sparks scattered by the turbulent currents created by the collision of hot and cold air, there were also specks of Moonlight Beams slowly rising from the ground towards the sky.
Chen Yan could clearly sense the vigilance radiating from Lin Qifeng beside him.
"Chen Yan."
Lin Qifeng whispered in a low voice:
"If there really are no more hidden tricks up our sleeves right now, the two of us, master and disciple, might not be her match."
Unrivaled in the current generation.
This wasn't just a label Chen Yan had arbitrarily slapped on Qin Qingyu; it was the consensus of almost everyone across the entire Chenping Continent.
From the mont she stepped into the Martial Spring Realm, Qin Qingyu was invincible within the Martial Spring Realm.
And now that she had stepped into the Qi Sea Realm, naturally, she was also invincible within the Qi Sea Realm.
At the very least, in this current era, no other genius could stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
Qin Qingyu still held the silver-white long sword in her arms, motionless.
Only her hair and the hem of her skirt were stirred by the air currents.
The thirteen corpses of Qi Sea Realm cultivators lying on the ground were a testant to Qin Qingyu's strength.
Where are you two headed?
This was the question Qin Qingyu posed to Chen Yan and Lin Qifeng.
"To kill soone."
Chen Yan replied.
"Kill who?"
"Beiyuan Sect, Ye Xiu."
"Why kill him?"
"Because if Ye Xiu isn't killed, no one will be able to leave Heavenly Summit Mountain alive."
Chen Yan declared clearly, his gaze eting Qin Qingyu's eyes, which reflected both the firelight and the Moonlight Beams.
"……"
Qin Qingyu said nothing.
Chen Yan understood very well that Qin Qingyu was absolutely not on He Furen's side.
Because her master, Hu Tianyuan, stood with the direct lineage of Kongyuan Mountain and was currently on the Daoyan Arena, joining forces with Zhong Yin to confront Wen Hongli.
Qin Qingyu was not even twenty years old yet.
It was impossible for her to be directly manipulated by He Furen's faction, especially having to bypass her master.
As the number one unrivaled genius of the current generation on Chenping Continent, Qin Qingyu would receive the full attention of everyone in the Star Heaven Sect, including the Grand Elders.
They would never allow this genius, who was almost guaranteed to break through to the Dao Union Realm in the future and even had hopes of Ascending to Immortality, to suffer any damage.
Therefore, no matter what terms Huo Mu used to strike deals with the other four great sects, the Star Heaven Sect would absolutely never agree.
Qin Qingyu would never stand on He Furen's side. As the current number one genius of Chenping Continent, she would absolutely never risk dirtying her own feathers.
It was impossible for her to voluntarily involve herself in this conspiracy.
"I'll help you."
Qin Qingyu only pondered for a few breaths before making her decision.
"When Liu Daoxing was a guest at the Star Heaven Sect, we got along quite well, and he gave much guidance on cultivation issues."
Liu Daoxing was Liu Yantang.
Because the position she held was precisely the Kongshan Sect's Daon Xingzou (Dao Gate Traveler).
"This Heavenly Summit Mountain incident was also sothing Liu Daoxing inford and my master about in advance..."
Qin Qingyu continued, then paused for a mont:
"Moreover, there are traitors within our Star Heaven Sect as well."
Completely within expectations.
From the mont Xiao Bo'an appeared at the Heavenly Summit Palace and it beca known that Elder Zhang of the Mirage Palace had sided with He Furen's faction.
Chen Yan had already known that basically no one from the Mirage Palace on Heavenly Summit Mountain could be relied upon anymore.
And the other great sects would also inevitably experience varying degrees of betrayal.
As for the situation with those ordinary sects, Chen Yan didn't know.
Perhaps the cultivators from ordinary sects simply weren't worthy of being incorporated into this chess ga by Huo Mu, to be used as pieces.
This was a chess ga whose layout had been going on for who knows how long, silent and unnoticed.
Perhaps only the outer sect steward Song Mingde had inexplicably discovered so clues.
And it was precisely because of Chen Yan's interference, obtaining that list from Song Mingde, that an unpredictable variable was introduced for the ga's master.
Therefore, in this Cycle of Reincarnation, the Dao Inquiry Assembly of Chenping Continent did not conclude peacefully as it had in Chen Yan's previous mories.
Instead, it transford into the scene it was now, like a living hell on earth.
With Qin Qingyu's assistance, the pressure on Chen Yan and Lin Qifeng lightened considerably.
At the very least, if they encountered enemies below the Spirit Connection Realm, with Qin Qingyu present, they wouldn't have to worry.
"How do we kill Ye Xiu?"
Qin Qingyu asked.
"The Water Mirror Pavilion. If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Xiu should be at the Water Mirror Pavilion."
Chen Yan said.
"But, the Water Mirror Pavilion just now has already..."
As she spoke, Qin Qingyu turned her head to look in the direction of the Water Mirror Pavilion.
It had completely turned into ruins.
"We must see Ye Xiu's corpse with our own eyes."
Chen Yan stated resolutely.
……
Watching the disciples of his sect die one after another before his eyes, Zhang Zhuang just stood there in a daze.
This Qi Sea Realm elder of the Beiyuan Sect didn't understand what was happening.
Today on the Daoyan Arena, the final showdown of this Heavenly Summit Mountain Dao Inquiry should have been taking place.
Qin Qingyu versus Chu Xiyao.
Almost everyone had already determined that the final victor would be Qin Qingyu.
So had long said that Qin Qingyu was the number one Martial Spring Realm cultivator of the current generation on Chenping Continent.
But before this, no one truly knew just how strong she was, or how great the gap was between her and other geniuses.
Until this Heavenly Summit Mountain Dao Inquiry.
On Heavenly Summit Mountain, over ninety percent of the cultivator disciples from various sects across Chenping Continent had gathered in the Daoyan Arena, preparing to watch the decisive battle between Qin Qingyu and Chu Xiyao.
Or rather, preparing to watch Qin Qingyu, this most dazzling heaven-favored daughter of Chenping Continent in twelve hundred years, ascend to the peak of Heavenly Summit Mountain.
Unfortunately, the expected normal course of events did not unfold as anticipated.
Instead, it was replaced by the sudden appearance of two Myriad Transformations Realm elders from the Kongshan Sect in the arena.
They publicly questioned another Kongshan Sect elder sitting on the viewing stand.
And then they suddenly started fighting.
The battle of Myriad Transformations Realm cultivators was incredibly spectacular.
The re residual power of their innate true energy had already shaken to death over a thousand cultivators from various sects across Chenping Continent.
Not only that, the entire Daoyan Arena was thrown into chaos.
While cultivators fled, disciples from the Five Great Sects also continuously attacked the crowd.
Why?
Zhang Zhuang watched as his fellow sect disciples, who monts ago were still vibrant and lively, laughing and discussing their experiences at the Dao Inquiry Assembly of Chenping Continent, died one after another beside him.
Why?
In the distance, the pale blue innate true energy had already transford into a cyan-blue giant dragon, swimming through the mid-air.
Ye Xiu.
He suddenly thought of this disciple, upon whom the Beiyuan Sect had pinned great hopes, arguably the most outstanding disciple in the history of the Beiyuan Sect.
Ye Xiu should still be in the Water Mirror Pavilion right now.
No, he had to find him.
Zhang Zhuang thought this in his heart.
No matter what, he had to preserve this spark that could allow the Beiyuan Sect to join the ranks of first-rate sects on Chenping Continent in the future!
