"What? The Qin family disciples are trapped in a valley with ferocious beasts in their front and Princess Nan Feng in their rear!?"
After hearing this, Qin Feng grumbled internally about how Qin Mu Xie should have said it sooner.
Thinking of how Fang Chang entered the valley after saying how he'd definitely be back, he couldn't help but wonder why there hadn't been any news from him since then.
As a proper and upright Confucianism disciple, he had to follow his morals and comfort his first love, ptui, his black pearl!
"This is my fault!?"
Qin Mu Xie was stunned. She felt that he was extremely unfamiliar.
In the past, Qin Feng who had lived in the Qin family was extremely humble and courteous, a handsome young man who was extremely famous. However, just after a few years of separation, he had become so despicable.
Was this something that he had learned in the Yin Yue Imperial Dynasty or was his true colours showing after leaving the Qin family?
But that didn't seem right either!
From his act of gouging out his younger brother's Sovereign Bone, it seemed like he was showing his true colours then. Even then, he should be innately cruel rather than despicable.
More likely than not, Qin Feng was led astray by the teachings of the Yin Yue Imperial Dynasty. She had long heard of rumours about how the Moon Goddess was an improper person.
"Since this is a family matter of Brother Qin, I will take my leave first!" Lin San hurriedly searched for an excuse to leave, fearing that Qin Feng would further crush his belief in his indomitability into smithereens.
"Brother Lin, we are blood-related brothers of different fathers and mothers. Any issue of mine is an issue of yours as well!" Qin Feng's shamelessness was boundless, and he grabbed onto Lin San's hands tightly as he spoke.
What a joke!
It took him so much effort to catch a Chosen One. He hadn't even earned enough from him just yet, so how could he let him go just like that?
Moreover, if a group battle were to break out later, how could he show off his capabilities as a great villain without letting loose a Chosen One there?
"Ah, this!"
Qin Mu Xie looked at their tightly intertwined fingers, faintly smelling an unusual scent wafting in the air.
.........
Within the valley.
The ferocious beasts were madly attacking the Qin family disciples, their numbers far surpassing expectations.
"Set up an array!!"
The Qin family disciples all performed ritual gestures, stepping into a formation of the hundred and eight stars.
Buzz buzz!!
A golden-coloured array formed speedily, protecting all of the Qin family disciples within. However, the number of ferocious beasts was far too many, and even this array wouldn't last very long. Furthermore, the Great Xia Imperial Family were eyeing them from the sidelines as well.
"Is the heavens truly intent on punishing the Qin family!"
The expression of the leading disciple of the Qin family was full of self-reproach. How could he have led the Qin family disciples into such a perilous situation?
The other Qin family disciples hurriedly comforted him, "Don't be like that. Just now, Qin Mu Xie has already escaped. As long as she is able to find reinforcements, we still have hope. If we truly have no other choice, we can only duke it out with them."
"Hope!?"
Princess Nan Feng, who was standing outside of the valley, revealed a contemptuous smile. She did not think that the Qin family had any hope of turning the tables.
In reality, she had purposefully allowed Qin Mu Xie's escape. If she was truly able to bring back any reinforcements that were from the Yin Yue Imperial Dynasty, she could use the crime of working with foreign enemies to annihilate the disciples of the Qin family completely.
If the reinforcements that Qin Mu Xie brought back were from the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty, then she would use that opportunity to take care of them as well. As such, she could prevent them from colluding with the Qin family to threaten the imperial authority in the future.
Anyways, these Heavenly Youth Scholars were all commoners. Even if they all died now, she wouldn't feel bad about it in the slightest. If anything, she could just recruit another batch.
At this moment---
Qin Feng and his party had already arrived in the valley, just close enough to be in the eyeshot of Princess Nan Feng and the rest.
It was clear that the Great Xia Imperial Family had put in considerable investments this time. They had sent more than a thousand Heavenly Youth Scholars into the Kunlun hidden realm, while on the other hand, the Qin family had only chosen just over a hundred skilled disciples.
They could barely cope when facing a thousand Heavenly Youth Scholars, and with the ferocious beasts added into the fray, they would undoubtedly fall.
Qin Mu Xie's gaze was fixed on Qin Feng this entire time. With a nervous tone, she asked, "Younger brother Qin Feng, as the greatest prodigy of Huang Gu, the only son of god in the Moon Goddess Palace, and the third saint of the Yin Yue Imperial Dynasty, did you truly enter the Kunlun hidden realm alone!?"
Qin Feng boasted, "How could it be? Aside from my rabbit, I also brought Qian Jun, Wan Ma."
"Qian Jun Wan Ma(A great army)!!"
Qin Mu Xie's eyes started to glow as she hurriedly asked, "Where are they? As long as we work together, we can devour this group of Heavenly Youth Scholars and greatly weaken the strength of the Great Xia Imperial Dynasty. If you are willing to work together with us, I believe that the family will be willing to forgive your crimes."
Your crimes!
Lin San sneaked a glance toward Qin Feng. He was naturally aware of what crimes she was referring to.
Back in the day, the Qin family had birthed two great prodigies, an event that shook the entire Huang Gu. All of the influential forces believed that the Qin family would dominate Huang Gu in the future, so they started to secretly plot against the Qin family in response.
However, no one had expected that the eldest young master of the Qin family would personally gouge out the Sovereign Bone of his younger brother and escape from the Qin family to the Moon Goddess Palace of the Yin Yue Imperial Dynasty.
From that point onwards, the second young master of the Qin family was crippled. The Qin family, seemingly an injured tiger that was busy licking its wounds, shied away from the scene. By that time, the influential forces that were all secretly plotting against the Qin family turned their focus elsewhere, believing that the Qin family was no longer a threat.
However, he couldn't understand even to this day why Qin Feng would gouge out his younger brother's Sovereign Bone with his talent.
Was it truly just for strength!?
His gut told him that Qin Feng wasn't such a person!
"Don't flatter yourself. I, the saint, isn't here to rescue you all. I'm here to look for a human fire extinguisher!"
Qin Feng maintained the self-discipline of a spy as he grabbed onto Lin San's hand and vanished.
"This is......"
Qin Mu Xue's eyes glowed. Qin Feng had tossed her a Cloud-Piercing Arrow.
"Dimensional Contraction!"
Lin San's pupils constricted, his heart shaken.
Never mind his great achievements in the Sword Dao, but he actually had time and effort to research a foot technique. Furthermore, he had even achieved the realm of Dimensional Contraction, something that even most Origin Dan realm cultivators found difficult to achieve.
Xiu!!
Qin Mu Xue unhesitantly shot out the Cloud-Piercing Arrow, creating an explosion of the word 'Six' to appear in the air with a resounding boom.
At this moment---
Qian Jun and Wan Ma, following Qin Feng's instructions, were currently spreading the fake news of how Lin San and the rest had found treasures.
"This is Boss' signal!!"
After seeing the Cloud-Piercing Arrow, Qian Jun and Wan Ma hurriedly started to run toward Qin Feng's location.
"Are the Qin family's reinforcements here!?"
Hearing the commotion, Princess Nan Feng immediately turned her head to the source. What entered her gaze, however, was Qin Feng, the scum who had caused her many sleepless nights. This had caused her mood, which was originally rather good, to turn sour almost instantly.
"Qin Feng, you're actually trying to save them with just the two of you!?"
Princess Nan Feng gritted her teeth in anger, wanting nothing more than to bite Qin Feng to death at this very moment.
At the same time, worry started to appear in her heart. What were Qin Feng's intentions in saving these people? Was he trying to return to the Qin family by saving them, or did he have other hidden intentions?
"Who said that there was only the two of them!"
Qin Mu Xie gracefully descended to the ground, speaking with great pride, "Younger brother Qin Feng has brought Qian Jun Wan Ma (A great army) with him this time to the Kunlun hidden realm. I've already shot the Cloud-Piercing Arrow just now, and they will undoubtedly arrive soon. The tide of war has turned, the disadvantaged one is you, Princess Nan Feng."
"Qian Jun Wan Ma (A great army)!!"
The Qin family disciples within the valley were bursting with excitement, already prepared to counterattack at a moment's notice.
Rumble!!
Two large silhouettes dressed in armour descended from the skies, kicking up a large dust cloud......
