“Er, er,” Gongsun Ming was still hanging on to a thread of life. He stared at Si Hongyue in disbelief, and then at Qin Changqing, “You… you’re actually colluding with the Demon Cultivator!”

Qin Changqing said indifferently, “Don’t say it so unpleasantly. It’s just a temporary alliance, nothing more. Isn’t your Gongsun family like this too? Stop at nothing for expansion and growth.”

“Colluding with the devil, you won’t end well…”

“That’s not for you to worry about. Once you die, I will go back to Yinxu Prefecture and destroy the Gongsun family.”

Gongsun Ming’s eyes widened in anger, using up his last strength to fly towards the boat, attempting to escape from this place.

A Golden Elixir Realm cultivator, even at the first level, was not someone that Foundation Establishment Cultivator could contend against.

But Si Hongyue didn’t give him the chance.

The dark lotus platform seemed like the best hidden assassination weapon, controlled by Si Hongyue, it flashed quickly, and the Flame Armor Army was instantly killed with ease, as if cutting fruit.

Before Gongsun Ming could even step on the boat, the lotus platform shattered his protective barrier and pierced through his heart, causing him to fall helplessly from mid-air.

All twenty strong members of the Flame Armor Army were killed.

She waved her hand towards the boat, which turned into a small magical treasure and fell into her hands, along with the pagoda.

“It’s useless to me. Yours.” Si Hongyue handed it over.

Qin Changqing pursed his lips, and stared at the two magical treasures without moving.

Si Hongyue smiled slightly, “What, scared?”

“Scared of what?” Qin Changqing’s body was soft but his mouth was still tough.

“However, have you recovered your cultivation?”

“No, I have only recovered to the Golden Elixir Realm, far from my peak period. Yinxu Prefecture no longer has any medicinal materials to heal my injuries.”

Qin Changqing was dumbfounded.

“When did you recover?”

Si Hongyue smiled lightly, “In the tent, when you threatened me.”

Ah, this.

Saintess, why didn’t you say so earlier? If you had told me earlier, I would have definitely spoken more softly at that time.

Qin Changqing only had the courage to ally with her because he thought this woman hadn’t recovered her Golden Elixir strength. Otherwise, if the Golden Elixir Realm powerhouses attacked him, he might not even have time to summon the God Symbol of the old man.

“Don’t worry.” As if seeing through Qin Changqing’s fear, Si Hongyue said, “Since we have already formed an alliance, I won’t go back on my word. Don’t think demonic cultivators are evil by default. Look at your so-called righteous people; how many of them are truly upright? They just self-proclaim to be righteous.”

Qin Changqing also thought that the so-called righteous and evil are just names given by everyone’s subjective opinions.

Evil cultivators do have many ruthless and unscrupulous people, but there are also many hypocrites in the righteous camp.

He actually didn’t mind; the key was not to threaten him or the people around him.

“I’m revealing my strength now just to avoid suspicion at critical moments. If you don’t trust me, we don’t have to continue our alliance.” said Si Hongyue bluntly.

“No, I think it’s good like this.” Qin Changqing smiled. “You’ve recovered your Golden Elixir strength, which is good for us, and I believe you won’t mess around. After all, you’re also afraid of the trump card in my hand, right?”

Si Hongyue’s eyes flashed with surprise, then she said: “You’re right, I am indeed cautious. MO Jiuzhou’s name is extraordinary to us, so let’s continue on.”

“Alright, but give those two magical treasures to me.”

The death of Gongsun Ming and the Flame Armor Army foretelled the inevitable demise of the Gongsun family, but it also served as a warning to Qin Changqing.

These guys attacked again after so long and went all out, betting everything. This clearly didn’t match the style of a cultivation family.

The cultivation world was full of crises at every step. The Gongsun family had worked hard in Yinxu Prefecture for so long, yet suddenly went all-in. Who would believe it if there wasn’t a reason behind it?

Qin Changqing could only think of the city lord who he had never met, that made Gongsun Ming go so far.

But why did the city lord want to kill him?

Because of the sect’s opposition?

Or purely personal reasons?

Regardless, he had to be more careful from now on.Moreover, after Gongsun Ming’s death, the situation in Yinxu Prefecture would inevitably become turbulent, and the Qin family had to prepare accordingly.

“Eldest Senior Brother, is it really okay for her to be with us?” Qin Lingshuang was worried about Si Hongyue’s presence.

Upon learning that Si Hongyue was the witch chased by their sect, Liu Siqi was dumbfounded.

Wi-wit-wit-witch-witch!

Witch, fight it!

“It’s fine, I have it under control.” Qin Changqing said with a light smile.

He took the divine symbol out of his storage bag. If Si Hongyue harbors any malicious intentions, he could quickly summon the old man who, once arrives, would outmatch anyone. However, Qin Changqing felt that this woman seemed trustworthy, at least more so than the people of Gongsun Family.

Who said that demon cultivators are heartless?

Who claimed that the righteous path is bright?

These are just the matters of the heart.

The four of them continued flying towards the direction sensed by Si Hongyue.

After about half a day’s journey deep into the Tiankui Restricted Area, they heard a series of explosion noises in the distance.

“It’s the people from Lingxiao Sect.”

Qin Changqing focused on the scene.

He saw people wearing the robes of Lingxiao Sect scattered in the distance.

Those who were fighting were two Qixiao Sect elders against a mysterious woman.

The woman was dressed in black, her cultivation method filled with demonic energy, very overbearing, and seemed somewhat similar to Si Hongyue.

With the woman fighting against two opponents, she didn’t seem to be at a disadvantage.

“Hehehe, is this all Lingxiao Sect people are capable of? If you don’t have any other tricks, this Saintess will leave!” The woman’s laughter was soft and supple, making people’s hearts waver. “Demonic woman! Don’t be arrogant!”

The two elders went all out in their attacks. Si Hongyue’s face turned cold: “It’s that bitch!”

“Steward Qin!”

At this moment, Liu Shuisheng arrived on his sword, stopping in front of the four.

Qin Changqing was surprised: “Uncle Liu, how come you arrived before us?”

“Elder Tie and Elder Wang discovered the witch’s whereabouts and ordered us to come and help. I was about to notify you.” Liu Shuisheng glanced at Liu Siqi, making sure she wasn’t in any danger, and then noticed Si Hongyue beside him, “Who is she?”

Si Hongyue tightened her grip on the sword.

Qin Changqing placed his hand on hers and smiled, “Oh, this one is my wife-to-be, Xiaoyueyue.”

Si Hongyue: “?”

“Hide your aura. There are several elders present. If they recognize you, it’ll be bad.” Qin Changqing whispered into her ear.

Although Si Hongyue wanted to punch him away, she held back, considering the situation.

“Steward Qin, it’s you.” Liu Shuisheng believed him. If someone else said it, they might be doubted, but Qin Changqing saying it was 100% believable. “Anyway, let’s go and help Elder Mu.”

“Elder Mu? Where is he?”

“Over there.” Liu Shuisheng pointed, “The elders discovered a secret realm, and the people from Huntian Sect are gathered there. They are very strong, and there is even a Golden Elixir Stage powerhouse. Elder Mu is leading an attack.”

“A secret realm!” Si Hongyue immediately looked in that direction.

It was a canyon area.

Battles were also happening in the canyon.

Qin Changqing nodded and was about to fly over on his sword when suddenly, a terrifying energy burst out from within..
