Chapter 79: The Unexpected Warmth

After that, the Death Soul Boat was destroyed. With its destruction, the formation binding the Immortal Boat was also undone, and the blocked communication was transmitted.

Soon after, several immortal boats full of cultivators appeared near Qin Yangjun. They were all led by Mahayana realm experts.

The group appeared and bowed to Qin Yangjun.

Then they escorted his boat to the nearest city.

As soon as they arrived, a long-distance teleportation array had already been set up. Setting up such an array consumed enormous resources. No need to guess, this was Mu Xian’s intention.

With a flash of the array, the group vanished.

When he opened his eyes again, a familiar scene appeared. The immortal boat had returned to Yuqian Sect.

This time, Fifth Elder and Seventh Elder came to greet them. Besides them, many alchemists came. As soon as the boat docked, the alchemists boarded and hurriedly took away the injured.

Fifth Elder took Jiang Yanfeng away.

Then Seventh Elder came before Qin Yangjun.

“Xiaojun, leave this to me. The Sect Master is waiting for you at Azure Luan Hall.”

After saying that, she raised her voice.

“And the rest of you, your masters are also waiting there.”

At that moment, Liu Ruoqing, Xuantian Yi, and Situ Ye, who were preparing to sneak away, froze. Then they sighed.

They walked dejectedly to Qin Yangjun.

“You’ll have to protect us later, or we’re done for.”

Hearing Xuantian Yi’s words, Qin Yangjun looked puzzled.

“Why?”

Liu Ruoqing answered: “We went to Greed Ancient City without reporting to our masters.”

“That would be fine, but encountering a demonic attack on the way is different. For example, if a parent tells a child not to go near the water, and the child goes and comes back fine, at most they get scolded. But if the child falls in and is rescued, then comes back, the situation is different. This time when we return, we’ll probably be confined to our rooms.”

Situ Ye also looked dejected.

“Being confined is the best case. Soon it’s the Four Sect Competition. This time back, we’ll inevitably undergo training. With my master’s training, I’ll either die or be flayed alive. Maybe next time you see me, I’ll be missing an arm or leg.” He said this while looking at Qin Yangjun.

Hearing this, the other two also looked at Qin Yangjun with resentment. They knew their fates would be similar.

Qin Yangjun had not only ambushed and killed eight Mahayana demon kings but also slain a great demonic cultivator. Such achievements overshadowed theirs. Their past glorious records seemed like child’s play before these feats.

And their masters would never be willing to have their disciples weaker than others’. So this time back, they would have no good days.

Qin Yangjun said nothing, only sighing helplessly.

‘It must be because I killed that demonic clone. I didn’t want to be so flashy, but they attacked first. I couldn’t just let them hit me.’

Then the four arrived at Azure Luan Hall. Climbing the steps, Qin Yangjun immediately saw his sister. Today she was dressed simply, in a blue long dress.

Beside her were three people he had seen before, the other three sect leaders.

At that moment, the three had stern faces, looking at their disciples.

They didn’t say much, just bowed to Mu Xianxian as if taking leave.

Then their figures flickered and appeared directly in front of Qin Yangjun.

However, to Qin Yangjun’s surprise, the three didn’t go to their disciples first but gathered around him.

“Long time no see, Xiaojun. Your reputation has grown recently. The matter of Wanfa Tian Cult spread even to our Eastern Domain. Well done.”

Qin Yangjun quickly bowed: “Lord Bei Yun’s words honor me. Eliminating demons and upholding the Dao is our duty as cultivators. Fame is just an empty title.”

“Well said. To have such understanding at a young age is rare. Unlike some people who do nothing proper and just loaf around all day!” As she spoke, Shi Huanyu glanced at Situ Ye, who instantly lowered his head, cold sweat dripping down his face.

Then Fu Haiqing patted Qin Yangjun’s shoulder.

“We heard the news. Tian Yi and the others owe their safe return to you. But you must be careful. The fact that you awakened the Golden Crow Martial Image can probably no longer be hidden. Stay in Yuqian Sect for now. With your sister here, those petty villains won’t dare act rashly.”

When he used the Golden Crow Martial Image, Qin Yangjun knew its exposure would bring trouble. After all, the Golden Crow’s effect of suppressing evil inherently countered demonic cultivators. But the situation was critical, and communication was blocked. He had no choice but to play that card.

However, he hadn’t expected Fu Haiqing to say such caring words. Shouldn’t he first check if his own disciple was injured? Out of politeness, Qin Yangjun quickly responded: “Thank you for your concern, Sect Master Fu. I’ll be careful.”

Fu Haiqing smiled: “After the commotion dies down, if you have time, come visit my Yandao Sect to exchange insights with Tian Yi and the others.”

Qin Yangjun cupped his hands and replied: “I’ll definitely come!”

“Then we won’t disturb you further. Tian Yi!”

“Ma… Master.”

Fu Haiqing glanced at Xuantian, then at Qin Yangjun, shook his head helplessly, put his hand on his disciple’s shoulder, and turned into a rainbow light shooting toward the horizon.

Bei Yunlan didn’t say much either. She flicked her sleeve, and she and Liu Ruoqing vanished.

As for Shi Huanyu, she grabbed Situ Ye’s shoulder and threw him onto the Purple Flame Lion, then mounted it.

Then Shi Huanyu turned to look at Qin Yangjun: “Oh, tell Hu’er that she should come back once she’s done playing. That’s just a king beast. I’ll give her another one when she returns.”

“I’ll definitely pass that on!”

Shi Huanyu smiled slightly, then the Purple Flame Lion leaped into the sky and disappeared after a few bounds.

But Qin Yangjun was puzzled. In the novel, though these people were good friends with his sister, their attitudes toward him had been very ordinary. Today they were so warm. Was it just because he killed that crazy woman? But that doesn’t seem right. Each of these sect leaders was once a shocking prodigy. Killing above their level must be routine for them. They might think a bit more highly of him because of this. Moreover, he only killed that woman with his sister’s help. So there’s no reason they should show such warm attitudes. Why?
