Chapter 48: The Outcome of Success and Failure is Already Decided

  Qin Luo Yi stroked his chin and gazed at the divine rainbow in front of him, smiling: "I still have something to ask him. If he sees you all here, he might get scared and not dare come."

  Regardless of whether Dahei and Hei Di agreed or not, they were forcibly thrown into the spatial ring, then turned around and ran towards a mountain peak with dense forests.

  Murong Yue saw her flying in the sky, let out a cold hum, accelerated his speed, and instantly landed in front of her. A sly and bloodthirsty smile appeared on his handsome yet somewhat effeminate face.

  "Qin Luoyi... why do you run away as soon as you see me?"

  Qin's eyes flashed with a cold light as he watched him warily and asked: "Murong Jue, what do you want to do?"

  "Haha, what do I want to do... What do you think I want to do?" Murong Jue walked in front of her with his hands behind his back, his eyes flashing with cold light: "An 18-year-old ninth-grade top-notch alchemy genius, daring to come alone into this treacherous ice domain. Qin Luoyi, your courage is really big! If you accidentally fall here, will it make many people regret it?"

  Qin Luo Yi lightly hummed and said, "Murong Jue, you want to kill me? Just because I won your Purple Fire Stove? As the saying goes, a good gambler knows when to concede. Are you not afraid of being ridiculed by everyone under heaven if you act like this?"

  Murong Jue raised an eyebrow, staring at her pretty face and laughing loudly: "You were killed by the formation while searching for treasure in the Ice Domain, what does it have to do with me? No one will know you died at my hands."

  "Everyone will know you're the murderer if they see you using the purple fire stove again!" Qin Luo's eyes flashed with a cold, fierce light as he angrily exclaimed.

  "Haha, there are many treasures inside, but unfortunately, not a few of them are guarded by powerful formations. When the time comes, I'll see it with others, you're greedy and want to take more treasures, only to be killed by the formation, haha! Return my Purple Fire Furnace, and no one in the world will say anything again." Murong Jue said with a smile on his face.

  "You're really ruthless!" Even if Qin Luo had known that things wouldn't end well with Murong Jue, knowing the calculations he had made, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. "All for a purple fire stove..."

  "It's not just the Purple Fire Furnace, Qin Luo Yi, you actually dare to kill my two masters, today I must use your blood to sacrifice their spirits in heaven!" Murong Yue interrupted her words and said harshly.

  "What a joke!" Qin Luo sneered, curling his lip in disdain. "Those two junior brothers of yours came to my Floating Mist Sect to buy off my disciples and plot against my life. Do you think they'll go to heaven? They're more likely to end up in hell!"

  Before she left, Xiao Tian had already been thrown into the Law Enforcement Hall by Du Mu Changqing, confessing to his actions without hesitation. The elder of the Law Enforcement Hall personally told her that for Xiao Tian's crime, he would be punished and sent to Lion Tiger Cliff for five days. Even if he managed to survive, he would be expelled from the Piaomiao Sect and no longer be a disciple of the sect.

  The danger under the Lion Tiger Ferry, she has personally experienced it. Although the most powerful Black Emperor is not below, there are also fierce bulls like them, which is enough to make him suffer. With his cultivation that is less than a Martial Saint, entering would only lead to death.

  Facing the confident and determined Murong Chui in front of her, Qin Luoyi did not deny anything. Many things were not explicitly stated, but everyone understood them tacitly.

  Now the only thing Qin Luo wants to know is that while Murong Jue thinks she has no way out, take advantage of the situation to find out if the person who colluded with Piaomiao Sect and Dongtian Fudi is only Xiao Tian.

  Although Xiao Tian admitted everything and said it without hesitation, she had a strange feeling that Xiao Tian might have someone backing him up, otherwise he wouldn't be so bold as to make a move on her.

  There are people who would put themselves in harm's way for their loved ones, but as far as she was concerned, Xiao Tian didn't seem like that kind of person. Before this incident, she had heard Song Huashan and others mention that the Xiao family branch Xiao Tian belonged to was a very distant offshoot, not much different from being unrelated.

  The eldest son, Xiao Tian, was exceptionally talented from a young age and highly valued by the Xiao family. He had access to the best spiritual plants and elixirs, which he used to his advantage. Later, he caught the attention of Dongtian Fudi and eventually became a core disciple. As someone with the same name and surname, and coming from the same family, Xiao Tian's talent was not inferior, but because of the outstanding eldest son Xiao Tian, he was overshadowed in comparison. He was extremely envious and perhaps even resentful, as some people close to him in the Piaomiao Sect had heard him complain privately. If he were born into the main branch, with his qualifications, he would have been heavily cultivated and his achievements would not be inferior to those of Xiao Tian. Moreover, in his words, he often complained about his own father.

  "If you hadn't taken the initiative to kill his sister and cause his father and uncle to disappear, would he have come to the Floating Sect to find you? Qin Luoyi, you're so young, yet you can distort black and white and spout nonsense." He even cursed his own junior brother to go to hell, Mu Rong was furious.

  Qin Luo Yi blinked, and a hint of dim light flashed in her phoenix-like eyes. She sneered, "You seem to know quite a bit about what's going on between us. Did he tell you that I killed his sister? Did he say why I would kill his sister? Hmph, if they hadn't relied on their numerical superiority and tried to snatch the Yellow Stone Essence from me, would I have killed them?"

  "Huangshi Jingyuan? You actually have Huangshi Jingyuan on you?" Murong Jue was taken aback, then suddenly became wildly excited, with a fierce and greedy glint in his eyes. He abruptly pressed closer to her, ignoring what Qin Luoyi had said about the cause of Xiao Tian's sister's death.

  "Huangshi Jingyuan, that's a top-grade crystal stone. If we refine it into a magic weapon or treasure, its power will at least double! He is currently at the peak of Qingfu 9th stage cultivation. If he gets this Huangshi Jingyuan and refines it, there's an 80% chance he can challenge Yu Fu cultivators across levels!"

  Qin Luoyi quickly retreated a few steps as he approached, his face filled with regret and remorse, as if he was extremely sorry for having said something so important.

  "Bring out the Purple Flame Furnace and the Yellow Stone Essence, don't make me take action, I'll let you leave with your whole body!" Murong Jue excitedly said as he approached Qin Luo Yi. The Yellow Stone Essence was something he had to obtain, even the Purple Flame Furnace couldn't compare to it.

  To know the entire Penglai Fairy Island, even the Xuantian Continent, the number of Yellow Stone Essence in this world can be counted on one hand, and he... from now on, will also have a piece of Yellow Stone Essence.

  Qin Luoyi stood there, slightly furrowing her brow and pursing her lips without saying a word, looking very unwilling.

  Murong Jue was somewhat displeased, and let out a cold snort. The powerful pressure of the Qingfu cultivator burst forth from his body, heavily suppressing her.

  Qin Luo's cultivation was far from reaching the peak of Wu Sheng, how could she withstand his full force release? Her face turned pale on the spot, her body swayed and almost fell, if not for her strong willpower, struggling to resist, perhaps she would have already knelt down in front of Murong Yue.

  Murong Jue's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, seemingly not expecting Qin Luoyi to stand firm under his pressure. He raised his chin and proudly opened his mouth: "In this icy domain, you'd better know your place. Killing you would be as easy as crushing an ant, so don't even think about resisting me. Otherwise..." His voice paused, and his eyes gazing at Qin Luoyi's bright face turned light and thin, with a hint of intense desire flashing by: "Before killing you, I wouldn't mind having a romantic encounter with you, absorbing your cultivation, and making you suffer to the extreme before dying."

  In the cultivation world, dual cultivation can increase each other's cultivation speed. However, some male cultivators, in order to make their cultivation speed even faster, specifically look for female cultivators who have no strong family background and whose cultivation is weaker than theirs as their furnace tripods. Taking advantage of the joy and ecstasy, they use their techniques to absorb all of the women's cultivation. Because the female cultivators that male cultivators find are generally those with lower cultivation levels, by then, even if the female cultivator feels something is wrong and wants to resist, she will be unable to do so.

  Qin's face turned even paler, not from fear, but from rage. That damned Bastard, Murong Jue, actually had such a vicious idea. She made up her mind that later she definitely couldn't let him die too quickly, slowly torturing him to death would be the only way to vent the anger in her heart.

  With a flick of her finger, the yellow stone essence was cut out with a small corner, revealing the dazzling golden light inside. She held it up and pointed the cut side at Murong Yue, sneering: "You want this yellow stone essence? It's not impossible... but first, tell me who in the Piaoyu Sect is colluding with you in the Dongtian Fudi. If you say it, I'll leave this yellow stone essence to you. Otherwise... I'd rather die and destroy it together."

  After she finished speaking, she pinched the crystal stone with her fingers and exerted a slight force, causing many brown stone fragments to fall from the surface of the yellow stone essence, proving that what she said was not false. As long as she was willing, she could crush this piece of yellow stone essence at any time.

  Murong was furious and stared at her coldly: "Since you're going to die anyway, what's the point of knowing those things?"

  Qin Luo Yi shook her head, a hint of killing intent flashing in her phoenix-like eyes: "That's exactly why I want to know even more."

  "Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian of the Xiao Sect, didn't you already know? You were thrown into the Lion Tiger Gorge by the Law Enforcement Hall. Don't drag out the time, hand over that Yellow Stone Essence to me!" Murong Jue slowly walked closer to Qin Luo Yi once again, his face stern.

  He approached, Qin Luo took off his clothes and retreated. Murong Ju was afraid that she would really destroy the Huangshi Jingyuan, and he didn't dare to force her too hard.

  "Xiao Tian? No, I want to know the person behind the scenes." Qin Luo's lips curled up with a hint of ridicule: "Xiao Tian is just a scapegoat after all."

  Murong Jue's eyes flashed with a hint of unusual color, could it be that Qin Luoyi knew something? As far as he knew, Xiao Tian had taken on all the responsibilities by himself, and that person had done it very secretly, so how could she know that Xiao Tian was just a scapegoat?

  "You don't dare to tell me, is it that you don't have the confidence to kill me? Are you afraid that I'll survive and leave the Ice Domain to find him and take revenge?" Qin Luoyi had been paying attention to Mu Rongzhu's expression all along, and naturally didn't miss the unusual look on his face. His heart sank, and indeed, there was someone behind the scenes.

  Murong Jue coldly laughed: "You're having a hard time flying with your wings clipped today, thinking of going out? Dream on! I'll tell you anyway, but if after I've said this, you dare to destroy the Huangshi Jingyuan, I will definitely crush your bones and scatter your ashes... And as for your relatives in Shenglong Continent, I won't mind spending some crystals to set up an array platform to go to Shenglong Continent."

  The implication is that she wants to get rid of all her relatives once and for all.

  Qin's face turned red with rage, and it took a great deal of effort to control the flames in his heart. He opened his mouth and asked, "Who is it?"

  Murong Jue raised a gloomy smile: "Heh heh, I'm going to say something that might shock you. Last night, I met her again, and she told me that as long as she can take your life, she'll definitely reward me heavily."

  "Cut the nonsense! Who is it?" Qin Luo Yi's expression was somewhat impatient as she interrupted him, urging him on. She only wanted to know who that person was and had no interest in their transaction. Whoever dared to scheme against her and try to put her to death would certainly be repaid tenfold or even a hundredfold once she got out!

  "You're quite the impatient one, she's just... elusive..." Murong Jue raised an eyebrow, his cold eyes full of mockery, just about to say the name out loud, when Qin Liu Yi's joyful expression suddenly turned into a shocked look after realizing who that person was. Suddenly, a white light flashed on Qin Liu Yi's hand, and a ball of light the size of a human head appeared in her palm.

  Murong Jue's words were still stuck in his throat, and he thought Qin Luoyi was taking out some secret treasure to deal with him - as the gatekeeper of Ge's sect, it wasn't impossible that Qin had some powerful artifact on him.

  His face changed, and he hastily retreated hundreds of meters towards the back. After seeing the light ball clearly, he rushed over with a look of great shock: "The aura of Chaos... No, it's thousands of times more intense than the aura of Chaos! The spiritual power and star power inside are terrifying, this is... This is the source of Chaos!"

  In the end, Murong Jue was so excited that he almost danced with joy, and didn't care if Qin Luoyi would crush the Huangshi Jingyuan, and rushed over, wanting to snatch the Hunyuan source from her hand. After all, compared to the Huangshi Jingyuan, this Hunyuan source is even more against the sky. Many top masters of the past dynasties have only seen it in secret books, but never saw it in their lifetime.

  And he was able to recognize it so quickly because the ancestor who founded Dongtian Fudi, with his profound blessings, had unexpectedly obtained a small amount of primordial chaos energy. Relying on that primordial chaos energy, his cultivation advanced rapidly over several hundred years, making him the strongest in Penglai Fairy Island and Xuantian Continent at the time. As the core disciple of this generation of Dongtian Fudi, he had once followed his master to pay respects at the tomb of the ancestor in a forbidden land. In front of the ancestor's massive tomb, not only was there a strong spiritual energy, but also a layer of primordial chaos energy enveloping it.

  In the blessed land of Dongtian, being able to guard the spirit of the ancestral master is an extremely high honor, only disciples who have made outstanding contributions to the sect can enjoy it. Those who come out from the forbidden land have rapid and fierce cultivation, envied by many people in the sect.

  And if he were to obtain this piece of Chaos Origin, his future achievements would surely surpass those of the Ancestral Master, becoming even more powerful.

  Compared to its excitement, Qin Luo Yi was extremely disappointed. He didn't expect that at this most critical moment, such an unexpected event would occur. Wasn't the source of chaos absorbed by the Hunyuan Heaven Pearl? How could it suddenly run out without any warning signs?

  "Ao wu, the source of chaos is mine." A black figure suddenly appeared out of thin air, a huge claw swiftly slapped away Mu Rong Yue's incoming palm, while the other claw grasped the Source of Chaos. The moment it was seized, the Source of Chaos transformed into strands of dazzling white light and escaped once again.

  "Don't let it get away!" Dahei also ran out, his face anxious. In this brief moment, the source of chaos had already flown hundreds of meters ahead and condensed into a ball again. Two figures, one black and one white, closely followed in pursuit.

  Qin Luo Yi stood there motionless, without the Hunyuan Heaven Pearl. With her cultivation, she couldn't catch the Chaos Source at all. She sank her divine sense into the Lingtai Cave and saw the Hunyuan Heaven Pearl start glowing again. It then rapidly rotated before flying out thousands of meters, only to return and enter her palm once more.

  Qin let out a breath of relief as his clothes fell off.

  Hei Di let out a loud roar, anxiously grasping at his heart and liver. He had once again missed the opportunity to merge with the Chaos Origin, watching helplessly as it entered Qin Luo's body instead.

  Dahuo let out a sigh of relief. Such a heaven-defying thing, losing it would be a real pity.

  "Qin Luoyi, what secrets are you hiding on your body?" The Black Emperor circled around her, his eyes filled with suspicion. If Qin Luoyi had obtained the Chaos Origin for the first time, it could be said that the Chaos Origin had chosen her, but just now, the Chaos Origin was clearly trying to escape.

  Qin Luo Yi ignored it and walked straight to Mu Rong Yue's side, who was still lying on the ground after being slapped by it and vomiting blood.

  Murong Jue's face turned deathly pale as he stared at her in shock: "You actually obtained the Origin of Chaos!"

  "Tell me, who is he!" Qin Luo Yi's gaze locked onto him, saying coldly.

  "Cough!"

  Murong Chui coughed heavily and spat out a mouthful of blood.

  Originally thought to be in an absolute advantage, killing Qin Luoyi was as easy as turning over one's hand, but unexpectedly she actually brought those two exotic beasts into the Ice Domain, and even obtained the Heaven-Defying Treasure of Chaos Origin.

  "How did you bring them in?" He didn't respond to Qin Luoyi's words, his dim and shocked gaze fell on Hei Di and Da Hei. What he couldn't have imagined was that the strength of the alien beasts beside her was so powerful, just one palm had injured him, the tendons and bones on his body were severely fractured, even his five internal organs were displaced.

  Thinking of this, a wry smile escaped his lips. It was also because he had seen the source of chaos and was too excited to be on guard that he was hit by its palm.

  He didn't know that if it wasn't for knowing that Qin Luo was going to dig out the mastermind from his mouth, Hei Di would have turned him into mush long ago, and he wouldn't even have a life left.

  "This has nothing to do with you, tell me... who is that person." Qin Luo Yi didn't answer his question and coldly opened her mouth again.

  However, in order to avoid being burned by Murong's absolute jade stone, she still kept a safe distance from him and didn't dare get too close.

  "I won't tell you." At this point, Murong knew that he was in a precarious situation and feared that even if he begged for mercy, Qin Luoyi would not spare his life, simply because he knew too many of her secrets.

  Huang Shi Jing Yuan, the origin of chaos, and yet she can bring two exotic beasts into this icy domain... Hehe, if people knew, it would be enough to kill her ten or a hundred times over.
