Chapter 80: One Cry Shocks Heaven

  "Heavens! That little genius from the Du family has lost!"

  "It's unbelievable! That's a high-ranking master of the first stage of martial arts! Two rounds and he was beaten to the point of vomiting blood!"

  "What cultivation level is that Anping County Master? Did any of you see it just now? How come there's no spiritual power fluctuation on her body now?"

  "It's a bit strange, fortunately we didn't rush up first... To be able to defeat Du family's little genius, Anping Junzhu's cultivation should be higher than hers."

  "Anping Junzhu wasn't unable to cultivate before, so how did she suddenly have the spiritual power to entice a beautiful martial artist?"

  ……

  Under the moonlit fog, due to Du Yuxiang's injury, everyone was shocked and whispered among themselves, their astonished gazes shifting between Qin Luoyi and Du Yuxiang, who had been helped up but couldn't stop coughing up blood.

  Qin Luo Yi wore a white dress, standing calmly in the empty space, her face was crystal clear, black hair fluttering, eyes shining like black gemstones, eyebrows curved, and her whole body exuded an absolute beauty that combined elegance and charm, causing the surrounding young men to feel a strong shock in their hearts, their eyes burning with passion.

  "Sister, sister, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your brother!" In contrast to Qin Luoyi's proud and beautiful appearance at this time, Du Yudie on the other side was even more disheveled. The blood in her mouth had been gushing out non-stop since she got injured, and even after eating a fifth-grade healing pill taken out by Shan Yang Hu Zi, it didn't work. Her face turned deathly pale, and she seemed to be exhaling more than inhaling, rolling up her eyes.

  He held her tightly, his usually calm face revealing a rare look of panic, as he repeatedly called out to his sister.

  "Hurry up and give her a few more elixirs!" The goat-bearded man was so anxious that he jumped up and down, unable to think of how the opponent he had thought would be easily defeated turned out to be so formidable.

  He took out the storage ring and poured out all the elixir bottles inside. As the eldest of the Du family, he had lived for nearly a hundred years, fortunately, there were still many spiritual elixirs on his body.

  Another two fourth-grade healing pills were fed into Du Yuzhui's mouth, and Du Lengmo's face turned black with a cold expression, taking out one of the fourth-grade healing pills from his storage ring as well.

  This was the highest grade healing pill on him, and he had spent a lot of his savings when he bought it. It was originally prepared for emergencies, but now, in order to save his sister, he couldn't bear to hesitate anymore.

  Seeing Du Lengmo's actions, Du Lengye, who was also furious and had red eyes, came to his senses and quickly took out a four-product wound-healing pill from his body and fed it into Du Yuzhui's mouth together.

  "Brother... I... I'm done for..." Du Yutian struggled to blink: "My heart pulse has stopped... Don't waste those medicinal pills anymore... It's no use..."

  After she finished speaking, she shifted her resentful gaze to Qin Luoyi in front of her. The white figure under the sunlight was stunningly beautiful, and his demeanor was truly unmatched by anyone.

  "Cousin sister!"

  Chu Yixiu, who was originally standing behind the emperor, walked over. Even from a distance, he noticed that Du Yuzheng seemed somewhat off.

  "Older brother!"

  In Du Yu's scattered eyes, he saw Wen Ruyu approaching with a warm and gentle expression, his eyes filled with worry. Suddenly, his vision brightened, and he trembled as he stretched out his slender and weak fingers towards him.

  Chu Yixiu's eyes flashed, and he quickly took a few steps to catch her. Du Yuzhui fell weakly into his arms, closed her eyes, and whispered softly: "Brother... I can die in your arms, Yuzhui..."

  Before she could finish speaking, her head suddenly dropped heavily and she stopped breathing.

  "Cousin! Cousin!" Chu Yixiu's heart skipped a beat as he hastily called out twice.

  No one answered him.

  Chu Yixiu raised his head and looked at Qin Luoyi in the empty space, his dark eyes deep and cold.

  The goat's beard is covered with gray dust.

  Du Lengmo closed his eyes, clenched his fists tightly, and let them hang by his side. He didn't dare to believe that Yu Die, who was still jumping around just a moment ago, was gone.

  "Sister!" Du Leng Ye was stunned for a moment, then finally came back to his senses, let out a loud roar, and rushed towards Qin Luo Yi like lightning, gnashing his teeth and glaring at her: "You actually severed her heart meridian... Qin Luo Yi, you have such a ruthless heart, you actually killed my sister!"

  The surroundings were silent, and the onlookers' eyes widened even more. They had originally thought that Du Yuxiang was just injured... but they didn't expect her to be gone in such a short moment!

  Those young people in the Bright Moon Pavilion, who almost signed a life-and-death contract to join the Piaoyou Sect, couldn't help but look at each other in dismay, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.

  "Was I ruthless?" Qin Luo Yi glanced at Du Leng Ye, who was furious beyond compare, raised an eyebrow and sighed, saying with great regret: "Young Master Du, just now if Miss Du hadn't tried to kill me... in the heat of the moment, my hand wouldn't have lost its restraint."

  But in his heart, he couldn't help but sneer coldly.

  Just when they first fought, she didn't intend to take Du Yuxiang's life, but only shocked her back a few steps. Everyone here saw it, and it was Du Yuxiang who was too ruthless and wanted to take her life, so she had no choice but to counterattack...

  Du Leng Ye's face turned iron-green, her heart churning with rage, she was so furious that she wished to tear this damned woman into pieces on the spot.

  She did it on purpose.

  He knows.

  This woman was seeking revenge because he and his sister had once sent someone to take her life in the suburbs, so she took such drastic measures!

  "In a moment of desperation, you've lost all sense of propriety... Who would believe such nonsense?" He furiously shouted at Qin Luo Yi: "Today, I will definitely make you pay with your life for my sister!" With a whooshing sound, he drew out his sword, its icy tip pointing straight at Qin Luo Yi.

  Qin's eyes flashed with disdain, but his eyebrows furrowed slightly, looking very troubled.

  Ge Zhangmen let out a cold snort, his eyes icy as he stared at him: "You want my disciple to take the blame for your sister's death? What was the point of signing that life-and-death contract just now, just for show?"

  A powerful aura emanated from him, and Du Leng Ye's face turned pale as he stumbled and almost fell to his knees.

  The goat whiskers rushed up, apologizing to Ge Zhangmen non-stop while pulling him back and scolding him: "Leng Ye, what nonsense are you talking about? Ge said it right, Yu Die did sign a life-and-death contract, this matter can't be blamed on the county master."

  Ge Zhangmen's face looked a bit better.

  Du Leng Ye didn't want to back down, and Shan Yang Hu Zi was so anxious that he almost jumped up. Not to mention the contract they had just signed, even if they hadn't signed it, at this time, they couldn't go looking for trouble with Qin Luo Yi either. Her master was still standing there, and if he got dissatisfied, one slap from him could kill Du Leng Ye, and no one would dare say anything about it.

  Du Lengmo also came up and wanted to pull Du Lengye down. Although he was heartbroken over Yu Die's departure, he still had some rationality.

  Among the Du family brothers and sisters, Leng Ye and Yu Die were biological siblings, of similar age, and often practiced together, so their feelings for each other were not ordinary. However, this was not a time when he could be reckless; he didn't want Leng Mo to throw away his life in vain again.

  The cultivation of the goat beard and Du Lengmo were higher than that of Du Lengye, but at this time Du Lengye was in a state of fury, using force to struggle free from the restraint of the two, and ran back to Qin Luoyi's face again.

  "Life and death contract?" He sneered coldly: "I also want to join the Piaoyou Sect, Qin Luoyi, I want to challenge you."

  Qin Luoyi looked at him and smiled: "Anyone who wants to join the young disciples of Piaomiao Sect can challenge me. Just now, my master has already said that I accept your challenge, however..."

  She raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Xiong Sha, slightly raising her chin and saying in a crisp voice: "First sign the life-and-death contract. I won't fight with anyone who hasn't signed the life-and-death contract."

  "Alright, I'll sign!" Du Leng Ye turned around and walked towards Xiong Sha, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.

  "Cold night!"

  The goat-bearded man and Du Lengmo stepped forward to block his way again, Qin Luoyi's agreement was too quick, both of them felt that something was off.

  Especially the goat beard, Du Yu Die was the one who let him go forward to challenge. Speaking of Du Yu Die's death, he couldn't get rid of the relationship... Yan Zhuo made a mistake once, and he couldn't just watch as Leng Ye had another accident. The three houses' Du Leng Ye and Du Yu Die, as well as the second house's Du Leng Mo, were the most outstanding disciples of the Du family in this generation.

  "Second brother, Seventeenth Uncle, don't stop me. Today I must compete with her." Du Leng Ye gritted his teeth, looking at Qin Luo Yi in the arena.

  Qin's eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule, as if mocking him for only daring to speak empty words.

  In an instant, a surge of evil fire burst out from his heart, and he picked up the Life-and-Death Contract beside Xiong Sha. With a few swift strokes, he signed his own name on it, his eyes filled with boundless fury.

  Qin Luoyi had injured his sister, but he didn't believe it. Qin Luoyi could have injured him, and he had just realized that Qin Luoyi's spiritual power was not much higher than his sister's. His sister had just advanced to the initial stage of Wushi and her realm was still unstable. She had been careless for a moment and suffered at Qin Luoyi's hands. He, on the other hand, had already advanced to the Wushi realm several years ago and was now in the high stage of Wushi. Dealing with Qin Luoyi was more than enough!

  He must avenge his sister and let this woman accompany his sister on the road to the Yellow Springs...

  The goat-bearded man looked at the signed life-and-death contract, sighed, and warned him to be careful before retreating. Du Lengmo's expression was also very solemn as he patted his shoulder.

  Looking at Du Leng Ye standing in front of her with a sword in hand, Qin Luo Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of profound smile.

  Du Yucui got into trouble, Du Lengye came to fight with her, it was within her expectation. Before leaving, she could settle these two people, her mood was truly refreshing, haha, in the future cultivation, there will be one less heart demon, and the cultivation will surely go smoothly.

  Enemies meet, eyes turn red, Du Lengye takes the stage and strikes ruthlessly. The flying sword flashes with cold light, swirling with boundless spiritual energy, covering the sky and earth as it attacks Qin Luo Yi.

  The crowd of onlookers quickly retreated tens of meters away, afraid of being accidentally injured by the reckless spiritual energy.

  Qin's clothes fluttered as she gazed at Du Lengye with a hint of a smile, her eyes narrowed. She activated her heart method, allowing her spiritual energy to circulate freely - of course, in order to mislead Du Lengye and exhaust herself, she still held back somewhat. The strength she revealed was only comparable to Du Lengye's, making it seem to the onlookers that she too had a high-level warrior's cultivation, no stronger than Du Lengye. Yet even so, it was truly astonishing.

  Bang!

  "Boom!"

  Qin's falling clothes burst out with spiritual energy, and Du Lengye's flying sword fiercely collided with each other, producing a deafening sound that shook the air, kicking up clouds of smoke and dust. The two figures simultaneously retreated dozens of meters backward.

  "Both are high-ranking martial artists, this is going to be a great show!" The onlookers' eyes lit up, and they began to discuss in hushed tones, their eyes fixed intently on the two figures standing in the empty space.

  The goat's whiskers wrinkled his eyebrows, and his expression was tense beyond measure.

  Du Leng let out a cold hum, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes. His earlier full-force strike, which had been slightly held back, finally revealed Qin Luoyi's true abilities.

  Unexpectedly, he was on par with Qin Luoyi, who was usually at the pinnacle of martial arts... Such strength left him astonished, but it also gave him more confidence. Defeating Qin Luoyi shouldn't be a big problem!

  Her body flashed again like lightning, her fingers pinched several complex hand seals in front of her, and the icy sword suddenly became extremely dazzling. She struck Qin Luoyi once more, seeking to hit him with one blow, just as she had done to her own sister earlier.

  Qin's pupils contracted and his body quickly retreated backwards, preparing to dodge his full-force attack.

  Thinking that victory was in sight, Du Leng Ye couldn't let her get away and attacked even faster, pouncing on her like a shadow.

  Qin Luo Yi couldn't help but secretly laugh coldly. As he retreated backwards, he took out a silver dagger and used it to parry Du Leng Ye's frenzied attacks.

  The dagger was too short, only about one-third of Du Lengye's long sword. Qin Luoyi already looked quite embarrassed, and the onlookers around him gasped in shock. However, Qin Luoyi had dodged several fatal attacks in a row, and after a moment, his dagger suddenly plunged into Du Lengye's heart at an incredible speed and angle.

  Heaven!

  "How is this possible!"

  "Am I seeing things?!"

  "Another genius of the Du family was killed by the Princess of Anping!"

  ……

  As Du Lengye let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground, the onlookers' mouths were agape in disbelief, staring at Qin Luoyi with eyes wide with shock.

  The goat-bearded man rushed up with a ghastly pale face, and together with Du Lengmo, who looked equally terrible, they helped Du Lengye up. His hands trembled slightly as he touched his nose.

  "Cold night!"

  Du Leng Ye had stopped breathing.

  The goat whiskers almost fainted. The two geniuses of the Du family, who had not yet had time to show off their skills on the Holy Dragon Continent, fell here today!

  The emperor, who had come out in a simple attire from afar, watched this scene and rubbed his temples with some headache.

  Du Leng Ye and Du Yu Die were two nephews from her maternal family whom Xian Guifei liked the most.

  Turning around, he looked at Zhen Nan Wang with a hint of a smile and said: "My dear, the winner is indeed your daughter... This daughter of yours, if she doesn't make a move, it's fine, but today, she made one, haha, it's really shocking!"

  King Zhen Nan smiled slightly: "Your Majesty's praise is excessive!" But his eyes couldn't hide the joyful and proud look.

  The emperor shook his head and sighed, "These two children of the Du family have some talent, but unfortunately they lack experience. They are arrogant and do things without knowing what is appropriate. Today, they signed a life-and-death contract to compete with others, if they die, it will be a pointless death."

  There's also Du family's Seventeenth Uncle, who saw the Penglai Fairy Island and got dizzy today. He didn't even manage to stop the two family disciples from going forward to try their luck. Doesn't he think that someone who can make the master of Penglai Fairy Island accept him as a closed-door disciple would be far superior? Yet he dared to take on the role of the sacrificial bird!

  The Crown Prince Chu Yi stood behind the Emperor from start to finish, without speaking, his expression was unpredictable, and his gaze at Qin Luo's clothes was complex and difficult to understand.

  "Is there anyone among you who wants to try out with my disciple?" Ge Zhangmen didn't even glance at the dead Du Lengye, his profound and sharp gaze turned towards the young generation of Sheng Long who had just followed from Mingyue Pavilion, wanting to join the Xiangxu Sect.

  No one dared to move forward, and those who were swept by his gaze couldn't help but lower their heads, with a hint of shame on their faces.

  Du Leng Ye is the strongest among them, unless they want to die, who dares to go up there!

  Ge Zhangmen's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction, standing with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering in the wind, he glanced at Qin Luoyi beside him.

  That's settled, that girl killed two people in a row, intimidating these people. From now on, on the Holy Dragon Continent, who dares to say that his disciple is a waste? Innate Sacred Body, for millions of years, who dares to say that the Innate Sacred Body is a waste?

  Shen Yi Gu Gu Zhu Shang Guan Hong hesitated for a moment, then pulled his daughter Guan Qiuyu forward and bowed to him with great respect.

  "Senior!"

  Ge Zhangmen's eyes narrowed dangerously: "You want her to compare with my disciple?"

  "No!" Upper official Hong hastily shook his head and explained: "Senior, my daughter greatly admires you and hopes to become your disciple..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Ge Zhangmen impatiently waved his hand: "I said, if you want to join my Piaomiao Sect, go challenge my gatekeeper disciple, first... sign the life and death contract!"

  Another one came to meet his maker!

  He could see at a glance that the girl in front of him was only a beginner in martial arts, and she was no match for Upper Garment.

  Shangguan Hong's face showed a hint of embarrassment: "This... senior, my daughter is not as talented as the young lady of Anping County. With the young lady of Anping County's current talent, she is indeed one of the outstanding ones among her peers."

  "Enough! Don't go on!" Ge Zhangmen interrupted him impatiently once again.

  Shangguan Hong's face turned red with embarrassment, as the master of Shenyi Valley, renowned for his alchemy and medical skills throughout the Sacred Dragon Continent. When had he ever been treated this way? It was always others who came to him... Even the Emperor of Chu treated him with courtesy, honoring him as a distinguished guest.

  But today, for the sake of my daughter's future, I have to put aside my old face and go. The master of Penglai Fairy Island has arrived, this is a rare opportunity!

  "Senior, my daughter's spiritual cultivation may be slightly inferior to that of the Anping County Princess, but she has been refining pills since childhood and has a natural talent for it..." He puffed out his chest as he spoke, looking extremely proud of his daughter.

  Alchemists are rare, not only in the Holy Dragon Continent but also in Penglai. Alchemists, especially high-ranking ones, are extremely scarce.

  "Will she be able to refine the elixir?" Ge Zhengyuan's eyebrows rose at the words, and a hint of a smile flashed across his deep eyes.

  "Yes!" Upper Official Hong thought there was something to it and hastily replied. Even Upper Official Autumn Rain's heart was filled with joy, her clear and cold gaze swept over Qin Luo Yi once.

  "Then let's not compare our spiritual powers. You and my disciple can have a dan-making competition instead!" said Ge Zhangmen, stroking his chin.

  "Better than refining elixirs?" Upper Official Hong's pupils contracted, and he opened his eyes wide to stare at Qin Luo Yi: "The county master also knows how to refine elixirs?"

  Shangguan Qiuyu was also shocked and looked at her with suspicion in his eyes.

  "You only know a little bit about it!" Qin Luo Yi blinked and smiled slightly: "Miss Shangguan wants to compete with me in alchemy?"

  Shangguan Qiuyu pursed her lips, just about to speak, when Ge Zhangmen suddenly said: "Forget it, even alchemy is too time-consuming. Just tell me directly how many levels of dan medicine you can refine, and I'll see if there's any need for comparison."

  "Senior, I can now refine fourth-grade elixirs." Shangguan Qiuyu said in a crisp voice, with a flash of pride flickering at the bottom of her eyes.

  Her father had told her that on the continent of Saint Dragon, at her age, there hadn't been a single fourth-grade alchemist!

  After finishing speaking, she looked at Ge Zhangmen with a full face of expectation, and Shangguan Hong was also.

  She had thought that Ge Zheng would be shocked and lavish in his praise of her talent, but instead he furrowed his brow, shook his head and said: "Fourth-grade elixir? The grade is so low! Forget it, there's no need to test you."

  Shangguan Qiuyu's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Her alchemy level was too low, how could it be possible?

  Gritting her teeth and holding back a breath, she said: "Senior, I wonder how many grades of elixirs the young mistress can refine now?" She didn't believe it, Qin Luoyi's refinement level was higher than hers!

  Shangguan Hong also had a look of surprise and uncertainty. In his heart, he secretly thought, could it be that Ge Zhangmen heard about the level of his daughter's alchemy and knew that Qin Luoyi couldn't compare to her, so he regretted it?

  Thinking of this, his eyes flashed, and he didn't stop his daughter's questioning at the first time, because he also wanted to know.

  Ge Zhangmen glanced at the father and daughter, saying lightly: "You doubt my words? I said no need to compare, but you still want to ask... Since that's the case, fine. Jian Xiazi, tell them how many levels of dan medicine the girl can refine now."

  He threw this problem to Jian Yuyan.

  Jian Yu Yan smiled slightly, glanced at Qin Luo Yi, and then shifted her gaze back to Shang Guan Qiu Yu's face: "All the seventh-grade elixirs sold in Ming Yue Pavilion were refined by Princess An Ping."

  "Are the seven-tiered elixirs in Mingyue Pavilion all refined by Princess Anping?"

  "My goodness! Such a high-grade elixir was actually refined by a young girl in her teens! Is this still human?"

  "Impossible! Did I hear that wrong...? Hit me a few times to wake me up, how did I just hear Jian Shaozhu say that Anping Junzhu has refined the 7th grade elixir?!"

  "You didn't hear wrong, that's what Young Master Jian said!"

  ……

  A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Jian Yu's words fell, causing the onlookers to cry out in astonishment.

  Those who gathered in the capital of Chu State from the Holy Dragon Continent to buy the Seventh-Order Dan medicine also came to the foot of the Moon Mist Mountain, and now they all looked at Qin Luo Yi with extremely hot eyes. The Bright Moon Pavilion had been keeping the identity of the Seventh-Order Alchemist a secret for a long time, but today, they finally knew!

  Shangguan Qiuyu's body swayed, the usual clear and cold arrogance in his eyes faded away, his face turned pale, staring at Qin Luoyi with a look of being greatly shocked.

  "Lingyun, you've really got me fooled!" The emperor's chin almost dropped to the ground, and it wasn't until after a while that he came back to his senses, smiling ambiguously at Qin Lingyun.

  Qin Lingyun bitterly smiled: "Your Majesty, I know you probably don't believe me, but...I still have to say, this...I just found out too!"

  The Crown Prince Chu Yi fiercely stared at the woman who was now the focus of attention from thousands of people, his narrow and long phoenix eyes filled with surprise, anger, and joy, and finally, a complex mix of emotions transformed into endless doting...
