Chapter Thirteen, Provocation

  Towering city buildings stand at the center, with houses and shops densely packed on either side. There are teahouses, wine shops, and inns. The stores sell silk, jewelry, spices, incense, paper horses, and other goods. Large store entrances are decorated with "colorful buildings and joyful gates", and hang signs and flags.

  Pedestrians throng the streets, rubbing shoulders and treading on each other's heels, with a constant flow of people. There are merchants doing business, gentlemen viewing the street scenes, officials riding horses, vendors calling out their wares, wealthy families being carried in sedan chairs, monks carrying packs on their backs, and young aristocrats drinking wildly in wine houses. It can be said that all nine classes of people are present, making this a truly vibrant scene. This is the scenery within the inner city, which has fewer people than the outer city but is even more grand and luxurious.

  Qin Hao heard that the three bandits appeared here because they had robbed the treasury of Yunchuan country, and then knocked out a military officer and escaped. However, Yunchuan country immediately sent a message to Da Jiao, and it happened that Xuanji Laodao was in Yunchuan country at that time, so he broke through the void and came here, resulting in this scene.

  "It's not unlucky to run into this bandit." The two entered the inner city, found a wine house, and ordered a private room. Qin Hao immediately calculated with his fingers and understood that he had encountered a disaster star. Fortunately, he was lucky and narrowly avoided this disaster.

  "How could I have forgotten that guy's gloomy face?" Qin Hao said indignantly.

  "My ninth brother, you are now a member of the bandit alliance." Huayang lady sneered.

  Upon hearing this, Qin Hao suddenly remembered the token and took it out to examine it. The nine characters on its surface were made of an unknown material that was incredibly hard; no matter how hard he pinched it, he couldn't budge it. Moreover, a fierce aura emanated from it, and around the nine characters was engraved a dragon pattern, exuding a powerful and intimidating presence.

  "This is the Black Dragon Token of the Bandit Alliance, all bandits in the East see this token and must surrender. It's a must-have for the leader of the Bandit Alliance." Madam Huayang explained.

  "Bandit?" Qin Hao's heart was filled with frustration. What a joke, being the ninth master was simply a disaster, he couldn't believe that he could actually become a glorious bandit, something that was almost extinct in his world.

  "According to rumors from Wan Shi Tong, Ming Wang's tomb is in our Izumo country."

  "What's in Izumo Province?"

  At this moment, several murmurs came from downstairs, and both Qin Hao heard them in their ears, but they didn't speak, only holding tea cups, each thinking about something.

  "Really, Yun City has recently had many big shots. Just now at the city gate, those few people are all famous existences." "You're talking about the Elusive Young Master? And that bandit San? And that Great Holy Emperor?"

  "Nature, unexpectedly that wandering young master, turned out to be the ninth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is said that he can take a punch from Fei San without getting hurt, and Fei San almost took him in as a member of the bandit alliance."

  "Can it be said that this is sufficient proof that the tomb of Emperor Meiji is in Izumo Province?"

  "Of course not. Besides this ethereal young master, I heard that the ninth-ranked genius of the Tianxia List, Xu Kongjin, has also arrived and is currently at the Chuyun Gate."

  "Void is exhausted!!!"

  Mentioning this name, those people couldn't help but feel a little intimidated, knowing that even the Void could walk under the feet of the King's Cultivator.

  "I don't know who's more formidable between this Void and the Elusive Young Master."

  "I don't know, there's a rumor that Qin Hao is also in Izumo, and he's been through another ordeal. Now many talented individuals have arrived in Izumo, and in a few days it will be the Kyumon Alliance Meeting, I wonder what will happen."

  "There's also the Mystic Door, and it's said that Qin Hao is from the Mystic Door. I don't know if he'll come this time, but if the Ming Wang's tomb really appears in the Cloud Country, then there will be a good show to watch. At that time, who knows, maybe some rare treasures will appear, and we can also get a share of the luck."

  "Take advantage of the situation, Da Jiao will absolutely not let anyone desecrate Ming Wang's tomb. At that time, many big shots from the Northern Dipper Seven Sects will come, and our cultivation is not even enough to fill a gap between teeth."

  Upon hearing this, both Qin Hao and the other person were puzzled. Who exactly was it that had such abilities to think of linking Ming Wang's tomb to the Out Cloud Country? Was it a coincidence or did the Out Cloud Gate intentionally spread the news?

  "It's definitely not the Yuntian Gate, so it can only be that Omnipotent one." Having figured this out, Qin Hao was still shocked by the energy of this Omnipotent.

  Lady Huayang thought differently, her main goal was to keep an eye on Qin Hao and not let him cause trouble. The Ming Wang's tomb must be obtained by the Great Teachings, she absolutely would not allow Qin Hao to become the foundation of the Yunmen Sect, otherwise it would be a great disaster for the Great Teachings.

  In the following days, Lady Huayang followed Qin Hao closely, wherever he went. Qin Hao was delighted to be carefree and strolled around Yun City. However, every night, he would gaze out at the exit of the city, lost in thought. Lady Huayang didn't find it strange, as Qin Hao's expression resembled that of someone missing their loved ones.

  Moreover, every time Qin Hao came to his senses, he would say a sentence: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed, gazing at the frost on the ground." This made Huayang Furen puzzled, wondering how such a person could come up with such an excellent verse, only to find that the location was slightly different. Why use "bed" instead of "window"?

  After some thought, Madame Hua Yang realized that this must be a lewd poem. Why else would it use the word "bed"? If Li Bai knew what Madame Hua Yang was thinking, he would have been so angry that he would have jumped out of his grave.

  In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and Yun City has gathered countless cultivators, among whom are many monarch-level cultivators. More of them are indeed extraordinary geniuses from various sects, each opening their mouths to kill Qin Hao, closing their mouths to turn Qin Hao into flying ash, as if Qin Hao was his father, always hanging on their lips.

  And all of this, Qin Hao saw with his own eyes, but he didn't react in the slightest, still staring blankly in the direction of the Yunmen Gate. This made Huayang Furen even more puzzled - this guy was someone who couldn't even get sand out of his eyes, and yet now that so many people were clamoring to tear him limb from limb and scatter his ashes, he could actually bear it.

  It's been several days, and the number of powerful individuals gathering in Yun City has increased. They can be seen everywhere, even in taverns. The inn where they are staying has several geniuses, and this time, even the demon tribe has sent representatives. Three of the seven kings of the demon tribe have arrived, including the Peacock King. Unexpectedly, after that one calamity, the Peacock King has also reached the peak of the king's realm, just one step away from entering the holy king realm.

  Later came Pengmo Wang and Jiaomo Wang, both of whom were peak existences known as kings. The demon tribe was much stronger than the human tribe, and when they reached the peak, their abilities could rival those of the three holy kings. So it can be said that the three demon kings were equivalent to the three holy kings of the human tribe. Most importantly, this time the genius of the demon tribe also came along.

  Nine young saints of the demon clan have arrived, five of whom are already here. One of them is a woman who is stunningly beautiful and surprisingly the holy maiden of the Tian Hu clan of the demon tribe. This has caused the geniuses of the human race to be so enraged that they cannot contain themselves. If it weren't for the presence of three demon kings who are as powerful as gods of death, they would have probably taken advantage of the gentle and virtuous lady already.

  However, the human side is not weak either. The holy maiden of the Tian Xiang Pavilion in Zhongtu has arrived, with a fragrance that wafts for miles around her body, and a veil covering her face. It's said that this person is the number one beauty in Zhongtu, and her strength is unfathomable. Born with charm, she is accompanied by several princes from various dynasties of Zhongtu, each of whom are figures on the Tian Bang ranking.

  Her appearance instantly formed a contrast with the holy maiden of the Tianhu clan, and although the two were not in a hurry, the pursuers from the demon and human tribes had already begun to secretly compete with each other. It is said that they will have a trial in the Tianhe River in Yun City, and both saintly maidens will attend, which is even more lively than the Nine Gates Alliance held by the Chu Yunmen.

  As for this, Qin Hao seemed as if his eyes were not stained with worldly dust and his ears did not hear mundane affairs, with a saintly appearance, he continued to gaze at the exit of the Out Cloud Gate in a daze.

  "Aren't you going to join in the fun?" Madame Huayang finally couldn't help but speak up, for so many days, Qin Hao had been staring out of this window, lost in thought, and she had no idea what he was thinking.

  "Red dust skull, all is empty." Qin Hao replied unusually to Madame Hua Yang, with Buddhist logic and Zen machine.

  "Are you still paying respects to the Buddha?" Madame Huayang was no longer surprised, Qin Hao always managed to come up with a few classic phrases. What she found surprising was that Qin Hao wouldn't have any connections with the Western Pure Land either.

  "Not at all, not at all. With a beauty like you here, why bother seeking afar?" Qin Hao suddenly lifted his head, the daze on his face fading away, replaced by a smile.

  At this moment, Madame Huayang even had a feeling that her heart was beating faster than before, which she had never experienced before, no matter who she faced.

  She felt a little flustered and even her breathing was slightly rapid, she thought to herself, if he were to force the issue now, would she still be able to resist? However, this thought only flashed by, but her face turned slightly red.

  All of this, Qin Hao saw with his own eyes, but he didn't say a word. Instead, he turned his head back and continued to be lost in thought.

  Just then, a shrill voice came over.

  "Qin Hao, get out here, I know you're in Yun City. You insignificant person, if you hand over the Intoxication Illusion Technique, I'll spare your life."

  The normally calm and composed Huayang Madame suddenly discovered that Qin Hao had looked over, and a fierce killing intent burst out from his body. She found it somewhat strange, as in the past few days, those great talents of the Tian Jiao had also been shouting, but hadn't seen Qin Hao have any reaction. Yet now, as soon as Qin Hao heard this voice, he revealed a killing intent.

  "Aren't you afraid to come out, you coward? Are you only able to survive under a woman's protection?"

  At this time, more and more people gathered to watch, including a great teacher, an extraordinary genius, and even an extraordinary demon. On the side of the demon tribe, apart from several saintesses, several young demon kings also came out.

  "Peacock King Uncle, I'll go and kill him." A small saint of the demon tribe stood up, full of murderous intent, but Peacock King stopped him.

  "If you dare to come out, I will slap you to death with one palm, and not even leave your whole corpse behind. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that our sect has already gone to investigate your background. Don't think that just because Mingyue Xiang is protecting the Mystic Gate, no one can grasp your handle. When our sect finds out about your entire family, we will definitely make sure that your whole family dies!!" The unparalleled genius of Tianzhou Sect continued to shout loudly.

  At this time, Lady Huayang discovered that Qin Hao's murderous intent was becoming more and more intense...

  I just read the book review on mobile web and felt depressed, probably because the book title was changed, so the update is not synchronized. If you can't see it, everyone can go to 17K main station to take a look...
