Chapter 23, Dead Light

  Qing Xuan was holding the Void Jade in his hand, and he couldn't contain his excitement. These things would probably allow the Taishang Elder's strength to increase by a level. After all, these were all from the Great Sect, far better than anything from the Mystic Gate, especially the Yuan Stone, which was currently the thing that the Mystic Gate lacked the most, but now they didn't lack it anymore.

  Looking at Qingxuan's excited appearance, Qin Hao smiled and took another step forward. The distance between them was only a hair's breadth apart, which made Qingxuan's face slightly red and flustered. However, in the next moment, a strand of pure purple gas appeared in Qin Hao's hand, and before she could react, he pointed it at Qingxuan's brow.

  At that moment, the green swirling aura once again merged with the yellow, giving birth to a profound and majestic atmosphere that seemed to surpass even the blue color. However, Qin Hao manipulated his internal energy to transform and conceal it, changing the color of the green swirling aura back to its original state, thus avoiding drawing attention to himself. But all of this happened without Qing Xuan noticing; she still thought Qin Hao was trying to do something intimate with her. Yet, when Qin Hao's fingers touched her brow, she felt a surge of comfort and relaxation throughout her entire body.

  That feeling is hard to describe, it's as if everything goes smoothly and easily, this is the result of a change in luck. People say that optimistic people generally have good luck, because those with bad tempers naturally have no connection with good fortune, always carrying a burden on their backs.

  If one day you're extremely unlucky, then it's time to laugh it off. Even if something unfortunate happens, you shouldn't complain, but rather just laugh it off and move on. This way, good fortune will follow you. As for the strange luck of Qing Xuan, someone has been secretly manipulating things - clearly that King Xiu monk doesn't want the Mystic Door to become even stronger, so he's making a move against the successor.

  Unfortunately, however, it was seen through by Qin Hao, and this little trick was simply a joke to a master like Qin Hao who had a thorough understanding of the flow of energy.

  After doing all this, Qin Hao was about to retreat when he found that Qing Xuan's face had turned bright red, and the fragrance of a young girl entered his nostrils. Her delicate face made people want to gaze at her tenderly.

  A blushing woman is the most beautiful, this sentence is indeed well said. Blushing is everyone's nature and a natural expression from the heart, without any disguise or pretence.

  He had an impulse to kiss her, but finally restrained himself.

  The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward, but this time Qing Xuan broke the silence: "Senior brother, how should I explain things to Xiaoyu when I get back? The sect leader might suspect something."

  "It doesn't matter, just say that you met me and didn't like the look of Xiaoyu, so you took her away. I'll take care of that self-proclaimed king for you." Qin Hao said nonchalantly.

  But Qing Xuan was a bit skeptical, thinking that Qin Hao was just joking. She secretly made up her mind to say that Xiaoyu had run away and wasn't at the Huixian Gate. In fact, it didn't make much difference what she said, as Qin Hao wouldn't care either way.

  Afterwards, Qin Hao revealed some things and then left, leaving only Qing Xuan alone in a daze. The two disciples also came back to their senses, but it seemed like an illusion, and the memories of just now had all disappeared. Apparently, Qin Hao had sealed their souls.

  As soon as Qin Hao returned to the inn, Huayang immediately found him and looked very anxious: "Did you do something last night?"

  "What? Haven't I been under your surveillance all along, what can I do? Moreover, with my drunk appearance, what do you think I can do?" Qin Hao smiled slyly at Madame Huayang.

  Madam Huayang raised an eyebrow, glared at him and said: "Yesterday you boasted that you would kill the twelve geniuses, but last night those geniuses all died overnight. Now many people are pointing their eyes at you because you once said you wanted them to lead the way in death."

  "What?!" Qin Hao was shocked, and only after careful inquiry did he learn that last night, all twelve geniuses had been beaten to dust. If not for the remaining aura, it would have seemed as if they had vanished into thin air. Those geniuses were at least at the peak of the Beautiful Crowned King Realm, yet they were killed so easily. Coincidentally, Qin Hao had also declared that he would make them take their own lives in ten days' time, and thus this crime was pinned on Qin Hao's head.

  However, Qin Hao was only surprised and didn't care who killed them. He thought to himself that it was a pity those people could have turned into purple gas, but at least they were eliminated, getting rid of some eyesores for him.

  If Huayang Madame were to know Qin Hao's thoughts, she would surely faint from anger. But even so, she was anxious: "How do you plan to deal with this?"

  "It's none of my business if he's dead. This should be a big lesson for him, anyway I didn't do it, why should I take the blame?" Qin Hao thought to himself.

  "But now everyone outside thinks it was you who killed him." Madame Huayang said coldly.

  "I let them die, that's also ten days later, not now. They love to chatter, I can't shut their mouths." Qin Hao closed his eyes and started meditating, he didn't care at all, he was thinking about the Ming Wang tomb.

  "..." Lady Huayang was speechless, outside was almost chaotic, but Qin Hao was still so carefree.

  "Get out here, you wandering young master!" Just then, a voice came over and several terrifying auras locked onto the inn, clearly belonging to the King of Cultivators.

  "Hmph." Qin Hao was enraged, and indeed didn't want to provoke trouble, but the matter came to provoke him anyway. He suddenly became furious, his blood boiling over, and stepped out, only to see five or six so-called "king" cultivators glaring at him with anger in their eyes, among whom were a few hiding on the side, apparently all of them were those geniuses' guardians.

  Such a move suddenly shocked countless people, and several kings' monks joined forces to suppress Qin Hao, but Qin Hao was not afraid at all, with his soaring blood and energy opposing them.

  The momentum of the six-crowned King's Repairman was actually evenly matched with Qin Hao, which surprised many people. What kind of cultivation did this "Ethereal Young Master" have?

  "I've already said it, the young master of my house has not made a move." Huayang Madame also flew out, calling Wang Dianfeng's momentum burst, instantly presenting a one-sided situation.

  "Hmph, you're deceiving people too much." Just then, several more King's Monks arrived, apparently the ones from the Great Church had made their move. The previous ones were obviously from the Royal Court, but in reality they also feared those three Demon Kings, as well as Qian Bo Guang and Fei San who had been lurking around Yun City.

  Although Lady Huayang's cultivation was also terrifying, as long as a few titled kings joined hands to hold her back, they could basically easily behead this "Ethereal Young Master". Although it is said that this Ethereal Young Master is the ninth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but there are so many princes in the Great Zhou Dynasty, who can seize the throne, it's not certain yet.

  "Who's been bullying people too much?" A familiar voice came, not that fat guy, who else could it be? He held a nine-toothed rake and drove the clouds to come.

  The four young saints of the demon clan followed closely behind.

  Several of the King's monks were instantly enraged, knowing that the demon kings would probably come, but this time they seemed somewhat resolute: "Block them, take advantage of the few demon kings who have not yet arrived, and kill him, otherwise how can we explain to the king?"

  "Yes, kill him." A mediocre king said and was about to take action.

  Just then, a terrifying voice came, and a terrifying figure appeared instantly: "My words, it seems that they are not effective."

  "Peng Demon King." Several titled monks were stunned, Peng Demon King's speed was the fastest in the world, and now they had experienced it.

  Then the Jiao Demon King also arrived, only the Peacock Demon King was missing, but it's not important now. The prestige of Peng Demon King and Jiao Demon King is enough, and even the Great Sect dare not act rashly. They still remember Peng Demon King's words, squatting at the gate of the Great Sect, unless you don't come out.

  "The demon clan dares to interfere with the affairs of our dynasty and the great church, do they want to start a war?" A monk who claimed to be the king said, although he was afraid, but not fearful. He had to protect the prince who died like this, it's hard to explain to the dynasty, although the dynasty has many princes, but can't afford such losses, and this is a matter of face.

  "He killed our royal prince and the great genius of Da Jiao. How can we avenge this injustice? The demon clan will also be unable to control it?" Another king said.

  "Fart, you old thing that won't die, how do you know it was the Elusive Young Master who killed him? You must speak with evidence, did you see it with your own eyes? What evidence do you have?" The fatty scolded loudly, he didn't care about any great king or not.

  "You... you..." More than a dozen kings were so angry that they couldn't speak. Evidence? The Grand Church and the royal family killing people, do they need evidence?

  But that was their previous idea, now it's different. The demon tribe is backing the "Ethereal Young Master" from behind, and they really need this evidence, otherwise it would be a frame-up.

  "Jiuxie is right, what evidence do you have that the wandering young master was killed by him? If there is any, I, Jiaomo Wang, will leave immediately." Jiaomo Wang smiled and said. The fat man went back to tell everything to the three kings, but hid the fact that "the wandering young master" was actually Qin Hao.

  The Pengmo King beside him also nodded, but the Dajiao's titled monks, you look at me, I look at you, can't even produce evidence, and that murderer didn't even leave a breath behind, they're just speculating.

  "But apart from him, who else will take action?" said one of the kings, and the others echoed in agreement.

  "Mother's comparison, if my clan's ancestor were to die today, can it be said that your great teachings made him uneasy in his heart, so his death is also related to your great teachings?" Fatso retorted.

  At once, several monks who claimed to be kings were speechless. They scolded them without saying a word. This little pig saint even scolded with reason. The Jiaolong Demon King and the Peng Demon King furrowed their brows, but they also knew that Fatty didn't mean to blaspheme against the ancestors, it was just an example.

  "What? Nothing to say?" The fat man smiled, "The Floating Master said that after ten days, let them take the lead in death. That is ten days later. Now the person you are protecting is dead, and you have found him. Can I say this: there is a pile of shit on this land, and all of you are standing on it? Am I right to say that this pile of shit was pulled by the twelve of you together?"

  "Hmm"

  Everyone burst out laughing, and the dignified Wang of the Great Teaching suddenly became unbearably embarrassed. Even Peng Mo Wang's normally stern face cracked a smile. He pointed at Zhu Bajie, not knowing what to say. This guy always managed to come up with some crude but reasonable words...
