Chapter 785 - 757: Qin Family Ancestor

"I know."

Sun Zhe solemnly nodded to Mu Qingyan, then turned around and walked out of the cave.

"Qingyan, no matter what, I will hold on until you finish your seclusion."

"Mm, be careful."

...

Outside the cave.

Qin Hong and Wang Daqing both looked battered and bruised, with blood stains all over their bodies, appearing extremely disheveled.

At this moment, the two of them were standing respectfully behind a white-haired elder.

The white-haired elder was named Qin Yuanfei, one of the ancestors of the Qin Family.

Two days ago, Qin Hong and Wang Daqing each led their disciples for a frenzied battle, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides. Just when the battle reached a deadlock, Qin Yuanfei arrived to stop them, and only then did the fighting cease.

Later, after calming down, both sides engaged in effective open communication and realized that their families had been tricked by Sun Zhe.

At that time, Qin Hong and Wang Daqing were so angry they almost vomited blood, swearing to find Sun Zhe and exact vengeance even if they had to search heaven and earth!

However, Sun Zhe was long gone, leaving the two with no outlet for their boundless hatred.

After healing and resting for a while, under Qin Yuanfei’s suggestion, the two families decided to join forces to explore the Valley of Ten Thousand Burials, hoping to find some opportunities to bring back as compensation.

Not long ago, Qin Yuanfei sensed someone breaking through in this desolate mountain cave and decided to pay a visit.

...

Qin Hong hovered in the void, looking at Qin Yuanfei’s back, cautiously said, "Ancestor, the atmosphere surrounding this cave is ancient and profound, could there be an expert we cannot afford to offend inside? If we disturb them recklessly, I fear it might incite their anger."

Wang Daqing, standing by, nodded, expressing similar concerns, "Though this is the territory of the Kunlun Ancestral Land, history tells us that many supreme experts have emerged from it, we must be careful!"

Qin Yuanfei, however, was dismissive, stroking his beard and looking down at the cave entrance with a faint smile, "You two need not fear. Judging from the Dao aura emitted during the breakthrough, the person should be at the Spirit Gathering Realm, no higher than the Soul Void Realm."

Hearing this, Qin Hong and Wang Daqing exchanged a glance, both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Daqing immediately dispelled his worries, laughing, "With Qin Senior here, we are fearless!"

Qin Yuanfei’s gaze suddenly sharpened, focusing on the cave entrance hidden among the green vines. Just as he was about to speak, a hand reached out and parted the vines, followed by a tall figure emerging leisurely.

Qin Yuanfei stood with hands behind his back, lightly asked, "Was it you, fellow Daoist, who just broke through here?"

"You little bastard!"

Before he finished his words, Qin Hong erupted in fury.

Beside him, Wang Daqing instantly recognized Sun Zhe, shaking with anger, pointed at Sun Zhe and told Qin Yuanfei, "Senior Qin, this is the one who stole the treasures of both our families and then tricked us into a deadly battle!"

Qin Hong, filled with rage, almost roared, "Qin Family disciples, capture this thief!"

At this moment.

At the cave entrance.

Sun Zhe glanced at the crowd in mid-air, feeling somewhat helpless.

Little Dragon Girl’s voice echoed in his mind, "Those two old men were both Tier Eight in the Spirit Gathering Realm, and their aura is chaotic, indicating they are injured, so they are not much of a threat."

She continued, "However, this newly arrived old man is extraordinary, even I cannot see through his cultivation strength."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe’s heart sank a bit, his gaze fixed on Qin Yuanfei, pondering.

Thinking about how he must buy time for Mu Qingyan, he cupped his fists with a smile, "Indeed it was I. May I ask the esteemed senior’s name and the purpose of your visit?"

Qin Yuanfei remained expressionless, "Mere lowly riffraff, you are not worthy of knowing the name of this old man. Seize him!"

With his command, the Qin Family disciples immediately drew their swords and charged from all directions.

Seeing this, Wang Daqing ordered Wang Yujun to lead the disciples to surround and kill.

As the crowd surged forward, Sun Zhe remained unfazed, his Divine Sense stirred, sending invisible Taixu Sword Qi flying in all directions.

The sword Qi ignited into eerie golden flames midway!

The terrifying high-temperature aura instantly engulfed a vast area!

With the combination of Taixu Sword Qi and Pure Yang Holy Fire, Sun Zhe was confident in instantly killing these disciples.

"Careful! Everyone quickly retreat!"

Having suffered loss before, Wang Yujun knew the terror of the golden flames, shouted urgently, brandishing her sword for defense.

At the same time, Qin Yuanfei’s eyes narrowed, realizing the flames and sword Qi were extraordinary, he immediately waved his hand, sending palm-sized mysterious Light Seals formed from water-blue Spiritual Power to counter those sword Qi before the disciples arrived.

Seeing this, Sun Zhe felt a slight heaviness in his heart, silently sighed that Taixu Sword Qi’s strength lies in being invisible, making it extremely difficult to defend against.

Yet, when combined with his own Spiritual Power, its potency greatly increases but becomes visible, making it possible to be effectively defended and evaded.

While he pondered, the disciples of both families, showing great coordination, retreated to a hundred meters away, forming an array in mid-air to surround Sun Zhe, blocking all his paths.

In the sky.

Qin Yuanfei slightly tilted his head, glanced at Qin Hong and Wang Daqing, saying, "This kid’s methods are vicious and cunning, it’s unnecessary for our disciples to sacrifice their lives. This trouble was caused by you two, so you two should be the ones to capture this child."

"Yes, Ancestor!"

Qin Hong filled with deep hatred, was eager to tear Sun Zhe into pieces.

Wang Daqing shared the same sentiment.

Both immediately flew forward, landing thunderously before Sun Zhe, causing cracks to spread across the ground.

Qin Hong’s eyes were bloodshot, sneered at Sun Zhe, "Boy, I’ll make you vomit back what you took! Then I’ll let you experience the pain of seeking life in vain and death beyond reach!"

Wang Daqing’s eyes were filled with cruelty, seemingly imagining Sun Zhe’s fate, "That breathtaking fairy by your side must be in the cave behind you, right? Don’t worry, little wretch, I’ll take good care of her for you, she won’t have a moment to miss you for twelve hours a day."

Sun Zhe’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, "Two dying old dogs, dare to bark wildly here."

"Wretched brat, die!"

Qin Hong suddenly twisted his toe on the ground, and the already cracked bluestone exploded instantly, his frail body launched like an arrow, carrying terrifying power towards Sun Zhe, his right fist fitted with a metal glove, punching straight at Sun Zhe from several meters away!

"Die!"

Sun Zhe didn’t hesitate, immediately jumped several meters back to maintain distance, simultaneously grasping with one hand, the Bladeless Mountain-Suppressing Sword appeared in his hand, both hands grasped the sword and swung it down in an upright slice as he landed.

"Boom!"

Punch met sword, reverberating a deafening boom across the towering mountains.

Qin Hong gritted his teeth, feeling his entire arm numb and weak, the terrifying sword aura seemed to crush his arm bones.

"Kid, you have some skill, but if this is all you have, I advise you to kneel down obediently, don’t struggle in vain."

At this moment, Wang Daqing broke in with his sword, "Little thief, today you and your Dao companion must stay!"
