13: Escape from Qin!

The Qingyun Sect Master arrived at the Immortal Cave of the Foundation Establishment Disciple with a grim expression, using a Great Divine Ability to briefly trace back the scene of you and Ye Chuxue killing people last night.

"Who are these two? Investigate! Investigate them thoroughly! I want to devour these two hateful humans!"

With a command, the Elders accompanying him immediately began to arrange for Core Formation Disciples to investigate the matter.

Soon, an Elder came to the Sect Master's main hall to report to Chu Tianqiu, the Qingyun Sect Master.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, the identities of these two have been clarified: one is Inner Sect Disciple Ye Chuxue, and the other is Outer Sect Utility Disciple Su Ming!"

"What? You mean a Utility Disciple of our Azure Cloud Sect killed all the Inner Sect Foundation Establishment Disciples?"

"What are you doing? Issue a warrant for their arrest and share the information with other Sects. Demonic Path Cultivators shall be condemned by all under heaven!"

Just as you and Ye Chuxue arrived in Qin State in the mortal world, a warrant for your arrest had already been issued throughout Qingzhou.

However, you and Ye Chuxue did not know about the series of problems caused by your killing of the Azure Cloud Sect's Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

Ye Chuxue told you that the reason she came here was because she had heard recently that someone in Qin State was behaving abnormally, very much like an Awakened One.

Upon hearing this, you immediately knew that the person Ye Chuxue spoke of was Lin Qi.

A month later, you found Lin Qi in the prison of Qin State.

At this time, his condition was particularly poor, and you and Ye Chuxue rescued him from prison overnight.

Lin Qi showed no gratitude for your life-saving grace; instead, his face was filled with despair.

"Why did you save me? This world is fake, and you are fake too!"

Seeing this, Ye Chuxue stepped forward and slapped Lin Qi flying, then lifted him by the collar of his clothes.

"Fake? I tell you, this world has always been real, it's just that ordinary people don't know the truth!"

"Were you suddenly Possessed by a Demonic Insect when you were Breaking Through to Foundation Establishment?"

Hearing Ye Chuxue's words, Lin Qi was greatly shocked; he hadn't expected you to know such a thing.

"Could it be that you... are the same?"

"Of course! Otherwise, why would we risk coming to save you!"

Lin Qi looked at you and Ye Chuxue and suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.

"So what exactly is going on with all this? What exactly is that insect?"

Ye Chuxue began to patiently explain to Lin Qi what had happened in this world, starting from Demon Quelling Celestial Venerable in ancient times.

She continued speaking until night, and Ye Chuxue finished telling all the truth.

"So we are all Awakened Ones? Is it that in Canglan Realm, only Awakened Ones and Cultivators below Foundation Establishment are human now?"

Seeing Lin Qi's expression, you stepped forward and patted his shoulder, indicating that although the truth was cruel, this was what you had to face.

Lin Qi was successfully invited by Ye Chuxue to join the Demonic Path.

"I never thought that I used to hate those on the Demonic Path; now, thinking about it, it's truly laughable."

"What we Awakened Ones must do is to overthrow this decaying Canglan Realm and find the root of the problem. This ideology has been upheld from Demon Quelling Celestial Venerable until today."

At this moment, you were curious why Lin Qi, with such good talent, hadn't joined any School.

Lin Qi told you that because he was the Young Master of the Lin Family, a royal Family with a different surname in Qin State, he had to hide his cultivation from everyone for the sake of his Family.

Even when he was eventually caught for going mad, he never revealed his cultivation; once he revealed his cultivation, it would mean the destruction of his Family.

No sooner had he finished speaking than you saw Lin Qi suddenly stand up like a madman and run outside, muttering.

"Father... is Father also a monster?"

Seeing this, Ye Chuxue directly dragged Lin Qi back and stared at him coldly.

"Calm down, Lin Qi! It's hard to say if your father is a monster right now. According to you, your father is a Genius, and Geniuses are often very prone to awakening!"

"Yes, yes, yes! My father must also be an Awakened One, I want to go back and ask him clearly!"

Ye Chuxue felt very helpless and gave you a look.

You understood tacitly, dragged Lin Qi back again, and slapped him across the face.

"Are you awake now? If you go directly to your father and expose your identity now, what if your father is already a Demonic Insect Puppet?"

"No... impossible! Impossible!"

Seeing that Lin Qi was still stubborn, you slapped him across the face again, while looking at Ye Chuxue.

"This good-for-nothing is beyond saving, let him fend for himself!"

Ye Chuxue said nothing more, seeing this, and untied Lin Qi.

However, Lin Qi did not choose to leave; he accepted reality and chose to confront the Weird Insects.

Early the next morning, you found Ye Chuxue and asked her about her plans.

She told you to temporarily recuperate in Qin State, and when you were about to Break Through to Core Formation, you could go to Tianyuan to find that ruin for the Breakthrough.

After listening, you suggested that Ye Chuxue temporarily leave Qin State to Cultivate elsewhere, as Qin State was too close to Azure Cloud Sect, to avoid causing trouble.

You knew that during this year, people from Azure Cloud Sect would come to Qin State to encircle and suppress them, although the people who came were not very strong.

Ye Chuxue felt your suggestion was very reasonable after hearing it, and just as she was about to inform Lin Qi, the gate of your small courtyard was suddenly kicked open.

"Demonic Path Cultivators, prepare to die!"

Ten figures appeared consecutively in the small courtyard. You looked at their unfamiliar clothes and asked who they were.

"Who are we? We are Fenglei Sect Inner Sect Disciples! You have been publicized by Azure Cloud Sect, and now the entire Qingzhou is hunting you two!"

As soon as the words fell, ten Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators charged at you and Ye Chuxue.

Even though there were three Cultivators at Foundation Establishment Completion Stage among them, you were not flustered at all and directly killed one Foundation Establishment Cultivator with a single palm strike.

Within a few breaths, you had killed everyone who had surrounded you, then came to Ye Chuxue's side and helped her kill all the Fenglei Sect Disciples.

Ye Chuxue couldn't help but exclaim when she saw your combat prowess.

"Foundation Establishment Breaking Through from Qi Training Extreme Realm is truly fierce; challenging those of higher cultivation levels is nothing."

The battle ended quickly, and Lin Qi also walked out of the room at this time.

He asked what had happened, and you simply told him that you were now wanted by all Schools in Qingzhou and had to leave immediately.

Lin Qi, realizing the seriousness of the problem, followed you directly out of Qin State without saying more.

Just as you were about to leave the border of Qin State, you found that your path was blocked by another group of people, including a Core Formation Cultivator.

"Demonic Prodigies, today is your day of death!"
