193: Qingshui Town, a place of great spirit

Three li away from QingShui Town, on a hill.

Lin Qinghuang looked at the town ahead and mused, “That must be QingShui Town.”

“Not simple!”

Xie Weilou gazed at the town and slowly uttered three words.

This town was locked down by a great formation, enveloped in purple Qi, with sacred radiant light emanating from above, and Vast Righteous Qi permeating it, which was very peculiar.

“We’ll know once we investigate,” Lin Qinghuang said calmly.

Xie Weilou looked surprised. “Do you think there might be a Mr. Qi in this town?”

“Mr. Qi? What Mr. Qi?” Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou, puzzled.

Xie Weilou smiled and said, “The Mr. Qi from the storybooks!”

Lin Qinghuang rolled her eyes. “I told you to read fewer storybooks.”

“Lin Qinghuang’s words, Xie Weilou humbly accepts and will never change.” Xie Weilou smiled indifferently.

Qinghuang: “…”

“Oh! There’s a young lady here, her figure is quite nice.”

A charmingly evil laugh rang out, and a group of cultivators dressed in pink robes flew over.

Leading them was a pale-faced, incredibly charmingly evil young man, whose cultivation was not weak, being at the Middle Stage of the Territory Expansion Realm.

Beside him, there was also an old man at the Dao Repository Realm (Middle Stage), while the rest were all below the Territory Expansion Realm.

Judging by their attire, they were clearly from the Hehuan Sect.

The young man looked at Lin Qinghuang, a burning desire in his eyes. He smiled wickedly and said, “I am Yin Zhao of the Hehuan Sect. My master is Elder Chu Yi, a True Person of the Hehuan Sect. May I ask for the young lady’s esteemed name?”

Lin Qinghuang glared coldly at Yin Zhao and said indifferently, “Get lost!”

Yin Zhao’s smile froze, and his face darkened. “Is the young lady refusing to give this young master face?”

“Courting death!”

Lin Qinghuang’s figure flickered, instantly appearing before Yin Zhao, and she grabbed his neck.

“You…”

Yin Zhao looked horrified and was scared. With his Territory Expansion Realm cultivation, he couldn’t even offer the slightest resistance.

He already understood that he had run into a formidable opponent and couldn't help but look at the old man. “Seventh Elder, save me.”

The old man at the Dao Repository Realm (Middle Stage) frowned and immediately said, “Let him go!”

Boom!

Lin Qinghuang squeezed hard, and Yin Zhao was instantly crushed into a bloody mist.

“Senior Brother Yin.”

The disciples of the Hehuan Sect cried out in panic when they saw Yin Zhao being crushed to death.

“Noisy.”

Lin Qinghuang raised an eyebrow, and a destructive power erupted from her. Apart from the old man, all the other Hehuan Sect members were instantly crushed into dust.

“You audacious!”

The old man’s face was incredibly grim. He immediately conjured a spirit sword and directly slashed it towards Lin Qinghuang.

Lin Qinghuang’s eyes were fierce. Deep in her palm, a green light appeared, instantly grabbing the spirit sword. She flicked her finger.

Bang!

The spirit sword exploded directly, and the powerful force sent the old man flying.

“What?”

The old man’s eyes showed a hint of panic, and even a trace of horror.

Lin Qinghuang took a step, suddenly appearing in front of the old man. She threw a punch, and a green fist print erupted, instantly piercing through the old man’s chest, a spray of blood splattering out.

“Ah…”

The old man let out a mournful scream, his face contorted, and he looked incredibly pained.

“Die!”

Lin Qinghuang’s tone was cold, and her fist erupted with terrifying pressure.

Boom!

The old man’s body instantly exploded, turning into a sky full of blood mist, dying a tragic death.

“…”

Xie Weilou stared at Lin Qinghuang. After she entered the Dao Repository Realm, her combat power became even more terrifying. Killing someone across realms was so easy for her, and she could even counter attack ordinary late-stage Dao Repository cultivators.

However, thinking of Lin Qinghuang’s special spiritual bone, Xie Weilou felt that everything was normal.

Lin Qinghuang waved her hand casually, and several storage rings and storage bags flew into her hand. She threw the old man’s storage ring to Xie Weilou and said indifferently, “What are you looking at?”

Xie Weilou took the storage ring and said with a smile, “Qinghuang, you are truly ruthless. You wiped out everyone at the slightest disagreement.”

Qinghuang said calmly, “From another perspective, if our strength was insufficient, it might be us who died here today. This is the path of cultivation; human lives are like weeds. It’s either killing or being killed. Principles exist, but they are built upon the fist.”

“You are a truly qualified cultivator.”

Xie Weilou put away the storage ring and gave Lin Qinghuang a thumbs up.

Lin Qinghuang’s actions were decisive and resolute, unlike those of ordinary women. Such a person was truly extraordinary.

“No need for flattery. You’ve killed quite a few people yourself.” Lin Qinghuang showed a faint smile on her face.

“This Xie has Vast Righteous Qi in his heart and wants to be a scholar; he doesn’t like killing.”

This Xie smiled wryly and then flew forward.

“Hehe!”

Lin Qinghuang smiled, shook her head, and flew to catch up.

QingShui Town entrance.

There was an old woman with white hair, leaning on a cane, sitting on a chair. When she saw outsiders, she said, “Ten taels of silver per person to enter the town.”

Many cultivators from the Hengyuan Sect, Mist Hidden Gate, Hehuan Sect, and Tai Xuan Sect had come here. They gazed at the old woman but couldn’t discern any mysteries; this old woman was just an ordinary person.

Zhao Qi, the Sect Master of the Hengyuan Sect, slowly spoke, “As far as I know, entering QingShui Town previously didn’t require silver. Has this rule changed? Or did you know in advance that we would come here?”

The old woman smiled and shook her head, “This old woman doesn’t understand much; she’s only responsible for collecting money. This is the town mayor’s instruction. If you have any questions, you can enter the town and ask the mayor.”

“…”

Everyone looked thoughtful, then each took out ten taels of silver. For them, this amount of silver was nothing.

The town before them was far from simple, covered by a great formation. Perhaps there was a master residing within, and without clarifying the situation, naturally no one dared to act recklessly.

In the past three years, the young people who had emerged from QingShui Town all possessed Vast Righteous Qi and had extraordinary bones.

Just a few days ago, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the town, and strange phenomena appeared. Between heaven and earth, purple Qi permeated and Vast Righteous Qi filled the air. It must be that a Confucian Dao supreme treasure had appeared.

This made the people of the various sects incredibly eager.

They had come to the town this time to see if they could find that supreme treasure.

People from various sects entered the town one after another.

Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang arrived shortly after.

“Ten taels of silver per person.”

The old woman looked at the two of them and said with a smile.

Lin Qinghuang casually took out twenty taels of silver and walked into the town with Xie Weilou.

Inside the town, snow covered everything. The surrounding houses were ancient, with gray-white walls made of bricks and tiles, very clean. The white snow imbued them, creating a unique scenic view.

There were many pedestrians on the street. Regardless of age, everyone possessed Vast Righteous Qi, as if they had been influenced by some Haoran divine object, making them quite extraordinary.

“Formations, Restriction, Vast Righteous Qi.”

Lin Qinghuang looked around, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Xie Weilou smiled and said, “Let’s just walk around.”

“Oh? Have you discovered something?” Lin Qinghuang gazed at Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou walked forward, “Let’s see if there’s a Mr. Qi, and if there’s a young man named Chen.”

“…”

Lin Qinghuang was a bit speechless. Had this guy become obsessed with storybooks?

However, she still followed Xie Weilou’s footsteps.
