110: Chapter 110 All the male cultivators in the audience were so envious they cried!

In mid-air.

Chu Qianqiu stood with his hands behind his back, slowly withdrawing his pressure.

Only then did the hundreds of Cultivators in the square feel as if a heavy burden had been lifted, gasping for breath.

“The location of this ancient Secret Realm in the Far North was first identified by my Taiyi Dao Sect.”

Chu Qianqiu's voice, laced with spiritual power, echoed above the empty square.

“Allowing you all to share a piece of the pie is already a heavenly grace!”

“According to the old rules, thirty percent of any Opportunity or Heaven And Earth Treasure obtained within the Secret Realm must be handed over to my Taiyi Dao Sect upon exiting!”

“If anyone dares to hide or conceal their findings...”

Chu Qianqiu gave a cold snort, causing the void to tremble.

“Don't blame this old man for being merciless!”

As soon as these words were spoken,

The Elders and Prodigies of various Sects looked at each other, fury churning in the depths of their eyes.

This was blatant robbery!

Exploring an ancient Secret Realm was already a life-and-death gamble.

The Taiyi Dao Sect was doing nothing, yet they blocked the entrance demanding a thirty percent cut. Such tyrannical terms were simply going too far.

But no one dared to voice their opposition.

The man standing in mid-air was a genuine Soul Transformation Stage powerhouse.

Standing at the back of the crowd, Cao Kun curled his lips in disdain upon hearing this.

Hand over thirty percent?

Whatever this Elder sets his eyes on, even the Qi-infused dirt in this Secret Realm will be named Cao.

Who does your Taiyi Dao Sect think they are?

Once inside the Secret Realm, forget thirty percent.

Even your Saintess with her nose in the air—I plan to pack her up and take her away too.

Seeing everyone below bowing their heads in silence, Chu Qianqiu stroked his white beard under his chin with satisfaction.

He raised his hand and cast a complex golden hand seal onto the open ground in front of him.

“Buzz—”

A massive teleportation array rose from the ground.

“Qingcheng, you lead the team in first.”

Chu Qianqiu turned and looked at his Sect's Saintess, his tone softening considerably.

Luo Qingcheng nodded slightly.

Leading over a dozen elite Disciples of the Taiyi Dao Sect, she was the first to step into the teleportation array and vanish.

After the people from the Taiyi Dao Sect entered, Chu Qianqiu descended and landed beside the teleportation array.

“The rest of you, line up!”

“Come forward one by one to verify your identities and quota jade tokens! Only those without issues will be allowed through!”

The crowd did not dare to delay and obediently formed a long line.

The verification speed was very fast.

Before long, it was the turn of Cao Kun's trio.

The deacon responsible for verification originally had a deadpan face, mechanically going through the process.

But when he looked up and saw Meng Yudie and Yun Xiyue behind Cao Kun,

His eyes instantly went wide.

So beautiful!

They were simply soul-stealing beauties!

He was merely a low-level deacon of the Taiyi Dao Sect with mediocre Aptitude.

Usually, he would never have the chance to be in such close proximity to two famous Fairies of Qingzhou.

For a moment, his soul was enraptured, and he even forgot his own name.

Cao Kun stepped forward and casually tossed two quota jade tokens representing the Hehuan Sect onto the table.

“Hehuan Sect, two people.”

The deacon reluctantly withdrew his gaze, picked up the jade tokens to confirm they were correct, and nodded.

Cao Kun and Meng Yudie successfully passed the verification and stood at the edge of the teleportation array.

Next, it was Yun Xiyue's turn.

She suppressed the disgust in her heart towards the deacon's lecherous gaze and stepped forward.

She took out a jade token from her sleeve and handed it over.

“Miaoyin Sect, one person.”

To her surprise, the deacon not only failed to take the jade token but instead, lust gave him courage.

He relied on the fact that this was the mountain gate of the Taiyi Dao Sect.

Elder Chu Qianqiu was watching from behind, so he was certain no one would dare to cause trouble here!

He actually used the Opportunity of taking the jade token to try and touch Yun Xiyue's fair, jade-like hand.

Yun Xiyue's face turned cold, and she was about to pull her hand back to avoid him.

But in the next second, a dark shadow was faster than her.

“Bang!”

A dull air explosion suddenly rang out!

Cao Kun delivered a backhanded slap, striking the deacon's face squarely.

Violent Chaos Qi gushed out from Cao Kun's palm.

The deacon didn't even have time to let out a scream.

With a loud “Boom!”

His entire head and upper body exploded into a mist of blood on the spot!

The dozens of Cultivators lining up behind them all widened their eyes.

Dead... he's dead?

The Taiyi Dao Sect's verification deacon was slapped into a blood mist right in front of his own mountain gate?!

Are the people of the Hehuan Sect all this fierce now?!

“Impudent!”

After a brief moment of shock, Chu Qianqiu flew into a rage.

He never expected that

someone would actually dare to kill someone in public right under the nose of the Taiyi Dao Sect!

This wasn't just slapping a deacon's face; it was slapping the face of the entire Taiyi Dao Sect!

Boom!

The terrifying pressure of the Early stage of Spirit Severing crushed down toward Cao Kun like something physical.

The surrounding Cultivators were so scared they retreated repeatedly, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

However, Cao Kun, who was at the center of the pressure, stood his ground, remaining motionless.

The Chaos Unity Art completely swallowed and neutralized the pressure invading his body.

With one hand behind his back, he met Chu Qianqiu's murderous gaze and let out a disdainful sneer.

“Elder Chu, why such a big temper?”

“This deacon of your Taiyi Dao Sect had rather dirty hands.”

“I'm a kind-hearted person, so I lent a hand to help you clean your house, lest such filthy scum ruin the reputation of your Taiyi Dao Sect in the future.”

Cao Kun paused and grinned.

“No need to thank me. It was just a small effort.”

Too arrogant!

He killed their man and still wanted them to thank him?

The surrounding Cultivators felt their scalps go numb.

This Elder of the Hehuan Sect really isn't afraid of death!

At this moment, Yun Xiyue, who was protected behind Cao Kun, stared blankly at the broad back in front of her.

She had thought that a selfish Devil Head like Cao Kun

would definitely choose to settle the matter peacefully when facing a Soul Transformation Stage powerhouse.

But he didn't.

Just because someone wanted to take a little advantage of her,

he killed the person without hesitation, even at the cost of directly confronting a Soul Transformation powerhouse!

Yun Xiyue's heart rate quickened uncontrollably.

A sense of security she had never felt before enveloped her.

In the Miaoyin Sect, she was the high and mighty Grand Elder, the backbone of everyone.

When encountering danger, she had to stand at the very front.

For hundreds of years, no one had ever protected her behind them regardless of the consequences like today.

[Ding! Detected that the Jade Beast 'Yun Xiyue' is generating strong feelings of security and dependence!]

[taming value +3]

[Current taming value: 20/100]

[Congratulations to the host for reaching a stage goal, obtaining one Silver Blind Box, which has been stored in the System space.]

“Sophistry! You're looking for death!”

Chu Qianqiu raised his hand, golden light condensing in his palm, and was about to strike down.

Just at this critical moment,

An urgent Divine Sense transmission rang in Chu Qianqiu's mind.

“Third Elder! Do not be impulsive!”

The one transmitting was a Nascent Soul Late Stage Elder of the Taiyi Dao Sect standing not far away.

“You have just come out of seclusion and may not know.”

“Half a month ago, someone in the Hehuan Sect crossed the Soul Transformation Lightning Tribulation!”

“What's even more terrifying is that the tribulation cloud was eventually forcibly swallowed by an extremely horrific power!”

“The Sect Master and the other two Elders inferred that there is very likely a peerless old monster at the Soul Transformation Stage or even Half-step Void Refinement hidden within the Hehuan Sect!”

“If we rashly make an enemy of the Hehuan Sect for the sake of a mere deacon and draw out that old monster behind them, ruining the Sect Master's grand plan to explore the Secret Realm, the loss would outweigh the gain!”

Chu Qianqiu hesitated after hearing this.

Soul Transformation Stage? Half-step Void Refinement?

When did a second-rate School like the Hehuan Sect produce such a figure?!

No wonder this kid is so fearless!

With the Secret Realm exploration imminent, making powerful enemies was definitely not a wise move.

Weighing the pros and cons, Chu Qianqiu flicked his sleeve.

“Fine! What a 'kind-hearted' Hehuan Sect Grand Elder!”

“I will remember today's matter!”

“I hope that once you enter the Secret Realm, your life will be as tough as your mouth!”

Even a fool could hear the threat in these words.

Everyone around thought Cao Kun would quit while he was ahead.

To their surprise, Cao Kun only gave a disdainful cold laugh.

“That's not for Elder Chu to worry about.”

“However, Elder Chu, you're getting on in years; you should keep your temper in check. Be careful not to let your anger damage your health and cause your body to explode.”

After saying that,

Cao Kun ignored the ashen-faced Chu Qianqiu and opened his arms.

His left hand hugged Meng Yudie's soft and slender water-snake waist, while his right hand grabbed Yun Xiyue's wrist.

Meng Yudie immediately slumped cooperatively into Cao Kun's arms and teased, “Master is so bad~”

Yun Xiyue made a token struggle before letting him lead her with a flushed face.

Under the envious and jealous gazes of the hundreds of male Cultivators present,

Cao Kun swaggered toward the teleportation array.

Leaving only the hundreds of Cultivators in the square looking at each other.

Unable to calm down for a long time.
