66: Daqin sent troops to Daqing, Xiao Huohuo returned to Dasong to keep his appointment

Endless blood!

The corpses of the Eight Banners covered a thousand-mile imperial road from the Great Qing border to Xunwu City.

The setting sun, like blood, made the young girl's pink silk dress appear even more demonic.

Nanny's small face no longer held any trace of innocence; instead, it was replaced by a death-god-like indifference.

She held a roasted chicken leg larger than her head in one hand, while with the other, she casually unleashed streams of magical power capable of tearing through the Void Realm.

“Poof!”

“Poof!”

Each streak of magical power that swept past invariably resulted in a head flying into the sky or a body cut in half at the waist.

Behind her, Qin Jiu's expression was complex; his green robe was already soaked with blood, making it impossible to tell if it was the enemy's or his own.

Two days.

A full two days and two nights.

Ever since that day they unleashed a massacre in Xunwu City, they had been caught in the endless pursuit of the entire Great Qing Dynasty.

From the initial Eight Banners elite, to later Jianghu experts, then Grandmasters, and even Great Grandmasters!

The Great Qing seemed to have gone mad, sparing no expense and mobilizing every force it could, just to tear the two of them into a thousand pieces!

But what was the result?

One came, one died!

Two came, two died!

Nanny, this seemingly harmless little girl, once she started fighting, was simply a slaughtering demon god walking among humans!

Qin Jiu went from initial shock to… numbness.

He didn't even bother to make a move anymore, just silently followed behind Nanny, occasionally dealing with a few stragglers, and then skillfully pulled out another roasted chicken from his satchel to hand to this Junior Sister, who consumed a lot of magical power and needed “energy replenishment.”

Even a human-shaped self-propelled cannon needed fuel, didn't it?

“Little Jiu, it’s bland.”

Nanny finished gnawing on the chicken leg in her hand, casually tossed the bone, knocking over a Great Master from the Imperial Palace who was charging at her, and pouted, a little displeased.

Qin Jiu's mouth twitched; without a word, he pulled out another small paper packet from his embrace.

“Senior Sister, it’s cumin flavored, please try it.”

…

Just as the two of them were sweeping through, striking fear into the entire Great Qing Martial Forest.

Ahead, dust billowed, and the sound of hooves was like thunder!

A terrifying cavalry unit, entirely covered in golden armor, wielding fiery long spears, and with their warhorses fully armored, charged forth like a golden torrent of steel!

That iron-blooded Evil Qi soared into the sky, even causing the heavens and earth to change color!

“Oh no! It’s the enemy!”

Qin Jiu's expression changed, and he instantly shielded Nanny behind him, as if facing a formidable foe.

However, when he clearly saw the large “Qin” character on the commander's banner fluttering in the wind, his entire being froze.

Great Qin?

Golden Fire Cavalry!

The leading general, with a burly physique and resolute face, was none other than the Great Qin’s Great General, General Meng Tian!

“Your Highness, Ninth Prince!”

General Meng Tian dismounted, and the moment he saw Qin Jiu, his tiger-like eyes burst with incredible joy!

“You… you’re really still alive!”

He rushed to Qin Jiu in three strides, knelt on one knee with a “thud,” and choked out, “This subordinate, General Meng Tian, was late in rescuing Your Highness and deserves ten thousand deaths!”

Qin Jiu’s mind temporarily stalled.

He looked at this trusted favorite general of his father, then at the thousands of Golden Fire Cavalry with their magnificent Aura, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

“General Meng, please rise quickly.”

He helped General Meng Tian up, his voice hoarse, “How did you…”

General Meng Tian then recounted how, after concluding the matter of reinforcing Beiyuan these past few days, he heard that the Great Qing was besieging the Great Qin’s Ninth Young Master, and Ying Zheng, in a fit of rage, dispatched troops to the Great Qing.

“So that’s how it is…”

After listening, Qin Jiu felt a mixture of emotions.

And Nanny, upon learning of the tragic fate of her Third Junior Sister Ling Ke'er, her large eyes, which had just regained some spirit, turned cold once again!

“Little Jiu! General Meng!”

The little girl’s voice was childish, yet it carried an undeniable authority and… Killing Intent!

“Since the Great Qin saved Third Junior Sister and Senior Brother, Nanny cannot be stingy either!”

“From now on, I will help you conquer the Great Qing!”

“This, then, shall be Tai Xuan Immortal Sect returning a favor to your Great Qin!”

Upon hearing this, General Meng Tian trembled with excitement, knelt on one knee again, and his voice boomed like a bell: “This subordinate, on behalf of the Great Qin’s billions of citizens, thanks Immortal Nanny!”

With this little ancestor present, let alone one Great Qing, what difficulty would there be in sweeping across the Nine Great Dynasties?!

…

The scene suddenly shifted.

Cloudbreak Mountain Range, Tianzhu Peak.

The back mountain of Tai Xuan Immortal Sect had lost its usual tranquility.

In the air, a heart-palpitating magical power fluctuation permeated, at times a fierce wind raged, at times lightning flashed and thunder roared, and at times ten thousand swords chimed in unison!

Lin Fan's hair was disheveled, his eyes bloodshot, his eye sockets deeply sunken; he looked like a programmer who hadn't slept for three days and three nights and had chugged eighteen bowls of cheap coffee, his mental state already on the verge of collapse.

Around his body, twenty-nine streams of colorful light, condensed from pure magical power, swirled.

There were blazing fireballs, chilling ice cones, incomparably sharp golden blades, and also earth walls as heavy as mountains…

These were all things he had “comprehended” through sleepless days and nights from the “basic spell Jade Slips” bestowed by his Master Lu Yuchen!

“Ding! Detected that Disciple Lin Fan has successfully comprehended 《Wind Control Technique》!”

“Triggering tenfold return! Congratulations to Host for obtaining Divine Ability: 《Wind Escape》!”

“Ding! Detected that Disciple Lin Fan has successfully comprehended 《Lightning Strike Technique》!”

“Triggering tenfold return! Congratulations to Host for obtaining Divine Ability: 《Palm Control of Five Thunders》!”

“Ding! Detected that Disciple Lin Fan has successfully comprehended Yujian Technique!”

…

At the entrance of the Sect Master’s main hall.

Lu Yuchen lay in his rocking chair, and in his mind, the System's notification sounds kept ringing like a constantly refreshing screen.

His mood at this moment was very pleasant.

In just a few days, relying on Lin Fan, this “human-shaped Dao comprehension machine,” he had effortlessly gained twenty-nine types of spells!

Although they were all minor tricks not worthy of much attention, at least they made him, this “Immortal Sect Master,” seem more legitimate.

But amidst his pleasure, he also felt a bit worried.

Through his Divine Sense, he looked at his precious Disciple in the back mountain, who was already on the verge of Qi Deviation, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

“This kid, he won’t really train himself into a lunatic, will he?”

“No, I need to keep an eye on him, lest he really messes up.”

Lu Yuchen muttered to himself, “This kid is my number one experience package; if he becomes Trash, where will I go to cry?”

…

At this moment, outside Shuntian Prefecture of the Great Ming.

Xiao Huohuo, in a black and red brocade robe, stood tall and straight, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, no longer showing any trace of his former dejected, Trash appearance.

He solemnly cupped his hands to the young girl in the light pink silk dress before him, her eyes slightly red.

“Miss Miaojin, this is as far as you need to see me off.”

“Brother Xiao…”

Xu Miaojin bit her red lips lightly with her pearly teeth, her beautiful eyes misty and filled with reluctance, “You… are you really leaving? That Mount Emei Golden Summit promise, you…”

“Don’t worry.”

Xiao Huohuo interrupted her, a confident smile appearing on his face, “A mere Cloud Mirage, now, is no longer in my eyes.”

His voice was not loud, yet it carried an arrogance and power that came from his very bones!

“Once I settle this Karma, I will return.”

“Wait for me.”

Leaving these simple two words, Xiao Huohuo no longer hesitated, turned around, and strode away.

Leaving behind only a resolute and aloof figure, and… a young girl gazingStupid at his back, tears quietly streaming down her face.

And at this moment, Xiao Huohuo had only one thought in his heart.

Mount Emei Golden Summit!

Cloud Mirage!

I, Xiao Huohuo, have arrived!

It’s time for the people of this world to see what true… Don't you dare bully a young man in poverty! is!
