124: Chapter 124 Soaring Fame! A Battle That Receives Much Attention!

One day later.

Wangyue Sect.

"A huge rumor! A huge rumor!"

While Xiao Chang was cultivating at the Scripture Transmission Peak, he suddenly heard Outer Sect Disciples outside discussing animatedly.

"Have you heard? The Fang Family, one of the Eight Great Families of Daliang Country with a great cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm, was wiped out overnight!"

"Ah? I remember that the Fang Family had three mighty figures at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm, right? With such strength... how could they still be wiped out overnight?"

"It's true, 100% reliable news! Let me tell you, do you know why the Fang Family was destroyed?"

"Why?"

"Because of a young member of the Fang Family! Let me tell you, there is a member of the Fang Family named Fang Yuan. According to rumors, Fang Yuan betrayed the Fang Family a few days ago, and a subjugation order was issued against her!"

"And then Fang Yuan went crazy and wiped out the Fang Family?"

"No! It's that Fang Yuan found an Outer Sect Disciple, and together they went straight to the Fang Family. During the 400th birthday banquet of the Fang Family's Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor, they completely wiped out the Fang Family!"

"Wiping them out on their birthday banquet? That's way too brutal!"

"Hiss! Barging straight through the Fang Family's front gates and killing three great cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm... Exactly what Sect does the person who wiped them out come from?"

"I heard that their Sect is called the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect!"

"Hmm?"

Xiao Chang's earlobes twitched slightly.

"Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect? Isn't that Brother Qin's Sect?"

Catching the keywords, Xiao Chang appeared to still be cultivating with his eyes closed, but was actually pondering secretly.

"Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, could it be that Brother Qin's fellow apprentice brother made a move and wiped out the Fang Family?"

"I heard that Brother Qin is also at the Lingzhu Market in Daliang Country. Should he be able to run into that fellow apprentice brother of his?"

Xiao Chang had originally been worried. With Brother Qin's intolerant-of-evil personality, going to Daliang Country would definitely lead to him making enemies with many Immortal Cultivators and Martial Cultivators.

However, Qin Muyuan's cultivation was still shallow after all, and he would probably find it hard to escape unscathed if he made enemies.

However, if he could run into a fellow apprentice brother from the same Sect, he probably wouldn't need to worry about being unable to escape after making enemies.

After all, a fellow apprentice brother from the same Sect who could wipe out three great cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm must possess strength that ordinary Immortal Cultivators could not deal with.

With the help of this fellow apprentice brother from the same Sect, Brother Qin shouldn't have to worry...

"...I've never heard of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect either! But it is rumored that besides stating his Sect, that person even proclaimed his own name on the spot—Qin, Mu, Yuan!"

"Who?"

Xiao Chang's eyes snapped open, his pupils filled with astonishment.

"The surname Qin? I've never heard of any powerful clan with the surname Qin in this Southern Wilderness."

"This person most likely doesn't come from our Southern Wilderness."

"Alas, your information is all terrible. Let me tell you, besides wiping out the Fang Family, this Qin Muyuan actually previously wiped out another Immortal Cultivator family—the Yu Family of the Lingzhu Market in Daliang Country!"

"Hiss!! The one who wiped out the Yu Family and the Fang Family is the same person?"

"Right! My clan uncle's wife's younger brother's daughter said that when they charged into Tianying County of the Fang Family, Qin Muyuan was riding a wolf demon! The appearance of that wolf demon was identical to the wolf demon ridden by the person who killed the Yu Family!"

"A wolf demon... That is indeed Brother Qin!"

Xiao Chang was certain in his heart.

Because that wolf demon named Wangcai was subdued by Brother Qin in the martial arts gym's basement, and was not a standard pet for Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect Disciples.

Therefore.

"Brother Qin really killed three great cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm..."

Xiao Chang was dumbfounded.

He had previously thought about descending the mountain to find Brother Qin after he achieved success in his studies.

Then, when Brother Qin fell into crisis, he would make a dramatic entrance and casually help Brother Qin solve his troubles to repay the debt of saving his life.

As a result.

He hadn't even figured out the various essential formulas of an Immortal Cultivator yet, and couldn't even be considered an Alchemist, ranking a tier lower than Qi-Refining Immortal Cultivators.

Yet Brother Qin... was already capable of battling three great cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm...

Xiao Chang instantly felt that a thick barrier now suddenly separated him and Brother Qin!

"After wiping out the Fang Family, that Qin Muyuan also issued a declaration. Can you guess what it is?"

Outside, the chatting Outer Sect Disciples continued their conversation.

"What is it?"

"Wiping out the Eight Great Families!"

"What?"

"Wiping out the Eight Great Families! That's right, just like what you heard! That Qin Muyuan declared that he is going to wipe out the Eight Great Families of Daliang Country one by one! Clearing them all out!"

"And his next target is the Luo Family located in Tianqing County!"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss! Terrifying to this degree! Terrifying to this degree!"

"Such an arrogant declaration! This person's strength... is probably above mine?"

"...Go, go, go, get lost. In front of him, you'd probably be poked to death with a single finger!"

"No wonder I heard from my clan Elder brother who entered the inner Sect that several Elders of our Wangyue Sect plan to travel together to Tianqing County to watch the show. At that time, I was wondering what kind of lively show there was to see in Tianqing County, but now it seems..."

"If our Sect's Elders go, people from the Xuan Gu Sect will probably go too, right? Won't that scene be full of various immortal Sects standing tall?"

"That's so great, I also want to go watch the show and broaden my horizons..."

That night.

When Xiao Chang returned to his Immortal Cave, he discovered that someone was already seated inside his Immortal Cave.

This person had a cascade of silver hair draping over her shoulders, and a pair of scarlet pupils shone brightly in the dim light.

The moment he saw this person clearly, even though Xiao Chang felt a bit of foreboding in his heart, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he quickly cupped his fists and greeted:

"Xiao Chang greets Senior Sister Nangong!"

"No need for formalities."

Nangong Yueqing said in a flat tone.

"I wonder why Senior Sister Nangong sought out Xiao Chang..."

"I don't like beating around the bush,"

Nangong Yueqing's tone was direct and crisp:

"Tomorrow, I will descend the mountain and head to Tianqing County to watch the battle between Qin Muyuan of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect and the Luo Family, thereby broadening my experience."

"If you are willing to accompany me, wait for me at the foot of the mountain at sunrise tomorrow, and I will take you along."

Thump!

Hearing this, Xiao Chang's heart gave a sudden thump.

He certainly didn't think that Senior Sister Nangong, whose strength had reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, had taken a fancy to him and wanted to take him along to watch the fun.

This Senior Sister bringing him along was probably not because of him, but because of Brother Qin!

But... how did she know about the relationship between him and Brother Qin?

"Senior Sister..."

"The marvelous techniques of Immortal Cultivators are not something a Mortal like you, who isn't even considered an Alchemist, can anticipate."

Just as Xiao Chang's words left his mouth, Nangong Yueqing interrupted:

"Your previous actions in teaching that Disciple a lesson were not thorough enough, and the traces you left behind were not cleaned up properly."

Hearing this, Xiao Chang's heart shook, and his pupils shrank abruptly.

Could it be that the matter of him secretly putting sacks over people and scattering lime to deal with that Outer Sect Disciple had already been detected and recognized?

"Fortunately, I have already dealt with it for you and cleaned up the loose ends."

Nangong Yueqing glanced at Xiao Chang and said indifferently:

"And this is the reason why I decided to take you to Tianqing County."

"Do you still have any questions?"

"No more, Senior Sister Nangong." Even though Xiao Chang still had a chest full of questions, hearing Senior Sister Nangong ask that question, he didn't dare to ask anymore.

"Very well. Before sunrise tomorrow, go to the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain; make sure not to be late."

"Yes, Senior Sister Nangong."

Nangong Yueqing nodded slightly, cast her spell, and left silently.
