143: Chapter 143 You only turn around like that after I come out, do you think you're so classy?

The fire-ox carriage buzzed.

Sitting inside the fire-ox carriage, Qin Muyuan heard the angry shouts coming from outside, but his hand holding the wine cup didn't pause at all, nor did his expression change in the slightest.

He had already encountered this kind of scenario—where beating the junior brings the Elder knocking on the door—more times than he could count.

He was long used to it.

At this moment, he was only worried about one thing—who exactly was the disciple of that old man outside?

Mainly because he had killed too many people, Qin Muyuan couldn't recognize them anymore.

Just like how a vampire wouldn't remember how many slices of bread they had eaten.

If he mistook that person's disciple, it would feel rather awkward.

On this side, Qin Muyuan didn't have much of a reaction.

However, beside him, Princess Lin Qingwu heard the commotion outside, and the smile on her face abruptly vanished.

"Ha?! How dare they come looking for this young lady... and even dare to show up while Your Highness is entertaining Young Master Muyuan, truly impudent!"

Princess Lin Qingwu stood up and cursed angrily.

However, the next second she suddenly remembered the ladylike image she had been portraying in front of Qin Muyuan just moments before.

Thus, she pretended to sit down nonchalantly, and with a completely innocent expression, she gently said to Qin Muyuan:

"Young Master Muyuan, no need to worry, Qingwu can handle this matter…"

"No need."

Qin Muyuan stood up and shook his head: "I can handle it."

Still the same old words.

The experience would be enjoyed by him alone.

"Young Master Muyuan, you are Qingwu's guest, this matter should still…"

"I can handle it."

Qin Muyuan looked at Princess Lin Qingwu, cutting off her words.

Seeing Qin Muyuan directly interrupt her actions, Princess Lin Qingwu's breathing hitched for a moment, and she gently lowered her head to say:

"Then as Young Master Muyuan wishes."

As she spoke, Princess Lin Qingwu, with her head lowered, lightly bit her lips:

"So… so overbearing… Just like this…"

She circulated her Qi, hurriedly calming her pounding heart which felt like a little deer running wild, and followed Qin Muyuan out of the carriage.

Looking outside the fire-ox carriage.

A group of Daliang Country guards wore solemn expressions, holding short blades and long spears as they stared fixedly ahead.

Meanwhile, Princess Lin Qingwu's guard, Uncle Yang, also had a heavy expression at this moment, driving the Qi within his body to its optimal state.

In front of them, a withered Daoist dressed in black daoist robes, with gray hair and a wrinkled face, was standing directly on the path of the fire-ox carriage.

This withered Daoist stood with his hands behind his back in mid-air, countless densely packed Gu insects swimming within his pupils.

At this moment, the withered Daoist suddenly spun around, the Qi within his body surging upward like a reversing long river, creating a massive momentum.

With a glance, he swept his gaze across Qin Muyuan who walked out from the carriage: "It is you—"

"What the hell are you putting on an act for."

Before the words could finish, Qin Muyuan directly cut him off.

Qin Muyuan raised his hand and spread it, holding a bolter gun in his left hand and a chainsword in his right, his dice daoist robe fluttering in the wind.

He gazed at the withered Daoist, the blood and Qi inside his body exploding like a blazing furnace, dozens of layers of blood seals stacking upon each other:

"You were already blocking the carriage, yet you insisted on waiting until I came out to put on a fake turn-around. Do you think you look cool?"

"Could it be that you think you specifically have to wait for me to come out before turning around to reveal your ugly-ass face, giving off so much aura? Giving off such a vibe?"

Qin Muyuan's words sounded like a grand voice coming from the heavens, shocking everyone present—whether it was Uncle Yang, Princess Lin Qingwu, or the withered Daoist—into a daze.

Only Wangcai, sitting atop the fire-ox, tilted its head back:

"Awooo awooo awooo!"

The sound of the wolf howl echoed in agreement.

"Pfft."

Originally Princess Lin Qingwu hadn't felt much, but now, after Qin Muyuan put it that way, coupled with Wangcai's agreement, Princess Lin Qingwu instantly broke her composure.

She was wondering why the Xuangu Sect Sect Master—meaning the withered Daoist—had clearly spoken earlier.

Yet at this moment, he was slowly turning his head to look at them.

Turns out, it was just to look cool!

Mm, in Young Master Muyuan's words, it was… "full of aura".

"You!"

Hearing Qin Muyuan directly expose his act, the Xuangu Sect Sect Master flew into a rage.

This time, the anger was genuine, not the feigned anger from before.

But anger aside, before achieving his goal, the withered Daoist still forcefully swallowed this breath.

He suddenly agitated the Qi within his body, and countless bizarre Gu insects of various colors surged out from his sleeves and body.

Their vibrating wings made a sound resembling the roar of an engine.

"Halt! Qin Muyuan!"

The withered Daoist pointed at Qin Muyuan and shouted angrily:

"You killed my disciple in public. According to the rules of our Xuangu Sect, you must be executed on the spot!"

"However, considering that you are gifted and have reached your current Realm at such a young age, which is truly not easy, you are a rare talent of our Southern Wilderness!"

"Therefore, this old man has decided to spare your life! You only need to present the method to break Qi, and this old man can spare you, and even introduce you into the Xuangu Sect, making you an external Elder of the Xuangu Sect…"

"Oh~~~" Qin Muyuan let out a long 'oh', understanding now.

Hearing Xuangu Sect, he had already recognized the identity of the person before him—the master of Heart Gu Daoist Xin Gu Daozi, whom he had directly killed in a single move.

Not only did he understand the identity, but he also understood the withered Daoist's goal.

His goal surprisingly wasn't to avenge his disciple Heart Gu Daoist Xin Gu Daozi, but rather he had set his sights on [Shadow of Law-Breaking].

It seemed that his [Shadow of Law-Breaking], specialized against Immortal Cultivator, was indeed quite a powerful method.

Even the Sect Master of a major sect in the Southern Wilderness like the Xuangu Sect was actually willing to come find him personally to demand it.

However.

Just because the withered Daoist wanted it, did Qin Muyuan have to give it to him?

Qin Muyuan glanced at the withered Daoist: "A stray cat or dog like you is worthy of demanding a Cultivation Technique from me?"

As soon as the words 'stray cat or dog' came out, the withered Daoist instantly flew into a rage: "What did you say—"

Before his words could finish, Qin Muyuan shrugged and ignored him, instantly deploying Tiangang Treading Wind. His entire person was like a hurricane as he already closed in before the withered Daoist.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The chainsword rapidly spun, emitting a violent roar.

The next moment, Qin Muyuan, having closed in on the withered Daoist, exploded with blood and Qi all over his body, fiercely slashing the chainsword toward the withered Daoist's neck.

Swish.

The chainsword fell, but his hand did not feel the sensation of striking a solid object.

Qin Muyuan raised his head slightly, looking at the withered Daoist who had already retreated twenty zhang away.

"Such fast speed…"

Qin Muyuan narrowed his eyes.

At this speed, although his vision could still catch it, his body shape and movements couldn't keep up.

Moreover.

This withered Daoist's movement was rather abnormal; without any pre-animation or exertion, it was as if he blinked, leaving a trail of afterimages as he appeared in the distance.

"Shadow Step Divine Ability!"

Right at this moment, Princess Lin Qingwu's voice came from behind, explaining to Qin Muyuan:

"Young Master Muyuan, this is a Divine Ability he has mastered, named [Shadow Step]."

"This Divine Ability can elevate speed to a level that ordinary Immortal Cultivator can hardly reach!"

"If there are no corresponding Divine Ability methods, it is extremely difficult to restrict!"
