203: Chapter 203: Oni Sect

Originally, he should have headed to Zhongzhou before refining his Lifebound Treasure, but Qin Chuan chose to refine his Lifebound Treasure first. Before refining it, he also had Ye Nantian keep an eye on the situation of the Ghost Sect in Zhongzhou.

If there were any developments, Ye Nantian would notify him immediately.

However, Ye Nantian had not yet come to Yunding Villa as of today, which indicated that there were no developments regarding the Ghost Sect in Zhongzhou.

Qin Chuan had a rough guess: they had captured many young girls, and it was most likely some kind of evil cultivation. In the Cultivation World, absorbing the essence of young men and women was a not uncommon method of cultivation.

There were even many of the Yao Race who used the Golden Core of the Human Race as nourishment.

Before long, Qin Chuan appeared at Ye Nantian's residence.

"Mr. Qin!"

Ye Nantian said respectfully.

"What is the situation with the Ghost Sect in Zhongzhou?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Mr. Qin, I was just about to go find you. The people I sent have already sent back word that the Ghost Sect seems to be holding some kind of sacrificial ceremony today," Ye Nantian said in a deep voice.

Qin Chuan disappeared from where he stood in an instant.

Ye Nantian was about to ask if he should prepare a private jet, but Qin Chuan had already vanished, which left him somewhat startled.

"Could Mr. Qin be intending to use his light movement techniques to travel to Zhongzhou?"

Jinling was not exactly far from Zhongzhou, about eight hundred kilometers, but for an ordinary Martial Artist to try to get there using light movement techniques was almost a pipe dream.

But Mr. Qin could not be judged by ordinary standards.

At this moment, in Zhongzhou.

This city, known as the capital of martial arts.

The situation had been changing during this period, especially after Hai Dongqing was killed and the Xu Family was wiped out; many Martial Arts Families were emerging, wanting to fill the position left by the Xu Family.

There were about ten families competing.

The most formidable among them was the Zhou Family.

However, the Zhou Family had not been peaceful lately. After the eldest young master of the Zhou Family went to Jinling, he returned severely injured and died a few days later.

The Zhou Family had since gone quiet.

However, the Zhou Family would not let it go at that. Zhou Yucheng, the head of the Zhou Family, was currently taking a new batch of young girls to the Ghost Sect.

This batch of young girls had been captured over the last two days and were being sent by the Zhou Family to the Ghost Sect.

For many years, the Zhou Family and the Ghost Sect had maintained close ties.

In terms of strength, the Zhou Family had certainly long surpassed the previous Xu Family, but because the Wei Family was behind the Xu Family, even the Ghost Sect dared not easily make a move against them.

Now that the Xu Family had been wiped out, the spoils of the Xu Family had basically been divided between the Ghost Sect and the Zhou Family.

This had allowed the Zhou Family to completely pull ahead of the pack.

But what was unexpected was that Zhou Yucheng's son had met with an incident some time ago.

And the reason he had not gone to take revenge was that he knew the person who had injured his son was none other than the Land Immortal of the Dragon Kingdom, Supreme Qin?

Did he not want revenge?

That was absolutely impossible!

Zhou Yucheng was well aware that he could not be a match for Qin Chuan, so he wanted to count on the Ghost Sect to help him make a move.

During this period, he had captured countless young girls from Zhongzhou and had sent them all to the Ghost Sect.

When Sect Leader Gui, Gui Jianchou, saw that Zhou Yucheng had brought another batch of young girls, he was quite satisfied: "You have done well. I will credit you for this!"

"Sect Leader Gui, I only hope that you can avenge my son!" Zhou Yucheng wanted revenge every single moment.

Because this was his only son!

Of course, he was not his only child; he still had several daughters.

But a son was unique!

Such Martial Arts Families placed extreme importance on continuing the Family line.

"The one who killed your son is that Supreme Qin?"

Gui Jianchou pondered: "I don't have much certainty about killing Supreme Qin. However, if I can absorb the essence of so many young girls, it could allow my strength to briefly erupt with power surpassing that of a Land Immortal, and perhaps I could help you kill him."

"Thank you, Sect Leader Gui!" This was the promise Zhou Yucheng wanted.

However, Gui Jianchou thought for a moment and added: "I cannot take the initiative to go look for that Supreme Qin, unless he comes to Zhongzhou!"

"Sect Leader Gui, when the time comes, I will find a way to make that Supreme Qin come to Zhongzhou!" Zhou Yucheng also knew that getting Gui Jianchou to make a special trip to Jinling was basically impossible.

"Bastard!"

"Release my daughter!!"

At this moment, a roar came from the entrance of the Sect.

"This is..." Zhou Yucheng frowned.

"Hmph!"

Gui Jianchou let out a cold, annoyed snort: "That man named Xu Yuanlong—his daughter was captured by me earlier, and he has been running to my Sect to bark ever since."

"I didn't want to kill him, but since he insists on seeking death, then I shall send him on his way!"

"Zhou Yucheng, I leave him to you!"

After saying this, Gui Jianchou turned and walked into the Sect.

Zhou Yucheng brought his men to the entrance of the Sect and looked down at Xu Yuanlong with disdain.

"Oh, I was wondering who it was; it turns out to be the head of the Xu Family."

"Zhou Yucheng!" Xu Yuanlong clearly knew who Zhou Yucheng was. The Xu Family was also a Martial Arts Family, though not the previous Zhongzhou Xu Family.

Zhou Yucheng said indifferently: "If you get lost on your own, you might still save your life. If you insist on having your own way, then you can only die here."

"Release my daughter!" Xu Yuanlong roared.

"Stubborn and unrepentant!" Zhou Yucheng waved his hand. "Kill him!"

Several subordinates shot out at once; they were all Martial Artists.

In the past, it would not have been a big problem for Zhou Yucheng to deal with these few lackeys, but he was currently severely injured. Because he had repeatedly broken into the Ghost Sect during this time and had been beaten out each time, his body was already overwhelmed.

As soon as the exchange began, Xu Yuanlong was beaten until he vomited blood uncontrollably, and eventually, he collapsed to the ground.

Zhou Yucheng took a sword and walked up to Xu Yuanlong, looking down at him from above: "The sacrifice is about to begin, and your daughter's life essence will soon be absorbed by Sect Leader Gui. Being able to become power for Sect Leader Gui is her blessing; don't be ungrateful."

"Beast!!!" Xu Yuanlong shrieked.

"Seeking death!"

Zhou Yucheng thrust his sword down.

Snap!

But before the sword could fully descend, it snapped directly in two.

Immediately after, a powerful aura suddenly erupted and shot over, sending Zhou Yucheng flying.

"Pfft..."

Zhou Yucheng spat out a mouthful of blood, nearly losing his life: "Who?!"

A young figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Ghost Sect, standing beside Xu Yuanlong.

"Supreme... Supreme Qin?!"

Xu Yuanlong's face lit up with joy.

The person who had arrived was none other than Qin Chuan.

Half a month had passed since their previous agreement, and Xu Yuanlong was extremely anxious; he thought Qin Chuan had failed to keep his promise.

Therefore, he had not held any hope for Qin Chuan.

Xu Yuanlong did not blame Qin Chuan in his heart, but what made him overjoyed was that today, half a month later, Qin Chuan had finally appeared.

Qin Chuan moved his palm, and a Medicinal Pill entered Xu Yuanlong's mouth. He then looked toward the Ghost Sect, his voice calm, yet it resonated throughout the firmament.

"I, Qin Chuan, have come for a battle. Ghost Sect, come out and die!"
