360: Chapter 360 Do you know why I didn't kill you?

At this moment, the giant python noticed Qin Chuan. Its pair of scarlet snake eyes scrutinized him carefully, gradually becoming wary; it had clearly realized that Qin Chuan was the dangerous one.

Ignoring Saintess Yin Ying, who was right in front of it, its massive body suddenly twisted, lunging straight toward Qin Chuan. Its blood-red maw opened with a boom, intending to swallow Qin Chuan in one gulp.

"Retreat!"

Qin Chuan, however, remained motionless, uttering only that single word. His eyes were incomparably calm, yet a terrifying aura emanated from his body.

Whether it be animals or Spirit Beasts that have gained sentience, they all possess a keen sense for danger. Although Qin Chuan had not made a move, this single glance was enough for the giant python to know that this was an extremely terrifying figure, an existence it could not afford to provoke.

In an instant, the massive body that had been lunging forward froze, coming to a dead stop in mid-air.

The giant python looked back at the Spirit Spring, its snake eyes churning with intense unwillingness. This was the territory it had occupied for many years, not to mention the Spirit Spring and the soul crystal—how could it easily give them up?

But if it continued to attack the human before it, it would most likely be killed.

In the end, the giant python let out a low, frustrated hiss. Its massive body slowly retreated, looking back every few steps, filled with reluctance for the Spirit Spring and wariness of Qin Chuan.

It gradually disappeared into the jungle...

"It... just left like that?" Saintess Yin Ying came to her senses, her face full of disbelief.

This giant python had clearly been about to swallow Qin Chuan just a moment ago, so why did it suddenly stop? She couldn't quite figure it out, but since the giant python had run away, it was naturally a happy outcome for everyone.

After taking a deep breath, Saintess Yin Ying began to settle the score, questioning Qin Chuan.

"Why didn't you protect me just now? I was almost swallowed by that giant python! I had originally intended to credit you for your service, but your performance has disappointed me too much. I won't give you a single share of the treasures here..."

Saintess Yin Ying had originally wanted to scold him a bit more, but her words came to an abrupt halt as she met Qin Chuan's gaze and was actually startled into taking several steps back.

What kind of look was that? It seemed calm, yet it glinted with a bone-chilling coldness. Just one look was enough to instill fear, a fear that seemed to seep into the marrow of one's bones.

Qin Chuan ignored Saintess Yin Ying and punched toward the Spirit Spring. Spiritual Qi erupted, forming a fist that blasted the Spirit Spring open, releasing a rich, pure Soul Power at that moment.

The soul crystal was the size of a fist, emitting a deep blue glow throughout.

Qin Chuan grabbed at the Void Realm with his palm, and the soul crystal appeared in his hand.

For the Martial Artists on Earth, the soul crystal had only two main uses. The first was to use the soul crystal to increase one's own cultivation.

The soul crystal had been absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for years and was nurtured in the Spirit Spring, enough to allow an 8th Realm Martial Artist to Breakthrough to the Ninth Realm.

The second use was to forge it into a top-tier Magical Artifact, but looking across the Martial Arts World on Earth, there were probably few Great Masters of Magical Artifacts who could completely refine a soul crystal into a Magical Artifact.

For Qin Chuan, this was the best cultivation resource for an Innate Dao Body.

"A soul crystal, it really is a soul crystal!"

Saintess Yin Ying, who was on the side, was already extremely excited: "I order you to hand over the soul crystal; the Yin Sect wants it!"

After going through so much trouble, wasn't it all for this soul crystal?

With the soul crystal, her strength could achieve a massive Breakthrough.

"A mere Yin Sect, and you want to take the soul crystal from my hands?" Qin Chuan said contemptuously.

"You... how dare you?" Saintess Yin Ying was furious.

The Yin Sect was a major School; it was one thing for the Hong Sect to think they were a small School, but for a scoundrel who popped up from who knows where to dare to say such a thing?

Up to this point, Saintess Yin Ying still had not realized Qin Chuan's terrifying strength.

This couldn't be helped; her strength was too weak. In her view, the two previous members of the Hong Sect were at most at the Eighth Realm Peak, just possessing some tricks.

And the person before her was at most a Ninth Realm practitioner. Although a Ninth Realm Martial Artist was called a Land Immortal in the Martial Arts World, compared to the Yin Sect, they were still far behind.

Therefore, this Saintess of the Yin Sect completely disregarded Qin Chuan.

After getting the soul crystal, Qin Chuan was not in a hurry to absorb it; instead, he grabbed Saintess Yin Ying and left the valley.

As for the Spirit Spring, Qin Chuan did not intend to absorb it. With his current strength at the Core Formation Realm, even if he absorbed the entire Spirit Spring, it would be of no use.

Instead, he discovered that this Spirit Spring had nurtured quite a few Spirit Medicines and Spirit Beasts.

If he came back in a few years after these Spirit Medicines had matured, they could be used to refine higher-grade Medicinal Pills; and these Spirit Beasts could also be refined into Spirit Pets.

"Mr. Qin?"

After coming out, he met Xu Weiwei, who was waiting.

From the time Qin Chuan entered the valley until he reappeared, it hadn't taken much time—not even an hour.

Qin Chuan looked back at the Dongshan Valley. He knew that since people from the Yin Sect and the Hong Sect could enter, it meant they already knew how to get into the valley.

For this reason, Qin Chuan reinforced this natural Formation. As for these Martial Artists on Earth, as long as no one above the God Realm appeared, it would be impossible to break this Formation.

Even if someone above the God Realm wanted to break the Formation, they would have to pay a considerable price.

"You had better hand the soul crystal to me, otherwise the Yin Sect will not let you off!" Saintess Yin Ying said angrily.

But Qin Chuan completely ignored her and took the two women back to the Xu Family in the Donghai City area.

"Mr. Qin, who is this?" Xu Linzhou asked, somewhat surprised after seeing Saintess Yin Ying.

"I am the Yin Sect's Saintess, Saintess Yin Ying!"

Saintess Yin Ying introduced herself haughtily: "You had better let your friend hand over the soul crystal, otherwise, if the Yin Sect gets angry, blood will flow for a thousand miles!"

The Yin Sect?

Xu Linzhou's expression changed immediately. The Xu Family was, after all, a Martial Arts Family; how could they not know of the Yin Sect? This was an extremely powerful Sect in the Dragon Kingdom.

"Mr. Qin, the Yin Sect's strength is extremely terrifying..." Xu Linzhou lowered his voice, wanting to warn Qin Chuan.

Although Qin Chuan's strength was very strong and he was even called the legend of the current age, the Yin Sect was, after all, not a small School.

Qin Chuan was indifferent: "A mere Yin Sect, why should it be taken seriously?"

"How dare you!" Saintess Yin Ying said viciously: "Looking across the Dragon Kingdom, who would dare to call our Yin Sect a small School?"

"I'm telling you, if the soul crystal is not handed over, the Yin Sect will surely tear you into ten thousand pieces!!!"

"And all of you..."

As she spoke, she swept her gaze over everyone in the Xu Family and said, word by word: "You! All! Must! Die!"

Everyone in the Xu Family couldn't help but shiver.

They were, after all, an ordinary Martial Arts Family with a particularly low level; how could they dare to provoke the Yin Sect? They were doomed now.

"Do you know why I didn't kill you?"

And just at this moment, Qin Chuan's voice slowly rang out.

"Heh, isn't it just because you're afraid of the Yin Sect?" Saintess Yin Ying said righteously.

In her view, Qin Chuan saving her was all because he wanted to curry favor with her or with the Yin Sect.

"Afraid of the Yin Sect?" Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "You overestimate the Yin Sect and underestimate my strength."

"The reason I didn't kill you is because I want you to take me to the Yin Sect!"
