43: Chapter 43 Grandma, please don't talk nonsense, okay? It makes me sound like I started something and then abandoned it.

It was the dead of night.

The bright moon hung in the sky, and the night was deep and quiet.

On top of a pavilion in the Ye Family, Li Qing stood with his arms crossed, waiting quietly.

Tang Meier had successfully broken off the engagement during the day, but the System had not given any rewards, which meant this melon-eating was not over yet.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft."

Just then, a noise erupted near the pavilion, and a faint smell of blood began to spread.

"It has begun."

A flash of light gleamed in Li Qing's eyes.

【I don't see anyone. It's Gu Beichen's Shadow Clone.】

Li Qing closed his eyes to sense it.

【Two of them.】

【With Gu Beichen's current cultivation, two Shadow Clones are his limit.】

【What a pity. Ye Lixian just happened to be breaking through in the Great Heaven Nightmare Technique tonight, and she was in seclusion in a secret room. Things just happened to coincide, and the Ye Family is being completely assassinated.】

"Clang, clang, clang."

Suddenly, the sound of metal clashing rang out nearby, the crisp sound appearing extremely jarring.

"Oh?"

A look of surprise appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

【This is Ye Lixian's Nightmare Soul fighting against the Shadow Clone.】

【That's not right. The original plot didn't have this part. The plot has deviated again.】

Like the Shadow Clone, the Nightmare Soul could merge with the shadows, appearing and disappearing like a ghost. When they fought, one could only hear the sounds but could not see their figures.

【It was blocked.】

A flash of light gleamed in Li Qing's eyes.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out in the darkness, and countless figures flooded into the Ye Family, beginning a frenzied slaughter.

This completely stunned Li Qing.

This part was not in the original book's plot.

【These are the Tang Family Iron Guards.】

【Damn, why did the Tang Family get involved?】

"Hum."

Just then, a bright moon rose in the depths of the Ye Family, its brilliant silver radiance making the entire Ye Family seem as if it were in broad daylight.

"Gu Beichen has taken action himself."

"That location should be where Ye Lixian is in seclusion."

Li Qing narrowed his eyes.

"Hum."

Suddenly, the Void Realm near Li Qing vibrated, and a nearly invisible phantom figure emerged.

"Please, Fellow Daoist, take action to help my Ye Family. I am at a critical stage of my Breakthrough and cannot take action myself."

The phantom bowed, and it was actually Ye Lixian's voice.

【This is Ye Lixian's Nightmare Soul. How did she find me?】

【If I take action, I can naturally resolve the Ye Family's crisis.】

【But why should I take action? Do I still want the System rewards or not?】

【Once I take action, the King Sealing Realm reward will be wiped out, and my Realm will fall back to the Nascent Soul Stage. The price is too high; I won't do it.】

He is in the King Sealing Realm. That's great.

Ye Lixian felt a surge of joy in her heart.

"If you, Fellow Daoist, take action to save the Ye Family from peril, I, Ye Lixian, am willing to offer the Great Heaven Nightmare Bead."

Ye Lixian said urgently.

【The Great Heaven Nightmare Bead is indeed a good thing.】

【Cultivating within the range covered by the Great Heaven Nightmare Bead is said to increase Cultivation speed. This is a precious treasure for any Cultivator.】

【I didn't expect Ye Lixian to value her Family so much.】

【Alright, villains usually value Family ties very much.】

【But the Great Heaven Nightmare Bead is useless to me. I won't do it...】

"Waa..."

Just then, the sound of an infant crying appeared nearby. Several Ye Family women and children were holding a few infants and running toward the outside of the estate, but they were surrounded by the Tang Family Iron Guards.

"Kill!"

The Tang Family Iron Guards were like killing machines, raising their swords and striking toward the infants.

When had Li Qing ever seen such a bloody scene?

"Swish."

Almost without thinking, he appeared in front of these women and children. He stomped his foot on the ground, and the nearby Tang Family Iron Guards were all shaken to death.

【Ding, detected that the Host intervened in the plot while eating melons. Current Realm is King Sealing Realm. Reward cleared. Congratulations to the Host for your cultivation falling to the Late Nascent Soul Perfection Stage.】

Li Qing: "..."

System, how do you have the nerve to congratulate me?

【In the end, I cannot bear to see others harm infants.】

【My cultivation fell four minor Realms and one major Realm.】

What?

The consequences of his actions were so severe.

I, Ye Lixian, will definitely repay what I owe you.

"Don't panic, don't panic."

"I currently have 134,000 Modification Points. Breaking through from the Late Nascent Soul Perfection Stage to the King Sealing Realm requires 100,000 Modification Points. I can still return to the King Sealing Realm."

Li Qing's mind steadied.

"System, if I use Modification Points to Breakthrough to the King Sealing Realm now, will I be punished again?" Li Qing asked in his heart.

【Ding, no. The System has already punished the Host.】

"System, I want to Breakthrough to the Early Stage of the King Sealing Realm."

【Ding, 100,000 Modification Points deducted. Current balance is 34,000 points.】

【Ding, congratulations to the Host for breaking through to the Early Stage of the King Sealing Realm.】

With his cultivation returned, Li Qing felt reassured.

To deal with a child of destiny like Gu Beichen, one's cultivation cannot be weak. Children of destiny are all cheaters.

【Although I was impulsive just now.】

【But if it happened again, I would still take action.】

【I am a human being after all.】

Meanwhile, a large number of Cultivators began to appear in the nearby sky. The incident at the Ye Family had finally alarmed the entire Qingxian City.

Among them, a stunning woman was hovering in the nearby sky, her gaze falling on Li Qing.

It was Wu Luoluo.

"Brother Qing is truly the person Luoluo has set her eyes on. You are handsome and kind-hearted." Wu Luoluo smiled brightly.

"Luoluo will come to help you now."

Wu Luoluo's figure flashed, and she landed in the Ye Family, beginning to kill the Tang Family Iron Guards.

"What's going on? Why is the Tang Family taking action against the Ye Family?"

"I'm not sure, but Tang Meier went to the Ye Family to break off the engagement during the day. Could this be related?"

"Didn't the Ye Family return the marriage contract to Tang Meier? There wasn't any dispute, and yet they still want to exterminate the entire Ye Family. Isn't that going too far?"

"This is a Dao Body Manifestation: Heavenly Heart Gives Birth to a Bright Moon. The person who took action is Gu Beichen, the Saint of the Moon Wheel Holy Land."

Sounds of discussion flooded the nearby sky.

"The Ye Family has received reinforcements. Killing the Iron Guards is like cutting grass. This strength is too terrifying."

"There is an expert helping the Ye Family."

Many Cultivators discovered the presence of Li Qing and Wu Luoluo.

"Why are you here?"

Li Qing also discovered Wu Luoluo's figure, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Some people don't want me, so I had no choice but to follow you here myself." Wu Luoluo had a look of grievance on her face.

Li Qing: "..."

【My dear lady, please don't talk nonsense, okay? You're making it sound like I'm someone who abandons a woman after toying with her.】

Hmph, if it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, I would cry for you to see.

I have been chasing after you for so many days, and as soon as we meet, you despise me.

Wu Luoluo gritted her teeth and blew up a Tang Family Iron Guard.

"Hum."

Just then, that great moon rotated and suppressed toward a pavilion in the Ye Family.

"I'll leave this place to you; I'm going to check over there."

Li Qing's figure flashed, and he headed deep into the Ye Family.

Meanwhile, Ye Lixian in the secret room felt the bright moon suppressing from above and felt a bit panicked. If her Breakthrough were interrupted, she would definitely suffer a backlash, and her cultivation falling would be a certainty.

"Damn it, if I weren't in the middle of a Breakthrough, I could slap this Gu Beichen to death with one hand." A heaven-shaking killing intent surged in Ye Lixian's eyes.

"Die!"

Gu Beichen pointed at the pavilion in front of him, and the bright moon suppressed directly down.

"Boom."

The pavilion turned into powder in an instant.

The ground cracked open, revealing Ye Lixian's figure.

The bright moon did not stop at all and suppressed toward Ye Lixian.

Seeing this, Ye Lixian was just about to give up her Breakthrough.

"Swish."

A figure landed in front of her, and he spat out the word "Break."

A powerful force turned into a beam of light and pierced through the bright moon, and that bright moon shattered like a mirror.

Li Qing had taken action.

【Anyway, I have already been punished by the System, so I might as well see this good deed through to the end. This punishment cannot be suffered in vain.】

【I, Li Qing, also have a temper.】
