75: Chapter 75: What a misfortune for our sect

"What? That old man Qin Xiao is actually a Magic Power Realm expert?"

Ye Tian heard the passerby's conversation, his pupils constricted, and his face was full of disbelief.

An old man who only achieved a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm at over 80 years old, how could he become a Magic Power Realm expert within six years?

Ye Tian was full of questions. Could it be that this old man was hiding his strength, or had he obtained some great Opportunity?

"Sigh, it's fortunate that this Senior Qin hid his strength well. Otherwise, he might have died long ago. Not to mention the people of the Lei Family, even before they arrived, Yang Hao, the disciple that Senior Qin took in a few years ago, had already attacked the Qin Mansion, intending to wipe out the entire Qin Family. If it weren't for Senior Qin hiding his strength, he might have actually succeeded, tsk tsk..."

"Brother, is that true? Tell me more..."

"You've asked the right person. My cousin is a guard at the Qin Mansion, and he told me this himself. You should be aware of the feud between the Qin Family and the Yang Family. Back then, when Senior Qin made a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm, the Yang Family had no choice but to leave Spiritwind City..."

"In the end, the Yang Family obtained a millennial zhu fruit outside and gave it to Yang Hao to consume. However, this also attracted the pursuit of those blinded by greed, forcing them to flee back to Spiritwind City to seek the protection of the Qin Family. In the end, Senior Qin was kind-hearted; he stepped in to drive away those pursuers, saved the Yang Family, and even took Yang Hao as his disciple to teach him carefully..."

"Then he took the Yang Family's eldest Young Miss, Yang Qingwu, as his concubine. Originally, this should have been a case of family becoming closer, but a few days ago, Yang Hao returned after completing his training, having made a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm and greatly increasing his strength. Upon hearing this, he actually went straight to attack the Qin Family, and even openly declared that he would annihilate the entire Qin Family..."

"Tsk tsk, you should know what happened next. Yang Hao was severely injured by Senior Qin and was carried out like a dead dog..."

"Sigh, I never expected that the respected Senior Qin would take in such a wicked disciple. Truly a disgrace to the Revered Master's sect!"

"Who's to say otherwise? Senior Qin showed great kindness to the Yang Family. I never expected that this Yang Hao would commit such an act of returning kindness with enmity..."

The crowd discussed heatedly, full of contempt for Yang Hao. Everyone hates those who return kindness with enmity, especially since it was common knowledge that the Qin Family had been a benefactor to the Yang Family. That Yang Hao, upon gaining some power, actually wanted to kill his former Revered Master, which was truly shameful.

Ever since Senior Qin made a Breakthrough to the Innate Realm and completely took control of Spiritwind City, he had been vigorously developing the city, leading to significant growth in security, population, and economy. Therefore, the people of Spiritwind City were quite supportive of the Qin Family.

"What? That old man Qin Xiao has already taken Qingwu into his household..."

Hearing that Yang Qingwu had already married Qin Xiao, Ye Tian felt his whole body shake, and he almost fell to the ground. He instantly became distraught—his Qingwu had actually married someone else!

"Old thief Qin Xiao, you have gone too far! My Qingwu..."

Ye Tian's eyes were bloodshot, filled with hatred and rage. He gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

Qin Xiao had given him hope, making him believe that as long as he had enough strength before Yang Qingwu turned 18, he could protect her well and not let her come to harm!

But the reality was that Qin Xiao had just been speaking casually back then, and he had acted ahead of time. Now, even if he rushed back to Spiritwind City, it was too late. His childhood sweetheart had long since become another man's wife.

"Old thief Qin Xiao, I am going to kill you..."

Ye Tian was a bit crazed, aggressively heading towards the Qin Mansion. Qin Xiao not only snatched his mother, but even his childhood sweetheart was not spared. It was truly hateful.

"Kid, calm down."

Just then, Yao Linglong's voice reached Ye Tian's mind.

"Revered Master, I cannot be calm. Qingwu has married, and she married that hateful old thief Qin!"

Ye Tian roared hysterically in his heart, feeling incredibly painful. The girl he had been thinking about constantly had actually married his foster father. How could he accept this?

"Then can you defeat him? Can you defeat a Martial Artist in the Magic Power Realm? Doing this is undoubtedly seeking death; it has no meaning."

Yao Linglong's cold voice echoed in Ye Tian's mind.

"Is it not possible even with you, Revered Master?"

"I only have a Soul left. Every bit of Soul Power I use is less, bringing me one step closer to death. A Martial Artist in the Magic Power Realm is not that easy to kill."

Yao Linglong was silent for a moment before slowly speaking. Her current situation was not optimistic; without a Physical Body, her Soul was also becoming weaker day by day. She spent most of her time in a deep sleep, and she didn't know when her Soul might dissipate.

Bang!

Ye Tian smashed his fist hard against the wall, leaving web-like cracks on the surface.

"I hate this!"

He naturally understood the situation of his beautiful Revered Master; he had just been holding onto a glimmer of hope.

"Kid, with your Aptitude, making a Breakthrough to the Magic Power Realm and surpassing your foster father is only a matter of time. What you need to do now is Cultivate well. When the time comes, no one will be able to stop you from doing what you want."

Seeing Ye Tian's heartbroken expression, Yao Linglong offered words of comfort.

"Yes, I understand, Revered Master."

Ye Tian clenched his fists, suppressing the pain in his heart, and spoke. His Revered Master was right; what he had lost now, he would take back with his own hands in the future.

...

In the back courtyard of the Yang Family.

Yang Hao lay on the bed, his eyes dull, with no trace of luster in them.

To teach him a profound lesson, Qin Xiao had struck hard. Although he hadn't crippled him, it was enough to keep him bedridden for ten days or half a month.

"Brother Hao, how are you?"

Ye Tian pushed open the door, walked in, looked at Yang Hao lying on the bed, and asked as he arrived at the bedside.

"Little Tian, why are you back? Don't worry, I won't die."

Seeing that it was Ye Tian, some luster returned to Yang Hao's eyes, and he forced a smile.

"Brother Hao, it's good that you're not dead. When you fell off the cliff, I thought..."

Ye Tian paused here. He had seen Yang Hao knocked off the cliff with his own eyes and thought he had died. He didn't expect that upon returning to Spiritwind City, he would find that Yang Hao was still alive. It was truly an unexpected joy.

"I was lucky, I didn't die, and I even obtained a bit of an Opportunity!"

Yang Hao said with a complex expression. After obtaining the Opportunity, he had been high-spirited, feeling that with his ability, he could definitely lead the Yang Family to the Peak. Who would have thought that Qin Xiao would teach him a harsh lesson, not only beating him into severe injury but also stealing the Cultivation Technique Secret Manual left behind by the Ancient Saint of the Great Wilderness.

"That's good. Qingwu, she..."

Speaking of this, Ye Tian fell silent, not knowing how to continue.

Yang Hao also fell silent. The fact that Yang Qingwu was forced to marry Qin Xiao was a pain that would last forever in both their hearts.

"Brother Hao, I have a Medicinal Pill for healing here. Take it and rest well. When you recover, we will think of a way to rescue Qingwu."

Ye Tian took out a Medicinal Pill and fed it to Yang Hao.
