135: Qiu Qinxue appears, the remnant soul revenge flow (4k)

After Jun Lingxiao fell unconscious and was sent home, stories about his deeds spread throughout the Ten Directions Immortal Court at an incredible speed.

“Jun Lingxiao blew up the Secret Realm and slew a Great Emperor!”

“Really? A Secret Realm can be blown up? You’re exaggerating.”

“It’s true! If you don’t believe me, go to the Great Emperors Treasury yourself and see what it’s like now!”

“Who did he slay?”

“It seems to be someone from the Qin Family. I don’t know the specifics, as the Qin Family hasn’t officially made a statement yet.”

“What is Jun Lingxiao’s current Realm? Can he slay a Great Emperor?”

“Who knows? I think it’s mostly false. That’s a Great Emperor!”

In a teahouse in a city near the Jun Family’s Imperial Dynasty, many people were discussing this.

“Ah! I know about this!” A person who had been listening with a smile suddenly spoke, and everyone’s gaze turned to him. He then whispered:

“I’m one of the people who came out of the Secret Realm. Everything that happened then is still fresh in my memory.”

“His Highness Jun Lingxiao first snatched our tokens. At the time, I thought big families were all like that, but I didn’t expect him to be collecting protection fees! A few tokens allowed us to survive before the Great Emperor.”

The man spoke slowly, his face full of admiration for Jun Lingxiao, but the people around him weren’t interested in that.

“Go on, get to the point! What Realm is Jun Lingxiao in now?”

“What Realm? I can’t say for sure, but His Highness Jun Lingxiao displayed eight Divine Halos at the time. He seemed to be only in the Divine Realm, but…”

“At one moment, his figure suddenly grew tall.”

“It wasn’t that his body actually became larger, but a… feeling I can’t describe. Anyway, when I looked at him, I instinctively looked up. In the end… he did face the Great Emperor directly and won!”

“No one helped him in between?”

“No.”

“What method did he use?”

“I haven’t heard of it. It seems to be a Dao technique created by the Jun Family, a Dao technique called Divine Sword. That Dao technique directly blew up the Secret Realm, turning a third of it into flat ground!”

“Divine Sword? I have some idea. I heard before that the Divine Son of the Jun Family has an unstoppable Heavenly Sword technique. Is this a derivative of that Heavenly Sword?”

“Wait a minute! Are you focusing on the wrong thing? What did you just say? One move? Just one move?”

The several people were discussing when suddenly, someone eavesdropping nearby also joined in, exclaiming. At this moment, everyone finally noticed this point.

A battle of Great Emperors would certainly be earth-shattering, but only one move?

How strong must that be!

“Yes! His Highness Jun Lingxiao only used one move! Less than twenty breaths in total.” The man raised his head, full of pride, as if it were his own deed.

“Slaying a Great Emperor with one move…”

At this, everyone looked at each other, even less convinced.

But looking at this person… he didn’t seem to be faking it.

“Didn’t you also forget something, Qin Chengan! Jun Lingxiao slew a Great Emperor of the Qin Family, and also Qin Chengan, one of the Qin Family Twelve Kings. So why is the Qin Family still silent? I feel something is fishy about this.”

“Brother, are your sources outdated? The Qin Family has responded.”

“Oh?”

At this, everyone looked towards where the voice came from. In a corner sat a young man and an old man, both wearing bamboo hats. It was the young man who had spoken.

“How did the Qin Family respond?”

Everyone continued to ask, and the young man calmly replied: “The Qin Family New King personally visited to apologize with gifts of apology, and reached a reconciliation with the Jun Family. This matter is now concluded.”

These words immediately drew a burst of laughter.

“Brother, you’re making things up! Qin Mùdào, the Qin Family New King, is Qin Chengan’s cousin. He killed his cousin, and he still went to apologize? Although the Jun Family is powerful, the Qin Family is also one of the Three Heavens. You’re exaggerating too much.”

“Exactly, may I ask who you are, brother? How come I haven’t heard this news?”

The young man heard this but didn’t retort. He just nodded, then turned to look at everyone, removed his bamboo hat, revealing his true face.

“Me?”

“Qin Mùdào. Otherwise, how would I know?”

In an instant, the discussions in the entire teahouse ceased abruptly.

Looking closely, it really was the Qin Family New King! Qin Mùdào!

The same scene also occurred in many other places. This trip to the Great Emperors Treasury seemed like Jun Lingxiao blowing up the Secret Realm, a crime punishable by death.

However… all signs indicated that Qin Chengan had plotted first, and if Jun Lingxiao hadn’t fought back this time, the Divine Son of the Jun Family would have perished… Thus, the Jun Family was in the right, and coupled with the Jun Family’s fierce protection of Jun Lingxiao, they even directly retaliated by storming the Qin Family to demand an explanation! No explanation, then war! They would fight!

Moreover, unearthing the underground palace and revealing the Legacy was actually a merit. With merits and demerits cancelling each other out, the Qin Family ended up in a disadvantageous position.

So the Qin Family was afraid and ultimately chose to settle the matter peacefully.

The Twelve Kings, well, if one was gone, it was gone. Then they would send someone with gifts to apologize, not to provoke these mad dogs.

He would really fight if he had a reason! The destruction of the Fang Family was only a few years ago.

The Qin Family wasn’t afraid of fighting, but they were afraid of fighting mad dogs like the Jun Family.

Leaving aside who was stronger or weaker between the Heavenly Emperors of the two families, let’s just look at the outcome.

If they won, the Ye Family was still watching. If your Family was weakened, they would stab you in the back, and the Ye Family would become dominant. It wouldn’t be worth it.

If they lost, the Ten Chiefs below and countless top forces would be watching. Even if the Jun Family didn’t touch you, you would be devoured by those rats hiding in the dark.

Moreover, the Ye Family and the Jun Family were nominally allied through marriage. As long as it wasn’t the main lifeline of the Qin Family, one of the Twelve Kings, if they yielded, they yielded.

This was why the matter ultimately ended in a reconciliation.

As for Qin Mùdào, his visit this time was purely for Jun Lingxiao. He was originally devoted to Cultivation and had no feelings for Qin Chengan. Instead, Jun Lingxiao genuinely piqued his interest. He truly wanted to see who he was, to be able to slay a Great Emperor. But unfortunately… the gifts he brought were accepted, but he didn’t get to see the person and was turned away.

Of course, it wasn’t just outside that was lively.

The Lower Realm also began to buzz because of this matter.

Su Lianxue had already begun to take over the Qi Family. Naturally, there was no shortage of interference from her siblings, but fortunately, she was quite lucky. After getting involved with the Jun Family of the Upper Thousand Realms, most people sided with her.

She even brought some people from the Guan Xue Holy Land in the Lower Realm to be her subordinates.

It’s worth mentioning an unexpected pleasant surprise along the way: she received help from a remnant soul from the Upper Thousand Realms.

“Senior, do you think this matter is true or false?”

Ending a day’s work, Su Lianxue put down her book, thinking of the rumors people spread during the day, feeling somewhat incredulous.

“A Secret Realm in the Upper Thousand Realms can be blown up? And by a young man?”

“I don’t believe anyone can be that strong.”

And responding to her was a clear voice in her mind:

“What does it matter if you don’t believe it? But no matter how many times I hear it, it still sounds ridiculous… The Upper Thousand Realms… indeed, for you, this term seems correct, but the Upper Realm and the Ten Directions Immortal Court above the Upper Realm are not on the same Rank of existence.”

“Just like my Family, in the Ten Directions Immortal Court, it is one of the Ten Chiefs. With a single word from me, your small Qi Family could Ascend en masse to the Upper Thousand Realms, or directly to the Ten Directions Immortal Court. This is the power of the Ten Chiefs.”

“If I hadn’t heard that you were involved with the Jun Family, I wouldn’t have chosen you.”

“Hurry and find the ultimate treasure to help me reshape my Physical Body. That will be good for both you and me.”

The Senior in her mind spoke eloquently, with an inherent confidence.

Su Lianxue originally had this confidence too, but it had been worn away during these past few years after coming to the Middle Thousand World.

“Senior, last time you said you were ambushed by your younger sister to end up like this?” After a moment of silence, Su Lianxue put down her book and asked directly.

She was in no mood to read now. Although she was usually as calm as still water, for some reason, after hearing those rumors during the day, she felt very uneasy and couldn’t settle down.

At the mention of this, the voice paused for a moment, then slowly spoke with a sense of relief:

“It wasn’t an ambush; I lost in a deathmatch.”

“But it doesn’t matter. One day, I will return to the Ten Directions Immortal Court, reclaim everything that belongs to me, and… my fiancé, who was usurped by my younger sister.”

“Senior, I haven’t heard your fiancé’s name yet?”

“Him?”

Whenever her fiancé was mentioned, the Senior always smiled.

“You are not worthy of knowing his title. You only need to know that he is the most Prodigy existence in the Ten Directions Immortal Court, and the person most compatible with me.”

“Alright, you shouldn’t know so much. But this sword in your room… it looks ordinary, but it’s not. Where did you get it?”

As she spoke, Su Lianxue also looked at the sword hanging on her room wall.

She had stolen it back then and had kept it hanging in her room ever since to remind herself, to remind her that she had once met a Prodigy young man.

Of course, she had tried to pull it out, but she couldn’t. It could only serve as a collectible.

‘It’s quite sad to think that I don’t even have the right to pull out his sword.’

Thinking of this, she spoke with a hint of sadness:

“This sword is naturally not ordinary. It was left by that Senior from the Jun Family.”

“Oh? A Senior from the Jun Family? Tell me about him? Maybe I know him.”

“I don’t know his title, but I heard the people next to him call him: the Divine Son of the Jun Family.”

As soon as these words were spoken, unexpectedly, Su Lianxue found that the Senior was silent. After a long while, she slowly spoke, her tone carrying a hint of excitement and deep helplessness.

“If it weren’t for someone audacious enough to impersonate his title, then this Senior you speak of… is probably my fiancé.”

“Don’t call me Senior anymore. My surname is Qiu, my given name is Qin Xue. I am the former First-in-line Successor of the Qiu Family, one of the Ten Chiefs in the Ten Directions Immortal Court, and the fiancée of Jun Lingxiao, the Divine Son of the Jun Family.”

“And the one who killed me is my younger sister, Qiu Jinyao, the illegitimate daughter of the Qiu Family.”

Whether in the Ten Directions Immortal Court, or the Upper Thousand Realms, or the Middle Thousand World, Jun Lingxiao’s deeds were being spread. The moment he became a Great Emperor, his oppressive aura directly spread throughout the Three Thousand Dao Provinces! No one was spared.

Seeing how chaotic the outside world had become, the Jun Family internally wouldn’t be much better.

The First Dao Child, Chu Yuxi, and the Second Dao Child, Jun Wenhan, looked at the scene before them with some helplessness.

A man with horns on his head randomly grabbed a passing Jun Family Disciple, lifting him up like an eagle catching a chick:

“Hey, kid, this big guy doesn’t even have a place to stay? Where’s your Divine Son?”

“His… His Highness the Divine Son hasn’t woken up yet…”

“Tch, useless. Find me a place to rest, arrange one close to him. I don’t trust any of you Jun Family people!”

If one was like this, what kind of chaotic situation would a group of True Dragons create?

“I didn’t expect him to actually bring the True Dragon Clan back, but what’s even more fatal is…” Jun Wenhan said, then silently looked to the other side.

The True Dragon Clan stood on one side, which was actually fine. They were verbally harsh but still somewhat orderly. But the other side was… Ling Tian, who had somehow gotten a set of instructor camouflage, stood before a neatly arranged group of people in a square formation.

“At ease!”

“Attention!”

“Everyone, welcome to this world, to the Jun Family. This is our base camp. Everyone here is a member of the Jun Family!”

“And I need to tell everyone that the Jun Family is the most powerful Family in this world! When you go out, be arrogant! Of course, don’t be too arrogant. It’s quite troublesome to be killed and resurrected, but don’t miss out on burning, killing, and looting! We play by being overbearing!”

“Isn’t that just a villain?”

Someone in the square formation asked, confused.

Ling Tian immediately pointed at him and affirmed: “Yes! Exactly! A villain! From today onwards! We are going to rebel against this Heaven! So it can no longer obscure our eyes!”

“Big Brother hasn’t woken up yet. Now, everyone, let’s review what to do when we see Big Brother later?”

“First, kneel! Second, bow! Third, kowtow!”

Ling Tian listened to the uniform response and nodded in satisfaction, then shouted to dismiss them.

Immediately, a group of people scattered like ants, then gathered again to discuss.

“I didn’t expect this game planner to personally play the game as an operator. And I feel this Jun Family should be the highest-Ranked Family in the game, right? Isn’t it a bit much to use this as a novice village?”

“Not necessarily. Didn’t you hear him just now? This might not be a novice village; it’s a starting city, somewhat like a base camp.”

“I’ll check the map first. If possible, I’ll set the resurrection point here.”

“Oh! You reminded me, I forgot! Quickly set a resurrection point, otherwise, if we die later, we won’t know how to get back.”

“Do you guys feel this place is a bit too real? Especially these people, their eyes look at me like I’m a pest…”

“Isn’t that what we paid a high price for a simulation pod for? If a full-immersion Cultivation game isn’t real, why would I play it?!”

“Previous games either started you with a wooden stick, or with a dog and all equipment relying on drops. This game lets us be invincible villains from the start, which is quite fresh.”

“That’s the thrill! A thrilling game is a good game! Combat! Thrilling! But are there no main quests? Who are we supposed to kill today? Or what evil are we supposed to do?”

“The plot probably hasn’t started yet. The invincible Divine Son in the promotional video hasn’t woken up. But from my feeling, that Divine Sword really scared me. Oh, it probably just killed me. Dying once at the start of this game is fine.”

“How many slots are there for this closed beta? Two thousand?”

“Yes, the number of people entering the game is still increasing, but why can’t I use my exit game button? Can you guys exit?”

“Can’t exit? It seems like a game bug or it’s stuck. Maybe it’ll be fine later, who cares.”

Over a thousand players, with the number still increasing, plus more than four thousand people from the True Dragon Clan, instantly filled the Jun Family’s training ground. Although their arrival was inexplicable, it was ultimately related to Jun Lingxiao. It was hard to deal with them until he woke up.

It was chaos, complete chaos.

The entire Jun Family was in an uproar.

But the most chaotic of all had to be Jun Siyu.

She was now like a lost soul with nowhere to go. Although she had returned to the Jun Family, her heart was already mostly dead. She could only sit by Jun Lingxiao’s side, her pale small hand tightly clutching his sleeve, as if afraid of being abandoned again.

“Home isn’t home, and Grandpa doesn’t acknowledge me. This place is truly hateful…”

She sat there in a daze, flashes of warm moments with her parents appearing in her mind, so much so that she didn’t respond to anyone calling her.

Like a puppet.
