265: So Horrible——Gong Miaoyin

Feeling both their gazes on him, Qin Feng felt a bit awkward for a moment.

If he were to introduce her, it seemed he didn't even know her name.

After taking a deep breath, Qin Feng brazenly asked the maiden, "May I ask how I should address Senior?"

"Still calling me Senior?"

"My dear?"

Qin Feng's mind heated up, and he blurted it out directly. As a Transmigrator, while not exactly glib, such terms in the Cultivation World were perhaps a bit too ahead of their time.

The maiden paused, her expression slightly unnatural. She feigned anger, glaring at Qin Feng, then spoke her name.

Gong Miaoyin.

As expected of the woman who could crush his Immortal Execution Sword Formation with a single hand, even her name was so pleasant to hear.

Qin Feng's face was full of admiration, but Jiang Mengting, standing opposite him, suddenly looked a bit awkward.

Lingnan was not far from here, and she occasionally followed her Family Elders to Xian Lake City to purchase necessary Family supplies, so she naturally knew all about the major forces in Xian Lake City.

The name Gong Miaoyin in Xian Lake City wasn't just well-known; it was a name that made people's expressions change!

Because she was the Grand Elder of the Chasing Immortal Sect!

She had reached the Void Refinement Stage cultivation in only eighty years of Cultivation, making her the most promising person of this generation to achieve the Dao and Ascension!

Although Qin Feng didn't speak, he could guess the significance of the name Gong Miaoyin from Jiang Mengting's expression.

Suddenly, the atmosphere on the deck became awkward.

Qin Feng and his disciple remained silent, only Gong Miaoyin watched them with a smile, seemingly enjoying their awkward expressions.

After a moment of hesitation.

Qin Feng held out five fingers to Jiang Mengting, representing the five Cultivation Realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Soul Transformation, but she shook her head, holding out only one finger.

The sixth Realm... it seemed to be the Void Realm?

Qin Feng froze for a moment, then turned to look at the vast, rippling surface of Xian Lake and said nothing more.

If a powerhouse of this Realm wanted him as a Dao Companion, wouldn't she drain him dry?

Poor him, so young, yet he hadn't enjoyed much before being treated as a Cauldron.

Qin Feng was very flustered now, yet also very helpless.

In this situation, even calling over his deceased Revered Master, Ge Qingyun, wouldn't change anything; perhaps both Revered Master and disciple would fall here.

Damn Qingyu Sect!

If it weren't for helping them subdue some dog-shit Lion King Fish Monster, how would he have met this perverted old woman!

His heart was bitter!

As he looked at the water, a hint of sorrow also appeared in the depths of Qin Feng's eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Just then, a delicate, fair hand patted Qin Feng's shoulder.

"I'm lamenting my ill-fated first half of life."

"Don't worry, with this maiden, your latter half of life will definitely be very exciting. After all... you're the only one in decades who dared to speak rudely to me. I'll definitely treat you well."

Gong Miaoyin's eyes showed a hint of shyness, but Qin Feng felt his scalp tingle, and he blurted out, "Do Cauldrons also have a good ending?"

Pfft!

Gong Miaoyin covered her mouth and chuckled softly. She no longer intended to tease Qin Feng. With a step in the air, her entire being instantly soared into the Void Realm, flying rapidly above Xian Lake. In just a blink of an eye, she reached above Xian Lake City and then disappeared...

This scene left Qin Feng dumbfounded, and Jiang Mengting's small face was flushed with excitement.

To be able to fly above Xian Lake, what was her true strength?

Qin Feng stared at Jiang Mengting, feeling depressed, and asked, "Disciple, do you think... she has any ill intentions towards us?"

..."Revered Master's wife is a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator. Even if she's not here, she can hear what we're talking about."

"..."

A Void Refinement Stage Cultivator was already infinitely close to an Immortal, only needing to Breakthrough two more Realms, Body Integration and Mahayana, to prepare for Undergoing Tribulation and Ascension. In this world, they were already relatively invincible, and naturally, an indescribable existence!

When they docked later, he would tell He Yuan to pack up and take everyone from the Qingyu Sect to slip away!

Qin Feng had no lingering attachment; he wasn't interested in the various fame and fortune of the Chasing Immortal Sect. He only wanted to live discreetly and Cultivate secretly. To escape Gong Miaoyin, Qin Feng had even thought of an unbeatable argument.

If you truly love me, you shouldn't restrict my freedom!

Hmm... yes! That's what I'll say!

...

After half an incense stick's time.

The iron-clad ship approached the Qingyu Dock in Xian Lake City. Only then did He Yuan and the others dare to emerge from the cockpit.

Seeing Qin Feng and his disciple standing on the deck, He Yuan's face immediately showed a puzzled expression. He hesitated to speak but didn't dare to ask much, simply lowering his head and arranging for everyone to disembark.

Upon entering Xian Lake City, this giant island, the salty, humid smell immediately assailed their nostrils. Under the sun, it was unusually hot and unbearable. Some Cultivators with lower cultivation were working as porters on the dock, sweating profusely, adding a few more whiffs of sweat to the air.

Jiang Mengting silently followed behind Qin Feng, curiously observing the dock porters. There was no look of disdain on her face, only a pure observation of their labor, as if she were studying them.

"Wang... Senior Wang, are you going to the Chasing Immortal Sect now?"

After stepping onto the dock, He Yuan looked at Qin Feng with a nervous expression, his body unconsciously hunched over a lot.

"You can just call me Brother Wang."

Qin Feng said with a smile, then his expression became serious, and he said,

"You go back to the Qingyu Sect immediately, bring a few trustworthy people, and we'll leave Xian Lake City right away. If we don't go now, I'm afraid we'll run into trouble."

Trouble?

He Yuan was completely bewildered, wondering what trouble Qin Feng could have now that he had embraced the Chasing Immortal Sect as a powerful backing.

After a moment of hesitation, He Yuan said with a serious expression, "Fellow Daoist Wang, you saved my life earlier. Now, this old man and the entire Qingyu Sect are yours. We will do whatever you say.

However, before leaving, this old man still has one thing to do. It shouldn't take long!"

"Go."

Qin Feng nodded indifferently, allowing He Yuan to leave, and agreed with him on a maximum of one incense stick's time. If it exceeded that time, he would leave immediately.

While He Yuan went to deal with his affairs, Qin Feng led Jiang Mengting to stroll around the market near the dock.

At this point, encountering a Void Refinement Stage powerhouse, running away was useless. The reason he was doing this was entirely to test her.

If she truly wanted to act, she would definitely not waste a single moment with him. After all, from her Realm of cultivation, looking at him was like him looking at a Foundation Establishment Stage little chick.

On the other side.

He Yuan did not return to the Qingyu Sect but came to a secluded street in Xian Lake City.

There was very little foot traffic on this street. There were no shops or stalls on either side of the road, only numerous inns and taverns. People came and went in groups, each reeking of alcohol.

Besides them, there were also some women standing in the alley, dressed ordinarily but with outstanding looks.

He Yuan's face darkened, and he ducked into one of the alleys. The five Qingyu Sect powerhouses who were with him earlier followed with awkward expressions.

The group of six quickly reached the end of the alley, outside a low, shabby courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard.

An old man at Qi Refining Stage Level Six lay in a pool of blood, on his last breath.

Inside the thatched hut, there were a woman's loud cries for help and He Yulong's lewd threatening voice:

"Bitch! This Young Master is the Young Sect Leader of the Qingyu Sect! You won't lose out by submitting to me!"
