369: Xiao Yun is seeking his own death?

Time can temper a person's character.

At the same time, it can also change a person's character!

Since Xiao Yun returned from cultivating after leaving Wo Niu Mountain, Qin Feng felt that he had changed.

At first, Qin Feng thought it was because he had experienced too much and his character had changed, but now Qin Feng was certain that this child's greed had begun to sprout, and perhaps he would embark on a path of no return in the future.

If he were as hardworking and uncomplaining as before, he might have considered giving him some good Cultivation Techniques.

But now that he had proactively asked for it, the nature of the matter had changed!

"Please, Revered Master, grant my wish!"

Xiao Yun knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic. Unbeknownst to him, his forehead had broken open, and bright red blood flowed down his forehead, covering his face and the ground with bloodstains.

Seeing his stubbornness, Qin Feng sighed and said, "Your Junior Brother is my son, and coupled with his Five Spiritual Roots, cultivating ordinary techniques is less effective for him, so I taught him some of my own techniques. You have a wood Spiritual Root, which is not suitable for the techniques I Cultivate."

"Revered Master, Disciple is willing to add four more types of Spiritual Roots to Cultivate the techniques Revered Master practices. That Qin Mu is merely your adopted son. If Revered Master is willing, Disciple will also be your adopted son and take care of you in your old age!"

He continued to kneel on the ground and kowtow, completely unaware that Qin Feng's expression had turned cold.

When taking in Disciples, the most feared thing is accepting someone who doesn't know their own limitations.

Isn't this clearly using kowtowing to morally bind him?

Moreover, he doesn't just take adopted sons casually!

Qin Feng's expression grew colder and colder. Xiao Yun raised his head, revealing his blood-stained forehead, and pleaded bitterly, "Please, Revered Master, grant my wish!"

"I saved your life back then and let you hide in Wo Niu Mountain to escape the pursuit of the Chang Sheng Sword Sect. Now it seems I was wrong?"

"No, Disciple just wants to follow Revered Master forever!"

Xiao Yun flatly denied it, a hint of fear also appearing in his eyes. He could now see that Qin Feng seemed angry, and his tone softened considerably.

Qin Feng waved his hand and said lightly, "You may go. I will pretend that today's events never happened."

"Revered Master!"

Just as Qin Feng was about to leave, Xiao Yun suddenly stood up, and the expression on his face became incredibly calm.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"Revered Master, do you think Disciple's talent is low, which is why you've always favored the Junior Brother and Junior Sisters?"

"What favoritism are you talking about?"

"Revered Master, Disciple is unfilial. A few days ago, I secretly planted the Rotting Marrow Poisonous Insect that I meticulously refined into the bodies of the Junior Brother and Junior Sisters. If Revered Master is willing to fulfill the wish Disciple just made, Disciple is willing to return the Junior Brother and Junior Sisters completely unharmed to Revered Master. Please, Revered Master, grant my wish!"

Xiao Yun was no longer pleading; he had switched to a threatening attitude.

Feeling the change in Xiao Yun's attitude, Qin Feng was so angered that he laughed, and couldn't help but ask, "Then tell me, what is so special about your Rotting Marrow Poisonous Insect? Are you sure it can threaten me?"

"The Rotting Marrow Poisonous Insect is the most potent poison in this world. Once it enters the body, it will parasitize the host. If one tries to forcefully expel the poison, it will also cause the host to die simultaneously. Unless the person who administered the poison actively detoxifies it, there is absolutely no other possibility."

"There really is no other possibility? Not even if an immortal came?"

"But where are there immortals in this world?"

Xiao Yun's tone was relaxed, but his face became somewhat uneasy, because he understood his Revered Master too well. Others might boast, but almost everything his Revered Master said could be achieved.

Qin Feng smiled slightly, and then, with lightning speed, he directly struck Xiao Yun's abdomen with a burst of Spirit Power, completely sealing his Qi Sea acupoint. Only then did he slowly walk towards the pool on the other side.

Xiao Yun's face was ashen, and he suppressed the severe pain in his abdomen as he followed behind Qin Feng.

A moment later.

The two arrived at the edge of the pool.

Jiang Mengting and Zhao Xuanyuan were no longer there; only Qin Mu and Lü Qingqing were still arguing. Both were old monsters who had lived for countless years, and since they had finally met their match, they naturally had to make up for all the arguments they hadn't had over the years...

"Dad, this pet of yours is going too far, help me teach him a lesson!"

"We signed an equal contract, I'm not his pet! Qin Feng, this son of yours is completely unreasonable, quickly beat him up!"

Seeing Qin Feng arrive, both began to complain. Qin Feng did not speak, but simply used his Divine Sense to inspect Qin Mu's body.

Human bones and flesh are white under Divine Sense, but at this moment, in addition to the basic flesh, meridians, and Spirit Power, there was an extra layer of greyish-white substance in Qin Mu's body. These were likely the Rotting Marrow Poisonous Insects that Xiao Yun had mentioned.

Sensing that Qin Feng's expression was off, Lü Qingqing also stopped arguing with Qin Mu and quietly stood by, observing the changes in his expression. Qin Mu also looked down at himself, feeling a vague sense of unease in his heart.

"Revered Master, did you find it?"

Xiao Yun slowly walked over, a look of triumph gradually appearing on his face. This Rotting Marrow Poisonous Insect was symbiotic with its Revered Master. Once Xiao Yun died, Qin Mu, Jiang Mengting, and Zhao Xuanyuan would also die with him.

It was precisely because of this method that Xiao Yun had the confidence to negotiate with Qin Feng.

Lü Qingqing glanced at Qin Mu's abdomen, and then said to Qin Mu, "You little kid, you still dare to argue with this young lady? Looking at you, you probably won't live for many days. Hurry up and enjoy yourself, then prepare for your funeral."

Although Qin Mu did not feel any abnormality in his body, his expression was incredibly confident. He said, "This Venerable One has seventy-two brilliant stratagems that can kill countless people, and also thirty-six sets of life-preserving techniques to deal with any situation. Since I dared to transform into human form and start from scratch, I naturally do not fear any covert methods!"

As his words fell, Qin Mu had already sat down on the spot and began to Cultivate a certain technique.

On the other side, Xiao Yun heard the conversation between Qin Mu and Lü Qingqing and seemed to realize that these two were not ordinary people. His confidence in his Rotting Marrow Poisonous Insect grew increasingly shaky.

"Can you really detoxify it?"

"Father, don't worry. A small Rotting Marrow Poisonous Insect is merely a great tonic for me!"

Qin Mu said with his eyes closed, and then wisps of black, extremely foul-smelling smoke began to rise from his body, seemingly starting to dissolve the Rotting Marrow Poisonous Insect.

Seeing this scene.

Xiao Yun's face instantly changed drastically, and a hint of madness gradually appeared in his eyes. Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, immediately grabbed Lü Qingqing, and rushed towards the place where Jiang Mengting and Zhao Xuanyuan were cultivating.

Within the underground cave, in a certain dwelling.

Jiang Mengting and Zhao Xuanyuan were in their respective rooms in seclusion cultivating. Qin Feng simply waved gently towards their rooms, and the two who were still cultivating were instantly pulled out.

"Revered Master?"

They opened their eyes, looking at Qin Feng with blank faces, not knowing why he was so urgent.

Qin Feng frowned and looked towards their abdomens.

He saw that they also had the same Rotting Marrow Poisonous Insects as Qin Mu in their bodies, but because their cultivation was higher, the number of Rotting Marrow Poisonous Insects in their bodies was also greater, and they had already started to turn black at this moment. Clearly, Xiao Yun intended to perish together.

"You do it."

Qin Feng looked at Lü Qingqing, his eyes showing a pleading look. The two had signed an equal contract, and neither could forcefully give orders to the other; they could only get along like friends...

"Alright, alright, in order for you to ascend sooner, this young lady will do as you say."
