Chapter 0673 Bingxing’s Doubt

**Chapter 0673: Bingxing’s Confusion**

On his way back, Qin Yun learned that a fierce battle had taken place in the skies above Demon-Martial Island, involving Bao Changshou and Chu Binyu.

He was utterly shocked!

After all, people like Granny Ma and Bao Changshou, who rarely got involved in conflicts, had actually killed numerous Martial Kings and Emperors—especially those from the Herbal Immortal Valley, Canghuo Immortal Peak, and several powerful clans.

Jian Ruyan asked, “Qin Yun, exactly how did you survive?”

“My wife saved me,” Qin Yun replied.

They were sitting inside a large airship.

Jian Ruyan knew that Qin Yun’s wife was extremely powerful, so she didn’t press further.

“Qin Yun, how many Star Dao Elixirs did you obtain?” Jian Ruyan asked.

“A fair number!” Qin Yun chuckled. “How about you?”

“We also collected quite a lot! If you hadn’t gotten any, I could have given you some. You saved me, and I dislike owing debts!” Jian Ruyan said.

“So the favor I did for you is only worth a few Star Dao Elixirs?” Qin Yun laughed loudly.

“You—!” Jian Ruyan didn’t know how to respond.

At that moment, Granny Ma entered their small cabin and asked, “Qin Yun, is that Demon Star Overlord still on Demon-Martial Island?”

“Most likely!” Qin Yun shrugged.

The Demon Star Overlord was extremely important, and he didn’t want others to know he had control over it.

“The people from the Arcane Rune Pavilion are trying to capture the Demon Star Overlord. If they succeed and turn it into a battle puppet, their strength will increase dramatically!” Granny Ma said with genuine concern.

“Let them try!” Qin Yun sighed. “Those guys wanted to capture me anyway. They’ll come after me even harder in the future.”

“Qin Yun, you must be cautious from now on. Now you’re also targeted by the Arcane Rune Pavilion!” Granny Ma warned.

“What can I do? It’s not my fault I’m so valuable,” Qin Yun said with a bitter smile.

“Qin Yun, are you really that close with Yang Shiyue?” Jian Ruyan asked curiously. “She’s truly extraordinary—even without reaching the Spirit Martial Stage, she managed to seize the Star Monarch Rune Spirit in the Shadowmoon Mountains. Despite being hunted by so many powerful experts for such a long time, she remained completely unharmed!”

“Sister Yang… she’s been very kind to me.” Qin Yun didn’t elaborate further, though he was deeply concerned about her.

He planned to head to the Shadowmoon Mountains to find Yang Shiyue as soon as he obtained the Divine Arts following the Martial King Championship.

With the Demon Star Overlord puppet under his control, his combat power was now comparable to that of a Martial King.

The Demon Star Overlord’s body was incredibly sturdy—even against stronger Martial Kings, it could hold its ground for a while.

“You’re all tired. Rest well! We’ll talk more when we return to the palace,” Granny Ma said.

The large ship had many cabins, and Qin Yun and the others each went to rest in their own comfortable rooms.

Inside his room, Qin Yun wasn’t at all tired—he was excited, reliving the thrill of controlling the Demon Star Overlord and defeating enemies.

“Yuner, we hit the jackpot this time!” Qin Yun laughed. “Those scoundrels from the Arcane Rune Pavilion originally planned to use the demon star to evolve the demon fiends, then have their Demon Tamers control them to capture me. But in the end… well!”

Ling Yuner said, “They underestimated us. They never expected the summoned demon star to contain an Overlord! That Overlord took command of all the Star Demons, so their Demon Tamers couldn’t directly control the Giant Star Demons!”

What made Qin Yun happiest was that he had spent some time inside with Xiao Yuelan.

"Yun'er, with the Star Dao Pills I obtained and the Yuanling Mystic Pills I have in reserve, is it enough for me to reach the mid-stage of the Lingwu Realm?" Qin Yun was eager to break through so he could see what was inside the third bead of the Nine Sun Pendant.

"I'm not sure exactly... Let's ask Bingxing when we get back!" Ling Yuner said. "Whatever you do, don't absorb the energy from that star core!"

Qin Yun was also reluctant to absorb the star core’s energy because it was the power core of the Demon Star Overlord. If he used it up, replenishing it later would be difficult.

The Demon Star Overlord was incredibly powerful and could serve as an ace up his sleeve in emergencies.

Of course, he didn’t dare use it recklessly—otherwise, he’d surely be hunted down by those hypocritical 'righteous' sects.

Even if he did use it, he wouldn’t let anyone know it was his.

After a day, Qin Yun returned to the Immortal Armament Palace.

As soon as he arrived, he hurried straight to the Immortal Armament Hall.

Bingxing sat beside the Immortal Pool, her back to the door. When she sensed the door open, her body gave a slight shudder.

During the days Qin Yun had been gone, she'd grown used to his absence.

In the past, Qin Yun would always drop by from time to time.

Though he often chattered away in the Immortal Armament Hall, it kept Bingxing from feeling too lonely.

"Did the Martial King Tournament end so quickly?" Bingxing asked.

"A lot of major events happened—I almost died!" Qin Yun rushed to Bingxing’s side and launched into a breathless retelling of everything that had happened on Demon Martial Island.

Bingxing listened, secretly stunned.

"You said you subdued that Demon Star Overlord? Show it to me!" Bingxing demanded.

He didn’t hide the matter of the Demon Star Overlord from her and immediately called it forth for her to see.

Bingxing knew about his past life and got along with him just fine, so Qin Yun trusted her to some extent—though he still omitted many details.

"Demon Star Overlord... This thing dares to call itself an overlord? Who does this guy think he is?" Bingxing scoffed as she looked at the towering, three-headed, six-armed figure.

"If this guy could be killed by me, then he’s definitely no overlord!" Though Qin Yun said this, his pulse still raced when looking at the Demon Star Overlord.

Bingxing added, "What about the star core? Show me that too!"

"Sister Bingxing... That’s very precious to me. Don’t mess with it—I need to take the Demon Star Overlord to the Darkmoon Mountains to save Sister Yang!" Qin Yun said worriedly. "Sister Yang is in great danger there, being hunted by many Emperor Wu and Martial Kings!"

"Don’t worry. She’s the Young Palace Master of Guanghan Palace. She’ll outlive you, no problem." Bingxing extended her hand, signaling Qin Yun to hand over the star core.

Reluctantly, Qin Yun took out the star core.

Bingxing took it and gave a soft "hmph." Suddenly, a white light erupted from the star core.

"Sister Bingxing, you—don’t do anything reckless!" Qin Yun paled in shock, hopping from foot to foot.

Seeing him flustered and jumping around, Bingxing sneered, "Here’s a taste of this!"

Qin Yun immediately sensed the Demon Star Overlord behind him suddenly strike down with a palm, releasing a blast of icy power.

Swoosh! Crack! Boom!

When that palm pressed down, a blast of frigid wind exploded, enveloping Qin Yun’s body.

Qin Yun possessed the Sky Lion bloodline and had cultivated the Sky Lion Mystic Body, which originally made him immune to both ice and fire.

But now, he felt his body stiffening.

Bingxing saw that the effect was sufficient and quickly controlled the Demon Star Overlord to withdraw its palm.

She walked over, placed her hand on the back of Qin Yun’s neck, and extracted the freezing energy within his body.

After recovering, Qin Yun panted heavily, gaping at Bingxing: “Sister Bingxing, is this the power of the Demon Star Overlord? Why didn’t I notice such terrifying icy energy from him before?”

“That icy energy is mine!” Bingxing said.

“Yours? Your power can be transferred to the Demon Star Overlord through the Star Core?” Qin Yun found it hard to believe.

“Take it back!” Bingxing handed the Star Core back to Qin Yun.

When Qin Yun took it, he felt a piercing cold emanating from the Star Core.

“In the future, you can also release that kind of icy energy through the Star Core, though it won’t be as strong as when I use it!” Bingxing said. “Also, if you find that Sister Yang, bring her here to see me!”

Qin Yun was overjoyed, never expecting Bingxing could enhance and improve the Demon Star Overlord.

“Got it!” Qin Yun nodded quickly. Then he asked, “Sister Bingxing, how did you do it? Can you teach me? I want the Demon Star Overlord to access greater power.”

“When you're ready, I’ll teach you!” Bingxing replied.

“Alright!”

Qin Yun stored the Demon Star Overlord and the Star Core, then produced a sizable quantity of Star Dao Pills.

He asked, “Sister Bingxing, I want to achieve lunar spiritualization. With my hundred-plus Yuanling Mystic Pills, is it enough?”

“Not enough!” Bingxing cast a frosty glance at the pile of Star Dao Pills.

Qin Yun had several thousand Star Dao Pills, equivalent to nearly two hundred Yuanling Mystic Pills.

“Sigh!” Qin Yun emitted a frustrated sigh. “This still isn’t enough!”

“Achieving lunar spiritualization is extremely perilous! Most importantly, you must learn to resist Yin-Evil energy! Once your spirit merges with the moon, you’ll become highly sensitive to Yin-Evil forces, which will infiltrate along with the world’s spiritual energy!”

“Before you master the ability to resist Yin-Evil, I forbid you from advancing to the mid-stage of the Spirit Martial Realm. If you do master it, come find me! I can help you!” Bingxing said. “Of course, I can’t guarantee success.”

Qin Yun couldn’t reveal the Nine Sun treasure, but he believed that with it, he could surely resist Yin-Evil.

Suddenly, he remembered the Righteous Qi Martial Soul he had fused with earlier!

He quickly manifested a luminous white energy orb in his palm and asked, “Sister Bingxing, look at this energy. Can it resist Yin-Evil?”

“This is… the power of Righteous Qi!”

Bingxing’s almond eyes flew open in astonishment as she stared at Qin Yun.

“This… this can’t be!” Bingxing shook her head repeatedly, unable to accept it. “Someone like you could never harness such pure energy!”

she scoffed.

“Why not? I’m not a bad person!” Qin Yun protested, cheeks puffing in indignation. “You don’t understand. Even those with the Righteous Qi Martial Soul can only use its Dao power to repel evil entities—they can’t manifest it physically like this. This requires… this requires a person to have attained profound moral cultivation!”

"And you... your previous life was an utterly depraved villain. This would also affect your future lives, and it would require accumulating enough good karma in those lives to offset the evils committed in your past!"

"Even if you're a good person in this lifetime, you're only in your twenties. Your previous life's sins stretched across tens of thousands of years—it's not something that can be redeemed in just twenty-odd years of goodness!"

The reason Bingxing couldn't accept this was precisely because she refused to believe that Qin Yun's past life wasn't a great evildoer.

Because she hated Qin Yun's past incarnation with every fiber of her being!

Qin Yun suddenly recalled that Xiao Yuelan had once told him that his past life was actually a very good person.

Hearing Bingxing's words now, it only strengthened his belief in that truth.
