Chapter 0096: Ye Qingfeng

Qin Yun has grown up and is about to head to the Three Martial Academy.

With his strength, he will definitely stand out and smoothly enter the Xuan-level Martial Academy. Therefore, Qin Yonghe can also set off with peace of mind to explore the mysterious Yunlong Mountains.

"Great-grandfather... uh, don't you have anything else to give me?" Qin Yun scratched his head and grinned.

He thought that after serving as the dean for so many years, Qin Yonghe must be quite wealthy.

"If it were earlier, maybe. But all the resources in my hands have been taken by the Blue Spirit Star Palace! The founder of the Hualing Martial Arts Academy came from the Blue Spirit Star Palace, so I can't say much."

Qin Yun, who had been full of joy, suddenly became very disappointed.

Seeing Qin Yun's expression, Qin Yonghe chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I still have something for you. Here!"

Qin Yun took it and saw fifty purple crystals, equivalent to fifty thousand crystals. He reluctantly put them away, thinking even a little bit was better than nothing.

His reluctant expression made Qin Yonghe laugh and scold him, "You little brat, you're going to be a Runes Master. I'd like to ask you for something."

"As for martial arts, you shouldn't lack them. How about the Inner Energy Technique... do you want the Qin Ling Art?"

"No need!" Qin Yun had the Star Sun Heart Sutra, which was far superior to the Qin Ling Art, allowing him to forge his own path in martial arts.

In terms of martial techniques, he indeed didn't lack them. The Tsunami Technique he just obtained was already top-tier Xuan level.

Qin Yonghe took out a letter and smiled, "Take this letter to Duan Qian at the Runes Hall and let him arrange your entry into the Three Martial Academy."

The Runes Hall and the Xuan-level Martial Academy seemed to have a very close relationship; the Runes Hall often helped the Xuan-level Martial Academy with tasks.

Qin Yun followed Qin Yonghe out of the cave and onto the peak of the giant mountain, gazing at the nine blazing suns in the sky.

Qin Yonghe's face was filled with longing as he said softly, "The most mysterious thing is these Nine Suns. The old dean once said that if one could uncover the secrets of the Nine Suns, they would gain their power."

"Of course, with my current strength, it's beyond reach. Now we are at the edge of Jiuhuang, where spirit energy and resources are scarce, limiting our growth. We must cross the perilous Yunlong Mountains and head to Wuhuang, a place where martial arts flourish."

"Great-grandfather, please be careful in the Yunlong Mountains!" Qin Yun said softly, filled with reluctance.

"I have enough strength; you don't need to worry about me. See you in Wuhuang... until then!" Qin Yonghe laughed heartily, stepping on the Fire Cloud Steps and disappearing into the distance in an instant.

Feeling melancholic, Qin Yun sighed lightly, then gathered himself and went to bid farewell to Dean Zhang, thanking him for his care over the past few days.

Then, he left the Hualing Martial Arts Academy alone and headed to the Imperial City's Runes Hall.

...

"Father, I hope to see you again!" Qin Yun thought as he walked through the forest.

He hoped to see his father at Xiao Yuelan and Qin Zhengfeng's engagement ceremony in a few months!

Qin Yun chose not to take the main road but instead went through the forest for safety.

However, after running through the forest for more than an hour, he suddenly sensed a faint mental force fluctuation!

Ever since his mental force transformed into stars, he had become highly sensitive to mental forces.

"There's someone following me, and they have a strong intent to kill!" Qin Yun leaped up, breaking through the dense foliage and into the air, then stepped on the Fire Cloud Steps.

"This person followed me out of the Hualing Martial Arts Academy. Who could it be?"

His intuition told him that this person was extremely powerful, at least at the eighth level of Martial Body.

"Don't think of running!" A voice shouted from the forest, and suddenly a massive tornado appeared.

The howling tornado rose into the sky, stirring up dust and debris everywhere!

The world suddenly darkened, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring, as if hell had descended upon the earth.

Many towering trees in the forest, some hundreds of meters tall, were uprooted and torn apart along with the sand and soil, creating a terrifying scene.

Qin Yun, who had risen into the air, resisted the terrifying suction but could not escape no matter how many steps he took in the air.

"This person has a Wind-Thunder Martial Soul, how terrifying!"

In the instant he was shocked, he was sucked into the center of the tornado, colliding with shattered wood and being struck by violent lightning, causing him immense pain.

After a moment, he was captured by a middle-aged man in purple robes.

"Boy, capturing you is as easy as pie, ha ha..." The man laughed, grabbing Qin Yun's neck and injecting violent lightning energy into him.

"It's you... the elder brother of that wretched Empress!" Qin Yun recognized the face immediately.

This was a peak ninth-level Martial Body warrior named Ye Qingfeng!

"You only saw me when you were a child, yet you still remember me, ha ha... You dared to oppose our Ye family, courting death."

Ye Qingfeng sneered, increasing his strength and sending more lightning inner energy into Qin Yun's body, causing him to convulse and scream in pain.

Just as Qin Yun felt despair, he suddenly sensed two familiar but faint presences, but he couldn't figure out who they were.

"Who's there?" Ye Qingfeng suddenly turned around and saw a black shadow rushing towards him, a giant tiger covered in black scales, moving as fast as lightning.

As the black giant tiger pounced, its mouth aimed for Ye Qingfeng's neck!

Ye Qingfeng dodged quickly, but his chest was still bitten, tearing off a large piece of flesh, and his shoulders were ripped by the sharp claws!

Despite his high-level strength, he couldn't withstand the attack of this beast!

This fierce beast was truly terrifying. Qin Yun fell to the ground, sitting paralyzed, stunned by the scene.

He remembered what Ding Tianchun had said: truly powerful beasts could even annihilate an empire!

"Lin Steel Tiger... but it's black now!" Qin Yun recognized Lin Steel Tiger's friendly gaze and suddenly stood up, taking out the Inferior-grade Giant Spirit King Hammer. He swung it fiercely at Ye Qingfeng, who was lying on the ground, using the "Falling Star Style."

The reverberating internal force and the fiery inner strength seamlessly blended, rushing fiercely into the King's Hammer, releasing a surge of energy that impaled through Ye Qingfeng's chest.

That burst of inner force tore a bloody hole in Ye Qingfeng's chest and continued to penetrate the earth, creating a deep well.

The half-dead Ye Qingfeng saw Qin Yun gently stroking Lin Steel Tiger's head, and immense resentment and unwillingness surged within him.

He had entered the ninth level of Martial Body in his middle age, indicating exceptional talent. With the arrival of the Blue Spirit Star Palace, he had a high chance of advancing to the Martial Dao realm in the coming years.

But now, he was falling here, and he couldn't help but deeply resent his sister for provoking Qin Yun!

Ye Qingfeng died with his eyes wide open, filled with unwillingness...

"You've saved my life again!" Qin Yun patted the lowered head of Lin Steel Tiger, feeling deeply moved.

He had merely released Lin Steel Tiger before, yet it had saved him twice as a result!

"Have you advanced to the ninth rank beast?"

Qin Yun remembered that Yuan Yanying had followed Lin Steel Tiger back then...

He immediately looked around and spotted a girl dressed in animal skin clothes floating towards him. She looked somewhat unkempt but was very beautiful.

This girl was none other than Yuan Yanying!
