Chapter 0443: The Secret of the Xiao Family

After a brief silence, the square exploded with curses.

Those who had bet all their purple crystal coins were especially vocal in cursing Qin Yun.

Many young disciples and practitioners from the Spirit Martial and Xuan Martial realms had bet millions, now completely wiped out.

Shui Tianzi was only slightly disappointed, still smiling: "It's okay to miss once or twice! I've already made enough!"

Xiao Yuemei remained silent, glancing at Mu Fengxiao, suspecting a secret deal between him and Qin Yun.

Zi Qingcheng and Hong Mengshu stayed quiet, having won big with Qin Yun, they had no complaints.

As for the others, they were all complaining.

Even Martial Kings, cheated out of two billion, felt uneasy.

Hong Yingwu King simply smiled, his daughter having won big.

"That idiot fool, I could kill him!"

"Winning twice, then losing, is he messing with us?"

"He's definitely cheating us! Damn it, he's just refilling Qiwen Hall's coffers for future gains!"

"What a jerk!"

The young sect members' crystal coin cards were nearly empty!

They were the ones cursing Qin Yun the loudest!

Qin Yun was unfazed, his identity merely the fool's cousin.

Most importantly, he'd earned a fortune in purple crystal coins, enough for a long time.

"Let's head out late tonight, okay?" said a Martial King from a bloodline family.

They knew the Dragon Blood family had left for the Immortal Tomb Wilderness and couldn't afford to lag.

"Tonight, then! Meet outside the north gate!"

Many Martial Kings, despite their foul mood, agreed to leave for the Immortal Tomb Wilderness tonight.

"Let's go!" Zi Qingcheng tugged at Qin Yun, with Shui Tianzi shielding him, wary of potential attacks.

"Wait, brother! As a great benefactor of Qiwen Hall, let me thank you with a drink!" Mu Fengxiao called out as Qin Yun was about to leave.

Shui Tianzi quickly interjected, "A Shuai, don't go!"

Qin Yun grinned naively, "Why refuse an invitation to eat and drink?"

With that, he approached Mu Fengxiao, declaring, "I want the best!"

"Brother, you're straightforward indeed, let's go!" Mu Fengxiao laughed, patting Qin Yun's shoulder, "Brother, got X-ray vision? Can you see through clothes?"

Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi felt uneasy at Mu Fengxiao's words.

"Ladies, head back! I'll ensure this young man returns safely," Mu Fengxiao said, then turned to Xiao Yuemei, "Miss Long Yuemei, right? Being from the Dragon Blood family, join us. I'd like to ask about your family, would you?"

"Fine," Xiao Yuemei said coldly, nodding her head.

Then, Mu Fengxiao took Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei with him.

Hong Mengshu also guessed that Qin Yun must've made a private deal with Mu Fengxiao earlier, which was why he threw the match.

She was secretly thrilled because Qin Yun must have earned a lot through their cooperation.

She was really ticked off by the arrogance of those bloodline families and other big shots. If they'd come out on top, she would have felt uncomfortable too.

...

Mu Fengxiao brought Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei to a private meeting room in the Runes Hall.

"Cut the act and sit down!" Mu Fengxiao said with a smile.

After sitting down, Xiao Yuemei crossed her legs, chuckling, "You really do have some underhanded business, don't you?"

"Nothing much, we're just looking out for our own interests," Mu Fengxiao laughed heartily.

Qin Yun gave Xiao Yuemei's cheek a pinch, "You little girl, playing the part of a Dragon Blood family disciple was quite convincing. I nearly bought it!"

Mu Fengxiao said, "Qin Yun, she was telling the truth! The Xiao family from the borderlands has always been concealing the Dragon Blood legacy. The Dragon Blood in Yuemei's body should have awakened by now."

Qin Yun stared at Xiao Yuemei, speechless.

Xiao Yuemei stuck her tongue out, "You big oaf, you know so much? Are you thinking of eating me?"

Mu Fengxiao burst out laughing, "If I really wanted to eat you, you'd be nothing but bones by now!"

Qin Yun remembered Xiao Xuanqin's earlier suspicions about the Xiao family.

Now it turned out that her suspicions were correct; their Xiao family indeed had a special bloodline inheritance.

"You big oaf, how much are you cutting my brother in for?" Xiao Yuemei asked.

"Seven billion purple crystal coins!" Mu Fengxiao took out a purple crystal card and walked towards Qin Yun, smiling, "We've had a great partnership!"

Qin Yun smiled, "Honestly, I didn't want to hand those guys the win at all!"

Qin Yun's purple crystal card now had a total of eight billion!

Mu Fengxiao exclaimed in amazement, "You're something else, actually mastering the power of foresight!"

Qin Yun just smiled and didn't say much. How he won was something he couldn't elaborate on, lest the Runes Hall become wary of him.

Xiao Yuemei snorted, "You big oaf, why did your Runes Hall stop backing my brother? Even his title as a Runes Master was revoked! That's just not right!"

Mu Fengxiao sighed, "The bloodline families provided the Runes Hall's higher-ups with pure inheritance blood. And the Totem Pavilion offered some totem runes. That's why the Runes Hall decided to stop protecting Qin Yun!"

"Also, Qin Yun didn't enter that ancient garden but went to another one instead, which caused a shortage of people and led to the higher-ups being criticized!"

Qin Yun asked, "Grand Master, what exactly is inside that ancient garden?"

Mu Fengxiao said, "I can only tell you that the ancient garden only allows people with three life traces or less to enter. Inside, there are very precious items. Once you enter, someone will receive you and arrange for you to search for treasures inside!"

Qin Yun was certain that the treasure was the Yang Spirit!

Mu Fengxiao asked, "Qin Yun, are you planning to enter the Immortal Tomb Wilderness?"

Qin Yun nodded and said, "Yes! I want to confirm the relationship between the Immortal Tomb Wilderness and the Burial Immortal Diagram!"

"There is a significant relationship! I’ll need to go in to find out!" Mu Fengxiao said, "The Burial Immortal Diagram on Xiao Yuelan is the most crucial. It is said that once that diagram is deciphered, one can easily enter the most powerful immortal tomb!"

"Fatso, don’t you dare plot against my sister!" Xiao Yuemei quickly warned.

"Don’t worry! I’m not as stuck in my ways as those old-timers in the Totem Pavilion!" Mu Fengxiao said, "I have great admiration for you young people!"

Xiao Yuemei said, "I originally planned to enter the Immortal Tomb Wilderness, but I think there’s probably nothing good inside, so I’m too lazy to go!"

"You’ve already tricked those guys by saying there’s a Dragon Bloodline Clan inside!" Qin Yun laughed.

"Who told them to be so stupid!" Xiao Yuemei chuckled, "Those fools might all end up dead in there! Bro, you shouldn’t go either; it’s way too dangerous!"

Qin Yun shook his head, "No, I want to go in and take a look!"

"Then be careful!" Xiao Yuemei stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "I’m off now, gonna wander around!"

"Yuemei, do you need any Purple Crystal Coins?" Qin Yun asked.

"No, I’ve still got a few billion left, more than enough!" Xiao Yuemei smiled, opened the door, and left.

Qin Yun wasn’t worried about the elusive Xiao Yuemei at all; she had always been doing well and had awakened a mysterious and powerful dragon bloodline.

"Qin Yun, do you have the Heavenly Lion Bloodline?" Mu Fengxiao asked.

Qin Yun nodded. Zhuochuan already knew he had the Heavenly Lion Bloodline.

"You’d better keep it under wraps, or else... the bloodline clans from the Three Wastelands will team up with the Totem Pavilion to hunt you down!"

"At that time, even the Totem Pavilion might take action. The grand formation of your Nine Profound Mystic Sect might not be able to withstand it!" Mu Fengxiao’s expression suddenly turned extremely serious.

Qin Yun nodded, "I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Grand Master!"

"No problem!" Mu Fengxiao shook his head.

He was really counting on Qin Yun. While others might be in the dark, he knew for a fact that Hong Mengshu’s Mystical Moon Blade had been fixed.

Although he didn’t ask, he was certain that Qin Yun had repaired the Mystical Moon Blade, which was an incredibly extraordinary skill.

"Qin Yun, there was once a group of people who participated in the construction of many immortal tombs, and their descendants have been thriving in the borderlands. So, the borderlands have many promising talents! Their natural talents are top-notch; it’s just the lack of resources that’s holding them back!"

Mu Fengxiao’s words also surprised Qin Yun.

"It seems the borderlands hide many secrets!" He thought of the Tianxiao Emperor’s Mausoleum, which was a very mysterious existence.

Mu Fengxiao said, "Alright, let’s get you back to the inn now! Although the Moon Mystic Valley is full of women, it’s also very mysterious... Even though it’s connected to several king-level sects, it’s managed to stay independent and even profit from them!"

Qin Yun nodded, then followed Mu Fengxiao out of the Totem Pavilion and into a car heading towards the luxurious inn.

After returning, Qin Yun rested in his room.

Using the Piercing Mystic Art and the Spirit Eye had really drained him. Since he was departing tonight, he needed to rest well.

At night, Qin Yun, Zi Qingcheng, and Shui Tianzi, the three sisters, sat in a purple-golden carriage, which belonged to Zi Qingcheng. Qin Yun had ridden in it before.

Grandma Du and a few elders were in a different carriage.

Most of the group rode in heavily armored carriages, making their way to the Yunlong Mountain Range.

Some people were flying in the air, primarily to protect the main force from ambush.

Little Snack looked at Qin Yun, her charming face full of curiosity, and asked, "A Shuai, can you really predict the future?"

Qin Yun laughed, "No, I’m just winging it!"

Little Snack pouted and whispered, "You’re fibbing, I’m not buying it!"

Qin Yun just smiled and didn’t say much more.

At that moment, the ground suddenly shook, and a dragon’s roar was heard from outside!

"That dragon’s back!" Zi Qingcheng exclaimed.
