Chapter 0591 Time for Revenge

Chapter 0591: Time to Settle Scores

The massive iceberg was torn apart by the violent explosion, sending massive ice chunks crashing down.

Beneath the iceberg, flames surged from the cracks, rapidly melting the ice.

The Mystic Runes' unleashed flames were horrifying, their explosive force capable of obliterating an entire iceberg.

The cavern inside the iceberg lay beneath.

The intense explosions and raging flames within had reduced it to rubble.

Those inside were either incinerated instantly or crushed beneath the collapsing ice.

KABOOM!

Dozens more of Qin Yun’s planted Mystic Runes detonated in rapid succession, turning the entire iceberg into a volcano!

Long Qiaofeng watched from a distance, speechless with shock.

Even Qin Yun himself was amazed by the sheer power of the Mystic Runes, which far exceeded his expectations.

"Fusing star and mystic patterns creates such devastation!" Qin Yun exclaimed in delight.

"Of course! With your Flamefury Rune Soul, the precision of your fire-attribute engravings is exceptional, greatly amplifying their power. And your star patterns are anything but ordinary!" Ling Yuner remarked.

The StarMoon Sigils Qin Yun had obtained were the Sigil Sect’s prized treasures—taboo sigils from ancient times.

The Hua Tian Corps was utterly wiped out!

Qin Yun's score skyrocketed by over nine hundred, now exceeding one thousand five hundred.

...

Hua Xiyue was scouring the area for Qin Yun outside the safe city.

Unable to find him, he was forced to retreat.

Just as he returned, he saw his Hua Tian Corps members clustered in the safe city.

The safe city was already crowded with disciples, and after being annihilated, the Hua Tian Corps members respawned there.

Their mass respawn spelled only one thing: annihilation.

"You… why are all of you here?" Hua Xiyue already knew the answer but still struggled to believe it.

"We were wiped out!" A white-robed middle-aged man said furiously—he was the strategist, Chu Bozhong.

"Was it the Black-Clad Corps?"

Hua Xiyue immediately thought of this notorious faction, as they were the only ones in the Immortal Soldier Illusory Realm with such capability.

"It was Qin Yun! Look at his current score—one thousand five hundred!" Chu Bozhong snarled.

At his words, the surrounding disciples shut their eyes to consult the Martial Arts Ranking.

Qin Yun's score had indeed reached one thousand five hundred, ranking him 70th.

The safe city erupted into chaos!

The Huatian Battalion was hidden very stealthily and packed serious firepower, yet Qin Yun alone managed to take them down.

"How did he manage to take you all down? That's simply impossible! Even I couldn't have wiped out your whole group in one go!"

Hua Xiyue clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead as anger coursed through him, oozing murderous vibes with every fiber of his being.

"He used Mystic Runes! I suspect he snuck into our base and stuck them all over the place…" Chu Bozhong said furiously. "That punk is a Runes Master, and now that he's reached the Spirit Martial Realm, he can craft Mystic Runes!"

Upon hearing this, the others around them got the creeps.

Explosive Mystic Runes cost a few hundred points apiece.

Because Qin Yun knew how to craft them, he churned out many, allowing him to single-handedly take down an entire battalion.

"Qin Yun, you no-good punk, how dare you mess with me!" Hua Xiyue roared, his voice laced with venom. "Qin Yun, you'll regret ever crossing me!"

Having taken down Hua Xiyue's battalion, Qin Yun was stoked and left the frozen turf with Long Qiaofeng.

"Want me to take you to Ji Lang?" Long Qiaofeng asked.

"Ji Lang? How many points does his battalion have?" Qin Yun wanted to boost his own score quickly.

"About five or six hundred, but wiping out the entire battalion won't be so easy!" Long Qiaofeng said. "After the Huatian Battalion went down, other battalions will definitely be on guard. They won't stay together all the time!"

"Let's head back to the safe city first!" Qin Yun said. "Hua Xiyue might be there. I want to teach him a lesson!"

"Your call!" Long Qiaofeng also hoped Qin Yun would take down Ji Lang's battalion—she couldn’t stand those idiots.

...

The safe city was packed.

Everyone gathered there was talking about Qin Yun taking down the Huatian Battalion.

At that moment, members of the Huatian Battalion were causing a ruckus outside the building where talismans were sold.

They protested that Qin Yun had thrown off the balance by crafting talismans without spending points.

For disciples who didn’t know how to craft talismans, this was a total nightmare.

And among them, Qin Yun was the only one capable of doing it!

Most of Hua Xiyue's battalion were disciples from the Dharma Protector Hall, and they were raising hell in the real world as well.

Hua Xiyue, in particular, went straight to his Master and then sought out Granny Ma.

In one of the Dharma Protector Hall's chambers, several elders in black robes stood present.

"Granny Ma, this is what happened… You must restrict Qin Yun, or else the Immortal Soldier Illusory Realm will be totally wrecked by him!" Hua Xiyue said indignantly.

"In the Immortal Soldier Illusory Realm, talismanic weapons have always existed. Those with the ability can make them themselves. After all, it’s also a place to sharpen their rune game, which is why no restrictions were imposed."

Granny Ma said, "Our Dharma Protector Hall just keeps an eye on things—we don’t stop others from making weapons or talismans!"

Hua Xiyue frowned. "Then… can we at least bar Qin Yun from entering the Immortal Soldier Illusory Realm?"

"As long as they are outer-circle disciples of our Immortal Soldier City, they have the right to enter the Illusory Realm. If you want to restrict Qin Yun, you’ll have to take it to the Sect Leader!" Granny Ma said. "Good luck convincing him!"

Hua Xiyue's Master, an elder Martial King, jumped in, "Granny Ma, the situation is clear. As long as Qin Yun is inside, all our disciples will just be free points for him!"

Hua Xiyue said, "Granny Ma, if Qin Yun isn't restricted, then we'll mobilize other disciples to stay out of the Immortal Soldier Illusory Realm, denying Qin Yun any chance to earn points!"

"You're making this very hard for me!" Granny Ma sighed. "If there aren't enough disciples inside, we'll organize events to ensure they can still earn sufficient points!"

"Granny Ma, my Hua Tian Corps is made up entirely of Dharma Protector Hall disciples. Shouldn't you be supporting us instead of that troublemaker Qin Yun?" Hua Xiyue said angrily.

Granny Ma’s expression darkened. "Watch your tone, youngster! Qin Yun is a troublemaker? Do you even know what he's actually achieved?"

"Moreover, as one of the five chief protectors of the Dharma Protector Hall, if I were to favor our own disciples, what would others say of me? Fine, from today onward, you're out!"

Hua Xiyue’s Master got worried and immediately gave him a push, scolding, "Hurry up and apologize to Granny Ma!"

Seeing that Granny Ma intended to expel him, Hua Xiyue got worried and quickly bowed in apology.

The Dharma Protector Hall offered excellent benefits and was difficult to join.

If Hua Xiyue were expelled, not only would he lose those privileges, but he would also be ridiculed.

"If you want to deal with Qin Yun, you should unite and use whatever means necessary to take him down, torment him, and force him out of the Immortal Soldier Illusory Realm with negative scores..." Granny Ma sneered. "That’s what true strength looks like! But you? What a joke! All you know is dragging your Master to complain to me!"

"Qin Yun suffered brutal oppression from clan factions, ending up with negative scores, yet he never came to me or complained to anyone. Instead, he focused on cultivation, reached the Spirit Martial Realm, and took on entire corps by himself!"

Hua Xiyue clenched his fists, silent, because in Granny Ma’s eyes, he was far inferior to Qin Yun.

"Granny Ma, I swear you’ll see that Qin Yun is nothing compared to me!" Hua Xiyue snapped as he stormed away.

Most disciples were in awe of Qin Yun’s feats in the Immortal Soldier Illusory Realm.

Despite being oppressed by clan factions and fighting his way back up, he had even annihilated the mighty Hua Tian Corps.

Many disciples here were frequently bullied by clan factions’ corps.

Because they lacked strength, they were seen as mere points in the eyes of clan disciples.

...

Qin Yun arrived at the Safe City, making a show of it—standing outside the city gates with a blade in hand.

The moment Hua Xiyue entered the Immortal Soldier Illusory Realm, he heard about Qin Yun’s presence and rushed over.

"Qin Yun, I’ve been searching everywhere for you! Never expected you to show your face! Since reaching the Spirit Martial Realm, you’ve grown quite arrogant!"

Dressed in white, Hua Xiyue’s handsome face was icy, his eyes brimming with murderous fury.

"Arrogant? Even though I wiped out your Hua Tian Corps, I consider it trivial. Your pathetic corps fell before even seeing me—utterly boring," Qin Yun said with a mocking laugh.

"You only relied on Mystic Runes! Without them, you couldn’t even defeat my strategist!" Hua Xiyue shot back.

"Oh? So the vice principal I defeated earlier was far weaker than your strategist? If someone that useless could be a vice principal, your corps truly is garbage!" Qin Yun laughed.

Xia Shufeng, the Hua Tian Corps’ vice principal, had been called 'grandson' to his face by Qin Yun before being eliminated. Furious, he charged at him.

The strategist Chu Bozhong followed, his expression just as deadly.

Qin Yun said with a relaxed smirk, "Ganging up on me? Come at me!"

"Back off—he's mine!" Hua Xiyue commanded coldly.

"Corps Leader, let me handle him! I’ll watch for his Mystic Runes! Without them, he couldn’t even defeat that woman Long Qiaofeng—everyone saw her running him ragged!"

Chu Bozhong sneered confidently.

"True, last time I only lost because Qin Yun ambushed me!" Xia Shufeng added.

"Grandson, I never ambushed you! Don’t lie—lying makes you a bad boy!" Qin Yun taunted.

"Qin Yun, I’ll end you!" Xia Shufeng spat, charging at him.
