Chapter 0659 The Dignity of the Sect Leader

Chapter 0659 The Might of the Sect Leader

Huang Lifei was an Immortal Disciple with an Immortal Body, yet now he had been killed and died with great resentment.

Xiao Yuelan picked up the bisected corpse and placed it beside Qin Yun.

Qin Yun also stowed the body away—the corpse of an Immortal Disciple was a precious resource.

"Little Yun, we need to move!"

Xiao Yuelan hurriedly helped Qin Yun up and then looked toward Jian Ruyan and Long Qiaofeng.

Jian Ruyan said, "We can walk on our own. I'll lead the way."

Xiao Yuelan gave a small nod.

Yue Bufeng walked ahead. Though wounded, he kept a brisk pace.

The group traveled for hours before stopping to rest and recover.

Xiao Yuelan removed her mask and gazed at Qin Yun with concern, whispering softly, "Little Yun, how are your injuries?"

"Almost healed!" Qin Yun smiled.

Even so, Xiao Yuelan still pressed her palm against his back, transferring healing energy into him.

Jian Ruyan and Long Qiaofeng couldn't help but admire Xiao Yuelan's beauty.

They thought themselves beautiful, but compared to Xiao Yuelan, they felt just short.

They could also tell that Xiao Yuelan and Qin Yun shared an extremely close bond, their gazes overflowing with tenderness—clearly, their feelings ran deep.

Long Qiaofeng finally understood why Qin Yun hadn't grown closer to her back in the Immortal Soldier Illusionary Realm.

"I wonder how many Immortal Disciples are here?" Jian Ruyan said. "These guys are really pulling out all stops to catch Qin Yun, even bringing in Immortal Disciples!"

Xiao Yuelan replied, "Those Immortal Disciples aren't particularly strong! The Xuanwu Puppets they sent earlier were much more dangerous. Thankfully, they don’t have many of those."

In truth, both Xiao Yuelan and Qin Yun could defeat a single puppet of that level in one-on-one combat.

Their earlier struggle came from being outnumbered by several puppets.

If they were surrounded by multiple Immortal Disciples, they would likely face difficulties as well.

Yue Bufeng said, "The Immortal Disciples were recruited by the Rune Palace from various immortal sects or families, cultivated at great expense. Now two have died—no telling how they’ll respond."

Jian Ruyan’s voice turned icy. "Those scoundrels will retaliate even more fiercely. We’re stuck on Demon Martial Island until the trial ends—who knows what else they’ll send in!"

Qin Yun sighed deeply. "They’ve invested heavily to obtain the Star Monarch Rune Soul. They definitely won’t give up now."

...

Above Demon Martial Island, elders from various factions waited for the trial to conclude.

Elder Wen had been gloating earlier, but after listening to a message from the conch communicator, his expression turned grim.

Han Fenghu, seeing this, felt his heart sink with dread.

"Dead… Two Immortal Disciples are dead!" Elder Wen snarled at Granny Ma in rage.

"What do their deaths have to do with me!" Granny Ma snapped angrily.

Chu Binyu and Bao Changshou had also rushed over overnight, deeply worried about their four disciples.

"It must have been Qin Yun who killed them!"

Elder Wen stormed over, his face contorted with rage as he shouted at Granny Ma.

"Elder Wen, didn’t you say Qin Yun couldn’t defeat them? How can you be certain it was him?" Granny Ma laughed loudly.

The elders from various factions stood utterly dumbfounded!

Two out of the three Immortal Disciples sent inside had died!

"It must have been Qin Yun!" Elder Wen's face contorted in fury as he bellowed.

Granny Ma snarled, "Shut your mouth! I warned you before—sending Immortal Disciples after Qin Yun was suicidal!"

"You were the ones who sent them to capture Qin Yun—you should’ve been prepared! Now that they’re dead, why take it out on me?"

Elder Wen shrieked in rage, "You wretched old crone! Do you know how valuable Immortal Disciples are? That little bastard Qin Yun actually dared to kill them? No sane cultivator would dare kill an Immortal Disciple!"

"Horse shit! You deranged fool!"

Granny Ma’s expression darkened, her eyes brimming with killing intent!

In a blur of motion, she darted forward, twin short spears in hand, spearing through Elder Wen’s skull and gut before he could react.

"Die!"

With a low growl, spiritual energy erupted through her arms, channeling two violent surges that shattered Elder Wen’s head and torso!

KABOOM!

Elder Wen’s body was torn apart by the explosion, scattering into fragments.

Seeing this brutality, the representatives of various factions stared at Granny Ma in horror, scrambling backward.

Bao Changshou and Chu Binyu said nothing—they'd nearly intervened themselves moments earlier.

An ally of Elder Wen, watching from a safe distance, shouted furiously, "Didn’t Immortal Weapon City vow not to interfere in the feud between Qin Yun and us?"

Granny Ma sneered, "Now, this is between me and you! I killed Elder Wen because he crossed me—what of it? If you're unhappy, come kill me!"

With Bao Changshou, the sect leader of Immortal Weapon City—a demi-immortal—standing right here, who would dare?

Bao Changshou declared with disdain, "This Martial Arts Championship has lost its meaning. It’s no longer about hunting the Beast King—it’s all about hunting Qin Yun. What a farce!"

Elder Wen's death was no trivial loss—he was a peak-stage cultivator with high standing in the Rune Pavilion. Otherwise, he wouldn't have controlled four such precious puppets.

Yet Granny Ma harbored not an ounce of remorse for killing him.

Now, she understood why Qin Yun had made so many enemies among the major factions.

It was because these people, relying on their powerful backers, acted tyrannically and unreasonably.

Anyone with strength should ensure such people deserved nothing less than extermination!

"Mystic Sigil Temple, our elders will not let this slide! If you wish to reconcile with us, turn Qin Yun over to us!"

"Your elder killed one of ours — this is unforgivable! The elders of the Mystic Sigil Temple will never stand for it!"

From afar, an elder from Elder Wen's group shouted, his voice brimming with threats.

Bao Changshou drew a deep breath and said, "It seems Celestial Armory City and you already have a death feud. In that case, why shouldn't I kill a few more of your people?"

His words caused the faces of those from the Mystic Sigil Temple to twitch with fear.

"Bao Changshou, are you going to kill me?" a middle-aged man bellowed furiously.

"I'll answer your question with my actions!"

In an instant, Bao Changshou vanished, reappearing over three thousand meters away — directly behind those men!

"I've had enough of you!"

With a furious roar, Bao Changshou slammed his palm down. A massive spectral palm strike pressed down on the Mystic Sigil Temple members.

The palm seemed gentle, but when it struck, those men were instantly erased from existence.

Elder Wen's entire group was dead.

Bao Changshou glared coldly at the other factions and said, "If your disciples want to capture Qin Yun, let them try! But if they end up dead and you come to Celestial Armory City to cause trouble, I’ll bet my dying breath to wipe out your entire sect!"

As the sect master of Celestial Armory City, his words were no idle threat — he would absolutely follow through.

Chu Binyu grinned wolfishly and said, "Sect Master, that’s the way! Nice guys finish last — don’t back down. Who cares about life or death? If they won’t yield, just fight! Hahaha..."

With an immortal calling Celestial Armory Palace home, there was no need to take any crap.

Granny Ma snarled, "All your factions protect your precious little geniuses. When they die, one or two geriatric has-beens always jump out for revenge on Qin Yun! Why can’t Celestial Armory City have Qin Yun's back the same way?"

"From now on, if I find out any of you trouble Qin Yun again, you're dead meat!"

Chu Binyu added, "Qin Yun’s talent is no worse than an Immortal Disciple’s! Our Celestial Armory City should protect him with the same ferocity we protect Immortal Disciples!"

An elder from the Medicine Immortal Valley said coldly, "Celestial Armory City, are you openly interfering in the feud between Qin Yun and us?"

"At first, Qin Yun’s enemies were just one or two individuals. But now, multiple powerful factions are gunning for him!"

Bao Changshou said icily, "You factions deliberately target Qin Yun just to capture him and force Yang Shiyue’s hand, don’t you? This isn’t even about real grudges!"

"Even if there were grudges, it should be between a few individuals and him. Yet you bring your whole damn sects — what kind of logic is that?"

Granny Ma’s face darkened. "Sect Master, many here are deliberately targeting Qin Yun. What should we do?"

"Kill!" Bao Changshou bellowed.

Chu Binyu immediately unleashed his twin weapon spirits.

Granny Ma also sprang into action!

The elders from the other factions were screaming profanities in their heads.

Their impression of Bao Changshou had always been that of a spineless pushover who avoided conflict.

But now — he was cutting them down without a second thought!

The elders who came here to oversee the disciples' trials were all Martial Kings or Emperor Wus.

But before a semi-immortal, they were nothing but ants!

Besides, both Chu Binyu and Granny Ma were also extremely powerful Emperor Wus.

Immortal Weapon City was targeting the Long Family, the Yang Family, the Tian Family, the Medicine Immortal Valley, the Canghuo Immortal Mountain, and several other minor families and star gates allied with these forces.

Granny Ma had been itching to kill those sons of bitches for a long time. Now that Bao Changshou had given the order, she immediately locked onto her target and went berserk!

Under the leadership of Bao Changshou, the semi-immortal sect master, though only Chu Binyu and Granny Ma were present, they still managed to wipe out over twenty Martial Kings and Emperor Wus!

Below semi-immortals, Emperor Wus were the strongest beings in existence, yet several had just perished moments ago!

Members of the other factions were absolutely terrified, silently lamenting the unpredictability of life!

Those twenty-plus Martial Kings and Emperor Wus, who had been so arrogant in front of Granny Ma earlier, were now all dead!

Especially witnessing the deaths of Emperor Wus was heartbreaking.

Cultivating to the Emperor Wu realm was no easy feat—it took thousands of years. Yet now, in the blink of an eye, they were annihilated by a semi-immortal!
