    Chapter 0660: Three-Headed Demon Hound

    Bao Changshou remained calm as he glared at the crowd and said sternly, "Listen up! If you don’t want your entire sect or family wiped out, stay in line!"

    "If I find out any of you are scheming against Qin Yun, I will slaughter every last one of you—leaving none alive!"

    The murderous words from a Half-Immortal sent the crowd into terrified silence.

    Han Fenghu stood nearby, completely stunned.

    Ever since Elder Wen and his group were killed earlier, he had been in shock.

    "Whether you're the so-called Martial King, or an Emperor Wu ruling over millions—in the face of absolute power, you are just insects!" Chu Binyu declared. "These people, used to lording it over others as Martial Kings and Emperors Wu, have no idea that beyond mortals, there are immortals! In this world, strength is the ultimate authority!"

    Though Elder Wen and his group were strong, they were hopelessly outmatched compared to Bao Changshou, a Half-Immortal.

    Yet, they dared to act arrogantly in front of Bao Changshou and even shout at Granny Ma.

    This made Bao Changshou feel that his authority as a Half-Immortal Sect Leader was being disrespected.

    So, he flew into a rage and wiped them out then and there!

    At this moment, two more Half-Immortals from the Immortal Armament City arrived.

    The short, bald elder, upon hearing what had just happened, snorted, "Couldn't you have waited for me? Couldn't you have left a few for me to kill?"

    "Old Cat, there will be plenty for you to kill later. Those people will surely seek revenge. We must hurry and protect our assets. If even one of our mines is destroyed, we’ll destroy a hundred of theirs!" Bao Changshou said.

    "Good. When the time comes, I’ll get some action. After being in seclusion for so long, it’s time to stretch my limbs!" The short, bald Half-Immortal chuckled.

    No one doubted the Immortal Armament City’s resolve, and they could only shiver in their boots. None dared to leave or even take out their message shells to report the incident—not with three Half-Immortals watching over them.

    Granny Ma smiled. "At last, we can wait here undisturbed for the results!"

    ...

    After resting for a full day, Qin Yun and the others had nearly healed from their injuries.

    Xiao Yuelan, who had been healing Qin Yun until now, finally stopped.

    It was evening. Yue Bufeng checked the sky and said, "The weather is good. Once the moon rises tonight, I can begin searching for the Beast King!"

    At this point, Qin Yun introduced Yue Bufeng and the others to Xiao Yuelan. "Yuelan, this is Yue Bufeng, Jian Ruyan, and Long Qiaofeng."

    Xiao Yuelan greeted them politely.

    "And this is my wife, Xiao Yuelan," Qin Yun said with a smile.

    "Your wife? You—you actually have such a wonderful wife?" Jian Ruyan scoffed.

    "I’m just lucky!" Qin Yun grinned. "Jian Ruyan, a girl like you will never land a good husband!"

    "I, Jian Ruyan, will never marry! No one is worthy of me!" she shot back proudly.

    Xiao Yuelan looked at Long Qiaofeng and frowned. "Xiao Yun, is she from the Long family?"

    "Mm... Relax, she's under control," Qin Yun quickly reassured her, then sent her a telepathic message explaining that Long Qiaofeng was his inside informant.

    After hearing this, Xiao Yuelan was considerably relieved.

    Xiao Yuelan looked at Yue Bufeng and asked, “Yue Bufeng, are you fairly close with Yue Wulan?”

    “I’m her cousin-brother!” Yue Bufeng quickly replied. He deeply respected Qin Yun and Xiao Yuelan, especially Qin Yun, who had saved him when he was nearly killed by Lv Lingtian.

    “How does the Yue family view her now?” Qin Yun asked urgently.

    “The elders of our Yue family want to use her to capture you!” Yue Bufeng said. “They’ve been reaching out to Wulan, hoping she’d bait you. And they swore to reinstate her as a member of the Yue family!”

    “I’ll let Wulan know,” Xiao Yuelan smiled. “She and I are both from Demonmoon Island.”

    Jian Ruyan and the group were stunned to learn that Xiao Yuelan was a disciple of Demonmoon Island.

    “No wonder Demonmoon Island bent the rules to let Qin Yun join. So *that’s* the reason!”

    Jian Ruyan glanced at Qin Yun and suddenly understood why he had stubbornly refused to join Demonmoon Island—his wife was already there. Getting involved could drag the sect into trouble.

    Yue Bufeng looked at Xiao Yuelan and said, “Your secret with Qin Yun is safe with me!”

    “My lips are sealed!” Jian Ruyan added.

    “Not a peep from me!” Long Qiaofeng quickly assured.

    Jian Ruyan, unaware of Long Qiaofeng’s connection with Qin Yun, skeptically asked, “Long Qiaofeng, level with me—has your Long family assigned you any tasks?”

    “Nothing yet!”

    Long Qiaofeng knew Jian Ruyan didn’t trust her, but she didn’t mind as long as Qin Yun did.

    “Yeah, right. The Long family must have told you to seduce Qin Yun! Now you see he has a wife—don’t even think about it!” Jian Ruyan snapped.

    “I’m not turning on you guys!” Long Qiaofeng replied helplessly.

    Xiao Yuelan chuckled softly. “Night’s falling. We’ll soon find the Beast King!”

    Long Qiaofeng said, “I’m bowing out of the top sixteen, so you don’t need to hunt the Beast King for me.”

    Jian Ruyan frowned. “That’s not acceptable. As the team leader, I must ensure every member secures a spot—even if I don’t fully trust you.”

    “Whatever, have it your way,” Long Qiaofeng sighed.

    Night fell, and the moonlight grew brighter.

    Yue Bufeng closed his eyes, using the moonlight to search for the Beast King on the island.

    After a short while, he opened his eyes and smiled. “I’ve found one. It’ll take us over an hour to reach it.”

    “Move out—before someone beats us to it!” Jian Ruyan said excitedly.

    “I’ll take point; Xiao Yun covers the back,” Xiao Yuelan said, then used her transparency ability, vanishing from sight.

    If Qin Yun wanted to do the same, he could only rely on the Transparent Soul Pearl, though he wasn’t as adept with it.

    “Yuelan, can you turn invisible too?” Jian Ruyan asked in surprise.

    “Mhm,” Xiao Yuelan’s laugh floated back.

    "That's amazing!" Long Qiaofeng thought enviously.

    Jian Ruyan and Long Qiaofeng both believed Xiao Yuelan might be stronger than Qin Yun!

    They suddenly felt that Qin Yun's origins seemed even stranger—he'd met such a powerful woman early on and even married her.

    "Brother Yue, is your Martial Spirit the Lunar Martial Spirit?" Qin Yun asked.

    "The Crescent Moon Martial Spirit? It's the weakest among Lunar Martial Spirits!" Yue Bufeng chuckled. He spoke very politely to Qin Yun, after all, he was his savior.

    "That's still quite good—it's basically a gift from the heavens!" Qin Yun was somewhat surprised, because not just anyone could possess a Lunar Martial Spirit.

    "It can't be considered heaven-sent unless my Lunar Martial Spirit evolves into a Full Moon state!" Yue Bufeng shook his head with a smile.

    This got Qin Yun curious—he wanted to try using the art of soul refinement to help Yue Bufeng's Martial Spirit evolve into a Full Moon.

    After realizing Qin Yun's thoughts, Ling Yuner quickly said, "Xiao Yun, help his Martial Spirit evolve! If he attains a Full Moon Martial Spirit, finding Sister Yang will be much easier! Sister Yang's Black Moon Martial Spirit is the strongest of all Lunar Martial Spirits! Once we reach the Shadowmoon Mountains, Yue Bufeng should be able to sense it!"

    Hearing this, Qin Yun felt a thrill.

    "Brother Yue, how many people in your Yue family have Lunar Martial Spirits?"

    "Not many. Even though we're the Yue family, not everyone has a Lunar Martial Spirit—only a few do!" Yue Bufeng replied. "Of course, very few reach the Full Moon stage."

    Jian Ruyan remarked, "The Yue family's lunar heritage has largely been lost. Their greatest legacy lies in their lunar sigils, and their ancestors once possessed the Moon Maiden Odd Pattern Soul, but it wasn't passed down!"

    Yue Bufeng nodded. "Indeed, this has always been a regret for our Yue family."

    Qin Yun was very intrigued by the Odd Pattern Soul. If he could obtain the Moon Maiden Odd Pattern Soul, etching lunar sigils would be a breeze.

    After running for nearly an hour, the group suddenly stopped.

    "A Beast King is nearby!" Yue Bufeng warned.

    Xiao Yuelan whispered, "I sense it—it's coming!"

    BARK! BARK! BARK!

    Suddenly charging out was a monstrous three-headed dog, each head with three eerie green eyes. Its body stretched over ten meters long, its hide rough and rigid, covered in small spikes.

    Qin Yun quickly summoned tree-root claws, channeling his power through the Tree Totem into the earth, transmitting it to the roots of nearby trees.

    Numerous roots burst from the ground, seizing the three-headed dog's limbs like giant grasping hands.

    Jian Ruyan's spirit sword shot out first, instantly blinding all nine of the dog's eyes.

    The three-headed dog screeched in agony!

    Qin Yun leaped high and came crashing down, punching the beast's back and channeling shockwaves deep into its body to unleash the full force of Dragon Vanquish Five Palms within.

    Boom!

    A deep thud echoed as the technique erupted inside the monster's body.

    Xiao Yuelan lashed out with her blade, slicing at the three-headed dog's limbs.

    Meanwhile, Yue Bufeng used lunar energy to scan their surroundings, alert for any approaching threats.

    Long Qiaofeng also held back from joining the fight, keeping watch so that Qin Yun and the others could battle without distractions.

    Jian Ruyan wielded her twin swords, unleashing a heavenly-class sword art that was immensely powerful, easily piercing through the three-headed dog’s skull.

    However, the beast didn’t die—it was only stunned for a moment and fell to the ground.

    "I've got this!"

    Qin Yun drew Lv Lingtian’s sword and slashed at the beast’s body, ripping open a huge gash. At the same time, Xiao Yuelan and Jian Ruyan joined forces and cut off all three of the dog’s heads.

    Soon, Qin Yun plucked out a black crystal core.

    "Keep it with you for now!" Jian Ruyan said. "Tonight, we should be able to kill a few more!"

    At that moment, Yue Bufeng frowned. "About twenty miles away, two people are fighting—two battling while three others watch. The fight is intense!"

    "Who could be fighting here?" Jian Ruyan asked curiously.

    "Could it be the Immortal Disciples?" Xiao Yuelan said. "Those guys are so arrogant—they’re the only ones who would start fights with disciples from other sects."

    "Let’s go check it out!" Qin Yun said. "If they really are Immortal Disciples, we’ve got to take them out!"
