Chapter 0884: Immortal Arms and Immortal Clans

After Qin Yun and Xian Rujing flew up, they hovered high in the air, looking down at the ruins of what was once the Dragon King’s City, now completely collapsed into a gaping crater.

In the future, this place might become a vast lake.

From the distance came waves of malevolent energy and the rumbling of explosions.

"They're still fighting those guys!" Qin Yun said. "Let's go take a look!"

The Seven Swords Patriarch of the Jian Family was the strongest, and it was only because of them that they could resist the group of Half-Immortals from the Long Family after their demonic corruption.

"Sword Patriarch!"

Qin Yun spotted Jian Shitian, who was wounded, his injuries oozing black smoke—injuries inflicted by the demonized Long Family members.

Seeing Qin Yun return, Jian Shitian was overjoyed and shouted, "You two should leave this place immediately!"

Qin Yun did not leave. Instead, he said, "Sword Patriarch, let me help you purge that evil poison!"

Jian Shitian was locked in battle with a demonized Half-Immortal, whose hands had transformed into terrifying dragon claws with blade-like claws.

Qin Yun grabbed Xian Rujing's hand, urging her to unleash Tribulation Lightning infused with Righteous Qi!

Boom!

Xian Rujing released a massive bolt of Tribulation Lightning, striking the demonized Half-Immortal. The Half-Immortal let out a bestial roar as his body corroded, black smoke billowing from him.

The interference gave Jian Shitian the opening he needed. Swiftly executing an advanced sword technique, he thrust multiple times, piercing the fiend a dozen times.

Disengaging, Jian Shitian quickly flew to Qin Yun's side.

Qin Yun released a surge of Righteous Qi to cleanse the evil energy from his wounds.

Without the venomous energy, Jian Shitian's injuries healed rapidly, and he rushed to aid his comrades.

From a distance, Qin Yun and Xian Rujing worked together, firing volleys of Tribulation Lightning, bombarding the demonized Half-Immortals.

Though Xian Rujing's Tribulation Lightning was powerful, it couldn't fatally wound the demonized Half-Immortals—only disrupt them.

With their movements hindered, the Jian Family's Half-Immortals seized the opportunity to land killing blows.

Thanks to Qin Yun and Xian Rujing's intervention, it didn't take long before the demonized Half-Immortals were eliminated one by one.

Having undergone demonization, their Half-Immortal life-crystals had already decayed, rendering them useless. The only valuable remnants were their Martial Souls.

Qin Yun collected these Martial Souls, a substantial haul.

By evening, the crimson glow of the fabled nine setting suns bathed the shattered battlefield in blood-red light. The demonic miasma shrouding the battlefield gradually dissipated under the sunset's radiance.

The members of the Jian Family hovered in the air, standing in solemn silence at the deep chasm below where the Dragon King’s City once stood.

The Dragon King’s City was gone—reduced to rubble.

The Jian Family had achieved a decisive victory, defeating the Long Family. Even backed by the Heavenly Dragon Gate and Mystic Realm Dragon Gate, the Long Family suffered a crushing defeat!

Although the Dragon King Estate was gone, many descendants of the Long family still survived. Most were cowards who bolted at the first sign of trouble.

Those who died were mostly Emperor Wu and Half-Immortals.

Though there were still many Long family descendants left, they would eventually become a third-tier faction, incapable of causing any significant trouble.

Jian Shitian and the other elders of the Jian family looked at Qin Yun, the handsome young man, and couldn't help but marvel.

Without Qin Yun's help, their Jian family might not have succeeded so easily!

"The Spirit Desolate Mortal Domain has been taken by our Jian family. Next, we will attack the Mystic Realm Dragon Gate!" Jian Shitian gazed at the distant sunset, his blood pumping with excitement as he laughed.

Long Cangsheng, along with Long Yucang and Wu Long, flew over.

"Can we join you in attacking the Mystic Realm?" Long Cangsheng asked with a smile.

"The more, the merrier!" Jian Shitian replied heartily. "Let's return and rest first, then hash out the details!"

Long Cangsheng was also heavily injured and wasn’t about to go off alone, so he followed Jian Shitian back to the Jian family, trusting that Jian Shitian wouldn’t kill him.

As for Qin Yun, he left with Bao Changshou’s group, the Half-Immortals from the Celestial Armory City.

Xian Rujing naturally followed Qin Yun as well.

Those who had business in Dragon King City could only blame their misfortune, as the Long family suffered even greater losses—their entire estate was destroyed!

Dragon King City’s destruction would become a major event, discussed for a long time among the people of the Spirit Desolate Mortal Domain.

On Bao Changshou’s flying ship, Qin Yun and Xian Rujing sat in a small lounge.

Xian Rujing wore a cold expression, like an ice sculpture, as she sat stiffly on a chair.

Qin Yun sipped his tea, then asked with a grin, "Miss Rujing, why are you following me? We’re not even close!"

"I came down with the Heavenly Dragon Gate, and you got them all killed! I have nowhere else to go for now, so of course I’m sticking with you!" Xian Rujing snorted.

"Your fiancé is dead—you’re not planning to mooch off me, are you?" Qin Yun asked with exaggerated concern.

"Relax, I’m only following you temporarily. Once I get familiar with this place, I’ll stay far away from a jerk like you!" Xian Rujing snapped. "And don’t ever mention that dead man Long Chuanwu again!"

Qin Yun shrugged, fighting a grin. "Fine, fine, I won’t bring him up!"

Bao Changshou entered the lounge and chuckled. "Qin Yun, you troublemaker, you really are the bane of the Long family! The Tyrant Dragon Stronghold was destroyed because of you, and now the Dragon King Estate is gone too. You’ll become a legend in the Spirit Desolate Mortal Domain!"

"All in a day’s work," Qin Yun laughed. "Elder, this woman has nowhere to go. I’ll take her back to the Celestial Armory City for now—is that alright?"

"You’ve dragged girls home to Celestial Armory City more than once. Do you really need my permission?" Bao Changshou chuckled.

Hearing this, Xian Rujing shot Qin Yun a glare.

"I won’t disturb you two, you’re clearly an item…" Bao Changshou grinned and left.

"Who’s an item with her?!" Qin Yun looked at Xian Rujing with disdain.

Seeing his expression, Xian Rujing felt her dignity greatly insulted and said coldly, "Qin Yun, you’re insufferable!"

Qin Yun curled his lip. "I’m out."

He entered a room, and Xian Rujing stalked after him.

"What are you following me for? There are so many rooms here, just pick any one!" Qin Yun quickly blocked her at the door.

"I'm afraid you'll run away. Get in there!" Xian Rujing shoved Qin Yun into the room and then closed the door behind them.

Bao Changshou looked on bewildered, shaking his head with a sigh. "Kids these days, is this how they flirt? It's nothing like when I was young!"

The flying ship would take some time to travel from Tenglongzhou back to Aoxingzhou.

Inside the room, Qin Yun lay on the bed and said, "Rujing, what are your plans for the future? You can't follow me forever!"

"Once I become Emperor Wu, I'll head to the Transcendent Profound Sea and return to the Immortal Barrens!" Xian Rujing sat by the bed, one foot dangling off the side as she stared at Qin Yun.

"Why are you afraid I'll run away?" Qin Yun was fed up. Being watched so closely by a woman drove him up the wall.

"Take me back to the Immortal Armament City first!" Xian Rujing said. "I'm afraid you'll bail on me mid-journey, and then I won’t know how to get in!"

Qin Yun frowned. "Rujing, do you know about the Immortal Armament City?"

Xian Rujing snorted lightly. "Of course I do! My surname is Xian—what do you think?"

Qin Yun abruptly sat up and asked in a low voice, "So you had this planned all along, woman!"

"The Immortal Armament City is our Xian family's outpost maintained in the Spirit Desolate Mortal Realm!" Xian Rujing said in a hushed tone. "Only descendants of the Xian family can plumb its deepest mysteries. Once you take me inside, I promise I won’t shortchange you!"

"Rujing, once you enter the Immortal Armament Palace, don’t make waves. That place is like my home!" Qin Yun said with some concern.

"I definitely won’t make waves! In the Spirit Desolate Realm, it’s my home too, so don’t worry. Once we get to the Immortal Armament City, can you take me to meet its top dog? Sect Leader Bao isn’t the strongest!" Xian Rujing said.

"No problem!" Qin Yun immediately nodded, thinking of Bingxing. He was also eager to see her, as Long Qiaofeng was in her care recovering.

Over ten days later, Bao Changshou’s flying ship finally arrived at the Immortal Armament Palace.

As soon as they disembarked, Qin Yun took Xian Rujing and made a beeline for the Immortal Armament Hall!

When Qin Yun swung the doors open, he immediately saw Bingxing, holding a book in her hands, absorbed in her reading.

Bingxing sat beside the Immortal Pool, her beautiful long hair floating weightlessly with the immortal qi. Her gown of immaculate white seemed to radiate an otherworldly glow, making her look like a celestial beauty beyond mortal reach from afar.

When Xian Rujing entered and saw Bingxing, she was frozen in place. She had seen many powerful fairies in the Immortal Barrens, but the one before her was even stronger and more beautiful—her radiance near unbearable.

"Sister Bingxing, I'm back!" Qin Yun walked over with a grin. This beautiful woman had kissed him several times before.

Bingxing glanced at Xian Rujing and asked, "Who is this?"

"Someone from the Immortal Barrens—a very wildcat who’s bitten me a few times!" Qin Yun quickly took a few steps back to keep his distance from Xian Rujing.

"I am Xian Rujing, from the Xian family of the Immortal Barrens," Xian Rujing said politely to Bingxing after glaring at Qin Yun.

"A member of the Xian family? Why have you come to the Spirit Desolate Realm?" Bingxing closed her book, stored it in her storage artifact, and gracefully stood up, walking toward Xian Rujing.

Qin Yun gave her the rundown of Xian Rujing’s connection to the Heavenly Dragon Sect’s descent, then recounted the destruction of the Dragon King Manor and the matter of the Blood Evil Dragon King.

Bingxing listened with quiet astonishment, never expecting the Dragon King Manor to conceal so many secrets.

"Sister Bingxing, Rujing says she knows the secrets of the Immortal Armament City!" Qin Yun added.

"The Immortal Armament City was originally built by the Xian family," Bingxing said.

"Sister Bingxing, I need to discuss this matter with you privately," Xian Rujing said, glancing at Qin Yun to indicate she didn’t want him to hear.

Qin Yun groused unhappily, "Fine, I’ll make myself scarce. I’ll go check on Qiao Feng!"

Bingxing said, "Qiao Feng is below."

Qin Yun dove into the Immortal Pool, disappearing into the Immortal Essence below.
