Chapter 301 Dong Shu Ni and Ling Yu Ling! Xu Tian Palace!
The Chaos Star Sea, the Xutian Palace.
Dong Shu Ni and Ling Yu Ling walked side by side, their figures looking particularly thin in the dark passage of Xu Tian Palace.
Xutian Palace is an extremely mysterious relic in the Chaos Star Sea. It is said that it contains countless opportunities, but it also comes with great dangers. The purpose of the two people's trip is to find a magical medicine that can break through the bottleneck of cultivation.
"Sister Shu Ni, the atmosphere here is so depressing. I always feel like something is wrong." Ling Yuling said in a low voice, her eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly, her hand tightly grasping a long sword flashing with cold light.
Dong Shu Ni nodded, her expression solemn: "Xu Tian Palace is a dangerous place, we must be careful. However, as long as we find the 'Xu Tian Spiritual Grass', our cultivation will be able to improve further, and no matter how big the risk is, it is worth it."
The two continued to move forward, and suddenly, there was a heavy sound of footsteps in front of them, accompanied by a strong pressure. Dong Shu Ni and Ling Yu Ling stopped immediately and looked forward vigilantly.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect to meet two little beauties here!" A rough voice sounded, and then a burly man with a face full of flesh walked out from the shadows. He exuded a powerful aura, and was obviously a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core.
"Who are you?" Ling Yulin asked coldly, with the sword in her hand slightly raised, ready to attack at any time.
The man grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "I am Manwu, the descendant of Man Huzi! How dare you two youngsters trespass into Xutian Palace? You really don't know how to live or die!"
"Man Hu Zi?" Dong Shu Ni's face changed slightly when she heard this. Man Hu Zi was a well-known strong man in the Chaos Star Sea. His cultivation was unfathomable, and his fierce reputation was enough to scare countless cultivators. And since this Man Wu in front of him was the descendant of Man Hu Zi, his strength must not be underestimated.
Seeing the change in their expressions, Man Wu said with a smug smile, "Why, are you scared? If you know what's best for you, just hand over your treasures and have some fun with me. Maybe I can spare your lives!"
"Shameless!" Ling Yulin shouted angrily, and swung the sword in her hand suddenly. A sharp sword energy went straight towards Manwu.
Man Wu sneered and waved his hand to disperse the sword energy: "You are just a Jindan stage junior, you dare to attack me? You really overestimate your own abilities!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly took a step forward and punched out, and the violent spiritual power instantly knocked Ling Yuling away. Seeing this, Dong Shu Ni hurried forward to catch Ling Yuling, but was also knocked back by the force.
"Hahaha, with just this little ability, you dare to come to Xutian Palace to die?" Manwu laughed loudly, his eyes full of contempt.
Dong Shu Ni gritted her teeth, feeling extremely anxious. The cultivation levels of her and Ling Yu Ling were far inferior to that of Man Wu, and they were no match for him. If they fought head-on, they would only die in vain. But if they surrendered, given Man Wu's character, their fate would only be more miserable.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "Manwu, you are looking for death."
The sound was not loud, but it carried a chill that made one's heart tremble. Manwu's laughter stopped abruptly, and he turned around abruptly and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
A slender figure slowly approached, it was Qin Shuang. His expression was cold, his eyes were like knives, staring straight at Man Wu.
"Who are you?" Man Wu frowned, feeling a little uneasy. Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid. The aura emanating from the young man in front of him made him feel palpitations.
Qin Shuang did not answer, but said coldly: "If you dare to touch my people, you will die."
"Your people?" Man Wu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "Boy, who do you think you are? How dare you pretend in front of me! I am the descendant of Man Huzi. If you know what's good for you, get out of here quickly, otherwise..."
"What else?" Qin Shuang interrupted him with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Man Wu's face suddenly darkened: "Otherwise, I will let you know the consequences of offending me, Man Wu!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly punched out, and the violent spiritual power turned into a huge fist shadow, rushing straight towards Qin Shuang. The power of this punch was enough to smash a small mountain into pieces.
However, Qin Shuang just waved his hand lightly, and the fist shadow disappeared like bubbles.
"What?" Man Wu's eyes widened in disbelief. Although he didn't use all his strength in this punch, it was enough to seriously injure an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. But the young man in front of him actually resolved his attack so easily!
"You... who are you?" There was a hint of trembling in Manwu's voice.
Qin Shuang did not answer, but slowly raised his hand, and a bright light condensed in his palm. The light contained a terrifying power, as if it could destroy everything.
Manwu felt the force and his face turned pale instantly. He finally realized that he had hit a wall.
"No...you can't kill me! I am the descendant of Man Huzi. If you kill me, my grandfather will never let you go!" Man Wu shouted in horror, trying to intimidate Qin Shuang with the name of Man Huzi.
However, Qin Shuang just smiled coldly: "Barbarian Hu Zi? Even if he came in person, he couldn't save you."
Before he finished speaking, the light in his hand suddenly burst out, turning into a dazzling beam of light, heading straight for Manwu. Manwu didn't even have time to scream before he was completely swallowed up by the beam of light.
When the light faded, Manwu's figure had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a charred mark.
Dong Shu Ni and Ling Yu Ling stared at this scene in a daze, their hearts were extremely shocked. Although they knew that Qin Shuang was powerful, they didn't expect him to be so strong! Man Wu, who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, couldn't even take a single move from him!
Ling Yuling couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "This... this is too strong..."
Dong Shu Ni's mood was even more complicated. She looked at Qin Shuang, and her mind couldn't help but reflect on the past conflicts between them. She and Qin Shuang had a close relationship, but also a misunderstanding because Qin Shuang had killed her uncle Wang Shichong. At this moment, Qin Shuang saved her again, and she felt both grateful and indescribable contradictions.
Qin Shuang put away his hand, turned around and looked at the two of them, his expression softened: "Are you okay?"
Dong Shu Ni came back to her senses and quickly shook her head: "We are fine, thank you for saving us."
Ling Yuling also said gratefully: "Mr. Qin, if you hadn't shown up in time, we would have been..."
Qin Shuang waved his hand and said calmly: "It's just a small favor, no need to be polite. However, there are many dangers in Xutian Palace, so you'd better leave as soon as possible."
Dong Shu Ni nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "If you kill Man Wu, I'm afraid Man Huzi will not let you go. You..."
Qin Shuang sneered: "Barbarian Beard? If he dares to come, I will make sure he never returns."
His tone was full of confidence and domineering, as if Man Huzi was just an ant in his eyes. Dong Shu Ni and Ling Yu Ling looked at each other, shocked and in awe.
"Let's go. I'll take you out of Xutian Palace." Qin Shuang said.
The two nodded, followed Qin Shuang, and walked out of the Xutian Palace. They knew that with Qin Shuang, there would be no danger along the way. However, Dong Shu Ni was not at peace. The entanglement between her and Qin Shuang made her always feel a complex emotion when facing Qin Shuang. She was grateful for Qin Shuang's life-saving grace, but she could not completely let go of the fact that he killed her uncle.
"Qin Shuang..." Dong Shu Ni suddenly spoke, with a hint of hesitation in her voice.
Qin Shuang stopped and looked back at her: "What's wrong?"
Dong Shu Ni bit her lip and whispered, "Thank you... for saving me."
Qin Shuang was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "You don't have to thank me. I saved you just because I wanted to."
Dong Shu Ni raised her head and looked into Qin Shuang's deep eyes. Suddenly, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She knew that the misunderstanding and entanglement between her and Qin Shuang might never be completely resolved. But at this moment, she just wanted to cherish the moment in front of her.
"Let's go." Qin Shuang turned around and continued walking forward.
Dong Shu Ni and Ling Yu Ling followed behind him.
The first floor of Xutian Palace.
Qin Shuang led Dong Shu Ni and Ling Yu Ling forward and soon met up with Nangong Wan and Soul-Broken Master. Nangong Wan was still as cold and ethereal as ever. Seeing that Qin Shuang and the others were safe and sound, a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.
"Qin Shuang, are you okay?" Nangong Wan asked softly, with a hint of concern in her tone.
Qin Shuang nodded and said calmly: "Everything went well, but there were some minor troubles, which have been resolved."
Dong Shu Ni and Ling Yu Ling stood aside, but they still couldn't calm down.
Especially Ling Yuling, she glanced at Qin Shuang from time to time, her eyes full of awe and shock.
She witnessed with her own eyes the scene of Qin Shuang beheading Man Wu. The strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator shown in his every move made her awe of Qin Shuang reach its peak.
At this moment, a cold breath came from afar, and a figure slowly walked over. The man was wearing a black robe, with a sinister face, and exuded a frightening pressure from his body. It was the Extreme Yin Patriarch!
When Ling Yuling saw the Ji Yin Patriarch, her face suddenly changed. The Ji Yin Patriarch was a well-known strong man in the Chaos Star Sea. His cultivation was unfathomable, and his fierce reputation was enough to scare countless cultivators. She subconsciously took a step back and whispered to Dong Shuni, "Sister Shuni, be careful! That's the Ji Yin Patriarch. Why is he here?"
Dong Shu Ni also felt nervous, but she soon discovered that Master Ji Yin's expression seemed a little strange. He walked in front of Qin Shuang, bowed his head respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "Master, you are back."
"What?!" Ling Yuling's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. She couldn't believe her ears - the Ji Yin Patriarch actually called Qin Shuang "Master"? !
Not only Ling Yuling, Dong Shu Ni and Nangong Wan also showed shocked expressions. What kind of person is the Ji Yin Patriarch? He is a powerful and famous person in the Chaos Star Sea, and his cultivation has already reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul. Such a person actually became Qin Shuang's slave? !
Qin Shuang looked calm, as if he didn't care about everyone's shock. He nodded and said calmly, "Ji Yin, how is it going?"
Patriarch Ji Yin replied respectfully: "Master, everything has been arranged according to your instructions. We have already figured out the core area of Xutian Palace, and we are just waiting for the master to go there in person."
Qin Shuang nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, you did a good job."
Ling Yuling was so shocked after hearing the conversation between the two that she could not describe it in words. She could not help but whisper, "Master Qin, what...what is going on? How could the Ji Yin Patriarch..."
Qin Shuang glanced at her and said calmly: "Ji Yin is my servant now, you don't have to worry."
"Slave?!" Ling Yuling's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, her eyes full of disbelief. She could not imagine that the dignified Ji Yin Patriarch would willingly become someone else's slave!
Dong Shu Ni was also shocked, but she quickly thought of something and whispered to Ling Yuling: "Yuling, Mr. Qin's strength is far beyond our imagination. Maybe... this is nothing to him."
Ling Yuling was even more shocked when she heard this. In addition to awe, she looked at Qin Shuang with a hint of deep admiration.
Although Nangong Wan was also a little surprised, she quickly regained her composure. She looked at Qin Shuang and asked softly, "Qin Shuang, what are your plans next?"
Qin Shuang said calmly: "The core area of Xutian Palace contains a lot of opportunities. I plan to go there in person. You can go with me."
Dong Shu Ni and Ling Yu Ling looked at each other and nodded without hesitation. Although they were afraid of the dangers of Xu Tian Palace, they felt safe with Qin Shuang around.
Nangong Wan also nodded: "In that case, let's go together."
Qin Shuang said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the core area of Xutian Palace. The Jiyin Patriarch followed closely behind him, with an extremely respectful expression.
Along the way, Ling Yuling's mood was still difficult to calm down. She couldn't help but whispered to Dong Shu Ni: "Sister Shu Ni, who is Mr. Qin? Even the Great Yin Patriarch has become his slave! This is too incredible!"
Dong Shu Ni shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know either. Young Master Qin's strength and methods have long exceeded our imagination. Perhaps he is an unfathomable existence."
Ling Yuling nodded, with a complicated look in her eyes. She suddenly felt that the distance between her and Qin Shuang seemed to be getting farther and farther.
At this moment, Qin Shuang suddenly stopped, turned around to look at everyone, and said lightly: "The core area of Xutian Palace is ahead, you should be careful."
Hearing this, everyone nodded and their expressions became serious.
The core area of the Xutian Palace contains countless opportunities, but it is also accompanied by deadly dangers. Even Qin Shuang dare not be careless.
The Chaos Star Sea, deep in the Xutian Palace.
Man Huzi sat cross-legged on a huge stone platform, with a strong cold aura emanating from his body. Behind him stood dozens of cultivators, each of whom had a strong aura and were obviously powerful cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. These people were Man Huzi's confidants, and they were also his support for his dominance in the Chaos Star Sea.
Suddenly, Man Huzi frowned and suddenly opened his eyes. A trace of violence flashed in his eyes, and then he took out a broken soul tablet from his arms. The soul tablet was engraved with the words "Manwu", which was the life tablet of his descendants.
"Crack—" The soul tablet completely shattered, turned into a pile of powder, and slipped through the fingers of Man Huzi. (End of this chapter)
