Chapter 0.94 Two People Who Were Like Brothers.
Amidst the crowd, Qin Yuan was deeply moved. Her father was now genuinely admired by so many people, rather than feared or avoided. This scene often only appeared in dreams, filling A’Yuan with a sense of satisfaction, hoping her son… no, father, would become a dragon.
No one knew how Qin Gou managed to see through Venerable Egu’s scheme in an instant. This was indeed the greatness of her father, A’Yuan’s, being in control of everything, always outstanding, and forever unfathomable.
“That old thief Egu, with only a remnant soul left, is no threat. He has already been annihilated by this Seat. There is no point in delaying here any longer. Everyone, leave the secret realm with me,” Qin Gou said with a wave of his hand.
“Yes, Master Qin.”
“I only regret that I haven’t found any opportunities or hidden treasures in the secret realm yet. Otherwise, I would have actively offered a portion to Master Qin!”
“Although we gained some rare items in the maze, they were very few, let alone the legendary Longevity Tree Seed.”
“Master Qin, did you happen to find any inherited secret treasures after eliminating the old thief Egu?”
“As for Longevity Tree Seeds or cultivation techniques, I haven’t seen any after that wisp of Egu’s remnant soul died. Even the treasury was empty before I personally entered it!” Qin Gou shook his head, speaking with a hint of profound meaning.
“An old demon who never intended to pass on his legacy and only wanted to harm our lives, would he be kind enough to prepare any secret treasures? All opportunities are just scams and traps!”
For a moment, all the disciples were dejected. Their harvest this time hardly resembled entering the secret realm of a Dharma Aspect True Person. Instead, it was like raiding a slum. The only consolation was probably the great figure of Master Qin, who always cared for them attentively and worked silently without asking for any reward, bringing them deep comfort.
Afterward, Qin Gou led everyone into the dark room they had been in before. Under the might of Qiu Lingyun, they successfully found the exit of the secret realm.
Disciple after disciple reappeared in Sheng Hui Valley.
Tang Simin and Shen Zhen exchanged glances. Logically, how could the secret realm of a Dharma Aspect True Person be explored so quickly?
As the disciples breathed the outside air, they showed expressions of relief after surviving a disaster. However, they soon realized the heavy atmosphere and the beautiful, uninvited guest not far away.
Ye Qishuang’s expression was serene, as beautiful and moving as jade in autumn frost. She stood up gracefully. The first impression everyone had was her extreme beauty, but then they suddenly realized that the aura emanating from this woman was even more powerful than that of their Sect Elders, Tang Simin and Shen Zhen.
One glance could topple cities, like a phoenix arriving.
Considering further, in whose sphere of influence did Chu Zhou’s Sheng Hui Valley actually lie? Her identity was self-evident! All the disciples couldn’t help but tremble with fear.
At this moment, Ye Qishuang silently counted the number of disciples from the three sects who were emerging. According to the five-five split agreement that everyone had made earlier, the more resources these juniors collected, the greater the benefits for Mystic Maiden Palace.
Tang Simin and Shen Zhen, however, couldn’t help but both think that Palace Lord Ye was the second disciple of Qin Gou of Arc-Moon Mountain. This had never been a secret. However, there were also rumors that the major disciples of Demon Seed Pavilion had already fallen out with Demon Master Qin Gou and had no contact with each other. Moreover, at the founding of either Purple Extreme Demonic Sect or Mystic Maiden Raksha Palace, no one had ever seen the Demon Master appear, which also supported this point.
Therefore, after Master Qin appeared, his situation might not be optimistic!
After all, with the cultivation of Master Qin’s current body, there was absolutely no way he could possess the might to pressure Ancestor Ye.
Gradually, Ye Qishuang began to notice some familiar figures among the disciples of the three sects… Gu Feiyan of Seed Demon Sacred Cult? Why was she here too? It must be a coincidence!
Li Yuanzhen of Sword Questioning Sect? Ao Banwei of the Sea Race? Something wasn’t right…
“Palace Lord Ye, there was a serious accident during the exploration of the secret realm. Even our disciples did not receive any true inheritance. Therefore, I’m afraid the distribution plan that Palace Lord Ye proposed earlier…” Tang Simin said with a troubled expression.
After receiving reports from the disciples, she and Shen Zhen finally learned that the entire Egu Secret Realm was merely a meticulously planned Burial Ground. Let alone any opportunities or hidden treasures, if not for Qin Gou’s full assistance, the disciples of their sects would have suffered heavy losses.
The reason why they, two Dharma Aspect True Persons, were so wary of Ye Qishuang was not due to a lack of courage. If they joined forces, they were confident they could contend with Ye Qishuang, or even gain a slight advantage. However, the lives of a large number of disciples here forced them to hold back.
A green-shirted man, who was familiar to her, suddenly appeared before Ye Qishuang’s eyes. Without any hesitation, she looked at Tang Simin and said, “Be quiet!”
“But…” Tang Simin’s heart turned cold. Did they have to fight?
“I made it very clear earlier. As long as your three sects leave the influence of my Mystic Maiden Palace as soon as possible after this matter is concluded, my Mystic Maiden Palace wants no reward or secret realm opportunities!” Ye Qishuang said, with her small hands behind her back, her voice clear and melodious, accurately reaching everyone’s ears.
“Ah?” Tang Simin and Shen Zhen were both shocked. Had they misheard? They couldn’t believe that even after reaching the Dharma Aspect Realm, they would suffer from ear problems!?
“What ‘ah’?” Ye Qishuang said with a slight pout, gnashing her teeth, and spoke indignantly, “I know that you renowned sects of the Cultivation World look down on my Mystic Maiden Raksha Palace from the bottom of your hearts! Just because our cultivation techniques are unique and different, you all think that the demeanor of my Mystic Maiden Palace must also be lawless and arrogant!
But I, Ye Qishuang, will prove today through my actions that I refuse charity and despise unearned gains the most in my life!”
For a moment, except for Linjiang Immortal Nunnery, the disciples of Fusheng Nunnery and Chang’an Nunnery were stunned. They had no interaction with Mystic Maiden Palace before, and their understanding of Mystic Maiden Palace was only limited to rumors of its peculiar, ambiguous, and morally gray actions. Suddenly hearing Ye Qishuang’s words, they couldn’t help but ponder if the world truly misunderstood Mystic Maiden Raksha Palace.
However, the main reason was that Ye Qishuang’s beauty, from beginning to end, was like that of the innocent beauty who held hot tea and exuded a faint fragrance by her esteemed master’s side back then. This strongly contrasted with her current identity, giving people an excellent first impression.
Tang Simin and Shen Zhen even began to wonder if they were hallucinating. The Palace Lord Ye before them was truly a completely different person from before!
Of course, their guess was not entirely wrong. At this moment, Ye Qishuang was indeed not the formidable Ancestor Ye of a generation. To be precise, she was now not only Ancestor Ye, but also that person’s…
“Xiao Shuang’er, Master understands. Did you want to ask for some treasures from the three sects earlier?” Qin Gou transmitted his voice quietly.
“How could I!”
Ye Qishuang quickly replied, “Master, this is absolutely a misunderstanding… We are all at the Dharma Aspect Realm. How could I possibly threaten them? Take Chan Master Miaoyin of Fusheng Nunnery as an example. She is known as a mighty figure who can fight all over the world without being harmed. How could she possibly be threatened by me?!”
What ‘fight all over the world without being harmed’?
Qin Gou couldn’t help but glance at Tang Simin, who had shaved her head and was wearing a cassock, with her ‘brilliant’ head. He found no reason to refute her at all!
