Please Test My Sword

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Qin Yi pulled out the roster and threw it over.

Meng Qingying took it, glanced at it briefly, and confirmed it was the original. Her pretty face, which had remained aloof since arriving on the mountain, finally revealed its usual charming smile, "You truly are a person of your word."

Qin Yi smiled but did not answer.

Meng Qingying's attitude softened considerably. She stepped forward and, like a submissive wife, straightened his clothes. "Are you really just giving this to me for free? Don't you want anything?"

"What do you want me to order?" Qin Yi smiled. "Like those lecherous monks?"

Meng Qingying's eyes held a hint of allure, and a blush seemed to appear on her usually pale face as she said sweetly, "If it's you, maybe it's possible."

The slender hand that was adjusting his clothes turned slightly, as if to caress his chest.

"Is that so?" Qin Yi suddenly swept his hand across everything.

Meng Qingying swiftly withdrew her slender hand, and the faint shadow aura that had been clinging to Qin Yi's green robe was completely dissipated by the burst of Gang Qi.

If Qin Yi hadn't maintained his protective Gang Qi, he might have been killed in that attack.

On the surface, she exudes tenderness and sweetness, her cheeks flushed with rosy cheeks as she whispers seductive words, but in reality, she is plotting a deadly attack. Every move and expression of the Witch must be taken seriously.

Meng Qingying retreated several feet and laughed, "What a wary little man."

How could he not be wary...? Qin Yi knew that she actually harbored hatred towards him. She remembered the previous grudges very well and could turn on him at any time.

They have always been enemies.

But giving her this list isn't a big deal. Qin Yi has no intention of protecting the Da Qian Emperor. He had already considered giving it to her as a favor, Liusu also felt that she could cooperate with Meng Qingying, so why keep it? As for exchanging it for any benefits... since she's using it for self-defense, extorting her for it doesn't seem very meaningful, so he'll just give it to her.

He finally said, "Although our enmity stems from differing stances, I understand your feelings that you believe I harmed you and want to kill me. However, from my perspective, dealing with you at that time was justified, and I will not apologize for it. As long as no one else is involved, I, Qin, am ready to settle our score at any time."

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to go down the mountain.

Meng Qingying said from behind, "Since you won't apologize for what happened before, why did you give me the roster for nothing?"

"Why would I help those lecherous monks manipulate you? It makes it seem like you think I, Qin Yi, am more hateful than those lecherous monks." Qin Yi waved his hand. "Farewell."

"What if I've been lying to you from the beginning?"

Qin Yi paused, then suddenly laughed, "Then consider it a mistake you made. You can't win everything; worrying too much is tiring."

Meng Qingying's eyes showed even more interest, and she asked again, "So, you plan to give up on your mission at the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace?"

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then turned back.

Meng Qingying laughed and said, "What, are you going to back out?"

"No," Qin Yi said seriously, "I also want to make a deal with you. Are you interested?"

Meng Qingying blinked. "What kind of deal?"

"I can disregard the dynastic change or even the chaos and bloodshed caused by your taking the dragon's energy of the Great Qian Dynasty. I will consider it an inevitable historical event. I have no need to maintain the rule of one family or clan. Being overthrown is also the way of Heavenly Dao."

Meng Qingying smiled sweetly, revealing two shallow dimples on her cheeks. "And then?"

"But the Great Joy Temple wants to turn this country into their so-called Buddha Country, turning all the women in the country into Cauldron for them to take at will... I can't stand by and watch this happen." Qin Yi said, "If my master wants to protect the Great Qian, he certainly won't protect just one family or clan, but the people of the Great Qian. That is the real mission I should accomplish on this trip."

Meng Qingying's smile grew even brighter, "You... you're really funny."

On Qin Yi's shoulder, in the air she couldn't see, a tiny figure nodded vigorously, echoing, "Like an idiot."

Meng Qingying saw Qin Yi pat her shoulder as if swatting a fly. She didn't ponder the deeper meaning of the gesture, simply smiling, "How do you plan to stop this? This matter has already spread throughout the country, infiltrated the court and the countryside, even the emperor and the Crown Prince are in cahoots. Even if that list really gets the emperor, it will at most cause some trouble for the Great Joy Temple. You should remember what I said before, the list only adds half a point to my bargaining power, half a point, understand?"

"Since I've given you the roster, I don't intend to rely on it," Qin Yi said. "But you know a lot about the inner workings of the Great Joy Temple, which can be of great help to me."

"For example?"

"The Great Joy Temple is a major sect of demonic cultivation; it's impossible for the entire sect to be responsible for running a mere secular government, right? It's most likely just an external affairs hall that's in charge?"

"That's right. The Secular Universal Salvation Hall of Great Joy Temple is dedicated to worldly affairs."

"Did the Chief Seat personally attend? How is his spiritual practice progressing?"

Meng Qingying laughed and said, "You want to just kill the key person in charge of this matter?"

"Of course, a scheme that spans the entire country obviously requires a strong organization. If there is no leader, chaos will ensue. And since you have obtained the dragon's energy, heroes will rise from humble beginnings to reclaim the land of the Great Qian Dynasty, and a new National Luck will be formed. It will be difficult for the Great Joy Temple to have another chance like this. You have not lost out, and my goal has been achieved."

Meng Qingying clapped her hands and said, "That makes sense."

Qin Yi said, "Back at Hongfa Temple, you didn't hesitate to kill the lecherous monk, which shows you have no qualms about killing people from Great Joy Temple. This time, they're even eyeing your body. Don't you feel any hatred? Cooperating with me in this scheme would be a win-win situation."

Meng Qingying laughed heartily, "Interesting, interesting! Tell me the specifics of how we'll collaborate?"

"By joining forces with me, you will be able to obtain the Great Joy Temple Treasures Suppressing Luck, and help you take away the Dragon's Qi. The deal is done."

"It's a good proposal." Meng Qingying laughed for a while, then suddenly her smile faded, "But I can't make this deal with you."

Qin Yi asked curiously, "Why?"

"Guan Ji, the Chief Seat the Universal Salvation Hall Great Joy Temple, is a powerful being at the Soaring Cloud Sixth Layer. I can only swallow my anger when he provokes me, but I dare not provoke him on my own." Meng Qingying chuckled, "However, I can give you their positions as a thank you for giving me the roster."

Qin Yi remained calm, showing no disappointment at being rejected. "Then thank you anyway."

Meng Qingying laughed, "You're really funny. You're like a jumbled mess of different kinds of people, seemingly righteous at first glance, but quite wicked upon closer inspection. The tricks you used to trick me back then were anything but gentlemanly, and just now I saw you associating with demons... Now you're trying to cooperate with my demonic path without any psychological barriers, doing whatever you want. And yet, how come you have such a chivalrous air about you...?"

Qin Yi said calmly, "Same to you. You say you're a demon, but how do you know there isn't a Buddha residing in your heart? That's just human nature."

"Ha..." Meng Qingying paused for a moment, then, without refuting, suddenly took to the air and flew away. "Someone's coming, I'm leaving first. You deal with them first, then consider whether you dare to confront the Great Joy Temple."

Qin Yi watched her departing figure as she soared away on the clouds, feeling a pang of envy. He wondered when he would ever reach the realm of cloud soaring.

As for the arrival of someone... he sensed it too.

A very violent aura was rushing up the mountain, and it had reached the mountainside in just a few breaths.

This aura feels somewhat familiar; I just saw it at the palace gate this morning... that muscular Ci Hui, who cultivated like me.

So they finally found out where they were by some unknown means? That's incredibly slow; they're miles behind Meng Qingying.

Qin Yi turned around, looking indifferently at Ci Hui, who was leaping up the stream like a tiger. He could already sense that many monks were approaching from a distance, seemingly trying to surround him. However, strangely, he didn't feel any pressure from the Soaring Cloud Realm. Did they really think he was so easy to bully that he didn't need a powerful figure to intervene?

Without any powerful figures intervening, the so-called encirclement is not a big problem. Sound attacks are specifically designed to deal with this... I haven't had a proper real combat experience in a long time, so this is a good opportunity to test it out. I wonder how these people compare to the monkeys.

When Ci Hui reached the top of the mountain, she was stunned to see Qin Yi standing motionless with his hands behind his back. Then she sneered, "You're not running away."

Qin Yi said calmly, "Dragon Abyss City is only so big, where can we possibly run off to? Besides, doesn't Master think that since we cultivate in the same way, it would be a great joy in life to have a thorough and enjoyable battle?"

A group of monks landed nearby. Ci Hui waved his hand to stop them, and Humu also showed some interest. "Very good, just what I wanted."

Qin Yi dusted off his blue robe and said nonchalantly, "Please Test My Sword."

Ci Hui solemnly took out a Zen Staff: "Draw your sword."

Qin Yi pulled out Wolf Tooth Club.

Hidden in the sky, Meng Qingying sat on a cloud, propping her pink cheeks up with her hand, and almost laughed herself to death.
