Soaring Dragon City

Qin Jishi watched this unfold without any intention of intervening. He merely looked ahead as if nothing had happened. This matter had nothing to do with him.

Facing the three burly men before her, Liang Simeng's expression turned incomparably cold.

For some reason, she could not help lifting her head to glance at Qin Jishi. Yet when she saw him acting as though nothing had happened, clearly wearing the posture of a spectator enjoying a show—

Sigh!!

Liang Simeng sighed inwardly. This counted as being completely disappointed in him.

Tang Yan silently scolded, "This trash. Fortunately, the Young Lady severed ties with him. How could such trash possibly be worthy of the Young Lady?"

At the same time!!

Liang Simeng's icy voice rang out. "You had best put down what is in your hands and disappear from before my eyes at once. Do not wait until I make a move, only to regret it afterward."

"Hehe!" The leading man sneered. "What a fiery temper."

"But... I like it..."

As he spoke, the leading man licked his thick lips.

Even now, Liang Simeng's gaze turned toward Qin Jishi once again.

Unfortunately, Qin Jishi still made no move whatsoever.

"Looks like he truly has become trash, no longer possessing his former boundless glory."

With that mutter in her heart, Liang Simeng looked at the three men. "I'll give you one final chance. Get lost before I lose my temper."

The three men froze upon hearing this, then burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha!"

"Good, good, good. In a while, we three brothers will have a proper look and see whether you are still this unyielding when we ravage you fiercely..."

Having said that!!

The leading man gave the two men beside him a look, preparing to drag her into the nearby woods...

Just as the leading man signaled the other two and the three were about to act—

Liang Simeng suddenly moved... Her figure flashed, swift as lightning, and her delicate fist shot out fiercely.

Boom!

A dull sound rang out as Liang Simeng's fist smashed into the leading man's chest.

Crack!!

At once, a crisp sound of breaking bones rang out, and the leading man's eyes bulged...

The next moment, his entire body flew backward.

Urgh!!

The remaining two men froze where they stood.

Before they could react, they only saw a blur flash before their eyes.

Crack!

Crack!

Their chests caved in, and they were sent flying.

Bang!

The three men crashed to the ground, their life and death unknown.

In the blink of an eye, the three burly men had been dealt with just like that?

Those who had been robbed blinked repeatedly, as if unable to believe what they had seen.

They had never expected Liang Simeng, such a frail-looking young woman, to possess such strength.

There were quite a few martial cultivators among the crowd, and they knew full well the cultivation of those three burly men.

Every one of them was at the Eighth Level of Qi Entry...

Liang Simeng had defeated them so easily. Then her cultivation had to be...

The Breath Regulation Realm?

Or the Mystic Spirit Realm?

Most importantly, how old was Liang Simeng?

Eighteen?

To attain such cultivation at that age, her talent...

The cultivation realms of this world were: Qi Entry Realm—Breath Regulation Realm—Mystic Spirit Realm—Earth Fiend Realm—Heavenly Dipper Realm—Golden Body Realm—Myriad Manifestations Realm—Peak Attainment Realm—Heaven Splitting Realm. Each realm was divided into nine levels.

On the Azure Wave Continent, anyone who could reach the Myriad Manifestations Realm could become a ruler of one region.

Those who reached the Peak Attainment Realm could dominate an entire continent.

As for the Heaven Splitting Realm, only Ancestor Xuanyuan, who had ascended to the Divine Realm from the Mystic Sky Continent five hundred years ago, had ever reached it. Since then, not a single person in the entire Black and White Domain had attained the Heaven Splitting Realm.

For Liang Simeng to reach the Breath Regulation Realm, or even the Mystic Spirit Realm, at such an age, she could absolutely be called a genius.

Just as everyone stood slightly dumbfounded, Liang Simeng's voice sounded.

"Whoever had their cultivation resources plundered earlier may take them back now."

With that, Liang Simeng turned and left.

"Qin Jishi, I'm telling you, you and our Young Lady are not people of the same world. If I catch you following us again, don't blame me for being rude."

Tang Yan waved her fist, turned, and left... Her words drew everyone's attention.

They looked at Qin Jishi with strange, contempt-filled gazes.

Him? He wanted a toad to eat swan meat? Shameless.

Though they did not know Liang Simeng's identity, with talent like hers, could she possibly be an ordinary person?

Qin Jishi ignored their cold mockery. He simply shook his head, returned to his carriage, and rode away...

Everyone revealed disdainful expressions at this.

Very soon!

Qin Jishi arrived at Soaring Dragon City.

As an important hub of the Azure Wave Imperial Capital, Soaring Dragon City lay at the junction of three continents.

It could be said!!

Although Soaring Dragon City was not among the highest-ranked cities on the Azure Wave Continent, its prosperity was absolutely second only to the Azure Wave Imperial Capital.

The moment he appeared outside Soaring Dragon City...

Beyond the city gates!!

Qin Jishi stepped down from the carriage and tossed three Gold Coins to the driver.

The agreed price for Qin Jishi's hire of the carriage had originally been one Gold Coin.

Yet Qin Jishi had actually given him three Gold Coins. The driver was immediately overwhelmed with gratitude.

Qin Jishi merely waved his hand, then lifted his head and looked ahead.

At that moment, a middle-aged man had already been waiting there for quite some time.

"Young Pavilion Master... I never expected you to truly come. I thought you were merely teasing me..."

The moment this middle-aged man saw Qin Jishi, he hurried before him, slightly bent at the waist, and spoke with indescribable respect...

This scene left the passersby beside them staring dumbstruck.

"Uh, isn't that middle-aged man Yang Kun, the Yang Family's Clan Leader? He is actually bowing and scraping to a young man. Could that young man be a descendant of some great family from the Imperial Capital?"

"Whew, although Clan Leader Yang has not shown himself for the past ten years, he holds an absolute position throughout Soaring Dragon City. Who could possibly bear a bow from him?"

"..."

Seeing Yang Kun's fawning manner, Qin Jishi merely smiled, then followed his guidance into the city.

By sheer coincidence, Liang Simeng appeared there at that moment as well. Seeing Qin Jishi's back, she could not help being slightly stunned.

Liang Simeng then shook her head. "What is wrong with me? Qin Jishi has already fallen so low. How could he possibly have friends in Soaring Dragon City? I must have seen wrongly."

The instant they entered Soaring Dragon City, cries of merchants hawking their wares rang out without end.

On both sides of the road, countless vendors introduced their goods. With just one sweep of his eyes, the dazzling array of items left Qin Jishi overwhelmed...

Yang Kun respectfully accompanied Qin Jishi, not daring to disturb him with a word.

Of course!

As the Clan Leader of Soaring Dragon City's Yang Family, Yang Kun held an extraordinary status here. When those people saw him, every one of them behaved with utmost respect.

At the same time, they secretly guessed at Qin Jishi's origins. What sort of person was he, to make Yang Kun personally accompany him?

"Soaring Dragon City truly deserves to be the intersection of three continents. It is indeed prosperous..."

"Right!"

"Clan Leader Yang, I have only just arrived in Soaring Dragon City. I must trouble you to accompany me."

"Hehe... Young Pavilion Master, you are too polite. Had it not been for you back then, there would be no Yang Kun today. These are all things I ought to do."

After making a round through Soaring Dragon City, beneath the astonished and puzzled gazes of the crowd, the group proceeded in grand procession toward the Yang Family.
