Chapter 20: How Dare You?
"Junior Brother, are you crazy?"
"You can still stand being in this demonic den?"
"To be honest, I've been captured for over a year and haven't stopped thinking about escaping the Old Devil's grasp. Are you content to stay by the Old Devil's side forever?!"
Bai Feng hadn't expected this.
Among the Medicinal Seeds he had interacted with over the past year, everyone who heard of a chance to escape Xuan Chengzi's demonic clutches would agree without hesitation, though they wouldn't agree to help him activate the formation.
Qin Yang, however, was an anomaly.
He had decisively refused this tempting opportunity. What kind of bewitching pill had he taken?!
"Content? Why wouldn't I be content?"
"Everyone here is so talented and speaks so strangely. I like it the most."
Qin Yang shrugged.
This completely stunned Bai Feng, leaving him utterly bewildered.
A lunatic! This Medicinal Seed before him was definitely a lunatic!
What normal person would say they liked evil cultivators?
"So, you've made up your mind, Junior Brother Qin? You intend to stay here forever?" Bai Feng's gaze turned cold, hidden malice glinting within.
"That's right." Qin Yang's face was unblushing, his heart steady. His main goal was sincerity!
Hearing this, Bai Feng made up his mind and let out two cold laughs.
"Good, very good."
"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite, Senior Brother."
"You already know my intentions, so I can't let you live!"
Bai Feng intended to silence him!
In his eyes, Qin Yang was merely a Medicinal Seed with no cultivation whatsoever. This was why he dared to brazenly ask if he had any intention of escaping.
At worst, he would just kill him to silence him!
"Senior Brother Bai, how dare you? Aren't you afraid Master will find trouble with you?" Qin Yang feigned shock and took two steps back.
"Hahaha."
"Master? That Old Devil won't care about these things. If he dies, he dies. He's just a mere Medicinal Seed. He even implicitly approves of such actions. Otherwise, why do you think there are only three disciples around that old fellow, while everyone else has basically become nourishment for our cultivation!"
"And your fate will be the same!"
Bai Feng laughed heartily.
However, Qin Yang was even happier than him.
"Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. I was initially worried that old fellow would cause trouble. Since that's the case, thank you, Senior Brother Bai, for telling me. You've helped me a great deal."
As soon as he said this, Bai Feng frowned.
What the heck.
Why was this person talking nonsense?
He was facing death, yet he said he was relieved?
Relieved to die?
He was going to kill him, and the guy was thanking him!
"You're insane. Rest in peace!"
Bai Feng's eyes turned cold. He had already mobilized the Spiritual Power within his body and charged forward, intending to snap Qin Yang's neck directly.
He believed that with his Qi Refining Realm Third Layer cultivation, he could easily separate Qin Yang's head from his body!
But just as he thought this, he suddenly found that Qin Yang, who was in front of him, had actually moved. And he moved faster than Bai Feng, arriving first despite acting later!
Swish!
At this moment, Qin Yang stopped acting.
The aura of his Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer cultivation erupted, a completely different league from Bai Feng's!
Although he hadn't mastered any techniques, the sheer strength augmented by his Spiritual Power was enough to crush Bai Feng, who only had the strength of the Qi Refining Realm Third Layer!
"How is this possible?!"
"Where did you get your cultivation?!"
Bai Feng was greatly alarmed. This was unbelievable.
To know that when Qin Yang was captured, he was just an ordinary person. Even if he possessed a Spirit Root, as a Medicinal Seed, he had no chance to cultivate. Let alone making such rapid progress in just a few days, transforming from an ordinary person into a cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer!
This was completely beyond his expectations!
"What, is it hard to believe?"
"Exactly, how would an evil cultivator like you understand the troubles of a cultivation genius like me? Do you think you can even imagine my cultivation progress each day?"
Qin Yang shook his head and had already reached Bai Feng.
Bang!
A dull sound, accompanied by the cracking of bones, echoed.
Bai Feng was no match at all.
Half of his face was completely shattered. Under Qin Yang's astonishing strength, he was sent flying, landing in a pool of blood, barely clinging to life.
As Qin Yang approached, Bai Feng, convulsing uncontrollably, stared at him with all his might, unable to speak.
His eyes were still filled with unwillingness and shock.
Unfortunately, he was destined never to understand what had happened!
"How many times have I told you to wear a helmet when you go out? Why don't you ever listen?"
"Oh well, see you in the next life."
Qin Yang, like kicking a dead dog, sent Bai Feng to his death with a single kick, his eyes wide open in death!
Next, he proceeded to loot the body as usual.
There were three items on Bai Feng.
The Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art, a map scroll of the Cave Immortal Land, and the formation array for the Poison Cleansing Spirit Array.
"I don't need the Cloud Gazing Qi Swallowing Art, and the Poison Cleansing Spirit Array is even more useless to me, its limitations are too great."
"The only useful item is the map scroll of the Cave Immortal Land."
Qin Yang took the scroll, making Bai Feng useful in death.
Seeing that it was still early, he decided to go down the mountain to Xiabai Town one more time to obtain the Earth Spirit Pearl for his cultivation!
Of course, this time he didn't need to escape. He had ample time and would proceed according to his own plan.
And so, Qin Yang soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.
After his cultivation advanced to the Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer, his walking now created gusts of wind. Not only was his speed four to five times faster, but he also felt no fatigue. In just half an hour, he reached Xiabai Town!
"Roar!"
From the swampy area, the angry roar of the Azure Blood Crocodile could be heard.
Unfortunately, it was no match for Qin Yang. His skull was pierced with a single punch. Qin Yang, as familiar as ever, retrieved the Earth Spirit Pearl!
"It's time to go back. I still need to gather some spirit herbs and medicinal plants so that old fellow Xuan Chengzi won't notice anything."
Qin Yang began his journey back.
Following the task assigned by Xuan Chengzi, along with a Pill Scripture given by the latter, he casually picked a few spirit herbs and medicinal plants on the mountain and brought them back. As expected, it didn't attract any attention, and everything proceeded as usual!
This made Qin Yang breathe a sigh of relief. This path was viable.
From now on, he just needed to live his life as usual every day and not let Xuan Chengzi discover that he had cultivation.
In just over half a month, Su Ye would come knocking, ready to punish Xuan Chengzi for his treacherous betrayal!
And just as Qin Yang returned to his cave dwelling and handed over the spirit herbs and medicinal plants, a short while later, a commotion of crying and shouting erupted from the cave dwelling, along with familiar angry curses.
Qin Yang came out to see Lu Xun and Chang Er.
As for the crying sounds, they came from the more than ten young boys and girls they had brought back behind them.
Qin Yang was all too familiar with this scene.
This was exactly how he had been coaxed, deceived, and finally threatened into coming here!
