Third Stage of the Saint Realm

Hua Qiang swiftly swung his knife and killed another level-two wild boar. He then discovered that all the wild boars in the row of iron cages had been killed.

At this moment, his Slaughter Points has reached 1250 points.

After shaking his slightly sore and numb arms, Hua Qiang shook his head from side to side to relieve the pressure on his neck.

He summoned the Void Panel, consuming 1000 Slaughter Points to add Blood Qi. The next moment, a warm current surged through his entire body.

The fatigue in his body vanished, and the power within him was at least twice as strong as before.

Finally, I've reached the Third Stage of the Saint Realm!

This time, he didn't put all his Slaughter Points into his Blood Qi; he kept some Slaughter Points on him for emergencies.

Several Handyman Disciple in the Slaughterhouse noticed changes in Hua Qiang, sensing that he had become even stronger than before.

No way, how can I become stronger by killing these harmless beasts here?

Why haven't they made any progress in slaughtering these beasts for almost two years?

This world is just too unfair!

Hua Qiang turned his gaze to three large iron cages in the other corner, inside which were three Berserk Rhinoceros covered in wounds.

"Junior Brother Xiao, should we slaughter these rhinoceroses?"

"Senior brother, I can do it for you!"

Xiao Zigui's lips twitched a few times, and he hurriedly said, "Senior brother, we haven't made any plans for these few Berserk Rhinoceros yet."

This is to entertain our guests; it will probably be another ten days or so.

"Oh? Our Azure Cloud Sect will have guests coming in about ten days?"

"Hehe, senior brother, don't you know? The Outer Sect Disciple' competition will be held in Heavenly Empress. People from other sects will come to watch, so we will naturally need to serve them some high-level spirit beast meat."

Oh--

Hua Qiang glanced at the three Berserk Rhinoceros a few more times, reluctant to part with them. If he were to kill them, he would definitely gain another 3,000 Slaughter Points, and he would be able to advance to the next level.

These three Berserk Rhinoceros were all wounded and kept in cages, making them easy to kill.

Hua Qiang even wondered if he could sneak in at night and take the lives of the three rhinoceroses.

He looked around; there were no surveillance cameras. But after thinking about it, he changed his mind.

There are many powerful people within the sect. If I sneak in and someone detects me with their Spiritual Sense, it will be difficult to explain later.

If you're mistaken for a thief and someone slaps you to death, there's no way to reason with them.

Purple Cloud Peak, the main peak of the Azure Cloud Sect, is covered with verdant peaks and shrouded in mist.

Nestled deep within the mountain, a majestic palace stands silently, its steps made of white jade, its golden tiles gleaming, its carved beams and painted rafters exuding both ancient simplicity and luxurious grandeur.

Behind the palace, the courtyard is lush and verdant, with a gentle breeze carrying the rich fragrance of the grass and trees.

A clear spring flows gently, eventually converging into a small pond at its end. Above the pond, a waterside pavilion stands, its eaves and brackets resembling Immortal Crane spreading its wings, both graceful and exquisite.

Inside the pavilion, a slender woman sat gracefully beside a stone table. She wore a long crimson dress, like a burning sunset, the smooth fabric clinging to her body and perfectly outlining her curvaceous figure.

She exudes a mature and charming allure, like the most beautiful flower on a spring branch, rich and captivating.

Her jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulders, with a few strands falling around her fair neck, adding to her languid charm.

At this moment, she gently raised her jade-like hand, leisurely Earth Grade her tea, her beautiful eyes gazing at a cluster of blooming magnolias not far away.

The blossoms were delicate and beautiful, their petals unfolding layer by layer, their stamens trembling gently, as if whispering to the breeze.

The woman's lips were slightly pursed, her eyes were unfocused, and her thoughts seemed to have drifted off to somewhere else.

Just then, led by a maid, Huo Qingtong moved gracefully along the winding path, passing through the lush and verdant landscape, and arrived at the pavilion.

Today, she wore a moon-white brocade robe, her sleeves fluttering, like a fairy descending from the clouds. A light blue ribbon was tied around her waist, dancing lightly in the wind, which further accentuated her graceful figure.

"Mother, what brings you here?" Huo Qingtong stepped into the pavilion, her voice soft and sweet, with a touch of girlish charm.

He sat down next to the enchanting woman, then wrapped his arms around her arm, nuzzled her head against her, and began to wriggle and act coquettishly.

Seeing her daughter's appearance, Shui Xinyue smiled and scolded, "You little rascal, you've grown up and your wings have hardened. You're never home, it's hard to even see you once in a while!"

Although his words carried a hint of reproach, his eyes were full of doting affection.

Huo Qingtong blinked her big, bright eyes and said with a sweet smile, "Mother, I was just afraid of disturbing your cultivation."

"Hehe, I think you're a wild child, always running around outside."

"You must always remember your identity as the Saintess. Every move you make is under the spotlight. You must set an example for all the senior and junior brothers and sisters in the sect."

Shui Xinyue casually recounted her complaints, toying with her teacup in her hand, but her gaze never left her daughter's face.

Suddenly, Shui Xinyue, who was laughing and chatting, froze, her delicate body stiffened, and she almost dropped the teacup in her hand.

She stared wide-eyed at Huo Qingtong in disbelief, exclaiming in shock, "Daughter, you, you've lost your yin!"

Well--

When Huo Qingtong heard Shui Xinyue's question, her tone unconsciously lengthened, revealing a hint of panic in her voice. Her delicate body trembled slightly, just like a frightened fawn.

She quickly lowered her head, her cheeks instantly flushing red, like the brilliant rosy clouds on the horizon, burning hot.

Her heart was pounding like a deer's. She had been trying to figure out how to hide this matter, and she tried her best to conceal her presence the whole way. Unexpectedly, her mother saw through her immediately.

"Tell your mother, what exactly happened? Who bullied you?"

"I will definitely stand up for you, skin that man alive, tear him apart, and capture his soul to burn as a sky lantern, so that he can never be Reincarnation."

Shui Xinyue's Liu Mei were raised, her beautiful eyes held a murderous glint, and her words were like a biting winter wind, chilling one to the bone.

"Mother!"

Huo Qingtong softly called out "Mother," her voice barely audible, tinged with shyness, and stammered, "No one has bullied my daughter."

"No one bullied you, so where did your vagina go? Which man took it?" Shui Xinyue pressed.

His gaze was piercing, as if he wanted to see through his daughter's thoughts.

"Not a maiden, but a daughter..."

Huo Qingtong bit her lip lightly until it turned white, then spoke with difficulty, "My daughter fell in love with someone, and then..."

Shui Xinyue's expression softened slightly, and a smile returned to her lips. She took her daughter's hand and teased her, "And then you gave yourself to him. What kind of person was he?"

Is he the Holy Son of some major sect? Or the direct descendant of some great Lineage?

Or what kind of extraordinary talent and heroic figure could catch my daughter's eye, make her willingly give herself to him, and tell her mother about it, so that I could be happy too.

Huo Qingtong looked hesitant, her hands unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, her eyes darting around, clearly unsure of what to do.

She dared to say that the person who had harmed her was currently in her sect, and was even an Outer Sect Disciple.

"What, is there something you can't talk about? What is it about the other party that's causing my daughter so much distress?" Shui Xinyue frowned slightly, her face full of doubt.

Huo Qingtong steeled her heart, raised her head, looked directly into her brother's eyes, and said, "That person is the pioneer!"

"Reclaiming wasteland?"

Upon hearing this, Shui Xinyue suddenly stood up, creating a gentle breeze that made the flowers in the pavilion tremble.

Her composure was completely gone, replaced by shock and astonishment, her eyes swirling with complex and unfathomable emotions.

He seemed both worried and delighted; his chest heaved, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
