Oh, it was Xiao Yan. Then never mind

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Because Qin Yu had set up Formation around the perimeter beforehand, he could detect anyone approaching immediately, allowing him to cultivate quite peacefully during this period.

He also made use of the positive cycle that the higher his cultivation level, the faster he could cultivate, brought about by the Emperor Hong Violet Qi.

In three months, Qin Yu's cultivation level improved again, reaching the level of Four-Star Dou Venerable.

"Sigh... at this rate of cultivation, I'm afraid I won't even reach the Dou Venerable before you step into the Dou Sheng realm, right?"

Yun Yun had just broken through to the Six-Star Dou Zong, was already numb to it. Although Qin Yu's rapid cultivation speed was a gratifying thing,...

He's moving way too fast, it's almost giving me a heart attack!

"Don't worry, sister. If that day ever comes, we won't look down on you."

Xiao Yi Xian chuckled and casually made a joke.

However, she was equally astonished by Qin Yu's cultivation speed.

In the same three months, she only managed to consolidate her Two-Star Dou Venerable realm and take a step towards Three-Star Dou Zun, while Qin Yu had already broken through to Four-Star Dou Venerable.

Is he really human?

"Xian'er! You're making fun of me again!"

The two beauties started playfully bickering in front of Qin Yu like two children.

Um...

Lü Ziqiao wasn't lying; women fighting is indeed a sight to behold!

"However... come to think of it, it is indeed a bit strange."

While the two girls were playfully bickering, Qin Yu thought of something else.

For three months, the people from the Hall of Souls didn't react at all; the Formation he set up around the area never responded even once.

What, are Mu Gu and the Black and White Heavenly Venerables abandoning them? Don't they want the Heavenly Flames anymore?

Could the Hall of Souls be plotting something big for me?

"Yun'er, you're out early. Has anything happened in Central Plains lately?"

Yun Yun broke through to the Six-Star Dou Zong a month after Qin Yu went into seclusion, so she should be quite familiar with what happened in Central Plains during that time.

"It's nothing serious... Oh, wait, there does seem to be one thing."

After thinking for a while, Yun Yun remembered the message Qian Xunji had brought a few days ago.

Because Qin Yu stayed here, Qian Xunji returned several times after leading the Demon Puppet Sect disciples to a new place.

"Wang Chen, the disciple of the Yellow Springs Venerable and the master of the Yellow Springs Pavilion, was killed in a secret realm."

"Being killed isn't the problem; the key issue is that the killer was protected by the Starfall Pavilion while being pursued by the Yellow Springs Pavilion members."

"The tension between the Yellow Springs Pavilion and the Starfall Pavilion is extremely high right now."

Um?

Something seems off about this script.

How come it was the people from the Yellow Springs Pavilion who were killed?

"However, it is said that Feng Qing'er of the Wind Lightning Pavilion greatly despises the person who killed Wang Chen, saying that he only relies on external forces and is nothing more than a Peak Dou Emperor."

Hmm! This is just right!

I always felt like something was missing!

Therefore, the identity of the murderer is self-evident.

"I wonder who that person is, that they could actually get Venerable Feng of the Starfall Pavilion to help them, even if it means going to war with the Yellow Springs Pavilion."

That person is Xiao Yan.

"Huh?" ×2

Qin Yu's words left Yun Yun and Xiao Yi Xian dumbfounded.

Xiao Yan?

He hasn't appeared in so many chapters! How come he suddenly reappeared?

"No wonder the Hall of Souls people haven't made any moves here; it turns out he's here."

Upon Xiao Yan's appearance, Qin Yu instantly understood some things that had puzzled him.

Oh, it's Xiao Yan. That's alright then.

According to Yun Yun, Yao Chen has probably already been captured by the Hall of Souls.

If Yao Chen were still by Xiao Yan's side, the master and disciple would have gone to find Venerable Feng as soon as they arrived in Central Plains, instead of being rescued by Venerable Feng only when Xiao Yan was being hunted down by the Yellow Springs Pavilion.

With Yao Chen captured and Xiao Yan arriving, it's understandable that the Hall of Souls wouldn't interfere in his affairs once these two appeared.

After all, besides Xiao Yan, who else could inspire such deep affection in the Hall of Souls?

"Xiao Yan... what is his connection with the Starfall Pavilion?"

The two women still didn't quite understand why Qin Yu was so certain that the person was Xiao Yan.

After learning that Xiao Yan's teacher was Venerable Yao Zunzhe, a close friend of Venerable Feng, Yun Yun suddenly understood.

With the Venerable Yao by his side, no wonder Xiao Yan was able to win the Three-Year Agreement back then!

"Then let's..."

The two were aware of Qin Yu's past interactions with Xiao Yan.

"What's wrong with us? Let's just go about our business."

"Xiao Yan is Xiao Yan, and we are us. If we ever need him, we can just go find him again."

Alright.

On the other side, in the Northwestern Continent, on Misty Cloud Mountain.

"Young Master Qian, are you saying that these Earth Tier Cultivation Method and Dou Technique... are all for me?"

Looking at the pile of scrolls in front of him, Yun Shan was speechless with astonishment, and Hai Bo Dong was also completely bewildered.

This young man, Dou Zong, traveled all the way from Central Plains to the Jia Ma Empire just to give him Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills?

"Please accept these; Mr. Qin Yu asked me to deliver them."

"Qin Yu?"

Before Hai Bo Dong could react, Yun Shan beside him exclaimed in surprise.

After many years apart, I never expected to hear news of Qin Yu again from this young man.

"Indeed, a few days ago, Mr. Qin destroyed a major force specializing in Ice Attribute power and obtained these Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills."

"The gentleman said he has a friend in the Northwestern Continent who also possesses Ice Attribute Dou Qi, so he asked me to deliver this item."

After hearing what Qian Xu said, Yun Shan and Hai Bo Dong both fell silent.

"You... you even thought of me...?"

Hai Bo Dong truly didn't expect that Qin Yu, who was thousands of miles away from him, would think of him first when he got something good.

For Qin Yu, these things would be far better than simply giving them to him, whether he used them to build his own power base or to exchange favors with others.

But he still gave these things to himself.

Earth Tier Mid-Rank Ice Attribute cultivation technique!

High Earth Tier Ice Attribute Dou Technique!

High Earth Tier!

Hai Bo Dong didn't know if High Earth Tier Dou Technique were commonplace in Central Plains, but in the Northwestern Continent, High Earth Tier techniques were absolutely unique—a rare find!

"Tsk..."

If Hai Bo Dong weren't a woman, otherwise he really would have traveled thousands of miles to Central Plains to deliver a woman!

Unlike Hai Bo Dong, Yun Shan was now green with envy!

Qin Yu, didn't you even think of bringing something back for me? My obedient and well-behaved disciple has been following you all this time!

"This must be the Sect Master of Yun Shan Sect, right? This is a Seventh-Rank Pill that you asked me to bring back. Please keep it safe."

"Huh? I have one too? Hahaha, okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Young Master Qian!"

Well, back to that point...

My disciple didn't follow the wrong person!

Or you could take another look. My grand-disciple is quite attractive, and she's even my disciple's apprentice!
