Qin Qin Found Life in the Jaws of Death

"The White-Robed Zither Demon, I know who she is now?"

"This is what Ao Guangtan, the seventh prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace, murmured."

A follower asked, "Seventh Prince, who is she, and what faction does Miaomiao Mountain belong to?"

The Seventh Prince did not directly answer his attendant's question, "This matter begins with the Great Void Secret Realm of yesteryear..."

After a while, the cultivators of the East Sea Dragon Palace listened to the Seventh Prince's story, and their expressions became strange.

A venerable Great Sage sitting beside the Seventh Prince said, "So, who else has arrived as well?"

"Good."

The Seventh Prince said, "You should have heard that the White-Robed Zither Demon was fighting on behalf of his sect."

hiss...

The cultivators in the East Sea Dragon Cave gasped in shock upon hearing this.

The venerable Great Sage asked, "Then our trip has been in vain?"

The Seventh Prince smiled and said, "To witness the magnificence of Great Sage Qiankun is surely a wonderful thing, isn't it?"

That makes sense.

The cultivators of the East Sea Dragon Palace nodded in agreement, deciding not to continue participating in this martial arts contest for marriage.

The other two holy land forces, Ao Guangli, the eighth prince of the South Sea Dragon Palace, kept pressing his thumb against his other fingers, making his joints crack.

The group of cultivators sitting around him remained silent, simply waiting for their Crown Prince to issue his orders.

Ao Guangli didn't speak, but instead turned his gaze towards the East Sea Dragon Palace. Seeing the group of people from the East Sea Dragon Palace chatting and laughing, looking like they'd come to watch a show, he was completely confused. What were these guys from the East Sea Dragon Palace doing?

Don't you realize that all the pressure is now on us, the holy land forces?

He glanced at the Qingqiu Fox Clan not far away. Those foxes were even more outrageous, eating spirit fruits and drinking tea while completely ignoring the strange looks from others.

Just as Ao Guangli was feeling particularly puzzled, a loud voice came from the stands of the Great Peng Clan.

"It seems that the so-called heroes of the world are nothing more than this. More than a dozen King and Marquis were actually suppressed by a little girl who appeared out of nowhere. It's truly shameful if word gets out."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present turned to look in the direction from which the voice came.

A tall, imposing roc Demon Cultivator with a pair of gray wings on its back stepped forward.

Its expression was arrogant, and its sharp eyes were filled with disdain.

But no one dared to question his words, because this man exuded the aura of Great Sage.

The Gray-Winged Great Peng took a step forward, flew onto the arena, looked down at Qin Qin, and said indifferently, "Junior, will you admit defeat yourself, or do you want me to destroy your Dao heart?"

Qin Qin stroked her zither with both hands and said calmly, "The word 'admitting defeat' does not exist in the dictionary of the disciples of Miaomiao Mountain."

"Then I will grant your wish."

As the Gray-Winged Great Peng spoke, Dao Light shot from its eyes, and it descended towards Qin Qin.

That Dao Light easily destroyed the True Intent Meaning Shadow behind Qin Qin, as well as Qin Qin's protective light shield.

puff...

Qin Qin spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed onto her guqin. She slowly raised her head and said with a smile, "Didn't you say you wanted to destroy my Dao heart? It seems you were nothing special after all."

As she finished speaking, the shadow of True Intent True Intent reappeared behind her, even more solid than before.

The sound of a zither then began.

hiss...

The cultivators present gasped in shock at the sight.

Seeing this, the Great Sage Golden Wing murmured in astonishment, "Brother, Martial Niece Qin is going too far! Wouldn't it have been better to just admit defeat in a contest?"

"No."

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "She's breaking through and comprehending the True Essence of the Great Dao."

???

The Great Sage Golden Wing, Princess Bai Yu, and the others all wore expressions of suspicion.

"Brother, you're not kidding me, are you? How can anyone in this world comprehend the True Essence of the Great Dao like that?"

Great Sage Golden Wing said with a look of astonishment.

"She is comprehending the Dao of Destruction, but her Daoist heart remains undying. How can she know what true destruction feels like?"

Chu Feng paused for a moment, then continued, "Don't worry, Qin'er will be fine with me here. I'll step in if necessary."

In the sky, a murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the Gray-Winged Great Peng. He coldly said, "Fine, since you've chosen your own path to death, seeking the destruction of your Dao heart, then don't blame me for bullying the weak with my superior strength! Suppress!!!"

Words become law; the Gray-Winged Great Peng simply patted its hand, and a terrifying force descended from the sky, landing on Qin Qin.

Rumble!

A loud bang echoed from the stage, and the scene that had just occurred repeated itself.

This time, however, Qin Qin fainted on the stage, lying motionless on her zither, her life force gradually dissipating.

"What a pity."

The onlookers on Sea-Viewing Peak were moved by what they saw.

The people around them joined in.

"Yes, although the White-Robed Zither Demon has an unseemly name, judging from our previous encounter, he wasn't a bloodthirsty person. It's truly a pity that such talent has fallen here."

"I don't know what the elders of Miaomiao Mountain were thinking, actually allowing their disciple to challenge a Great Sage. If I were that kind of prodigy, I would absolutely not allow her to put herself in such danger."

"..."

As everyone spoke, Qin Qin's life force also dissipated.

Just when everyone thought that this prodigy had perished, a divine light emanated from her body, and her vitality was restored.

"Huh..."

Seeing this, the Gray-Winged Great Peng's eyes flashed with doubt, but it quickly grasped the key point, muttering, "To put oneself in a life-or-death situation and then live, to try and comprehend the True Essence of the Great Dao through this, to use me, the Great Sage Tianhui, as a whetstone—it's utterly delusional! Die!!!"

Just then, a faint voice came from the audience. "Wait a minute."

"Snort!"

The Gray-Winged Great Peng snorted coldly and raised its hand, saying, "You told me to wait, and I stopped? You really think I have no temper? Today is this girl's death day."

After saying that, he unleashed another palm strike.

Why bother?

At the same time as the voice that had just been heard rang out, the sound of a chess piece hitting the ground also followed.

Clatter!

Everyone looked curiously in the direction of the sound of the chess piece hitting the ground, but they saw no one; instead, the sky and earth seemed to change color.

The once Wanli blue sky suddenly transformed into a giant chessboard, Great Sage Tianhui was imprisoned within it. His earlier strike was easily neutralized by a single white piece.

The Great Sage Tianhui loudly questioned, "Who is it, lurking around so suspiciously, afraid to step forward and fight me?"

"I am right in front of you, can't you see me?"

As a slightly playful voice rang out, everyone noticed a handsome young man with a feather fan and turban standing before the Great Sage Tianhui.

The young man was Chu Feng. With a gentle wave of his feather fan, Qin Qin flew back to the stands where she had been.

After Chu Feng finished dealing with everything, he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you have won this battle. I am just taking my disciple back. Farewell."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his feather fan, and the chessboard in the sky instantly vanished.

Seeing this, Great Sage Tianhui coldly said, "Boy, this isn't your Miaomiao Mountain, where you can come and go as you please. If you want to leave today, you'll have to fight me first!!!"
