Qin Jiuxiao Really Was Popular
That night, all parties spent their time in a flurry of preparation.
Unlike the unexpected start of the first night.
This time, having figured out how to utilize the city's advantages, the group, through their coordinated efforts, brought down a large number of spirit beasts and demonic beasts.
This has given many people hope that they can accumulate enough brilliance.
Those who own cities now generally have higher expectations for the future.
After all, with this model of governing by dividing cities, the more light the people in the city receive, the more light they will ultimately receive.
But this is not the case for all cities.
For example, the city that Qin Jiuxiao and his men occupied.
No one knows Qin Jiuxiao's exact whereabouts.
Although Qin Jiuxiao's strength wasn't particularly outstanding, his status was undeniable, and he was always someone people were wary of.
His absence is certainly unsettling.
In fact, their concerns are not unfounded.
Not all cities can remain stable.
Not all those who enter the city are willing to pay with their light; some may be there to plunder.
Those with sufficient strength can defend themselves against enemies, while those with weak strength are merely intermediaries in the collection of light.
Of course, Qin Jiuxiao, as the person involved, had no need to consider these matters at all.
There was no other reason than the combined effects of the elixir and the injury.
He is currently unable to wake up.
Time passed little by little.
Finally, the night faded, and the sunlight shone again.
Within the secret realm, there were people everywhere who looked tired but were also very excited.
These people are often surrounded by a great deal of light.
Some people, however, did the opposite of what others did; instead of making a move at night, they took advantage of the daytime to go out and search.
In fact, the same applies to the prodigies and others from all sides.
Hunting monsters and spirit beasts at night can accumulate light.
During the day, the obstacles from demonic beasts and spirit beasts lessen, making it a good time to advance the exploration.
Exploration, rather than staying put, is more likely to lead to opportunities.
Time passed slowly, and the secret realm became increasingly lively.
At this moment, underground.
Qin Jiuxiao, who was sleeping peacefully, moved his arm slightly, and then his eyelids also twitched a little.
The next moment, as if he had thought of something, Qin Jiuxiao was startled and suddenly tried to get up.
Thump!
A dull thud followed immediately, and then the wooden board supporting the head cracked.
In an instant, earth and rocks rained down.
After a series of frantic struggles, Qin Jiuxiao finally crawled out from underground, covered in dust and dirt.
Despite having gone through a fierce battle, he did not feel particularly weak at this moment.
After escaping the burial site, Qin Jiuxiao finally tried to calm down and reflect on what had happened.
As I recalled the events that had occurred while I was unconscious, they resurfaced in my mind.
The boy who came out to cause trouble used some strange methods. Even though he had been injured by the boy's life-saving techniques, the boy was still able to suppress him again.
Furthermore, the fear brought about by that terrifying power of will was truly unforgettable.
At that moment, I felt like I was about to lose consciousness.
Then, something seemed to save me, I don't know.
Who exactly saved me?
Qin Jiuxiao tried hard to recall.
However, I have absolutely no memory of it; I didn't have the mind to pay attention to it at the time.
At this moment, Qin Jiuxiao's expression shifted, as if he had suddenly thought of something:
"Sword Intent!"
Before he lost consciousness, he had heard a sword cry and felt the power of that cry.
Moreover, the sound of that sword seemed somewhat familiar!
"Could it be that Sword Immortal?!"
A hint of uncertainty flashed in Qin Jiuxiao's eyes.
Putting aside how the other party managed to get in and use their power, if he remembered correctly, not long ago, the Sword Immortal had tricked the Cloud Heaven Holy Land once.
After thinking for a long time, Qin Jiuxiao was still unsure whether it was really the Sword Intent he had sensed this time.
At the brink of death, having just breathed a sigh of relief, I could only jot down very little.
So Qin Jiuxiao stopped thinking about it and turned his attention to other things.
As it turns out, it's better to keep dwelling on who saved you than to dwell on that.
After all, the trip yielded absolutely nothing of value.
The original plan was to set a trap to torture and kill Luo Zhen, but they didn't even get to see Luo Zhen's face.
On the contrary, because of Liu Qingyan's betrayal, Luo Zhen became quite arrogant towards himself.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been ambushed.
Unable to find Luo Zhen, he decided to kill Liu Qingyan, but unexpectedly, this also brought him obstacles.
This kid, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, has managed to trip me up again.
He even nearly died in the end.
Now that we've stirred up trouble, Luo Zhen will surely be on guard.
On their side, they lost the methods of Saint, as well as two powerful medicinal pills.
Taking action again would be extremely difficult.
"Luo Zhen, Liu Qingyan!"
Qin Jiuxiao gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked; he was visibly furious.
The thought that these two were still in cahoots with each other made Qin Jiuxiao's expression turn somewhat bloodshot.
The spiritual energy around Qin Jiuxiao surged like a tide, unconsciously stimulating his Hard and Unyielding Physique wave after wave.
If others were present, they would have noticed Qin Jiuxiao's current emotional fluctuations.
This continued for a short while.
Suddenly, some unusual fluctuations arose in the spiritual energy within Qin Jiuxiao's body.
At this moment that makes one furious beyond words.
He actually...
We're about to break through!
He hated it as much as he was angry, but he knew exactly what was more important.
At that moment, Qin Jiuxiao sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Time passed little by little.
After breaking through, Qin Jiuxiao changed his clothes, determined his direction, and then headed towards his city.
There's still plenty of time. As long as I'm still in this secret realm, I'm sure I'll find another opportunity.
Now that I'm feeling better, let's do something more important first—go back to the city!
After resting and recuperating, I will seek opportunities to improve my strength.
Not long after, Qin Jiuxiao returned to the city gate.
News of his return spread quickly throughout the city.
However, after only half a day, the atmosphere of discussion in the city is now somewhat different from before.
Therefore, when they saw Qin Jiuxiao, some people's expressions were somewhat strange.
The reason for this was that they had heard about Qin Jiuxiao and Luo Zhen from some people who had come to the city the previous night.
One theory is that Qin Jiuxiao intended to kill Luo Zhen.
Another version of the story is that Qin Jiuxiao tried to force himself on Luo Zhen, but Luo Zhen refused, which led to a breakdown in their relationship.
The latter account, though somewhat absurd, is so vividly embellished that it convinces many that Qin Jiuxiao is indeed a well-connected person.
To say that they weren't opposed would be a lie. Moreover, it's said that the people Qin Jiuxiao brought didn't care about their fellow disciples and caused the deaths of more than twenty people.
Such a thing is somewhat unacceptable to most people.
However, some people feel that there might be something fishy about this matter, and that it should be investigated thoroughly before making any decisions.
However, Qin Jiuxiao did not pay much attention to the reactions of the crowd.
Upon returning, he used his mental powers to scan his surroundings, searching for Luo Zhen's presence.
After all, Luo Zhen never showed up.
Who knows if Luo Zhen might disguise himself and launch a sneak attack?
