With that, everything here was finally settled. The Xuanhuang Mother Beast had been completely subdued and entered into Yun Chu'an's magic treasure.

Chapter 758 The Qin Army Arrives

Yun Chu'an breathed a long sigh of relief. He separated a wisp of his spiritual sense and explored the inside of the spherical magic treasure. He saw the enormous Xuanhuang Mother Beast curled up and sleeping peacefully in a tiny demiplane.

Judging from this, it shouldn't pose any further threat to itself in the short term.

A safe and secure pacification. You sing, you have, you're free, you're in, you're not here...

Realizing this, he felt a surge of joy, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.

But then, realizing the gazes coming from the side, his expression shifted. He turned his head and looked around at the rebel cultivators, and saw that everyone, including Zuo Qian, whether it was Gu Jian and Gu Yu, or the other rebel cultivators, were staring at her with expressions that could only be described as dumbfounded.

Gu Yu was truly shocked. No matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't believe that the enormous Xuanhuang Mother Beast, which they had tried so hard to subdue, had been so easily taken into Yun Chu'an's magic weapon!

This……

Previously, she knew he was very powerful, but because he had never shown his skills in various miscellaneous matters, Gu Yu never thought that he was also good at subduing these elemental monsters.

He only needs to be the strongest fighting force among the allied forces; as for the technical work of subduing monsters, that's something we'll have to do.

This was Gu Yu's true thought. She never imagined that Yun Chu'an was so skilled in this art that he could easily capture the Xuanhuang Mother Beast, which even they couldn't control with their combined efforts, with just a few moves!

This……

Does that mean he is actually omnipotent?

He's skilled at both fighting enemies and subduing monsters, so wouldn't he be able to do everything by himself?

Despite possessing such immense power, he still chose to cooperate with us, and even initially offered to give us the demonic beast...

For a moment, a small misunderstanding arose in the mind of this white rabbit demon. Of course, she could not possibly guess that Yun Chu'an actually knew nothing about how to control demonic beasts, nor did he intend to spend time and effort to study this field that he was not familiar with.

He was just cramming at the last minute, buying the relevant items from the system.

She couldn't possibly know, and therefore, at this moment, the girl's mind inevitably began to wander.

Good heavens, why is he so nice to us?

Furthermore, he deliberately let me go at first. Was this out of some noble virtue, or...?

The little girl's thoughts were in a bit of a mess for a moment.

Zuo Qian didn't have many other thoughts for the moment. His face was filled with emotion as he took the initiative to fly into the sky and cupped his fists to Yun Chu'an, saying, "As expected, heroes emerge from among the young. Fellow Daoist Yun, I never thought that in the end, it would still be you who had to clean up all this."

As he spoke, a hint of worry shone in his cloudy old eyes as he stared intently at him.

Compared to his granddaughter, the old man couldn't care less about anything else. The heavy responsibility of ensuring the survival of the rebel army weighed on his mind, and he had to make sure that he and his men had not suffered any substantial losses.

Yun Chu'an could guess what he was thinking, and immediately said, "That's not the case, senior. We were able to accomplish all of this and eliminate these evil cultivators without your help."

"This Xuanhuang Mother Beast should have been your spoils of war, but it was accidentally released because we were trying to help you lure the Ruthless Sect. I simply retrieved it for you."

Upon hearing his frankness, the solemnity on Zuo Qian's face vanished, replaced by fervent joy: "Fellow Daoist Yun is truly insightful; I am ashamed to admit my inferiority!"

Yun Chu'an smiled lightly. After all, he really didn't intend to swallow this demon beast. Just thinking about taking care of a Nascent Soul stage demon beast would be time-consuming and laborious, and he would also have to study the relevant knowledge himself. He didn't want to waste that effort, and it might even delay the improvement of his combat power.

It would be good to delegate these matters to a trustworthy partner. As long as the King of Qin remains in power, their cooperation will always be seamless.

As the two were talking, suddenly, a shout came from afar: "The Qin army is coming!"

Immediately, both of their expressions changed. Zuo Qian's face darkened, and he cursed, "Damn it, why now! This place is no place to stay any longer, let's get out of here!"

Yun Chu'an cursed inwardly. His spiritual power was almost exhausted, and it was indeed not a good time to fight the Qin army.

He had no intention of engaging in direct combat with the other party. He immediately turned around, accelerated to his maximum speed, and retreated into the distance along with Zuo Qian and the others.

However, the Qin army had already arrived.

Moreover, he was fast, but his opponents were even faster.

An overwhelming and unparalleled aura emanated from afar, growing ever closer. The opponent seemed to have no intention of concealing their cultivation level, so much so that Yun Chu'an, with just a slight turn of his head, accurately sensed their cultivation without even using the "Qi Observation Technique."

The moment he confirmed the information, his pupils contracted slightly.

The middle stage of Nascent Soul!

Because of this matter, a Qin State Pillar of State at the mid-Nascent Soul stage actually came here in person!

They really think highly of us...

He sighed inwardly, but knew that simply complaining wouldn't solve anything. Gritting his teeth slightly, he silently recited an incantation, sent a message, then gripped his guan dao tightly, preparing for one last gamble.

As long as we hold on until they come back, everything will be alright...

Not far away, the Qin state's pillar of state, surnamed Li, had a cold expression. He wore golden armor and had a sword at his waist. He seemed extremely confident in his skills. From a distance, he drew his long sword and unleashed a blinding flash of light: "You wicked villain, prepare to die!"

He made no attempt to conceal his intentions, leaving Yun Chu'an with no choice but to fight back with all his might. He summoned his Guan Dao, unleashing lightning, and slashed at his opponent in return. But the next instant, the sword light touched his golden divine lightning, and it was utterly devastating!

The surrounding earth elemental elements all made way, and the sword light destroyed his lightning all the way, its remaining power undiminished, and struck his body head-on.

"Well--!"

In an instant, Yun Chu'an felt as if every bone in his body was broken. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string.

"Fellow Daoist Yun!"

Not far away, Gu Yu saw him being targeted by the enemy so fiercely, and felt as if her heart was being squeezed. To this day, apart from her maternal grandfather and brother, she had never worried about a man so much.

But at that moment, she felt her heart almost stop beating!

She wanted to save him, but at that moment, with her meager strength, she was utterly powerless...

Several dark lights appeared around them, and several Qin army cultivators, dressed in black armor and with cultivation levels reaching the Golden Core stage, rushed over at top speed, their faces icy cold, and quickly surrounded them.

Gu Yu cursed angrily and unleashed a spell at them. However, these regular soldiers were highly skilled, well-equipped, and coordinated perfectly. For a time, her attacks were like an ant trying to shake a tree, achieving almost no result!

In the distance, the Pillar of State surnamed Li drew his sword, unleashing another earth-shattering sword light as he charged towards Yun Chu'an. Just as Gu Yu's heart was about to be overwhelmed by despair, a child's voice suddenly rang out from afar, instantly making Gu Yu feel as if she had heard heavenly music: "Qin people, what are you doing!"

It's Su Youling's voice!

Before her voice arrived, a huge Bagua wheel suddenly appeared in front of Yun Chu'an, blocking the next pursuit of the Qin Kingdom's Nascent Soul Pillar.

After all, many cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage can already move faster than the speed of sound.

In an instant, Li, the Qin State Pillar General clad in golden armor, frowned, thinking to himself that this was troublesome.

He looked up and gazed into the distance, where he saw a female Daoist cultivator rushing towards him, her face hostile, blocking Yun Chu'an's path: "Daoist Su Youling is here slaughtering here evil cultivators. Qin people, you've killed the wrong people! They are local cultivators, not members of the Heartless Sect!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two more streaks of light shot in from afar. Yan Shuiyi and Dongfang Yue returned to their original positions and looked over. Their eyes then locked onto the Qin general surnamed Li, who was wearing golden armor, and their expressions turned hostile.

The three of them were in a bad mood. They had originally agreed that Yun Chuan would handle things here while the three of them would go after the fleeing remnants of the Ruthless Sect. Their division of labor was very clear.

Chapter 759 My Mother, the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect

However, just as they were in the middle of their pursuit, a message for help suddenly came back from Yun Chu'an's side: they had been attacked by an enemy at the Nascent Soul stage!

Thinking that there were other remnants of the Ruthless Sect hiding in the shadows, the three of them hurriedly abandoned their original plan to hunt them down, letting the tiger return to the mountain, and came back to provide reinforcements. However, what they saw was not the cultivators of the Ruthless Sect, but soldiers from the Qin Kingdom.

How could they possibly be in a good mood?

For a moment, all three girls stared at him with unfriendly expressions.

In response, Qin Junzhuguo, surnamed Li, secretly thought it was a troublesome situation. Although he had a higher cultivation level, he recognized the three female cultivators and knew that they were the pride of the Qingyun Sect and the apple of the eye of the Dao Sect.

Although they dare to do all sorts of dirty and despicable things in private, on the surface, the Central Plains, the Great Zhou, the Qin State, and these Nascent Soul Pillars of the State are all staunch members of the righteous path.

Even putting all that aside, considering the immense power of the Qingyun Sect and the Buddhist sect, he would never dare to offend them.

Fortunately, as a Nascent Soul Pillar of the State who is over a thousand years old, he has quite a lot of experience in dealing with this.

"Young friend Su, young friend Yan, I have long admired your names, they are like thunder in my ears." He began with such flattery, then continued, "You two may not know this, but recently, the Ruthless Sect has also launched a large-scale attack on cultivators of our Qin Kingdom. We have been investigating this matter for some time now. One of our pillar-level cultivators, named 'Lü Shiwei,' even sacrificed his life on the way to investigate."

"And according to our investigation..." he said, his gaze sweeping across the scene before settling on Zuo Quan and the others, "The Ruthless Cult's stronghold is located within this secret realm. What we just did was to eliminate that threat!"

Many Qin soldiers had already stopped fighting, and Gu Yu had barely managed to save her life. But upon hearing his declaration, the white rabbit demon turned pale with anger, inwardly cursing him for his shamelessness.

Su Youling frowned, and without mincing words, said, "To some extent, your judgment is correct. The Ruthless Sect is indeed here, but you've come to the wrong place..."

She wanted to say that they had just fought a great battle with them, that their leader had been killed, and that they were now hunting down the remaining members of the Ruthless Cult.

However, at this moment, the Qin State Pillar interrupted her, saying, "Young friend Su, you may not know this, but those evil cultivators of the Ruthless Sect are extremely cunning. Their specialty is to blend into the crowd and pretend to be innocent."

"Moreover, many unscrupulous cultivators already roam the edge of darkness, with unclear ties to these evil and demonic cultivators. I have a lot of evidence, but much of this information involves the internal affairs of my Qin Kingdom."

He spoke these words with a sanctimonious air, but to Zuo Qian and the others, they sounded utterly shameless: "Therefore, my Qin army will cooperate with you all to eradicate evil cultivators. However, regarding the internal affairs of my Qin dynasty, I ask all the righteous cultivators to abide by the agreement and not interfere with the normal operation of the cultivation dynasty."

His words, using rules to intimidate, left Su Youling speechless: "You..."

She couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it for a moment. Indeed, after the Central Plains were stabilized, the righteous sects divided their work and performed their respective duties: the famous sects were responsible for researching cultivation methods, spells, supernatural powers, and so on, while the cultivation dynasties were responsible for maintaining the normal operation of this continent.

For example, the construction of mountains, the maintenance of river channels, the management of coastlines, and the preservation of the earth's veins, etc., are all the complicated and trivial matters that the cultivation dynasty is responsible for.

This was an agreement between the two parties; everyone involved was upright and reasonable. Su Youling was no exception. She was young and particularly naive, and for a moment, she couldn't grasp the situation and didn't know how to refute it.

Upon seeing this, the Nascent Soul Pillar of State smirked. With his thousand years of experience, dealing with a little girl was a piece of cake.

He continued, "In that case, please, young friend Su and young friend Yan, make way and don't delay the Qin state from managing its internal affairs."

Su Youling gritted her teeth, wanting to refute, but couldn't find a more suitable reason for the moment.

But at that moment, another female voice suddenly rang out: "Wait!"

Then, a graceful figure stepped forward, blocking everyone's path. (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated.)

It's Dongfang Yue.

She stepped forward confidently, unafraid even though the person in front of her was a whole realm above her.

Because she knew that Su Youling, a woman whose mind was only focused on divination, was unreliable at this moment, and in this situation, only by betraying you herself would she be worthy of respect.

Coincidentally, as Nangong Wan's daughter and the only daughter of the Qingyun Sect Master, Dongfang Yue may not have any other skills, but she not only has great skills in using someone else's name to intimidate others, but she also has great skills in doing so!

She looked at the Li family pillar in front of her with a slightly arrogant expression, and said slowly, "Senior, you also said that you would cooperate with us to eradicate evil cultivators and prevent these evil paths from making a comeback and causing the world to return to the state of the law of the jungle."

As she spoke so eloquently, Li, the pillar of the state, stared at her, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly, his mood slightly annoyed.

Normally, he would have already stormed off. What right did a mere early-stage Golden Core cultivator have to spout such nonsense in front of him?

However, the other party was a representative of a prestigious and righteous sect, and was carrying out one of the most politically correct tasks in the entire Central Plains: to eradicate evil and demonic cultivators.

Therefore, he had no choice but to bow his head and listen. If he performed poorly in this matter and displeased any elder or even peak master behind the other party, then it wouldn't just be him who would be in trouble, but possibly the entire Qin Kingdom.

“Unfortunately, we probably arrived earlier than you all, and our investigation here is more thorough,” Dongfang Yue said. “Just now, Li Chengxiao, the leader of the Ruthless Sect, was killed by us. I think that is enough to prove something.”

"And now that you've just arrived, you're already going to ruthlessly kill our allies who are assisting our Qingyun Sect and Dao Sect in their joint operation to eliminate the evil cultivators? Is Qin Kingdom going to put its internal affairs above the righteous cause of fighting against evil and heretical paths?"

She asked this question, and then, without waiting for the Nascent Soul Pillar of State to answer, she continued, "If that's the case, then I can report this matter directly to Sect Master Nangong Wan now, and let them judge how to proceed."

She spoke so coldly, first labeling him, then threatening him. Upon hearing this, the General Li was filled with resentment. If it weren't for her status and the power she represented, he would have wanted to kill her right there and now.

However, he couldn't do that. Faced with Dongfang Yue's threat, he could only endure it and then patiently explained, "Miss Dongfang has misunderstood. Qin is absolutely a member of the righteous path and has absolutely no such intentions."

"However, this also involves Qin's internal affairs. I have a large amount of evidence that proves these people are suspected of colluding with the Ruthless Cult..."

Dongfang Yue suddenly spoke up, interrupting him: "Li Chengxiao is dead. The most urgent task now is to wipe out the remnants of his party. As for these suspicions, we can investigate them later."

"We have already made some gains. If we waste any more time here, it would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, giving those evil cultivators more time to escape. Senior Qin Jun, if you continue to stall and delay me, I have reasonable grounds to suspect that Qin Jun is covering for them and deliberately letting them escape!"

She made no mention of the other party personally, focusing entirely on the Qin army. The General Li, surnamed Li, paled in shock and exclaimed, "This is slander! The Qin army has absolutely no such intention..."

But Dongfang Yue had no intention of wasting words with him anymore. She picked up a jade tablet, infused it with spiritual power, and a faint light shone on it: "From the moment we were forced to abandon the pursuit of the remnants of the Ruthless Sect and rush back to argue with you, Qin people, you have bought them a quarter of an hour to escape. This time may very well be enough for a Golden Core cultivator to escape from the secret realm."

"Now, do you want to stay here and buy them time to escape, or take your men and go after them?"

She demanded sharply, her words leaving no room for leniency: "My mother, the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect, is listening to our conversation right now."

Chapter 760 Preparations: Facing the Mid-Nascent Soul Stage!

The eyes of the Pillar of State surnamed Li were filled with murderous intent. How dare a mere child in the early stage of the Golden Core realm order him around like this? He really had a death wish.

He really wanted to take action, but considering the other party's identity, he could only wave his hand, signaling his subordinates to scatter and hunt down those ruthless sect cultivators.

As for himself, he remained where he was, staring at Yun Chuan and the others, looking determined to achieve his goal.

Upon seeing this, Dongfang Yue raised an eyebrow: "Senior Li, don't you plan to go in person?"

Li, a pillar of state, said in a deep voice, "My men are all elite soldiers, and hunting down the remnants of the rebels is a piece of cake for me. But these people are highly suspicious, and I must keep a close eye on them myself. I must not let any of them escape."

"Once the remnants of the Ruthless Cult have been wiped out, I will naturally resume my previous investigation and take care of the internal affairs of my Qin Kingdom as well—at that time, please do not interfere."

He spoke in a grand and dignified manner, but Dongfang Yue frowned slightly, unable to come up with any good ideas for the time being.

She glanced behind her, looking in the direction of Yun Chu'an, and saw that the latter had a gloomy face, but nodded slightly to her, indicating that she didn't need to worry.

Immediately, she silently thought to herself, "This is all I can do to help you."

Then, she said coldly, "Do as you please. We were quite exhausted after killing Li Chengxiao, and our pursuit was interrupted. We need to rest for a while."
