Chapter 586: Chapter 246: Could It Be My Mother-in-law?
"Senior Sister Wei, Su, Iâll leave these people to you!"
"Huang, deal with that Gudiao!"
"Junior Sister Xu, Junior Sister Zhou, take good care of Senior Sister Suxin and Little Hammer!"
"Wife, take good care of Junior Brother Lan."
Qin Gengyun laughed heartily and shouted commands.
Wei Wan responded with a hum, the Qingbo Sword rippled out and rushed at the group of Celestial Fall Sect disciples.
Liu Su pouted and followed behind them, ready to clean up.
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden screeched, and charged at the Gudiao.
Zhou LingâEr and Xu Caiheâs faces of eager anticipation turned to disappointment: "Why canât we join the fight?"
Qiu Zhihe cradled Mo Xiaolan in her arms and glanced at Qin Gengyun:
"This Qiongqi is Elder Zuoqiu of Celestial Fall Sect. His strength is lacking, but heâs inherently cunning, be careful."
She was quite weak now, needing several days to fully recover, and couldnât take action herself.
"Donât worry, my wife!"
Qin Gengyun smiled at her, bringing his fists together with a boom.
His muscles swelled even more, golden flames igniting around his body.
Zuoqiuâs beast eyes turned, looking at Qiu Zhihe with surprise: "How do you know me? And, how do you know about the Gudiaoâs hidden superpowers?"
Qiu Zhihe remained calm, gently placing Mo Xiaolan on the ground.
Only then did Zuoqiu notice Mo Xiaolan, his eyes bulging out suddenly.
Isnât this the fake man who stabbed his belly!
These people, one familiar with Celestial Fall Sect, another unafraid of the Celestial Beast Recordâs devouring.
"Who exactly are you people?!"
As he thought this, the burly man in front rushed over with a stomp, furious, attempting to collide with him:
"A mere Golden Core Realm dares to ... what?!"
Suddenly, a strange light flashed across Qin Gengyunâs eyes, and Zuoqiu felt his body stiffen, an extremely cold aura invaded his body.
His actions paused for a moment instantly.
"What kind of demon technique is this?!"
Zuoqiu was shocked.
At this moment, Qin Gengyunâs massive fist swung over, struck his face, deforming his beast face, sending two front teeth flying from his mouth.
That wasnât all; the Divine Phoenix Flame also stuck to Zuoqiuâs fur, the intense burning pain made him gnash his teeth:
"Damn it, did the Celestial Phoenix Maiden really give it to you? Sect Leader threatened her so much, and she refused, but why did she give it to you?!"
The Phoenix raged, abandoning the Celestial Fall Sect disciples, and flapped its wings towards the Qiongqi!
Qiongqi was struggling against Qin Gengyun, and was caught off guard by the Phoenixâs sneak attack, which gouged out his eye, making him scream in agony:
"Damn it, you ill-mannered bird!"
He was filled with anger and frustration, not knowing how he offended this inexplicable Phoenix.
His old wounds hadnât healed, his power halved, not necessarily a match for the man one-on-one.
All he could do was escape.
Zuoqiuâs remaining beast eye spun around, suddenly shouting:
"Brothers, donât panic, Sect Leader has sent a squad to support us, theyâll be here soon! Today, we fight to the death and slaughter the hypocritical Righteous Path!"
The ten or so Celestial Fall Sect disciples, upon hearing this, were immediately abuzz with high-spirited shouts:
"Fight to the death, slaughter the hypocritical Righteous Path!"
"Fight to the death, slaughter the hypocritical Righteous Path!"
Zuoqiu sneered inwardly, intending to take the chance to slip away, but saw his subordinates shouting slogans while frantically fleeing.
The louder the slogans, the faster the escape.
In just a moment, those guys had vanished without a trace, one shouted back with some remaining conscience:
"Take care, Elder Zuo, we will remember you!"
"Oh hell!!"
Zuoqiuâs beast eyes widened, utterly incredulous, yet he saw enemies already encircling him.
"Ah! I am unwilling!"
"So close, just a little more and I could become a real Ancient Divine Beast!"
"Sect Leader, Sect Leader, you must avenge me!"
...
Soon, the dense forest returned to silence.
A massive beast, its body in pieces, lay dead on the ground, eyes wide in death.
Qin Gengyun looked down at his own body, not with joy, but rather with a sense of doubt.
During the battle with Qiongqi, he suddenly felt a strange power erupt from his eyes, momentarily freezing the giant demonic beast.
But the power felt unfamiliar, seemingly not his own.
Qin Gengyun was taken aback.
Could it be the mother-in-law?
Qiu Zhihe had been watching Qin Gengyun closely, naturally noticing his earlier peculiarity, she softly approached:
"Husband, whatâs wrong?"
Qin Gengyun glanced around, Xu Caihe and Zhou LingâEr were giving Spirit Pills to Suxin and Little Hammer for detoxification, Wei Wan stood silently aside, and he quietly said to Qiu Zhihe:
"Weâll talk tonight ... I have many questions for you."
Qiu Zhihe paused but saw her husbandâs deep gaze, tinged with scrutiny and teasing, and she suddenly stiffened.
Cyan Lotus Mountain had unveiled too much, her secrets seemed increasingly hard to conceal.
Perhaps, her husband had already guessed?
Qiu Zhihe twisted the hem of her clothes, head down, like a nervous young girl.
Elsewhere, Suxin swallowed the detoxifying Spirit Pill, her sealed cultivation restored, she looked at Xu Caihe:
"Junior Sister Xu, why have you returned? Junior Brother Chun and the others ... are they truly gone?"
Xu Caihe and Zhou LingâEr exchanged a glance and eventually shared the truth.
It turned out that shortly after everyone left, Qiu Zhihe revealed that the Gudiao had hidden superpowers to cover its tracks, she suggested quietly returning to catch them.
But Zhang Zheng, Chen Yunfeng, and Chun Ningzhi disagreed, they had lost their courage due to numerous setbacks with Demon Sect, encounters with ghosts, and losing fellow disciples.
The others were equally fearful, seeing the Commanding Disciples unwilling to take further risks, naturally following suit.
Ultimately it was decided, only He Zhiqiu, Ruo Mei, He Su, Lan Yin, Wei Wan, Xu Caihe, and Zhou LingâEr chose to return for Suxin.
Of course, Xu Caihe and Zhou LingâEr were unaware that, during the debate, Qiu Zhihe secretly transmitted to Jian Yue, telling her to return to Zhenyang Sect first.
This time, with Qin Gengyunâs group exposed somewhat, and Cheng Qingyu relentless, Jian Yue went first to probe the situation, to understand Zhenyang Sectâs stance before responding effectively.
After hearing Xu Caiheâs explanation, Suxin was silent for a moment, then she lifted her gaze with a smile:
"Thank you, Junior Brothers and Sisters, I owe you my life and I will remember that."
She then glanced at Ruo Mei and Mo Xiaolan, her eyes complex but refraining from revealing their identities.
"Hey!"
At this moment, Little Hammer walked up to Suxin, looking up at her:
"Youâre real trouble, making me owe you, Iâll let you call me sister from now on."
Suxin smiled, patting Little Hammerâs head: "Alright, Little Hammer Sister, will you call me Sister then?"
"Ow ow!" Little Hammer, frustrated at being patted, barked like a dog, baring teeth, she saw Suxinâs gentle smile, pouting:
"Sis ... Sister."
"Good, good, Sister." Suxin crouched down and suddenly hugged Little Hammer.
During this South Demon journey, she lost bonds with her peers but gained a sister.
Not entirely a loss.
Little Hammer, hugged, blushed deeply: "What are you doing? Oh no, Su Hongling is coming out ... Sister, find me again next time!"
Little Hammer finished speaking and fainted, her body slowly grew taller, transforming from a little girl to a tall and elegant figure, with one thing unchanged â the dull, flat plain.
In the next moment, Su Hongling opened her eyes.
