Chapter 118 The Fruit of Sainthood
Chapter 118 The Fruit of Sainthood
People come and go outside the Three Yin Sect's headquarters. Although the Three Yin Sect is a demonic sect, it naturally cannot appear in front of everyone in the guise of a demonic sect, so it looks like an ordinary force's headquarters.
No one knew that what was hidden here was actually a demonic gate.
However, the moment Qin Wu arrived here, he sensed the difference. Compared to other places, the atmosphere here was much colder, and he could also smell a faint stench of blood. This puzzled him; even though it was a demonic sect, shouldn't the place be filled with the stench of blood?
Just then, a group of people emerged from the Three Yin Sect's encampment. These people had stern expressions, and several others were standing behind them. The group of people were all quite young, and there was even a little girl who looked no more than seven or eight years old. Upon seeing this, Qin Wu frowned, but he didn't say anything.
Zhao Longhu, standing to the side, looked rather grim. Although Qin Wu knew the Three Yin Sect was a demonic sect, he didn't know much about it, having never joined and being unaware of its activities. He wasn't particularly concerned with outward appearances, but based on what he'd heard about their methods, the Three Yin Sect was indeed extremely ruthless and not of the righteous path. This was why he naturally disliked them, and the matter of Liu Yan'er only exacerbated his negative feelings towards the sect.
However, the true nature of the Three Yin Sect remains to be seen, depending on their modus operandi. Then, the group was heard crying and shouting, "This is our territory! Why are you driving us away?"
"This is the headquarters of our Three Yin Sect. What's it to you?"
One of the Three Yin Sect disciples looked at the group and spoke, a cold glint in his eyes. "We originally came here secretly, but since you're so ungrateful, I don't think you'll leave so easily."
As they spoke, the group glanced at Qin Wu and his companions, then exchanged a look. Without any hesitation, they walked towards them.
"Who are you people?"
The member of the Three Yin Sect spoke coldly, a hint of killing intent in his eyes.
The Three Yin Sect is known for its unconventional methods; killing is commonplace, but even they have to consider the circumstances. However, the arrival of these people is not a good thing for them. They have important business to attend to and cannot afford to be easily discovered. If their presence is discovered, it will inevitably bring unnecessary trouble to the Three Yin Sect. Therefore, their sole purpose in coming is to find out Qin Wu and his group's purpose and then kill them.
Before Qin Wu could speak, Zhao Longhu said, "What does your Three Yin Sect want here? The others are one thing, but this little girl is only seven or eight years old. Are you going to kill her?"
Zhao Longhu's face turned extremely grim, because he knew perfectly well that this situation was absolutely abnormal. He had never heard of the Three Yin Sect having a base on Qiongzhou Island. This base was obviously seized through trickery and force, the details of which were self-evident. Furthermore, from the conversation among the Three Yin Sect disciples, he had already deduced that these people were originally the owners of this place, only to have it occupied by the Three Yin Sect.
Upon hearing Zhao Longhu's words, the man's expression immediately turned cold. He narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "You actually know about our Three Yin Sect?" At this moment, his killing intent surged wildly. Although he hadn't intended to let Qin Wu and Zhao Longhu go from the start, Zhao Longhu's words still made his expression darken, and his killing intent intensified. Ordinary people couldn't possibly know that the Three Yin Sect was here. Since the other party had already investigated their identities, there was no need for a peaceful resolution. So he coldly said, "The actions of our Three Yin Sect are not something you can know. But since you're already here, you'll all die together."
Without any hesitation, he charged directly at Qin Wu and Zhao Longhu. He was extremely fast and clearly very strong.
In that instant, Qin Wu suddenly attacked. Compared to the disciple of the Three Yin Sect, Qin Wu was more than twice as fast. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of him and then punched him in the chest.
With a loud bang, the Three Yin Sect disciple was sent flying backward, instantly turning into a corpse upon hitting the ground. The other Three Yin Sect disciples, witnessing this, turned extremely pale, even filled with deep fear. They never imagined Qin Wu's strength would be so formidable.
The person who made the move earlier was the strongest among them, but he was useless against Qin Wu. He was killed in one move without even having a chance to react. This was enough to prove that Qin Wu's strength was even greater than they had imagined.
Qin Wu glanced at Zhao Longhu indifferently, then grinned and said, "You go find the men, I'll do the killing. No problem, right?"
A faint hint of killing intent flashed in Qin Wu's eyes.
Although he had originally planned to kill people today, the actions of these people only intensified his murderous intent.
Zhao Longhu didn't answer, but nodded instead.
At this point, they no longer needed to know the specific identities of these individuals. The disciples of the Holy Infant Cult were indeed as he had previously known—almost all of them were cruel.
However, the last trace of lingering sadness he felt for Liu Yan'er could never be erased.
So no matter what, he had to see Liu Yan'er, find out why she did this, and find out if the days and nights they spent together were completely insignificant in her heart.
"How dare you kill someone from my Three Yin Sect!"
The three disciples of the Three Yin Sect looked grim, and their voices even became somewhat unsteady.
Knowing they were no match for Qin Wu, they hoped that the reputation of the Three Yin Sect would at least make the two men wary, which was their only chance of survival. However, Qin Wu didn't answer at all. Without hesitation, he drew his sword and charged towards them. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before them, his Tiger King Blade flashing. Although these men were weak and wouldn't hone his Tiger King Blade, it still drew blood.
Within moments, the people in front of them had all turned into corpses. Meanwhile, other disciples from the Three Yin Sect's distant stronghold noticed the situation and began to surround the area.
Those who were arrested trembled when they saw Qin Wu killing people, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.
They were just disciples of an ordinary faction, possessing no real strength. This place had always been their home, so they were unwilling to leave and wanted to retrieve some belongings. However, they were discovered by the Three Yin Sect, leading to their current predicament. Now, having thought they were doomed, they were rescued by Qin Wu, and for a moment, they didn't know what to do next.
Zhao Longhu glanced at Qin Wu, then disappeared from their sight without hesitation.
Meanwhile, the disciples of the Three Yin Sect rushed frantically towards Qin Wu.
Zhao Longhu wasn't worried about Qin Wu's safety because he knew very well that although the Three Yin Sect was quite powerful, even possessing experts at the True Qi Realm, it was ultimately a demonic sect. The biggest difference between demonic sects and other sects was that they had no bottom line; they had no limit on the number of people they recruited.
Most of these disciples of the demonic sect were actually not very strong. Let alone the True Qi Realm, most of them hadn't even reached the Mind Nourishing and Meridian Opening Realm. Under such circumstances, they had no chance of threatening Qin Wu, who was capable of fighting against someone at the True Qi Realm.
What he needed to do now was to find Liu Yan'er as soon as possible. Yu Qinwu stood there, watching the Three Yin Sect disciples rushing towards him from afar, his expression unchanged.
The moment the Three Yin Sect disciples rushed in front of Qin Wu, he used the same trick again, wielding his Tiger King Blade once more. No one could withstand a single blow from his Tiger King Blade; in an instant, blood flowed like a river on the ground.
As a result, everyone in the entire Three Yin Sect's territory was alarmed, and a large number of the sect's powerful members were alerted.
Once there was no one in front of him, Qin Wu stood there calmly.
There couldn't possibly be only this many people from the Three Yin Sect, and his ultimate goal was to attract the attention of the entire Three Yin Sect's territory.
The best way is naturally to stand here and see how many people will be attracted to him.
Those who witnessed Qin Wu's display of power looked somewhat fearful.
Everything that happened today felt like a dream to them.
They were about to die, but now they've survived, and that person is extremely powerful, seemingly intent on annihilating the Three Yin Sect members to avenge them.
Their eyes were bloodshot, and one of them suddenly spoke.
"My lord, please kill them. I know why those people came here."
"Oh?"
Qin Wu looked at the speaker with some surprise. He hadn't really cared much about these people; everyone had their own way of making a living. He had saved them, but that didn't mean he was going to be their babysitter. He hadn't expected such an unexpected surprise.
The Three Yin Sect's presence here couldn't possibly be solely for Liu Yan'er's breakthrough, proving that something else had attracted their attention. Now that they had this information, they naturally wanted to explore it. Then, they heard the man grit his teeth and speak.
"We obtained a Saintly Fruit a while ago, but we don't know why the news was leaked, which is why it attracted those people's attention?"
"What is the Tong Sheng Fruit?"
Qin Wu interrupted him and then asked.
He wasn't very familiar with the situation in Qianzhou, so naturally he didn't know the uses of these rare and precious materials. However, the fact that a single fruit could attract the attention of the Three Yin Sect, even prompting them to send a large number of people here to search for it, was enough to prove that this fruit must be extremely extraordinary.
The man continued, "The Tong Sheng Fruit contains immense energy that can accelerate one's cultivation speed and help break through bottlenecks. But most importantly, the Tong Sheng Fruit can greatly enhance one's potential, making it an extremely valuable treasure for everyone. If one can obtain a Tong Sheng Fruit, even with insufficient talent, one can break through from the Nourishing Heart and Opening Meridians Realm to the early stage of True Qi in a short period of time."
Our family already had two True Qi Realm experts, but the discovery of the Tong Sheng Fruit attracted the attention of the Three Yin Sect. Within a short time, the Three Yin Sect dispatched several powerful figures who killed all of our family's experts, leaving only a few of us who survived by sheer luck. We thought they had already left, but unexpectedly, these people have actually established a base here, searching for traces of the Tong Sheng Fruit.
His eyes were filled with resentment. The Three Yin Sect hadn't found the Tong Sheng Fruit, a priceless heirloom for their family. For the time being, lacking any talented disciples capable of consuming it, they had planned to preserve it carefully, waiting for an opportunity to use it later. However, they hadn't expected to attract the Three Yin Sect's attention, leading to their family's annihilation.
But precisely because of this, although their family was wiped out, the Tong Sheng Fruit was so well preserved that it was never discovered by the San Yin Sect.
They came here to find the Tong Sheng Fruit, but ended up trapping themselves all within the Three Yin Sect's territory. Upon receiving this news, Qin Wu laughed.
This news is fantastic! The existence of the Holy Fruit is also extremely valuable to him.
However, he didn't actually value the increased potential brought about by the Holy Fruit very much. He could roughly figure out in what form the increased potential would exist.
He now possesses multiple martial souls, and each time he unlocks a new martial soul, his power increases dramatically.
Under such circumstances, the Tong Sheng Fruit would not be of much help to him. Even if the Tong Sheng Fruit is very strong, can it be compared to a martial soul?
However, another benefit was extremely useful to him. Currently, his biggest shortage was time, but with the Tong Sheng Fruit, his cultivation speed could be significantly increased. Under these circumstances, the speed at which he could open the twelve acupoints would naturally also increase. It wouldn't be long before the people from Kunlun Ruins arrived, with Tai Xu Zi personally leading the team.
He knew very well that with his current strength, it would be difficult to play a significant role in front of the people of Kunlun Ruins. However, he was naturally unwilling to hide in the background and let the entire Tianwu Mountain face ridicule because of his existence.
Now, this sacred fruit might be of some use to him.
Let reading always be a chapter faster than others.
