Chapter 226: His Reputation Preceded Him
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
The middle-aged man’s heart palpitated.
Years ago, he was one of the Black Turtle Palace disciples that watched the battle in which Qin Yun killed Azure Wing Demon King! However, he was only an ordinary Connate True Core realm cultivator at the ti. He wasn’t even an Azure-token Inspector Heavenly Ambassador. He lacked the ability to grasp how profound and terrifying Qin Yun’s flying sword arts were. He reached the Connate Golden Core realm two years after he obtained the jade bottle.
When he used fiendcelestial thods, his combat strength could match those at the Paramount realm. Coupled with the many amazing techniques the jade bottle was capable of, he led a high and mighty life in an invincible manner.
Now, the jade bottle was telling him ’hide as far away from him as possible! Don’t go courting death!’ It truly chilled his heart.
"That’s right. Jade Bottle isn’t omnipotent."
"Leave quickly." The middle-aged man left behind so silver and imdiate cast a Divine Concealnt Spell before leaving the tea restaurant.
He quickly departed the area.
The middle-aged man said disgruntledly, "I have to destroy the Xin family. Even if Qin Yun is here, I still want them destroyed. Jade Bottle, do you have any solutions?"
"Sigh, what’s most important for you now is to leave Yanglai County and hide far away," persuaded Jade Bottle.
"Do you have any solutions?" pressed the middle-aged man.
"If you are bent on tornting the Xin family to death, let’s do it this way. Once Qin Yun cos within fifteen hundred ters of us, I’ll be able to sense him! You have to maintain a distance of at least fifteen hundred ters from him at all tis," said Jade Bottle. "Once I sense him, you have to imdiately distance yourself."
"Alright." The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up.
"Seriously..."
The Jade Bottle secretly grumbled. "In the past, that mantis demon was too cautious. He was extrely wary of . This human cultivator is easy to influence but he is inclined towards insanity. While being trapped in this bottle, I’m at my weakest. It’s during this ti when I should keep a low profile the most."
There were benefits to his flaws. As the middle-aged man was inclined to taking insane risks, he was easily influenced by Jade Bottle. Jade Bottle gained many benefits from this dynamic and expedited its escape from the bottle.
"I have been sealed since ancient tis. Thankfully, the seal has been gradually wearing out and, with external help, I have accelerated the damage. It won’t be too much longer before I can escape." Jade Bottle anticipated the mont. "But for now, I still have to make use of him."
...
Yanglai County City.
Qin Yun had traveled all the main streets of the city and probed with his sword intent domain carefully; yet, he did not discover the great fiendish demon. Instead, he saw so Xin family clansn that went insane in the face of death. There were two that were lost in hysteria like Xin Cheng. They acted in an unbridled manner and had caused the deaths of many. Qin Yun naturally killed the two of them in passing.
"I didn’t find it." Qin Yun frowned slightly and shook his head gently. "I’ll first go to the Xin family to take a look. It clearly has the strength to severely injure Yin Lihuo, making it capable of wiping out the entire Xin family. But it hasn’t done so. Instead, it kills up to a hundred clansn a day. It is slowly killing them... making this a deliberate attempt to tornt the Xin family. It would not have done so unless there is so huge vendetta."
Qin Yun pondered over the matter as he headed for the Xin family manor.
As for the Xin family, it received Xin Cheng’s corpse.
"Young Master Cheng is dead too?" The clansn were alard.
"Cheng’er."
Xin Zhen and company were in the front yard when they saw the corpse being carried in. Once it was discovered to be Xin Cheng’s corpse, a senior from the clan rushed over. Even the family head, Xin Zhen, rushed over since Xin Cheng was his grandson.
"This is..."
"He isn’t sucked dry of his flesh and blood."
The clansn were all astonished.
Xin Zhen was appalled too. Yin Liehuo had co to investigate the matter with his junior brother.
"What happened? Who killed Cheng’er?" Xin Zhen imdiately looked at the guards that brought the corpse back.
"It was sword Qi. The killer is likely an expert that has knocked open the gate of immortality, very possibly a Connate realm cultivator." A clansman made the judgnt imdiately.
"What lawlessness! A great fiendish demon is secretly killing my Xin family clansn and now there’s soone else sneaking an attack on us? Do they really think our Xin family is that easily bullied?" roared a clansman angrily.
They were forced to endure the mysterious great fiendish demon, but now there were others that had their sights on the Xin family?
"Grandfather, Brother was killed by a Purple-token Inspector Heavenly Ambassador," said the white-robed youth imdiately.
Purple-token Inspector Heavenly Ambassador?
There was imdiate silence.
Instead, Yin Liehuo’s eyes lit up. He imdiately, asked, "Which Inspector Heavenly Ambassador is it?"
The white-robed youth said under his breath, "He said his na is Qin Yun. He also said he would co to see our Xin family in a while. He wants to have a chat regarding my brother’s defiling of dozens of innocent ladies in the recent days."
"Qin Yun?" Xin Zhen revealed a look of delight. "My Xin family is saved! It’s saved!"
"It’s Qin Yun? The number one sword immortal in the world, Qin Yun?"
"Grand Dominance County’s Qin Yun is supposedly invincible. All the great fiendish demons in the world went into hiding because of him."
"He is here in Yanglai County?"
"The Xin family is saved."
All the clan elders were feeling extrely excited.
His reputation preceded him.
Ordinary people might not know much about Qin Yun but any sizable family clan in the world with a good news network would know of the number one sword immortal in the world, Qin Yun! All the great fiendish demons in the world were hiding because of this terrifying sword immortal. It was said that his strength was the greatest in the world.
"Sword Immortal Qin is here." Yin Lihuo smiled. "Since Sword Immortal Qin is here, there is nothing for your Xin family to worry anymore."
Xin Zhen nodded imdiately.
The talk of the world was that Sword Immortal Qin Yun was the strongest in the world!
However, the family head of the Xin family, Xin Zhen, as well as experts like Yin Lihuo, knew very well that it was an exaggeration! The truth was that Qin Yun was considered invincible only beneath immortals and fiendcelestials! The Sacred Reverend Dharvana from Mahākāśyapa Monastery, who had stepped into the Dao as well, was likely comparable to Qin Yun. However, Qin Yun was capable of killing his enemies with his flying sword a thousand kiloters away, so the fear he struck into the hearts of demons was naturally greater than that of Sacred Reverend Dharvana.
Which great fiendish demon would not shudder in fear of the thought of being pursued by a flying sword for a thousand kiloters?
"Sword Immortal Qin will be here later. He abhors evil and will not tolerate evil people." Yin Lihuo shot a glance at Xin Zhen and said, "Your Xin family has probably treated the lives of others with utter disregard in recent days, isn’t that so?"
"Sigh."
Xin Zhen imdiately whispered, "In the past, those juniors did not dare act in such an unbridled fashion. Or if they did, they would do it in secret, afraid that the family might discover it! But now, with up to a hundred clansn dying every day... it’s true that so clansn have gone crazy. They act without fear and do whatever they want."
"Discuss this with Sword Immortal Qin in a while," said Yin Lihuo indifferently.
...
Xin Zhen and the upper echelons of the family, as well as many clansn, were waiting by the entrance.
Before Qin Yun arrived, the corpses of another two Xin family mbers were brought back. They were people who had utterly disregarded the lives of others. It left the Xin family mbers very perturbed.
"These bunch of good-for-nothings! I hope they did not infuriate Sword Immortal Qin."
"What should we do if Sword Immortal Qin does not help the Xin family because of this?"
"They are a bunch of good-for-nothings. The rest of the clansn are innocent."
Everyone discussed fervently. They were feeling quite uneasy.
The Xin family had prospered for more than a hundred years. It went from an ordinary family clan with dozens of people to a large family clan with thousands of clansn! These days, although hundreds had died, more than half of them remained alive! They had a strong desire to continue living.
Finally, on the streets a distance away, a blue-robed man could be seen walking over.
As the blue-robed man walked over, his body turned into a blur with each step as he traversed hundreds of feet. In just a few steps, he was at the Xin family’s entrance.
"Daoist Qin." Yin Lihuo imdiately bowed and greeted warmly.
"Sword Immortal Qin, I greet you on behalf of the Xin family." Xin Zhen led by kneeling down. Imdiately, a large group of people behind him knelt down. At that mont, only Yin Lihuo and his junior brother were still standing.
Qin Yun looked at all the kneeling Xin family mbers before he said with a frown. "Arise, all of you."
"Daoist Yin." Qin Yun looked at Yin Lihuo and nodded slightly.
Only then did all the mbers of the Xin family stand up.
"Sword Immortal Qin, I humbly stand before you as Xin Zhen. I am in charge of the Xin family’s daily affairs." Xin Zhen was sowhat terrified. After all, the number one sword immortal in the world was a very famous accolade. Even Patriarch Xin was far from comparable to the person in front of him. Besides, the person in front of him could save his entire family. "Over the past few days, my Xin family has been pushed to the brink of destruction. Amid this calamity, so of the family mbers have gone insane and treated the lives of others with utter disregard. My Xin family is truly ashad. We have let down our fellow townsfolk. It further shas my Xin family that Sword Immortal Qin had to rid them on our behalf. Sword Immortal Qin, do not worry. The victimized townsfolk will definitely be compensated by my Xin family. Any clansman that harms others and commits cris will be severely punished. Not one of them will be spared!"
"Alright. Those that were hard will be compensated. Those that did evil are not to be spared. I heard that very clearly," said Qin Yun indifferently. "I will get the Inspector Heavenly Alliance to watch your Xin family."
"Yes, yes, yes." Xin Zhen began sweating from his forehead.
When he heard what Qin Yun said, he imdiately made the decision to be more ruthless towards his clansn.
"Alright."
Qin Yun nodded.
Although he had killed three mbers of the Xin family that had committed atrocities, it was a large family clan with more than a thousand people. Black sheep were unavoidable. But there were also good people in the family clan who were innocent. For example, Qin Yun had a good impression of the white-robed youth that had stopped Xin Cheng. Secondly, there was a mysterious great fiendish demon behind all of this! Qin Yun would not spare any great fiendish demon.
"Daoist Qin, let’s talk inside," said Yin Lihuo with a smile. He felt relieved seeing Qin Yun here. No Connate Golden Core cultivator from the Primordial Chaos Sect at present was Qin Yun’s match.
"I just arrived in Yanglai County and am unaware of many matters. Daoist Yin, you have made contact with that great fiendish demon so you should know quite a lot." Qin Yun smiled and nodded. He entered together with Yin Lihuo.
The clan elders of the Xin family imdiately followed and awaited instructions.
