Yesterday morning, the Qin family's caravan returned to Qianchao City from Lantian County. The disciples who participated in the escort suffered heavy casualties, and Qin Yun did not know whether he was alive or dead.
This incident spread like wildfire in the Muyangdao and Qin clans. Dozens of the Keqingtang warriors who were guarding the bodyguards died, nearly half of the disciples of the Foreign Affairs Hall were lost, and most of the ten newcomers survived.
Such a large casualty loss is rare for the Qin family in recent years, but the good news is that Mu Yangdao used this to defeat Guo Shanfeng, one of the four major bandits of Yanyun, and Lin Dong of Keqingtang even fought against Guo Shanfeng.
In the duel, he made a breakthrough and stepped into the innate world.
Some people are happy and some are worried. Everyone who came back knows that Qin Yun's hope of survival is extremely slim, but Qin Mingzhu doesn't believe it and has been waiting here for the past two days.
While everyone sympathized with Qin Yun, they also secretly envied Qin Yun. Although he was dead and his soul was gone, there was such a beautiful woman who kept waiting so long that he could rest in peace.
"Sister Mingzhu, don't wait any longer, Qin Yun will not come back!"
A man in a white shirt appeared in front of Qin Mingzhu and comforted her softly: "You will only make yourself more uncomfortable if you do this."
But his concern was rewarded with Qin Mingzhu's cold and indifferent gaze.
Looking at the handsome face in front of her and the false expression of concern, Qin Mingzhu felt indescribable disgust and disgust in her heart.
She glanced at the other person, said nothing, just turned her head and looked elsewhere.
This look made the man in white shirt feel angry. The muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch, and he immediately tore off the mask of hypocrisy completely.
"Sister Mingzhu, Qin Yun was knocked off a hundred-foot cliff and fell into the river. He will definitely die!" He said bitterly: "Even if he doesn't die, he will still be beaten by me until he kneels down and begs for mercy when he comes back. So I
I advise you to give up on this idea!"
"Brother Qin Yun has his own destiny, I believe he will come back!" Qin Mingzhu said coldly: "Qin Jun, please don't call me Sister Mingzhu in the future. I don't know you that well!"
"You!" Qin Jun was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead, and he took a step closer to Qin Mingzhu with a ferocious expression.
He really couldn't figure out why Qin Mingzhu only fell in love with Qin Yun when he was firmly ahead of Qin Yun in terms of identity, status and strength.
Qin Jun really hopes that Qin Yun will not die now. Only by beating Qin Yun into the dust with his own hands can the hatred in his heart be reduced.
"Qin Jun, what do you want to do!"
A disciple who had just come out of the Foreign Affairs Hall saw this scene and rushed over to protect Qin Mingzhu.
Qin Jun was startled at first. After seeing the appearance of the visitor, he immediately sneered: "Qin Liren, who do you think you are? You deserve to talk to me?"
This disciple was Qin Liren. After that battle, he always felt strong guilt and resented his own incompetence.
In the past, Qin Liren had no confidence at all against Qin Jun, but now, he absolutely could not watch Qin Mingzhu being bullied by Qin Jun.
Even if they fight to the death, it's not in vain that Brother Qin Yun tried his best to save him! Qin Liren's right hand gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, and his joints turned white from exerting too much force.
"He is an upright descendant of the Qin family. Who are you?"
At this moment, a slightly hoarse voice suddenly came from the side
Qin Mingzhu, Qin Liren and Qin Jun were all stunned, and turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound. Hua Hua also had a gorgeous smile.
"Brother Qin Yun!"
Appearing in front of everyone, it was Qin Yun who was rumored to have died in the battle!
Qin Yun looked very haggard, his clothes were torn everywhere and stained with brown blood, as if he had just returned from the battlefield.
But his eyes were still bright, gazing at the girl tenderly.
Qin Mingzhu, who was extremely grieved and overjoyed, could not restrain her inner excitement. Regardless of the fact that she was in full view of everyone, she rushed over and threw herself into Qin Yun's arms, crying softly.
The soft words and warm embrace filled his arms. While he felt a little charming, Qin Yun felt more moved and guilty in his heart.
"Don't cry, haven't I come back?" He gently patted the girl's shoulder and comforted her: "It won't look good if you cry!"
Qin Yun really had no experience in comforting girls, but Qin Mingzhu, who was buried in his arms, smiled, quickly wiped her tears, took half a step back and separated from Qin Yun.
After all, this is Muyang Road, and there are many people watching.
"Brother Qin Yun!"
Qin Liren was even more overjoyed, his face flushed with excitement: "You're okay, just be okay, okay..."
He was a little incoherent.
Qin Yun nodded at him and turned his gaze to Qin Jun, who had a livid face on the side: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I've disappointed you!"
The pun made several of the onlookers from the Foreign Affairs Hall laugh.
They were also extremely displeased with Qin Jun, who came to the Foreign Affairs Hall to act arrogantly on the basis of his status as a disciple of the Punishment Hall, hoping that Qin Yun would teach him a lesson.
"Qin Yun, don't be too proud!" Qin Jun couldn't help but roared: "You're lucky to have saved your life this time. I'll see how you can get out of Qianchao City in two days!"
Just now he hoped that Qin Yun would not die, but now he wished that Qin Yun would go to hell immediately.
"Then give it a try!" Qin Yun smiled brightly: "I hope you are not just good at talking!"
The onlookers from the Foreign Affairs Hall laughed loudly, and Qin Jun was so angry that he almost drew his sword at Qin Yun, but in the end he did not lose his mind.
When he attacked his fellow disciples in Muyang Daoli, he, a disciple of the Punishment Hall, might have to taste the power of the Punishment Hall first.
"Wait!" Qin Jun glanced at Qin Yun with an extremely resentful look and left without looking back.
He would be humiliating himself by staying here. He secretly swore in his heart that he would teach Qin Yun an unforgettable lesson when the time came, so that Qin Yun could only crawl at his feet forever!
The news of Qin Yun's return quickly spread throughout Muyang Road as if he had wings.
When he arrived at the Yaori Building to hand over the task, Lin Dong, the deacon of the Keqing Hall, rushed over, and then Qin Wujiu, the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall, also showed up.
Lin Dong was naturally surprised that Qin Yun was safe and sound, and Qin Wujiu asked him about the escape process.
Qin Yun was already prepared for this. He said that he was knocked off a cliff and fell into a river. He was unconscious, and finally escaped death and climbed to the shore. However, he was only back now because of his serious injuries and the delay in finding a way in the mountains.
.
Qin Yun concealed the fact that he killed Guo Shanfeng.
Although this was definitely a great achievement, it was difficult for him to explain to others how he was able to kill a strong man in the Xiantian realm.
Both Lin Dong and Qin Wujiu are strong men who don't rub dirt in their eyes. It's not easy to make up lies that can deceive them.
Qin Yun absolutely did not want to reveal the secret of his great freedom of sword intent.
There was one more thing he couldn't explain.
Qin Yun accidentally discovered a piece of yellow dragon marrow jade from Guo Shanfeng's corpse, which was the key to luring Guo Shanfeng into a trap.
Guoshanfeng suffered heavy losses, but he successfully snatched the Huanglong Marrow Jade, which ultimately gave Qin Yun an advantage.
With his previous experience with the red blood marrow jade, Qin Yun successfully absorbed all the spiritual power of heaven and earth contained in the yellow dragon marrow jade, thus completely restoring his injuries and depleted body energy.
With the help of the power of marrow jade, he opened up dozens of acupuncture points connected to the internal organs in one breath, and his strength once again broke through and reached the peak of the fourth heaven, only one step away from the fifth heaven!
It is precisely because of this that no matter how great his contribution to killing Guo Shanfeng is, Qin Yun cannot tell him.
Lin Dong and Qin Wujiu didn't have the slightest doubt. In fact, even if someone told them that Qin Yun killed Shanfeng, they would never believe it.
"You did a good job..." Qin Wujiu nodded after hearing this and said, "Among the newcomers in the Foreign Affairs Hall, you are the most outstanding. This mission is completed, and you can enter the inner hall directly without taking the new promotion assessment!"
Being transferred from the outer hall to the inner hall within half a year is a great honor, and is usually only used to reward talented children in the hall or those who have made special contributions to the family.
Lin Dong explained the reason: "You destroyed the most enemies, and you also killed Guo Shanfeng's general Black Tiger. Such a reward is well deserved!"
Qin Yun's record of killing the black tiger was discovered by Lin Dong from the mouth of the horse thief prisoner. Although Qin Yun succeeded by pure luck, his credit cannot be erased.
Qin Wujiu continued: "I know that you will have a battle with Qin Jun of the Criminal Hall in two days. If you can win, don't lose the spirit of our Foreign Affairs Hall!"
"It doesn't matter even if you lose in the end, I will transfer you to the Yanjing Branch or recommend you to the Nulan Clan."
This is another real promise of benefits. Yanjing is the emperor of Yan Dynasty, and Nulan Sect is an affiliated side sect of Tiancheng Sword Sect. No matter which one you choose, you will have a good future.
However, this also shows that Qin Wujiu is not optimistic about Qin Yun's ability to defeat Qin Jun in a sword test.
"Thank you, Master, for your kindness!" Qin Yun bowed to Qin Wujiu to express his gratitude.
Although he didn't think he needed to go that far, the other party obviously made the suggestion out of good intentions.
"I heard that Qin Jun has broken through to the fifth level of Qi refining..." Lin Dong gave him a meaningful look: "Qin Yun, you must be well prepared to avoid being caught off guard!"
Although Qin Yun seemed to be in bad condition when he returned from injury, Lin Dong easily noticed that the breath-condensing technique was blessed on him.
Because this skill was taught to Qin Yun by Lin Dong.
What's interesting is that Qin Yun did not completely conceal his own strength. This makes him still at the second or third heaven level from the surface, which shows that he has worked hard on the breath gathering technique, otherwise he would not be able to achieve this level.
effect.
An idea that had been abandoned resurfaced in Lin Dong's mind, and became stronger and stronger.
Qin Yun smiled and said confidently: "I will not let you down!"
This confidence surprised Qin Wujiu on the side. He looked at Lin Dong with some suspicion, then at Qin Yun, with a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes, but in the end he didn't say anything more.
