Qin Mingyue!
Back then, after Hou Muxian’s wedding at the Hou Family, Hou Muling set up a trap to kill He Pingsheng and Cheng Siyu.
The two Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples she brought at that Time were Changping Daoist, who was killed by He Pingsheng, and the other was this Qin Mingyue.
After Qin Mingyue killed Cheng Siyu, she fled in a panic, and He Pingsheng didn't expect her to have run to Dingxiang City.
Boom…
He Pingsheng didn’t stand on ceremony. His powerful Divine Thought immediately swept towards Qin Mingyue.
Qin Mingyue’s cultivation was also revealed: Foundation Establishment Stage First Layer.
When they set up the trap at the Hou Family, her cultivation was already Foundation Establishment Stage First Layer, and he didn’t expect that after so many years, her cultivation had not advanced an inch.
It still remained at the first layer.
On the opposite side, after Qin Mingyue saw He Pingsheng, she was also startled, and then swept her Divine Thought towards He Pingsheng.
This sweep was no big deal, but Qin Mingyue was so frightened that she almost lost her soul.
She actually couldn’t perceive He Pingsheng’s cultivation.
There was only one possibility: the other party's cultivation had already surpassed her.
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
How is this possible?
Only eight years had passed since their last life-and-death struggle.
It’s been eight years, I haven't made any progress, but you, damn it, went from Qi Refinement Stage Eleventh Level to a level that even I need to look up to?
When Qin Mingyue thought of this, her whole body trembled.
One must know that even when He Pingsheng was at the eleventh level, she couldn't defeat him. Now that his cultivation surpassed her, how could she fight?
The key was that the two of them had a life-and-death feud.
“He… Fellow Daoist He…” Qin Mingyue stammered, “I think, the misunderstanding between us… us… us should be resolvable, right?”
“You know each other?” Xuan Yuan Chang Geng’s eyes narrowed.
“Yes, Brother Xuan Yuan!” Qin Mingyue’s face was a little pale. She said, “About a few years ago, Fellow Daoist He and I had some unfriendly misunderstandings. I hope Fellow Daoist Xuan Yuan can mediate, and I am willing to pay some price to resolve the misunderstanding!”
“This…” Xuan Yuan Chang Geng looked at He Pingsheng and said, “Fellow Daoist He… this…”
He Pingsheng’s expression was indifferent. He said, “Fellow Daoist Xuan Yuan, back then, when I was in the Qi Refinement Stage, this woman used a trap to plot and try to kill me!”
“If it weren't for my life-and-death struggle, relying on a few Talismans on me to survive, I would have been buried in the wilderness long ago!”
“This woman didn’t kill me at the Time, but she killed my Senior Sister!”
Speaking of this, He Pingsheng sneered as he looked at Xuan Yuan Chang Geng: “Fellow Daoist Xuan Yuan, how do you plan to mediate?”
Xuan Yuan Chang Geng looked at Qin Mingyue with an almost idiotic gaze and said, “Fellow Daoist Qin, is this what you call a misunderstanding?”
Misunderstanding?
You’ve already killed someone, and it’s still a misunderstanding?
“This…” Qin Mingyue said, “The matter is quite complex, and the rights and wrongs cannot be explained clearly in a short Time. Fellow Daoist He, you should understand that at that Time, I was just a pawn being used by others!”
“Besides, this Time we still need to work together to obtain the Mist Divinity Flower. If unpleasantness occurs now, won’t this trip be delayed?”
She quickly tied her life to the trip, hoping to gain Xuan Yuan Chang Geng’s support.
Indeed, Xuan Yuan Chang Geng nodded and said, “That’s right… It would be unfavorable if a conflict arises now. As for your matter, let’s resolve it after we obtain the Mist Divinity Flower!”
“Fellow Daoist He, it’s better to resolve enmities than to deepen them!” Qin Mingyue quickly added, “Actually, we weren’t targeting you back then, but rather your Senior Sister, Cheng Siyu!”
“I never harbored any killing intent towards you!”
“Do you think this is acceptable? After this trip, my share of the items will be yours, and furthermore… all the items in my Storage Pouch will also belong to you!” Qin Mingyue gritted her teeth, feeling a pang of heartache: “I only ask to eliminate this misunderstanding, is that okay?”
Holy crap…
Before He Pingsheng could speak, the two people beside Qin Mingyue simultaneously raised their eyebrows.
She was giving too much.
Not only did she give away her share from this trip, but she also gave away all her possessions.
Was it necessary?
He was only at Foundation Establishment Stage Second Layer, and you are at Foundation Establishment Stage First Layer.
Even if you can’t win, you won’t necessarily be killed.
“Hehe…” One of the hunched Old Man smiled and said, “What is Junior Sister Qin doing? That’s too much…”
“This Old Man is not greedy, give me half of your things, and I’ll help you resolve this…”
The hunched Old Man hadn't finished his sentence when He Pingsheng suddenly moved.
He suddenly unfurled a large black banner in his hand and attacked Qin Mingyue with a boom.
At the same Time, a golden figure landed on the ground with a bang, blocking behind him.
As long as anyone dared to interfere, this golden figure would attack.
This was to guard against Xuan Yuan and the other three.
Qin Mingyue was not foolish; she had long been prepared for He Pingsheng’s attack, so when He Pingsheng unleashed this strike, Qin Mingyue also suddenly unfurled a circular silver shield.
Bang…
The large banner slammed onto the silver shield.
The shield was directly shattered.
However, as the shield’s defense shattered, Qin Mingyue also took the opportunity to leap up, about to leave on her Flying Sword.
He Pingsheng smiled coldly.
Puff, puff, puff…
On the surrounding ground, dozens of emerald green thorns instantly shot out at an unparalleled speed, then tightly wrapped around Qin Mingyue’s legs.
It was simply impossible to fly away.
“Damn it…”
Seeing that she couldn’t leave, Qin Mingyue swung her leveled Flying Sword, fiercely hacking at the thorns binding her body.
The thorns could naturally be cut, there was no problem with that.
However, after being cut, even more thorns emerged from the ground.
“Fellow Daoist He… I was wrong… I was wrong… Spare me!”
“It wasn’t me who wanted to kill you back then, it was the Hou Family, it was our Young Miss… Wuwuwu…”
As Qin Mingyue begged for mercy, she felt a dizzy spell, and then after a few breaths, she fell to the ground with a thud.
He Pingsheng waved his hand, and countless thorns transformed back into wood Qi, flowing into his body.
The golden Yellow Turban Warrior was also recalled.
Qin Mingyue, dead!
The other three behind him watched, dumbfounded.
Too strong!
Although one was at Foundation Establishment Stage First Layer and the other at Foundation Establishment Stage Second Layer, in reality, generally speaking, a difference of one level doesn't mean a huge difference in combat power.
But now, the other party hadn't even used their full strength and had easily instantly killed her.
It wasn’t that Qin Mingyue was too weak, but that this abnormal person was too strong.
The hunched Old Man who had just spoken disrespectfully now wished he could bury his face in the ground.
He Pingsheng waved his hand, and Qin Mingyue’s Flying Sword and a Storage Pouch fell into his hands.
“Everyone, my apologies!” He Pingsheng cupped his hands towards the three: “This person and I have an irreconcilable life-and-death feud, so I couldn’t wait to kill her. As for the effort she was supposed to contribute, I will serve as the combat power supplement!”
“Fellow Daoist Xuan Yuan, is that acceptable?”
He Pingsheng looked earnestly at Xuan Yuan Chang Geng.
Xuan Yuan Chang Geng nodded and said, “Good, of course it is!”
“With Fellow Daoist He’s skill, this trip will certainly be much smoother!”
