“Grandma Yu, is it that serious?” Qin Chu’s expression changed. Who was Shang Ruoyu? She was the true leader of the White Tiger Holy Land, the number one person in the Youwu Continent.
Grandma Yu looked at Qin Chu, “Is the beheading of a seventh-level Venerable Realm clansman a small matter? This is equivalent to shaking the Foundation of the White Tiger Holy Land. You must know that your Vermilion Bird Holy Land currently doesn’t even have a seventh-level Venerable Realm cultivator! Do you think the matter is serious or not?”
Qin Chu nodded. He knew that the matter was truly very serious. This was equivalent to the Holy Martial Continent hurting the White Tiger Holy Land.
“If Shang Ruoyu makes a move, then it won’t just be people from the White Tiger Holy Land coming to the Holy Martial Continent. People from other forces in the Youwu Continent might also follow suit. Although her arrival is aimed at the overall situation, you, as the fuse, will definitely not have a good outcome,” Grandma Yu said, looking at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu was very helpless. Originally, he felt very relaxed, but now problems had arisen again.
“Qin Chu, it’s alright. When things come up, there will always be a way to solve them,” Shang Shuyu said.
“En, I can’t just go into seclusion in the mountains and forests and act like a coward. Whatever happens, happens!” Qin Chu puffed out his chest.
During their conversation, the Pill Furnace in front of Qin Chu also produced Medicinal Pills. After refining the Medicinal Pills, Qin Chu handed them to Shang Shuyu.
Holding the Medicinal Pills refined by Qin Chu, Shang Shuyu’s Face was full of joy, because Qin Chu was truly good to her. She could feel all of this, and it was also because Qin Chu was good to her that she didn’t want Qin Chu to go to the Azure Dragon Holy Land to break off the engagement.
“Qin Chu, you’ve messed up. Do I, who protects your fiancée every day, not need Medicinal Pills?” Grandma Yu glared at Qin Chu.
Qin Chu smiled and refined two furnaces of Valley-Sustaining Pills for Grandma Yu.
“Senior Sister, I haven’t asked yet, how are Uncle and Aunt?” Qin Chu asked while refining Medicinal Pills.
Shang Shuyu shook her head, “My father has officially handed over the clan’s affairs to my Elder brother to manage. He is quite busy now. As a Holy Martial Law Enforcer, he considers the affairs of the entire continent. With the White Tiger Holy Land causing such a stir, no one can settle down.”
“They’re just a bunch of despicable things. They will pay the price for their actions,” Qin Chu cursed.
After Alchemy until the afternoon, Qin Chu took Shang Shuyu out to the streets.
Having spent a long time in Heavenly Sword City, Qin Chu was considered half a local, so he had to host Shang Shuyu.
Qin Chu was very happy with Shang Shuyu, because he had liked Shang Shuyu for a long time.
Shang Shuyu was also in high spirits. In fact, for the two of them, there had already been feelings before, and the engagement was just icing on the cake.
After staying with Qin Chu for a few days, Shang Shuyu planned to go to Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Qin Chu rushed to refine a batch of Medicinal Pills, and then accompanied Shang Shuyu to Heavenly Sword Mountain.
Upon entering Heavenly Sword Mountain, Qin Chu discovered that not only had he made great progress, but Shang Shuyu had as well. Shang Shuyu’s Sword Intent had also entered the sixth level, and she Cultivated in the same area as Qin Chu.
After separating a little distance from Shang Shuyu, Qin Chu began to Cultivate Battle Intent. He wanted to temper his Battle Intent.
While Qin Chu and Shang Shuyu were Cultivating, the traces of the White Tiger Holy Land disappeared again. No matter how much they investigated, they couldn’t find anything.
Ling Wu, the City Lord of Holy Martial City, made a judgment: a force had taken in the White Tiger Holy Land. Otherwise, the people of the White Tiger Holy Land could not have vanished without a trace. No matter where they went, intelligence would be transmitted. Now that no intelligence was being transmitted, it meant that someone had deliberately hidden their whereabouts.
It was still unclear which force had taken in the White Tiger Holy Land. The Holy Martial City Lord’s Mansion, Demon Castle, and the Alchemist Guild’s informants had all been sent out. As long as the White Tiger Holy Land made a move, it would not be hidden.
In a canyon not far from the side of Xuanwu Holy Mountain, many people had gathered. There were two groups: one was the White Tiger Holy Land people led by the Third Elder of the White Tiger Holy Land, and the other was the Xuanwu Holy Land people led by Zhen Beixuan.
“Thank you, Clan Chief Zhen, for taking us in. My White Tiger Holy Land will remember this favor. When the Xuanwu Holy Land wants to develop in the Youwu Continent, there will definitely be a place for you,” the Third Elder of the White Tiger Holy Land said.
“Elder Zhenghan, you all stay here for now. If you need anything, just inform me. As for the news, I have completely sealed it off, it’s absolutely safe!” Zhen Beixuan nodded to the Third Elder. He had learned about the Third Elder of the White Tiger Holy Land. Shang Zhenghan, the Third Elder of the White Tiger Holy Land, was a powerful figure in the White Tiger Holy Land. Shang Ruoyu would give Face to matters decided by Shang Zhenghan, and his promises were equivalent to the White Tiger Holy Land’s promises.
Some time ago, Shang Tianhua sent people to contact Zhen Beixuan, and Zhen Beixuan agreed to form an alliance. He found that Shang Tianye was a Holy Martial Law Enforcer, and knew that without uniting with the White Tiger Holy Land, he could not bring down Shang Tianye and could not get revenge, so he joined forces with the White Tiger Holy Land.
It was precisely because of the Xuanwu Holy Land’s protection that there was no news of the White Tiger Holy Land on the Holy Martial Continent. This blame was taken by the Blazing Thunder Holy Land, and the Holy Martial Law Enforcer was closely monitoring the Blazing Thunder Holy Land.
Qin Chu didn’t know these things. In his heart, the Xuanwu Holy Land was very shameless and cowardly, but he didn’t think that the Xuanwu Holy Land would betray the Holy Martial Continent for personal revenge.
Every day, he diligently tempered his Battle Intent. Qin Chu’s Battle Intent improved very quickly. Shang Shuyu was the same. She had used Sword Intent Grass, so her comprehension of Sword Intent was strong. Under the tempering of Sword Intent in Heavenly Sword Mountain, her Sword Intent was constantly improving.
After Cultivating for a month, Qin Chu and Shang Shuyu returned to Heavenly Sword City, both planning to Breakthrough.
Qin Chu had Cultivated for three months, and his cultivation had reached the Peak of the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm. He could no longer improve without a Breakthrough; Shang Shuyu was the same. Her cultivation was at the Peak of the sixth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, and now she was going to Breakthrough to the seventh level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, moving towards the Late Stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm.
At the Vermilion Bird Holy Land’s stronghold, with Grandma Yu guarding it, Qin Chu and Shang Shuyu entered secluded Cultivation with peace of mind. After more than two days, they both emerged from seclusion, having successfully achieved a Breakthrough.
After the Breakthrough, Shang Shuyu suggested visiting the Vermilion Bird Holy Land. She had not yet officially visited the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, and out of courtesy, she should also pay her respects to Qin Longhan and Qin Lingxi and others.
Hearing Shang Shuyu’s words, Qin Chu’s heart also stirred. After the Vermilion Bird Holy Land was rebuilt, he had not yet returned to see it. He should go back and see it. It was the place where he was born, and the place where his parents once lived.
Hearing that Qin Chu was going back to the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, Langlang and Qianxun also planned to go and see. Qin Chu naturally would not refuse this.
After hiring a beast carriage, the group set off towards the Vermilion Bird Holy Land.
Qin Chu wanted to return to the Vermilion Bird Holy Land to see it because there was another matter to deal with. It was about the Vermilion Bird Stone. Qin Chu knew that the Vermilion Bird Stone was a fire-attributed treasure and would be very helpful to the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire, but he dared not use it indiscriminately. What if the Vermilion Bird Stone was very important to the Vermilion Bird Holy Land? Wouldn’t he be deeply sinful then? If it wasn’t important, then he would use it to Cultivate the Vermilion Bird Holy Fire.
