Heavenly Sword Mountain contains a great Opportunity; this is something the entire Seven Martial Continent knows, but this Opportunity is only for Sword Cultivators. However, countless years have passed, and no one has obtained this Opportunity.
When Qin Chu returned from Heavenly Sword Mountain, Shangshu Tianye pulled him over for a drink. They were clinking large cups, and he didn't look for Qingyi because he wanted to test his recent training. It wasn't embarrassing to get drunk in front of Qin Chu, but it would be different in front of Qingyi.
The fact proved that Shangshu Tianye was still not good enough; he was a little better than before, but in the end, he leaned back in his chair, his tongue slurring when he spoke.
"Uncle, drinking is about mood; enough is enough," Qin Chu said, looking at Shangshu Tianye.
Shangshu Tianye shook his head. "I still need to practice. By the way, when are you officially marrying Yu'er?"
"When I Breakthrough to the sixth-tier King realm, I will officially go to the Azure Dragon Holy Clan to marry Senior Sister," Qin Chu stated his decision.
"Alright! My Shangshu Tianye's son-in-law must at least have the cultivation of a King realm," Shangshu Tianye supported Qin Chu's decision.
Staying in Vermilion Bird Mountain Villa, Qin Chu's every day was fulfilling. With the help of fire Spirit Stones, his Vermilion Bird Holy Fire also improved quickly.
One day, while Qin Chu, Shangshu Tianye, and Zhen Han were having tea, a servant came to announce that Langlang had arrived.
Hearing that Langlang had arrived, Qin Chu was very happy and immediately went to greet him, bringing him into the courtyard.
"Brother Lang, have all the matters in Holy Martial City been handled?" Qin Chu asked after inviting Langlang to sit down.
"They've been handled. Recently, another major event occurred: several strong cultivators besieged the Black Prison Master, but they were defeated by the Black Prison Master, who also killed one of them. However, I heard that the Black Prison Master seems to be injured," Langlang told Qin Chu.
Qin Chu's expression changed, and he then told Qianxun to receive Langlang while he went to Shangshu Tianye's courtyard.
"Qin Chu, what's wrong? Why do you look so bad?" Zhen Han asked, looking at Qin Chu.
"Uncle, someone besieged the Black Prison Master? And the Black Prison Master is injured?" Qin Chu asked Shangshu Tianye.
"Yes, I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd worry. It was several Venerables from the Spirit Martial Continent. We don't know when they arrived, but they clearly knew the Black Prison Master was the Soul figure of the Holy Martial Continent, so they attacked. However, they didn't gain any advantage; one of them was killed, and the other three were injured to varying degrees," Shangshu Tianye explained.
"A group of damn people, how is the old man doing now?" Qin Chu asked.
"He should be fine. He sent a message telling me and Su Mu to just guard Heavenly Sword City and not worry about other matters," Shangshu Tianye said.
"People from the Nether Martial Continent and Spirit Martial Continent have all entered our Holy Martial Continent; the current situation is very bad!" Qin Chu felt a sense of crisis.
Shangshu Tianye said nothing; he couldn't predict the overall situation now.
"Qin Chu, you should focus on Cultivating, then marry Yu'er and live your peaceful life. As for the larger situation, Holy Martial Law Enforcement is handling it, so you don't need to worry," Zhen Han told Qin Chu.
Qin Chu bowed slightly to Zhen Han and Shangshu Tianye, then exited Shangshu Tianye's courtyard.
In the following days, Qin Chu entered a state of frantic Cultivation. If his Origin Qi Cultivation couldn't improve, he would fully enhance the combat power of his sword techniques and fist techniques.
After three months of Cultivating, Qin Chu went into seclusion. With a persistent drive in his heart, Qin Chu directly charged into the sixth-tier King realm, becoming the only sixth-tier Cultivator under twenty years old in the Holy Martial Continent, which also broke the Holy Martial Continent's Cultivation record within three thousand years.
After Qin Chu successfully Broke through, Zhen Han and Qin Lingxi discussed and set the wedding date for Qin Chu and Shangshu Yu, then began preparations.
The marriage alliance of two great Holy Clans could not be kept quiet, and the news quickly spread.
Qi Qingqing, upon receiving the news, felt that Qin Chu's wedding might be her Opportunity to act.
Shang Ruoyu, who had come out of Heavenly Sword Mountain, fell silent. The man who had taken her first time was getting married, which made her a little restless. She suddenly felt that she cared about Qin Chu's life, how he was living. Continuously paying silent attention to Qin Chu during these days had caused some changes in her heart.
Qin Chu was still in seclusion Cultivating, solidifying his newly Broke through Cultivation. With the Cultivation Breakthrough, his body also underwent some changes. The size and luster of his sword bone were different from before. The sword bone was already half a foot long, standing upright in his chest, and the entire sword bone glowed with a jade-like color.
After half a month of solidifying his Cultivation, Qin Chu was pulled out by Bai Yu for some fresh air. This was Qin Lingxi's idea, as she felt Qin Chu was a bit repressed.
Qin Chu and Bai Yu went out, with Qingyi secretly following them. He was still worried about Qin Chu being attacked.
Qin Chu and Bai Yu arrived at a teahouse and ordered a pot of tea.
"Brother, you have Broke through to the King realm, which is such a joyous occasion! And you're about to marry a beautiful woman; this is a double blessing, you should be happier!" Bai Yu said, looking at Qin Chu.
"I will. My mindset has indeed been a bit problematic lately," Qin Chu nodded.
While Qin Chu and Bai Yu were talking, Shang Ruoyu, wearing a light blue silk dress and a veil, appeared in the teahouse. Today, Qi Qingqing was not following Qin Chu, so she showed herself. Because she had concealed her aura and Qingyi had never seen her, he was not alerted.
Shang Ruoyu walked directly to Qin Chu and Bai Yu's table.
Seeing Shang Ruoyu, Qin Chu's eyes showed shock, and he then told Bai Yu to wait for him outside.
Bai Yu looked at Qin Chu, then left the table.
After Bai Yu left, Shang Ruoyu sat down opposite Qin Chu.
"I thought you had left the Holy Martial Continent. You should have left. I received that letter, thank you for your reminder." Looking at Shang Ruoyu, Qin Chu said. He was sure that Shang Ruoyu's letter was a reminder. If she had intended to declare war, Shang Ruoyu would have acted long ago. With the Black Prison Master absent, no one could stop her.
"Today, Qi Qingqing didn't follow you, so I came," Shang Ruoyu said.
"What happened last time was unintentional," Qin Chu said.
"Unintentional or intentional, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you did it, but don't worry, I'm not here to demand an explanation today." Seeing Qin Chu's expression change, Shang Ruoyu shifted her tone.
"Then is there something else?" Qin Chu asked.
"Qin Chu, the Holy Martial Continent is about to fall into chaos. Come with me! I can settle some grudges with you," Shang Ruoyu said after a moment of hesitation.
"Thank you for your kindness, but my roots are in the Holy Martial Continent; I cannot leave." Qin Chu's heart trembled. He understood Shang Ruoyu's meaning.
