His white robes stained with blood, he single-handedly tore apart all six cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage who had surrounded him!
At this moment, the figure in white standing tall upon the ruins—this legendary scene—was forever seared into the hearts of everyone who witnessed the battle!
A life-and-death slaughter this spectacular and legendary had not been seen in the Qingtian Domain for a thousand years!
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t even have been able to believe that such a breathtaking battle had truly happened.
That blood-stained figure and the blooming blue flames had thoroughly become Qi Ping’s signature.
The name of Lin Ya of the Qingyuan Sect was destined to resound throughout Qingtian at this very moment! And because of how stunning the battle footage was, the shock it brought might even surpass the shock once brought by the Bee Daoist—after all, in this battle, aside from spells, Qi Ping had used no other means!
At the same time, the footage of this battle was recorded by some intelligence agents on the periphery using recording stones.
Without a doubt, these images would quickly be spread far and wide.
As a terrifying battle finally came to a complete end, the Huang family of Lingxiao City—once inviolable and with connections reaching every corner—had been reduced to ruins.
Roaring flames still burned relentlessly, consuming every trace that belonged to the Huang family!
“The Huang family has finally been destroyed!”
After witnessing the fall of the Huang family, many cultivators couldn’t even suppress the excitement and emotion in their hearts—Heaven only knew how much they had wanted the Huang family dead!
The hatred in their hearts made them wish they could devour their bones and drink their blood!
Unfortunately, they were weak in strength and had no backing whatsoever. The only place they could turn to—the Qingyuan Sect—had instead brought them retaliation. The Huang family had brought them nothing but despair!
But today! The Huang family was destroyed!
Because the Huang family had many members, quite a few had chosen to flee while Qi Ping was fighting other cultivators. But as one Foundation Establishment cultivator after another was forcefully slain by Qi Ping, the remaining Huang family members, as they tried to escape outward, were all intercepted and killed by the very people they had once oppressed!
Not a single one survived!
All of this was because of that figure in white on the battlefield—Lin Ya, an inner sect disciple of the Qingyuan Sect!
Above the burning ruins of the Huang family.
“The treeman clone is ultimately a bit weak. If my true body had fought, perhaps I wouldn’t have suffered so many injuries!”
Looking at the piercing wound through his abdomen and the series of rather gruesome wounds on his body, he couldn’t help but sigh.
The battle just now had already proven his accomplishments in spells during this period. Whether it was spell attacks, spell defenses, physical body strength, or even movement techniques, he had reached a level of extraordinary mastery.
The triple-layered spirit stacked with the Transcendent Eye and the Transcendent Comprehension talent was simply terrifyingly powerful!
It was just that these six cultivators at the peak of Foundation Establishment were no pushovers either. Each one was a powerhouse who dominated their own region, a candidate for the Golden Core stage.
Not only did they have profound foundations and mastery of spells, but they also had numerous trump cards and methods—otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to wound Qi Ping to such an extent.
However, this was still because the treeman clone was relatively weak. If Qi Ping’s true body with its powerful foundation had fought, today’s battle would have been much easier.
“Still, being able to fight to this extent is already quite good! Once I absorb the Qingyuan Sect’s cultivation techniques and spell knowledge, my combat power will definitely soar again!”
“For now, I should deal with the spoils of war and get out of here first!”
Looking at the two souls in his hands, Qi Ping unhesitatingly cast the Soul Search Technique!
Amidst wave after wave of soul-shaking howls, everything within the souls of the Huang family patriarch and a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Immortal Alliance was laid bare before Qi Ping.
Among it was hidden information about the Demonic Sect, the Qingyuan Sect, the Immortal Alliance, and the Qingtian Domain.
Actually, to read so many memories with the Soul Search Technique required extremely high control over one’s own soul. It was only because Qi Ping possessed a powerful soul talent and the terrifying soul-attack talent of the Demonic Eye Realm that he could handle the Soul Search Technique with such ease!
And after reading all the memories of these two key figures, Qi Ping was finally no longer unfamiliar with the situation in the Qingtian Domain.
As for the reality and darkness these secrets brought, Qi Ping was now mentally prepared and no longer shocked. He simply recognized this reality, and at the same time gained a clearer understanding of his future path of development and plans.
“Qingtian Domain, one day it will return to normal under my control!”
This was the conviction Qi Ping set for himself!
However, just as Qi Ping solidified his conviction, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind—if he could maintain the environment of the cultivation civilization well, would he have a chance to find the opportunity to become a Civilization Druid?
Qi Ping now realized that the Druid class he currently possessed was not fixed—it was more like a special bloodline. If he gained more understanding of Druids and met certain conditions, it was entirely possible for him to awaken other Druid spells and classes.
And among these classes, the Civilization Druid was undoubtedly one of the most special and powerful.
If he could become a Druid of the cultivation civilization, its potential would be simply immeasurable.
But Qi Ping wasn’t certain he could touch upon the Civilization Druid. Fortunately, this was consistent with his direction of purging the Qingtian Domain and assisting this world from behind the scenes to become stronger. Trying and comprehending it wouldn’t do him any harm.
After searching the memories of the two souls, Qi Ping quickly took away all the storage pouches and storage rings. At the same time, he quickly located the Huang family’s hidden treasures according to the memories. After all this was done, Qi Ping swiftly left the place.
Not long after Qi Ping left, his legendary battle spread far and wide, stirring up tremendous waves. Especially those who saw the recorded footage—every one of them was shaken by the battle.
Among these waves, the most intense was naturally from the Qingyuan Sect.
Qi Ping had already been the subject of much discussion because the supreme treasure, the Heart-Questioning Mirror, had evaluated him as a “Pillar of the Sect” yet he refused to take sides. Originally, everyone thought Qi Ping would likely follow in the footsteps of a previous “Pillar” evaluator, destined for a tragic end.
And the fact that Qi Ping encountered danger while carrying out his mission only proved the inevitability of this outcome.
But when the results of this battle were relayed back, especially when the footage of the battle was sent back, almost everyone fell silent.
The name of Lin Ya of the Qingyuan Sect became legendary in a single battle!
Even Zhang Danu, who had once advised Qi Ping not to take risks, was completely dumbfounded when he saw the footage of Qi Ping’s battle.
“Was the confidence Brother Ya mentioned not about keeping himself safe, but about directly crushing all enemies?”
After leaving the Huang family of Lingxiao City and properly handling the spoils from this battle, Qi Ping did not continue on to the Black Mountain Range, the location of the third mission.
“Let’s temporarily abandon the demonic insect mission!”
After careful consideration, Qi Ping decided to terminate the mission.
His battle at the Huang family had too great an impact and could very likely attract attacks from Golden Core stage cultivators. Only by returning to the Qingyuan Sect would those people not dare to move against him openly.
If he continued with the third mission, he would likely have to reveal many things, and those things would affect his development within the Qingyuan Sect.
So rather than face unknown risks, it was better to learn whatever he could from the Qingyuan Sect first—digest what he could grasp before anything else.
“First, return to the Qingyuan Sect and use up the contribution points I’ve earned this time. Find the knowledge about establishing the Yin-Yang Foundation and condensing the Yin-Yang Golden Core as soon as possible. Then, use the black market points obtained from killing the Immortal Alliance cultivators this time to buy Yin-attribute spirit wood and Yang-attribute spirit wood to comprehend the true essence of Yin and Yang…”
