“Pah!” He Lan Yun spat on Chou Zi Fei’s corpse, still feeling as if it wasn’t enough to vent her hatred.
“Aiyaya, Niu still wanted to leave this bastard to Ling Han, and now he’s killed!” Hu Niu sighed, but then was pleased again. “Whatever, whatever, Ling Han wouldn’t mind such a small thing.”
Ceng Jian Seng and the others all shivered in fright. Although they didn’t act, they still participated in the coercion, clarifying their stance; now that the hostage was lost, what were they to do?
“You guys die on your own, or should Niu do it?” Hu Niu crossed her arms in front of her chest, and stared coldly at the four people.
Ceng Jian Seng and the other three completely lost the will to fight; the strength of the two sides was not on the same level at all. They shouted loudly one after another, “Young Master Hu, save us! Save us!”
Qin Lian Yue, Can Ye, and the others were stunned. These four people were actually shameless enough to beg Hu Qing Fang for help; this truly pushed the word “shameless” to new heights.
Hu Qing Fang also seemed to have found it unexpected. He couldn’t help but laugh and applaud them. “Laughable, laughable, truly laughable! But, since you guys don’t have the hostage in your hands anymore, then what use are you guys to this young master?”
Ceng Jian Seng and the other three were all in despair, and looked towards He Lan Yun, hoping she’d plead on their behalf.
He Lan Yun’s face even turned pale in anger. These four people had the nerve? She turned away and didn’t take another glance at them.
“These people… I’ll kill them. It’s not worth dirtying Lord Niu Niu’s hands!” Can Ye brandished his sword and charged out. His fury was great, and his killing intent was burning.
Ceng Jian Seng’s and the other three were no match for Can Ye to begin with, let alone now that they’ve lost their will to fight. In a few moves, they were all killed by Can Ye.
“Wu!” He Lan Yun finally cried out, throwing herself into Can Ye’s arms.
Can Ye was obviously startled, not knowing how to react. After being startled momentarily, he finally knew to put away his saber and wrap his arms around He Lan Yun’s shoulders, patting lightly as if to coax a child.
“Idiot!”
“Fool!”
Qin Lian Yue and Zhu Xuan Er remarked.
On the other side, Ling Han and Duan Ming Da’s battle was drawing to an end because Ling Han unleashed the Demon Birth Sword.
He was the most skilled in sword techniques, and as the treasured sword was brandished by him, 29 flashes of Qi were raised, reaching the limit of Qi.
How could Duan Ming Da rival such might?
“T-twenty-nine flashes of Sword Qi!” Qin Lian Yue’s beautiful eyes burned brightly as if she’d discovered a new world.
Zhu Xuan Er took it all in, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly—one more person she needed to be careful about!
Hu Qing Fang’s face turned pale. He never would’ve thought failure was still unavoidable even after enlisting the help of a peak stage Spiritual Infant Tier expert. He hurriedly hid in the carriage, urging the four beautiful women to drive it away. He didn’t care whether Duan Ming Da was dead or alive, for obviously running away to protect his own life was more important.
Peng , a human head swept over and landed in front of the carriage, splattering Spiritual Infant Tier blood and emitting a powerful coercive force.
“Where do you think you guys are going?” Ling Han stood with his sword in hand, seething with killing intent.

Everything had first and second time, but how could there be third one as well?
Hu Qin Fang already escaped twice, and actually wanted to escape for a third time and then request Deity Transformation Tier elites to come over?
Ling Han obviously wouldn’t tolerate it; with an imposing presence, he barged in with his sword to block the carriage,
“Cool!” Qin Lian Yue said, infatuated. She was actually a romantic person, and obviously adored heroes the most. Ling Han was the same age as her, and not too different in tier, but his strength was much more powerful, conquering her heart in no time.
Of course, she only idolized Ling Han now; it was different from falling in love.
“Ugly monster is thinking about Ling Han as expected. Should I kill her?” Hu Niu stroked her chin, and seriously considered the thought.
Ling Han condensed Sword Qi and formed a pseudo-ray. The 10,000 Techniques Return to One was prepared to be launched.
“Brat, you certainly are very strong, but this young master is Wind Moon Sect’s Young Sect Master! Are you sure you want to make an enemy of me?” Hu Qin Fang threatened. Now that he was forced to bring up his background to scare him, it was clear that he certainly was at his wits’ end.
Ling Han laughed grimly, and said, “The Wind Moon Sect is such a shameless sect. I might as well uproot it so as to avoid the great suffering of others.”
“Big talk!” Hu Qing Fang shouted sternly. Although Ling Han’s battle prowess was strong, it was only at Spiritual Infant Tier, and the Wind Moon Sect had Heaven Tier elites—and not just one!
Even Deity Transformation Tier warriors were enough to roll over Spiritual Infant Tier ones, let alone Heaven Tier warriors.
“I’ll kill you first for a good start!” Ling Han already completed the accumulation of power, and with a swing of the sword, 29 flashes of Sword Qi gathered and turned into a light golden-colored stream, sweeping towards the carriage.
The carriage already set up its barrier, blocking the stream, but it only lasted for an instant. Peng , the barrier actually shattered under the assault of the Sword Qi, and the stream continued to sweep by from the center of the carriage, instantly slashing the carriage into two parts.
Terrifying!
When the carriage activated its defense, it could form a barrier at the Spiritual Infant Tier, which relied on Origin Crystals as its source of power. So as long as there were Origin Crystals, the barrier could be constantly maintained and instantly replenished.
It was destroyed with the strike of the sword, so how terrifying would Ling Han’s strike have to be for the barrier’s replenishment to unable to keep up?
Inside the carriage, Hu Qing Fang leapt out, his face pale. This guy was too fierce. He was sitting in Wind Moon Sect’s ancient war chariot, which theoretically couldn’t be broken through by any Spiritual Infant Tier opponents.
In the middle state, Deity Transformation Tier cultivators could be called elites, and who among those that reached this level would easily start a war against the Wind Moon Sect? For this reason, Hu Qing Fang always ran wild in the ancient war chariot without scruples—until the recent few days, when he knocked into two iron plates consecutively.
…Hu Niu could bite open the war chariot’s defense, and Ling Han was even more kickass, slicing the carriage in two with a sword strike.
“You, you… don’t come over!” Hu Qing Fang’s greatest trump card was lost, and he was finally thrown into a panic, completely losing composure.
“Then scream. See if anyone will come save you if you scream your throat out,” Ling Han said indifferently.
“Hahahaha!” Hu Niu began to laugh loudly, while Zhu Xuan Er laughed lightly with her mouth covered. Qin Lian Yue thought shortly, then began to laugh as well; her idol told a joke, so whether it was funny or not, she’d just laugh first.
“Go!” Hu Qing Fang pushed the four beautiful women while he turned tail and ran.
“What a joke of a man!” With a flash, Ling Han turned into a flash of lightning and caught up to Hu Qing Fan. With a strike of the sword, pu , Hu Qing Fang’s head soared into the sky, blood gushing violently from the severed neck.
“Young Sect Master!” the four beautiful women cried out, their faces pale.
“Jackals of the same tribe!” Ling Han turned around and swung the sword again, killing the four beautiful women as well
.
In the Wind Moon Sect, men harvested Origin Yin, and women harvested Origin Yang. The higher their tier, the more people they’d harmed to get there, so none of them needed to be spared.
“Ah, you actually did it?” Qin Lian Yue looked at Hu Qing Fang’s corpse, and sighed. “Wind Moon Sect’s sect master might have countless wives and concubines, but he only has one son, whom he spoiled extremely. You killed him, which means making an enemy of the Wind Moon Sect.”
Ling Han looked towards her, and said, “Then should I silence you too?”
“No need, no need!” Qin Lian Yue waved her hand hurriedly. “Isn’t there still a Yang Ying Yun who slipped through the net? You don’t need to silence me.”
This woman had quite the self-amusing spirit.
Ling Han shook his head, and walked over to store the spatial rings that Hu Qing Fang and Duan Ming Da dropped. At a glance, these two people were really quite rich, especially Hu Qing Fan who actually had a seventh-tier rare metal in his spatial ring. Presumably, when he advanced into the Spiritual Infant Tier, it would be used to forge a weapon for him.
“Nice timing. I’ve only got six arrows remaining, and though this piece of rare metal isn’t too large, forging five arrows shouldn’t be a problem.”
Ling Han walked back, and said, “Where are you two going?” These two people obviously meant Qin Lian Yue and He Lan Yun.
“You guys are going to the Restore Heaven Academy, and I’m also going there, so of course we’re going together!” Qin Lian Yue immediately said.
He Lan Yun glanced at Can Ye, and said, “I’ll also go with you guys.”
Can Ye was somewhat flushed, and a gentle look flashed across his eyes. It seemed like the disaster earlier opened up the film that separated the two, having positive effects.
Ling Han laughed loudly, and conveniently took out a handful of medicinal pills from the Black Tower, handing it over to He Yun Lan. He then said, “Come, come, come, this is a greeting gift.”
He Yun Lan instantly blushed, but still reached out to retrieve the medicinal pills, glancing at Can Ye again and feeling sweet in her heart. She felt the humiliation she’d suffered earlier all turned into mist.
Qin Lian Yue also reached out her slim hand, and said, “Do I have any?”
This woman was so brazen!
Ling Han sneered, and said, “No!”
“Stingy!” Qin Lian Yue muttered.
Ling Han ignored her, and said, “Let’s go. When the almighty of Wind Moon Sect are drawn over, we’ll be in some serious trouble.”
Everyone nodded. This was a forest, anyway; with wild beasts running rampant, it could naturally destroy all evidences such as corpse for them.
Without Hu Qing Fang’s threat hanging over them, they walked back on the main streets. After all, the mountain and forest landscape were complex, and would affect their speed.
“Brother Ling, have you got any interest in going to a certain place?” Qin Lian Yue approached to strike up a conversation.
“No!” Ling Han declined directly.
“You haven’t even listened to me saying what that place is!” Qin Lian Yue was somewhat aggrieved. For the first time, she doubted her own charisma, being rejected by Ling Han so laconically.
“Not interested in any place,” Ling Han said.
“It’s a medicinal valley!” Qin Lian Yue spoke out.
Ling Han was slightly surprised—a medicinal valley? For him who was the Alchemy Emperor, a medicinal valley was still quite attractive, and in his hands, the effects of medicinal ingredients could be maximized. Now that his tier was higher and higher, the more he needed higher level medicinal ingredients.
He asked, “What level’s the medicinal valley?”
Chapter 614

If it were a Flower Blossom Tier or Spiritual Pedestal Tier medicinal valley, Ling Han would have no interest in it, since he would soon cross the Flower Blossom Tier and advance into the Spiritual Infant Tier.
“I’m also unclear. The valley entrance had a Spiritual Infant Tier beast keeping watch over it, so I didn’t dare to go deep. However, at the location of the valley entrance, I also discovered a spirit fruit tree,” Qin Lian Yue said. “It was also because of this medicinal valley that I bumped into Hu Qing Fang.”
“This…” Ling Han muttered. By valley entrance, there was already a seventh tier spirit fruit tree, so there might be higher spiritual medicines inside the valley.
Even if it were only seventh tier spirit medicines, that was also considerably useful.
“Brother Ling, are you moved?” Qin Lian Yue said smilingly.
“Are you smug?” Ling Han said.
“Follow me!” Qin Lian Yue didn’t take the chance to make sarcastic remarks, and led the way instead, talking about how she’d discovered the medicinal valley.
Since there was still half a year before the Restore Heaven Academy officially opened, she wasn’t in a rush, and wandered about, also seeking some luck for herself. She really was lucky in that when she was tracking a large white rabbit, she came to this medicinal valley, but there roamed a Spiritual Infant Tier beast, which scared her. As she was thinking of finding people to break in together, she unexpectedly encountered Hu Qing Fang and was constantly chased by him, being entangled for over half a month.
Thus, they were still somewhat far from the medicinal valley.
Qin Lian Yue obviously took many roundabout ways at the time, but it wasn’t necessary for them. They only needed to walk in a straight line, so it would only a journey of about five days.
After one day, they arrived in a small town, and stopped to rest for the night.
“Lady Qin! Lady Qin!” The first thing in the morning, when they were about to set out, a young man rushed over. He looked twenty-six to twenty-seven, and was already in the peak stage of the Flower Blossom Tier; his strength was quite extraordinary.
He also looked impressive, and wore cyan clothes all over his body, drawing out the contours of his well-built physique. His hair was dark, and his skin sparkling and translucent as if it could emit light, smoother than many women’s.
“Ye Rong!” Qin Lian Yue revealed an astounded expression, and said, “Why are you here?”
“I heard Lady Qin was entangled by that evil crook, Hu Qing Fang, and immediately rushed over. Not bad, not bad, looks like I still came in time.” The man in cyan clothing let out a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted, with evident affection in his gaze.
Qin Lian Yue pretended not to see it, and said, “This is Flying Star Sect’s sect master’s cherished disciple, Ye Rong, Brother Ye. Brother Ye’s martial arts talent is extremely high, and he’s obtained direct entry to the Restore Heaven Academy.
Ye Rong immediately revealed a lofty look, with his hands behind his back, appearing insufferably arrogant.
Being able to obtain a direct entry to the Restore Heaven Academy explained that his martial arts talent was certainly extremely kickass. Such a genius was obviously proud of his own talent, and regarded many things as beneath him. Being courteous to Qin Lian Yue was obviously because he liked this girl, and in front of others, he obviously revealed the loftiness that geniuses usually had.
Things of a kind came together, and a genius like him obviously wouldn’t stoop down to associating with Ling Han and the others.
Ling Han simply smiled, and said, “So its Brother Ye.”
Seeing Ling Han greet him, Can Ye, Zhu Xuan Er, and He Lan Yun also called out one after another. Hu Niu, however, completed ignored him; it wasn’t worth her time to acknowledge such a self-important guy.
Ye Rong took everyone’s greetings as something obvious. Being able to obtain a direct entry to the Restore Heaven Academy already sufficiently confirmed his talents, and was his reason for arrogance. He completely considered everyone beneath him, and just looked at Qin Lian Yue, and said, “Lady Qin, It’s better that I escort you to the Restore Heaven Academy.”
Qin Lian Yue was displeased, and said, “Brother Ye, do you think I’m a three-year-old child?”
“Hehe, I’m only worried for you!” Ye Rong didn’t take it as uncongenial; however, if someone else said this, he would definitely be furious and possibly even kill them directly.
How could an exceptional genius be slighted?
Qin Lian Yue looked at Ling Han with an inquiring gaze. They were going to the medicinal valley, and with one more person, the treasured medicines they obtained would obviously be split with one more person.
Ling Han smiled faintly, and said, “Since Brother Ye’s so sincere, let’s go together.”
Ye Rong couldn’t help but glance at Ling Han, and felt that this person knew the cues, knowing that he was pursuing Qin Lian Yue, and intentionally assisted him. Yes, it wouldn’t hurt to guide him a little in the future. He opened his mouth arrogantly, and said, “You’re all going to the Restore Heaven Academy?”
After receiving everyone’s affirmation, he suppressed a laugh, and said, “I’m a direct-entry disciple anyhow, and have certain special rights. In the future, when you guys go to the academy to participate in the exam, I’ll say some good things to assist you guys.”
“Hehe, then thank you,” Ling Han said, not caring at all. He’d seen many conceited people, and didn’t care at all.
Zhu Xuan Er, Qin Lian Yue, and Yun He Lan laughed lightly with their mouths covered. If this guy saw Ling Han’s battle prowess, he probably wouldn’t say ‘assist’ even if he were beaten to death—how embarrassing!
With Ye Rong, the seven people continued to advance.
Ye Rong certainly had powerful backing. Flying Star Sect was a super-sect no inferior to the Wind Moon Sect, and was only beneath the Absolute Saber Sect, the Heaven’s Sword Sect, and other such ancient sects. Ye Rong was Flying Star Sect’s sect master’s seventh disciple, and one of the most exceptional three; being able to obtain direct entry to the Restore Heaven Academy proved so.
He was now only 29 years old, but looked 26 or 27. That was because he advanced into the Flower Blossom Tier early, and the changes in facial appearance slowed.
