Chapter 56

Boom——

In an instant, a fierce wind swept through the dungeon. Qin Kelan felt as if she were at the center of a vortex, with everything around her being overturned.

The originally silent cave was suddenly filled with the sound of wind and thunder. Qin Kelan could only cling tightly to Bai Chen, the fierce wind whistling in her ears, stinging her face.

At the moment the Governor Vessel was unblocked, a large amount of heaven and earth essence energy immediately surged in, continuously expanding her meridians. It then circulated through her body, rushing into the sea of qi.

Those three poor little bugs thought the world would now be peaceful, but they were unprepared for the even more violent heaven and earth essence energy.

Although they could absorb and devour true qi, they avoided the heaven and earth essence energy.

In essence, they were quite similar to ordinary people, both fearing the heaven and earth essence energy.

Unfortunately, they had chosen the wrong host this time, encountering Bai Chen, a freak.

The difference between innate and acquired lies in this: if the Governor and Conception Vessels are both unblocked, then the heaven and earth essence energy will flow continuously, endlessly.

However, the functions of the two acupoints are very clear. The Governor Vessel connects to heaven and earth, absorbing essence energy, cleansing the meridians, and expanding the qi sea, increasing its capacity several times over.

The Conception Vessel expels impurities and retains the true, allowing the release of true qi, which is a hallmark of innate experts.

However, at this moment, Bai Chen had only unblocked the Governor Vessel, so he could only initially connect with heaven and earth, drawing in the essence energy to cleanse his meridians.

But he could not expel the impurities from the heaven and earth essence energy, nor could he release true qi.

For others, this would be a fatal threat, but for Bai Chen, it posed no threat at all.

His meridians had already been refined by the heaven and earth essence energy countless times, and he did not need to absorb the essence energy to cultivate.

"How do you feel now?" Qin Kelan clung tightly to Bai Chen, her eyes no longer sharp but filled with tenderness.

Bai Chen looked at Qin Kelan's expression, feeling strange. Just half a day ago, they were mortal enemies, but now they were close.

Bai Chen smiled oddly, "Are we still enemies now?"

Qin Kelan slightly lowered her head, as if deep in thought.

"If you need to, you can lean on my shoulder."

Bai Chen said this almost involuntarily, even he didn't understand why he said it.

But he felt that the woman before him was no longer the one he deeply despised.

In fact, from the beginning, Bai Chen never really considered Qin Kelan his mortal enemy, at least not now.

Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that Bai Chen was mostly driven by his baser instincts, controlled by his lower half.

Bai Chen felt the arms around his waist tighten, and a faint fragrance wafted to his nose.

The warmth and fragrance lingered at his fingertips, causing a ripple in his heart.

"Do you hate me? If it weren't for me..."

"People can't always have things go their way. Occasionally, suffering a loss is not a bad choice, and I didn't really lose much." Bai Chen smiled, showing no concern.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew from the depths of the cave, causing Qin Kelan to shiver slightly, and her arms tightened even more.

...

"Master." Bai Que rushed to Yin Jueqing, his face full of panic.

Yin Jueqing's brows furrowed slightly, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he gripped the armrest of his chair. With a creak, the solid wood armrest was easily crushed.

"Why aren't you watching the two outside the Bug Tomb? Why did you come here?"

Bai Que's forehead was drenched in cold sweat. In the past, if he could avoid facing Yin Jueqing, he would never choose to see him.

Even though he was an elder of the Yin Xu Sect, Yin Jueqing would not give him any face.

Yin Jueqing's cruel methods were well-known to Bai Que.

"The Bug Tomb... There seems to be a problem inside." Bai Que said nervously, his eyes darting around.

"Problem? Did the two die too soon?" Yin Jueqing responded calmly.

He didn't care about the life or death of Bai Chen and Qin Kelan.

He was determined to obtain the Dragon King Pill from the Dan Qi Sect. Even if Qin Kelan didn't speak, others would.

The few remaining elders of the Dan Qi Sect were in his hands.

As for Bai Chen's external cultivation method, it was just a trivial matter to him. He wanted it only because his superiors wanted it. Getting it would be a stroke of luck, but not getting it would have no impact on him.

"No... No, a strong cold wind is blowing inside the Bug Tomb... I... I am worried..."

Yin Jueqing's expression changed, and he stood up abruptly. "Impossible... That monster only wakes up on the night of the full moon. How could it wake up now?"

"I... I thought so too, but..."

"Have you entered the Bug Tomb to investigate? Do you know what's happening inside?"

Enter the Bug Tomb? Bai Que was at a loss. Was the Bug Tomb something to be entered casually?

Thinking about the few times he had entered the Bug Tomb, each time was bone-chilling and hair-raising.

It was not a place for the living. The prisoners inside were either devoured by bugs or turned into zombies.

If it weren't absolutely necessary, Bai Que would never enter the Bug Tomb.

Even when Yin Jueqing ordered him to watch the two, he only threw them into the Bug Tomb and then dropped a thousand-pound stone.

As for guarding? Bai Que had already considered the two as dead.

Thinking of Qin Kelan's beautiful face, he felt a pang of regret.

He inwardly sighed at Yin Jueqing's ruthless methods. Yin Jueqing didn't indulge in women, but why couldn't he understand his subordinates?

Yin Jueqing, seeing Bai Que's expression, knew exactly what he was thinking.

Bai Que saw Yin Jueqing's expression worsen, and his heart filled with fear.

Just then, a disciple rushed in, and Bai Que breathed a sigh of relief. At least this disciple's interruption saved him from Yin Jueqing's wrath.

"Master, it's bad... The Dragon Tiger Sect is attacking..."

"What?!" Yin Jueqing almost couldn't believe his ears. The Dragon Tiger Sect dared to attack the Yin Xu Sect.

The Dragon Tiger Sect might be the largest sect in Qingzhou City, but to Yin Jueqing, it was nothing.

In terms of foundation, the Dragon Tiger Sect was not even worthy to tie the shoes of the Yin Xu Sect. In terms of background, the Dragon Tiger Sect was far inferior to the Yin Xu Sect.

The Dragon Tiger Sect daring to attack the Yin Xu Sect made Yin Jueqing suspect that Long Xing had gone mad.

The only advantage the Dragon Tiger Sect had was Long Xing's innate cultivation. In the past, Yin Jueqing might have backed down.

But now that he had also broken through to the innate realm, he had planned to sweep through the other sects. He never expected the Dragon Tiger Sect to attack first.

"Bai Que, have your Yin Feng Hall destroy the Dragon Tiger Sect and bring me Long Xing's head."

The Yin Xu Sect had three halls and one pavilion: the Yin Feng Hall, the Blood Oath Hall, the Hidden Poison Hall, and the Yin Xu Pavilion, each led by an elder. The Yin Xu Pavilion was naturally led by Yin Jueqing.

Except for the Yin Xu Pavilion, the Yin Feng Hall was the strongest, not much weaker than the other major sects.

So, sending Bai Que to lead the Yin Feng Hall to fight the enemy was not a difficult task for him.

In Yin Jueqing's view, with the advantages of time, place, and people on their side, if the Yin Feng Hall still lost to the Dragon Tiger Sect, Bai Que would have no value in living.

Bai Que immediately accepted the order and left, feeling confident, just like Yin Jueqing. He had never taken the Dragon Tiger Sect seriously.

The entire Dragon Tiger Sect was supported by Long Xing alone. Apart from him, it was worthless.

Apart from Long Xing being a bit troublesome, the other disciples of the Dragon Tiger Sect were not worth worrying about.

Thinking of this, Bai Que felt even more confident.

Bai Que quickly gathered his disciples from the Yin Feng Hall. With over a hundred disciples, they hadn't even left the hall when they were suddenly attacked by a group of women.

Seeing so many young and beautiful women, Bai Que's eyes widened, and he drooled.

The other disciples of the Yin Feng Hall were no better. These women were all stunningly beautiful and graceful.

"Attack! Capture them all alive!" Bai Que, moved by the sight, ordered his disciples excitedly.

Bai Que's eyes sparkled as he saw a sword thrust toward him. The woman holding the sword was breathtakingly beautiful, more stunning than the others.

He wondered, when did the Dragon Tiger Sect have so many female disciples?

But before he could think further, a fierce sword energy came straight at him.

Bai Que's mind went blank, and he awkwardly dodged the sword energy. A sharp sound rang out, and a bloodstain appeared on his chest.

"Y-You... You..." Bai Que trembled.

Where did these women come from?

How could they be innate experts?

In an instant, Bai Que realized that not only was the woman he faced terrifyingly powerful, but the other women were also much stronger than his disciples.

Each of them was highly skilled. Even the disciples of the Yin Xu Sect did not have such skills.

Gongsun Chenxing lowered her sword, her eyes cold and indifferent.

"Where have you imprisoned Bai Chen?" Gongsun Chenxing pointed her sword at Bai Que, her eyes filled with hatred.

"Are you here for that Bai boy?" Bai Que's face twitched.

They were always the ones who slaughtered others, but this time, the roles were reversed.

Moreover, it was a group of women. These women were not only highly skilled but also ruthless, leaving his disciples either dead or severely injured with a single strike.

In just a quarter of an hour, a third of his hundred disciples were slaughtered, while the other side remained unscathed.

At this moment, Mei Jiangxue stepped forward, having not yet joined the fight.

Bai Que swallowed hard. Although this woman was a bit older, she had a graceful and regal presence, with a charm that made all other beauties pale in comparison.

Mei Jiangxue's tone was calm but cold, "If you do not hand over Bai Chen today, I will raze your Yin Xu Sect to the ground. Don't think that just because you have the support of the Absolute Yin Valley, you can act as you please. If anything happens to Bai Chen, not only will you be destroyed, but the Absolute Yin Valley will also face annihilation!"

Bai Que drew a sharp breath. This woman's words were bold. The fact that the Yin Xu Sect was supported by the Absolute Yin Valley was known only to a few elders and the master.

How did this woman know?

Moreover, her tone suggested that she knew more than just that.

She didn't seem to take the Absolute Yin Valley seriously, as if it would face destruction at her command.

"May I ask who you are? What is your relationship with that Bai boy?" Bai Que thought to himself, trying to gauge the situation.

Bai Que no longer dared to underestimate these women. He knew there were many people in the world he couldn't provoke, and even the Yin Xu Sect and the Absolute Yin Valley couldn't.

This beautiful woman before him might be one of them.

But he couldn't understand why an unknown boy from the Wu Liang Sect could attract such a powerful figure to come to his rescue.

Just then, two old men walked in from outside. Their hands were blood-red, and their clothes were stained with blood.

But their steps were steady and unhurt, indicating that the blood was not theirs.

Bai Que immediately recognized the two old men, but he couldn't understand why they were here.

"Medicine Venerable, Poison Venerable, what are you doing here?"

Poison Venerable's eyes were cold, and he grunted, "Razing your Yin Xu Sect!"

Clang——

Bai Que's mind felt as if it were inside a large bell, struck a hundred times.
