Seeking the Flying Sword Path

“Brother Yun.” Sitting by the side, Yi Xiao could not help but remark. “That Yuci lives in the Yellowbeard Great World, the world where Elder Yellowbeard resides. Are you going to take action just like that?”

“So what if it’s the Yellowbeard Great World?” said Qin Yun with a smile. “Xiaoxiao, you underestimate my strength.”

Yi Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that.

“Wait for me. I’ll be right back.” As Qin Yun said this, he tore through immense space with his disciple, Bian Hanyu, and headed for the Yellowbeard Great World.

As Yi Xiao watched Qin Yun leave, she smiled. “Brother Yun doesn’t even think anything of Elder Yellowbeard? From the looks of it, Brother Yun’s strength has increased significantly.”

The stronger her husband was, the higher the chances of him transcending the Itinerant Immortal tribulation.

As for a mere Yuci?

Her husband had killed numerous other-universe cultivators in the spatial tide, so what was one more Yuci?

…

Yellowbeard Great World.

With Qin Yun in the lead, he and Bian Hanyu appeared in midair and faced a towering mountain that had an air of grievance lingering around it. The sky above the mountain was perennially covered in black fog. Typically, humans would view such environments in contempt, but Chaos Godfiend Yuci loved such an environment the most.

“Hanyu, this is Yuci’s cave abode, Seven Grievances Palace,” Qin Yun said.

Bian Hanyu looked at the towering mountain which emitted an air of grievance, it left her heart racing as a mortal. However, she long knew of Yuci’s Seven Grievances Palace. Even so, her first sight of it only served to deepen her hatred.

Qin Yun nodded. “Let’s enter.”

With his female disciple in tow, he flew straight into the depths of the mountain and flew towards the cave abode.

And at that moment—

Inside the Seven Grievances Palace, a greenish-white snake-light creature was coiled there. Its head was in the form of a human male as it looked down from a towering position. It let out a deep voice. “Is the food ready?”

“Cave Lord, today’s food has been prepared. It’s a third firmament Essence Soul female cultivator. She has survived numerous tortures and her grievance is definitely something that will satisfy you.” A black-robed man beneath said with a smile. Following that, he clapped his hands lightly and guards immediately carried a cage in. In it was an imprisoned woman.

The woman’s eyes were filled with insanity as she lowered her head and touched her abdomen. “Where’s my child? Where’s my child?”

“Have you forgotten that you ate your own child?” the black-robed man said.

“It’s you. You were the ones who harmed my child—” The woman’s expression was distorted. She could not forget all that she had experienced in the past few months.

“Yeah.”

Cave Lord Yuci watched all of this from an aloof position. He closed his eyes and wore a look of pure enjoyment. “Indeed, the amount of grievances in her is rich. Such a soul would be truly delicious.” With that said, he inhaled and the writhing woman’s Essence Soul immediately flew up and into Yuci’s mouth and was swallowed whole. The woman’s body instantly slumped to the ground and was reduced to a corpse.

The black-robed man and the guards remained reverent. They did not dare disturb the Cave Lord while he was dining.

“Well done. You are dismissed,” instructed Yuci.

“Yes.”

The black-robed man and the other subordinates retreated politely with the cage. Soon, the hall was restored to its silence.

Yuci coiled there, his head restoring to its ugly, original three-horned look. He closed his eyes and began his slumber.

“Whoosh.”

Two figures appeared inside the hall by stepping out of the void.

Yuci was astounded. He opened his eyes and saw a man and woman.

“It’s him? Mt. Lightning Roar’s Sword Immortal Qin.” Even though Yuci was a Chaos Godfiend, he was quick to react no matter how brutal he was.

His massive body instantly transformed into a green-robed middle-aged man. He immediately said with an obsequious smile, “Greetings Sword Immortal Qin, I’m Yuci.”

Qin Yun stood there and frowned slightly. “There was a rich air of grievance here a moment ago. Now, it’s slowly dissipating.” With a thought, he understood all that had happened through the river of time. This made the cold glint in Qin Yun’s eyes deepen. “This Yuci… truly deserves death!”

Qin Yun’s killing intent was aroused having discovered all that had happened through the river of time.

The third firmament Essence Soul female cultivator was only today’s meal. Yuci had done many similar deeds over an extended period of time.

Among the Chaos Godfiends, many of them treated the living creatures of the Three Realms as prey. Yuci was one of them.

“They all deserve death.”

Qin Yun thought, “If I, Qin Yun, can transcend the Itinerant Immortal tribulation, I will one day make these brutal Chaos Godfiends understand that the Three Realms isn’t their hunting ground!”

If dealing with the fiends was considered difficult, then trying to make the numerous Chaos Godfiend fear and change their habits was even more difficult! After all, the fiends only had two perfected Great Dao experts. As for the Chaos Godfiends, there were a lot more experts. The pinnacle existences in the Three Realms were mostly Chaos Godfiends. The Dao Ancestors, Buddhist Ancestor, and Goddess Nüwa were all Chaos Godfiends.

The number of perfected Great Dao existences that were human or demon were only a handful!

Although the baneful Chaos Godfiends were the minority, they still far exceeded the fiends. The fiends had such a threatening stance only because of the Fiend Ancestor. If the Dao Ancestors, Buddhist Ancestor, and Fiend Ancestor were forced to leave the Three Realms, perhaps the Daoists, Buddhists, and Fiends would suffer a decrease in standing. The various Chaos Godfiends and their affiliations would rapidly rise in power.

“Yuci.” Qin Yun looked at him.

“Sword Immortal Qin, feel free to give me instructions. I’ll do my best at fulfilling your wishes.” Having transformed into a green-robed middle-aged man, Yuci spoke obsequiously. However, he felt a little worried when he saw Bian Hanyu beside Qin Yun.

As a pinnacle mighty figure, he could tell at a glance… that Bian Hanyu shared an immense animosity towards him and hated him to the bone.

“Why does this woman hate me?” Through their karmic connection, he quickly saw the karmic scene and understood. “So that’s why. For her to have such a immense grudge against me, the fact that Sword Immortal Qin brought her here means that they aren’t here on friendly terms.”

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Yuci turned flustered. The gap between him and Sword Immortal Qin was just too huge. He had no means of preserving his life through his powers alone.

“Disciple, your enemy is here. Say whatever you wish to say,” Qin Yun said as Bian Hanyu stared at Yuci intently, her eyes filled with hatred. “Yuci, do you still remember how you killed 103 lives about four centuries ago?”

“A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding,” Yuci said immediately as he tried to defend himself.

“You still wish to lie in front of me?” Qin Yun said.

Yuci was taken aback.

Yes, with Qin Yun’s realm he had long seen everything through the river of time.

Yuci said immediately, “Sword Immortal Qin, I’m a disciple of Elder Sword Yellowbeard. I’ve been staying in the Yellowbeard Great World all this time. I haven’t been out hunting without any restraints. I’m truly trying to do good. As for the 103 lives, it was my avatar that couldn’t resist the temptation of its appetite while out… This resulted in the deaths of a tiny number of people!”

“Temptation of its appetite?” Bian Hanyu was even more enraged. “Master, I do not have any wish to speak with him. I only wish he die sooner.”

“Alright.” Qin Yun nodded and waved his sleeve.

Instantly, his Intrinsic Flying Sword flew out as sword beams.

However, another fluctuation descended upon the hall. It was extremely mysterious, one that even Qin Yun found a blur. He knew that this fluctuation came from the lord of this Great World, the mysterious Elder Yellowbeard.

“Show him mercy!” A voice resounded in the hall.

However, Qin Yun scoffed as the sword beams streaked across the sky. Yuci was instantly reduced to his true form as he tried to escape and resist as best as he could. While doing so, he anxiously pleaded with Elder Yellowbeard. “Patriarch, save me! Save me!” However, the sword beam was just too fast as it instantly delivered its blow, dicing up Yuci instantly into dozens of pieces. His Essence Soul was annihilated.

In just one move, Chaos Godfiend Yuci was dead.
