Chapter 16: Mu Qing, You’ve Been Caught!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qi Ming’s cheers resounded throughout the Green Cloud Peak’s servant quarters. When Pang San saw this scene, he could not help but reveal a surprised expression.

“I actually didn’t notice.”

Pang San said in surprise, “This Qi Ming actually has such strength. Cao Yunhai was defeated so thoroughly and practically had no ability to counterattack. Looks like Qi Ming was playing with the other party from the beginning.”

“You’ve lost.”

Qi Ming’s gaze was indifferent as he looked at Cao Yunhai. After saying this indifferently, he put away the Skeleton Sword and turned to leave without looking back.

“Qi Ming!”

Cao Yunhai gradually returned to his senses. At this moment, anger surged in his heart. He had already lost his rationality. He roared angrily and launched a sneak attack on Qi Ming from behind.

Roar!

Cao Yunhai threw a punch with all his might. The power of the Green Cloud Five Tiger Seal erupted, transforming into a tiger-shaped fist mark that struck at Qi Ming’s heart.

Clearly, impulsiveness was truly detrimental.

“Scoundrel!” The elder shouted angrily.

“Be careful!”

“Boss, be careful!”

“Holy f*ck! Cao Yunhai actually launched a sneak attack.”

“It’s too late.”

“Quickly dodge it!”

“…”

Everyone could not help but shout.

Clang!!!

A sword cry sounded.

“Green Cloud Sword Technique.”

Qi Ming did not turn around. He only slashed behind him as if he had a third eye on his back. The green sword light streaked across the sky.

Pew!!!

Blood splattered.

“Ah!!!”

Cao Yunhai let out an extremely miserable cry as his body was sent flying. His right arm was cut off by Qi Ming’s sword.

Thick blood flowed to the ground.

The severed arm fell to the side, and his fingers were still twitching slightly.

The scene was a little bloody.

“What a fast sword.”

“This Cao Yunhai was asking for it.”

“He deserves it!”

“So be it if he lost, but he actually refused to accept the result. He took advantage of Qi Ming turning around and leaving to launch a sneak attack. Fortunately, Senior Brother Qi’s strength is formidable, and he directly counterattacked Cao Yunhai.”

“That’s right.”

“He deserves it.”

“Shh… Don’t say anymore. Cao Yunhai’s older brother is an outer sect senior brother who’s about to reach the Foundation Establishment realm. Since Qi Ming cut off Cao Yunhai’s arm now, it’ll probably be troublesome.”

“Cao Yunhai deserved it.”

The many servant disciples conversed.

“Bring him down.”

Mu Qing’s expression darkened as he glanced at Cao Yunhai, “Cao Yunhai violated the rules of the competition and ambushed Qi Ming after the competition ended. He’s disqualified and will be directly eliminated.”

“Yes.”

The elder nodded and carried Qi Ming away.

“The competition will continue.”

Mu Qing waved his hand, “Don’t casually injure others.”

“Yes.”

Qi Ming shrugged and shook off the blood on the Skeleton Sword. His gaze indifferently looked at Cao Yunhai who had already been brought far away, and there was already a wisp of killing intent in his eyes.

Moreover…

Cao Yunhai looked at Qi Ming with eyes filled with hatred.

“Qi Ming, I won’t let you off.” He silently threatened Qi Ming.

Qi Ming thought to himself, ‘In the arena just now, I couldn’t kill Cao Yunhai in front of everyone, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll find an opportunity to get rid of Cao Yunhai. At that time, I’ll pin the murderer on the spy from the Demon Sect.’

“On the other hand, Cao Yunhai’s brother is a little troublesome. He’s an outer sect disciple who’s about to reach the Foundation Establishment realm. However, my spiritual pet Bat Demon is about to advance, so it’s not impossible to deal with him.”

After Qi Ming thought it through, he felt relieved.

Next, Cao Yunhai was disqualified from the competition. Coupled with the fact that he was already heavily injured and his right hand had been severed, he naturally could not continue fighting.

So, Mu Qing let the original 11th place Xu Chu from the C-Class Servant Quarters take over.

For the next two rounds, Qi Ming went against Zhu Youde and Tang Bing. The two of them were not weak either, but they were slightly inferior to Cao Yunhai, let alone Qi Ming.

They were both defeated. Qi Ming won three consecutive victories and easily obtained first place in the Green Cloud Peak’s Servant Quarters Competition.

“Senior Brother Qi’s strength is outstanding. We are not your match.” Zhu Youde bowed and admitted defeat.

“Thank you.” Qi Ming returned the greeting.

“Senior Brother Qi, may I ask how you cultivated the Green Cloud Sword Technique to Perfection? Is there any method behind it? Senior Brother, please enlighten me.”

Tang Bing also grasped the Green Cloud Sword Technique, but she was only at the level of Outstanding and was far from being able to compare to Qi Ming’s Perfection realm. She humbly sought guidance.

“What method can there be?”

Qi Ming looked at Tang Bing in confusion and said, “Isn’t it very normal to reach the Perfection realm just by practicing?”

“What… I…”

Tang Bing was instantly stunned, and her icy cold expression was ruined. She seemed to be slightly cute and adorable, and after a short moment, she could only say, “Senior Brother Qi’s natural talent is extraordinary, Junior Sister is inferior.”

“Yes.”

Qi Ming nodded. “I know. You don’t have to be discouraged. Work hard. In the future, I can leave you the position of my maidservant.”

“I…”

Tang Bing opened her mouth and was speechless. freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Next, Mu Qing distributed the rewards for the top three. Qi Ming, who was first, received 100 low-grade spirit stones, a low-grade Qi Refinement realm talisman treasure, and a low-grade Qi Refinement realm spell technique.

Second place was Tang Bing, and third place was Zhu Youde.

They had all received their rewards.

Mu Qing’s gaze swept past Qi Ming and the others and said, “Get ready, rest for a day. Tomorrow, I’ll bring you to the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm to participate in the Outer Sect Assessment of the twelve peaks.”

“Yes.” Qi Ming and the others replied in unison.

“Disperse.” Mu Qing waved his hand.

Thus…

The servant disciples dispersed. They had to prepare and pack up what they needed to pack. They had to leave the Green Cloud Peak and go to the ‘mortal world’.

Of course, a month later, the Heaven Enlightenment Sect would open its mountain gate again. The twelve peaks would gather and choose disciples from the mortal world. There would also be disciples from other cultivation families joining.

At that time, it would be a grand event.

This disciple recruitment event was called the Heaven Enlightenment Assembly.

It was held every three years.

However, at this moment, an accident happened.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Three streaks of light tore through the sky from the horizon. They were three figures that had at least reached the Foundation Establishment realm flying in the sky. In the blink of an eye, they landed on the arena square.

On a closer look, these three people were all ruddy and had lightning-like gazes. Their auras were extraordinary. They were wearing the clothes of outer sect elders.

“Mu Qing.”

“You’ve been exposed.”

After the three outer sect elders landed, they had already surrounded Mu Qing in the middle. The aura on their bodies circulated. They had actually already surpassed the Foundation Establishment realm.

“What happened?”

“What’s wrong?”

“What did First Elder Mu Qing do? They actually gathered the three outer sect elders to capture him?”

“Gasp…”

Everyone was shocked.

“Hahaha…”

Mu Qing laughed loudly. He did not have any fear as he looked straight at the three outer sect elders and shouted, “You three want to take me down?”

“Attack!”

Clang!

As soon as they finished speaking, Mu Qing waved his right hand, and an azure sword floated into the air. In an instant, it split into 108 sword bodies that transformed into a sword rain that enveloped the three outer sect elders.

“Blazing Dragon Spear, strike!”

One of the outer sect elders pointed with his right hand, and a crimson spear flew out. Flames surged as it transformed into a wyrm that pounced over.

Bang bang bang!!!

The sword qi exploded and the flames shattered. Rumbling sounds resounded in all directions, and an extremely powerful aftershock spread towards the surroundings. Qi Ming and the others quickly retreated.

Swish!

After the initial exchange, Mu Qing flew into the sky as the three outer sect elders quickly chased after him. Qi Ming and the others could no longer see the following battle clearly.

There was no helping it.

The main reason was that the difference in strength was too great.. The disciples could not even keep up with their movements.
