“It will be quite difficult to find a hidden Qin Yun in the massive Huifeng Great World.” The Fiend Ancestor’s destruction body sneered. “However, this Qin Yun is known for abhorring evil. As long as he continues his habit of ridding evil… with my fiendish network all across the Three Realms, I’ll definitely be able to sniff him out!

“This Qin Yun has to die! His Misty Rain Sword will eventually be refined by me.

“If I gain the powers of another Lotus Seed of Fate, my strength will increase once again.”

The Lotus Seed of Fate he recently obtained from Zhurong had made the Fiend Ancestor experience a drastic increase in strength; however, he had only attained the Heavenly Dao realm later in his cultivation. His accumulations were weaker. He would have been at a disadvantage fighting the Dao Ancestors; but due to the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss which augmented him while in the Three Realms, he was at the very least unkillable.

But once he was forced to leave the Three Realms, he would lose the protection of the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss. Hence, he naturally could not miss the power of the Lotus Seed of Fate embedded inside Qin Yun’s Misty Rain Sword.

Huifeng Great World.

“Go.”

In midair, Qin Yun threw out a stone array disk. It dived deep underground and immediately generated connections with other areas. Qin Yun could immediately trigger the massive array which was personally refined by the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure with a single thought.

“Just as Master said, I should first set up the array in any Great World I step into.” Qin Yun smiled. “After the array is set up, I just need to wait for them to fall into the trap.”

With that, Qin Yun left and began ridding the world of evil to accumulate merit.

Having attained his perfected Great Dao, he only had four thousand years left until his twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation! With such a short period of time left, Qin Yun did not believe that he could cultivate to the Heavenly Dao realm no matter how arrogant he was. After all, the Sword Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man suited him the best; yet, he had spent so much time and effort on it. If he were to cultivate in other tougher Great Dao, he was destined to spend even longer.

Therefore, in the short four thousand years, the most important action he needed to undertake to have any hope of transcending the tribulation was to enhance his Intrinsic Flying Sword to a Merit Cardinal treasure. This was the most obvious way of increasing his strength. Secondly, he needed to constantly improving his Misty Rain Array! But clearly, after reaching a brand new level, any improvements would prove difficult.

“I will storm through one Great World after another, ridding them of evil to amass merit. The other mighty figures might be afraid of those with powerful backers, but I’m not,” thought Qin Yun.

He was strong enough. He was at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm!

Furthermore, he was an Itinerant Immortal. The Three Realms knew that Sword Immortal Qin was deranged in this period, so no matter how belligerent and ruthless he acted, the various factions had no intention to fight him.

…

The Huifeng Great World was vast.

Qin Yun traveled the world and attacked whenever he saw unfairness.

He did not deliberately expose his identity. After all, the more he kept a low profile and the more he concealed himself, the less suspicious the Fiend Ancestor would be. Qin Yun believed that even if the fiends could not find him any time soon, they would definitely be able to find him given time! Furthermore, if it dragged on too long, Qin Yun could always ‘accidentally’ allow them to find him.

Seven years passed in a blink of an eye. Qin Yun arrived in the borders of the Wei Nation.

“The Wei Nation is considered quite a huge country in the Huifeng Great World. Its territory spans 150,000 kilometers, equal to a hundred of the Great Chang world. But the sovereign is too tyrannical, causing the nation’s people to live in destitution.” Dressed in ordinary clothes, Qin Yun walked through the main streets and saw refugees in groups. Their skins were sallow and they were thin. They did not even have shoes to wear. Walking with blackened bare feed and dressed in rags, they walked together with women and children.

Occasionally, one would collapse to the ground silently, but would be met with indifference by others. Clearly, they were already accustomed to this.

“A Great World has rich Heaven and Earth spiritual energies. There are no lack of cultivators, so it won’t be difficult to provide food for the people.” Qin Yun looked over and could see the resentment auras rising over the Wei Nation. “The Heavenly Courts does not care for this area. As the Daoists, Buddhists, and Fiends are fighting for supremacy here, they have caused the Huifeng Great World to plunge into utter chaos.”

Qin Yun looked at the surrounding refugees as he gently inhaled.

Invisible forces instantly permeated the refugees around him. Even the ones who had fallen to the ground, and even the one who had just died resumed breathing.

“I’m no longer hungry.”

“I feel energetic.”

“Why am I alright now?”

The refugees discovered that they felt better than ever. They were even cured of their ailments. The dead had even revived.

Life and death was merely a thought.

“It must be a godly immortal.”

“Thank you, Immortal.”

“Thank you, benevolent immortal.”

The refugees around him all knelt down as they kowtowed in gratitude.

Qin Yun was just beside them, but the refugees could not see him at all. As long as a mighty figure did not wish for it to happen, no one could see them even if they were standing right beside them.

“These mortals only wish to live. This Wei Nation’s sovereign…” Qin Yun shook his head gently when he suddenly looked up into the distance. He saw two beams of light flying across.

…

The two beams of light was a pursuit.

The fleeing party was a white-dressed woman. Chasing after her was a black-robed Daoist.

“Go.” The black-robed Daoist cast his Dharma treasure from afar, sending eight tokens smashing over. As the white-dressed woman fled, she used two divine swords to fend off the attacks, but missed one. One of the tokens struck her body.

She plummeted to the grasslands below. She immediately stood up, but could not stop herself from coughing out blood.

“Haha, demon spawn, you won’t escape.” The black-robed Daoist roared with laughter.

The white-dressed woman was beautiful; just one look from her could move any heart. The black-robed Daoist could not help but be enticed by her. “As expected of the legendary nine-tailed fox. Your charms are indeed extraordinary. It’s no wonder His Majesty is so obsessed with you.”

The woman carefully controlled the two swords to surround her. She glared at the black-robed Daoist. “It’s still a question as to who dies today.”

“Are you still trying to sound tough at this moment in time?” The black-robed Daoist scoffed. “As a fox demon, you entered the imperial palace and bewitched His Majesty before attempting to assassinate him! This is a crime punishable by death. I believe you know what awaits you if I were to capture you.”

“The sovereign is tyrannical and leaves his people in destitution. He wholeheartedly worships your Black Wind Fiend Sect and has captured us demons without any regard… Since he won’t allow us demons to live, what’s wrong with me taking his life?” said the woman coldly.

“For what your Fox Immortal Island has done, His Majesty has sent his men to destroy it,” said the black-robed Daoist with a laugh. “As for a mastermind like you, His Majesty has insisted that you be caught. Capturing you would be a meritorious act for me, but… I can spare you and let you leave. I’ll pretend as if I have never met you.”

“You will let me go?” The woman frowned.

“Yes.”

The Daoist gave a sinister laugh as a lewd glint flashed in his eyes. “Weren’t you trying to bewitch His Majesty? Why don’t you try bewitching me and spend the night with me. I’ll pretend as though I never met you and allow you to leave. How about that?”

“Dream on.” The woman scoffed.

“You are not my match. Either you die or you spend a night with me. Make your choice,” said the Daoist as he stroked his beard. According to what he knew, the sovereign had yet to do a thing to the nine-tailed fox immortal before he was met with the assassination. In his rage, he had ordered for her to be captured.

The Daoist thought, “If I were to capture her, it would only benefit His Majesty. If I were to capture her alive and hide her, she would be me mine. A nine-tailed fox immortal is very rare.”

“I don’t have much patience,” said the Daoist. “Would a fox immortal like you have scruples about spending a night with me?”

“Hmph!”

The woman harrumphed coldly as she immediately transformed into a beam of light in a bid to escape again.

“So it appears you are acquiescing after having refused my first overture!” The Daoist’s expression darkened as he waved his hand, sending out the eight tokens again.

“This Daoist…” The woman was anxious. “I can only risk it. Either he dies or I die!”

She had the intention to risk her life.

The Daoist had a compassionate look in his eyes, but his attacks showed none of that. He was bent on gravely injuring her to capture her alive.

“Swoosh!”

Suddenly, a sword tore through the sky.

“Who is it!?” The Daoist’s expression changed. The sword flash was extremely sharp as he hurriedly controlled the eight tokens to defend him as a massive array. The array sealed the area in an impregnable defense.

Pew!

However, the extremely sharp sword beam easily tore through his array formation and penetrated him. He widened his eyes as he roared, “The Black Wind Sect will not let you off.” With that said, he quickly breathed his last while his corpse plummeted to the ground.

The woman was somewhat astounded. She believed that she needed to risk her life in despair, but this sudden turn of events had happened.

She carefully looked over.

A gray-clothed youth flew over. The sword beam in midair drew out a circle before returning to the youth’s scabbard on his back.

“Thank you for helping, Dao Brother,” said the woman in gratitude.

“I was impressed when I heard that you attempted to assassinate the sovereign, so I took action,” said Qin Yun. “I never expected a human Daoist to be riddled with such sins, while a demon like you has so much merit.”

However, the woman was filled with gratitude. “I’m Qing Shuang. Dao Brother, might I know who you are…”
