Chapter 488: How Dare You?!

Hao Ren stared at this beautiful lady and vaguely remembered that she was the sect master of Qin Yin, one of the three small sects nearby. As for the person who was on her knees, she was probably a disciple of the sect.

Living in Ethereal Summit actually meant that Hao Ren had taken away this spiritual valley owned by all three sects before. However, since the three sects believed that a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was living in the valley, they didn’t dare to fight against it and were very respectful.

As long as Xie Yujia needed some material and announced it, all three sects, especially Qin Yin sect, would try their best to get them.

Hao Ren had observed the three small sects recently and found that they were well-behaved and quiet compared to other sects on Fifth Heaven. All that they focused on was training their own disciples. Although they would have conflicts from time to time, they never tried to provoke other sects.

“What is going on?” Hao Ren looked at the sect master of Qin Yin and asked.

“It was like this…” The sect master of Qin Yin faced Hao Ren with respect and explained, “Yesterday, Kongtong Sect which is 250 kilometers away suddenly attacked us and robbed all the Foundation Establishment Pills and Beauty Pills that were rewarded to us. All the disciples of Qin Yin Sect tried to defend, and even Seven Star Sect and Qiong Hua sect offered their help. However, we still lost to the masters from Kongtong Sect.

She looked at Hao Ren and realized that there was no change on his face, so she kept going, “Wu Yan is a disciple of Qin Yin Sect, and she just reached Core Formation Realm. However, those evil cultivators damaged her golden core. I, Liu Yan, wish that you could help to cure Wu Yan!”

The sect master of Qin Yin was about to get on her knees in front of Hao Ren as she was talking.

Hao Ren looked very young, but the sect master of Qin Yin didn’t dare to look down upon him. From what she knows, a great cultivator of Nascent Soul Realm lived in the Herb King Valley, and she had at least a male disciple and two female disciples

“This young man doesn’t seem powerful at all, so he might be a disciple of that great Nascent Soul Realm cultivator,” the sect master of Qin Yin thought and didn’t dare to neglect Hao Ren.

After all, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was too mysterious to a small sect like Qin Yin. They couldn’t take the risk even though this young man might just be a little disciple.

“Did you suffer any casualties?” Hao Ren asked with a cold expression.

“Six disciples died, and two were seriously injured,” Liu Yan answered in a low voice.

“Humph…” Hao Ren snorted.

Liu Yan looked at Hao Ren anxiously; she didn’t know what that snort meant.

“Is he angry that we are coming to him for this incident? Does he think that this incident is too small for the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to care?” the sect master of Qin Yin thought.

To a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, small sects on Fifth Heaven were as weak as insects. They could wipe out a small sect with just one finger.

If this Nascent Soul Realm cultivator in the Herb King Valley wasn’t kind to Qin Yin sect and didn’t often give them elixir pills, the sect master of Qin Yin wouldn’t dare to come here because of the deaths of her disciples.

“Are you lying?” Hao Ren looked at Liu Yan and asked.

After hearing Hao Ren’s questions, Liu Yan looked at Hao Ren anxiously. “Everything I said is true. There is absolutely no lie! I would never lie to Master! Please investigate!”

The female disciple who was kneeling in front of the valley in sorrow and was too scared to interrupt suddenly raised her head and said, “As long as Master is willing to avenge for my sisters, I, Wu Yan, is willing to be your cauldron and help you increase your realm!”

Cauldron was a term in dual-cultivation. It was where the female cultivator sacrifices all her cultivation strength to make the male cultivator improve in strength. To a female cultivator, after being a cauldron, her foundation and future would be ruined.

“This is a detox elixir pill. Crush it, and you can use it to cure injuries. This is an essence replenishment pill which helps with recovery. Here is a foundation establishment pill that helps with stabilizing realms.” Hao Ren took three elixir pills and handed them to Liu Yan.

“Thank you for granting us the elixir pills!” Liu Yan was moved to tears, and she could finally let go of the breath she was holding in.

“Even the elixir pills given by the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator’s disciple are excellent level 4 elixir pills!” she thought.

“Here are some more essence replenishment pills. Keep them with you and give them to the other injured disciples.” Hao Ren put some more elixir pills in Liu Yan’s hand.

All the elixir pills that Xie Yujia gave Hao Ren were the best. Therefore, the elixir pills he took out of his necklace were all level 4; none of them were level 3 elixir pills.

After seeing that the sect master of Qin Yin was too excited to say anything, Hao Ren looked at the female cultivator who was still on her knees and asked, “Where can I find Kongtong Sect?”

“On the Yellow Dragon Mountain which is 250 kilometers in the west,” Wu Yan raised her head and said determinedly.

“Ok.” Hao Ren nodded and entered the valley.

Wu Yan who was still kneeling outside the valley looked at her sect master, feeling confused about Hao Ren’s reaction.

Only a little while after, Hao Ren came out of the valley.

He now changed to a traditional robe on Fifth Heaven and a pair of ordinary shoes. There was also a longsword on his back and a flying sword in his hand.

“Oh my G.o.d, Zhao Yanzi even took away their shoes,” Hao Ren thought as he walked out of the valley.

The young disciple, Wu Yan, and the sect master of Qin Yin, Liu Yan, both looked at Hao Ren in surprise.

“I don’t know that place. Come with me and show me the way.” The flying sword in Hao Ren’s hand seemed to have a soul of its own as it flew below Hao Ren and took him into the air.

Wu Yan paused for a second before nodding determinedly. “Alright!”

“Come on!” Hao Ren said to Wu Yan.

Wu Yan got on Hao Ren’s flying sword with caution.

This flying sword was of good quality. Even though Zhen Congming would never be interested in it, it was good enough for Hao Ren to use as a disguise.

What Zhao Yanzi ‘robbed’ could be useful sometimes.

Whoosh…

A streak of white light appeared, and Hao Ren instantly flew thousands of meters away with Wu Yan.

Liu Yan watched Hao Ren disappear in the distance and was surprised. She didn’t expect that this young man could be so incredible.

Countless sects filled up Fifth Heaven. Even the sect masters didn’t know how many sects were there. All the sects were roughly divided into four tiers.

The first-tier sects on Fifth Heaven were affiliated with the sects on Sixth Heaven. For example, White Sand Sect was affiliated to Sky Mountain sect which was on Sixth Heaven.

The second-tier sects were a.s.sociated with first-tier sects, which meant that they had a little connection to the sects on Sixth Heaven, and they were still considered powerful.

The third-tier sects had nothing to do with the sects on Sixth Heaven at all. Among those sects, they were grouped based on their strength. Battles and killings happened very frequently.

The fourth-tier sects were small sects like Qin Yin Sect that occupied a small area, and the number of disciples they had was limited as well.

If Qin Yin Sect, Qiong Hua Sect, and Seven Stars Sect merged, they would barely make a third-tier sect.

Kongtong Sect, the sect that attacked Qin Yin Sect this time, was a second-tier sect on Fifth Heaven. It used to be the same size as Sky Mountain Sect when it was still on land.

However, several generations of its sect masters didn’t attempt to make progress, which caused the decline in its power. Moreover, most of its masters died during the great war in the cultivation world that happened hundreds of years ago, and this sect wasn’t qualified to enter Sixth Heaven. As a result, it could only stay on Fifth Heaven as a first-tier sect.

Slowly, it deteriorated into second-tier. All it did was to take advantage of third-tier and fourth-tier sects.

Wu Yan was one of the most talented disciples in Qin Yin Sect. Before Kongtong Sect attacked them for the elixir pills, she just reached the Core Formation Realm by taking a foundation establishment pill given by the Herb King Valley.

Foundation establishment pills were extremely effective for Qi Refinement Realm cultivators to reach Foundation Establishment Realm, and they were also useful for reaching the Core Formation Realm. Since Xie Yujia gave elixir pills to Qin Yin Sect, the number of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators had increased a lot.

Wu Yan became the second Core Formation Realm cultivator other than the sect master, which triggered Kongtong Sect’s greediness, resulting in them coming here to steal the cultivation resources.

“Someone from your Qin Yin Sect got injured a while ago?” Hao Ren asked as they flew to the west.

“Master, my senior sister, Ye Su, was hurt by a nearby sect when she went to the mountains to collect herbs for Master. Thanks to your elixir pill, she was able to keep her cultivation strength,” Wu Yan replied with great respect.

“How was she during the attack from Kongtong Sect?” Hao Ren asked.

“Master, the other person who got seriously injured alongside me was my senior sister,” Wu Yan said.

“Em.” Hao Ren remained silent.

The law of jungles applied to Fifth Heaven as well. Even female cultivators had to face the brutal compet.i.tion.

“Actually…” Wu Yan said after a few seconds of hesitation, “This was not the first time that we got injured. Sometimes, the injuries weren’t that serious, so we didn’t want to bother Master for help.”

Hao Ren nodded and kept silent.

Qin Yin Sect was the most earnest when collecting spiritual herbs for Ethereal Summit, which would obviously cause conflicts with other sects in the area.

Xie Yujia didn’t like to argue or fight with others. Therefore, when she saw the disciples of Qin Yin Sect getting injured while collecting herbs, she would give them more elixir pills as compensation, and the idea of revenge never crossed her mind.

As for Qin Yin Sect, the disciples never expected that the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would seek justice for them. They were thankful already when they got elixir pills.

Standing on the flying sword, Wu Yan looked at Hao Ren’s face and didn’t say anything.

What she didn’t know was that even though Hao Ren looked calm and cool, he was mad deep inside. The cultivators of Qin Yin Sect were all females who never stirred up any conflicts. When they were collecting spiritual herbs, they were trying to find them in the wilderness.

Therefore, it was unreasonable that other sects kept hurting them.

Especially this time when Kongtong Sect came to Qin Yin Sect like robbers. They seriously hurt two disciples and killed six!

If Qin Yin Sect didn’t try its best to defend and didn’t get help from Seven Star Sect and Qiong Hua Sect, their losses would be even worse.
