Chapter 354: Traitor, surrender your life!
Very soon, everyone rushed into the Forbidden Divine Mountain.
Yes, they all went in.
If not, what did they come here for? It can’t be just to hang around, right? That’s a lie to the ghosts.
And when the sky returned to calm, the space rippled, and a figure in white slowly appeared.
It was Qin Chuan.
He curled his lips and murmured:
"That old man Qingyang is really generous, not only giving me cultivation, but also a batch of ’backing points’."
He could foresee.
With Qingyang Zhenren’s bounty, a large number of ancient warriors would soon come to pinch Qin Zi, the "easy target."
Of course, the easy target is just an illusion. Once they really get close, they’ll realize it’s not soft at all, it’s as hard as iron!!
"System, buy insurance."
Qin Chuan said calmly.
"Ding! The Forbidden Divine Mountain contains many dangers, for ten backing points, you’ll be safe and sound!"
Qin Chuan frowned and asked, "Wasn’t it about three points last time, why is it so much more expensive?"
"Ding! As time progresses, the Forbidden Divine Mountain becomes increasingly dangerous, so the insurance cost naturally rises. But please trust that buying this system’s insurance is a sure win without loss!"
The system replied calmly.
"Alright, buy it."
Qin Chuan nodded.
"Ding! Transaction complete, from now on you can walk sideways in the Forbidden Divine Mountain like a crab, and not get beaten to death for showing off!"
The system said excitedly.
"I won’t get beaten to death, but could I get humiliated?"
Qin Chuan asked.
"Ding! It’s possible, to avoid being humiliated, for respectable showing off, you can buy an additional dignity insurance for just five backing points."
The system said.
"Sigh, it’s not easy earning backing points..."
Qin Chuan sighed, but before he could finish, a slew of notification sounds rang out.
"Ding! Your son slapped Li Gou Dan of the Celestial Sect realm, auto-recharged three backing points."
"Ding! Your son slapped Li Er Shua of the Celestial Palace realm, auto-recharged six backing points."
"Ding! Your son slapped Liu Neng of the Celestial Palace realm, auto-recharged six backing points."
Qin Chuan’s eyes widened.
In such a short time, the fifteen backing points he spent were earned back!
Thus, the sigh he was about to mutter never came, he cleared his throat and said, "Buy the dignity insurance."
After saying that, he felt an invisible contemptuous gaze upon him, which was the system’s gaze.
But he didn’t bat an eye.
As if nothing happened.
"Ding! Dignity insurance purchased successfully!"
The system said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan, without saying a word, dived headfirst into the Forbidden Divine Mountain and began his reckless endeavors.
"Pop!"
He seemed to pierce through a thin film, then he felt himself entering a spatial tunnel.
Initially narrow.
Only enough for a person.
After walking dozens of steps, it suddenly became bright and clear!
A vast and vibrant world lay before his eyes, this world was bizarre, with size inversions.
He actually saw countless ancient trees, growing like bonsai on the ground, only as tall as knees.
In the pocket-sized forest, tiny wild beasts the size of frogs were running and hunting.
And the surrounding grass, however, was like towering trees, reaching hundreds of feet, blocking out the sun and sky.
On many of the tall grass, there were enormous insects crawling, even ants were as big as elephants!
"Boom boom boom!!"
"Help me, ah!"
In the distance, the sounds of battle and screams arose, as a group of giant insects surrounded and attacked a few ancient strongmen.
These insects were peculiar.
There were giant spiders with flaming wings, spitting out white web-like silk, swooshing across the Celestial Vault like a waterfall.
And giant seven-spotted ladybugs, the seven spots on their backs emitting sharp beams of light, cutting across the firmament!
Plus giant scorpions, swinging their tails like long iron chains into the sky, aiming to bind everyone.
"Help!"
"Save me!"
Upon seeing Qin Chuan, the besieged ancient warriors’ eyes lit up, and they desperately called for help.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan waved his hand, and a beam of light swept across.
"Crunch!"
"Puff puff puff!"
The giant insects were severed one by one, their shells shattered, spewing out green liquid, and the stench was overwhelming.
"Thank you, sir, for saving us. May I ask..." The rescued people quickly flew over, seemingly trying to cozy up.
But Qin Chuan couldn’t be bothered with them and turned away directly.
He disappeared in an instant at the horizon.
Usually, when the strong help the weak once, there tends to be a second time, and eventually, the weak may start to take advantage.
He only helped because they were humanoid creatures, not intending to drag anyone along the way.
Qin Chuan continued flying.
He actually had no particular goal, just came in to find Qin Zi. After all, with just this precious son, he had to be protected.
"Ding, your son has humiliated Jiang Taigong of the Lingxiao realm, automatically adding nine ’father points’!"
"Ding, your son has humiliated Zuo Siqiang of the Celestial Sect realm, adding three ’father points’."
"Ding, your son..."
As he flew, continuous system notifications chimed, and his ’father points’ kept rising.
This put Qin Chuan in a great mood.
These ’father points’ were earned through his own skills; if he hadn’t conned Daoist Qingye back then, he wouldn’t have today’s gains.
This is prosperity achieved through hard work!
"Buzz, buzz, buzz."
In Qin Chuan’s hand was a piece of Jade Talisman, something akin to a tracker. He had previously infused Qin Zi’s blood into it, so he could locate Qin Zi anytime.
"Friend, please wait."
Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded.
Qin Chuan turned his head to see an old man with an immortal-like demeanor, dressed in white, with a simple smile.
"Who are you?"
Qin Zi asked, puzzled.
"Haha, I am Xuan Yuzi. Greetings, friend." The old man cupped his hands to Qin Chuan, courteous and polite.
"Xuan Yuzi?"
Qin Chuan’s eyes slightly flickered.
Over the past two years, from the intelligence of the Celestial Eternal Race and the Human Race Holy Hall, he had heard of the name Xuan Yuzi.
This person was an ancient powerhouse, very strong at his peak, with an unpredictable temperament.
"What does the Daoist need from me?"
Qin Chuan asked warily.
"Hehe, I see that you, friend, have an extraordinary aura, very young in appearance, but with exceptional strength. If I’m not mistaken, you must be this era’s top expert—Qin Chuan, correct?"
Xuan Yuzi smiled kindly.
"That’s me."
Qin Chuan looked at him, waiting for his next words.
"Daoist Qingye of the Celestial Palace is chasing your son. Your son must have already sent a distress signal. You must be very anxious, right?"
Xuan Yuzi smiled strategically.
"Yes, quite anxious."
Qin Chuan nodded, eager for a breakthrough, awaiting Daoist Qingye to pose a threat to Qin Xiaozhu.
"Haha, friend need not worry, for I’ve just tricked Daoist Qingye, and he’s now trapped in an Array. It’ll be three to five years before he can get out."
Xuan Yuzi stroked his beard, looking pleased with himself, as if saying, "No need to thank me."
"What?!"
Qin Chuan’s face suddenly stiffened.
This old man buried his big fat sheep in a pit? How was he supposed to shear the sheep now? How to break through?
He took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to smash someone, and rasped, "We’ve never met, so why treat me like this?"
Exactly!
We have no grievance or enmity. Why do this to me?!!
Xuan Yuzi sensed something was off in Qin Chuan’s tone, his expression shifted slightly, but he still laughed it off, saying:
"Haha, once unfamiliar, twice acquainted! I merely heard of your experiences and believed you not fit for oblivion. I wanted to forge a good connection."
Qin Chuan took a deep breath, his face turning completely dark, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "This is more than a good connection, it’s a colossal karmic burden!!"
"Ah? What do you mean?"
Xuan Yuzi was somewhat puzzled.
"You scoundrel, prepare to die!!"
Qin Chuan roared, a massive Wolf Fang Club appearing in his hand, and he angrily swung it down.
"What is friend doing?!"
Xuan Yuzi was startled by Qin Chuan’s sudden attack and quickly retreated.
"Boom!!"
The enormous Wolf Fang Club hit the ground like a mountain, causing the earth to shake, and cracks spread out like a web.
