Urban Invincible Overlord

As Zhou Wanqing stepped into the courtyard, Tong Yunshu, who had been in closed-door cultivation inside the room, immediately jolted awake.

After she and Qin Yanyang chose to settle down here, she spent half a year and consumed a large number of Spirit Stones to buy all kinds of Formation materials, and created a hidden Array here.

This Array was not primarily meant to intimidate others, but to make it easier to sense outsiders approaching.

Back when she and Qin Yanyang left Nanmu Village, they headed all the way south. Leaving the Zhongzhou Territory and entering the Southern South Domain, they learned this was Flame Moon Sect’s territory. The two felt this place was remote and instead well-suited for hiding, so they settled down.

For other cultivators in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, the place they chose to reside in would naturally be based on how abundant the Spiritual Energy was, but Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu did not particularly care about this.

Because the two of them carried quite a number of Top grade Spirit Stones on them, enough to supply their usual cultivation needs.

Since that Gongyang Shan was a member of the Wushen sect, and his master was this child-protecting Mid stage Nascent Soul powerhouse Zhou Wanqing, Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu were naturally cautious and on guard, believing that hiding in this kind of place would make it harder to arouse suspicion and allow them to avoid the Wushen sect’s investigations.

So in order not to attract attention, the Formations Tong Yunshu set up here were all mainly defensive in nature, and she did not set up any Arrays of concealment or Restriction type. Otherwise, if nearby cultivators discovered that the Formation was exquisitely wrought, they would start to suspect them.

But it was not that this Array lacked attack and defensive effects.

Tong Yunshu’s talent in Formation and Rune Tao was extraordinary. The hidden Array she crafted first ensured that when she and Qin Yanyang were in closed-door cultivation in the room, their situation would not be detected by cultivators outside.

Besides that, she also set defensive and attack-type Magic within the Array, but the trigger condition had to be personally activated by her.

Under normal circumstances, as long as a cultivator whose Cultivation Realm did not surpass Tong Yunshu’s appeared here, Tong Yunshu would be able to sense it from three li away.

But today this person had directly entered the airspace above the courtyard; this person’s Cultivation Realm was already far beyond Tong Yunshu’s expectations. Against a powerhouse of such a Realm, this Array likely would not have much effect.

Although Qin Yanyang did not understand Formations well, when Tong Yunshu laid down this Array she had told her of its Power. Now seeing Zhou Wanqing directly enter the core area of the courtyard Formation, she couldn’t help but secretly be shocked and vigilant.

At this moment, hearing Zhou Wanqing report his own name, the two women were instantly seized by boundless terror in their hearts.

How did this man find them?

Shocked as she was, Qin Yanyang reacted quickly and said, "So it is Senior Zhou of the Wushen sect. Senior has come from afar, and we juniors have failed to welcome you from a distance; we beg your pardon. However, regarding the matter Senior mentioned, the two of us truly know nothing. Our Realm is lowly; how would we dare provoke experts of the Wushen sect? Could it be that Senior has mistaken us?"

Tong Yunshu secretly nodded, feeling that Qin Yanyang’s response was very clever.

They were currently in a state of disguise, and their Realm was also suppressed to around Late-stage Foundation Establishment. They felt that at such a Realm state, this Mid stage Nascent Soul powerhouse Zhou Wanqing would indeed think they did not have the ability to kill his disciple.

Moreover, the two were very confident that when they annihilated that Gongyang Shan, there had been no other cultivators present, and they had even destroyed the corpse completely; it was impossible to have left any evidentiary clues.

So when the two saw Zhou Wanqing appear, although they knew the matter might have been exposed and secretly exchanged wary glances, preparing for a desperate life-and-death battle, they still tried to explain. If they could make the other party leave on his own, that would be ideal.

Zhou Wanqing’s gaze swept over the two women. Although he could see that the two had disguised themselves, he could not pierce their true appearances. Hearing Qin Yanyang dare to quibble, he coldly snorted, unleashing a mighty Divine Thought. The terrifying suppression instantly made Tong Yunshu and Qin Yanyang’s state of mind violently tremble, terrified to the extreme, almost ready to prostrate themselves on the ground and kowtow for mercy.

What a powerful Divine Sense suppression!

Is this the terrifying strength of a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse?

Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu were utterly terrified, their hearts on the verge of despair.

Although the two were already at Core Formation Realm Cultivation, and Qin Yanyang’s Combat Power had even approached Middle stage Core Formation status, and among cultivators of the same Realm both women’s overall Combat Power was of the extremely powerful category,

yet at this moment what they faced was a Mid stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Between the two sides there existed a huge gap of several small Realms and one major Realm. Zhou Wanqing relied only on Divine Sense intimidation to make the two feel despair.

"Senior, please quell your anger... I... we juniors truly have been wronged. Senior is famed in the Southern Domain Cultivation World for loving and protecting your disciples. Now that your beloved disciple has been killed, surely you would wish to find the true murderer?" Qin Yanyang hurriedly argued.

Tong Yunshu also quickly said, "Y-yes, Senior, we juniors are but insignificant nobodies, and our deaths are not worth regretting. But... but if you kill us and fail to truly avenge your disciple, allowing the enemy who killed him to continue roaming free, w-would that not let this person secretly laugh at Senior?"

Zhou Wanqing’s gaze swept over the two women coldly, killing intent flashing.

Were these two women taking him for a fool?

Yet inwardly he was extremely astonished.

With his Cultivation Realm, naturally he could see their true cultivation at a glance.

But just now when his Divine Sense suppression rolled over them, although the two women were suppressed, they were still able to speak, which indeed exceeded his expectations.

The strength of these two’s Divine Sense actually surpassed what their Realm should allow.

"Hmph, with death at your doorstep you two still dare to quibble? Heh heh, do you know why I, Zhou Wanqing, have such renown in the Southern Domain Cultivation World today?" Zhou Wanqing laughed coldly.

Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu both shook their heads.

They also understood that since the other party could precisely lock onto their position, he must be employing some secret technique.

The two women were extremely intelligent and had already guessed the general idea.

It had to be that something they had looted from Gongyang Shan’s storage bag was the problem.

But they had carefully inspected everything at the time and discovered no abnormalities.

Could it be that strange Magic Treasure that emanated a sinister aura which the two had never managed to figure out?

Seeing the terror and shock in the two women’s eyes, Zhou Wanqing laughed in satisfaction. "Because every one of my disciples carries a Soul-Loss Attraction Magic Treasure that I have bestowed upon them. As long as these disciples keep it on them, once they are killed, it can record the scene and transmit it before my eyes. Not only that, as long as the enemies who kill my disciples give in to greed and keep this Soul-Loss Attraction by their side, I can use this item to locate them. So long as it is within this Southern Domain world, no matter where you hide, I can precisely lock onto you."

Tong Yunshu and Qin Yanyang were instantly filled with boundless regret.

The problem really did lie in that bizarre Magic Treasure.

They had been careless!

They could only hate that Zhou Wanqing was too crafty, that the Magic Treasure he created was so uncanny and mysterious, making one inexplicably feel anticipation, believing it to be a very mysterious, powerful treasure. No one would be willing to discard it or sell it off, and would usually carry it on their person.

Just half a month ago, the two women had even studied this thing again.

Thinking back now, the two only felt they had been foolish to the extreme.

Walking the dangerous world of the Cultivation World, having even killed a disciple of a powerful Major Sect like the Wushen sect, the two of them had actually failed to be more cautious and had left such a fatal trail for their enemy.

Seeing the regret in the two women’s eyes, Zhou Wanqing felt incomparably pleased.

He especially loved to see this kind of terrified expression people showed when they realized they had been fully outmaneuvered by him.

"To die by my hand, Zhou Wanqing, is your honor as well."

Zhou Wanqing said coldly, "Since you two could easily kill Gongyang Shan, it seems you must have some origin. Why don’t you tell me your Sect background? That way, after I kill you, I can notify your Sect elders so they can come collect your corpses. At the same time, it will let those people in the Southern Domain Cultivation World know that my disciples of Zhou Wanqing are not to be killed by just anyone. Otherwise, I will surely avenge them to the bitter end."
