Chapter 26: Heh, Men!
by Ink HubSensing the aura of the newcomer, even the Sect Master of the Long Spear Sect changed his expression!
He himself was a Second-Grade Golden Core expert, but faced with that kind of pressure, his heart couldn’t help but tremble!
When everyone saw the person clearly, their faces paled instantly!
“It’s the Ghost Wolf Gang Leader, Xue Qi!”
“Heavens! He is a Third-Grade Golden Core expert!”
“Why did he suddenly appear? Does he regret letting us in? We paid two thousand spirit stones to enter; is he going back on his word to kill us?”
“No! What did he say just now? Killed his son? Could it be that kid killed his son?”
“Good kid, brave enough to encompass the heavens!”
“…”
The crowd discussed animatedly.
The group of experts who had arrived here first had all paid the Ghost Wolf Gang two thousand spirit stones to enter. Seeing the Gang Leader Xue Qi suddenly arrive and threaten to kill someone, they were all stunned.
They naturally couldn’t believe that someone dared to kill Xue Qi’s son in this territory!
Even the Long Spear Sect Master hid to the side; Xue Qi was a Third-Grade Golden Core expert!
“Hm?”
Seeing the newcomer, Lu Jin frowned, then shook his head and smiled.
“Your Ghost Wolf Gang bullies others with its power; his death was well-deserved. What, you old fogey want to join your son in the Yellow Springs?”
Hearing Lu Jin’s words, Xue Qi’s face turned incomparably gloomy. With a loud shout, disregarding everything, his Spiritual Energy rolled out, condensing frantically above his head into a giant fist that smashed directly down toward Lu Jin!
“Die for me!!!”
Xue Qi roared. The giant fist contained immense pressure. Experts nearby who didn’t have time to dodge spat out mouthfuls of blood, some dying miserably on the spot!
“Is this it?”
Lu Jin didn’t move at all. A Third-Grade Golden Core expert truly posed no challenge to him now.
Seeing Lu Jin’s inaction, many people turned pale with horror. Clearly, they hadn’t expected him to be so calm. Xue Qi’s attack was completely intended to kill him, holding nothing back; the moment he struck, even the heavens and earth seemed to darken!
Boom!!!
However, in the next second, after a boom passed, when everyone saw a figure shooting backward in an instant, they were petrified on the spot, their mouths hanging open in shock, unable to utter a sound…
“Just a Third-Grade Golden Core, what are you arrogant about?”
Lu Jin shook his head lightly, then lingered no longer, flying toward the distant mountain forest.
The entire process took only a few minutes, but it left an indelible mark in the minds of everyone present!
Too fierce!
That young man must be a super genius from a super sect out for experience!
At this moment, the Ghost Wolf Gang Leader Xue Qi seemed to have all the bones in his body broken. He spat blood wildly from his mouth, his aura withering significantly, his combat power sharply reduced!
When the crowd recovered their senses, quite a few rushed toward Xue Qi, their expressions changing from astonishment to schadenfreude!
“Hahaha! Xue Qi! The helmsman of the Ghost Wolf Gang, you didn’t expect this, did you? You also have such a day!”
“Spit out what you ate from me!”
“Right! All these years we submitted willingly only because of your Ghost Wolf Gang’s despotic power. Now, naturally, we’ll take your life while you’re sick!”
“It feels so good to kick someone when they’re down! Quickly hand over all the treasures on your body, or we’ll tear you to pieces!”
“…”
The scene became extremely chaotic. A group of experts gathered around, and Xue Qi felt like dying!
“You dare…”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Xue Qi wanted to rely on his accumulated prestige to resist a bit, but as soon as he did, he immediately suffered a beating.
So much so that, after this repeated several times, he was actually beaten to death by experts from various factions…

One incense stick of time later.
The crowd here dispersed, but another figure descended.
When she saw the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit tree completely bare, her eyes instantly turned gloomy!
“Which bastard dared to snatch my Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit!”
“Don’t let me find you, or I will peel your skin, pull your tendons, crush your bones, and scatter your ashes!”
The woman appearing here was none other than Wang Min.
The reason she came here was also to find the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit. Alas, she had delayed due to her cultivation and healing her Junior Brother Yang Dianfeng.
Of course, she hadn’t expected someone else to beat her to the punch so quickly!
Seeing the tragic scene at the site, her expression twisted slightly:
“No matter what level of strength you possess, if you dare oppose my Scarlet Moon Holy Land, you have only a dead end!”
After gritting her teeth for a while, she didn’t leave but sat cross-legged on the spot. Her nose flared, and strange red wisps of aura began to emanate from her nostrils, dissipating into the air.
About half an hour later, a sharp light suddenly flashed in her gloomy eyes, and she looked toward a direction in the mountain forest:
“You can’t get away!”
Buzz…
With that, she vanished from the spot.

Meanwhile, after obtaining the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit, Lu Jin traveled all the way, seeking a quiet place undisturbed by anyone to offer it to Empress Qinglian.
Leaving this mountain forest, Lu Jin arrived among the woods of Myriad Sword Sect’s back mountain.
After all, this was a place he was familiar with. Long ago, he had even buried many spirit stones here for use in refining arrays. It was just that later, these had fallen into disuse.
However, upon returning, he found that the spirit stones he had buried here as array nodes were actually still there, and he nodded with satisfaction.
“The Empress needs to cultivate, so naturally, no one can disturb her. The number of spirit stones here isn’t small. Although the array I refined isn’t incredibly powerful, its defensive power is decent… Let’s do it here!”
Lu Jin finished speaking and immediately began to restore and activate the old array.
As buzzing sounds echoed, light curtains shot into the sky, quickly shrouding this space.
“Empress, is it okay now?” Lu Jin asked.
“Empress?”
Empress Qinglian’s voice transmitted out:
“Previously, you always addressed me as Lord Empress. The time before that, you called me Empress Qinglian, and this Seat didn’t mind. Now, you address this Seat directly as Empress?”
Lu Jin frowned: “Uh…”
He didn’t explain.
“Heh, men!”
Lu Jin: “…”
“Lord Empress, please accept this Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit!”
Empress Qinglian said indifferently: “Mm.”
Then the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit disappeared directly from Lu Jin’s hand.
Lu Jin frowned but said nothing more, sitting cross-legged directly to stand guard for Empress Qinglian.
At this moment, the instant Empress Qinglian obtained the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit, her peerless countenance changed instantly!
“Hehehe! Fantastic! The Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit! Hopefully, this Seat’s Divine Soul can recover a bit. This feeling of being suppressed by that bastard Heavenly Dao is truly too unpleasant, too unpleasant!”
Crunch!
After speaking, she opened her small cherry mouth and took a big bite out of the Soul-Breaking Delusion Fruit.
