Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Winds and Clouds Rising
"Ding! Killed a Foundation Establishment third layer cultivator, obtained 325 experience points!"
The experience points for a Foundation Establishment cultivator are so few!
Qin Jun pursed his lips, it seemed that leveling up through monster killing wasn't going to be easy; otherwise, he could have simply taken Daji and Roaring Sky Dog to provoke those in the Golden Elixir Realm or the Ascending Mortal Realm.
However, to gain experience points, he first had to incite hatred from the opponents.
"What should we do? He killed the eldest Young Master and the elder, we're definitely not their match!"
"What else can we do? Of course, wait for the clan leader to take action personally!"
"I feel like the Cheng Family has kicked an iron board this time!"
"We should just wait and see how things unfold!"
The surrounding cultivators discussed among themselves, most of whom were guest officials invited by the Cheng Family and didn't feel a strong sense of belonging to the clan.
Seeing this, Qin Jun and the others continued to walk forward. At this moment, many civilians had gathered in front of the gate, and because of the angle, they could all see the bodies of Cheng Jie and the middle-aged man in grey.
Cheng Jie was well-known in Qingtan City, though he was universally cursed at.
His death caused the civilians to buzz with heated discussions like a pot boiling over, and the spies from various clans hurried back to report. In no time, the entire Qingtan City was in turmoil.
...
The City Lord's mansion.
"What? Someone caused trouble in the Cheng Family residence and killed Cheng Jie?" Chen Zhanjian asked in shock, standing before him was an ordinary-looking man, the type who could be lost in a crowd never to be found.
"Yes, at the same time, one of the Cheng Family's elders was also killed, by two men, two women, and a black dog," the spy nodded, his face full of strangeness and shock.
Standing next to Chen Zhanjian, Chen Shuli suddenly became excited, clasping his fists, he said, "Father, they are the people who saved me yesterday!"
He didn't doubt the truth of the events; a super-strong expert who could easily kill Xiahou En would definitely have no trouble destroying the Cheng Family!
"Father, let's bring out all the collected evidence of the Cheng Family's crimes!" Chen Shuli said, barely containing his excitement.
"Why?" Chen Zhanjian asked with confusion.
"Because he is the Third Prince, Qin Jun!"
Chen Shuli smiled calmly, wearing an expression of Resourceful Planning, while his words made Chen Zhanjian's pupils constrict.
...
"Bad news! Clan leader! Something terrible has happened!"
Cheng Zhan, who was inside the house cultivating, was suddenly disturbed by a servant who rushed in with panic, he frowned and scolded, "What's the matter that you're in such a panic, what lack of decorum!"
Any cultivator interrupted during their cultivation would be in a bad mood.
"Someone has broken in, the eldest Young Master and the fourth elder have been killed!"
"What did you say!"
Cheng Zhan sprang to his feet like an enraged lion.
The death of his son was something no one could accept!
"Where are they?" Cheng Zhan asked angrily. Regardless of the reason, the other party had to pay a blood debt with blood!
"They are heading this way…"
With a whoosh, Cheng Zhan flew out like the wind, the servant was sent tumbling to the ground.
Elsewhere, Qin Jun and his company walked with confidence, followed by dozens of guest official cultivators and over a hundred clan members. They dared only to follow and no one dared to make a move; the scene was quite spectacular.
"A bunch of cowards!"
Chang Qianqian covered her mouth and laughed, her face full of excitement. She had never experienced such thrilling events before in the Xuanling Sect.
Chang Hao, though he did not speak, fixed his gaze on Qin Jun, realizing that he could no longer see through him and starting to regret his actions.
He really shouldn't have offended him!
To exterminate an entire clan over a disagreement, that was the sort of ruthless man he did not want to provoke.
If Qin Jun had been aware of his thoughts, he surely would have cried injustice. It wasn't that he was cruel; it was the Cheng Family that courted death, prompting the system to issue a mission!
If Qin Jun were truly cruel, the nearby guest cultivators and Cheng Family clanspeople would already be corpses.
"Leave the enemies barely alive later, let me handle them,"
Qin Jun instructed Daji, and as for the Roaring Sky Dog, such a battle was not worth its effort, nor did it care to make one.
For this, Qin Jun even harbored some concerns, if he were to summon the Supreme Heaven Great Sage, would he obey my command?
However, because of his profound admiration for Monkey Brother, Qin Jun was determined to summon him no matter what!
That's the true idol of the Huaxia descendants!
"Who killed my son!"
Amidst this, an angry shout came from the courtyard ahead; Cheng Zhan stood there like a towering iron pagoda, imposing and fearsome.
The formidable aura of the fourth layer of Foundation Establishment caused both Chang Hao and Chang Qianqian to be moved, while Qin Jun narrowed his eyes.
Despite being at the same fourth layer of Foundation Establishment, he could feel the gap between himself and Cheng Zhan was more than trivial—if they were to duel fairly, he would be killed in an instant!
Qin Jun was not disheartened; he would become invincible in his rank sooner or later.
"Your Cheng Family has committed too many evils; today, you must disband!"
Qin Jun declared righteously, infuriating Cheng Zhan to nearly steam with anger. Immediately, he stomped his foot and, like an arrow, shot towards Qin Jun.
The two were a dozen meters apart, but for Cheng Zhan, it was just a matter of two breaths.
His right hand formed into a claw, with the fingers turning a green hue that reflected a metallic cold gleam under the sunlight.
"Another spell?"
Qin Jun thought enviously; though he had the cultivation of Foundation Establishment, he lacked the abilities of that rank.
Daji stood in front of Qin Jun, scorn written in her gaze as she looked at Cheng Zhan.
Cheng Zhan, seeing a stunning woman daring to block him, felt his killing intent deepen. In his view, Qin Jun was insulting him, having a woman obstruct him!
"You little worm!"
Daji raised her right hand and waved her sleeve, sending a gust of wind straight at Cheng Zhan, shocking him into a frenzied change of color. He wanted to defend against it, but it was futile.
To the horror of the guest cultivators and clan members, Cheng Zhan was blown sky-high. Chang Qianqian and Chang Hao, being merely of the energy refining realm, were forced back by the fierce wind.
Qin Jun squinted his eyes, filled with envy at the prowess of a Transforming Void Realm expert!
With mere gestures, they wielded such immense power.
Whoosh whoosh!
Daji rapidly snapped two fingers in the air, sending two red beams punctuated with the sound of tearing air towards Cheng Zhan, piercing through his shoulders. Blood sprayed wildly, and unimaginable pain caused Cheng Zhan to let out a chilling scream.
With a throat as robust as that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even Qin Jun covered his ears. Probably a third of Qingtan City could hear it.
With a thud, Cheng Zhan, who was once so imposing, crashed into the ground, causing Qin Jun and the others to wince at the sight.
His legs were likely to be crippled.
"Young Master, you can finish him with your magic weapon now," Daji said softly with a smile, moving back to Qin Jun's side. Her fragrance entered his nose, giving him a jolt.
Qin Jun smiled and pulled out the Desert Eagle, walking towards Cheng Zhan.
At that moment, Cheng Zhan felt as if a myriad of insects were crawling and biting him, particularly in the shoulders where the pain was unbearable. Sweat covered his face as he stared at Qin Jun and asked through gritted teeth, "Who are you, exactly?"
