Chapter 211 – It Turns Out the Arrow God and Sword God Are Fellow Disciples!

“I am indeed, junior!”

In the courtyard, Qin Yang cupped his hands toward Liu Wushuang above, speaking with unshakable composure, “Might I ask why you’ve come seeking me, senior?”

Since the other party had come prepared.

Why should he fear in the slightest?

When it came to layered disguises, Liu Wushuang simply couldn’t see through them!

He thought he had reached the fifth layer.

But in reality, he was only at the second…

“Hmph, you Qin boy certainly have some tricks up your sleeve.”

Liu Wushuang descended into the courtyard, flicked his silk sleeves, and glanced sideways at the dissipating House-Protecting Array: “This protective formation is quite profound. I nearly fell victim to your stumbling block. Impressive technique.”

“You flatter me, senior.”

Qin Yang tossed the Starstone in his hand, shaking his head slightly:

“Just some casual research I’ve dabbled in, nothing worthy of proper attention. Merely a means to guard against sneak attacks by Heretical Cultists.”

“Heh, quite the defensive measure indeed.”

Hearing this, Liu Wushuang’s mouth twitched as he recalled the scene of breaking the formation earlier.

Had Qin Yang not emerged when he did.

He would have truly resorted to forcibly dismantling the array…

As he was lost in thought.

“Senior, your esteemed presence tonight surely means you have matters to inquire about.”

Qin Yang bowed again with another salute, interrupting his reverie, and said solemnly: “Please speak plainly.”

“Hmph, very well.”

Liu Wushuang glanced at him dismissively, “Crafty monkey, you’re truly shrewd. I’ve certainly broadened my horizons today.”

Then he said indifferently: “I won’t beat around the bush with a junior like you. I came to ask about the Jianghai Arrow God… What exactly is his relationship with your master?”

“Jianghai Arrow God?”

Hearing this, Qin Yang slightly furrowed his brow, his mind rapidly working on a solution.

Though the information was scarce.

With just a bit of deduction.

He could roughly piece together the general thread of information.

“So this old fellow came to inquire about the Arrow God, and he knows nothing at all…”

This was the perfect opportunity to bluff!

With this thought.

Qin Yang cupped his hands and continued his practiced deception solemnly: “Jianghai Arrow God? What business do you have with my Martial Uncle?”

“Martial Uncle?!”

Liu Wushuang was taken aback upon hearing this, “He and your master are fellow disciples?!”

The implications were overwhelming!

Instantly, Liu Wushuang felt somewhat dazed.

Wasn’t the Jianghai Sword God a rogue cultivator?

Before he set out, the Alliance Lord had specifically reminded him that the other party might be a sectless rogue cultivator.

Even the Commander’s speculation was identical!

But now, after hearing Qin Yang’s words, everything was instantly overturned…

“So he’s not a rogue cultivator after all…”

Liu Wushuang pondered, “What level must the master behind someone who taught both Jianghai Gods be?… Could he be a Celestial Venerable Realm expert?”

As he thought, his curiosity grew stronger and stronger.

“……”

Qin Yang watched his contemplative expression, narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat speechless internally.

He had only spoken a few sentences.

How had this old man already fallen into silent standby?

His psychological defenses were truly lacking!

If he ends up having a breakdown later… would the system still acknowledge it?!

“Then where is your Martial Uncle now?”

At this moment, Liu Wushuang looked up again, gazing at Qin Yang and asking: “I have urgent matters to discuss with him…”

“You seek him?”

Qin Yang pursed his lips upon hearing this: “But you still haven’t stated your purpose for seeking him? Without clarity, this junior cannot act recklessly.”

“Who gave you so many questions when sent to fetch someone?”Liu Wushuang’s face darkened with anger.

One must understand.

Ever since the death of Vermillion Bird Earth Venerable.

Both the Beast God Sect and the Alliance Lord believed he was the one who struck the blow—a massive black cauldron of blame had been dumped on him.

If he didn’t find that Jianghai Arrow God soon… this false accusation would turn real, and he’d truly become the scapegoat.

At this thought.

Liu Wushuang’s anger flared up instantly.

“Get your Martial Uncle out here! Stop playing tricks with this venerable one!”

He glared at Qin Yang, gritting his teeth as he roared: “This venerable one will teach him a proper lesson! How could a junior like you meddle in grievances between seniors?”

As his voice fell.

Boom!

The surrounding Star Pressure suddenly intensified, flowers and plants in the courtyard withered, and a fierce wind swept through.

“?”

Qin Yang’s hair was disheveled, his face full of confusion.

He was completely baffled!

What…

Grievances?!

From start to finish, he had only shot one arrow—when had he ever provoked this person?

If he hadn’t acted then, Elder Li and the others would have long been on the Beast Tide’s memorial list!

Thinking this.

Qin Yang spoke up directly to placate him:

“Senior, please calm down! My Martial Uncle can definitely be found, but before that, you should at least explain the whole story to this junior. The situation was critical at the time, which is why my Martial Uncle took action.”

“If you’re in the right, this junior will surely help you find him!”

His words were calm and reasonable.

The Star Pressure in the courtyard indeed decreased slightly.

“Discuss with a junior like you?”

Liu Wushuang frowned, sizing up Qin Yang up and down. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to explain in detail, but this involved the Blood Spirit Contract.

Too many matters were involved, too broad.

The more this junior knew, the greater the danger he would face.

“Hmph, why should this Supreme discuss matters with you?!”

Considering this, Liu Wushuang simply continued his intimidating act.

He directly applied Star Power, gathering Star Pressure.

The next moment.

The recently dissipated Star Pressure gathered again, fully bearing down on Qin Yang.

Crack…

The ground collapsed and fractured!

Star Pressure capable of knocking out an Acquired Realm practitioner descended!

“Now you’ll talk, won’t you?”

Liu Wushuang raised an eyebrow, looking at Qin Yang before him.

At this moment, Qin Yang wore a pained expression, veins bulging on his neck as he struggled to straighten up in the courtyard.

“Good lad!”

Seeing this, Liu Wushuang felt a hint of admiration.

To withstand the Star Pressure and stand up.

This disciple of the Jianghai Sword God indeed had backbone!

“Still not planning to talk? When this venerable one orders you to do something, just obey. Why torment yourself? The next wave of Star Pressure will be even stronger, even if it doesn’t injure you…”

“…No!”

Qin Yang hissed through gritted teeth, still wearing an extremely pained expression as if truly crushed by the Star Pressure.

But in reality…

This acting was quite draining!

Such level of Star Pressure covering him was nothing serious—like a breeze to the Acquired Realm, a strong wind to the Innate Realm, and only barely noticeable at the Grandmaster Realm.

As for Supreme Realm Star Pressure.

This old man wouldn’t be arrogant enough to go that far.

Using that level of power on a junior would not only lose him dignity but also face. Qin Yang had precisely figured out this mentality.

From the very beginning.

Liu Wushuang had already been thoroughly fooled.

…….

In the courtyard.

The two fell silent.

The Star Pressure around Qin Yang remained, but he still didn’t make a sound.

“Hmph, such strong willpower! This venerable one will give you a bit more!”Liu Wushuang frowned, feeling quite surprised. He once again extended his finger, pointing toward Qin Yang’s position.

The next moment.

The Star Pressure of the Innate Realm descended.

The ground cracked with a crunching sound. In Liu Wushuang’s eyes, the intensity and range of this Star Pressure far exceeded Qin Yang’s capacity to endure. No matter how talented he was, he was now in excruciating pain!

“Still unwilling to speak?”

“…No.”

Qin Yang slightly bent his knees.

His expression feigned increasing distortion as he gritted his teeth and stared at Liu Wushuang before him, maintaining his pained expression.

He was putting in tremendous effort!

His acting skills had reached a new level!

If he kept pretending like this, he might even win an Oscar. At the same time, his impression of Liu Wushuang grew even more unfavorable.

Pah!

Who said this guy was a good person?

This was downright malicious!!

Wasn’t it a bit excessive to treat a junior like this?

Amid his thoughts.

The cracks on the ground widened. Qin Yang looked down and realized that this was approaching the peak of the Innate Realm. If he endured any longer…

He might give himself away.

“It’s about time.”

Thinking this, Qin Yang didn’t hesitate. He deliberately weakened his posture, swaying unsteadily as if he were about to collapse the next second.

Then.

Boom—

The Star Pressure surrounding him abruptly dissipated.

“Finally reached your limit.”

Liu Wushuang’s timing was impeccable as he swiftly withdrew the pressure and said calmly, “Well? Ready to talk now? You’re quite the tough one, kid, to have held out this long…”

As his words fell.

“H-how… how was that?”

Qin Yang gasped for breath, plopping down onto the grass and supporting himself with his hands. “Did you think… I, Qin Yang, am someone who fears death?”

By now, the “Mutual Destruction with Heaven and Earth” package was fully prepared.

If worst came to worst, he could just run far away from the Villa Complex!

Then, he’d take Liu Wushuang with him in a self-destruct move. Even if it didn’t kill him, Qin Yang could fake his death and escape.

Everything was under control.

Perfectly arranged!

“You’re asking for death, kid.”

Liu Wushuang shook his head, uttering harsh words, but inwardly, he was impressed.

“The Sword God’s Disciple truly has backbone.”

As his words fell.

Boom!

An even more formidable Star Power descended, swirling around Qin Yang, continuously applying pressure and testing him, seemingly on the verge of reaching Grandmaster-level.

Just then.

Suddenly!

“Don’t you dare hurt my master!!!”

A little white-haired loli leaped from the balcony, scurrying toward Liu Wushuang with a fierce, clawing charge.

She charged straight at Liu Wushuang.

“Hmm?”

Liu Wushuang pressed one hand against Xiaobai’s head, watching her flail her fists wildly, his expression turning surprised. “A King-level Star Beast?”

“???”

Qin Yang, sitting on the ground, was also stunned.

What…

What is this silly fox doing jumping out?

Didn’t I tell her to stay put inside the house?!

“You call him master?”

Liu Wushuang glanced at Qin Yang, then looked at Xiaobai before him. Recalling her earlier address, he seemed to understand. He placed his palm on Xiaobai’s forehead and applied a slight force.

Star Power rebounded!

The next moment.

As soon as Xiaobai felt the pressure, she deliberately flew backward, landing precisely in Qin Yang’s arms, their eyes meeting…

She blinked.

“Master, are you alright!?”

Xiaobai sprang up and hugged Qin Yang’s head. “Don’t worry, this servant will protect you!!”

As she spoke, she winked at Qin Yang.

She had been watching the battle from the balcony and had already figured it out.

It’s just acting, right?

This Fairy guarantees she’ll cooperate with you!

“I…”Qin Yang’s face was pressed against Xiaobai’s chest, suffocated beyond words.

“Hehe…”

Xiaobai giggled foolishly, holding Qin Yang tightly in her embrace while secretly calculating in her heart. She was already overjoyed, envisioning the future.

Once this act is over,

Master will definitely let this Fairy have her fill of licking!!
