Chapter 245 – Xiaobai: Master, This Fairy Is Going to Laugh at You for a Whole Year!

This was an instinctive fear.

Qi Qingshan was certain of it.

There were too many unknown factors now.

Originally, he had only intended to lure small fish and shrimp, then find an opportunity to investigate breakthroughs from Li Zixuan, and follow the clues to extract more information.

Yet, he never expected this!

The small bait did indeed hook a big fish.

But the problem was…

He had just realized…

This wasn’t just a big fish—it was a full-blown storm!!

It immediately capsized the fishing boat. What he was considering now wasn’t the investigation, but whether he could even survive in the hands of these Sword God Sect disciples…

“Ah…”

Thinking of this, Qi Qingshan felt completely numb. Cold sweat trickled down his temples as fear spread through his heart like ink staining water…

Those figures in the sky were beyond reach, all experts of the Supreme Realm.

Even if he and Liu Wushuang combined their strength and fought with everything they had, they wouldn’t be a match for just a few of them. This was essentially a death sentence…

“Qingshan… Are you afraid?”

Liu Wushuang, standing beside him, noticed Qi Qingshan’s unusual state. Frowning deeply with an unpleasant expression, he said: “It was you who insisted on meeting the Sword God’s Sect. Now that we’ve finally seen them, tsk, you’re getting scared?

When you were interrogating Qin Yang earlier, why weren’t you panicking then?”

As he spoke, Liu Wushuang crossed his arms, returning all the teasing he had received earlier: “This venerable still preferred your unruly demeanor!”

“I…”

Hearing this, Qi Qingshan recalled his earlier intimidation of Qin Yang. Cold sweat poured down as he shook his head: “I’m afraid they’ll be protective of their own.”

Based on previous investigations,

While many aspects of the Sword God Sect remained unknown, their “protective nature” was confirmed information. Back when the Beast Tide attacked, they slaughtered that Emperor-Level Star Beast without even blinking!

And now…

He had moved against their disciple.

Would the Sword God’s Sect truly let him off?

“Enough, dwelling on this is useless. First, think about how to get through the current situation.”

As if reading Qi Qingshan’s thoughts, Liu Wushuang sighed softly, inwardly grumbling, “Thankfully we didn’t go for the kill back then, otherwise neither of us would have made it out. But there’s still room for maneuver now.”

“What do you mean?”

Qi Qingshan gripped his sword tightly, transmitting his voice nervously: “Then… what’s your plan?”

“First, go up and negotiate with them,”

Liu Wushuang said solemnly, gazing at the figures above: “They’re not evil demons. As long as we can talk, there’s room for discussion.”

Just then,

Suddenly,

“Have you two… finished your private conversation down there?!”

A booming voice rang out, interrupting their thoughts.

Liu Wushuang and Qi Qingshan looked up simultaneously.

They couldn’t tell who had spoken.

Figures shifted across the sky,

Their features indistinct and obscure, beings whose secrets they couldn’t hope to uncover. Even their voices carried a distorted quality, making it impossible to directly perceive their hidden truths.

“Let’s go up first and greet them.”

Liu Wushuang pressed his temples and heaved a heavy sigh. Lightly tapping the floor tiles with his toes, he ascended into the night sky. Not daring to hesitate, Qi Qingshan followed suit.

Soon,

They reached the high altitude meeting point.

Dawn was approaching,

Streaks of purple energy arrived from the east as morning light gradually rose.

Drawing closer, Liu Wushuang finally got a clear look at these individuals’ appearances.They wore bamboo hats and black robes, carrying blades and swords or going bare-handed, appearing no different from ordinary people at first glance.

Seeing this.

Liu Wushuang and Qi Qingshan dared not delay, immediately cupping their hands and saying:

“Liu Wushuang and Qi Qingshan of the Supreme Alliance… we greet you all. May we ask your names?”

As their voices faded.

The seven people opposite exchanged glances, communicating through divine sense as if discussing something. After a few breaths, they nodded slightly and announced their titles:

“I am the Sky-Covering Hand! Ye Fan!”

The first to step forward was one whose Star Power was particularly formidable, his voice thunderous, echoing across the heavens.

Immediately after.

The others followed suit, declaring their own titles.

“I am the Sky-Imprisoning Finger, Lin Dong!”

“This one is the Blade Emperor Ye Wuque!”

“I am…”

Their powerful and domineering voices surged, churning through the sea of clouds, quickly creating an overwhelming presence.

They were masters of all martial arts – fists, palms, blades, and swords.

And all had reached the Supreme Realm.

With every word and action, none dared look down upon them.

“Are these the seniors’ titles?”

Nearby Star Warriors wore solemn expressions, respectfully committing these names to memory.

“Sister Qinghe, these are all our elders!”

Li Zixuan also gazed at the seniors above, her emotions suddenly stirred, her face showing deep respect.

“So I actually have so many Martial Uncles!”

Li Qinghe exclaimed with surprise, already calculating in her heart, “With so many Martial Uncles, would it be possible to ask them to take me as a disciple and improve my standing?”

Meanwhile, Elder Li and the Commander had gathered, exchanging glances that conveyed mutual understanding.

Just hearing these titles was enough to know they were extraordinary!

“So the Sword God Senior’s sect is actually this powerful!”

They were all convinced…

……

At this moment, dawn stretched from the distant horizon as daybreak approached. Ye Fan, known as the Sky-Covering Palm, slowly floated forward, breaking the stalemate first:

“So… you are the leader of the Supreme Alliance?”

Ye Fan said gravely, raising his eyes to examine Liu Wushuang before him. Though his expression remained calm, the killing intent in his words was completely undisguised:

“Care to explain to me?

Why have you repeatedly bullied disciples of my Exploding Heavens Gang?”

“Do you truly believe… this vast world is dominated solely by your Supreme Alliance?”

As his words fell.

The other six Supremes focused their attention.

They stared intently at Liu Wushuang, gripping their weapons tightly as array inscriptions hummed, awaiting his response.

However.

Witnessing this scene.

Liu Wushuang indeed froze for a moment, his attention completely caught on a particular word from earlier. He felt somewhat bewildered, unable to process it immediately.

What gang???

“Exploding Heavens Gang?”

Which sect is that?

“Completely unfamiliar…”

Liu Wushuang mentally repeated the name, a strange light flashing in his eyes as he looked at Qi Qingshan beside him. He found the other man looking back at him with equal confusion.

Strange.

This name was utterly unfamiliar.

It sounded like some obscure local faction.

“Such a peculiar name, Exploding Heavens Gang… ‘Exploding Heavens’,”

Liu Wushuang silently repeated it again, catching the key word within, and recalled the Sword God and others who had self-destructed earlier, thoughtful understanding dawning in his eyes.

A flicker of realization passed through his gaze:

“No wonder they’re so fond of self-destruction. It seems this ‘exploding’ principle… is their doctrine?””Huh, you just don’t get it, Wushuang. I actually have some thoughts on this.”

Qi Qingshan transmitted his voice through a secret technique, “The Jianghai Sword God’s sect has always been reclusive and doesn’t interact with the outside world. The name ‘Exploding Heavens Gang’ carries the meaning of exploding the heavens—though it’s a bit crude. But entering the world is like leaving it; it’s about following one’s heart.”

As his words fell.

“???”

Liu Wushuang was momentarily stunned. After hearing Qi Qingshan’s explanation, he grew even more confused…

Is that how it’s interpreted?

It can be interpreted that way!?

Upon careful thought,

it does seem to make some sense.

Entering the world is like leaving it; following one’s true heart in the mortal realm. Self-destruction is insane, but if self-destruction could change the Heavenly Law… that would be exceptionally badass.

Liu Wushuang pondered the meaning, clapping his hands in approval as if he had gained some insight… and even felt a bit tempted.

“Entering the world is like leaving it—the sect behind the Sword God is truly remarkable.”

……….

“Exploding Heavens Gang?”

Down below, Li Qinghe pricked up her ears. Hearing this, her sense of belonging deepened even further.

In the past, she would have doubted it.

But after seeing the Martial Uncles and Senior Uncles at the Supreme Realm above,

how could she still question it? Instant conversion! The Exploding Heavens Gang is entirely guided by Supreme Realm seniors. Others would kneel just for a chance to join, but they don’t even have the opportunity!

“What a great name!!”

The grand spectacle had already attracted many Star Warriors, all casting shocked glances.

Some even recorded the scene and spread it online, quickly sparking a wave of discussion and heated debate.

……….

Hot topics on the “Sword Valley” forum:

[The Sword God Senior is actually from the Exploding Heavens Gang? I thought he was a rogue cultivator!]

[Can we join the Exploding Heavens Gang?]

[Look at what the third floor is saying—it must depend on talent!]

[So just a tiny bit of talent, right?]

[What kind of sect is the Exploding Heavens Gang? Where did it come from? Will these Supreme Realm experts stay in Jianghai?]

[That’s hard to say. Previously, the Jianghai Sword God stayed because of his carefree nature. The remaining seven don’t seem as easy to deal with.]

Live recordings from the scene spread from the “Sword Valley” forum, quickly going viral online. The fame of the Exploding Heavens Gang spread far and wide, soon topping the trending charts.

……….

Meanwhile.

Several kilometers away, in Fuhai District.

“Hahaha, Master!

“Are you trying to kill this Fairy with laughter?”

In front of the television broadcasting the live feed, Xiaobai tossed aside her broom, watching the broadcast as she lay on the floor, clutching her stomach and rolling with laughter.

“This is killing the fox! Naming it the Exploding Heavens Gang—how did you even come up with that, Master!”

“Just keep fooling them.”

“Wuwu… Hello, everyone, this honored one is the White Fox Immortal. You all better remember… this Fairy is the chief grandaunt of the Exploding Heavens Gang…”

The white-haired little lolita propped herself up, wiping tears from the corners of her eyes, pouting and putting on airs as she imitated the iconic scene from the broadcast, raising her pinky finger:

“Today, you’ve harmed this grandaunt’s disciple—you’re definitely going to pay for it!”

“Tsk, just see if they believe it or not.”

Qin Yang let out a yawn, unfazed by the teasing. He leisurely flipped through his book, paying no mind to Xiaobai’s mockery, focusing intently on the pages in his hand.

He had sent out these avatars—all of them were great powers from the myriad realms.

What else could he do?

Just fool them however he could!

He was sure to leave Liu Wushuang and the other utterly bewildered.”What’s this about the Exploding Heavens Gang? Look at those two foolish Supreme Realm cultivators—one dares to boast, the other dares to believe… Don’t go misleading others into qi deviation…”

Xiaobai snorted while sitting on the edge of the sofa, wriggling closer to Qin Yang.

“Bad master, deceiving fools is illegal!”

“And that ‘Sky-Covering Hand’ epithet is so cringey! This Fairy is going to laugh at you for a whole year!”

“…”

Qin Yang lay on the sofa, covering his right eye with one hand as he activated his Blood Doppelganger’s vision sharing to check the situation at the scene.

Hearing this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

He lowered his hand.

“Would you like to know… what other nickname I actually have?”

“What is it, master?”

Xiaobai caught a whiff of danger, raising her bottom to escape, but before she could move, Qin Yang clamped his palm over her head and sneered ominously:

“Hehehe!!”

“This master’s nickname is Fox-Skinner! Specializing in skinning little foxes like you!!”
