Chapter 292 – Advanced Blood Clone Condensing! A Storm Is Coming!

Time flowed by like water.

Night fell.

That evening, at Qin Yang’s request, Xiaobai made a large pot of blood-replenishing delicacies: Spicy Blood Curd Soup, Yuan-Yang Hot Pot, White Fungus and Red Date Soup… Every highly nourishing dish imaginable was piled up by Xiaobai in the kitchen.

She had arranged it all!

It was a rare get-together, and also Qin Yang’s last night before heading to the appointment. Xiaobai’s culinary skills were at their peak, reaching the level of a top Grandmaster.

That night, everyone at the table ate and drank to their hearts’ content.

The next morning, as the sky brightened, Qin Yang left early. After packing the few things he needed, he prepared to head to the Jianghai border for the meeting.

“Senior Brother, you must be careful on this trip.”

Li Zixuan leaned against the doorway, tucking a strand of black hair behind her ear, and said softly, “If you can run, then run. Don’t fight those Supreme Alliance people head-on. We’ll be waiting for you at home.”

“Yeah, Old Qin, you should listen to your Shimei more,” Xia He said, scratching his head. “You’re the only brother I’ve got. Don’t try to take them on by force. Going to this lion’s den alone is too dangerous. You absolutely have to remember to run…”

“Hmph, why are you two being so pessimistic! Master will definitely win, okay!”

Li Qinghe pouted and huffed, then glanced over. “Right, Master?”

As her voice fell.

“Mm, don’t worry. Since I’m making a move, I’m naturally prepared. Just wait for news at home.”

Seeing this, Qin Yang, who was packing his things, calmly reassured them. He then turned, waved goodbye, and walked toward the city gate without looking back.

The morning light was faint.

His figure gradually receded into the distance.

The three of them waited where they were, reluctant to see him go.

For some reason, they all felt that today’s Qin Yang was overly serious. His usual carefree attitude was gone, replaced by a much more composed demeanor.

“Master, he’s not playing for real this time, is he?”

Xiaobai was lying on the balcony, watching Qin Yang’s departing figure. Her chin rested on the railing, her fox ears drooping, a hint of worry in her heart.

Master’s move this time seemed different.

One had to know.

Who had he sent out on previous occasions?

All doppelgangers!

But now, his actual body was going out directly. It was simply unprecedented!

It wasn’t like Master’s style at all!

“Master hasn’t even transformed into a dragon yet. If he kicks the bucket, won’t this Fairy have no one to support her…”

Xiaobai hopped down from the railing on her short legs, her beast ears drooping. She swished her tail, picked up the nearby mop, and started mopping the floor inside.

But on second thought.

She realized she was overthinking it.

Qin Yang had replenished so much blood last night.

It had far exceeded his usual standard.

If he was really going to make doppelgangers… those kidnappers were probably in for a world of hurt!

………

After leaving the residential complex, Qin Yang walked through the alleys lining the streets. As it neared noon, Jianghai City grew hot and dry.

The air shimmered and distorted.

The road was filled with the stuffy smell of baking asphalt.

Qin Yang walked along the alley.

But after just a few more minutes, he saw a familiar figure standing at the end of the alley, a Dark Bow on his back, his robes fluttering in the wind.

It was Liu Wushuang.

It seemed he had been waiting for a long time.

“Hm?”

Qin Yang stopped, raising his eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised. “Didn’t I tell you to guard the Scripture Pavilion? What are you doing here?”

As his voice fell.

A bitter look appeared on Liu Wushuang’s face. He sighed heavily and knelt on one knee.

“Young Gang Leader… the Exploding Heavens Gang is in trouble. I cannot just sit by and watch.”

He said guiltily, “Your Shimei was abducted yesterday, and I cannot shirk my responsibility… If I hadn’t been so foolish at the time and fallen for the Alliance Lord’s trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, how could she have been taken away?”

“…”

“Just for this?”

Qin Yang fell silent at the sight, looking at the remorse on Liu Wushuang’s face. He waved his hand in reassurance. “Get up. You can’t be entirely blamed for this. You were being tied down by the Supreme Alliance at the time, and your hands were tied.”

“But…”

Liu Wushuang rose to his feet at his words, wanting to say something, but he glanced toward the city gate. “Young Gang Leader, are you going to the meeting to rescue her now?”

“Hm? What is it?”

Sensing the hidden meaning in Liu Wushuang’s words, Qin Yang’s brow furrowed slightly. “You want to go with me?”

“Yes.”

Liu Wushuang lowered his head, looking at the tips of his feet, and said in shame, “I am also responsible for your Shimei being taken away. For this meeting, can you let me accompany you? I want to bring her back personally.”

“…”

Hearing this, Qin Yang’s brow furrowed slightly.

It wasn’t entirely out of the question to let Liu Wushuang come along.

As a former member of the Supreme Alliance, he was familiar with his old colleagues and could provide intelligence.

Moreover, given Liu Wushuang’s personality, it would be useless even if he refused. Out of guilt, Liu Wushuang would find a way to follow him anyway. If he were to show up suddenly then, it would instead disrupt the plan.

The loss would outweigh the gain!

Thinking of this.

Qin Yang nodded.

“Fine, you’ll come with me this time. This can be considered your first mission for the Exploding Heavens Gang.”

As he spoke, his tone shifted.

“However, there is one condition. You must follow my command during this operation. You are absolutely not to act on your own without permission. If I tell you to do something, you must obey and act without any hesitation.”

“Yes, rest assured, Young Gang Leader.”

Liu Wushuang cupped his hands respectfully. “I will certainly comply.”

“You go to the Jianghai City Gate and wait for me first. We’ll meet again in half an hour.”

“Yes, Young Gang Leader!”

After receiving his orders, Liu Wushuang immediately bowed and left.

After dismissing him, Qin Yang looked up at the sky, calculated the time, and changed into a set of white robes. He then waved his sleeve, scattering more than a dozen drops of essence blood.

The next moment.

A dense, bloody aura spread out.

The separated drops of essence blood sprouted upon hitting the ground, blooming into bewitching blood-red flowers.

More than a dozen figures broke free from the blood flowers, pushing themselves up from the ground and slowly revealing their forms.

It took only a few breaths.

Soon.

The blood-colored humanoids finished their transformation.

They had various forms: a dashing swordsman, a steady hammer-wielder, and others holding spears, sabers, and whips. They were equipped with all sorts of martial arts weapons, all at the peak of the Supreme Realm.

One of them looked exactly like Qin Yang, identical down to the last strand of hair and patch of skin. Even if Liu Wushuang were to observe him personally, he would find it difficult to spot any difference.

“Not bad. This should be foolproof.”

Satisfied, Qin Yang connected his mind with them, commanding all the doppelgangers to move.

A moment later.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The wind rustled, making their robes billow.

More than a dozen figures flitted across the city’s rooftops, weaving between the tall buildings.

…

…

Outside Jianghai City.

At the border of the Great Li Mountains’ wilderness.

The sea of trees rose and fell like waves. Towering cypress trees stretched out their branches, blotting out the sky and sun. Specks of light pierced through the gaps, landing on the ground like flecks of gold.

And at the top of a tree trunk.

Three people were bound to it. They were none other than the captured Xia He and Li Zixuan. Their faces were as pale as paper, their eyes shut tight, having already fallen unconscious.

Several men in robes sat cross-legged around them, guarding them from all four directions. They formed a rotating Array Formation, vigilantly watching for any disturbance in the vicinity.

“Is their cultivation sealed?”

Meng Tianxuan stood on a hill a short distance away, sending a voice transmission to one of the Supremes, asking in a low voice, “These are important hostages. We can’t let them escape. The people from the Exploding Heavens Gang will be here soon.”

“Rest assured, Alliance Lord!”

The guarding Supreme heard this and nodded quickly. “Everything has been taken care of.”

“Good. You may continue.”

Meng Tianxuan nodded in satisfaction.

Now that the bait had been caught and the trap was set, everything was ready. All that was missing was for Qin Yang and his people to walk into it. Then, the mission would be complete!
