Asura Mad Emperor

"Has Xian'er, my disciple niece, successfully plucked the Divine Blood Lotus?"

Liu Yan'er's eyes rippled like water as she asked the question with a brimming curiosity.

"Xian'er has fulfilled her mission and brought back the item," Ling Xian'er said, producing a blood-colored lotus in her hand.

Seeing this, Liu Yan'er's smile grew brighter: "As expected of Xian'er, my disciple niece, the most talented disciple of Thousand Fox Mountain in a millennium, to actually bring back a Divine Blood Lotus."

Even Leng Han'er, whose face was as cold as a thousand miles of frost, showed a hint of emotion as she looked Ling Xian'er up and down, and unusually spoke up, "Not bad!"

Liu Yan'er stepped forward, took Ling Xian'er by the hand, and said, "Why stand here any longer? Come with me to meet the Master and tell her this wonderful news." The Master referred to by Liu Yan'er was the current clan leader of the Thousand Fox Mountain lineage, also known to Ling Xian'er as Grandmother.

Ling Xian'er and the others set off, while Qinchuan and Ji Huo'er casually prepared to follow the group.

Suddenly.

Leng Han'er's aura became sharply fierce, and she looked coldly at Qinchuan, saying, "Within Thousand Fox Mountain, men and dogs are not allowed to enter!"

Because of the return of Ling Xian'er and Ji Huo'er, they hadn't cared about Qinchuan's presence until now.

They simply assumed Qinchuan was just some disciple from a family responsible for escorting Ling Xian'er back to the mountain.

After all, given Ling Xian'er's appearance, there were definitely plenty on the whole continent who would willingly take on the role of a guardian for her.

With many female disciples on Fox Mountain, this practice was not unheard of.

Out of consideration for Ling Xian'er, they had not repudiated him excessively.

But now, seeing that Qinchuan actually wanted to follow them into the mountain, they immediately coldly rebuked him.

Following that, Leng Han'er's aura completely erupted, revealing that she was in the Holy's Realm.

"Auntie Leng, no!" Ling Xian'er knew her master's aunt's temper and spoke at once, but it was too late.

Just then, Leng Han'er unleashed her overwhelming aura, the majesty of the Holy's Realm bursting forth in an instant, like a massive wave, a torrent crashing against the shore, sweeping towards Qinchuan.

"Big Brother Qin, be careful!"

Ling Xian'er and Ji Huo'er hadn't expected that Leng Han'er would strike without hesitation, not dallying in the slightest.

At the same time, both shouted a warning.

Leng Han'er had reached the Holy's Realm, and she practiced Ice Element Techniques; this tidal force, laden with the chill of glaciers, rushed directly at Qinchuan, threatening to engulf him.

But the very next moment, Qinchuan's response caused everyone to look on in shock.

There stood Qinchuan, proudly erect, bathing in the midst of Great Dao Rune Patterns. These patterns thrummed with terrifying fluctuations and danger, as if he were in the midst of a fierce storm.

However.

Not a trace of panic or fear could be seen on his face, just an utter calmness and indifference. This terrifying aura seemed to have no effect on him at all, as if he were a Divine Stone, standing firm at the eye of the storm!

"How is that possible?"

"This young man actually blocked it? And it looks so easy?!"

Leng Han'er and Liu Yan'er were both visibly moved, exclaiming in amazement.

Leng Han'er's move wasn't intended to subdue the enemy, she simply wanted to sweep Qinchuan away and let him leave of his own accord, which is why she hadn't used her full strength.

However, the aura she stimulated, though not very powerful, was still more than an ordinary cultivator could withstand.

Even a cultivator at the Life Spring Realm would be blown away tens of thousands of miles by her ice and wind, yet Qinchuan did not get swept away and stood there so indifferently.

Even Ling Xian'er and Ji Huo'er looked at Qinchuan with a dazed and astonished gaze, knowing Qinchuan was formidable from what they had seen in the Spirit Martial Great Tomb, but they didn't expect him to be this formidable!

"Young Master Qin, you can even withstand a blow from a Holy?" the two muttered.

Qinchuan, seemingly without an opponent, always able to stand invincible no matter the situation, made the two even suspect that Qinchuan might indeed be able to battle a Holy.

At that moment, Qinchuan casually brushed himself off and said indifferently, "Cultivating both the Ice Element and Wind Element, although you have grasped some true essence, your direction of cultivation is still wrong. Even though this Divine Sense had no intention to kill, due to the dual cultivation, the Divine Sense is flashy without substance, still too weak."

"You—"

"How audacious—"

"Where did this brat come from, daring to run wild in Thousand Fox Mountain?"

Leng Han'er, finding that her strike couldn't even deal with a cultivator in the late stage of the Dao Palace Realm, already felt somewhat embarrassed. Seeing Qinchuan's arrogant words as if he was an elder lecturing her, she flew into a rage, wishing she could tear Qinchuan apart right there.

Just as she was about to make another move, ready to smash this brat with a palm.

Ling Xian'er suddenly stepped forward to stop her, "Elder Leng, please don't act rashly. Young Master Qin is a good friend we met on the way. We were able to successfully obtain the Divine Blood Lotus thanks to Young Master Qin's help.

Young Master Qin came to Thousand Fox Mountain with no ill intentions, just wanting to see Lao Lao (Grandmother)."

Qinchuan hadn't told Ling Xian'er the true purpose of their visit to Thousand Fox Mountain, merely mentioned fetching an item. Knowing this would make Leng Han'er even more irate, Ling Xian'er said he merely wanted to meet Lao Lao.

After hearing this, Leng Han'er snorted, still blocked by Ling Xian'er, yet her entire presence was incredibly sharp.

"Humph, who does he think he is? Does he think he can just see the master whenever he wishes?"

After saying this, she even cast a glance at Ling Xian'er and said, "It's one thing for outsiders not to know, but don't you two also understand the rules of Thousand Fox Mountain? How can you casually bring a man into the mountain?"

After speaking, she looked at Qinchuan with a cold and threatening gaze, "Kid, I don't care what intentions you have for coming to Thousand Fox Mountain, but I advise you to leave quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Ling Xian'er shook her head, "Elder Leng, the Divine Blood Lotus is too important to Thousand Fox Mountain, it concerns the survival of our clan. Without Young Master Qin, Huo'er and I would have never returned safely with the Blood Lotus."

Ling Xian'er was clear that she and Huo'er could safely obtain the lotus from the depths of the Demon Pool only because Qinchuan drew the firepower of many disciples from Netherworld Hall.

Moreover, if it wasn't for Qinchuan's Divine Cauldron protecting them in the end, neither of them would have survived.

"Humph, rules are rules, even if this kid personally brought the Divine Blood Lotus, he's still not allowed into the mountain," Leng Han'er stated coldly, her face frosty.

Ling Xian'er knew it wouldn't be easy to bring Qinchuan into the mountain. Her eyes wave-like, and after a moment, she said, "If not, then should we report this to Lao Lao and let her decide whether he can enter the mountain?"

Liu Yan'er also thoughtfully nodded at this point, "The Divine Blood Lotus is indeed significant; this matter should be reported to the master." She didn't actually think the master would break the rules, but since this young man had done a great favor for Thousand Fox Mountain, perhaps the master herself would come down from the mountain to meet him.

Huo'er also added fuel to the fire at this time, "Exactly, big brother's matter should be told to Lao Lao, letting her decide!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Han'er pondered for a while before saying, "Very well, since that's the case, let's report this to the master first."

After saying that, Ling Xian'er and Leng Liu, as two Protectors, turned into three streaks of light and went towards the depths of Thousand Fox Mountain.

Ji Huo'er meanwhile stayed behind, accompanying Qinchuan as they waited for news.
