Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Trapped! Gu Kuang to the Rescue!

For the next seven days, Wang Yue stayed in a side room, cultivating and refining the Ten-thousand-year-old Zhu Fruit.

Although he could only receive Qingqing’s cultivation results each day, his own cultivation speed had also improved, so his Realm progress did not slow down much.

After ending a night of cultivation, Gu Changge was quite satisfied as he looked at his own panel.

[Host: Gu Changge]

[Root Bone: 200]

[Comprehension: 205]

[Cultivation Technique: Emperor Dragon Control Secret, Spirit Moon Technique, Mystic Sky Technique.]

[Realm: Early Stage of the Qi Sea Realm (95/100)]

[Divine Skills: Emperor Seal (Heaven), Soaring Dragon Transformation (Earth), Dragon Roar Sword Technique (Earth), Heavenly Cold Finger (Earth), Shadow Concealing Step (Earth), Lingfeng’s Nine Swords (Mystic).]

[Attribute Points: 300]

Since Wang Yue was in seclusion every day, his attribute points had not increased.

However, his Realm was close to breaking through to the Mid-Stage of the Qi Sea Realm.

“Tomorrow, I will be able to break through to the Mid-Stage of the Qi Sea Realm.”

“After my wife finishes refining the Ten-thousand-year-old Zhu Fruit, the shared effects should likely allow me to directly break through to the Late Stage of the Qi Sea Realm.”

“The Reach Profound Realm is not far away now…”

“But so many days have passed; Qingqing should have already arrived at Duanbei City.”

Gu Changge looked at his own panel and was quite satisfied.

If the old man were to notify him to head to Duanbei City in another month, chances are he might already be in the Reach Profound Realm!

By then, Qingqing might be surprised to find out!

Just as he thought this, he suddenly felt dazzled for a moment, and his attribute points suddenly increased from three hundred to four hundred and sixty?

No… it wasn’t a trick of the eye.

[Daoist Couple Liu Qingqing (Perfection of Reach Profound Realm), killed a Qi Sea Realm Demon Beast x6, reward Attribute Points: 60.]

[Daoist Couple Liu Qingqing (Perfection of Reach Profound Realm), killed a Reach Profound Realm Demon Beast, reward Attribute Points: 100.]

Two notifications rang out one after another, and he understood where the attribute points came from.

“It seems my wife has already reached Duanbei City and started hunting Demon Beasts.”

“Tsk, this is much faster than my daily efforts to earn points!”

“I wonder if my wife will encounter any trouble; it seems I need to break through to the Reach Profound Realm quickly in case there’s anything I can help with.”

Originally not in a hurry to go to Duanbei City, he became somewhat more concerned upon learning that Liu Qingqing had begun hunting Demon Beasts, planning to ask the old man for news in a few days if there was none by the time Wang Yue ended his seclusion.

…

Meanwhile, Liu Qingqing, after dealing with several Demon Beasts, deployed her Body Technique Divine Power and hurried toward Duanbei City.

Behind her, a Fifth-grade Ruins Realm and several Fourth-grade Reach Profound Realm Demon Beasts pursued relentlessly.

Although those Demon Beasts were not there to attack the city, there were many Demon Beasts beyond fifty li from Duanbei City, which is considered a safe area!

She had just resolved six Qi Sea Realm Demon Beasts with Lingfeng’s Nine Swords and instantly killed a Reach Profound Realm Demon Beast with the lightning-fast Heavenly Cold Finger, but the commotion had attracted a chase from other Demon Beasts!

Fortunately, she was only a hundred li from Duanbei City, and her movement technique was fast enough to escape.

She was just about to enter the fifty li safe zone, where the Demon Beasts would naturally retreat due to the difficulty.

But a Flying Sword suddenly flew towards her, predicting her path and slashing down.

“Damn!” To dodge the Flying Sword, Liu Qingqing, who had been moving at top speed using Shadow Concealing Step, had to change direction, pausing momentarily.

It was this momentary pause that allowed the Fifth-grade Ruins Realm Demon Beast behind her to close the gap.

“Roar————”

The Demon Beast, resembling a tiger but with bone wings on its back, roared with a gaping maw and transformed into a phantom to swallow Liu Qingqing!

Liu Qingqing had no choice but to turn around and point out with all her might.

Although she broke the tiger’s shadow, the backlash made her organs extremely uncomfortable and some blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

There was no time to think about who had cast the flying sword, she could only ignore her injuries and continue to flee.

‘Swish—’

Another ownerless flying sword!

It accurately predicted her next landing spot while using the Shadow Concealing Step!

“Finished…”

Liu Qingqing immediately felt a wave of despair; if she was stopped again this time, she feared she would not be able to escape!

She had never imagined that she would be tricked by her own kind and obstructed from her path, right after arriving in Duanbei City and going out of the city for the first time to hunt demon beasts!

“Roar!!!”

A deafening roar of a tiger sounded beside her ear, her only option was to turn back and release a Heavenly Cold Finger with the little remaining spiritual power!

But this time, even if she could block it, she didn’t have enough spiritual power to escape back to Duanbei City!

A sinister gaze secretly watched the situation unfold, ready to leave since the two flying swords were not refined and couldn’t be traced back to him, maybe the Tiger Demon would take them away.

The two elders of the Heavenly Cold Sect were in Duanbei City today for a handover.

Today, without an elder secretly guarding her, Liu Qingqing, feeling outnumbered and anxious to hunt demon beasts, had ventured out of the city prematurely—the perfect chance for him to strike!

After shattering the tiger’s shadow, Liu Qingqing, with only ten percent of her spiritual energy remaining, began to regret her decision.

If she had waited for the elders to finish their handover, she wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

Although she couldn’t see the person hiding in the shadows, she guessed it must have been arranged by Zhu Qin or Yayun.

When the Tiger Demon charged at her again, she could even clearly smell the stench from its mouth.

Realizing that its prey was out of defense, it didn’t attack with shadows but directly lunged with its body, aiming to swallow her whole!

“Husband… I won’t be able to repay your kindness in this lifetime.”

In her mind, Liu Qingqing saw a figure that appeared as always, smiling lightly at her.

She still wanted to hear her husband speak…

She hadn’t even consummated her marriage with her husband…

Just as she prepared to self-destruct to heavily injure the Tiger Demon, a low roar erupted:

“Beast, how dare you!”

Liu Qingqing abruptly opened her eyes, only to see an old man with terrifying scars around his eyes, his grey hair mussed by spiritual energy, looking like a mad demon.

He raised his hand and fiercely slapped it from miles away.

The Tiger Demon, with its mouth wide open, was instantly ‘slammed’ by a semi-transparent giant hand made of spiritual energy, bursting into a cloud of blood mist! @@novelbin@@

Even its inner core couldn’t withstand his ruthless force and shattered into pieces.

And those Reach Profound Realm demon beasts, just as they began to flee in horror, were also crushed!

In a blink of an eye, the old man had already arrived in front of her.

Gu Kuang, looking at Liu Qingqing who hadn’t recovered yet, sighed in relief and said, “Thank goodness, I almost couldn’t explain this to my grandson.”

He had been exploring outside Duanbei City and although he made some gains, he hadn’t found any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures significant enough to alarm the Demon Clan, so he was just about to return to Duanbei City to rest.

It was just then that he sensed Liu Qingqing’s presence.

“…” Liu Qingqing slightly opened her mouth, looking at the not-so-familiar old man in front of her, she hadn’t expected to be saved by this old man.

“Girl, with your strength, you shouldn’t have been unable to escape.” Gu Kuang frowned and asked, “And the elders of your Heavenly Cold Sect, shouldn’t there be an elder guarding during the Saintess’ trial?”

“Somebody plotted against the junior…”

Hearing this, she immediately realized, bowed slightly in gratitude, and then turned her gaze to the ownerless flying sword stuck in the ground.

A figure hidden in the shadows felt very uneasy, thinking he had already succeeded, only for this old man to unexpectedly interfere!
