“This time, I only came to deliver the Hantian Stalactite Milk to senior sister. I am grateful for senior sister’s kindness in treating me to a cup of tea, but I should not impose any longer.”
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Qin Hao rose to leave.
“You can actually sit for a while longer. I would like to discuss the Dao with you.”
Under normal circumstances, Qin Mengya might have personally asked him to leave by now, but this time, she did not want Qin Hao to leave so soon. This was unprecedented.
“Senior sister is too kind. How could I possibly be qualified to discuss the Dao with you?”
Qin Hao was speaking the absolute truth.
Let alone discussing the Dao, he was completely ignorant even when it came to cultivation.
Qin Mengya, however, did not see it that way.
She believed Qin Hao thought her Dao attainment was insufficient and that she was not qualified to discuss the Dao with him.
As for what Qin Hao had said, it was probably meant to spare her dignity.
“You are right, junior brother. My Dao attainment is insufficient, and I am still not qualified to discuss the Dao with you.”
Hearing this, Qin Hao was left with a head full of question marks!
When did I ever say that your Dao attainment was insufficient? I clearly said that mine was insufficient!
Qin Hao was about to speak, but Qin Mengya cut him off. In her cool voice, she said, “junior brother, you may leave now. Thank you for the Hantian Stalactite Milk and the dao insight.”
Immediately afterward, Qin Mengya flicked her sleeve, and Qin Hao appeared outside the door.
After Qin Hao left, Qin Mengya furrowed her brows.
She began pondering deeply.
Qin Hao’s expression changed, and he shook his head repeatedly. This woman changed her attitude faster than one could turn a page—one moment she asked him to sit, and the next she directly sent him outside.
Qin Hao did not want to dwell on it. He had already infiltrated the Heavenly Demon Sect and had even established a good relationship with the Heavenly Demon Sect’s eldest senior sister. At least, he should have established a good relationship with her.
Next, he just had to follow the Heavenly Demon Sect into the secret realm.
“By the way, where is Zhang San’s tent?”
Qin Hao walked around the camp and discovered that almost every tent was occupied. For a moment, he did not know where to go.
At that moment, a tall and powerfully built Heavenly Demon Sect Disciple came before Qin Hao.
“Are you Zhang San?”
Seeing that the newcomer clearly meant trouble, Qin Hao muttered inwardly, How many enemies does this Zhang San have? I must have run into another one.
“I am Zhang San. What is it?”
“You entered eldest senior sister’s room?”
Qin Hao now understood the other party’s purpose.
So he came because of Qin Mengya!
So this was Zhang San’s love rival!
“Senior sister asked me to enter. Is there a problem?” Qin Hao naturally refused to back down and replied firmly.
“Hmph. Eldest senior sister has always treated people coldly. Even when facing someone as handsome as senior brother, eldest senior sister shows no favor. What makes you qualified to enter eldest senior sister’s room?”
The tall and powerfully built Heavenly Demon Sect Disciple glared viciously at Qin Hao, as though Qin Hao had stolen his woman.
Qin Hao glanced at his waist and saw the words “Heavenly Demon Sect’s Second Senior Brother of the Outer Sect, Zhu Zhuang” written on the waist token.
“Speak! Did you give eldest senior sister some kind of love potion? Otherwise, how could eldest senior sister possibly have allowed you into her room?”
Zhu Zhuang released his aura. His powerful pressure surged like raging waves, pressing down on Qin Hao.
So he was a Perfected eighth layer of qi refinement cultivator. No wonder he was so arrogant.
Zhu Zhuang’s pressure was formidable. An ordinary disciple could not withstand it at all, but Qin Hao was different. His cultivation level was the same as Zhu Zhuang’s, and he was even stronger than Zhu Zhuang!
The Corpse King Physique was no joke!
“Eldest senior sister wanted me to enter, so I entered. What are you going to do about it?”
“What am I going to do about it?”
Zhu Zhuang chuckled lightly, then swung his fist at Qin Hao. His fist wind was fierce, and the blow carried immense force and momentum.
Qin Hao followed suit and chuckled lightly as well. His fist, one size smaller than Zhu Zhuang’s, met Zhu Zhuang’s fist head-on.
The two fists collided, and a thunderous explosion rang out.
The impact startled many heavenly demon sect disciples from the tents.
They thought the camp was under attack!
“Why is Zhang San fighting second senior brother?”
“I heard it was because Zhang San entered eldest senior sister’s room?”
“Where did you hear that? Why don’t I know about it? Besides, how could Zhang San have entered eldest senior sister’s room? Even senior brother couldn’t get in!”
“I heard it from a Heavenly Demon Sect Disciple. It is absolutely true!”
Soon, a large crowd gathered, not for any other reason than to watch the excitement.
Scheming Young Lord—Crouching Dragon Zhang San versus the Heavenly Demon Sect’s Second Senior Brother of the Outer Sect, Zhu Zhuang!
How could anyone miss such a major event?
“How dare Zhang San provoke second senior brother? Second senior brother is far more frightening than yi family’s three brothers!”
“Perhaps he has gotten carried away. Second senior brother is a Perfected eighth layer of qi refinement cultivator. Among the disciples who came this time, aside from senior brother and eldest senior sister, no one can suppress him.”
“Zhang San is overestimating himself. Scheming against yi family’s three brothers was not enough for him? Now he wants to scheme against second senior brother too. Doesn’t he understand that before absolute strength, all schemes come to nothing?”
The crowd offered various opinions, but most said that Qin Hao had gotten carried away.
After all, everyone who knew understood second senior brother’s strength.
“You are quite impressive to withstand one of my punches.”
Looking at Qin Hao, the contempt in Zhu Zhuang’s eyes diminished slightly, replaced by a hint of regard.
Apart from senior brother, Qin Hao was the second person capable of clashing with him head-on!
Even eldest senior sister would suffer a disadvantage if she fought him bare-handed and met him head-on!
“That is something I should be saying to you!”
Although Qin Hao had not used his full strength in that punch, he had still used seventy percent of it. He had not expected Zhu Zhuang to withstand it.
This was not mockery directed at Zhu Zhuang, but praise.
Qin Hao’s corpse king strength was no joke. Combined with his cultivation of the Undying Corpse God Scripture, his strength was no longer merely extraordinary—it was extremely powerful!
When exerting his full strength, every strike possessed the force of a perfected ninth layer of qi refinement cultivator!
“Arrogant!”
Zhu Zhuang shouted furiously. Earth-yellow spiritual power surged, and he once again punched forward. This time, Qin Hao felt that the fist was as heavy as a mountain, overwhelming him with sheer momentum!
Unwilling to yield, Qin Hao circulated dark-golden spiritual power through his meridians and threw another punch with his other hand.
This collision was even louder.
The ground beneath both men sank half an inch.
“How is this possible!” Qin Hao knocked Zhu Zhuang back three full steps. Although Zhu Zhuang’s expression remained unchanged, his heart churned like turbulent waves as he cried out inwardly that it was impossible!
Qin Hao, by contrast, remained where he was, rooted like an ancient tree, unmoving and as steady as a mountain.
“There is nothing impossible about it. Again!”
Qin Hao threw another punch. This time, it was even stronger!
Zhu Zhuang’s eyes widened. Gritting his teeth, he punched forward.
Bang!
The web between Zhu Zhuang’s thumb and forefinger split open, and he retreated another three steps.
At that moment, the way Zhu Zhuang looked at Zhang San had completely changed.
His gaze was filled with shock and disbelief.
“You cannot possibly be this strong!” Zhu Zhuang growled.
“I am exactly this strong!” Zhang San replied.
Was the script not supposed to go like this?
Second senior brother had actually been knocked back by Zhang San!
What kind of performance was this?
Wasn’t second senior brother supposed to beat Zhang San senseless?
The heavenly demon sect disciples present rubbed their eyes in unison, wondering whether they were seeing things. This was what every disciple was thinking at that moment.
They were not seeing things. Could it be that the world had changed?
Zhang San was actually this strong!
“Zhu Zhuang, what are you doing!” A cool voice rang out. Qin Mengya had appeared without anyone noticing.
At that moment, Qin Hao spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, saying in a trembling voice:
“Second senior brother, I merely entered eldest senior sister’s room for a moment. Why did you have to hound me so relentlessly and injure me so severely!”
The entire scene fell silent. Every disciple present was speechless.
