Chapter 119: The Charm of Qin Xuan

Following behind Shangguan Zhong were the sisters, Shangguan Si and Shangguan Ying, along with a group of clansmen.

The entire Shangguan Family, totaling over three hundred clansmen, had come to defect en masse.

They were willing to abandon the foundation their Family had cultivated in the Ziyang Imperial Capital for thousands of years just to join the Yaochi Sacred Land.

Shangguan Zhong cupped his hands toward the Holy Master of Yaochi and said, "Holy Master, this old bag of bones, Shangguan Zhong, has traveled thousands of miles to come to Yaochi. I wonder, Holy Master, if you would allow my Shangguan Family to become a part of the Yaochi Sacred Land?"

After much deliberation, Shangguan Zhong had ultimately decided to abandon the foundation he had managed in the Imperial Capital.

Likewise, he had also abandoned the hope that the Innate Nether Eyes might be passed down.

This time, if not for the assistance of Qin Xuan, his Shangguan Family would certainly have been doomed to destruction.

Continuing to covet the Innate Nether Eyes would only lead to the downfall of his Shangguan Family.

Under the repeated persuasion of his daughter, who was turning her back on the Family, he finally made the decision to come and seek refuge in the Yaochi Sacred Land.

The Holy Master of Yaochi readily agreed, "If the Shangguan Family is willing to join our Sacred Land, it would truly make our humble dwelling shine!"

With a wave of her hand, a colossal peak, ten thousand zhang tall, rose from the ground.

Riding the clouds and mist, it slowly settled deep within the Yaochi Sacred Land.

Thousands of Formations shimmered, mobilizing the Origin Veins to frantically pour massive amounts of Origin Energy into this peak.

The Holy Master of Yaochi looked at Shangguan Zhong and said, "This peak shall be named Mingtong Peak, and the Patriarch of the Shangguan Family shall be its Peak Master. From now on, anyone possessing Heterochromic Eyes may enter Mingtong Peak to Cultivate!"

One must know that the Innate Nether Eyes had once been like a fish in water in the Ziyang Imperial Capital, with their status rising steadily.

Even those Aristocratic Families had competed to curry favor with them.

If not for the oppression of King Ning, how could they have fallen into such a dire state today?

The mere ability of the Innate Nether Eyes to predict fortune and misfortune was enough to make them extraordinary in the field of ocular powers.

Of course, while the Innate Nether Eyes were a Prodigy-level talent, the Holy Master of Yaochi was not stingy; she had given them plenty of face.

She had publicly promised the high position of a Peak Master!

This was giving Shangguan Zhong enough face, and it was also announcing to the world that from now on, the Shangguan Family would be a pillar of her Yaochi Sacred Land. Anyone who dared to harbor ulterior motives would have to weigh the gravity of the Yaochi Sacred Land!

Shangguan Zhong's tiger-like eyes filled with tears, and the white hair at his temples could not hide the excitement on his face. He cupped his hands toward the Holy Master of Yaochi, "For the grace of the Holy Master's acceptance, Zhong is endlessly grateful. The entire Shangguan Family is willing to die for the Yaochi Sacred Land!"

"Young Master Qin!"

After receiving the Holy Master's promise, the little loli Shangguan Ying hurriedly took to the air and flew toward Qin Xuan.

Like a swallow returning to its nest, she threw herself into his arms, greedily inhaling the comforting, pleasant scent on his body.

She lifted her head, her delicate chin resting against Qin Xuan's chest, her large, watery eyes filled with excitement. "Young Master Qin—no, that's not right—Senior Brother, from now on we are fellow Disciples! You are the Senior Brother, and I am the Junior Sister!"

Having been separated for several days, she missed him dearly.

Reunited at this moment, she was unwilling to let go no matter what.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shangguan Ying forcefully pressed herself into Qin Xuan's embrace.

She wished she could crush herself and melt entirely into Qin Xuan's body.

Shangguan Ying turned her head to look at the high and mighty Holy Master of Yaochi and muttered softly, "Holy Master, can... can I join Thunder Prison Peak?"

The usually cold voice of the Holy Master of Yaochi carried a hint of warmth, "You possess the Nether Pupil; having just entered Yaochi, you already want to abandon your father, sister, and clansmen?"

Shangguan Ying nodded without a care, "I want to be closer to Senior Brother. Senior Brother has saved my life time and time again; I want to stay at Thunder Prison Peak and serve Senior Brother!"

Luo Xinyi pointed at Shangguan Ying's nose and said loudly and angrily, "Shangguan Ying, that's enough! This isn't serving; you're seducing him!"

"You keep bumping into him with your chest; do you know you're committing a foul!?"

Mu Qingxue frowned, looking at Luo Xinyi with some confusion.

Why did she feel like Luo Xinyi seemed to be jealous of Shangguan Ying?

Gulp!

Luo Xinyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and, feeling guilty, said with a straight face, "I'm just speaking up for you!"

She shouted to stop Shangguan Ying, "If you abandon Mingtong Peak, then I, Luo Xinyi, won't pretend anymore either. I also want to join Thunder Prison Peak! Inside Hongya Peak, it's just a bunch of muscle-heads; it's not appropriate for a weak woman like me to stay there!"

The Peak Master of Hongya Peak shouted, "No! Xinyi, you cannot abandon our Hongya Peak!"

Were they crazy?

In their Hongya Peak, from beginning to end, Luo Xinyi was the only woman, and they protected her like a precious treasure.

If Luo Xinyi left, wouldn't their entire Hongya Peak be branded with the title of 'Monk Peak' in the future?

Their Hongya Peak was a group of rough men, colliding shirtless every day to temper their bodies.

Having Luo Xinyi walking around at least attracted some attention.

If Luo Xinyi, the precious daughter of the entire peak, left.

What if the Disciples of Hongya Peak had a change in their sexual orientation?

No matter what, the Peak Master of Hongya Peak would absolutely not allow that terrifying scene to happen, and he hurriedly cast a look of distress toward Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan understood and, taking the opportunity to do a favor, lowered his head, reached out to pat the little loli's head, and said with a smile, "It's not far; just visit often."

The little loli pouted, feeling a bit discouraged, but she would not contradict Qin Xuan's wishes and nodded her little head obediently, "Okay~"

Phew...

Mu Qingxue and Luo Xinyi both breathed a sigh of relief.

Not far away, Qing Ning had been watching from afar, and her heart also felt much better.

She also wanted to go forward and stand by the Young Master's side.

But she couldn't do it right now; as long as she moved slightly, it felt like a warm current began to flow.

The key was that she didn't dare to use Origin Energy to clear the abnormal condition in her body right now.

In her heart, the Young Master still carried the Double Pupil curse, and whether he could live past a year was still a big question.

If she could give birth to an heir for the Young Master within this year and continue his Bloodline.

Even if it cost her her life, she would not regret it!

If she could continue the Young Master's Bloodline, then after she died, she would be buried in the same grave as him; who would dare to have any objections?!

Qin Xuan did not know what Qing Ning was thinking at this moment. He looked at Saint Son Chen Fan with increasing amusement and teased, "You said the Luo Family was only paying lip service, but now that the Shangguan Family has defected en masse, how will you quibble now?"

Saint Son Chen Fan clenched his fists tightly. Inside his mouth, it sounded like a nest of mice, grinding and creaking, and his molars were almost bitten to the point of shattering.

He shouted angrily, "The Mu Family and the Luo Family both have a great relationship with you. They have already offended the Imperial Clan. This time, it looks like they are coming to seek refuge, but in reality, they are just using the power of Yaochi to resist the oppression of the Imperial Clan."

"Their coming here will not only fail to make things better for our Yaochi Sacred Land, but it will also cause our Yaochi to be seen as a thorn in the side of those Imperial Clans!"

"Even if our Yaochi does have one more peak now, in the future, without the replenishment of fresh blood, the current improvement is no different from draining a pond to catch all the fish!"

Uncle Mu Wudi was furious, "Bullshit! With your glib tongue, I wish I could rip your tongue out!"

With a wave of his hand, a great power lifted a group of Juniors in the back, and they were rushing toward this place.

A massive crowd of young Cultivators, seeing Qin Xuan, had expressions of worship overflowing from their eyes.

They all bowed toward Qin Xuan, "Senior Brother Qin Xuan, we heard that you beheaded Ning Wuya in the Ziyang Imperial Capital and stood firm against King Ning. I am willing to follow Senior Brother Qin Xuan to the death!"

"We beg the Peak Master of Thunder Prison Peak to take us in."

"We are willing to die for Thunder Prison Peak!"

"..."

The Peak Master of Hongya Peak and others, witnessing these young Cultivators with fanatical eyes,

"Is this the Nine Yang Physique?"

"That one seems to be the Thunder Dragon Sacred Body!"

"Holy shit! There's even one possessing the Profound Yin Absolute Pulse?"

"..."

Sounds of astonishment rose one after another.

These young Cultivators with special Physiques were highly sought after, even in the eyes of the Sacred Land; they were precious treasures.

When their Yaochi Sacred Land opened its gates to recruit Disciples, it was hard to even see a handful of Prodigies.

Now, it was better; over ten people had traveled thousands of miles to kneel and beg to join the Yaochi Sacred Land?

They must be crazy!

Saint Son Chen Fan had just said that Qin Xuan would leave the Yaochi Sacred Land without fresh blood to absorb, and the next second, a group of golden fresh blood arrived?

What an instant slap in the face!
