Chapter 169: Rebirth from Death, The Hand Behind the Scenes

Shock!

Fear!

Suffocation!

Qin Xuan's power made one's scalp tingle.

Even a body at the Saint King Realm was squeezed until its face turned crimson and its skull cracked by Qin Xuan's large hand.

This guy was only at the seventh level of the Heavenly Human Realm.

If he were to ascend to the Quasi-Saint Realm, what a terrifying scene that would be!?

The Blade-wielding Old Man roared with a hoarse voice, struggling, "Qin Xuan, if it weren't for the Heavenly Demon Scale forcing our Realm to drop, how could you be so arrogant!?"

He was unconvinced!

If not for their dropped Realm, no matter how Heaven-Defying Qin Xuan was, he could hardly contend with the Saint King Realm!

"Frog in the well."

Qin Xuan sneered, tossed the Blade-wielding Old Man aside, and then summoned the ancient prison-suppressing tower, smashing it down violently.

Boom—

In mid-air, the Blade-wielding Old Man's body was smashed into a blood mist.

His Divine Soul wailed as it was sucked into the inner space of the small tower, unable to even resist.

In an instant, his Divine Soul was extinguished!

The Saint King Realm expert from the Butian Holy Land had all his Holy power supporting his Physical Body.

He grinned hideously, "Even if you possess a quasi-emperor artifact, destroying my Physical Body would require a massive amount of Yuan power."

"Inside this Kunpeng's belly, the more you consume, the faster you will be controlled by its flesh and blood."

"If you dare to kill me, you will find yourself with no way out!"

Qin Xuan glanced at him indifferently and said playfully, "So, you are very confident, huh?"

He flicked his finger, and Weak Water entered the expert's abdominal cavity from his mouth.

The moment the Weak Water took effect, Qin Xuan used his hand as a blade and sliced gently; a large head flew into the air.

Until his death, the expert from the Butian Holy Land still wore an expression of disbelief.

Why could he not mobilize his Holy power?

Why was his body so frail?

Why did that headless corpse below look so familiar?

Oh, he remembered, that was his body.

In astonishment, two Saint King Realm experts died one after another.

The Old Eunuch struggled, leaning against the wall of flesh, forcing himself to stand up.

He swallowed hard in fear, "Nirvana Fire, regrowing a severed limb! You have Cultivated the Phoenix Treasure Technique to Major Achievement!?"

Qin Xuan smiled lightly, "You have a bit of insight."

"Three Thousand Dragon Flame, that is the life-fire of the Dragon Clan. You obtained the 《True...》"

Crack—

Before the Old Eunuch could finish speaking, Qin Xuan had already stepped forward and twisted his neck.

"Cough, cough..."

The Old Eunuch coughed up blood, his eyes wide with rage.

He saw it!

In the Dragon Blood Secret Realm, it was Qin Xuan who obtained the True Dragon Precious Technique.

Long Chen was merely a scapegoat.

All of this was Qin Xuan's scheme.

Everyone, including Great Emperor Ziyang, had been calculated by Qin Xuan.

Yet, he couldn't understand; it had only been a month since Qin Xuan left the Dragon Blood Secret Realm.

Why, why was he able to comprehend the Three Thousand Dragon Flame?

"To what extent have you Cultivated it?"

The Old Eunuch's throat sounded like a broken, leaking gong; before dying, he asked with lingering resentment.

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

Qin Xuan crushed the Old Eunuch's head with one palm.

He wasn't some great saint who needed to satisfy the Old Eunuch's last wish.

What if this guy had some backup plan to spread the news?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Qin Xuan activated the Three Thousand Dragon Flame, and in the blink of an eye, burned the Old Eunuch's body to ashes.

Even his Divine Soul had its consciousness wiped away, turned into pure energy, and sent into the small tower to be driven by Leng Li.

"We won, we won!"

"Brother-in-law is amazing!"

"Killing a Saint King Realm expert like cutting melons and vegetables, brother-in-law is mighty!"

"..."

The Heaven-Swallowing Carps cheered loudly, one by one falling from the Heaven-Swallowing Carp Zhou Tian Star Array into the broken small earthenware pot, leaping happily like carp leaping over the dragon gate.

Having solved the immediate trouble, Qin Xuan slowly landed in front of the Little Koi and beckoned with one hand.

Rising flames danced around the Little Koi.

Pure Phoenix Flame could burn everything, but it also possessed Heaven-Defying healing properties, known as Nirvana Fire.

In just a few dozen breaths, the wounds on the Little Koi's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"How do you feel?"

Qin Xuan asked softly with concern.

"Much better, I'm fine."

The Little Koi shook her head, her eyes filled with tears.

She walked forward with a pained heart and picked up the remains of the Heaven-Swallowing Carps one by one.

Qin Xuan remained by her side, his eyes sometimes solemn, sometimes puzzled.

The Heaven-Swallowing Carps in the pot kept leaping up, kindly comforting him, "Brother-in-law, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to escape the Immortal Pool."

"Our sisters died protecting our big sister and brother-in-law, it was a worthy death."

"You don't need to be sad, we'll just cry for a while."

"Yeah, yeah, we'll just cry for a while, wuu wuu wuu... gurgle..."

The Heaven-Swallowing Carps in the pot were more considerate than the last, not forgetting to comfort Qin Xuan despite the pain of their kin's tragic death.

One by one, they sobbed in the water, creating gurgling bubbles.

"It's a bit strange; the Souls of these Heaven-Swallowing Carps are still lingering around, never dissipating, and some are even beginning to return to their broken bodies."

Qin Xuan had Cultivated the Nine Revolutions Saint Soul Technique to Perfection, and he perceived Soul fragments more clearly than anyone.

At first, he thought these Heaven-Swallowing Carps were definitely dead, their bodies broken and Divine Souls scattered; even if he used the Nirvana Fire to heal their bodies, they would just be Puppets.

But now, he actually perceived the Heaven-Swallowing Carps' Soul fragments returning!

Unbelievable!

Qin Xuan flicked his finger, and specks of Soul fire attached to the remains of the dead Heaven-Swallowing Carps.

With the Soul fire guiding them, the surrounding Soul fragments began to return rapidly.

In the slow passage of time, they gradually healed.

It was completely precise, with no loss.

This made Qin Xuan increasingly incredulous.

One must know that when a powerful Saint King Realm expert falls, even if they turn into a Soul Cultivator, a large amount of Soul fragments are lost.

Yet these Heaven-Swallowing Carps had none!

Behind this, there must be an invisible hand manipulating things!

"Don't be sad just yet, they still have hope of living."

Qin Xuan placed his hand on the Little Koi's shoulder, comforting her softly.

At the same time, he manipulated the Nirvana Fire to wrap around these small Heaven-Swallowing Carps, healing their broken bodies.

Half a day later, Qin Xuan withdrew the Nirvana Fire with a flushed face.

The dozens of Heaven-Swallowing Carps in the Little Koi's palm first had their pectoral fins tremble slightly, then it gradually spread to their tails, and then their entire bodies began to move.

"They're alive!"

"The sisters actually came back to life, they're alive."

"Brother-in-law is amazing!"

The Heaven-Swallowing Carps shouted excitedly upon seeing their tragically dead sisters come back to life.

The Little Koi was so happy she wept, throwing herself into Qin Xuan's arms like a fledgling returning to the nest, "Qin Xuan, thank you, I really don't know what to say."

"If it weren't for you, my sisters would have died for sure."

"Thank you, thank you for saving them!"

Just a moment ago, the Little Koi felt as if she were in a desert where all was lost, helpless and desperate.

She could see no hope at all, and Qin Xuan's intervention was like a large hand carrying hope reaching out from the desert.

In an instant, the desert was covered in blooming flowers, full of vitality and upward momentum.

Qin Xuan saved the Heaven-Swallowing Carps, which was equivalent to picking up the Little Koi's shattered heart piece by piece and repairing it perfectly, with no cracks to be seen.

At this moment, there was nothing else in the Little Koi's mind, only Qin Xuan's figure.

She hugged Qin Xuan's waist tightly in excitement, wishing she could rub herself into his arms!

"Cough, cough..."

Qin Xuan coughed lightly in embarrassment, not saying anything.

He silently enjoyed the softness and warmth in his embrace.

Not to mention, despite the Little Koi being slender, she actually had some substance.

It wasn't some proud, massive object, but it had a palm-sized warmth and softness, like a white flour bun that one couldn't finish in one bite.

Having grown accustomed to "big fish and meat" like Mu Qingxue and Scarlet Thorn, suddenly having some "green vegetables" was quite a unique flavor.

Until the Little Koi in his arms gradually calmed down, Qin Xuan said sternly, "Actually, it's not just my effort. If the Soul fragments hadn't dissipated, even I would have been helpless."

In normal times, he would definitely take all the credit and claim the achievement for himself.

Then he would pretend to be pale and exhausted, inciting the Little Koi's pity, and then have her throw herself into his arms.

If you don't take advantage, you're an idiot!

But clearly, at this moment, there was an invisible hand behind all this, manipulating everything.

Except for the Kunpeng that swallowed them into its belly, who else could it be?

His every word and action were probably being watched by the Kunpeng.

He couldn't steal the credit from this Divine Beast; that would obviously be courting death.

"The Soul fragments didn't dissipate? Who has such energy?"

The Little Koi tilted her head, glancing at the resurrected sisters in the pot, who were being crowded and slowly flapping their pectoral fins.

Obviously, she didn't have much thought to pay attention, a warm and happy smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.

Qin Xuan pointed upward with his finger and said bluntly, "The Kunpeng, who else could it be but the Kunpeng?"

"I even suspect that those Immortal Stones were deliberately given to you by the Kunpeng, and this True Phoenix Nest was also intentionally led us here by the Kunpeng."

"Does your Heaven-Swallowing Carp clan have some great being who is an acquaintance with this Kunpeng?"

"For example, your grandfather?"

As soon as the words fell, light appeared in the distance.

Whoosh, whoosh—

The familiar sound of wind whistling, along with the sound of giant waves crashing, rang out again.

The irresistible suction force now turned into a pushing force, pushing Qin Xuan and the Little Koi to leave this place.

"Damn it! My True Phoenix Nest."

Even Qin Xuan cursed.

He didn't expect the Kunpeng to start spitting them out now.

The True Phoenix Nest was still here!

He couldn't care about anything else, charging against the wind towards the True Phoenix Nest, and stuffed the massive True Phoenix Nest into the ancient prison-suppressing tower in one go.

This thing was his ticket to seeing the Holy Master of Yaochi's true face; it couldn't be lost!

"These four pillars can carry the Phoenix's Origin Fire, they shouldn't be ordinary things either."

When a goose flies by, pluck its feathers; when a beast passes, leave its skin.

Qin Xuan refused nothing, taking the four pillars, along with the giant stones and sand that piled up into the altar nearby, not letting go of a single bit, and swept them all into the ancient prison-suppressing tower.
