Chapter 77: Big Brother’s Going to Boost Your Prestige
In just half a month’s time, the southern half of Qinzhou underwent significant changes.
Liu Shunyi managed to gather intel about the secret realm.
It’s set to appear in one year’s time.
But guess what? That secret realm isn’t on the ground—it’s in the sky!
Although the secret realm hasn’t manifested yet, Liu Shunyi ended up bumping into a crowd—a sea of people, to be honest.
And they were all cultivators!
However, the highest cultivation level he came across was only at the Golden Core stage.
He hadn’t seen any Nascent Soul cultivators or above.
Nascent Soul cultivators are generally not easy to find.
Liu Shunyi was feeling a bit speechless about it.
The Golden Core cultivators? They’re not even worth considering as rivals.
Not being able to spot any Nascent Soul folks could make things tricky.
This Heavenly Golden List was indeed a bit demanding.
On the bright side, he finally located the Heavenly God Sect’s base.
Liu Shunyi was ecstatic.
“Heavenly God Sect, here I come!”
Ecstatic, he grabbed a disciple from the Heavenly God Sect, killed him, and then donned his clothes.
Soon after, he made his way toward their base.
It wasn’t long before he was blocked by two guys.
“You! What are you doing here?” one of the disciples asked.
Hearing their accents, Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but want to give them a smack.
But for the sake of his big plan, he held back.
Liu Shunyi quickly said, “Uh, I’m Gan Li Niang. I’m here to report to the big boss!”
The two of them looked utterly confused.
“Gan Li Niang? Never heard of that!”
Liu Shunyi waved his hands in frustration.
“No, no, it’s Gan Li Niang!”
“Oh, oh! We mean you, Gan Li Niang!”
Unable to hold it in anymore, Liu Shunyi cursed, “Damn it!”
And then became a whirlwind of action, slapping both of their heads off.
The commotion immediately caught the attention of others from the Heavenly God Sect.
In the blink of an eye, countless disciples rushed out.
Liu Shunyi turned and tried to make an exit.
But just before he could flee too far, a woman in a massive robe commanded the disciples to retreat.
Liu Shunyi paused, taken aback.
The woman stepped out from the base and looked at him with a piercing gaze. “You’re one of Fujino Matsushita’s subordinates, aren’t you?”
Liu Shunyi was momentarily stunned.
Even though he had no clue what was going on, he was quick to nod.
“Uh, yeah, that’s me!”
To his surprise, the woman smiled brightly, even with a sort of sunny demeanor.
Then she pulled out a dagger and tossed it in front of Liu Shunyi.
Liu Shunyi was like, “??? ”
The woman continued, “Fujino Matsushita requested the highest form of self-termination. I agreed, and as his subordinate, you’ll adopt the same highest self-termination method. So, go ahead and commit seppuku!”
Liu Shunyi: “…”
What the heck?
I’m just casually wearing this outfit, and now I’m thrown into a situation like this?
He looked at the woman, feeling a bit forlorn. “I just came to take a stroll. Why do you have to push me into this?”
The woman stared at him blankly. “??? ”
“Pfft, pfft, pfft…”
The Qingping Sword transformed into a stream of light, weaving through the crowd.
In barely ten seconds, everyone in that vicinity was wiped out.
Only the robed woman remained unharmed.
But now, her face held a fierce expression.
“A Golden Core cultivator? Who the heck are you?”
Liu Shunyi just chuckled, “You’re dealing with Ri Chuan Gangban!”
With that, he turned and bolted.
Well, he wasn’t truly running away.
It’s just that the Heavenly God Sect operated in such secrecy.
Even this base was merely a branch.
As for why he didn’t kill that woman, it was simply to track her down and locate other Heavenly God Sect bases.
Sure enough, this branch got wiped out, and the woman was left shock-stunned.
Because she was now the only survivor.
She needed to report back fast.
Most importantly, Ri Chuan Gangban—wasn’t that Abe Luoxue’s former bodyguard?
Was this her idea?
This was a crucial matter.
He had to report to the sect leader.
For the next two days, Liu Shunyi followed closely behind her.
Eventually, Liu Shunyi was shocked to see the direction she was heading.
Because it was not far from the Qinglian Sect’s base.
More precisely, this group was right in the damn Qinglian Sect!
Liu Shunyi was dumbfounded.
“Wait, why do these idiots always have beef with the Qinglian Sect? Their base is literally hidden inside the Qinglian Sect? What gives?”
Confused, he pondered his next move.
After a moment, Liu Shunyi decided to just stroll into the Qinglian Sect headquarters.
Of course, Liu Shunyi’s easy entry into the Qinglian Sect was thanks to Chen Qiaoli.
She had given him a formation token that allowed him free access to the Qinglian Sect’s formations.
There was no denying it; Chen Qiaoli’s understanding of formations was downright terrifying…
———
Once inside the Qinglian Sect, Liu Shunyi was left speechless again.
Because the Heavenly God Sect people were blatantly hanging out in some other rooms within the Qinglian Sect.
And they even had signs up!
“No way! What’s up with this Qinglian Sect?”
He approached the Heavenly God Sect’s area only to be stopped once more.
“Hey! This is the Heavenly God Sect’s base! You can’t go in!”
Liu Shunyi instantly flared up.
But he didn’t lash out right away.
Instead, he slowly retreated.
However, something still felt off.
“Wait a minute!”
He then noticed that although these folks were wearing Qinglian Sect robes, many were tattered, and some even weren’t wearing them properly.
Taking another look at the Qinglian Sect’s sign and the disciples there, he finally pieced it together.
“They’re just pulling a fast one?”
It made sense.
Recently, Zhao Gou’s name had been spreading like wildfire.
Who would dare impersonate the Qinglian Sect?
And just because no one would dare fake the Qinglian Sect, the appearance of a Heavenly God Sect base wouldn’t raise any eyebrows either.
Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but chuckle.
“By the time they pull their shady business, it’s all gonna be pinned on the Qinglian Sect!”
“Alright then!”
Suddenly grinning, Liu Shunyi declared, “Zhao Gou, big brother’s about to give you a boost in prestige!”
With that, he shot up into the air.
In an instant, he was surrounded by green light.
This was his wood attribute spiritual energy, but with a twist—it had a healing effect.
Unlike anyone else, he infused it with electromagnetic power.
“Heavenly God Sect, how dare you impersonate my Qinglian Sect! Do you really think Zhao Gou’s just sitting around?”
“Universal Salvation~”
No sooner had he spoken than the green light intensified, and under the influence of that electromagnetic force, members of the Heavenly God Sect began to explode, looking just like those who exploded earlier.
In a flash, the Heavenly God Sect was obliterated.
Once the light faded away, Liu Shunyi swiftly made his getaway.
After he left, fellow cultivators rushed in.
Upon seeing the bloody scene in what was supposed to be the fake Qinglian Sect, lifeless and devoid of any energy, everyone couldn’t help but gasp in fear.
“Elder Zhao Gou is way too terrifying!”
