Chapter 240: Chapter 186: Star Sun Horse Division (2)

Wang Hao, standing to the side, also turned pale. ’He’s got some serious nerve,’ he thought. ’He even dares to ride a Wind Patrol Envoy of the Star Sun Horse Division.’

That position was on par with the division’s Saintess!

The next moment, the starlight surrounding Xingyao’s body suddenly contracted inward before erupting outward.

When the light faded, the majestic unicorn form was gone. In its place stood a young woman!

She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with skin as white as snow and long, silver hair. Her features were exquisitely beautiful, carrying an ethereal grace, as if she didn’t belong to the mortal world.

However, her lower half was not human. It was the body of a horse, covered in snow-white fur with graceful, sleek muscles! Four silver hooves pawed restlessly at the ground.

She was an exceedingly rare Centaur Demon with a pure Celestial Horse bloodline!

Qin Xuan was momentarily stunned. When he came to his senses, he subconsciously glanced toward her horse tail.

"A female... You’re not a native creature of this Secret Realm?"

Xingyao was both humiliated and furious. Her eyes swam with tears as she felt Qin Xuan still mounted on her horse body. A numbing sensation made her tremble all over, and her voice was choked with sobs.

"You... you... get off! I’ve already submitted. How can you humiliate me like this..."

Qin Xuan hadn’t expected the Starlight Unicorn to be a transformed Centaur Demon.

The small, exquisite starlight horn on Xingyao’s forehead was now even more conspicuous.

But Qin Xuan was incredibly thick-skinned and instantly regained his composure.

Not only did he not get off, but he said coolly, "Since you’ve submitted, you are my mount. Where is the humiliation in that? From now on, I will call you Xingyao."

"Come on, run a couple of laps."

...

「Before the Xingdu Water Mirror.」

Daoist Monarch Mao Ri, who had been watching the Star Sun Horse Secret Realm, shot to his feet. His face was ashen, and the vertical golden marking on his forehead throbbed!

"That bastard... How dare he!"

He trembled with rage, wishing he could tear open the Secret Realm’s space that very instant and shred that Human Race brat into a million pieces.

"Hahaha, old man Mao Ri, if I’m not mistaken, that’s the Wind Patrol Envoy with the Celestial Horse bloodline your Star Sun Horse Division so carefully nurtured within the Secret Realm, isn’t she?"

"Judging by her age, she might even be your daughter, right?"

Not far away, Ci Tie Daoist Monarch laughed mockingly.

"Didn’t you just say that the younger generation’s squabbles all come down to their individual fortunes? What’s wrong? Can’t take it when your own precious bloodline gets ridden like a beast? Hahaha, this is karma! True karma!"

"A dignified Wind Patrol Envoy of the Star Sun Divine Race, forcefully tamed as a mount by a junior from the Human Race. If word of this gets out, I can’t imagine how many people will laugh their heads off."

Lady of Plague also covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Tsk, tsk. It seems the reputation of the Star Sun Horse Division doesn’t carry much weight."

"A mere Purple Mansion junior from the Human Race dares to run wild like this, forcefully taking your noble daughter as a mount... Fellow Daoist Mao Ri, your dignity as a Nascent Soul Daoist Monarch has been trampled into the dirt and ground underfoot today!"

Daoist Monarch Mao Ri’s face turned red with anger and embarrassment from their taunts, veins bulging on his forehead, yet he couldn’t refute them.

He could only glare at the Water Mirror, grinding his teeth.

"Liu Mobai, is it... This venerable one will remember you!"

...

「On the Star Sun Grassland」

The commotion from Qin Xuan taming Xingyao had long since alerted the nearby Star Sun Horse Division Cultivators.

Four streaks of light were seen streaking over at high speed.

They landed and transformed into four Centaur Cultivators.

They were all adult male Centaurs, tall and sturdy. Their upper bodies were knotted with muscle, their lower horse bodies were powerful and majestic, and they glared at Qin Xuan, weapons in hand.

The leader, a coarse-featured man holding a heavy spear wreathed in starlight, roared in fury.

"You ant from the Human Race, you’re courting death! Release Lady Xingyao at once, and I might leave you with an intact corpse!"

Qin Xuan, still on Xingyao’s back, asked, "Do you know him?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Like a soulless puppet, Xingyao shook her head.

Xingyi’s pupils contracted. He froze in place as if struck by lightning.

"Despicable human... What trick did you use? How dare you defile Lady Xingyao to this degree... Die!"

Xingyi looked crazed. He pointed his spear, and the four Centaur Cultivators immediately formed a battle formation, charging forward with overwhelming killing intent!

Previously, this might have been a bit of trouble for Qin Xuan.

But now, having just tamed Xingyao, his momentum was at its peak. He didn’t dodge or evade. Instead, he slapped his mount, Xingyao, and activated the Holy Sect Beast Taming Technique.

"Go, Xingyao! Charge!"

"No..."

Xingyao snapped back to reality, wanting to die from shame and indignation, but Qin Xuan had already planted an imprint in her sea of consciousness. She was completely unable to resist his command.

She let out a sorrowful cry, her four hooves treading on starlight, and charged ferociously toward the battle formation!

Riding on the back of the Centaur girl, Qin Xuan’s body was as steady as Mount Tai. His Lifebound Longsword shot from its sheath.

"Great Sun Heaven-Burning and Earth-Scorching!"

The Majestic Sword Light instantly transformed into a hundred scorching streams of Sword Qi, blanketing the four Centaurs like a wildfire sweeping across a prairie.

Xingyi spun his long spear like a wheel, but he found the Sword Qi to be incomparably scorching. It could even burn his Star Power and sent a numbing shock through his arm.

In a single exchange, four elite, Late-stage Purple Mansion Cultivators from the Star Sun Horse Division were forcefully suppressed by Qin Xuan with just one sword!

"Lady Xingyao, can you please not listen to that human’s commands? Otherwise, we don’t dare to strike back!"

One of the Centaurs was struck hard by a Thunder Rope, spat out a mouthful of blood, and cried out in agony.

’Is that so?’

’Getting to hit someone who won’t hit back? I love it!’

Seizing the advantage, Qin Xuan showed no mercy, riding Xingyao into their formation like a whirlwind.

He periodically threw out his Imperial Extreme’s Shocking Fist.

He battered Xingyi’s group of four, forcing them into a steady retreat, their armor shattered and their bodies dripping with blood!

In just a dozen exchanges, three of the Centaurs were struck in the chest by one of Qin Xuan’s Fist Seals. With the sound of cracking bones, they fell unconscious.

Soon, only Xingyi was left, his face filled with terror, his heart trembling with fear.

"Submit, or die."

Qin Xuan’s mocking voice rang out again as he pointed his Lifebound Longsword at Xingyi’s throat.

Xingyi shut his eyes in sorrow and anger, dropped his spear, and knelt on the ground.

"That’s more like it... Wang Hao, come here and try riding him."

Wang Hao was so terrified he didn’t dare to move, shaking his head like a rattle drum.

’This is a dignified Cultivator from the Star Sun Divine Race! Forget riding him, I wouldn’t even dare to look up if I saw one on a normal day!’

"Sigh. With a disposition like yours, how will you ever accomplish anything great?"

Qin Xuan gleefully collected the Soul Essences of the fallen few, and the number on his Token skyrocketed once more.

He glanced into the distance, sensing more powerful auras faintly approaching, and knew he couldn’t stay long.

Qin Xuan slapped Xingyao. "Let’s go!"

Xingyao let out a humiliated whinny, her hooves kicking up starlight. Carrying Qin Xuan, she transformed into a streak of light and disappeared deep into the Star Sun Grassland.

...

Before the Water Mirror, Venerable Mao Ri’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Meanwhile, the mocking laughter of Venerable Cite and the Lady of Plague grew even more unrestrained.

With a fine mount like Xingyao, Qin Xuan no longer hid. Instead, he actively sought out Cultivators from other divisions to collect their Starfire Essences.

"He’s a madman! That human is a madman!"

"Isn’t that the Wind Patrol Envoy from the Star Sun Horse Division? Did he eat a bear’s heart and a leopard’s gall? How does he dare?"

"Quick, get away from him... He’s heading east!"

The Cultivators inside the Star Sun Horse Secret Realm were scared out of their wits and fled from him.

One day, Qin Xuan pursued a squad of Evil Horn Division Cultivators to a grove of twisted, ancient trees.

Hidden within the woods was another dilapidated Ancient Teleportation Array.

Its Array Patterns were similar to the one in the Winged Fire Serpent Secret Realm, but they looked even more ancient.

Without hesitation, Qin Xuan threw in more Spirit Stones!

Light flashed, and the space around them shifted.

The next moment, he appeared in a completely different world.

An overwhelmingly dense Yi Wood Qi of Life washed over him.

Wang Hao said joyfully, "Liu Xingshi, we’ve arrived at the Jingmu’an Secret Realm!"

The sky was a soft turquoise.

Strange flowers and exotic grasses covered the ground, and a fragrance that calmed the spirit drifted through the air.

"Hm?" Just as Qin Xuan stabilized himself, a surprised and then joyful cry came from behind him.

"Master Demon Child?"

"Senior Brother Liu... What are you doing here?!"

Two Cultivators dressed in the attire of an exotic Human Race clan emerged from behind a giant tree.

One wore an elegant green robe, had a handsome face, and a longsword hanging from his waist.

The other was tall and brawny, wearing a Beast Skin vest and carrying a longbow on his back. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle’s.

It was none other than Wei Qingyi and Ji Boying, whom Qin Xuan hadn’t seen in a long time!

"Junior Brother Wei, Junior Brother Ji."

Qin Xuan was also a bit surprised to run into old acquaintances in a foreign land within an Exotic Secret Realm.

"I stumbled into an Ancient Teleportation Array and ended up here."

Wei Qingyi looked Qin Xuan up and down.

When he saw the two majestic, teary-eyed Centaur Demons with extraordinary auras behind him, his eyes flashed with utter shock.

"Senior Brother Liu... Your Cultivation... And these mounts?"

Ji Boying’s eyes lit up even more. He pointed at Xingyi and asked:

"What a magnificently uncommon steed! Master Demon Child, may I try riding him?"
