Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 280 - 85: Pah, So Salty!

"Why does this place have water stains with a smell again? It’s not from a fierce beast, it must have been left by someone. But what exactly is it?"

Not long after the Spirit Corpse Mountain troops left, a burly and robust man stood before the water stain, squatting down to carefully observe.

"Could it have been left by Little Sister?"

The man scratched his head and muttered, "When Little Sister ran away from home, she had already become smaller, completely forgetting her identity. If she peed anywhere, it seems understandable?"

His name is Ming Hu, the senior brother of Thunder Sword City, and the little sister he refers to is the world-famous Thunder Sword Fairy, Su Hongling.

However, after the battle at Celestial Ridge Mountain, Su Hongling was injured and had some issues with her body.

Later, because her father, Su Longxiang, wanted her to marry Ming Hu, they had a big argument and even a fistfight.

This caused Su Hongling to break her own Thunderclap Sword, and she left in a fit, taking Thunder Sword Sect’s treasured artifact with her.

The most worrying thing was that when she left home, her body was already not well, her memory completely lost, and her mentality like a child’s.

Su Longxiang sent people everywhere to search and finally discovered that Su Hongling appeared in the Northern Wilderness and entered it with companions.

Among these companions, there was even a good-looking man!

Thus, Ming Hu couldn’t sit still any longer and hurriedly left Thunder Sword City, heading straight for the Northern Wilderness. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

He had been in the Northern Wilderness for several days, searching all the way for traces of his little sister.

Near Cloud Pattern Mountain, he saw traces of his little sister using the treasure of Thunder Sword City, and also learned that Cloud Pattern Mountain had been massacred by the Spirit Corpse Mountain.

Ming Hu guessed that his little sister was likely also involved. Just then, he discovered the large troop of Spirit Corpse Mountain, so he quietly followed behind.

At this moment, looking at the mysterious water stains he had been encountering for the past two days, he hesitated for a moment and bent down to sniff carefully.

"Pah! So salty! It must have been left by a tigress in heat, damn it, how unlucky!"

He spat a few times, stood up, and looked at the distant dust raised by the moving large troop of Spirit Corpse Mountain.

"Spirit Corpse Mountain is also heading to the southernmost part of the Northern Wilderness. I should go check it out. Maybe Little Sister is over there."

...

Five days later.

In a beautifully scenic bamboo forest.

Here, they were very close to Cloud Bamboo Mountain, so there were gradually more bamboos along the way.

At this moment, Niantang was holding a teaching whip made of bamboo, instructing Qin Gengyun and others in their cultivation.

After these days of cultivation, Yun Zhen’s Cloud Pattern Star Spear was beginning to take shape, while Fang Xue had directly broken through the First-Layer, reaching the Second-Layer of Foundation Establishment.

Although Mo Xiaolan and Qin Gengyun hadn’t broken through, their gains were the greatest.

Every day, Mo Xiaolan used orchid petals to refine Qin Gengyun’s body, enhancing her mastery and application of the orchid on multiple levels.

Qin Gengyun’s physical strength had also improved significantly, and now he could withstand the attacks of five Spirit Corpse Kings without any issue.

"Continue on, Qin Gengyun, come with me."

Niantang suddenly spoke, and the others respectfully agreed. Niantang pondered for a moment and said to Mo Xiaolan:

"You come too."

"Yes."

Mo Xiaolan and Qin Gengyun followed Niantang to the depths of the bamboo forest. With a casual wave of his hand, an isolation array appeared around the three of them.

"Is Master also an Array Master?"

Qin Gengyun frowned slightly but quickly relaxed, realizing that Niantang had used a talisman inscribed with the array, not something he had drawn on the spot.

Was he really just missing his wife too much, letting his imagination run wild?

At this moment, Niantang placed his hands behind his back, his voice cold and stern:

"Qin Gengyun, I know you want to walk the path of using your body as a shield. You are not the first to take this path. Hundreds of years ago, some walked it, but this type of body cultivator mostly could only take a beating passively and couldn’t defeat an enemy on their own. That’s why gradually no one dared to take this path anymore."

"Your cultivation technique and mindset suit this path, but you should also learn from the experience of predecessors. Though your body is a shield, it cannot merely defend without attacking. If you can make one hand a shield and the other a spear, you will be able to compensate for your shortcomings and catch the enemy off guard."

Qin Gengyun immediately bowed, "Master’s teachings are wise. May I ask you, Master, if you are to teach me the way of the spear?"

Niantang nodded, "I will teach you two moves, Setting Sun and Moon-breaking."

"The so-called Setting Sun is as bright as a blazing sun, covering miles, capable of slaying tens of thousands in one stroke."

"The so-called Moon-breaking gathers power from the heavens, attacking a single person. If perfected, even a contemporary fairy cannot withstand it!"

Qin Gengyun understood. Simply put, Setting Sun was about range attacks, while Moon-breaking focused on singular strikes.

"Master, why does Moon-breaking only target fairies? Can’t it be used on men?"

He asked, puzzled.

"Who said it’s only for fairies? Do you only see women in your eyes?"

Niantang snorted coldly, and Qin Gengyun quickly bowed, "I misunderstood. Please forgive me, Master."

He thought to himself, it was clearly you, Master, who mentioned "a contemporary fairy," and now you’re blaming me.

Thinking further, Master, with your dazzling beauty, unmatched even without your veil, and yet unlisted, it’s understandable you would hold a grudge against those renowned fairies.

Mo Xiaolan shared the same thought, quietly pressing her lips to suppress her laughter.

Qin Gengyun’s master may seem cold and stern, but in truth, her personality was quite endearing. He truly considered himself fortunate to have encountered a resilient yet gentle wife and a cool but affectionate master.

In reality, the two of them were indeed mistaken.

In fact, the Moon-breaking move was specifically designed to target Ye Xiyue and Su Hongling.

At her peak of cultivation, Xia Qinglian had already demonstrated the capability to establish her own sect.

Setting Sun and Moon-breaking were her own creations.

Because the Cyan Lotus Sect was often outnumbered by the Three Great Sects, Setting Sun was specifically designed for facing overwhelming odds.

As for Moon-breaking, Xia Qinglian had an ongoing rivalry with Ye Xiyue and Su Hongling, and this move was created to defeat both.

Though Su Hongling was the fighter, Xia Qinglian grew tired of Ye Xiyue’s pretenses, thus the naming of "Moon-breaking."

Initially, she hadn’t managed to perfect these moves when the Three Great Sects suddenly besieged the Cyan Lotus Sect, so Setting Sun and Moon-breaking hadn’t yet seen the light of day.

But now, teaching them to Qin Gengyun was perfectly fitting.

In the future, even if he was to use them, no one could trace the origins of the technique back to him, thus avoiding unnecessary troubles.

Though Niantang thought she had considered everything carefully, she had overlooked something, and teaching Qin Gengyun eventually led to complications.

Setting Sun and Moon-breaking had already been adjusted according to Qin Gengyun’s cultivation technique characteristics, and he quickly learned them.

Mo Xiaolan, who observed from the side, although the moves did not suit her, she too gained insights.

Both gained something.

Under Niantang’s attentive guidance, Qin Gengyun comprehended the two moves within half a day.

Then came practical application.

First, Setting Sun.

Niantang released countless red Spiritual Qi Bullets into the air as imaginary foes, while Qin Gengyun wielded the Heaven-Reaching Staff, executing Setting Sun.

This technique swept like an army across the field, instantly giving rise to a blazing sun. Its searing brilliance bathed the land, sweeping like fire and dissolving the innumerable Spiritual Qi Bullets.

"Succeeded!"

Mo Xiaolan rejoiced, then was startled, quickly stepping forward to support Qin Gengyun, who was falling backwards.

"Qin Gengyun, Qin Gengyun!"

Qin Gengyun’s face was as pale as paper, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and he had unexpectedly lost consciousness.
