Chapter 468: Chapter 467: A Brief Tour of the Secular World
Qin Yanyang’s words caught Mo Li and the other two off guard. Immediately afterward, Zuo Wenjun sternly and coldly fixed his gaze on Qin Yanyang, saying, "Girl, have you truly gone mad? Do you realize the consequences of your actions?"
With a resolute expression, Qin Yanyang said, "I am aware of what I am doing."
A flash of murderous intent crossed Chen Liangzhong’s eyes as he coldly said, "Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?"
A chill ran through Qin Yanyang’s heart. Facing three Divine Travel Realm experts, she had maintained high vigilance from the start. Now, sensing the strong murderous intent emanating from them, she naturally felt fear, but her expression remained unchanged, and she firmly said, "Senior certainly can kill me, but if I die here, everyone from the Hidden Sect will be buried with me."
"Damn it, you dare to threaten me?" Chen Liangzhong roared in anger, his powerful spiritual power forming a shock wave aimed straight at Qin Yanyang.
The expressions of Zuo Wenjun and Mo Li drastically changed as they both cried out in alarm, "No!"
Both of them stimulated their Divine Thought, blocking Chen Liangzhong’s Divine Soul attack against Qin Yanyang.
Even so, Qin Yanyang still felt an invisible force striking her, causing a momentary short circuit in her mind.
Fortunately, Yang Fei had already taught her the method of nourishing the soul and dealing with spiritual power attacks. This state lasted only a moment before disappearing.
Greatly shocked in her heart, Qin Yanyang’s eyes still flashed with a cold murderous intent. She grabbed Zhuge Qingyun by the throat and said to Chen Liangzhong, "He will die because of you!"
"Snap!"
A crisp sound of bones shattering was heard, and Zhuge Qingyun’s eyes bulged as he died on the spot.
To his death, he couldn’t understand why Qin Yanyang dared to kill him.
Such an unjust death this was.
At the same time, Mo Li, Chen Liangzhong, and Zuo Wenjun were also incredibly shocked.
They knew Qin Yanyang’s determination to enter the Hidden Sect to rescue Yang Fei, but they had not expected her resolve to be so immense.
To dare kill the hostage Zhuge Qingyun right in front of them, had this girl truly gone mad?
At this moment, the three Divine Travel Realm experts all sensed Qin Yanyang’s strong determination.
They no longer had the slightest doubt about her words.
"Well, well! You dare to kill the Zhuge family’s boy right before our eyes, you ..." Chen Liangzhong, after a moment of shock, regained his composure, angrily pointing at Qin Yanyang and loudly scolding her. But before he could finish, Qin Yanyang interrupted, "I killed him, but it was you who drove him to death."
Chen Liangzhong angrily said, "You crazy girl, now that you no longer have a hostage, how can you negotiate with us?"
Qin Yanyang sneered, "There are still eighteen people outside. As far as I know, they are all talented youths from the Eight Great Forces."
Chen Liangzhong furiously said, "You wouldn’t dare kill them all, would you?"
"If my husband is unharmed, they can all live. But if anything happens to him in the Hidden Sect World, someone must pay the price," Qin Yanyang said resolutely.
She was not reckless by nature. Before entering the Hidden Sect to rescue Yang Fei, she had thought through countless methods.
But in the end, she found there was only one path she could take.
That was to gamble with the lives of Hidden Sect experts.
She was betting that the Hidden Sect World’s experts wouldn’t dare overturn the table while she dared.
"Brother Chen, Brother Zuo, please calm yourselves. I’ll go out and check," said Mo Li in a deep voice.
Zuo Wenjun thought for a moment and then said, "Brother Chen, why don’t you and Brother Mo take a trip together? I’ll stay here and keep an eye on her."
They still didn’t fully believe that Qin Yanyang had the capability to instantly take all the Hidden Sect members who had previously left as hostages.
If those useless fellows had indeed become prisoners and Qin Yanyang had already deployed her troops, making preparations to sever ties completely with the Hidden Sect, then it was a grave matter, and the three of them could not rashly act against Qin Yanyang.
"Alright then, please Brother Zuo, take good care of this girl," Chen Liangzhong said gravely.
Seeing these two powerhouses leaving together to check the situation, Qin Yanyang tensed up, uncertain whether the members of the Military Department and the stationed elite special forces outside could pose a threat to them.
Nevertheless, at this stage, she could only quietly wait for the outcome.
The high-tech weapons designed specifically for these expert warriors were to be completely revealed today, making the so-called experts of the Hidden Sect feel the real threat.
"Don’t say I didn’t warn you two, be careful," Qin Yanyang said indifferently.
If Duanmu Cong and Zhuge Qingyun died, it would provoke the enmity of two huge aristocratic families, but Yang Fei had already made enemies with these two families before.
However, it was different with Mo Li and Chen Liangzhong.
These two were top-tier experts in the Hidden Sect World, and their deaths would mean something completely different, potentially triggering an all-out war between the two realms.
This mutually destructive outcome wasn’t what Qin Yanyang wanted.
"Hmph, how could a mere mortal army threaten me?" Chen Liangzhong said confidently and arrogantly.
Zuo Wenjun still couldn’t help but remind them, "The two of you must not be careless, treat this with caution."
Although Mo Li was also confident, believing that there would be no problems with him and Chen Liangzhong traveling together, he was somewhat more humble and replied, "Don’t worry, Brother Zuo, we will be right back."
After speaking, Chen Liangzhong and Mo Li left together and quickly reached the entrance of the passage.
The guards posted there didn’t dare to ask any questions and watched helplessly as the two disappeared into the spatial passage.
In the depths of Death Valley, Mo Yinpeng led the members of the Military Department, tightly guarding outside the passage entrance, watching intently.
They knew the minister had just entered; if things didn’t go smoothly, he might come back out immediately, or someone from inside might come out, as Qin Yanyang had deduced before going in.
After waiting for less than ten minutes, a violent fluctuation indeed came from the void on the other side, and the space currents surged crazily.
The next instant, two figures appeared.
Through the high-precision monitoring equipment, it was seen that these two had strong auras; the energy detectors showed powerful energy fluctuations. Recalling Qin Yanyang’s reminder, Mo Yinpeng loudly ordered, "Capture them."
"Buzz... buzz buzz..."
The members of the Military Department were already prepared, four of them carrying special weapons, releasing a deafening sonic wave that stunned the soul.
In the sky, just as Mo Li and Chen Liangzhong crossed through, they were met by the terrifying sonic wave sweeping over.
The two felt their eardrums might burst, their spirits unsettled, and even their Sea of Consciousness was greatly shaken, their Divine Souls nearly shattered, their minds a chaotic void.
It was too dreadful!
How could there be such a frequency of special sonic wave?
"Energy Cannon!" Mo Yinpeng issued the order again.
The specialty high-tech weapons had already locked on Mo Li and Chen Liangzhong. Amid the shrill piercing sound, numerous energy bombs bombarded them at an astonishing speed.
"Boom..."
In the midst of loud explosions, flames shot into the sky.
Chen Liangzhong and Mo Li had not fully recovered from the attack of the sonic wave when they saw the bombs flying towards them.
Banking on their formidable cultivation, they activated their Protective Gang Qi while swinging their hands, sending out Qi waves through the air trying to block the bombs.
However, the bombs, possessing great penetrating power, despite being greatly obstructed, still exploded within less than ten meters of the two.
The terrifying blast engulfed them instantly.
If it were just one bomb, it indeed wouldn’t threaten these two Divine Travel Realm experts.
But the combined power of more than a dozen bombs exploding simultaneously was enough to pose a grave threat to them.
Amid their groans, Chen Liangzhong and Mo Li felt the blood and Qi in their bodies overturn; just this round of attacks had caused them internal injuries.
Seeing that the other side was ordering another attack, the two exchanged glances, without a moment of hesitation, they pushed off against the void and in an instant slipped into the spatial rift, escaping back to the Hidden Sect World.
The two experts from the Hidden Sect World had barely shown their faces in the mortal realm before being chased back.
This came to be known colloquially as "A Fleeting Visit to the Mortal Realm!"
