Mission: Seduce the Master! - Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Ancestral Cave (Part 2)
“Brother Xu!”

“Hm?”

Xie Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard a familiar voice. He turned and found that it was a smiling Huang Jing.

“Oh, it’s you, Brother Huang,” Xie Qing reacted with a smile.

Huang Jing finally caught up with Xie Qing with two disciples and then laughed happily.

“We finally meet! I was hoping you would send me a letter, and I was already disappointed that my Eyes of Destiny were wrong. You turned out to be a person connected to me by destiny!”

“Um…”

Xie Qing forced a smile. He knew about Huang Jing’s ability, as it was not particularly hidden. The Huang family had a special gift where they could see the threads of destiny and had strong intuition.

Although at first, this made Xie Qing regain confidence that Huang Jing had some intentions, after analyzing this person’s personality, he realized that he deserved trust.

However, it wouldn’t hurt to be careful, so Xie Qing did not reveal his real name.

“Oh, that letter, right… I was a bit busy with my breakthrough, so I had to go into closed cultivation,” Xie Qing said with an apologetic look on his face. “I’m sorry, that was rude of me.”

“No-no, bro, don’t apologize! I understand everything.”

Huang Jing smiled and secretly checked Xie Qing’s Qi, only to be shocked. He couldn’t establish exactly which sub-realm he was in, but one thing was clear…

“He’s a Core Formation cultivator!”

The two other cultivators behind Huang Jing immediately recognized the interlocutor as a cultivator of their level, so they were not surprised, but Huang Jing knew that at their last meeting, Xie Qing was at the Foundation Establishment stage!

“It hasn’t been more than six months since then… how could he jump over levels like that?” Huang Jing thought in shock.

In the cultivation world, a cultivator who could overcome one sub-realm every two or three years was considered talented, but… six months was too short a time for this! Moreover, it was an improvement of three levels at once!

Huang Jing felt a chill run down his scalp. He couldn’t help but imagine what would happen if the world learned about this talent. There would be a war just to possess him.

With such potential, Huang Jing did not doubt that if Xie Qing were in the hands of a devilish sect, he would easily become the strongest cultivator and destroy those who did not obey him.

“Brother Xu, it’s good that you’re on the side of the righteous cultivators,” Huang Jing said with relief in his voice, patting Xie Qing on the shoulder.

“Hm?”

The young man tilted his head to the side, not understanding what was being talked about.

“I guess his frequent trips to the red-light district have completely rotted this guy’s brain,” Xie Qing thought.

***

Since they were acquainted, Xie Qing decided to go with Huang Jing to the Ancestral Cave, as he had nothing to lose.

To quickly reach the designated place, you had to make a lot of effort, but… why make an effort when there’s transportation?

“…”

Xie Qing swallowed hard and looked under his feet. He was standing on a large sword that was a vehicle endowed with a formation.

Although Xie Qing’s expression was indifferent, in his thoughts, he already wanted to go home. He was at a height of twenty meters, which was too much for someone who was riding a sword for the first time!

And although it was hard to overcome his fear, Xie Qing still held on and after a few minutes, he began to feel good. They flew at a speed of 80 km/h, and it was not felt because the sword was equipped with formations… in short, the service “We will make you comfortable for your money!”

Buying such swords cost 5,000,000 Huang, by the way. Just saying.

At this speed, they quickly reached their destination, and a significant factor was that they did not have to go through forests, cross rivers, and encounter dangerous monsters.

Landing, Huang Jing, and Xie Qing looked around. There was already a large crowd of strong cultivators here, and most of them were at the Core Formation level. Each of the cultivators emitted a special aura.

Of course, when they landed, they attracted many glances. What was worth that sword they were riding on? A real eye-catcher.

Although many wanted to rob them… the robes they were wearing gave an understanding that it would not be so easy, so many abandoned such dubious thoughts.

Xie Qing looked around and saw several disciples from his sect in the distance. They were unfamiliar to him, so he didn’t even think about greeting them. And it was clear that these disciples didn’t rush forward either.

There was silence between them. No one wanted to waste energy on unnecessary conversations, so there was a terrible silence.

Xie Qing decided to use this to secretly analyze his opponents, and each time, he realized that it would not be so easy.

The strongest was a wandering cultivator who was at the peak of Core Formation, and the weakest was someone at the peak of Qi Condensation, half-forming a core, equal in strength to an ordinary cultivator at the first stage.

Each of these cultivators, even his brothers from the sect, could become potential opponents, and most likely, Xie Qing’s hands would be covered in a thick layer of blood by the time he returned to the sect.

However, this was necessary for his future. Xie Qing narrowed his eyes.

There were only two hours left. In this short time, even more cultivators came, and of course…

BOOM!

You also had to fight for the entrance!

Various attacks flew through the place where it was calm just a second ago. Xie Qing nimbly dodged the attack aimed at his neck and drew his sword, beheading a wandering cultivator who was in the third stage of Core Formation.

Xie Qing’s eyes lit up with ruthlessness when he saw three more guys running at him, already from some unfamiliar sects to him.

“You won’t be able to sit in one place, boys. Then don’t blame this uncle for teaching you humility,” Xie Qing said with a smile and took a stance, snorting.

This snort served as a signal for Xie Qing to begin his attack, and the trio tried to block the impending attack in a panic, but they were left only to accept the fact that they would soon die.

Squeak!

Xie Qing successfully pierced the chest of one of the disciples who couldn’t escape, and the other two, who used their comrades as a meat shield, were already trembling with fear on the ground.

“S-senior brother, don’t kill us, please!” the disciple begged, and then in a panic, he began to take out his spatial ring, extending it to Xie Qing with both hands: “P-please, here’s all my wealth, just don’t touch me!”

“Hm?”

Shuuu!

“Hiaaaaaa!!!”

Xie Qing brightly smiled, stopping his blade, which was now just a centimeter from the disciple’s neck, which was extending his spatial ring to him.

“All right. You convinced me,” Xie Qing exclaimed with a smile and reached for the ring.

“Excellent!” the disciple, whose name was Ju Min, rejoiced, and then politely smiled, but in his thoughts, he cursed Xie Qing: “Bastard! You won’t get away with it, I promise you!”

At the same time, Ju Min winked at his comrade,

“De Xian, do it!”

who got up from his place and made a sharp lunge with his sword, but…

“I knew you’d do something. So be it, I’ll send you to your friends earlier than planned,” Xie Qing’s cold voice rang out.

“Eh?”

The last thing De Xian could see in his life was the cold glow of his head in the reflection of Xie Qing’s blade.

Slap!

The disciple’s head rolled on the ground, and blood began to gush from his neck. Ju Min shivered all over, and when he met Xie Qing’s gaze, he froze and lost consciousness.

And in the next second, he was killed.

***

“250,000 Huang from both of them and two useless spiritual items that you wouldn’t even give to children as a toy… sigh, pitiful trash,” Xie Qing thought, curling his lips.

For him, such an amount was too insignificant, because, with each time, his need for money grew. Even the most basic pills cost 500,000 Huang.

Moreover, Xie Qing actively used the advantage of the System Store, so… for him, such an amount was insignificant.

“Although I unnecessarily dirtied my blade, at least I got rid of annoying bugs that think they have a chance against me… how funny,” Xie Qing thought, looking around.

Anyone who met his gaze either turned away or pretended to be dead. Everyone had already recognized his power and did not want to get under his feet.

As a result, there were only about two hundred and fifty people left, and no more than fifty remained. There were ten wandering cultivators left, the rest were from sects.

Huang Jing with his group, of course, survived and even killed many annoying worms who wanted to attack them.

“Brother Xu, you’re amazing. Your talents make me feel insignificant in front of you, but even more, I feel admiration,” Huang Jing said with a smile, completely sincerely. He patted Xie Qing on the shoulder, although for this, he had to rise slightly on his tiptoes: “You’re a cool guy. I’ll soon have a War of Heirs, can you help me with this question?”

“Oh?”

Xie Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise and then smiled.

“Regarding this… I also have a certain proposal. Let’s discuss it after we finish today’s main dish. What do you say?” Xie Qing smiled.

“Yes, of course!” Huang Jing excitedly replied, nodding.

He was only too happy to help Xie Qing, as with him, he could get a good and reliable partner!

Although Huang Jing had no shortage of cultivators of the same level as his subordinates and friends, he could say that compared to them, Xie Qing was too powerful! Their strengths were incomparable!

“I’m so lucky!”

And Xie Qing, waiting for the Ancestral Cave to open, smirked wickedly.

“If I bring Huang Jing to the threshold of my family and say that he agreed to support me… won’t my status soar to the Heavens? Moreover… I need to pour a little salt on the main elder’s wounds,” the young man thought and smirked wickedly.

***

The Ancestral Cave opened, and each of those present ran inside, including Xie Qing. He had not yet crossed the threshold when a terrible Qi at the peak of Core Formation rushed into his back.

“Damn it… can’t do without problems?” the young man thought.

Shuuu!

His legs made a small crunch as he used all his strength and focused on his legs to nimbly dodge the attack, successfully avoiding it.

He turned and narrowed his eyes, looking at the wandering cultivator who clicked his tongue, seeing that he couldn’t kill Xie Qing.

“You,” said Xie Qing in an annoyed voice, pointing a finger at him and then making a ‘you’re dead’ gesture: “I’ll fucking kill you, I’ll fucking disembowel you. Don’t let me see you, son of a fucking bitch.”

“…”

Everyone fell silent. Although they agreed that it was too low to do so, but… Xie Qing’s words were too dirty.

Some of the wandering cultivators raised their big thumbs.

“Brother, your tongue is sharper than our swords! You are worthy of respect!”
