Chapter 282 Defending against the Little Three Blades

Regardless of whether Qin Chao was a practitioner of demonic arts or not, the fact remained that he had saved the lives of so many members of prestigious families today. Furthermore, he had remained undefeated even under the attacks of so many experts from these families. His fame was likely to spread throughout the world of cultivation.

Especially since he had the wit and strength to crack the Shen Qing Heaven Cutting Sword, which was something that everyone admired.

"Hua Mountain thanks you, and owes Qin Zhenren a favor. We will repay it in the future!" Since the Zombie King had already fled, there was no need to stay. Jiang Yifan bowed to Qin Chao, then took his junior brother and left with a leap.

"E'mei also thanks Qin Zhenren for saving us!" Qing Xiu was not a person who couldn't distinguish right from wrong, and she also said to Qin Chao, "We will repay this favor in the future. However, since you are in the demonic path, we will be enemies the next time we meet. You are not a bad person, I hope Qin Zhenren can return to the right path soon."

After Qing Xiu finished speaking, she left with her two disciples.

Yuan Meng, holding the treasure sword for her master, took a deep look at Qin Chao before flying away on a colorful cloud.

"The next time we meet, I will beat you up badly." Mo Yangzi still had that arrogant look on his face. Although he had exhausted his strength in the previous battle, he still had a calm and composed appearance.

Mo Yangzi would never give up his pride no matter what.

"Brother Qin, I am Chu Feng. I welcome you to visit our Wudang Mountain in the future!" The young Taoist Chu Feng looked at Qin Chao with an admiring glint in his eyes.

But his master, the Taoist Jiu, suddenly disappeared somewhere. After the Zombie King ran away, his figure was nowhere to be seen.

"Qin Chao, if you want to return to the right path, the gates of Misty Peak will always be open to you." There was already a hint of persuasion in Hua Niang's words.

But Qin Chao heard another layer of meaning in her words. Did Hua Niang have the final say in the affairs of Misty Peak? What was her identity in Misty Peak now?

He had heard from Su Ji before that Misty Peak was the most extraordinary of the eight major sects.

In the midst of the Misty Peak, as long as one wholeheartedly pursues the path of immortality and goodness, they are willing to accommodate anyone, including fairies and practitioners of demonic ways.

It is said that one of the great elders of Misty Peak was once the infamous killer king of the demonic ways. However, the killer king later gained enlightenment in the Dao and saw through the mysteries of the universe. He stopped killing and devoted himself to cultivation, eventually joining the Misty Peak.

"I don't think I'll go for now. Thank you for your kindness, Hua Niang," Qin Chao said apologetically, bowing with his fists. "I am different from you. Worldly matters still burden me. Therefore, staying in Sunan City is my best choice."

"Very well, let's part ways here and meet again someday," Hua Niang said without being overly sentimental, leaving with Bai Jiao Jiao.

"Qin Chao, you pretended to drive away the zombie king and want Shu Mountain to owe you a favor? You have some nerve!" Shen Yu shouted at Qin Chao, holding her Moonlit Sword. "Next time I see you, I'll kill you!"

"You monster! Don't think you're strong just because you beat my Master Shen," Xu Renfeng sneered. "My Master only lost to your trickery. In terms of strength, she could kill you with one hand. Don't worry, the next time we meet, I'll personally kill you!"

"Feng Er, Yu Er, come with me," Shen Qing said coldly, glancing at Qin Chao before ordering her two disciples to help her fly away on her sword. She could not use her techniques temporarily and had to rely on others to fly.

One could say that the invincible Ice-Clear Fairy suffered a major defeat today at the hands of Qin Chao.

The other small sects also scattered like birds and beasts. Soon, there were only two people from Songshan and Qin Chao left on the playground, as well as the just awakened Hu Ke.

"Sir, I saw everything you did today," Fa Xiang folded his hands together and said to Qin Chao. "Therefore, I do not hesitate to deplete my own true essence to help you break through to divine power. I hope that you can continue to maintain this pure heart. Although you are in the demonic ways, you can still wholeheartedly pursue Buddhism."

Qin Chao practiced both Buddhism and demonic ways. As long as he was willing to pay respect to Buddhism, Fa Xiang did not think it was a bad thing.

"Monk, you always like to meddle in other people's business," Qin Chao sneered. "Even if you don't help me, I can still break through to divine power. Besides, just now, you weren't just helping me, you were saving everyone."

"You speak the truth, sir," the monk closed his eyes and chanted the Buddhist mantra, "Amitabha Buddha... As for the lady over there, I can tell that you don't possess any evil aura. But, after all, you are a creature of evil. I hope you can convert to Buddhism, and I am willing to guide you to cleanse yourself of impurities with the power of Buddha."

"If that's the case, I'm afraid my lifespan will be greatly reduced," Hu Ke laughed. "After being cleansed, I will be just like an ordinary person, experiencing life and death."

"The body is just a stinky bag. Only by giving up this bag can you achieve enlightenment," the monk advised.

"Thanks, but I still have many things I can't let go of. I don't want to die just yet," Hu Ke shook her head. "Thank you for your kindness, master."

"Since that is the case, I won't insist," the monk replied. "The Zombie King has been forced to retreat. I will follow his trail. I hope that next time the Zombie King appears, you can still come to help."

Qin Chao held the Red Emperor Evil King Sword in his hand, which was the nemesis of evil creatures. Naturally, it would require his strength to slay powerful creatures like the Zombie King.
