Chapter 646: The Dao of Yin Yang

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

“You may call me…” Qin Yun paused for a moment before finishing his sentence, “Daoist Feng!”

“Daoist Feng?”

Qing Shuang had never heard of Daoist Feng before, but the Huifeng Great World was massive. It was not surprising to have never heard of such an expert. She said, “Dao Brother Feng, you just killed a Black Wind Fiend Sect disciple. They will definitely investigate. It’s best we leave quickly. If you don’t mind, you can have a seat at one of my villas and have a drink?”

As he looked at the fox immortal, Qin Yun had some thoughts. He agreed with a nod.

“Dao Brother, please follow me.” The white-dressed woman beamed in delight. After all, Daoist Feng had saved her life. She naturally knew to show her gratitude.

Immediately, the both of them flew off.

The fox immortal had fled to this region because she had a villa nearby.

After all, she had cultivated to the Skyimmortal realm. Having a few villas was very normal.

…

In an exquisite courtyard, there were a few tall bamboo planted.

Qin Yun and Qing Shuang sat opposite each other, with a table filled with sumptuous dishes and alcohol in between them.

“There is no way for me to thank you for saving me, Dao Brother Feng. All I can do is first host you with this table of food and alcohol,” said Qing Shuang with a smile.

“Nice culinary skills.” As Qin Yun drank the wine and ate the food, he said with a smile, “I only saved you in passing. There’s no need to take it to heart. To be honest, you should be commended for your courage in attempting to assassinate the Wei Nation’s sovereign. However, it was quite a silly act.”

“Silly?” Qing Shuang was taken aback as she nodded. “Yes, the Wei Nation’s sovereign is very careful. I thought my aura concealment was brilliant enough, but an expert by the sovereign’s side had long seen through me. My actions were indeed laughable and pointless. I eventually managed to barely flee thanks to my talent and at the cost of some damage to my core foundations.”

A nine-tailed fox had a mystic art for fleeing.

However, moments after damaging her core foundation to escape the palace, she encountered the black-robed Daoist. Unable to use the fleeing mystic art twice in a short period of time, she despaired.

Thankfully, she had met Qin Yun.

“That’s not what I’m saying,” said Qin Yun.”What I mean is that killing the Wei Nation’s sovereign would be useless.”

“Oh?” Qing Shuang was taken aback.

“The Wei Nation’s sovereign was able to inherit the throne because he cultivated to the Skyimmortal realm. Would he be dumb?” asked Qin Yun. “Such tyranny and unbridled actions should cover him in grave sins. Why would a Skyimmortal like him not be afraid of the sins? Can’t you tell?”

Qing Shuang said, “I know that he serves the Black Wind Fiend Sect and has cultivated in the fiendish ways. He’s probably not a Skyimmortal but a Skyfiend!”

It was still fresh on her mind how the Wei Nation’s sovereign had released his tumultuous fiendish Dharmic powers.

“Yes, he is a Skyfiend. As for the present Wei Nation… it has long been fully infiltrated by the Black Wind Fiend Sect and has become one of its territories,” said Qin Yun. “Regardless of who becomes the new sovereign, they will continue serving the Black Wind Fiend Sect. As long as the entire Wei Nation remains a dominion ruled by the fiends, the people will remain in destitution.

“The true owner of the Wei Nation is the Black Wind Fiend Sect, and not the sovereign,” said Qin Yun. “To truly change the Wei Nation, one has to free it from the Black Wind Fiend Sect’s rule. So tell me, is assassinating a sovereign useful?”

“The Black Wind Fiend Sect is in full control of the Wei Nation?” Qing Shuang was taken aback. “The Wei Nation was not like this in the past. Just one sovereign submitted to the Black Wind Fiend Sect and the entire Wei Nation is under its control?”

“You will know in the future.”

Qin Yun laughed and did not elaborate.

With his strength, just one look at the Wei Nation was enough to give him a full understanding of it. He could even tell many of an ordinary mighty figure’s secrets if they stood in front of him.

“What was the sword art you used against the enemy just now?” inquired Qin Yun.

“It’s an Yin Yang sword art,” said Qing Shuang with a smile. “I obtained this sword art by mere chance. However, I’m just too inferior to you.”

“Can you carefully demonstrate this sword art for me to see?” requested Qin Yun.

“Sure.”

Qing Shuang thought nothing of it. She immediately waved her hand as two divine swords flew out.

They flew in the courtyard in midair, with Yin Yang interweaving, turning completely unfathomable.

As Qin Yun watched carefully, he nodded slightly.

He was now a perfected Great Dao existence. Further cultivation involved him figuring out new Great Dao to fuse into his Sword Dao. This would constantly accumulate until he reached the Heavenly Dao realm one day. As the Qingping Sword contained a complete Great Dao—the Yin Yang Great Dao—Qin Yun was currently focused on cultivating the Yin Yang Great Dao. Although he had not cultivated it for long, his realm was already more brilliant than the fox immortal’s.

Upon seeing Qing Shuang demonstrate her Yin Yang Dao’s sword art, he could not help but feel the itch to demonstrate.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!” The two divine sword landed in Qing Shuang’s sleeves as she said with a smile, “It was only some mediocre techniques. Please excuse my embarrassment.”

“Your sword art is a sword art from the Yin Yang Dao. I also cultivate in Yin Yang Dao sword arts,” said Qin Yun with a smile. “That sword moves you demonstrated simply need minor changes to drastically increase their strength.”

With that said, he waved his hand.

Two Sword Qi flew out.

The Sword Qi interwove in flight and demonstrated the same sword art that the fox immortal had demonstrated. However, it was clearly more brilliant. Only slight modifications were made to its foundations. There was no need for greater insight into the Great Dao; yet, its strength had increased considerably.

“This sword art.” Qing Shuang’s eyes lit up.

“Oh?” Qin Yun sensed something as he looked outside.

He saw a figure flying from afar towards the courtyard he was in.

Qing Shuang also quickly sensed it. She looked up and smiled. “Uncle Lang’er.”

The figure descended and it was a handsome man in a silver robe.

“Hmph, our entire fox clan has to leave Fox Immortal Island because of your assassination attempt. You were tasked with the important responsibility of assassination, but now that you have failed, you are here, hooking up with a human Daoist and sending flirting signals.” The silver-robed man was enraged.

“Uncle Lang’er, I was pursued by a Black Wind Fiend Sect Daoist after my failed assassination. It was this Dao Brother Feng who saved my life,” said Qing Shuang immediately.

“Enough, let’s not talk about this.” The man’s expression was cold. “You brought with you a treasured Dao talisman for the assassination but failed. You have turned our sacrifice into a joke! And now, we are facing the pursuit of the Wei Nation’s sovereign! You have truly disappointed the entire clan.”

Qing Shuang fell silent.

She knew that the clan had made many preparations.

“The treasure the clan gave me to conceal my aura and obfuscate the heavenly secrets was completely useless. The first day I met the sovereign, an expert beside him had seen through me,” continued Qing Shuang.

“That was a treasure the clan head personally exchanged for. You have a nine-tailed fox bloodline and are innately good at metamorphosis. How can a sovereign have people beside him to see through your disguise?” The silver-robed man scoffed. “Alright, your excuses should be left to the clan head. If the clan head believes you, you can escape punishment; otherwise, you will have to pay Myriad Calamity Grotto a visit.”

“Uncle Lang’er, I didn’t lie.” Qing Shuang was gripped with anxiety, but she did not dare return.

The demons were ruthless to outsiders, but so were they internally.

“Are you feeling guilty conscious? Do you not dare to return? Hmph! Then, I’ll capture you and bring you back.” The man immediately stretched out his arm as three silver chains flew out from his hand in a bid to restrain Qing Shuang.

“Whew! Whew!”

The divine sword behind Qin Yun’s back flew out and split into two.

The two sword flashes were unfathomable and unpredictable. The silver-robed man’s expression changed. “Daoist!” Although he his three silver chains immediately faced off the two sword flashes, it failed to stop it completely. The two sword flashes struck him and he was sent flying out the courtyard. He flew more than a thousand feet as the blood he spewed out filled the sky.

“To capture someone in front of me? Do you think I’m blind?” said Qin Yun coldly.

“Daoist, how dare you interfere in my Fox Immortal Island’s internal matters?” raged the silver-robed man.

“Scram! If not, you will not simply be sent flying next time. Instead, my Yin Yang swords will slash you into three,” said Qin Yun coldly.

The silver-robed man clenched his teeth as he glared at Qing Shuang. “Qing Shuang, are you sure you want to betray the clan and not return with me?”

“Don’t talk about betrayal.” Qin Yun curled his lips. “Didn’t you also have a younger brother that had visited Myriad Calamity Grotto?”

The silver-robed man was astounded.

How did he know!?

“Your Fox Immortal Island has more than three hundred Skyimmortals,” said Qin Yun. “Ever since the current clan head took up the position, thirty-eight Skyimmortals have entered the Myriad Calamity Grotto.”

“They had all committed wrongs and were being punished,” said the silver-robed man. Following that, he said angrily, “Who exactly are you? How are you aware of the punished Skyimmortals of my Fox Immortal Island over the past tens of thousands of years?”

“It’s only a mere Fox Immortal Island. It’s nothing in the Huifeng Great World.” Qin Yun scoffed. “However, I happened to discover a secret of your Fox Immortal Island. Among the thirty-eight Skyimmortals that entered the Myriad Calamity Grotto, two of them died. Thirty-six of them remain alive, but to be honest, they are almost no different from being dead since their Essence Souls are being controlled. Your fox clan’s clan head sure is talented. He actually succeeded in cultivating in the Mental Demon lineage’s Dharmic formulation.”

“Mental Demon Skyfiend? Are you saying that the clan head is a Mental Demon Skyfiend?” The silver-robed man was astonished. “The thirty-six Skyimmortals are being controlled?”

“The Huifeng Great World is filled with fiendish cultivators which I usually can’t be bothered to deal with. I’m doing this on account of how pitiful your entire clan is to not realize that you are under the machinations of the clan head.” Qin Yun scoffed. “If you don’t believe me, let your clan elders grab any of the thirty-six Skyimmortals and probe their Essence Souls to learn the truth.”

“Dao Brother Feng, are you speaking the truth?” Qing Shuang’s body turned morbidly cold when she heard that. If she were to return to end up being punished to enter Myriad Calamity Grotto, would she be controlled as well?

“Don’t you make such alarmist statements!” The silver-robed man refused to believe it.

“Report it to the clan elders and your clan elders will immediately know upon investigation,” said Qin Yun.

“No, it’s impossible. Brother…” The silver-robed man’s expression was nasty as he carefully recalled. He discovered that the thirty-six Skyimmortals, including his younger brother, aligned themselves with the clan head after their exit from Myriad Calamity Grotto. It strengthened the clan head’s authority internally, making him far greater than the three clan elders. “There has indeed been changes in how my brother does things. But one can change, but to have thirty-six change together in loyal defiance to the clan head is indeed weird. Logically speaking, they should be resentful towards the clan head after their suffering. Could it be… No, impossible!”

Although he was flustered, the silver-robed man continued glaring at Qin Yun angrily. He roared, “If I discover that you were lying, my Fox Immortal Island will absolutely not let this matter rest.”

With that said, he left as a beam of light.

Such a major matter needed immediate investigation. This was something that could shake Fox Immortal Island at its core.

Qin Yun sat down and continued drinking the alcohol. As for Qing Shuang, she stood there, her expressions changing repeatedly. What Qin Yun had said had left her shaken.

“Dao Brother Feng.” Qing Shuang looked at Qin Yun and asked seriously, “Why are you helping me?”
