Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Qin Yaotiao Also Encounters a Fellow Sect Member

"I didn’t expect the people from Qingyun Sect to find us so quickly!"

Lu Chen had been skeptical of Mo Buwen’s words.

But the corpse of a Qingyun Sect disciple impaled on the Heavenly Inquiry Spear was proof enough.

"Brother Lu Dao, you..."

However, Mo Buwen and Yu Qingqing were utterly terrified by Lu Chen’s display of power!

This was a genius disciple of a second-tier sect who could not withstand a single blow from Lu Chen’s spear!

"What’s the matter with you two?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "You two keep cultivating diligently, and you can reach my level of strength in the future."

Mo Buwen and Yu Qingqing exchanged looks. Although they knew Lu Chen was just comforting them, his words were immensely reassuring.

"Hopefully, that day will come," Mo Buwen took a deep breath and said, "Brother Lu Dao, should we find a place to wait for now?"

They had headed towards the center of the explosion to find Lu Chen and see if they could be of any help.

Now that they had found him, there was no need to join the crowd there, and should they encounter someone from Qingyun Sect again, Lu Chen would have an easier time dealing with it in a less crowded place.

"That’s a good idea, there seems to be a small hill over there; let’s head there!"

Lu Chen pointed to a spot in the distance and said, as the area was mostly plains with only some bushes and forests that were not suitable for hiding.

From time to time, people flew over his head from afar. Lu Chen was also worried that using his Spiritual Fire to destroy the bodies and eradicate traces might attract attention, so he just discarded the bodies and then, wielding his long spear, he took the two of them towards the hill.

Little did they know.

A female cultivator from Spirit Sound Sect was coming from that very hill!

They would meet head-on after traveling the few dozen miles very soon.

Meanwhile.

Qin Yaotiao had also noticed the commotion.

She did not know what had happened, and being someone who preferred tranquility, she knew that such a stir would attract many cultivators. She wanted to avoid the crowd and started heading in the opposite direction.

But not long after she left, she encountered Xu Tianyue and her Dao companion!

"Sister Qin, thank goodness we’ve found you, where are you heading?"

Xu Tianyue stood atop her Magic Artifact, perplexed by Qin Yaotiao’s actions.

"Sister Xu," Qin Yaotiao said, "I saw many cultivators heading that way, so I thought it best to stay away from trouble."

"You, my dear," Xu Tianyue seemed somewhat reproachful but spoke with a smile, "A crowd means chaos, but have you considered that the more people there are, the less likely a large-scale fight will break out! This isn’t a dispute between two sects; there are dozens! Our Hehuan Sect has an advantage with our combined attack technique. If we time it right, we may even be able to secure a fateful opportunity!"

That was what she said, but Qin Yaotiao saw right through it.

You all have combined attack techniques, but I’m alone. Even though I understand the method, there’s no one to coordinate with me!

This was the unique aspect of Hehuan Sect’s cultivation technique.

Ordinary Qi Refining disciples only qualify to learn the deeper Dual Cultivation Method after progressing to the Foundation Establishment Stage, which through Dual Cultivation, enhances synergy with their Dao companion.

Of course, this also depends on whether the male disciple has the talent for it.

If not, they are reduced to mere Dual Cultivation tools, constantly harvested by the female disciples within the Hehuan Sect.

Only when someone breaks through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, like Chen Gaoshang, does their status slightly elevate, allowing them to perform tasks on behalf of the Hehuan Sect.

But Qin Yaotiao, having just joined the Hehuan Sect and lacking a Dao companion, couldn’t learn the Dual Cultivation Method and thus could only be a common Foundation Establishment disciple regardless of her talent.

Luckily, her experiences with exploitation and betrayal at Xuanji Sect kept her from fully believing Xu Tianyue’s words.

She was no longer the naive Qin Yaotiao anymore.

"Sister Xu, I’d rather not go, please forgive me!"

Without waiting for Xu Tianyue to try to stop her, Qin Yaotiao’s figure deftly flashed past and flew into the distance!

Xu Tianyue’s expression suddenly turned icy, and she said to her Dao companion, "If we had brought Qin Yaotiao with us, perhaps we could have made connections with a first-rate sect..."

The implications of her words went unsaid!
