Chapter 8: Wei Ziqing’s Killing Intent

“What? Granny is dead? Yang Guo was taken to the Ancient Tomb?”

The Quanzhen Sect had become chaotic over the past two days. When Wei Ziqing learned from a Quanzhen disciple that Yang Guo had entered the Ancient Tomb, he was momentarily shocked.

However, he soon felt relieved.

According to the plot of the original story, things had indeed reached this point.

Wei Ziqing should not have cared about such small matters, but for some reason, hearing that Yang Guo entered the Ancient Tomb made his heart feel a bit sour.

It felt as if something had been lost.

“Yang Guo entered the Ancient Tomb. In the Divine Condor World, all the grievances and entanglements are starting to unfold, and he and Little Dragon Maiden…”

After being lost in thought for a while, Wei Ziqing went back to his own business, as if he had forgotten all of this.

However, although he went to the back mountain every night, he did not go tonight.

What he did not know was that in the back mountain, Little Dragon Maiden was standing there, looking somewhat distracted.

“Madam, what are you thinking about? Why do you seem so restless?” Little Yang Guo looked at Little Dragon Maiden with a confused face.

Since coming to the Ancient Tomb, Yang Guo felt extremely free. No one restricted him, and Madam treated him well; it was hundreds or even thousands of times better than the Quanzhen Sect.

But tonight, he felt that Madam was acting strange, as if she were waiting for someone!

But this was the Forbidden Grounds of the Quanzhen Sect; besides the people of the Ancient Tomb Sect, who else could come here?

“Nothing. Let’s go back. From today on, do not come to this place!” Little Dragon Maiden’s face remained cold, but she did not want to stay in this place any longer.

“Huh? Why? Madam, didn’t you say you would take me out to learn the Kung Fu of our Ancient Tomb Sect? Why are we going back?” Yang Guo looked dissatisfied. What was Madam doing!

“Learning anywhere is the same. It is the same in the Ancient Tomb as it is here!” The cold words came from Little Dragon Maiden’s mouth. She did not allow Little Yang Guo to say anything more and led him away from the back mountain.

…

“Damn Yang Guo, he actually escaped!” Lu Qingdu was very unhappy. That damn Yang Guo had actually run to the Ancient Tomb.

One must know that Lu Qingdu had suffered a lot because of that boy Yang Guo. Now that he suddenly could not take revenge, how could he not be upset!

“No, I must take this revenge!” Suddenly, a cold smile appeared on Lu Qingdu’s face. He could not take revenge on Yang Guo, but he could find someone else to vent on!

Wei Ziqing did not know why he had not gone to the back mountain for several days, but today, he finally went.

What he did not know was that when he left, someone was following him sneakily from behind.

“Where is this Wei Ziqing going?” Lu Qingdu followed Wei Ziqing behind him with some confusion, but no matter where he went, it was fine; he could take the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Arriving at the familiar place and looking at the empty area, Wei Ziqing felt a bit disappointed.

“Did she not come?” With a soft sigh, he took out the longsword he had obtained from the nearby bushes and began practicing the Quanzhen Sword Art under the moonlight.

Perhaps because of his low mood, Wei Ziqing’s swordplay today seemed somewhat sharp and aggressive, not at all like the moderate and peaceful style that the Quanzhen Sword Art pursued.

Wei Ziqing did not notice that his Innate Skill, which had been stuck at the Peak of the second layer, suddenly became turbulent and began to operate on its own. The bottleneck that had kept him at the Peak of a Second-Rate Expert was now gradually collapsing!

Lu Qingdu was stunned!

He did not expect that not only had Wei Ziqing run to the Forbidden Grounds, but more importantly, he had discovered something incredible!

This Wei Ziqing was secretly learning martial arts!

Although he did not know what sword art Wei Ziqing was practicing, he was at least a Third-Rate Expert who was about to reach the level of a second-class or second-rate expert. How could he not see that this sword art was far more profound than the one he had learned!

However, soon, Lu Qingdu’s face was filled with greed and a cold smile: “Good. This damn Wei Ziqing is just a Menial Disciple, yet he dares to secretly learn martial arts. I want to see what he can say today!”

Thinking of this, Lu Qingdu stopped hiding and jumped out, looking at Wei Ziqing with a cold smile: “Very good, Wei Ziqing. You actually stole the profound sword art of our Quanzhen. What should your punishment be!”

Wei Ziqing had been practicing his sword, but when he discovered that he was about to break through to the realm of a First-Rate Expert, he immediately concentrated his mind and focused on circulating his Inner Energy, wanting to use this opportunity to break through in one go.

Just as he was about to break through, a sudden loud shout came. His heart jumped, and the Inner Energy that had been circulating suddenly became turbulent. His chest felt hot, and in an instant, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Lu Qingdu!” When he saw who it was, Wei Ziqing’s face became filled with anger.

Just a little bit, just a tiny bit more!

It was interrupted by this Lu Qingdu. Not only that, but the sudden turbulence of Inner Energy had caused him a significant internal injury. How could he not be angry!

“That’s right, it is me. Wei Ziqing, you are just a small Menial Disciple. You not only trespassed into the Forbidden Grounds but also stole the profound sword art of our Quanzhen. Surrender now, hand over the sword art, and follow me back to receive your punishment!”

Lu Qingdu’s face was full of cold smiles and greed. He had originally wanted to teach Wei Ziqing a lesson, but he did not expect to find such an opportunity.

That was the profound sword art of the Quanzhen Sect!

If he obtained it, wouldn’t his power advance by leaps and bounds!

As for taking him back for punishment…

A flash of killing intent appeared in Lu Qingdu’s eyes. How could he let anyone find out that he had obtained the profound sword art of Quanzhen!

“Hand over the Quanzhen Sword Art and follow you back for punishment?” Wei Ziqing’s face was pale, but hearing these words, he sneered!

He did not know why Lu Qingdu appeared here, but it was likely related to him. Now that his secret had been discovered, he was expected to hand over the sword art and follow him back for punishment?

Wei Ziqing was not a fool. Would Lu Qingdu really be that simple?

“That’s right. Hand over the sword art, and maybe I will plead for mercy on your behalf. Hurry up!” Lu Qingdu’s eyes showed a greedy, fierce light, and he spoke impatiently.

“First you followed me, then you caused my cultivation to fail and left me seriously injured, and now you want me to hand over the Quanzhen Sword Art. Do you really think I, Wei Ziqing, am a fool?” Wei Ziqing’s heart was full of killing intent, and his face was cold.

Lu Qingdu was slightly stunned; he did not expect that Wei Ziqing actually knew his thoughts. However, he soon sneered: “So you mean you won’t hand it over to me?”

“And what if I don’t?” Setting aside the fact that Lu Qingdu was only a Third-Rate Expert, this man had caused him serious injury and wanted to kill him. How could Wei Ziqing easily give him the secret manual!

“In that case, I’ll just kill you and take it from your body myself!” Lu Qingdu’s eyes flashed with a fierce light. He immediately drew his sword and rushed toward Wei Ziqing, intending to kill him and steal the manual!

“Good! Very good, Lu Qingdu!” Wei Ziqing laughed out of extreme anger. He did not expect Lu Qingdu to be so cruel as to kill him for the sake of a manual!

“Since that’s the case, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Since Lu Qingdu would not let him go, Wei Ziqing would not let him go either. Even though he was injured, he was absolutely not someone a Third-Rate Expert like Yang Guo could overlook!

Immediately, he tilted the longsword in his hand, moved his feet, and instead of retreating, he advanced to meet Lu Qingdu!

Lu Qingdu felt a cold light flash before his eyes. He suddenly froze in place, his face filled with terror.

At his neck, a blood-red wound was continuously widening. The sword slipped from his hand, and he clutched his neck, his face full of disbelief.

“How… how could…” Lu Qingdu did not understand. Wei Ziqing had been in Quanzhen for less than half a year and was currently seriously injured; how could he be so terrifying!

However, no one responded to his confusion, because he slowly lay down, leaving behind Wei Ziqing, who stood with his back to him, one hand clutching his chest and the other holding the sword!
