Chapter 118

Princess Martial Maple began feeling fear creep into her heart . She wanted to speak but the grip around her neck prevented her from doing so . She instinctively wanted to struggle but Qin Yun injected a wisp of Quintessential Essence into her body, sealing her of her Dharmic powers .

“Stop!”

“Qin Yun, put down the princess . “

“Everything can be discussed . ” The white-haired elder and the guardians stood up one after another as they shouted anxiously .

“Young Master Qin, please let Princess Martial Maple off . ” Yi Caishi panicked as well . Noticing how Qin Yun did not react, he said immediately, “I’m Yi Xiao’s father . “

Qin Yun took a glance at him before turning to look back at Yi Xiao .

Yi Xiao only stared at Yi Caishi without saying a word .

“You are Yi Xiao’s father?” Qin Yun continued grabbing Princess Martial Maple’s neck as he looked at Yi Caishi .

Yi Caishi looked rather handsome and had a scholarly bearing . He immediately said, “Young Master Qin, let Third Madam off . She wouldn’t dare take action again . “

“Were you watching your daughter being sliced in the face without doing a thing?” Qin Yun’s voice was filled with anger .

“I spoke out . I pleaded with her,” said Yi Caishi instantly .

“You said a few words in passing?” Qin Yun lost his temper .

“I can’t stop her . She doesn’t listen to me,” Yi Caishi said in a panic .

“And now, you can’t stop me . ” Qin Yun coldly looked into Yi Caishi’s eyes .

“Young Master Qin, please show mercy . Please . ” Yi Caishi said anxiously, “I owed her in the past . I owe Xiao’er too . It’s all my fault . “

Qin Yun shook his head .

What a loser .

“You are wrong . What does this have to do with me? She injured Yi Xiao so you have no right to plead on her behalf . ” Qin Yun sneered as he looked at Princess Martial Maple . Her face was flushed red from the right grip around her neck . Without being able to say a word, her eyes were filled with plea .

“You now know fear? Won’t you very ruthless while dealing with Yi Xiao?” Qin Yun threw her to the side .

Bam!

Princess Martial Maple flew out and fell in front of Yi Xiao . The fall left her head bloody as she looked up at Yi Xiao .

“Yi Xiao, requite like for like,” said Qin Yun .

“Miss Yi Xiao,” shouted the white-haired elder and the other five .

“Xiao’er, it’s my fault,” Yi Caishi said immediately .

Princess Martial Maple crawled up but her eyes were still staring at Yi Xiao with resentment .

Yi Xiao suddenly struck out .

“Pa!” Princess Martial Maple was slapped in the face as she flew backward . Yi Xiao released her Quintessential Essence and grabbed her back in front of her .

“Pa! Pa! Pa!”

Yi Xiao’s Quintessential Essence held Princess Martial Maple as she slapped her in the face with her right hand . Instantly, Yi Xiao’s palms manifested themselves as shadows as the successive slaps struck Princess Martial Maple . It left her face covered in blood .

“You had slashed at my face twelve times and I returned you with twelve slaps,” said Yi Xiao .

“You slapped me thirty times,” said Princess Martial Maple in a hoarse voice as she struggled to speak .

“The remaining eighteen slaps were for my mother . You kept using the word slut! You have no right to say that of my mother . ” Yi Xiao withdrew her Quintessential Essence and said coldly, “Leave and don’t you appear in front of me ever again . I will still beat you if you appear . “

Princess Martial Maple clenched her teeth .

Being slapped thirty times by the slut’s daughter was a huge ridicule .

“You wait and see . Wait and see . ” Princess Martial Maple thought to herself as she turned to leave .

The white-haired elder, guardians, and Yi Caishi heaved a sigh of relief . The outcome was better than they expected .

“Hold it . “

Qin Yun commanded coldly from the side .

Princess Martial Maple, who had walked a few steps, came to a quivering halt . She looked at Qin Yun and said, “She… she has let me go . “

However, Qin Yun queried with a voice transmission . “Yi Xiao, she had slashed your face with a knife . If I had not come in time, her next acts would be even more ruthless . Are you just giving a few slaps? Letting her off just like that?”

“Forget it, Qin Yun . She is a princess after all . Let’s put this matter to rest . “

“It has already come this far . She will definitely bear a grudge,” replied Qin Yun with a voice transmission .

“I can’t implicate you . ” Yi Xiao said with a voice transmission as she looked at him .

Qin Yun’s heart warmed as he smiled .

He understood Yi Xiao’s considerations .

“How silly . Alright, leave it to me . ” Qin Yun beckoned with his hand as the knife that Princess Martial Maple had been thrown on the ground flew into his hand .

“Qin Yun, don’t you be foolish . She didn’t have any intent to kill . Punishing her would do . ” Yi Xiao said hurriedly with a voice transmission .

“Qin Yun!”

“Stop!” exclaimed the white-haired elder, Yi Caishi and the rest .

As for Reverend Immense Sea, he frowned slightly when he saw the situation play out . He said with a voice transmission, “Fellow Daoist Qin, the Zhongli’s family patriarch is a human immortal, one of the supporting pillars of humanity . You should show some mercy . “

“I respect Zhongli’s family patriarch as well . ” Qin Yun said with a voice transmission . “Him having merit doesn’t mean his daughter can do anything as she pleases . Don’t worry . I won’t kill her . “

Immense Sea heaved a sigh of relief .

Qin Yun walked over with the bloodstained knife in hand . Princess Martial Maple’s face turned pale . “What are you doing? I… I only slashed with the knife . I didn’t pour any poison powder . The wounds would recover very quickly . That Yi Xiao has hit me too . Why are you still…”

“Poison powder?” Qin Yun’s expression changed . “You were even planning to use poison powder?”

Princess Martial Maple became even more panic-stricken .

The white-haired elder and company beside were seized with anxiety . Princess, why did you mention the poison powder?

“Where’s the poison powder?” Qin Yun bellowed coldly .

“No, I don’t have it . ” Princess Martial Maple said immediately .

“By pouring poison powder on the wounds, even cultivators will not be able to rid it once the toxins permeate the wounds . They will be scarred for life . ” Qin Yun was very aware of the tactics that were employed by scoundrels . He turned and swept his glance across the white-haired elders and the others . “Speak, where’s the poison powder . “

The six shook their heads .

“Are you trying to deceive me?” Qin Yun said curtly . “The six of you are accomplices regarding this matter . I’m only taking action against Princess Martial Maple now and haven’t gotten to the six of you . “

“Deal with us?”

“We were only obeying orders . “

“We…” The six panicked .

Qin Yun swept the six with a glance . “How I deal with you will depend on your honesty . Hand over the poison powder obediently and I will be lenient . If not, I will not kill you, but cripple the dantians of you six . What do you think of that?”

The six were horrified .

Crippling their dantians?

Ending of their cultivation path? It was worse than death .

“Where’s the poison powder? Hand it over . If you don’t, there will not be any chances . This is my last warning . ” Qin Yun said indifferently .

“It’s with me . ” The white-haired elder took out a red bottle from the Cosmic Bag by his waist . He looked at Princess Martial Maple apologetically . “Junior Sister Martial Maple, we have no other choice either . “

Qin Yun took the red bottle and turned to walk towards Princess Martial Maple .

“There’s no way you would…” Princess Martial Maple was about to retreat when formless Heaven and Earth powers left her immobile .

“Paying one back in her own coin!” Qin Yun said, “When you do what you do unto others, why didn’t you think of the suffering they have to endure? Have a taste of that suffering . “

“Chi! Chi! Chi!”

The knife slashed over . Yi Caishi was panicking by the side but it was useless . Qin Yun ignored him completely .

“Twelve slashes . ” Qin Yun stopped and pulled the red bottle’s stopper and scattered it suddenly .

Phew .

The poison powder hit Princess Martial Maple’s face as she immediately held her face in pain .

“Can I leave now?” Although Princess Martial Maple was in pain, she continued clenching her teeth and speaking hoarsely .

“No rush . ” Qin Yun looked at the six and said, “Since you have handed over the poison powder, I’ll not cripple you of your dantians . Hand over all your Dharma treasures and other valuable items . Consider it as a tiny punishment . “

“All valuable items?”

“The Dharma treasures we obtained from decades of cultivation…” The white-haired elder and company panicked .

The purple flying sword hovering in midair approached them .

“We’ll do it! We’ll hand them over . ” The six immediately responded .

“And you . ” Qin Yun pointed at Princess Martial Maple . “Hand over all your Dharma treasures and valuable items . “

…

Soon .

A huge number of treasures piled in front of Qin Yun as they emanated waves .

Qin Yun looked at the seven . At that moment, Princess Martial Maple covered her face with a veil . She looked at Qin Yun with a cold glare . “Can we leave now?”

“The clothes on you is also a Dharma treasure . Hand it over . ” Qin Yun said indifferently .

“You—” Princess Martial Maple’s eyes were filled with harshness . But against Qin Yun, who was looking at her calmly, her Dharma treasure robe flew out and landed on the pile of Dharma treasures in front of Qin Yun . At that moment, all Princess Martial Maple was left with were white body-hugging clothes .

“You can leave . ” Qin Yun waved his hand .

“Let’s go . ” The white-haired elder immediately cast his flying art and brought everyone, including Yi Caishi away . Yi Caishi gave Yi Xiao a conflicted look . He then came close to Princess Martial Maple and looked at her with a pained heart .

Phew .

Princess Martial Maple and company left quickly on a cloud .

After flying out of Grand Dominance City, the silent Princess Martial Maple turned and looked down at the blurring city . She said hoarsely, “I’ll definitely have my revenge . “

“Third Madam . ” Yi Caishi looked at Princess Martial Maple with a pained heart .

“That daughter of yours has only seduced an Azure-token Inspector Heavenly Ambassador . If he were a Purple-token Inspector Heavenly Ambassador, I would not be able to do a thing . But an Azure-token Inspector Heavenly Ambassador?” Princess Martial Maple sneered . “She and that Qin Yun will not remain complacent for long . “

Then, Princess Martial Maple looked meekly at Yi Caishi . “Caishi, don’t worry . She’s your daughter after all . I won’t kill her . “

******

Qin Yun kept the treasures .

“Young Master Qin, you have truly offended that princess . ” County Governor Song could not help but comment .

“You even took all their Dharma treasures . ” Immense Sea said with a smile as well .

“Since I’m offending her, I might as well offend her fully . ” Qin Yun said with a smile . “Besides, Reverend Immense Sea, you know that I haven’t cultivated for long either . I’m very poor . Alright, I won’t be entertaining the both of you . We’ll be leaving first . “

Qin Yun held Yi Xiao’s hand . Yi Xiao allowed him to hold it as they left on a cloud .

While flying in midair, Yi Xiao looked at Qin Yun who was holding her hand . She felt her heart warm but she was worried as well . She felt remorse . “Qin Yun, you have truly offended Princess Martial Maple . She will definitely think of a way to seek revenge . “

“Don’t worry . It will be fine . ” Qin Yun said with a smile . “Let me tell you a secret . “

Yi Xiao was taken aback .

“In the battle just now, everything was within my grasps . Besides, I only used twenty percent of my strength,” said Qin Yun .

“Twenty percent?” Yi Xiao was astounded . “You defeated the group of guardians and repressed Reverend Immense Sea…”

Qin Yun smiled . “Since I know Princess Martial Maple will seek revenge, how can I display all my strength?”

Yi Xiao was surprised and delighted, as well as astounded .

The strength that he demonstrated was a little stronger than when he defeated Black Demon King . Yet, it was only twenty percent of Qin Yun’s strength?

Could he already match someone at the Connate Golden Core realm already?

“I’m only telling this to you . No one else knows . ” Qin Yun chuckled in a hushed tone . “Remember, keep it a secret . “

Yi Xiao nodded and immediately felt relieved .
