Chapter 72: Qin Feilong Slaps Qingyun Tower
Qin Du saw Qin Feilong being restrained by the Qingyun Envoy and immediately pleaded, “My son is ignorant and has offended the Envoy. I hope the Envoy will not be angry and spare my son’s life.”
“Cough… cough…” Qin Feilong felt an abnormal pain in his throat, as if he could suffocate at any moment.
He clutched the Qingyun Envoy’s arm tightly and said with all his might:
“What, did I hit a nerve with the Envoy? Even with the Talisman Saint runes, you can’t draw Talisman Saint Talismans! In the Upper Realm, only the so-called Setting Sun Mountain Range can draw Talisman Saint Talismans!”
With a “thump,” Qin Feilong was violently thrown against the wall by the Qingyun Envoy, making a loud noise.
Blood splattered everywhere, and Qin Feilong felt an intense pain in his internal organs, as if his whole body was about to shatter.
An attack from the Spirit Transformation Stage, even without spiritual power, was enough to nearly kill him.
“Do you really think this Seat dares not kill you! Who says no one can draw Talisman Saint Talismans except Setting Sun Mountain Range! It’s because the people of Setting Sun Mountain Range tampered with the Talisman Saint runes, leaving those seniors helpless! Setting Sun Mountain Range is selfish and unwilling to reveal the Talisman Saint runes to the public, in order to protect their transcendent power!”
“Hahaha…”
Qin Feilong tightly clutched his neck, breathing heavily, and started laughing again:
“You don’t dare to kill me at all! So what if you are at the Spirit Transformation Stage? My Ao Tian Sect still has several old ancestors in seclusion, all of whom are at the Spirit Transformation Stage. You wouldn’t dare to act in front of them! Because you know that the Qingyun Tower has been stable in the Lower Realm for three thousand years, and it won’t allow itself to be questioned by the Upper Realm just because of a mere Spirit Transformation cultivator!”
Qin Feilong stood up, stared at the Qingyun Envoy, and said word by word, “If you have the guts, kill me now! Anyway, for one Golden Core, I’ll exchange your life as a Spirit Transformation cultivator, and it’s well worth it!”
The Envoy felt his dignity as a cultivator from the Upper Cultivation World being violated by a junior, and was furious:
“You are right, I indeed dare not kill you. But I want to see, if I injure you, who in the Lower Cultivation World dares to stop me!”
As long as he didn’t die, the Ao Tian Sect’s anger would have to be suppressed.
Qin Du thought to himself, where did this child get such arrogance? What’s so difficult about admitting a mistake?
The Qingyun Tower comes from the Upper Realm, and the Upper Realm is superior to the Lower Realm. Even though their Ao Tian Sect could rival other sects for dominance in the Lower Realm, they were not even as good as a small sect in the Upper Realm.
Even if this Qingyun Envoy was merely relying on his connections, they truly had no choice.
Qin Feilong, however, acted as if he couldn’t hear the Qingyun Envoy’s threat, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He looked up, his eyes fixed on the Qingyun Envoy’s bulging veins, and said, “Then do you dare to hand over the Talisman Saint runes leaked from Setting Sun Mountain Range to me? If I can draw them, you will personally apologize to my father!”
“Apologize to my father for your arrogance, for your unreasonable behavior, for your bullying! Apologize to the Ao Tian Sect!”
“Heh,” the Envoy sneered, “You, a Sword Cultivator, can probably not even understand the simplest talisman.”
Qin Feilong naturally knew what he meant and simply said, “I was once registered at the Qingyun Tower and am a Mysterious Grade Talisman Master.”
Saying this, he took out his token, which symbolized his rank as a Mysterious Grade Low-Rank Talisman Master.
“Hahaha!” Upon hearing this, the Envoy laughed even harder, “A mere Mysterious Grade Low-Rank Talisman Master dares to speak such bold words. Do you know how many Earth Rank Talisman Masters cannot draw Talisman Saint runes?”
Qin Feilong naturally didn’t know this, but he knew that ever since he started studying the path of talismans, there had been no rune he couldn’t draw.
Although the effects of the talismans might not be exactly the same, the functionality of the talismans could indeed be guaranteed.
He coldly asked, “What, Your Excellency the Envoy, do you not dare?”
“Good, good! This Seat will play with you for a while and let you know the immensity of heaven and earth!”
The Qingyun Envoy cast a contemptuous glance at him and threw a white paper in front of Qin Feilong.
On the white paper, several runes were inscribed.
“As long as you can draw any one talisman within three hours, I will agree. But if you cannot, you will be buried here today. It all depends on whether you dare to gamble with your life!”
“What is there to not dare!”
Qin Feilong picked up the runes without showing any fear, conjured the talisman paper and talisman brush, and was about to showcase his skills.
Seeing that the talisman brush he took out was only a Mysterious Grade Low-Rank Spirit Tool, the Qingyun Envoy sneered even more, “You don’t even have a decent brush, yet you dare to claim you can draw Talisman Saint Talismans.”
Qin Feilong ignored him and focused wholeheartedly on the runes.
These runes were more complex than any he had encountered before; almost every one was difficult to discern its origin, making it hard for him to begin.
Qin Feilong held his brush and slowly drew the first rune.
Suddenly, he stopped, feeling a tearing sensation in his divine soul.
Qin Feilong gritted his teeth and decided to continue drawing, but soon, the style of the talisman he was drawing began to deviate from the first rune.
He also gasped for air and broke out in a sweat because of it.
This was not a talisman he could draw, or rather, with his current cultivation, he simply couldn’t draw it.
Qin Feilong lingered on the first rune for a full quarter of an hour, panting like a cornered wild beast.
Finally, he put down his brush and gave up on the first rune.
Seeing this, the Qingyun Envoy sneered, “If you can’t draw it, then don’t. Throughout history, how many people have cultivated both paths? Do you really think you are Feng He Du Xian from tens of thousands of years ago?”
Since the fall of the Phoenix and the demise of the True Dragon, only Feng He in the Cultivation World could cultivate both paths to their peak. Who was Qin Feilong to even compare himself to Feng He Du Xian?
Qin Feilong took a deep breath and continued to draw the second rune.
As expected, he only drew half of it before it broke off again.
But Qin Feilong started laughing.
His second rune had one more stroke than the first.
The Qingyun Envoy couldn’t help but mock again, “I want to see how many you can draw.”
He wasn’t worried at all that Qin Feilong could draw them, after all, if the talisman masters of the Upper Cultivation World couldn’t draw them after tens of thousands of years, how could a fledgling like him do it?
If they didn’t suspect that these leaked runes were fake, they, the Qingyun Tower, wouldn’t have bothered to see what the real Talisman Saint Talismans looked like.
These runes might not even be real, and what was drawn from them certainly wouldn’t be real.
But who knew, right before his eyes, Qin Feilong drew slower and slower, more and more completely. Time ticked by, and the runes under Qin Feilong’s brush gradually revealed their true appearance.
This… how is this possible?
The Qingyun Envoy was suddenly shocked, and by the time he reacted, Qin Feilong had already taken out the talisman he had drawn and presented it to him.
It was no different from the Talisman Saint runes, not a bit more, not a bit less.
Out of sixteen runes, he had only drawn the last one, but it was enough to shock everyone present.
These were Talisman Saint runes!
Talisman Saint runes that no one had drawn for tens of thousands of years!
Qin Feilong supported himself on the desk and stood up, his soul power almost depleted, blood still filling his throat.
He glared at the Qingyun Envoy and asked through gritted teeth:
“May I ask, Envoy Senior, are you satisfied!”
Saying this, he flung the talisman in front of the Qingyun Envoy.
