"That’s right, Master Qin, you get to eat meat and drink every day, while we risk our lives and run errands for you. This life is unbearable."

A noisy commotion arose.

Qin Qi’s face turned ashen, his hand raised in mid-air, his fingers trembling, showing his uncontrollable anger.

"Enough, enough."

After storing the Spirit Jade into his Storage Ring, Qin Qi left with a complicated expression.

He was by no means a ruthless person, so naturally, he wouldn’t harm these disciples.

Besides, if he really did kill his disciples, wouldn’t the remaining tens of thousands of disciples rebel?

His silhouette under the moonlight appeared desolate.

As many cultivators saw him walk away, they plopped down on their knees, looking at Dongfang Qing.

"Sect Master Dongfang, we are willing to follow you, as long as we can have meat to eat."

"We’ve had enough of this beggar’s life."

Seeing this, Dongfang Qing’s eyes shimmered.

Keeping these people would naturally be useful.

Most of the cultivators on Tianyong Mountain were currently situated there. If the disciples of the Heavenly Beggar Gang were recruited inside,

Tianyong Mountain’s influence would undoubtedly spread throughout the Blackwater Secret Realm.

"Fine. From now on, you will be wandering disciples of Tianyong Mountain. You can come to Tianyong Mountain every month to receive your salary and do some things for us."

Dongfang Qing agreed with an authoritative demeanor.

Although there were three thousand disciples here, forming a dense crowd,

given his profound strength, each disciple heard him clearly.

This turmoil was quickly quelled by Dongfang Qing, and he even recruited more than three thousand disciples.

Once the arrangements were complete,

Dongfang Qing returned to Tianyong Mountain with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, Qin Qi, like a nimble swallow, leapt across the night sky.

Wherever he passed, he left no trace.

Before long, he arrived at a dilapidated courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, weeds were rampant, spider webs covered everywhere, and poisonous snakes slithered around.

In the courtyard, there was a pile of fire, flames flickering.

A young girl in a blue long dress sat by the fire, resting her chin on her hands, her lively eyes watching the stars in the sky.

"Lin Hongyi, your master is back."

Qin Qi walked in with a cheerful smile.

Lin Hongyi jumped up from the ground, her face full of anticipation as she stared at Qin Qi.

"Master, how did it go? Did you cause the cultivators on Tianyong Mountain to lose sleep?"

Looking at this girl, Qin Qi rolled his eyes and spread his hands.

"I think the Sect Master of Tianyong is quite good. Why are you giving him trouble?"

"This time, for you, my girl, I’ve lost both sides."

Lin Hongyi was taken aback.

"Didn’t succeed? You’re the renowned Qin Qi. Even my brother fears you a bit. I can’t believe you couldn’t handle even a Junior Sect Master?"

Lin Hongyi mocked.

Qin Qi, hearing this, was unfazed.

He knew his disciple well; this was clearly an attempt to provoke him.

"Don’t get any funny ideas, I won’t bother with this matter anymore."

With that, Qin Qi flew onto the rooftop like a ghost, disappearing into the night sky.

Seeing Qin Qi leave, Lin Hongyi stamped her feet in frustration.

"Looks like I have to take action myself."

"What, you little girl still want to take action yourself? Master has warned you, you’d better not mess with Tianyong Mountain."

A voice came from ten kilometers away.

Qin Qi’s profound strength allowed him to hear Lin Hongyi’s words even from ten kilometers away.

He could even transmit his voice across hundreds of miles using the Sound Transmission Technique.

To this warning, Lin Hongyi showed disdain.

Soon, she thought of her good sister.

Teaming up with her good sister, surely they could turn Tianyong Mountain upside down.

"Hmph, a Junior Sect Master trying to become Leader of the Blackwater Alliance, utterly unaware of his limitations."

Lin Hongyi had already researched Tianyong Mountain.

The hardest to deal with were Dongfang Qing and Wang Ye.

The two shared a great relationship and brought Tianyong Mountain to prosperity.

If their relationship could be sabotaged, and Tianyong Mountain split, it would be much easier to deal with.

After plotting, Lin Hongyi lightly tapped her toes, flying out of the dilapidated courtyard, heading towards a bustling city.

In the bustling city, there was a particularly luxurious courtyard.

In the courtyard stood an ancient pavilion, clearly a wealthy household.

Melodies of the zither reverberated within the pavilion.

Under the moonlight, a woman in a white long dress sat beside a phoenix zither, her slender fingers plucking the strings.

"Bai Qinmo, your zither skills have improved a lot in just a few days."

As the voice fell, Lin Hongyi appeared in front of the woman in the white dress.

Bai Qinmo looked up, staring at Lin Hongyi, and said softly.

"I truly envy you, able to wander around, while I’m stuck here every day, playing the zither and listening to the cicadas."

"Well, what’s the matter? When you come to find me, it’s rarely for good news."

Lin Hongyi’s mouth curled into a grin, revealing a dimple on her delicate cheek.

She wrapped her arms around Bai Qinmo’s neck, swaying slightly.

"Sister Bai knows me well. I want to bring down Tianyong Mountain."

Lin Hongyi whispered gently in Bai Qinmo’s ear.

After listening, Bai Qinmo’s eyes lit up.

"That does sound interesting. We’ll see whose bond is stronger, ours or Dongfang Qing and Wang Ye’s."

Seeing no fear on Bai Qinmo’s face, Lin Hongyi’s eyes flickered with a hint of worry.

"Sister Bai Qinmo, we’re just putting on a show. You better not fall for Dongfang Qing."

"Don’t worry, mischievous girl."

Bai Qinmo was very confident.

In terms of appearance, in the entire Blackwater Secret Realm, she ranked third, while Lin Hongyi was second.

As the saying goes, heroes often fall for beauty.

No matter how heroic and mighty Wang Ye and Dongfang Qing were, they couldn’t escape their grasp.

...

Meanwhile,

Wang Ye was not cultivating at Tianyong Mountain; he had arrived at the South Sea Grassland.

This place was very beautiful.

At the edge of the boundless grassland lay a vast blue sea.

Due to its vastness, the area was sparsely populated.

Anyone coming here could claim a piece of land.

However, it was filled with loneliness, seldom would one see another person in a day.

After arriving, Wang Ye built a pavilion, prepared food, and then sat cross-legged by the South Sea, closing his eyes to assess the surrounding environment.

With his formidable strength, he could sense birds and fish within a hundred miles; even an ant a hundred miles away could not escape his sight.

"Within a hundred miles, there is no sign of human habitation, only birds and fish, not even herders."

After sensing the surroundings.

Wang Ye took off his robe and jumped into the sea.

His body continuously sank, suspended in the depths of the blue sea.

With his formidable strength, he didn’t need to breathe through his nose, as his skin could breathe.

Even if he stayed in the sea for a day, it wouldn’t matter.

The blue seawater enveloped him.

He intended to cultivate a cultivation technique called the Blue Sea Codex!

This cultivation technique was ethereal and elusive; no one in the entire Blackwater Secret Realm had ever successfully cultivated it.

However, to become Leader of the Blackwater Alliance, having a few impressive cultivation techniques was essential.

Mastering this technique would make one almost invincible in the Blackwater Secret Realm.
