Isn't This a Game? Why Are You All Cultivating for Real!

Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Are You Sick in the Head?

"Has the fight started inside?"

The situation in the main courtyard was visible from the outer courtyard.

However, the two areas were separated by an invisible barrier. To get inside, those on the outside had to break it.

Tao Yitian of the Biyin Sect and Xiao Yushu of the Starlight Sect.

Along with three other Cultivators who had been pulled into the instance, they all gathered together.

The few of them all felt that their cultivation had been suppressed to the Late-stage Foundation Establishment.

Aside from Xu Qingchuan, whom they didn’t know well, Tao Yitian and Xiao Yushu both knew they were Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

There was only one explanation for being reduced to the Late-stage Foundation Establishment.

Someone with too low a Level had entered, dragging down the average.

If everyone had been at least Late-stage Foundation Establishment, the average would have put them all at the Golden Core Stage.

To be dragged down this low could only mean that person was at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment.

But looking at the reactions of the other three, none of them seemed to be mere Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

Even Xu Qingchuan had dared to enter the Qin Mansion; it was unlikely he was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"How did an Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator even get in?"

Although the Moonlight Secret Realm didn’t restrict anyone from Qi Refinement to the Golden Core Early Stage, the Cultivators assigned to a single pocket world were usually of a similar Realm. Such a ridiculous gap was almost impossible.

This was a gap of an entire major Realm!

Tao Yitian frowned, extremely annoyed. Having been nerfed to the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, he couldn’t unleash the true power of his Golden Core Treasure either.

He was having the exact same thought as Xu Qingchuan, who was inside.

Xiao Yushu, on the other hand, glanced around. "Where’s that female cultivator?"

Tonight was the night to fight Qin Yongkang. The moment they detected movement from inside, their group would strike.

Only by breaking the barrier and dealing with Qin Yongkang before the bride was defeated could they get a piece of the pie.

Besides, they couldn’t let the bride die first.

If the bride died, Qin Yongkang would go berserk, making him even harder to deal with.

The later they went, the fewer benefits there would be.

Xiao Yushu was referring to Song Jiulai.

Tao Yitian glanced around, his brow furrowed, but he didn’t seem too concerned. "She’s also in the Qin Mansion. She can’t have gone far, unless she has a death wish."

When the battle with Qin Yongkang begins in this pocket world, the Qin Mansion will be sealed.

It’s even more dangerous outside at this time.

At least, according to intel from others who had cleared this pocket world before, some Cultivators had chosen to leave the Qin Mansion during this phase, only to be instantly shredded by spatial rifts.

This proved it was impossible to leave the Qin Mansion during this time.

Xiao Yushu extended his spiritual sense but couldn’t find any trace of Song Jiulai’s aura. "I really can’t sense her aura. Could she have left the Qin Mansion?"

Tao Yitian was unconcerned. "Then she’s just asking for death."

One of the other three frowned slightly. "Fellow Daoists, we should break this barrier quickly. Otherwise, if the bride can’t hold on and Qin Yongkang goes berserk, escaping will be even more difficult."

They couldn’t afford to be defeated and buried in a world that wasn’t even considered the most dangerous, could they?

Hearing this, Tao Yitian and Xiao Yushu said no more. The group unleashed their Divine Skills, attacking the invisible barrier before them.

Meanwhile, inside, Xu Qingchuan was roaring at Song Jiulai, "What are you doing? Hurry up and help! If something happens to me, you won’t be able to escape either!"

It wasn’t that Song Jiulai didn’t want to help, but...

’So fragrant...’

’The blood smells so good, hehehehehe...’

"AHH!! Where did this damn bug come from!! How could there be a bug here!!"

Song Jiulai hadn’t seen her scorpion since she entered.

When the scorpion was still, it was truly hard to spot.

But now, just as she needed to act, the scorpion had suddenly gotten some ideas of its own.

The crucial thing was, she couldn’t make out the specifics from its thoughts, only a hint of something perverted...

And it was accompanied by a woman’s screams.

The noise was piercing and incredibly distracting to Song Jiulai’s fighting focus.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, even the System rarely bothered her during a fight.

’Misjudging the battlefield is fatal, you know?’

The mental chatter was driving her crazy. Song Jiulai mentally yelled at the scorpion but found it had no effect.

’So fragrant... so fragrant...’

"Where did this bug come from?! It must have been brought in by those two unreasonable people. I knew I shouldn’t have let them stay in the mansion, but I had no choice..."

The woman’s screams grew more frantic, and Song Jiulai vaguely recognized the voice.

Shaking her head to clear it, she fired five consecutive Palm Thunders at Qin Yongkang’s body.

This time, they were powerful. They were at least strong enough to make Qin Yongkang’s enraged body shudder violently several times.

He let out a furious roar. "You—you despicable adulterer!"

Song Jiulai: "..."

’Are you insane?!’

These five Palm Thunders were infused with the full power of Song Jiulai’s current Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, making Xu Qingchuan’s eyelids twitch.

’The power of that Palm Thunder is truly rare.’

Qin Yongkang trembled for two moments from the blast, but in the next second, he actually raised his enormous palm.

Two bolts of lightning, nearly identical to the Palm Thunders Song Jiulai had just used, struck down from above.

One aimed for Song Jiulai, the other for Xu Qingchuan.

Song Jiulai’s eyes went wide. "Aiya, what the hell?!"

’He can do that too?’

As she dodged, she saw that Xu Qingchuan opposite her was also stunned by Qin Yongkang’s move.

The lightning was incredibly powerful. Even though they dodged, the shrapnel from the explosion on the ground burst outward again.

The force of the shrapnel was immense, and a few pieces grazed past Song Jiulai’s body.

As she dodged, another woman’s scream echoed in her mind.

It pierced her thoughts, making her mind go numb and her body sluggish for an instant.

Her body, which was protected by a thick layer of Spiritual Energy, actually failed to block it. A piece of shrapnel flew past and grazed Song Jiulai’s cheek.

Song Jiulai immediately felt something wet. She reached up to touch it, and a stinging pain followed.

It had actually drawn blood.

Xu Qingchuan also hadn’t expected Qin Yongkang’s move to be so powerful. He, like Song Jiulai, had been wounded.

The next second, Song Jiulai suddenly yelled to him, "Brother Tiegen, hold him off! I’ll be right back!"

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to fight, but the woman’s screams in her head were getting louder.

They were tinged with a manic frustration, like someone lashing out in anger after failing to swat a bug.

This was seriously affecting Song Jiulai’s ability to fight.

She had to go deal with the scorpion first, or she wouldn’t be able to fight Qin Yongkang at all.

’Looks like this is going to be a protracted battle anyway.’

The woman’s voice from before had sounded a little familiar.

Like Little Cui’s.

In this huge battle at the Qin Mansion, where had all the servants gone?

Where was Little Cui?

Seeing Song Jiulai actually turn and fly away, Xu Qingchuan’s pupils shrank. He reached out to stop her. "Wait, where are you going? You can’t just run around the Qin Mansion..."

He instinctively tried to move closer to Song Jiulai, but a giant, cracked palm descended from the sky, blocking his path.

Looking up, he saw the ferocious and terrifying expression on Qin Yongkang’s bloated face. "Where do you think you’re going, my darling bride?! Can’t bear to be parted from your adulterous lover! Just wait until I have you on your knees, begging for mercy! Then I’ll kill this adulterer with my own hands, right in front of you! I’ll separate you by life and death!"

There was even a hint of jealousy.

Overbearing CEO Yongkang’s Ferocious Doting.

Xu Qingchuan: "..."

He finally couldn’t maintain his composure any longer and burst out cursing, "Are you insane?!"
