Chapter 93: Chapter 93: This Cane is Extraordinary

“Elder Mu, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting this city lord?”
“No, no, no.” Mu Yuntao said with a smile, “I just think that since it’s a grudge between the two families, why not let them handle it themselves?”
Jin Tianfeng was silent for a moment, then sneered, “Fine. I would like to see what Qin Changqing can do to fight against the Gongsun Family!” Half an incense stick’s time passed in the blink of an eye for cultivators.
But at this moment, it seemed to be infinitely extended.
Regardless of cultivation families, loose cultivators, or even ordinary people, everyone was staring in the direction of the Gongsun Family, watching the giant sword hanging in the air.
In Gongsun Residence, many people still had not reacted.
First, they were stunned, then incredulous, and finally, terrified.
As a Tier 7 Cultivation Family, the Gongsun Family had many servants who instinctively thought the Gongsun Family was the top power in Yinxu Prefecture, and outsiders would not dare to offend them.
However, the memory of Gongsun Ming’s funeral not long ago surfaced in their minds, and no one dared to go out even though Qin Changqing had already bullied them. This was obviously not in line with the Gongsun Family’s usual style.
As a result, many servants began to flee from the residence.
When one person led, many others followed.
The Gongsun Family members no longer had time to care, including those in charge. They had been waiting for news, thinking that their ancestors had sent people to the Fairy Mine. But instead of those people returning, Qin Changqing arrived.
So, what happened to Gongsun Zhi and the others? It’s obvious even if you think with your ass! “Ancestor! Quickly notify the ancestor!”
The people of the Gongsun Family finally reacted.
“Husband, the Gongsun Family has been in Yinxu Prefecture for more than four hundred years. They used to solely rely on their ancestor’s support, and only later did Gongsun Ming appear as their leader.” Murong Xue explained the Gongsun Family’s situation to Qin Changqing on the giant sword.
When the Murong Family planned to form an alliance through marriage with the Gongsun Family, she had also thoroughly understood their specific situation.
In terms of surface strength, the Gongsun Family was actually inferior to other Tier 7 families.
However, because their ancestor was too old and had lived for more than 400 years without showing itself, no one knew its true strength.
Without knowing this fact, no one dared to rashly attack the Gongsun Family.
Later, Gongsun Ming showed up, having a promising talent, and the hope of reaching Golden Elixir.
Unfortunately, he was killed by Qin Changqing.
“A conservative estimate would be Tier 3 or 4 Golden Elixir.” Qin Changqing thought.
“I can’t beat him.” Qin Lingshuang glanced at him.
Although the Sword Body was powerful, it had only just awakened and the Sword Intent had only formed a rudimentary shape. It was still too early to use it fluently.
If it were an ordinary Tier 1 Golden Elixir Cultivator, she would have had a chance.
For such an old monster with countless unknown tricks, the hope of winning was too slim.
“Don’t worry, you guys focus on dealing with the other people of the Gongsun Family. Leave that guy to me.”
While talking, half of an incense stick’s time had already passed.
Hundreds of people had run out of the Gongsun residence one after another.
There were probably still many ordinary people inside.
But Qin Changqing could not care about that anymore.
Ever since MO Jiuzhou informed him of the battle between the sect and the Dayan Imperial Palace, many things had already gone beyond his control while he was in Yinxu Prefecture.
Even if he didn’t take action, the city lord’s forces wouldn’t let him off.
So, why not take the initiative to attack?
“Let’s start.” Qin Changqing pinched his hand seal, and the giant sword under his feet immediately dispersed, transforming back into ninety-nine flying swords. Under his control, they all shot towards the Gongsun Residence.
Whizz, whizz, whizz!Swords rained down!
This single move caused the expressions of the spectators from various powers to change drastically.
Anyone below the Golden Elixir Realm would surely be unable to withstand it!
At this moment, an invisible force emerged from the Gongsun Family, forming a barrier in midair. The rain of swords collided with the barrier, and a roaring sound erupted amidst the agitation of spiritual qi.
“Hmm?”
All ninety-nine flying swords fell, but they did not cause any harm to the Gongsun Family. Qin Changqing raised an eyebrow and controlled the flying swords to return to him.
The next moment, a figure in a gray robe appeared in the sky.
This person looked to be about seventy years old, with white hair and a slightly hunched figure, his aura barely perceptible. His eyes were narrowed, and his face was full of wrinkles. He seemed like an old man with one foot in the coffin.
However, everyone knew that this seemingly dying old man was anything but harmless!
“Greetings, Ancestor!” Excited voices rang out from within the Gongsun Family.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-
Several figures flew out and landed behind the old man, one of them respectfully saying, “Ancestor, the Qin Family has been too overbearing, killing our people one after another, and now they even want to annihilate our Gongsun Family. Please, do something for us!”
“Please, Ancestor!”
The Gongsun Family’s ancestor, Gongsun Muyi, was now calmly staring at Qin Changqing with his murky eyes.
“It’s unexpected that after the many years I’ve been hidden, the young people in Yinxu Prefecture have become more and more outstanding,” Gongsun Muyi said slowly. “However, while it’s not bad to be young and vigorous, being too rigid can lead to breaking easily. Young man, I’ve already told the Gongsun Family to back off, so why do you still want to be pushy?”
Qin Changqing said indifferently, “Me, pushy? Isn’t it your Gongsun Family that’s relying on your power to bully others, and now that things have gone wrong, you want to simply settle it peacefully? Do you think such good things happen in this world? What if one day, I go to the Dayan Imperial Palace to kill people, and if I can’t win, I just apologize? What do you think?”
Gongsun Muyi laughed, “You are quite confident, young man. Do you really think the Gongsun Family is afraid of you? If it weren’t for the Lingxiao Sect backing you up, would you even have the qualifications to stand here and talk to me?”
“You really have no shame, old fool. Have you forgotten how old you are and how your face should look after all these years? Are you really okay with talking like this even when you’re hundreds of years old?”
Gongsun Muyi’s gaze turned cold, “You sure are witty and eloquent. Since
you’re seeking death, don’t blame this old man for using his seniority to bully
the junior!”
With that said, he waved his sleeve and sent a cane flying through the air, spinning towards Qin Changqing.
Ding!—
Qin Changqing used the Great River Sword Technique to repel the cane.
“Huh?” Gongsun Muyi uttered a surprised sound.
“Old fool, is this all you’ve got?” Qin Changqing sneered, “Did you waste your hundreds of years on a dog’s life?”
“Hmph!”
Gongsun Muyi didn’t say a word, but the killing intent in his heart surged.
Since their faces were already torn, there was no need for any scruples.
Moreover, Qin Changqing’s talent made him wary. If left unchecked, in a few decades, Qin Changqing alone might be able to slaughter the entire Gongsun Family.
“Mu Yuntao has Jin Tianfeng to keep him occupied. Killing this Qin Changqing wouldn’t be a problem. It’s just that the Gongsun Family will probably have to completely rely on Jin Tianfeng after this.” Gongsun Muyi thought to himself, his strength increasing even more. Holding the cane, he took a step forward, his figure suddenly shrinking, and quickly appeared in front of Qin Changqing.
Then, he thrust the cane forward.
It seemed like an ordinary movement, but it carried a mountain-like force. Qin Changqing felt an immense pressure coming straight at him.
“This cane is extraordinary.”
His eyes flickered, and the huge sword merged into one, colliding head-on with the power of the cane.
Boom!—
The deafening sound exploded, and the flying sword lost its support, falling from the sky with a clatter, some even turning into dust directly.
The terror of the Golden Elixir Realm!
At the fifth layer of the Golden Elixir… From this strike alone, Qin Changqing could guess Gongsun Muyi’s strength.
He himself was at the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment stage, and at the moment, his full power explosion could only reach around the third layer of the Golden Elixir Realm. Of course, this was just strength. Golden Elixir cultivators had a far better control over the fine details of their power and mastery of the Dao realm than Foundation Building cultivators.
So even if they used the same amount of power, a Golden Elixir cultivator could easily defeat a Foundation Building cultivator..
