Phoenix Voice and the woman beside her turned flustered.
It was Sword Immortal Qin!
They had plainly said that the moment Sword Immortal Qin perished, the Qin family would be nothing! However, that was only after Sword Immortal Qin perished. Sword Immortal Qin was not an inexperienced lass like Qin Yuluo. He was a peerless sword immortal who had forged his way through life and death. He had killed countless experts and Ancestral Fiends, and even ancient Chaos Godfiends… Even the infamous Wu Zhiqi had perished under his hands. He had carved through the twenty-six dominions with his sword, causing the fiends to lose large swaths of territory. Even the Fiend Ancestor could do nothing about him.
“Senior Qin.” Phoenix Voice instantly turned obedient as she bowed hurriedly. “Greetings Senior Qin, I’m Phoenix Voice.”
“Greetings, Senior Qin.” The woman beside her bowed obediently as well, not even daring to take a breath.
“This rope is pretty good.” Qin Yun held the rope in hand and said softly, “You planned to use it to bind my granddaughter and give her a hundred slaps?”
Phoenix Voice’s heart tensed up.
Regret! How regretful!
“No, it was nothing like that,” said Phoenix Voice hurriedly. “I was only trying to scare her. How could I have really done such a deed? It’s just some petty squabble between us juniors.”
“I, Qin Yun, am still alive.” Qin Yun did not even glance at Phoenix Voice. All he did was stare at the rope in his hand. “But someone already wants to bind a family member of mine so that she cannot resist before dealing her a hundred slaps. If I were to, as you say, fall, perishing because of the Itinerant Immortal tribulations… would you have taken more drastic measures?”
With that said, Qin Yun looked down at Phoenix Voice.
The color in Phoenix Voice’s face drained. “No, no…”
“Junior demon, are you prepared to die for doing this?” Qin Yun looked at her with extreme calmness. However, it left Phoenix Voice pale. Her hands were trembling as her feet nearly turned limp.
“Die?” Phoenix Voice found it unbelievable.
He was going to kill her?
Sword Immortal Qin would kill over such a trivial matter?
The woman beside her was horrified in despair.
Qin Yuluo, who was standing by the side in embarrassment ever since Qin Yu spoke, also looked at her grandfather in astonishment. “Grandfather, he’s…”
…
In Parasol Great World’s Firephoenix Mountain.
It was perennially in flames and deep in the mountain range was a cave abode where Nine Phoenix, a Sagedemon who was famous throughout the Three Realms since the ancient Heavenly Courts resided. She was a peerless expert ranked in the top five back in the ancient Heavenly Court days. She was even superior to Bai Ze for a very long period of time. It was only later when Bai Ze broke through to the perfected Great Dao that he become the present Demon Emperor Bai Ze.
Now, with humans ruling over the Three Realms, the demons were in recession.
The ancient Sagedemon, Nine Phoenix, seldom made appearances and kept a very low profile. However, her strength was redoubtable among the Sagedemon demons.
“Phoenix Voice, why are you looking for me with such urgency?” Nine Phoenix was dressed in a elegant and luxurious red robe. Her brows exuded an domineering aura.
“Matriarch, I had a petty squabble with the Qin family’s lass, Qin Yuluo, out of jealousy pertaining to the matter with Brother Meng. I even said I wanted to slap her a hundred times, but unbeknownst to me, Sword Immortal Qin was just nearby.” Phoenix Voice’s avatar respectfully and quickly recounted the situation. She did not dare hide the truth.
“You failed to detect Qin Yun when he was just nearby?” Nine Phoenix could not help but frown.
“He had converged his aura, so how could I sense him?” Phoenix Voice’s avatar said helplessly. Following that, her expression changed drastically as she said hurriedly, “Matriarch, Matriarch, he wants to kill me! Save me!”
“What?”
Nine Phoenix’s expression changed as she vanished from her spot. From another dominion, she traversed the extensive distance to where Phoenix Voice was. Through their karmic relationship, Nine Phoenix was able to clearly know where this junior of hers was.
******
“Junior demon, are you prepared to die for doing this?”
The moment Qin Yun finished his sentence, he sensed a fluctuation descend upon him. A fiery-red haired woman dressed in a luxurious red robe stepped through the void. The moment she arrived, the surrounding temperatures seemed to increase a few notches. The sun in the sky also dimmed somewhat. The sun’s rays seemed to gather on her, making her a fiery supreme of the world.
“Hmph.” Qin Yun shot her a glance and waved the white rope in hand.
With the rope in hand, he could refine it for himself easily with his Dharmic powers. His waving of the rope resulted in it flying in an unpredictable trajectory. Even though Phoenix Voice wished to dodge, the white robe still managed to bind her in an inexplicable manner.
With a tug of the rope, Phoenix Voice was pulled to him. She had all her Dharmic powers sealed and she was bound. There was no way for her to resist. With a beckon, Qin Yuluo was pulled to Qin Yun’s side as well.
“Sword Immortal Qin, please show mercy,” the woman in midair said. Meanwhile, she walked over. With just one step, she arrived at the restaurant’s entrance, and with another, she appeared inside the restaurant. However, none of the customers could see or hear what was happening.
“Sword Immortal Qin.” The woman was rather polite.
“Nine Phoenix.” However, Qin Yun did not wear a smile. All he did was look at her calmly.
“Sword Immortal Qin, Phoenix Voice has informed me of what happened,” said Nine Phoenix immediately with a smile. “It’s really her fault, but such petty squabbles should be left to them, letting the best prevail. Her wish of slapping your junior a hundred times is indeed quite humiliating, but since it has not happened, there’s no need to be too harsh on her.”
Qin Yun pointed at the bound Phoenix Voice. “Do you know how this rope came to be in my hands?”
Nine Phoenix revealed a look of puzzlement.
“She was the one who first struck. I intercepted it,” said Qin Yun.
“I’ll get her to apologize and compensate Miss Yuluo and I’ll compensate you as well,” said Nine Phoenix with a smile. “Can we let this matter pass?”
Qin Yun looked at her. “Since you are willing to compensate me, I’ll give her a chance. I won’t kill her.”
Nine Phoenix listened with a smile.
The bound Phoenix Voice secretly heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to herself, “This Sword Immortal Qin still fears us demons. He does not dare to go too far or it might result in repercussions for his Qin family.
Qin Yuluo listened by the side without daring to interject.
“I will give her a chance. Although she will be spared from death, that does not mean there will be no punishment!” Qin Yun said. “I will let Yuluo slap her a hundred times. Following that, she will be imprisoned in my Qin Manor’s dungeon for a hundred thousand years. She will regain her freedom after that.”
Phoenix Voice, the woman, and Qin Yuluo were alarmed.
Nine Phoenix’s expression changed as she said in a deep voice, “Sword Immortal Qin, aren’t you going a little too overboard?”
“Overboard?”
Qin Yun’s gaze turned ice-cold as he looked at Nine Phoenix. “Nine Phoenix, you should understand that certain things can and cannot be done. Doing them… leads to death! I, Qin Yun, am indeed an Itinerant Immortal. Countless experts in the Three Realms are watching me, waiting for me to die under the Itinerant Immortal tribulations! Indeed, the Itinerant Immortal tribulations are fraught with danger. Even I do not have any confidence of transcending them. In the future, I might very well perish under the Itinerant Immortal tribulations.
“But I’m still very much alive now! To think people dare bully my family members while I’m alive. What will happen when I’m dead?” Qin Yun had a fierce look in his eyes.
The chances of him dying in the Itinerant Immortal tribulations were high.
Therefore, he had long made plans.
Before his final tribulation, he would arrange things for his family. He would ensure that his wife and children would not be bullied even after his death. After all, his carnage across the Three Realms had resulted in him having many enemies, especially the fiends! There were definitely many who wanted to seek revenge against his Qin family. However, Qin Yun was in no rush. He felt that there was plenty of time. Also, his strength was still rising constantly, and the stronger he was, the easier it was to arrange certain things.
He would make sure everything was in place before his final tribulation.
But he never expected that while he was still alive, with thousands of years left to live, the demoness Phoenix Voice would actually dare take action against his granddaughter.
“Sword Immortal Qin, this is just a conflict among juniors. Phoenix Voice had no intention to kill; is going to such lengths necessary?” asked Nine Phoenix.
“It’s precisely because she had no intention to kill that I gave her a chance to live,” said Qin Yun. “Yuluo, come. Slap her a hundred times.”
“Grandfather?” Qin Yuluo was somewhat hesitant.
Nine Phoenix was just beside them.
“Do it!” said Qin Yun coldly.
“Yes,” Qin Yuluo answered obediently.
“Qin Yun, I can ignore the hundred slaps, but an imprisonment of a hundred thousand years is too much.” Nine Phoenix looked at Qin Yun. “Please compromise!”
“Nine Phoenix, you may leave. Of course, you can stay and watch her being slapped,” said Qin Yun.
“Qin Yun!” Nine Phoenix raged as well. She had a spitfire personality and although her temper had turned for the better after keeping a prolonged low profile, she finally lost her temper despite her smiling urges. She bellowed, “I’ve been speaking nicely to you, but you have acted to arrogantly. You are thinking nothing of me or the demons!”
“The Fiend Ancestor once threatened me,” said Qin Yun, “yet, I still stormed through the twenty-six dominions. Who do you think you are? As I said, no one can stop me today!”
Nine Phoenix’s eyes burned. “Very good. Very good. You dare think lightly of me?”
Boom!
Nine Phoenix instantly soared into the sky as flames rushed out the restaurant’s ceiling and high into the sky.
Extremely glaring flames appeared in midair while Nine Phoenix bathed in their heat. She looked down and bellowed angrily, “Qin Yun, come out! Fight me! I want to see what gives you the confidence to dare go over my head!”
“You do know that Wu Zhiqi died under my blade.” Qin Yun sat at his table and looked up at Nine Phoenix. “Yet, you plan on fighting me?”
