C9 This Is How Villains Are Raised

Along the way, Hsiang Lanxuan had somehow obtained another secret manual, rare spiritual herbs, and secret realm inheritance. Qiao Sheng had been sneering all the way until Hsiang Lanxuan touched the node of the secret realm, and the exit of the secret realm opened again.

"Martial Nephew's luck is truly enviable."

Qiao Sheng's tone was indifferent, it was hard to tell if he was being sarcastic or not.

"Martial Uncle, I..."

"Alright, I still have things to do here. Let's part ways here." Qiao Sheng waved his hand. He did not want to listen to Hsiang Lanxuan's explanation. He lowered his head and thought about something. Then he said, "If you want to go back to the sect, tell the sect master that I am going to the Southern Region."

"Wait, Martial Uncle!"

Before Hsiang Lanxuan could stop him, Qiao Sheng had already taken out the teleportation scroll. With a soft flash of light, Qiao Sheng's figure disappeared from where he stood. Hsiang Lanxuan was alone, staring blankly at the place where Qiao Sheng had disappeared.

After a long while, he lowered his head to look at the Profound Sky Stone that he had been holding tightly in his hand. Legend had it that the Profound Sky Stone was a stone formed from the fragments of the ancient mighty figures who failed to transcend the tribulation and were struck by the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder. There were only three Profound Sky Stones in total, and they were extremely precious. The preciousness of the Profound Sky Stone was that the Spiritual Force of the Profound Sky Stone was rich and pure, and it could be continuously provided to those who used it.

He had wanted to give the Profound Heaven Stone to Qiao Sheng, but Qiao Sheng left without hesitation.

Xiao Jin, who had been staying in Hsiang Lanxuan's beast pet space ever since he came out of the secret realm, witnessed the entire scene. His only shining golden eyes were filled with greed and anger. Hsiang Lanxuan actually wanted to give such a good thing to someone else, and his cultivation was not even as high as theirs.

...

Qiao Sheng, who had used the teleportation scroll, stood silently in front of the ruined cave.

Ye Qingming had disappeared.

But it was no wonder that he had promised Ye Qingming ten years, and he was ten years late. Ye Qingming was not a fool, how could he stay where he was and wait for him for so long?

"System, is Ye Qingming dead?" If Ye Qingming died, he would have to find another villain.

"Mr. Qiao, I'm sorry, but you have no right to know," the cold mechanical voice of the system sounded in his mind.

Qiao Sheng raised his eyebrows and tapped his forehead lightly. Yes, he had used all his privileges as a newcomer to predict Hsiang Lanxuan's future.

"Tsk..."

Qiao Sheng suddenly frowned. He touched the back of his neck. Just now, he felt a pain in the back of his neck. It was the same feeling as in the secret realm. It felt as if he had been bitten by something, but it did not cause him to bleed.

Did something follow him out of the secret realm?

There was a faint sound of flowing water beside his ear. He followed the sound and passed through a forest. The sound of flowing water became louder. It turned out to be a waterfall.

Qiao Sheng raised his eyebrows and decided to take a bath first before going to find Ye Qingming. If he couldn't find him, he would just treat Ye Qingming as dead.

In fact, Qiao Sheng could easily cleanse himself with a Body Cleansing Technique, but he obviously did not want to do so.

The white dress fell away from her long legs, revealing a well-muscled nakedness. The white dress slid down her long legs and landed on the shore, her full, round toes like peach-pink pearls that made one want to hold them in one's hand.

To be honest, Qiao Sheng was very satisfied with this body. It had abdominal muscles, but it was not exaggerated. The skin was nice and the body was beautiful. It was a pity that he was using this body now, or else he would have been interested in the original owner.

Qiao Sheng stood in the pond under the waterfall. The water level just reached his chest.

Qiao Sheng leaned against a huge rock and closed his eyes to rest. Perhaps he was waiting for something.

As time passed, the waterfall continued to fall into the water, and the sound of water mixed with the faint cries of birds and beasts could be heard. Everything seemed to be normal, if one ignored the warmth on Qiao Sheng's ankle.

He opened his eyes, which were filled with indifference and even a trace of killing intent.

"Come out."

Qiao Sheng jumped out of the water, just like in the martial arts dramas. In the blink of an eye, he had already put on his clothes. His long hair was still dripping with water, and his body was not dry yet. His white underwear clung to his skin, outlining the curves of his body.

There were only the ripples on the surface of the water that Qiao Sheng had created when he went out. The ripples gradually disappeared until there was no longer any movement.

He stared at the calm surface of the water and narrowed his eyes, "Don't make me say it again."

There was still no movement.

The air pressure around Qiao Sheng plummeted. He had already gathered a strong light in his hand, planning to throw it into the water at the slightest disagreement.

"Heh... I've finally been discovered..."

A warm breath came from the corner of his ear, and in the next second, Qiao Sheng was hugged, his back leaning against a slightly cold chest. Qiao Sheng wanted to grab the other party's neck with his backhand, but the other party's reaction was faster than his. Grabbing his wrist, he was able to see the face of the person behind him.

"It's you?"

Qiao Sheng recognized the man in red. He was the beauty that he had first seen in the coffin in the secret realm.

"Yes, it's me." The man had a smile on his face and a red light flashed across his eyes. Suddenly, he lowered his head and bit Qiao Sheng's neck.

Qiao Sheng groaned in pain. His blood was flowing out and the sound of the man swallowing was very clear.

A vampire?

In Qiao Sheng's free hand, he held a dagger that came out of nowhere and stabbed the man in the heart with a backhand. At the same time, his neck was bitten too hard. When he pushed the man away, the wound opened up and blood flowed out.

Soon, a large part of Qiao Sheng's body was dyed red.

He covered his wound. He was not in a hurry to heal himself, but looked at the man warily.

There was blood coming out from the man's chest, but after the man pulled out the dagger, the wound was healing at a visible speed.

"Look at you, what a waste." The man's tone was filled with a strange doting tone as his gaze swept across Qiao Sheng's wound.

Qiao Sheng ignored the man and simply applied a hemostasis technique on himself before taking out the Reverse Sword to fight. A fight between cultivators was similar to the special effects in movies. All kinds of incantations were recited and various colors flashed. Even the sword was added with a flashing special effect, which meant that something had been injected with Spiritual Force. Qiao Sheng was a Nascent Soul cultivator after all. In just a few minutes, he had thrown out a few special effects. The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees were almost destroyed, but the man in red was fine. Not only that, the man was even in the mood to say, "You taste very good. How about being my blood slave?"

Qiao Sheng did not even bother to give him a look. He stopped in the air and looked at the waterfall, drawing out the water. The water turned into a dragon, opening its mouth to swallow the man.

The man blinked at Qiao Sheng and dodged the water dragon. The water dragon chased after the man. The man teleported in front of Qiao Sheng and the water dragon caught up with him. The man pulled Qiao Sheng into the mouth of the water dragon.

Qiao Sheng raised his sword from the bottom to the top to cut the man's arm, but just as he was about to touch it, the man retracted his hand in time.

"Give up. You can't beat me now." The man licked his lips, his eyes filled with ridicule, "I don't have any killing intent towards you."

Qiao Sheng slashed at the surroundings with his sword, and the water dragon immediately collapsed, causing the water to fall back down.

"Who are you? Why are you here? And what's going on with the secret realm?" Qiao Sheng looked straight into the man's eyes, his expression not very good.
