Asura Mad Emperor

Qinchuan certainly would not go to the Taixuan Sect.

He went to the Congyun Sect, not to seek discipleship but to retrieve something he had left behind years before, the first part of his awakening as an Innate Body, the Innate Pupils.

At the same time, he was there to awaken the Myriad Laws Treasure Body for Qin Xiaoyu.

And to see the old parts of yesteryear.

...

The next morning.

A Fourth Rank, Ninth Grade Peak magical bird, a Crimson Flame Bird, soared into the sky from the Qin Residence in Great Wilderness City, piercing into the clouds and racing toward the Congyun Sect.

Great Wilderness City was hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Congyun Sect.

Even with the speed of the Crimson Flame Bird, it would take more than ten days to arrive.

Qinchuan and Qin Xiaoyu were sitting cross-legged on the wide back of the Crimson Flame Bird.

A faint Qinghui rose from the body of the Crimson Flame Bird, forming a light shield that enveloped both Qinchuan and Qin Xiaoyu, blocking the impact of the airflow during flight.

This was mainly for the sake of Qin Xiaoyu, who had not yet formally started cultivating, to prevent her from being unable to withstand the gusts from the high-speed flight of the Crimson Flame Bird.

Within this light shield, the strong airflow was blocked outside; even the fierce sound of the wind disappeared without a trace.

"Wow, brother, look! What a beautiful view!"

High in the sky, Qin Xiaoyu exclaimed excitedly, like a joyous little sprite, gazing far ahead at the fiery red sunrise. The soft and charming radiance dazzled her eyes, reflecting upon the vast misty clouds, creating a scene like a painting from the human world, intoxicating to behold.

Qinchuan smiled and gazing into the distance said, "When we get to the Congyun Sect, the scenery there will be much more beautiful than what you see now."

"Really? But I heard that to enter the Congyun Sect, one must pass a very strict assessment. Xiaoyu doesn't even have a bit of True Qi yet; can I pass the assessment and enter the Congyun Sect?"

Qin Xiaoyu burst into cheers upon hearing this, but then she began to worry.

Qinchuan ruffled Qin Xiaoyu's little head, affectionately saying, "My sister entering the Congyun Sect is a blessing for them. If the Congyun Sect dares not to accept you, your brother will dismantle the Sect for you!"

"Brother, you're bragging again!"

Hearing Qinchuan's words, Qin Xiaoyu giggled with her lips pursed, then playfully threw herself into Qinchuan's arms.

"Now, you dare to doubt your brother is bragging? I'll have to teach you a lesson today so you'll see how amazing your brother is."

Qinchuan cried out and reached to tickle Qin Xiaoyu's armpits. Read latest chapters at empire

"Giggle...brother...stop tickling, Xiaoyu is wrong..."

Soon Qin Xiaoyu was laughing so hard that she couldn't catch her breath, loudly begging for mercy.

"Now you know your brother's strength, right? Let's see if you dare to say I'm bragging again."

Qinchuan stopped at the right time, smiling as he spoke.

If someone familiar with him saw this scene, they would probably be shocked to disbelief. Who could imagine that the Asura Emperor, who once made the heavens tremble with his killings, would have such a gentle moment, frolicking and playing with a little girl, completely devoid of any bloodthirsty or cold demeanor.

"Hmm? It's the Lin Family's people…"

Just at that moment, Qinchuan's gaze shifted, noticing two groups of people fighting fiercely on the ground below.

His vision was astonishing, recognizing one group as people from the Lin Family of Great Wilderness City.

The other group seemed like bandits, currently ambushing the people from the Lin Family.

Qinchuan commanded the Crimson Flame Bird to fly lower.

"It's Sister Lin Xi!"

As the Crimson Flame Bird descended, Qin Xiaoyu also spotted the battling parties below and couldn't help exclaiming when she saw the second young miss of the Lin Family.

"Oh? Xiaoyu, you know her?"

Qinchuan looked at Qin Xiaoyu with surprise.

Qin Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Brother, you don't know, after you went to the Great Wilderness a month ago, Sister Lin Xi often came to the Qin Residence to play with me and even gave me lots of pastries she made herself, and they were all so delicious."

"Brother, it looks like Sister Lin Xi and the others are in trouble, shall we go down and help them?"

Qin Xiaoyu, innocent and kind-hearted as she was, could not bear to see the Lin Family's people suffering heavy casualties and suggested helpfully.

Hearing this, Qinchuan touched Qin Xiaoyu's head affectionately and said, "Alright, since our Xiaoyu has spoken, let's go and help them."

"Chi Yan."

Following that, he called out indifferently, and the Crimson Flame Bird immediately dived toward the ground below.

And below.

"You scum of the Azure Dragon Gang, we are from the Lin Family of Shanhe County. Do you dare to ambush us like this? Aren't you afraid of the Lin Family's retaliation?!"

The head of the Lin Family, Lin Buyu, was covered in blood as he roared furiously at the bandits in front of him.

"Hahaha, so what if you are from the Lin Family of Shanhe County? If we kill all of you, who will know it was done by our Azure Dragon Gang?"

"Moreover, even if your Lin Family in Shanhe County finds out, so what? After we kill you, we'll go and loot another city. Once we plunder enough resources, we can relocate, establish our own sect, and dominate a territory, hahahaha..."

A burly one-eyed man with an eye patch snickered coldly, and with a lift of his hand sent Lin Buyu flying with a slap.

"Father!"

Lin Xi suddenly cried out in alarm, and in her distraction, was pounced on and pinned down by two bandits from the Azure Dragon Gang.

"Hahahaha, what a fair and beautiful young lady, if you don't want your father to die right now, just obediently please us..."

The two bandits smirked lecherously.

"Ah… No!"

Lin Xi's face turned deathly pale, screaming in despair.

However, at that moment.

A huge shadow suddenly appeared on the ground.

Simultaneously, a fierce storm suddenly erupted around them, swirling like a tornado, causing dust and sand to rise in all directions.

In the midst of that dusty sky, the Crimson Flame Bird flapped its wings, unleashing sharp Wind Blades that flew out, slicing through all directions.

"Ssshhhh—"

"Pff pff pff..."

"Ah... What is that?!"

In the dim chaos of the storm, bandits from the Azure Dragon Gang were struck by the Wind Blades, crying out in fear and agony.

Streams of bright, crimson blood splattered, as if to dye the storm red.

After a moment.

The screams quieted.

In the sandstorm's dim aftermath, the diving Crimson Flame Bird flapped fiercely, suddenly soaring upward and vanishing into the distance in the blink of an eye.

As the Crimson Flame Bird retreated, the murky storm also dissipated.

Lin Xi looked around at the fallen members of the Azure Dragon Gang, their corpses everywhere, her face growing slightly pale.

Then she immediately came to her senses, got up, and hurried over to Lin Buyu and Lin Que, "Father, brother, are you alright?"

"Cough cough... We're fine."

Lin Buyu and Lin Que both got up from the ground.

"What happened? What caused that huge storm all of a sudden, and how did all these people from the Azure Dragon Gang die?"

Other Lin Family elders and members, looking at the scattered corpses, were all shocked.

"Look over there, in the distance! Such a huge demonic bird, it seemed to have dived down just now and slaughtered the bandits of the Azure Dragon Gang for us..."

Someone suddenly pointed at the fast disappearing figure of the Crimson Flame Bird and exclaimed.

"There's someone on the back of the demonic bird!"

"Looking at its direction of flight, it seems to have flown out from Great Wilderness City..."

The people of the Lin Family all exclaimed, looking at the Crimson Flame Bird that was now a speck in the distance, they could vaguely see two figures, one large and one small, on its back, their eyes filled with gratitude.

"Is it him..."

Lin Xi stared blankly at the Crimson Flame Bird that had soared into the sky, at the two blurry figures on its back, and murmured to herself.

That figure was so tall and upright.
