Chapter 103 Part 2

"Someone come, someone come!"

People did come, but not the ones he wanted.

Jiang Hui's face turned deathly pale as he watched the other party stroll in leisurely, walking straight up to him.

"Are you Jiang Hui?" That person's icy cold voice was like a spring of water, and his handsome appearance was even more otherworldly. On any other day, Jiang Hui would have exhausted all means to get his hands on such a stunning beauty, but at this moment, he was in no mood for that.

Jiang Hui asked, "Who are you?"

The other party did not answer and instead asked, "Twenty-nine years ago, do you still remember the massacre of the Zhou family in Fulin County's Zhou Village?"

Of course Jiang Hui didn't remember. Such a minor matter had not left any trace in his heart, let alone requiring his personal involvement.

He tried to maintain his composure and said, "I don't know which esteemed expert you are, sir. I am the Right Prime Minister of Dongyue. If there is any matter, we can sit down and discuss it."

Zhou Yin had long anticipated that Jiang Hui wouldn't remember. The Zhou couple had lived an ordinary life, and even their deaths were so insignificant. But with him present, even if he couldn't bring them back to life, he could at least let them rest in peace.

With that thought, Zhou Yin extended his hand holding the Lingyin Sword.

Dealing with a mortal required almost no effort.

Jiang Hui was immobilized. Amidst the screams of the concubine beside him, he could only watch helplessly as his chest was pierced by the long sword. His eyes were wider than copper bells, and blood gushed from the wound. He seemed unable to believe that he was about to be killed just like that.

Two streaks of light suddenly broke through the window and attacked from behind Zhou Yin. He remained motionless as the Canghe Sword, Ziwei Sword, and Qisha Sword flew out from his body, automatically positioning themselves in midair to form a sword formation, blocking the ferocious incoming attack.

Shi Yan and Li Zhushu never imagined that after being drawn away for just a moment, such a drastic change would occur upon their return. Judging from Jiang Hui's condition, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance he couldn't be saved.

"Who are you?!"

"It's you!"

The two of them were both shocked and enraged, but their words differed.

Shi Yan sneered, "Brother Qin is quite bold. Not only did you raid the execution grounds, but you even came to kill someone!"

With Li Zhushu by his side, he naturally no longer feared Zhou Yin.

Just now, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator had suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Jiang residence, causing the two of them to go investigate. In the entire continent, let alone late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, even mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators were few and far between.

Shi Yan and Li Zhushu were naturally greatly shocked. That late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was quite approachable and even asked them for directions. The few of them exchanged pleasantries, and the two of them returned, only to witness the scene before their eyes.

Li Zhushu said coldly, "What's the point of arguing with him? Just kill him!"

Before his words fell, the Guangxing Blade had already transformed into a streak of yellow light, aiming straight for the other party's face.

Shi Yan was not far behind. The Frost Silver Sword met the three-sword formation head-on, charging forward with sword light as loud as thunder and lightning.

Zhou Yin pulled out the Lingyin Sword from Jiang Hui's body and positioned it vertically in midair towards the south. Under the spell, the four swords emitted a clear radiance, forming the Thousand Swords Illusion Formation. Dense clouds without rain, seamless as heavenly robes, he actually relied on this to single-handedly confront two Core Formation cultivators without falling behind in the slightest.

Li Zhushu and Shi Yan were both shocked and enraged. They never imagined that even with their combined efforts, they were still unable to deal with a single Core Formation cultivator. They couldn't help but intensify their attacks. The Guangxing Blade and Frost Silver Sword were imbued with ample spiritual power, attempting to forcefully break through the illusory images of the Thousand Swords Formation.

In the end, Li Zhushu's cultivation was still a notch higher. The speed and momentum of his blade light shattered most of the sword formation's illusions, chopping down towards Zhou Yin's head, while Shi Yan's Frost Silver Sword clashed with the Canghe Sword, the two engaging in a fierce duel.

With the Thousand Swords Illusion Formation largely broken, Zhou Yin naturally wouldn't wait to be slaughtered. The Heaven Washing Brush in his hand drew a circle in midair, generating an endless momentum. Countless water rings spawned, layer upon layer, binding the blade light.

Li Zhushu was shocked beyond belief when he realized that Zhou Yin had already comprehended the Nascent Soul realm. The cultivator before him was only at the mid-stage of the Core Formation, a level lower than him, yet he maneuvered with ease and showed no signs of defeat.

"Who are you exactly?" He asked sternly.

Zhou Yin glanced at him and said lightly, "Qin Wuji."

Zhou Chen stood outside the Jiang Mansion, tilting his head to listen to the commotion inside, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. He was a graceful and extraordinary gentleman.

When Elder Chang Sanyou of the Wanshan Sect received the distress call from his junior and rushed over, this was the scene he saw.

It was actually a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!

Chang Sanyou's pupils constricted, suddenly realizing that this was a grave situation. He suppressed the urge to go in and check, respectfully saying, "May I know the senior's name, and why you are here?"

Chang Sanyou hadn't been so humble in many years. With his cultivation and status, even the Shangxuan and Tianyan Sects had to give him some face. But he never expected that such a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator had emerged in the Taichu Continent, one he had never seen before!

Zhou Chen smiled slightly, "Your two juniors are fighting my wife inside, naturally I can't let you disturb them."

Zhou Yin wanted to use Shi Yan and Li Zhushu to verify his newly advanced core's realm and Thousand Sword Illusion Formation. Zhou Chen naturally couldn't let Chang Sanyou go in and cause trouble. If Shi Yan and the other still lost in a two-on-one fight, there would be nothing to say. Moreover, the Wanshan Sect had a hand in the Zhou family's village incident back then, so they couldn't be called innocent at all.

Chang Sanyou cupped his hands, "My two juniors are young and impetuous. If they have offended you, I apologize on their behalf. Please be lenient, Senior. The Wanshan Sect will be deeply grateful!"

Zhou Chen shook his head, still with that kind smile, "I have everything I need, the little things you have are not even worth a glance to me."

Chang Sanyou's heart sank, knowing that today's matter could not be resolved peacefully.

He really wanted to turn and leave, but Zhou Chen's gaze was like a pressure, tightly locking all positions around him, making Chang Sanyou feel trapped in a net; he could only desperately seek a way to break free.

Just then, a sword cry came from inside. Zhou Chen turned his head to look, seeming to be distracted. Chang Sanyou's heart leaped with joy. His body moved with his intention, leaping towards Zhou Chen!

This was the most regretful decision of his life, and also his last decision. He originally thought that the early and late stages of Nascent Soul were all Nascent Soul cultivators, and even if there was a gap, it wouldn't be too big.

But he was utterly wrong, and paid for this mistake with his life. In the moment he closed his eyes, he heard Zhou Chen's voice, seemingly near yet far, "Ah Yin, you're not done over there yet?"

Zhou Yin was fighting two against one, with one having higher cultivation than him. Naturally it took more time than Zhou Chen, and when he came out, his arm and internal organs were injured quite badly.

Zhou Chen's heart ached, "Why not let me go kill them for you, why put yourself through this?"

Zhou Yin said, "I need to practice regularly to know my own level."

Zhou Chen said, "Okay, now that you've slain your enemies and verified your cultivation, you should remember the thing you promised me, right?"

Zhou Yin turned to look at him, his dark and bright eyes filled with questions.

Zhou Chen couldn't help but bite his lips, "Follow me to the North Sea Ruins to heal."
