Chapter 86 Fate...
"Fate..."
Qin Fang murmured to himself.
An extremely unsettling illusion seemed to be constantly circling around his body.
The situation was similar in the Crimson Forbidden Land that day, although there were some twists and turns along the way. But in the end, Nangong Wan inexplicably obtained the red sac and then had those things happen with Qin Fang.
Originally, Qin Fang thought this was just an isolated case.
Unexpectedly, a similar scene unfolded many years later.
Qi Yunxiao is dead!
Originally, in the original timeline, Han Li had warned Xin Ruyin after they made a deal.
However, due to a shortage of a certain material needed for studying the formation, it was necessary to make a trip to the nearby market. Upon learning of this, Qi Yunxiao was naturally willing to do anything for his beloved.
Then, in the market, he was questioned by a Qi Refining stage cultivator from the Fu family. Qi Yunxiao was not very cunning and his experience was also quite ordinary! The other party only asked a few questions, but Qi Yunxiao panicked and his true colors were seen through.
Finally, thanks to the power of the magical artifact, he managed to escape from the market back to his residence... and was immediately blocked at the door by the Foundation Establishment stage of the Fu family.
After a long siege, not only did they fail to break through the formation, but Qi Yunxiao's formation also killed more than a dozen Fu family cultivators, finally alarming the Fu family's Core Formation stage ancestor.
In the end, Qi Yunxiao, who had temporarily trapped the Fu family's Core Formation cultivator using the formation, managed to escape to Xin Ruyin's place, but he died shortly after arriving due to his severe injuries.
And in this life...
Qi Yunxiao, however, took the matter much more seriously because of Qin Fang's repeated warnings.
If everything goes smoothly, Qi Yunxiao and Xin Ruyin have no intention of leaving the house unless it interferes with the repair of Qin Fang's formation.
Qi Yunxiao stayed on the mountain for over a month, enjoying the company of his beloved and completely forgetting about leaving.
until……
Qi Yunxiao's loyal servant transmitted a message!
It seems that a cultivator appeared near his residence to investigate; it was none other than the famous cultivator from the Fu family.
The servant's intention was to remind his young master and Xin Ruyin to be careful, but Qi Yunxiao was inexperienced and left the small mountain where Xin Ruyin lived without consulting anyone.
By the time Xin Ruyin realized it, the other party had already been gone for several hours.
Qi Yunxiao left a message saying he needed to return home to avoid revealing his whereabouts and suffering heavy losses.
Qi Yunxiao didn't care about spirit stones or materials, but he had a lot of materials at home that he had collected specifically for his sweetheart. It was for these things that he risked returning home.
But unexpectedly...
Fate is so strange. On the way back, Qi Yunxiao was stopped and questioned. Already flustered, he naturally gave himself away quickly!
Then, they fought their way out and returned home...
Once again, the Fu family's Foundation Establishment stage cultivators blocked the door, and the power of the formation killed or injured more than a dozen members of the Fu family.
The eventual attack alerted the Fu family's Core Formation stage cultivators, who launched a fierce assault for half a day before finally breaking Xin Ruyin's modified formation.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qi Yunxiao decisively activated another, more powerful illusion array, trapping the Core Formation cultivator for a short while, and then made his escape.
While the Core Formation cultivator is trapped, there are still quite a few other Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators in the Fu family.
Even though he managed to break through the encirclement with great difficulty by relying on this magical artifact and formation, he suffered extremely serious injuries as a result. He died as soon as he reached the small mountain where Xin Ruyin lived.
"Different paths, same destination..."
"What exactly is this so-called destiny?"
Qin Fang's voice was so low that even Xin Ruyin, who was standing right next to him, couldn't hear much of it.
Seeing Qin Fang's dejected appearance, Xin Ruyin assumed that he was upset about Qi Yunxiao's death...
In an instant, her goodwill towards this "Senior Qin," whom she had only met twice, increased several times over, and she regarded him as someone she could entrust with her life.
"Senior Qin..."
"This thing!"
Reminded by Xin Ruyin, Qin Fang gradually regained his composure.
Now we can see the other person's movements clearly...
"What does this mean?"
Qin Fang frowned.
Three jade boxes were placed in front of him.
"These two boxes contain my husband's 'Cloudy Insights' and some of his collection of weapon-refining classics."
"It contains a large number of weapon-refining techniques, which will surely be helpful to you in the future..."
"As for the other one, it's my understanding of formations! And a large number of books on formations..."
"And this one..."
"It's the 'Mysterious Peony Transformation Infant Technique' that I promised to give to you, senior!"
"Let's hand it all over to our senior now!"
Xin Ruyin spoke.
"Miss Xin..."
Qin Fang's expression changed, and he wanted to say something, but Xin Ruyin spoke first.
"Senior~"
Xin Ruyin gave a bitter smile.
"The reason Brother Yunxiao died at the hands of the Fu family was all because of me!"
"If I do not avenge him, how can I reunite with my husband in the afterlife?"
"My cultivation is low and I don't know any senior experts. You are the only person I think has a chance to avenge Brother Qi."
"I know this is asking the impossible... but I only need a promise from you, senior!"
"If you ever manage to advance to the Core Formation stage, I hope that, for the sake of our past relationship, you will exterminate the entire Fu family for my wife and me! Make them disappear completely from the Yuanwu Kingdom..."
Xin Ruyin's voice, by this point, was already as cold as solid ice.
"Miss Xin!"
"Didn't you ever think about avenging this blood feud?!"
Qin Fang suddenly spoke.
"Well……"
Xin Ruyin was taken aback.
"What I said before about being able to help you resolve the issue of the Dragon Roar Body within you was not just empty talk!"
"A 50% chance of success is already an understatement."
"How about I try to clear away some of the stubborn ailments in your body first, and then you can make a decision?"
Qin Fang spoke again.
"Of course, I didn't mean to disbelieve your words, senior..."
"But now that Brother Qi is dead, I have long since given up any thought of living on."
Xin Ruyin hesitated.
"Miss Xin~"
"It's best not to place your hopes on me. I can grant your request, though! Once my cultivation is sufficient, wiping out the Fu family will be a piece of cake."
"But what if I never acquire this ability in my entire life? Or... what if I perish on the path of immortality before that happens?"
"so……"
"I'll help you resolve the problem of the Dragon Roar Body within you first. If that fails... then I'll agree to your request! Once I have enough confidence to exterminate the entire Fu family, I will definitely accomplish this."
"how?"
Qin Fang said to Xin Ruyin.
He didn't really care whether Qi Yunxiao lived or died. The reason he lost his composure earlier was simply because that inexplicable sense of 'fate' made him very unhappy.
But Xin Ruyin is different... Her talent in array formations is probably unmatched in the human realm!
The fact that Qi Yunxiao was able to trap the Fu family's Core Formation cultivator for a short time using the formation improved by Xin Ruyin is an extremely heaven-defying feat.
You should know that... neither Qi Yunxiao nor Xin Ruyin are cultivators at the Qi Refining stage.
This is simply a miracle!
Therefore, Qin Fang couldn't bear to see such a gifted person perish like this...
Moreover, the "Dragon's Roar Body" might also be of great benefit to him, and Qin Fang was unwilling to let it go.
"good……"
"Then we will do as you say, senior."
After Xin Ruyin finished speaking, her face turned deathly pale, and she looked like she was about to collapse.
"Your body can't hold on much longer!"
"Then let's cast the 'forbidden spell' as soon as possible!"
Upon seeing this, Qin Fang immediately made a decision.
Even after Xin Ruyin's death, he could still obtain the "Dragon's Roar Body," with a 100% probability of doing so.
But the benefits of Xin Ruyin living for him should be far greater than those of her dying!
