The Imperial Martial Pill Venerable

Chapter 467: Chapter 466: What Does It Have to Do with Me?

Qin Ya’s brow furrowed slightly. He could sense that Ximen Yu was the strongest among the disciples from the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect. But for some reason, his tone was odd and derisive, as if he were deliberately targeting Nanle.

The Elder from the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect, Lin Tianba, said with some surprise, "It seems this little brother is an old acquaintance of Nanle. What a coincidence."

"Yes, a coincidence," Xu Zhenhong said, somewhat at a loss for words.

Suddenly, as if he’d thought of something, he turned to Yuee Hongyi. "Elder Yuee, Elder Qin has been searching for the location of your Lingxiao Palace, as if looking for someone. Don’t tell me he knows someone from your Lingxiao Palace, too?"

Beside him, Yuee Hongyi frowned slightly, a thoughtful look on her face. She asked Xu Zhenhong, "Old ghost, what is this young man’s name?"

"Qin Ya?"

"Qin Ya... Qin Ya!"

Yuee Hongyi muttered the name twice, then her eyes flew open in shock. "His name is Qin Ya. From their conversation, it sounds like he’s from the Yunxiao Empire. And just now, that Nanle boy mentioned the name Ningshuang... Could he be the one Ningshuang has been waiting for? Damn it! If I had known he was such a prime talent, I would have dragged him back with me back then, even if I had to push through my injuries!"

At that moment, she was filled with regret.

Xu Zhenhong, who was beside her, was puzzled. After a few questions, he was completely astounded. ’How could there be such a coincidence in this world!’

The Four Great Hidden Sects were gathered.

He had old friends in Divine Sword Mountain, someone he had saved in the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect, and a whole group of close relations in Lingxiao Palace. His networking skills were off the charts!

And it seemed that every single one of these people close to him was extraordinarily talented—highly valued prodigies within their respective Sects, destined to become Kings in their own right. Thinking of this, Xu Zhenhong couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. "Elder Qin, you truly are an enigma. Always so full of surprises."

Yuee Hongyi, Helian Lie, and Lin Tianba were also filled with amazement. They felt this young man was simply uncanny; how could he run into so many coincidences?

"I’ve said it before, it was merely a small effort that day."

"Besides, Nanle has already thanked me. There’s no need for anyone else to do it on his behalf."

Qin Ya said indifferently. Hearing this, Ximen Yu chuckled softly. "No, no. Back then, little Junior Brother Nanle was nothing but a lowly human punching bag. If you hadn’t saved him, he would have died long ago. How could he have become the renowned prodigy of the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect he is today? I’m thanking you on behalf of the Sect."

’A lowly human punching bag?’

Hearing this, Qin Ya’s eyebrows lifted slightly. He could also see the other Sect disciples behind Ximen Yu revealing looks of contempt and disdain.

’It seems Nanle’s life here isn’t as peaceful as I thought.’

"Ximen Yu, what is the meaning of this?"

At that moment, the young woman who had been standing by Nanle’s side suddenly snorted, glaring at Ximen Yu with hostility. "If you ask me, *you’re* the lowly one."

Ximen Yu’s expression instantly turned ugly, a trace of jealousy showing in his eyes. "Lingxi, why are you protecting him like this? What’s so great about him? Besides, aren’t human punching bags lowly? Back when I was in my family, I can’t even count how many of them I killed."

Lingxi’s face flushed red with anger. "That was in the past! The Nanle of today is different! He is a prodigy of our Cloud Sea Immortal Sect! And so what if he was a human punching bag? Are they not human? In my opinion, you’re all worse than a human punching bag!"

The faces of Ximen Yu and his group darkened, their hearts filled with extreme resentment.

High above, the Elders who had been observing the youngsters chuckled. Xu Zhenhong said to Lin Tianba, "It seems the people of your Cloud Sea Immortal Sect aren’t very united."

Lin Tianba laughed without a care. "Ha! Most of the disciples in my Cloud Sea Immortal Sect are selected from countless affiliated Noble Families. These youngsters are still green, so they naturally carry some of that noble arrogance and look down on people from backgrounds like Nanle’s. I’ve made a fool of myself before you all."

"That’s not the only reason, is it? That Ximen Yu clearly likes the little girl named Lingxi and can’t stand seeing her treat Nanle so well," Yuee Hongyi said.

Xu Zhenhong gave a meaningful smile. "Tsk, tsk. Elder Yuee sees things so clearly. Someone with experience is truly different."

"Old ghost, be careful you don’t get burned!"

A cold glint flashed in Yuee Hongyi’s eyes as streams of Flame erupted from her.

"Elder Yuee, please calm your anger. I misspoke."

Xu Zhenhong smiled faintly, waved his hand, and said no more.

Down below, upon hearing Ximen Yu’s words, Qin Ya’s brows twitched, and a cold light flickered in his eyes. From the moment he realized that Nanle still remembered him as his benefactor after so long, he had considered him a friend.

Now that his friend was being mocked like this, how could he remain indifferent?

Not far from Qin Ya, Leng Qiushan and the others felt a shiver run down their spines. It was as if they were once again seeing that figure who had fought against hundreds of Celestial Humans in the Golden Summit Hall, his might unparalleled.

They couldn’t help but look at Ximen Yu with a hint of pity.

’Sigh, of all the people to provoke, he had to go and provoke a killer star like Brother Qin.’

"You all... are really starting to piss me off."

Just as Ximen Yu and his group’s faces were turning sour, Qin Ya’s indifferent words drifted over, reaching everyone’s ears clearly. It was like pouring oil on a fire, enraging Ximen Yu even further. His tone laced with coldness, he said, "This is a matter of my Cloud Sea Immortal Sect. What does it have to do with an outsider like you? Shut your mouth."

’It’s over. He’s really a goner now,’ Leng Qiushan and the others thought, the pity in their eyes growing even stronger.

"What does it have to do with me?"

"Heh. Nanle is my friend. You tell me what it has to do with me!"

A cold glint flashed in Qin Ya’s eyes. He took a step forward, and in an instant, a terrifying killing intent, one that seemed capable of slaughtering gods and annihilating demons, erupted from him. It surged toward Ximen Yu like a tidal wave. In that moment, everyone’s expression changed!

’Just how much slaughter would it take to forge such a killing intent!’

A look of dread crossed Lingxi’s eyes. She turned to Nanle and said, "Hey, blockhead, your... your benefactor seemed so gentle and scholarly, but he can become this terrifying? That killing intent... how many people must he have killed?"

Nanle’s face was full of admiration as he said, "Brother Qin has always been decisive and ruthless. You have to understand, back when he was only in the Earth Element Realm, he mobilized an assassin organization and slaughtered more than half of a family that was protected by an Extraordinary. Right, that was right around the time you suddenly took me away."

"Tsk, tsk. Truly terrifying."

A family protected by an Extraordinary—such a family could be wiped out with a flip of the hand by the current Nanle or Lingxi. But one had to remember, back then, Qin Ya was merely a Martial Artist in the Earth Element Realm. For him, it was no different from an egg smashing against a rock.

"Qin Ya, you truly surprise me."

"I thought I had already caught up to you, but it seems I’m still a ways off."

"You just wait. Just wait. I will defeat you one day."

Nearby, Li Peiyi clutched her longsword, an excited glint in her eyes. This reminded the other Divine Sword Mountain disciples of that period of constant challenges, and they couldn’t help but shiver in unison.
