Chapter 4: Good Day

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Today was a good day.

Every time he went down the mountain, Bai Qiuran felt much more relaxed.

Although he had long obtained a transcendent body, he still felt somewhat restrained in the Green Destiny Sword Sect. Now that he had left the sect and was far from the sect, Bai Qiuran could finally be himself and not the Uncle-Grandmaster of the Green Destiny Sword Sect.

There were ten countries in the Gu Continent, and the country under the Green Destiny Mountain was the Profound Heaven Country. Coincidentally, the pill-refinement materials Bai Qiuran was looking for this time should be able to be found in the territory of the Profound Heaven Country.

After descending from the Green Destiny Mountain, Bai Qiuran circled around the Hanging Sword Town and then walked towards the area that was truly controlled by the Imperial Family of the Profound Heaven Country. Although he could not ride the wind with the sword, Bai Qiuran could still use the peerless true energy in his body and the super light body cultivation technique to achieve the same effect as flying. However, he did not like that.

After 3,000 years, Bai Qiuran had long lost the desire to search for materials and complete the mission in a rush. This time, when he left the mountain, he not only treated it as a trip to gather materials, but also as a sightseeing trip.

Therefore, he did not rely on his cultivation to quickly travel. Instead, he went to the town closest to Hanging Sword Town at the foot of the Green Destiny Mountain and paid some money for a horse. Then, he leisurely walked along the official road of the Profound Heaven Country.

However, not long after, Bai Qiuran was blocked by a group of unfriendly men.

“Excuse me…”

Facing this group of burly men whose strength was about the mid-stage Body Tempering realm and the strongest was at the late-stage Body Tempering realm, he smiled gently and asked, “Everyone, what’s the matter?”

“Matter?”

A few burly men surrounded him. The leader revealed the large saber with a bronze ring in his hand and licked his tongue greedily.

“That’s right. Our brothers saw that Young Master’s bearing was extraordinary and wanted to borrow some money.”

“Are you trying to rob me?”

“Everyone, if I remember correctly, this is the official road of the Profound Heaven Country.” Bai Qiuran chuckled and said.

“So what if it’s the official road?”

“Now that the Profound Heaven Emperor is in a critical condition, the soldiers stationed on this official road have long been transferred away. If you don’t give us money, even the heavens won’t be able to save you today!” Those bandits blocking the way laughed and said.

Was the situation in the Profound Heaven Country already so serious?

Looking at the surrounding bandits laughing, Bai Qiuran silently thought to herself.

He remembered that when he came down from the mountain hundreds of years ago, the Profound Heaven Country was still a country where singing and dancing were popular and the people lived a happy life.

Originally, the nearby land and areas were all protected by the Green Destiny Sword Sect. There were no ignorant cultivation sects that would invade the territory of the Green Destiny Sword Sect.

Generally speaking, the demons and ghosts bred locally would also be dealt with by the disciples of the Green Destiny Sword Sect who came down the mountain to travel. Therefore, there were usually only two reasons why the ten countries of the Gu Continent were in chaos.

It was either the war between the ten countries or the chaos caused by the conflict between the higher-ups in the country.

Generally speaking, the Green Destiny Sword Sect did not care about such matters. After all, as a cultivation sect, the Green Destiny Sword Sect was still determined to seek the Dao and ascend instead of obtaining power in the mortal world. No matter how chaotic the interior of the Gu Continent was, or how the power holders changed, it was not important to the Green Destiny Sword Sect. It was best for them to not care about anything.

Cultivators would not involve themselves with the struggles of mortal factions. This was the teaching Daoist Green Destiny had given Bai Qiuran and the others back then.

However, it would be different if they encountered bandits on the way. It was their business to fight for power in the Profound Heaven Country. However, now that these bandits had come here, they would cause trouble for every innocent citizen who passed by on this road. When they encountered such people, the disciples of Green Destiny had always gotten rid of all evil.

Thinking of this, Bai Qiuran still maintained a smile on his face. His right hand quietly held the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his thumb gently pushed out a sword edge.

The autumn water reflected a cold light. Seeing Bai Qiuran’s movements, the bandits sensed his intention to resist and also raised the weapons in their hands.

However, at this moment, a soft shout suddenly sounded from behind this group of people.

“Stop right now!”

A black shadow flew over from behind and kicked the bandit closest to him away before landing on the ground.

The bandits scattered in fear, each vigilant of Bai Qiuran and the person who had arrived. Bai Qiuran looked at the person.

The person who came was a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old. He had fair skin and a handsome face. He had black hair and had combed it to the back of his head. He also had on a white square scarf. He was wearing a white chivalrous robe embroidered with flowing clouds and held a three-foot-long sword in his hand. He looked like a noble child from a mortal family.

At this moment, this fair-faced young man was holding his sword in front of him righteously and reprimanding the bandits,

“In broad daylight, you actually dare to stop and rob on the official road. You really don’t care about the laws of the Profound Heaven Country!”

“The laws?”

The bandits looked at each other. Then, the bandit in the lead laughed and said, “To hell with the laws. Our brothers are about to die. Who still cares about those useless laws? In this day and age, it’s more satisfying to fill your stomach! Brothers, attack together. This one is also a fat sheep!”

“Boss, you have to show mercy with your saber later.”

A bandit licked his lips.

“The brothers haven’t vented their anger for a few days. This boy is handsome. It just so happens…”

“Damn you!”

The bandit leader kicked him.

“You’re even lusting after men now? Can’t you wait until I bring you to the brothel after snatching the money? Hmm?”

“But we’re wanted!”

“There are no soldiers on the official road. However, it will be different in the city. We’ll be killed if we go in.” That bandit said aggrievedly.

The bandit leader thought for a moment and felt that this made sense.

Hence, his expression relaxed as he looked at Bai Qiuran and said, “Alright, take a closer look. This white-haired ghost seems to be quite good-looking. We’ll capture them and bring them both back.”

Hearing the conversation of these bandits, the young master on the other side was so angry that his face turned red. Although Bai Qiuran was still smiling, there was a hint of danger in his smile.

After 3,000 years of cultivation, although his temper was good, it did not mean that he would not be angry no matter what happened.

“Shameless bandit!”

However, the young master on the other side seemed to be even more emotional than him. Seeing that these bandits were prepared to attack, he immediately pulled out his long sword and attacked first.

A powerful and dignified true energy emitted from his body. The blade of this young master glowed with a faint golden light. Then, he waved his hand at these bandits and a golden sword aura shot out, slashing off the head of the bandit who had just made the suggestion.

Oh, so he was a fellow cultivator of the Qi Refinement realm.

Bai Qiuran thought to himself.

Although one would officially be stepping onto the path of immortal cultivation after reaching the Qi Refinement realm, it did not mean that there were no Qi Refinement realm cultivators in the mortal world. Those large families, the royal family, and the large martial arts sects also had a few people who could advance to the Qi Refinement realm.

At this realm, they could extract the true energy in their bodies and attack their opponents through their bodies or form a layer of defense on the surface of their bodies. Their strength was more than ten times that of the peak of the Body Tempering realm.

These were true energy Refinement realm experts. A Qi Refinement realm expert like Bai Qiuran who could split mountains and seas with a mouthful of true energy was already a monster and a different breed.

Blood splattered as the headless corpse fell to the ground. Seeing this golden sword aura, the expressions of these bandits changed drastically.

“True energy? It’s a martial grandmaster!”

The leader of the bandits shouted as he ran into the forest at the side without looking back.

“Run!”

The few bandits cried and threw away their weapons before running to the forest at the side. As for the young master, he stood rooted to the ground and looked at them with a cold expression. However, he did not plan to continue attacking, as if he was a cat or dog that threatened other creatures that had barged into his territory. He only wanted to chase away the bandits and did not plan to kill them all.

However, although he did not plan to kill them all, Bai Qiuran did.

Therefore, just as that noble young master was in a daze, a white rainbow suddenly streaked across. In a semicircle dozens of meters from the mountain path to the forest, a sword mark that was at the same level appeared on all the trees.

A crashing sound sounded. The trees of different thicknesses broke into two according to the sword mark and fell in the same direction.

The bandits were also slashed in half from the waist.
