Chapter 35: Shangguan Qingyun’s Trouble, Fourth Disciple!

Vast amounts of spiritual energy surged toward Jiang Yiming.

Five or six Core Formation Realm experts were attacking at the same time. Their complicated moves were dazzling.

“Run!” Shangguan Qingyun, who was lying on the ground, endured the pain and hurriedly shouted.

He didn’t know Jiang Yiming’s true strength, but with so many Core Formation Realm experts attacking at the same time, even a Nascent Soul Realm expert would have to escape.

Those Core Formation Realm experts were thinking the same thing, so they used their most vicious attacks.

Since Jiang Yiming was able to silently hide at the side and not be discovered by them, he was at least at the Core Formation Realm or above.

They weren’t blindly arrogant people, and they were still very cautious when they should be.

Facing the series of powerful attacks, Jiang Yiming only said with a chuckle, “Trying to overpower me by using more men? Let’s see if you have the ability to do so.”

“You’re still stubborn even when death is at hand, you…” One of the men was saying as such, but he suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

In the pursuers their eyes, they could see a huge gray finger slowly tapping forward.

In an instant, they all felt an extremely desolate aura.

It was the kind of desolation where all life had been annihilated.

The aura instantly engulfed them, causing them to freeze.

In the next moment, before they could react, the huge finger was already tapping on their bodies.

In an instant, an endless gale came like a monstrous wave.

The trees within a radius of several hundred meters were all cut in half.

Under the moonlight, the smoke and dust that filled the sky turned the forest into a desolate desert.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Following that, a few violent sounds of collisions were heard.

After the dust settled, Shangguan Qingyun saw an incomparably shocking scene.

He saw that the bodies of the Core Formation Realm pursuers were lying limp on the ground disorderly like broken branches.

They weren’t moving and none was emitting an aura.

Shangguan Qingyun knew that they were probably dead.

When the storm had erupted just now, even he could feel the aura of death.

One could imagine the despair the people who faced this attack would feel!

“How is it? You’re not dead yet, right?” Jiang Yiming’s smiling voice sounded in his ear, and Shangguan Qingyun came back to his senses.

He looked at Jiang Yiming with a complex expression of shock and curiosity.

He suppressed his emotions and said, “You are very powerful. Someone like you shouldn’t be from Ancient Moon City.”

“I am indeed not from Ancient Moon City. I am just a passer-by. I came down the mountain just to take in a good disciple,” Jiang Yiming smiled.

The shock in Shangguan Qingyun’s eyes did not escape his eyes, so he said, “Didn’t you witness my strength in the restaurant today? Why are you still so surprised?”

“That’s different. I still didn’t think that you could kill them all in one move.”

“Well, you can be as powerful as me as long as you’re willing.”

“As long as I’m willing to take you as my Master?”

Jiang Yiming smiled but didn’t say anything.

Shangguan Qingyun laughed as if he was mocking himself and said slowly, “I was originally the son of the first wife of a prestigious second rank force in the Canglan Region. However, I was framed and my meridians were broken, so I will be unable to cultivate for the rest of my life. In a cultivation family where strength is paramount, being unable to cultivate is such a terrifying reality. Therefore, I was abandoned by my family without any hesitation. I was even accused of betraying my family.”

He sighed bitterly and then looked at Jiang Yiming and said, “Now you’ve seen it for yourself. They won’t let me go, and they won’t let those who are close to me go either. They have a powerful background, powerful strength, and a resolute determination to kill. It’s definitely a disaster to provoke them. Even so, do you still want to take me as your disciple?”

“Why not?” Jiang Yiming didn’t answer directly but asked a question in return.

Shangguan Qingyun was stunned for a moment and quickly said, “But my meridians are all broken, so I can’t cultivate.”

“I’ve said it before, maybe I can cure you. If I can’t, I don’t mind it either.”

Looking at Jiang Yiming’s indifferent expression, Shangguan Qingyun was completely silent.

He didn’t know why Jiang Yiming was so stubborn to take him in as a disciple because to himself, he was just a burden and a jinx.

No one would offend a second rank force for him unless that person was a madman!

But Jiang Yiming didn’t look like a madman.

However, he had no choice now. He wanted to die, but he couldn’t.

That was because he still had a younger sister who was in the family. If he died, those people would definitely kill his younger sister too.

If he wanted to save his younger sister, he had to find a backer and become stronger!

For Jiang Yiming to be so calm, the power behind him was probably not inferior to a second rank force!

Thinking of this, Shangguang Qingyun’s mood suddenly brightened.

He hurriedly knelt properly on the ground, and then seriously kowtowed three times to Jiang Yiming, saying respectfully, “Master, please accept Qingyun’s bow!”

When Jiang Yiming saw that Shangguan Qingyun was finally willing to acknowledge him as his Master, he was delighted. He hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile, “Good. From today onwards, you are my disciple. You have two senior brothers and one senior sister. I will introduce you to each other when we return to the sect.”

Shangguan Qingyun nodded and did not say anything else.

At this moment, the system’s notification sounded in Jiang Yiming’s mind.

[Ding!]

[Notification]: Main mission “recruit a new disciple” completed.

[Notification]: The mission reward, the Heaven-turning Technique, has been placed in your backpack, please check to see you have received it.

[Notification]: Due to the Celestial King’s Privilege, the Heaven-turning Technique has been upgraded to the Youth Heaven-turning Technique!

The Youth Heaven-turning Technique was a top-secret technique in medicine.

The technique uses spiritual energy as needles. When the needles are placed on the major acupoints in the body, they can open up the meridians and remodel the body.

When the technique is cultivated to the great-success level, one can even reconnect broken meridians. It has the miraculous effect of reviving the dead!

A series of introductions continuously entered Jiang Yiming’s mind, directly stunning him.

The Youth Heaven-turning Technique was perfectly suitable to heal Shangguan Qingyun.

Although it had to wait till he cultivated the technique to the great-success level, he believed that the day would not be far away!

“When the time came, Shangguan Qingyun would probably be very excited when presented with such a surprise,” Jiang Yiming laughed to himself as he looked at Qingyun.
