Chapter 127 Wild Gold Awakening Part 1

Qin Xiao replied without any fear, "Why should I be afraid?"

"Don't you know that everyone in Soul Land fears me? I'm someone who kills without batting an eye. Just because I brought you back from the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy doesn't mean I won't kill you."

Poison Not Dead actually showed a murderous intent in his eyes as he spoke.

A powerful aura set off gusts of cold wind directly in the forest.

It made the already frigid mountain forest's temperature drop another notch.

Some of the trees even had a layer of white frost forming on them.

Little did he know, his attempt at intimidation was met with mockery within Qin Xiao's Spirit Space.

The Skydream Ice Silkworm watched the spectacle with amusement, "Hehe, is this pathetic pressure all he's got to show off?"

"Indeed, it's overestimating oneself. There shouldn't be anyone in the entire Soul Land who could pose any pressure to our lord."

Ice Emperor also didn't take the chance to criticize Skydream Ice Silkworm for once.

'Ice ice...' Skydream Ice Silkworm felt an absurd sense of touched emotion inside.

However, Ice Emperor couldn't be bothered with Skydream Ice Silkworm's lowly antics and, frowning, said, "Skydream, don't you feel a sense of familiarity...?"

"Are you talking about that pitiable fellow from the Divine Seal Altar?" asked Skydream.

Ice Emperor nodded, "Yes, her..."

Contemplatively, Skydream Ice Silkworm said, "Now that you mention it, there is something familiar, but I can't quite remember who it is..."

In the outside world.

Under Poison Not Dead's 'powerful' pressure, Qin Xiao was like a rock in the sea, completely unmoved and unaffected.

"Eh, this kid... has got something."

Poison Not Dead's pupils constricted slightly, his mind trembled tremendously.

It should be noted that he had been intent on giving Qin Xiao a bit of intimidation. Even a Soul Sage would kneel under his murderous intent.

But Qin Xiao, only a little more than a level forty Soul Ancestor, didn't show any sign of struggle?

Interesting, I might have underestimated you... Poison Not Dead thought to increase the pressure on Qin Xiao further.

But, in the next moment, Jinpeng's voice echoed in Poison Not Dead's mind.

"Sect Master, that's enough. Don't actually harm the kid, or you will regret it to death."

Poison Not Dead paused at these words, holding back the impulse to continue pressuring Qin Xiao.

"What's going on? Explain clearly."

"This kid's Martial Soul has undergone a Second Awakening, and I'm guessing it's very likely to be a Gold-level Second Awakening..."

"What? Are you serious?"

Surprise was evident in Poison Not Dead's voice.

Gold-level Awakenings were rare even within the entire Body Sect.

Especially in this generation, including the most outstanding disciple, Long Aotian, who only had a Silver-level Second Awakening.

Moreover, Poison Not Dead had already planned to cultivate Long Aotian as the future heir of the Body Sect.

But now, in front of him, a wild one with a Gold-level Second Awakening Martial Soul had appeared. How could he not be excited?

"Old Jin, you better not be joking. You have to be responsible for what you say."

"Do you think I would joke about something like this?" Jinpeng snorted coldly without any good humor, "This kid's Martial Soul is definitely not an ordinary eye; it must have brain-related attributes as well... And he doesn't have just two eyes, but three. The divine light that burst from the third eye actually managed to cut my wrist.

You should know that I was in my Martial Soul-activated state at the time. Though the wound was very small, a little later and it would have healed, but it still made me bleed, something a lot of people can't do."

"Hiss, that's so powerful!" Poison Not Dead gasped sharply.

Jinpeng's resilience was rare in the world, and the fact that Qin Xiao could breach his defenses was indeed astonishing.

"All right, stop hissing, you're not a snake. Now that you know he's a treasure, better stop while you're ahead. It would be trouble if your pressure actually damaged his foundation. Then you'd cry without finding a tune."

"Right, right, right."

Poison Not Dead immediately withdrew his murderous intent after the reminder, and everyone around suddenly felt lighter as the pressure greatly diminished.

Poison Not Dead lightly coughed and looked at Qin Xiao with eyes full of admiration, "Not bad at all. I now congratulate you; you have successfully passed my test, and I believe you are qualified to become a part of our Body Sect."

He stretched out his hand, "Child, welcome home."

Jinpeng was somewhat speechless upon seeing this. As expected, shamelessness really is unrivaled in this world.

I lobbied for so long and didn't get a nod of agreement from Qin Xiao, and you think you can just easily win over that kid?

He crossed his arms and slightly curled the corners of his mouth, looking like he was ready to enjoy the show.

Sure enough.

Qin Xiao's actions did not disappoint him.

"Boring."

He said just that and then sat down under the root of a tree, not even glancing at Poison Not Dead.

Ah, this.

Poison Not Dead had a look of astonishment on his face.

He hadn't expected his good intentions to be rejected so easily?

He subconsciously looked at the people around him.

It was then that one after another, the black-clothed powerhouses of the Body Sect turned their gazes everywhere else, not even looking at Poison Not Dead.

Fine, very good, all of you. When I get back to the sect, I'll make sure you are all loaded with tasks... Poison Not Dead thought vindictively while seeking help with his eyes from Jinpeng.

In response... Jinpeng could only helplessly spread his hands and telepathically said, "This kid was brought here by some methods I used, so it's normal for him to have some resentment..."

Afterward, Jinpeng narrated the sequence of events, and Poison Not Dead's brows gradually furrowed tighter.

Well, that's a spiritual kidnapping there... No wonder he's showing such an unconvinced and dissatisfied attitude.

After thinking for a moment, he walked up to Qin Xiao and said in a firm voice, "Qin Xiao, I know your talent for soul tools is extraordinary.

But did you know? Your martial soul talent is also extremely outstanding. Our Body Sect may not make you a top-grade Soul Master, but we will spare no expense to make you a peak Soul Master.

With your talent, it is very likely you could reach my level."

Qin Xiao still remained silent.

"Of course, even if you like soul tools, we support that too. If you need any materials, we will not hesitate to... uh, purchase them for you. Does that satisfy you?"

Poison Not Dead tried to appear as gentle as possible.

He looked like a creepy old man trying to coax a child.

Qin Xiao: "..."

Do you see me responding to you?

Who are you trying to lure with promises?

If you want me to join the Body Sect, at least present some concrete benefits.

He still didn't speak; in simple terms, it was a silent declaration of 'no rabbits, no eagles.'

However, he also gave Poison Not Dead a look that said, think carefully before you speak.

Poison Not Dead: "..."

It had been decades since he last saw that kind of look.

But thinking about it, he really seemed to have been making empty promises the whole time.

It looks like he needed to offer something real.

Poison Not Dead stood up and shouted to the people in black around him: "You've all rested quite enough, right? All of you, get back to the sect. Jinpeng, lead the way."

It seemed that the Sect Master was really going to bleed out for this, a rare sight indeed... Jinpeng's eyes flashed as he said, "All affiliates of the Body Sect, follow me."

With that, he soared into the air, flying in the direction of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The other powerhouses of the Body Sect also summoned their flying soul tools and closely followed Jinpeng.

Soon, only Poison Not Dead and Qin Xiao were left in the mountainous woods.

"Kid, now tell me what you want."
