[The Qingyun Sect Master arrived at the Cave Dwellings of the Foundation Establishment disciples with a dark expression. Using a great divine power, he briefly replayed the scene of you and Ye Chuxue killing people last night.]
["Who are these two? Investigate! Investigate them thoroughly! I want to devour those two hateful humans!"]
[At his command, the Elders following at his side began arranging for Core Formation disciples to investigate the matter.]
[Soon, an Elder came to the Sect Master Hall to report to the Qingyun Sect Master, Chu Tianqiu.]
["Reporting to Sect Master, the identities of these two have already been confirmed. One is the Inner Sect disciple Ye Chuxue, and the other is the Outer Sect Menial Disciple Su Ming!"]
["What? Are you saying that a Menial Disciple of our Qingyun Sect killed all the Inner Sect Foundation Establishment disciples?"]
["What have you people been doing? Issue a wanted order for them, and share the news with the other sects as well. Everyone under heaven should join in exterminating those demonic cultivators!"]
[By the time you and Ye Chuxue arrived in the Qin Kingdom of the mortal world, wanted notices for the two of you had already begun spreading throughout all of Qingzhou.]
[However, neither you nor Ye Chuxue knew about the chain of consequences caused by your killing of the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Qingyun Sect.]
[Ye Chuxue told you that the reason she had come here was because, some time ago, she had heard that someone in the Qin Kingdom had been behaving abnormally, very much like an awakened person.]
[The moment you heard that, you immediately knew that the person Ye Chuxue was referring to was Lin Qi.]
[One month later, you found Lin Qi in a prison in the Qin Kingdom.]
[His condition was extremely poor. You and Ye Chuxue rescued him from the prison overnight.]
[Lin Qi showed no gratitude for your life-saving act. Instead, he wore an expression of utter despair.]
["Why did you save me? This world is fake. You are fake too!"]
[Seeing this, Ye Chuxue stepped forward and slapped Lin Qi flying with a single blow, then grabbed him by the collar with one hand and lifted him up.]
["Fake? Let me tell you, this world has always been real. It is just that ordinary people know nothing of the truth!"]
["When you broke through to Foundation Establishment, were you suddenly possessed by a Bizarre Insect?"]
[After hearing Ye Chuxue's words, Lin Qi was utterly shocked. He had not expected that you would know about such a thing.]
["Could it be that you... are the same as me?"]
["Of course! Otherwise, why would we risk ourselves to save you?"]
[Looking at you and Ye Chuxue, Lin Qi suddenly felt as though he had seen hope.]
["Then what exactly is going on? What exactly is that insect?"]
[Ye Chuxue patiently began explaining to Lin Qi what had happened to this world, starting from the Ancient Chaos Fiend Heavenly Venerable of the ancient era.]
[And so she continued speaking until nightfall, finally telling him the entire truth.]
["So that means we are all Awakeners? And in the Canglan Realm now, only the Awakeners and cultivators below Foundation Establishment are still human?"]
[Seeing Lin Qi's expression, you stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, telling him that although the truth was cruel, it was something all of you had to face.]
[Lin Qi was successfully invited by Ye Chuxue to join the Demonic Sect.]
["I never would have thought it. The people I once hated most were the members of the Demonic Sect. Looking at it now, it is truly laughable."]
["What we Awakeners must do is overthrow this rotten Canglan Realm and find the root of the problem. This belief has been upheld from the time of the Ancient Chaos Fiend Heavenly Venerable all the way to today."]
[At this point, you became curious why someone with such excellent talent as Lin Qi had not joined any sect.]
[Lin Qi told you that he was the heir of the Lin family, a family of a non-imperial Prince with a different surname in the Qin Kingdom. For the sake of his family, he had no choice but to hide his cultivation in front of everyone.]
[Even when he was eventually imprisoned for going mad, he still did not reveal his cultivation. Once he revealed it, it would mean the destruction of his entire family.]
[Just after saying that, you saw Lin Qi suddenly jump to his feet like a madman and run outside, muttering to himself.]
["Father... could Father also be a monster?"]
[Seeing this, Ye Chuxue directly dragged Lin Qi back and stared at him coldly.]
["Calm down, Lin Qi! Whether your father is a monster or not cannot be determined yet. According to what you said, your father is a genius, and geniuses often awaken very easily!"]
["Right, right! My father must also be an Awakener. I have to go back and ask him clearly!"]
[Ye Chuxue felt deeply helpless and shot you a look.]
[You immediately understood. Once again, you hauled Lin Qi back and slapped him across the face.]
["Have you woken up now? If you go directly to your father and expose your identity, what if your father has already become a puppet of the Bizarre Insect?"]
["No... impossible! Impossible!"]
[Seeing that Lin Qi was still stubbornly refusing to wake up to reality, you slapped him across the face again and looked toward Ye Chuxue.]
["This useless fool is beyond saving. Let him fend for himself!"]
[Seeing this, Ye Chuxue said nothing more and untied Lin Qi.]
[However, Lin Qi did not choose to leave. He recognized reality and chose to face the Bizarre Insect head-on.]
[Early the next morning, you went to find Ye Chuxue and asked about her plans going forward.]
[She told you that the two of you would temporarily recuperate in the Qin Kingdom. When the time came and they were close to breaking through to the Core Formation stage, they could go to Tianyuan to find that ruin and make the breakthrough there.]
[After hearing this, you suggested that Ye Chuxue temporarily leave the Qin Kingdom and cultivate somewhere else. After all, the Qin Kingdom was too close to the Qingyun Sect, and that could easily bring trouble.]
[You knew that during this year, people from the Qingyun Sect would come to the Qin Kingdom to hunt them down, even though the people they sent would not be especially strong.]
[After hearing your suggestion, Ye Chuxue felt that it made a great deal of sense. Just as the two of you were preparing to inform Lin Qi, the gate of your small courtyard was suddenly kicked open.]
["Demonic fiends, prepare to die!"]
[Ten figures appeared in the small courtyard one after another. Looking at their unfamiliar clothing, you asked them who they were.]
["Who are we? We are Inner Sect disciples of the Wind Thunder Sect. The Qingyun Sect has already exposed your identities. Right now, all of Qingzhou has issued wanted notices for the two of you!"]
[The moment those words fell, the ten Foundation Establishment cultivators charged at you and Ye Chuxue.]
[Although there were three cultivators among them at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, you did not panic in the slightest. You struck out with a single palm and directly killed one Foundation Establishment cultivator.]
[Within the span of a few breaths, you killed all the people surrounding you, then went over to Ye Chuxue's side and worked together with her to slaughter all the Wind Thunder Sect disciples.]
[When Ye Chuxue saw how powerful your combat strength was, she could not help but exclaim.]
["Foundation Establishment achieved through breaking through from the extreme realm of Qi Refining really is fierce. Challenging those above your level is no problem at all."]
[The battle ended very quickly. At that moment, Lin Qi also walked out from the room.]
[He asked what had happened. You briefly told him that the two of you were now wanted by all the sects of Qingzhou and had to leave this place at once.]
[After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Lin Qi did not say anything more and directly followed you as you fled the Qin Kingdom.]
[Just as you were about to leave the borders of the Qin Kingdom, you discovered that your path had once again been blocked by another group of people. Among them was even a Core Formation cultivator.]
["Demonic monsters, today will be the day you die!"]
