Night without Borders

Chapter 589 Pure White Flower
The light rain poured down like mist and clouds, and the enormous hands turned into specks of light and disappeared. The night sky was clear and clean, and even the evening breeze carried a touch of coolness.

Although Qin Ming had crimson bloodstains on his body, it could not conceal his otherworldly charm. His white robe fluttered in the wind, and his wide sleeves brushed against the clouds. It seemed as if moonlight was flowing between his clothes.

He treads the air, accompanied by the pure energy of heaven and earth, washing away all traces of his past bloodshed.

Qin Ming, dressed in a blue robe that billowed in the night wind and shimmered with light, said with a touch of detachment from the world, "True love will eventually be united."

Everyone was shocked. That was Huang Zhaoting, one of the leading figures in the hearts of a generation, and he had died just like that.

Many people were stunned until they heard the clear, cold voice in the night sky, which brought them back to reality.

What was that ethereal figure saying?

Many people looked up in astonishment, wondering if they had misheard. Was he going to become the "Underworld Matchmaker"?
Huang Zhaoting and the female grandmaster were crushed by the giant hand that covered the sky, leaving an indelible impression on everyone.

That scene was nothing short of a mental storm, leaving everyone present stunned.

Upon hearing such indifferent and detached comments, many people couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

What kind of extreme statement is this?

Many people were deeply moved when they witnessed Huang Zhaoting and the female master gazing silently at each other in their final moments, before being crushed together.

A woman whispered, "In the final scene, crimson blood splattered, and the pure Yang consciousness of the two was torn apart. It was desolate and felt broken. At that moment, I felt that Zheng Guang was really the big villain."

Immediately, someone next to her nodded in agreement, saying, "Truly worthy of being called a master of the heretical path."

Of course, some people retorted, saying, "Do you want to hear what you've said? Since you've already entered the fray and attacked the light of righteousness, you should be prepared to have your lives ended."

"Putting the facts aside, don't you think those two people were incredibly tragic and pitiful in their final moments?"

"You've already let it all go, what more can I say!"

In the distance, amidst the wild mountains, some people whispered, causing a stir.

Most people remained silent, more pragmatic, and quietly watched everything, speculating about the background of the grandmaster, Zheng Guang.

Qin Ming whispered in the night sky: "I am kind-hearted and cannot bear to see you separated, love unrequited, and suffer apart. Tonight can be considered a perfect ending."

Those who were arguing and gossiping in hushed tones were stunned upon hearing this. He was kind-hearted, upright, and radiant in the darkness. He…

A group of people thought he made a lot of sense.

Some people secretly questioned, "What kind of twisted logic is this to 'purify' the soul?"

"A grandmaster is indeed extraordinary. He doesn't care about worldly opinions and has his own top-level understanding of everything."

"He was just... going mad."

Most people believe that it is perfectly justifiable for the light of righteousness to kill the opponent.

If we really delve into it, Huang Zhaoting secretly killed countless living beings in order to practice his skills and use the Blood Refinement Method. At the very least, many native tribes in the Barbarian Immortal Realm disappeared because of him.

On the distant mountain ridge, Bai Meng was both shocked and excited, and said, "Brother Ming, you are so strong, so superior, you already have the demeanor of an unparalleled master."

Of course, he was communicating telepathically and didn't dare to shout it out loud.

Tang Yushang was also stunned. Was this Qin Ming's true strength? In his every move, he already possessed a certain composure and elegance of a grandmaster.

As he raised his head, his gaze swept over the surroundings with disdain, making it truly difficult to reconcile him with his former demeanor. He had once kicked her… Tang Yushang thought to herself.

In the desolate wilderness, amidst ancient trees and wolf-infested forests, on the undulating mountains, the Huang family members were struggling to restrain themselves, fearing that revealing their indignation would provoke a target from the evil sect master.

However, with so many people gathered together, the malice there was too obvious for Qin Ming, who was fully focused on resonating with this place, to hide.

In his view, the resentment there was so intense it was almost tangible.

A group of people watched him silently, their eyes swirling with hatred. The leader wished he could grind him to dust.

"You all disobey me?" Qin Ming spoke, gazing into the distance. He took a step forward, and a fierce wind blew and lightning crackled around him, as if a god had descended to earth.

He was incredibly fast. Standing on the Hunyuan Golden Bridge, he pierced through the night, the golden clouds supporting him, and arrived in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, the area fell silent again.

The grandmaster "Zheng Guang" was truly too powerful, hanging high in the night sky, looking down on the Huang family's first team to arrive.

Even with their family's unfathomable wealth and influence, the Huang family members were all apprehensive and their hearts pounded. How could this jinx be so perceptive? They were lying in the dense forest, making no move, yet he still managed to detect their abnormality.

Qin Ming said, "I have no intention of killing, but some people are filled with murderous intent towards me. I remember I let you go last time, so why do you dare to come again today?"

As he spoke, an immense pressure descended.

On the mountain peak below, a group of people's bones cracked and popped, unable to withstand the overwhelming force that felt like a mountain pressing down on them, as a massive wave crashed down from the sky.

On the mountain, many giant trees shook violently, leaves fell down, grass and trees broke, and rocks tumbled. With a series of thuds, people either collapsed or their knees buckled and they knelt on the ground.

In the darkness of night, a handsome yet wicked young man appeared, strolling leisurely under the vast sky. Through the hazy mist, he spoke slowly: "Brother Zhengguang, I feel sorry for you."

Qin Ming turned around, pretending to listen, and looked at the person who had come.

Many people also looked up to watch the figure in the deep night. Anyone who dared to step forward at this time was no ordinary person.

The visitor was very sincere and said, "The Huang family, as one of the old mountain strongholds in the heavens, holds a high position, yet they are very hostile towards you. This place is not worth it. Brother, you are a great talent. Why don't you come with me to the depths of the Night Mist World? Our Strange Insect Alliance is inclusive. A peerless talent like Brother Zhengguang can fully display his abilities in our alliance and will surely be treated with great respect."

No one expected that visitors from a foreign land would appear, and that they were so eager to find talent that their eyes were practically gleaming with malice.

Who is he? He is naturally Xiaochong, also a cultivator of the Realm. While waiting for Huang Zhaoting to appear, he was released by Qin Ming ahead of time, but his appearance was changed.

Qin Ming nodded in acknowledgment and said, "@#￥..."

His accent was so authentic that it left many people completely bewildered.

In order to sell fake medicine, Qin Ming had Tang Yushang learn foreign languages ​​diligently, and they could even converse fluently in various exotic dialects. This was just a small test of their abilities.

"They are... visitors from other realms!"

Those watching immediately realized that the grandmaster Zheng Guang came from afar and did not belong to the Yujing system. No wonder he seemed to have sprung out of a rock and his origins were completely unknown.

The little insect, with a hint of wickedness, nodded and said, "I was rash. It turns out that Brother Zhengguang has an amazing background, but he has only traveled to the territory ruled by Yujing. Well, since you have offended the local natives and the powerful old mountain faction, I advise Brother Zhengguang to withdraw as soon as possible."

Then, he quickly communicated with Qin Ming in the common language of the deep world of night fog. After exchanging contact information, he turned and disappeared into the vast night with his sleeves fluttering.

Under the cover of night, Qin Ming stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Enough. I'm too soft-hearted to slaughter you all."

The Huang family members breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had just escaped death.

"Only the higher-ups in the team will be killed," Qin Ming added.

With a wave of his sleeve, many figures exploded on the mountain, blood mist staining the trees red. Pure Yang consciousness appeared and then extinguished, shattered by the lightning that spread down.

Most of the Huang family's team has disappeared, leaving only marginal figures who genuinely have little killing intent.

What happened to the agreement to only eliminate high-ranking officials?
The rest survived, but their faces were frozen, and they stood there stiffly, unable to tell whether they were happy or sad.

Qin Ming dusted off his sleeves, and the Hunyuan Golden Bridge stretched across the sky beneath his feet, as if it could lead directly to the other side. He then suddenly disappeared into the distance, vanishing from everyone's sight.

"Such a gifted person is actually a visitor from a foreign land. What a pity."

"You're being naive. Do you think you can just take whatever those two say at face value? They might just be creating a false impression."

"Well, you think you've guessed it's an illusion, but what if someone intentionally showed it to you to make you think that way?"

"Are you going to keep doing this endlessly?"

The crowd receded from this area like a tide, amidst various disputes and speculations.

Only the Huang family members were disappointed and left in dejection.

"Where is our clan's Grandmaster? Why hasn't he arrived yet?" someone whispered in the background.

……

The great battle ended, and the glory faded away.

Different teams and different organizations set off in different directions, some to gather herbs and seek opportunities, and others to search for their clansmen who had been lost in the Barbarian Immortal Realm.

"This trip was worthwhile; I actually witnessed such a legendary battle."

"Huang Zhaoting's crushing defeat is bound to cause a huge uproar. The mysterious man Zheng Guang is too powerful!"

Bai Meng was extremely excited, but he couldn't reveal it, so he and Tang Yushang traveled in silence.

Suddenly, the light dimmed deep in the forest. There were no outsiders present, and Qin Ming arrived quietly.

He traveled here in spirit, leaving no trace along the way, because his spiritual field was attached to the tattered cloth, while his physical body was absorbed into the internal space of the old cloth.

After his true form arrived, he took the two figurines back.

"Brother Ming!" Bai Meng's eyes were fervent, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly.

Tang Yushang's expression was also unusual. She usually liked to raise her snow-white chin, but now she lowered it a little. Her eyes were filled with a spiritual light, as if she was carefully looking Qin Ming up and down when she first met him.

"Let's go home!" Qin Ming smiled. He had already changed his clothes. Now his eyes were clear and untainted, as pure as a little white flower.

What does it matter to me whether I've killed a peerless genius or sent a star-crossed couple to their deaths? He is now beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements.

As he spoke, he re-inserted hundreds of gold threads into the mental fields of Pei Shuyan and Cheng Sheng.

After the two woke up, they wanted to fight with Bai Meng. Although they had lost control not long ago, they hadn't forgotten that they had been knocked unconscious by the two siblings.

"Master Pei, you were knocked unconscious by my sister using the Mountain and River Seal. What makes you think you're here? Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, huh? Old Cheng, you were also knocked unconscious by my sister first. Every wrong has its source, and every debt has its debt..."

Bai Meng bared his teeth, resisting and explaining, but when he saw Tang Yushang glancing at him sideways, he had to change his tune, saying, "The debt... is with me!"

"There's a reason for this. Just now on the way, a great battle broke out between peerless figures in the Grandmaster realm. Even Brother Ming had to retract his golden thread and be cautious in self-defense..."

The journey was chaotic, with the five-person group having quite a lively time.

After learning the "hidden story," Pei Shuyan and Cheng Sheng felt deeply regretful that they had missed a fierce battle.

"The previous generation's god? This level of decisive battle might have left a mark in history books, but in the end, it was all for naught. You actually knocked me unconscious."

At this moment, Pei Gong was no longer indifferent; he became very excited.

Bai Meng comforted him, saying, "We didn't look closely either; we were in a hurry to run away. Who would dare to get involved then? We only heard it from passersby."

At that moment, a heart-stopping wave came.

Qin Ming looked up and gazed at the horizon.

As night fell, a dazzling beam of light approached from afar. The departing crowd, scattered in all directions, now all looked up at the sky, gazing in the same direction.

"The Grandmaster...has arrived!" someone exclaimed from the mountains.

However, the great battle had already ended a quarter of an hour ago, and the Grandmaster of the Huang family was clearly late.

Those close to the clan sighed with regret, thinking that if the Grandmaster had arrived a little earlier, the legendary figure Huang Zhaoting would not have met such a tragic end.

"What? Zhao Ting...is defeated?"

In the night sky, the old man with white hair and beard, like a wounded silver lion, roared deafeningly, and the silvery light he emitted distorted the void.

At this moment, it was as if a pale sun was pressing down on the night sky, making all living things in the entire land tremble in fear.

The immense aura and terrifying fluctuations almost suffocated everyone.

"Ah..." The Grandmaster of the Huang family let out a beast-like roar, and with a loud bang, the sound wave caused a stone cliff below to collapse on the spot.

As he struck with his right palm, a towering peak shattered. His eyes flashed with lightning, and his entire body trembled slightly.

If Huang Zhaoting hadn't perished, he would undoubtedly have become a peerless master in the future. His calamity in the Barbarian Immortal Realm was even more heartbreaking and regrettable for the clan than the tragic death of their ancestor. The Huang family's Grandmaster scanned the surroundings, his lips trembling, and said, "You dare to kill our clan's prodigy? You have quite the audacity! Evil Path Grandmaster—Zheng Guang, you get out here!"

He roamed the area, leaving trails of afterimages in the night. Then, following the directions, he chased after his opponent in the direction he had gone.

In the dense forest, Qin Ming silently watched his back, a strange look on his face.

He has never fought a Grandmaster, so he doesn't know if he can continue the pursuit.

His robes fluttered as he slowly rose into the air.

"Brother Ming, don't be impulsive!" Bai Meng was terrified. Had Emperor Qin gone mad? He had just killed a peerless genius, and now he wanted to deal with a Grandmaster? This would cause a catastrophe.

Qin Ming landed on his feet but did not give chase. He shook his head and smiled, saying it was just a momentary impulse.

"Even if we're just watching, we should keep our distance and not get too close," Bai Meng added, trying to patch up his earlier remarks.

Pei Gong and Cheng Sheng immediately nodded and said, "That's right, Brother Qin, although you have broken through your cultivation and improved your realm, you can't just follow in the footsteps of a Grandmaster and join in the fun."

Tang Yushang stretched out her slender white hand and placed it on Qin Ming's shoulder. She was afraid that Qin Ming would go crazy and fight another battle.

"I know what I'm doing," Qin Ming said with a smile.

A moment later, the Grandmaster of the Huang family reappeared, but the sky was clearly deserted; he had failed to catch his opponent.

He suspected that the other person had not gone far and might still be lingering nearby.

Suddenly, from another direction, the clanging of chains echoed through the night sky, and a tall, god-like figure appeared, emanating a terrifying aura.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines; yet another master had arrived.

"War Beast!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, recognizing his identity: the peerless genius from Star Mountain who had run into trouble had arrived.

The next instant, a ripple came from afar, a blinding beam of light slashed through the night, the clouds and mist burst apart, and the second Grandmaster arrived.

"Two Grandmasters, plus their battle beasts, that's actually three powerful individuals traveling together!"

"Unfortunately, it was too late!"

Some people sighed.

The people from the old strongholds, in particular, have felt a sense of crisis. In the past, they held a superior position, but recently some people have disregarded the rules and killed them like dogs.

Even if Huang Zhaoting was beheaded, who wouldn't be afraid?
Some people are burdened with worries, a situation that evokes a sense of shared sorrow, like the death of a rabbit or the sorrow of

"Let's go, it's none of our business." Qin Ming led the way.

After observing this area for a long time, many people realized that there was no further major battle and therefore felt there was no need to stay.

The Grandmasters of War Beast and Star Mountain, after offering some advice to the Grandmaster of the Huang family, also departed not long afterward.

"Zhaoting, what a pity, what a loss! You are the light of righteousness, do you dare to fight me?"

The Grandmaster of the Huang family went mad here. Wherever he went, he kicked and shattered many mountain peaks with his bare feet. The scene was terrifying.

In the end, he even took his anger out on the people in the neighborhood.

"You all stop right there! Where are you from? Where are you going? And who are you?"

He was suspicious and looked down into the wild forest. His powerful aura spread out, causing many cultivators to collapse to the ground.

He swept across one region after another, investigating each one, still not giving up.

Even though Qin Ming and his men were hundreds of miles away from the battlefield, he still managed to catch up with them.

"Who are you?" he shouted from high in the sky.

Along the way, some people even died because of him, and many were injured.

Sure enough, when Qin Ming and his team were caught up with the other two teams, they were also caught in the crossfire.

The Grandmaster's aura was terrifying. He hung high in the night sky, emitting a white beam of light that crushed the trees and caused all three teams to collapse to the ground.

"I come from Taixu!" Tang Yushang revealed her true appearance and shouted loudly, her voice echoing throughout the surrounding area.

Bai Meng and Pei Gong were about to collapse to the ground, and even Qin Ming had to show some "performance," with veins popping out on his forehead.

It wasn't until Tang Yushang spoke that the Grandmaster of the Huang family frowned, had to restrain his aura, gave them a deep look, and then left.

"You're asking for it!" Qin Ming said.

"Brother Ming, my ancestor, calm down!" Bai Meng massaged his shoulders and back. He knew that Brother Ming was angry and that there was a real murderous intent surging in his heart.

Pei Gong and Cheng Sheng were speechless, and could only sigh that Brother Qin was a man of strong character, daring to be so disrespectful to a Grandmaster.

Tang Yushang said, "The war beast and the grandmaster of Star Mountain should still be lingering nearby."

Qin Ming nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Where are the disciples of Taixu?" A voice called from afar, and the person who answered identified themselves as also from Taixu.

Clearly, Tang Yushang used a remarkable skill when she revealed her identity, and her sound waves traveled to extremely distant places, attracting attention from all sides.

A moment later, Taixu's men arrived.

Tang Yushang went to meet them and found two old masters in the group ahead.

When the two meet, they naturally have a lot to talk about.

Half an incense stick later, Qin Ming finally spoke: "If the out-of-control person leaves the Savage Immortal Realm, the situation will quickly improve, right?"

"That's it."

Qin Ming said, "In that case, Tang Da and Pei Gong, you should leave this area first."

"And you?" Tang Yushang asked.

Qin Ming said, "I reckon the Barbarian Immortal Realm has quite a few problems, and it might close down at any time. While there's still time, I plan to go and gather herbs and look for opportunities."

Tang Yushang and Bai Meng's gazes towards him changed. Was he going to pick a spiritual herb, or a poison that could kill people?

"Brother Qin, come with us. It's too dangerous here. It's easy for something to happen if you stay behind alone," Pei Gong and Cheng Sheng advised one after the other.

Bai Mengxin said that if he stayed, someone else might get into trouble!

Tang Yushang pulled him aside and whispered, "These are turbulent times; don't cause trouble."

Qin Ming shook his head and said, "Am I that kind of person? I've always been law-abiding, okay?"

Now that his cultivation has improved, he genuinely wants to sweep through the Barbarian Immortal Realm in search of rare medicines, not to engage in any petty squabbles.

Two days later, Qin Ming sighed. The safe areas had already been explored by various powerful forces, and only dangerous places could contain miraculous medicines.

Some perilous situations made his hair stand on end, and he had to retreat voluntarily once he got close enough.

"Barbarian Immortals, seventh-realm monsters who have reverted to their primal instincts, seem to be able to maintain their state even without Primordial Qi or Xuanhuang Qi!"

Qin Ming was awestruck. Was this place naturally formed, or was it man-made? It seemed to hold a great secret. It had already been confirmed that a celestial immortal had indeed fallen here.

Moreover, they have no idea what era they came from.

After wandering around, Qin Ming arrived near the Dragon's Nest again. Deep underground, where the Crimson God Worm dwelled, there was the sound of chains clanging, and an unpredictable monster lurked, but the latter seemed unwilling to emerge.

"Could it be some kind of precious treasure?" he wondered.

"Forget it, stability is the priority. I won't provoke them. I'll have a Crimson God Worm hotpot here and then head back." Qin Ming was easily satisfied. Breaking through to the Grandmaster level in the Barbarian Immortal Realm was already a great achievement.

Soon after, on a mountain peak, the air was filled with a delicious aroma, and the ground was covered with metal insect shells. Qin Ming was enjoying a hearty meal.

If one person gets bored, he releases the guild leader, the second terracotta warrior, and the little insect, letting them pour wine, catch fresh ingredients, and help him remove insect shells.

Of course, in the end, Qin Ming also let the three of them have a drink and enjoy some delicacies.

However, to prevent any accidents, Qin Ming had all three of them change their appearance to avoid being seen by others and causing unnecessary trouble.

Soon, the president, with her long golden hair and rosy cheeks, became even more lifelike in her slightly tipsy state, as if she had a soul.

Qin Ming said, "President, what was your best skill back then? Can you still remember it? Let's spar. Hmm, your physical memories are still there, so maybe you can use it unconsciously."

The chairman remained silent, continuing to drink.

Qin Ming intentionally got her slightly drunk, wanting to see her physical instincts and whether she would behave differently under different conditions.

Without a doubt, he was indeed eyeing the chairman's unparalleled divine skills.

Qin Ming then looked to the other side and said, "Second Terracotta Warrior, you come from the Rebirth Terracotta Warrior organization. Are you proficient in various methods of achieving immortality, or do you have any unique life-saving techniques? Let's exchange ideas."

Suddenly, he turned his head quickly, his gaze drawn to the insect.

After drinking the wine, the evil energy within this insect could no longer be suppressed and overflowed. A surge of green energy rose from the top of its head, its eyes opened and closed, its spirit was bright, and its evil aura was chilling.

"Could it be that you're going to give me a 'surprise' first, and then try to live?" Qin Ming was stunned, then beckoned, "Come here!"

He then noticed that when the two terracotta figures looked at him, their eyes became deep and even more majestic, lifelike, as if they had come to life.

When he turned his head, he saw that the president was elegant in demeanor, with a strange light in his eyes. After taking a sip of fine wine, his beautiful eyes were half-closed, as if he was savoring the memory.

"Hiss!" Qin Ming was certain that he hadn't experienced this feeling of enjoyment when he resonated with the resonance.

"All three of you, stand up," Qin Ming ordered.

The three men stood up, raising their wine glasses, some languid and charming, others dignified and commanding... truly as if they had "returned".

A ripple came from the distant sky, and the war beasts of Star Mountain appeared. The Grandmaster of the Huang family also came. After failing to find the enemy, they wanted to come here to capture the Crimson God Worm and see if they could explore the depths of the earth.

"Hmm, someone's actually eating Crimson God Worm hotpot? They've got guts." The battle beast spoke, having maintained a clear mind lately.

He discovered that the Savage Immortal Realm could restore people to their primal instincts, and it even alleviated his madness, no less than taking precious medicine to heal his injuries every day.

"Who are you?" Huang's Grandmaster then demanded. He had been in a terrible mood for the past two days because some of his clansmen blamed him for being too slow in coming to Huang Zhaoting's aid.

Qin Ming stood up, his eyes deep, gazing at the two figures in the night sky.

At the same time, the guild leader, the two puppets, and the little bug turned around and faced the two masters together.

In an instant, the war beast and the Huang family grandmaster were all terrified, their scalps tingling. At their level, their spiritual perception was sharp to an indescribable degree.

Although the four people opposite them did not reveal their aura, they knew from their eyes that the other party wanted to hunt them down.

"Fellow Daoist, you've misunderstood. We meant no harm." That towering, demon-god-like war beast was known for its domineering and powerful nature, and it became even more dangerous after its cultivation went wrong.

But now, his madness seems to have been cured; his eyes are clear and bright, and he has a gentle smile on his face.

The Grandmaster of the Huang family nodded in agreement, indicating that they were merely passing through. His eyes were clear as a spring, without a trace of impurity.

At this moment, the two exuded a pure and innocent aura, unlike the infamous war beasts and the powerful grandmasters who commanded respect in one region. Instead, they resembled two delicate white flowers.

Qin Ming didn't say anything, but took to the air and led the guild leader, the two terracotta warriors, and the little insect to attack.

The two masters didn't even look back; they turned and fled.

Qin Ming's confidence wasn't blind; he had a solid foundation. His research into the "One Qi Transforms into Three Inscriptions" wasn't just empty talk. After breaking through to the Grandmaster level, he continuously infused his own divine essence into three incredibly powerful physical bodies.

If the three of them were to join the battle for a short period of time, it would be no less effective than having three Qin Mings at their peak.

With a deafening roar, the night sky suddenly shone brightly. Qin Ming, leading the president, the two terracotta warriors, and the little insect, tore through the night, shattered the clouds, and chased after the two "pure little white flowers".
