My Wife is A Sword God

Qin Feng’s face froze when he heard this. He only thought that Lord Deng was not very satisfied with the power of this move, so he made such remarks.

But as the saying goes, the truth lies in actions. Moments ago, those ten or so huge demonic shadows were enough to make him tremble with fear.

“No need to be so worried, Lord Deng. It’s only natural that your strength isn’t what it used to be, considering that your body hasn’t fully recovered to its peak state,” Qin Feng reassured.

However, Deng Mo shook his head. “You have misunderstood. It’s not that I’m dissatisfied with the power of the Puppet Shadow Ghost Prison Kill. It’s precisely because their power is comparable to what I had in my heyday that I find them suspicious.”

“Huh?” Qin Feng was confused. 

‘Could it be that Lord Deng has not taken action seriously for many years, so he has an illusion?’

You must know that Chief Deng has been suffering from serious illnesses for a long time, and he is already past his prime, and is no longer as brave as before.

Although his physical injuries have healed somewhat, it’s unrealistic to expect him to regain his former fighting prowess.

“At first, I thought it was just my imagination, so I deliberately used the Puppet Shadow Ghost Prison Kill technique, which is extremely difficult for practitioners of the Hundred Ghosts’ Path.”

“But now, I can confirm that it was not just my imagination, but because of this…”

As he spoke, Lord Deng slowly opened his right hand, and a wisp of dark green gas appeared in front of Qin Feng’s eyes, burning like flames.

Seeing this, Qin Feng widened his eyes and exclaimed, “Is this the Netherworld Fire from the Netherworld Realm?!”

“Yes, and it also has another name, called Netherworld Qi.”

Continuing, Lord Deng said, “In fact, a few months ago, I noticed changes in Heaven and Earth, and you should know the reason why.”

Qin Feng nodded, “It’s because of the catastrophe in the western regions that caused the opening of the Netherworld Realm.”

“Exactly. However, at that time, the strange feeling was not as intense as it is now. Coupled with my physical condition, even if I wanted to try, I was powerless.”

“It wasn’t until you healed my injuries somewhat that I was able to verify my initial speculation.”

Deng Mo walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, then solemnly continued, “Although the Netherworld Realm is closed, its influence on this side of Heaven and Earth has already begun.”

“The long-lost Netherworld Qi has reappeared, and it’s increasing with time.”

“Perhaps this also means… that the entrance to the Netherworld Realm will reopen and descend again.”

Qin Feng’s expression darkened as he suddenly remembered the snippets he had heard earlier at Senior Li Yang’s tomb in Jinyang City – once the rift in the spirit realm opened, it would be like spilled water, impossible to recover; even if it were closed, it would inevitably reappear in the mortal realm.

Doesn’t Lord Deng’s discovery subtly prove this point?

“Although the Netherworld’s influence on the mortal realm has caused many uncertainties, I’m sure that the Netherworld’s ghostly aura is of great benefit to the current practitioners of the Hundred Ghost Dao.”

“It can help them understand their cultivation and even break through to higher realms!” Deng Mo’s expression became somewhat excited.

Qin Feng listened thoughtfully.

Among the various scriptures, he had come to know one fact: for thousands of years, it had been a long time since a Hundred Ghost Dao practitioner had reached the legendary transcendence!

For them, the second-level realm was already the limit.

However, if Lord Deng’s words meant that the Qi of the Netherworld was the key for the Hundred Spirit Dao practitioners to transcend, then it was quite intriguing…

After all, for the disciples of the Literature Saint Lineage to reach higher realms, they had to rely on the primordial Immortal Qi, while the Divine Martial Warriors needed the Ancient Divine Breath, both of which could be obtained from the Immortal Realm.

Now, even the advancement of the Hundred Spirit Dao Lineage required the Netherworld Qi from the Netherworld Realm?

Wouldn’t that indicate that the human lineage of this Heaven and Earth had countless connections with the other two realms?!

The more he thought about it, the more confused Qin Feng felt. At this moment, he could only feel his head throbbing with unanswered questions.

He knew too little at the moment, and many things could only be speculated upon.

To prevent his brain cells from making any more useless sacrifices, he shook his head and spoke up, “Has Lord Deng informed the Heavenly Tower National Teacher of this discovery?”

“Of course. However, the National Teacher’s reaction was rather indifferent. Perhaps the National Teacher foresaw this outcome from the moment the rift in the Netherworld Realm appeared in the mortal world of the Western Region.”

“That is indeed possible…” Qin Feng nodded slightly.

After exchanging a few more words, as they were about to part ways, Deng Mo seemed to remember something, “I remember that you have some connections with the Sword Dao Alliance, don’t you?”

Qin Feng was taken aback, not understanding why Lord Deng would bring this up, so he nodded and replied, “Back in the Myriad Sword Sect, when the three great sword families gathered to form the Sword Dao Alliance, my wife and I were present.”

The Sword Dao Alliance had now spread to the four domains of the Great Qian, with far-reaching influence compared to before.

Over half a year ago, the Sect Master of the Myriad Sword Sect, Yue Hexuan, had sent a letter, hoping that Liu Jianli could spare some time to visit the Sword Dao Alliance and enhance the reputation of the Myriad Sword Sect.

However, Liu Jianli simply replied with a short letter, apologising to her master and saying that she was too busy.

It was unknown what Sect Master Yue’s expression was when he received the letter…

“I see,” Deng Mo continued, “I’ve received word that it won’t be long before people from the Sword Dao Alliance come to this Imperial City.”

“Hmm? What are they doing here?” 

“I don’t know the exact reason, but it’s probably related to the establishment of a branch.” 

Qin Feng immediately guessed what was going on. The establishment of the Sword Alliance had shattered the conventional beliefs of many families within the Great Qian.

As a result, the strength of the ordinary warriors within the Great Qian had greatly increased. Branches of the Sword Alliance had already been established in the numerous Heavenly Cities within the four domains of the Great Qian. But they had yet to establish their branch in Imperial City.

They must have come here to seek Emperor Ming’s approval to establish a branch!

…

The night breeze blew gently as lights illuminated the Qin residence. Just after the Qin family finished their dinner, a letter was delivered to Father Qin by the gatekeeper.

It was, of course, a letter from the second son, who had made it a habit to send a letter home every month to report on his safety.

Second Mother, worried about the safety of her second son, took the envelope and opened it. When she read it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

As is well known, due to the imbalance of Yin and Yang in the southern area of the Great Qian, the Yin Qi was too strong, so the disaster caused by demons and ghosts were frequent and extremely dangerous.

Therefore, whenever the Second Mother received a letter, she was always nervous, fearing that something might have happened to Qin An.

However, in the past few months, the troubles caused by demons and ghosts in the Southern Domain had decreased significantly. It wasn’t surprising that her second son often complained in his letters about the reduced opportunities to gain experience.

Of course, the Second Mother was happy to see this. After all, compared to fame and power, all she wanted was her second son’s safety and peace of mind.

If he returns to the Qin residence unharmed, that will be more important than anything else.

It’s worth noting that Qin An had already reached the fourth rank of the Divine Martial Realm a few months ago, and had even reached the fourth level of Knife Intent, which is considered quite accomplished.

Although Qin An’s reputation hasn’t yet spread throughout the Great Qian, he has made a name for himself in the southern region.

He has also acquired a rather catchy nickname – the Moon Slayer!

This nickname comes from the fact that Qin An would shout ‘Bankai, Heaven-Locking Moon Slayer’ every time he seriously attacked…

And so the name Moon Slayer was born.

Every time Qin Feng thought about it, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

The Chuunibyou dream from the previous life had been realised by his younger brother in this life, it was truly beyond words.

“Oh, by the way, Young Master, there’s another letter here addressed to you by the Second Young Master.”

“Hmm? Why would there be two letters? Let me see.” Qin Feng showed a curious expression as he took the letter.
