Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

However, the instinct for survival drove him to stand up again and stagger away.

The ghost dragon seemed to be looking at Yang Ling's miserable appearance with amusement, a hint of sarcasm flashed in its eyes, and then it accelerated again to chase after him.

Yang Ling ran desperately, his heart pounding like a drum, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He knew that if he continued like this, he would be caught up and killed by the ghost dragon sooner or later.

Just when he was about to despair, the system finally spoke. "Host, don't panic, I have a way to deal with this ghost dragon."

The system's voice rang in Yang Ling's mind, like a life-saving straw.

"What method? Tell me quickly!" Yang Ling asked anxiously.

"This is the Soul Locking Pill," the system said, "As long as you can throw this pill into the body of the Ghost Dragon, you can subdue it."

Hearing this, Yang Ling's eyes flashed with determination.

He tightly grasped the Soul Locking Pill, turned around and faced the Ghost Dragon that was approaching again, and shouted: "Evil beast! You are going too far! If I, Yang Ling, don't take your life today, I swear I will not be a human being!"

After saying that, he leaped up and rushed straight towards the ghost dragon's head.

The moment he approached the ghost dragon, he suddenly pulled out his sword, inserted it into the ghost dragon's scales, and then pulled it hard, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.

The ghost dragon roared in pain, and Yang Ling took the opportunity to stuff the Soul Locking Pill into its wound.

"Roar!" As soon as the Soul-Locking Pill entered the body, the Ghost Dragon let out an even more painful howl, with crazy red light flashing in his eyes.

The angry ghost dragon swung its tail violently and swept towards Yang Ling.

However, this time Yang Ling was well prepared and dodged the attack flexibly. He took the opportunity to punch the ghost dragon hard.

"Bang!" With one punch, one of the ghost dragon's tentacles was broken.

The ghost dragon, having lost its tentacles, fell to the ground in pain and let out another deafening roar.

However, it did not give up, but stood up again and bit Yang Ling. It was so fast that it arrived in front of Yang Ling in the blink of an eye.

Yang Ling felt a chill coming over him, and was shocked. But at this moment, a mysterious rune suddenly appeared on the ghost dragon. Yang Ling followed the system's instructions and shouted, "Imprison!"

“Boom!” With a loud bang, a stream of pure energy surged out from Yang Ling’s hands and directly rushed into the Ghost Dragon’s sea of ​​consciousness.

Then, Yang Ling was surprised to find that the originally ferocious and huge ghost dragon began to gradually shrink.

When the ghost dragon became the size of a palm, its threat to Yang Ling was gone.

However, its eyes were filled with confusion and doubt.

Looking at Yang Ling, it growled angrily, then turned into a streak of light and shot into the depths of the forest.

Yang Ling stood there in a daze, unable to react for a moment.

By the time he came to his senses, the ghost dragon had disappeared without a trace.

He asked the system in confusion: "System, where is the ghost dragon? Why did it run away?"

The system slowly replied: "Host, rest assured, the ghost dragon can't run away. It has a soul-locking pill in its body, so it can't be too far away from you." As soon as the voice fell, the ghost dragon roared and appeared again. It leaped and tried to pounce on Yang Ling.

However, this time, not long after it jumped out, it was hit hard on the head by the sword in Yang Ling's hand.

"Bang!" After a loud noise, the ghost dragon fainted.

Looking at the unconscious miniature Ghost Dragon, Yang Ling threw it into the mustard seed space.

Then, he turned his head to look at Lingyue Lake which was gradually returning to calm, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Just as he was hesitating whether to enter Lingyue Lake to check, Liu Ailian came out of the lake with injuries all over her body. The middle-aged man beside her supported her with a worried look on his face. Seeing this scene, Yang Ling frowned slightly and then walked over.

He handed the healing pill to Liu Ailian, who looked at him in surprise.

"Sir, why are you still here?" she asked.

Hearing this, Yang Ling explained in a low voice: "I don't know where to go for the moment, so I stayed here to recuperate."

At this time, the middle-aged man next to Liu Ailian asked, "Xiao Lian'er, who is this young man?"

Liu Ailian quickly introduced: "Father, this is Young Master Yang Ling. He was the one who saved me from the Ghost King of the Netherworld."

After that, she said to Yang Ling: "Sir, this is my father, Yinyue Ghost King Liu Yin."

Liu Yin's strength was unfathomable, and he was the best among the ghost kings. Therefore, Yang Ling also bowed solemnly and said, "Hello, uncle!"

Liu Yin looked at Yang Ling, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and said to Yang Ling gratefully, "Mr. Yang, thank you for rescuing my daughter. I am very grateful." His voice was full of sincere gratitude.

Hearing this, Yang Ling waved his hand and said indifferently: "Uncle, you don't have to be so polite. Although we just met by chance, it is only right for us to help each other." Hearing this, Liu Yin couldn't help but smile and said: "Young Master is so righteous, I admire you!"

After saying that, Liu Yin fell into a brief silence. After a moment, he spoke again.

"Now that everything is settled, why don't you come back with me to my house for a chat?" There was a hint of invitation in his words.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling immediately bowed and politely responded, "Uncle, I came to the ghost world to look for an old friend. I wonder if you can lend me a hand?"

After hearing this, Liu Yin replied in a steady voice: "You are welcome, young master. I still have some power in this ghost world." He glanced at Liu Ailian beside him and sighed helplessly, "It's just that Xiaolian's injury has not yet healed. I'm afraid it will take a while. I wonder if you are willing to wait for a while?" Upon hearing this, Yang Ling immediately cupped his hands and said, "Since uncle is so kind, I will be honored to refuse it."

"That's great. If you are willing to wait, then come back with me." After Liu Yin finished speaking, he turned to look at Liu Ailian and asked about the cause of the matter. "Xiao Lian'er, how did you encounter the Netherworld Ghost King?"

Liu Ailian looked depressed, took off a ring from her finger, and explained: "Father, this ring is the cause of all this trouble."

Yang Ling cast his eyes curiously at the quaint black jade ring in Liu Ailian's hand, and Liu Yin also took the ring and looked at it carefully.

He looked at it over and over again, and asked in confusion: "This ring looks ordinary, how could it cause trouble?"

Liu Ailian took the ring back and whispered, "I picked up this ring by accident. At first, I just thought it looked nice, but didn't think it was anything special. But since I picked up this ring, I started to have dreams. The dreams were both real and clear. Out of curiosity, I went to look for it according to the scenes in the dream, and the result was..." At this point, Liu Ailian became depressed and lowered her head.

Seeing this, Liu Yin patted her head with a loving heart to comfort her. Liu Ailian felt her father's love, took a deep breath, and continued: "The end of the dream was actually near the Nether Palace. I was discovered as soon as I approached. It was too late to escape, so I was captured by the Nether Ghost King."

After listening to his daughter's story, Liu Yin stared at the ring with deep eyes. Then, he smiled casually at Liu Ailian and said, "Xiao Lian'er, this ring is really beautiful. How about giving it to your father?"

Liu Ailian didn't hesitate and handed the ring to Liu Yin directly: "Okay, I don't like this ring now either."

After receiving the ring, Liu Yin took Liu Ailian and Yang Ling back to Yinyue Palace. Soon, the three of them arrived at Yinyue Palace. However, the scene before them shocked Liu Yin's heart - the palace was in a mess, and there were many ghost soldiers holding weapons and wreaking havoc.

Seeing this scene, the usually good-tempered Liu Yin couldn't help but get angry. He handed the injured Liu Ailian to Yang Ling to take care of, and took out the ghost weapon and strode towards Yinyue Palace.

The ghost soldiers who were wreaking havoc in the palace paused involuntarily when they saw Liu Yin. Then, they showed panic on their faces and began to retreat quietly. At this time, a wrinkled, black-faced man strode out of the gate of Yinyue Palace. He was more than nine feet tall, with a broad back and a strong body like an iron tower. It was obvious at first glance that he was not a good person.

When he saw Liu Yin, a trace of bloodthirstiness and cruelty flashed in his eyes. Obviously, he was ordered to come and strangle the remaining members of Liu Yin. However, how could Liu Yin be afraid of a mere ghost general? He swung the sharp blade in his hand and fought with the ferocious black-faced ghost general.

Although the black-faced ghost general was no match for Liu Yin, the ghost weapon in his hand was extraordinary. "Liu Yin, today is the day you die!" the black-faced ghost general shouted viciously.

When Liu Yin heard this, his face remained calm: "Hmph, I am the master of Yinyue Palace. If you go wild in my territory, don't blame me for being rude!" Before he finished speaking, he jumped up and launched a fierce attack on the black-faced ghost general.

Seeing Liu Yin so brave, the black-faced ghost general's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Ghost Slash!" In an instant, several sharp blades swept towards Liu Yin. However, as the ghost king, how could Liu Yin be afraid of a ghost general? Even though he was injured some time ago, his strength has not been weakened much.

He rushed out suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, he was fighting with the black-faced ghost general. Liu Yin's attack was extremely swift, and every time he swung his arms, there was a sound of breaking wind. "Bang~" In just a moment, the two collided several times. The black-faced ghost general could barely hold off Liu Yin's attack at first, but after a few rounds of fighting, he gradually became powerless.

"Puff..." In a moment of carelessness, Liu Yin's ghost weapon directly slashed the chest of the black-faced ghost general. With a shrill scream, the black-faced ghost general fell to the ground with serious injuries.

Just when Liu Yin was about to kill him, he didn't expect Cheng Yaojin to suddenly appear. He looked at the white-clothed scholar Li Zhi standing in front of him and was slightly stunned. Then he glared at him and shouted, "Li Zhi, you traitor, how dare you appear in front of me?"

As soon as Liu Yin finished speaking, Li Zhi said with a playful smile: "Hey, Brother Liu, we meet again."

Liu Yin said coldly: "As a traitor, aren't you afraid that I will kill you with my own hands?"

Li Zhi responded indifferently: "Oh? Do you think you can defeat me now?" After saying that, dazzling blood light suddenly burst out from his body.

Liu Yin looked at Li Zhi in surprise and said in a lost voice: "Li Zhi, you traitor actually got the inheritance of the Blood Seal Ghost King?"

Li Zhi chuckled: "Haha, Brother Liu has a good eye."

Liu Yin didn't expect that this former traitor would become so powerful now. "Hmph, have you forgotten Xu Min's lesson?" He snorted disdainfully.

However, Li Zhi just showed an indifferent expression, as if he didn't take Liu Yin's words to heart at all. "Brother Liu, you are too serious," he said calmly, "Besides, Xu Min suffered a backlash because of his lack of self-control!"

"Do you think you have enough self-control?" Liu Yin asked coldly.

"Hmph, Xu Min is a waste, but I am not." Li Zhi replied disapprovingly.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the distance. Liu Yin frowned and slowly turned his head to look at the person who came. His pupils suddenly shrank after seeing this. "Qiu Jiu, you betrayed me too?" He shouted in disbelief.

The person who came was a handsome young man wearing armor. When he saw Liu Yin, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes. "Master Ghost King, you are too conservative. Yinyue Palace will have no future under your leadership." After he said that, he looked up and looked directly at Liu Yin and said in a deep voice, "Master Juesha is different. He is much more ambitious than you."

Liu Yin looked at Qiu Jiu in disbelief. He had never expected that his most loyal subordinate had now been bribed by someone else. "Qiu Jiu, you have ignored our friendship for so many years. I misjudged you." He looked down at the ghost weapon in his hand and muttered to himself.

Qiu Jiu couldn't help but shook his head when he saw this and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has their own ambitions, Lord Ghost King. If you like a simple life, you shouldn't occupy the position of Ghost King."

"What a great saying, 'Everyone has their own aspirations' haha..." Liu Yin sneered as he looked at Qiu Jiu and Li Zhi angrily, "If that's the case, let's end it together today."

After saying this, he took a deep breath to calm himself down and then stared directly at Qiu Jiu and Li Zhi. "Qiu Jiu, no matter who wins or loses today, all grudges will be written off." He made his move as soon as he finished speaking.

A short sword as black as ink instantly pierced through the void and attacked Qiu Jiu. This was the ghost weapon that Liu Yin had forged and refined himself - the Soul-Breaking Sword! Its power was extraordinary. If Liu Yin had not been at the level of a ghost king, he would not have been able to exert even one tenth of its strength.

"Shua..." The Soul-Breaking Sword moved so fast that it approached Qiu Jiu in the blink of an eye. Qiu Jiu's eyes were fierce and he showed no fear.

"Clang~" Then the sound of metal clashing was heard.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yin's Soul-Breaking Sword collided with the ghost sword shrouded in black mist, and sparks flew all over the sky during the collision.

"The Ghost King's Soul-Severing Sword is truly powerful!"

At the same time, Qiu Jiu was seen exclaiming.

"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense and keep going." Liu Yin shouted softly, and then once again urged the Soul-Breaking Sword to slash towards Qiu Jiu.

"Swish..." The sharp sword light tore through the sky, causing people's fear.

However, when the Soul-Breaking Sword was still a few inches away from Qiu Jiu, it suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Liu Yin looked over in confusion, only to see Li Zhi, who had been watching quietly, actually take action. (End of this chapter)
