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

Yang Ling snorted coldly, and with a light pinch, he destroyed the remaining aura on the spirit stone.

Although he could absorb this power, he felt sick when he thought that it belonged to Elder Miao Qing. He put away the spirit stone and planned to deal with it after returning to the sect.

Just as she walked out of the hall, a voice suddenly rang out. Ling Xueer's face changed. Could it be Zhuo Yue?
Yang Ling shook his head, signaling her not to panic.

When they walked out of the hall, they saw Xia Rourou standing there.

"So you are here! I've been looking for you for a long time." Xia Rourou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why does it feel weird here? There are no treasures or anything like that, just some ordinary things." She said casually.

Yang Ling nodded thoughtfully, and understood in his heart. He thought that Xuanzong's people must have been here before and looted all the treasures.

Who else can do this except them?

"They must be making such a big fuss about something, there must be some conspiracy. We have to leave quickly!" Ling Xueer said anxiously.

Yang Ling nodded in agreement.

However, before they had gone far, they were blocked by Zhuo Yue.

"Did you get any treasure when you went in? Hand it over quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!" Zhuo Yue said sternly.

Yang Ling looked at him, his heart calm.

In his view, excellence is not worth mentioning at all.

He took a step forward and said calmly, "What do you want to do? If you want to attack, just do it! I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!"

Zhuo Yue was furious when he heard this. He punched Yang Ling, determined to defeat him in one fell swoop.

However, Yang Ling did not even draw his sword, but just swung it lightly, and the Zhuoyue attack was dissolved into nothingness.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he simply couldn't believe that Yang Ling could reach such a level with just a single move.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have died on the spot. He witnessed Yang Ling's attack and was shocked.

Although he had heard of Yang Ling's name before, he always felt that his strength was just so-so. Now it seems that Yang Ling's strength is far beyond his imagination.

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhuo Yue's mind, and in the blink of an eye, Yang Ling suddenly drew his sword and stabbed him in the chest.

Zhuo Yue vomited blood, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he was full of confusion.

"How...can you be so powerful?" he asked intermittently.

Yang Ling retracted his sword and sighed helplessly, "I warned you a long time ago not to offend me without reason. It's too late to regret now. You can only blame yourself for not knowing what's good for you!"

Upon hearing Yang Ling's words, Zhuo Yue's face turned ferocious, and then he fell to the ground with a bang.

Xia Rourou stood there in a daze. She knew Yang Ling was strong, but she didn't expect him to be this strong.

To Xia Rourou, all this seemed like a dream.

Zhuo Yue was the most powerful among his peers, but he was defeated by Yang Ling in one move. If others fought against Yang Ling, wouldn’t they be seeking death?

Yang Ling turned around and wanted to leave, thinking that it was not appropriate to stay here for long. He urged: "Let's leave quickly, lest Xuanzong take the opportunity to attack us. Their plan is really..."

After hearing Yang Ling's words, Xia Rourou's doubts became even more intense. But she had indeed been full of doubts along the way, and now after Yang Ling's reminder, she suddenly understood.

Xuanzong's men were obviously doing it on purpose, and they would not find anything if they continued searching, so it was better to trust Yang Ling. So, she followed closely behind Yang Ling.

Ling Xueer always felt that things were not that simple. Sure enough, as soon as they came out of the ancient tomb, they saw several puppets rushing towards them.

The corpses of disciples from other sects were scattered around, and it was obvious that a fierce battle had just taken place here.

Ling Xueer looked at those puppets and felt a chill in her heart.

These puppets were all powerful when they were alive, but were refined by someone with ulterior motives after their death, and their methods were extremely vicious. They have lost their minds and will never stop attacking unless everyone is killed.

Yang Ling sneered, "Is this Xuanzong's plan? It's just a puppet. I've killed many of them." He roughly guessed who placed the puppet. The other disciples were much more powerful than him and were no match for Yang Ling.

Yang Ling and his men were very powerful, so naturally they were quickly targeted by the puppets.

For puppets, strong people like them are the best tonic.

Yang Ling took action to deal with the puppet without hesitation. He knew that there could not be only one such puppet.

Those disciples might be in great danger, and Ling Xueer didn't want to get involved, after all, saving their lives was the most important thing.

"Let's leave quickly. There's no point staying here. Other people's lives have nothing to do with us!" Ling Xueer said.

Yang Ling glanced at Ling Xueer and felt quite appreciative.

Sometimes, you have to be cruel when necessary, after all, others don't treat them as human beings.

"Don't you want to save other people? Don't those sects all value righteousness?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xueer had a different idea from them. Yang Ling smiled and felt that the matter was very simple and not that complicated.

"We, the Sword Sect, have always been non-aggressive and have kept to ourselves, and have nothing to do with other sects. Those sects have been causing trouble for us, so why should we be good people? Let's go!" After saying that, he walked out first.

The development of the matter was beyond their expectations. There were still puppets wandering outside, and the other disciples were attacked by the puppets.

Even if they tried their best, they were no match for the puppets.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air. Xuanzong's men were so cruel and merciless.

Yang Ling did not stop and continued to move forward.

The elder stood outside and could feel the murderous aura inside. The technique he practiced was extremely evil, and others found it terrifying, but he found it exciting.

The disciple on the side watched them, wishing Yang Ling would die in the ancient tomb. He now only hoped that Yang Ling could find the protective barrier in the ancient tomb, because he left his own aura. He practiced a technique that could devour the power of others. When the time comes, he can take the power in Yang Ling's body for himself, and his strength will definitely reach a higher level.

Thinking of this, he became very excited. Just as he was about to make a move, Yang Ling walked out of the ancient tomb.

Seeing him, the elder clenched his fists, secretly shocked. How come he came out so quickly?
"You Xuanzong people are so arrogant. You are so cruel and ruthless that you even don't let your own disciples go. This is the limit of Xuanzong's strength!"

Hearing Yang Ling's words, the elder pretended not to hear and didn't know what he was talking about.

He could only suppress his anger at Yang Ling's provocation and threats. "What are you talking about? I don't know. You can do whatever you want, but don't wrongly accuse our Xuanzong. Our Xuanzong's reputation is not for nothing, you should know the consequences!"

Faced with the elder's sophistry, Yang Ling was dismissive.

"Don't try to stop me! You don't dare to attack me now, or you will expose your purpose!"

Yang Ling was right. Even if Yang Ling stood in front of him, the elders did not dare to act rashly and could only watch him leave.

Faced with Yang Ling's provocation, the elder was furious, but could do nothing.

"You really deserve to die! I won't let you go!" he said gritting his teeth.

Yang Ling was very calm, as if everything was under control.

Afterwards, he turned around and left with Ling Xue'er, eager to leave this damn place as soon as possible. He would make a long-term plan after returning.

Ling Xueer looked at Yang Ling's back, secretly worried.

Would it really be good for Yang Ling to openly challenge Xuanzong?

"You'd better not be so arrogant next time. What if something really happens? What if Xuanzong trips us up on the way?"

Facing Ling Xueer's concern, Yang Ling behaved very calmly.

"Now that I am here, I will make the best of it. I have never taken Xuanzong's people seriously."

Just as Yang Ling was about to leave, Elder Miao Qing suddenly spoke out of the blue with a hint of provocation in his tone.

"Do you think you can escape? It's not that simple!" He stared at Yang Ling's back, and a nameless fire surged in his heart, because he did not find any traces of himself on Yang Ling. He frowned slightly, thinking to himself, could it be that Yang Ling has discovered something?
Yang Ling stopped but did not turn around. He just responded coldly: "If you have something to say, please say it quickly. I don't have time to chat with you!"

He winked at Ying Zheng and Ling Xue'er at the same time, signaling them to be careful so as not to get hurt in the upcoming conflict.

However, Ying Zheng and Ling Xue'er had firm eyes and showed no intention of leaving.

Yang Ling frowned slightly when he saw this, but he did not force them anymore.

Seeing this, Elder Miao Qing curled up the corner of his mouth into a cold smile, and said word by word: "This matter concerns Xuan Sect, you can't just leave casually. Please stay for a while!" His words were full of threats. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Yang Ling's arrogant attitude and wanted to take this opportunity to suppress the arrogance of Jian Sect.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ling retorted fearlessly: "We are from the Sword Sect. When is it your turn from the Xuan Sect to interfere in the affairs of our Sword Sect? This seems a little against the rules!" His tone was calm and firm, and he showed no intention of backing down.

Elder Miao Qing responded calmly: "Of course I can't interfere in the affairs of your Sword Sect, but I'm just curious. You left in such a hurry. Did you get some treasure?" His words were full of temptation and provocation.

"I want to see what good things the people from the Sword Sect got that made them leave in such a hurry!"

As his words fell, a terrifying force spread around him and continued to approach them.

Yang Ling felt a strong sense of oppression. He looked up suddenly and his eyes met with Elder Miao Qing's.

Elder Miao Qing's strength is indeed unfathomable, Yang Ling thought to himself. Although he could not do anything to Yang Ling, it was easy for him to get rid of the people around Yang Ling.

Ling Xueer was caught off guard and her face turned pale in an instant.

Yang Ling quickly stood in front of her. Facing the pressure from Elder Miao Qing, a white light suddenly flashed around him.

Facing the pressure from Elder Miao Qing, Yang Ling acted calmly, as if he was not affected at all. He said calmly: "Why? Is this question difficult to answer?"

Elder Miao Qing was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Yang Ling to be able to withstand his pressure. He thought to himself that if Yang Ling was not still useful, he would have gotten rid of him long ago.

When Yang Ling grows up, I'm afraid even he won't be his match.

However, Yang Ling had no expression on his face, and had no intention of taking action at this time. He said lightly: "When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely get rid of you and make sure you die without a burial place!"

As soon as Yang Ling finished speaking, the other disciples could no longer bear it and shouted, "How dare you! Do you know who you are standing in front of?" They all stood up for the elder, thinking that Yang Ling was too arrogant to dare to provoke the elder and speak wildly.

Yang Ling raised the corner of his mouth, did not argue with them, turned around and was about to leave.

Ling Xueer was nervous and worried about Yang Ling. She took out the pill she carried with her and handed it to him.

"Are you sure you're okay? If you really can't hold on any longer, that's okay, just say so!"

Yang Ling shook his head to indicate that it was okay, but he knew in his heart that this account would have to be settled sooner or later.

Xuanzong would not let them wait too long; the grudge between them would be settled sooner or later.

The other disciples looked at Yang Ling's back and felt sorry for the elder.

“Elder, he was so arrogant just now and provoked you and said such frivolous words. We should get rid of him. With his strength, he will definitely make great progress in the future!” They suggested that the elders take the opportunity to get rid of Yang Ling to prevent future troubles.

However, Elder Miao Qing put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "The fun has just begun! No matter how much he grows, he can't make up for the gap between him and me. Besides, he has other uses for me. You don't need to persuade him anymore!"

After saying that, he turned and left, mentally planning on letting everyone witness the moment when he defeated Yang Ling in the Chinese competition.

Just as Elder Miao Qing was about to leave, the leaders of other sects arrived one after another.

"Elder Miaoqing, what is going on? Why did we receive text messages from disciples? What happened inside?" They asked anxiously. Because the ancient tomb has certain restrictions, the sent text messages may not be received in time.

By the time they received it, it might be too late. Other sects also received the message, so they rushed over.

Elder Miao Qing said calmly: "Everyone, don't be so anxious! You will know whether it is true or not when you go in!" He was not afraid of these people with his powerful strength, let alone respect. It didn't matter even if he had to break up with all of them.

The other sect leaders' pupils shrank upon hearing this, and they clenched their fists. They had never thought that Elder Miao Qing would be so arrogant just after coming out of retreat. It seemed that Xuanzong was already a dangerous existence to them.

If they allow Xuanzong to continue to grow stronger, they will suffer unprecedented damage.

The disciples who had gone in to investigate rushed out one after another, but some disciples who had not yet gone in stayed outside. All the disciples who came out were covered in blood, and not a single part of them was intact.

"What's going on? What's inside?" one of them asked with a grim expression.

"There are so many puppets in there! And the number is huge!" They looked at each other and took a breath of cold air.

Although the disciples who went in were quite powerful, they were simply seeking death compared to those puppets.

Elder Miao Qing said lightly: "Everyone, please accept my condolences! There are dangers and unknowns everywhere in here, and it is normal to have puppets. Who knows what happened in there? I didn't expect something like this to happen!" However, his tone and expression did not look like he was accepting condolences. The other clan leaders gritted their teeth, knowing that Xuanzong did it on purpose. Even if there were puppets in there, they would not be that powerful. It is conceivable who did it.

Now that several of their sects have been affected, who else could have done this if not Xuanzong? They were shaking with anger and were speechless. Now the truth of the matter was clear at a glance. It must have been Xuanzong who did this. (End of this chapter)
