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

Opposite him sat a man who was about forty or fifty years old. He was dressed in a black robe, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and his eyes full of undisguised ambition. It was obvious at first glance that he was a difficult guy to deal with.

Hearing Xu Xiaotao's words, the man smiled gently and said slowly: "You are also aware of the current situation, right? In the past, you were of noble status, but you were from the Qin family, so I had to weigh it carefully. But now, you have followed the young master of the Yun family to the Yun family. Compared with the Qin family, the gap between the Yun family and the Qin family is not a little bit!"

"The conditions we offer are already for your own good!"

These words sounded high-sounding, but were actually full of contempt, and showed no regard for Xu Xiaotao and the others at all.

If it weren't for Tan Zhi, Xu Xiaotao would have been unable to resist and beat him up long ago.

Back then, his status and position were among the best, and many people were vying to get close to him, including the man in front of him, who had received a lot of care from him. I thought the other party would readily agree to it because of their past relationship, but I didn't expect him to refuse outright.

This caught Xu Xiaotao off guard, but he was too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party and just turned around and left.

Just as he turned around, the man said seriously, "I advise you to think about it carefully! Don't you know the current situation? There are very few people willing to do business with you now. You have offended some people in the Qin family. How could they still cooperate with you? If you want to make a name for yourself in this industry, it's simply a foolish dream. I am willing to cooperate with you for the sake of our past friendship. Don't you appreciate it?"

The man's words were full of sarcasm. Xu Xiaotao clenched his fists tightly, and secretly sighed in his heart: It's really a tiger in plain land being bullied by a dog! This man obviously took a fancy to the treasure in his hand and wanted to take advantage of it. Now that he couldn't take advantage, he started to get angry. Xu Xiaotao was too lazy to waste words with him and was about to leave.

Seeing that Xu Xiaotao was not willing to listen, the other party immediately became angry and shouted: "Don't think that you can make a name for yourself after leaving the Qin family. Those people behind the scenes will not let you go easily. I want to see who else is willing to cooperate with you besides us!"

Xu Xiaotao took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He knew that someone was behind all this.

The Qin family would not let them go easily, but they did not dare to do it too blatantly.

After all, they were not strong enough at the beginning, and the decision made by the head of the family at that time was completely beyond their expectations.

However, he firmly believed that one day, they would see a turning point.

Just after Xu Xiaotao left, a figure appeared out of nowhere without any warning. He subconsciously looked up and was startled when he saw the other person. He felt that the person looked familiar. Soon, he recognized that it was this person.

"I know you are very powerful, and I have received a lot of favors from you in the past. Why don't you join us? We can also give you what you want. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

After not seeing him for a while, this little guy's strength has improved so quickly. The other party naturally knows how powerful Xu Xiaotao is, and this person is the leader of Yunxuan Sect.

The Yunxuan Sect has a huge industry and its strength is second only to the Qin family. Moreover, the two sides have always been at odds with each other. What the Qin family does has no impact on the Yunxuan Sect at all.

The fact that he personally came out to invite Xu Xiaotao with his status is enough to show how much he values ​​Xu Xiaotao.

Xu Xiaotao took a deep breath. He had to admit that this was a great temptation for him. But he refused without hesitation. After all, he always valued friendship and loyalty.

The man didn't expect Xu Xiaotao to reject him so straightforwardly, and hurriedly said, "You can think about it carefully. I have actually approved of you for a long time. If you are willing to join us, I believe you can figure out the pros and cons, and we can also provide you with the best conditions."

"Forget it. Since I have already promised someone, I will not regret it easily. If I meet someone better in the future, I will abandon the other person. What kind of person would I be? I am not the kind of person who breaks my promise!" Xu Xiaotao was firm in his attitude.

Since he had said so much, the other party had no choice but to compromise.

"Well, since you have made up your mind, I respect your choice. You should have a good rest. I am actually optimistic about you two and hope we will have the chance to meet again in the future!"

After saying that, the other person's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.

Xu Xiaotao didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the other party walked away. After all, the other party's strength was far superior to his, and he had been worried that the other party would suddenly attack him. He was also wondering why the other party came to him.

After Xu Xiaotao returned to the Yun family, Yang Ling found him looking sad and felt it was a bit strange.

"What's wrong? I've never seen you like this before. Did something happen to you?" Yang Ling asked with concern.

During this period, Yang Ling also gained a lot. He was not stingy and shared part of his gains with the Yun family. But even so, it seemed that no problem was solved.

Yang Ling looked at Xu Xiaotao and guessed the reason, but he still wanted him to say it himself. When he learned that it was because of the Qin family, Yang Ling sneered.

"Since those people are so unconvinced, why don't we think of a safe solution? What do you think? We can just catch them all in one fell swoop. When that time comes, those people will see our strength and naturally won't dare to provoke us easily!" Xu Xiaotao thought Yang Ling's suggestion made sense.

The reason why those people looked down on them was because they thought they were too weak. Apart from that, there seemed to be no other reason. Xu Xiaotao agreed with Yang Ling's idea.

The thing I was most worried about could not be avoided after all and was about to come true.

They looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.

The Wang family has always been eyeing the Yun family, wanting to get rid of them as soon as possible. The Yun family was originally mediocre, but now it has suddenly become powerful, and naturally became a thorn in the eyes of other families. How could the Wang family let them go easily?

Yang Ling brought several elders to the venue, only to see several disciples of the Yun family who were participating in the competition with their eyes closed to rest.

In yesterday's battle, they tried their best and although they won the game with their own strength, their realm was limited after all and the losses were extremely serious.

Moreover, each family had a limited number of participating disciples, and at least half of them could not go on stage. Several disciples had solemn expressions on their faces.

"We haven't recovered yet, and there's not much time left until the next game!"

"Don't worry, take your time and rest, I will buy you some time!" They all put a lot of effort into this game. However, this time was different from the past, as their opponent was the Wang family. The Yun family hated the Wang family to the core. The Wang family had suppressed the Yun family, forced the Yun family into desperate situations many times, and killed many people in the Yun family. They had to settle all these blood debts with them.

"That's right. No matter what, we must win this match and we can't lose to them!" Their eyes flashed with ruthlessness. At this moment, Yang Ling walked towards them, followed by several elders and Sun Yao.

"Mr. Zhao, you're here!" They were extremely excited when they saw Yang Ling.

"I believe you have all heard that your next match will be against several geniuses from the Wang family. What are your chances of winning now?" Yang Ling's eyes swept over the crowd. He could see that although these people were strong, they did not want to lose and were determined to make the Wang family pay the price no matter what.

On the other side, the Wang family's disciples were smiling and their words were full of sarcasm. They were the first to come to the field, their eyes fell on the Yun family's disciples, and they said seriously: "I heard that you are quite strong and skilled. I really want to learn from you and see how capable you are!"

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then continued, "Hasn't your Yun family been defeated by us before? Not long ago, you were beaten badly by us. Now you think that you have the qualifications to challenge us just because you have a new backer?"

They didn't take the Yun family seriously at all. Most of the contestants were well-known families, and there were also several sects. Although they usually fought openly and secretly, they would still pretend on the surface. It was extremely rare to see a face-to-face provocation like this.

As he finished speaking, everyone else came to watch the fun. They had all heard about the feud between the two families and wanted to see who would come out on top.

The Yun family disciples clenched their fists in anger. Who could bear being humiliated like this? Yang Ling responded without hesitation, "Why are you so impatient? I advise you to be patient for a while. If you keep your mouth shut, you will suffer the consequences!" The man stared at Yang Ling and asked, "What tone of voice are you using to talk to me?"

Several elders of the Wang family were also eager to try. Provocations between disciples were normal, but when Yang Ling, an outsider, said such words, in their opinion, it was completely a personal vendetta. How could they not be angry?
"To be honest, I'm usually pretty friendly. If you guys compete with us seriously, we'll naturally deal with you in a formal way. But if you play tricks behind our backs, I guarantee that you'll pay a heavy price!"

Yang Ling's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting them and making their scalps numb. They looked at each other and their faces changed instantly.

Yang Ling's reputation for cruelty has long been known. Not long ago, several families were wiped out one after another, and it was said that he was responsible.

In other words, those families did not dare to track down the murderer behind the scenes, for fear of getting into trouble. As for whether the rumors were true or not, some people were skeptical.

"With your level of cultivation, you dare to speak nonsense here and not take us seriously?" The grand elder of Wang family stepped out from among the elders, his eyes flickering.

When he saw Yang Ling, he remembered that all the people he had sent to the Yun family before had died at Yang Ling's hands, and their deaths were silent; Yang Ling had hardly done anything.

Thinking of this, he felt a little embarrassed. In his opinion, Yang Ling was nothing in front of the Wang family, and he actually dared to provoke them like this.

"Who did I think it was? It seemed like you guys were here last time. Come to think of it, I do have some 'fate' with your Wang family!" Yang Ling looked down at the other party. Even the people who went to the Yun family to look for Yang Ling lowered their heads in shame. The Grand Elder gritted his teeth, and Yang Ling's expression was clearly one of naked humiliation.

"Even if you are strong, our Wang family is not weak either. Just talking big is not a skill. If I had real skills, I could easily kill you!" He deliberately lowered his voice. Yang Ling actually wanted to practice with them, but he was too lazy to pay attention to him at the moment. Then he turned to look at several disciples and asked, "Have you recovered almost?" They nodded. Having Yang Ling was an encouragement to them, which made them feel more confident. After all, Yang Ling's strength was there, so they naturally couldn't say anything. As the host's voice sounded, the competition officially kicked off, and everyone's eyes were all cast on the stage. Several disciples of the Wang family looked disdainful.

"No matter how many people from your Yun family come, they will not be our opponents. On the contrary, they will be defeated by us!"

"That's right, surrender now and I can spare your lives. Don't try to show off here!" they shouted.

Yun Shan, a disciple of the Yun family, looked at them. One of the men said, "I know you, Yun Shan. You are one of the best in the Yun family. I don't know how you got to where you are today. Of course, it may be that your Yun family is really out of people. Before I die, I will let you know clearly. My name is Wang An!"

As soon as the voice fell, the Yun family disciples widened their eyes. It turned out to be Wang An. They were not unfamiliar with this name. Wang An was a very talented disciple of the Wang family. The Wang family invested a lot of effort in him. They could also guess that Wang An would shine in the competition.

They just didn't expect that the Wang family would even use their last trump card to deal with the Yun family. They knew in their hearts that the Wang family was deliberately trying to kill them.

The incident at the time caused heavy casualties to the Yun family. Now that the Yun family has finally risen, the Wang family will naturally not give them any chances.

Fortunately, although Yunshan lacked experience, he had received several instructions from Qin Yixian and Yang Ling before. Facing the provocation from the other party, he remained calm.

The elder's look towards his disciples changed.

A few months ago, the strength these disciples showed was far behind what it is now. It was unbelievable that they could be so strong now.

This is all thanks to Yang Ling. If their strength had not suddenly increased, the other families would not have united to target the Wang family.

You know, Qin Yixian brought not only resources, but also many other aids. Under the leadership of Qin Yixian, the Yun family will only become stronger.

The other families wanted to suppress the Yun family before it fully rose. After all, in their opinion, no matter how strong the Yun family was, it would be difficult to compete with those big families with deep roots.

At this time, Yunshan's body was emitting white light. He held the crane in his arms and concentrated all his strength on his fist.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this punch is just an ordinary move, but to those who really know the business, this punch is incredibly powerful and difficult to defend against.

Everyone frowned, they didn't expect the Yun family to have such a strong person. Even some big families might not be able to cope with such a boxing style. (End of this chapter)
