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

"His strength is very strong and extraordinary. He can be compared with several large families." Yang Ling couldn't help but feel curious when he heard their words.

As for the city lord's daughter, could she be from this city? He wondered in his heart.

Originally they were going to go back, but now they accidentally came to the closed city. Yang Ling rubbed his eyebrows, he didn't expect it to be like this.

"It's actually him. You may not know that the big families you dealt with before are basically just in name only. The real ancient families disdain to fight with the outside world. And there is only one ancient family, and the head of the family is a woman!" Yang Ling looked at Qin Xiaoxiao curiously. How did she know so much?
The woman's name is Li Manyue.

Her fame was built step by step through her own efforts and she has never relied on others.

What's more, Li Manyue is extremely powerful, and it is no problem for her to easily crush several families.

Not long ago, Li Manyue accepted an apprentice, but no one knew his background. However, this person rose to prominence at an astonishing speed, and in a short period of time he carved out a world of his own.

Since then, Li Manyue's reputation has become even more prosperous. Now, she wants to accept another disciple, which is really surprising.

No wonder they made such a big fuss. Hearing Qin Xiaoxiao mention this, Yang Ling's eyes turned, thinking to himself that it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Why don't we go and join in the fun? Maybe we can see with our own eyes how powerful the person you are talking about is, and whether he is really as stunning as the rumors say!"

"Don't talk about you, I don't know when I can see her again!" Qin Xiaoxiao said word by word, her eyes full of determination. Ying Zheng said slowly:
"It just feels so-so. Let's hurry up and set off early. I'm still thinking about practicing!" Yang Ling was quite helpless about this. Ying Zheng was good at everything except practicing.

The group hurried on and finally arrived at the sealed city. As Yang Ling expected, there were huge crowds of people here, including a large number of cultivators, who all came here to see Li Manyue's true appearance.

"You may not know that the city lord's daughter is absolutely stunning! Very few people can see her true face, but those who have seen her will never forget her. Today we can finally see her!"

"Li Manyue has to show up in person. She is the only female head of a family in history. If she takes a fancy to you, how strong do you have to be?"

"Don't dream! His status is so noble, how can we ordinary people compare to him?"

"That's right, don't even think about it!"

Everyone was chattering.

Yang Ling and his group walked on the road, with outstanding temperament, attracting a lot of attention. Along the way, Yang Ling felt countless eyes on him, he put his hands behind his back, looking calm.

Afterwards, Yang Ling found a restaurant, and after sitting down, they ordered some food. After all, there was nowhere to go at the moment, so it would be better to stay here first and make plans after a short rest. Qin Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, and suddenly said:
"Why don't we stay and see what the city lord's daughter looks like, and the rumored Li Manyue!" Yang Ling was quite surprised after hearing this. Li Manyue had never cared much about anything, and now she actually offered to stay. It was really strange. Even Ying Zheng was tempted to stay.

"Why don't we stay here and watch the excitement before leaving!" Yang Ling pulled the corner of his mouth and had no choice but to agree. He gritted his teeth and muttered to himself: What's wrong with this group of people today? One by one, they all asked to stay?

Meanwhile, on the other side.

In the City Lord's Mansion, a woman sat there with a calm expression. Yang Ling's figure kept appearing in her mind. If Yang Ling hadn't saved her, she might have died! At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Is the senior here?" The next second, a tall and handsome young man walked in. When he saw the woman, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"I have been ordered to come here to present you with a gift. I hope you can show me some favor!" This man is the city lord's son, Qiu Ze.

He was extremely excited, after all, the person in front of him was Li Manyue's apprentice. The woman calmly withdrew her gaze.

"I understand. You can give the things to others and then leave." Seeing that the woman didn't care about him, Qiu Ze felt somewhat dissatisfied. He walked a few steps and turned to look at the woman again.

"You have just arrived in the city, so you may not understand many things. How about I introduce them to you?"

"Or if you have anything you want to ask or say, just speak up!" The woman looked up and met his gaze, feeling a little unhappy.

"You're really too noisy!" After saying that, she threw her hand and pushed Qiu Ze out. Qiu Ze clenched his fists, suppressed the anger in his heart, and muttered to himself:

"I thought the rumors were just rumors, but I didn't expect it to be true. I'm not bad looking, so how could I not be in her eyes?" After saying that, he turned and left.

A few days passed quickly.

Finally, the day of apprenticeship arrived. The city lord sat at the top, his eyes full of excitement. It was not for anything else, but because his daughter Qiu Rourou was favored by Li Manyue and wanted to be brought back to the ancient family.

This was a good thing that they could not even imagine. Perhaps the entire Fengcheng could be compared with some families, but compared with those powerful families, it was still far behind.

In recent years, the closure of the city has gradually fallen behind. Qiu Rourou's being noticed is undoubtedly a brand new opportunity.

Qiu Rourou, dressed in a black dress, stood up slowly. Everyone's eyes fell on her. As expected, as the outside world said, Qiu Rourou had an excellent appearance. Her status was already unmatched, and now she has reached a height that ordinary people can hardly reach.

Yang Ling and others stood in the crowd and watched from afar. He secretly sighed in his heart:
"The city lord's daughter is indeed beautiful, but what is so special about her that she was chosen?" Yang Ling made a bold guess. It must be said that the city lord's daughter is indeed more beautiful than ordinary people, but from the perspective of strength, there is nothing special about her.

At this time, the city lord suddenly stood up and said calmly:
"Today is the day my daughter becomes my apprentice, so I specially invite Li Manyue's apprentice to take care of this matter!" As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at each other, unable to react for a while.

Immediately afterwards, discussions broke out one after another.

"It's her! She's actually going to participate, this is really strange!"

"I've never heard of her participating in any activities before! Now she's coming, how can it not be novel!"

"Besides, I heard that she is more beautiful than the city lord's daughter. I can finally meet her in person!"

Many people came here for Li Manyue. Now that Li Manyue is not here, it’s good to see her apprentice.

Although Li Manyue's apprentice appeared out of nowhere and only showed extraordinary talent during this period of time, her abilities are no longer what they used to be.

What's more, she is Li Manyue's apprentice! What this identity means is self-evident.

Various factors made her more eye-catching, and many people stared with wide eyes, afraid of missing something. Yang Ling observed the reactions of the crowd, thinking, and couldn't help asking:
"Who is this person? They seem very interested. Is she some big shot?" The people around him couldn't believe what Yang Ling said. "You didn't know about this all along, did you? It's such a pity that you didn't know about such a powerful person! She is extremely powerful and has extraordinary skills..."

"She is the strongest person here!"

"Compared to Yang Ling from the Yun family, who is better?" Yang Ling thought this was quite interesting. He never paid much attention to what was happening outside and he had never heard of the woman in front of him.

"Oh, you mean Yang Ling from the Yun family? Yang Ling's strength is indeed not to be underestimated. However, if he were to face Li Manyue's apprentice, I'm afraid it would be evenly matched. Li Manyue's apprentice is nicknamed 'Bloodthirsty' and he is rising very quickly. In my opinion, Yang Ling may not be able to beat him!" The man spoke word by word.

When Yang Ling heard what he said, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

“From what you said, it seems like you know Yang Ling quite well!” The man looked Yang Ling up and down. Seeing that he had an outstanding temperament and extraordinary conversation, he must be a master. After pondering for a moment, he said, “I only know a little bit, but I don’t know the rest.”

Yang Ling couldn't help but ask: "Then tell me, what kind of person is Yang Ling?" If someone could see Yang Ling's strength, they would know how powerful he is and how frightening he is.

The man felt a chill on his back and said quickly, "We are far away from those big families. Yang Ling was just an outer disciple of the Qin family. Although Yang Ling is very powerful and has killed many people in succession, everyone here still agrees that the Bloodthirsty is stronger and no one can match him."

Yang Ling nodded calmly and retracted his gaze, but he was curious about who this bloodthirsty man was.

At this time, a strong breath came from afar. It was not obvious at first, but the continuous breath brought a strong sense of crisis.

Everyone looked around, unable to figure out what was going on.

"What happened? Is Li Manyue's apprentice so powerful?"

"This is too strong!"

They talked about it, their hearts full of emotion. Yang Ling frowned, he was sure that this aura did not come from Li Manyue's apprentice.

No matter how strong Li Manyue is, this strong murderous intent could not possibly come from him alone; it must be emanating from many people.

The city lord's face changed and he immediately realized that it was someone from the secret door.

"What are you still doing here?!"

Everyone took action immediately, even the guards of the City Lord's Mansion ran out, and instantly formed a huge protective shield that enveloped everyone.

"I say, your daughter should go back, it would be much better. Besides, our secret door is not bad, why not join us?"

The light immediately turned into a stream of air, and the surroundings suddenly became chaotic. Unexpectedly, the person behind the secret door was hiding nearby, and Yang Ling clenched his fists.

However, to Yang Ling's surprise, the old man had been following them.

The old man quickly stood up and stood in front of the person at the secret door.

"You are a bunch of murderous demons. You are so abominable. I didn't expect you to pursue me so relentlessly. Don't worry, I will definitely take your lives from now on!"

The old man spoke word by word, his eyes revealing an unprecedented firmness.

The moment Yang Ling saw the old man, he was really shocked. He had no idea when this old man caught up with him.

When the person at the secret door heard the old man's voice, he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became sinister and vicious.

"You, the Tang Sect, have really been hiding in the back like cowards all this time. Why do you come out and interfere now? Since you are facing our secret door, I will definitely take your life..." He shouted loudly. Many people's faces turned pale. They wanted to find out who was talking, but they had no idea where he had gone.

The old man seemed to have heard a joke. He wanted to kill these people with his own strength. He took action directly, and a golden talisman appeared in his hand. The aura released by it knocked everyone away. Some people with weaker strength were directly rushed out by this aura.

In front of a true strong man, these people who are not strong enough cannot save their own lives at all, so they don't need to take action at all.

The old man was furious, and those people were frightened and took a few steps back. Yang Ling was thoughtful, he didn't expect that the people who came from the secret door this time were so powerful.

Normally, he would not easily attack, after all, the people who came were not simple, and they would be killed if they were not careful. But the old man was obviously determined to kill the people at the secret door.

Even the guards sent by the City Lord's Mansion were almost outnumbered by the people who came through the secret door.

For a while, screams came one after another. The city lord was naturally not idle either, and his main task was to protect his daughter! Sun Yao's face was pale. No matter how weak the people who came were, they were at a higher level than her. Now she was afraid that she could not help much.

"Young Master, what should we do? Do you need my help?" Yang Ling glanced at Li Manyue and said to her.

"You just help here first and ensure their safety. She should be able to protect you by then!" Li Manyue was more disdainful in her heart. The people around her were all strong, so why did she still need their protection?

Yang Ling raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect so many people to come at once. It seems that the city lord's daughter is not as simple as she seems, she must be of great value.

Of course, none of this matters now. It would be a good thing if we could repel all these people; if not, it would be a huge massacre.

They had a little smile on their faces.

The city lord's daughter was protected by a group of people. She didn't want to leave. At this moment, a fast figure appeared out of nowhere and came in front of her.

Just when she was trembling with fear, a man fell from the sky.

"You people from the secret door are really disgusting! I didn't expect you to do such shameful things. It's really surprising!" The man calmly withdrew his hand.

"I've heard that Li Manyue's disciple is very powerful, and it turns out to be just as the rumors say. We in the Dark Gate cannot compare to Li Manyue, but to deal with Li Manyue's disciple, we have more than enough people in the Dark Gate!" Everyone looked up. They didn't expect that Li Manyue's disciple would appear at this time.

The man was wearing a purple suit, and his aura was beyond comparison. (End of this chapter)
