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

"When did you become like those scumbags, so sentimental? We are the strongest; when did we need to associate with just anyone?" Yang Ling's gaze fell on the man, who swallowed back the words he was about to say. The man was right; they didn't need that so-called empathy, and Yang Ling was correct.

"We're so powerful, the Dark Gate people will come too, so we don't need to contact them!" Yang Ling gave the order directly, looking at the man. Blame them for their actions; they surrendered, yet they harmed their own people—utterly shameless. Yang Ling wouldn't have the heart to deal with ordinary people, but dealing with these traitors was no problem for him. Just then, he sensed a powerful aura, and from that aura, he felt fear. It seemed this person must be Qiu Tian, ​​the young master behind him.

"How's the task I asked you to do going? Why are you so slow!" This person possessed a method of transmitting messages, which Yang Ling also knew about, and only those with great strength could use it.

“We’re almost ready and making progress, but we need a lot of resources, so we need to capture more people…” the man explained, since he couldn’t reveal Yang Ling’s identity, so he could only express it tactfully.

"Alright, I don't want to hear any more of your nonsense. You need to deal with these people as soon as possible. When we're stronger, we'll be even more powerful!" Yang Ling had originally wanted to get the man's hiding place out of him, but he hadn't gotten anything. However, he could tell that this man definitely had a bigger conspiracy, whether it was within the Qin family or some other family, he thought it was possible.

Yang Ling only spoke after the man finished speaking and she felt the aura disappear.

"This person is your young master? Can just anyone call themselves a young master these days?!" The man nodded hurriedly, unsure how to explain.

"I'm planning to go out for a walk. Don't let anyone bother me during this time. Besides, your inability to find so many sources is your own fault!" Yang Ling said, then prepared to leave. Watching Yang Ling's retreating figure, the man's heart skipped a beat, wondering whether he should accompany Yang Ling.

"Young Master Xie, shall I go with you?"

"When did I ever need anyone to accompany me!" The man's words startled him, after all, he would be following Yang Ling in the future. If Yang Ling could return to his family, following him would definitely make him stronger. Besides, the strength in this place was too weak; he didn't want to stay here forever, but wanted to break through to a higher realm. After Yang Ling left, he made sure those people couldn't sense his aura before returning to his original form.

His inner energy surged, indicating he needed to find a lively place. Yang Ling searched the map and found a place called the Underground City, where there were many powerful people. The Dark Gate had been entrenched there for a long time, and he had heard earlier that, to prevent a repeat of the previous situation, they wanted to take lives as soon as possible. Yang Ling decided to head to the Underground City. He moved extremely fast and arrived there quickly.

He saw these people trying to break through the barrier of the secret door. The person above looked down at them, emanating a terrifying aura.

"We need to speed things up, these people are too slow!" Fei Tian came here to lure Yang Ling out. He couldn't wait to get rid of Yang Ling; if Yang Ling came, he would eliminate him; if Yang Ling didn't come, he would refine all these people into their source, which would also benefit them.

"We'll wait for them here. If he doesn't come, he probably won't dare!" He couldn't wait to grab Yang Ling. In his eyes, what was Yang Ling anyway? What right did he have to be loved by so many people? Besides, he felt that those people had been deceived by Yang Ling; Yang Ling's strength was inferior to his own. Those people tried to break the formation, but to no avail. The people from the Dark Gate were using deadly force.

"What should we do now? These people from the Dark Gate are too ruthless. They trapped us here with an array and want to get rid of us. What are we going to do now?!"

"Yeah, they've really gone too far. I just can't accept it. What if we can't get out?"

"What else can we do? Don't you know? A few days ago, they killed many people like us! What they did is outrageous, we'll lose our lives too..." They didn't want to die at the hands of the Dark Gate. As long as they broke through this barrier, they could escape to a safe place. Yang Ling didn't expect that as soon as he arrived, he would find these people willingly contributing their essence.

"As long as that savior can save us, and he needs the Source, we can provide it!"

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Yang Ling's lips. He stepped forward, already sensing an extremely powerful aura ahead; the owner of that aura was undoubtedly a formidable figure. In the past, Yang Ling might not have dared to engage in a direct, head-on battle with such a person. But now, his cultivation level was far beyond what it used to be; he possessed sufficient strength to deal with these individuals.

Yang Ling wasn't too worried about the rest.

At the same time, Fei Tian also perked up. He too sensed a powerful figure approaching him, stronger than any opponent he had ever encountered before. He looked up, thinking to himself, "Could it be that old guy?" But he quickly realized, "This person can't be that old guy. Then who could it be? Could it be the mysterious person from that day?"

He sensed an improvement in his cultivation level and quickly charged forward. In an instant, a powerful aura erupted from him. He laughed heartily, and a large blade appeared out of thin air in his hand, slashing fiercely towards the approaching figure. Yang Ling, undaunted, met the attack head-on. The two shockwaves collided violently, sending Fei Tian flying. Yang Ling's strength, compared to before, made him seem even more invincible.

"You actually managed to break what I had so easily, that's quite impressive!" During his fight with Yang Ling, Fei Tian stared intently at him and sneered, "You've improved your cultivation level so quickly, it seems I underestimated you before. However, with your current level, you're far from being comparable to me, I'm much stronger than you!" Yang Ling's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of disdain.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I've never met anyone like you. Today, I'll use you as practice, as my whetstone!" Yang Ling was filled with disdain, thinking that Fei Tian thought he was someone important, daring to be so arrogant. Even that old guy wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of him. He roared and charged towards Yang Ling again, clearly intending to defeat him. In his view, if Yang Ling couldn't even withstand this, it proved that Yang Ling's strength was too weak. But Yang Ling remained expressionless and unresponsive. The powerful aura emanating from the two as they clashed also attracted the attention of others, who subconsciously looked up to watch.

"Has someone even more powerful arrived? This aura is too strong; it must be someone from the Dark Gate!"

"We're completely finished now! They're too strong; we're no match for them. What are we going to do?!" "Won't something bad happen? I can't even imagine what will happen if something really goes wrong!"

"Yeah, I'm a little worried too. It would be troublesome if something really happened!" Everyone chimed in, pondering countermeasures. However, someone quickly realized that the aura didn't belong to anyone from the Dark Gate. One of them, looking at the aura emanating from Yang Ling, suddenly exclaimed, "I understand! I know who this person is! It's Yang Ling, it must be him! I'm very familiar with his aura; he's the one who saved us before!" Hearing this, the others were immediately excited, their faces beaming with happiness. Before, they had been skeptical of Yang Ling, but now they realized how powerful he was, and how he could fight the Dark Gate members to a standstill.

"If he wins, we'll be saved and never be threatened again. That would be fantastic!"

"That's right, that's right! This guy saved us! We might even be able to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!" Everyone eagerly offered their own source energy, while Yang Ling was visibly excited. With this source energy, his strength would become even greater. During the fight, Fei Tian discovered that Yang Ling was much stronger than he had imagined, at least significantly stronger than ordinary people. He couldn't believe his eyes, muttering to himself, "How can his strength be so great, and to have reached such a level? This is not something an ordinary person can do. I wonder what we should do next!"

"He definitely won't lose. Don't boost his morale and diminish your own, okay? No matter how strong he is, he'll definitely win!" Fei Tian gritted his teeth, thinking to himself, this person is actually stronger than me, which would have been absolutely impossible in the past. How did he do it? How could he be so powerful? It's unbelievable.

He stared intently at Yang Ling, trying to find a flaw in Yang Ling's expression, but Yang Ling remained expressionless. Taking advantage of Yang Ling's inattention, Fei Tian suddenly rushed in front of Yang Ling, thinking that Yang Ling was doomed. But unexpectedly, Yang Ling instantly appeared behind him.

"You're too green to deal with me. Your strength is no match for mine, so don't even think about it!" Yang Ling said, word by word, before drawing his sword and thrusting it fiercely at Fei Tian.

The pain almost made Fei Tian faint, but fortunately he reacted quickly and dodged again. Watching Yang Ling's movements, a sense of lingering fear welled up in his heart. He felt that Yang Ling seemed to be able to predict his actions, and no matter what he did, Yang Ling could react in time.

The key was that Yang Ling seemed like a mysterious figure who had fallen from the sky, and Fei Tian didn't know how to defeat him. He knew Yang Ling was not easy to deal with, and if things continued like this, he would surely die. Therefore, he decided to unleash his full power to kill Yang Ling. He increased his speed, pushing it to its limit, so that he could skillfully deal with any attack he might face.

As he moved, Yang Ling sensed his power and charged forward once more.

However, Yang Ling's palm strike seemed light and airy. Yang Ling knew that Fei Tian could create countless clones, making it extremely difficult to catch him. Fei Tian burst into laughter: "You can't possibly deal with me now. Do you really think you have that ability? Let me tell you, you're still too weak in front of me!" he said directly.

Yang Ling, however, seemed to have heard a joke, thinking that comparing Fei Tian to him was simply absurd. In his eyes, Fei Tian was less than an ant in front of him. As he finished speaking, he remained calm and said, "Do you really think you have that kind of strength? Let me tell you straight, you are no match for me, so don't think too much about it!" Seeing this, the others were all worried for Yang Ling and began to discuss among themselves.

"I feel that person is too strong. The power he exudes is beyond what ordinary people can compare to. Will Yang Ling lose just like that?"

"Probably not. He's very strong. I believe he has the ability to defeat the opponent."

"Don't say anything discouraging! How could he be weak?" The crowd was extremely agitated. At this moment, Yang Ling arrived behind Fei Tian. His purpose was clear: to eliminate Fei Tian. Seeing this, the others felt a chill run down their spines.

"Who do you think will win? I have a feeling Yang Ling is in danger!"

"If we can't catch the opponent at all, won't we be completely dominated?"

"What should we do if he loses?"

"If he loses, we'll be at their mercy from now on!"

Everyone was talking at once, when one of them suddenly blurted out, his voice loud and deep, his eyes filled with determination: "What do you know? How could we possibly lose? That man in black robes appeared out of nowhere and saved us at the last second. He is our savior, our great hero!" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent and did not say another word.

"This guy won't lose; he'll fight Fei Tian to the very end. We've been bullied by Fei Tian for so long, and now someone's finally standing up for us."

"Now, with overwhelming force, he has led us back to the top!" he declared, his words resounding with confidence and ambition, a truly inspiring statement. The crowd looked troubled; Yang Ling's presence made them feel inferior.

Seeing this, Yang Ling thought to himself, "There are still some smart people among these people." The next second, he swung his fist towards Fei Tian. Although he missed, Yang Ling wasn't afraid. Each of his punches was fast and ruthless, unleashing all his power. Even the heavens and earth couldn't withstand this aura; the earth trembled, and Fei Tian had nowhere to escape. He gritted his teeth and fled quickly. "Let me tell you, no matter what tricks you use, it's useless. Don't waste your energy; you're no match for me." He laughed heartily, curious how long Yang Ling could last.

Yang Ling sneered and immediately increased his speed, throwing punches. He defeated Fei Tian's clones one by one, and Fei Tian sensed something was amiss. Fei Tian's speed gradually couldn't keep up with Yang Ling's, and a panic gripped him. Before he could react, Yang Ling was already in front of him. Yang Ling's lips curled into a smile as he drew his sword and slashed down at him. He gathered his aura, unleashing his full power; he had waited a long time for this moment. (End of Chapter)
