My father is the main character, but the female leads want to kill me.

On the Tianli Academy's side, when Dean Wenling saw that this madman from the dangerous triangle area actually dared to challenge the prestige of Lü Tiancheng from the Shengqiong Academy, he couldn't help but say to the others, "It seems we'll see Lü Tiancheng make a move!"

"What an arrogant brat!" Yue Jinling said disdainfully, arms crossed.

Lin Chong, however, saw his father's silhouette in the man's back. He quickly shook his head, thinking to himself, "I'm going crazy thinking about my father. How could these guys in the dangerous triangle be my father!"

Many onlookers thought Lin Ran would be struck down by Lü Tiancheng and become one of the corpses scattered on the ground, but reality is often too dramatic.

They watched helplessly as the carriage, imbued with the aura of Lü Tiancheng, was smashed to pieces by the madman. Inside the carriage was no one, only a huge, colorful pearl, and within that pearl, the figure of Lü Tiancheng was faintly coalescing.

The aura of the Dragon Transformation Realm was simulated using this precious pearl.

Upon seeing this, the "madman" roared at the top of his lungs, "Brothers and sisters, stop the fuck fighting! That son of a bitch from Holy Dome Academy isn't here. This is fake. We've been tricked!"

The sound was truly deafening, earth-shattering, and resounding, striking at the heart!

Many people present were stunned, staring blankly at the broken carriage. They had been cautiously observing for a long time, realizing that this group from the Holy Sky Academy was just a prelude.

The people from Holy Sky Academy were also dumbfounded. How the hell are these people in the dangerous triangle so bold? They dared to attack a carriage belonging to a Dragon Transformation Realm cultivator. How are they supposed to stall for time now?!

A moment later, another voice rang out from the crowd: "Lu Tiancheng from the Holy Sky Academy has left through the South Gate! People from the Medicine King Sect, the Nebula Pavilion, and the Spirit Treasure Sect are leading the pursuit! Brothers and sisters, charge!"

Dean Wenling of Tianli Academy reacted quickly, shouting, "We really fell for that bastard Lü Tiancheng's trick! We've all been lured away from our mountain! I knew that old guy was cunning and arrogant; he was using such a tactic!"

Wenling had no time to regret it. He quickly led his team towards the south gate of Dancheng. Many powerful forces in the dangerous triangle area were not stupid. They realized they had been tricked and immediately led their teams back to the south gate.

Looking at the forest that had suddenly become much emptier, Lin Ran, behind one of the trees, couldn't help but laugh and say, "This is going to be interesting at the South Gate!"

.......

25. Xin Zhiqing, who was arrested.

On this day, a scene unfolded in the skies above Dan City: a massive crowd surged toward the North Gate. After a while, many of the crowd even disregarded Dan City's no-fly rule, flying directly through the airspace above Dan City and speeding toward the South Gate.

Even though they couldn't fly, those on the ground were no less formidable. They charged headlong into the south gate, throwing the entire city of Dan into chaos. Shouts, curses, and sounds of fighting filled the air, plunging the city into disorder.

The Medicine King Sect guards in the city immediately went to quell the riots that occurred in various parts of the city, but Dan City is so big that even the group of Medicine King Sect members who pretended to chase the guest elders of the Holy Sky Academy at the north gate of the city could not quell the riots.

Upon their return, they joined in quelling the unrest in Dan City, but with only a small number of guards and a group of guest elders, it was still difficult to quell the unrest in the city in a short time.

In the bustling central district of Dancheng, many large shops have chosen to close today, mainly because they are afraid of being affected by the bloodshed after the auction. They would rather close for a few days to ensure their safety. This simple principle of seeking advantage and avoiding harm is something that these old hands who have been in the dangerous triangle area for many years certainly understand.

Guangmingtang was also closed today, disappointing many who wanted to take advantage of the chaos.

With the support of the Medicine King Sect, Guangming Hall is naturally wealthy and powerful. The protective formation activated after the gates are closed is not something that ordinary people can break through.

However, if someone were to enter Guangming Hall, they would find that the entire interior of Guangming Hall was almost empty, with no medicinal herbs or pills to be seen. And a few hundred meters away from Guangming Hall, in a dilapidated and deserted house, Xin Zhiqing, dressed in a black outfit, was digging in the soil.

After digging a hole with a shovel, Xin Zhiqing threw a box covered with runes into the hole, then covered it with soil and concealed it. Only then did she slowly breathe a sigh of relief, casually sit down on the ground, and wipe the fine beads of sweat from her face with her sleeve.

Listening to the deafening noise outside, Xin Zhiqin murmured to herself, "It's so chaotic outside, it seems like it's started. I hope that bastard can come back alive and get these things!"

She stood up and couldn't help but take a deep breath. The mountains undulated violently, and she felt incredibly nervous about what she was about to do.

"Zhiqing, for your father and husband, you can definitely do it!"

Xin Zhiqing cheered herself up in her heart. Even though she knew that this trip might cost her her life, she still went on without hesitation, supported entirely by the hatred in her heart.

……

Wen Qianyi, who was monitoring the area near the Medicine King Sect, witnessed firsthand how the once orderly street had been disrupted by people from the North Gate who had barged through and caused chaos, turning the place into a battleground.

The people in the Danger Triangle were originally a bunch of madmen. If it weren't for the fact that Dan City had a first-class power like the Medicine King Sect to suppress them and establish rules, these madmen would probably have started fighting long ago. Now that most of the Medicine King Sect's experts have left, and the remaining ones can't be suppressed either, the already explosive powder keg has completely exploded.

Wen Qianyi was also affected in the vicinity and was forced to move to another observation point. She was actually very curious whether Xin Zhiqing would take advantage of the chaos to destroy the Medicine King Sect's old home, as her senior had said, and whether the Medicine King Sect had prepared manpower within the sect in advance to deal with Xin Zhiqing.

Just as Wen Qianyi was pondering, she noticed that amidst the chaos, a slightly plump woman took advantage of the confusion to sneak towards the main headquarters of the Medicine King Sect, and thus slipped into the sect through the main gate.

Seeing this, Wen Qianyi quickly concealed her aura and secretly followed.

"Huh~"

Xin Zhiqing slipped into the Medicine King Sect through the main gate. Following a plan she had meticulously prepared, she made her way to a storage room on the outskirts of the sect. She wanted to catch her breath, but was afraid of making any noise, so she covered her mouth with her hand and tried to regulate her rapid breathing. Her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her throat. The extreme tension made her mind somewhat unclear.

She shook her head vigorously, trying to focus her attention on the task at hand. She took out a map from her spatial ring, a detailed topographical map of the entire Medicine King Sect headquarters, which she had painstakingly figured out. Her major task this time was to find a way to blow up the Medicine King Sect, especially its warehouse.

If successful, the Medicine King Sect would suffer a severe blow. She knew that with her strength at the first or second level of the Spirit Pill Realm, she was not good at fighting and had no chance of defeating the guest elders of the Medicine King Sect. This was the only way she could do it.

"The Medicine King Sect's warehouse... ordinary... valuable..."

Xin Zhiqing looked at the locations of the Medicine King Sect's various levels of warehouses on the map and memorized them once again. After a while, she put away the map and walked out of the main entrance of the storage room.

At this time, the Medicine King Sect was not completely empty; there were still quite a few subordinates with low strength remaining in the sect.

These things weren't a problem for Xin Zhiqin. If she were discovered, she could take care of the other party immediately.

Upon arriving at the first warehouse, after dealing with the disciple guarding it, Xin Zhiqing immediately entered the enormous warehouse and took out a bag of small metal balls from her spatial ring.

These small balls are smooth and round, shimmering with a silvery luster. They look like ordinary iron balls, but if you use your soul power to sense them, you can feel the surging energy contained within. If this energy were to explode, it might really blow this warehouse to smithereens.

After quickly placing the small metal balls in various locations throughout the warehouse, Xin Zhiqing left the warehouse and hurried to the next one.

With its abundant wealth, the Medicine King Sect built many warehouses, and the defenses were quite good. Under normal circumstances, Xin Zhiqing's actions would probably have been discovered by the Medicine King Sect's experts very quickly. However, now that everyone was attracted away by the tree heart fragment, Xin Zhiqing could travel unimpeded.

Moreover, it went far too smoothly, so smoothly that even Xin Zhiqin herself found it hard to believe. The elders guarding the warehouse of valuables were actually dispatched.

"It seems that the chaos inside and outside the city has really drawn all the power of the Medicine King Sect out," Xin Zhiqing thought to herself.

She then arrived at the most important warehouse of the Medicine King Sect, located in the heart of the sect's territory. The warehouse was built right next to the mountain, and the stone gate at the entrance was protected by a powerful array. Elders at the Spirit Pill Realm were also guarding the warehouse.

This warehouse can only be opened with the token of the Spirit Pill Realm elder guarding it. Xin Zhiqing had previously obtained the elder's token through seduction and learned about the array structure inside. She went back and tried to inscribe the array herself. After many failures, she finally replicated the elder's token.

Xin Zhiqing hid in the woods near the warehouse. After confirming several times that there was no one at the warehouse entrance, she crouched down and approached the warehouse door. When she felt the powerful protective array on the heavy stone door, she couldn't help but sigh, "The Medicine King Sect really takes this very seriously!"

This level of protective array can even protect against attacks from those at the Dragon Transformation Realm. If she hadn't obtained the Elder's Token, she probably would have been powerless to do anything about this warehouse.

Taking out her self-made elder token, Xin Zhiqing placed it in front of the door. The array on it lit up with a bluish-green light, and with a muffled sound, the stone door slowly opened to both sides. She immediately went inside, and when she saw the warehouse, she was shocked.

The walls and floors of this entire warehouse are paved with extremely expensive white jade, which is not only beautiful but also transforms the storage environment, making the place full of spiritual energy. Even if medicinal herbs are placed directly, their medicinal properties will not be lost, and the storage time of the herbs can be extended.

"Jade Dragon Bone Grass... Origin Wood Spirit Root... Blood Demon Grass!"

Xin Zhiqing was deeply shocked as she looked at the precious medicinal herbs, pills, cultivation techniques, and martial arts skills displayed on the shelves, which made her already tense heartbeat even faster.

"Hey little blonde, done watching? If you're done, it's time to hit the road!"

Just as she stood there in a daze, an old voice came from behind her, causing Xin Zhiqing to freeze in place. Her heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment, as if someone had stepped on a hard brake.

She turned around with difficulty, and before she knew it, an old man dressed in an alchemist's robe appeared behind her. The old man's face was so thin that it seemed to be nothing but skin and bones, and he gave people the feeling of a candle flickering in the wind.

However, Xin Zhiqing met this old man by chance. The old man's surname was Heng, and she only knew that everyone called him Elder Heng. He was the guardian of this warehouse, and most importantly, he was a Nirvana Realm cultivator.

Xin Zhiqing felt as if she had fallen into an abyss. Her body felt completely cold. She thought of a way and immediately rushed into the warehouse, throwing streams of spiritual energy onto the pills and herbs. She frantically took out the small metal balls and threw them around. She immediately tried to use her soul power to detonate everything that had been set up.

Elder Heng shook his head, then stretched out his old, wrinkled right hand, a large, azure-blue spiritual energy hand that precisely grabbed Xin Zhiqing, who was trying to cause trouble inside.

Xin Zhiqing, who was being held by a powerful spiritual force, tried to resist, but when she saw that the hastily thrown metal balls had not detonated, and there was no explosion as expected from the other warehouses, she was completely stunned.

"Why...why didn't my Exploding Thunder explode?" Xin Zhiqing murmured in despair.

Elder Heng brought Xin Zhiqing before him. Upon hearing Xin Zhiqing's words, he seemed to have heard something amusing and couldn't help but let out a very unpleasant laugh: "Hehehe!"

Do you know why your explosive detonators didn't detonate?

Elder Heng gently twitched his right hand, revealing a pile of iron pieces that fell to the ground. The sound of metal clashing rang in Xin Zhiqing's ears. When she saw the broken explosive thunderbolts through her disheveled hair, even the most foolish person would realize what was happening.

"So this was a trap? Your Medicine King Sect was just waiting for me to fall into it, wasn't it!" Xin Zhiqing shouted hoarsely at Elder Heng.

Elder Heng's face broke into a terrifying smile. He enjoyed Xin Zhiqin's desperate look and said, "You think too highly of yourself. Old Man Mei guessed long ago that you wouldn't be at ease, so he specifically instructed me to keep an eye on you."

Sure enough, you came in and caused some minor trouble as promised. I even gave you a smooth ride, but the way you were as cautious as a mouse piqued my interest. Suddenly, I don't want to kill you so hastily anymore. I'm going to use you as a medicinal cauldron. What do you say? I don't have a fifth-tier alchemist's cauldron, you know!

When Xin Zhiqing heard these words, she felt an indescribable despair, and two lines of tears slid down her face. Seeing Xin Zhiqing like this, Elder Heng became even more unscrupulous.

That grating laughter echoed through the woods…

……

26. What happened to my home?

The Medicine Cauldron is a very sinister method of alchemy. It uses the human body as a furnace and feeds "medicines" through the human body as a medium. These medicines are special demonic beasts. The Medicine Cauldron is used to cultivate these special demonic beasts, and eventually, pills will be produced in the bodies of these special demonic beasts. Taking these pills can greatly enhance one's strength and soul.

However, the person who serves as the medicine cauldron suffers even more horrifying torment. They have to endure these demonic beasts inside their bodies, gnawing at their flesh, soul, and bones, and drinking their life essence. This inhuman torture can be described as cruel and inhumane.

As a major force in the dangerous triangle area, the Medicine King Sect must have mastered this unorthodox method of alchemy, and Elder Heng seems to be one of the best at it.

Xin Zhiqing had already given up on life; her eyes were filled with despair. Only then did she realize how foolish and insignificant she was in the eyes of these people.

"Don't cry, little girl. Get ready to face my precious snake later!" Elder Heng was overjoyed. He put Xin Zhiqing aside and didn't seal her strength, just left her there casually.

He wasn't afraid the girl would run away. Although his strength was only at the first or second level of the Nirvana Realm, he was more than capable of dealing with Spirit Pill Realm cultivators who didn't have much combat ability. In fact, he was hoping Xin Zhiqin would run away, since the cat-and-mouse game was the most interesting part.

"Close this door first. This girl is really amazing. She can even make a copy of this elder's token. That's a bit unexpected!" Elder Heng glanced at Xin Zhiqing, who was slumped on the ground looking lost and dejected. He admired her for that, since array formations were a higher entry barrier than alchemists.

While the number of advanced alchemists is relatively small, compared to advanced formation masters, the number is more than double, demonstrating just how rare advanced formation masters are.

Elder Heng walked to the door and was about to close it with his token when he was startled by a chilling aura of death emanating from behind him. He instinctively rolled to the right, but his reaction was too slow. His left arm was severed by the bluish-red blade. The blade continued its momentum, rushing into the warehouse and destroying the shelves along its path. It finally dissipated after hitting the white jade wall.

"what!"

Elder Heng rolled to the ground next to the gate, letting out a miserable wail. He clutched the wound on his left arm, but hot blood gushed out of the smooth wound like a fountain, and soon the ground was a pool of bright red blood.

These shrill screams pulled Xin Zhiqin back from her daze. She looked in the direction of the screams and saw that Elder Heng, whom she thought she could not defeat, was now rolling on the ground, covered in blood, and Elder Heng's arm lay in front of the warehouse door.

Xin Zhiqing suddenly realized that someone was rescuing her. She tried to stand up, but her legs were too weak and she quickly collapsed back down.

A figure approached Xin Zhiqin and extended a hand: "Get up quickly, there are still things that need your attention!"

“Ah…Oh!”

Xin Zhiqing finally managed to stand up with the help of that hand. When she looked at the person in front of her, she subconsciously said, "It's you!"

To her surprise, the person who saved her was the woman who was with Mr. Mengde. She was also an alchemist, but her strength was... amazing!

Wen Qianyi took out a heavy bag and threw it to Xin Zhiqing: "Go to that warehouse and collect the things. Collect the most valuable things first. If you can't collect them, destroy them, understand?"

"Pack...pack things?"

Xin Zhiqing took the heavy bag and before she could react, she saw the woman rush up to fight Elder Heng.

Seeing the open warehouse door, Xin Zhiqing finally understood. She hurriedly ran inside and put all kinds of treasures into her spatial ring. Once one was full, she would put the next one in. If the whole bag was full, it didn't matter, she had her own spatial ring.

As the owner of Guangmingtang, she had used many of the space rings used to store goods, but still had quite a few left. Even so, one-third of the goods in the warehouse had not yet been received.
