This man probably won't be able to hold on for much longer, so there's no need for me to take action. Let these two junior sisters finish the fight.
His own battle record does not lack an ordinary early-stage Body Tempering Realm warrior, but these two junior sisters do. The more practical experience the better, and this kind of cross-level confrontation experience is even more rare.
Finally, after a long period of torture, the man could no longer resist the coldness in his body and fell to the ground stiffly.
Qian Lin was also unwilling to end the fight quickly, otherwise she would have chopped off the man's head with a sword. What she wanted was to capture him alive, so she chose this extremely time-consuming fighting method, slowly eroding the man with the Xuanming spiritual energy until he could not resist and fell to the ground.
Emerald green vines immediately emerged from the soil and pierced the man's joints. Facing this enemy, Ye Qiuhan would not be soft-hearted or careless.
"He seems to be dying. His body temperature is so low." After depriving the man of all his ability to resist, Ye Qiuhan dared to step forward to check on the man's condition. As soon as she saw him, she shouted out.
Frost had begun to form on the man's face, and his breath was almost imperceptible. If he was left there, he would probably freeze to death soon.
"Don't worry, you won't die." Qian Lin took back the spirit sword, walked to the man, put his hand on the man's shoulder, and drew out the mysterious spirit energy entrenched in the man's body, "That's it."
Seeing that Qian Lin had finished her work, the senior brother from Jian Zong clapped his hands and walked over, "As expected of Yao Chi's junior sister, you have such strength at such a young age, your future is really limitless."
The two girls in the middle stage of the Nourishing Mind Realm almost perfectly defeated an opponent in the early stage of the Body Tempering Realm. And he was not a fake, but a real opponent in the early stage of the Body Tempering Realm. This was considered a genius among geniuses.
These two junior sisters from Yao Chi are really powerful, much more powerful than myself. The disciple of Sword Sect shook his head, feeling a little envious.
Is this the true genius? It makes me not even feel jealous.
Even if he had watched the fight just now, he could only draw one perfect conclusion. Both Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan performed perfectly. The two of them cooperated seamlessly, as if they could hear each other's thoughts.
When Qian Lin is about to launch a powerful attack, Ye Qiuhan will immediately help Qian Lin control the man's movements so that Qian Lin's attack will not miss.
There was not even a bit of communication involved, it was all based on prediction.
As for Qian Lin's swordsmanship, the disciple of the Sword Sect could only say that he was not worthy of evaluating this mysterious swordsmanship. He just felt that if he stood opposite Qian Lin to deal with this strange swordsmanship, he might also lose miserably.
The two junior sisters will surely become great in the future, he secretly sighed in his heart.
"Brother, you are too kind. This man should be the one who tried to assassinate us yesterday. Could you please take him back and investigate his identity?" Ye Qiuhan pursed his lips, showing sufficient immunity to the compliments from the Sword Sect disciples.
"Of course." The Sword Sect disciple nodded. "Would you two sisters like to come together? We may have missed some of the questions we asked."
"Okay." Qian Lin agreed before Ye Qiuhan could react.
As she agreed, she took out a sack from her storage bag and motioned Ye Qiuhan to put the man into the sack, which seemed to be quite old.
"You are actually carrying this kind of thing?" Ye Qiuhan was almost shocked when he saw Qian Lin take out this thing. Is there any need to carry such a thing?
Scratching her head, Qian Lin said that this thing was her toy when she was a child, and those stupid boys in the Qian family were often beaten by her with a sack on their shoulders.
She has used many sacks since she was a child, and this sack was the last one she used. She left it in the storage bag as a souvenir. Now is the time for this thing to come in handy, isn't it?
"That makes a lot of sense. I don't know how to refute you." Ye Qiuhan resigned himself to helping Qian Lin put the still unconscious man into the sack, then looked at the Sword Sect disciple a little embarrassedly, "Brother, could you please carry him for me?"
"Haha, it's just a small matter. I can still carry a person." The Sword Sect disciple didn't find it strange. He enthusiastically carried the sack containing the person on his shoulders and said, "Let's go. The base is still a little far from here."
As he spoke, the disciple used the flying sword technique and flew into the sky on the flying sword.
After all, he was carrying a human-shaped sack on his shoulders. He couldn't really appear in front of passers-by like this, otherwise the image of the disciples of the holy land would be ruined.
Seeing that Senior Brother Jianzong had already ascended into the air on his flying sword, Ye Qiuhan, who had not drawn her sword just now, also took out her own sword and stepped on it. Then she turned around and looked at Qian Lin, "Want to join us?"
"My sword is still usable. There's no need for me to use a flying sword with you." Qian Lin shook his head, not understanding why Ye Qiuhan was crazy again.
"Hide your identity. You are now my weak and cold little sister who is powerless. Remember your character!"
Hiss... Qian Lin suddenly showed a surprised expression. Oh, she almost forgot about this. She is now playing the role of a weak sister.
Although she had just easily killed a killer in the Body Tempering Realm, she was really just an innocent little sister with no fighting ability.
Thinking of this, Qian Lin did not reject Ye Qiuhan's proposal and jumped lightly onto Ye Qiuhan's flying sword.
Since it was Ye Qiuhan's flying sword, it was naturally Ye Qiuhan who controlled it, while Qian Lin stood behind Ye Qiuhan, looking ahead with boredom.
Because of her height, she could only see the back of Ye Qiuhan's head which was covered by his black hair, which made her feel a little unhappy.
It was at this time that she became so clearly aware of her height problem.
After flying in the air for a short while, the Sword Sect disciple brought the two of them to a low-key yet connotative courtyard. This was the residence of the Holy Land disciples.
In addition to this Sword Sect disciple, there are three other disciples from the Holy Land living here. However, the enthusiasm of these three disciples is obviously not as high as that of the Sword Sect disciples.
Those who can come here to serve as garrison disciples are not ambitious people. It is good enough if they do not oppress the people in the city.
Following the Sword Sect disciples into the compound, Qian Lin first felt as if his entire body was seen through. Looking up, he saw the spiritual weapon used to detect evil.
Ye Qiuhan also felt this feeling, and noticed the ancient bronze mirror on the door at the same time as Qian Lin.
"It looks like a pure Yang spiritual weapon." Muttering softly, Ye Qiuhan uttered the name of a righteous holy place.
This holy land specializes in producing these spiritual weapons to fight against evil, and sales are extremely good. It is rumored that they are the richest sect among the holy lands of the righteous path, but it is not known whether it is true or not.
Walking a little further in, Qian Lin saw a woman in green who was sitting cross-legged in the air with her eyes closed, practicing. The aura she exuded was slightly weaker than that of the Sword Sect disciples, and she should be a cultivator in the late Body Tempering Realm.
Well, she is also an acquaintance who had met her once before.
"Liu Chang, are there guests coming?" This senior sister who should be from Penglai heard the noise of several people approaching and opened her eyes with some curiosity, "Is there... a person in here? When did you start kidnapping people?"
"Look at what you said. There is a killer here who wanted to attack these two sisters, but he was killed instead because he was not strong enough. I brought him back to ask the mastermind behind this." Liu Chang hurriedly explained, fearing that he would ruin the reputation of the Sword Sect disciples.
The guy here is a bad guy, he is just being chivalrous, okay?
Two junior sisters? The green-clothed woman's gaze lingered on Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan for a moment. Last night, after Liu Chang came back, he had already told them that two more junior sisters from Yao Chi had come to the city. They should be these two, right?
But Liu Chang just said that the two of them defeated a killer? It seems that they are not the kind of flowers in a greenhouse.
"Do you two still need to hide your appearance here?" The senior sister asked curiously, "If there is a safest place in this city, it must be here."
Hearing this, Ye Qiuhan scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "But I have to disguise myself again when I return to the restaurant later. It's so troublesome."
Qian Lin didn't care and took off her hood, revealing her face. She could indeed trust the people here. After all, in the previous life, several disciples of the holy land here died in the subsequent invasion of demons and proved their innocence with their lives.
"What a pretty girl!" The senior sister covered her mouth and exclaimed, "No wonder you want to hide your appearance. If you walk on the street with this face, you will definitely be very conspicuous."
"Well, and we are still being hunted by the demons, so we can only resort to this last resort." Ye Qiuhan took over the words of this senior sister and explained, "But I asked Senior Brother Liu to contact the sect for us yesterday, so there shouldn't be any big problems."
Since there is a chance to mobilize people, Ye Qiuhan will definitely not give up this opportunity. Apart from anything else, the news of the whereabouts of Venerable Blood Butterfly is enough to arouse Venerable Bi Bo's interest.
In the past two years, Venerable Bi Bo has been at odds with Venerable Xue Die, and he looks like he will not stop until he kills Xue Die.
Now Venerable Blood Butterfly can no longer bear it and has returned to the world. Venerable Bi Bo must be so happy that he can finally kill this big devil.
"I have sent out the information provided by the two junior sisters through the formation in the base, and there should be a response soon." Liu Chang laughed twice, "Okay, okay, stop chatting, we still have business to do."
As he spoke, he weighed the large sack on his shoulder up and down, indicating that there was still something else to be dealt with.
"The interrogation room is unused right now, you can just go there directly." The woman in green smiled understandingly and went back into the state of cultivation. It seemed that she had no intention of following to watch the fun.
Liu Chang also knew this person's personality and was not surprised by her choice. He took Qian Lin and walked towards the interrogation room.
Along the way, he also told the two about the personnel configuration in this base. In addition to him, there were three disciples in the Body Tempering Realm. The woman in green was from Penglai, and the other two were from the Tiandao Sect and the Baishou Sect respectively.
There are no permanent masters stationed in the base. When encountering serious incidents, they have to send messages to request help from masters in other cities controlled by the holy land.
After all, this is not a city directly controlled by the Holy Land. If the Holy Land sends a master to move in, it will probably arouse suspicion from the big families in the city. Besides, the Holy Land does not have so many masters to waste.
The number of masters in the holy land is indeed much larger than that of ordinary sects, but it is not so extravagant that it can send a master to look after any city.
The world is so vast that the Holy Land cannot govern it all. Most places have their own rulers, and the Holy Land is more like a backup plan for these rulers when they encounter problems that they cannot solve.
For example, when being attacked by evil spirits, it is time for the Holy Land to take action.
118. A Blessing in the End
Carrying a bucket of ice-cold water, Liu Chang poured it hard at the man tied to the chair.
Under the stimulation of the ice water, the unconscious man started and woke up from his fainting. He looked at the three people hiding in the deep darkness in front of him with fear, and his body shook like a sieve.
He knew that he was defeated and killed by the target of the assassination, so he had a mental expectation of what would happen next.
He will probably be tortured to death, he thought to himself.
If you stand by the river often, you will get your feet wet. After becoming a killer, he was prepared to face this situation, but when death really came to him, he still felt fear.
Facing death, even a powerful monk would feel afraid.
"Who sent you here? If you cooperate a little, maybe I can spare your life." The clear voice of a girl came from the shadows.
Oh, spare my life? The man raised his mouth in self-mockery. He was not a child, so how could he believe such words?
It would be good enough if the other party could give him a quick death. He dared not even think about surviving.
"I don't need to answer this question. The two ladies should be able to guess it." The man laughed twice, "It's just as you think. Miss Xiao gave me the spirit stone and asked me to kill you."
"As expected, how many spirit stones did she give you to allow you to take such a big risk?" Qian Lin wanted to know how many spirit stones he was worth.
"A total of ten thousand spirit stones." The man showed a regretful expression. If he had known earlier, he would have charged more. This girl was not easy to deal with, and ten thousand spirit stones was indeed too little.
However, the price of a head of a person in the early stage of Body Tempering Realm was only this much for him. He just didn't expect Qian Lin to have strength beyond the early stage of Body Tempering Realm, which led to his failure.
After hearing this number, Qian Lin took a deep breath. Ten thousand spirit stones! This Miss Xiao is really rich!
For a moment, Qian Lin, who was also a young lady, suddenly wanted to snatch Miss Xiao away.
Qian Lin didn't even dare to do such a luxury as using 10,000 spirit stones to buy the life of an enemy. With that money, she might as well get herself some good weapons and spiritual tools, and then kill her enemies herself.
No one would care if you took someone to the wilderness and killed him.
"Do we have a reason to take action against Xiao Shu?" When Qian Lin was surprised by the ten thousand spirit stones, Ye Qiuhan suddenly thought of something more important. With the killer's testimony, they could arrest Miss Xiao, right?
Young Master Yue was poisoned by the Hehuan Valley, and the same should be true for Miss Xiao. After all, the performances of these two people are not much different, they are simply cast in the same mold.
"Just a confession? That's fine too." Liu Chang pondered for a moment and nodded.
Under normal circumstances, confessions alone would definitely not be enough, but they are disciples of the holy land, so confessions are more than enough.
It is impossible for Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan to join forces with this man to deceive herself, and there is a clear reason why Miss Xiao hired killers to deal with these two sisters, which is because the two of them had ruined Miss Xiao's good deeds before.
Everyone in Miss Yue's caravan was a witness to this incident.
"There is a photo stone in my residence, which contains the scene of Miss Xiao and I trading." At this time, the killer suddenly sent another assist, "Ten thousand spirit stones are also there."
After listening for a while, he found that these people didn't seem to be that interested in him. Instead, they were more interested in Miss Xiao, the mastermind behind the scenes.
In this case, maybe he still has a chance to survive? The killer's mind became active. If he showed a little cooperation, could he really survive?
When he thought of this, his heart began to pound. Who would want to die when they could live? He didn't want to die anyway.
"Address!" When Qian Lin heard that the ten thousand spirit stones were also there, he simply ignored the first half of the man's sentence and focused all his attention on the ten thousand spirit stones.
As the target of assassination, it wouldn't be excessive for me to take these 10,000 spirit stones as compensation for mental damage, right?
It’s not an exaggeration at all!
So, not long after, a small courtyard that looked ordinary from the outside was broken into by two girls and a strong man. This was the address provided by the killer.
After questioning, Qian Lin put the killer back into a coma and asked the senior sister from Penglai to help look after him. They would decide the killer's life or death after they had found the things here and returned.
"It's cleaned quite well. Be careful, there are a lot of traps and hidden weapons here. Follow me and don't walk around randomly." After taking a look around the killer's residence, Qian Lin let out a soft sigh.
In order to save his life, the killer has told several people how to deal with the traps here. As long as they follow his method, they will be safe.
Of course, the hidden mechanisms and weapons he set up were just trifles to Qian Lin. Even without his reminders, Qian Lin could easily deal with those mechanisms.
Please believe that a demon supreme who is over 300 years old knows more sinister methods than a mere killer can compare.
For example, the various mechanisms she is facing now are as childish as children playing house in Qian Lin's eyes. With just one look, several more powerful mechanisms will appear in her mind.
Forget it, I don’t need these things now, she thought to herself.
They entered the basement through the secret passage with ease, and a tidy room appeared in their eyes.
It seems that Mr. Killer has a very good living habit.
"I remember the photo stone was here." Ye Qiuhan walked to the bookshelf at the side of the room, reached out and pressed lightly on a book.
With a slight sound, a drawer popped out from the wall next to the bookshelf, and inside it was a round white stone.
But this is not the photo stone that Ye Qiuhan is looking for, it is just a key.
After taking out the white stone, Ye Qiuhan turned and walked to the other side of the room, pushed open a large black box there, and then pried open a floor tile with a slightly different pattern that was pressed by the large black box. Under this floor tile, there was a circular groove.
After inserting the white stone into the groove, Ye Qiuhan took a few steps back and watched quietly as a large cabinet rose from the ground. That was where she found what she was looking for.
The photo stone that records the transaction between Miss Xiao and the killer is right here. With this photo stone, Liu Chang has sufficient reason to arrest Miss Xiao.
Intent on murdering the disciples of the holy land is no small matter.
If Miss Xiao hired someone to kill someone else, Liu Chang would really not be able to find a good reason to arrest Miss Xiao. In this world, this would be at most a personal grudge.
