After completing the breakthrough, Qin Xin woke up immediately.

Remembering the Dharma Realm he had suddenly released earlier, he quickly checked his surroundings.

Upon discovering that Luo Lingyan was sitting cross-legged to the side, unharmed, Qin Xin finally felt relieved.

"You're awake."

After Luo Lingyan's voice slowly rang in Qin Xin's ears, he slowly opened his eyes.

Looking into those familiar eyes, Qin Xin felt a tightness in his heart, as if all his longing had been dispelled in that instant.

"Thank you very much, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to break through to the Dharma Aspect Realm so smoothly."

A smile also appeared on Qin Xin's lips.

But for some reason, he always felt a little apprehensive whenever he faced Luo Lingyan.

Qin Xin attributed this mindset to himself and thus did something that betrayed her.

"You were able to break through because of your own abilities, it has nothing to do with me."

"However, your progress over the years has been quite remarkable, which surprised me somewhat."

After Luo Lingyan slowly stood up, she covered her face with her veil again, seemingly preparing to leave.

"Indeed, there have been many opportunities over the years."

Qin Xin nodded, looking at the hidden, peerless face, and felt a pang of regret.

"There are opportunities as well as risks. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have your perseverance."

After saying something, Luo Lingyan suddenly added, as if she realized she had said something wrong, "There are still many things to do in Tiancang Domain, so I'm going to leave."

"It seems that old man relayed everything that happened to me to you." Qin Xin's face immediately lit up with a smile, and seeing Luo Lingyan about to leave, he quickly asked, "By the way, has the contract been dissolved yet?"

Luo Lingyan shook her head, "Taking your essence blood will only suppress it temporarily."

"It's okay, I have plenty of blood anyway. If you feel unwell, just come find me," Qin Xin said without hesitation.

Luo Lingyan remained silent, and her expression was completely hidden beneath her veil.

"Okay, I'm leaving now!"

Luo Lingyan replied softly, turned her head, and with a leap, disappeared directly into the horizon.

Qin Xin stood there, feeling the lingering fragrance in the air. He looked like a young man who had just fallen in love, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

"Kid, you're doomed. I can tell you've been smitten by this girl."

Danqing's slightly teasing voice immediately echoed in Qin Xin's mind.

"So what if I'm captivated? As the saying goes, dying under a peony is still a romantic death." Qin Xin said nonchalantly.

"You brat, you're imitating me again."

Hearing Qin Xin's somewhat familiar tone, Danqing also cursed a few times indignantly.

"However, disciple, don't blame your teacher for not reminding you. Having been in the martial arts world for so many years, I can sense that this little girl is not from the Tianxuan Continent, and there must be a lot involved behind her. You should be mentally prepared."

Qin Xin nodded upon hearing this, "Once you become powerful, these things will no longer be a problem."

A surge of confidence welled up within him. In the past, he might have felt like a toad trying to eat swan meat, but after his conversation with Luo Lingyan...

Qin Xin also confirmed that the old man who had been following him was indeed sent by Luo Lingyan.

This means that Luo Lingyan definitely has feelings for him.

"Boy, do as you please. I only have this one spirit left now, and I don't think I can be of much help in the future."

Danqing seemed to have come to terms with it, and casually remarked something.

But before she could finish speaking, Danqing's tone turned terrified, "Qin Xin, this is bad! Run! There's a terrifying aura coming towards us!"

Just as Danqing finished speaking, Qin Xin had not yet had time to condense the Heavenly Phoenix Fire Wings.

A black shadow appeared directly in front of Qin Xin.

The black shadow didn't seem to have much Yuan energy fluctuation, but its strength couldn't be detected.

Moreover, his entire body was covered by a long black robe, making it impossible to see his face. However, from the exposed skin, one could see that there seemed to be countless black patterns on his body.

"This guy?"

Qin Xin was also somewhat wary for a moment. He could feel that his spiritual body was trembling slightly in the face of the person in front of him, as if he was afraid of the aura emanating from the person's body.

"A spirit body from the martial arts world, although it has dissipated a lot of spiritual power, is still not bad."

"There is also a spirit body at the late stage of the Spirit Pattern Realm."

"Tsk tsk, this trip was worthwhile. We caught you two, and we'll get a reward from the Palace Master when we get back."

A sinister voice rang out from beneath the black robe.

Then, black energy flowed around the black robe, and a black iron chain appeared behind him.

At the end of the black iron chain is a barb that emits a chilling light and looks extremely sharp.

"This guy seems to have something specifically for dealing with spirits. Let's find a chance to leave quickly."

After Danqing noticed something was wrong, she immediately reminded him.

As Qin Xin's Yuan Power swirled around him, the projection of the Martial Spirit's Dharma Aspect Domain also rapidly dissipated.

However, due to the distance between them and the man in black robes, they were unable to get close enough to cover him.

However, as long as the other party enters his territory, Qin Xin is confident that he can hold them off first and then find an opportunity to escape quickly.

"Heh, struggle all you want, it's all in vain!"

After the sinister voice rang out again, the black-robed figure released a completely black domain dharma image around himself. Within this domain, all the spiritual energy and primordial power of heaven and earth were isolated.

"Soul Snatcher!"

After the figure in black robes uttered a hoarse voice...

A black chain shot directly towards Qin Xin.

Qin Xin originally intended to bind the black chains directly through his Dharma Aspect Domain, but he found that the thing was completely unaffected by Yuan Power and broke through his Dharma Aspect Domain in an instant.

"ah!"

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through Qin Xin's mind.

He felt as if his spirit was half-bound by the chains, and the hooks on the chains were directly inserted into his spirit.

The surging spiritual energy around him began to be continuously drawn away by the chains, slowly flowing into the figure in the black robe.

Damn it!

This sudden change was clearly unexpected by Qin Xin.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a bizarre method, and he was momentarily flustered.
