Looking at the cracks on the flagpole, he doesn't know how much effort it will take to repair it when he gets back. Moreover, three of the six souls he painstakingly cultivated were destroyed by Ye Xingchen's sword.
"How can mere demons and heretics withstand my righteous energy?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, quickly approached, and unleashed another sword strike.
Yin Laosan clasped his hands together, let out a loud roar, and forced out a blood talisman seal.
Boom! A sword struck his talisman, his body shuddered, and he was sent flying seven or eight meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Before he could get up, Ye Xingchen lunged forward, and eight sword lights surged out, blocking all of Yin Laosan's escape routes.
Yin Laosan lay on the ground, not daring to utter a single word.
"The Three Heroes of Yinshan are good at cunning, but their strength in a head-on confrontation is really not that great." Ye Xingchen shook his head.
"What do you want?" Yin Laosan was so frightened by the sword aura hanging over his head that he didn't dare to breathe.
"What do you think? Or should I kill you?" Ye Xingchen sneered.
"If you dare kill me, my eldest and second brothers will definitely seek revenge!" Yin Laosan said angrily.
"You came to Yanjing to seek revenge on me," Ye Xingchen said. "Wouldn't it be better to weaken their strength by killing you?"
"You..." Yin Laosan was speechless.
"Is this a Xuan Ring?" Ye Xingchen looked at the skull ring on Yin Laosan's finger and immediately became interested.
"No." Yin Laosan quickly withdrew his hand, but it was too late.
"Either hand it over, or I'll cut off your hand. It's one of the two." Ye Xingchen stared at him.
Yin Laosan weighed the pros and cons and obediently handed over the ring. Then he said resentfully, "It's no use handing it over. It has my spiritual imprint on it. No one but me can use it."
"Oh, really?" Ye Xingchen glanced at him, then reached out and ran her hand over the ring.
A golden aura surged out, and the ring emitted a radiant light. Then, the light gradually faded. Ye Xingchen casually put the ring on his hand, pointed with his right hand, and put a stone next to him into the ring.
"It truly is a treasure as vast as Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed, a treasure that can hold all things in the ocean!" Ye Xingchen was overjoyed. This ring was a magical artifact used for storage.
Although it can only hold a few square meters of things, it is still a rare treasure.
"You...you can erase my mental imprint?" Yin Laosan was completely dumbfounded.
"Enough with the nonsense, tell me, what does an alchemist do?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Jiang Yongkang wants the Seven Corpses to borrow life, but we don't know for sure who it's for," Yin Laosan replied helplessly.
"It really was him." Ye Xingchen already knew what was going on. The Seven Corpses Borrowing Life was nothing more than borrowing life for Ye Taihe.
To save his own life, he was willing to sacrifice seven lives to make amends; this old man is ruthless enough.
"Ye Xingchen, I've said everything I need to say. What do you want? Just tell me." Yin Laosan gritted his teeth.
"What can I do? Of course, I'll kill you." Ye Xingchen sneered.
“Kill me, and my eldest and second brothers will fight you to the death,” Yin Laosan said coldly.
"That's easy, I'll kill them all." Ye Xingchen tilted his head and looked at him: "Judging from your strength, is this a difficult task?"
Yin Laosan remained silent for a moment, then said, "If you don't kill me, I have a huge secret to tell you."
"What earth-shattering secret?" Ye Xingchen asked curiously.
"About..." Yin Laosan paused here, "You have to promise not to kill me."
"We'll have to see if your secret is enough to save your life," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"Since it's a secret, then of course it's worth exchanging for my life," Yin Laosan snorted.
"Tell me first," Ye Xingchen said patiently. "If I think the secret you're about to reveal is valuable, I'll spare your life. If I don't think it's valuable, you'll still die."
“I’m afraid you’ll break your promise,” Yin Laosan said.
"That's a bit ironic," Ye Xingchen said with a sneer. "You three Yin brothers have always been untrustworthy, so why are you now afraid of others being untrustworthy?"
"Alright, let me tell you first." Yin Laosan took a step back: "This secret..."
"Speak." Ye Xingchen had lost his patience, but Yin Laosan only uttered this sentence and then fell silent.
However, Yin Laosan remained motionless, as if he were dead. Ye Xingchen kicked him, and Yin Laosan's figure swayed and turned into a paper doll.
His avatar was already a hundred feet away, and Yin Laosan's true body was already there. He roared, "Ye Xingchen, you destroyed my magic weapon and stole my Xuan Ring. I will definitely avenge this!"
"As expected, he does have some tricks up his sleeve." A red light reappeared on Ye Xingchen's forehead. He raised his right hand in the air, and the Crimson Sky Sword in his hand emitted a burst of spiritual light with a hum, its sword energy spreading out in an instant.
Even if this guy escapes to a hundred feet away, Ye Xingchen's sword will still kill him without hesitation.
But after thinking it over, he put down his sword. It would be good to spare his life and let the three brothers from Yinshan know that he was not someone to be trifled with.
When they returned to the dormitory, Li Yijin and the other girls were still huddled in their room, trembling with fear.
Upon seeing Ye Xingchen, Li Yijin rushed over and hugged him tightly, her lips trembling as she almost cried, "You're finally back."
"It's alright, everything's been resolved, and this won't happen again. Why were you so scared?" Ye Xingchen said, both amused and exasperated.
"It was so dark just now, the three of us...we were really scared." Li Yijin wiped away her tears: "What if something had happened to me? You wouldn't have a wife anymore?"
"Don't talk nonsense, get down." Ye Xingchen put her down. Although the girl was young, she was quite well-developed. It wouldn't be good for her to be hanging on him like this, and he couldn't carry her.
Li Yijin then obediently got down: "Why don't you sleep on my bed for a while? It's almost dawn."
"Forget it, I have to go. Otherwise, how am I going to get out when it gets light?" Ye Xingchen said irritably.
"It's okay, I've already bribed the dorm supervisor. You can come to our dorm anytime you want." Li Yijin waved her hand.
"Hey, I didn't realize you were such a coward." Ye Xingchen patted her head: "Study hard. The matter is resolved, but there are still some finishing touches to be done. I need to go and take care of them."
"You're leaving already? I haven't seen you for a week. Can't you stay with me a little longer?" Li Yijin said pitifully.
"Wouldn't my presence here interfere with your studies?" Ye Xingchen said speechlessly, "Aren't you determined to get into a good school? How can you get into a good school if I'm here?"
Li Yijin rolled her eyes at him, then said helplessly, "Fine, then you can leave. I'll endure it for two more months. After I finish the college entrance exam, I'll make you sleep in my bed."
