"I'll give you one more chance. If you tell me Elder Yang's whereabouts, I might let you go once I find the Heavenly Secrets Disc."
The old man looked at Granny Qian with an extremely mocking gaze.
Grandma Qian's body twitched slightly; the rapidly flowing blood and internal injuries caused her life force to quickly ebb away.
"Hmph! In your current state, you can't even fight, let alone self-destruct. Don't expect anyone to come to your rescue; there's no one here... huh?" Before the old man could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly widened.
Before anyone knew it, a young man had appeared in the courtyard.
Upon seeing him, everyone's faces showed confusion.
When Granny Qian saw the newcomer, her eyes suddenly lit up.
The person who came was naturally Qin Ziling. He had only been gone a short while when he sensed several powerful auras, so he turned back.
As soon as he entered, he saw this scene.
When Qin Ziling saw Granny Qian lying on the ground, barely alive, his face immediately darkened.
His gaze shifted, landing on the old man's face, and then he glanced at their clothing: "Tianji Pavilion?"
Good, good, they appeared right after I said that. These people are really giving me a surprise!
"Hmm? Who are you? Why do you know about the existence of my Heavenly Mystery Pavilion?!" The old man stared coldly at Qin Ziling.
He was on guard. This guy's sudden appearance here meant he wasn't from a simple background! Moreover, he knew of the existence of their Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, yet he showed no fear or apprehension, indicating that the other party wasn't afraid of them!
Something's strange!
Qin Ziling strode forward, his steps seemingly casual: "Tianji Pavilion, perfect timing, I have something to ask you."
The old man narrowed his eyes: "What would you like to ask, sir?"
Qin Ziling said calmly, "Qin Changqing, do you know him?"
"Qin Changqing, the Azure Emperor?!" The old man's pupils contracted, as if he had discovered something. His face suddenly turned horrified: "You... why do you look so much like Qin Changqing?! Could it be that you are his son?!"
Qin Ziling nodded: "It seems you know something. For that reason, I should spare your lives."
"Kill him!" the old man suddenly shouted.
Immediately, the remaining Heavenly Guards quickly raised their crossbows and, without hesitation, pulled the triggers directly at Qin Ziling!
Swish swish swish!
With a whooshing sound, the crossbow bolt pierced through Qin Ziling's body!
However, everyone was soon terrified, because they discovered that what had been pierced was actually just an afterimage of Qin Ziling!
"A crossbow made of special materials? Interesting. This kind of crossbow is very powerful, and only a Grandmaster can control it. The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion certainly has a strong foundation."
A ghostly voice rang out, and Qin Ziling appeared behind one of the Heavenly Guards, holding the guard by the back of the neck with one hand.
"Impossible! How could it be so fast?!" The old man and the others were all shocked.
The Heavenly Guard was also filled with terror; he was a fourth-rank official! But before he could even react, he was captured!
Encountering Qin Ziling was their nightmare!
Click!
Without hesitation, Qin Ziling snapped the neck of the Heavenly Guard. He looked at the old man and the others expressionlessly, and the next moment, his figure suddenly disappeared!
In an instant, Qin Ziling appeared in front of the old man, his gaze as calm as still water.
Behind him, the Heavenly Guards all stared wide-eyed, and then…
Thump thump!
All the Heavenly Guards collapsed to the ground, lifeless!
"You...you actually dared to kill a Heavenly Guard!" The old man stared intently at Qin Ziling, his face filled with disbelief.
Qin Ziling looked at him indifferently: "I'm asking you, do you know the whereabouts of my parents?"
From the conversation just now, the old man already knew that this young man was a descendant of Qin Changqing, so he naturally understood who Qin Ziling was talking about.
The old man's face twisted in a grimace: "Want to know? Boy, anyone who dares to kill someone from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, no matter who you are, will die!"
boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from the old man's body, an aura that was no weaker than that of Granny Qian!
He didn't make much of a move just now, not because he was weak! On the contrary, as an elder of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, his strength is naturally not weak! In fact, it's quite strong!
boom!
As soon as the pressure of a peak fifth-grade cultivator was released, a hurricane of immense spiritual energy formed around the old man!
"Die!" The old man suddenly attacked, his fist carrying the force of shattering mountains and breaking rocks as it hurtled towards Qin Ziling!
He didn't hold back with that punch! And Qin Ziling was so close to him!
"Be careful, young master!!" Granny Qian said weakly with concern.
Qin Ziling narrowed his eyes, and then suddenly raised his hand and threw a punch! This punch flashed with golden light!
boom!
Under the enormous shockwave, his entire body was shattered by the force!
In the arena, a figure retreated rapidly!
It was that old man!
The old man stopped, staring at Qin Ziling in shock: "How can you, so young, possess such power?"
After saying that, he immediately realized that the young man in front of him was the son of the Azure Emperor!
The Azure Emperor! That man is a powerful and influential figure, both in the capital and Kunlun! How could his son be any less capable?
A formidable rival!
A fierce killing intent flashed in the old man's eyes. This man was the son of the Azure Emperor. If he couldn't be captured, he had to be killed! Otherwise, given the grudge between the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and the Azure Emperor, this boy would definitely become a major enemy of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion in the future!
Thinking of this, the old man's body surged with killing intent!
Qin Ziling naturally sensed the killing intent of the other party. A mocking smile appeared on his lips: "It seems you are indeed no good. In that case, don't blame me for being impolite! No matter what force you are, even if you are protected by the Dragon Kingdom, I will still destroy you!"
If you make enemies of his parents, then you become their family's enemy!
He could not be merciful to his enemies!
Then kill them!
"Ha! You brat, you think you can destroy my Heavenly Mystery Pavilion? Even your father doesn't have that kind of power, what are you?!"
"At such a young age, you dare to be so arrogant with just a little strength. Let me teach you how to respect your elders!"
The old man sneered, and then suddenly formed a complex hand seal: "Black Flame Palm!"
Rumble!
A surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from his body, and his aura continued to rise!
The old man unleashed a palm strike at Qin Ziling!
A palm print of spiritual energy solidified and flew towards Qin Ziling!
Martial arts!
A powerful force like the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion must possess an immeasurable number of martial arts techniques!
The old man's move was a full-force strike from the peak of the fifth rank, and its power was so great that it even distorted space itself!
At the peak of the fifth rank, in the martial arts world, that's already an incredibly terrifying existence! Each one would be a giant in the secular world! Enough to support an entire family!
Qin Ziling, however, remained calm and composed, allowing the palm print to engulf him.
