"Sword Control Style!"
As Qin Xin wielded the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword, its fiery sword energy shot out in all directions amidst the surrounding yin winds.
"puff!"
With a single strike, Qin Xin's longsword directly repelled the two charging beast puppets.
"Oh no! Retreat quickly!"
Situ Kong, realizing something was wrong, tried to escape, but before he could finish speaking, Qin Xin's Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword pierced through Mo Ruan's arm.
"ah!"
With a heart-wrenching scream of pain, Qin Xin dislocated Mo Ruan's arm.
"Sword Breaking Style!"
Without hesitation, Qin Xin withdrew the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword from his hand, and then a terrifying aura gathered on the sword.
With the Flowing Cloud Step in hand, Qin Xin's figure was ghostly. After slicing off Mo Ruan's head, the fiery sword energy directly roasted his flesh, without a drop of blood flowing out.
With a flash of sword light, Qin Xin's longsword slashed directly at Situ Kong.
"Fire Tiger!"
Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Situ Kong disregarded everything else and threw out his beast puppet.
With a casual wave of his hand, Qin Xin tore the fire tiger beast puppet apart, scattering it across the stone wall.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, Situ Kong had already escaped to Yin Sha's side.
As a black aura flowed, the surrounding laws of heaven and earth rippled slightly, and then the two figures vanished.
Only a roar remained in the air.
"Qin Xin! I'll remember you! You dared to ruin our plans; I will kill you one day!"
Faced with this threat, Qin Xin felt somewhat helpless and wanted to chase after the other party, but he had completely lost track of their presence.
Qin Xin understood that the other party must have used some spiritual talismans condensed by powerful martial artists. Even if a martial artist with the strength of the Earth Profound Realm used a domain seal, they would be helpless against someone who used the power of laws to escape.
Fortunately, Qin Xin also gave up on continuing the pursuit.
"Qin Xin, I never imagined your strength had become so formidable!"
Yun Li slowly stood up, seemingly suffering severe injuries from Yin Sha's array, making recovery extremely difficult in the short term.
Yang Xiu, on the other hand, was more seriously injured. After catching his breath, he also thanked Qin Xin.
If Qin Xin hadn't intervened to save them, Yang Xiu would likely have died at the hands of Yin Sha along with Yun Li.
"Deans, how should we deal with these human puppets?"
After learning about the crisis facing the Tianxuan Sect, Qin Xin wanted to rush back to lend a helping hand.
After all, the Tianxuan Sect had been kind to Qin Xin by taking him in and guiding his cultivation. Moreover, if the Tianxuan Sect were to be destroyed by the Xuantian Sword Sect, it would likely make Qin Haotian even stronger, making it even more difficult for him to seek revenge in the future.
"Incinerate them all, otherwise the Ziwei Sect can control them as long as they are left alive."
Yang Xiu surveyed the nearly ten thousand human puppets around him, who were all sitting cross-legged and not under control, and spoke without any ripples of emotion.
Yun Li nodded slightly, because only in this way could the Ziwei Sect lose control over these human puppets.
I'm so sorry everyone!
After apologizing to the tens of thousands of puppets behind him, Qin Xin's Blue Rock Bone Fire surged and split into several streams.
In an instant, tens of thousands of human puppets were all set ablaze.
At the same time, under the scorching heat of the flames, the branding marks on the puppet's forehead also disappeared completely.
After doing all this, Qin Xin did not stay in Yin Feng Ravine any longer, but directly took Yun Li and Yang Xiu and left.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, at the Ziwei Sect...
At this moment, Yin Sha, who had escaped from Yin Feng Ravine, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of black blood, her eyes filled with rage.
"A three-year plan, ruined by Qin Xin! He deserves to die!"
Yin Sha cursed in one of the gloomy palaces.
On the palace floor, an old man, who looked like a dried corpse, stared expressionlessly down below.
“Shar, this failure is not a bad thing for you.”
"Your journey has been too smooth; you should learn from your experience in the future."
After the old man, who looked like a dried corpse, finished speaking, he slowly stood up. His trembling body made it seem as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
However, the old man exuded an aura of death, and everything he touched seemed to be corroded.
"Yes, Father."
Although Yin Sha was unwilling to accept defeat, she still respected her father very much.
"You should rest and recuperate first. The backlash from the puppet will have some impact on your foundation."
"You don't need to worry about the Tianxuan Sect. The Xuantian Sword Sect must have a backup plan. I need to go help them now so as not to leave any leverage for the Xuantian Sword Sect."
After speaking, the old man, who looked like a dried corpse, vanished from the hall in a blur.
Yin Sha was left alone, her eyes filled with rage. With a gentle wave of her hand, she pulled several servants around her towards her.
After a few roars and bursts of wild laughter were heard from inside the palace, all that could be heard was silence.
...
After Qin Xin, Yang Xiu, and Yun Li left Yin Feng Ravine, he learned that the Xuan Tian Sword Sect and the Zi Wei Sect had launched an attack on the Tian Xuan Sect.
"Now that Emperor Xuanzong is in distress, I need to return as soon as possible."
Now that Yang Xiu and Yun Li are both seriously injured and unable to recover for a while, traveling together would inevitably slow down their journey. Therefore, Qin Xin had no choice but to go ahead alone.
"Very well, here's the token. With this token, you'll have the authority to command the entire Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy!"
Yang Xiu then took out a token and handed it to Qin Xin, slowly speaking.
"But, the Pill Academy of Tuocang Mountain is not..."
Qin Xin knew that Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy had never participated in the struggles between forces. If he were to take this token and call on alchemists to help Tianxuan Sect, it would clearly go against the original intention of Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy. For a moment, Qin Xin did not accept the token.
"Although I don't want to get involved in the power struggles, I still get dragged into them. Reality tells me that to protect myself, I need to have a certain level of strength."
Yang Xiu's eyes were filled with anger, clearly because he had come to understand something after being framed this time.
"Alright, Qin Xin, since it's for you, just accept it. The Dean and I will probably need some time to recover our fighting strength. Tianxuan Sect is definitely in danger right now, so you'd better hurry over there."
Seeing that Qin Xin was unwilling to accept the token, Yun Li urged him directly.
Since that was the case, Qin Xin did not refuse any further. After accepting the token, he bid farewell to the two men and then disappeared from their sight.
“Yun Li, I’m thinking that this child always gives me a familiar feeling. There was someone in Zhongzhou who acted so decisively.”
Yang Xiu watched Qin Xin's departing figure and spoke as if reminiscing.
"To be honest, I once admired that person, but he was like a dazzling star, far beyond my reach."
Yun Li's eyes were somewhat unfocused as she spoke softly, a hint of girlish shyness appearing on her face.
"Speaking of which, Qin Xiao and he share the same surname, so perhaps the two have some connection," Yang Xiu said, as if making a guess.
"Dean, please don't talk nonsense. I have never heard of Qin Xiao having a child. It must just be a coincidence."
Yun Li retorted directly.
"A coincidence? Perhaps. But such a talented person, now... sigh..."
A sigh escaped Yang Xiu's lips, as if lamenting the injustice of fate.
However, Qin Xin, who had already left, was unaware of all this.
