When Qin Luo's gaze fell upon the two young men before him, he was about to speak when he seemed to suddenly remember something and abruptly said:
"Yin Shuang, take Nuan Tang and leave for a moment."
These words struck Nuantang's heart like a hammer blow, causing a sour feeling to well up in her eyes.
She subconsciously looked up at Qin Luo, her pale purple eyes filled with unyielding emotions and deep longing.
She knew in her heart that Qin Luo didn't want her to witness the bloody and cruel scene that was about to unfold. Although a trace of warmth from his thoughtfulness flashed through her heart, the words Qin Luo had just said—that his days in the fox clan were numbered—echoed clearly in her mind, piercing her heart.
A young girl, experiencing the first stirrings of love, felt a heart full of joy and longing, yet received no response. To him, she was ultimately nothing more than a passerby...
"Brother Qin, Nuantang is alright."
The voice carried a choked sob, almost broken, and the girl's last stand.
But Qin Luo said in an unquestionable manner:
"Go on, don't delay."
Hearing these indifferent words, Nuantang bit her lower lip tightly until it turned pale. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried her best to hold them back and not let them fall.
After a long while, she nodded and said, "Yes, Nuantang understands."
Then she turned around and walked slowly into the distance.
Seeing this strange scene and Nuantang's disappointed expression, Yinshuang thought to herself that something must have just happened.
After Nuantang had walked a distance, Yinshuang bowed respectfully to Qin Luo and then quickly followed.
Her gaze swept over Nuantang, pondering to herself. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and she smiled slightly with a hint of disdain. "I bet this little girl was 'stealing food' just now?"
Thinking of this, Yinshuang looked at Nuantang's dejected appearance again and sneered inwardly:
"Heh, a mere child who's only a thousand years old, and you think you can seduce an adult with that little charm?"
......
After Nuantang and Yinshuang had completely disappeared from sight, Qin Luo looked at the two young men cowering on the ground.
Suddenly, Qin Luo raised his hand and slammed it down without the slightest hesitation.
In an instant, a vast amount of spiritual energy gathered wildly in the air, quickly condensing into an enormous spiritual energy handprint.
The aura emanating from these spiritual hand seals made everyone present feel what fear truly meant!
Yue Lishan and Feng Liao instinctively took a few steps back, their eyes filled with fear. The two young men were even more terrified, struggling frantically, but they couldn't move an inch.
Seeing this, Qin Luo snorted coldly, and the spiritual energy handprint rushed towards one of the young men like a rapidly falling meteor.
The young man didn't even have time to react; before a hint of fear even appeared in his eyes, his spiritual energy handprint slammed down heavily.
In an instant, blood spurted out like red plum blossoms, then spread wildly across the ground. When the spiritual energy handprint dissipated, only a blurry pool of flesh and blood remained on the ground, a horrifying sight.
This sudden scene left Yue Lishan and Feng Liao somewhat horrified, but they knew they shouldn't say anything rash at this moment, so they stood quietly to the side, holding their breath.
The young man who had miraculously survived turned deathly pale, his lips trembling uncontrollably as he tried to beg for mercy, but he couldn't utter a single word.
"I ask, you answer. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, then you have no reason to live in this world."
The sound was soft, but it echoed in the silent space, like a sharp blade piercing the heart of the young man who had survived by chance.
"Yes...yes...sir, I will tell you everything I know!"
The man finally managed to squeeze out a few words, his voice trembling violently, as if it would be torn apart by fear at any moment.
"Do you know about the Sacred Lotus of the Great Void?"
Qin Luo narrowed his eyes, staring at the trembling man in front of him, and slowly spoke.
Upon hearing Qin Luo's question, the young man frantically recalled information about the Taixu Sacred Lotus in his mind, and for a moment he panicked and did not give an immediate response.
Seeing this, Qin Luo's face darkened, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and his sharp aura once again emanated, filling the air with a suffocating sense of oppression.
Sensing the aura of death, the young man's body trembled violently. Just as he thought he was about to die on the spot, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly stammered:
"My lord, spare me! My lord, spare me! If I remember correctly, not long ago I overheard something about the core northwest area of the inner perimeter..." The young man suddenly paused, seemingly hesitant to continue.
However, feeling Qin Luo's threatening gaze again, he dared not delay any longer and continued:
"The northwest core area of the inner perimeter is controlled by the snake spirit Rou, a descendant of the Linglong Ancient Serpent. I heard from that person that there are signs that the Taixu Sacred Lotus is about to appear in the world there."
"I heard all of this with my own ears, and there is absolutely no falsehood. I would never dare to deceive you, sir. Please spare my worthless life."
After listening, a thoughtful look flashed in Qin Luo's eyes, and he murmured:
"Descendant of the Exquisite Ancient Serpent? Serpent Enchantress?"
Seeing Qin Luo's puzzled expression, the young man quickly explained on his behalf, his voice tinged with urgency and fear, as if afraid this devil would kill him:
