The Flame Rhyme Palm print did not create a huge impact, but the blue-robed old man's face turned deathly pale instantly.
The blue scales on his body, which resembled decorations, were quickly evaporated into a cloud of water vapor under the scorching of the spiritual flames.
The spiritual flames began to ravage his body like a ferocious beast. The old man in blue robes felt an intensely hot power rapidly spreading from his chest. His skin was scorched by the flames, making a sizzling sound, and soon turned charred black.
At the same time, the power of the spiritual energy seeped into his body like fine threads, interfering with the flow of his energy. The old man in the blue robe immediately felt his spiritual energy circulation become extremely sluggish, his body was bound by heavy shackles, and his movements were as slow as if he were sinking into a quagmire.
Bang!
As the force surged forth, the old man in blue robes was violently sent flying, arcing through the air like a kite with a broken string before crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"Cough cough, you! Pfft..."
The old man in the blue robe felt as if his internal organs had shifted. He braced himself on the ground with one hand and clutched the charred area on his chest with the other. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
Qin Luo exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the spiritual flames in his hand dissipated completely. Looking at the unconscious blue-robed elder in the distance, he shook his head, thinking to himself, "Is this all the strength of someone at the early stage of the Soul Contract Realm? Not even a tenth of Xia Qi's back then."
The blue-robed elder before him, though only at the early stage of the Soul Contract Realm, appeared remarkably vulnerable. Qin Luo couldn't help but wonder if the difference between minor realms within the Soul Contract Realm was truly that vast.
"you......"
Li Hu stared in terror at Qin Luo, who stood ramrod straight. His eyes were filled with deep fear; he hadn't expected that even his grandfather, a cultivator at the Soul Contract Realm, had been defeated by Qin Luo. Thinking of this, his body trembled uncontrollably, and his heart was filled with despair.
Qin Luo glanced at Li Hu, who was trembling not far away, flicked his finger, and spiritual energy shot out like lightning, striking him precisely. The immense force caused him to cry out in pain before crashing heavily in front of Yi Ting.
"Yiting, what do you think he should do?"
Qin Luo gazed at her, seemingly wanting to see how she would make her choice. Although Yi Ting's originally timid personality had indeed changed a lot with his help during this time, this change seemed to only be fully revealed when she was facing him.
When facing strangers, Yiting remains as timid as ever, but she tries her best to hide it so that Qin Luo won't notice.
From the moment Yi Ting saw Li Hu's face turn pale, Qin Luo keenly realized the problem.
"Master...it's me."
Yi Ting looked at Qin Luo helplessly, her hands twisting together, her mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Looking at Li Hu lying on the ground, a complex expression flashed in her eyes. This young master had once brought her endless fear; she had never imagined that one day she could stand in such a position, holding the fate of others in her hands.
"Yiting!"
Upon hearing this name, Li Hu on the ground showed a look of astonishment and dismay. Looking at the plump, gentle-looking woman in front of him, he realized that she was actually the lowest-ranking servant in the Li family!
He simply couldn't reconcile the woman before him, whom he found so alluring, with the servant from before, dressed in loose cloth and with a pockmarked face.
While Li Hu was still in shock, a series of slow footsteps approached, and a man in a white robe with an extraordinary air walked in, looking at Qin Luo and the others with displeasure.
"Gentlemen, I am Lin Yong, the third young master of the Lin family. Every alchemist here was hired by the Lin family at great expense. I wonder if this gentleman could give me some face and let this matter drop?"
Qin Luo looked at Lin Yong and smiled disdainfully to himself.
"Oh, Brother Lin, does that mean I'm being too aggressive?"
"When that old man attacked me earlier, why didn't I see you come out to stop him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Luo's eyes sharpened, and he stared at Lin Yong with a meaningful look.
Lin Yong was taken aback, and the smile on his face stiffened.
He hadn't expected Qin Luo to be so tough, showing him, the third young master of the Lin family, no respect whatsoever.
"Brother Qin, you misunderstand. I only just learned about this myself. If I had known earlier, I would have definitely come to stop this conflict," Lin Yong tried to explain.
Qin Luo snorted coldly.
"Brother Lin, I can't completely trust what you say. Who knows if you're favoring that old man?"
Lin Yong's expression turned somewhat ugly. As the third young master of the Lin family, he was usually treated with great respect by everyone, but now he was being questioned by Qin Luo like this, which made him somewhat angry.
Li Hu, on the ground, was overjoyed to see this scene. He knew that the Lin family was one of the three major families in the Southern Region and a dominant force in Liaonan City.
This country bumpkin probably doesn't know who this third young master of the Lin family is, does he?
Thinking of this, his eyes flashed, and then he shouted at Qin Luo:
"How dare you!"
"What is your status that you dare to question the Third Young Master's words?"
Having said that, Li Hu felt that with Lin Yong as his backer, Qin Luo would definitely not dare to lay a hand on him again. So he slowly got up, looked at Yi Ting with a look of disdain, and said in an unpleasant tone:
"Hmph, she was just the lowest servant in the Li family. Does she really think she's something? So what if she looks better now? She's still just a lowly slave at heart."
Upon hearing this, Yiting's face turned deathly pale, and memories of the past flooded back into her mind.
