The Great Elder didn't want other sects to know about the Heike family's mineral veins.
If their sect can't get it, other sects can't get it either.
Even if he died, the sect leader would find a way to send other elders. The Heike family's mineral vein would eventually belong to their Sword Sect.
But now he is imprisoned, how can he inform the sect leader?
Thinking of his eldest disciple Wu Qiao, such a brilliant genius, who was killed without even leaving ashes, the Sword Sect's Great Elder was filled with grief and indignation.
He had thought it would be easy to seize the mine. This mission was a simple one. However, he hadn't expected that not only would his eldest disciple's life be at stake, but his own, too, might be in danger.
"What do you want in exchange for letting me go? As long as you release everyone from my Sword Sect, I can guarantee that the Sword Sect will never cause trouble for the Ping family again."
The Sword Sect's Great Elder now thought of a way to retreat in order to advance.
As long as he can save his life and escape from this place, he will have plenty of opportunities to make a comeback in the future.
He just didn't believe that this girl from the secular world would stay in the ancient martial arts world forever.
As long as this girl leaves, he will have plenty of ways to deal with the Heike clan.
"What's the point of your promise? You can't even protect yourself, and you want to protect others? You're just dreaming!"
Pingshuang was very unwilling to give any face, so she grabbed the whip and lashed the elder hard.
"You old fellow, you still have so much energy. I must have been too gentle. I remember that you showed no mercy to me back then. If I hadn't been of some use, I would have been beaten to death by you."
Pingshuang said this as he cracked the whip in his hand.
Even though the Sword Sect's Great Elder tried hard to resist some of the force, he still suffered internal injuries after being beaten by Ping Shuang.
A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he felt as if all his strength had been drained away, even his breathing became rapid.
"I'll ask you again, how can we lure the Sword Sect's leader here?"
Since they have already had a conflict with the Sword Sect and killed the Sword Sect's chief disciple, the fight will definitely continue until one of them dies.
She wanted to get rid of the Sword Sect before leaving the ancient martial arts world so that the Heike family would have no worries.
As the saying goes, capture the leader first.
Let’s capture the leader of the Sword Sect first.
The Sword Sect's Great Elder endured the pain all over his body and snorted coldly: "How could the Sword Sect's leader easily come down the mountain? How could this elder not know what you are planning? I tell you, I..."
"Pingshuang, keep going. Don't stop. Just hold on for a moment."
Xiao Qingran glanced at the Sword Sect's Grand Elder indifferently, then turned and walked out.
When he got outside, he happened to meet Luo Jiuyan who came to look for him.
"Did you find anything out from the interrogation of those Sword Sect disciples?"
Luo Jiuyan smiled slightly: "The flare is in the Great Elder's clothes. As long as the flare is lit, the disciples hiding in the dark will pass the message directly to the Sword Sect Master. It is said that when the Great Elder of the Sword Sect left the Sword Sect, the Sword Sect Master was worried that something might happen to him, so he personally handed him the flare."
Xiao Qingran curled her lips: "It seems that the leader of the Sword Sect has some foresight!"
Luo Jiuyan nodded. "According to the Sword Sect's disciples, the Sword Sect is actually not far from Jindu City. If we light a signal flare now, the Sword Sect's leader will probably receive the news tonight. The earliest they can reach Jindu City is tomorrow morning."
Xiao Qingran couldn't help but feel delighted: "That couldn't be better. I was worried that I would have to wait for several days!"
Having said that, Xiao Qingran walked back.
She looked at the two servants and said, "Go and search him and take out everything he has."
The Sword Sect's Great Elder, who had been pretending to be dead, suddenly raised his eyes upon hearing this and stared at Xiao Qingran intently: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Xiao Qingran raised an eyebrow: "I think you should know best in your heart, what I want to do?"
The Sword Sect's Great Elder stared at Xiao Qingran intently: "You're not planning to deal with our Sword Sect's leader, are you?"
After the Sword Sect's Great Elder finished speaking, he laughed sarcastically.
This smile touched the wound.
Blood continued to flow out of his mouth, but he didn't care at all.
"I was originally thinking about how to notify the sect leader to rescue us. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to help me. I won't say thank you. If you die, the grudge between us will be wiped out. If you survive by chance, this elder will tear you into pieces to atone for today's shame."
The two servants quickly took out the things from the Sword Sect's Great Elder.
The corners of Xiao Qingran's mouth twitched.
This old guy really has a lot of good things on him.
Four gold ingots, ten silver ingots, a large purse of small change, and a dozen silver notes, each worth at least one thousand taels. Around her neck hung a fine jade pendant.
What left Xiao Qingran speechless was that this old man was wearing a very famous watch on his wrist. These must have been looted from the Heike clan.
Finally, he pulled out a flare as thick as a chopstick from his boot.
However, as soon as the flare was taken out, Xiao Qingran pulled Ping Shuang back.
The two male servants covered their noses with their hands, their faces filled with disgust.
"It's been so long since this old guy washed his feet. This poisonous gas is too strong. Sister Ran, I think we should get out!"
The two of them left the room and took deep breaths of fresh air.
Luo Jiuyan walked over and looked at the two of them in confusion.
"What's going on?"
Ping Shuang waved her hands quickly: "Don't go near that room. There's poisonous gas in there."
Luo Jiuyan's expression froze. He worriedly grabbed Xiao Qingran's arm and was about to feel her pulse: "Let me see if you've been poisoned?"
Pingshuang: “…” This poison is not that poison, okay?
Xiao Qingran: "..." Did this guy misunderstand something?
At this time, the two servants in the room couldn't stand the smell and retreated.
A servant was holding a pile of things that were searched from the Sword Sect's Great Elder.
Xiao Qingran quickly said to him, "Light this flare now."
The servant glanced at Ping Shuang and saw her nod. He immediately took out a tinder and blew on it for a long time, but no fire came out. His face flushed with embarrassment.
After taking Xiao Qingran's pulse, Luo Jiuyan found that she was not poisoned, so he felt relieved.
Seeing that the servant had been unable to light a cigarette for a long time, he took out a lighter and handed it to him, demonstrating how to use it.
The servant had seen Ping Shuang use a lighter before, and he lit the fire instantly. He then quickly ignited the signal flare.
When a flash of green fireworks exploded in the sky, Xiao Qingran's lips curled up in a satisfied arc.
The bait is out, and it depends on when the fish will take the bait.
Before, it was the Zhou family and the Sword Sect who wanted to lure them.
Now she is trying to seduce the leader of the Sword Sect.
What a changing world!
Everyone slept very peacefully that night.
The next day, Xiao Qingran went shopping in Jindu City with Luo Jiuyan. Unexpectedly, after just a short while, heavy snow began to fall from the sky.
The two of them were about to return without an umbrella when Ping Shuang suddenly ran over and said excitedly, "Sister Ran, our people have sent news that someone from the Sword Sect is coming."
