Xiao Qingran had an indifferent expression. She raised her wrist slightly and poured a cup of tea directly on Qin Xingyu's head.
"You're looking for death."
With tea stains all over his head and it being such a cold day, Qin Xingyu's eyes were blazing with anger and he wanted to eat Xiao Qingran.
"You didn't think about ending up in this situation, did you? From the very beginning, you never intended to let me go, nor did anyone from the Ping or Zhou families. You guys really went to great lengths to get the Ping family's mineral veins!"
Qin Xingyu's pupils shrank, and his eyes seemed to be filled with poison, extremely vicious.
"Tell me, what's in that mine of the Heike clan?"
Qin Xingyu snorted coldly and said nothing.
Xiao Qingran sneered: "You won't tell me, right? Then I will lead my men to attack the Sword Sect, just like I destroyed the Zhou family, and wipe out the entire Sword Sect."
Qin Xingyu snorted again with disdain: "Just you? Don't think that you are invincible just because you defeated me. My Sword Sect has a mountain protection formation. You can't even enter the mountain gate."
"Really? I want to see if it's a level seven or eight formation. If it's higher than these two, then we can only wait and see."
Luo Jiuyan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, but what he said made Qin Xingyu no longer able to remain calm.
"You? You're so arrogant?"
Forget about the seventh-level formation. Their entire sect's highest-level formation was only a fourth-level one. That was set up by their long-deceased ancestor. And the sect's protective formation was only a third-level one.
He looked at Luo Jiuyan in fear. Could this boy be a formation master?
He wanted to see from Luo Jiuyan's face whether Luo Jiuyan was deceiving him.
But after watching for a long time, Luo Jiuyan's expression remained the same. This made Qin Xingyu a little unsure whether Luo Jiuyan's words were true or not.
"You're just a young boy, and you know a seventh or eighth level formation? Even the leader of the Formation Sect wouldn't dare to boast like that."
"The leader of the Zhen Sect? Are you people in the ancient martial arts world too narrow-minded? Haven't you heard the saying, 'There are always people better than you, and there are always masters among the people?'"
Xiao Qingran showed a look of disdain: "We both come from the secular world."
Qin Xingyu's eyes quickly swept across Xiao Qingran and Luo Jiuyan's faces, and he was shocked.
If what these two people said is true, then doesn't it mean that people in the secular world are more powerful than those in their ancient martial arts world?
How is this possible?
Qin Xingyu felt particularly upset that he had such a ridiculous idea.
The reason why the ancient martial arts world is called the ancient martial arts world is because the spiritual energy in the secular world is thin.
The spiritual energy here is more abundant than in the secular world.
Only in the ancient martial arts world can one cultivate the great way, maintain eternal youth, and achieve immortality.
I wonder if people in the secular world dare to have such an idea?
Wasn’t it because of the spiritual energy of the ancient martial arts world that he was able to live to the age of 121?
If he had come to the secular world, he would probably have gone through two reincarnations.
So, these two people were deliberately deceiving him.
How could he be fooled?
“Die!”
Luo Jiuyan spoke again.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xingyu felt the temperature in the room suddenly rise.
A ball of fire the size of a basketball suddenly floated above his head.
Qin Xingyu retreated in horror.
"What a shame to waste such a beautiful appearance. They say appearance reflects the heart, but sometimes it's not always true."
Xiao Qingran turned away with a look of regret.
"No, you can't kill me. Aren't you her man? Are you going to kill her slave?"
Qin Xingyu felt the strong murderous intent coming from Luo Jiuyan, and growled unwillingly.
Xiao Qingran raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned around and looked at Qin Xingyu who was terrified: "You finally admit that you are my slave? I haven't even used the master's privileges yet!"
Xiao Qingran glanced at Luo Jiuyan.
Luo Jiuyan immediately retracted the flame.
Qin Xingyu felt as if the sword hanging over his head had been withdrawn. He no longer cared about his image and sat down on the ground. The arrogance on his body disappeared in an instant.
"If I tell you about the mineral vein, will you let me go free?
Qin Xingyu dropped the sword in his hand, turned his head to look at the wound on his shoulder, and his heart was filled with frustration.
"Are you asking this knowingly?"
Xiao Qingran sneered.
Qin Xingyu laughed at himself: "Yes, you are young, but your hearts are cruel enough. Your methods are even more cruel than those of me, an old man who has lived for more than 120 years."
"If I tell you the truth, will you let me go? From now on, I will obey all my master's orders, and the entire Sword Sect will serve you alone."
Qin Xingyu had probably already come to terms with reality. Since he was powerless to resist, he might as well accept his fate.
As long as he obeyed and left Xiao Qingran, he would still be the high and mighty leader of the Sword Sect.
"Stop wasting time. Whether I'll let you go or not depends on your performance."
Xiao Qingran was a little impatient.
Qin Xingyu took a deep breath and told the Heike family that there were spirit stones in their mines.
"Our Sword Sect's disciples are spread across the entire Ancient Martial Arts world. The discovery of spirit stones within the Ping Clan's mines was made by an inner disciple of our sect who possesses a treasure-hunting beast. As everyone knows, relying solely on the tiny amount of spiritual energy in the air is insufficient for achieving a breakthrough in one's internal strength. Spirit stones are the product of millennia of concentrated spiritual energy. With spirit stones, those of us who practice Ancient Martial Arts can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Finding such a large spirit stone mine in the Ancient Martial Arts world is truly rare."
"You can definitely spend money to buy the Heike clan's spirit stone mine."
Xiao Qingran stared at him fiercely.
"Oh, you think too simply. There are so many hidden sects in the ancient martial arts world. If the news leaks out, our Sword Sect will become the target of public criticism. The only way is to steal the treasure and kill people, and do it secretly."
Xiao Qingran scoffed, "There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Do you think you can hide your ambitions by helping the Zhou family deal with the Ping family? There are still many smart people in this world."
"So what? By the time a sect discovers something's wrong, those spirit stones will already belong to our Sword Sect. Even if they have objections, they won't dare to cause trouble for our Sword Sect. There's an unwritten rule among the hidden sects: major sects can't kill each other. If they break that rule and cause trouble for our Sword Sect, they'll be making enemies with all the sects."
"You're pretty good at calculating!"
Xiao Qingran looked disdainful: "In the end, it still fell into my hands."
"It was just an accident."
Qin Xingyu refused to admit that he overestimated himself.
"Okay, now that the truth of the matter has been revealed, you can return to the Sword Sect! As for the Sword Sect's Great Elder and the group of disciples who followed him, if they did something wrong, they will be punished. I will send them to the Ping family's mine to mine. You don't have to worry about the spirit stones. As long as you are obedient, I will reward you with some spirit stones. If you are not afraid of death and come to cause trouble for the Ping family behind my back, I will make you live a life worse than death. To tell you the truth, I will only make a contract, not terminate it. It is impossible for you to gain freedom."
Qin Xingyu's breath was choked and his face became extremely ugly.
