Ping Shuang laughed: "What you said is exactly the same as what Patriarch Zhou said before he died."
The Sword Sect's Great Elder froze in thought: "What exactly do you want in exchange for letting me go?"
He even stopped calling himself "Elder." It seemed he had clearly understood his situation.
"Of course, it's like giving them a taste of their own medicine. We'll treat you the same way you treated us back then. Let you go? That depends on your performance. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can stay alive like me."
Pingshuang finished speaking and clapped her hands. Immediately, two servants came in with whips.
"Remember this whip? You picked it out especially for me."
Ping Shuang pointed at the Sword Sect's Great Elder and said, "Take turns, the two of you. Beat him until he begs for mercy."
Ever since the two servants were sold to human traffickers by the Zhou family, they have hated the Zhou family and the Sword Sect.
The Zhou family is now destroyed, but the people of the Sword Sect are still there.
Naturally, they vented their resentment on the Great Elder.
He showed no mercy.
Soon, the elder was beaten to a pulp, and the wounds on his body looked horrifying.
Ping Shuang and Xiao Qingran just watched indifferently and did not stop.
The great elder of the Sword Sect was quite a man of integrity. Even after being beaten like this, he didn't say a word.
The murderous intent in his eyes was almost condensed into substance.
"You won't be so proud for long. My eldest disciple Wu Qiao has already returned to the sect to get reinforcements. The leader of our Sword Sect is not someone you can easily mess with. If he shows up, you'll all be dead."
The Sword Sect's Great Elder originally thought that this would be enough to threaten Ping Shuang.
But unexpectedly, Pingshuang looked at him and laughed as if he was a fool.
Even Xiao Qingran couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
"What are you laughing at? Go call your father. You're such an ignorant child, it's fine if you don't know how powerful the Sword Sect is. But as the head of the family, doesn't he know?"
Ping Shuang curled her lips in disdain. "You want my father to come and listen to your boasting? No matter how powerful your Sword Sect is, you still fell into our hands. Even if your Sect Master really comes, I can finish you off before he gets here. Besides, I clearly remember the Wu Qiao you mentioned. When he died, not even ashes were left. Could it be that his spirit ran back to tip off the others?"
The Sword Sect's Great Elder's expression was slightly tense: "What do you mean?"
After asking, he shook his head in disbelief: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. With Wu Qiao's kung fu, none of you can match him. How..."
At this point, he suddenly stopped talking. Remembering how he had been tricked, he roared angrily, "You despicable people from the Heike clan."
"Tsk, this is really the thief crying thief."
Pingshuang rolled her eyes to the sky.
"It seems that this little bit of strength is of no use to you. Then let me tickle you myself."
Pingshuang took the whip from the servant's hand and used the hidden power that Xiao Qingran gave her to whip the Sword Sect's Great Elder hard.
The Sword Sect's Great Elder, who had originally not taken Ping Shuang seriously, immediately sensed something was amiss when he heard the sound of breaking through the air.
The next second, a howl like a pig being slaughtered resounded throughout the room.
Ping Shuang dropped the whip with a look of disdain: "When you tortured me, I didn't even groan. I thought you were so tough, but I didn't expect you to be so weak."
The Sword Sect's Great Elder was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his old face turned red with shame.
Xiao Qingran suddenly stepped forward and, taking advantage of the Great Elder's weakness, asked calmly, "You're also here for the Ping family's mine, right?"
Upon hearing this, the frail Great Elder looked at Xiao Qingran with a flickering gaze: "What did you say? I don't understand what you mean."
"Although Patriarch Zhou never betrayed you until his death, we have already found out that you were the ones who approached Patriarch Zhou, asking for help. Would a sect as large as the Sword Sect get involved in the mortal world for such a small amount of supplies? Patriarch Zhou may not be able to see your purpose, and your disciples may also be deceived by you. But your ambition is clearly written on your face. It's impossible to hide it from others."
The Sword Sect's Great Elder looked at Xiao Qingran in horror.
This time, he looked at her straight in the eye.
Even though Ping Shuang had previously said that the person who planned to kill Zhou Xiuwen was the little girl in front of him, he hadn't taken it seriously.
I just think that Zhou Xiuwen can only blame herself for being stupid for dying at the hands of such a little girl.
And now, he realized that he had made a fatal mistake, which was judging people by their appearance.
Even Patriarch Ping and Patriarch Zhou were unable to discern his purpose, but the little girl in front of them seemed to know exactly what he was thinking.
This demonic wisdom really shocked him.
"Tell me, ordinary mineral veins are of no use to you. What exactly is in the Heike family's mineral veins?"
Xiao Qingran leaned against the wall, folding his arms leisurely.
"Sister Ran, you said this old man teamed up with the Zhou family to deal with our Ping family because of our untapped mineral vein?"
Pingshuang was a little bit unbelieving.
"Besides our Ping family, there are also the Jin and Wang families. Why do the Zhou family and the Sword Sect only have their eyes on ours? Is it because our Ping family is easy to bully?"
The great elder of the Sword Sect looked at Ping Shuang coldly and thought, this is the normal reaction.
The abnormal one should be the girl in front of her.
Now that he thought about it, the trap that he and Patriarch Zhou had prepared for the girl in front of them was just a joke in front of her.
The Zhou family was destroyed and his Sword Sect members were captured alive. I think this was also the work of this girl.
"Who are you?"
The Sword Sect's Great Elder suddenly became frightened.
He suspected that the girl in front of him was most likely not from the secular world, but an ancestor of a hidden sect in the ancient martial arts world who had practiced to the point of rejuvenation.
"You are not qualified to know who I am. I'll give you one chance. Tell me, does the leader of your Sword Sect know about the Heike mine?"
The Sword Sect's Great Elder's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously shook his head: "I don't know. I am the only one who knows."
Xiao Qingran smiled, her smile very playful: "Do you have so little confidence in your clan leader? Are you afraid that I will harm him?"
The Sword Sect's Great Elder glared at Xiao Qingran with an annoyed look on his face. "What a joke! Our Sword Sect is one of the top ten sects in the entire hidden world. How could we be afraid of a little girl like you?"
"Tsk, since you're not afraid, then call him over and let me fight him."
Xiao Qingran said it lightly and nonchalantly, but to the ears of the Sword Sect's Grand Elder, he was completely ignorant of the immensity of the world.
A little girl, no matter how powerful she is, is only smart at best. She still wants to compete with their leader in martial arts?
Don’t you know that the Sword Sect’s disciples are among the top three in terms of fighting power among all the hidden sects?
The reason he didn't want to drag the sect leader into this was simply to distance the sect from the matter. He didn't want the other hidden sects to know that the Sword Sect's leader was secretly colluding with people from the mortal world over a mineral vein.
