"It's you?"
Qin Shi was slightly startled when he saw the face of the red-robed woman.
The red-robed woman did not give him a chance to speak. She used her sleeve to block his lips and pulled his hand as she ran out of the town. "Shh!
Follow me! "
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Shi decided to follow her.
The two passed through the residences and circled around Babao Town before finally arriving at a dilapidated stone temple outside the town.
This stone temple was very dilapidated and dirty. The ground was full of gravel and sand. There was a stone statue in the center that was full of scars and a huge spider web spread out on the roof.
The red-robed woman pulled Qin Shi closer to the Stone Temple. She ran to the entrance of the Stone Temple alone and glanced left and right. Seeing that no one followed her, she let out a long sigh and closed the rotten red wooden door, making a squeaking sound.
After closing the door, she pushed down the red robe covering her face. Her beautiful black hair escaped from the shackles of the red robe and spread out.
She was very beautiful, to the point of being breathtaking. She had a pair of willow leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, cherry red lips, and an oval face that looked like a peony blooming in the hot summer.
Seeing the woman's delicate face, Qin Shi was first shocked by her beauty. He then narrowed his eyes and said, "It really is you."
"Young Noble still remembers me?" The red-robed woman pursed her lips and smiled.
"Of course I remember. Ancient City's number one beauty. How many people would forget such a devastatingly beautiful woman?
Am I right?
Miss Tan Xuehui. "
Qin Shi said the woman's name. This woman was the number one beauty of Ancient City. She had met Qin Shi once at the Ancient Wind Auction House.
Of course, Qin Shi did not know that the reason why he was remembered by Tan Xuehui was mainly because of Lin Yu's outstanding performance.
If he knew the truth, he would rather Tan Xuehui forget him.
Tan Xuehui smiled. "Hehe, to be remembered by Young Noble, this little girl is deeply honored."
"Why did you bring me here?"
Qin Shi smiled politely and directly cut to the main topic.
He loved beauty, but he was not a person who indulged in it. He could definitely distinguish between priority and priority.
Tan Xuehui was stunned for a moment. Few people could remain calm in front of her peerless beauty.
Because of this, she looked at Qin Shi a few more times. She lifted her red sleeve to cover her face and smiled. "Judging from your anxious look, you must be worried about your girlfriend who was captured by the Yunding Sect, right?"
"Hmm?
Do you know what happened? "
"Yes, I escaped from their hands!"
After a moment of silence, traces of struggle flashed across Tan Xuehui's beautiful eyes. Soon after, she rolled up her red sleeves, revealing her pure white skin.
On her fair wrists, there were streaks of blood, which was a ghastly sight.
Qin Shi was instantly infuriated. "Was this done by the Yunding Sect?"
"Hmm …"
Tan Xuehui nodded sorrowfully.
"What an inhumane beast!"
Qin Shi's eyes flashed with fire. He angrily clenched his fists, making cracking sounds. "What do they want to do?"
Tan Xuehui hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter should start from two months ago. Two months ago, the leader of the Yunding Sect obtained a special cultivation method from somewhere. It is said that this method can quickly increase one's cultivation, but the premise is that it needs a lot of Yin items."
Speaking of this, Tan Xuehui's beautiful eyes were burning with a fierce fire. "But, as everyone knows, Yin items are very rare.
For this reason, the leader of the Yunding Sect chose a very despicable method! "
"What method?"
"Using the virgin blood of young girls!"
Qin Shi leaned against the stone statue and murmured with cold eyes, "The virgin blood of young girls?"
The Burning Book trembled at the waist, and the Jade in the Book said, "Indeed, virgin blood is the purest and most natural Yin treasure in the world … Compared to Yin magic treasures, it is much easier to obtain!"
"Good job, the Yunding Sect is really heartless!" Qin Shi suddenly understood and punched the stone statue hard.
Bang!
With a loud noise, a huge crack appeared on the stone statue, and the whole stone temple shook.
Qin Shi growled, "Just now, the disciples of the Yunding Sect captured those young girls for this cultivation method?"
"Hmm, at first, the Yunding Sect just swept through the ancient city and captured all the young girls who were waiting to be married."
"But later, the population of the ancient city was limited, and gradually, it could not meet the needs of the Yunding Sect. After that, they spread their hands to the surrounding towns, and all the towns within a hundred miles were not spared. Babao Town was the last town."
Qin Shi's eyes narrowed. "What about Barren Town?"
"Barren Town?"
Tan Xuehui was surprised. She shook her head with a strange look in her eyes. "Barren Town is not there. At first, I was also curious. When all the towns were being persecuted, the Yunding Sect did not do anything to Barren Town.
Later, I heard that it was a big shot from the imperial city who saved Barren Town. How lucky we are. "
Knowing that Barren Town was safe, Qin Shi was obviously relieved. However, he couldn't guess who the big shot Tan Xuehui was talking about was. Eventually, he could only attribute it to Fufeng.
If Lin Yu knew about this, he would definitely turn against Qin Shi.
Of course, although Barren Town was safe, the behavior of the Yunding Sect had completely infuriated Qin Shi. He squinted and said, "What about the Lihuo Sect?
Didn't they stand up to stop them? "
"The Lihuo Sect would definitely not sit and wait. But do you know what happened three months ago?" Tan Xuehui pinched the sleeve of her red robe and asked.
"Three months ago?
What happened? "
"Three months ago, the two sects started a great war for a disciple named Qin Shi in the Sky-burning Mountain Range. It shocked the entire ancient city. You don't know?" Tan Xuehui was surprised.
Qin Shi snapped out of his daze and remembered that Tan Xuehui didn't know his name. Thus, he didn't make any unnecessary explanations. He only shook his head and said, "I'm not from Gu City. I just have a few old friends here."
"I see."
Tan Xuehui didn't ask more. She explained, "Three months ago, the elite disciples of the Yunding Sect were all killed by this disciple named Qin Shi. He was very powerful."
"That powerful?"
Qin Shi listened to others praising him and enjoyed it. Jade in the Book directly gave him a supercilious look when it burned the book.
Tan Xuehui nodded. "Yes, but because of this, he brought a great disaster to the Lihuo Sect. It is said that even the Sky-burning Sect sent people, which caused great damage to the Lihuo Sect."
"Later, the heads of the two sects announced that they would go into seclusion at the same time. The head of the Yunding Sect came out early and happened to obtain this evil cultivation method. In two months, the strength of the sect increased rapidly."
"After they were killed by Qin Shi, the empty elite disciples were filled by new disciples. The position of the Three Young Overlords was taken by the latecomers. Now the Three Young Overlords have all reached the middle stage of the Spirit Breaking Realm!"
"What?
The middle stage of the Spirit Breaking Realm? "
Qin Shi's heart skipped a beat, and his clear eyes narrowed.
"Yes, now the top ten disciples of the Yunding Sect are all in the Spirit Breaking Realm. The head of the sect has made a great leap, breaking through the shackles and jumping into the ranks of the King Spiritual Realm." Tan Xuehui nodded and replied.
The King Spiritual Realm?
Qin Shi couldn't help but feel a little solemn. He raised his finger and touched the bridge of his nose.
He never expected that Lin Yun would actually break through to the King Spiritual Realm in three months.
The growth of the Yunding Sect was even more frightening.
It seemed that this cultivation method was indeed extraordinary.
Tan Xuehui paused and ran her fingers through her hair before she continued, "Not long ago, the head of the Lihuo Sect came out of seclusion. When he learned of the Yunding Sect's actions, he flew into a rage and started a war with the Yunding Sect. But in two months, the gap between the two sects has widened. The Lihuo Sect is no match for the Yunding Sect."
"How is the Lihuo Sect doing now?"
"They can only barely defend."
Tan Xuehui shook her head unfavorably and said, "Even one of the eight purple rank disciples of the Li Fire Sect, a purple rank female disciple was defeated and captured by the Cloud Cauldron Sect."
Qin Shi squinted his eyes and asked, "Is that female disciple called Yin Mo?"
"You know about her?" Tan Xuehui asked curiously.
"Truth be told, she's my friend. I came to the ancient city to save her," Qin Shi said honestly. He had already grasped the whole story and didn't want to waste any more time.
After all, the longer he delayed, the more danger Yin Mo would be in.
For this reason, he cupped his hands at Tan Xuehui and said, "Miss Tan, thank you for your kind words. Yin Mo is my friend, and I have to go save her now. I'll take my leave first."
"Sir, please wait."
Tan Xuehui was stunned. She quickly pulled Qin Shi and asked, "You're going to the Yunding Sect to save her just like that?"
"What else?" Qin Shi pursed his lips.
Tan Xuehui was stunned. She looked at Qin Shi from head to toe, trying to probe Qin Shi's cultivation.
However, she was only in the middle stage of the Spirit Breaking State, so Qin Shi was a mystery to her.
Judging by the strength of Qin Shi's attack that shattered the stone statue, Tan Xuehui knew his strength was extraordinary.
But even so, she believed that he was at most in the early stage of the Spirit Breaking State and was a little arrogant, so she advised, "I know that Young Master's strength is extraordinary, but Young Master is alone. Now that the Cloud Cauldron Sect is heavily guarded, wanting to break into the Cloud Cauldron Sect alone is simply a pipe dream."
Qin Shi was stunned. He understood the meaning behind Tan Xuehui's eyes, but he didn't explain anything. He just thanked her. "Thank you, Miss Tan, but I won't let anything happen to my friend even if I have to die!
Now that the Cloud Cauldron Sect has gone mad over this cultivation technique, anything is possible! "
"Actually, Sir, you don't have to worry."
After hesitating for a moment, Tan Xuehui knew that Qin Shi was referring to virgin blood. She laughed. "Miss Yin Mo was taken to the Yunding Sect not to use virgin blood, but to threaten the Lihuo Sect!"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Qin Shi calmed down a lot. "What do you mean?"
"Although the Yunding Sect is powerful, the Lihuo Sect has a century-old foundation. It's not easy to break it. Now, the head of the Lihuo Sect is also at the late stage of the Spirit Breaking State. Together with the sect-protecting array, the defense is not a problem.
"For this reason, after the Yunding Sect captured Yin Mo, they wanted to threaten the Lihuo Sect and force the head of the Lihuo Sect to give in," Tan Xuehui said gently.
Qin Shi sneered. "Hehe, threaten the Lihuo Sect?
Would the Lihuo Sect care about the safety of their disciples?
How ridiculous! "
Feeling Qin Shi's disdain and anger, Tan Xuehui was slightly stunned. She shook her head and said, "I don't know what conflict you have with the Lihuo Sect, but this time, the head of the Lihuo Sect did promise the Yunding Sect!"
"What?
Ling Xiao agreed to give up his position? "Qin Shi was quite surprised.
Hearing the words "Ling Xiao", Tan Xuehui was also surprised, but she obediently didn't ask. She just shook her head and said, "It's not an abdication, but an agreement. The two sects agreed to have a duel in the ancient city seven days later. Both sides will send three disciples. If the Yunding Sect wins, the Lihuo Sect will have to surrender to the Yunding Sect. If the Lihuo Sect wins, the Yunding Sect will release Miss Yin Mo."
"Huh?"
Qin Shi's eyes widened. This was clearly an unfair agreement. "The Lihuo Sect agreed?"
"Yes, so in these seven days, Miss Yin Mo will definitely be fine. I think the young master should take his time to think about it. Why don't you join forces with the Lihuo Sect? That way, the odds of winning will be higher!" Tan Xuehui said what she was thinking.
"Join forces with the Lihuo Sect?"
Qin Shi sneered in disdain. He didn't explain much, but this was undoubtedly good news for him. Seven days?
That's enough.
????
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the stone temple.
Qin Shi's hearing was very good. When he heard the footsteps, he frowned. He surrounded his wrist with spiritual power and pulled Tan Xuehui to lean against the red wooden door. He made a shushing gesture and said, "Shh, don't make a sound!"
Tan Xuehui was stunned and didn't come back to her senses.
Squeak!
The door of the stone temple was pushed open. An ugly young man wearing simple clothes walked into the stone temple.
As soon as the young man entered the stone temple, Qin Shi waved his hand and a spiritual power wrapped around the young man's neck. He grabbed his throat and growled, "Who are you?"
"Young master, please have mercy!"
