80: Those who refuse to cooperate shall be punished

Qiyin Mountain Hall.

Inside a grand hall.

"Brother Qiyin, according to our agreement three years ago, I would transplant spirit bones for two hundred of your soldiers within three years. That task is now complete."

A middle-aged man in black robes looked at a man in brocade robes opposite him.

The black-robed man was none other than the Lord of Heavenly Yin Hall, a Dao Repository Realm Late Stage cultivator; the brocade-robed man was the Lord of Qiyin City, a Tuojiang Realm Late Stage cultivator.

The Lord of Qiyin City smiled, cupped his fists, and said, "Many thanks, Lord!"

Over three years, his subordinates had continuously emerged as cultivators, all thanks to the Tianyin Hall's spirit bone transplantation.

Those soldiers who had spirit bones transplanted became his private army.

Two hundred private soldiers, each a cultivator, were far stronger than ordinary soldiers.

If properly cultivated, they could easily crush even a thousand-strong army, and this would be his greatest reliance in the future.

The Lord of Heavenly Yin Hall said, "The one from Tianqi City sent word that two people from the Tianquan Division need to be dealt with..."

Dealing with two minor troubles was no problem for him; what he worried about was the appearance of a powerful expert from the Tianquan Division.

However, the one from Tianqi City calculated everything meticulously and should have considered all possibilities.

The Lord of Qiyin City smiled and said, "Don't worry! A Lin Qinghuang at Tuojiang Realm Middle Stage plus a useless heir apparent can be suppressed with just one hand. You don't need to act, Lord; I'll handle it."

"Alright then!"

The Lord of Heavenly Yin Hall smiled indifferently, not taking the matter too seriously.

Boom!

Just then, a booming sound came from outside the hall.

The Lord of Heavenly Yin Hall said indifferently, "The small trouble has arrived."

"Hahahaha! It's been a while since this Lord of Qiyin City has made a move. I'll go out and test my skills."

The Lord of Qiyin City stood up and walked out of the hall.

Outside the hall.

On a plaza.

Two hundred soldiers surrounded Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang. They were all cultivators, at least at the Xuanhuang Realm, and among them were even ten Shackles Realm cultivators.

Not far away, there were also many people from the Tianyin Hall. They watched with playful smiles, enjoying the show, and did not step forward.

Lin Qinghuang took out a token and said indifferently, "The Tianquan Division is handling a case. Those who don't want to die, get out of the way."

"What is the Tianquan Division? This is the Tianyin Hall!"

A commander at Shackles Realm Middle Stage, holding a long saber, wore a sinister smile, not putting Lin Qinghuang in his eyes at all.

"That's right! This is the Tianyin Hall. Even if you're a dragon, you'll have to coil up when you come here."

The other soldiers sneered repeatedly. Ever since they had spirit bones transplanted and transformed from ordinary people into cultivators, they were filled with confidence in their strength.

Today, let alone people from the Tianquan Division, even if the King of Heaven came here, he would have to stand aside.

"You're courting death."

Killing intent emerged in Lin Qinghuang's eyes. With a wave of her hand, Tianya Sword appeared in her grasp.

"Kill them."

That Shackles Realm commander's tone was chilling. His long saber was unsheathed, and he violently charged at Lin Qinghuang, striking with his saber, revealing a biting cold gleam.

Clang!

Lin Qinghuang's long sword was unsheathed, and a green sword energy appeared. The commander's long saber was cut off, and a chilling sword energy suddenly sliced across his neck.

Plop!

The next second, the commander's head flew high into the air, blood gushing out, turning him into a headless corpse.

"..."

The surrounding soldiers were about to attack when they saw the scene before them. Their hearts tightened, and their eyes revealed horror.

This commander was already at Shackles Realm Middle Stage, the strongest among the ten Shackles Realm cultivators, yet he was unexpectedly killed with a single sword strike.

Lin Qinghuang gripped Tianya Sword, her killing intent surging, and was about to strike again.

"Presumptuous!"

The Lord of Qiyin City instantly rushed out. Seeing his subordinate killed, his face darkened, and he struck Lin Qinghuang with a palm.

He had spent many resources to cultivate this commander, but he was unexpectedly killed just like that, which made him extremely angry.

He must kill this woman and take her spirit bone to compensate for his loss.

Whoosh!

Lin Qinghuang struck with a sword, and green sword energy erupted, clashing with the Lord of Qiyin City's palm print.

Boom!

A roaring sound rang out. The Lord of Qiyin City's palm print was shattered by the sword, and the powerful force directly sent him retreating ten meters.

Ten meters away.

The Lord of Qiyin City stabilized his body. He glanced at his palm; the web of his hand was split open, and there was a sword mark on his arm, which made him feel a little startled.

According to the information he received, Lin Qinghuang only had a Tuojiang Realm Middle Stage cultivation, but he didn't expect her strength to be so terrifying that even he, a Tuojiang Realm Late Stage cultivator, suffered a great loss.

Lin Qinghuang stared at the Lord of Qiyin City with a chilling gaze: "Lord of Qiyin City, participating in the Tianyin Hall's spirit bone transplantation and refusing to cooperate with the Tianquan Division's investigation, your crime deserves death!"

"Want to kill this Lord of Qiyin City? Then let's see if you have the strength."

The Lord of Qiyin City slapped his waist, and a long halberd flew out from his storage bag.

He gripped the halberd, took a step, and charged at Lin Qinghuang. The halberd chopped down, carrying a violent force.

Lin Qinghuang gripped Tianya Sword tightly and struck out with a sword.

Boom!

The long halberd and long sword clashed, the ground exploded, shattered stones splattered, and powerful forces swept in all directions.

Crack!

A crisp sound immediately followed. The Lord of Qiyin City's long halberd was cut off by a single sword, and the sword energy struck his chest.

Boom!

The Lord of Qiyin City was sent flying by a single sword strike. A hideous sword mark appeared on his chest, and blood flowed freely.

Lin Qinghuang's figure flickered, appearing in front of the Lord of Qiyin City, and she struck at his head with her sword.

"Not good..."

The Lord of Qiyin City had just stabilized his body when he saw Lin Qinghuang striking with her sword. His pupils contracted, and he couldn't dodge the sword at all.

"Act!"

Seeing this, the Lord of Heavenly Yin Hall slowly spoke. It seemed the Lord of Qiyin City was still unreliable, and the people of Tianyin Hall still had to act.

A white-haired old man moved, instantly appearing in front of Lin Qinghuang.

He struck Lin Qinghuang with a palm, his strength extremely terrifying. This was an Elder of Tianyin Hall, a Tuojiang Realm Peak existence.

Lin Qinghuang immediately retracted her sword to block.

Bang!

The palm print struck Tianya Sword, and the powerful force directly sent Lin Qinghuang retreating more than ten meters.

The Lord of Qiyin City breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the Lord of Heavenly Yin Hall and cupped his fists, saying, "Many thanks, Lord!"

"Mm!"

The Lord of Heavenly Yin Hall replied calmly.

The Lord of Qiyin City sneered repeatedly, staring at Lin Qinghuang: "You do have some strength, but unfortunately, you're bound to die today."

"..."

Lin Qinghuang remained silent.

"Die!"

The white-haired old man once again charged at Lin Qinghuang, striking with a palm, causing the air to vibrate and strong winds to howl, full of imposing power.

Lin Qinghuang gripped Tianya Sword and did not dodge.

Whoosh!

Just as the old man's palm was about to hit Lin Qinghuang.

Xie Weilou casually waved his hand, and burial flower sword shot towards the old man. The sword was not unsheathed, yet its power was not weak, directly shattering the white-haired old man's palm print.

Boom!

The white-haired old man stretched out both hands, blocking the incoming burial flower sword. The powerful force of burial flower sword pushed him back.

Xie Weilou took a step, instantly appearing in front of the white-haired old man. He gripped the sword hilt.

Clang!

burial flower sword was unsheathed, and a black sword light appeared, suddenly grazing the old man's neck...
