“As expected, I can’t kill him…”

Lin Yan turned to look at Xiao Ye with anger and mockery on his face. “Why? One couldn’t beat me, so another came?”

Xiao Ye’s expression was cold. “This friend of mine is too impulsive. I apologize to you on his behalf.”

“Apologize?” Lin Yan was expressionless. “Why don’t I kill him first before apologizing to you?”

As he spoke, Lin Yan placed his hand on the back of Qin Xiang’s head.

Xiao Ye’s eyes narrowed, but he did not move. “You can kill him, but you have to think carefully. Qin Xiang is from an aristocratic family and has a huge background behind him. You are just a commoner in the lower city. Can you withstand the revenge that will follow?”

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes. “Are you threatening me? Let’s not talk about whether they can come to the lower city. You also said that I’m just a mediocre person in the lower city. Wouldn’t it be a huge profit to be able to kill a descendant of an aristocratic family?”

Xiao Ye subconsciously tightened his grip on the handle of the knife and stopped talking. He couldn’t tell if Lin Yan was telling the truth or not, so he didn’t want to agitate him.

If this guy really killed Qin Xiang, things would be terrible.

The two of them faced each other. One of them was tense, and the other was calm. Xiao Ye subconsciously felt that his aura seemed to be suppressed by Lin Yan.

After a while, Lin Yan’s face relaxed. He grabbed Qin Xiang’s neck and lifted him up. At the same time, he held his sword in his hand.

Xiao Ye’s entire body tensed up.

“Let’s go!”

Xiao Ye asked coldly, “Where are we going?”

“Of course we’re going to Issuer Liu! Let her judge! In the Demon Suppression Division, colleagues killing each other should be punished!”

Xiao Ye’s pupils constricted slightly. After a moment of silence, he said, “Alright!”

Xiao Ye was in front, and Lin Yan was behind. He carried Qin Xiang and swaggered around Ding’an City.

Qin Xiang was woken up halfway. However, when he saw that he was being carried around like a piglet, his face flushed red with anger and he immediately fainted again.

He arrived at the Demon Suppression Division’s residence.

The person he bumped into was Fan Xiaopeng. He seemed to have just returned from his work and was carrying a pile of rolls. At first, when he saw Lin Yan carrying someone, he shrunk his neck and recalled the scene of his neck being held by Lin Yan.

When he saw that Lin Yan was holding Qin Xiang, the rolls in his hand fell to the ground. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Eh, Qin Xiang? Qin Xiang! Lin Yan, you beat Qin Xiang up?!”

His lips trembled in shock.

Xiao Ye frowned slightly. He originally wanted to enter quietly and try his best to keep it a secret.

However, with Fan Xiaopeng’s exclamation, all the Demon Suppression Guards and clerks in the entire residence popped their heads out and stared at Lin Yan and Qin Xiang in shock.

Xiao Ye subconsciously covered his face with his hand. This scene, when Qin Xiang wakes up, I’m afraid…

Forget it, I’ve done my best…

Fifteen minutes later.

There were many people outside the door, and they stuck their heads in from time to time.

Qin Xiang’s popularity in the Demon Suppression Division was far higher than Lin Yan had imagined. After all, his background was illustrious, his talent and strength were abnormally high, and he looked like an elegant young master. He was definitely someone whom girls loved and whom men were jealous of.

Yet now, he’d been casually tossed to the ground like a dead dog, and even his sect’s divine weapon, the Blackwind Sword was taken away…

Everyone looked at Lin Yan, who was tapping the Blackwind Sword as if nothing had happened, and shrank their necks.

Where did this ruthless person come from?

At the head of the table, Liu Lanqing sat softly on a chair. Her jade fingers tapped the edge of the table. On her shoulder, the fiery parrot that he had not seen for a long time stood up again.

“In that case, Qin Xiang found trouble with you because he felt humiliated and was defeated by you and brought here? Xiao Ye, is what he said true?”

Xiao Ye sighed and said, “It’s true. I advised Qin Xiang not to be rash, but he didn’t listen. I could only follow him, in case someone really died.”

Liu Lanqing’s flirtatious face revealed mockery. “You’re a saberman. Do you only know how to persuade people with your mouth?”

Xiao Ye’s expression changed for a moment, but he did not answer.

Liu Lanqing curled his fingers and suddenly pointed. Two fiery red forces shot out, heading straight for Xiao Ye and Qin Xiang.

Xiao Ye’s expression changed, but he forcefully suppressed the urge to raise his saber and let the force enter his body. His skin instantly burned red, but he held the hilt tightly and endured it.

Qin Xiang, who was unconscious on the ground, suddenly woke up after the force entered his body. Before he could see his surroundings clearly, he flipped over and half-knelt on the ground. He could not help but scream softly. The force he endured was much stronger than Xiao Ye’s.

Looking at Qin Xiang, who was half-kneeling on the ground and sweating profusely, Liu Lanqing said indifferently, “Qin Xiang, it seems that this small temple of my Vermillion Bird Hall can’t accommodate a great Buddha like you… I-

Liu Lanqing did not continue, but Qin Xiang’s body trembled slightly. “Issuer Liu, I know my mistake.”

Only then did Liu Lanqing turn to Lin Yan, surprise flashing across her eyes. She could clearly see that Lin Yan was still at the Tough Realm.

A Tough Realm cultivator from the lower city could actually defeat a genius from the Divine Weapon Valley?

How did he block Qin Xiang’s move, the extremely powerful Wind Ring?

Even she would have to spend some effort to deal with that move. How did Lin Yan resolve it?

No matter how she thought about it, it was an extremely unbelievable thing.

She suppressed her surprise and revealed a warm smile. “Lin Yan, you’ve suffered. Do you have any other requests?”

Lin Yan pointed at the wound on his chest. “Issuer Liu, Qin Xiang intercepted me halfway and almost killed me, leaving me with extremely serious injuries. He also caused me a huge mental pressure. I demand compensation!”

As Qin Xiang endured immense pain, he glared at Lin Yan. Who was the one being carried along the streets under the f*cking mental pressure?

Who was the one that lost all face?!

Liu Lanqing nodded. “That’s right! Qin Xiang, I remember that you haven’t reimbursed your salary and merits this year, right? In that case, withdraw them and give them to Lin Yan as compensation!”

Qin Xiang’s eyes instantly turned red. It was not that his heart ached for his salary and merits. To a descendant of an aristocratic family like him, this was nothing.

It was the record!

Withdrawing his salary and merits would probably spread throughout the Demon Suppression Division very quickly and make him a laughing stock. Once news of this spread to the Divine Weapon Valley, his reputation would suffer a huge blow!

However, under Liu Lanqing’s gaze, he gritted his teeth and did not dare to refute.

“Issuer Liu, how much are these merits worth?”

“If it were you, you would have at least four to five Great Merits. In short, I won’t treat you badly.”

“Thank you, Issuer Liu, but…” He pointed at Qin Xiang. “After all, he came from a noble background. If he wants to take revenge on me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist!”

“You’re thinking too much. Not to mention the natural chasm between the prefecture capital and the lower city, just this Divine Weapon Valley has always been strict.

“Since you defeated him openly, no one will find trouble with you. If Qin Xiang really finds an expert behind him, he can forget about standing up for himself in Divine Weapon Valley for the rest of his life.”

Lin Yan was unmoved and continued, “Issuer Liu, even if he doesn’t find trouble with me, he might find trouble with my family and friends. Even if he doesn’t come to me openly, he will secretly find trouble with me…”

Liu Lanqing touched his forehead. “You’re a cautious person. Forget it, I promise you that with me around, Qin Xiang will never have any thoughts of talcing revenge on you. Qin Xiang, don’t you think so?”

Qin Xiang’s face flushed red as he gritted his teeth and said, “Yes!”

Lin Yan said gratefully, “Thankyou, Issuer Liu!”

“If there’s nothing else, you can leave first.”

Lin Yan cupped his hands. “I’ll take my leave.”

With that, he carried Qin Xiang’s sword and walked out.

“My sword…”

Qin Xiang endured the pain and gritted his teeth.

Lin Yan raised his sword. “Your sword? It was in the past, but not anymore. This is my spoils of war.”

Qin Xiang glared at him. “Issuer Liu, he’s too much!”

Liu Lanqing knocked on the table and chuckled. “Lin Yan is right. You can only blame yourself for losing to him. You’re useless.”

Qin Xiang gritted his teeth.

“However, Lin Yan, this sword is a good sword from the Divine Weapon Valley.

If you really hold it in your hand, I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep it.”

Lin Yan nodded and said, “Issuer Liu, you’re wise. I’m not a swordsman, so it’s useless to hold a sword. If… you can take out 80 to 100 second-grade Spirit Marrows to redeem this sword, I can reluctantly agree.”

A hundred second-grade Spirit Marrows?!

Qin Xiang was furious. His eyes rolled back and he fainted again.

At this moment, Xiao Ye was silent for a moment. He took out a small golden bag and threw it to Lin Yan.

“There’s a third-grade Spirit Marrow here, plus some second and first-grade Spirit Marrows.”

Lin Yan opened the golden bag and a glint flashed across his eyes.

At a glance, there were two second-grade Spirit Marrows, five or six first-grade Spirit Marrows, and a strange gray sharp stone that looked like the claw of a beast. It looked different from the Spirit Marrow, but it emitted the aura of the Spirit Marrow.

Lin Yan looked around. Xiao Ye was glaring at him coldly.

The sword in his hand was indeed not an ordinary weapon. It was definitely worth more than those Spirit Marrows. However, it was probably impossible to take this sword away. Besides, it was useless…

Hence, he took the Spirit Marrows and casually threw the sword to Xiao Ye. “Deal, you’re welcome to come again!”

With that, Lin Yan bade farewell and turned to leave.

Outside the Demon Suppression Division, Lin Yan immediately accelerated and quickly left Ding’an City.

Seeing the surrounding wilderness and dense forest, Lin Yan’s expression slowly relaxed. His frivolous and angry expression in the Demon Suppression Division slowly turned solemn.

Just now, he deliberately displayed an arrogant and despotic attitude and made all kinds of requests. On one hand, he wanted to fight for as many benefits as possible. On the other hand, he wanted to test others.

In the end, Liu Lanqing surprisingly showed tolerance for him and even fought for more benefits for him.

Was it because he had displayed talent?

Or was it because she was using Lin Yan to suppress Qin Xiang and Xiao Ye?

Or perhaps… this was just a show they were putting on. Qin Xiang was originally sent by Liu Lanqing?

No, that’s not right.

Lin Yan quickly denied this terrifying guess. If Liu Lanqing had contact with that young man, why did she have to deal with him in the beginning?

However, on second thought, Liu Lanqing was abnormally tolerant of him and even taught Qin Xiang and Xiao Ye a lesson for this. It was indeed a little suspicious.

After some thought, he gradually fell into paranoia. Lin Yan quickly shook his head and shook off these distracting thoughts.

In short, he had earned a lot this time. Not only had he obtained a bag of Spirit Marrows, but he had also obtained a few Great Merits for nothing.. He could prepare for the Force Feature!
