This scene astonished the two masters who had reached the Kinh Men realm.
"Lin Kaiyuan, Lin Kaisheng, what are you two still doing there?"
Lin Yuchen and Lin Qiaoner were blocked by two figures, immediately finding themselves surrounded by danger.
When Lin Yuchen cried out, two people emerged.
"Young Master Qin Ning!"
Lin Kaiyuan and Lin Kaisheng were two elders of the Lin family, both at the Kinh Men realm. Seeing this scene, the two elders were utterly astonished. Their gazes towards Qin Ning also became more cautious.
"I am Lin Kaiyuan of the Lin family, Young Master Qin Ning. I hope Young Master will give this old man face and spare the young master and young lady of my family!"
The two stood in front of the thatched hut, not making a move to help Lin Qiaoner and her brother, but instead spoke amicably to Qin Ning.
They couldn't discern Qin Ning's methods. How could a youth in the Gate Realm achieve this much?
If the two of them charged forward, they would also be blocked by the illusions, and then there would be no one left to stop anything.
"Give you face? Who do you think you are?"
Qin Ning said elegantly, "I don't really want to kill them, but unfortunately, their mouths just can't seem to utter human words!"
"Ask me to spare them? That's fine. Lin Yuchen, Lin Qiaoner, slap yourselves, then apologize to me. If you do that, I will consider sparing you from death!"
"Tell me to slap myself? Are you looking to die?!" At this moment, Lin Qiaoner was furious to the point of madness. She screamed, "Qin Ning, you lecherous, despicable pervert, you won't have a peaceful death!"
"Won't have a peaceful death?"
Qin Ning's eyes flashed with killing intent.
"This is bad!"
Lin Kaiyuan and Lin Kaisheng's expressions changed. Without thinking further, they charged straight forward.
"Tired of living?!"
Qin Ning's hands flashed, and four chess pieces suddenly shot out.
The chess pieces fell to the ground, transforming into four figures that blocked the two Kinh Men realm masters, Lin Kaiyuan and Lin Kaisheng.
At once, the others also dared not act rashly.
The skill Qin Ning displayed was truly too mysterious.
Lin Kaiyuan and Lin Kaisheng were blocked, and Lin Yuchen and Lin Qiaoner also fell into the same predicament, their lives at risk at any moment.
Qin Ning, meanwhile, was sitting by the chessboard, completely at ease.
"Lin Qiaoner, I spared you because I thought you were ignorant and thus not entirely at fault, but now it seems I was wrong!"
Qin Ning said indifferently, "If you already believe that I shouldn't have a peaceful death, then let's see who dies first!"
After Qin Ning finished speaking, he waved his hand once more, and four more chess pieces shot out.
"This is bad!"
Lin Kaiyuan was now completely panicked. If anything happened to the young master and young lady this time, the two elders would surely die.
"Jing Lei Bullet!"
A shout rang out, and a black orb appeared in Lin Kaiyuan's hand, then flew towards Qin Ning.
Boom...
At that moment, the orb exploded, shattering the three thatched rooms into fragments, with fire burning all around.
Immediately, the figures vanished, falling to the ground and reverting to their chess piece forms.
"Is he dead yet?"
Lin Yuchen looked at the thatched hut and asked breathlessly.
It had been truly dangerous just now.
"Not dead, he ran away!" Lin Kaiyuan also let out a sigh of relief, but felt immense heartache.
That Jing Lei Bullet was something he had spent a lot of money to acquire from the imperial capital, its purpose to protect his life. Even a Heavenly Men realm master hit by it would be severely injured.
But now he had wasted it on Qin Ning, and it hadn't even blown that brat to death.
"This brat must have just entered here and seen the mechanisms, which allowed him to control them. Two clan elders, quickly pursue him!"
Lin Yuchen was endlessly furious: "If he's not killed, my hatred won't be appeased!"
“Young Master, but this time we’re here to find the Azure Horned Ox, aren’t we? If we miss the chance to catch it…”
“Father said that this time you must obey my orders. Do the two clan elders intend to defy my command?”
Hearing this, Lin Kaiyuan and Lin Kaisheng dared not say another word.
“Chase them!”
A group of over a dozen people immediately chased after Qin Ning.
“Stop!”
Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind them.
Then, a group of people blocked their path.
At the front were two young men, who now stepped forward.
“I ask you, have you seen any Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals here?” the short-haired young man spoke.
“Who are you? Why should I tell you anything!” Lin Qiaor was the young miss of the Lin family, pampered since childhood. Naturally, she was indignant at being questioned so abruptly.
*Slap!*
Suddenly, the sound of a slap echoed. The short-haired young man unceremoniously slapped Lin Qiaor.
Kinh Men realm!
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.
This short-haired young man looked to be only eighteen or nineteen, yet he was already a master of the Kinh Men realm.
“Ye Liang!”
But after the short-haired young man delivered the slap, a young woman behind him stood up.
Seeing her, Lin Yuxing froze instantly.
So beautiful, like the bright moon in the sky, dazzling and radiant.
Lin Qiaor’s face was flushed red. When she looked at the other girl, she immediately felt that the two of them were like the moon and dust.
“Young Miss!”
The short-haired young man said respectfully.
Seeing that scene, everyone became tense.
Ye Liang alone was already in the Kinh Men realm; even if Lin Kaiyuan and Lin Kaisheng teamed up, they might not be his match.
So wouldn’t this Young Miss’s cultivation be even higher?
“You don’t need to be afraid,” the girl said calmly, “I’m just asking you one question! Have you seen any Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals here?”
“No, we haven’t…” Lin Kaiyuan stammered in reply.
“We have!”
But Lin Qiaor suddenly spoke up.
“Oh? Where?”
Questioned by the beauty in front of her, even Lin Qiaor couldn’t help but breathe more rapidly.
“We were the next group to enter here. The first person to arrive was Qin Ning, the Young Master of the Qin family from Lingyun City. He took all the Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals!”
Lin Qiaor continued, “And that guy even understands the array formations here. Just now, he blocked us here and then ran off!”
Oh?
Hearing this, a glint appeared in the girl’s eyes.
Heavenly Fire Spirit Crystals!
The girl nodded and smiled, more beautiful than a hundred blooming flowers.
“Thank you!”
Having said that, she turned and left directly.
The three young men and an old man behind her followed.
Watching the group leave, the Lin family members finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Their strength is too great.”
Lin Kaiyuan said worriedly, “Just those three young men are already in the Kinh Men realm. As for that girl, I can’t see through her cultivation at all, and that old man…”
“Young Master, let’s quickly leave this strange place!”
“Leave?”
Lin Yuxing scoffed coldly, “The real fun has just begun. Little sister, what you said just now was brilliant. Pinning all the blame on Qin Ning, that brat is definitely going to die at the hands of those masters!”
Lin Yuxing’s eyebrows suddenly twitched.
