Qin Mingfeng nodded and said: "I do know. However, it was just a small mistake and not worth mentioning. Our Xiaoyao Sect has a long history. I don't know how many big mistakes I have made, and this one is no different."
Xiao Lingyu said: "What Headmaster Qin said makes sense, and I agree with it."
Ye Xi said: "Uncle Qin, Mingyu is your direct disciple, are you just watching him be arrested?"
Qin Mingfeng said: "Mingyu is my direct disciple. Of course I will not watch him suffer. However, the ancestral precepts of the Xiaoyao Sect are there. We cannot violate them. Only if I break through to the realm of the God Emperor can the Xiaoyao Sect return to its peak. . And I need a lot of resources and merit to break through to the realm of the God Emperor. I can ask for these things from your Xiaoyao Sect. As long as you give me a corresponding reward, I don’t mind working hard for the Xiaoyao Sect. But the current situation is that I don’t know at all. How can we break through, let alone help Mingyu get out of trouble? All I can do now is help you find the whereabouts of the murderer."
Ye Xi gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Qin, can you really bear to see Mingyu being arrested?"
After Qin Mingfeng was silent for a moment, he said: "Now my cultivation has been stagnant for many years. If I want to break through to the late stage of the God Emperor, there is no chance at all without paying a very high price, so I don't want to delay my opportunity to advance by saving Mingyu. , you go."
Ye Xi said: "What if this junior doesn't leave?"
Qin Mingfeng narrowed his eyes and said, "If you are stubborn, I won't mind killing you."
Xiao Lingyu quickly intercepted Ye Xi and said, "Forget it, since Headmaster Qin is not willing to help us, let's just leave."
After saying this, he took Ye Xi's arm and walked towards the stairs first.
Qin Mingfeng did not stop him, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After leaving the room, Xiao Lingyu quickly left Xiaoyao City with Ye Xi and Zhao Long.
In a village near Xiaoyao City, after the four of them settled down, Ye Xi worriedly said to Xiao Lingyu, "Brother Xiao, are we going to give up on Mingyu like this?"
Xiao Lingyu frowned and said, "If Qin Mingfeng is willing to help, we will save Mingyu even if we risk our lives. Unfortunately, he has no such idea. Let's try to find out what happened in Xiaoyao Sect and then make plans."
Zhao Long said worriedly: "Although Mingyu is arrogant and domineering, he is the master's direct disciple after all. If the master leaves him alone, he will probably die at the hands of his enemies."
Jiang Lan shook his head and said: "I don't think the headmaster will ignore it. We just need to wait patiently now."
Ye Xi said: "We'd better think of a way to make Headmaster Qin change his mind."
Xiao Lingyu said: "Don't act too hastily, let's take a long-term approach."
Ye Xi nodded and said, "Okay, let's do what Brother Xiao wants. We are not qualified to challenge the headmaster yet."
In Ye Xi's view, Qin Mingfeng is a super strong person in the middle stage of God King, and they cannot shake it. At least she has no confidence that she can escape from the hands of a strong person in the middle stage of God King.
After Xiao Lingyu and the other five people settled in, there was an uproar within the Xiaoyao Sect.
Mingyu is a famous thorn in Xiaoyao Sect, and he is also the kind of thorn who is fearless. No matter who it is, as long as he angers him, he will definitely find ways to retaliate.
However, Mingyu's cultivation talent is extremely good. He reached the early stage of Nirvana when he was twenty years old. In just a few thousand years, he has broken through to the late stage of Nirvana.
But just half a year ago, Mingyu actually sneaked into the valley where Xiaoyao Sect hid the spirit bead crystal cores and stole seven of them. Then he walked away, not only destroying the spirit bead crystal cores in the treasure house, but also taking away them. A high-grade spiritual treasure collected by Xiaoyao Sect.
The elders who were present that day, including Qin Mingfeng, had no idea. It wasn't until one morning half a year later that someone discovered Mingyu's body, and the Xiaoyao Sect exploded and sent out all the troops to search Mingyu.
Qin Mingfeng was an extremely cautious person. After he found out that his son was dead, he immediately contacted the head of the Xiaoyao Sect.
The leader of the Xiaoyao Sect immediately led a group of powerful men to investigate, but they could not find any clues about Mingyu even after searching the entire Xiaoyao Sect.
The leader of Xiaoyao Sect was furious on the spot and threw Mingyu's
The bodies were thrown into the fire pit and burned.
However, what Mingyu said before he died aroused the suspicion of all the elders. He said that he was wrongly accused and left a letter.
The general content of the letter was that the seven spiritual pearl cores he had stolen did not exist at all, and he did not know their whereabouts. He just wanted to use this high-grade spiritual treasure to improve his cultivation.
Another part of the letter stated that Ming Yu was seeking asylum from the Xiaoyao Sect. He hoped that the Xiaoyao Sect could send people to help find the seven spirit bead crystal cores, and that what he owed the Xiaoyao Sect would be doubled in the future.
Mingyu's parents also tried to persuade Mingyu to stop messing around, but Mingyu couldn't listen at all, and even yelled at them with very strong words, which eventually forced them to run away from home with hatred.
After long discussion, the top leaders of Xiaoyao Sect decided that Qin Mingfeng would come forward to find Mingyu and let Mingyu join the treasure hunting team. However, Mingyu did not agree at all, so a bloody fight began. The result was that Mingyu was defeated miserably and was Imprisoned.
In the Xiaoyao Sect, Mingyu was also a well-respected genius, but this genius was too arrogant and domineering, and he was arrogant. He offended many people and provoked many enemies.
"well!"
Ye Xi sighed with deep regret and said, "If he is really wronged, he is so wronged, and his parents must be wronged too."
Xiao Lingyu said: "Maybe, anyway, I don't think Qin Mingfeng is a good person."
Zhao Long asked: "What should we do next?"
Xiao Lingyu pondered for a moment and said, "I have a suggestion..."
In the next few days, Xiao Lingyu took the two of them around Xiaoyao City and constantly inquired about news about Xiaoyao Sect.
None of the three of them dared approach Xiaoyao City. After all, Xiaoyao Sect was a first-class sect and its deterrent power was undoubted.
Xiaoyao Sect is relatively far from the town where Xiao Lingyu and others live, so the three of them stayed in this town for three months and still gained nothing.
Xiao Lingyu and others moved to another place to continue their exploration.
After another ten days, the three of them reached a small town called Tianxing again.
Tianxing Town is the intersection of hundreds of mortal realms around Xiaoyao City, where hundreds of millions of monks and monsters gather, as well as countless spiritual materials and treasures.
According to Ye Xi, Xiaoyao Sect will organize an elite group to go to various worlds every hundred years to find precious heavenly materials, earthly treasures or exotic treasures, and Xiaoyao Sect will also according to the properties of those heavenly materials, earthly treasures or exotic treasures , year, corresponding rewards will be given. For example, one high-grade spiritual bead is enough to exchange for ten top-grade fairy stones; while rare treasures such as a low-grade holy weapon or a top-grade spiritual treasure require more top-grade fairy stones or top-grade immortal stones. Ling Bao comes to exchange.
Tianxing Town is the only place within the jurisdiction of Xiaoyao City that has high-grade spiritual beads. Xiaoyao Sect will come here every hundred years to purchase large quantities of high-grade spiritual beads.
Although the high-grade spirit beads are not as important as the middle-grade spirit beads, they are very valuable. Every year, the Xiaoyao Sect purchases a large amount of materials from the outside world to replenish the resources consumed by the Xiaoyao Sect.
The purpose of Xiao Lingyu and the other three people coming to Tianxing Town was to take advantage of the Xiaoyao Sect's purchase of supplies and recapture the seven spirit bead crystal cores taken away by Mingyu.
The Xiaoyao Sect is a first-class sect with strong strength. If they act rashly, they will definitely encounter disaster. Therefore, the three of them are preparing to carry out the kidnapping in secret. After the Xiaoyao Sect has completed the purchase, they will wait for an opportunity to sneak into the Xiaoyao Sect.
During the Xiaoyao Sect's procurement period, Xiao Lingyu and others had been hiding outside Tianxing Town, waiting for the Xiaoyao Sect's people to appear.
The appointed day came soon, and a group of strong men from Xiaoyao Sect came in force, more than three thousand people in total.
The clothes of these more than 3,000 people were all uniformed, with a golden sword-shaped pattern embroidered on their chests.
The waists of these more than three thousand people were all equipped with soft swords that shone with cold light, and the scabbards were also inlaid with brilliant golden orbs.
The strength of these more than 3,000 people is very tyrannical. Among them, there are actually two masters of the ninth-turn sky control realm, four masters of the eighth-turn nirvana peak, a ninth-turn master of the sky master, and a master of the eighth-turn nirvana peak.
Such a lineup is considered powerful when looking at the entire battlefield of gods and demons.
Except for the few sects in the northwest of the ancient continent that could compete, it was difficult for other forces to conquer the Xiaoyao Sect.
Such a huge team entered Tianxing Town and immediately caused a sensation.
"It's Xiaoyao Sect. I didn't expect that even they were alerted."
"It is said that Deputy Sect Master Qin is personally leading the team. This time I am afraid there will be many powerful elixir masters participating. Those elixir masters are very powerful."
"Hehe, I'm afraid Mingyu won't be able to escape this time. No matter how awesome he is, he can't beat Deputy Sect Master Qin."
…
The more than 3,000 people from the Xiaoyao Sect flew straight to the Tianxing Restaurant.
The reason why Xiaoyao Sect chose to purchase supplies near Xiaoyao City is because the walls of Xiaoyao City are strong enough and well-defended. Even if a strong person breaks in, they can't easily break through the walls of Xiaoyao City, let alone attack Xiaoyao City. If the city wall breaks down, even if all the monks in Xiaoyao City die, they will not frown.
When the guests in the Tianxing Restaurant saw people from the Xiaoyao Sect coming, they all gave way.
"Look, the one wearing the blue brocade robe is Qin Mingfeng, and his parents are here too." Someone pointed at Qin Mingfeng and whispered to his companions.
"Well, his parents do look abnormal. Their faces are pale and their eyes are red."
"Well, they must feel bad if their son makes a mistake."
"Qin Mingfeng is the son of the deputy sect leader of Xiaoyao Sect. They will definitely not be able to escape this time."
…
Qin Mingfeng and his parents walked up to the second floor amidst everyone's discussion.
"Hello, Deputy Sect Leader Qin."
"Vice Sect Leader Qin, welcome to Tianxing Town."
The hotel manager and an old man rushed over and greeted him with a smile.
Qin Mingfeng nodded coldly and took his parents into a guest room.
"Dad, mother..."
Entering the guest room, Mingyu couldn't help but kneel down.
"My child, we are sorry for you, and now we have hurt you." Mingyu's mother cried bitterly.
"My child, I don't blame you. This matter has nothing to do with you. I did something wrong." Mingyu shook his head and said.
"Hmph! I knew you would shirk responsibility. Do you think it will be over if you don't admit it?"
At this moment, a clear and melodious female voice came, and then a beautiful woman wearing a goose-yellow dress and a graceful figure walked in.
The woman is tall, with snow-white skin and beautiful facial features. Her every frown and smile exudes a charming aura.
Mingyu looked up at this beautiful woman and asked calmly: "Who are you?"
The woman snorted coldly and said, "You don't need to care who I am, you just need to remember that I am here today to seek justice for the Xiaoyao Sect!"
Immediately, she took out a jade slip and handed it to Qin Mingfeng.
Qin Mingfeng put the jade slip against his forehead. After a while, he opened his eyes with a shocked expression and said, "Where is Junior Brother Mingyu?"
"Are you still trying to act stupid?" the woman asked.
"It's not ***, I really didn't know Mingyu had died." Qin Mingfeng said with a blank look on his face.
"There's no need to act. When Junior Brother Mingyu killed a beast as powerful as the Tribulation Stage outside Xiaoyao City, you weren't there." The woman shook her head.
"What?"
Qin Mingfeng couldn't help but widen his eyes when the woman mentioned this matter.
"Since you know that Junior Brother Mingyu is dead, you should pay the price and hand over the storage bag obediently." The woman said confidently.
Qin Mingfeng hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Sorry, I don't have a storage bag with me."
The woman's face changed slightly, her tone became much colder, and she said: "Without a storage bag, you must have carried a lot of spirit stones, right? Hand over the spirit stones, otherwise your family of three will only become food for the Xiaoyao Sect. "
"I... don't have spirit stones." Qin Mingfeng shook his head.
"No spiritual stone?"
The woman said angrily:
"I do not believe!"
Then the woman waved her hand and shot out a ray of black light, hitting Qin Mingfeng.
Qin Mingfeng immediately released his shield to resist.
Click!
A clear sound came out, and his shield was pierced by the woman's black light.
When the woman saw this, her expression suddenly changed and she quickly withdrew her black light.
"How... is this possible?!" The woman was horrified.
Qin Mingfeng also had a look of surprise on his face.
"I don't care if you have spiritual stones on you or not. Now you and your family of three must hand over your storage bags immediately, otherwise you will wait to be eaten!" the woman yelled.
The three members of Mingyu's family looked at each other and remained silent.
Seeing that the other party seemed determined to eat his parents, Mingyu gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a few high-grade spiritual stones. I'll give them to you."
Qin Mingfeng pulled Mingyu's sleeve to stop Mingyu.
Qin Mingfeng looked at the woman and said, "What do you want?"
The woman said: "It's very simple. We will search every part of your body. If there is no spirit stone, we will kill you."
Mingyu took out a Na ring from the Qiankun ring and threw it towards the woman.
"Senior Brother Mingyu!"
"Can't!"
The shopkeeper and the old man both shouted eagerly.
"I'm willing to cooperate!"
Mingyu, however, resolutely threw Najie to the woman.
"Haha...you know what's going on."
The woman laughed and reached out to grab Na Na Ring.
Just when Najie was still half a meter away from her, she suddenly felt a chill on her neck, and then found that an arrow emitting purple flames had pierced her throat.
Tsk!
