Chapter 4: Kidnapping

  "What's wrong, aren't you going to keep your promise?"

  The woman in white took a step forward, her expression slightly cold.

  Zi Lingyun's face turned pale, and he seemed to have aged in an instant, looking even more haggard. His swaying figure seemed as if it would be blown down by the wind at any moment...

  "Master..."

  Qī Língyún's old and lifeless eyes stared at the white-clothed youth, almost without blinking. The depths of his pupils held a hint of irrepressible resentment, as if he wanted to chop her into pieces: "You... you Xuanling Sect actually dare to come to my Yunlei Sword Sect for a sword!?"

  The white-clothed girl obviously knew about the situation of that bet at that time, and was stared at by Qi Lingyun, slightly furrowing her brow.

  However, she was after all a genius disciple of the Xuanling Sect, with a psychological quality that ordinary people couldn't match. She quickly calmed herself down and said unyieldingly: "The bet we made three months ago between our two sects is clear. If you can defeat the Xuanling Sect members present, you can take your disciple Shui Rou away, and we will forgive her past mistakes. But if you lose, you must leave behind the Yunlei Sword Sect's Yunxiao Sword. The final result is obvious from your current heavily injured state - you lost, defeated by my sect's Qingxuan Master. Since you lost, shouldn't you fulfill the bet? Why are we afraid to come and ask for the sword?"

  In Qin Tianji's memory, he had a good understanding of Shimei's gentle and soft nature.

  She is a particularly outstanding female disciple among the many inner disciples of Yunlai Sword Sect, with excellent qualifications. At just fifteen years old, she has already reached the strength of a fourth-level swordsman. Qilingyun takes great care of her and regards her as his own daughter.

  This junior sister is delicate and lovely, with a soft and weak appearance, I couldn't help but feel affection for her.

  Because of a trip, she was secretly drugged by an outer door disciple of the Xuanling Sect and almost insulted. In her rage, she vowed to take revenge and killed that Xuanling Sect disciple. Since she was on the Xuanling Sect's territory, she was outnumbered and captured by the powerful Xuanling Sect, which led to Qi Lingyun going up the mountain to demand her release and making a bet.

  But in Qin Tianyi's analysis, who was born in modern times...

  It's nine out of ten a conspiracy against Yunlai Jianzong.

  "Master." Qin Yuyan was not aware of the details of the bet, but knowing his master's character, he naturally knew that he wouldn't joke about the Zhenzong treasure, Cloud-Soaring Sword. So he asked: "Master, what's going on? The Cloud-Soaring Sword is a matter of great importance, Master...

  "Things are not as simple as you think," Ziling Yun said coldly. "If I didn't have enough confidence, I wouldn't have used the Cloud Sword as a bet. On that day, we agreed that if I could defeat everyone present, I could take Shui Rou away. However, when they saw that no one was my match, they secretly invited Qingxuan, the great swordmaster, to the scene and began to quibble, saying that the original agreement only said I had to defeat the people present at the time, without specifying who those people were. Now that Qingxuan is also here, he naturally counts as one of the people present! This kind of shameless behavior, congratulations to the Xuanling Sect for being able to do it."

  The white-clothed girl's face changed slightly, and a hint of anger flashed in her enchanting eyes. She coldly snorted: "Nonsense! It's clear that you're overestimating yourself, trying to challenge my Master Qingxuan with your mere 8th-level swordsmanship to gain fame, but ended up getting severely injured instead. This is entirely your own fault."

  Qilingyun heard that she actually said the opposite, and couldn't help but angrily say: "How dare you say that what I just said wasn't true!? How dare you swear to heaven!?"

  The white-clothed girl had thought of these aspects early on, and she said in a somewhat cold tone: "As for your battle with Qingxuan Shifu back then, who in the entire Wanxia County doesn't know about it? Whether you were right or wrong, just go down the mountain and ask someone carefully, and you'll find out."

  Zi Lingyun listened, becoming both anxious and enraged: "You... I spared the reputation of Xuanling Sect by not spreading this matter out, to avoid tarnishing your sect's name. You actually... actually..."

  When he reached the point of extreme anger, his speech was already unclear. Moreover, the white-clothed girl had stirred up the internal injuries that had been dormant within him earlier, causing old wounds to recur. At this moment, he was panting continuously, stumbling with each step, and was actually unable to stand upright.

  "Master!" Qin Yuyan was shocked, hastily supporting Yunwu, her heart in a flurry: "Master, hold on, I'll go get you some medicine right away."

  At this moment, the yellow-clothed girl Qing Xi suddenly looked disgusted and waved her hand impatiently: "Stop pretending to be ill, thinking that a few coughs and feigning unconsciousness can cover up this matter? Hand over the Yun Xiao sword immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for joining forces with Yu Han Shifu to start a massacre in your Yun Lei Sword Sect."

  Qin Tianyi slightly furrowed his brow.

  His ninth-level spiritual energy was suppressed by more than half, but his sensitivity was ten times that of an ordinary person, and he could naturally distinguish who was telling the truth and who was lying.

  At this point, even he couldn't help but look down on the Xuanling Sect's people who had distorted right and wrong to such an extent.

  Of course...

  That's all.

  There is a level 7 fearsome creature in the opposing camp.

  In unclear circumstances, it is wise to protect oneself and wait for a clearer situation before taking action.

  "You..."

  Zi Lingyun was originally on the verge of collapse, and upon hearing these words, he became even more enraged and his injuries flared up, causing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning deathly pale.

  "You scoundrel!"

  "Hmph! It seems that if we don't teach you a lesson, you'll think the Xuanling Sect is joking around?"

  A woman in white, Su Yuhuan, let out a cold snort and suddenly took a step forward, the icy sword in her hand instantly unsheathing.

  Target...

  It was actually Qin Tianyi!

  "Not good!"

  Qin Tianji's face changed greatly.

  This sword was too fast, his ninth-stage spiritual power had detected the white-clothed woman's movement, but his body couldn't keep up with his spiritual reaction. Just as he was about to make a move, the white-clothed woman's hand grasped the hilt of her fine steel longsword and pressed it against Qin Tianyi's throat!

  Cold!

  A chill ran down his spine!

  Qin Tianyi could feel the sharpness and chill of the sword at his throat, and with just a slight exertion of force, it would pierce through his throat in an instant.

  In an instant, the breath of death tightly shrouded Qin Tianyi's heart, and his spiritual world solidified.

  "You, the Young Master of Yunlai Jianzong, are the only bloodline left in the Yunlai Qin family, aren't you? Today, his life is in my hands. If you don't hand over the Yunxiao Sword, don't blame me for being ruthless and wiping out the last bloodline of the Yunlai Jianzong Qin family!"

  "Stop!"

  "What are you doing?!"

  "Let go of Shao Zongzhu!"

  At this time, several people from Yunlai Jianzong finally reacted and shouted loudly.

  "Hmm!?"

  The beautiful face of the woman in white turned slightly cold, her sword shook, and a trail of blood burst out from Qin Tianji's throat.

  "Tiān jī!"

  "Stop!"

  Qin Yuyan and Qi Lingyun simultaneously let out a furious roar from their mouths.

  "A small lesson, next time, my sword won't just be slightly shaken."

  She glanced at the bloodstain on Qin Tianyi's throat and her expression turned cold.

  Qin Tianyi...

  Suppressing the intense anger and fear in his heart!

  The spirit has been stirred up to the extreme at this moment!

  But it's useless.

  An eighth-level swordsman's physical strength is too great, his speed too fast; even if he can think of a perfect escape plan in his mind, his movements cannot be faster than an eighth-level swordsman.

  His life and death were completely in the hands of this white-clothed girl!

  "Qing Xi, go get the sword."

  The white-clothed girl said to the woman beside her, then glanced at Qin Yuyan and Qi Lingyun: "You'd better not make any rash moves, otherwise, I don't mind letting the bloodline of Yunlei Qin's family be completely cut off!"

  "Yes, elder sister."

  Qing Xi responded excitedly and headed straight for the main hall behind Qin Yu Yan, Qi Ling Yun and others.

  "Halt!"

  Zi Lingyun mustered his remaining strength, let out a loud roar, and was about to block Qing Xi.

  "Old Master Qi!"

  At this moment, Qin Tianyi, who was threatened by the white-clothed girl's sword, suddenly shouted loudly.

  At the moment when Ziling Yun was about to take a step forward, Qin Tianyi's 9th-level spiritual power clearly sensed the fierce killing intent emanating from the white-clothed girl in front of him.

  "Tiān jī!?" -> "Heavens!"?

  "I am the Young Master of Yunlai Sword Sect! Go and hand over Yunxiao Sword to them!"

  Qin Tianyi said.

  He had just come to and was extremely weak, but at this moment his spiritual world was fluctuating violently, making him look pale, completely like a frightened appearance.

  "Tianji! Do you know what you're saying? That's the Yun Xiao Sword! The Yun Xiao Sword of our Yunlai Sword Sect, the sect's heirloom and symbol of authority, is also the concentrated essence of several generations of our ancestors, from the founding master to Qin Huailing..."

  I know!

  Qin Tianyi took a deep breath, and the rage and fear in his spiritual world were like a stormy sea, making him want to shout an order to tear this woman who dared to threaten his life into pieces!

  But it's no use!

  Xuanling Sect, apart from the white-clothed young girl who is an eighth-level swordsman, also has that middle-aged man who is a ninth-level swordsman. This lineup is enough to completely annihilate Yunlei Sword Sect, which only has less than a hundred disciples.

  Endure!

  Can only endure!

  Long live!

  As long as I live, today's humiliation will be avenged!

  Forcingly suppressing the fear in his heart, Qin Tianyi tried his best to keep his mind calm.

  "Master, the Cloud Umbrella Sword is important, but how can it compare to a person's life... I promised Father that I would take good care of Tianji, Tianji absolutely cannot come to harm!"

  Qin Yuyan looked at Qin Tianyi's pale face and said with a firm tone.

  At this time, she was also filled with boundless regret in her heart, hating herself for not standing by Qin Tianyi's side earlier. At this moment, she would rather be under the sword of that white-clothed girl than let Qin Tianyi be in such a life-or-death danger.

  "Jade face!"

  Zi Lingyun's face was full of pain.

  "Hmm!"

  Qing Xi let out a cold hum and quickly bypassed Qin Yu Yan and Qi Ling Yun, heading towards the main hall.

  But in an instant, she had already walked out of the courtyard.
