However, upon hearing Liao Baicheng’s words, the nearby Liao Zhiyun frowned and said slowly,

”Baicheng, don’t touch that girl, Chen Man Ni, for now. Her father is the richest man in Ming City, after all. It’s best to avoid unnecessary complications.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liang’s face filled with resentment.

His hatred for Chen Man Ni was by no means any less than his for Qin Tuo!

In fact, Jiang Liang had already made up his mind to at least disfigure Chen Man Ni.

He had to destroy what he couldn’t have, so that no one else could even think of touching it.

But Liao Baicheng was completely unconcerned, and said with a cold laugh,

”Sister, who gives a damn about the richest man in Ming City? It’s the Chen Family’s honor that little Liang took a liking to her. Daring to refuse is simply courting death!”

Liao Zhiyun couldn’t help but add,

”But this matter isn’t that simple. That kid’s strength is clearly formidable. After all, even Uncle Zhong was no match for him.”

However, Liao Baicheng still paid it no mind, waving his hand and saying casually,

”Sister, stay out of this. Leave it to me. I need to tear these two wretches to pieces to vent my hatred!”

Jiang Liang’s face instantly lit up with glee, and he began to fantasize about the gruesome deaths of Qin Tuo and Chen Man Ni.

Hearing the fierce conviction in his tone, Liao Zhiyun didn’t try to persuade him further.

Besides, she knew her younger brother Liao Baicheng’s strength, so she wasn’t too worried.

But Liao Zhiyun could never have imagined that this very decision would slowly lead the entire Jiang Family down the path to ruin...

「Jin City. A hotel room.」

At this time, Qin Tuo was racing against time to refine Small Rejuvenation Pills.

The medicinal herbs sent by Zhou Qihua were more than sufficient, enough to refine about one hundred Small Rejuvenation Pills.

With so many herbs to support him, plus having just reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, Qin Tuo’s refining speed was countless times faster than before.

He expertly began refining the Small Rejuvenation Pills. Batch after batch of herbs had their Spiritual Power drained in the blink of an eye, turning into a pile of useless weeds.

He locked himself in his room, seeing no one, and poured his entire being into the task.

After a full day and night, his efforts had borne great fruit.

He looked at the densely packed Small Rejuvenation Pills before him, smiled, and nodded.

A quick count revealed exactly one hundred pills, not a single one less!

’Excellent. If I can sell these Small Rejuvenation Pills, it will definitely be enough for me to bid on another batch of thousand-year-old divine medicines.’

Qin Tuo’s eyes couldn’t help but light up as his anticipation grew.

After putting away the Small Rejuvenation Pills, a thought suddenly came to him, and he shook his head.

’Sigh, what a pity. These thousand-year-old divine medicines are treasures you can only stumble upon, not seek out. Even with money, you aren’t guaranteed to find one!’

For a moment, Qin Tuo couldn’t help but think back to the Ice Soul Snow Lotus at the bottom of the Ice Spring, behind Taixu Temple on Ice Spring Mountain.

He knew deep down that it was a natural treasure, a true heaven-and-earth Spirit Medicine. It absolutely could not have formed in less than ten thousand years!

But unfortunately, Qin Tuo knew his current realm was too low; he was completely powerless against such a treasure.

If he rashly dove to the bottom of the Ice Spring to forcibly seize the Ice Soul Snow Lotus, he would have been frozen into a corpse in an instant.

Thus, Qin Tuo could only decide to wait until his realm improved before figuring out a way to claim the Ice Soul Snow Lotus.

Just as he was pondering this, Qin Tuo’s phone suddenly rang.

He answered it and heard Ouyang Tianqi on the other end.

”Mr. Ouyang, is something wrong?”

Qin Tuo asked curiously.

On the other end of the line, however, Ouyang Tianqi’s tone was extremely rushed.

”Mr. Qin, it’s bad! Something terrible has happened! You need to come back to Ming City right away!”

Ouyang Tianqi knew, of course, that Qin Tuo had gone to Jin City, so his tone was very anxious, even bordering on frantic.

Qin Tuo’s heart sank, and he immediately asked,

”Oh? Mr. Ouyang, what exactly happened?”

Ouyang Tianqi seemed hesitant, but he managed to say,

”Mr. Qin... something has happened at Taixu Temple!”

Hearing this, Qin Tuo’s face fell.

He quickly hung up the phone and called Long Wu over.

”Celestial King, what’s wrong? You don’t look right!”

Long Wu keenly noticed a faint look of anxiety on Qin Tuo’s face.

Qin Tuo said immediately,

”Long Wu, you stay here and protect Manni. I have something I must return to Ming City for immediately!”

Seeing Qin Tuo in such a hurry, Long Wu didn’t waste words and nodded heavily.

”Don’t worry, Celestial King. I will ensure Miss Chen’s safety.”

And so, his mind at ease about Manni’s protection, Qin Tuo set off for Ming City.

He traveled alone, driving back to Ming City quickly.

Then, without stopping, he rushed to Ice Spring Mountain!

Qin Tuo unleashed all the Spiritual Power in his body. Empowered by it, he sprinted and soon arrived at Taixu Temple, located on the mountainside.

However, as soon as he reached Taixu Temple, he was shocked to find that the entire Daoist temple was surrounded by long police tape.

The place was in chaos; something major had indeed happened!

Moreover, Qin Tuo noticed about a dozen detectives had cordoned off the area, preventing any unauthorized people from getting close.

’Oh, what’s that?’

Qin Tuo’s gaze instantly fixed on a certain direction. Pools of fresh blood were flowing from there, still steaming slightly in the air.

It was obvious people had died, and quite a few of them!

At this, Qin Tuo’s expression changed wildly.

Only now did he understand why Ouyang Tianqi had sounded so frantic on the phone.

At that moment, Qin Tuo’s first thought was: ’Did something happen to that girl, Xiaoyuan?’

Although Xiaoyuan possessed the once-in-a-century Taiyin Body, her constitution was frail, making her even more vulnerable to harm than an ordinary person.

And Qin Tuo had been planning, once his own realm had risen to a sufficient level, to find an opportunity to guide Xiaoyuan onto the path of cultivation.

’But now... is that dream going to be completely shattered today?’

Qin Tuo’s heart grew heavy as he slowly approached the police tape.

He just wanted to get inside quickly and see for himself what had happened, why Taixu Temple had ended up like this.

Just then, a few detectives frowned and held out their hands to block Qin Tuo.

”Sir, please step back immediately. You’re not allowed near here!”

It was clear that with such a major incident, every one of these detectives was extremely tense, afraid of any further accidents.

However, Qin Tuo continued walking toward the taped-off area, seemingly ignoring the detectives completely.

The detectives frowned deeply, just about to shout a reprimand.

At that moment, two people walked out from inside...
