Wu Ren was horrified and instantly rushed forward, wanting to avoid the sword.
"Don't run anymore! Your Dantian is shattered, and you can no longer circulate Spiritual Qi. If you keep running, you'll fall to your death!"
Playful words came from behind him, and Wu Ren's face turned pale with shock, but a sense of powerlessness spread throughout his body. He could clearly feel the Spiritual Qi within him losing control at an extremely fast rate.
"No!"
Wu Ren screamed in terror, desperately trying to mobilize his Spiritual Qi, but the more he struggled, the faster the Spiritual Qi dissipated.
"Whoosh!"
Without the support of Spiritual Qi, Wu Ren's Spiritual Qi wings on his back directly vanished, and he plummeted downwards.
"No, help me!"
Wu Ren cried out in despair. Qin Xuan sneered, rushed over, grabbed him by the neck, dragged him, and flew to a nearby mountaintop before throwing him down.
"My Spiritual Qi, my Cultivation!"
Wu Ren lay on the ground in despair and took out a pile of Talismans from his qiankun ring, wanting to deal with Qin Xuan.
However, activating Talismans also required Spiritual Qi, and he was now a cripple, unable to even activate a Talisman.
A Cultivator of the Yuqing Realm should normally be stronger than Qin Xuan in terms of combat power.
However, this person was a Talisman Master, and most of his combat power relied on Talismans. Therefore, once Qin Xuan suppressed him in terms of Talismans, his combat power would be greatly diminished.
Furthermore, Qin Xuan used extreme speed, and under the cover of the blood Talisman, he directly circled behind this Yuqing Realm Cultivator, launching a sneak attack that succeeded in one blow.
Of course, although Qin Xuan's action this time had the suspicion of a sneak attack.
However, even in a direct confrontation, Qin Xuan was not afraid.
"Your Spiritual Qi? Your Cultivation? Give them to me!"
Qin Xuan sneered and took all the Talismans from his hand.
"These are all the explosion Talismans you have left?"
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Among Formations, Talismans, and Medicinal Pills, he was most skilled in Medicinal Pills, followed by Formations.
Only in the Dao of Talismans was he truly not very skilled.
"I warn you, my grandfather is the Sect Master of the Tianfu Sect. If you dare to touch me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Xuan impatiently swung his sword and cut off one of his hands.
"Noisy! If you dare to bark again, it'll be the other hand!"
"Answer whatever I ask. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, then you can go to hell!"
Wu Ren, whose hand had been cut off, rolled on the ground in pain.
After being severely injured by Qin Xuan and now having one hand cut off, he finally realized that here, he was no longer the all-powerful Young Lord of the Tianfu Sect.
"Shut up! From now on, you are not allowed to speak unless I ask."
Threatened by Qin Xuan, Wu Ren quickly kowtowed like pounding garlic and repeatedly agreed.
"First, tell me, how many people from your Tianfu Sect are here? And why are you in conflict with the Earth Talisman Sect? Logically speaking, you should all be subordinate Sects of the Shenfu Sect."
The Crimson Water Dao revered the Shenfu Sect, and most of the larger Sects were related to the Shenfu Sect.
Therefore, why would the Tianfu Sect and the Earth Talisman Sect, both subordinates of the Shenfu Sect, have such a conflict?
Normally, it shouldn't have escalated to this point.
Although the previous Lu Bao held a high position in the Tianfu Sect, he was not privy to many things. More crucial information still had to be obtained from Wu Ren.
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, Wu Ren hesitated for a moment, but looking at the sharp sword Qin Xuan was holding, he still lowered his head and honestly confessed.
"Our Tianfu Sect has brought about half of our main force here this time. The situation on the Earth Talisman Sect's side is similar."
"The Grand Elder, his venerable self, naturally stays in the Sect and rarely moves. My grandfather, as the Sect Master, is also the same. Besides them, almost all the other Elders have come here."
"There are a total of two Shangqing Realm Cultivators, five Yuqing Realm Cultivators, and more than twenty Tianxuan Realm Cultivators. As for Profound Earth Realm Cultivators, there are even more."
Two Shangqing Realm Cultivators. This Sect is quite a bit weaker than the Azure Green Sect.
Qin Xuan quickly realized.
Although the Profound Dragon Dao involved five major Sects competing with each other, these five major Sects were all on equal footing, so the strength of each major Sect was roughly similar.
However, in the Crimson Water Dao, above the Tianfu Sect was the Shenfu Sect, and naturally, many matters were not within their control.
Since they couldn't make their own decisions, most of the resources would naturally not fall into their hands.
"It seems the Shenfu Sect's influence is not small. Even if it can't compare to forces like the Shindao Sect, it's at least stronger than the Azure Green Sect."
"Then why are you in conflict with the Earth Talisman Sect?"
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, Wu Ren hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
"Our two Sects are in conflict because some resources were not clearly allocated, and in the ensuing dispute, we..."
"Ah!"
Before Wu Ren could finish speaking, Qin Xuan raised his sword and sliced off his other hand.
"If you dare to fabricate another word, I'll chop off your head."
"Ah!"
Both of Wu Ren's hands were now cut off, and he could only clutch his wrists, screaming in agony.
But there was no mercy on Qin Xuan's face, only icy killing intent.
"Do you think your little tricks can deceive me?"
"Fighting over a bit of resources, are you trying to fool ghosts?"
Qin Xuan naturally believed that conflicts over resources would occur.
However, he absolutely did not believe that so many people would prepare for such a long confrontation just to fight over resources.
Wu Ren thought he could deceive others, but he couldn't deceive Qin Xuan.
"You'd better be honest. If I hear another lie, I'll take your life!"
The Wu Feng Sword pressed against Wu Ren's neck, as if it could fall at any moment.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything, as long as you don't kill me."
Wu Ren was already scared out of his wits.
This spineless third-generation noble was even less courageous than the other Disciples of their Sect.
"Our Tianfu Sect and the Earth Talisman Sect are actually here to put on a show."
"A show?"
Qin Xuan frowned.
This explanation made him even more confused.
What exactly did this "show" mean?
"It's like this: our Tianfu Sect and the Earth Talisman Sect discovered a ruin in a nearby canyon. It should be a Legacy left by a Talisman Dao Great Master from the ancient era. There might be the Legacy of this Great Master inside."
A Legacy.
Upon hearing this, a gleam instantly flashed in Qin Xuan's eyes.
This was the most precious type of Legacy ruin among all kinds of ruins.
A Legacy ruin was not a simple ruin.
According to Qin Xuan's knowledge, Legacy ruins often contained the Great Master's lifetime insights and various treasures he had used.
Spirit Stones, Cultivation Techniques, weapons...
Moreover, this was a ruin that had been passed down from the ancient era, so the value of the items inside was naturally beyond doubt.
No wonder these people attached such importance to this place, deeply fearing that the situation here would be leaked.
But...
"That's not right. With such a good thing, how did the Earth Talisman Sect know about it? Shouldn't your Tianfu Sect guard this secret well?"
