Chapter 24: Silencing

Qi Yalan swiftly attacked, and the reactions of the few guys were not slow either. They immediately used various treasures to protect themselves and counterattack.

A golden light flashed, turning into a flaming Flood Dragon. One side transformed into a copper seal the size of hundreds of acres, resembling a mountain peak. Two long silk threads shaped like venomous snakes, along with more than ten different-shaped flying swords, all attacked Qi Yalan together.

"...Qi Fairy's methods are indeed ruthless, her heart is to be condemned. However, we brothers are not easy to bully either. Today, we will teach her a lesson..."

The old man in the gray robe howled, and an inconspicuous gray umbrella appeared above his head, turning into a cloud cover dozens of zhang in size, covering everyone in his group. Countless gray rays of light on the cloud cover swiftly flowed and surged like water, neutralizing and dissolving a lot of the sharp sword energy falling from the sky.

"The people from Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace are really arrogant. They start fighting without saying a word. Isn't she just a nobody? She thinks she's some kind of super sect!"

The sinister and cunning young man sneered, revealing two black Law Weapons that looked like sharp cones. With a trail of afterimages, he pounced towards Qin Muling.

He chose the easier target first. He knew he was no match for Qi Yalan, so he wisely aimed at this young man who seemed to have a high status. After all, he was just a kid who had just entered the Profound Comprehension Realm. As long as he subdued him, he would definitely be able to force Qi Yalan to compromise.

"You can't wait to die!"

Qi Yalan's anger surged, and the sharp sword energy that fell became ten times more intense. She easily blocked more than ten treasures attacking her and even dimmed the brilliance of the gray-robed old man's defensive Law Treasure, causing it to shake and almost collapse.

The guy who intended to ambush Qin Muling received special attention. Countless sword lights turned into a deadly grinding disc, trapping him within it. In just an instant, his miserable screams abruptly stopped, and he, along with his protective treasures, were all crushed into pieces.

Qin Muling waved his hand and summoned a purple gourd, which spewed out a dense golden mist, turning into a dense and tough mist screen that protected himself and Qi Yalan from any wind.

"Qi Fairy, let's talk things out. We..."

The gray-robed old man saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly pleaded, while also taking out several formation flags and throwing them out, attempting to stabilize the precarious protective barrier.

A hint of regret arose in his heart. Their group didn't need to join in the fun in the first place. It was a few young disciples who recognized Qi Yalan from Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and instigated them to come and see if they could gain some benefits. Little did they know that they would end up losing their entire group here.

Now that they had exposed Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's secrets, any normal person would not let them escape to avoid future troubles.

"You're already about to die, yet you still talk so much nonsense!"

Qi Yalan didn't stop her attack. Countless sword energy fell like a storm. A big man couldn't withstand it and let out a miserable cry as he was torn apart by the sword energy. Then, the young scholar was also torn apart, and the remaining cultivators fell one by one.

After a dozen breaths, the gray-robed old man, who had the highest cultivation, finally exhausted his mana. Qi Yalan beheaded him with a single sword strike. Then, a deep purple thunder bead the size of a bowl, containing a destructive aura, flew out from her hand. It circled around the area, flashing with electric light, completely sweeping away and killing any remaining souls and divine thoughts.

"Finally settled."

Qi Yalan retracted her flying sword, feeling a wave of lingering fear. If her junior disciple's secret had really been leaked, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would undoubtedly face unimaginable crises. At that time, she really didn't know how it would end.

"Junior disciple, you..."

Qi Yalan looked at Qin Muling with a hint of uneasiness. She hesitated, wondering if killing so many people just now would affect her image in his heart.

Qin Muling shook his head. "Senior sister, you worry too much. I'm not a three-year-old child. Can't I distinguish right from wrong?"

Qi Yalan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and watched as he rummaged through the bodies of the deceased cultivators, retrieving a few relatively intact Treasure Weapons, as well as over ten storage pouches and spatial bracelets.

Qi Yalan used violence to break the restrictions on them, pouring out and tallying all the wealth and resources inside. It was quite a substantial gain.

Finally, they burned all the bodies to ashes, erasing all traces. The two changed direction and continued hunting in the city.

However, this time Qi Yalan dared not let Qin Muling use her abilities again. The previous group of people had limited strength, and he could handle them calmly. But if they encountered a few more formidable monsters, it would be difficult to guarantee that they could retreat unscathed.

"I must quickly improve my cultivation..."

Qin Muling silently pondered. These deceased cultivators were far from being comparable to her senior sister, but they were much stronger than herself. Even if she fought them one-on-one, she couldn't defeat even one of them. If she didn't have her senior sister by her side, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As they went deeper, they got closer to the central area of the abandoned city. The emerging monsters became increasingly dangerous and difficult to deal with. Qin Muling couldn't even intervene now, she could only watch Qi Yalan fight them.

The various spoils in the spatial bracelets became more and more abundant, with most of them being useful to Qin Muling. The remaining items, if sold to those unscrupulous merchants, could also fetch a good amount of High Grade Spirit Stones.

With Qi Yalan's current status, the gains from just one trip outside were huge benefits that low-level cultivators could only dream of, even if they risked their lives.

"Two more human cultivators? Daring to come here just because they have some cultivation? Truly ignorant of life and death."

A chilling wind blew, and a hoarse and eerie roar echoed as billowing black mist surged out from underground, covering the sky and earth.

In the black mist, thick spears as thick as arms, shimmering with blood-red light, materialized out of thin air and shot out fiercely, shattering countless sword qi.

Qi Yalan waved his hand, releasing a bright sword aura to protect himself and Qin Muling within it. The silent and ancient sword in his hand transformed into a lively silver dragon, rushing into the depths of the black mist at a critical moment.

Amidst the deafening explosion, a pale and bony giant claw, hundreds of feet in size, burst out, carrying nearly transparent flames, and swiftly grabbed towards the two of them.

Qi Yalan raised his hand, and the silent and ancient sword split into thousands of sword light vortexes, entangling and wearing down the giant claw layer by layer. Large thunder and fire, as big as fists, fell rapidly, crashing onto the giant claw and exploding into thunderous electric dragons.

After a brief stalemate, the giant claw couldn't hold on any longer. The demonic flames extinguished, revealing numerous cracks on its surface, and finally shattered into pieces.

The mysterious and hoarse voice hesitated for a moment, "So it's just the younger generation from Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace... Forget it, consider yourselves lucky today!"

The black mist that covered the sky and earth suddenly dissipated, turning into a pitch-black fireball that disappeared into the distance at a dazzling speed, flashing for a moment before disappearing into the horizon.

"...Did it just run away like that?"

Qin Muling looked around in surprise. The unseen old ghost was obviously not an easy opponent, and he didn't fall short in the fight against Qi Yalan. How could he simply retreat so easily?

"It's fine now, let's go back."

Qi Yalan glanced up at the sky, seeming to understand something, and turned around to embrace Qin Muling, soaring into the sky on his flying sword.
