Bang!

The figure of the man in black flew back and fell heavily to the ground, losing consciousness.

Lu Bingyao's pretty face was icy cold. With a flash, she walked out of the tent, having already put her shoes on.

The other three men in black turned their gaze toward Lu Bingyao upon seeing their companion's pitiful state.

"Boss Cold Snake, that girl is one of them!"

One of the men in black shouted immediately.

"Looks quite pretty, no wonder Ximen got interested in her."

Cold Snake's gaze fell on Lu Bingyao's face, a lustful glint flashed in his eyes; this cold-looking girl matched his taste.

"Capture her, let Ximen know when we return, the other two are his and this one is mine."

Cold Snake said indifferently.

"Yes, Boss Cold Snake."

The three men in black responded simultaneously.

The closest man in black stretched his hand towards Lu Bingyao to grab her.

Lu Bingyao's pretty face chilled, she lifted her foot and kicked the man in black's abdomen.

Bang!

The man in black bent over, flew over several tents, and fell painfully to the ground.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be an Entry Level Ancient Martial Artist, no wonder you weren't knocked out by the smoke earlier. Perfect, this young master prefers flavorful cold girls like you."

Cold Snake's sinister eyes flashed a light.

"Black Fire, go capture her."

Cold Snake ordered.

"Yes, Young Master Cold Snake."

An old man in a black robe behind Cold Snake glanced at Lu Bingyao, releasing his aura, his foot stomping the ground, his figure darting toward Lu Bingyao like an eagle.

"A Late Stage Yellow Tier expert?!"

Lu Bingyao's eyes narrowed, her figure darted toward the forest behind her, thinking that Qin Yang must have gone to that forest.

"Trying to escape?"

Black Fire sneered, his inner power surged, his speed suddenly increased, and in a blink, he was already three zhang behind Lu Bingyao.

Whew!

Lu Bingyao didn't turn back, she flicked her slender hand, sending a shimmering cold Flying Saber straight at Black Fire's face.

Black Fire caught the swiftly flying Flying Saber easily with two fingers.

"A petty trick."

Black Fire sneered disdainfully, considering an Entry Level Ancient Martial Artist like her not worth noticing in front of a Late Stage Yellow Tier expert like himself.

At this moment, Lu Bingyao's figure disappeared into the pitch-black forest.

"Hmph, you can't escape."

Black Fire snorted coldly, his figure followed closely into the forest.

In the dark forest, faint silver light gently swayed in the night.

"One, two, three... a total of eighteen."

Qin Yang's face was full of joy. He held six, and each of the two girls held six, making a total of eighteen Spirit Gathering Grass.

"These herbs smell quite fragrant."

Sun Tiantian gently sniffed, her beautiful eyes becoming bright and clear. The herbs in her hand emitted a refreshing fragrance, very pleasant.

Qin Yang smiled and nodded. The Spirit Gathering Grass could gather Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, surrounded with Spiritual Energy.

"Let's go back."

Qin Yang smiled and said.

However, just as the three started to walk, Qin Yang suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed.

The two girls beside Qin Yang were taken aback.

"Qin Yang, what's wrong?" Sun Tiantian asked.

"Someone's heading into the forest."

A faint blue shine appeared in Qin Yang's pupils, and the forest became clear in the night.

"Hmm? It's the icy girl?"

Qin Yang's expression changed slightly.

"You two hold onto these."

Qin Yang handed the six Spirit Gathering Grass to the two girls, his figure flashed forward.

In the pitch-black forest, two shadows moved in succession; however, the pursuing figure was obviously faster.

"Hmph, just an Entry Level Ancient Martial Artist, having Young Master Cold Snake interested in you is your fortune, daring to escape!"

Black Fire's lips curled into a sneer, black flames flickering in his hands.

"Black Flame Palm!"

Black Fire shouted coldly, shooting out a palm.

A Flame Palm Seal imbued with Inner Power bursts out, attacking Lu Bingyao.

Bang!

The Flame Palm Seal landed heavily on Lu Bingyao's defenseless back, causing her delicate body to fly forward.

Just when Lu Bingyao thought she would crash into a tree trunk ahead, she was caught by a solid chest.

Lu Bingyao lifted her head and saw Qin Yang holding her, her face turning slightly red but urgently saying: "Be careful, he is a Late Stage Yellow Tier Ancient Martial Artist."

"Pfft!"

After speaking, Lu Bingyao's pretty face turned pale, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Still came a step late."

Qin Yang's face sank, lowering Lu Bingyao, and turning her around.

On Lu Bingyao's back, a black Flame Palm Seal was very apparent, with the surrounding clothes slightly scorched, contrasting sharply with the faintly visible fair skin beside the palm print.

"Spring Rain Nourishing Body."

Qin Yang formed a Spell with his hand, pale green Spiritual Power surged at his fingertips, soon transforming into a pale green flow of water covering Lu Bingyao's back.

Under the nurturing flow of pale green water, the black palm print rapidly faded on Lu Bingyao's back, and a trace of scorching Black Qi dissipated. A few breaths later, her back returned to its fair and smooth condition.

"It's alright now."

Qin Yang said.

Lu Bingyao nodded, surprise flickered in her beautiful eyes. She had just been struck by a Late Stage Yellow Tier expert's palm, which wasn't a simple wound, yet he healed it casually, indicating his medical skills had improved.

"Who are you?"

Black Fire frowned, not sensing any distinct Inner Power fluctuations from the young man in front, but he somehow felt a dangerous aura.

"I should be asking you that."

Qin Yang's gaze turned cold.

"Qin Yang..."

"Qin Yang, where are you?"

At this moment, behind Qin Yang, the voices of Sun Tiantian and Su Qingqing sounded, and soon they spotted him, rushing over.

Upon seeing Lu Bingyao and the black-robed old man, the two girls were surprised but obediently stood beside Qin Yang silently. Smart as they were, they could tell the black-robed old man wasn't friendly.

"I understand now, you three must be those girls. Indeed, all quite good-looking."

Black Fire looked at the youthful faces beside Qin Yang and commented.

"And you, you're that kid Ximen Huan specifically ordered to be killed, aren't you?"

A sharp light flashed in Black Fire's eyes, his gaze growing cold as he stared at Qin Yang.

"Ximen Huan?"

Qin Yang's eyebrows twitched, it was indeed that guy. Upon seeing the black-robed old man, he'd already guessed it somewhat; knowing Ximen Huan's vengeful nature. Nevertheless, with Qin Yang's current Cultivation, he feared nothing. If Ximen Huan didn't bother him, then fine; if he did, he was seeking his own death!
