"This talisman is called the Thunder Shock Talisman, for Ancient Martial Artists below the Profound Tier, it will cause instant death, and for those at the Profound Tier, it will cause severe injury..."

At that moment, Qin Yang explained the usage of the talisman to Li Xinyan and the other two. With this Water Crocodile Armor and the talismans for protection, it would be difficult for Ancient Martial Artists of the Profound and Yellow Tiers to harm them.

Beside them, Xiao Hailong and the four behind him, Hai Feng, Sea Huo, Hai Lei, and Hai Mu, looked covetously at the armor and numerous talismans, not expecting that Young Master Qin had so many treasures in hand.

Li Xinyan touched the soft armor in her hand and the talismans glowing with various colors, her eyes full of joy. It seemed she held an important place in the boss's heart.

"Xinyan, I also have this Beauty Pill for you. Once taken, it can maintain your youthful appearance for thirty years."

Qin Yang also gave Li Xinyan a Beauty Pill.

"With such precious armor, talismans, and a Beauty Pill gifted to me, boss, I really love you."

Li Xinyan said joyfully, tiptoeing to give Qin Yang a peck on the cheek.

Qin Yang smiled, was this considered a stolen kiss?

"Work earnestly, and in the future, I will reward you with this armor and these talismans as well."

Qin Yang shifted his gaze to Xiao Hailong and the four others, speaking lightly.

"Yes, Young Master Qin."

Upon hearing that they too might receive the armor and talismans, Xiao Hailong and his group expressed their joy together, feeling less resistant to being under Qin Yang's leadership.

Using a stick, then offering a sweet date—such were the methods to command subordinates. As high-ranking members of the Sea Dragon Sect, they understood this, yet the allure of the sweet date was strong. The life-saving armor and those talismans were indeed rare treasures.

Just as Qin Yang distributed the armor and talismans to Li Xinyan and the other two, dozens of figures quickly approached from the Osmanthus Forest.

"Boss, it's Bi Pavilion Master and the others coming."

Zhao Hui said. Prior to this, he had asked Wang Hu to call the Celestial Sword Pavilion, hoping that Bi Pavilion Master would bring reinforcements.

In the Osmanthus Forest, Bi Luoyue, dressed in a green gown, led the way with a sword in hand. Behind her was the current Punishment Elder, White Crane, and the Guardian Elder.

Following them were fifty white-clothed disciples, all carrying long swords. These disciples were at the Late Stage Yellow Tier, indicating that Bi Luoyue had brought the elite from the pavilion.

"You came."

Qin Yang looked at Bi Luoyue, a gentle expression in his eyes.

"Yes."

Bi Luoyue nodded, then looked in surprise at the ground covered with corpses. Among them, she recognized An Yuan, An Xingchen, Ximen Feihua, and Elder Han. The other personnel she didn't know, but it wasn't hard to guess they were from the Dark Palace and the Ximen Clan.

"Did you kill them?"

Bi Luoyue looked at Qin Yang with disbelief in her bright eyes. Among these people, she knew for certain that Elder Han was an Earth Tier expert, and now he was also dead.

"Yes, I've made some advancements in my strength."

Qin Yang nodded with a smile and said.

Bi Luoyue glanced at Qin Yang strangely, suppressing her astonishment. These advancements were no small matter, as even an Earth Tier expert had fallen at his hands.

"Are you... Sect Leader Xiao?"

Bi Luoyue's gaze shifted to Xiao Hailong. She had met Xiao Hailong once before while following her master, and thus had some impression of him.

Xiao Hailong nodded, giving Bi Luoyue a slight smile, feeling a bit nostalgic.

Who would have thought the little girl from back then would now become the Pavilion Master, and her strength had reached the Peak of the Profound Tier. It was quite infuriating to compare oneself with others. Young Master Qin before him was even more terrifying, having the strength to kill Earth Tier experts at such a young age.

"Weren't they here at the villa to deal with you? How come now?"

Bi Luoyue asked in confusion.

"Pavilion Master Bi, our Sea Dragon Sect has now pledged allegiance to Young Master Qin, working for him from now on."

Xiao Hailong said with an embarrassed smile, explaining.

Bi Luoyue was momentarily stunned, lightly nodding her head. Though she didn't know what methods Qin Yang had used, subduing a third-rate Ancient Martial force was ultimately a good thing.

"Now that the senior members of the Dark Palace are dead, the remaining disciples are incapable of much. I'll leave it to you to consolidate the Dark Palace's forces and strengthen our Celestial Sword Pavilion."

Qin Yang said to Bi Luoyue.

Bi Luoyue lightly nodded her head, aware that the shifting of power among Ancient Martial Artists was common. With the Dark Palace's decline, being annexed was quite normal.

"Sect Leader Xiao, assist Pavilion Master Bi in subduing the Dark Palace. You will receive one-third of the Dark Palace's resources."

Qin Yang instructed Xiao Hailong.

"Understood."

Xiao Hailong nodded. This was Young Master Qin's first task for him, and he naturally had to do it well. Besides, the Dark Palace had existed for seventy to eighty years, and surely had no shortage of resources. Getting one-third of them was not bad.

"As for the Ximen Clan, I will personally make a trip."

Qin Yang turned his gaze northward, speaking coldly.

This time, three Earth Tier experts from the Ximen Clan were killed, along with important figures like Ximen Feng and Ximen Feihua. They certainly wouldn't let it go.

Qin Yang wasn't the type to wait passively for retribution from the Ximen Clan. He wasn't going to make the mistake of not killing the snake and getting bitten in return. Since he was already irreconcilable with the Ximen Clan, he would strike, and strike decisively, ensuring they couldn't recover.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hailong was a bit stunned. The Ximen Clan was a second-tier peak force with Earth Tier Late Stage experts, yet Young Master Qin actually planned to go to the Capital City and attack the Ximen Clan. It was truly bold.

After the people from the Celestial Sword Pavilion and the Sea Dragon Sect left, Qin Yang dealt with the aftermath at the villa.

On a soft grassy area of the villa, dozens of figures lay on the ground, with Zhao Hui having ordered the injured to be carried there.

"Boss, this time in our villa, we lost a total of three brothers: Gouzi, Brick, and a sniper thrown from a tree. Afei also lost an arm, and forty-seven had their legs broken."

Zhao Hui reported with a grim expression.

"Xinyan, give each family of the three deceased brothers a settlement fee of ten million, and as long as the villa exists for even a day, their monthly wages will continue to be paid."

Qin Yang's face darkened somewhat as he spoke to Li Xinyan.

The villa's development and growth couldn't avoid such casualties.

"Yes, boss."

Li Xinyan's face turned slightly pale as she nodded. She knew Brick and Gouzi, and her heart was heavy too. These settlements and the continued monthly wages should be enough to ensure those families had no worries for the rest of their lives. Perhaps it could somewhat alleviate the pain in their hearts.

"I will personally treat the others' injuries."

Qin Yang said, walking over to Afei.

"Young Master Qin..."

At that moment, Afei's face was as pale as paper, with blood and flesh mutilated at the site of his broken arm. He weakly opened his eyes, calling softly when he saw Qin Yang approach.

"It's alright, I'll help you heal."

Qin Yang said. He then picked up the severed arm nearby and placed it on Afei's bloodied shoulder.
