"Little friend, your words are quite amusing. In the Ancient Martial Realm, it is indeed survival of the fittest. The Ling Family is not strong enough, yet they occupy such a precious spirit jade ore vein. Even if it wasn't taken by our Ancient Sword Sect, other superpowers would certainly have taken it once the news spread. Now that our Ancient Sword Sect has returned the spirit jade ore vein to you, I wonder what else you want?"

Elder Gu You shook his head, his aged eyes looked at Qin Yang, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Hehe, if you had only taken a single spirit jade ore vein, it would be understandable. Not just you; even I would be greatly tempted by this spirit jade ore vein. However, not only did you take the spirit jade ore vein, but your Ancient Sword Sect also continues to pressure the Ling Family for marriage, which is a bit disgraceful."

Qin Yang smiled lightly, then his gaze became sharp.

"Just imagine if I weren't here; what kind of situation would the Ling Family be in now? As for your argument of survival of the fittest, I completely agree."

Qin Yang nodded slightly, saying that the survival of the fittest is most evident in the Immortal Cultivation Realm and similarly in the Ancient Martial Realm, though not so apparent in the Mortal Realm.

"However, the pity is, now the situation is that I am strong and you are weak. It's my turn to coerce you now."

With a flicker of coldness in his eyes, Qin Yang spoke directly.

After expending so much effort and even breaking the Purple Blood Soft Sword to defeat the Ancient Sword Sect members, simply returning the spirit jade ore vein was not something Qin Yang would agree to.

Furthermore, if he left Nanyun Province, the members of the Ancient Sword Sect might not openly move against the Ling Family, but they could covertly suppress them.

A superpower has countless ways to secretly target the Ling Family.

"Then what does the little friend want?"

Elder Gu You's face suddenly darkened.

Ling Jianzi, Lei Tong, Bing Yuan, and others also had a touch of anger in their eyes.

"I'll give you two choices: the Ancient Sword Sect adheres to me, becoming my subordinate power, or I will kill you all now, then go to the Ancient Sword Sect's main sect and eradicate you from the root!"

Qin Yang's face turned cold as he threatened.

Upon hearing this, Elder Gu You, Ling Jianzi, and the others all showed expressions of shock and disbelief at Qin Yang's unexpected and strong demand.

"Presumptuous!"

Ling Jianzi exploded in anger, shouting.

"Youngster, how dare you threaten our Ancient Sword Sect like this!"

The hot-tempered Elder Tian Yan also glared, shouting angrily.

The Ancient Sword Sect, as a superpower, had never been told to adhere to someone with such arrogance. This kid was truly audacious.

"Tsk tsk, it's exactly your Ancient Sword Sect I'm threatening. Imagine, if I were defeated by you today, I would not only die, but the Ling Family would also suffer a great calamity, wouldn't it?"

Qin Yang chuckled lightly, murmuring.

Hearing this, Ling Jianzi and the others' faces froze.

Although they were unwilling to admit it, there was some truth in this youngster's words. If he had been defeated today, they would surely have used all means to force out his Daoist Skill and then kill him. As for the Ling Family daring to challenge the Ancient Sword Sect, naturally, they wouldn't be spared.

"However, fortunately, the winner is me. I'll give you ten breaths to consider, make your choice quickly, as my time is limited."

Qin Yang's gaze swept over Elder Gu You and the others, speaking lightly.

Ling Jianzi, Lei Tong, and others, were all deep schemers, and at this moment, their old faces changed drastically, glaring fiercely at Qin Yang.

"Young man, aren't you going too far!"

Elder Gu You's face fluctuated, and his voice was cold.

"Hehe, when you seized this mine, when you coerced the Ling Family, and forced them to depend on you, was it not overboard? But when I do this, it's overboard?"

Qin Yang sneered, speaking lightly.

Qin Yang's words left Elder Gu You, Ling Jianzi, and others momentarily speechless.

Ling Quan, standing by the side, blushed with excitement in his eyes. Young Qin was indeed domineering, actually aiming to subdue the Ancient Sword Sect.

"Don't forget it was you who just said survival of the fittest. Ultimately, the situation now is that I am stronger than you."

Qin Yang's gaze fixed on Elder Gu You and others, his voice cold.

"Moreover, don't think I am eager to have you. You are just of some use to me in the current stage. Once my strength increases further, even if you come begging to adhere to me, I wouldn't deign to look at you."

Qin Yang said lightly.

Once he crossed the Immortal Master Realm and advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage of the Immortal Spirit Realm, he would truly be on the path of immortal cultivation, only then could a cultivator's means be displayed. By then, eradicating these Ancient Martial Artists would be like squashing ants, and what use would he have for them?

"What a joke, we would beg to adhere to you? Such arrogance!"

Elder Tian Yan glared, shouting angrily.

"Supreme Elder, let's fight him!"

Beside him, Elder Bing Yuan also spoke. Although he had suffered a severe blow from Qin Yang's Star Fist, resulting in severe internal injuries, after some rest and adjustment, his combat power had recovered somewhat.

"Young man, you see, although we are injured, we still have the power to fight."

Elder Gu You's old face remained composed, his voice icy.

As soon as his voice fell, the fire elemental power around Elder Gu You erupted, scarlet flames swirling around him, and the Fire Spirit Sword in his hand glowed with a scarlet-gold light, indicating his resolve to fight to the death with Qin Yang.

"Tsk tsk, you still have the power to fight? Hehe, that last strike of mine must have been uncomfortable for you, but what's more uncomfortable is the burning pain you feel in your chest at dawn every day at the moment of the sun and moon's transition, that's enough to make you feel worse than death, isn't it?"

Qin Yang's eyes flickered, as he smiled lightly, speaking.

"Nonsense, the Supreme Elder is in good health..."

Elder Tian Yan immediately shouted angrily, but when he looked at Elder Gu You, his words suddenly stopped.

At this moment, Ling Jianzi, Lei Tong, and the others also looked at Elder Gu You because what Qin Yang mentioned was something even they didn't know.

"How did you find out?!"

Elder Gu You's face changed dramatically, his eyes fixed on Qin Yang. This was the deepest secret in his heart, when he broke through to the Innate Realm, due to the reverse flow of true qi and misalignment of meridians, the qi that should have flowed through another meridian instead flowed through the Heart Meridian of Hand Shaoyin related to the heart, nearly leading to Qi deviation.

Fortunately, he immediately consumed a fifth-grade spirit medicine, the Sun and Moon Chasing Fire Grass, and regained his senses. In the end, he endured it.

However, it left him with a hidden ailment, feeling as if his chest was on fire at dawn when the fire poison consumed his heart, causing immense pain. Originally, this pain lasted for five minutes, then gradually increased to a quarter of an hour, and now it had reached an hour.

"Hehe, how I know is not important. The key point is that if I take action, I can cure your fire poison heart pain."

Qin Yang smiled lightly, his gaze leisurely, looking at Elder Gu You, he spoke.
