"Hmph, this old fool is truly cunning. However, do you think that I really have no way of dealing with him like this?"

Ling Jian's heart was filled with a sneer as a cold glint flashed across his eyes.

Medicinal materials were extremely important to every disciple of the Qing-Yun Sect, especially to those disciples who needed to undergo the medicinal bath to temper their bodies. It had to be said that this move of the Third Elder's was indeed very vicious, but if it was the previous Ling Jian, he might have lost his future cultivation because of this move. Without the support of sufficient medicinal materials' essence, he would not be able to refine a higher grade medicinal pill, and Ling Jian might not be able to do so.

However, now that Ling Jian had obtained the body tempering sacred art that was attached to the Sword of Radiance Sect, it was a completely different story. Even without the essence of the herbs, he was unable to refine a higher graded pill, and even though the effect was a little weaker, it did not affect Ling Jian's progress in cultivation at all.

Moreover, right now he was cooperating with the Medicine Sect. The profits from the Body Refinement Pellet alone was already enough for him to buy many precious and powerful medicinal ingredients. Even those that were more potent than the ones in the treasury were better.

The Third Elder's actions, at most, would have slightly slowed his cultivation speed down, but even so, his cultivation speed was still astounding in the entire Qing-Yun Sect. It had to be known, to Ling Jian, the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth turning into sword Qi was his medicinal herb! It was his treasury!

Bang!

Ling Jian waved his hand and loosened his grip, releasing the guard disciple. To him, all of the fiery ingredients in the treasury now had no effect at all. Whether he took them or not, there was no meaning at all.

"Third Elder, you really do not give up on your evil intentions. At that time, when a new batch of powerhouses appear in the sect, when they become elders, it will be your doom!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed past Ling Jian's eyes. Without any hesitation, he took a step forward and left.

If these three Great Elders were to be tactful, then it would be better. If they did not know what was good for them, then Ling Jian would not care about some righteous matter, and would directly eliminate them. However, this matter did not affect Ling Jian's personal safety, and if they did not know what was good for them, then Ling Jian would not hesitate to kill them.

However, it would be unwise for the sect to kill off a group of these elites too early. This way, the Qing-Yun Sect would be in danger if the other sects coveted them.

However, Xiao Lingshuang's actions today had completely caused Ling Jian to loathe his image. Originally, he had planned to let Xiao Lingshuang live in the Qing-Yun Sect for a while longer, but now, he could imagine that once the sect's three thousand sword formation was set up, it would be the day of the three Elders' deaths!

As for Ling Jian, he had just walked out of the treasury, and had not walked far when he heard the sounds of fighting coming from far away, and cheers from all around.

"There's someone fighting?"

Ling Jian frowned. After hearing the fluctuations of the fight, he quickened his steps and rushed towards the location of the fight.

After getting close, Ling Jian seemed to realize that the other party seemed to only have one person. His martial arts were quite high and he was actually able to suppress a few of the sect's top disciples.

"Who are you? How dare you attack our Qingyun Mountain?"

Ling Jian was also secretly surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but frown. Now that he was the Young Sect Master, he naturally had to assume the role of a Young Sect Master.

As they neared each other again, the ripples and chaos in the battle became clearer. The blurry sounds suddenly became much clearer, as one side was a core disciple of the Qing-Yun Sect while the other side was a woman. The woman kept shouting angrily, as if she was very angry.

"You bastards, are you even men? "You don't know how to fight, but when I was at the Qing-Yun Sect, your progress was so slow. You've only been fighting for four hours and you've all been defeated?"

Ah!" Senior Sister, please spare us! "You're already at the seventh level of the martial path and you're just a step away from the eighth level. We disciples, let alone joining hands, even if you stood there and let us fight you, we still wouldn't be able to do it!

"That's right, eldest senior sister. You are quite magnanimous, so there's no need for you to bother with us juniors. We admit defeat, we admit defeat, we admit defeat."

"… …"

These kinds of people that begged for mercy could be heard incessantly.

"Big Senior? Was it Senior Sister Gu? Senior Sister Gu, you're back? "

Ling Jian's heart shook as he immediately quickened his pace towards the location of the battle. In just a few breaths of time, he had arrived at the location of the battle and looked over, only to see a woman in pink tight-uniformed clothing standing in the middle of the crowd of core disciples, constantly criticizing and cursing.

This woman was as beautiful as a pear, with skin as fair as a lamb's fat, and a beauty that could topple empires. At this moment, she radiated a sharp aura that caused everyone to be unable to restrain their expressions from changing tragically. Even Ling Jian felt his heart tremble slightly when he saw this aura, and the woman's eyes were so sharp that they could pierce through space hundreds of times.

"Hmph, on the path of martial arts, one has to face adversity and be brave and aggressive. How can one admit defeat?" How could there be this kind of mentality before he had used all of his strength? With such lucky thoughts in his mind, how was he going to reach the peak of martial arts in the future? "In the future, when someone wants to kill you, you guys will admit your inferiority, beg for forgiveness, and let them kill you? — You bunch of weaklings, get up immediately. It's rare for you guys to let me return, but you can't let me enjoy myself like this?"

The girl cursed as she kicked at the core disciples. The core disciples were also in pain. However, no matter how much they screamed, they refused to get up.

"Haha, eldest senior sister is back, and senior sister Gu is back!"2

When Ling Jian saw this scene, he was overjoyed. The person who had come was none other than the only disciple his mother had taken in all those years ago. It was his eldest senior sister, Gu Yan Xi.

The original Ling Jian of her body had always been with her since childhood, and their relationship was very good. It could be said that she was childhood friends, but Sister Gu would usually cultivate outside the mountains and rarely appear in the Qing-Yun Sect. If you counted carefully, it would be almost a year since they last met.
