My carefree life in space

Chapter 227 Uninvited Guest

After his explanation, everyone understood what had happened.

It turned out that after the news spread that the Yuan family had a map of ancient ruins, Qin Yang's brother-in-law came to him, wanting to use the power of Changtianmen to get the Yuan family to hand over the map.

Qin Yang refused immediately. Regardless of whether the rumors were true or false, even if they were, he couldn't possibly be so forceful and ruthless as to steal it. While it's true that the cultivation world values ​​martial prowess, it also emphasizes character and temperament, which are crucial for achieving great success in cultivation.

After refusing his brother-in-law's offer, Qin Yang thought the matter was over and didn't think much of it. However, half a month later, news spread throughout the continent that the Yuan family had been wiped out. Qin Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately sought out his brother-in-law to inquire.

At first, the brother-in-law stubbornly denied it, but when he got angry, the brother-in-law finally admitted it, but his tone was full of indifference.

Qin Yang sensed that things weren't so simple. He ordered an investigation and discovered that his brother-in-law had been collaborating with outsiders under the name of Changtianmen, forcing the Yuan family to hand over the map. When the Yuan family refused, they massacred the entire family.

After learning the truth, Qin Yang was furious and wanted to severely punish his brother-in-law, but his wife and in-laws stopped him. He then decided to forbid his brother-in-law from visiting again.

Over the years, he had forgotten about the matter, after all, the Yuan family had nothing to do with him and it wasn't worth taking to heart.

After Qin Yang finished speaking, everyone looked at him with some sympathy. Even if he didn't do it himself, his brother-in-law did it in the name of Changtianmen. Even if he wasn't directly responsible, he couldn't escape the fault of oversight.

"If you really didn't participate, then swear it!" Yuan Qing's hatred reached its peak after hearing Qin Yang's account. These greedy people would wipe out an entire family for a piece of information, and what's hateful is that those who had the ability to stop them stood by and did nothing.

Left with no other choice, Qin Yang also made the oath against his inner demons.

They originally thought they would have to go out to find the murderer, but now that Qin Yang has revealed the truth, the big shots find themselves with nothing to do. They suddenly feel that the oath they made was not sincere.

“This… descendant of the Yuan family, look, none of us here were involved in the Yuan family’s affairs. Shouldn’t our disciple be released?” Master Lingxu suggested.

“That person’s statement is just one side of the story. How do I know if there are others behind it? You still have to keep your oath and find all the murderers.” Yuan Qing wouldn’t let them get away with it so easily.

As for the people Qin Yang mentioned, she would make them pay the price one by one. Unfortunately, several of the younger generation from minor families were among the hostages she had captured. In addition, several low-level organizations had also come to the ancient ruins.

"We'll talk about finding the murderer later. Now, release our people first, or else..." Zhang Yuan's tone was unfriendly. These major sects were not to be trifled with, and they were already in a bad mood after being humiliated today.

Yuan Qing knew that he was outnumbered and outmatched, and if these people really got angry, he wouldn't come out on top either.

Just as she was about to activate the formation to teleport the people in the square here, the temple gate was suddenly smashed open by a terrifying force. Everyone's attention was drawn to this sudden commotion, and they all looked towards the entrance.

A group of people filed in through the door, led by an elderly man in a gray robe. He was thin, with a cold and stern face, his eyes revealing a sinister light, and a haughty smirk playing on his lips.

"Daoist Xuancang!" someone inside the hall called out the old man's identity.

This name is known to everyone in the Yan Yang Continent, because the cultivation method he practiced was extremely evil, specializing in absorbing the cultivation of others and refining it for his own use. He also acted without any scruples, and was already infamous in the cultivation world.

What's frightening is that he is now a terrifying existence at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, with few rivals on the entire continent.

After entering, the group ignored the people in the main hall and searched around. Finding nothing, they looked at the scene in the air.

Seemingly having guessed something, Daoist Xuancang suddenly burst into laughter, "Don't you pride yourselves on being a great sect? How come your juniors have been kidnapped?"

After saying that, he looked up in a certain direction and said, "Those hiding in the shadows, come out!"

Yuan Qing felt herself being locked in by a cold, sinister aura. She knew the visitor was up to no good, and things wouldn't go smoothly today.

After being trapped here, although she broke through to the Nascent Soul stage with the help of the remaining divine power, she was no match for this person. The reason she had previously managed to defeat those people was due to the power of the temple. However, she had a feeling that that power might be ineffective against the person before her.

Even so, she still wanted to try. She released the restraints on the experts from various sects and concentrated her power on Xuan Cang Daoist, expecting to see fear on his face. However, he was only slightly surprised before his face lit up with joy.

Yuan Qing could feel that the remaining power of the entire temple was slowly disappearing. She realized something was wrong; the temple's power was being absorbed by him. She immediately stopped applying pressure.

Just as she stopped moving, her body was pulled into the main hall by a powerful force.

After staggering to his feet, Yuan Qing looked at Xuan Cang Daoist with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"So you're the one behind it all? Tell me, how did you obtain the power of the temple? Tell me honestly, and I might leave you with a whole corpse," Xuan Cang Daoist said contemptuously.

"Taoist, she is from the Yuan family. It seems that the Yuan family must have some connection with the ruins." A person behind Xuancang Taoist introduced her to him.

This person is Si Xin, the leader of the Shadow Pavilion. The Shadow Pavilion has a bad reputation in the cultivation world, known for its cruelty and treachery. They will stop at nothing to pursue power.

Now that they've gotten involved with Xuancang Daoist, it's obvious that nothing good is coming of it.

Yuan Qing had no method; she only knew that she could sense that power, and it didn't reject her, making it easy for her to draw upon it when she wanted to.

Besides, even if she had a method, she wouldn't reveal it. She could tell that the person who had just spoken was connected to the Yuan family's affairs and might even be the mastermind behind it all. How could she let them have their way?

"What did you say? I don't know anything." The words had barely left her lips when she was sent flying backward, spitting out blood. Before Xuan Cang Daoist, she was utterly powerless to resist.

"My patience is limited. If I don't speak now, I'll never get a chance to speak again." Daoist Xuancang had already experienced the wonder of that power and was determined to obtain it. This was also the purpose of his personal trip.

"I told you, I don't know," Yuan Qing replied coldly, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"You're courting death!" Xuancang Daoist roared in fury, unleashing an even more powerful force upon Yuan Qing.

Yuan Qing thought he was going to die this time, but unexpectedly, the force was intercepted halfway.

After Yan Hua Zhenren dispelled that power, he stood between Yuan Qing and Xuan Cang Daoist.

"Yan Hua, how dare you interfere in my affairs!" Xuan Cang Daoist roared in anger.

"You can't kill her, our disciples are still in her hands." There was another reason why True Person Yan Hua intervened: he couldn't let Daoist Xuan Cang obtain divine power, otherwise no one on the entire continent would be able to subdue him.

Master Lingxu and the others also stood in the middle, their intention to protect him was obvious. They also knew the importance of the matter and could not let Daoist Xuancang succeed.

"Fine! Fine! Fine! Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for not giving you face." After saying that, the people behind him stepped forward, and a battle was about to break out.
