Blood instantly gushed out.
“Qin Xuan, you!”
Wu Yong yelled in anger, but it was already too late.
“Such a rat, if he’s not killed, should he be kept to continue doing evil?”
Qin Xuan looked around, finally fixing his gaze on Wu Yong.
“Those who betray their own should be executed!”
Looking at the sharp sword in Qin Xuan’s hand, still dripping with blood, Wu Yong stared at Qin Xuan in terror.
“You, how dare you!”
“How dare I not?”
Qin Xuan walked towards Wu Yong with the sword, gently raising it as he walked to shake off the bloodstains.
“Framing a direct Disciple, inviting wolves into the house, betraying his own—which of these isn’t enough reason to kill him?”
Qin Xuan looked at Wu Yong with icy eyes; at this moment, the Five-Rank Alchemist was trembling all over, not daring to meet his gaze.
“Master Wu, do you think such a rat should be killed?”
Qin Xuan mockingly pointed his sword at Wu Yong, tapping the blade against Wu Yong’s face.
Blood stuck to Wu Yong’s face, making him shiver all over in fear.
The dozen or so followers behind Wu Yong, who usually jumped around, dared not say a word at this moment, shrinking back, not daring to lift their heads.
“Master Wu, why aren’t you speaking?”
The tip of the sword grazed Wu Yong’s neck, drawing a line of blood.
“No…”
Wu Yong trembled, almost collapsing.
“Master Wu, I’m asking you a question. Tell me, should he be killed?”
Hearing this, Wu Yong instantly reacted, nodding repeatedly in a hurry.
“He should be killed, of course he should be killed!”
“Such a rat should not only be killed but also publicly executed as a warning to others!”
Listening to these words, Qin Xuan nodded and withdrew his sword.
“Hmm, I knew Master Wu was a reasonable person, not some incredibly foolish idiot. It seems I was right.”
As Qin Xuan spoke, he glanced at the few people following behind Wu Yong.
“What are you all standing around for? Leaving this filthy thing here is disgraceful. Hurry up and dispose of it!”
These people immediately felt as if they had received a great pardon, rushing forward to carry away the guard’s corpse.
Wu Yong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Xuan sheath his sword and leave. He quickly turned to depart, but just then, Qin Xuan suddenly spoke.
“Oh, right, Master Wu, from now on, I’ll be doing Alchemy on this Dan Peak. There won’t be any problems, will there?”
Wu Yong wiped the sweat from his forehead, his pale lips trembling as he nodded repeatedly.
“No problem, of course no problem. You are a Disciple of a Great Master of Alchemy, so of course you have the right to perform Alchemy here.”
“If you need anything in the future, just ask. I will certainly help if I can!”
As he spoke, he repeatedly cupped his hands towards Qin Xuan.
He’s a smart person!
Qin Xuan’s lips curved upwards, he nodded, and waved his hand, signaling that he could leave.
“In the future, then, I’ll be relying on Master Wu!”
Wu Yong nodded as he retreated.
“No trouble, no trouble…”
After speaking, fearing that Qin Xuan would act against him, he quickly scurried away.
“What a useless good-for-nothing!”
After Wu Yong left with his people, Qin Xuan said with contempt.
Jiang Dan and Ge Dan, standing by, looked at Qin Xuan with complicated expressions.
They were inherently kind-hearted, and after that guard begged for mercy, they had already considered letting him off.
But they hadn’t expected Qin Xuan to act so swiftly, without any hesitation, directly beheading the guard, which startled them both.
Looking at Qin Xuan, a thought couldn’t help but arise in their minds at this moment.
Could this person really have been killed by Qin Xuan?
Judging by the ruthlessness of Qin Xuan’s actions, it was indeed possible.
“No need for the two Great Masters to be nervous!”
Qin Xuan spoke slowly, smiling at the two of them.
“If this person isn’t eliminated, others will follow suit in the future, and there might truly be no other way.”
“With so many guards, if each one acts this way, how can Alchemy be performed?”
“Strike one punch to avoid a hundred punches. The two Great Masters should understand this principle.”
Jiang Dan and Ge Dan nodded slightly, exchanging a complicated glance.
They certainly understood this principle, but seeing Qin Xuan act so quickly, they still felt a bit uncomfortable.
After all, they had initially let the guard go, but Qin Xuan directly killed him, which made both of them somewhat unhappy.
“It’s good that he’s killed. Things will be quieter in the future.”
Jiang Dan sighed as he spoke.
Ge Dan also nodded repeatedly.
However, their expressions were somewhat solemn.
Qin Xuan smiled as he glanced at the two of them.
“Oh, right, there’s something else I forgot to tell the two Great Masters. It’s good news.”
Amidst their puzzled and expectant gazes, Qin Xuan lightly coughed.
“I can now refine Five-Rank Pills.”
“What!”
Indeed, upon hearing this news, Jiang Dan and Ge Dan immediately looked at Qin Xuan in shock.
They had completely not expected Qin Xuan to actually have refined a Five-Rank Pill.
Looking at their surprised yet doubtful eyes, Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, nodded again to confirm, and casually took out a Medicinal Pill.
“This is a Purple Heart Spirit Opening Pill. I have successfully refined it. Please take a look, two Great Masters.”
Handing the Medicinal Pill to them, Qin Xuan finally withdrew his gaze with satisfaction!
People must have their own value for others to treat them as friends.
If they have no value, how could others take them seriously?
For example, before, the reason Jiang Dan and Ge Dan strongly protected Qin Xuan was precisely because Qin Xuan was their only chance to defeat Wan Yao Valley, wasn’t it?
