Cangyue Kingdom - Nanlai - Shunyang County

The three of them left Wenwan Villa smoothly and wanted to find a place to wait for Ge Ba, but they were met by a dozen men in black first.

Ye Ling sneered: "Qi Bingnan is so eager to silence me! He is indeed not a good person. Master Jin, go back and tell your father to be careful with his friends in the future!"

"Were you really sent by Uncle Qi? Just because we left? I said I wouldn't care about your business, do you know who I am?" Jin Rui was really angry.

"Don't waste time talking to them, just kill them and be done with it," one of them whispered.

"You're looking for death, get away from me, both of you." Ye Ling pulled out a knife and chopped it down vertically, splitting the enemy in half and taking the lives of three people in the process.

Jin Rui wanted to help but was stopped by Xue Jingchuan: "Let her vent her anger, it will also be safe for us, stay away."

"Can…"

"Don't worry, these few people are not enough to fill your sister Ye's teeth," Xue Jingchuan said with a smile.

Ye Ling lived up to everyone's expectations. Every move he made drew blood. The enemies were torn into pieces, spitting blood from their mouths, and died one after another.

"Isn't this too powerful?" Jin Rui was shocked.

Xue Jingchuan was stunned: How could she improve so fast? She wasn't that powerful even when Jiang Fu attacked her. Ye Ling's martial arts could only be described as a rapid improvement.

"Brother Xue, say something?" Jin Rui spoke again.

"She could definitely make it onto the Langya List now," Xue Jingchuan muttered softly. "Though these people aren't masters, they're not bad either. But under Ye Ling's sword, it was like they were playing around. They had no chance to fight back."

"That's right! With so many people, not one of them can make a move. It's like... a wolf and a flock of chickens!" Jin Rui described it very aptly: "Brother Xue, I've figured it out. I want to take Sister Ye as my master and learn peerless martial arts from her."

"What are you two doing?" Ye Ling asked while wiping the knife.

Jin Rui trotted over and said, "Sister Ye, you are amazing! You are the most powerful master I have ever seen!"

"Thank you for the compliment. Go and search their bodies and take away their silver, badges and other things," Ye Ling said.

"Okay." Jin Rui ran to search them, then came back cursing, "These idiots don't even have a hair on their bodies. What poor bastards."

"They are guarding the house and come out to kill people temporarily. They are not professional killers. How could they have money?" Xue Jingchuan said.

"When we killed someone just now, we saw an old tree over there. Let's go up and wait there for Ge Ba to come out." Ye Ling inserted the knife into the scabbard on his back with a beautiful move.

After a while, the three of them sat on the old tree, with a panoramic view of the mountain road out of the village.

Xue Jingchuan thought for a moment and then said, "Ye Ling, why didn't you use your dual swords just now?"

"Do we need two knives to deal with them? What a waste," Ye Ling said.

Xue Jingchuan nodded. "That's right. A knife is so powerful. That's enough. But... you need to change your personality. You're only nineteen, but the way you act and speak makes you look like you're thirty."

"That's called maturity," Jin Rui retorted, "Sister Ye, I've made up my mind. I want to take you as my master."

Ye Ling was shocked: "That's not necessary. I like to be alone."

"I know you won't agree so easily, but now that I've said it, I must do it, Master..."

"Stop, who is your master?" Ye Ling was speechless.

Jin Rui smiled, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and opened it to reveal a few desserts: "Master, I saw you liked desserts last night, so I bought some on the way this morning. Do you want some?"

Ye Ling smiled, put his hands into his arms, and took out a handkerchief from the space: "See, I have prepared something too."

"No way, is this how we play it? I'm the only one who's not prepared." Xue Jingchuan was unhappy.

"Uncle, aren't you an old hand? Why don't you bring food with you when you go out? You must be on the lookout to surround and kill the imperial criminals!" Jin Rui said.

"I thought I could stay overnight at Wenwan Villa, but I didn't expect it to be so cold here. If it rains, I'll be soaked," Xue Jingchuan retorted.

"Don't worry, it's a nice sunny day today and there will definitely be no rain. Besides, the weather has been hot recently, so it's nice to stay outside." Ye Ling had already started eating her snacks.

"Brother Xue, I'll give you some." Jin Rui was still kind-hearted.

"Okay, here you go." Ye Ling threw a white handkerchief to Xue Jingchuan.

"Thank you!" Xue Jingchuan happily opened it. "Wow! My favorite osmanthus cake, Miss Ye, you are so thoughtful!"

"Even food can't stop your mouth," Ye Ling said with disgust.

The three of them planned to spend the night in the tree, because if they left Ge Ba, he might escape, and it would be difficult to find him again.

Not long after nightfall, a group of people hurried out. When they saw the bodies scattered on the roadside, Qi Bingnan felt uneasy: "What a bunch of idiots."

"Mr. Qi, will our actions be affected?" asked one of the tomb robbers.

"It's probably too late to cancel now. The workers over there have already dug it up," said Ge Ba.

"Let's do some work first," Qi Bingnan gave an order, and everyone followed him into the bushes on the side of the road.

Ye Ling and the others looked at each other, and Jin Rui whispered, "Master, should we follow them? What if Ge Ba runs away?"

"They are obviously going to rob tombs. We have never touched upon this kind of thing. It would be very dangerous to follow them," Xue Jingchuan disagreed.

"The Rhino Banner," Ye Ling muttered softly, "They should be going to the Beastmaster's tomb to steal the Rhino Banner."

"Ah?" Xue Jingchuan was surprised: "How did you know?"

"Let's go and take a look." Ye Ling flew down.

The three of them followed Qi Bingnan and others and walked for about half an hour before arriving at a cleared lot. There was already a large pile of dirt on the lot, and it was unclear how deep the pit was.

"Mr. Qi, the entrance to the tomb has been dug open, and our mission is completed," said a shirtless man.

Qi Bingnan looked at Ge Ba and one of his guards and said, "Thank you both for your help."

"Brothers, prepare to go down to the tomb," said Ge Ba.

"Master, they really found the Beastmaster's tomb," Jin Rui whispered.

"Actually, we can also go down and take a look," Ye Ling muttered.

"No, are you crazy? This is where the dead stay. We don't know what's going on down there. What if we can't get out? The three of us have no experience at all. I don't agree, and you are not allowed to go." Xue Jingchuan absolutely disagreed.

"Just because you don't have experience doesn't mean I don't have any. Back then, I read Ghost Blows Out the Light and Grave Robbers' Chronicles from beginning to end. What kind of strange tombs haven't I seen?"

"What is Ghost Blows Out the Light and Grave Robbers' Chronicles? Why haven't I heard of it?" Xue Jingchuan didn't believe it.

"Don't move," Ye Ling stared at Jin Rui and said.

Jin Rui didn't dare to move because a snake was slowly crawling up his back.

"The coral reef snake will kill you with just one bite." Xue Jingchuan was also nervous.

At the critical moment, Ye Ling raised his knife and chopped off the snake's head before the man could react.

This action, coupled with Jin Rui's shout, alarmed Qi Bingnan and the people guarding outside.

"Who's there? Come out!" Qi Bingnan said loudly, "If you don't come out, don't blame me for being rude."

"Hehe..." Ye Ling laughed and slowly walked out from behind the tree: "Qi Bingnan, do you never rinse your mouth? Your breath is so bad."

"It's you?" Qi Bingnan was surprised.

"Yes, it's us. You didn't expect that, did you? Your bunch of trash are too weak and can't withstand a single blow. What? Mr. Qi plans to do it himself?" Ye Ling said slowly.

"Uncle Qi," Jin Rui said, "We just want to kill Ge Ba. We are not interested in your affairs. Why are you so determined to kill him?"

"Master, don't waste time talking to them. Kill them all and throw them into the tomb. Who knew that Young Master Jin would die here?" a guard said.

"Kill them!" Qi Bingnan ordered immediately.

"Don't know what life and death" Ye Ling took the lead and left no one alive.

Xue Jingchuan and Jin Rui did not just watch the show this time, but also helped. In a moment, Qi Bingnan was the only one left standing.

"You...you guys..." Qi Bingnan never expected that Ye Ling would suddenly appear and interrupt his plans.

Ye Ling approached with a bloody knife in hand: "I told you, I only want to kill Ge Ba, you must see blood."

"Ye Ling" Xue Jingchuan stopped him and said, "Leave him here for now. We'll deal with him after the people in the tomb come out. Jin Rui, find a rope and tie him to the tree."

"Okay." Jin Rui did his work very efficiently.

Ye Ling cut a piece of cloth from the corpse and sat on the stool where Qi Bingnan had just been, wiping his knife leisurely. "I'll wait here today and see what kind of rubbish these bastards can come up with. I'll take the treasure from the tomb later. I'll also capture Ge Ba alive and send him to the government office. He'll get more money."

"Master, the treasure in the tomb is ill-gotten gains and cannot be taken. It must be sent to the government for record," said Jin Rui.

"If you say one more word, I will sew your mouth shut, throw you out from here, and kill everyone here so that your parents will never find you. Do you believe it?" Ye Ling threatened.

Jin Rui immediately became scared. He had seen how terrifying Ye Ling was. He didn't dare to say anything and looked at Xue Jingchuan pleadingly.

Xue Jingchuan spread his hands and said, "I can't beat him. I can't do anything."

The scene became quiet. Several living people were standing at the entrance of an ancient tomb, guarding the corpses scattered all over the ground, waiting silently.

After an unknown amount of time, as daybreak approached, a noise spread from the tomb entrance. A moment later, two people emerged alive: Ge Ba and Qi Bingnan's personal guard. Ge Ba was carrying a large bag, while the guard only had a small box.

"Hey! Fat meat, we harvested a lot this time!" Ye Ling asked with a smile.

"It's you. Where is my master?" The guard finally saw the scene clearly.

"Don't worry about me, take the things and leave," Qi Bingnan shouted.

"master"

"You little bastard, you're looking for death!" Ge Ba threw down the package and rushed over.

Ye Ling immediately drew her sword. This time she would not give in. The internal energy of the two of them caused the branches and leaves around them to fall into disarray.

At this moment, another masked man came. He killed the guards directly, and then attacked Xue Jingchuan and Jin Rui.

Ye Ling saw that it was impossible to capture the enemy alive, because Xue Jingchuan was obviously no match for the man in black. Jin Rui had been beaten to the point of vomiting blood, and his assistant was too weak. If the situation dragged on, he would be seriously injured. She had no choice but to use her ultimate move on Ge Ba, which was almost a fatal blow.
