After her senior sister was reborn, she actually became a powerful and arrogant protagonist?!

"Qiu Lin, if I were you, I would either become the emperor..."

The Tie family envoy looked at Qiu Lin with disdain, while Pei Lun, who was standing to the side, stiffened slightly upon hearing this.

"Either go back up the mountain and continue your search for immortality."

On the other side, Xiao Lin stood on the outermost edge of the crowd, constantly gathering information.

"These people don't have many magical treasures, and their weapons are just average. I can take care of three of them as quickly as possible."

Hearing the voices constantly echoing in her mind, Qiu Lin felt a warmth in her heart.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xiao. However, today's matter is a family affair. Please help me cover for my elder sister and protect her safety."

"There's no need to take action. It would disturb your Daoist mind and give others something to talk about in the future."

Cultivators should not interfere in matters of the mortal world, especially those of major sects, where the rules are even stricter.

As a sect that doesn't interact much with the outside world, the Tianyan Sect has particularly rigid rules in this regard.

If Xiao Lin helps me today, I won't be able to help him when he is punished by the sect in the future.

Qiu Lin gripped the sword talisman in his hand tightly. It was best not to owe this favor unless absolutely necessary.

"...Alright, then I'll cover for you."

Xiao Lin knew that Qiu Lin was thinking of him, so he didn't say anything more.

However, in recent days, Qiu Lin's talent has been recognized by him.

Gu Lin once taught him that it is better to offer help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade.

This is especially true when encountering a monk worth 'investing' in.

If Qiu Lin cannot resolve the current predicament, Xiao Lin will not hesitate to lend a helping hand and provide timely assistance.

"Thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Xiao."

Qiu Lin steadied himself and signaled his guards to escort Qiu Yue back to the main hall.

"I will handle this matter. You all protect His Majesty. If anything happens to His Majesty, you will all be held accountable!"

Qiu Yue looked at Qiu Lin with a worried expression, but she also knew that this was a struggle between immortals, and that they, a group of mortals, would only hold Qiu Lin back.

You must take good care of yourself.

After saying this, Qiuyue followed the many guards back into the main hall.

Only Qiu Lin remained standing in place, confronting the Tie family's envoy.

"Why would you risk your life for a woman?"

The Tie family envoy laughed loudly, his spiritual energy circulating around him, carrying an extremely strong sense of oppression.

"Get out of here now, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite..."

"talkative."

Qiu Lin summoned his longsword, and under the moonlight, the blade gleamed with a chilling light.

Hey.

Spiritual energy was poured into the longsword, and the blade hummed softly.

"Oh, a sword cultivator?"

The Tie family envoy chuckled, clenched his fists, and assumed a fighting stance.

"Today I'll see whether your sword is sharper or my fist is harder."

boom!

With a loud bang, the Tie family envoy shot away like an arrow released from a bow.

The ground was left with a deep crater because of his force.

Pei Lun, who was standing next to him, barely opened his eyes. When he saw the deep pit in the ground, he felt extremely fortunate.

"Fortunately, I sided with the Tie family a long time ago. How can Qiu Lin, a half-baked amateur, fight against a family that has been in business for generations?"

"When Qiu Lin dies, the Qiu Kingdom will have to change its name and surname."

Pei Lun looked up at the main hall in the distance, its gates tightly locked, and the ambition in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.

...........

The door of the main hall.

Qiu Lin and the Tie family envoy were already locked in combat.

Qiu Lin was only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Refining realm, while the Tie family envoy had already broken through to the Void Refining realm.

In terms of cultivation level, the Tie family's envoy could be said to have completely suppressed Qiu Lin.

However, unorthodox methods are still unorthodox methods.

Compared to Qiu Lin, a disciple of the sect personally taught by the sect elders and Chu Luobai, the Tie family envoy's moves were extremely chaotic.

While each move appears to be a deadly strike intended to kill, the actual techniques are extremely disjointed.

Qiu Lincai had only exchanged two blows with the Tie family envoy when he discovered this.

"Even a cultivator at the Mahayana stage couldn't withstand such a drain on spiritual energy."

"How dare you, a mere Void Refinement Realm cultivator?"

The Iron Family Envoy's moves were wide and sweeping, each punch carrying a strong gale that made loud banging sounds in the air.

Qiu Lin fought and retreated, each time skillfully seizing upon the inconsistencies in the Tie family envoy's actions to deliver a fatal blow.

After a fierce battle, the Tie family envoy seemed to have the upper hand, but in reality, he already had several wounds from sword energy.

On the other hand, Qiu Lin, who was at a disadvantage, fought and retreated all the way. Not only did he consume little spiritual energy, but even the hem of his clothes was not torn.

"A hide-and-seek rat, is this what they call a sword cultivator?"

The Tie family envoy quickly realized that something was wrong and stopped in his tracks, making a sarcastic remark.

His left hand gripped his right wrist, his eyes filled with an extremely gloomy expression.

Behind him, an extremely subtle aura attacked Qiu Lin, who narrowly dodged it by sidestepping.

"The attackers are the so-called Tie family?"

Qiu Lin gripped the sword talisman in his hand tightly, looking around warily.

"Or is it that they couldn't win, so they started calling for backup?"

Several powerful auras surrounded Qiu Lin, forming a protective circle.

At the signal of the Tie family envoy, they continued to move closer to Qiu Lin, tightening the encirclement.

In the distance, Xiao Lin frowned, several talismans between his fingertips, ready to make a move at any moment.

"Hmph, I was just playing along with you before."

The Tie family envoy snorted coldly and waved his hand.

"All of you, charge! Today I will extinguish the Qiu family's bloodline here!"

Qiu Lin pursed her lips and slowly channeled the spiritual energy in her body into the sword talisman.

This sword talisman can only be used once, and it can only be most effective when these people are close enough.

Outside the encirclement, the Tie family envoy, seeing Qiu Lin's nervous appearance, smiled even more unrestrainedly.

"What about sword cultivators? What about disciples of major sects?"

This envoy from the Tie family came from an unorthodox background and had always looked down on those self-righteous disciples of major sects.

In addition, during his fight with Qiu Lin just now, every punch felt like hitting cotton.

At this moment, the anger in his chest was surging wildly, and he only wanted to kill Qiu Lin as quickly as possible!

"You're going to die by my hand today anyway!"

"If you're so capable, then call your sect to help you, hahahaha."

The Tie family envoy laughed loudly, and the surrounding Tie family cultivators attacked Qiu Lin.

The force of the punches was mixed with a strong wind, and each punch was aimed at Qiu Lin's vital points.

"do not care."

Hidden in the shadows, Xiao Lin gave a low shout, circulating his spiritual energy, just as he was about to make his move.

Suddenly, an extremely powerful aura swept in from afar, moving at an incredible speed.

Like a shooting star streaking across the sky, it hurtled down rapidly.

"who?!"

The once confident Tie family envoy suddenly felt a tremor run through his body, and a chill inexplicably rose in his heart.

He subconsciously looked behind him, and a ripple suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

Then a moon-white sword aura ripped through the void and crushed towards him!
