After my Daoist partners broke off their engagement, they pledged their loyalty to me!

Holding the Cloud Edge Sword, Jiang Lin vented his anger fiercely.

Don't talk about indiscriminate killing. Since everyone has entered this ruin, it means they are mentally prepared.

In the fantasy world, when you're out there surviving, the price of losing is often your life!

Amidst the flashing swords, only Zhang Zishuang and two other people with decent figures and appearances remained on the Flying Swallow Sect's side, while Jin Yuan was left alone on the Looking Moon Sect's side.

However, his right hand was severed.

He was also stabbed in the chest, and the blood wouldn't stop flowing.

He collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with terror.

He had just thought Jiang Lin was weak in close combat and that he had a chance to defeat Jiang Lin.

Unexpectedly, he was no match for his opponent, who had cultivated remarkable movement techniques even at the Qi Gathering stage!

"My friend, I was blind..."

"I'm willing to give up everything I own, please spare my life!"

Jin Yuan, a talented disciple of the Wangyue Sect, readily admitted defeat.

Where there is life, there is hope.

Survival is the priority!

Seeing that Jiang Lin didn't seem interested in what he was saying, Jin Yuan knew that he was just talking nonsense and it would be difficult to impress the other party.

He suddenly remembered that among the disciples of their Wangyue Sect who were entering the ruins this time, there was a female disciple whose status was similar to Zhang Zishuang's. That female disciple was also outstanding in both figure and beauty.

He coughed, not caring about anything else. His eyes darted around, and in order to save his life, his mind raced: "If you... if you spare my life, I'm willing to trick you into bringing Su Rou, the outer disciple of our Wangyue Sect, to you. She must have some treasures that you'll be satisfied with!"

Su Rou, the fairy from the outer sect?

Jiang Lin secretly memorized the name.

Then, before Jin Yuan could speak again...

Jiang Lin swiftly and cleanly slashed with his Cloud Edge Sword!

"Well……"

Jin Yuan clutched his neck with his left hand, but couldn't stop the blood from flowing out. His eyes widened, and he fell straight down.

"Damn it, since when did it become your turn to make empty promises to me?"

I don't know if it was intentional or not.

Jiang Lin spoke loudly.

With a single, fatal sword strike, he turned to the remaining two female disciples of the Flying Swallow Sect and used the still-dripping tip of his sword to lift Zhang Zishuang's chin: "Why don't you introduce yourselves?"

These two women didn't hesitate when they made their move, especially Zhang Zishuang. Jiang Lin didn't even know Zhang Zishuang's name, but he disliked her very much.

This is the woman who just took out the Breaking Force Talisman and broke his Gravity Talisman and Dark Water Talisman.

Jiang Lin was using the gravity talisman to interrogate her and gather information, but the woman's use of the talisman enraged him.

Otherwise, he could simply throw out a ground spike talisman, which would be almost impossible for a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator without a second-tier protective talisman to withstand.

"I..." Zhang Zishuang looked at Jiang Lin with some fear, unable to speak. Jiang Lin's methods had just frightened her.

The flowers in the greenhouse were exploring the ruins for the first time, and who knew they would encounter such a ruthless person.

Zhang Zishuang was so frightened she couldn't speak, but the woman next to her suddenly spoke up: "She is Zhang Zishuang, the cousin of Senior Sister Zhang Lengyu of our Flying Swallow Sect. Senior Sister Lengyu is listed on the Northern Prodigy Ranking!"

"Pfft!"

Jiang Lin slashed the woman's neck with his sword.

A look of astonishment flickered in the woman's eyes, before finally fading.

"Not only is she not pretty, but she also has a bad figure. Most importantly, she can't see the situation clearly."

Jiang Lin shook his head speechlessly in his evaluation.

He couldn't even be bothered with the meager chaotic energy emanating from this woman. It seemed that truly satisfying to obtain chaotic energy came from beautiful female cultivators.

"Ding Yuan, Ding Yuan!"

Zhang Zishuang knelt beside Ding Yuan's body and began to cry.

Actually, her relationship with Ding Yuan wasn't that good, but Ding Yuan was with her just now, and now she's all alone.

Unsure of what to do, Zhang Zishuang acted on instinct.

She cried so hard her tears fell like raindrops.

At this moment, she was no longer the arrogant little genius who wanted to teach Jiang Lin a lesson with her companions, but more like a timid kitten afraid of getting into trouble, not daring to look at Jiang Lin.

"You led your men to fight back, but what's the meaning of all this crying? What's the deal with that Northern Prodigy Ranking they mentioned, and your cousin Zhang Lengyu?"

Jiang Lin once again used the blood-stained tip of his sword to lift Zhang Zishuang's chin.

The pitiful Zhang Zishuang pursed her lips, sobbing but still didn't say anything. Jiang Lin gradually lost patience, and the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger.

As Jiang Lin's strength increases, the higher the grade of the items he needs to synthesize, the more chaotic energy he needs to consume.

Therefore, Jiang Lin must find a female cultivator who can provide more chaotic energy.

Although he didn't know what Xu Hongxi's situation was, Xu Hongxi, who had 500 points of chaotic energy above her head, had already been included in Jiang Lin's target list.

Now that he's heard about the Northern Prodigy Ranking, he naturally sets his sights on the female cultivator on that ranking.

Female cultivators with powerful status possess even more chaotic energy!

But Zhang Zishuang kept crying and didn't say anything. Jiang Lin still needed to find a treasure that could improve his cultivation talent, so he didn't have much time to waste on this.

Perhaps it was because it sensed Jiang Lin's chilling killing intent.

Zhang Zishuang sniffed, mustered her courage, and cautiously looked up at Jiang Lin: "You...you're not going to kill me?"

Jiang Lin remained noncommittal, saying calmly, "If you want to live, it depends on whether you have that kind of value."

"Now I'll ask you questions, and you'll answer them. Tell me everything you know."

Jiang Lin naturally couldn't let Zhang Zishuang get away with this counterattack so easily. He first needed to find out what was going on with her cousin, Zhang Lengyu, and then cast a long line to catch a bigger fish.

If the opportunity arises, we should also include Zhang Lengyu, who is on the Northern Prodigy List, in our goal of absorbing chaotic energy.

Hearing that he still had a chance to live.

Hope rose in Zhang Zishuang's heart.

If possible, nobody wants to die.

She nodded repeatedly, wiped her nose, and indicated that she would cooperate with Jiang Lin: "Senior brother, I'm willing to do anything!"

"Anything?"

Jiang Lin smiled as he looked at Zhang Zishuang's graceful figure and then at the 35 points of chaotic energy above her head.

Subsequently, from Zhang Zishuang, Jiang Lin learned what the Northern Prodigy Ranking was and how to be recorded on it.

The Misty Holy Land, the Looking-at-Mountain Sect, and the Flying Swallow Sect are all sects and forces in the northern region of the Eastern Xuan Domain.

There are many sectarian factions in the northern region.

Being a sufficiently outstanding young disciple under the age of thirty within a sect is a prerequisite for being recorded on the Northern Prodigy Ranking.

How exactly to record it depends on the actual results!

Challenging opponents of higher levels and defeating stronger opponents are the standards for judging actual combat performance. Only young disciples who can be listed on the list of prodigies can be called the chosen ones of heaven.

The Northern Prodigy Ranking has a total of ninety-nine places.

Zhang Lengyu ranked ninety-sixth.

Although the ranking is low, it is an achievement that was made among tens of thousands of young disciples in the entire northern region.

The organization responsible for recording and publishing the Northern Prodigy Ranking is the Prodigy Pavilion, which is spread throughout the entire Eastern Xuan Region!

That's one way to put it.

Zhang Lengyu has all the talent, strength, and status. Such a beautiful female lead must have a lot of chaotic energy, right?

Jiang Lin was itching to make a move. As for how to get involved with Zhang Lengyu later, he might have to start with this cousin whom she doted on.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lin looked at Zhang Zishuang, who was still sitting on the ground.

He smiled and asked, "You just said you'd do anything, right?"

As he spoke, Jiang Lin picked up Zhang Zishuang's long whip.

He tugged hard, and the whip cracked in his hand.

"I have no other demands. You used to be the one whipping others, but today you've fallen into my hands. Now it's your turn to enjoy this long whip!"
