Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"You bastard, go ahead and kill me if you dare," the woman said defiantly.

They were certain that the people from the Yun Sect wouldn't dare to kill anyone here; the fighting was still within a controllable range, but if someone were killed, it would be a serious matter.

Qin Yi told them that if they had a conflict with other cultivators, they should never kill anyone. As long as they didn't kill anyone, the Yun Sect could still handle it.

"Hmph! You're pretty stubborn, don't want to hand it over, huh? Then I'll break all four of your limbs and crush your bones one by one. Let's see if your bones are tougher than your mouth." Lin Aoxue said, grabbing the woman's other hand and twisting it forcefully.

"Ah... Deputy Hall Master, help me, help me..." Another shrill scream rang out.

The woman screamed repeatedly, crying for help.

At this moment, their deputy hall master was being easily suppressed by Murong Huan. Their deputy hall master was only half a step into the fourth level, but unfortunately, he was not good enough against Murong Huan.

These guys originally thought that with their superior numbers, the Yun Sect members would back down. But who knew that these people were not afraid of them at all? As soon as Tantai Mingyue and the others arrived, they immediately started fighting. One hundred against one thousand, they actually gained the upper hand.

It can only be said that the other side has more people, but they are mostly not top-tier, while the hundred people from Yunzong are all elites among elites.

"Damn it, who are you people? Mere outsiders, how dare you oppose my Zhaixing Hall? Quickly tell that woman over there to release my people, or else you'll face the consequences!" The deputy hall master of Zhaixing Hall, who was fighting with Murong Huan, said anxiously.

"Hmph! Once she returns the items to my junior sister, I'll naturally release her. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving. Even if the people from the Tianyi City Enforcement Hall come, it won't do you any good," Murong Huan said coldly.

In any case, Yunzong is a direct subordinate force of Taishang Ganyingjiao. To put it bluntly, Yunzong disciples are outer disciples of Taishang Ganyingjiao, so how could they possibly be afraid of them?

The deputy head of the Star-Picking Hall glanced around at the situation. Although they outnumbered each other, they were no match for Jiang Yan and his group.

"Damn it, who are these people? How dare they attack me directly? Judging from their cultivation levels, apart from that little wench, the weakest among them is at the Nascent Soul stage of the Dao Palace. And this guy in front of me is even at the half-step Four Extremes stage, stronger than me. Could they be disciples of a major sect? Oh no, they must be. They're not afraid of the Tianyi City Enforcement Hall." This guy wasn't an idiot, and he quickly figured it out.

It's too late to retreat now; they've already started a brawl in public, surrounded by onlookers, and there's nowhere to run.

"Hey? People from the Yun Sect, isn't that Murong Huan from the Yun Sect? Why are they fighting with someone?" A group of Dao Sect disciples happened to be there, so they came over to take a look, and then they realized that they were familiar faces.

"Um, senior brother, should we just watch or help?" The Dao Sect disciple was conflicted.

"Nonsense, didn't you hear what the elders said? We four sects are here at the Southern Ridge Gathering. We can fight amongst ourselves during the competition, but we will stand united against outsiders. After all, we four are the representatives of the Supreme Response Sect in the Southern Region. How can we be bullied? Notify the others to come and help." The leading disciple of the Dao Sect said, then called on the others and rushed forward.

Once the leaders went up, the others had no choice but to follow suit. At that moment, they didn't care about breaking the rules.

This is a series of entanglements, because once they make a move, the four affiliated forces certainly can't just stand by and watch.

"Hey? It's the senior brothers from the upper sect. Brothers, let's go!"

In no time, more and more people joined the melee, and reinforcements from the Star-Picking Hall also kept coming. At this point, the fighting was definitely not going to stop.

The people from Tianyi City's Law Enforcement Hall have also arrived, but seeing such a large-scale battle, what can these dozen or so people do?

"What? What the hell is going on? All of you, stop!" A disciple from the Enforcement Hall stepped forward and shouted angrily, trying to stop the crowd.

Unfortunately, with their limited cultivation levels, these few people are more likely to be matched by a few cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

Ye Liuyun arrived shortly afterward, but the scene was far too exaggerated.

"What? How come there are so many people? Is this a gang fight?" Ye Liuyun looked at Chang Mai Ni in front of him, his lips twitching.

However, she didn't care about these people. She dodged the cultivators and came to Lin Aoxue's side.

"Aoxue, how did it go? Did you get the things back?" Ye Liuyun asked hurriedly as he came over.

When Lin Aoxue saw Ye Liuyun return, she immediately shook her head.

"Hey! No, you went to arrest someone else, didn't you? Did you catch them?"

Ye Liuyun chuckled, waved her hand, and tossed the woman she had knocked unconscious aside.

The female thief, who was crying bitterly after her hands were twisted off, knew she was doomed when she saw her companion being brought back as well.

"Damn it, who are these people? Who are they?" The woman was completely baffled by the situation.

They rarely make mistakes when they do things. Actually, the main reason is that they want to steal Ye Liuyun's ring. If they only wanted to steal Lin Aoxue's, Ye Liuyun might not have found out.

"This woman hasn't returned your things yet? Why is she being so stubborn?" Ye Liuyun asked suspiciously.

Lin Aoxue nodded somewhat irritably.

“Good, you’ve come at the right time. Give me a Truth Pill and make her talk. I’ve already broken all four of this woman’s limbs, and she still won’t talk,” Lin Aoxue gestured.

Ye Liuyun glanced at the woman lying on the ground unable to move, immediately took out a pill, stuffed it into the woman's mouth, and forced her to swallow it.

"Ugh... Damn it, what did you give me to eat?" The woman's face changed drastically; she thought it was poison.

"Hmph! Good stuff, but I'm asking you, where's my stuff?" Lin Aoxue asked.

There's no way this woman would tell. They have a rule in the Star-Picking Hall: if you're caught stealing, you can't admit it, even if it means death. If you do, it'll be worse than death.

"I am hidden in my Dao Palace." The woman didn't want to speak, but for some reason, she blurted it out involuntarily.

She was dumbfounded after she finished speaking, staring at Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue in astonishment. She didn't understand why she had said it.

“Oh, hidden inside the Dao Palace, that’s interesting. No wonder we couldn’t find it. So how do we open your Dao Palace?” Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun exchanged a glance and then asked.

The woman wanted to say, "Why should I tell you?" but unfortunately, her mouth wouldn't stop.

“Only my Star-Picking Hall’s special secret method can open the Dao Palace. Otherwise, even if you kill me, the things in the Dao Palace will automatically fall out,” the woman replied.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue's expressions gradually turned gloomy.

"What did you do to me? Why couldn't I control my mouth? Oh, it was that pill from earlier, you bastard." The woman finally understood what had happened.

Upon hearing this, Lin Aoxue immediately grabbed the woman by the neck and lifted her up without saying a word.

"Since you're unwilling to hand it over, and since the only way to get my things back is by killing you, then go ahead and die," Lin Aoxue said coldly.

"Hey? Aoxue, Aoxue, calm down. Hey, we already know your secret, aren't you going to hand it over? We can kill you and still get the stuff back, why are you stubbornly holding on?" Ye Liuyun quickly said to the woman.

This woman isn't stupid. If the other party didn't know her secret, it would be fine, but now that they do, there's no point in continuing to resist.

"I...I'll pay," the woman said with difficulty. Then, with a thought, she opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue. Lin Aoxue's storage ring was placed on her tongue.

"Huh... they really know how to hide things." Ye Liuyun felt a chill.

Lin Aoxue took back her storage ring and checked it immediately to make sure nothing was missing before letting the woman go.

"Alright, the item is back. Liu Yun, go and deal with their accomplices," Lin Aoxue said.

After she finished speaking, she and Ye Liuyun went to attack the people from the Star-Picking Hall. Of course, to avoid accidental injury, they specifically targeted the people attacked by the Cloud Sect cultivators.

The news quickly reached Qin Yi and the others, who were chatting and laughing with the leaders of the other three companies.

"What? Murong Huan and his group clashed with the local cultivators of Tianyi City? What happened?" Qin Yi suddenly stood up, looking coldly at the communication magic item in her hand.

"Yes, Elder, there are so many of them, and their numbers are increasing. We're only managing to hold them off thanks to our superior overall strength and the help of some fellow sect cultivators." A Yun Sect disciple was communicating with Qin Yi via a device on the other side of the battlefield.

The leaders of the other three families, seeing Qin Yi's sudden gloomy expression, immediately stood up and asked.

"What's wrong, Fellow Daoist Qin?" the Sword Sect elder asked.

Qin Yi quickly explained the situation.

"What? They're fighting with the local cultivators of Tianyi City? The other side has over a thousand people? Heh, these local cultivators are pretty arrogant. I'll immediately send my Sword Sect disciples to help them," said the Sword Sect elder.

Qin Yi nodded.

The elders of the other two families immediately showed their displeasure and contacted their disciples to ask for help.

They also contacted their subordinate sects and asked them to come and help.

In a short time, people from various parties rushed to the scene, and the people from Yunxia Sect also arrived soon. They saw Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun in the crowd.

"Aoxue, damn it, everyone attack!" Yun Yun first saw her disciple, then saw some familiar faces; she was sure she knew some of the Yun Sect disciples.

"Hey? You guys, you've gone too far! What do you think this place is? Stop right now! I order you to stop!" The enforcement disciple grew increasingly furious as more and more people joined the fight; he had already called for reinforcements.

But there are so many people, more than all the people in their Enforcement Hall combined.

"Screw you, you're making so much noise! ​​What are you yelling about? Get down here!" As the enforcement disciple was shouting, a figure suddenly appeared behind him and kicked him away.

The ones who made the move were disciples from the Dao Sect who arrived later. They assumed these shouting guys were also the other side's accomplices, since they didn't recognize them.

They met the disciples of the four major sects on the day they arrived, so they generally recognized each other as their own people.

This is also to prevent accidental injuries during the competition.

"Who are you people? How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am?" he said, furious, as he stood before the law enforcement disciple who had been beaten and sent flying.

It's unbelievable that someone would dare to beat up their law enforcement disciples inside the city.

"I don't care who you are. If you dare to bully people from my four major sects, you'll get a beating." The Dao Sect disciple appeared beside him in an instant and kicked him away.

The other disciples who enforced the law were naturally furious and wanted to come to the rescue, but unfortunately, as soon as they made a move, someone immediately attacked them. They didn't even have time to take out their magic weapons for capturing people before they were beaten up.

"What... what's going on? I've never seen such a large-scale battle in Tianyi City before. Which forces are fighting against which forces?" Many cultivators around were confused.

"I know that guy. He's from the Star-Picking Hall in the West City. A bunch of damned pickpockets. I reckon they must have stolen something from a tough nut to crack," a local cultivator guessed.

The mere mention of the Star-Picking Hall caused few of the local cultivators present to have a pleasant expression. They were a group of petty thieves who made a living by stealing money from other cultivators, and nobody liked them.

However, even if you know they stole it, if they aren't caught immediately, then unfortunately, your things will be completely lost to you.

Even if the Enforcement Hall finds them, what can you do if they can't find anything and have no evidence?

As the number of people from the four major sects increased, the number of people in the Star-Picking Hall gradually lost its numerical advantage.

"Haha, thank you for your help, Brother Daoyan. Let's take care of these guys quickly." Murong Huan said gratefully after seeing the cultivators from the other four major sects.

"I think this matter has escalated. Let's put everything else aside for now and take down all these people first. As for why they fought, I believe Brother Murong and your group must have a legitimate reason," said Dao Yan, the eldest disciple of the Dao Sect, with a smile.

Under the counterattack of the four major sects and their subordinate sects, the more than two thousand people of the Star-Picking Hall quickly collapsed, and even the deputy hall master was imprisoned in place by Dao Yan's magic.

The main force of the Enforcement Hall consisted of only a hundred or so people, which was a small number compared to the thousand-person melee before them.

But then the cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm arrived.

"What? Stop it, all of you!"

This sound, filled with the oppressive aura of a cultivator from the Four Extremes Mystic Realm, caused everyone's blood and qi to surge, forcing them to stop fighting. But it didn't matter, since most of the people from the Star Picking Hall had already collapsed.

"Experts from the Four Extremes Secret Realm? It seems the experts from the City's Enforcement Hall have arrived," Murong Huan and the others said casually.

"Everyone, stop and let's see how they handle this," Murong Huan said to Ji Chunling and the others.

The powerful figures from the other three major sects also hurriedly called on their fellow disciples to stop fighting.

"Who is the leader? Come forward and answer," the powerful figure from the Four Extremes Secret Realm asked in a deep voice.

Murong Huan exchanged a glance with the other three powerful figures, then stepped forward.

"Yun Zong, Murong Huan greets Senior."

"Dao Gong, Dao Yan, greets senior."

"Hanxiang from the Flower Sect greets Senior."

"Sword Sect, Nie Qingwu greets Senior."

As the senior disciples of the four major sects introduced themselves, the expressions of the enforcement team members changed, and those from the Star-Picking Hall even showed fear and apprehension.

The cultivators of the Northern Region may not know about the other sects in the Southern Region, but they certainly know about the four branch sects of the Supreme Response Sect in the Southern Region.

"Oh, so it's four junior disciples. What's going on here?" The four powerful experts from the Four Extremes Secret Realm who had rushed over immediately became polite and friendly.

Although the four major sects are not sects of the Northern Region, they are still forces under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Response Sect, and are therefore considered to be from the same sect.

Murong Huan quickly stepped forward and explained the matter in detail.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Hmph! Star-Picking Hall, it's you again. Men, arrest them all and take them back to the Enforcement Hall. Let their hall master come and give me a reasonable explanation. Oh, by the way, my four junior disciples, let's be official. Please take your men and come back with us as well. And while you're at it, arrest these guys too." The expert from the Four Extremes Secret Realm gestured.

Since things had come to this point, everyone naturally cooperated, since they had indeed broken the rules. However, the Taishang Ganying Sect certainly couldn't really lock everyone up.

"Get up and come with us." Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun each grabbed the female pickpocket, and the other disciples also grabbed the people from the Zhaixing Hall. In this way, nearly 2000 people from the Zhaixing Hall were all captured.

Most of the people from the Star-Picking Hall were beaten to a pulp; only a few were still able to move.

"After they all left, the passersby finally understood what had happened."

"They're actually from the four major sects of the Southern Region. No wonder they dared to fight this group directly. The people from the Star Picking Hall deserve it. If you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your feet wet eventually. Hopefully, this time we'll have evidence and wipe them all out." Some cultivators who had been harmed by the Star Picking Hall disciples said angrily.

“It’s not that easy. Zhaixing Hall has a way of stealing things from others without them even realizing it. After they take them, they dispose of them as quickly as possible. By the time you realize what happened, even if you know who took them, it’s too late,” another person said.

A moment later, in the Law Enforcement Hall of Tianyi City, people from the four major sects were sitting in a large hall, while all the people from the Star Picking Hall had been taken in for questioning.

Not long after, Qin Yi and the others arrived. Upon arrival, they saw their own disciples and cultivators from their subordinate sects all there, each with an indescribable air of anger on their faces.

Of course, I'm not angry with them.

"Elder Qin," Yun Yun and the others greeted him awkwardly.

"Yes, Sect Master Yun, thank you for your hard work. Who is in charge of the Enforcement Hall? Come out and see me." Qin Yi used her peak Four Extremes Secret Realm power to transmit her voice into the room.

Soon, several cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm of the Enforcement Hall came out.
