The crowd looked at each other, not knowing who the person who suddenly appeared was. The women beside Ye Ling had a happy expression on their faces, as if they had seen their savior. Only Ye Ling had a complicated expression on her face.

At this point, Qian Ziming yelled at Shi Ling, "Bastard, how dare you sneak attack me!"

This time, Qian Ziming was able to see it clearly. The stone shot towards him, but its speed was too fast, it was so fast that even with his initial Body Tempering stage strength, he was unable to dodge it.

However, no matter what, he was the son of the Hall Master of the Spirit Sword Sect's Artifact Forging Hall, so he could remain calm at a crucial moment. After confirming that he was unable to dodge, he immediately released a layer of protective mana and a shield flew out from his storage ring, blocking in front of him.

However, what Qian Ziming couldn't believe was that the stone was like a thousand-year lethal weapon. It instantly pierced through his shield, then pierced through his protective mana, and finally flew past his left ear.

In the center, there was a large hole left. At this moment, Qian Ziming's eyes were wide open; he could feel that the stone that had shot towards him earlier was emitting sword energy.

With a grim expression, Qian Ziming looked at Shi Ling and whispered, "First Sky of Heaven's Sword Qi!"

It was hard to imagine that this young man had actually comprehended the will of the way of the sword at such a young age, and had even reached the first heaven of the sword qi realm. One must know that with such talent, he was already on par with the few evildoers in the outer sect Mountain and River List and even the inner sect Heaven Ranking.

Could it be that Shi Ling was the illegitimate son of some important figure in the sect?

At this moment, Qian Ziming glanced at the tree behind him, and a drop of sweat appeared on his forehead. If Shi Ling had wanted to kill him earlier, he would have already lost his life. Immediately, he looked at Shi Ling with reverence in his eyes.

As long as you were strong, everyone would ignore your birth and background. They would show reverence towards you, because as long as you were strong, everything was fleeting.

At that moment, Qian Ziming clasped his fists towards Shi Ling and said, "I am the son of the hall master of the Artifact Forging Hall, Qian Ziming. May I ask what your name is?"

This could be considered introducing myself, and the goal was simple. He indirectly told Shi Ling, "I have a background, so what can you do even if you're strong?" I'll make you look bad, and I'll kill you just the same.

At this moment, Shi Ling chuckled softly and said, "He's just a nobody. How could he dare call the young master of the Artifact Forging Hall a brother?"

When he saw that they were all injured, he immediately took out some healing pills from his storage ring and handed them over to the girls. After which, he took out a Star Origin Fruit and handed it to Ye Ling. However, at this moment, the little girl had a temper and directly turned her head to the side, looking like an old lady who did not need your charity.

As for the other female students, they directly accepted Shi Ling's good intentions. After all, in the secret realm, all of the supplies were extremely scarce, and if they did not need to use their own things, it was naturally the best.

Seeing this scene, Qian Ziming understood that Shi Ling and Ye Ling should know each other. Otherwise, Shi Ling wouldn't have gone up against a dozen of them just for the sake of the girls.

As he looked at Shi Ling, Qian Ziming wondered if he was an expert secretly groomed by the East Flower Lineage. If he was, it would be troublesome if he were to meet him.

At this point, Qian Ziming stepped forward and repeated what he had said, "I wonder what your name is?"

Qian Ziming wasn't sure. He really wanted to know what was Shi Ling's identity, but Shi Ling ignored him. He turned to the girls beside him and said, "Do you guys have a promotion declaration?"

The girls nodded their heads. Shi Ling smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Then let's go to the temple to replenish our energy."

After exchanging glances with each other, the girls all turned to look at Ye Ling. After all, in such matters, Ye Ling was the one who would decide. At this moment, Ye Ling said, "Let's go!"

This was considered to be an agreement. The girls then looked gratefully at Shi Ling. Shi Ling didn't seem to mind this at all. They then carried the injured Ye Ling towards the temple.

Before leaving, however, Ye Ling suddenly turned to Shi Ling and said, "Before you come out, it would be best if you didn't die at their hands. Because, I still want to avenge myself!"

The people on Qian Ziming's side did not stop him. The key was that if Qian Ziming did not say anything, they would not dare to go against the people from the Dong Hua family. However, at this moment, Qian Ziming was staring at Shi Ling with a bewildered expression on his face.

At this moment, Shi Ling looked towards Qian Ziming and calmly said, "My surname is' Shi ', and my name is' Ling '. The word' Heaven of Desire 'is yours to call me' Shitian '!"

When these words were spoken, quite a few of the disciples had a look of realization on their faces. They pointed at Shi Ling and said, "He's the Shi Ling who was crippled by Senior Brother Guang Haoran in one move and demoted by the sect as a servant two years ago!"

In the next moment, everyone thought back to what had happened, because many of those present were the senior disciples of the sect. Most of them had lived in the sect for two to three years, so they naturally knew of Shi Ling's past.

When Qian Ziming heard about Shi Ling's true identity, he was momentarily stunned. Then, his face turned dark, as if he had just eaten a fly.

This kind of person, and he actually called him senior brother just now. He actually felt fear towards him in his heart. If this were to spread out, then where would he, the young master of the Artifact Forging Hall, put his face? Thinking of this, Qian Ziming took a deep breath, took out a Star Origin Fruit and took a bite, recovering the pain in his lower body, then waved to the people behind him, saying, "Cut his head, 50 high grade spirit pearls, 30 White Spirit Dans, 20 Star Origin Fruits!"

Immediately, a fervent expression appeared on everyone's faces. When they looked at Shi Ling, it was as though they had seen a great treasure.

Shi Ling smiled and pulled out the black wooden sword from his back. He also wanted to test how much his strength would increase after he reached the first layer of the Sword Qi.

He whispered, "Come on."

Behind him, there was also a white-clothed youth. Both of these people had the strength of the early stage of Body Tempering Stage, and they also had powerful magic tools supporting them. If he fought with them, it would be far more difficult than fighting with the early stage Body Tempering Stage martial artists like Zhang Yuquan.

However, Shi Ling's expression was calm. He immediately released his sword aura, and just as he was about to clash head-on with the white-robed youth, the Mysterious Wood Sword swung down, colliding with the white longsword with a 'ding' sound.

In the next moment, the white-clothed youth was suddenly sent flying and the longsword in his hand flew out of his grasp. In the next moment, the white-clothed youth was suddenly sent flying and the longsword in his hand flew out of his hand.

While facing Qian Ziming's lightning-fast slash, the Mysterious Wood Sword in Shi Ling's hand was completely blocked. However, what shocked Shi Ling was that when the opponent's sword clashed with his own Mysterious Wood Sword, the opponent's sword was actually able to absorb and use his own Mysterious Wood Sword.

Cold sweat rolled down Shi Ling's forehead as he watched. He thought to himself, The Weapon Refining Hall's young master's sword is indeed extraordinary. Seeing it for the first time today has really broadened his horizons.

At the same time, a group of people had surrounded Shi Ling, including four disciples from the east, west, south, and north. Four of them simultaneously took out four steel rods the size of water buckets from their storage rings and inserted them into the ground, after which the four disciples quickly poured their Fa Li into them. At the same time, the Spirit Accumulation Realm disciples around them all had their shoulders shoulder to shoulder, causing the Fa Li on their bodies to be transmitted to each other.

At this moment, Shi Ling could clearly feel that the mana in his body had been suppressed by an invisible force. Afterwards, the white-clothed youth who had been sent flying back by him had a longsword in his hand as he charged into this great formation with Qian Ziming to deal with Shi Ling.

At this moment, Shi Ling could clearly feel that the energy within his body was being suppressed at an alarming rate, while the other two were not affected in the slightest.

In the following time, Shi Ling was pushed back repeatedly by their attacks. At the same time, Shi Ling could also see countless small swords appearing around the great formation and flying towards him.

At the same time, he also had to deal with the small swords that were flying towards him. In such a situation, even if he had to deal with a few weaker advanced Body Tempering stage experts, he would still be able to fight back. The strength of the thirteen people in front of him was countless times stronger than the hundreds of people that Zhang Yushui had gathered.

After being pushed back by Qian Ziming's sword, the corners of Shi Ling's mouth curled up as he whispered, "Ying Hua Tong, open!"

In an instant, a pair of blooming, blue eyes appeared in front of Shi Ling's eyes. Then, Shi Ling's aura rose bit by bit as a surging fighting spirit emerged from his body. Shi Ling looked at the two approaching him. Immediately, the Mysterious Wood Sword in his hand horizontally horizontally in front of him before releasing a shocking sword aura.

Swish! As Shi Ling slashed out, a cold smile appeared on Qian Ziming's face. Shi Lingming knew that his swords could absorb his sword Qis, yet he was still releasing such a powerful sword Qi. Wasn't this just courting death?

However, in the next moment, he was unable to laugh, because, when his two swords crossed each other to block in front of him, the Mystic Wood Sword actually split his two swords in half in an instant, and at the same time, a powerful Sword Qi slashed down along with one of his arms.

Qian Ziming let out a painful howl, and as he retreated backwards, a large amount of blood flew out from his wound.

At the same time, Shi Ling swung his Mysterious Wood Sword at the young man in white, and the man in white did not even have the time to react. At the same time, Shi Ling's Mysterious Wood Sword swung at the young man in white, and the man in white did not have the time to react, because everything happened too quickly.

By the time he reacted, it was already too late. The black wooden sword in Shi Ling's hand swung towards him, and with a soft 'pu' sound, a head flew out, spraying out large amounts of fresh blood.

After which, Shi Ling raised the black wooden sword above his head and whispered, "Afterimage Killing Technique!"

At first, when Shi Ling had yet to reach the first layer of the Heaven's Sword Qi, he was able to use the Shadow Slaughter to deal with the four-hundred-year-old wolf demon. Now that he had reached the first layer of the Heaven's Sword Qi, he was able to deal with the formation created by the Spirit Accumulation Realm cultivators with ease.

When Shi Lingxuan's wooden sword swung down from the sky, a five-meter-wide stream of light shot towards the steel pestles. The countless small swords that had gathered in the surroundings had no ability to resist as they were instantly chopped to pieces.

Boom! The moment the Half Moon Flowing Light made contact with the metal pestles, it broke through the layer of yellow light and split the people outside into two.

It wasn't because Shi Ling was bloodthirsty, but because he would never show mercy to those who wanted to kill him, because being merciful to the enemy was akin to being cruel to oneself.

At the same time that the formation was instantly broken, Qian Ziming shouted to everyone, "Let's go!"

After which, the sect disciples that weren't injured by Shi Ling's sword qi all fled. When Shi Ling saw this, he didn't stop them and just allowed them to leave.

Slowly, a feeling of powerlessness surfaced in his body. Although every time he used the Ying Hua Tong to stimulate Shi Ling's fighting instincts, he would be able to cause Shi Ling's strength to increase tremendously in a short period of time, but the feeling of powerlessness that he felt after a battle truly made him feel helpless.

Shi Ling immediately sat down and watched as those people left. He stabbed the Mysterious Wood Sword into the ground beside him. He immediately wanted to retrieve the Blue Wind Imperial Stone and White Spirit Pill to recover his strength as well as his mana.

Yet at this moment, a powerful presence erupted forth from the temple in front of him. Shi Ling looked over, and his pupils shrank. He could tell who the owner of that presence was.

Immediately, he muttered, "Ye Ling's strength has broken through to the large success stage of the Body Tempering stage!"
