Lin Zhangqing ignored his begging, directly knocked him unconscious, and stuffed him back into the spirit beast bracelet.

After thinking for a moment, he released the leader of the robber group, Lu Xinyi.

He didn't expect him to be quite tough. Once he came out, although his spirit was listless, as soon as he changed to a new environment, he immediately gritted his teeth and stared fiercely at Lin Zhangqing, as if he couldn't wait to bite a piece of meat off him.

Seeing him like this, Lin Zhangqing knew he definitely wouldn't cooperate obediently, so he still had to let him sober up, and simply didn't waste his breath.

With a thought, a Purple Crystal Scorpion stung his thigh root with the Great Sun Purple Crystal Needle, near the place of his third leg.

Lu Xinyi let out a scream on the spot that almost pierced the eardrums of Lin Zhangqing and the other, and then his whole body arched in pain, fell heavily to the ground, and began to twitch all over.

Previously, when the Purple Crystal Scorpion stung people, it was usually on the lower leg. Lin Zhangqing hadn't tried stinging other places yet. This time, he used this leader of the robber group to try it out. He didn't expect the effect to be quite good, much more significant than stinging the lower leg before.

After about a quarter of an hour, Lu Xinyi finally came back to his senses, panting heavily, his whole body soaked as if he had been fished out of water.

Lin Zhangqing looked at him and asked coldly, "Do you want to do it again?"

Lu Xinyi shook his head with difficulty and said in a hoarse voice, "Ask, I will say everything."

Lin Zhangqing asked expressionlessly, "First, introduce the few people in your group, and then introduce yourself."

Lu Xinyi knew he definitely wouldn't survive, but he really didn't want to experience that kind of pain again, so he said, "We are all loose cultivators. Robbing you is for spirit stones, for cultivation resources."

Lin Zhangqing interrupted directly, "Lu Xinyi, I asked you to introduce the members of the robber group, not to listen to the reasons for your robbery. If you still want to be stung again, then continue wasting time."

Hearing Lin Zhangqing call his name, Lu Xinyi knew that someone must have already confessed, and he also knew that if he didn't speak, he would definitely suffer a great crime again. He shivered just thinking about it.

He started again: "My younger brother Lu Xin'an is the first cultivator you killed. The strategist Hu Qingqiang is the one who was split into pieces by thunder. These two are already dead, so there is nothing to say.

The alchemist Wang Youzong is the other male cultivator who was captured alive. He has a little reputation among the loose cultivators in Qingyun City.

It's just that he has to cultivate and refine pills. Although the quality of the pills he refines is average, it should be enough to support his own cultivation.

It's a pity that he clearly wanted to try to reach Foundation Establishment before the age of sixty, which is why he followed me and embarked on this path of no return.

I also used his reputation among the loose cultivators to find out which cultivators were wealthy, and then found opportunities to strike. It can be considered each getting what they need.

The remaining female cultivator is named Xu Meiniang. She is a brewer and joined recently. I only know that she sold spirit wine in a market of the Yuling Sect.

It seems that because a Foundation Establishment officer of the Yuling Sect took a fancy to her and her secret recipe for spirit wine, he wanted to take both the person and the secret recipe.

She had no choice but to abandon her foundation on the Yuling Sect side and run to the sphere of influence of the Qingyun Sect, just to avoid that officer of the Yuling Sect.

I saw that her cultivation was not bad, and she had some beauty herself, which made it convenient to inquire about news everywhere and easily approach targets. Moreover, she was full of resentment toward sect cultivators, so I asked her to join.

As for myself, you already know my name. Actually, there is nothing to say. I just took my brother out to rob and earn cultivation resources. I knew that doing this was a life-and-death situation and that I would miss one day, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly."

Lin Zhangqing curled his lips. How could one walk by the river without getting their shoes wet? He continued to ask, "Why do you want to find people who are full of resentment toward sect cultivators?"

Lu Xinyi frowned and explained, "Hu Qingqiang said that we have always been robbing loose cultivators, and the harvest is not very large.

If we want to find someone, we should find one or two inexperienced sect disciples to do a job. In this way, the harvest will naturally be much larger, and doing one job will be enough for everyone to cultivate for a long time.

But not everyone dares to move against sect disciples. After all, sect disciples have roots. If such people die, someone will definitely come to investigate. In this situation, ordinary robber cultivators may not dare to strike at you sect disciples.

So we have to find one or two people who have resentment toward sect cultivators. Plus, you spent thousands of spirit stones casually at the stalls, which is why we chose to strike at you this time."

Lin Zhangqing was frustrated. Spending thousands of spirit stones could cause trouble. He continued to ask, "Is this your first time robbing sect disciples?" Lu Xinyi said dejectedly, "The first time. I didn't expect that the first time, I would run into your iron plate. Our luck is really too bad!"

Hearing him say this, Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya looked at each other and smiled.

However, the two would not pity him. The ending of this leader of the robber group had already been decided in Lin Zhangqing's heart long ago.

Seeing that he had asked enough, Lin Zhangqing knocked him unconscious again, checked the ropes on his body, confirmed there were no problems, and then put him into the spirit beast bracelet.

By the way, Chu Yi is still in the spirit beast bag!

Because he didn't want to attract too much attention at the entrance of the market, he had put Chu Yi into the spirit beast bag at that time. Now he changed it to the space of the spirit beast bracelet, which would be more comfortable for it.

There is also a female captive; let's just deal with her together! He released her from the spirit beast bracelet.

She was also listless, but she was quite attentive to her image. As soon as she was released by Lin Zhangqing, she sat up immediately.

However, Lin Zhangqing would not give a captive a good look. He said expressionlessly, "If you don't want to suffer physical pain, answer whatever I ask. Otherwise, I'll let you taste the feeling of being stung again. Do you understand?"

The young woman knew that life and death were now in the hands of others, and she was terrified. Hearing what Lin Zhangqing said, she answered uneasily, "Un-understand!"

"What is your name? Why did you strike at us?"

The young woman glanced at Lin Zhangqing and answered blankly, "My name is Xu Meiniang! It wasn't me who wanted to strike at you; it was Lu Xinyi and Hu Qingqiang who chose you as the target. I just had no choice but to follow them."

"Nonsense, as a cultivator at the eighth layer of Qi Refining, if you didn't want to, could they force you?"

"It's not like that. Not long after I arrived in Qingyun City, Lu Xinyi found me and invited me to join their hunting team.

At first, I refused, but he later told me that it is difficult for loose cultivators to survive here without holding together.

I felt it made some sense, plus I had been wandering all the way and finally arrived here with difficulty, and the spirit stones on me were almost used up, so I promised him to try it first.

Who knew that their group were all robber cultivators? By the time I discovered it and wanted to leave, I couldn't leave anymore. But I really didn't kill anyone. Both times I just helped clean up some spoils of war.

Please, don't kill me. I can brew wine. I am a brewer and can brew many kinds of wine. I can also brew Green Moon Spirit Wine. It is because of this secret recipe that I was forced to leave the sphere of influence of the Yuling Sect.

Please, spare my life for the sake of me being forced and not having killed anyone. I will do whatever you want. I really don't want to die." After finishing, she begged with tears streaming down her face.

Lin Zhangqing looked at her deeply and then turned to look at Chen Zi Ya, meaning to ask for her opinion. Chen Zi Ya also looked at him, understanding his meaning in her heart.

She thought for a moment and said, "Senior Brother, you caught the person, so you decide. I have no opinion.

However, I think it's okay to spare her life. After all, she hasn't committed any great evil. Keeping her to brew spirit wine for your Lin family is also good!"

"Thank you, thank you Fairy, thank you Fairy!" Xu Meiniang was truly grateful to her when she heard Chen Zi Ya suggest sparing her life.

Afterward, she turned to Lin Zhangqing and begged, "Young Master, please spare my life. I can serve tea, pour water, do chores, and brew wine."

Lin Zhangqing thought for a moment and decided to keep her in the spirit beast bracelet first, and then make a decision after careful consideration.

He didn't say anything else, directly knocked her unconscious, checked the ropes on her body, and after confirming there were no problems, put her into the spirit beast bracelet.

Chen Zi Ya began to recover the array disk of this array, and it was done in a while.
