Chapter 217: Qixin Sect

The corpse and clothing of the Man in Black vanished instantly, though a piece of black fabric remained.

"What is this?" Qin Ming pinched the fabric and felt as if something had been sewn inside.

A space ring cannot store other spatial items. Since this could not be stored, the only possibility was that this piece of fabric contained a spatial item.

Qin Ming found a small bead. The bead was bone-colored, yet it felt like metal to the touch. Qin Ming probed it with his Mental Energy, and suddenly, a space appeared before him.

Inside were piles of Spirit Stones, a few Medicinal Pills, and some high-grade spirit plants.

Qin Ming paid no attention to these things; he was looking for an item that could identify the Man in Black. Suddenly, he discovered a token and took it out to examine it.

The token was red and had the three large characters 'Qixin Sect' written on it.

"Qixin Sect?" Qin Ming thought for a moment. He had never heard of this Sect, but Elder Qing, who was beside him, changed expression upon seeing those characters.

Qin Ming asked, "Elder Qing, have you heard of this Sect?"

Elder Qing stroked his beard and said with a focused expression:

"This Qixin Sect is a Demonic Sect. How did your Qin Family manage to provoke a Demonic Sect?

Moreover, the Qixin Sect is very far from here. Why would they specifically dispatch a Martial Spirit Elder to come here?"

Qin Ming looked at the token and said bitterly, "I don't care if this Qixin Sect is a Demonic Sect or a Sacred Sect. As long as they dare to target my Qin Family, I will make them a Dead Sect.

Tell me, what is the true strength of this Sect?"

"According to my understanding, the Sect Master of the Qixin Sect has the strength of a Martial King, and his strength is quite formidable even among Martial Kings.

There are twelve Grand Elders, each of whom is quite sinister, and their strength has all reached the Martial Spirit realm.

Now that you have killed one of their Sect's Elders, they only have eleven Elders left. I have heard that the Elders of the Qixin Sect are not united, so the other Elders will likely not come to avenge this one."

Qin Ming closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then asked, "What is this Sect's reputation and style of doing things?"

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

Elder Qing said, "This Sect has a very high prestige and is quite famous. Most Experts avoid this Sect, and they act without any scruples."

"Then this Sect will definitely retaliate against our Qin Family!" Qin Ming stated firmly.

"Why do you say that?" Elder Qing asked, puzzled.

"Firstly, I killed their Elder, which damages their prestige. Given their way of doing things, even if they are not united, they certainly won't let this go.

If they want to retaliate against our Qin Family, they likely won't send just an Elder; it is more probable that the Sect Master will bring Disciples here personally."

Qin Ming continued, "Secondly, and most importantly, our Qin Family has not been destroyed, so how could they possibly give up!"

"Destroy the Qin Family? Why must they destroy the Qin Family? Could it be that the Qin Family has something they absolutely must obtain?

Moreover, even if they wanted to obtain something, they could just sneak attack or use coercion. There is no need to destroy the Qin Family!" Elder Qing asked, puzzled.

The Qin Family and this Demonic Sect are completely unequal in status. If it weren't for Qin Ming, a single Martial Spirit Expert could destroy a hundred Qin Families.

"I don't know. I don't know why they are determined to destroy the Qin Family. This is also something I have been investigating. I believe that as long as I find out the reason, I will be able to know their true identity.

They are just like rats, only knowing how to hide!" Qin Ming said indignantly.

"You don't know why they are targeting the Qin Family either?" Elder Qing asked, astonished.

Given Qin Ming's status in the Qin Family, nothing should be hidden from him, so why doesn't Qin Ming know?
