secret

"Come out!" the Red-Browed Elder shouted.

Immediately, one figure after another flew out from the distance; they passed through the Formation and stood beside the Red-Browed Elder.

Qin Ming looked at the figures that appeared, his face turning deathly pale.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, especially seeing Qin Ming's pale complexion, the Red-Browed Martial Venerable laughed wildly: "Hahaha… Qin Ming, you didn't expect that we would have already set up an ambush here, just waiting for you to arrive."

"I will let you know what it means to be wrong at every step once you make one mistake. We were originally discussing how to lure you out, but we didn't expect you to deliver yourself to our doorstep."

"You… you had an ambush set up long ago?" Qin Ming pointed at these people, his trembling voice filled with disbelief.

"Qin Ming, there are seven of us here, and we have a Formation; you cannot escape, so you had better surrender obediently." A White-Bearded Elder spoke. Qin Ming had learned about this man in his intelligence reports; he was a Martial Venerable of the Pill Alliance.

The others were Venerables from the Five Great Families of Yan City, among whom Old Ancestor Yang and Old Ancestor You were prominently included. They exchanged a subtle glance with Qin Ming, and both sides understood.

Qin Ming looked at the several Martial Venerables with a face full of expectation, pleading: "If I surrender, can you not kill me?"

"As long as you tell us the secret you carry and satisfy us, perhaps we will let you go." A Middle-aged Man who was a Martial Artist holding a long staff said with a grin.

According to the intelligence, this Middle-aged Man was the Old Ancestor of the Jin Family in Yan City; he looked honest, but in reality, he was full of malice.

"That's right, tell us the secret!" The other Martial Venerables also shouted loudly; they were all very curious about how Qin Ming had become a Martial Venerable at such a young age.

Moreover, Qin Ming's Alchemy skills were peerless, and they also wanted to investigate that.

If it was because of some treasure, they would have hit the jackpot.

"I'll tell, I'll tell." Qin Ming pretended to be very afraid and kept retreating.

The White-Bearded Elder of the Pill Alliance saw Qin Ming retreating and, fearing he would run away, immediately went behind Qin Ming and looked at him with a smile.

Qin Ming retreated slightly, getting closer to the White-Bearded Martial Venerable.

"My secret is very simple, and that is… Kill!"

Qin Ming's gaze sharpened; there was no trace of the timidity from just a moment ago, only boundless Killing Intent.

"Ah!" Just as Qin Ming's voice fell, two screams suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked over and saw that Old Ancestor You and Old Ancestor Yang had somehow already maneuvered behind the group.

Among them, Old Ancestor Yang, holding a long sword, had already pierced the heart of the Pill Alliance's Red-Browed Elder with a single strike.

Old Ancestor You was also holding a thin blade, having pierced the Jin Family Old Ancestor, that blade-wielding Middle-aged Man.

Just now, while taking advantage of Qin Ming revealing the secret and everyone's attention being drawn to him, the two of them caught them off guard and struck directly.

They had originally surrounded Qin Ming, and with the Formation in place, Qin Ming was like a turtle in a jar; everything seemed foolproof, so they could not help but lower their guard.

They never expected that, despite all their calculations, they would actually die at the hands of their own people.

The moment Qin Ming said "Kill," his hand flicked, and a Medicinal Pill was ejected; he immediately swallowed it.

His Aura immediately surged, his figure flashed, and he appeared beside the White-Bearded Elder of the Pill Alliance, slamming a punch toward the elder's chest.

The two from the Pill Alliance were the planners of this operation and had a deep grudge against Qin Ming, so of course, Qin Ming would kill them first.
