Within the Ying Yang Mansion, tens of thousands of lanterns were lit, and the soldiers and guards in charge of the mansion were exceptionally refined. In the Ying Yang Mansion, tens of thousands of lanterns were lit, and the soldiers and guards were exceptionally refined.

A purple-garbed young man wearing a jeweled weapon was sitting at the top of the tower with a dark expression on his face. He was holding a treasure sword that had been blown out of its hair.

Below the leader, there was a middle-aged man kneeling on the ground. He was slightly plump and had a sense of majesty. This was the Ying Yang County Magistrate who had judged Lin Qing to be a murderer.

However, at this time, the Ying Yang County Magistrate's face was deathly pale as he looked at the young man sitting on the seat of honor with fear and trepidation. At this time, the Ying Yang County Magistrate's face was deathly pale as he looked at the young man sitting on the seat of honor.

"How's the matter going?" The young man asked as he played with a jade bead in his hand.

"I've already sent Lin Qing to her cell. She will be executed in the autumn. As for the young miss of the Xue Clan …" The magistrate of the Ying Yang County didn't dare to be negligent as he hurriedly replied.

"Trash, if you can't kidnap a girl from a small clan, what use is there for you?" The young man clenched the jade pearl in his hand, and it began to emit a crackling sound as he spoke in anger.

"My lord, please forgive me, my lord, please calm your anger, but in the end, an accident occurred. Originally, everything went smoothly, but in the end, some Daoist priest sent me to kidnap him, and he took away the young miss of the Lin Clan."

"Daoist Priest, which Daoist Priest?" The young man frowned as he coldly glanced at Ying Yang County's magistrate.

"Your subordinate does not know either." The Ying Yang County Magistrate said with fear and trepidation.

The young man's expression became even colder. Inadvertently, the treasured sword at his waist let out a sound of 'Ling', and a faint dragon and phoenix flew out. An awe-inspiring chilliness caused the Ying Yang County magistrate to feel a chill on his forehead.

The Ying Yang County Magistrate was sweating profusely. Although his forehead was empty, he could feel a sharp sword Qi at his neck. With just a slight movement, his head would fall to the ground.

"Mercy, my lord! Although I don't know who that Daoist Priest is, he left behind something before he left!" Seeing that his head was about to be destroyed, the Ying Yang County Magistrate hastily cried out.

The young man's hands seemed to move unconsciously as the icy sword intent left the Ying Yang County Magistrate's neck.

"Take it out." The young man's hand loosened slightly, jade fragments fluttering in the wind. It was extremely beautiful, but the jade bead that the young man held in his hand had been crushed into jade fragments by the young man.

Feeling the cold leave from his neck, the Ying Yang County Magistrate relaxed slightly. Now that the young man said this, he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. He hastily took out an ancient jade token from his chest pocket.

The jade tablet was plain and unpredictable, there was nothing special about it. Other than the palace carved on it being vivid, it also seemed to be an ordinary object.

However, the expression of the young man, who was sitting at the top seat as usual, suddenly changed when he saw this jade tablet. He inadvertently stood up with a look of shock on his face.

"Divine Snail Hall. Three Purities Sect. Why would they appear here?" The young man's face was pale and filled with disbelief.

The Ying Yang County Magistrate who was kneeling down saw the sudden change in the expression of the young man, but he felt relieved in his heart. However, when he thought about how even his master had turned pale in fright.

Thinking of this, the Ying Yang County magistrate couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. As the wind blew past him, he felt a chill down his spine.

"Alright, leave the jade token behind. As for Lin Qing, you should think of a way to let her go." The young man finally regained his composure and calmly looked at the magistrate.

"Yes, Sir." The Ying Yang County Magistrate respectfully replied. He slowly stepped forward and respectfully placed the jade token in front of the young man. After that, he respectfully bowed and left.

Watching the Ying Yang County magistrate leave with cold eyes, the young man couldn't help but sink into deep thought.

"The Divine Snail Sect, the head of the thirty-six sects in the Li Prefecture, why is it related to the Xue Clan?" The young man muttered in a low voice, so low that even he himself could not hear it lightly.

"Black Fiend, check and see what kind of extraordinary person appeared in the ancestors of the Xue Clan!" The young man coldly said.

"Yes, Young Lord." A black shadow appeared without a sound and disappeared, leaving behind a young man who was sitting at the top of a tall tower with a confused look on his face.

The lanterns outside were lit. The young man walked down from the high seat and paced back and forth in the hall.

"I originally thought that I was abducting the daughter of a small family, but I didn't expect that I would attract such a side character. But why haven't I heard of this before?" The young man muttered to himself.

"It's a pity, it's a pity that this kind of woman cannot become my plaything. It's a pity." The young man's expression was dark as he looked at the cloudy sky in the distance.

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, a black shadow had silently approached the young man's back.

"Hei Sha, the Lin Family has thoroughly investigated this matter." The young man in the large hall seemed to have already realized the arrival of the black shadow and spoke in an indifferent manner.

"Your subordinate has already transferred the information of the Lin Family. Their ancestors did not have many talents, and the highest ones were only at the seventh level, far from the top of the elite talented warriors. From all their investigations, they are just a small family under the sun." The Black Fiend was expressionless as he took out a thin piece of paper and respectfully handed it over.

He lowered his head and looked at the dark sky for a while before saying indifferently, "This must have been an accident. Presumably, Lin Xue Xian was saved by a divine disciple travelling here by coincidence. However, the situation is dire, so the Xue Clan should go and apologize."

The Black Demon silently stood behind the young man, speechless, as if it had no life.

"You can leave now. Let me think about it a bit more." The young man waved his hand and said in a low voice.

"Yes, Young Lord." The Black Fiend spoke in a slightly sinister voice. When he turned around, his figure was already nowhere to be seen.

Under the moonlight, the young man whispered a few more words before returning to his room.

At the same time, high up in the sky above Ying Yang County, a magnificent white cloud quietly floated in the sky. The moonlight poured down onto the white cloud, adding to the mysteriousness of the scene.

On top of the white clouds, a white-faced, bewitching Taoist stood with his hands behind his back without saying a word. Behind the Taoist, a devastatingly beautiful lady with a sad face was staring at the front.

In front of him, not far away, was a glass white cloud. Above the white cloud, there were images of a slightly skinny young man quietly meditating with his eyes closed.
