Having already been furious with Fang Chen, Qin Linglong couldn't take any more.
Her face twisted with rage as she glared at the Fire Sun Sect disciple, finding in him the perfect outlet for her anger.
"So you *do* have someone backing you!"
The disciple's face lit up with sudden realization at the mention of Fang Chen's name.
Without hesitation, Qin Linglong hurled a Sword Talisman.
By normal standards, she was no match for this Fire Sun Sect disciple. She had just entered the Divine Sea Realm, while he was in the Divine Origin Realm—two major realms higher.
But Qin Linglong had resources that defied normal standards!
*Boom!*
The Sword Talisman flew out, its light flashing as it unleashed a devastating sword qi that engulfed the Fire Sun Sect disciple.
"Void Return Realm?!"
The disciple froze in shock.
A casually thrown Sword Talisman had actually reached the power of the Void Return Realm.
*Who is this little girl?*
*How is she so wealthy?*
The sword qi erupted, leveling the area and reducing everything around it to dust.
The Fire Sun Sect disciple was killed before he could react.
"He's just... dead?"
Qin Linglong's face paled as she stared at the complete lack of remains.
She was still just a little girl, and had never killed anyone before. This was her first kill, and the weight of it was almost unbearable.
She hadn't intended to kill the Fire Sun Sect disciple. In her anger, she had instinctively thrown out a Sword Talisman, never expecting it to actually kill him.
Qin Linglong took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
Though she was still shaken, she had come from the Great Qin Dynasty. Even though she had never killed anyone personally, she had been indirectly exposed to such things since childhood, and quickly adapted.
*It's not my fault!*
*Even if I hadn't killed him, he would have killed me.*
Qin Linglong thought to herself.
When the man had first spotted her, his eyes had greedily fixed on the Millennium Snow Lotus in her hand. She knew then that he would definitely attack her.
Qin Linglong didn't attack, likely due to some reservations she couldn't identify.
She had clearly seen the Fire Sun Sect disciple signaling for backup.
The thought of a group of people coming to capture her soon made Qin Linglong regret her hesitation.
*If I'd known this would happen, I should have acted sooner.*
In this place, murder and treasure-hunting were commonplace.
Any hesitation could cost her her life.
The commotion also drew the attention of many.
In front of an ancient hall, an elder suddenly looked up and muttered, "Could someone have infiltrated the sect?"
"That seems unlikely. The Fourth Elder is guarding the entrance. Who could get past him?"
"But a disciple sent a message, and the commotion is coming from that direction. It's possible someone has slipped in!"
"No! This is a critical time for opening the Inheritance Hall. We're on the verge of obtaining the legacy. We can't let these intruders disrupt it!"
As these thoughts raced through his mind, the elder glanced at the disciples beside him and ordered, "Someone has infiltrated our ranks. You two, check the Secret Realm entrance. The rest of you, go check over there."
"If you find any infiltrators, eliminate them immediately. No one must be allowed to disturb our opening of the Inheritance Hall!"
The elder pointed in the direction of the recent explosion.
The dozen or so disciples who had ascended to the heavens nodded in unison and split into two groups, heading in different directions.
"I hope the intruders aren't too strong. We need to hold out until the Sect Leader and the Ancestor arrive."
This sudden crisis gave the elder a headache.
There had been no word from the Fourth Elder, and now the Secret Realm was filled with the sound of explosions.
This likely meant the Fourth Elder had perished. Anyone who could bypass the Fourth Elder's defenses must be incredibly powerful—at least a Void Return Realm expert.
Moreover, they had no idea how many intruders there might be!
The explosions naturally drew the attention of the Fire Sun Sect.
Not long after Qin Linglong had left, Fire Sun Sect disciples arrived and quickly discovered the intruders.
"We've found a low-level cultivator in the Divine Sea Realm. He's not one of our Fire Sun Sect. Following the Fourth Elder's orders, kill him immediately!"
The moment they spotted Qin Linglong, these men acted without hesitation.
"How annoying! Why are there more people coming?" Qin Linglong was exasperated.
She had just killed one person, and now a whole group had arrived!
"Fine, then I'll just kill all of you!"
Qin Linglong immediately produced two Sword Talismans and hurled them through the air.
The talismans transformed into two massive swords mid-flight, their sword qi surging with overwhelming power as they charged toward the Fire Sun Sect disciples.
What was most terrifying was the sword intent woven into the sword qi.
With sword intent, even the simplest sword technique's power would increase exponentially.
In the next moment, thunderous roars echoed as several Fire Sun Sect disciples were engulfed by the sword qi, dying in the northwest with bitter resentment.
The disciples hadn't even understood what was happening before they were cut down.
They probably died without ever comprehending how they could be slain by a mere Divine Sea Realm cultivator.
And it was a complete annihilation!
Having learned from her previous experience, Qin Linglong remained much calmer this time as she slew several more cultivators.
Soon, a group of cultivators arrived.
The Fire Sun Sect disciples guarding the entrance to the Secret Realm had been slaughtered by Fang Chen, leaving no one to block the way. As a result, a large number of cultivators flooded into the realm.
This influx of cultivators turned the Secret Realm into a chaotic free-for-all.
The Fire Sun Sect elder was furious.
"Who dared kill the Fourth Elder and the others? If I catch them, I'll tear them limb from limb!"
The elder was nearly apoplectic. Their meticulous plan had been going smoothly, but then the Fourth Elder, stationed at the Secret Realm entrance, was killed.
Had the Fourth Elder remained at the entrance, waiting for the Sect Leader and the others to arrive, all the treasures within the Secret Realm would have been claimed by the Fire Sun Sect.
Now that the Fourth Elder was dead and a flood of cultivators had entered, they could no longer monopolize the realm.
The Secret Realm's tranquility was shattered, and sounds of fighting and explosions echoed through the air.
Clearly, the cultivators were fiercely scrambling for treasures.
When such an opportunity arises, it's hard not to drive these cultivators into a frenzy.
Especially for the rogue cultivators, encountering such a great fortune naturally makes them even more frenzied.
This leads to constant battles within the Secret Realm.
Even Fang Chen frequently heard the roar of explosions.
Within this Secret Realm, a rumor spread like wildfire:
There was a terrifying little girl in the Secret Realm, only at the Divine Sea Realm, yet possessing an inexhaustible supply of treasures. Any one of them, when casually produced, could unleash a full-power strike comparable to that of a Void Return Realm expert.
Those who encountered this little girl and didn't flee quickly would lose their lives.
Anyone who dared to attack her for treasures was undoubtedly walking to their death.
Qin Linglong's petite stature and Divine Sea Realm cultivation made her a target for many cultivators, but those who harbored such intentions ended up as nothing but scattered bones.
Especially her inexhaustible supply of Sword Talismans, which struck countless cultivators with dread.
Relying on these Sword Talismans, Qin Linglong became a force that swaggered through the Secret Realm unchecked.
