"This… Master Bai, you…?"
Seeing this, Qiu Tianhong was stunned.
Good heavens, the expert he had invited at a great cost was now openly defecting!
"Speak, who killed my junior brother Xiao Chuan?"
At this moment, Song Tao's face was filled with murderous intent as he looked at Qiu Hanling, Qiu Mingfei, and the others.
"We… we don't know."
Qiu Mingfei swallowed, his freshly changed pants now completely soaked.
"Don't know?"
"Hehehe, not knowing is good. How about this, I'll give you ten minutes to consider."
"If after ten minutes you still don't know, I'll kill everyone here. What do you say?"
Song Tao smiled, his gaze towards everyone filled with disdain.
As a powerful cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, killing such a group of ordinary people was no different from crushing a few ants.
"You… you dare to kill people? Aren't you afraid of legal repercussions?"
Hearing Song Tao's words, Qiu Tianhong was greatly alarmed.
Good heavens, there were so many people present, and he threatened to kill them so casually.
Especially his tone, as if killing a few chickens was a matter of course.
"Heh, let me tell you ignorant ants, I am Song Tao, the eldest disciple of the Ghost God Sect, a true immortal!"
"Killing a few mortals, how can the laws of the mortal world control me?"
Seeing Qiu Tianhong's naive look, Song Tao couldn't help but find it amusing.
Mere ants, killing them is no big deal, and yet he talks about laws?
"What? You are the eldest disciple of the Ghost God Sect?"
Upon hearing Song Tao announce his lineage, Bai Yunlong's eyes suddenly lit up.
Good heavens, Ghost God Sect, it truly is the Ghost God Sect!
He had heard of the Ghost God Sect's fame decades ago and knew they were a legitimate immortal cultivation sect.
However, these people had always been very low-key, and despite searching for decades, he had never found any trace of them.
Who would have thought that he would encounter the eldest disciple of the Ghost God Sect here!
"What? You know the Ghost God Sect too?"
Seeing Bai Yunlong's reaction, Song Tao was quite pleased.
"Reporting to Young Master Song, I once had a friend who was fortunate enough to be accepted as a registered disciple by the Ghost God Sect."
"However, he later passed away due to illness."
Bai Yunlong quickly explained the circumstances.
"Alright, stand aside for now. After this matter is resolved, I will personally recommend you to join the Ghost God Sect."
Song Tao nodded, and after speaking with Bai Yunlong, he turned his attention back to Qiu Tianhong and the others: "You have eight minutes left, take your time to consider."
After saying this, Song Tao began to survey everyone present.
When he saw Qiu Hanling's appearance, his eyes lit up.
Good heavens, this woman was even more beautiful than the celebrities and internet personalities he had seen on television!
He was determined to take her as his slave woman!
Qiu Tianhong, who was by his side, keenly noticed Song Tao's gaze and had an idea.
"Esteemed Young Master, this is my niece, Qiu Hanling, one of the four great beauties of Hangcheng. If you like her, I am willing to offer my niece to you, and I hope you will spare our lives."
Qiu Tianhong said with a fawning smile, trying to appease Song Tao.
Although he didn't know how capable this Song Tao was, even the renowned Master Bai Yunlong of Zhejiang province was willing to be a registered disciple, so appeasing him was definitely the right move!
"Hehehe, whether you are willing or not, she will be my slave woman."
"But as for you, if you cannot hand over the killer of my junior brother, you must all die!"
As he said this, a ruthless expression appeared on Song Tao's face.
It was a joke; the one who died yesterday was his junior brother Xiao Chuan, who was the sect leader's only son!
If he were to abandon the search for the killer for the sake of female beauty, wouldn't the sect leader skin him alive after coming out of seclusion?
"What?"
Seeing Song Tao's unyielding demeanor, Qiu Tianhong was truly starting to panic.
"Enough, I killed your junior brother. Come and kill me if you have the guts!"
However, just as everyone was in despair, Qiu Hanling, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up and slowly walked towards Song Tao.
"You? Heh, a mere mortal, capable of killing my junior brother?"
Hearing Qiu Hanling's words, Song Tao found it incredibly amusing, as if he had heard a great joke.
After all, his junior brother Xiao Chuan was a genuine Qi Refining cultivator, and he also possessed a sect treasure for protection. Even he himself wouldn't have had a ten percent chance of killing him.
A mortal, worthy of such a feat?
"I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise you will understand that death is far better than living."
At this moment, Song Tao's killing intent flared as he warned Qiu Hanling.
"Heh, I said it, I killed your junior brother. Come at me if you can!"
"A good-for-nothing who just yells here, a man like you, wanting me as a slave? You must be dreaming!"
Qiu Hanling completely ignored Song Tao's warning and walked step by step in his direction.
Others might not know, but she was certain that in all of Hangcheng, only Lin Chen would have the ability to kill someone named Xiao Chuan.
This person was here aggressively, so how could she possibly reveal Lin Chen's name?
Besides, she would rather die than become a slave to a man like this!
"Arrogant! Woman, you deserve to kneel at my feet!"
Song Tao was also angered by Qiu Hanling's words, and he slapped directly towards her face.
"Boom!"
However, just as Song Tao's palm was about to touch Qiu Hanling, a golden light flashed, and a bloody hole appeared between Song Tao's eyebrows.
The eldest disciple of the Ghost God Sect, a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, was killed in one strike!
Seeing this, everyone in the room was stunned.
Especially Bai Yunlong, whose eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
This was an immortal! A true immortal!
How could he have died so suddenly?
"Wh-what is happening?"
Qiu Tianhong also summoned his courage, slowly walked up to Song Tao, felt for his breath, and after confirming he was dead, he was completely bewildered.
Good heavens, just a moment ago he was looking ferocious, and in the blink of an eye, he was dead?
"It seemed like you were the one who made the move just now? You killed an immortal?"
Bai Yunlong's eyes widened as he looked at Qiu Hanling, who was also somewhat astonished.
He had been closest to them and had naturally seen the golden light emanating from Qiu Hanling that had killed Song Tao.
Even with his decades of martial arts experience, he hadn't seen how Qiu Hanling had made her move at all!
