Lin Qing was alone on a big tree outside Caomiao Village. At midnight, suddenly five beams of light appeared at the entrance of Caomiao Village.
The light disappeared, and three men and two women appeared in the same spot, dressed in strange clothes. Lin Qing scanned them with his divine sense and found that their clothing was unusual.
A valiant woman asked, "Captain, why didn't we choose Qingyun Town, which is closest to Qingyun Sect, instead of being born in Grass Temple Village?"
The somewhat handsome captain said pretentiously, "If you've all thought of it, how could I not? Just listen to me."
The other team members had no choice but to give up, after all, their captain was not only a master, but also a wealthy master, and all the equipment they had was given to them by the captain.
The captain was overjoyed: "Hehe, this time I finally managed to get the trace of the chosen one of this world from my grandfather after much pleading and cajoling."
"My grandfather said that as long as I kill the Child of Destiny, the immense fortune will be bestowed upon me. Then, hehe!"
Just as Lin Qing was about to test these people from another world, he suddenly spotted Pu Zhi near Caomiao Village.
Lin Qing immediately gave up on contacting these "players," since there were so many players, he could find them easily. He decided to capture Puzhi first.
This way, Grass Temple Village can be saved. As for whether Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu can successfully enter Qingyun Sect, that's none of Lin Qing's business.
Lin Qing appeared beside Puzhi in a flash, and before Puzhi could react, Lin Qing had completely sealed off all of Puzhi's spiritual power.
Then, after capturing Puzhi, they left Caomiao Village. Lin Qing checked Puzhi's cultivation level and compared it with his own strength.
Lin Qing could instantly kill Pu Zhi, so his cultivation level was probably equivalent to the Qingyun Sect's Taiqing Realm, or one level above it.
Lin Qing estimated that the Beast God was also at this level, but Lin Qing felt that he should be able to easily kill the Beast God.
Having the same cultivation level doesn't mean having the same strength. You have to know that Lin Qing is a divine beast. Not to mention fighting beyond one's level, he is definitely invincible at the same level.
The heavily injured Puzhi said calmly, "Who are you? Why did you imprison my spiritual power the moment we met?"
Lin Qing said with interest, "You have something good on you that I'd like to borrow."
Puzhi trembled slightly and said, "This humble monk is already seriously injured, and I have nothing on me that would be of interest to you, senior."
Lin Qing chuckled: "Really? But I do have my eye on the Bloodthirsty Bead on you."
Puzhi immediately asked anxiously, "Senior, this Bloodthirsty Bead is—"
Lin Qing interrupted Pu Zhi, saying, "Whatever it is, it's mine now." With a thought, a bead radiating a blood-red light appeared in Lin Qing's hand.
A violent and evil aura invaded Lin Qing's body from the Blood-Devouring Bead, but suddenly the Samadhi True Fire in his dantian burned that aura away.

Instantly, the glowing Bloodthirsty Bead turned into an ordinary bead and fell into Lin Qing's hand.
“I’m not taking your things for nothing. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll heal your injuries, and then we’ll be even.”
After saying that, Lin Qing didn't give Puzhi a chance to answer. He waved his hand across Puzhi's body, and a life-giving light fell on Puzhi's body.
Puzhi was initially very resistant, but suddenly his whole body started trembling and he let out a comfortable moan. Then he realized what he was doing and shut his mouth.
Lin Qing joked, "You say no, but your body says no."
Puzhi blushed slightly and said awkwardly, "Thank you, senior."
Puzhi's injuries have healed, and even the deadly poison in his body has been removed.
Lin Qing: "Alright, go back to where you came from, we're even now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qing's figure slowly blurred and finally disappeared.
With Lin Qing's departure, the restrictions on Puzhi also disappeared. Puzhi stood up, dusted himself off, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad.
"My God, Puzhi, can't you just fly? Why do you have to walk step by step?" Lin Qing followed behind Puzhi to prevent him from returning to Caomiao Village.
Having confirmed that Puzhi's direction was the opposite of Caomiao Village, Lin Qing felt reassured and turned to fly towards Caomiao Village.
"Five players have come to Grass Temple Village. I don't know what they're here for. Let me check first." Lin Qing released his divine sense to investigate.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qing's eyes widened, veins bulged on his forehead, and a gruesome scene flashed into his mind.
The village of Caomiao was slaughtered. Lin Qing shouted angrily, "You're all courting death!"
Let's go back to when the player appeared in front of Grass Temple Village.
I am a beautiful woman: "Captain, what are we going to do now? Is there some kind of master living in seclusion in this small village?"
The man with the long beard said, "A master? I think there's some treasure inside!"
A valiant woman: "Let's hear what the captain has to say."
A very handsome captain said viciously, "Attack! We'll slaughter this village. We must finish this quickly and decisively. We can't let anyone go, not even babies."
I remained silent, horrified, and asked, "Captain, what did you say?"
The other team members all looked at their captain with drastically changed expressions. They never expected that their captain, whom they knew as a kind and gentle man, would say such vicious words.
A very handsome captain: "Let's do it. Anyway, this is a game world. They're just a string of data. What's there to hesitate about?"
A valiant woman: "But, Captain, this... this..."
A very handsome captain said with a gloomy expression, "What? You don't want to make a move?"
The man with the long beard hurriedly came over and advised, "Yingzi, don't overthink it. It's just a game world. Let's go."
With a long beard, he grabbed her and rushed into Grass Temple Village. The others hesitated for a moment before rushing in as well, and the carnage began.
To prevent anyone from escaping, a very handsome captain took out an array plate and threw it into the sky above the village, and a transparent light shield enveloped the entire Caomiao Village.
Subsequently, the captain joined the killing, and in the end, the entire Caomiao Village was almost completely slaughtered.
Only Zhang Xiaofan's family and Lin Jingyu's family remained. Zhang's father and Lin's father each held a wood-chopping knife, protecting their children and wives behind them.
Looking at the five players before him, Zhang's father, his hand trembling, said with a machete in hand:
"Why, why do you have to kill everyone? You robbed us and took all the money, why don't you even spare the children?"
A valiant woman, seeing their plight, was about to say something when a man with a long beard spoke up.
"For no reason, you are just a string of data. It would be an honor for you to die at the hands of our Kamikaze Squad."
"You, you all, you deserve to die, I'll fight you to the death."
"Let's risk it, we're going to die either way."
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, and Mr. and Mrs. Lin rushed towards the Divine Wind Squad, shouting, "Xiao Fan, Jing Yu, run! We'll hold them off!"
"Ahhh, Father, Mother. Waaaaah." Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu wailed and cried. In the end, Lin Jingyu came to his senses and pulled Zhang Xiaofan to run out of the village.
"Haha, the whole village is surrounded by my formation, those two can't escape." The captain laughed heartily.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the captain drew his sword, swung it in mid-air, and a flash of sword energy disappeared in an instant, sending the heads of Zhang's father and the other three men flying into the air.
"Father, Mother." Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu stopped abruptly, staring blankly at their headless parents.
"You're asking for death!" An angry voice echoed throughout the entire Caomiao Village.
Then, a gigantic palm slammed down from the sky onto the five members of the Divine Wind Squad. The array plates floating in the sky didn't even have a millisecond to resist before being shattered by the giant palm.
Before the five of them could react, the giant hand smashed them into a pulp.
The giant hand disappeared, leaving behind a huge handprint and five lumps of flesh. Then Lin Qing appeared beside Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu.
Lin Qing sighed, "I've already wiped them out. You—go and see them. Sigh!" With a wave of his hand, he placed their parents' heads on top of the corpses.
"Father, Mother." The two ignored Lin Qing and went straight to their parents' side, bursting into tears.
Watching the two of them cry out in anguish, Lin Qing felt a strange sadness mixed with anger, and anger mixed with regret.
Sadly, Lin Qing thought of her parents. Although they were still alive, she didn't know when she would see them again.
What's infuriating is that these "players" managed to slaughter the entire village in such a short time. If Lin Qing had arrived any later, Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu would both have died.
Regretfully, Lin Qing thought that by driving Puzhi away, he had prevented the tragedy in Caomiao Village from happening, so he ignored these "players".
To his surprise, when he looked back, Caomiao Village had still been destroyed. If Lin Qing had stayed here, none of this would have happened.
Suddenly, a blue light came from afar, and the next moment it turned into a person, landing behind Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu.
Tian Buyi looked around, slightly shocked, and then asked, "Sir, what happened here?"
Before Lin Qing could answer, Lin Jingyu wiped away her tears and pulled Zhang Xiaofan, who was still sobbing, to kneel in front of Lin Qing.
Lin Jingyu spoke first: "Thank you, immortal, for saving our lives. Thank you, immortal, for avenging the murder of our father and mother."
"Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan. Quickly say thank you." Lin Jingyu tugged at Zhang Xiao Fan, who was still grieving the loss of his parents.

"Waaah, ah, waaah, thank you, thank you senior, thank you senior." Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly thanked them after realizing what had happened.
Lin Qing said in a deep voice, "I arrived a little late, otherwise the whole village wouldn't have been here. Alas, it's my fault."
"It's not our fault, senior. It's our good fortune that you saved us. It's just that we don't know why those five people slaughtered our village."
Watching Lin Jingyu speak so maturely, he didn't seem like a boy who was only a teenager at all.
Lin Qing: "These are people from another world. They are immortal and indestructible. If you kill them, they can return to this world soon after."
"How is that possible? Then what about us?" Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan were extremely shocked.
Lin Qing turned to Tian Buyi, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "This must be the head of a peak in the Qingyun Sect!"
Tian Buyi cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I am Tian Buyi from Dazhu Peak of Qingyun Sect."
"Senior, please accept Xiao Fan and me as your disciples." Lin Jingyu pulled Xiao Fan and prepared to kowtow to Lin Qing.
Lin Qing immediately reached out and supported the two of them, preventing them from kneeling down: "I don't accept disciples. This is at the foot of Qingyun Sect Mountain. Tian Buyi, you can handle this."
After pondering for a while, Tian Buyi said, "You, come with me to Qingyun Sect. Fellow Daoist, we shall part ways here."
Lin Qing smiled and said, "Hehe, we will meet again." After saying that, Lin Qing disappeared.
Afterwards, Tian Buyi helped bury all the corpses in the village, and then took Xiao Fan and the other person to Qingyun Sect.
In the Mingyu Empire, on its home planet, within a luxurious mansion.
A handsome blond man got up from the virtual gaming pod, muttering curses under his breath.
