Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Qin Xiao had not yet completely gotten over his chaotic and complicated emotions. He was stunned for a moment, watching the man conjure up a huge sickle out of thin air and chop at him.

In a flash, the huge sickle collided with something. Before Qin Xiao could see clearly, he saw the sickle and the man flying backwards.

Qin's father stood in front of Qin Xiao, his face extremely gloomy, staring solemnly at Qin Ao who was getting up.

"Qin Xiuyun! Don't tell me you didn't see what he did just now!!" Qin Ao roared, pointing at Qin Xiao behind Qin's father.

The atmosphere around was dead silent, and neither Qin Yansheng nor Qin Yuxing spoke.

Qin Xiao finally realized something and looked up at Qin's father.

Qin Xiuyun didn't look at him, his head turned away so that his expression couldn't be seen clearly.

"Didn't you see anything? Qin Yuxing? Qin Yansheng? Speak up! Didn't you see what that kid did just now?!" Qin Ao almost roared, his whole body shaking.

"I've said it before, all evil cultivators are the same. Wu Su has never made any mistakes, he clearly--" Qin Ao pointed at Qin Xiao, with shocking hatred in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Qin Xiao suddenly spoke, looking at Qin Ao.

Father Qin's fingers suddenly tightened, trying to hold Qin Xiao back, but he could only watch him walk out from behind him and face the furious Qin Ao.

Qin Xiao looked at Qin Yansheng, who had a complicated expression, and seemed to understand something: "So, are you testing me today?"

"Don't change the subject!" Qin Ao strode forward and swung the sickle. The blade completely enveloped Qin Xiao. The cold light flowed on the blade, flashing a terrifying light.

Qin Ao only needs to make a hook of his hand, and Qin Xiao's head will fall to the ground immediately.

"What was transferred?" Qin Xiao didn't seem to be afraid at all, and even tilted his head in confusion. The curved blade instantly drew a trail of blood.

Father Qin suddenly took a step forward, wanting to do something, but could only stop in the suffocating atmosphere.

"Where did you learn this method of killing him?" Qin Ao's terrifying eyes seemed to want to glare Qin Xiao to death.

"My master taught me." Qin Xiao said calmly.

"Master?" Qin Ao paused and looked at Qin Xiuyun suspiciously.

Qin's father didn't show it on his face, but he was suddenly shocked in his heart.

"Don't you even think before you lie?" Qin Ao sneered, "The method you used just now is only used by corpse binders. How could you possibly--"

"What is the Corpse Binder?" Qin Xiao asked.

Qin Ao was interrupted, and after hearing his question, he became even more angry: "How could you not know what a Corpse Binder is?! You said that your master taught you this, but you grew up under our noses, how could I not know whether Qin Xiuyun found a master for you? If what you said is true, then your master is a Corpse Binder, and Corpse Binders have always been killing people in Yuhua. Qin Xiuyun agreed even though he knew it, so he is not qualified to be the head of this family."

"...So what is the Corpse Binder?" Qin Xiao asked.

"You--" Qin Ao exerted a little force, and the blade pressed lightly on Qin Xiao's neck, and a horrible wound appeared instantly.

Qin's father finally couldn't bear it any longer and raised his hand to throw Qin Ao out again.

"What the hell-"

"If you want to ask, ask nicely. If you can't control your hands, calm yourself down first." Qin Xiuyun was obviously suppressing his anger and said coldly, "I didn't stop you from asking, but if you want to ask something, just ask nicely. Why are you trying to force a confession out of you?"

“So what if it is so?” Qin Ao’s eyes were red as he glared at Qin Xiuyun. “Based on what he just showed, even if I kill him now, it wouldn’t be wrong at all.”

Qin Xiuyun's eyes were cold. He did not refute but actually agreed with what he said.

Qin Xiao looked at his father. Qin Xiuyun took out a handkerchief, squatted down and looked directly at him, stretched out his hand and pressed the handkerchief on the wound on his neck to help him stop the bleeding.

"Tell me the truth, what on earth was that technique that just sucked a person dry?" Qin Xiuyun tried to make his voice sound calm.

Qin Xiao said honestly: "It is a method of integrating a person's vitality and cultivation into their blood and then extracting the blood. This can increase a person's lifespan and help wounds heal."

"Beneficial? What about those whose lifespan and cultivation were taken away? Do they deserve to die?" Qin Ao sneered.

"You will lose a corresponding amount of lifespan." Qin Xiao looked at him and pointed at the skinny corpse. "As for him, I don't think his death was unjust."

"But no matter what, this is evil." Qin Ao said coldly, staring straight at Qin Xiuyun, "So you want to protect your son? The master he mentioned was found by you? Qin Xiuyun, that's the Corpse Binder."

"Although I don't know what a Corpse Binder is, my master is not one of them," Qin Xiao said.

Qin Ao said contemptuously: "What you said doesn't count. Unless you can find your master to prove that he is not your master."

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao lowered his eyes slightly: "I can't help it."

"then you--"

"I can prove it!"

A cheerful female voice suddenly interrupted the gloomy atmosphere, seeming particularly abrupt.

"Qin Yansheng has nothing to do with you--" Qin Ao was about to curse, but turned around and saw Qin Yansheng looking at him innocently. He spread his hands to indicate that he had nothing to say.

Qin Xiao opened his eyes wide.

He turned around suddenly and saw a black-haired woman waving at him with a smile.

This is not the point. The point is that the woman has her breasts exposed and only has a gauze-like skirt wrapped around her lower body.

Qin Ao was choked for a moment when he saw this bold outfit.

The woman's eyes were bright, and she had none of the shyness that a girl should have. She openly exposed her beautiful body: her skin was smooth and white, like jade, her arms showed slightly muscular lines, her waist was slender, her round breasts hung in front of her chest, and her legs were long and straight, as if they could be held in one hand.

The woman wore metal earrings on her ears, which made a crisp sound like jade when they collided. She was barefoot, but her feet were not stained with mud, but were extremely clean.

The woman tilted her head slightly, and her smooth long hair slid down to her waist and scattered slightly.

"? What's wrong?" The woman noticed everyone's surprised looks and blinked in confusion.

"You...you are like this..." Qin Ao reacted, covered his face with one hand and turned his head away, "How disgraceful!"

The woman frowned slightly, as if she was confused.

Several men were looking up at the sky, some lowered their heads, and some closed their eyes and took a nap.

"Ahem, girl..." Qin Yansheng coughed a few times and pointed at the clothes on her body, "Why don't you wear a top?"

"Why do you have to wear it?" the woman wondered. The sound was like spring water hitting stone, especially clear and pleasant.

Qin Yansheng looked at her in surprise and found that this woman had eyebrows as green as mountains and eyes as bright as flowing water. Just one glance at her could calm people down, and looking at her would not even give rise to the slightest evil thought.

"Oh, that's right!" The woman clapped her hands as if she remembered something and smiled. This smile was like the spring breeze blowing over the willows, fresh and elegant.

"I can prove that his master is not that person." The woman looked at Qin Xiao with shining eyes.

Qin Xiao looked at the woman and began to recall who she was.

"You don't recognize me?" The woman saw through Qin Xiao's thoughts at a glance, and seemed very sad about it. "I used to interact with your master frequently... although it was one-sided."

As the woman spoke, she suddenly stretched out her arms and hugged Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao was startled, and before he could react, his face was buried in her chest, and his breathing suddenly stagnated.

The woman's body temperature was slightly cool, and her skin was indeed as smooth as imagined, but it did not give rise to the slightest romantic thoughts.

"Bless you." The woman just hugged him for a moment, holding Qin Xiao's face with both hands and gently leaving a kiss on his forehead.

In an instant, along with the gentle kiss, something appeared beside Qin Xiao, but only Qin Xiao could see these things.

Qin Xiao frowned slightly, hiding the look in his eyes.

"Huh?" The woman asked in doubt, and looked at Qin Xiao with a slightly raised eyebrow, "Why are there restrictions?"

Before Qin Xiao could react, the woman tapped his forehead with her index finger. Suddenly, something seemed to break deep in his mind, and memories flooded out like a tide.

Qin Xiao's eyes widened, and his blood suddenly boiled.

"Oh my!" The woman seemed to be frightened and covered her mouth. "It's over, it's over. This is Mang Ling. I won't know until I unlock it."

Qin Xiao's emotions fluctuated violently and his mind was in a mess. He just raised his head to say something, but saw the woman tapping his forehead in panic, and he immediately lost consciousness and passed out.

Qin's father caught the unconscious Qin Xiao in time and looked at the woman in surprise and suspicion, with a strong hostility between his brows.

"I just knocked him out." The woman shook her hands to show that she had no ill intentions, then she held her head tightly and sighed to the sky, "It's over, it's over. If he knew, I would be in big trouble."

"Who? What did you know? What did you say was the restriction in Qin Xiao's body?" Qin Xiuyun looked at her coldly.

The woman covered her face, as if she had suffered a serious blow: "...his master, ah my——"

The woman's behavior was truly strange, leaving those present puzzled.

"Ahem..." Qin Yuxing coughed a few times, took off his coat and put it on the woman, "Put on your clothes first? It's too inconvenient to talk like this."

The woman looked at Qin Yuxing in confusion, then turned to look at the other people's faces, as if she understood something: "Do you think it's inconvenient for me to be a woman? Then I can use a man's body."

Everyone:?

Without giving everyone time to digest what she said, the woman's body underwent a tremendous transformation as soon as she finished speaking.

His delicate facial features became three-dimensional and profound, his figure changed from slender to tall and strong, leopard-like stripes appeared on his body, and he grew several inches taller in an instant.

Qin Yuxing:? ! !

The robe, which was originally quite wide, now seemed a little small.

"Oh my God——" Qin Yansheng widened her eyes. This was the first time she saw a girl turning into a boy.

"Is it a simulated attribute?" The old man remembered that there was a type of attribute that could indeed change gender, but it was too rare, basically one of a kind.

The originally soft lines became particularly hard. The man looked at the people around him, smiled with his eyebrows bent, and said in a low voice: "Shall we talk about it now?"

"What's there to say!" Qin Ao reacted and said unhappily, "Even if you say you know his master, you have to produce evidence to prove that he is not a corpse binder. Who would believe you with empty words like this?"

"Even if you say so..." The man frowned and looked at him, "Aren't you also arbitrarily labeling people based on your own stereotypes?"

"Isn't the blood technique he just used up to standard?" Qin Ao couldn't believe it. "He just said that he used the method of refining flesh and blood, extracting the life of others to repair his own injuries. Isn't this the Corpse Binder's--"

"Can I ask what exactly that Corpse Binder is?" The man smiled politely.

The man looked at the silent Qin Xiuyun. He felt that this person might be calmer.

"A bunch of lunatics." Qin Xiuyun lowered his eyes and looked at Qin Xiao, and said softly, "What they practiced was not an attribute, but a technique called blood technique. The deeper one practices this technique, the crazier one becomes. There is a very simple way to identify the Corpse Binders, that is, their eyes turn red when they practice blood technique."

"His eyes were red just now!" Qin Ao pointed at Qin Xiao and shouted, "I saw it with my own eyes."
