Do you... know your crime?!

Staring at the three options on the game interface, Lin Xiao was so angry that his fingers were trembling and his mouth was twitching.

"This lousy game is really taking advantage of our misfortune! 100,000? 10,000? 1,000? Why don't they just rob us!"

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and quickly analyzed the three options.

Lin Qishuang is already seriously injured. If this continues, the consequences could be dire.

The first option is to recharge 100,000 to gain Nascent Soul cultivation for 15 minutes.

Lin Xiao grimaced at the thought. Not only did he not have 100,000 yuan in savings, but even if he did, he would never spend it so easily.

While Nascent Soul cultivation is indeed impressive, charging 100,000 per quarter of an hour is practically robbery, with ridiculously low cost-effectiveness and is a complete waste.

Moreover, he only wanted to rescue Lin Qishuang, so he didn't need to use the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

As for the second option, you can recharge 10,000 to purchase the Thunder Talisman, which can injure a Golden Core cultivator.

This option seems much more cost-effective than the first one. Although 10,000 yuan is still a lot, at least it can actually injure Liu Qinghan once and for all.

But Lin Xiao opened her mobile banking app and glanced at her balance, and instantly deflated.

He currently has only 7725 yuan left in his pocket.

This option can be eliminated without even thinking about it.

Besides that, only the third option remains.

Recharge 1000 and gain the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator for 30 seconds.

Lin Xiao stared at the option, his brows furrowed, his mind racing with calculations.

A thousand yuan, though painful, was at least within his means and he could still afford it.

The pressure from a Nascent Soul cultivator is two major realms higher than that from a Golden Core cultivator.

Let alone Liu Qinghan being just a Golden Core cultivator, even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator would have no choice but to submit obediently in the face of the pressure from the Divine Transformation Realm.

The deterrent effect is absolutely maximum!

The only downside is that it's only thirty seconds long, which is too short.

Once the oppressive aura disappears, Lin Qishuang will still be in danger if she is discovered.

But right now, there's no better option. I can't come up with 100,000 yuan, and 10,000 yuan isn't enough either. This is the only choice!

That's enough. Thirty seconds is enough for him to intimidate Liu Qinghan and for him to leave the city lord's mansion with Lin Qishuang.

As for the rest, well, that just depends on your acting skills!

"Damn it, you win!" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, cursing inwardly, but ultimately gave in.

Compared to Lin Qishuang's safety, everything else had to be accepted.

"This lousy game is going to drain you dry sooner or later!"

After cursing under his breath again, Lin Xiao didn't hesitate at all and quickly tapped the third option.

[Ding: Host has selected option three, confirmed the recharge of 1,000 yuan, and gained the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator for thirty seconds?]

"Confirm! Hurry up! Don't dawdle!"

Lin Xiao was so anxious that she stomped her feet, her eyes fixed on Lin Qishuang on the screen, afraid that Liu Qinghan would suddenly make a move.

[Ding: Top-up successful! 1000 yuan has been deducted, current account balance 6725 yuan.]

[Ding: The pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator has been activated, lasting for 30 seconds. Countdown begins: 30...29...]

……

Just before Lin Xiao activated his Nascent Soul stage aura, the already impatient Liu Qinghan looked at the stubborn Lin Qishuang and said coldly:

"I've already given you a chance, but since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for forcibly refining you into a furnace!"

Facing the overwhelming pressure of a Golden Core cultivator, Lin Qishuang gritted her teeth and said, word by word:

"You...can't...even think about it..."

"You ungrateful wretch! I'll show you what I'm capable of, and I'll make you wish you were dead..."

Upon witnessing this scene, Murong Hai and his son Murong Chen, standing to the side, also revealed a lewd expression.

They're just waiting for this senior expert from the Hehuan Sect to have his fill of fun, so they can also get a share and taste the flavor of the Qingping Sword Immortal!

However, before Liu Qinghan could finish speaking, a deep, thunderous voice resounded throughout the entire city of Lin'an!

"How dare you! A mere Golden Core cultivator dares to attack my men!"

As this voice rang out, an aura ten thousand times more terrifying than Liu Qinghan's Golden Core pressure suddenly erupted!

This aura was vast and boundless, like the collapse of heaven and earth, carrying a murderous aura that instantly swept across the entire city lord's mansion.

The previously arrogant and domineering Liu Qinghan froze instantly under the sudden and terrifying pressure.

"puff……"

Liu Qinghan suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his face instantly turned pale.

He suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the void, his eyes filled with disbelief, his lips trembling, and his voice shaking uncontrollably.

"What... what is this aura?!"

He was a Golden Core cultivator, and in the entire Cangxuan Realm, he feared no one except for a few Nascent Soul stage monsters!

However, even a Nascent Soul cultivator could not possibly severely injure him with just his aura pressure!

This aura is absolutely terrifying!

How could there be such a powerful figure in this Cangxuan Realm? Why have I never heard of him before?

In an instant, Liu Qinghan was filled with fear and dread, her heart felt like it was about to burst!

If Liu Qinghan was already in such a state, then Murong Hai and his son, standing to the side, were even more overwhelmed by the terrifying pressure.

At the same time, the father and son's legs went weak, and they knelt heavily on the ground, their bodies trembling like leaves.

In an instant, both father and son coughed up blood, and cold sweat soaked their clothes.

On the contrary, Lin Qishuang, who was originally unable to get up due to the pressure of the Golden Core, suddenly felt a sense of relief throughout her body.

The moment she sensed that familiar presence, she abruptly looked up at the sky.

She knew that her senior had finally made a move!

Seeing that Lin Qishuang was completely unaffected, and combining this with what he had heard earlier...

Liu Qinghan and the others naturally understood where this sudden, terrifying pressure came from.

No one expected that such a terrifying big shot was hiding behind Lin Qishuang!

I originally thought that Liu Qinghan, a Golden Core cultivator, was enough to crush everything.

The oppressive aura before them, merely by leaking out its aura, had already severely injured a Golden Core cultivator; this was not even the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Could it be the legendary Nascent Soul Realm?!

But how is this possible? The Cangxuan Realm hasn't seen a Nascent Soul expert for many years!

"Senior, spare my life!" Liu Qinghan was so frightened by the terrifying pressure that he was incoherent, his voice trembling like a candle in the wind.

"Senior, spare my life! This junior did not know that Fairy Lin was your person! Please, senior, spare my life!"

Seeing this, Murong Hai and his son also started kowtowing frantically, their foreheads becoming bloody and mangled, unable to utter a single complete sentence.

At this moment, the group could only hope that this mysterious senior would have mercy and spare their lives.

In the real world, Lin Xiao stared intently at the countdown timer on the game interface (25...24...), his heart pounding wildly.

He tried to remain calm while deliberately lowering his voice into the microphone.

He shouted again, his voice like thunder, making the entire inner hall buzz.

"Liu Qinghan, your Hehuan Sect has committed countless evils, such as plundering cultivation furnaces! Today, you dare to be so insolent before me, coveting the person I protect..."

At this point, Lin Xiao deliberately paused before lowering his voice and coldly saying, "Do you... know your crime?!"
