"Yang... has perished!"
Jiang Tianming had not yet had the chance to rejoice over the death of a formidable enemy when Mingling brought distressing news!
Jiang Tianming took a deep breath, his complexion extremely unsightly, and asked, "Junior Brother, how did you come to be in such a sorry state?"
In fact, when Jiang Tianming arrived and saw Yang's wounds, he knew that his life would not last much longer; a sword slash had torn open his belly, even churning his internal organs into shreds.
Unless there was a fourth-grade Spirit Pill of Flesh Regeneration, there was no possible way to survive, thus he was already mentally prepared.
"Senior Brother, did you not notice that Yu Qing doesn't have his Lifebound Spirit Sword with him?"
Mingling said with a bitter smile, "He hid the Lifebound Spirit Sword within the Sword Qi. If it weren't for the fact that I am an Artifact Refiner and had several Defensive Treasures in hand, I fear..."
Jiang Tianming's face stiffened, his voice bitter as he said, "We've eliminated Yu Qing, but Yang Junior Brother has perished because of it. I'm not sure if taking action this time was worth it."
To these words, Mingling didn't know what to say and could only maintain silence.

"Let's go. With Yu Qing dead and the Life Token shattered, the Green Sword Sect surely knows by now. We must completely exterminate the Green Sword Sect and unite Guangqing State to honor Junior Brother Yang's contributions and sacrifice."
Mingling frowned and said, "Senior Brother, what about the Li family... "
Leaned against a tree, pretending to be seriously injured, Li Shiqing heard this and, using the tree trunk to 'steadily' lift himself up, said with a weak voice, "Have you two Daoist friends forgotten the promise made earlier?"
Li Shiqing had considered whether to drop the guise and let them know he wasn't really injured, which might make them hesitant to take action against him.
On the other hand, Jiang Tianming and Mingling, who were hurrying toward the Sect to lead the disciples in resolving the Green Sword Sect issue.
On the way, Mingling asked, "Senior Brother, why didn't you take the opportunity to get rid of Li Shiqing? Keeping him alive is a disaster."
Especially since the Yuanming Sect has lost a Golden Core, even though they still held an advantage, threatening Li Shiqing would not be as easy anymore.
Considering that all three were early-stage Golden Core cultivators, if they truly fought with all their might, Li Shiqing could possibly take one of them with him!
Therefore, Mingling thought now was the best time to deal with him while he was severely injured.
With Li Shiqing dead, the survival or destruction of the Li family would rest on their decision alone.
"Cough cough!" Suddenly, Jiang Tianming began to cough violently, streaks of fresh blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Senior Brother, you're injured too?!" Mingling's face changed drastically, in disbelief at the scene.
Jiang Tianming shook his head, his voice hoarse, "After returning to Yuanming Mountain, you will take Liu Yunde and the other disciples to Guangqing State. Remember, do not attack the mountain gate of the Green Sword Sect. Just encircle them."
Almost nobody knew that Yu Qing's Lifebound Spirit Sword was not just one, but a set of Mother-Child Swords!
The Mother Sword self-destructed in an attempt to slaughter Mingling, while the Child Sword exploded to block Jiang Tianming, injuring him, and Yu Qing himself charged at Yang, slaying him.
However, Jiang Tianming had feigned his condition too convincingly, fighting bravely against Yu Qing without anyone noticing he was injured.
"Got it! Senior Brother, rest well and recover after you return to the Sect!" Mingling nodded repeatedly, controlling the Spirit Boat as it sped back to the Sect.
Half an hour later, numerous Spirit Boats ascended from Yuanming Mountain, heading toward the north to Guangqing State.
