Chapter 428 The Gao Family Comes After Us

Lin Qingxi was unaware of Yu Zhiyi's predicament. Seeing that Yu Zhiyi treated spirit stones like cabbages, she assumed that the other party was just an innocent young lady.

I've heard that many large families protect their children so well that they become idiots with no common sense.

"If Miss Jiang is interested, you can try your luck at the Danlou in Shoushi City on your return trip. Even if there are no pills in stock at that time, you can leave a deposit to reserve one in advance. I heard that customers who reserve in advance are guaranteed to receive a longevity pill within a year."

Unaware that her image in the other person's mind had quietly changed, Yu Zhiyi nodded slightly: "I understand."

She hesitated before asking, "Does Miss Lin know how to establish a spiritual connection between a cultivator and a weapon?"

Lin Qingxi was taken aback: "Huh?"

Yu Zhiyi frowned: "You don't know either?"

Lin Qingxi looked bewildered: "No...no, what does Miss Jiang mean by 'spiritual connection'?"

Yu Zhiyi's brows furrowed even more.

Was the question she asked very profound?

"Perhaps, like leaving a mental imprint on a storage ring?"

Lin Qingxi fell silent again.

Just as Yu Zhiyi thought the question was really profound, Lin Qingxi said, "What Miss Jiang is talking about seems to be, perhaps, blood oath?"

Yu Zhiyi was taken aback: "Blood recognition?"

Lin Qingxi silently withdrew her speculation about the other party's identity.

Even the most well-protected young lady couldn't possibly be unaware of the blood oath ceremony.

"The blood-binding ceremony involves dripping the essence blood from one's right middle finger into the blood groove of a magical weapon. In this way, the spirit imprint of the master can be left on the weapon, and the master can control the weapon at will."

Yu Zhiyi fell silent: "So those Golden Core cultivators who fly on swords are all riding weapons that have been bound to them by blood?"

Of course she knew how to perform a blood oath, but she hadn't expected the secret to flying on a sword to be so simple and obvious, which made all her previous guesses seem like a joke.

The only difference between her and other Golden Core Realm experts who could fly on swords was that she lacked a weapon that had been bound to her by blood.

Lin Qingxi said in despair, "Yes."

After thinking for a moment, Yu Zhiyi took out all the weapons she had.

Apart from Master Qingfeng's sword.

Given Qingfeng Zhenren's identity, that sword is likely to be quite famous.

Although Yu Zhiyi believed in Lin Qingxi's character, she did not trust the methods of others.

It's better to avoid trouble.

At that moment, in front of her was a long black wooden stick, a black longsword, and several other swords that looked very beautiful but whose material was indiscernible.

Each one was of better quality than any weapon she had ever seen in the mortal world.

Lin Qingxi was stunned.

Ignoring the stunned girl, Yu Zhiyi hesitated for a moment before deciding to first bind the highest quality nameless sword to her with her blood.

She transformed her finger into a sword, and with a casual stroke on her right middle finger, a drop of her essence blood floated into the air.

Just as he was about to drip his blood essence into the blood groove of the nameless sword, a tremendous force suddenly struck him violently.

Caught off guard, Yu Zhiyi stumbled, and the drop of blood missed its mark, falling onto the black staff.

A flying sword caught up from behind and quickly blocked the giant sword.

Lin Qingxi's face had turned pale.

She only had the cultivation level of Qi Refining Realm, and that collision almost sent her flying.

Fortunately, the greatsword had a protective shield, which prevented her from being smashed to pieces.

On the blue flying sword, three men revealed murderous intent towards Yu Zhiyi: "You're the one who killed my Gao family's members, aren't you?"

The middle-aged man at the head of the group was tall and imposing, and was actually a master at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

His aura erupted, and despite the protective shield on the giant sword, Lin Qingxi instantly knelt on the ground.

"Third Elder, it must be that bitch. The Spirit Gu Sect's tracking technique can't be wrong."

The other man looked Yu Zhiyi up and down, a wicked glint in his eyes: "Elder, this woman is quite good-looking, and she's only at the Golden Core stage, but she doesn't have any powerful background. She killed two members of our Gao family, so we'll have her give me a high price to have a hundred or two hundred more children."

The man in the lead looked thoughtful: "That makes sense."

The middle-aged man with the tattered robe on the left chuckled strangely twice: "Her talent and spiritual root must be quite good. Even if there is only a one in ten chance that the child born to such a woman will have the same talent as her, the strength of my Gao family will be greatly enhanced."

Lin Qingxi wanted to say something, but the three people opposite her, even the weakest one, were experts in the late Foundation Establishment stage. She, a nobody in the Qi Refining stage, didn't even have the courage to look them in the eye.

From the moment the three appeared, Yu Zhiyi remained detached.

It wasn't that the three people opposite her weren't threatening; it was just that the black stick had such a huge impact on her.

After the blood oath is performed, the owner gains complete control over the contracted item.

For example, with flying swords, after a cultivator forms a contract, they can easily discover the flying sword's materials, attack power, and greatest potential for development.

But she couldn't find anything out about this stick.

Not only could they not detect it, but at the moment of the contract, her golden core actually grew larger, and she instantly broke through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm, and was only one barrier away from the late stage.

The sudden surge in strength was as delightful as finding a large sum of spirit stones, to the point that Yu Zhiyi felt the three members of the Gao family in front of her had become more amiable.

How did you investigate me?

Apart from the transformation mirror of Suseokseong, she believed that she had left no trace.

Even though Gao Wenfeng's death would trigger the memory stone on the Trial Stone, she was facing away from Gao Wenfeng at the time, and she was struck by lightning and was unrecognizable.

She changed her clothes and hairstyle afterwards.

Logically speaking, even if the Gao family could find out her identity, it would take them a very long time.

The man in the blue robe on the right sneered: "You don't think that just because you've cleaned up all the traces, we won't be able to find you, do you?"

"The methods of masters in the hidden realm are beyond the comprehension of you lowly mortals. We have plenty of methods!"

Yu Zhiyi's brow twitched: "Get to the point."

"Get to the point? Fine." The blue-robed man on the right chuckled twice. "The point is, your Jiang family is gone! And you, for the next few hundred years, will have to pay the price for your crimes."

Yu Zhiyi's face suddenly darkened: "What do you mean the Jiang family is gone?"

"Can't you understand human language?" The man in the blue robe said smugly, "After we capture you and bring you back to the Gao family, we'll go to the mortal world and wipe out the Jiang family! This is your punishment!"

"So, you chased after me as soon as you spotted me?"
