Dugu Cheng breathed a heavy sigh of relief and bowed deeply to Ling Yun once again.
"Thank you for showing mercy, senior!"
As he spoke, he pointed two icy fingers toward the direction of Dongfang Yun.
In an instant, Dongfang Yun's body exploded.
After doing all this, Dugu Cheng glanced at the Spirit Sword Sect, then at the disciples kneeling on the ground, and finally at Sword Immortal City, his eyes filled with longing and reluctance.
Three breaths later, his figure completely disappeared, leaving no trace in the world.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Ancestral Master!"
The Lingjian Sect disciples, their faces filled with grief, bowed devoutly in the direction where Dugu City had disappeared.
With a wave of his hand, Ling Yun restored the ten-thousand-foot-long sword to normal and returned it to Li Changqing's scabbard.
"Thank you for sparing my life, senior. I will definitely turn over a new leaf and never again bully the weak because of the past glory of the Spirit Sword Sect."
Li Changqing bowed deeply to Ling Yun from the bottom of his heart.
Ling Yun nodded slightly, preparing to leave.
At this moment, Li Changqing flew up and respectfully presented a spatial ring.
"Senior, there are 10,000 top-grade spirit stones, 10 Heaven-rank swords, and 100 kinds of rare and precious materials in the space ring."
Please don't look down on this; it's the best treasure the Spirit Sword Sect could offer.
Ling Yun glanced at the spatial ring and took it.
"Take care of yourself!"
"Respectfully seeing you off, senior!"
Li Changqing, along with disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, respectfully saw off Ling Yun and his two companions.
The three landed at the city gate, and Yan Ruyu said with some annoyance:
"Brother, maybe I should wear a mask or a veil to cover my face, otherwise I might encounter something like this again in the future."
Having a stunningly beautiful face was both a blessing and a curse for Yan Ruyu.
It was alright when we were in Yuanling City, because with the Yan family around, no one dared to covet me. But it was different outside. What if someone Lingyun couldn't defeat coveted me?
Should I put Ling Yun in danger for my sake?
Yan Ruyu did not want to see this happen.
Ling Yun knew what Yan Ruyu was thinking and smiled:
"It's not your fault you're beautiful! Show it off boldly, with me here, no one can bully you!"
Ah Bao chimed in:
"Yes, sister-in-law, eldest brother is invincible!"
Ling Yun's face darkened, and he tapped A Bao on the forehead, laughing and scolding:
"Don't talk nonsense, Miss Yan is still an unmarried girl!"
Yan Ruyu said shyly in a low voice:
"Little brother Abao, if you keep yelling like that, I... I won't talk to you anymore!"
Abao scratched his head and said matter-of-factly:
"I think you two are a good match!"
Ling Yun grabbed his ear and led him into Sword Immortal City:
"Didn't you say that the braised pork in Sword Immortal City is the best in Zhao? Let's have a good taste!"
...
Inside the Immortal Martial Academy, Han Yu, the second elder of the outer sect, looked at his five prized disciples with a gloomy face and said coldly:
"Has so much time passed and you still haven't found Ling Yun's location?"
"Master! We only found out that Ling Yun appeared in Kowloon City, and then we lost all information about him!"
Kowloon City?
Han Yu frowned in thought. After a moment of silence, she looked at the disciple before her and said in a deep voice:
"The Dean is only one step away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm and becoming the most powerful person in the entire Zhao Kingdom. He will only need to become a Wood Spirit Witch to achieve this."
I must obtain the Wood Spirit Witch. I suspect that Ling Yun may be traveling from north to south to the Great Gan Empire, and he will definitely pass through Zhongling City.
"From now on, the bounty will be doubled, calling upon all cultivators of the Zhao Kingdom to gather in Zhongling City and kill Ling Yun!"
"Yes, sir!"
The five disciples prepared to carry out the order, but Han Yu waved his hand and suddenly asked:
Why hasn't Xiao Yanran returned to the Immortal Martial Academy yet?
One disciple hesitated for a moment and said:
"Master, you just returned and don't know yet, but Xiao Yanran's mother sent a letter to the academy saying she's withdrawing from the Immortal Martial Academy!"
"Withdraw from Immortal Martial Academy?" Han Yu frowned slightly. "I understand, let her go!"
...
After spending a day in Sword Immortal City, Ling Yun and his companions left. A Bao unfolded a map and said:
“Brother, sister-in-law… Sister Ruyu, the next city is Zhongling City, but it’s ten thousand miles away from here, with only a dozen or so small towns in between.”
Ling Yun looked at the map and found that Zhongling City was surrounded by dense primeval forests, which was obviously a world of monsters.
Let's go!
Abao put away the map and looked at Lingyun with an innocent expression.
Seeing his expression, Ling Yun said irritably:
"Just say what you have to say!"
Ah Bao chuckled sheepishly:
"Ahem~ Didn't you say you were going to teach me and my sister-in-law, no, Sister Ruyu, how to fly on a sword?"
Yan Ruyu's eyes lit up, and she looked at Ling Yun with anticipation.
"Alright~ but I'll only give you fifteen minutes to fly on your swords."
Alright!
"Thank you, brother!"
The two of them immediately beamed with joy.
With a wave of his hand, Ling Yun conjured two long swords that floated in the air.
"Go up, don't worry about falling."
The two tentatively stepped onto the sword and found it to be very stable, with a force balancing their bodies.
Ling Yun smiled and said:
"Get out of here!"
With a whoosh!
A Bao and Yan Ruyu soared into the sky.
Ah~
When they first took off, the two of them were really scared and didn't dare to open their eyes.
They quickly adapted and began to enjoy the freedom of soaring through the world on their swords.
Especially Yan Ruyu, dressed in white and wielding a sword with unparalleled elegance, made Ling Yun slightly lose his composure. He felt that the word "fairy" was tailor-made for Yan Ruyu.
Fifteen minutes later, A Bao and Yan Ruyu landed, still feeling quite unsatisfied.
"Brother~ Can we do it again?" Abao asked excitedly.
Ling Yun gave him a flick on the forehead and said with a smile:
"Once you've mastered the cultivation method I've given you to the point where you can control your internal energy, I'll teach you how to fly on a sword!"
"And what about me?" Yan Ruyu asked expectantly.
"When you awaken the Phoenix's innate divine power, you will be able to fly on the wind!"
Wow~ That's great!
"Let's go, it's a long way!"
The three mounted their horses and galloped towards Zhongling City, thousands of miles away.
...
Three days later, in Sword Immortal City, a woman dressed in a green dress, with a graceful figure and a veil on her head, was enjoying the city's specialty braised pork in a tavern.
Just as I picked up a piece and put it in my mouth, I saw two martial artists walk into the shop, sit down, and begin to talk quietly.
The woman slightly tilted her ear and overheard the conversation, her expression immediately changing.
"Have you heard? The Immortal Martial Academy has doubled the bounty to capture Ling Yun alive and obtain the Wood Spirit Witch."
"Hehe, if we get the bounty, it will be enough for us to cultivate to the level of a cultivator."
"That's right, hurry up and eat before heading to Zhongling City. Warriors from all over Zhao are rushing there right now, or there won't be anything left!"
"..."
After listening, the woman silently swallowed the braised pork, placed a silver ingot on the table, hurriedly left the restaurant, jumped on her horse, and galloped towards Zhongling City.
The two men immediately frowned slightly.
"I awakened the soul of the Listening Beast. That woman was with Ling Yun. She must have gone to inform Ling Yun!"
"Hurry and chase after them! If we can capture Ling Yun alive beforehand, the bounty will be ours!"
Immediately, the two martial artists at the sixth level of Martial Soul Realm rode their horses and followed the woman's aura.
