Ling Yun's face immediately turned cold, realizing that it was the Tianxuan Sect coming to retaliate.
However, he did not sense the aura of a powerful figure.
Curious, they followed the owner out of the inn, and A Bao and the others followed immediately.
Upon seeing the scene before him, Ling Yun's face immediately darkened.
The inn was packed with people, all of whom had brought their daughters.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, we promised you before that as long as you defeat Sima Xuankong, we would marry our daughters to you!"
"Hehe~ Fellow Daoist Ling, my daughter just turned sixteen this year. She's so beautiful, she's definitely a good match for you!"
"My daughter is also quite beautiful. She hasn't fully blossomed yet, but once she does, she'll be an absolute beauty that could bring ruin to a country!"
"..."
These people knew that Ling Yun's future achievements were limitless, and marrying their daughters to Ling Yun would definitely be a highly profitable deal.
Abao and Shangguan Hong exchanged glances, then looked at Ling Yun.
"Brother, with so many sisters-in-law all of a sudden, I can't possibly take care of them all!"
"My benefactor, if you're willing, I can take them in for you!"
Ling Yun gave them both a flick on the forehead, and was about to speak when...
Suddenly, Xiao Yanran drew her silver crescent blade, pointed it at the people outside, and angrily shouted:
"What's all this noise about in the middle of the night? Don't you want people to sleep? Get out of here!"
"This girl looks pretty but has such a bad temper; be careful no one will want her!"
"Exactly! She draws her sword at the drop of a hat, she has no manners whatsoever as a lady of a respectable family!"
"Just get out, why are you being so aggressive! Honestly!"
"..."
Seeing Xiao Yanran's murderous gaze, everyone immediately left, cursing and swearing, with their daughters.
"Hmph!" Xiao Yanran felt very uncomfortable when she saw these people wanting to marry their daughter to Ling Yun.
I don't know why I felt uncomfortable, but I just felt very uncomfortable, which is why I drew my knife to drive it away.
Feeling Ling Yun's gaze on her, Xiao Yanran's pretty face immediately flushed slightly, and she glared at Ling Yun.
"Don't get me wrong, I just find them annoying!"
After saying that, she went upstairs with a blush on her face.
Ling Yun chuckled to himself, wondering what the original owner's expression would be if she knew what Xiao Yanran looked like now.
Everyone exchanged smiles and returned to their rooms. Abao and Lingyun, however, didn't sleep. They spent the entire night teaching Abao the methods of swordsmanship.
At this moment, in the Tianxuan Sect of the Great Gan Dynasty.
Looking at the two shattered soul tablets, Sect Master You Tianyun's face was extremely gloomy, while the inner sect elder beside him roared:
"Sect Master, this man killed our Outer Sect Elder and an outstanding Inner Sect disciple. He must be killed by our own hand!"
You Tianyun raised his hand to stop him, a cold glint flashing in his eyes before he regained his composure.
"Sima Xuankong and the outer sect elder's soul tablets shattered almost simultaneously, indicating that this person's strength must be at the Nascent Soul stage."
Go check and see if the demon seed has been discovered. If not, return immediately; if so, send me a telepathic message.
The matter of the demonic seed must not be discovered, otherwise the Heavenly Profound Sect will face annihilation!
Now, everyone in the Tianxuan Sect, from the sect leader down to the outer disciples, has been implanted with demonic seeds. You Tianyun wants to wait for the demonic seeds to mature, then devour everyone's demonic seeds in order to break through to the Integration Realm, and then shatter the void to enter a higher level world in search of the path to immortality!
"Yes, sir!"
The inner sect elders immediately set off for the State of Zhao.
...
The next day, Lingyun and his group left the inn.
After a night of practice, A Bao's understanding of swordsmanship improved considerably.
The group prepared to leave Zhongling City.
Just then, an old man hurriedly called out to Lingyun.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, please wait!"
Ling Yun turned around and saw the owner of the whole roasted lamb restaurant, followed by dozens of waiters carrying ten whole roasted lambs.
The shopkeeper clasped his hands in a fist and smiled:
"Fellow Daoist Ling, thank you for restoring face for the cultivation world of Zhao Kingdom. Our humble shop has nothing to offer, but if you don't mind, please accept these ten plump whole roasted lambs!"
Ling Yun smiled and nodded, returning the greeting with clasped hands:
"Thank you, shopkeeper!"
Abao hurried over and put the ten roasted whole lambs into his spatial ring.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Yun and his group left Zhongling City.
Abao unfolded the map and addressed the crowd:
"The next city is called Liuxi City, which is three thousand li away from here."
Ling Yun joked:
"Is there no good food?"
Abao thought for a moment, then said seriously:
"There aren't any famous delicacies, but Willow Creek City is mostly populated by talisman masters."
"Huh? Didn't you say you could draw talismans?" Abao asked, remembering this.
Ling Yun nodded, "I know a little bit!"
Immediately, the group galloped towards Liuxi City.
On the way, Ling Yun sensed someone following him in the shadows, but he didn't care. If they dared to plot anything, he would just kill them.
The one secretly following Ling Yun was an inner sect elder of the Tianxuan Sect.
He hid in the shadows, watching Ling Yun and the others' backs as they walked away, following them at a leisurely pace.
"The highest level of these people is only the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Logically speaking, it is impossible for them to kill the outer sect elder instantly, and they can't even beat Sima Xuankong."
The Grand Elder of the Inner Sect felt uneasy, convinced that there must be a protector lurking in the shadows.
"It seems that only by stopping them can we force out the protectors!"
He stopped just as he was about to make his move; his cautious nature prevented him from acting rashly.
After thinking it over, the Grand Elder of the Inner Sect of Tianxuan Sect decided to stay and observe for a few more days.
He followed for five days, but still couldn't see a trace of the protector. As a powerful cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his divine sense was extremely sharp.
Under normal circumstances, a protector would be secretly protecting the area within a thousand miles. The absence of a protector indicates that Lingyun has no protector at all.
Upon realizing this, the inner sect elder's pupils suddenly contracted.
"To be able to instantly kill the Grand Elder of the Outer Sect without a protector, unless..."
His figure vanished instantly as he rushed back to the Tianxuan Sect.
Seven days later, Ling Yun and his group arrived in Liuxi City.
At this moment, inside the main hall of the Luoyun Sect, the sect leader sat slumped in a chair, his hair disheveled and his eyes bloodshot.
He looked extremely haggard. He had been on edge these past few days, worried that Ling Yun would come to wipe out his family.
For seven or eight days in a row, no one came to exterminate the clan. The sect leader knew that this was Ling Yun's punishment for him, making him live in constant fear.
They wouldn't even bother to destroy the insignificant Luoyun Sect.
"Sigh~" With a long sigh, the sect leader weakly called out towards the door:
"Remove the sect's protective formation, recall all disciples who are away, and seal off the Luoyun Sect for a hundred years!"
...
Ling Yun and his group entered Liuxi City, which was much smaller than Zhongling City, with a population of only ten million.
However, the streets were bustling with activity, filled with martial artists from all over Zhao who came to buy talismans.
Abao leaned close to Lingyun and whispered:
"Brother, I heard that the price of talismans is about the same as that of pills. A single ordinary talisman costs a thousand taels of silver."
"You know how to draw talismans, right? How about we rent a shop here and sell talismans for a few days?"
Ling Yun flicked A Bao on the forehead and said speechlessly:
"Are we really short of money right now?"
"Who would complain about not having enough money?" Abao said, feeling wronged.
Ling Yun thought for a moment and decided to buy a batch of talisman paper for future use.
