Lin Qianqian woke everyone up and told them to guard the mall. She then went outside alone. After sensing her location, she used a teleportation technique and appeared at the mall entrance in just a few seconds, carrying a half-human, half-beast creature.
This was clearly a beast-transformation ability user, capable of transforming into a mountain-drilling pangolin, intending to dig an underground tunnel to enter from underground. However, the mall's protective shield was all-encompassing, triggering its alarm function the moment it touched it.
Lin Qianqian was annoyed by people who disturbed her rest. She waved her hand and threw a seed into the open space by the door. She then used a wood-type spell, and in a few breaths, the seed turned into a tree more than ten meters tall with vines hanging from its branches.
With a thought, Lin Qianqian sent several vines out and wrapped them around the superhuman. Round and round they went, and no matter how hard the superhuman tried, he couldn't break free. Soon he was exhausted and hung on the tree like a piece of dried meat.
Seeing Lin Qianqian's nonchalant actions, the others raised their expectations of her abilities and the level of danger she posed.
This seed-inducing technique wasn't particularly advanced; she used a spirit-seed vine tree from the Cloud Void Realm. This plant, resembling both a tree and a vine, had tall, thick branches that grew only vines, not leaves. The long, drooping vines were tough and poisonous, capable of paralyzing the nerves. Prey caught by them were either strangled or drained of their blood by the sharp thorns on the vines, their corpses becoming nourishment for the tree.
In the dead of night, Lin Qianqian had no interest in interrogating him. She instructed the vine tree to show mercy. Since he wouldn't die immediately, she would leave him hanging until tomorrow.
After everything was settled, Lin Qianqian gestured for everyone to go back and rest, as they would be opening for business again tomorrow.
Just as she turned around, before Lin Qianqian even stepped into the mall, the ground shook violently, and spikes of earth shot up from beneath her feet, trying to pierce her through. At the same time, dozens of fireballs rained down from the sky, indiscriminately attacking the mall entrance.
Are they trying to skewer her like barbecue? What a disgusting and perverted act!
Seriously, when will this ever end? Can't a person get a break? Unforgivable!
Lin Qianqian unleashed her Green Wood Sword, slicing away all the earth spikes with a single strike. The fireball was deflected back by the protective shield as it approached the house.
Then Lin Qianqian released her divine sense and flew her sword towards a certain place in the forest. Before long, screams came from there. Lin Qianqian communicated with the trees in the distance, asking them to drag the people over and hang them on the vines, dead or alive.
After the commotion, no one was in the mood to sleep. Tang Yingying recognized some of the people and asked Lin Qianqian if they should be taken to the Superpower Guild for disposal. Lin Qianqian said no, just leave them there as a warning to others, to see if anyone else would dare to come and die.
She originally planned to close the shop for half a day the next day to rest, as everyone was exhausted after everything that had happened. However, the Qiming team refused, saying that they were all superhumans and wouldn't be affected by not sleeping for a few days. They decided to tidy up and open early, as they expected even more people to come today.
Lin Qianqian thought about it for a moment and agreed that it made sense, so she let them go. Seeing that it was almost dawn, she brought out a table full of food and let everyone eat and drink their fill first.
As expected, before dawn, groups of people had already started queuing up.
Before long, Ming Hua arrived with the other team members, and Lin Qianqian provided them with breakfast.
The Qiming Squad consists of 23 people. Fifteen of them, including Qilier, stayed at the mall to help out, while the others were led by Mingtianhua to other cities to distribute flyers and promote the guild via the guild's teleportation array. All expenses were paid by Lin Qianqian.
She also gave each of them a boxed lunch and two pieces of fruit, which served as a staff meal. Everyone was overjoyed, and he said he would definitely eat at the entrance of the Superpower Guild, where there were the most people.
Seeing that everything was arranged, Lin Qianqian opened the door to the mall.
A large crowd had already gathered outside, pointing and commenting on the dozen or so people in the tree. Seeing the mall doors open, they immediately dispersed, not bothering to watch the spectacle; this kind of thing was common in this world, and queuing to buy things was the priority.
Because we increased manpower today, we made some adjustments so that we can let 30 people in at once.
However, Lin Qianqian felt she had forgotten something. Until the sun rose, more than a dozen people walked menacingly towards the mall, clearly intending to cause trouble.
Tang Yingying quickly ran over and said, "That's Wu Tianshan, the city lord of Yuecheng. The fat guy you beat up yesterday is his nephew. His guards are at least level five or six."
The gray-haired old man behind him was his head butler, a seventh-tier special ability user. Wu Tianshan himself was also a seventh-tier mental ability expert. "You need to be careful."
Lin Qianqian nodded, now she understood; that was exactly what she had forgotten. Yesterday she was wondering why the fat man's backer hadn't come looking for trouble, and here he is—it's like the old man coming after the young one.
However, she wasn't afraid. Tang Yingying had explained to her that in this world, the seventh rank was considered the highest level of experts, and the branch leaders of various superpower guilds were basically all at the seventh rank.
Ma Bozhou was also at the seventh rank yesterday, but with the things he bought yesterday, he will soon be able to purify the impurities in his body and will soon be able to advance to the eighth rank, entering the ranks of top powerhouses. There are not many ninth-rank powerhouses in the world of superpowers, and there are also legendary tenth-rank powerhouses.
The world generally assesses cultivation levels up to the ninth rank; realms beyond the ninth rank are generally inaccessible to ordinary people. Based on yesterday's battle, she deduced that the seventh rank should be roughly equivalent to the Golden Core realm, and the ninth rank roughly corresponds to the Nascent Soul stage.
She told the others not to leave the gate, and stood alone at the entrance. The newcomer was no weaker than her, and the outcome of a fight was uncertain, especially since he had several skilled fighters with him.
But she is a cultivator, and she can't hide from trouble; that would be detrimental to her future cultivation. Therefore, she needs to meet the experts of this realm!
If she can't win, she'll immediately run back to the mall. It's only a few steps away, and these few people can't stop her if she wants to escape, unless they are superhumans several levels higher than her, they can catch her instantly.
Once she returns to the mall, she will be invincible; no one can harm her there. Besides, she can also hide in the Cloud Void Realm.
It's true that you can't make a deal by crossing dimensions without some strength; ordinary people simply can't survive more than a few dimensions.
Fortunately, I persevered while receiving the inheritance in the Immortal Abyss Realm and gained some ability to protect myself; otherwise, I would have been in grave danger in this situation.
The group of people arrived in front of Lin Qianqian while she was lost in thought. Wu Tianshan was a stern-faced old man. Yesterday, his most beloved nephew was beaten and thrown into the forest. He and his men searched for him for half the night and treated him for the rest of the night. Only this morning did he have time to come and settle accounts with the perpetrators.
He walked up to Lin Qianqian without saying a word, stared at her for a few seconds, and then launched a sneak attack with his superpower. Lin Qianqian felt dizzy and swayed, and was about to fall down.
Seeing that his sneak attack had succeeded, Wu Tianshan snorted, "It's your good fortune that my nephew has taken a liking to you. How dare you resist? You're courting death. Take him away!" With that, he turned to leave.
At that moment, the emerald green jade in the center of Lin Qianqian's necklace glowed slightly. She felt a cool sensation emanating from the jade and traveling to her brain, quickly relieving her dizziness.
At this moment, the system's mechanical voice sounded: "Host, someone has ambushed you. You have been subjected to a mental attack. Wake up quickly."
Of course she knew she'd been ambushed! Damn it! She wasn't vigilant enough!
The old man also sensed something was wrong. He turned around and saw that Lin Qianqian had already woken up. "Huh, she woke up in an instant?"
"Hey, you head!" This is outrageous! Lin Qianqian, regaining her senses, was furious. Without this Soul Jade, she was doomed!
Is Aunt Lin Qianqian someone who suffers a loss? Of course not, she's a fairy who retaliates in kind.
