A flash of annoyance crossed Ling Yue's eyes. She hadn't expected Han Yan to possess such a teleportation talisman. Now that he was gone, there was no way to catch him, and she had completely lost track of him. Finding him again would be incredibly difficult.
Given Han Yan's potential, he would undoubtedly become a major threat to the Ling family in the future. However, Ling Yue quickly realized that even if Han Yan escaped this calamity, the events of the past few days would become a torment to him, his greatest regret in life. This also served as a reminder to the Ling family members not to be arrogant or complacent, lest they lose their vigilance and discover that a hidden threat like Han Yan lurked in the shadows. They must be mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace, and strive to make the Ling family stronger to prevent a recurrence of this tragedy.
The battle between Han Lin and Ling Feng is far from over. Both are high-level cultivators, capable of manipulating the surrounding spiritual energy to replenish themselves. Their true essence is virtually inexhaustible, and having lived for hundreds of years, they each possess some kind of trump card. Therefore, their battle is unlikely to end anytime soon.
The city lord, who rushed over, didn't see Ye Xiruo at all. Instead, he witnessed a good show. Almost all the Han family's elite troops who came today were likely to be wiped out. Han Lei was dead, and Han Lin's fate probably wouldn't be good either. From today onwards, the entire Maple Forest City might be about to change. His days as city lord were going to be difficult, and he couldn't treat the Ling family as casually as before.
Since they didn't see the main character, the city lord didn't linger and quietly left with his trusted confidants. No one noticed the whole process, which shows that the city lord's level of cultivation was not as mediocre as he appeared.
Ignoring the grudges and feuds between the Han and Ling families, Ye Xiruo left the Ling family and went to a place to rent flying spirit pets. She rented a large white crane and leisurely flew towards the royal city, her destination.
Sitting atop her flying spirit pet, Ye Xiruo consumed several Rejuvenation Pills and began to slowly heal her injuries. Since getting entangled in the messy affairs of the Ling family, she had been working tirelessly every day. Without her Azure Yang True Qi and the pills she had personally refined, Ling Fengjue would have had no chance of breaking through. Oh well, she'd consider it an act of kindness for Xiaoxue's sake. As for the Ling family's half of their annual profits, that depended on Ling Feng's sincerity. If Ling Feng was truly ungrateful, she wouldn't mind going to reclaim what she had given to the Ling family.
The white crane looked plump and white, immediately reminding Ye Xiruo of Peking duck. After seeing Ye Xiruo's green eyes, the white crane couldn't help but shake its wings. This human is too terrifying.
If Ye Xi were to fall, she really wouldn't just pluck the white crane's feathers and make roast meat. Who would carry her to the royal city after she ate it? She's currently severely injured and truly can't fly.
Ye Xiruo took out a bottle of Beast Feeding Pills from her ring, poured out two pills, and fed them to the white crane. The white crane's pair of jet-black eyes instantly became incredibly bright, and its large white wings flapped incessantly, giving Ye Xiruo a face full of dust. It even rubbed its head against Ye Xiruo, its eyes showing obvious affection.
"Alright, alright, stop acting cute and clingy. Just fly high, and the rest is yours."
Seeing the white crane, Ye Xiruo missed Tianyi a little. She wondered how Tianyi was doing in the back mountain and whether he had grown up successfully.
Ye Xiruo sat on a large white crane and flew all the way to the royal city.
Two hours later, the silhouette of the royal city finally came into view in the distance. It had a landscape reminiscent of the Western Desert of my past life. The rugged and solemn city walls exuded an ancient and weathered feel. Two rows of guards stood guard at the city gate, strictly checking everyone entering and leaving. A tense atmosphere seemed to permeate the air.
What happened in the royal city? The guards all looked very serious, and their inspection was very thorough. Ye Xiruo jumped down from the white crane and gave it all the remaining beast-feeding pills. The white crane affectionately nuzzled against Ye Xiruo.
"Alright, you should go back now."
The white crane lingered in mid-air, looking longingly at Ye Xiruo, circling several times above her head before flapping its wings and flying away.
Ye Xiruo casually formed a queue and prepared to enter the city.
Because the effects of the disguise pill hadn't worn off yet, Ye Xiruo still looked like a disheveled, shriveled old man. Coupled with the messy, blood-stained clothes from his fight with Han Lin, he didn't look like a good person at all.
As a result, everyone in the group passed through smoothly, except for Ye Xiruo, who was questioned for a long time, and two guards even tried to search her body.
Ye Xiruo's eyes turned cold: "Insolence." The aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator spread out, and the two guards were knocked back several steps by the impact.
"When did the guards of the royal city become so arrogant?"
In this world where martial prowess reigns supreme, might makes right. High-level cultivators can take another's life at will, not to mention verbal insults.
The two guards were shocked. They hadn't expected that this unassuming, sleazy man was actually a Nascent Soul cultivator. They had really kicked a hornet's nest. They knelt down with a thud: "Please spare our lives, sir. Please forgive us this time, considering it's our first offense."
"roll."
Ye Xiruo flicked her sleeves and swaggered inside.
The streets here are very wide, with all sorts of vendors hawking their wares. Unfortunately, Ye Xiruo wasn't in the mood for a proper stroll. She found a large inn, booked a superior room, and instructed Xiao Er not to bother her unless necessary, or she would smash a table.
The waiter nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I definitely won't bother you." As expected, the senior with profound skills has an eccentric personality.
After the waiter left, Ye Xiruo sat down and began to heal her wounds.
At the same time, Jing Li, the two Supreme Elders, and Xiu Qiyu sat on Jing Li's immortal artifact and sped towards the Western Continent.
They were all very anxious and wanted to get to Ye Xiruo's side as quickly as possible, but the Western Continent was too far from the Central Continent. Even with Jing Li's immortal artifact, it would still take nearly two months.
Along the way, Jing Li and Xiu Qiyu simply couldn't stand looking at each other.
Jing Li: It's because that bastard Xiu Qiyu failed to protect Xiao Yezi that she ended up stranded on the Western Continent.
Xiu Qiyu: You must cultivate diligently until you are strong enough to protect Xiao Yezi. He is still too weak right now.
After flying for about twenty days, Xiu Qiyu's expression suddenly changed. Oh no, Xiao Yezi is injured! What happened? Wasn't she fine before? Could Xiao Yezi have encountered some danger?
“If anything happens to the third brother, I’ll be the first to hold you accountable.” These were Jing Li’s exact words.
It was obvious to everyone that Jing Li was taking his anger out on others, but no one could blame him.
