Feng Shao was not surprised that Leng Lingyue did not go after Chi Xuan. After all, Leng Lingyue was the top expert of Yunjian Pavilion, not Feng Shao's babysitter. It was good enough that she could help him get rid of Lu Yuan, but as for Chi Xuan, he had to deal with it himself.

Feng Shao turned around and cast his gaze towards the people from Jiuyou Holy Land who were still standing in the lobby and had not had time to leave.

The people of Jiuyou Holy Land thought that they came here just to see how their Holy Son acted, and they were used to it. But what they didn't expect was that Chi Xuan was sent away by Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan died at the hands of Leng Lingyue. Although Leng Lingyue had left, how many of these people in the hall were not famous geniuses in Dongzhou? With these people, could they escape unscathed?

Sure enough, at this time someone started to make a fuss against the people from Jiuyou Holy Land.

"These people from the Jiuyou Holy Land are all Chi Xuan's accomplices. We must not let them go!"

"That's right! Even though the main culprit has escaped, we can punish the accomplices!"

"You people from the Nine Nether Holy Land, don't even think about leaving today!"

"Don't you want to kill us? I want to see how you kill us this time!"

Everyone in the Jiuyou Holy Land turned pale and subconsciously cast their eyes on a woman among them who was dressed as a maid but was unexpectedly beautiful.

The woman's face was not looking good either, but she still gritted her teeth and bowed to Taixuan Saint Guan Shuo, saying in a deep voice: "Master Guan, we are just following the Saint's orders. We did not come here on purpose. We hope that Master Guan can spare us for the sake of our fellow cultivators."

Guan Shuo looked at the woman and suddenly asked, "Are you Zuo Linglan, the Saint of the Nine Netherworlds?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. They had also heard of the Nine Nether Saint Zuo Linglan. After all, she was as famous as Shao Yunqing and Han Lingxuan, and her reputation was even better than that of the Yunjian Pavilion Princess Lin Xiaoran. Unexpectedly, she was dressed as a maid today, blending in with the crowd like a servant. How could this not be surprising?

The woman was silent for a moment before she whispered, "Not bad."

Guan Shuo sighed and said, "I met Saint Zuo once a few years ago and was deeply impressed by her temperament. How come she has become like this now?"

Zuo Linglan smiled bitterly and said, "The past is too painful to recall, so it's better not to talk about it."

Guan Shuo nodded, tapped the table with his fingers, and said calmly: "In that case, let's talk business. We were having a good meal here, and suddenly someone from your Nine Nether Holy Land showed up to cause trouble. I wonder how Saint Zuo plans to deal with this?"

Zuo Linglan sighed and said, "I can compensate you for your losses. I just hope you can let my fellow apprentices go."

Guan Shuo did not answer directly, but turned to look at Feng Shao and asked: "Brother Feng, Chi Xuan was just repelled by you, and Lu Yuan was killed by Fairy Leng of Yunjian Pavilion. Why don't you decide how to deal with it!"

Everyone had no objection to Guan Shuo's suggestion. Although Feng Shao was not well-known, if he had not sacrificed the Nine Heavens Fire Cauldron just now, not only Xing Jue and Wu Zhen, but also others would have been affected. Therefore, among the people present, no one was more suitable than Feng Shao to decide how to deal with these people.

Feng Shao shook his head and said, "Let them go. There is no need to compensate them!"

Zuo Linglan opened her eyes wide and looked at Feng Shao in surprise.

Guan Shuo asked curiously, "Brother Feng, don't you want to punish these people from the Jiuyou Holy Land?"

Feng Shao said calmly: "Chi Xuan has been doing evil things, and he will be guilty of all the evil sooner or later. But whoever did the evil should bear the responsibility, and should not vent his anger on others."

"Brother Feng, don't you think they are also accomplices?" someone asked.

Feng Shao smiled and said, "With such a saint, even if you don't want to be an accomplice, you will have no choice but to become one."

Guan Shuo nodded and sighed, "Brother Feng, you have such a good temper. If it were me, I would never let the people from Jiuyou Holy Land go so easily."

Feng Shao smiled but said nothing.

He could already see from the expressions of the people in Jiuyou Holy Land that they were dissatisfied with Chi Xuan. They were just afraid to speak out because of Chi Xuan's power. If they were given a chance, Chi Xuan would die at the hands of his own people sooner or later.

So Feng Shao decided to make a hidden move. Although this hidden move might not work, it would not cause any harm.

As for compensation, it is meaningless. With someone like Chi Xuan around, it is estimated that all the good things will go to him. As for the other people in Jiuyou Holy Land, most of what they can take out are not good things. In this case, then just don't take them.

Zuo Linglan looked at Feng Shao deeply, then bowed and said, "I am grateful for your kindness. If I have the chance, I will repay you."

Everyone watched in silence as the people from the Nine Nether Holy Land filed out, and for a moment they were a little confused about Feng Shao's intentions. Only Fang Yiming looked at Feng Shao with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Senior sister, senior sister, maybe I understand you a little bit.

The atmosphere of the banquet changed a little because of Chi Xuan's sudden appearance. But for Feng Shao, this result was still good.

The Nine Nether Holy Land lost another elder. Although this incident might arouse the wrath of the Nine Nether Saint Lord, this was a matter between the Nine Nether Holy Land and the Yunjian Pavilion. Since Leng Lingyue dared to kill him, he would not be afraid of the Nine Nether Holy Land looking for trouble. Perhaps this result was already expected by Lin Fengtian and Xiao Ruoyao.

In addition, because Feng Shao helped them out, Xing Jue and Wu Zhen were both very grateful to Feng Shao. Buddhist monks believe in the cycle of cause and effect, and this time Feng Shao helped them, and both sides have established good karma. With this relationship as a bond, the relationship between Feng Shao and Yunjian Pavilion and Longhua Temple and Wuliang Temple will definitely be closer.

As for the others, although they did not directly benefit from Feng Shao, they witnessed Feng Shao's ability. Although Feng Shao relied mainly on the Nine Heavens Fire Cauldron to deal with Chi Xuan, the fact that he was able to obtain such a legendary artifact was enough to show Feng Shao's own strength. Even if it did not show his strength, it at least showed his luck. On the road of cultivation, luck is often more important than strength.

Therefore, at the subsequent banquet, Feng Shao became the person that everyone wanted to make friends with. Feng Shao also used this opportunity to expand his network of contacts.

Lin Xiaoran didn't say anything from beginning to end, but just looked at Feng Shao with a smile, his face full of pride.

After the banquet, Nine Yin Saint Fang Yiming approached Feng Shao privately and invited him to come to his place for a chat. Feng Shao hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Under the cover of night, Feng Shao came alone to the inn where Fang Yiming was staying.

After Fang Yiming casually asked Feng Shao to sit down, he took the initiative to make a cup of tea for Feng Shao and said, "Brother Feng, this cup of tea is just a token of my gratitude. I hope you won't despise it."

Feng Shao nodded and said, "Brother Fang is too modest."

As he spoke, Feng Shao picked up the teacup and took a sip. At first, he felt that the tea was bitter, but after savoring it carefully, he felt that his blood vessels were unblocked and his Qi flowed faster. Feng Shao couldn't help but exclaimed, "Good tea!"

Fang Yiming smiled and said, "This tea is a specialty of our Jiuyin Holy Land, called 'Qinglan Tea', which was cultivated by the Qinglan Saintess hundreds of years ago. If you can drink a cup of this tea while regulating your breath, it can greatly improve the efficiency of regulating your breath and achieve twice the result with half the effort. If Brother Feng likes it, I'll ask someone to bring you a pound later."

Feng Shao waved his hands and said, "How can I be so embarrassed? I have done nothing but accept no reward. I feel ashamed to be given such good tea for nothing!"

Fang Yiming shook his head and said, "Brother Feng, you are wrong. Although you and I have never met before, my sister has received great kindness from you. My sister's benefactor is the benefactor of Jiuyin Holy Land; the benefactor of Jiuyin Holy Land is my benefactor. Therefore, this mere tea, not only can you accept it, but it is far from enough to repay you for your kindness, so please don't refuse it."

Feng Shao could only nod and say, "If that's the case, then I'd be honored to refuse."

Fang Yiming smiled and suddenly asked, "Brother Feng, what do you think of my senior sister?"

"Brother Fang, are you asking about Miss Shao Yunqing?" Feng Shao asked.

Fang Yiming nodded.

Feng Shao pondered and said, "She is extremely talented and beautiful, a rare and extraordinary woman in the world!"

Fang Yiming smiled and said, "If someone else said this, I would just think he was flattering me. But when Brother Feng said this, I know that every word he said came from his heart."

Feng Shao also smiled and said, "Brother Fang trusts me so much, I feel a little ashamed."

Fang Yiming smiled at first, but then he sighed: "Brother Feng is a gentleman with a chivalrous heart, which is really admirable. But because of this, there is something that is really difficult to deal with."

Feng Shao asked doubtfully, "Why do you say that, Brother Fang?"

Fang Yiming said sternly: "Brother Feng, everyone in the world says that my sister is pure and has no desires, but few people know that my sister has already found someone in her heart. And that person is none other than Brother Feng."

Feng Shao was stunned: "Ah this..."

To be honest, being loved by a woman as stunning as Shao Yunqing would make any man feel a little flattered, and Feng Shao was no exception. But after the flattery, he became a little panicked.

I already have a fiancée, so how can I respond to Shao Yunqing's deep love?

Fang Yiming continued, "We in the Nine Yin Holy Land do not forbid lust. In order to get rid of our inner demons, we will even take the initiative to enter the mortal world. Either to find the love of our life, or to sever the roots of love. Therefore, if Brother Feng is interested in my sister, my sister may marry you."

Seeing that Fang Yiming didn't look like he was joking, Feng Shao couldn't help but sigh and said, "It is my honor to be loved by Miss Shao. But I already have a Taoist partner, so I am afraid that I will let Miss Shao down in terms of love."

Fang Yiming said, "For those of us who practice cultivation, we are not limited to having only one partner. It is not impossible for two women to share one man. Brother Feng, don't you want to consider it a little more?"

Feng Shao shook his head: "My heart is limited, and I can only let go of one person. If I can marry another person, although it would be a blessing to have two wives, but that is desire, not love. This is unfair to Ran'er, and even more unfair to Miss Shao."

Fang Yiming smiled bitterly and said, "I have already guessed Brother Feng's answer, but I still want to ask again. I don't know how I should convey Brother Feng's words to Senior Sister."

Feng Shao said helplessly: "Although I have failed Miss Shao's deep affection, there is nothing I can do about it. The tangled thread must be cut quickly, so I have to trouble Brother Fang to tell you the truth."

Fang Yiming nodded: "That's the only way."
