Wen Shi withdrew his gaze only after Leng Yan's figure disappeared from view completely, and turned to head towards the imperial city.
After Leng Yan left, she found a secluded place. After looking around to make sure there was no one around, she took out a piece of talisman paper and inputted spiritual power.
As spiritual power was injected into the talisman paper, it emitted a blue light and then quickly flew in one direction. Seeing this, Leng Yan followed.
The aura of several evil cultivators from earlier was present in that Dao Mansion. However, when they reached a fork in the road, the spiritual power in the talisman split into three, pointing to different places.
Seeing this, Leng Yan felt a little embarrassed. These three people were in different places and it would take her too long to find them, which would be disadvantageous to her.
Just as Leng Yan was wondering what to do, the communication jade slip suddenly lit up. After Leng Yan answered the call, Xing Luo's slightly excited voice came from the jade slip: "Jiayang, guess where I am now?"
Hearing her say this, Leng Yan suddenly felt something was wrong. Sure enough, the next second, Xing Luo's voice rang out again: "You didn't expect it, but I'm here too. I'm at the City Lord's Mansion now."
Leng Yan suddenly felt a headache. She asked, "Who came with you?"
Xing Luo said, "Who else could it be? Of course it's Mo Qinglan." Leng Yan understood. She had heard a lot about Xing Luo and Mo Qinglan in the past five years. She heard that the two of them were planning to become Taoist couples, so it was not surprising that Mo Qinglan would accompany Xing Luo.
Leng Yan rubbed his brows and said, "Wait for me in the City Lord's Mansion first. I will be back soon."
He then hung up the phone, put the talisman back into his sleeve, and turned to head towards the City Lord's Mansion.
After a while, Leng Yan returned to the City Lord's Mansion. As soon as she reached the door, Xing Luo heard the sound coming out.
The moment he saw Leng Yan, Xing Luo walked around Leng Yan, and then exclaimed in admiration: "Our beauty Jiayang has become more beautiful, but why is she still single?"
Leng Yan helplessly held her forehead and changed the subject in a light tone: "What are you doing here?"
Xing Luo's expression immediately turned serious. "I heard from His Majesty that you came to Jiangnan to deal with the flood. I thought it would be difficult for you to handle it alone, so I came here."
Leng Yan nodded in understanding. She looked at Xing Luo's attire. Xing Luo was wearing a red suit, her long black hair tied in a ponytail. It was obvious that she had come in a hurry.
Leng Yan said, "Let's go in and talk." Then she and Xing Luo walked inside together. The City Lord and Mo Qinglan followed behind them.
After Leng Yan entered the house, he looked at the city lord standing beside him and said, "Please trouble the city lord to go out. I want to discuss something with Xing Luo." After hearing this, the city lord bowed and went out, closing the door when he left.
After the door closed, Leng Yan looked at Xing Luo and asked, "What happened that brought you here?" Xing Luo nodded solemnly and said, "Indeed, when I came here, I discovered the presence of evil cultivators. But my cultivation level is too low, so I couldn't detect their whereabouts. That's why I came to find you."
Leng Yan nodded after hearing this and said, "I was also tracking those people at the time, but they were in different directions and it was inconvenient for me to go alone."
After hearing this, Xing Luo immediately asked, "How many people are there in total? What is their cultivation level?"
Leng Yan said, "There are three of them in total. The most advanced one is in the late Jindan stage, and the other two are in the late Foundation Establishment stage."
After hearing this, Xing Luo said, "How about Jiayang, each of us three will follow in a different direction?" Leng Yan said, "I can do that. What do you think, Daoist Mo?"
Mo Qinglan looked at Xing Luo and said, "Everyone has the right to punish evil cultivators. I naturally have a responsibility."
After hearing this, Leng Yan nodded and said, "That's it." Then he took out two talismans from his sleeve and said, "Follow the direction indicated by the talismans and you will find the evil cultivator." After saying that, he gave the talismans in his hand to the two people respectively.
The two took the talisman paper and were about to leave when Leng Yan stopped them again. Leng Yan said, "Your cultivation is too low, so it would be helpful to have some more things to protect yourself."
As he said that, he each took out a few stacks of talisman paper and gave them to Xing Luo and Mo Qinglan.
The two of them took it, thanked him, and left. Leng Yan followed him out. When the city lord saw Leng Yan coming out, he immediately went to meet him and asked, "Your Highness, where are you going?"
Leng Yan said, "I'm going to go out and check out the situation in various places." The city lord immediately asked, "Then your highness, I'll prepare a carriage for you." Leng Yan said, "No need."
After saying that, he left. After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Leng Yan took out the talisman paper again and rushed in the direction indicated by the talisman paper again.
Leng Yan was very fast, arriving in less than an hour. She looked at the dilapidated temple before her, untied her hairband and tied it into a ponytail. Since she no longer needed to wear palace attire, she changed into a formal outfit.
Leng Yan didn't wear a belt around her waist, but a girdle instead, which made her slender waist show through.
After doing all this, Leng Yan walked straight into the dilapidated temple. All the restrictions along the way had no effect on her at all, and she was like walking into an empty place.
At this time, Minglan was recuperating in the temple and was unaware of Leng Yan's entry. Leng Yan entered the temple silently.
Leng Yan entered the temple and quietly looked at Minglan who was coughing there, with indifference still in her eyes.
At this time, the body that Minglan had originally taken over was no longer usable, so she could only use her original body. However, because she was severely injured by Leng Yan, her appearance was now haggard and her face was as pale as white paper.
At this time, Minglan was cursing something in a low voice. Leng Yan could tell that she was being cursed at her, but she didn't care at all. Along the way, she had not only received praise and admiration from others, but she had also heard a lot of malicious slander, but she never cared.
She practiced the Way of Ruthlessness, and her emotions were inherently indifferent. In addition, the Way of Ruthlessness was a way of cultivation from ancient times, and very few people knew about it. It was normal for her to be regarded as an alien.
Minglan kept coughing and suddenly felt a chill. Years of experience made her immediately feel that something was wrong.
She pulled out a whip beside her, only to see a murderous aura emanating from it. Minglan glanced around but didn't see anyone. She shouted coldly, "Who's hiding here? Come out."
After saying that, his nerves became tense, but a long time passed and still nothing happened, there was only the whistling sound of the wind blowing through the dilapidated temple.
Her nerves gradually relaxed, and just as she was about to put away the whip and lie down, she saw someone sitting on the shoulders of the Buddha statue in front of her.
The man had a handsome face, with a faint smile on the corners of his lips, and his eyes were charming against the backdrop of the red mole at the corners of his eyes.
Leng Yan smiled faintly and said in a calm tone:
"Long time no see. You look so miserable."
Minglan stared at Leng Yan and asked viciously, "How did you get in?"
Leng Yan put away her smile and said lightly: "Your cultivation still needs to be improved." As she spoke, she slightly closed her palms, and instantly all the restrictions set up in and around the temple were shattered. Leng Yan withdrew her hands and looked at Minglan and said:
"Human sacrifice, even if you die a few times, it's still not enough."
