The underling, stunned, realized what was happening and chuckled sheepishly, "Sect Master, Sect Master, I'll definitely remember this next time."
"You're a sect leader?" Ruan Xiyan murmured in surprise.
Why didn't anyone tell her that the sect leader of the cultivation continent would have such a simple-minded appearance?
Even the underlings don't seem very bright. Is it any wonder this sect won't go bankrupt?!
Moreover, since it is a sect, it still needs the sect leader to go out and rob to make a living.
She's probably stumbled upon a fake cultivation world.
"You little girl, why are you talking so much nonsense? Quickly hand over your valuables. We just want money, we won't kill you. Hand over your things and we'll let you go."
"Consider this a lesson for you. As a young lady, it's best not to venture out alone in the turbulent cultivation world, or you'll encounter danger."
Lu Ji gave a smug and triumphant instruction.
"Since you are a young girl, we will not rob you of all your belongings and will leave you some money for your journey."
"Then you're quite kind," Ruan Xiyan sneered.
"I don't care if you're a bandit or a sect leader. No one can take a single thing from me unless I give it away willingly."
"This little girl is quite arrogant. She doesn't know what's good for her. She'll have to suffer for it." Lu Ji narrowed his eyes.
"Sect Master, we'll take care of this little girl for you." The henchmen behind him waved their weapons.
Lu Ji waved his hand, "No need, I'll do it myself."
He suddenly pulled the long sword stuck in the ground and held it in his hand.
Upon seeing Lu Ji's actions, Ruan Xiyan immediately became alert, and the Frostfall Sword appeared in her hand.
The man in front of them was, after all, the leader of a sect in the cultivation world.
Although he seems a bit silly and abnormal, his strength must be extraordinary, so we can't be careless.
Ruan Xiyan looked ready for battle.
Seeing that Ruan Xiyan's expression remained unchanged, Lu Ji secretly sighed, thinking that the young girl had a good attitude.
For a grown man to bully such a young girl, he must feel guilty; he's really not human.
However, for the sake of their livelihood, they had no choice but to do it against their conscience.
Lu Ji gripped his broadsword and charged towards Ruan Xiyan.
Ruan Xiyan was preparing to go all out when she saw that the man charging towards her with a large sword was at the seventh level of the Creation Realm, and she was stunned for a moment.
How come the sect leader of a sect in the great cultivation continent is only at the seventh level of the Creation Realm? Shouldn't he be at least at the Transcendent Realm or above?
Before Ruan Xiyan could figure it out, the man's figure had already appeared in front of her.
Ruan Xiyan easily blocked Lu Ji's attack.
An incredulous look appeared in Lu Ji's eyes.
Although he held back some of his strength, his attack was not something a weak little girl could withstand.
What's going on? This is really strange!
Lu Ji composed himself and continued his attack on Ruan Xiyan.
Ruan Xiyan's Frostfall Sword clashed with his broadsword.
Lu Ji was knocked back several steps, staggering unsteadily.
Ruan Xiyan moved swiftly and appeared in front of him.
Staring at the upturned corner of his mustache, it looked really awkward and irritating.
"Is that beard fake?"
Before Lu Ji could say anything after hearing Ruan Xiyan's words, he felt a sharp pain near his mouth as Ruan Xiyan ripped off his beard.
"Aww!" Lu Ji jumped up in pain, making strange noises.
He covered his mouth while glaring angrily at Ruan Xiyan, "It hurts like hell! You're so immoral, you actually pulled my beard."
Although he put that beard on himself.
However, to prevent it from falling off, he went to great lengths to securely fasten his beard to his face.
Now, being suddenly torn off without warning, the pain is truly excruciating!
"Little girl, you can hurt me, but you can't touch my beard! Let me tell you, you've really angered me."
Lu Ji took a deep breath, raised his broadsword, and charged towards Ruan Xiyan.
This time, he didn't hold back just because the opponent was a young girl; he went all out.
Before he even reached Ruan Xiyan, she swung her sword at him.
The sword energy, carrying an intense chill, attacked Lu Ji, who was charging towards him.
When Lu Ji sensed the power of the sword energy, it was too late to dodge.
He took the sword energy head-on and was sent flying.
He fell backward uncontrollably, knocking a group of his underlings standing behind him to the ground.
"metropolitan!"
"Sect Master, are you alright?"
Those people hurriedly helped Lu Ji up from the ground.
Lu Ji shivered and rubbed his hands together, saying, "Why is it so cold?"
As he spoke, a chilling sensation emanated from his mouth.
"Sect Master, your body is covered in ice!" someone exclaimed.
"You you you..." Lu Ji pointed at Ruan Xiyan, his words somewhat incoherent. He quickly used his spiritual power to shatter the frost spreading across his body.
Even so, he still felt a chill running through his body.
He was about to ask who Ruan Xiyan was when he saw the power emanating from her.
"Nine...nine levels of the Creation Realm?!" Lu Ji stammered, "Just who are you?!"
Such a young, monstrous genius at the ninth level of the Creation Realm.
Aside from the carefully nurtured disciples of powerful factions, they were also geniuses from a reclusive clan.
Someone with such strength must have powerful connections.
Thinking of this, Lu Ji was instantly filled with regret.
Did I not check the almanac before going out today? How did I end up robbing someone like this?
If things go wrong, he and all his men could be finished.
Why don't we run away now? We should still have time.
Lu Ji winked at his underlings behind him, signaling them to run away in a bit.
Unfortunately, his underlings couldn't understand it at all.
"Sect Leader, what's wrong with your eyes? Do you feel uncomfortable?" one of the underlings asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing this, if the occasion weren't so inappropriate, Lu Ji would have loved to pin the person to the ground and give them a good "teachers' lesson."
"If you don't want your legs anymore, feel free to do whatever you want."
Ruan Xiyan's cool voice reached Lu Ji's ears.
The voice was clearly pleasant to hear, but to Lu Ji at that moment, it was more terrifying than a demon.
Lu Ji immediately turned around and said flexibly, "This lady... no! This sir, it is my ignorance that I failed to recognize you, such a great figure."
"Please forgive our rude behavior, considering we were ignorant and innocent."
"You may use this road!" Lu Ji gestured for him to pass.
