Not long after Ruan Xiyan left, a group of people dressed in light blue clothes arrived, seemingly belonging to the same faction.
"Senior Brother Jun, we heard the explosion from far away. You were the first to arrive. Did you find anyone or anything unusual?" a man asked.
"It's nothing serious," Jun Yu replied. "Let's go, let's meet up with the elders first, and then head to the imperial city of the Yunli Empire together."
In the capital city, the Luo family's affairs had been settled. Other aristocratic families that had been allied with or friendly with the Luo family were all eager to sever ties with them upon hearing of the Luo family's downfall.
A group of opportunists who were not to be feared; from then on, it was difficult for them to find a foothold in the imperial city.
"Why aren't they back yet?" Ling Zhiheng and Ling Jingyan, who had just returned from dealing with the powerful families, heard about Ruan Xiyan's situation and paced anxiously back and forth in the hall, unable to stay still for a moment.
"That's a self-destruction at the half-step Creation Realm. Even an imperial city could be razed to the ground by the power of the self-destruction. Will Yan'er be in danger dealing with it alone?"
"Pah, pah, pah! My sister is so clever, she won't be in any danger." Ling Zhiheng slapped Ling Jingyan on the head.
"You two stop spinning around, it's making me dizzy. Since Yan'er did that, she must have been confident. Let's just wait here for Yan'er to come back." Although Ling Haoyang's words were relaxed, his face still revealed a little tension and worry.
"Why are you all standing? Aren't there any chairs in the hall?" A teasing voice came from outside, and Ruan Xiyan walked in.
“Sister.” Ling Jingyan’s eyes lit up.
"Yan'er, are you injured?" Ling Zhiheng asked.
Ruan Xiyan spun around on the spot so they could see her clearly. "Don't worry, I'm fine. Big brother, how's the Luo family's situation?"
“It’s completely over,” Ling Haoyang replied. “However, the fact that this matter was resolved so quickly is largely thanks to the assistance of the Lin family, one of the three great families.”
The Lin family's businesses spanned the empire, they had extensive connections, and they were extremely wealthy.
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round, and the Lin family has many skilled men at their disposal.
"The Lin family doesn't interfere in royal affairs. I originally wanted to thank them properly for helping this time, but the young master of the Lin family said that he was just doing his duty as a friend to Yan'er."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiyan paused for a moment, then shook her head helplessly.
This guy is really stubborn, so single-minded!
"Yan'er, you don't need to worry about things in the capital. You should go and get some rest now," Ling Haoyang said, patting Ruan Xiyan's shoulder.
Ruan Xiyan nodded, "Then I'll go back first."
Xiyan Palace.
Ruan Xiyan sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating.
After her battle with Luo Xiong, the power she had been accumulating within her body had become more solid, and she might be able to break through.
The surrounding spiritual energy was absorbed into Ruan Xiyan's body, impacting the barrier within her body.
A sound of a barrier shattering was heard, and the power that Ruan Xiyan had used to break through the barrier instantly surged back up.
Eighth level of the Great Completion Realm!
Ruan Xiyan stretched lazily, loosening her muscles and bones.
Her spiritual consciousness entered the Wind Spirit Space.
As soon as I entered, I heard Feng Ling's angry roar, which also carried a hint of collapse.
"You! Attacked! Again! Believe me or not, I'll eat you too!"
Ruan Xiyan took a step towards the direction of the sound, "What's going on?"
Fengling and Biqiong were both gathered around the pond. Fengling had one hand on her hip and the other pointing at the koi in the pond. Her delicate little face was flushed with anger.
The koi looked at her with innocent eyes and even flicked its tail.
Ruan Xiyan looked at the pond and asked in confusion, "Huh? Where are the fish that Third Brother bought to keep the koi company?"
Feng Ling said angrily, "Master, you're asking this greedy koi!"
"The owner was afraid it would be lonely in the pond, so he put fish in it to keep it company. But it ate every fish he put in, and before you knew it, you couldn't even find the fish bones. It was like a cat that was stealing fish."
Feng Ling almost laughed at herself as she spoke, "Goodness, this is the first time I've ever seen something that eats its own kind."
Just as Ruan Xiyan was about to say something, a pitiful little girl's voice rang out from the pond.
“Sister Fengling, A-Li is not the same kind of fish as these stinky fish. A-Li is a noble koi.”
The koi suddenly spoke, startling Bi Qiong, who was standing nearby, so much so that she fell flat on her face.
Ruan Xiyan looked at the koi in surprise, "You can talk?"
She initially thought it was just an ordinary koi fish monster.
However, since it can speak, it must not be a low-blooded magical beast.
"Yes, Master, we koi are one of the noble races in the ocean, and we can speak from the moment we are born."
"Before, I was seriously injured and my strength was exhausted. I was in a semi-conscious state. Now, after resting in the Fountain of Life for a period of time, I have almost recovered."
The koi swam to the edge of the pond and said happily, "I also want to thank Sister Fengling for taking such good care of me."
Feng Ling crossed her arms haughtily, "Good to know."
She kept calling me "Sister Fengling," and for some reason, it made me feel really happy.
Bi Qiong rolled her eyes. "Tch! Another one vying for favor."
Yao Yao stood on Bi Qiong's head, "I'm so happy to have a new friend, Brother Bi Qiong."
"Little brat, get down here! How many times have I told you not to fly onto my head? You've messed up my hairstyle!"
"No, no, Yaoyao won't listen, Brother Biqiong is chanting sutras." Yaoyao shook her head, her paws bouncing back and forth on Biqiong's head, stomping on it several times.
A black line flashed across Bi Qiong's forehead as he roared at Feng Ling, "Feng Ling, did you teach her this?! You've corrupted such a good little thing!"
Feng Ling said gloatingly, "How could it be that I taught her? Yao Yao is still young. Little cubs don't lie; they only tell the truth."
Ruan Xiyan had always been alone, and she was a little unaccustomed to such a noisy scene.
However, this feeling did not annoy her; instead, she found everything in front of her very vivid and a novel experience.
Suddenly, the koi in the pond leaped out of the water, their scales radiating a golden light. After leaping over the dragon gate, the koi jumped back into the water.
Ruan Xiyan's consciousness went haywire for a moment, and she entered the space.
She looked down at her hands, then at the koi in the water.
She used to enter the space only in her spiritual sense, but now... her body has entered as well.
Feng Ling was not as composed as Ruan Xiyan. As the spirit of the Feng Ling Space, she knew the space's abilities better than anyone.
Because the space was contracted by the master, contracted beasts that have a contract with the master can enter.
However, apart from that, living people cannot enter the space.
Feng Ling asked incredulously, "How did you do that?"
