A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

Lin Yang smiled and shook his head, politely declining the shopkeeper's invitation once again.

Joining a family will somewhat affect one's freedom of choice.

He has now gotten used to the life of a hermit.

As for advanced magic array inheritances, there are many other ways to obtain them.

After leaving the Yun family's shop, Lin Yang returned to his residence and began to focus on cultivation, striving to break through to the fourth level of the Dao Realm.

After a period of time, he naturally broke through to the fourth level of the Dao.

"While I've just broken through and am in excellent condition, I'll refine a high-level killing formation."

After the breakthrough, Lin Yang immediately took out the advanced array flags and began to refine the advanced killing array that he had comprehended above the Dao level.

I failed twice and succeeded six times.

The success rate can be described as quite high.

Lin Yang then emerged from seclusion.

He didn't intend to sell these advanced magic arrays to the Yun family's shops again, but instead planned to exchange resources with Shi Jie and others.

Yes, so much time has passed, and everyone has accumulated some resources, planning to have another small gathering to exchange them.

Lin Yang left the stronghold of the rogue cultivators and headed to Baichi City.

He was the first to arrive again this time. After waiting for a few days, Shi Jie and Xin Hao arrived one after the other.

Li Liping did not come this time.

Firstly, he was a disciple of a sect, and sometimes his movements were not so free.

Secondly, because he hasn't been able to refine higher-quality Dao weapons yet, he won't come to exchange supplies for now.

Shi Jie and Xin Hao exchanged all the resources they had accumulated for Lin Yang, and used them to purchase intermediate and advanced magic arrays.

"With Brother Lin Yang's arrays, it will be much safer to go out in the future," Shi Jie chuckled.

Xin Hao nodded as well.

They were both members of the same family, unlike Lin Yang who was more free. Sometimes they had to do certain tasks, and with the magic array around them, their safety was greatly improved.

"You two should prioritize your own safety and not risk your lives too much," Lin Yang advised.

The two men exchanged a glance and nodded: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist, we both understand."

Lin Yang didn't say anything more, and the three of them toasted each other.

A few days later, the gathering came to an end.

Lin Yang did not immediately return to the stronghold of the rogue cultivators, but instead went to a large shop in the city.

He needed to buy more high-level array flags and other supplies, but it wasn't very convenient to always trade with the Yun family's shop.

I'll buy a few more things while I'm in Baichi City.

Over the years, he has sold magic arrays and exchanged a lot of resources with Shi Jie and Xin Hao, so he now has a small amount of savings.

"The materials for the Dao Fire Pill also need to be prepared in advance."

As Lin Yang was thinking, he suddenly caught sight of a person hurrying out of the shop.

With just one glance, Lin Yang's heart skipped a beat.

"This guy... he seems kind of familiar?"

Lin Yang stared at the person's back. The other person had a cultivation level of the ninth level of the Dao Fire Realm, and his face was completely unfamiliar.

But Lin Yang had a strange feeling that he had seen it somewhere before.

This left him somewhat puzzled.

Just as he shook his head, thinking it might be his imagination, he seemed to realize something in a flash, and his eyes changed instantly.

"This figure's aura is somewhat similar to the black-robed man we ambushed back then..."

Lin Yang's heart skipped a beat, and in an instant he understood why it felt somewhat familiar.

Although the black-robed man who ambushed them back then never showed his face, Lin Yang still trusted his intuition at this moment.

The intuition of advanced cultivators is very accurate!
Immediately, he changed direction, disregarding the need to purchase resources, and silently disappeared into the crowd, chasing after the guy.

He wanted to see who this person was.

They followed him, and soon the man seemed to sense something, frequently turning back. Clearly, this guy's intuition was quite sharp.

Lin Yang dared not follow too closely anymore.

Mainly because he was in the city, he couldn't completely hide.

There are many experts in the city, and if we arouse the curiosity of some powerful individuals, things could easily go wrong.

So he simply maintained a normal level of performance, so as not to attract the curiosity and attention of others.

Before long, Lin Yang saw the other party meet up with the others in the distance.

The two sides were talking about something.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yang's expression changed slightly. He immediately retreated quickly, blending into the crowd and disappearing into a nearby shop.

Without him.

This was because among the group that guy had joined, there was someone at the Dao Fire Realm.

If you can't completely hide, it's easy for the other party to discover your secrets.

Fortunately, he couldn't release his senses over a large area within the city, otherwise he would have been exposed immediately.

After entering the shop to hide, Lin Yang's heart skipped a beat.

Because two of those people were wearing the disciple robes of the Rainbow Micro Sect!
"A disciple of the Rainbow Cloud Sect? They deliberately disguised themselves as members of the Heavenly Kun Sect to ambush and kill us?!"

Lin Yang took two deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down, but he was still very shocked.

The Hongwei Sect has always maintained a relatively calm and neutral stance, and even has a good reputation, yet they actually did such a thing!

Lin Yang's eyes flashed: "What a fine Rainbow Micro Sect."

The entire Baichi City region knows about the rivalry between the Moon Shadow Sect and the Heavenly Kun Sect. Although the Rainbow Micro Sect's move is risky, as long as it's done cleanly, no one will suspect that it was the Rainbow Micro Sect who did it. No matter who it is, they will subconsciously think that it was the Heavenly Kun Sect who did it.

At this moment, Lin Yang even suspected that the Rainbow Micro Sect might have secretly played a significant role in pushing the Moon Shadow Sect and the Heavenly Kun Sect to their current state of conflict.

The reason they did this is simple: if the Moon Shadow Sect and the Heavenly Kun Sect fought to the death, they could naturally reap the benefits.

The problem is, haven't the Moon Shadow Sect and the Heavenly Kun Sect discovered this all these years?

This puzzled Lin Yang.

"Is it that they know nothing at all, or that they know a little bit, but given the current situation of the two factions, they can't care about anything else and can only grit their teeth and fight each other?"

Lin Yang muttered to himself.

They were also hesitant about whether to tell the Moon Shadow Sect about this.

Although he is no longer a disciple of the Moon Shadow Sect, the Rainbow Micro Sect was so ruthless back then that none of the new disciples, except for him, Shi Jie, Xin Hao, and Li Liping, survived.

Perhaps the Rainbow Micro Sect is still thinking of finding an opportunity to eliminate the four of them completely, so as to avoid exposing anything.

However, the Moon Shadow Sect is already preoccupied with its own problems, so it's unlikely they'll directly clash with the Rainbow Micro Sect now.

Another point is that there is no direct evidence!
Although Lin Yang was certain that the black-robed man he had intercepted back then was the same person as the guy just now, he didn't have any substantial evidence!

If they don't tell anyone, the Hongwei Sect might still think that what happened back then was a flawless cover-up, a perfect frame-up, and wouldn't risk killing him and Shi Jie.

After all, Shi Jie and the others all have families now, especially Li Liping, who is a disciple of the Yuyu Sect. If they were to be silenced, it would cause a lot of trouble for the Hongwei Sect.

However, revealing this might actually let the Hongwei Sect know that they already know the truth about the ambush back then, increasing the likelihood that the Hongwei Sect will try to silence them.

After considering all the factors, Lin Yang ultimately decided to leave it at that for the time being.

Firstly, he didn't trust the Moon Shadow Sect's secrecy.

If he tells them now, the Moon Shadow Sect certainly won't keep it a complete secret for him.

The risk is too great.

Secondly, he didn't believe that the Moon Shadow Sect was completely unaware that the Rainbow Micro Sect wasn't as neutral as it appeared on the surface.

The reason they pretended not to know was probably because they were already mortal enemies with the Tiankun Sect, and it was not advisable to have another one directly confront them.

The same applies to the Tiankun Sect.

Therefore, we cannot disclose the information at this time.

"Right now, it's like we're in the dark while the Rainbow Micro Sect is in the light. In the future, we'll have to be careful of the people from the Rainbow Micro Sect."

Lin Yang's gaze was deep and unfathomable. (End of Chapter)
