After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

This time, the scene she set up was the canyon of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. There were four canyons running east, west, south, and north, with the central point being the array's core. Around the core were talismans and a basic illusion array.

She can only achieve two layers of this nested illusion array at present. The second layer is the most basic. As long as a Golden Core or Foundation Establishment cultivator can calm down, they can quickly break through the second layer of illusion.

The purpose of this second illusion was not to kill the enemy, but to buy time so that she wouldn't be caught off guard if the core of the formation was attacked.

Lin Yan chose "Hua" from the four people, who was the weakest in cultivation. She was at the second level of the Golden Core stage, over three hundred years old, and her body was not strong anymore!
Judging from his flamboyant attire, he must be adept at deceiving his enemies. Some cultivators use flashy clothing to distract their enemies, allowing them to secretly employ underhanded tactics.

Without wasting any words, Lin Yan directly summoned the Heavenly Grade Magic Sword left to her by her father and attacked.

The two little ones then went to fight the second weakest assassin among the group.

A Snow Frost Eagle and a sixth-tier Red Enchantress with awakened Hou beast bloodline are both within a 100% chance of being defeated.

As soon as the magic sword was drawn, a powerful surge of spiritual energy instantly spread out.

The sword spirit, which had been silent in the mark for a long time, yawned and mumbled, "I was sleeping soundly."

The spirit sword hadn't made a sound for many days, not because it had become quiet or a recluse, but because, for some unknown reason, it had been excessively sleepy. So it had remained inside the mark without waking up.

I'm still a little disoriented after being summoned out like this.

"You go to sleep, I'll control the sword."

"..."

What kind of talk is that? Isn't that like telling someone "Go to sleep" and then using their body as a weapon to fight? How can anyone sleep like that?
What's going on?

“Master, I’ve noticed you’re missing something,” the spirit sword said slowly.

"Are you missing?"

"No, that's immoral!"

"Hua" was shocked as she watched the female cultivator's rapid attacks! This person was actually able to unleash such fierce sword techniques while simultaneously talking to the sword spirit!

He frantically waved his arms, channeling his spiritual power into the magical artifact, controlling it to withstand the storm of attacks.

Lin Yan seized the opportunity, leaped into the air, and spun around. The massive sword energy, carrying the power to break through all obstacles, crashed into the shield erected by the enemy.

--boom!

"Flower's" arms trembled and she couldn't hold on any longer, being sent flying by the powerful force. Her magic robe was torn, and a patch of crimson blood remained on her golden core body.

He gritted his teeth, moved his hands rapidly, and chanted a complex incantation, instantly causing countless flower petals to fill the surrounding area.

The petals emitted a pink mist, enveloping Lin Yan like water. With a shout of "Break!", the petals quickly closed in, determined to devour the person in the center.

Lin Yan was not afraid at all. She gathered powerful energy in her palm and broke through the gap. Her figure flashed and turned into a blur. Before the enemy could react, her sword had already pierced through his body!
His eyes were wide open as he fell backward, leaving bloodstains on the sword.

She didn't forget to finish him off; with a swift turn of her sword, the fallen man's head was severed, leaving him utterly dead.

Lin Yan used a cleansing spell to restore both the sword and herself to cleanliness. She swallowed a top-grade Qi-replenishing pill, took the other party's storage bag, and then moved the corpse into her spatial storage.

Next up is the strongest of the four!
Before the battle, she used a lot of high-grade and mid-grade spirit stones to conjure up low-level demonic beasts from the Myriad Demon Forest to fight against the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, first depleting his spiritual power and physical strength.

Why not conjure up a high-level demonic beast? She's not a god; any demonic beast she conjures that can fight would be at least two levels below her. A conjured demonic beast is merely an illusion; she can conjure any beast she's ever seen! The realism depends on her memory.

Let alone high-level demonic beasts, she could replicate even the most powerful ancient divine beasts if she dared to dream of them... on the surface.

Lingjian couldn't help but sigh, "You still love to whip corpses so much!"

"Don't talk nonsense, that's to ensure the enemy is completely wiped out!"

They walked slowly towards another canyon, one person carrying a sword and chatting as they went. She wasn't in a hurry, taking her time.

Meanwhile, the male cultivator in the canyon was slaying demonic beasts as he made his way towards Lin Yan's location.

The low-level demonic beasts conjured from spirit stones possess some combat power, though not very strong, and are no match for Golden Core cultivators. However, their sheer number makes them formidable…

After encountering his target, "Feng" had already exhausted a lot of spiritual and physical strength. Before he could take out a pill to replenish his energy, a sword flew over and stabbed at him with lightning speed.

He quickly changed his hand gestures, conjuring a protective shield to defend himself. The powerful thrust forced him back several steps.

Before he could speak, several talismans were already flying towards him. He hurriedly dodged, and the spot where he had been standing was blown apart by the talismans, with debris flying everywhere and dust billowing up.

Before he could stand still, he was slashed by the returning sword, his robe was torn open, and blood spilled out.

The attack temporarily ceased, allowing him to catch his breath. "What is the meaning of this, fellow Daoist?"

The person in front of him was wearing a veil, but he recognized him at a glance as the one on the assassination list.

The order stated that this person was at the Foundation Establishment stage, but he now sees that the other person is clearly at the Golden Core stage. The information provided by the order maker doesn't match. If he goes back now, he can get his deposit back.

Staying here... I'm afraid it's more likely to end badly for us.

He considered the circumstances and made the best choice for the current situation.

What do you mean? Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh when she heard the question! These people put sleeping gas in her room, broke into her room, and now they're asking her what she means?

Is it because they feel they can't win in a fight, so they resort to verbal sparring?
That's it! At the same level, his opponent's strength was only one level higher than his. However, his spiritual power and physical strength had been depleted before, and coupled with the extraordinary magic sword she used, that one-level gap was narrowed infinitely.

After analyzing the situation, do you think you can extricate yourself through verbal sparring? Do you believe that if you had a choice, you would choose to end the war?
think too much!
He asked so sincerely, and he answered without beating around the bush!
"kill you!"

"Why do you want to kill me, fellow Daoist? I have no grudge against you!"

How could this person say such a thing? We've come this far, and both sides understand each other perfectly well, so let's stop being so hypocritical!
"Stop pretending, let's do it!"

Upon hearing this, "Feng's" face darkened, knowing that things would not end well today. He had just mobilized his spiritual power when a sharp sword aura approached directly.

He retreated several steps, deflecting the sword energy, only to be met with a sharp blade. The two grappled in the narrow canyon, kicking up clouds of dust.

Lin Yan is not only skilled with swords; she can use swords and hidden weapons in close combat, and she can also use magic to attack from a distance. She even occasionally pulls out talismans and hidden weapons to throw.

After a prolonged battle, she had a Heavenly Grade Qi-Replenishing Pill to restore her strength, giving her the advantage.

"Wind" unleashed various spells to defend against the opponent's attacks. As time passed, his movements became noticeably slower, and he seemed to be losing his strength.

Alas, at four hundred years old, it's time for it to return to the earth. (End of Chapter)
