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

"Why are you trembling? Are you scared now?" Lin Yan said, circulating her spiritual power and kicking him directly in the knee.

"Ah!!" he screamed, falling straight to his knees, his kneecaps broken. "You..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked in the other knee. Now, both knees were broken, symmetrically!

Lin Yan stared sharply at the man trembling in pain from his broken kneecap, feeling no pity whatsoever. This miserable state was his own fault; he brought it upon himself!
None of the guards dared to move. Their young master was in the enemy's hands; if they moved and caused his death, their fate would be predictable.

As long as the person is still alive, at most they will be blamed for failing to protect him properly. In addition, since the young master was the one who provoked the incident, the punishment they receive will not be more severe than the punishment for bringing the dead young master back.

With more guards, some people wanted to make a name for themselves, so they tried to ambush the young master and rescue him, hoping to get a big reward.

Lin Yan glanced at the group of people, then slashed his skin with her dagger, causing blood to gush out and filling the kneeling man with terror!
"If you dare to touch him, I'll cut his head off right now! You'd better think carefully about whether you'll be punished more for taking back a whole corpse or a mangled body!"

Liu Mingyu felt the dagger against his neck and, fearing the other person would actually cut off his head the next second, hurriedly cried out in panic, "Don't move! Back off! Get away..."

Upon hearing this, the guards slowly retreated until they were more than a hundred meters away.

She brandished the dagger at the man's face, threatening, "Don't try to play tricks on me. I didn't kill you right away because I wanted you to experience the agony of having your tendons and bones pulled out, to give you a taste of what it's like!"

Seeing the fear on the man's face, she was extremely pleased.

"Fairy... Fairy, please spare me this time! I will give you whatever you want! I swear on my life that I will never offend you again!"

Listen to this! He clearly sent people to tear her apart, but they failed. Yet, he sums it up with just the word "offend"!
So, in this young master's eyes, dismembering, murder, and robbery were merely acts of "offense"?

"What are you afraid of? I'm just teaching you a lesson in your own way. If you don't want to die, fine. If you survive after I've pulled your tendons and bones out, I'll let you go, okay? Aren't I incredibly kind?"

To prevent any of the guards from using the communication jade disc to notify the powerful members of her family to come over, and knowing that she was outnumbered, she didn't waste any words and simply raised her hand, a powerful spiritual energy gathering in her palm.

Liu Mingyu was so frightened that she lost control of her bladder, and a strong smell of urine wafted out.

She held her breath in disgust and struck the person's head directly with her spiritual energy!
Just then, a force struck, and her hand deflected, the force sweeping across his hair and hitting him to the ground.

With her other hand, she held a dagger that also slashed his neck, but missed the artery, leaving only a cut on the skin. The force of her movement created a crater in the ground.

Lin Yan quickly took out the Immortal Binding Rope from her storage bag. With a thought, the rope bound the "young master" tightly in a second, and she even kicked him into the pit!

She frowned and looked at the person who had ruined her plans!

Perhaps fearing to hurt this "young master," the other party did not use their full strength, but only stopped her from killing.

The newcomer also looked young, but his bone age appeared to be around three hundred years old, and he had a cultivation level in the mid-to-late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Liu Mingyu immediately cried out, "Grandpa, Grandpa, please save me! Waaah, please save me!"

Tsk, so this is this guy's grandfather! It seems those guards contacted the person in charge to come and rescue him. "Shut up!" The newcomer first scolded his grandson, then smiled kindly: "The child is unruly and has offended the Master. I hope the Master will not hold it against him. The Liu family is willing to apologize with 50,000 high-grade spirit stones."

Liu Mingyu, who was tied up tightly and could only gurgle, was stunned when she heard her grandfather's words!

His eyes widened, filled with disbelief and astonishment.

What did Grandpa just call her? A True Person? Isn't she only at the Foundation Establishment stage? Why did Grandpa call her a True Person?

"He not only verbally offended me, but also sent people to skin me alive. Isn't it reasonable and justified for me to kill him in retaliation?"

As Lin Yan spoke, she quietly took out the array plate from her storage bag, hid it under her wide embroidered robe, and slowly turned it on.

This person is also a Golden Core cultivator, so I can't suppress him directly with my cultivation level. If we fight, it might affect the town. If we can't reach an agreement, I'll have to pull him into the formation.

Within her own formation, the advantage lies with her!

"This unfilial son is ignorant and arrogant. We will teach him a lesson when we get back. The 50,000 high-grade spirit stones are just an apology. If you have any other requests, the Liu family will do its best to fulfill them."

Elderly cultivators with considerable cultivation levels cherish their lives greatly. When faced with cultivators of the same cultivation level, they mostly choose to resolve the situation peacefully if possible.

When the two sides fight, it will inevitably result in one of two outcomes: a fight to the death or mutual destruction. The real danger is that someone with ulterior motives might step in and reap the benefits, like a mantis stalking a cicada while unaware of the oriole behind.

Grandpa Liu was over 300 years old, long past the age of impulsive violence. This trip was to celebrate a friend's birthday. On the return journey, he had some insights and meditated on the flying boat, not allowing outsiders to disturb him.

Before he could glean anything from his insights, the guard rushed in to report that his grandson had gotten into trouble, provoking a Foundation Establishment cultivator with unpredictable movements, and had been captured at the town entrance, his life in imminent danger.

This is outrageous! Upon hearing this, Grandpa Liu forgot all about his enlightenment and rushed to save the person!
Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator, no matter how unpredictable their movement techniques, cannot hide anything under the suppression of their cultivation level!

To everyone's surprise, upon closer inspection, this was not a Foundation Establishment cultivator with unpredictable movements at all, but clearly a Golden Core cultivator, and his bone age was exceptionally young.

At such a young age, to have already reached the Golden Core realm, there must be a powerful force supporting him, one that the Liu family cannot afford to offend!

That unfilial son! Didn't I tell him to be more discreet when he's out and about, lest he accidentally offend some big shot and die without even knowing how?

Lin Yan sneered: "Tch, your grandson is arrogant and domineering. Who knows, after he goes back, he might still harbor resentment towards me and spend spirit stones to hire someone to kill me. Wouldn't that be like letting a tiger return to the mountain?"

She originally wanted to say "release the dogs back to the mountains," but facing a cultivator who was over three hundred years old, she restrained herself and thought of "respecting the elderly and caring for the young."

"Don't worry, Master! I'll definitely teach this unfilial son a lesson when we get back!"

She glanced discreetly at the person in the mud pit, wondering whether to kill him or exchange him for 50,000 high-grade spirit stones.

This amount of spirit stones would have been a huge fortune for her before, but now she owns half a spirit stone mine. (End of Chapter)
