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

There was almost nothing of particular value.

Lin Yan then opened the second storage bag. This storage bag contained quite a few high-grade spirit stones. In addition to the talismans and pills necessary for travel, there were also many third-grade magic treasures and some scrolls.

She emptied everything out and began flipping through the scrolls. They contained records of intermediate-level planting spells. The man hadn't been interested in these spells; he intended to keep them to sell at the merchant guild, but she'd managed to intercept them.

The third storage bag was obtained in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest; its owner was an evil cultivator who used blood bats for cultivation! She moved all the contents of the bag onto the deck and began to inventory them one by one.

The essential elixirs and talismans are running low, and the magical artifacts inside are severely damaged and cannot be used without major repairs.

Among them were several yellowed scrolls containing records of evil spells and forbidden rituals, as well as instructions on how to carry and feed blood bats.

Behind every spell, ritual, and method lies a bloody history that sends chills down one's spine.

Besides the regular pills, there were also some unidentified liquids and powders that emitted a foul odor. She quickly put the lid back on to avoid being bothered by the smell.

In addition, there were bottles containing demonic beasts and boxes containing spiritual plants. This person had made a great harvest in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, but now it all belonged to him.

She set aside the items tainted with "evil" and carefully sealed them in a new storage bag. She would hand them over to her master at the Xuantian Sect, as they might be helpful for the Miaofa Sect's investigation!

Keep what you can use yourself, and sell everything you don't need to the Chamber of Commerce!
At that time, another large sum of spirit stones will be received, which will slightly make up for the deficit.

After tidying up her belongings, she took out high-grade spirit stones and piled them in front of her. She crossed her legs and began to absorb the energy while cultivating.

Ever since she emerged from the secret realm, she felt she needed to advance again, but she was always just a little short. At times like these, she needed to use a large number of spirit stones to absorb and cultivate, quickly breaking through her bottleneck.

Knowing that she needed to focus on her cultivation, the three little ones behaved themselves and didn't make a fuss on the flying boat. Even if they did make a fuss, they would go inside the pavilion.

Two days later, the airship reached the edge of the yellow sand and was stopped.

Perhaps they saw her sitting alone in the flying boat, and that she only had the cultivation of the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, so they wanted to come and rob her of her money and her virtue.

The vessel that blocked her was a small flying boat with about ten people on board, including several early-stage Golden Core cultivators and the rest Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Judging from their attire, they should be cultivators living in the desert region; it's not yet clear whether they are heretical cultivators.

Because she was used to suppressing her cultivation level, she suppressed it to the peak of Foundation Establishment after she came out, so people with lower cultivation levels than her could not tell.

She's all action and no talk; let's see the power of the Crimson Crown Bow!
With a thought, a crimson bow appeared in her hand. No arrows were needed; she simply used her spiritual power to grip the bow and draw the string, and red arrows immediately appeared, the number of which changed according to her spiritual power.

--call out!

With a whooshing sound, three arrows flew out, piercing through the enemy airship's defenses and heading straight for the throats of the three foul-mouthed men!

If what you say is so unpleasant to hear, then just shut your mouth forever!
The remaining cultivators were surprised to find that she possessed such abilities, actually managing to break through the defensive formation that came with the small flying boat.

They were surprised for a moment, but their eyes quickly filled with even more greed! In their view, someone who would appear alone in a small flying boat in the desert must have some kind of treasure on them.

The bow used by that female cultivator was extraordinary; it must be of the Heavenly Grade to penetrate the defensive formation! Many people exchanged glances, their minds turning to snatch it!
The bow is a ranged attack weapon, and they believe that the female cultivator dares to be so arrogant because she has such a treasure!
The delicate female cultivator is definitely weak in close combat, so I'm confident I can take her down in a melee. Right now, the three little ones are sleeping in their cabins on the flying boat, protected by barriers and defensive formations, and are unaware of what's happening outside.

Lin Yan wanted to use those reckless bandits and cultivators for practice, so naturally she didn't call out the three little ones to fight.

The airship is protected by barriers and formations to defend against enemies; she only needs to stand on the deck and shoot arrows outwards. Anyone trying to sneak up on her from behind will have to break through two layers of defense first.

Once her defenses are broken, she'll be aware of it herself, so she's not afraid of anyone being able to ambush her.

The three men were shot in the throat, but instead of dying instantly, they collapsed heavily on the deck in excruciating pain.

They tried to take the pills, but arrows shot at them, preventing them from taking them.

The other cultivators glared angrily, revealing their magical artifacts and launching attacks on the opposing flying boat to cover the three people.

In an instant, multicolored magical light shot out, striking towards Lin Yan's location.

She showed no fear, nor did she flinch. Holding the crimson bow, she changed position and fired three more arrows with deadly force!
The red arrow, trailing a streak of light, hurtled towards the three of them once more.

The colorful spells struck the array, creating loud "bang" sounds that caused the flying boat to sway twice.

They stared in astonishment at the intact barrier, their greed intensifying!
The fact that the flying boat's barrier could withstand their simultaneous attacks meant that the flying boat must have some kind of hidden magical artifact installed. Perhaps the other party was being discreet and made the flying boat look very ordinary.

Driven by greed, they don't think things through, or perhaps their brains are never dry. When they see that their attack has failed to break through the airship's defenses, they don't think about retreating but instead try to seize it.

Two cultivators at the early stage of the Golden Core realm even secretly withdrew during the battle and circled around to the back of her flying boat.

Her arrows flew, but did not pierce their eyes as she had expected. They joined forces to defend themselves and deflect her attack.

In order to practice, she deliberately suppressed her attack power, making those people think that she only had the cultivation of the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, giving them confidence that they could definitely defeat her.

If they are given too much confidence, they will have unrealistic fantasies and actually believe that they can win over the female cultivator.

For a moment, the light from the clash of spells intertwined, producing a series of reverberating sounds.

The two Golden Core cultivators responsible for the sneak attack thought it was feasible to cover up the noise of breaking the formation with the sound of the shockwave, so they immediately joined forces to break the defensive formation.

After the defensive formation was broken, the two immediately used a secret technique to send a message, intending to join forces to attack the female cultivator.

Lin Yan had played for long enough, so she immediately released the pressure of a Golden Core cultivator!
Those cultivators at the same level as her were less affected, but those a whole level lower were unable to withstand it and were forced to kneel down, unable to move.

The immobilized cultivators were like sitting ducks to her; she could pierce their hearts with an arrow and end their lives!

Those people were clearly taken aback; she was actually a Golden Core cultivator. They had been suppressing their strength before, and the fact that none of them had noticed meant the female cultivator's cultivation was above theirs! (End of Chapter)
