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

Chapter 229 The Guardian Spirit Beast Eagle Lion 2
Upon exiting the valley, they saw a colossal creature, which greatly frightened the two young apprentices responsible for guiding the foreign guests.

She swallowed hard, glanced at the communication jade disc, and then sent a message to Little Lion.

An anonymous monk: Is that you?
The colossal creature roared to the sky and spoke in human language: "It is I."

She had never seen such a large, talking monster on Guiyun Peak before; it must be at least at the Xuan level.

No wonder the senior sister wasn't worried at all when she heard that she was being targeted by a Nascent Soul cultivator; she even sent an eagle-lion to pick her up. With such a spirit beast protecting her, who would dare to act recklessly?

She swallowed again, murmuring, "So big..."

The griffin thought she had shrunk a little because she disliked its size.

These mythical beasts have the wings of an eagle, but the claws of an eagle and the body of a lion, hence the name Eagle Lion.

"What a hassle! Alright? Stop dawdling and hurry up, I can't wait any longer."

This tone of voice definitely belongs to Little Lion in the group!

She leaped onto the griffin and was carried into the sky. It was incredibly fast; had it not been for the protective barrier, she would have been blown off by the wind.

After she left, the Xuantian Sect disciple quickly sent a message to others using the communication jade disc, and then left.

……

Given the speed of a griffin, if it flies day and night without any unexpected events, it should arrive in three to five days.

But the fact that it came to pick me up early and set off so early must have included rest time in its calculations.

As soon as it got dark, the griffin found an open space to perch. It curled up there, like a hen incubating its eggs.

"Aren't you in a hurry? You can rest when you get there."

She had barely finished speaking when she saw the griffin roll its eyes dramatically. "I have my own rhythm, and I'll get you there on time."

"alright."

This was a sentient spirit beast, older and of a higher generation than herself, so she dared not say anything more.

She took a cushion out of her storage bag, put it on the ground, and sat down to meditate and cultivate.

goooo~
Birds called from the jungle, and then a flock of them flew away in a flurry.

The griffin's ears twitched, sensing someone approaching, but it didn't open its eyes. Its tail twitched intermittently, indicating that it was somewhat interested.

Suddenly, a huge net flew in from all directions. The eagle-lion roared and created a powerful energy ripple that instantly shattered the golden net.

"Who dares to act so recklessly?" It flapped its wings and flew high, leaving Lin Yan behind, wanting to see who had attacked it from below!

The battle excited the griffin, which fanned out a wave of wind in one direction and attacked with lightning speed.

Those hiding in the shadows had no time to react and could only let out a scream of "Ah!"

Before Lin Yan could speak, it had already flown into the jungle, attempting to find all the people hiding there.
She felt countless question marks floating above her head, not understanding why it had abandoned her and gone off to chase after her alone.

She looked anxious as she watched the griffin fly away.

With her attention focused on the departing griffin, she was caught off guard by a sneak attack, was knocked away and crashed heavily to the ground, vomited a mouthful of blood, and then fainted.

Several male cultivators dressed in black robes and with their faces covered came out and spat on the corpses on the ground.

One of them even kicked the corpse and said in a disdainful tone, "Pah! What champion of the Immortal Sect Competition, nothing special."

"Haha, don't say that! If she's so easy to kill, it makes our mission seem easy, and the reward will be less, right?" "Yes, yes, you've thought it through perfectly."

……

Just as one of them reached for the storage bag on the corpse, the corpse exploded with a "bang," and he was injured in the eye before he could dodge.

Realizing they had fallen into a trap, they immediately tried to leave, but there was no chance left.
Two high-level demonic beasts suddenly appeared, their sharp claws reaching for them, while red arrows flew by, hitting the group before they could dodge.

Although not fatal, they could sense the spiritual energy flowing through the arrows, and would continue to suffer damage if the arrows were not pulled out.

Some people couldn't dodge in time and were shot in the golden core by the red arrows. After screaming in agony, they discovered that the arrows flying towards them seemed to have eyes and were always aimed at that spot.

His face was filled with terror. He didn't even have a chance to speak or ask for help before a barrage of arrows riddled him with holes.

When others saw his horrific state, fear spread from the depths of their hearts to their very bones!
They wanted to fly away immediately, but found that their surroundings had changed at some point, and they could no longer fly on their swords.

The group became easy targets, and the monsters were watching them intently.

They seemed to be under a spell, unable to see what the monsters looked like. They were surrounded by thick clouds and mist, and only their area was clear.

The monster's claws suddenly appeared from the clouds, and while they were on guard, they also had to face the constant barrage of arrows.

They had no chance to catch their breath and were riddled with bullets.

The group of six who came to ambush them were all at the Golden Core stage, with bone ages exceeding one hundred years, the oldest being three or four hundred years old.

Such a Golden Core cultivator team would be considered elite even within a family or sect, and their complete annihilation would undoubtedly be a major loss.

Lin Yan emerged from the clouds, with a young Snow Frost Eagle and a Crimson Enchantress perched on her shoulders.

They yawned in unison and returned to their space, leaving her behind to collect all the storage bags from the six people.

After checking them over, these people didn't look like disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

Everyone in the Xuantian Sect pays attention to their appearance, so there are no ugly people in the entire sect, and no one leaves scars on their face.

Disciples who were originally unremarkable could undergo bone-scraping surgery and use elixirs to improve their appearance after entering the sect and gaining the necessary skills.

These people were all Golden Core cultivators. Without disguise, they either had scars on their faces, or had crooked eyes and mouths. The most normal one was actually someone with intact facial features.

Disciples of sects share a common habit: they like to carry their sect tokens and disciple identification items when they go out. Even when going out to carry out assassinations, they like to take them with them or simply remove them and put them in their storage bags.

She checked them and found no tokens. She removed the spiritual imprint from the storage bag and checked again, but still found no tokens.

If she wasn't a disciple of the Xuantian Sect, then who would want her dead and send someone to kill her?
She had already dealt with all the assassins on the assassin's list who came last time, yet someone still dared to take on the job to kill her. Was it because the person offering the job was offering too many spirit stones?

She searched through them carefully again, even tearing their clothes apart to examine them.

They didn't have any killer markings on their bodies, but there was a small patch of flesh on their calves that was slightly different from the surrounding flesh.

If she guessed correctly, there must have been some kind of mark here before. When they came to kill her, they scraped off the mark and then sprinkled it with excellent healing medicine, allowing new flesh to grow back in a short time.

There was absolutely no need for the assassin to go to the trouble of concealing the markings on his body.

Doesn't this show that the mastermind behind it all is afraid of their identities being discovered...?

Lin Yan guessed what was going on, pursed her lips, and threw all six people into the spatial composting.
