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

Chapter 283 Her Way of Shutting People Down! 2
In a flash of cold light, the attack pierced through the protective defenses of the group and severed their tongues.

Is such strength really something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could achieve?

Those people are all Foundation Establishment cultivators! Is it really possible to crush them like that when they are at the same cultivation level?

With their tongues cut out, they could no longer speak, could no longer gossip, and could not even cry out for help.

Lin Yan glanced coldly at the crowd and said calmly, "This is the price for spreading rumors about me. Anyone who doesn't believe me can try!"

The group looked flustered and pulled their companions away, leaving only the few who had been discussing the matter behind.

They looked terrified and fled in panic, not daring to resist at all.

She sheathed her sword and went to the deck as if nothing had happened, showing no sign that she was the one who had just cut off several tongues with a single move.

Before her fearsome reputation spread, many people simply considered her an unsociable rogue cultivator, and no one feared her. Once the story of her tongue being cut out became known, far fewer people would come looking for trouble.

She hadn't been on the deck for long when the male cultivator who had initially intended to take advantage of her came over, his shifty eyes fixed on her.

This man seemed to be called Li Er. His cloudy eyes glanced at his private parts, and his expression was lewd.

He rubbed his hands together. "What a coincidence, we've run into each other again. Do you need someone to protect you if you're alone?"

Lin Yan frowned, not expecting anyone to so openly display such a lewd expression. Perhaps he simply enjoyed looking at people with a vulgar gaze, finding pleasure in seeing their panic and helplessness.

"Get lost!" She glanced at him sideways with the look of someone looking at a dead man.

Li Er was startled by that gaze and felt inexplicably timid.

He was immediately startled by his own thoughts! How could he be intimidated by a rogue cultivator? Especially since she was a female cultivator.

It would be too embarrassing for everyone present to see him being intimidated by a female cultivator!

Li Er may not have many other tricks up his sleeve, but he's certainly adept at using underhanded methods. Seeing the man's cold attitude and the fact that he'd lost face, he immediately resorted to any means necessary.

"Oh dear, you heartless little wench! When you were using me, you kept calling me 'brother' and snuggling into my arms. Now you act all innocent and virtuous!"

His voice suddenly rose, attracting some uninformed monks to gather around.

While on the flying boat, some cultivators who had few spirit stones and couldn't engage in other entertainment activities enjoyed watching this kind of show to pass the time.

It's not that I actually believed what one side said; I just treated it as a show.

But just as they were about to watch a good show, the male cultivator who had been speaking had his tongue cut out and was kicked away.

The play was very exciting, but it was too bloody!

Li Er's eyes widened, and blood kept gushing from his mouth.

He wanted to speak, but his tongue had been cut out. Unless his tongue regenerated, he would be mute for the rest of his life.

Lin Yan looked down at the other person with the eyes of someone looking at trash.

After cutting off his tongue, he didn't say a word, but his imposing aura made people unconsciously move away.

She didn't even need to say a word; the rumors simply dissipated on their own.

How could a cultivator with such a terrifying aura be the kind of person Li Er described...?

Some people unconsciously cover their mouths, as if afraid their tongues will be cut off at any moment.

The chaotic scene was quickly brought to a stop by the airship manager who was maintaining order. Li Er was helped off the plane, and the farce came to an end.

Having witnessed her ruthless methods, no one dared to approach her, and they all unconsciously kept their distance, giving her much-needed peace and quiet.

After standing there for a long time, a fearless person stepped forward to ask questions; it was the same person who was in purple robes.

"Fairy, have you seen my young master since we boarded the flying boat? He said he was going to find you, but he hasn't returned yet."

Lin Yan looked at the person who came to ask questions with amusement, not understanding why he had gone to all this trouble. He knew that his master had come looking for him, but if he hadn't returned and couldn't be contacted, there were only a few possibilities.

Are you asking yourself this to confirm the answer?

"Want to know? Follow me." With that, she gracefully walked away.

Regardless of whether the person followed or not, she walked to her room on her own.

Even if no one follows during the day, others will still be unable to resist coming over to test the waters at night.

We'll deal with whatever comes our way.

She was a little disappointed that the person hadn't followed, as she couldn't deal with them immediately.

She entered the room, closed the door, and set up the barrier again.

She placed the array plate directly at the entrance. Anyone who broke in would trigger the array, and the array plate would activate and suck the person in.

In the dead of night.

The group crept over. One person was responsible for knocking on the door, while the others lay in wait.

The person knocked on the door, and it opened as soon as they touched it, without them even having to push it open.

He paused for a moment, then, seeing the person inside sleeping with half their face propped up, he didn't dare to make any other movements.

Using his divine sense to scan the room, he confirmed that the person was asleep and found nothing unusual. He simply assumed that the person inside had been careless and had not closed the door properly.

They gestured to enter with the others, only to realize they had made a huge mistake!
Before they could do anything after entering, the door closed automatically. Golden light appeared, and in an instant, they were teleported to a place full of yellow sand.

Lin Yan slowly got up from the bed, set up another array with spirit stones, and then entered the array plate.

The hunt begins!
She appeared from a high position, aimed her divine bow at one of them, and killed him before they could react.

Watching the people below scatter in panic like rats, she finally felt much better.

Tolerating these people's "concern" is already unbearable; if I don't kill them, I'll become depressed!
The people were quickly cleared out, and she came out of the array plate with several storage bags in her hands.

After erasing the spiritual imprint on it, she used her divine sense to examine it and carefully selected what was usable, moving it into her storage bag.

……

The following day, the airship arrived at the new town and stayed there for a day.

She went directly from the flying boat into the jungle, dug a large pit, poured the corpse in the bottle into it, and buried it.

After the burial was completed, she went into the town to find the elder stationed there, explained the whole story, and handed over all the black and white bottles.

This matter was of great importance. The elder asked someone to wait a moment and then contacted Venerable Rongce.

Rong Ce saw through her disguise at a glance, but didn't expose her. After understanding what had happened, he gave her a magical artifact as a reward.

Lin Yan dared not accept it; she had no idea Rong Ce would be here.

There shouldn't be anything serious happening at the Miaofa Sect, so why would an elder who holds the sect leader's token appear on the edge of the Miaofa Sect's territory?

"Take it, consider it a reward for providing this information." Rong Ce's indifferent expression revealed no emotion.

"Then... this junior will not stand on ceremony." Lin Yan smiled awkwardly and accepted the magic weapon.

Only after returning to the airship from the outpost did she take out the magical artifact to examine it. It was a very exquisite hairpin, engraved with strange runes.

After imprinting her own mental mark on it and establishing a connection with it, she realized that it was a magical artifact that could prevent others from probing her.

With this magic weapon, even a Nascent Soul Venerable...
