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

Chapter 297 Leave it to me

Feeling a little embarrassed that she had earned these spirit stones so easily, she offered to carry the corpse onto the flying boat and considerately asked, "Do you need a bottle to hold the corpse?"

Wu Xixi shook her head and put the corpse into the small bottle she was carrying.

Lin Yan removed the array on the ground, manipulated the flying boat to rise, and flew in a certain direction.

Upon reaching the entrance, the two disembarked from the flying boat. She stowed the flying boat away and gazed at the magnificent waterfall before her.

She hadn't expected that the entrance to the Sixteen Villages would be a huge waterfall. It seemed that the ethnic groups that were able to survive and thrive in the Baling Mountains all had ways to protect their homes.

Wu Xixi took out the token, infused it with spiritual power, and shone it on the waterfall. The waterfall opened automatically, releasing the wooden bridge.

The two walked inside together, and the waterfall slowly closed again.

After passing through the waterfall, a hidden paradise awaits.

The three-story wooden houses are arranged in a pleasing, staggered pattern, with beautiful colorful flowers planted in front of them. When the wind blows, the fragrance of the flowers is intoxicating.

Lin Yan took out an antidote pill and swallowed it, then put on a veil to protect against pollen, and walked with the other person toward a large house.

The gatekeepers bowed to her upon her return. After she entered, a beautiful woman ran over.

"Sister is back! I missed you so much, sister."

Wu Xixi pushed him away subtly, her expression unchanged, and said coldly, "You really want me dead."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ling'er's face stiffened for a moment, and she said awkwardly, "What are you saying, sister? I don't understand."

"Tsk, you understand, my dear sister." She said, and was about to take the person beside her to meet her mother. But she was stopped by the other party.

Wu Ling'er remained calm, but her words carried a hint of gritted teeth: "Is Sister going to see Mother? Mother doesn't want to see you right now."

"Go away!"

“It’s good that my sister is leaving! Mother is very disappointed in her and doesn’t want to see her.”

After saying that, he made a hand gesture, and immediately guards appeared and stood in front of him.

I had just received news that Wu Xixi was seriously injured, and I thought those people would be able to kill her today...

She had planned to announce the other party's death today so that the chieftain would change the successor, but who knew that Wu Xixi would actually come back alive.

The person stationed at the entrance saw the person return safely and promptly reported the news, which led to today's scene.

She can't let the mother and daughter see each other now; she has to stir up trouble between them to make them even more estranged.

"Leave it to me, you go see your mother," Lin Yan suddenly said. Then, with lightning speed, she threw out the spirit stones to form an array.

"Okay." Wu Xixi left quickly, not forgetting to tell her that it would be over soon.

The guards tried to intercept them, but found themselves blocked by an invisible barrier.

Wu Ling'er then noticed her, her hands clenching into fists. "Who are you? How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Sixteen Villages without cause!"

"Oh," she responded, and slowly explained, "I took the spirit stones."

Her tone was nonchalant, as if she didn't care who she had offended.

Since she was only being paid spirit stones to do things, she didn't care about family matters or scandals. She just had to do whoever her employer told her to kill. As for the mess that followed, that was up to the employer to clean up.

Upon hearing this, Wu Ling'er gritted her teeth and squeezed out the words: "I'll pay double, you kill that bitch for me!"

Double? Lin Yan was surprised. She hadn't expected to have such an unexpected gain on this trip.
Eighteen thousand high-grade spirit stones is a considerable sum, and having this amount of spirit stones can greatly alleviate her problem of using too many spirit stones.

Ever since spirit stones started flowing out like water, she knew that cultivating immortality truly consumed a great deal of spirit stones. Formations, spatial manipulation, shopping—nothing could be done without them.

Even when the spiritual energy in one's body is depleted, one has to absorb spirit stones to replenish it in a short time!
"180,000 high-grade spirit stones, pay on the spot."

"Wh...what?" Wu Xixi pursed her lips and glared fiercely at Lin Yan.

Isn't this outrageous? That bitch's life isn't worth that many spirit stones!

The main problem is that she doesn't have that much money to spare...

"Didn't you say you had to pay double? 180,000 spirit stones is correct." Lin Yan's face showed displeasure. Could this person not have spirit stones and be trying to show off in front of her?
While she was thinking, she acted without restraint, causing the power of the formation to fluctuate too much, instantly blasting them all away.

Dozens of people were sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.

Before long, two handsome male cultivators entered and helped Wu Ling'er up.

She fell in a disheveled state, her hair and robes in disarray, and she kept biting her lips in anger, causing a lot of her lip rouge to come off.

"Sorry, I lost control." Thinking of the 180,000 high-grade spirit stones, Lin Yan adjusted her expression and continued, "Do you still want to hire someone?"

These words sounded like mockery to Wu Ling'er. She glared at the person fiercely, "You just wait!"

After speaking, he left with his guards and the two male cultivators who had just entered.

Lin Yan was a little disappointed that her plan to make a fortune had failed.

Hopefully, the trip to the sea will be fruitful...

She waited in the front yard for a short while before Wu Xixi came out.

His complexion wasn't good, and he looked somewhat tired. "Fellow Daoist Lin, please stay a few more days. I can pay you another 30,000 high-grade spirit stones. The remaining spirit stones can be paid after you help me stabilize the village."

"This is not what we agreed on," Lin Yan said with a forced smile.

It was agreed that she would receive the remaining spirit stones if she escorted the other party safely back to the village.

Thinking that this trip would be easy, she compromised and said, "I can stay for another five days. After five days, please pay me the remaining spirit stones. During this time, I will protect your safety. Whoever you ask me to kill, I will kill for you if my ability allows."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "But let's make this clear beforehand: I'll help you kill someone, but you'll be responsible for the mess that follows."

What she feared most was killing someone at her employer's behest, only to have the employer then shift the blame and even collude with the victim's relatives to cause her trouble.

Wu Xixi thought about it and agreed. She asked someone to follow her back to her residence and then brought 30,000 spirit stones to hand over.

Lin Yan accepted the spirit stones and put on a smile. "Is there anyone I need to kill now?"

"Have."

Wu Xixi ordered her men to follow her and then summoned her subordinates to search for someone in the jungle.

Her husband was killed by those three men and others from other villages. She had to retrieve his body and build a proper grave for him.

She chose her other husbands herself, and she had feelings for them to some extent. She couldn't bear to leave them to die in the wild.

Before setting off, she ordered the entire village to be sealed off, and no one was allowed to leave without her permission.

Unjustifiably sealing off the village would certainly cause inconvenience to the villagers. She also issued another announcement, saying that people from other villages were hunting and killing people from this village.

Once things calm down, the ban will be lifted, and the villagers will receive some compensation.

The announcement greatly calmed the emotions of most people.
