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

Chapter 38 If you can't beat them, try reasoning with them?
However, her attention wasn't on him; she was listening to the other cultivators in the rest area talking about Lishan.

She had just looked around Jade Disc Square and didn't see anyone mention Lishan. It seemed that the major sects and powerful families had joined forces to suppress the news. The independent cultivators didn't know much about it either.

Lin Yan listened for a long time, but only managed to extract one useful piece of information: a treasure had been discovered in Lishan.

After a moment's thought, she deduced that a new secret realm had appeared in the world.

Generally, the only time major sects and powerful families can unite to suppress news is when a new secret realm appears. The emergence of a new secret realm means more cultivation resources, and sects, families, and dynasties will definitely be the first to seize them and gain control of the narrative.

Individual practitioners or small groups can only wait to get a small share.

She wasn't very interested in Mount Li. The novel didn't mention this instance, and as a lone cultivator, she wouldn't have a head start. Rather than going to a secret realm where she had very little information, she'd rather go to the known far north.

"Could you add a jade disc number?"

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Yan slowly raised her eyes and saw that he had already changed into a robe and was standing in front of her. The robe was intricately embroidered and exquisitely decorated, clearly an extraordinary item. She only glanced at it briefly before looking away, responding and stating her jade disc number.

When wandering as a free-spirited cultivator, unless one has made any enemies, there's no need to make a scene; adding more jade tablets is perfectly acceptable.

“I wonder how long you will stay in this town, Fairy. I am familiar with this town, so why don’t I show you around?” Mo Yu said.

Her expression was indifferent: "No need."

Mo Yu did not give up and continued, "Fairy, please do not refuse. There are many interesting things in the town. Let me do my best to be a good host."

"I don't like to move around."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Mo Yu's face, but he quickly regained his smile: "Then I won't bother you any longer, Fairy." After saying that, he turned and left, but after a few steps he couldn't help but look back one last time. Seeing that she had no reaction, he left dejectedly.

She didn't stay in the rest area for long before going to the ticket office to buy a ticket to the far north, as there happened to be a spaceship departing at noon that day.

The airship's final destination is the far north. From this town, it will stop at five points. That is, the airship will stop five times, each time for twelve hours, during which time cultivators can disembark and make purchases.

The ticket seller told her that the airship was already at the docking point, and she just needed to take the pass to board the airship.

Having bought all the items she needed, and not wanting to shop around any longer, she left the guild and headed to the airship docking point.

Not long after leaving the merchant guild, she was surrounded by a group of people. Leading them was a burly cultivator with a thick beard; his eyes were wide with rage as he shouted at her, "Fellow Daoist, why did you kill my young master? Give me an explanation today, or you'll leave your life behind!"

Her expression was calm, but her eyes were icy: "Those I have killed all deserved to die. As for why I killed your young master, did the person who went back to report not tell the whole story, or did they not tell the truth?"

Upon hearing this, the burly cultivator was enraged and said, "Just because my young master had a few words with a fellow Daoist, you killed him in the street? What kind of logic is that?"

"Don't try to reason with me. You know your young master's character perfectly well. He just thinks that I'm just a female cultivator, what abilities could I possibly have? So he used a nicer name to lead people to surround me and probe my background."

If she were truly just a rogue cultivator with only Qi Refining cultivation, she must possess magical treasures to have been able to fend off such a group of thugs. Their arrival would be a perfect opportunity for them to kill and plunder. If she had a powerful background, they would also have a plausible reason to attack her. Among this group, the highest cultivation level was only Foundation Establishment. Feeling confident, she calmly said, "You don't need to beat around the bush like this. I'm just a rogue cultivator. Tell me straight, what do you want?"

"How about it? You killed my young master, so you must pay with your life!" The burly cultivator shouted, ordering everyone to draw their swords and attack her.

With a thought, a sword instantly appeared in her hand. In a single move, everyone was injured by the sword energy she unleashed, and many people's swords broke in two.

Lin Yan used her spiritual power to power her sword, holding it against the neck of the bearded cultivator, and asked lightly, "Can I leave now?"

The cultivator turned deathly pale with fright, his legs trembling uncontrollably. "Fairy, spare me! Fairy, spare me! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness..."

"Oh, it seems I can leave now." With a slight flick of her finger, the Cold Wind Sword slit the other's throat. The others scattered in terror.

She took out her communication jade disc and glanced at the time. There was still some time before the airship took off, so she decided to settle this matter once and for all. She didn't want someone to come along later and say that she owed someone a grudge.

She moved with lightning speed, quickly catching up with one of the men who had fled in terror. Holding her sword in front of him, her gaze was cold and she said politely, "Could you please lead the way?"

The man was so frightened that he trembled all over and led the way.

They hadn't walked far when they arrived at a mansion. The man pointed at the mansion, his voice trembling, "This...this is it..."

She removed the sword from his neck, and he scrambled away without even going inside to inform her.

She stepped onto the stairs, and the two guards at the gate rushed forward to stop her, but before they could speak, she knocked them unconscious. She cleaved the gate open with a single sword stroke and walked straight inside.

As soon as they entered the mansion, a large crowd surrounded them, and someone shouted, "Who goes there? Why are you trespassing on my Xiao family's property!"

She glanced coldly at the middle-aged male cultivator standing in front of the main hall and asked, "Are you the head of the Xiao family?"

The middle-aged male cultivator remained silent, only staring at her with sinister eyes. Seeing how arrogant this mere Qi Refining stage cultivator was, he spoke up: "This brat dares to trespass into my Xiao family! Guards! Kill her on the spot!"

At the middle-aged male cultivator's command, the guards surrounding her instantly charged at her with their swords drawn.

Her expression remained unchanged, still composed. The sword in her hand, imbued with her spiritual energy, exuded an even greater chill. With a single strike, a cold glint appeared, and within minutes, all the guards were rendered incapable of fighting!
Lin Yan stood amidst the groaning guards lying on the ground and said calmly, "I don't have much time. Make your move and don't waste any more time!"

The middle-aged male cultivator's expression changed drastically. He released the pressure of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, but found that the other party remained calm and unaffected.

How could this be! Could it be that her cultivation level is higher than his? But judging from the female cultivator's voice, she sounds only a teenager. How could her cultivation level be higher than his? Could it be that she took a youth-preserving pill, thus maintaining her voice and appearance at the level of her teenage years?
"You! When has my Xiao family ever offended you? What is the reason for you barging in and attacking us?"

These words left her speechless. Had she started the fight? Wasn't it this man who ordered her to be killed on the spot?
The Xiao family, from top to bottom, all have the same problem: they like to strike first without asking right or wrong. Only when they can't win do they start talking about reason.
