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

Chapter 45 She has a kind heart, but not much.
Merchants must have seen that the Ni beast was quite popular among cultivators, and that some cultivators were willing to buy it as a spirit pet. So they captured wild Ni beasts and tamed them. Through selective breeding, they created this kind of gentle and human-like spirit pet Ni beast.

This lion-like beast has lost its original aggressiveness and survival ability; it would certainly die if released into the wild.

She couldn't release them, nor could she keep them as pets, so she naturally wouldn't buy them to cause herself trouble. All she could do was give some spirit stones and ask the traveling merchants to help them find good owners. She had a kind heart, but not much.

Besides strolling around Lishan City, she also wanted to see what local delicacies Lishan City had to offer so she could buy some and put them in her storage bag. When she was in the far north, far from any village or shop, and her cravings struck her, she could take them out and enjoy them.

Just then, among the passing cultivators, someone shouted "Thief!" Then an old woman with gray hair, leaning on a cane, appeared beside her, crying and saying that her storage bag had been stolen and begging her to help retrieve it.

The old woman was a Qi Refining stage cultivator. She didn't take any anti-aging pills, so her appearance aged normally.

Lin Yan's face was obscured by a veil, making it impossible to see her features. She agreed to the request and followed the direction the old woman had indicated.

There were many pavilions here. After she entered, it was as if she had entered a new world. The fog was thick and she could not see the way ahead.

She put down the rabbit, flicked her sleeves, and several plum blossom-shaped darts flew out, accompanied by exclamations of surprise amidst the smoke.

"You think you can trap me with such a simple illusion array?" Lin Yan herself also studies illusion arrays and possesses advanced illusion array manuals. Although she has not yet fully mastered them, breaking through this lowest-level illusion array is a piece of cake.

Lin Yan didn't even need to analyze how to break the formation; she simply used the Cold Wind Sword to violently slash open the formation and walked out. She then unleashed her sword energy, shattering the formation and revealing the cultivators hidden within.

She retorted sarcastically, "Oh dear, in broad daylight, you're all dressed in all black, it's quite an eyesore!"

The group exchanged glances and attacked her, wielding various magical weapons.

Her face was as cold as ice. While using the Frostwind Sword to defend herself, she also dodged sneak attacks. During the fight, she secretly took out dozens of first-grade explosive talismans and threw them out at once.

——Boom, boom, boom!

As the explosive talisman detonated, smoke billowed out. She drew her sword and thrust it at a black-clad monk who was unable to dodge in time and had suffered the most damage from the talisman.

The man couldn't dodge in time and was pierced through the body.

The remaining black-clad monks, seeing her ruthlessness, began to retreat...

Her gaze was icy, as if she were looking at inanimate objects. To prevent their escape, she formed a hand seal and set up a barrier, covering up the barrier that the group had erected.

Now it's all good. There's no need to worry that the barrier they set up won't withstand our attacks, causing the surrounding houses and buildings to collapse.

These people, fearing she might escape, had set up both the formation and a protective barrier. This was to prevent her from breaking the formation and running away. Unexpectedly, the situation has reversed; they can't escape even if they want to.

Among the black-clad monks, someone shouted, "Don't panic! Go! Kill her!"

Lin Yan wasn't in a hurry. In her eyes, these people were like mice, and she would play a cat-and-mouse game, dealing with them one by one.

Her attacks were incredibly fast; each black-clad cultivator was pierced with a hole, blood gushing out, yet they didn't die immediately. At this point, simply taking a hemostatic pill would heal their injuries.

But she didn't give them a chance to take hemostatic medicine. Without timely hemostasis, and fighting on, they couldn't withstand the excessive blood loss and fainted. She ended the game, slashing down with her sword, cutting everyone's throats. Fearing some might not be completely dead, she made a few more cuts.

Lin Yan took all the storage bags from them, removed the barrier, turned a corner, and walked out through another alley.

The depraved organization doesn't understand her at all. Having learned from the failed assassination attempt last time, sending these lowly Karami to ambush her shows they don't take her seriously at all.

Especially that old woman, her acting was terrible.

She didn't go to the old woman; she needed to leave someone alive to report the news. She didn't actively plunder other people's treasures, but if someone came to her, and she killed them in retaliation and took their treasures, that was a different story.

Lin Yan was afraid that leaving one survivor to report back was not enough, so after buying food and returning to the flying boat, she took out her communication jade disc and commented on the post again.

An anonymous cultivator: Alas, this is terrifying. I thought I would be blessed after escaping, but who knew that because of my comments, I would be hunted down by this organization and they wanted to silence me. Fortunately, I escaped again by sheer luck.

Since this comment was near the bottom of the list, other cultivators certainly wouldn't scroll down to find it. She took out another communication jade disc, opened her own posts, scrolled down, and pinned the comment she had just posted to the top.

It's perfectly reasonable for someone to pin their own comment!
After she finished distributing the food, she opened the food box, and a fragrant, spicy aroma wafted out. The slices of meat inside were covered in seasonings and garnished with chopped scallions. Just smelling it made her mouth water.

Since that hotpot meal, she hasn't eaten such strongly flavored food again. Cultivators don't care much for their appetites; they either don't eat at all, or if they do, it's very bland. In the cities where cultivators live, there are very few such spicy dishes.

Lishan is different; its local specialty is spicy food. Spicy braised dishes, in particular, are very popular there.

The shop owner said that the meat used for the spicy braised meat is not ordinary livestock meat, but is braised by white-feathered beasts that have grown up eating spirit grains, and then brushed with a special spicy sauce, so that the meat slices are not only spicy, but also a little numbing and fragrant.

The shopkeeper boasted wildly, but it was really just spicy braised duck. If it were just ordinary braised duck, cultivators wouldn't be interested, but saying it was made from a white-feathered beast raised on spirit grains was a completely different story, instantly elevating it several levels.

Sigh, she didn't want to be taken advantage of, but she couldn't resist the temptation!
She finished a plate of spicy braised food with tears streaming down her face, not because she was sad or upset, but because of the spiciness.

After finishing her meal, she cast a cleansing spell on herself, and she was once again the elegant fairy, cold and aloof as ice.

At this moment, she felt a chaotic power coming from the direction of Lishan. With a loud "boom", a powerful force surged out and rippled outwards in the form of waves, crashing into the barrier of Lishan City. The barrier displayed a light screen and quickly returned to normal.

Seeing the Red Enchantress trembling uneasily, she instructed it to stay in the room, then pushed open the door and went out, standing on the corridor looking towards Lishan.

Amidst the thunderous roar of a clear, bright sky, dark clouds gathered in an instant, rolling in like surging waves. The dark clouds blotted out the sun, spreading outwards from Lishan Mountain, with lightning flashing intermittently within them, as if they would strike down at any moment.

The sight was so strange that anyone who didn't know better would think a cultivator was undergoing tribulation.

Then a torrential downpour began, the dark clouds were pressed even lower, and the distant Lishan Mountain could no longer be seen with the naked eye.

She had a bad feeling, as if there was some kind of pressure making her uneasy and anxious...

Thank you so much for all the votes! I'm so touched! (*) I'm almost in tears! It would be even better if you could leave a comment in the book club! ^
