A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

The Divine Wind Boat sped away and soon crossed the border into the Yue Kingdom. Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei stood inside the boat, admiring the scenery along the way.

Xiao Mei asked somewhat anxiously, "Miss, are we leaving Yuanwu Kingdom like this?"

Xin Ruyin was also somewhat reluctant, but still said, "Now that the Liu family and Xu Yan of the Tianxing Sect have disappeared at the same time, if we continue to stay there, we will probably attract a lot of trouble. What's more, there is the Fu family who are always planning to take me back. We can't stay in Yuanwu Kingdom any longer."

Xiaomei agreed with her mistress's point, but it was her first time traveling abroad, so she was inevitably a little nervous. She couldn't help but glance at the calm and composed Lin He beside her. Lin He, sensing her nervousness, quickly comforted her.

"Xiaomei, I forgot to tell you something. Actually, my current identity is the town garrison commander of Huangfeng Valley Market. As long as you come there with me, I will naturally make proper arrangements for you, so don't worry."

"What?" Xiaomei's expression relaxed upon hearing this, and she felt relieved. Suddenly, she thought of something and quickly looked at Xin Ruyin beside her. Seeing that Xin Ruyin's expression was normal, as if she already knew, Xiaomei understood. Her gaze shifted between the two of them, full of curiosity.

"Xiaomei, what are you looking at?"

Xin Ruyin, who was standing nearby, noticed Xiaomei's unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask. Seeing this, Xiaomei whispered mysteriously in her ear, "..."

"Miss, what stage has your relationship with Young Master Lin reached? You've been spending every day together these past two weeks, has anything happened...?"

Hearing Xiaomei's question, Xin Ruyin blushed slightly and couldn't help but pat her shoulder, interrupting her, "You little devil, what are you thinking about?"

The master and servant were whispering to each other, which Lin He could naturally hear. However, he deliberately pretended not to hear. As they drew closer to the Yellow Maple Valley market, Lin He finally relaxed and smiled.

"At the speed of this Divine Wind Boat, it won't be long before we reach Huangfeng Valley Market. Once we're there, with the support of a powerful formation, we won't have to worry even if some expert comes looking for trouble."

Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Xiao Mei touched the Divine Wind Boat and said with envy, "Is this a top-tier flying magic artifact? It's so fast! When will I be able to own such a magic artifact?"

Xin Ruyin affectionately patted her head and said, "Don't be discouraged. When we get to the market, with your help, we can open a small array shop and sell array flags and array plates. We don't need to be rich, but earning some spirit stones shouldn't be a problem."

Xiao Mei was also full of confidence after hearing this, "That's right. With Miss's skill in array formations, you can earn spirit stones by selling anything. As long as we save a little every day, we will be able to afford such a fine flying magic weapon one day."

The two chatted happily, dreaming about the future, and the sense of loss from being far from their homeland gradually faded. Lin He smiled knowingly at this and was just thinking of saying something when suddenly an extremely cold divine sense swept over the three of them.

This person's divine sense was clearly much stronger than Lin He's. It was only when they probed over that Lin He discovered them. Moreover, this person had deliberately exposed themselves without any intention of hiding. Their purpose was obvious: to intimidate Lin He and the other two.

Sensing such a powerful divine sense, Lin He's face turned extremely gloomy. He was about to reach Huangfeng Valley Market and was about to be safe, but at this moment, the worst thing happened. The enemy finally caught up with them, and they were not ordinary opponents.

Even Lin He looked like this, let alone Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei. The two women were so frightened by this cold divine sense that their faces turned pale. The two women stood on the left and right sides of Lin He, each holding onto the hem of his clothes, and looked at him at the same time. Clearly, Lin He was still the backbone here.

"Young master..."

While comforting Xiaomei, Xin Ruyin looked at Lin He and tentatively asked, "Young Master, shall we use that?"

Lin He looked at her with an unprecedentedly serious expression. "Indeed, judging from the opponent's spiritual sense, they are probably no ordinary opponent. They are most likely a Core Formation stage cultivator. We will probably be caught by the enemy before we even reach Huangfeng Valley Market. In that case, we might as well take the initiative and use that Reversed Five Elements Formation to fight back."

Xin Ruyin nodded and took out the Reversed Five Elements Formation without hesitation. Lin He then activated his magic power, and the Divine Wind Boat quickly landed on the ground.

Over the past two weeks, Lin He has finally learned some basic formations. With the help of Xin Ruyin, a formation genius, and Xiao Mei assisting him, the three of them worked together to set up the formation. After spending several mid-grade spirit stones, they finally got it set up.

After setting up the formation, Lin He did not activate it. Instead, he signaled the two women to hide, while he stood on a boulder and waited.

Sure enough, in just a short while, three streaks of light flew over, hovered in mid-air, and coldly looked at Lin He.

The man in the center was an old man with a pigeon-like face. At this moment, his expression was somewhat blank, as if he were not a living person. However, he was obviously of the highest status, and his cultivation was unfathomable. Lin He could not even detect the other party's specific realm, and his heart sank.

On either side stood two elders at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, one fat and one thin. The fat elder was more composed and didn't rush to speak, while the thin elder was short-tempered and couldn't help but shout angrily.

"You brat, you killed Xu Yan, didn't you? Now it's time for blood to pay for this."

The fat old man frowned and quickly stopped him, saying, "Be careful, this kid is waiting for us here, he might have set some kind of trap."

The old man in the center, with a blank expression and a pigeon-like face, spoke at this moment; his voice was somewhat aged.

"It's just a formation, what's so special about it? The descendants of my Xu family are truly useless, actually being killed by such a mere early Foundation Establishment cultivator. Each generation is worse than the last. For someone like this, I wasted a high-level spirit puppet talisman. You two, go and bring him back to me immediately."

Upon receiving the order, the two immediately moved and flew over at the same time, stopping about twenty feet away from Lin He.

Upon learning that the other party had set up a formation, the two of them naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to enter it without doing so. Instead, they prepared to cast spells from a distance.

Seeing that the other party did not enter the formation, Lin He was not in a hurry. He looked at the old man in the middle and saw that he seemed to disdain to make a move. Only then did he feel at ease and made a plan.

"Who is Xu Yan? You must be mistaken. I have never met any Xu Yan."

"The results of my ancestor's investigation, which he personally obtained through secret techniques, are not open to your argument. If you surrender now and come back with us, we can grant you a quicker death."

"Heh heh, surrender now?"

Lin He suddenly revealed a strange smile, and then waved his hand, and a huge emerald green figure pounced on the two of them.
