The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

"Lin Xiaoman, stop dawdling and keep up!"

"If a fight breaks out later, you protect the mortals in the courtyard, and I will hold off the people from Xuanmiao Temple."

A screeching sound of brakes rang out.

Ye Li moved swiftly, jumping off the carriage. After a moment's hesitation, she also took the sword from the seat.

She doesn't draw her sword easily, nor does she like to intimidate others with her power.

But the moment the sword is drawn, it signifies that the intensity of the fight will immediately escalate.

"Don't worry, Sister Li, I will definitely protect them."

"You know, I hate those monks who don't treat mortals like human beings."

"Being able to fly and burrow underground is nothing special; if you go back in time, his ancestors were monkeys too."

Lin Xiaoman put down her phone, and her eyes, which had been casual, began to turn serious.

Picking up the phone is life, putting down the phone is work; never slack off.

Ye Li's forehead creased with annoyance. "Where did you get that idea that humans' ancestors were monkeys?"

"Darwin, evolution."

Lin Xiaoman looked up and muttered, "Sister Li, you're supposed to be a modern person, yet you don't know how to keep up with the times. You're not even as good as this old-fashioned person as me."

"..."

Ye Li's lips twitched slightly, and she quickly added, "Evolutionary theory did make a lot of sense in the past."

"But now that spiritual energy has recovered, and people can fly and teleport, do you still think it's reliable?"

It is said that this matter caused a great uproar within Lingtai Temple.

Lin Xiaoman paused for a moment, tilted her head and thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Doesn't this mean that science is no longer scientific at all?

No, I need to hurry up and change my personal motto from "I believe in science" to something else, or it will be too embarrassing.

"Be quiet, the spiritual energy fluctuations are very strong, they've already made their move!"

Ye Li's expression turned serious, and she gripped the longsword tighter, circulating her spiritual energy and suddenly increasing her speed.

"Damn it!"

"I saw it!"

"It's that skinny monk. His body is levitating, his expression is ferocious, and he's performing the Vajra Technique..."

"You beast! How dare you lay a hand on a defenseless youth!"

Lin Xiaoman deeply resented it.

Swish!

The two men moved with lightning speed, instantly blocking Chen Xuan and the skinny monk's path.

"Lingxiao personnel are here, stop immediately!" Lin Xiaoman shouted first.

With her back to Chen Xuan, Ye Li stepped forward, her voice filled with warning, "Lan Tiezhu, you've violated the rules by attacking a mortal in private. Do you really think I, the inspector, don't exist?"

However, to their utter surprise, Lan Tiezhu's expression upon seeing them was one of ecstatic joy.

It was the unparalleled ecstasy of someone who was about to drown suddenly seeing a life-saving bamboo pole extended in front of their face.

"Great! You've finally arrived!"

"Arrest me! Arrest me now!"

Pfft!

Lan Tiezhu could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, scrambling and crawling toward them.

What does it mean to have a ferocious expression? It's clearly because he was so frightened that he lost control of his expression!

Lin Xiaoman scratched her head. "Sister Li, something seems off about this script?"

Weren't we here to save mortals? How did we end up saving Lan Tiezhu?

Seeing Lan Tiezhu's frightened appearance, Ye Li was also somewhat bewildered.

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

Just then, a calm voice came from behind.

After a moment of silence, Ye Li turned to look at the young man in front of her, her gaze gradually becoming serious.

A cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining was so frightened... Such an unbelievable scene... Could the problem lie with this young man?

but.

At a glance, he could easily see through the young man; there was nothing unusual about him.

"Sister Li, look over here!"

Lin Xiaoman, not wanting to miss out on trouble, squatted down next to the fat monk's corpse, poked it, and said, "Dead. This guy is dead."

"Ugh, how brutal, how cruel, he died so tragically, his head was smashed to pieces."

Ye Li stared intently at Chen Xuan. "Did you kill him?"

There were no fluctuations in spiritual energy, no trace of divine soul, and the instruments developed by the Lingtai Academy could not detect any characteristics of a cultivator on this person.

What exactly is going on with this person?

Chen Xuan ignored her, walked past the woman, and went straight to the thin monk on the ground.

"He's going to kill me!"

"Help me! Help me!"

"You people of Lingxiao cannot stand by and watch someone die!"

The skinny monk turned pale with fright and frantically retreated.

"Tsk tsk, this is the first time I've ever seen someone try to kill someone but end up being killed instead, and even get so scared they're like a chicken with its legs trembling. How interesting." Lin Xiaoman's eyes were full of excitement.

The current situation is very clear.

It was obvious that these two were planning to attack the people in the courtyard, but they didn't expect to run into a brick wall.

Looking at Lan Tiezhu, a hint of disgust flashed in Ye Li's eyes.

But as the person in charge of Qingcheng, her duty is to maintain balance.

"Please calm down, sir."

Ye Li advised, "This person violated the rules first. You can hand him over to us for disposal. Rest assured, Lingxiao will never show him any favoritism."

She was unaware of Chen Xuan's identity, nor did she know how a cultivator with no prior information had suddenly appeared in Qingcheng.

But Ling Xiao's reputation was enough to inspire awe in him.

The mortal realm of Heaven, the present-day Heavenly Official.

With one hand, he protects the ancient relics of the world; with the other, he pacifies the reincarnated souls of the world. He governs the past and present on behalf of Heaven, and protects the eternal peace of the land.

It could be said that the current order is maintained thanks to Ling Xiao's best efforts.

A hint of pride couldn't help but show on Lin Xiaoman's little face.

Ling Xiao's name is quite intimidating, and it is known among cultivators.

really.

worked.

Ye Li saw Chen Xuan stop walking.

To her surprise, Chen Xuan didn't ask Ling Xiao, but only glanced at the long sword she was carrying on her back.

"Not bad."

Unexpectedly, not only has the spiritual energy been restored, but also the reincarnation of old friends has made this world increasingly interesting.

"But people shouldn't have unrealistic expectations."

The voice just fell.

Chen Xuan remained indifferent, not taking a step, merely glancing at the scene with a faint look.

hum! !

A clear, resonant sword cry suddenly rang out, and the long sword on Ye Li's back was beyond her control, breaking free from its sheath and transforming into a streak of cold light that shot through the air.

"Holy crap! Holy crap!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiaoman screamed in surprise, much like a three-year-old child suddenly seeing an airplane in the sky.

"Sister Li, look at him! Your sword, your spirit sword—"

The sword light didn't pause at all, instantly traversing the distance, so fast that it was invisible, and pierced through the thin monk's chest in a single moment.

Before he could even scream, his aura was torn to shreds by the overwhelming sword energy.

Even in death, the thin monk's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"I killed that person. If I violated any of your rules, feel free to come and get me."

Chen Xuan flicked his sleeves and casually clapped his hands from a distance.

Clang!

The spirit sword responded and turned back, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, gracefully flying back along its original path and landing steadily in its empty scabbard.

Even after the spirit sword was sheathed, Ye Li remained frozen in place, unable to react in any way.

Aside from the shock in her heart, her expression at this moment was full of astonishment and confusion.

How could this be... Master clearly said that no one in this world could draw this sword except for those who promised it!
