A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

"Trash outside?" Su Mengsha suddenly remembered her own problem and looked at her father. "It can't really be like this, right? You're thinking of selling Xueyi for my sake, Dad? You..."

Su Mengsha felt a headache coming on. She had thought it was just a coincidence, but she hadn't expected that her father had already made a deal with this elder of the Lingzang Sword Sect, exchanging Lin Xueyi's freedom for her own. How could she bear this?

"Xueyi, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I..."

"Sister Su, this has nothing to do with you. You didn't know about these things in the first place. Besides, I will personally go and have a good talk with their sect leader after this Lingzang Sword Sect has finished causing trouble!"

This heated discussion, delivered through gritted teeth, made Su Mengsha want to laugh but dared not, while Hong Gu burst out laughing. Elder Ling, on the other hand, dared not speak his anger and even felt a little flustered.

"Well, at this point, I think we should shift the focus to the Sea Mountain Cave. We can put other things aside for now."

Elder Ling admitted defeat, he really admitted defeat. There was no other way; if he still didn't admit defeat and went to cause trouble for the Ling Cangjian Sect, that would be truly causing a huge problem.

"Hmph, you're talking about those idiots and freaks outside."

Lin Xueyi pointed to the outside, which was outside Flying Eagle Fortress. She knew about the Sea Mountain Cave and Su Mengsha's situation, and she came here to help Su Mengsha resolve these troubles.

"What use are you guys to those weaklings?"

Lin Xueyi's words were quite blunt, but Elder Ling did not show any change; in fact, he still wore an apologetic smile.

This made Lin Xueyi look at this so-called elder of the Lingzang Sword Sect with new respect. No matter what he was, as a member of the martial arts world, he was able to tolerate her provocation without even uttering a rebuttal.

Others might think he lacks dignity, but it's precisely this kind of person who is the most terrifying, because you never know when or where he might stab you in the back.

"Listen up, people of Flying Eagle Fortress! I am Tang Tong, the master of Haishan Cave. You are now surrounded by Haishan Cave. You'd better come out and surrender obediently, bring your young lady out to be my son's wife, and I'll spare your lives. If you continue to resist, don't blame us for being impolite."

Although somewhat annoyed by the still-closed gate, Tang Tong could no longer contain his restlessness and let out a loud shout that echoed into Flying Eagle Fortress, naturally reaching Lin Xueyi's ears as well.

He curled his lips into a cold smile, glanced at the crowd around him, and then fixed his eyes on Su Mengsha.

"Sister Su, I've resolved this matter for you. I should be leaving now, as I still need to travel around looking for Ruoxue's whereabouts."

Today is Singles' Day! Ah, ah, ah, the author and his wife went to eat hot pot! Hehehe, so happy, so happy...

Chapter 45: Departure Without Saying Goodbye

Tang Tong was extremely pleased at this moment. In his eyes, Flying Eagle Fortress was already his for the taking. Although he was temporarily blocked outside the gate, he thought that someone would soon come out and welcome him, the new master, inside.

However, just as he was having a pleasant dream, a man in black appeared in front of him in a slightly anxious manner.

"Why are you here at this hour? Didn't you say you were waiting for the signal?"

"A signal? We've already received it. Didn't a rooftop fly off?" Upon seeing the man in black appear, Tang Tong suddenly felt something was amiss. If the signal his subordinates had mentioned earlier was incorrect, then where did this signal come from?

"What? What rooftop are you talking about? Our people haven't even started moving yet, how did you get here? Flying Snow Sword hasn't been dealt with yet, you're just asking to be sent to your deaths!"

The man in black was speechless with anger, but he didn't know what to say to these dim-witted people from Haishan Cave. The situation had already exceeded their expectations and was out of their control.

"Hmph, it's just the Flying Snow Sword, what's so scary about it? Besides, so what if the Lingzang Sword Sect is in there? We've annexed Flying Eagle Fortress, do you think the Lingzang Sword Sect can cause us any trouble? Do they have the guts?"

Since a problem has already arisen, Tang Tong felt there was no need to be so afraid. He would deal with whatever came his way, and besides, they were still the ones with the advantage. Even if they launched a strong attack, they could still take Flying Eagle Fortress.

Knowing what Tang Tong was thinking, the man in black merely glanced coldly at the man. It seemed that things in Binzhou should not continue for the time being. After causing such a commotion for a while, the Holy Dragon Palace and the Netherworld Ghost Valley had probably turned their attention to this area. In that case, they should refrain from any further activity for the time being.

Coincidentally, there has been some progress in Qingzhou as well. They can lie low for the time being and prepare to go to Qingzhou to reorganize the martial arts world there.

As for this so-called ally, ha, more like a useless teammate, but there's no use thinking about it now.

"I'll go find someone else first, and I'll come back to support you in a bit. You must hold on."

Making use of waste—since so many people have come, he can't let them go to waste. He should first weaken Flying Eagle Fortress and Zeng Yinghong, and incidentally also weaken the strength of Lingzang Sword Sect. Why not?

"Master, he just left like that. Aren't you afraid they'll never come back?"

"Never to return? Ha, if they want to gain a foothold in Binzhou, they naturally can't associate with those prestigious sects. We so-called heretics are their best choice. What, if they don't come to help us, are they going to help Flying Eagle Fortress instead?"

Tang Tong saw it clearly: these people who hid their true colors couldn't stand the light of day. Naturally, they would choose to cooperate with evil people. This was the source of his confidence to cooperate with them and even break off the cooperation.

"So it's you who have the audacity to ask my sister Su to marry into your family?"

A delicate yet angry voice made everyone in the Sea Mountain Cave, who had been blocking the gates of Eagle Fortress, look up and see a petite little girl with pigtails slowly descending from mid-air.

She was very cute and innocent, especially her clear eyes, which made these evil people suddenly feel like they wanted to taint those clear eyes with a trace of turbidity.

"Cave Master, this little girl is so cute, should we go up and have some meat with her later?"

"Oh? Haha, sure, don't worry, you'll all have meat to eat, you'll all have meat to eat..."

Tang Tong also saw the little girl's appearance. Although he was shocked, she was, after all, just a little girl; how powerful could she possibly be? However, he had no idea that Lin Xueyi, who was already seething with anger, could no longer suppress her rage after hearing their crazy innuendo.

"You will all die..."

The people from Haishan Cave, who were just thinking about dividing the spoils, were now completely stunned. In their eyes, the cracks in the earth were spreading wildly outwards from Lin Xueyi as the center.

"Zhao Ke wears a silk tassel on his hat, his Wu hook sword gleams like frost and snow, his silver saddle shines on his white horse, and he gallops like a shooting star. He kills one man in ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles. After the deed is done, he dusts off his clothes and leaves, concealing his merit and fame."

No one knew where Lin Xueyi's sword came from, nor did anyone know what had happened here, because when Su Mengsha led everyone to the scene, all they saw were the corpses of the people from Haishan Cave lying all over the ground.

Even Tang Tong and Tang Bei have become victims of the sword. If there was any real gain, it might be the voice of Lin Xueyi that they heard on their way here, which is the poem that was enough to shock the world.

As for where Lin Xueyi went, Su Mengsha didn't know either. The only thing she knew was that she was still alive. After killing so many people, she still managed to leave this place alive.

"Xueyi..."

Looking at the corpses scattered around, Su Mengsha slowly sat down on the ground. She regretted letting Lin Xueyi come with her to Flying Eagle Fortress. These were things that shouldn't have been hers to get involved in, but she had dragged her into it anyway.

Upon seeing this scene, Su Tiefeng uttered two words filled with shock, before Hong Gu gave him a hard smack on the head.

"Senior Hong Gu, why did you hit me?"

"You swore and you deserve to be hit? Look at you, you're older than that young girl, yet you're so much worse than her. You should be practicing your martial arts properly so that you can close the gap with her next time you meet."

"Yes...yes, I need to study martial arts diligently so that when I see Xueyi again, it will be my turn to protect her."

Although Hong Gu was scolding Su Tiefeng, she was actually trying to enlighten Su Mengsha. Seeing that she had finally recovered, she nodded with relief. However, she did not reveal her guess, because if Lin Xueyi was really a master, then even if Su Mengsha cultivated more, she would probably find it difficult to reach that level.

Aside from Su Mengsha and the others, the most conflicted were the elders of the Lingzang Sword Sect. Their purpose in coming here was for Lin Xueyi, but now, instead of taking her back, they'd offended this extremely powerful figure. If what she said before was true, they would have to go to the Lingzang Sword Sect for a serious talk.

Elder Ling was already trembling at the sight. In the end, he could only take a deep breath and try to maintain a good relationship with Flying Eagle Fortress, especially with Su Mengsha. As long as Su Mengsha's influence was there, they probably wouldn't kill them all. Well, maybe.

Main text: Chapter Forty-Six: The Holy Dragon Palace

The woman sitting in the grand hall was carefully reading the letters that had been brought to her by the servants below. If Lin Xueyi were here, she would see that all the letters on the table, long and short, were about her.

"Hahaha, not bad, not bad, as expected of my sister, she can speak eloquently. It seems she has intimidated those hillbillies from Binzhou. Hmm, this girl seems to have had so much fun outside that she has forgotten that her older sister is waiting for her at home."

"It's understandable that the young lady has forgotten to come home for a while because she rarely has so much fun outside. If the Palace Master really misses her, he can have me personally bring her back."

"Hmph, what's the point of bringing her back? She ran away on her own. Do you know how worried our people were about her? Since she still doesn't want to go home, then we won't let her come back. When she realizes she should go home, she'll have to apologize properly."

The palace master spoke of wanting Lin Xueyi to go home, but he was full of dissatisfaction. A little girl like her, sneaking out for no reason, doesn't she know how dangerous it is outside? There are so many wild men and women, which one wouldn't be interested in such a cute little girl like her? She really doesn't give her, her older sister, any peace of mind.

Seeing the hesitant look on the people below, I was a little puzzled, so I asked again.

"Elder Sun, you seem to be hesitating to speak. Is there something you haven't said?"

"Palace Master, there is indeed something I wish to report to you, but I am unsure whether I should."

"Didn't I say that you can say anything about Xueyi? As for whether she is in any danger, you don't need to say anything. Let my Heavenly Guards go there. Anyone who dares to mess with Xueyi will be dealt with."

What could Elder Sun say at this point? You told your sister to suffer some hardship outside before coming back, but before she'd even really suffered, you wanted to avenge her and even sent out your personal guards. You practically sent out your secret guards and the Earthly Fiend Guards too.

"What? The opponent is very strong. Even my Heavenly Guards are no match for them? That shouldn't be the case. Those are thirty-six top-level Innate Realm experts. If they are not enough, could they be from the Netherworld Ghost Valley?"

"No, that's not it. It's just that when we were secretly protecting the young lady, we discovered that the people from the Netherworld Ghost Valley were also secretly investigating her, and it seemed like they were also protecting her."

"Huh? People from the Netherworld Ghost Valley are also protecting Xueyi? What are they doing here? What is that wretched woman thinking? Is she planning to kidnap Xueyi and force us to submit?"

She wasn't entirely sure about the purpose of the Netherworld Ghost Valley, but since they had already appeared, they would inevitably affect Lin Xueyi's safety, a fact she couldn't ignore.

"Elder Sun, I remember I specially trained a ten-person squad for Xueyi to protect her. How is it? Is the training almost complete?"

"Yes, they're almost there. This ten-person team specializes in practicing the combined combat formations of the Guardians, and they're all at the top level of the Acquired Realm. Even if they encounter an Innate Realm opponent, they can put up a fight."

"The day after tomorrow's top level is still a bit too low. But this way no one will suspect anything. Let them disguise themselves and go to Xueyi's side to protect her well. Make sure nothing happens to her."

"Understood, I will make the arrangements immediately."

"Hmm, besides this, has anything else happened?"

Elder Sun thought for a moment and had no other questions to ask. Just as the Palace Master nodded, thinking that things had come to this point, and was about to let Elder Sun leave, a female disciple carrying an urgent letter entered the hall.

"Palace Master, Palace Master, it's an urgent message from the young lady."

"Bring it up quickly." Upon hearing that it was an urgent letter about Lin Xueyi, the palace master didn't hesitate any longer and immediately had it brought over so she could examine it directly.

There wasn't really any major power in Binzhou; it was just a few small places where even those born with innate abilities could rule as kings and lords, so they wouldn't cause any trouble. However, as she thought this, she noticed that the Palace Master's brows were furrowing deeper and deeper.

"You bastards, how dare you make a move on my little Xueyi? Who gave them the courage?"

"Palace Master, what's wrong?"

In a fit of rage, he smashed his own table to pieces with a single blow. If it weren't for the good quality of the chair, even the chair would probably have been destroyed. Elder Sun quickly tried to comfort him.

"Please calm down and let's resolve this matter first."

"Hmph, the mere Lingzang Sword Sect actually dares to announce that they want Xueyi to be their young sect leader's wife. They should take a good look at themselves and see what kind of person their young sect leader is, daring to have designs on my Xueyi."

Someone actually dared to lay a hand on the young lady! No wonder the palace master was so angry. If it were her, she would be furious too. She had watched Lin Xueyi grow up since she was a child, and now someone was trying to bully her. How could she tolerate this?

"Palace Master, I will take my Star River Guards to have a good talk with the leader of the Lingzang Sword Sect and discuss some life principles with him."

"Hmm? Elder Sun, you want to do it yourself?"

"Of course. Xueyi is someone I've watched grow up. If we don't have a proper discussion about life and death with her, they'll think our Holy Dragon Palace is easy to bully."

Hearing Elder Sun say this, the Palace Master couldn't help but smile slightly. "I need to stay in the palace and shouldn't go out. You can go and see what kind of audacity the Lingzang Sword Sect has to dare to look for Xueyi like this."

"Yes... But Palace Master, when I arrive in Binzhou, I might encounter the young lady. Should I bring her back, or should I bring her back with me?"

The question made the palace master silent for a moment, and finally he sighed slightly, "If you see her, ask her if she has had enough fun. If not, let her have some more fun outside."

"But..."

"Don't worry, although it's dangerous outside, as long as we take precautions, nothing serious should happen. She's just a child. I don't think those so-called martial arts masters would bother a little girl."

Elder Sun carefully examined the Palace Master's eyes, then smiled knowingly. "Just spoil her. I'll go out now, gather my men, and give this Lingzang Sword Sect a good talking to."

Watching Elder Sun's departing figure, the palace master opened her mouth, wanting to say something but then stopped. Even after he disappeared, she still didn't say what she wanted to say. In fact, she really wanted to say, "Why didn't you try to persuade her one more time? If you had, she could have let you bring her back."

It's been a long time since I've done a casual online relationship. So, I thought I'd do it this time, with someone's book, "I Heard You're Going to Betray the 2D World," by author Xiong Dada Jun. I've read part of it myself and thought it was pretty good. If you guys like this kind of style, you should check it out. (＾－＾)V
