A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

"Unscrupulous methods?" Liu Meiyan thought of the Wu family from back then, her eyes slightly solemn, but there was nothing she could do. She could understand why Lin Xueyi didn't bring Lin Xiaoling; that kind of place wasn't suitable for her, so she agreed with the decision. However, she didn't actually approve of Lin Xueyi going alone, since the other party wasn't a decent person; their methods were shady and shameless.

But he couldn't say these words to Lin Xiaoling; he could only keep them to himself. He prayed in his heart that Lin Xueyi would return safely.

Lin Xueyi, riding in the carriage, soon arrived at the entrance of Yin Valley, where she already felt a very strange aura and pressure.

Her brows furrowed slightly, her bright pupils darted around, and her small mouth pouted slightly. She seemed to know something about the other party's methods.

The internal energy within the body experienced a slight pause during its circulation, but it was only for a moment. Afterward, its circulation became much slower than usual.

"It seems they found a pretty good place, but it's nothing special."

His expression hardened, and his internal energy seemed to have broken through something, flowing freely once again, just as it always had.

Sure enough, this place had no effect on the internal energy generated by the Shangqing Immortal Technique. Speaking of which, what kind of internal energy does the Shangqing Immortal Technique produce? It can't be immortal essence, can it?

Scratching her head, Lin Xueyi became somewhat curious about the attributes of her current internal energy.

"Master Lin, welcome! Although the name of Yin Valley is not pleasant, it is as beautiful as spring all year round. I have specially prepared a banquet for you here. We can enjoy the scenery and drink wine at the same time. This will become a famous story in my Xiaoyao City in the future."

"Whether it's a good story or a lie is up to Lord Luo. However, since Lord Luo has sincerely invited me, it would be too disrespectful of me not to come. Since it is said to be spring-like all year round, then I will take a good look at the spring scenery of this Yin Valley."

As Lin Xueyi stepped off the carriage, she saw Luo Jiushang and several guards already standing at the valley entrance, respectfully waiting for her arrival.

Did the host and guests enjoy themselves to the fullest? Did they clink glasses and toast each other? Yes, that was true, but the meaning of "enjoying themselves to the fullest" varied among the different people with their own thoughts.

"Master Lin, please forgive my son-in-law for what happened before. He didn't know it was you. Now that Feng Tianyang has been executed, let's just let bygones be bygones."

Holding his wine glass, he toasted Lin Xueyi again, but this time Lin Xueyi's glass didn't contain wine, but rather juice that he had specially prepared for her.

The clear color makes it hard to tell what kind of fruit the juice is made from, but the taste is excellent. It's slightly sweet but not cloying, and when combined with the dishes on the table, the flavor is even more delicious.

Luo Jiushang watched as Lin Xueyi drank her juice and used her chopsticks to pick up a plate of steamed sashimi and put it in her mouth, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Lin, how does this steamed sashimi taste?"

"Hmm, it tastes very good, but this sashimi should be a sea fish from the northern seas. I didn't expect to be able to eat it here. I suppose Lord Luo has been thinking about it."

This fish certainly wasn't prepared just yesterday. Either Luo Jiushang wanted to eat it himself and had it prepared, or he knew in advance that he was coming and ordered it to be prepared beforehand.

Regardless, the flavor of this sashimi, even with added seasonings, hasn't changed much. Hmm, this chef's skills are quite good.

However, Lin Xueyi found it a bit strange. Although her medical skills were not very strong and she did not know much about some medicines, she could still tell from the taste that this seasoning would not have any effect on the body.

While it won't enhance the fish's flavor or texture, it also won't harm the human body. So the question is, what is their purpose in adding this?

"Lord Luo, let's have a drink just for this delicious sashimi."

You can't always expect others to toast you. At least until things have really fallen apart, Lin Xueyi still considered herself a polite and well-mannered person and couldn't do that. So she picked up her juice and offered a toast to the other person from afar.

"Master Lin, we became acquainted through a fight. Zhaoyuan Escort Agency will be reopening in other places in the future, and we hope that you can come and support us."

"Okay, no problem, I'll definitely be there." As long as you choose the right side in this confrontation and don't go to the wrong one, otherwise dead people can't build any escort agency.

Looking at this harmonious scene, Luo Jiushang felt that the opportunity was about right, and it was just the right time to make his request.

"How was the mother and daughter duo that Master Lin brought from Fenglou yesterday? Did they serve you very well?"

This was a test. If the mother and daughter didn't say anything they shouldn't, Lin Xueyi wouldn't make any moves. If they did say something, and Lin Xueyi didn't care, then Lin Xueyi wouldn't need to worry anymore. If Lin Xueyi took it to heart, then by now, all their preparations were complete, and even if she were a grandmaster, she would find it difficult to escape their inescapable trap.

"Last night? No, they found their own rooms to sleep in last night. What do you mean by serving me? I have my own hands and feet, why should I need anyone to serve me?"

A feeling of being given an irrelevant answer struck Luo Jiushang's heart. After thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem wrong. What could a little girl who hadn't even reached the age of marriage possibly know? Besides, even if that mother and daughter wanted to do something, she didn't have the ability to do so.

I must have been out of my mind to ask such a question. It's probably because Liu Meiyan and Lin Xueyi were chatting so enthusiastically that she wanted to take her away. I'm still so childish; I guess I was overthinking things.

"Speaking of Phoenix Tower, there is something I would like to ask Lord Luo."

Upon hearing that Lin Xueyi had something to ask him, Luo Jiushang sat up straight. The previous harmonious atmosphere made him nervous about the question.

"Well, I was just asking, it's nothing. Don't be so nervous."

Her innocent appearance, even with a hint of shyness on her face, made it seem as if this matter was somewhat difficult to talk about. If they had seen how Lin Xueyi teased Zhao Yumo before, they would probably have drawn their swords in warning.

"Master Lin, please ask any questions you may have. I will answer them to the best of my ability."

Hearing Lin Xueyi say this, Luo Jiushang dared not believe it. Since this grandmaster had asked such a question, he dared not take it lightly.

"Um, a friend of mine came here a few days ago, and I later heard that he was killed by Lord Luo in the Phoenix Pavilion. I wonder if you could give me an explanation?"

A friend of mine was killed by him. And now I have to explain? Explain what?! I'm internally cursing, but I still ask aloud with a straight face.

"I don't know who it is."

"Who is it? Does Lord Luo refuse to say so openly, or has Lord Luo killed too many people recently and can no longer tell who it is?"

Although he wore a smile, his tone was as chilling as the coldest winter wind, freezing one to the bone. The visitor was clearly hostile, and a strong sense of vigilance flashed through Luo Jiushang's mind.

"Fenglou, the person I killed, Liu Xuan?"

"Ah, so Lord Luo knew. I thought you wouldn't admit it. Now that you know, give me an explanation instead of all this nonsense."

Lin Xueyi took another sip of juice, her eyes still crinkling with a smile. But it was this expression that made Luo Jiushang unsure of what she was thinking.

However, under these circumstances, he couldn't afford to hesitate any longer. If the opponent made the first move, all his previous preparations would be in vain. Only by seizing the opportunity first could he take control and defeat this grandmaster in one fell swoop.

"Make your move." This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; to miss a chance is to suffer the consequences. With this thought in mind, Luo Jiushang instantly made up his mind to directly break ties with Lin Xueyi.

Why bother trying to win her sincere allegiance or to make her coexist peacefully with you? Bah! Just take action, capture her, and there are plenty of ways to make her your own.

"Heavenly Net Formation, capture her!"

With a wave of his hand, dozens of men in blue robes leaped out of the bushes and spread out, each holding a piece of gold and silver silk netting.

"Huh? Is this a fishing net? By the way, can you catch fish with it and eat them?"

Lin Xueyi suddenly remembered the fishing net array in the Valley of Heartbreak from a TV show she had seen before. However, she felt that this kind of thing was better suited for fishing, at least she could catch some fish to eat.

Can this fishing net be used for fishing?

Lin Xueyi's innocent voice made Luo Jiushang feel veins popping out on his forehead. How could anyone talk like that? Besides, what kind of fishing net is that? A fishing net made of gold and silver threads? What fisherman could afford such a net?

“Master Lin, this is not a fishing net. I’ve heard that your palm technique is very powerful. I’d like to see which is more powerful, your palm technique or my Golden Silk and Silver Thread Dragon-Binding Net.”

Legend has it that Lin Xueyi's palm techniques are often accompanied by a dragon's roar and a golden dragon formed by the palm wind, and her treasure is called the Dragon Binding Net, which is clearly designed to counter her palm techniques.

His most proficient martial arts were being countered, and once he was at a disadvantage and captured by the Dragon-Binding Net, he would be at the mercy of the net. With her in his grasp, wouldn't he be able to bring her under his control?

"Golden and silver threads bind the dragon net? This name sounds so strange. If you can't come up with a name, don't just give it a random one. Is it really appropriate to name a tattered fishing net like this?"

Once again, his trump card was called a broken fishing net, which enraged Luo Jiushang. This little girl was not cute at all, and he was going to show her his skills in a moment.

Although Lin Xueyi called it a broken fishing net, in her perception, this golden and silver thread dragon-binding net was still very strong. At least in the areas where it was manifested, it still had a certain restraining effect on her palm techniques.

In addition, given the previous experience of his internal energy being suppressed, a typical grandmaster might actually have been caught off guard and failed here.

“Little girl, first your inner energy was suppressed at the Innate Realm, and now there’s a treasure like the Golden Silk and Silver Thread Dragon Binding Net that can restrain you. Let’s see where you can run now. Oh, right, I forgot to mention, the sashimi you ate earlier had Soft Wisdom Grass in it, and the juice you drank was made from Water Lotus Fruit. Eating these two things together will cause your blood and qi to circulate poorly. In short, you’ll feel dizzy, lightheaded, and weak in your limbs.”

Seeing Lin Xueyi stagger noticeably after he spoke, even clutching her forehead and shaking her head vigorously, yet still appearing dizzy, he knew that his preparations had worked.

"Haha, to prevent you from escaping, look around. I've already arranged for over a hundred archers. Even if you try to run, you'll have nowhere to run. Be careful not to get riddled with arrows. Such a cute little body, if dozens of arrows were stuck in it, that wouldn't be pretty. Hahahaha."

He laughed wildly, but he couldn't help it. He was about to capture a true Grandmaster-level expert alive. The timing, the location, and the people were all in his hands. Heaven was on his side to help him succeed.

"Father-in-law, congratulations! After capturing Lin Xueyi alive, Xiaoyao City will become one of the largest forces in the martial arts world of Qingzhou. Congratulations, father-in-law!"

"Congratulations, City Lord."

After hearing Feng Kenan's words, the people around also congratulated Luo Jiushang. In their eyes, Lin Xueyi was doomed. Almost all her escape routes were blocked, and she herself was unable to use the methods of a Grandmaster because of poisoning and suppression of her cultivation level.

How could they possibly fail under these circumstances? Their hearts were filled with the excitement of victory, and they were even thinking about how to spread the news of capturing Lin Xueyi alive, a story that would shake the martial arts world.

Imagine, one day in the future, they can proudly tell their friends and children that the current guardian master of Xiaoyao City was captured alive by them and "persuaded" by them.

"Master Lin, you are now at your wit's end. I think you should be a wise man and surrender obediently. As long as you surrender obediently, I guarantee that your status in our Xiaoyao City will be second only to the emperor."

"Sigh... To be honest, I always thought that as a great hero in the martial arts world, your words would be profound and insightful, but instead you utter such vulgarities. The battle is not over yet, and the winner is still undecided, but you're already barking and howling here. I have never seen such a shameless person."

He was scolded by Lin Xueyi's soft, sweet voice. Although it sounded nice, Luo Jiushang was not the kind of good-for-nothing who would get excited if he was scolded, especially by a little girl.

His hands clenched into fists, his wide eyes fixed on the girl who was still stumbling and nearly falling. He felt no pity whatsoever.

"Go ahead, and remember, as long as you don't die, you can do whatever you want with them."

Upon hearing the order, the men in black, using footwork they had practiced hundreds of times before, charged straight at Lin Xueyi in a strange formation.

"The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms: The Dragon Regrets."

With a single move, the golden dragon formed from the inner energy landed on the giant net. Although it delayed the opponent's attack, it dissipated into the golden net after less than a minute of stalemate.

Under Lin Xueyi's attack, Luo Jiushang felt as if his heart was in his throat. Only when the golden dragon dissipated did he feel relieved. His plan had succeeded; Lin Xueyi's palm technique was now completely ineffective.

"Go get her! Take her down in one fell swoop!"

Seeing the golden dragon dissipate, the men in black seemed to be injected with adrenaline. They had been somewhat apprehensive before, but the moment the golden dragon vanished, all their fear disappeared. Fear? It didn't exist.

“Father-in-law, let me go too. Although I can’t kill her, Yang’er’s life must be taken.”

Seeing this, Feng Kenan naturally wouldn't let the opportunity slip by. With Luo Jiushang's approval, he also drew his sword and lunged at Lin Xueyi. Although he would have to stay behind the giant net, as long as he could trap her, he could properly avenge Yang'er's slap.

Just as these people were getting excited, they saw Lin Xueyi, who should have been stumbling, actually stand firm and then draw a silver soft sword from her slender waist. Under the influence of her internal energy, it instantly became hard and erect.

"I still prefer soft swords. They can be both soft and hard. When they are soft, they can be inserted into the waist, and when they are hard, they can pierce into a person's body."

"Hey, let's have some fun!"

When the crowd saw the silver sword that suddenly appeared in Lin Xueyi's hand and her joyful smile, some people felt a sense of fear rising in their hearts. However, some voices also rang out at this moment.

"She's already at her limit, she's just pretending to be calm, we can't fall for it."

Victory is within reach, but how many people can remain calm? Crisis is imminent, yet they are unaware of it. At this moment, they have already stepped into the gates of hell.

"A fleeting, startling shadow; a single sword cleaves the heavens."

Upon hearing Lin Xueyi's calm words, Luo Jiushang instantly realized he had made a serious mistake. At this moment, he dared not linger there, nor did he dare to call his son-in-law and subordinates. With a stomp of his foot, he had already run dozens of meters away.

At that moment, a sword light that seemed capable of cleaving the heavens rose across the sky and slammed heavily into the Yin Valley. As the sword light passed, most of the mountains on either side of the Yin Valley had been sheared away.

The sheared mountain peak slowly crashed onto the ground, making a booming sound.
