His eyes swept over the Langhuan Pavilion not far away. It was said to be the largest jewelry store in Zhongzhou. Surely there would be a more suitable piece of jewelry for Young Master Ling there.

As for clothes, she didn't want to think about it. She had seen the clothes Lin Xueyi carried, and they were all very exquisite. Basically, one piece of clothing could sustain her for a long time.

However, just as they reached the door and before they even went inside, Lin Xueyi pulled her to a stop. Before she could even fully express her confusion, a dark figure suddenly burst out from inside.

A loud crashing sound filled the air as the door shattered, sending splinters of wood flying everywhere. Before Lin Xueyi could even move her hand, several figures appeared before her. Their hands moved like fluttering butterflies, knocking all the splinters of wood flying towards her to the ground.

The leading man did not turn to look at Lin Xueyi, but instead focused his attention on the black figure that rushed out and the young man with a folding fan who had knocked the black figure out.

"Liu Ziming of the Jade Mountain Sect and Jia Yunchang of the Jade Immortal Pavilion, you had better give an explanation, otherwise I will personally seek an explanation from your master about this matter."

"Oh? So it's Senior Brother Yin Tianyu from the inner sect of the Holy Dragon Palace. This matter was my fault. It's just that Liu Ziming spoke ill of Senior Sister Lin Yu of my Jade Immortal Pavilion right away, and I was so enraged that I took action. It was my fault."

The Jade Mountain Sect is located on Jade Mountain, which is far from the Holy Dragon Palace, while the Jade Immortal Pavilion is located in Yixi City, below Jade Mountain. Although both sects are righteous forces, they have always been at odds with each other.

This was the conclusion Lin Xueyi reached after listening intently to the whispers of the onlookers. It seemed that this time would be the same. Sure enough, after Liu Ziming was rescued, he regained his senses and spoke up against Jia Yunchang of Yuxian Pavilion.

"Hmph, you despicable scoundrel who launched a sneak attack! My fellow disciples and I were inside buying jade ornaments and were just about to get our money when you came out and started saying that we had just spoken ill of your Lin Yu without even telling the truth. Before I could even speak, you attacked me. I'm just asking you, does your Jade Immortal Pavilion have any shame at all?"

"Heh, look at you, you've even started slandering our Jade Immortal Pavilion. It seems you think our Jade Immortal Pavilion is too easy to bully, so you want to have a fight with us?"

Lin Xueyi tilted her head, completely bewildered as to what was going on. Was the Jade Immortal Pavilion trying to challenge the Holy Dragon Palace's bottom line? Or were they simply fearless from the start?

Liu Ziming frowned deeply. He also saw the people from the Holy Dragon Palace beside him. He was worried that if he were to act rashly again, he might put his sect in danger. At the same time, he was very puzzled by Jia Yunchang's behavior. It was something that a person with a mental problem would do.

Did he not know that if the Holy Dragon Palace got angry about this, it would ultimately implicate his own sect? Or was this matter the intention of the Jade Immortal Pavilion, a challenge to the Holy Dragon Palace's bottom line?

Thinking of this, Liu Ziming subconsciously shook his head. This was not normal at all. The other party's thoughts had completely exceeded other people's imagination and could not be deduced by common sense.

"Haha, what's wrong? Scared? If you're scared, then get lost. What Jade Mountain Sect? They're nothing but a bunch of cowardly cowards."

Squinting, Liu Ziming didn't dare to speak again. He could tell that this man was clearly trying to drag the Jade Mountain Sect behind him down with him. You're crazy, but I can't be crazy with you.

Lin Xueyi, standing to the side, also realized that the other party was deliberately trying to escalate the situation. The result of this escalation was likely to force the Holy Dragon Palace to intervene. No matter what they did, the Holy Dragon Palace would ultimately suffer the consequences.

If they take action, other forces will think that the Holy Dragon Palace is too domineering; if they don't take action, the Holy Dragon Palace will appear too weak. Ha, the Jade Immortal Pavilion has a good plan, but is this really what the Jade Immortal Pavilion should do?

With a dragon's roar, Jia Yun felt his body fly forward uncontrollably. A small, white hand, which should have been powerless, unexpectedly grabbed his collar. He could only kneel on the ground, unable to muster any strength.

"Jade Fairy Pavilion? Jia Yunchang? I don't care who you are, but you almost got involved, so I can't just stand here and watch. However, I'm very curious to know who you really are."

These words left the crowd bewildered, but Lin Xueyi's next move caused an uproar. In her hand lay an exquisitely crafted human skin; the man she had just captured now possessed an unfamiliar face.

"It really is a mouse."

Chapter 218 Jade Bracelet

"Xiaoxue, are you still thinking about what just happened? That was just something that man said offhand. With the experts from the Holy Dragon Palace here, nothing will happen."

Ge Xinyao, who was walking down the street with Lin Xueyi, looked at him with some concern. From the beginning, he had been very worried, as if he cared a lot about what that person shouted before he died.

"The Dragon Slayer has withdrawn his hand, and demons are sweeping across the Central Plains? Are those people already preparing to fight the Holy Dragon Palace to the death?"

Lin Xueyi saw fanaticism in the eyes of the man who had bitten his tongue and committed suicide at her hands, and such fanaticism rarely led to anything good. She knew this all too well. Because in her world, history had witnessed far too many similar events.

Should she go to the Holy Dragon Palace and talk to the Palace Master about this? After thinking it over carefully, she decided against it. Putting aside the fact that she wasn't very familiar with the other party, she also didn't have any evidence to prove her suspicions. Going there directly would only cause unnecessary trouble. Well, she'd better keep a closer eye on things later.

Sure enough, if someone has the ability, you have to put in a lot of effort. Hmm, when I see Ruoxue again, I'll make her compensate me, preferably with her body. Anyway, this whole thing was caused by that Ghost Valley thing, so asking her for compensation is definitely the right thing to do.

"Sister Xinyao, let's go back first. So much trouble has just happened here, it might be quite complicated. Let's go back first."

Because Lin Xueyi had caught the troublemaker and even recognized that he was in disguise, many people knew that the little boy was a master.

There are actually quite a few experts, especially in Yun Sheng City where the Holy Dragon Palace is located. However, it is extremely rare to see an expert with such cultivation at such a young age. Therefore, everyone cast their burning gazes at Lin Xueyi.

Some female warriors, in particular, were very fond of such young masters, especially since they were so cute. This made their gazes even more intense, which reminded Lin Xueyi of the facial cleanser attacks from the Jade Spirit Sword Sect before.

Walking down this bustling street, her heart grew increasingly uneasy. She wasn't afraid of enemies, but when it came to that kind of passionate friction, emmmm, she was a little apprehensive.

As if sensing Lin Xueyi's unease, Ge Xinyao glanced at the people around her with amusement, nodded slightly, and expressed her understanding towards Lin Xueyi.

The two quickly headed towards the mansion. Just as they reached the door, Lin Xueyi grabbed Ge Xinyao's hand. "Sister Xinyao, I have a gift I've been wanting to give you, but I always forget. I just remembered this time, so I'll give it to you here."

She looked at Lin Xueyi with some surprise. She had no idea that he had prepared a gift for her. When she saw the jade bracelet that Lin Xueyi took out, she couldn't help but exclaim.

It's no wonder she was surprised; this jade bracelet was the deposit she paid to the car rental company when she rented the car. At the time, she was prepared that she would never get the jade bracelet back, but here she was, seeing it quietly placed in Lin Xueyi's hand.

"This is...."

“Sister Xinyao, I know this jade bracelet is very important to you, so please take it back.”

Instead of taking the jade bracelet from Lin Xueyi's hand, he took the outstretched hand in his own, a gentle smile on his face.

"Xiaoxue, thank you. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Since you bought it, please accept it as a gift from me."

Looking at Ge Xinyao, who had a smile on her face and a faint blush, Lin Xueyi was a little confused, but since the other party had said so, after insisting for a while, she still put the jade bracelet into her bosom.

"Then I'll keep it for now. If you want it back anytime, just come and ask me for it."

However, Lin Xueyi was unaware that what happened between her and Ge Xinyao in front of the mansion was quickly reported to the Holy Dragon Palace. Under Zhong Yuxiu's expectant gaze, the exquisite cup was reduced to powder in a delicate hand.

"Another woman. How come this little girl is so likable? It's infuriating! We're already at her doorstep, but she still won't go home quietly. She's still causing trouble outside. What is she trying to do?"

Lin Xuerong, trembling with anger, said that her younger sister has grown up and become completely disobedient, and is still causing trouble and attracting unwanted attention outside, which makes her, as the older sister, very tired and emotionally exhausted.

Lin Xuerong was disgusted by the shady women outside who were trying to seduce her younger sister. One woman named Ruoxue had already annoyed her, and now one woman after another had come along. When would her younger sister come back to care about her, her lonely older sister?

"Palace Master, there's no use in getting angry here. The young lady still has no intention of coming back. Why don't you hurry up and go pick her up, lest she spend too much time playing outside and forget about home?"

"Hmph, she dares. That little girl is getting more and more unruly. She doesn't even know to come back when she's at her doorstep. I think she's so happy she doesn't want to leave. She should be taught a lesson so she'll stay home obediently."

She had previously run away from home, scaring her so much that she searched the whole world for her. When she finally found her, she discovered that he was having an affair with a group of other women.

The mysterious Ruoxue was one thing, but she also provoked the Netherworld Ghost Valley. Why do you think she was so eager to take action against the Netherworld Ghost Valley? It's because their people had been monitoring Xueyi. Although she didn't know who had taken a liking to her, in a sense, she couldn't allow Xueyi to have any contact with the people of the Netherworld Ghost Valley.

Seeing her master's expression, Zhong Yuxiu knew that she probably wouldn't be able to pick up the young lady again this time. But that was fine too, she could just keep watching the show.

"Aunt Zhong, what do you think we can do to get Xueyi to go home by herself?"

This is a tough question. It was because you were too strict with her, not letting her go out freely, that she secretly slipped out and ran away from home. Now that she's back, won't you just be even more demanding? But thinking about it, it's true, her life was tough back then. She had so many things to do every day—music, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, things she didn't like, but she had to do them all.

Even worse are the various school assignments. Even after finishing their studies, they still have to do homework, and there are exams every now and then. All of this makes the young lady's life at home very difficult. Although everyone has offered their opinions, the Palace Master disagrees, believing that this is for the young lady's own good.

The final result is what it is now. However, the young lady is quite capable; she's only been away for a short time, yet she's already become a Grandmaster. After hearing this news, she even had someone investigate its source. They discovered the news was true.

As for now, she's just watching the show. She's watching the palace master's furious yet helpless state, and that's good, very good.

Main Text: Chapter 219 The Conspiracy is Underway

In the end, Lin Xuerong still didn't go to find Lin Xueyi and bring her sister back. However, there was a shard of a teacup on the ground. Zhong Yuxiu didn't try to persuade her mistress for the time being. She simply watched the show from the sidelines.

As for Lin Xuerong, she was filled with regret. Why couldn't she have been more thoughtful? Wouldn't it have been better to bring her back first? Wouldn't it have been better to sleep in the same bed with her sister? Why couldn't she let go of her pride? She couldn't bring herself to do it.

No matter how much she regretted it, the end result was that she continued to watch her younger sister play with other women outside, especially since she was now dressed as a boy, pretending to be a cute little boy.

Wouldn't that make her even more attractive to women? It has to be said, this girl really is appealing to both men and women, young and old, and she doesn't have any dietary restrictions. She has a good appetite and can eat anything.

He was so annoyed that he almost hired someone to bury that woman named Ge Xinyao, but considering Lin Xueyi's cultivation level, he figured she would be buried before she even arrived.

However, Lin Xuerong was also a little happy about what Lin Xueyi had done at Langhuan Pavilion. No matter what, she was still her younger sister and knew to help her older sister. She had resolved the matter there and even made everyone feel united against the enemy.

“Aunt Zhong, have someone investigate that person in Langhuan Pavilion as well, and see who dares to cause us trouble at this time.”

Actually, even without Lin Xuerong saying it, Zhong Yuxiu had already sent people to investigate. Moreover, the original Jia Yunchang had been found in a small grove five miles outside the city. When they found him, he had already been killed and buried under a large tree in the center.

"It seems the other side came prepared. Is it the Dragon Slayer Gang or the Netherworld Ghost Valley this time?"

"No, we still haven't been able to find out where this person comes from. He has never appeared in the martial arts world."

At this point, Zhong Yuxiu still found it unbelievable. She had tried every possible method and gathered all the information, but still couldn't find out the origin of this person. It was as if this person had suddenly appeared.

"Never appeared before? Did you inquire at Guanhailou? They didn't have any leads there either?"

To everyone's surprise, no clues were found. Not only Zhong Yuxiu was astonished, but even Lin Xuerong was very surprised. Although the Holy Dragon Palace could not be said to have information on all the people and things in the martial arts world, it could still have a general understanding of them. It was unexpected that there was no information on this person.

“Indeed, there is no such person. Not only Guanhailou, but I also inquired with the forces that are on good terms with us, and none of them had any recollection of this person.”

This answer surprised Lin Xuerong, but upon closer examination, it was also within reason. Since the other party dared to do this, they must have made thorough preparations.

Meanwhile, in the Dragon Slayer Gang, leader Meng Chuanying had already received news of the plan's failure. Sure enough, it was still quite difficult to make a fuss in Yunsheng City.

"Your Excellency in Purple Robes, it seems your previous plan has not yet succeeded."

The woman in purple and a bamboo hat, who had also received the news, could not see the other person's expression, but from her somewhat disordered breathing, it was clear that she was also extremely unhappy.

"Hmph, that idiot actually came up with such an idea, he's utterly stupid. But we have other people inside, don't worry, once the Holy Dragon Palace sets off, our people will naturally give them a good beating."

The woman in purple spoke with absolute certainty, giving the impression that they were fully prepared and only needed the other side to make a move.

"Oh? You mean?"

The Palace Master of the Holy Dragon Palace will definitely lead the team personally this time, and some of our people are already hiding in the East Sea. As soon as she goes there, as soon as the two sides start fighting, our people will take action. At that time, she will be seriously injured even if she doesn't die.

Upon hearing the news that the woman who had been suppressing him was seriously injured, Meng Chuanying's eyes narrowed slightly. This news was very important to him.

"What, dealing with a seriously injured grandmaster, I think you and that guy from the East Sea should have no problem, right?"

"Envoy, if we only seriously injure Lin Xuerong, what about the people of the Netherworld Ghost Valley in the East Sea? Our target this time is not just the Holy Dragon Palace, but also the Netherworld Ghost Valley."

That's right. Their goal this time couldn't possibly be just the Holy Dragon Palace. The Netherworld Ghost Valley itself was also one of their targets. Only by taking down both the righteous and evil factions could their Dragon Slaying Gang become the strongest force in the martial arts world.

Of course, apart from this mysterious organization, despite having been in contact with them for so long, Meng Chuanying had never been able to uncover their true strength. Every time he thought he had learned enough, they would reveal more, making him realize that they were not as simple as they seemed.

For example, this time, the other party actually wanted to take down two grandmasters at once, which is beyond the reach of ordinary forces. However, he was still somewhat uneasy about the situation. After all, those two were not very old, but they had already become some of the top figures in the martial arts world. How could they do it without some kind of trickery?

But the purple-clad envoy scoffed at them. What kind of confidence allowed her to act this way?

"Chief Meng, you can rest assured this time. We have made arrangements not only in the East Sea, but also in the Central Plains. You don't need to know about these arrangements. Just know that following us and His Majesty will always bring you benefits."

When the woman spoke of His Majesty, Meng Chuanying could clearly sense her fervor. Perhaps in her eyes, the His Majesty she spoke of was truly an omnipotent being.

As for Meng Chuanying, he was not so optimistic. This incident gave him a very uneasy feeling. Not only about the purple-robed envoy, but also about the Netherworld Ghost Valley and the Holy Dragon Palace. He felt very uneasy, as if something was going to happen beyond their imagination and take an unexpected turn.

Looking out at the seemingly calm sea, who could know what kind of turbulent waves lay beneath the tranquil surface?

He couldn't deny the optimism of the purple-robed envoy, but he still needed to make more preparations for this matter.

As for the woman in purple, she was extremely confident in the preparations her forces had made. It wasn't arrogance, but rather that they had indeed made extensive preparations, even going so far as to specifically seek out the Sea Emperor, one of the Four Emperors. He was a figure no less powerful than any grandmaster in the martial world. By launching a sneak attack, they could at least make the Palace Master of the Holy Dragon Palace understand what it meant to cough up blood.

After killing Lin Xuerong, only Mo Ningyan will remain, and surrender will be her only way out. Having combined the power of the Netherworld Ghost Valley and the Dragon Slayer Gang, and having wiped out most of the righteous forces in Zhongzhou, the entire Zhongzhou will become their domain.
