"Is Second Master also at the Nascent Soul Stage?" Yun Qingwan stared with her beautiful eyes, gazing at the erect figure of Lin Tian like a sword, and spoke softly, "Second Master is so powerful! How much older is he than me? Master, can I really cultivate with Second Master? I’m afraid he’ll think I’m too stupid!" Standing aside, Ye Lan took a deep breath and then sighed heavily. "Girl, this time you’ve struck it lucky!" Ye Lan gently rubbed Yun Qingwan’s head, sighed, and laughed, "Moreover, it’s also the fortune and luck of our Tianlan Sect! With your connection to Fellow Daoist Lin...no, Senior Lin, who would dare to touch our Tianlan Sect? As for Senior Lin disliking you, you needn’t worry! Since your Second Master accepted you as a disciple of his own accord, it’s evident that he discovered an extraordinary talent in you!" "What you need to do most is to cultivate diligently as your Second Master told you to! In the future, your master and the sect will all rely on your protection!" Upon hearing this, Yun Qinghe and the others were all excited and thrilled. With such a strong person backing them, their Tianlan Sect’s day of rise wasn’t far away! In contrast to Ye Lan and others, Ye Qinghou and his group were terrified, paralyzed on the ground. Sect Master Yan Xingping of Dark Ocean Peak knelt on the ground trembling, his face full of fear. If you refuse to submit, you may continue to strike! Lin Tian’s words, icy and indifferent, still lingered in the air like a sharp sword hanging over Yan Xingping’s head. Even if Yan Xingping were given a hundred lives, he wouldn’t dare to have such a thought now. At this moment, his mind was a mess, at a loss of what to do. Lin Tian and Ren Woxiao shared a light-hearted chat, then turned back, looking at Yan Xingping, "About what I just said, what’s your current thought?" "Ah... Senior... Senior... spare my life..." Yan Xingping screamed in fear, then knelt and crawled toward Lin Tian, frantically begging for mercy. The other high-level members of Sword Saint Mountain, along with the many geniuses, all knelt down, paying respects to Lin Tian. "Senior... it’s because of our lack of insight, and it was not intentional to oppose you. Please forgive us once!" Ye Qinghou was genuinely scared this time, opened his mouth first, and loudly pleaded guilty to Lin Tian: "If the senior’s anger is hard to quell, we are willing to be punished, just don’t involve other people from our Sword Saint Mountain!" Although Sword Saint Mountain is very strong, Ye Qinghou knows, his Sword Saint Mountain is not strong enough to stand against a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator! If thoroughly offended, Lin Tian might come out unscathed, but their Sword Saint Mountain could be significantly weakened, losing more than it’s worth! Lin Tian squinted his eyes slightly, his expression still cold. Ren Woxiao, seeing this, hesitated slightly before speaking again, "Fellow Daoist Lin... with Ye Family Master and others expressing as they have, why not let this matter pass? I know Fellow Daoist Lin fears not Sword Saint Mountain, but if opposition reaches its extreme, ultimately you, fellow Daoist, may also fall into trouble, right? You killed three Golden Core cultivators; this matter is bound to cause a stir and intimidate many small-minded ones. How about we let this matter go now?" Hearing this, Lin Tian frowned. Originally, he intended to kill Yan Xingping with another sword. But seeing that Ren Woxiao interjected, he didn’t strike again. After a pause, Lin Tian flicked his hand, and with a puff, the flying sword pierced through Yan Xingping’s abdomen. This strike was so fast that even Ren Woxiao beside him was startled and apprehensive. Others couldn’t even see it clearly. As the sharp screech of the sword sounded in his ear, Yan Xingping was so scared that a warm yellow liquid spurted out from below. But, in the next moment, he realized the pain only came from his abdomen, and his cultivation was slowly disappearing. Then he understood! "Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life!" Yan Xingping was grateful beyond words, kowtowing repeatedly. Lin Tian crippling his cultivation was equivalent to sparing him, not implicating others. Ye Qinghou and others beside him finally let out a long breath of relief. Lin Tian nodded slightly, not bothering to care anymore. However, Ye Qinghou gritted his teeth at this time and suddenly asked, "Senior, that... does Qingwan still need to enter Sword Saint Mountain to cultivate?" Lin Tian frowned and replied coldly, "What do you think?" Hearing this, Ye Qinghou shivered, quickly closed his mouth, and dared not say another word. Awak! A disciple at the Nascent Soul Stage entering their Sword Saint Mountain? Only if one’s brain was waterlogged! "Se... Second Master..." At this moment, a timid voice came from the side, it was Yun Qingwan who trotted over. Just she viewed Lin Tian with an inexplicable reverence. Lin Tian nodded with a smile, then pondered slightly before looking at Ye Lan, who was walking over, and said, "I can’t take Qingwan with me now. After you return, arrange for her to be sent to Yanjing in a few days. Given your strength, arranging for her to enter a university in Yanjing shouldn’t be a problem! Oh, and this is my phone number..." Saying that, Lin Tian pointed a finger, touching Yun Qingwan’s forehead, continuing, "When you get to Yanjing and are settled in at school, you can call me! I still have some matters to deal with, so I cannot accompany you!" "Second Master, I understand!" Yun Qingwan replied joyfully, excitement on her face. Lin Tian nodded gently, then raised his head, his face turning cold, scanning the surroundings and said indifferently, "My disciple Yun Qingwan hails from the Tianlan Sect, and I will need everyone to look after and assist her in the future!" "Senior Lin, we will abide by your command!" The many sect powers from East Continent present all turned pale with fear, quickly bowed, and respectfully responded. Standing aside, Ye Lan and other Tianlan Sect members trembled with excitement. Who among those present didn’t catch Lin Tian’s implication in his words? Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs N0veI.Fiɾe.net Saying to look after and assist is essentially a warning! The Tianlan Sect is connected to Lin Tian, and whoever opposes it would be opposing Lin Tian! "Alright! You may continue... Qingwan, contact me when you get to Yanjing... Daoist Ren, until we meet again!" Lin Tian nodded lightly, turned around, and stepped away, but paused briefly, his gaze swept over Muuu Xiaoxiao, Huangfu Cheng, Zhong Xinci, and other acquaintances, nodding before finally flying away, disappearing on Tianxiang Island in an instant. Everyone looked up, watching the figure in the sky disappear like a light crane, with various exclamations and wonderings, endless in their ears. Outside the Heavenly Fragrance Ruins’ ancient city, Lin Tian strolled along the mountain ridge. But suddenly a slicing wind came from ahead, and a figure landed not far ahead on the mountain ridge. It was a young man, tall and handsomely extraordinary. Lin Tian’s footsteps were immediately sensed by the young man, who quickly turned around, looking toward Lin Tian, frowning, "Who are you?" After asking, the young man inspected Lin Tian, his face full of doubt. Lin Tian did not answer, instead, he retorted. The young man stood with hands behind his back, his face full of pride, and his words resounding, "Are you here to participate in the East Continent Martial Arts Gathering? Seeing no cultivation in you, are you lost here, or are you here with family to broaden your horizons?" Upon hearing this familiar name, Lin Tian was taken aback, his expression becoming somewhat peculiar.
