Chapter 285: Since You’re Here, Don’t Even Think About Leaving

“In the Huanxi Sect, are there quite a few people who want to harm this silly girl?”

Lin Xun looked Lan Shanshan straight in the eye.

Even though Lin Xun was smiling, Lan Shanshan felt that behind that smiling mask was a monster-like existence.

“Why… why would you say that?”

Lan Shanshan clutched the hem of her skirt, trying her best to calm her fear.

“It’s true that Bai Luoxue is the Saintess of the Huanxi Sect, and it’s also true that this silly girl is the future Sect Master.”

Lin Xun put down his teacup.

“However, I learned from that silly girl that when she was besieged by the Cultivators of the Zilin Holy Land, she only had three Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators by her side.”

Even if your Huanxi Sect is impoverished, suffering from a lack of successors after the Sect Master’s death, and doesn’t even have an Immortal Realm expert, don’t you still have three in the Yupu Realm?

With such Naturally Alluring Bones and being such a fine talent for cultivation, even if she doesn’t engage in Dual Cultivation, she would likely enter the Immortal Realm in the future.

And yet you couldn’t even bear to send a single Yupu Realm expert to protect her?”

Seeing Lan Shanshan lower her head, Lin Xun continued,

“Furthermore, when Bai Luoxue was injured, any ordinary Sect would have been frantic, yet your Huanxi Sect seems quite calm.”

“To put it another way, if Su Ying, the Saintess of my Ten Thousand Demon Sect, were to disappear, I would definitely have the entire Sect turn the Nine Continents upside down to find her.”

But at that time, there was no search by the Huanxi Sect in Luo City; instead, they were unhurriedly gathering information.

And after realizing something was wrong with Bai Luoxue, their first reaction was actually to send you to investigate, even using you to lower Bai Luoxue’s guard while others investigated in secret.

Do you distrust your own Saintess that much?

Is there really no problem with your group?”

“Actually…”

Lan Shanshan bit her thin lip, looking at Lin Xun with difficulty.

Lan Shanshan really wanted to speak out, but in the end, she shook her head heavily.

“Ever since Master died, internal problems have indeed arisen within the Huanxi Sect! But I can’t tell you, even though I hate the Huanxi Sect! I just can’t!”

“It’s not that you can’t say it, but rather that you’ve been placed under some kind of Restriction, right?” Lin Xun saw through it at a glance.

“…” Lan Shanshan said nothing, which was a tacit admission.

“What about Bai Luoxue? Was she also placed under a Restriction?” Lin Xun asked.

“No, no one dares to place a Restriction on the Saintess, and those vile women have no need to do so to Senior Sister.”

After all, before Master passed away, Senior Sister only focused on her cultivation and was ignorant of the world outside. After Master passed, she was even more unaware of what has happened in the Huanxi Sect over the past few months. However!”

Lan Shanshan looked up and stared at Lin Xun seriously.

“No matter what, I will protect Senior Sister!”

“With your puny little Dragon Gate Realm?” Lin Xun sneered without hesitation.

Lan Shanshan’s chest heaved with anger, but regarding Lin Xun’s disdain, she found she truly couldn’t refute it.

The Dragon Gate Realm isn’t exactly low; countless Cultivators never reach it.

But in front of an entire Sect, the Dragon Gate Realm is simply too insignificant.

“I don’t know what happened after your Master died, nor do I know what changes occurred in your Huanxi Sect.”

But I said I would teach Bai Luoxue a few things. Before my promise is fulfilled, that little idiot cannot come to harm.”

Lin Xun tossed five banners in front of her.

“These five banners are called the Five Soul Banners. They have the effect of protecting formations and soul-bewildering. Use them to protect your Senior Sister well. If there’s a problem, sacrifice these Five Soul Banners.”

They have my Divine Soul mark on them. As soon as you sacrifice them, I’ll be able to sense your location.”

“Five Soul Banners? Isn’t this a treasure of the Great Joy Temple? How could you… could it be you…”

Suddenly, Lan Shanshan thought of the news that had spread across the Nine Continents from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Continent not long ago.

That was the news that the Great Joy Temple had been wiped out in one fell swoop within half a day!

At that time, the Zilin Sacred Lord, Jiang Yuerou, rushed to the scene immediately. The Zilin Sacred Lord said that the person had already left and she didn’t know what had happened, let alone who the other party was.

One had to ask the remaining Disciples of the Great Joy Temple.

As it turned out, after the Disciples of the Great Joy Temple had their cultivation completely stripped, they were all hacked to death by the female Cultivators and mortal women who had been abducted to the mountain and had their purity defiled!

The screams lasted for a very long time.

It was said that at the time, Jiang Yuerou and the Elders of the Medicine King Valley and Tianji City who arrived later did nothing to stop the women’s revenge. In the end, not a single Disciple of the Great Joy Temple was left alive.

After all, those Great Joy Temple Disciples had lost their cultivation, and even if those female Cultivators’ Foundations had been ruined by plucking and supplementing, they were still Cultivators.

It wasn’t hard to kill off those Great Joy Temple Disciples.

Of course, many felt that Jiang Yuerou must have asked who the man who destroyed the Great Joy Temple was.

It was just that Jiang Yuerou and the Medicine King Valley Elders remained silent, seemingly covering for that Cultivator.

Later, various Sects went to the Great Joy Temple to loot it, and no one cared who that powerhouse was or how he had destroyed the Great Joy Temple.

But rumor had it that when those Sects entered the Great Joy Temple’s treasury, the Immortal weapons, half-immortal weapons, and countless Immortal medicines and Immortal Plants had all been cleared out.

Now, seeing the Five Soul Banners of the Great Joy Temple, Lan Shanshan could guess who had conquered the Great Joy Temple!

In front of him, she was as weak as a small beast, not just because her Realm was too low, but because his Realm was terrifyingly high!

Who the hell said Lin Xun suffered a great dao injury and that less than a tenth of his strength remains? I’ll twist off both his heads!

“That’s right, I was the one who destroyed the Great Joy Temple. Actually, I’m also quite surprised. I thought that Old Auntie Jiang Yuerou would expose my identity, but I didn’t expect her to help me hide it.”

Lin Xun also had some doubts.

“But forget it, take them. Although the Five Soul Banners can only be activated by someone in the Yupu Realm, I’ve injected spiritual power into them. You only need to inject a little bit of your own to trigger them once. But remember, only once, so use them in a real crisis!”

Lan Shanshan glanced at the Five Soul Banners, then at Lin Xun, and finally accepted them without being pretentious.

“No matter what! I, Lan Shanshan, owe you a favor,” Lan Shanshan said seriously.

“Sorry, you don’t hit my ‘XP’.”

“???”

Just as Lan Shanshan was wondering what “X-what-P” meant, the door opened, and Bai Luoxue walked out carrying the Little Calico Cat.

It looked like she was ready.

Lin Xun stood up, intending to see them out of the city, but at that moment, his expression froze slightly.

“Wait for me at the city gate.”

Lin Xun reached out and placed his hand on Bai Luoxue’s shoulder. In the next instant, Bai Luoxue disappeared from the spot.

Using the same method, Lin Xun transferred Lan Shanshan out of the city.

The moment the two were teleported away, a Magic Formation rose again in the courtyard.

The small courtyard became a world of its own.

Lin Xun poured himself a cup of tea.

“Since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving.”
