Chapter 384: Two Junior Sisters, Do You Hate That Lin Xun?

Tianji City, the number one city of the Qianye Continent, was built by the sea, bordering the Tianxuan Sea to the north and the Qianye Continent to the south.

It possessed countless subordinate ports and an excellent geographical location.

Although Tianji City was technically just a “city,”

in reality, its area was equivalent to the territory of an ordinary country in the Qianye Continent.

Due to its unique geographical location and its neutrality,

coupled with its extensive connections and the unique nature of its Heavenly Secret Divination,

Tianji City had become the largest intermediary trading city in the Qianye Continent.

Countless Cultivators came here to trade, and their transactions were even guaranteed by Tianji City itself.

The annual Tianxuan Auction held in Tianji City was an even greater event.

Ordinary Heaven And Earth Treasures were not even qualified to appear at the Tianxuan Auction.

Flying was prohibited within a two-mile radius of the outskirts of Tianji City.

If one needed to pass over Tianji City while traveling, they had to fly around it.

To enter the city, one had to land.

No one wanted to make an enemy of Tianji City, so every Cultivator tacitly followed this rule.

Upon approaching within two miles of Tianji City, Lin Xun’s group descended from the sky and switched to walking.

The other Cultivators did the same.

Consequently, the area within two miles of Tianji City appeared extremely bustling.

Seeing the business opportunity, merchants in Tianji City had set up various wine shops, inns, and even brothels within those two miles outside the city.

It had gradually formed the feeling of a city outside the city.

These brothels were the Huanxi Towers opened by the Huanxi Sect.

The Huanxi Sect had two brands under its name.

One was the Spring Breeze Tower, which catered to the mortal world.

The other was the primary one, the Huanxi Tower, which catered to Cultivators.

The Huanxi Tower was extremely famous throughout the entire Myriad Laws World.

Seeing this sign, simply put, meant “guaranteed service quality”!

Of course, the price was also extremely high.

Ordinary Cultivators truly could not afford it.

Inadvertently, Lin Xun thought of that silly Saintess of the Huanxi Sect.

She had already returned to the Huanxi Sect, and he didn’t know how she was doing.

However, he had already given her the Blood Banner and some other protective treasures.

Although Bai Luoxue was silly, she wasn’t stupid.

Lin Xun felt he didn’t need to worry too much about her safety.

But would the Huanxi Sect come to Tianji City to deliver gifts this time?

This made Lin Xun somewhat curious.

The Ten Thousand Demon Sect and Tianji City were actually on good terms.

Even if their relationship had been somewhat strained recently, they should still send someone to deliver gifts.

He needed to be careful.

If his Senior Sister came and he bumped into her, there was a chance he might be recognized.

That would be quite troublesome.

Lin Xun’s group ate some Barbarian Beef and drank some Blood Osmanthus Wine at a wine shop outside the city.

Tianji City mainly hosted Cultivators, with very few ordinary people.

Even if ordinary people came to Tianji City, they were usually the royalty and nobles of great Dynasties coming to broaden their horizons.

Therefore, the food and drinks in Tianji City were all spiritual food.

The common currency was also Spirit Stones.

After satisfying their appetites and replenishing their spiritual energy, Lin Xun entered the city.

There was a transportation network extending in all directions.

Various types of exotic beasts were responsible for travel.

The city was divided into pedestrian lanes and carriage lanes.

To avoid congestion, there were even things similar to traffic lights at the intersections.

These “traffic lights” were made of gemstones with Magic Formations carved into them, allowing them to function as traffic controllers.

To be honest, Lin Xun felt as if he had arrived in an alternative urban cultivation city.

Lin Xun found it all incredibly novel, let alone Yaya and the Dragon Cry Twin Girls.

It was the first time any of them had come to Tianji City.

Various facilities and even the basic urban planning of Tianji City were somewhat beyond their imagination.

They could never have imagined

that the layout of a town could be like this.

“Distinguished guests of the Zilin Holy Land, we have been waiting for a long time. Please board the carriage.”

Just as Lin Xun and the others entered the city,

Tianji City Disciples wearing uniforms and responsible for receiving guests arrived driving a carriage drawn by Sweat-Blood Hexagonal Horses.

“Thank you for your trouble,” Yun Yun said with a polite bow.

Lin Xun and the others naturally returned the gesture.

“You are too kind. It is an honor for Tianji City that you could attend the Young Miss’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony.”

The Disciple bowed, his behavior appearing somewhat humble.

But no one would look down on him, because the Disciples responsible for receiving guests could not be just anyone.

He was at least an inner Disciple and a standout among his peers.

And behind an inner Disciple stood Tianji City.

“Please wait a moment.”

Just as Lin Xun’s group was about to board the carriage, a voice came from behind them, stopping them.

The Dragon Cry Twin Girls turned to look, their pupils shrinking slightly.

The two sisters subconsciously clenched their small hands.

Yun Yun frowned and became alert, shielding the Dragon Cry Twin Girls behind her.

Lin Xun looked at the group of people gradually walking toward them.

Judging by the uniforms,

they were people from the Dragon Cry Holy Land.

“Long Han greets Elder Yun Yun.”

A man from the Dragon Cry Holy Land greeted Yun Yun, then looked at the Dragon Cry Twin Girls behind her.

“Long Han, the Peak Master of Xuelong Peak, along with the three Elders from the Ritual Hall, Jianlong Peak, and Huolong Peak, have been waiting for Your Highnesses for a long time.”

Led by Long Han, the four of them bowed to the Dragon Cry Twin Girls.

“Since Your Highnesses have arrived, please come with us to present the gifts as the Dragon Cry Saintesses.”

Yun Yun narrowed her eyes, looking at these four Elders from the Dragon Cry Holy Land:

“The two sisters came to my Zilin Holy Land to study, and during their studies, they are Disciples of my Zilin Holy Land.

As for the gifts, it is enough for you to represent the Dragon Cry Holy Land.

The two sisters will follow me.”

“Elder Yun Yun, those words are incorrect.”

Long Han shook his head.

“Although the two Highnesses are currently studying at the Zilin Holy Land, they are, after all, the Saintesses of our Dragon Cry Holy Land. It is only natural for them to represent the Dragon Cry Holy Land in presenting gifts at Tianji City.”

Saying that, Long Han bowed to the sisters again.

“Please, Your Highnesses, do not make things difficult for us.”

The Dragon Cry Twin Girls held their hands to their chests, their eyes timid.

Just as they were about to step forward, Lin Xun blocked their path.

Seeing Lin Xun, Long Han and the others frowned, hostility spreading. Their eyes seemed to say, “Who is this kid?”

“Greetings, Seniors. This Junior is named Lin Pei, a Disciple of the Saintess Peak of the Zilin Holy Land. I joined the peak a bit earlier than my two Junior Sisters, so I hold the title of Senior Brother.”

Lin Xun smiled elegantly.

“According to Senior Sister Jiang’s requirements, this Junior needs to supervise the schoolwork and cultivation of my two Junior Sisters. This is my duty, so please excuse me.

Furthermore, by traveling with us, the two Junior Sisters can also represent the Dragon Cry Holy Land in presenting gifts.

Moreover, having Elder Yun Yun, who is also a woman, to look after them is much better than being with you all.

Please trust us, Seniors, we will certainly take good care of our two Junior Sisters.”

“Yes, exactly as Disciple Lin Pei said.”

Yun Yun took the opportunity to step forward.

“How can you grown men take care of young girls? It’s inconvenient, and it would be so boring for them to be with you.

You all should go ahead; the two sisters will follow me.”

“Elder Yun Yun…”

“Enough, there’s no need to say more.”

Yun Yun turned around directly, took the sisters’ small hands, and boarded the carriage.

“Let’s go,” Yun Yun called out to Lin Xun, who was still standing outside.

“Seniors, I shall take my leave.”

Lin Xun still politely bowed and boarded the carriage while holding Yaya.

The Tianji City Disciple could tell that there was definitely a conflict between the Dragon Cry Holy Land and the Zilin Holy Land.

However, that was none of his business.

Tianji City had always been neutral.

Since the Dragon Cry Saintesses had boarded his carriage, he was responsible for driving them away.

“Hyah!”

After the Tianji City Disciple bowed to them, he drove the carriage away.

Looking in the direction the carriage was leaving, Long Han’s eyes narrowed.

“What should we do now?” an Elder stepped forward.

“No need to worry.”

Long Han shook his head.

“They will be in Tianji City for a long time; we will always have a chance to act.

Since the two Saintesses have come, how can we return empty-handed?”

Sitting in the carriage.

Long Leier and Long Yaner lowered their heads, their small hands tightly clutching their skirts, their eyes filled with worry and timidity.

But no matter how scared the two girls were, Lin Xun saw a glimmer of determination in their eyes.

“Junior Sister Sisters, are you okay?”

Yaya jumped down from Lin Xun’s arms, walked to the two of them, and gently placed her small hands on their knees.

“I-it’s nothing.” The two girls shook their heads with a smile and gently held Yaya’s small hands. “Sorry for making Yaya worry.”

Yaya pouted her small mouth and said very seriously, “Yaya will protect the two Junior Sister Sisters!”

The two girls were first stunned, then their eyes curved as they nodded gently: “Mm.”

Long Leier held Yaya in her lap and, along with her sister, thanked Lin Xun and Yun Yun who were sitting on the other side:

“Thank you, Elder Yun Yun and Senior Brother Lin, for helping us out. We will keep this in our hearts and will surely repay you if we have the chance in the future.”

Yun Yun slowly opened her eyes and shook her head:

“There’s no need for thanks. Protecting your safety is my duty, but you shouldn’t have come…”

Long Leier lowered her eyes slightly: “Leier and my sister know that. But we had to come…”

“Sigh…”

Yun Yun said no more, only closing her eyes.

Yun Yun’s sigh was not because she found the sisters troublesome.

Rather, it was because she felt their future fate would be somewhat turbulent.

“Pei hasn’t been on the path of cultivation for long and doesn’t understand many things, but has something happened in the Dragon Cry Holy Land?”

Just as silence fell over the carriage again, Lin Xun asked.

Originally, Lin Xun didn’t intend to ask.

But it seemed that something significant had truly happened in the Dragon Cry Holy Land, to the point where it felt like they were willing to face a direct conflict with the Zilin Holy Land because of the Dragon Cry Twin Girls.

Moreover, Lin Xun felt that this matter wouldn’t end just like this.

Lin Xun felt he truly needed to understand the situation.

“If it’s inconvenient for you two Junior Sisters to say, don’t force yourselves.”

Seeing the two girls’ silence, Lin Xun didn’t push.

If they didn’t say anything, he would just have to collect information himself in the coming days.

“It’s not that…”

The older sister, Long Leier, shook her head.

“Actually, there’s nothing that can’t be said. So much time has passed that many people probably already know, so it’s not much of a secret anymore…”

Long Leier tightly gripped the skirt on her thighs, organized her words slightly, thinking about how to make it easier for Senior Brother Lin Pei to understand, and then slowly spoke:

“Actually, in our Dragon Cry Holy Land, we are divided into the ‘Soul Faction’ and the ‘Technique Faction.’

Simply put, the Soul Faction is similar to Spirit Masters; they use dragon souls to fight together, gaining the recognition of the dragon soul, becoming partners with it, and cultivating and fighting together.

The Technique Faction discards the dragon soul and only uses techniques.

The two factions have been in open and secret conflict for a long time.

After father became the Holy Lord, he used his martial power as a foundation and did his best to mediate between the two factions, advocating for the simultaneous cultivation of soul and technique.

Through father’s efforts, the Dragon Cry Holy Land has seen some results over the years.

But the conflict between the two factions was too deep and was not fully resolved.

And a few days ago, father went to the Fuchen Continent and participated in the siege of Lin Xun.

After father’s cultivation was crippled by Lin Xun, without the suppression of father’s Ascension Realm strength, the accumulated conflict between the two factions is about to explode again.

To ensure our safety, father had Sister Long Qin bring us to the Zilin Holy Land.

Using studying as an excuse, it was actually to seek the protection of the Zilin Holy Land.

Although father is still the Holy Lord,

Sister Long Qin said that the leader of the Soul Faction has already seized the power of the Dragon Cry Holy Land. The Technique Faction is not backing down and is fighting with the Soul Faction…

And as for me and my sister…”

At this point, the girl gently pursed her lips.

Long Leier didn’t need to say anything more; Lin Xun already understood.

“Although the Holy Lord of Dragon Cry has lost his actual power, he is still the Holy Lord in name.

No matter which faction, Soul or Technique, wants to become the Holy Lord, the other faction will stop them.

Furthermore, both the Soul Faction and the Technique Faction need a successor recognized by the world to ensure legitimacy.

You two were the Saintesses chosen by both factions together. Whether in talent or Realm, you are both unsurpassed among your peers, making you the legitimate successors.

So both the Soul Faction and the Technique Faction want to get hold of you two, then support you to the position of Holy Lord to exercise control.”

Listening to Lin Xun’s words, both Long Leier and Long Yaner nodded.

At this moment, Lin Xun also understood why the Dragon Cry Holy Land would still let the Dragon Cry Twin Girls represent them at Sikong Wangxing’s Coming-of-Age Ceremony.

If the sisters came, they would fight over them in Tianji City and take them back to the Dragon Cry Holy Land.

After all, if they stayed in the Zilin Holy Land forever, the Dragon Cry Holy Land would have no way to reach them.

But if the sisters didn’t come, both the Soul Faction and the Technique Faction of the Dragon Cry Holy Land would represent the “Dragon Cry Holy Land” to offer congratulations.

In that case, it would be announcing to the world that the Dragon Cry Holy Land has already split into two factions.

This would mean the two factions were prepared to risk everything, disregarding the “integrity of the Dragon Cry Holy Land.”

The Dragon Cry Holy Land would very likely split into two from then on!

To prevent the Dragon Cry Holy Land from splitting and to ensure their father’s hard work wasn’t wasted, the sisters decided to come!

No matter what problems occurred in the Dragon Cry Holy Land, as long as it hadn’t split in two on the surface, there was still a chance for everything.

But if the separation was made public, then everything would truly be over…

After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Lin Xun slowly spoke:

“Two Junior Sisters, do you hate that Lin Xun?”
