On one side, close the city gates and search for Luan Xingjiâs whereabouts; on the other side, go straight to the Luan Family to ransack and exterminate, arresting all their family members!
This is the efficiency of the Immortal Cultivation Sects!
After handling the official business, Celestial Sword Master comforted Li Yunjing extensively.
The way the Sect Leader acted made Li Yunjing feel touched, repeatedly saying, "This matter has nothing to do with âMyriad Swords Sectâ, itâs all these petty people causing trouble, I didnât take it to heart."
Thus, Celestial Sword Master was very pleased. In his happiness, he took out a talisman from his storage ring and handed it to Li Yunjing.
Celestial Sword Master smiled and said, "This is a âCelestial Sword Talismanâ that I created. With one sword strike, even ghosts and gods retreat! Little friend Li, since you were shocked, I gift this talisman to you for self-defense!"
Seeing Celestial Sword Master take out such a Tier Two talisman, the disciples of both sects had their eyes brighten, looking at Li Yunjing with envy.
This kid has hit the jackpot!
This is an authentic medium-tier offensive talisman!
If itâs sold on the market, how many Spirit Stones would it fetch?
At this moment, the disciples of "Shenxiao Dao Sect" not only didnât sympathize with Li Yunjing for being attacked but rather lamented why they werenât the ones attacked!
Luckily, Li Yunjing didnât know his fellow disciplesâ thoughts, otherwise, heâd be infuriated!
Attacked and youâre jealous?
Really, no human warmth at all!
"Thank you for your generosity, senior! The junior is extremely grateful!"
At this moment, Li Yunjingâs eyes brightened as he hurriedly received the "Celestial Sword Talisman", repeatedly expressing his gratitude.
As for refusing it?
That is absolutely impossible!
Li Yunjing was afraid if he uttered a word of courtesy, Celestial Sword Master would take the talisman back.
That would be a severe loss!
"Alas! Fellow Celestial Sword Master, why do you bother?"
Steward Liang beside them shook his head slightly, then looked at Li Yunjing and said, "Li Yunjing, you must remember the kindness of fellow Celestial Sword Master! Remember the kindness of âMyriad Swords Sectâ! This is the most powerful Divine Technique of fellow Celestial Sword Master. Once activated, even Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators at the Third Heaven would be slain by the Celestial Sword!"
"This is top-notch stuff!"
Lastly, Steward Liang sighed; he didnât expect Celestial Sword Master would spend such a great cost for the sake of calming their "Shenxiao Dao Sect".
"Master Celestial Sword! This kindness is deeply remembered by the junior! Your Dao Practice is profound, and Mana is boundless; I, the junior, naturally canât repay it, but if any âMyriad Swords Sectâ friends need my help, as long as itâs within my capability, I, Li Yunjing, will definitely not refuse!"
Li Yunjing was very clever; upon hearing Steward Liangâs reminder, he made promises to Celestial Sword Master repeatedly.
His words were beautifully spoken, and not just Celestial Sword Master was pleased; even some "Myriad Swords Sect" disciples present revealed smiles, satisfied with Li Yunjingâs attitude.
The greatest crisis was resolved by Celestial Sword Master; after a bit more talking, Celestial Sword Master led the "Myriad Swords Sect" people away.
Only the disciples of "Shenxiao Dao Sect" were left in the room.
After everyone sat down, Steward Liang asked, "Li Yunjing, what did you do to attract othersâ assassination attempts?"
"Er..."
Seeing everyoneâs eyes upon him, Li Yunjing was helpless; he wanted to hide, but there was no way.
Once the investigation reaches "Treasure Pavilion", his extravagant spending will be exposed immediately.
Rather than being found out, itâs better to confess openly and leniently.
Thinking it over, Li Yunjing said, "I went to participate in âTreasure Pavilionâsâ trading event and spent a hefty sum to buy some things for Senior Sister Yu Yunyi of Rising Sun Peak. I guess that showcased my wealth and attracted the assassination attempts."
At this moment, Li Yunjing swiftly blamed Yu Yunyi.
After all, they wouldnât verify with Yu Yunyi.
His words were ambiguous; once he passed the gifts to Yu Yunyi, the details wouldnât match, making his lie flawless.
Unless Yu Yunyi or Steward Liang decided to investigate resolutely!
However, such matters wouldnât prompt these two sides to waste effort for Li Yunjingâs sake.
"Heh..."
Hearing Li Yunjingâs words, before anyone else could react, Lv Ruoxi first gave a cold laugh, looking at Li Yunjing with a half-smile.
Her gaze contained a hint of lament, a bit of jealousy, and perhaps even a bit of amusement?
All these emotions were very complex, making Li Yunjing unable to understand what this woman was thinking.
"Hmm? Participation in trading event? Did you not keep a low profile?"
Steward Liu seemed a bit displeased, furrowing his brows and asking.
"Er! Reporting to Steward Liu, I am a âShenxiao Dao Sectâ disciple, coming to a place like âMyriad Swords Cityâ, naturally I didnât want to hide, as it would diminish our âShenxiao Dao Sectâsâ prestige."
Li Yunjing touched his nose, speaking somewhat guiltily.
"Hmm! Thereâs nothing wrong with that statement!"
Steward Liang seemed quite satisfied with Li Yunjingâs explanation, unexpectedly speaking up to clear his name.
As for how many Spirit Stones Li Yunjing spent and what good stuff he bought, the three Stewards didnât ask further.
An Outer Disciple can have how much wealth...
These small amounts of money, only the bumpkins from âMyriad Swords Cityâ would covet and do something as shameless as intercepting Li Yunjing. If it were them, they wouldnât even glance...
At this moment, the three Stewards were unaware of Li Yunjingâs immense wealth!
In the future, when the three found out Li Yunjing spent nearly 50,000 Spirit Stones that day, it almost slapped their faces swollen.
Li Yunjing being attacked was just a minor episode.
By the next day, everything returned to normal.
