The stolen magic is a bit magical

Lin Xiaosu stood on the balcony, his long sword nowhere to be seen. He still held a teacup in his hand, and his expression remained unchanged as he faced the renowned Lord of Chaos Clouds.

Beside him, Feng Ji's expression had changed.

Her fingers rested on her waist.

At her waist was her sword.

"Lin Xiaosu, you've gone too far by trespassing into my Chaotic Cloud Heaven and injuring my beloved son-in-law," Chi Lian said in a deep voice.

Lin Xiaosu said calmly, "Sect Master Chi is very peaceful right now, so I might as well have a peaceful conversation with you. You should understand that it was not that I deliberately crippled your beloved son-in-law, but that your beloved son-in-law tried to kill me first. In the martial world, it is a timeless principle to fight back when attacked. I did not cut off his head with a sword, but only crippled his cultivation, and that was only because of your sake."

His words were absolutely neither humble nor arrogant.

This is his consistent attitude towards enlightenment.

Chi Lian's pupils contracted: "I really want to know, what kind of reliance do you have to be so presumptuous in front of me?"

Lin Xiaosu smiled...

He actually laughed!
Chi Lian's pupils contracted, locking onto him firmly. Everyone in the restaurant, even the fearless Feng Ji, felt as if a giant poisonous dragon was locking onto them, making it difficult for them to breathe.

However, Lin Xiaosu's smile was surprisingly relaxed and peaceful: "Sect Master Chi, I think Palace Master Zheng Tianyan and Yin Jiuyou are also wondering what I, Lin Xiaosu, have to rely on to be so presumptuous in front of the Enlightenment Realm giants."

In the northwest of the city, a man's face changed color; he was none other than Yin Jiuyou.

In the southeast of the city, another person's face changed color; it was none other than Zheng Tianyan.

Yes, both of the two Enlightenment Realm experts have entered the Chaotic Cloud Heaven.

Although Lin Xiaosu didn't notice them, weren't these words a sarcastic remark to them?

Under normal circumstances, a master of the Enlightenment Realm would take immediate action and kill him upon hearing such sarcasm.

But the current situation is anything but ordinary.

He said just that, and the giants of the Enlightenment Realm dared not show themselves. At least, in Zheng Tianyan and Yin Jiuyou's view, it was far better to let Chi Lian face his ultimate trump card than for them to show themselves.

Chi Lian said coldly, "I don't need to guess! I'll just shatter all your bones and give my beloved son-in-law a good mood to heal his wounds!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he struck out with his palm.

This palm strike was so powerful it blotted out the sky!

With a whoosh, Feng Ji drew her longsword...

On the longsword, a blue flower swayed violently, for she had panicked!

The so-called "ultimate trump card" was what she pondered the most along the way. An ultimate trump card would indeed have a great deterrent effect on the scheming and scheming giants of the Enlightenment Realm in Kuncang. He had calculated that all the Enlightenment Realm experts hoped that other Enlightenment Realm experts would step forward to be tested, rather than being willing to be tested themselves.

However, Chi Lian is different from others.

He has a madman's personality.

The murder of his in-laws and the reduction of his top-level power in Luan Yun Tian were already enough to infuriate him. Today, Lin Xiaosu came to Luan Yun Tian and crippled his son-in-law. His stubborn temper flared up, and he wanted to kill Lin Xiaosu on the spot.

This reckless personality is truly the enemy of the Empty City Stratagem.

Junior brother, do you...do you have any trump cards up your sleeve?
If not, we'd both probably be ruined by your ridiculous empty city strategy.

Even if they did, they might not be able to kill Chi Lian.

Even if we could actually kill him, we'd have used up our trump card. What would we do next?
No matter how optimistic she was, she knew that the situation before her was a dead end.

Suddenly, a wisp of smoke swept across the sky.

Without anyone noticing, another person appeared beside Lin Xiaosu and Feng Ji.

A young woman!
She raised her hand, and a piece of ebony token met the huge palm of true energy falling from the sky.

A fierce wind howled, and her hair flew violently backward as if bearing a thousand pounds of pressure, but her voice rang out loudly: "Sect Master Chi, my master begs you to stop!"

call!
The enormous palm of true essence stopped in mid-air.

The raging winds made the restaurant sway precariously, like a small boat on a stormy sea.

Chi Lian's pupils contracted as she stared at the token in her hand.

A strange ripple spread through Lin Xiaosu's eyes as he stared at the woman's half-profile. His heart raced for a moment.

Daiwa!

She showed up!

Just as he was about to unleash his fatal blow, something happened...

"Celestial Master... what do you mean?" Chi Lian asked in a deep voice.

Heavenly Master!

Feng Ji's heart skipped a beat, and her gaze fell on the token. The token was made of ebony, with an antique feel, and on it was a coffin.

Is this the Celestial Master's Decree?

This is another powerful figure in the legend of Chaotic Cloud Heaven: the Celestial Master?

Dawa bowed deeply: "My master does not wish to be an enemy of the sect leader, but this young master has some unresolved issues with my master and needs to meet and talk!"

Chi Lian's face shifted dramatically: "I made a promise before, that with three Celestial Master Tokens, I would do three things for him. Today's matter is the second one!"

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Dawa raised his hand and threw the Celestial Master's Token in his hand toward Chi Lian.

With a flick of her wrist, Chi Lian shattered the Celestial Master's Decree into dust.

He took a step out and left the city.

The second step is to climb the mountain.

The third step involved a fleeting shadow, the true essence vanishing without a trace.

The people in the city looked at each other in bewilderment...

At the Southeast Restaurant, an old man let out a long sigh: "They actually used the Celestial Master's Token. Could this mysterious Celestial Master be his backer?"

"Uncle-Master, what is the Celestial Master's Decree?" a young man beside him asked.

The old man said, "It is said that this Celestial Master has helped Luan Yun Tian a lot. Therefore, the two sect leaders of Luan Yun Tian gave him three Celestial Master Tokens, which is equivalent to agreeing to three things for him. As long as the Celestial Master Tokens are presented, no matter how absurd the matter is, the two sect leaders must agree to it unconditionally."

"Then...wouldn't the Celestial Master's Decree be more effective than the Sect Master's Decree?"

"Of course. This kid actually made the Celestial Master willing to give up a Celestial Master's Token. What kind of connection does he have with the Celestial Master?"

In the restaurant, Dawa finally faced Lin Xiaosu: "Come with me!"

"Alright!" With a whoosh, Dawa jumped off the restaurant. The wind blew around him, and Lin Xiaosu and Feng Ji also jumped off at the same time. The three of them flashed and set off towards Liangjie Mountain.

Liangjie Mountain is actually the headquarters of Luanyuntian.

Feng Ji felt a deep unease, and a voice reached the deepest part of Lin Xiaosu's ear: "Do we really have to enter the Chaotic Cloud Mountain Gate? I think leaving now might be the best course of action..."

"Senior Sister, don't be too optimistic! Chi Lian is watching us, and there may be more than one Enlightenment Realm expert watching us. If we run away now, it will make us seem weak, and they might not dare to make a move." Lin Xiaosu replied telepathically, "Let's go into the Chaotic Cloud Mountain Gate and meet this mysterious Celestial Master."

Feng Ji's heart was pounding like a drum.

This journey would be like sending oneself directly into the palm of Chi Lian's hand.

However, she also had experience in the ways of the world, and she had to admit that Lin Xiaosu was right.

He's most likely just playing the empty city card.

The biggest fear with the Empty City Stratagem is that the person devising the stratagem will panic.

If he is terrified by Chi Lian, he might take this opportunity to escape.

Whether it's Chi Lian or other cultivators observing in secret, they will all see through his outward strength but inner weakness, and those who dared not make a move will now dare to do so.

In that case, their deaths would be inevitable.

Even if he truly possessed some kind of ultimate trump card, he still couldn't handle so many cultivators at the Enlightenment Realm...

Moreover, she still had no idea whether he had any trump cards up his sleeve.

There's no other way but to go down this path to the bitter end.

Hopefully, this mysterious Taoist master will truly be a turning point in fate.

This conversation was a secret exchange between the two.

Dawa did not speak.

She handled everything in a very professional manner.

Her movements were swift, like a wisp of smoke.

It was a movement technique that he hadn't used on the way through the smoke that day.

Judging from this meeting alone, she is quite different from Dawa on that day.

However, in a dangerous and dangerous place, under certain circumstances, one cannot see the true nature of the situation.

Until they bypassed the mountain gate with the three large characters "Luan Yun Tian" written on it and took a mountain path from the side, the former Dawa seemed to be returning little by little.

At least, when she occasionally met Lin Xiaosu's gaze, there was always a hint of shyness in her eyes. Oh, and today, she seemed to be carrying a touch of surprise.

There is a mountain peak ahead.

Halfway up the mountain, there is a row of small houses.

It is shaped like an arched moon.

A small house with a large courtyard, and several disciples.

The people looked somewhat surprised when they saw Dawa enter with two others.

“Dawa, who are they?” An old man turned around from under the eaves.

Dawa said, "An old friend from the outside world wants to stay with me for a few days, Uncle Ding, is that alright?"

"You've already agreed, what can I say?" Uncle Ding sighed softly, "Keep quiet! Don't go out unless absolutely necessary."

“Okay! Thank you, Uncle Ding!” Dawa said.

Then, she led Lin Xiaosu and Feng Ji through the door of a small house.

As soon as the door closed, Lin Xiaosu suddenly felt that the surroundings had become extremely quiet.

He raised his eyes and stared at the few blue stone tiles on the courtyard wall.

Under his all-seeing eye, the blue stone tiles clearly stirred up ripples in the air.

These air ripples are intangible, yet they have a soundproofing effect; they are not a magic array, but they are even better than one.

This Taoist master seems to have some skills.

This is Lin Xiaosu's reflection.

Feng Ji's feelings were complicated.

When Dawa arrived here and was questioned by the person in charge, she only said, "An old friend came to stay for two days," without mentioning the "Celestial Master's decree."

Outside, he conspicuously displayed the Celestial Master's Decree, telling Chi Lian, "My master invites you."

But here, the story is quite different.

Could it be that the "decree from the Celestial Master" was a lie? Could it be that this little girl was actually trying to save him?
What is their relationship?

Dawa finally looked up at Lin Xiaosu, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were full of joy: "Brother, I really didn't expect you to come."

Brother...

Feng Ji's heart pounded wildly.

She lived away from the city for a while and deliberately searched for information about marriage and love from the outside world. She knew that people from the outside world were very complicated, including the various ways they addressed their husbands. Most Han Chinese called their husbands "husband," while many ethnic minorities called their husbands "brother."

The woman in front of me, who is said to be from an ethnic minority, blurted out "Brother"...

My God, could it be his mistress from outside the family?

Lin Xiaosu's behavior was also very suspicious: "Dawa, the main reason I came to Luanyuntian this time is to find you."

"Huh? Really?" Dawa's face turned red, and his cheeks were practically glowing.

"Well, really!"

What do you want with me?

Upon hearing Dawa's words, Feng Ji suddenly felt a bit superfluous. Had she become the third wheel that everyone was talking about?
However, Lin Xiaosu's answer was surprisingly orthodox: "You told me last time that you were afraid to go home because you were worried about bringing disaster to your family. Now I want to tell you that you should try to go home and see."

Dawa was slightly taken aback: "Why does the prince think... I... I can go home now?"

Her heart was racing as she said this.

Could it be that the prince went to her hometown?
Did the prince see through her lie from that day? (End of Chapter)
