Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

"Sect Leader Lu, there's no need to search anymore. The Heavenly Yin Banner is already broken."

"What did you say?"

Lu Yun suddenly stood up, causing the table and chairs to slide back half a foot with a jarring sound. He stared intently at Lin Che, his tone filled with disbelief, shock, and anger.

"That's a supreme treasure of the Divine Sect! Even if it's damaged, it could never be easily broken! Fellow Daoist Lin, are you just making fun of me?"

Lin Che looked up at him, his gaze calm yet carrying an undeniable power.

"Lu Hai used the Heavenly Yin Banner to harm cultivators on the Moro Continent, and even tried to use the Yin energy within the banner to slaughter the Guiyuan Sect. When I intervened, he forcibly activated the forbidden technique of the Heavenly Yin Banner in order to blackmail me, causing the banner's spiritual energy to backfire."

"In the end, the banner could not withstand the power of the forbidden technique and disintegrated on its own. Even the fragments were devoured by the Yin energy, leaving not a trace of remains."

Lin Che paused, and a faint black aura condensed at his fingertips. The aura carried the unique chilling fluctuations of the Heavenly Yin Banner, yet it was also mixed with the chaotic spiritual energy after the banner was broken.

"This is the residual aura from back then. If Sect Master Lu doesn't believe it, he can sense it for himself."

Lin Che did not tell Lu Yun, who had been instantly killed, that he was the one who destroyed the Heavenly Yin Banner. After all, if word got out, the Divine Sect would definitely not let it go.

Lu Yun stared at the wisp of black energy, his expression gradually darkening. He extended a wisp of spiritual power from his fingertip, and as soon as he touched the energy, he felt the familiar fluctuations of the Heavenly Yin Banner.

However, the fluctuations were already fragmented and lacked the solidity that a complete magic weapon should have. This was indeed a sign that would appear after a magic weapon had collapsed.

Lu Yun staggered back into his chair, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white.

With the Heavenly Yin Banner gone, the Purple Dao Sect's greatest reliance was gone. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

The atmosphere inside the bamboo pavilion instantly plummeted to freezing point, with only the rustling of the wind through the bamboo forest making Lu Yuncong's silence all the more somber.

Lu Congyun hung his head, his eyes filled with resentment and frustration. His knuckles turned white from the force he was using, and he almost crushed the teacup in his hand.

After a long while, he suddenly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over Lin Che and Li Qianmei, finally landing on Lü Yanfei. Although his tone was still cold, it no longer carried the arrogance of before.

"Since the Heavenly Yin Banner is already broken, we can only accept this matter."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yanfei finally felt much relieved and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that Lu Yuncong was only making concessions because of Lin Che and Li Qianmei; if it were only Guiyuan Sect, things would probably not have ended well today.

Seeing this, Li Qianmei spoke up at the right time to ease the atmosphere: "Sect Leader Lu is reasonable."

"Although the Heavenly Yin Banner was shattered, it was caused by Lu Hai activating a forbidden technique on his own, and it has nothing to do with the Guiyuan Sect. From now on, why don't the Zidao Sect and the Guiyuan Sect put aside their past grievances and each guard their own territory? What do you think?"

Lu Yun did not answer immediately, but instead picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp. The warmth of the tea could not suppress the frustration in his heart.

Looking at Lin Che, he saw that the other party remained calm and composed, and that unfathomable aura made him dare not have the slightest thought of provocation.

Lin Che's strength is likely far more than what it appears to be, given that he can condense the aura of even the most precious treasures of the Divine Sect at will.

Finally, Lu Yun slammed down his teacup and stood up: "Since Fellow Daoist Li has spoken, I will naturally not dwell on this matter any longer. But I, Zi Dao Sect, will remember this humiliation."

After saying that, Lu Yunzong glanced at Lü Yanfei again, "In the future, I hope that the Guiyuan Sect will think twice before acting, and not get involved in unnecessary disputes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yun said no more. A flash of black energy enveloped him, and his figure disappeared outside the bamboo pavilion, leaving only a slightly disheveled trail of spiritual energy as he flew towards the Purple Dao Sect. Once he was completely gone, Lü Yanfei bowed deeply to Lin Che and Li Qianmei, her voice filled with gratitude.

"We are so grateful for the help of Senior Lin and Senior Li today; otherwise, Guiyuan Sect would have been doomed. We are deeply grateful and will never refuse any request from you two in the future!"

Lin Che waved his hand, his tone still calm: "It's nothing. You just need to keep an eye on the Guiyuan Sect disciples and make sure no one with ulterior motives takes advantage of the situation. That would be the best reward for us."

Li Qianmei smiled and nodded, "Fellow Daoist Lü, there's no need for such formalities. We have a long-standing relationship with the Guiyuan Sect, so it's only right that we lend a helping hand."

"However, the Moro Continent may be thrown into turmoil again because of the broken Heavenly Yin Banner. You should be careful."

Lü Yanfei nodded emphatically, cupped her hands in a respectful bow, and said, "This junior understands."

……

For the next period of time, Lin Che and Li Qianmei discussed the Dao of Heaven. Li Qianmei was also greatly shocked and admired Lin Che even more.

Li Qianmei reached out her slender hand to tidy her hair behind her ear, and said softly, "Brother Lin Che, I have to go..."

"Ah."

Lin Che nodded slightly, understanding that all good things must come to an end, and everyone must eventually leave to find their own path.

"I wouldn't have left so soon; there were still some things to confirm. But yesterday, my master sent a message saying that the number of ferocious beasts in the rift at the Demon Sect had suddenly increased... Disciples from all the ninth-tier sects must rush to their aid as soon as possible. Once we go, we don't know when we'll be able to return..."

Li Qianmei remained silent for a long time before speaking softly.

"Have a safe trip."

Lin Che put one hand behind his back and spoke slowly.

Li Qianmei remained silent for a long time before a smile appeared on her face. She pursed her lower lip, stood up, and said softly, "Will we meet again in the future?"

Lin Che looked at Li Qianmei in front of him, paused for a moment, and slowly said, "If there is an opportunity in the future, we will meet again."

Upon hearing this, Li Qianmei nodded slightly. There was nothing more to say now, since the Potian Sect needed her.

As Li Qianmei departed, her flowing blue hair revealed her identity completely. In the sea of ​​clouds, Li Qianmei was the only one with blue hair.

She could have chosen not to do it, but she did it anyway.

Li Qianmei gently bit her lower lip, looked at Lin Che's position, and bowed deeply. "Brother Lin Che, I believe that when we meet again, you will have broken through to the third step."

Lin Che nodded and smiled slightly, "The path of cultivation is never smooth sailing. Whether you can break through depends entirely on yourself."

"In this life, I, Lin Che, will not worship Heaven and Earth, but only my master and my parents. As for others, they are not qualified for me to kneel and pay my respects."

Seeing Lin Che's appearance, Li Qianmei felt a pang of bitterness. She then turned away gracefully, gazing at the vast blue sky, and murmured to herself, "Let's forget each other in the world..."

"Looking at mountains evokes feelings, looking at water evokes feelings; so many loves and hates, how can a single book possibly resolve them?"

"Peach blossoms and beautiful faces are nowhere to be seen; what difference does it make whether we know each other or not?" (End of Chapter)
