Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 124 Generous Compensation (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Recommendations)
On one hand, they closed the city gates and searched for Luan Xingji's whereabouts; on the other hand, they went directly to the Luan family to raid their property and exterminate their clan, arresting all of his family members!

This is the efficiency of cultivation sects!

After finishing his business, Tian Jianzi offered Li Yunjing a long speech of comfort.

The sect leader's actions moved Li Yunjing, who repeatedly said, "This matter has nothing to do with the 'Ten Thousand Swords Sect.' It's all the work of these petty people. I didn't take it to heart."

Tian Jianzi was very satisfied with this, and in his delight, he took out a talisman from his storage ring and handed it to Li Yunjing.

Tian Jianzi laughed and said, "This is a 'Heavenly Sword Talisman' that I have condensed. With one strike, even ghosts and gods will retreat! Young friend Li was frightened, so I will give you this talisman for self-defense!"

When Jian Tianzi took out such a second-tier talisman, the disciples of both sects' eyes lit up, and they looked at Li Yunjing with envy.

This kid made a killing!
This is a genuine Tier 2 medium-level attack talisman!
If it were sold on the market, how many spirit stones would it cost?

At this moment, the disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" not only did not sympathize with Li Yunjing being attacked, but instead lamented, "Why wasn't it us who were attacked?"
Fortunately, Li Yunjing was unaware of his fellow disciples' thoughts; otherwise, he would have been furious!
You're envious of someone who gets attacked and killed?

They have absolutely no humanity!
"Thank you so much for your kindness, senior! I am deeply grateful!"

At this moment, Li Yunjing's eyes lit up, and he quickly accepted the "Heavenly Sword Talisman" and thanked him repeatedly.

As for declining?
That is simply impossible!

Li Yunjing was afraid that if he said anything polite, Tian Jianzi would take his talisman back.

That's what you call a devastating loss!
"Alas! Fellow Daoist Tianjianzi, why do you do this?"

Deacon Liang, standing to the side, shook his head slightly, then looked at Li Yunjing and said, "Li Yunjing, you must remember the kindness of Fellow Daoist Tianjianzi! Remember the kindness of the 'Ten Thousand Swords Sect'! This is Fellow Daoist Tianjianzi's most powerful divine ability. Once this talisman is activated, even a cultivator at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm will be killed by the Heavenly Sword!"

"This is top-quality stuff!"

Finally, Deacon Liang sighed, he hadn't expected that Tian Jianzi would go to such great lengths to reassure their "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

"Sect Leader Tianjianzi! I will remember this kindness! Your cultivation is profound and your magic power is boundless, which I naturally cannot repay. However, fellow Daoists of the 'Ten Thousand Swords Sect', if you ever need anything from me, I, Li Yunjing, will never refuse to do it if it is within my power!"

Li Yunjing was very clever. After hearing Deacon Liang's reminder, he repeatedly assured Tian Jianzi.

These were well-spoken words. Not only was Tian Jianzi satisfied, but even some of the disciples of the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" present smiled, very pleased with Li Yunjing's attitude.

The biggest crisis was resolved by Tian Jianzi. After the two sides talked for a while, Tian Jianzi left with the people of the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect".

Only the disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" remained in the room.

After everyone sat down, Deacon Liang asked, "Li Yunjing, what did you do? How did you attract someone's pursuit?"

"Forehead……"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Li Yunjing had no choice but to admit that he couldn't hide it.

Once the "Jubaolou" brand is traced, his extravagant spending will immediately expose his true colors.

It's better to confess than to be found out by someone else.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yunjing said, "I went to the 'Treasure Pavilion' trade fair and spent a lot of money to buy some things for Senior Sister Yu Yunyi of Chaoyang Peak. I guess I showed off my wealth, which is why I was attacked."

At this moment, Li Yunjing immediately shifted the blame onto Yu Yunyi.

Anyway, they couldn't possibly ask Yu Yunyi for confirmation.

His own words were ambiguous, and he waited until he gave the gift to Yu Yunyi.

The two will inevitably not match up, and then the lie will be flawless.

Unless Yu Yunyi or Deacon Liang and the others are determined to conduct a serious investigation!
However, neither side would waste their energy or resources on Li Yunjing's matter.

"Ha ha……"

Before the others could react to Li Yunjing's words, Lü Ruoxi sneered and looked at Li Yunjing with a half-smile.

There was a hint of sorrow, a hint of jealousy, or perhaps a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Her emotions were incredibly complex, and even Li Yunjing couldn't quite understand what this woman was thinking.

"Hmm? Attending a trade fair? Didn't you try to hide your presence?"

Deacon Liu seemed somewhat displeased, and asked with a frown.

"Uh! Reporting to Deacon Liu, this disciple is a disciple of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'. Having come to a place like 'Ten Thousand Swords City', I naturally do not wish to conceal my whereabouts and tarnish the prestige of my 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'."

Li Yunjing touched his nose and said somewhat guiltily.

"Hmm! There's nothing wrong with that!"

Deacon Liang seemed quite satisfied with Li Yunjing's explanation and even took the initiative to speak up for him and help him out of the predicament.

As for how many spirit stones Li Yunjing spent and what good things he bought, the three stewards did not ask any further questions.

How much wealth can an outer disciple possess...?

Only the bumpkins of "Ten Thousand Swords City" would be envious of such a small sum of money, and would shamelessly do something like intercepting and killing Li Yunjing. If it were them, they wouldn't even give it a second glance...

At this moment, the three deacons had no idea how wealthy and powerful Li Yunjing was!
Later, when the three of them learned that Li Yunjing had spent nearly 50000 spirit stones that day, they were almost slapped in the face.

The attack on Li Yunjing was just a minor incident.

The next day, everything returned to normal.

The people from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" went through another day of formalities, while Li Yunjing moved to another room and stayed there without going out.

This time, the people of the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" learned their lesson. An elder of the sect personally guarded the outer perimeter of the courtyard, and he would only leave when Deacon Liang and the others returned.

The goal is to ensure the absolute safety of the disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

The "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" was also very efficient. In less than a day, all fifteen members of the Luan family were arrested and imprisoned in the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" prison for strict interrogation.

As for Luan Xingji, he has disappeared without a trace and has never been caught.

Neither the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" nor Li Yunjing took this seriously, as the people from the "Wanjian Sect" had already shown enough sincerity.

What else can they say?

The fact that Luan Xingji fled in fear of punishment is basically confirmed. The remaining question is how the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" will issue a warrant for his arrest.

Who can say for sure how long this will take?
On the third day, Steward Liang and Tian Jianzi finished checking the accounts, and naturally there were no problems; everything was accounted for!

Both of them smiled, and everything was understood without being said.

That noon, the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" held a farewell banquet, and both sides were happy.

In the afternoon, the "Azure Cloud Boat" took off, and Li Yunjing and his group completed their mission and returned to their sect.

On the "Azure Cloud Boat," Li Yunjing did not leave the cabin. He hid in his room, constantly studying the puppet mechanical beast. The more he disassembled it, the more interested he became.

This thing is extremely complex in its construction, involving not only weapon crafting, talisman making, and array formations, but also some aspects of Taoist magic and spiritual will.

It can be said that "puppetry" is a fusion of many skills.

"It seems that Luan Xingji is quite powerful! I wonder if he can evade the 'Ten Thousand Swords Sect's' search!"

"At this moment, I actually hope that this person can escape this calamity, so that I can find him myself in the future, capture him, and find out about his 'puppet technique'!"

Looking at the parts scattered all over the ground, Li Yunjing kept plotting and started thinking about taking advantage of Luan Xingji.

Meanwhile, Li Yunjing's hands kept moving, reassembling the parts one by one. In no time, the leopard-shaped puppet mechanical beast was reassembled.

It appeared vividly before Li Yunjing!
However, the huge hole in the lower abdomen damaged the puppet's drive center, preventing it from being activated, which left Li Yunjing somewhat disappointed.

He planned to go back and find books on "puppetry" to study and see if he could complete the puppet mechanical beast.

"Boom!"

Just as Li Yunjing was pondering his next plan, suddenly, the "Qingyun Boat" shook and capsized!
"what happened?"

Li Yunjing was shocked, for this was a warship of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!
Meanwhile, there are also three Foundation Establishment Realm experts from the Shenxiao Dao Sect on the Qingyun Boat!

The Azure Cloud Boat shook violently, much to the surprise of many inner disciples.
"A member of the Yinshan Sect? Who are you! How dare you infiltrate our Great Ming Dynasty and attack my 'Shenxiao Dao Sect'?"

Deacon Liang's voice rang out, loud and clear, and all the disciples inside the "Azure Cloud Boat" could hear it clearly. Many inner disciples did not know the origin of the "Yinshan Sect," but Li Yunjing and Lü Ruoxi's expressions changed, as they knew the sect's history.

At their last gathering at Chaoyang Peak, Li Yunjing and the others also discussed the Yinshan Sect.

Unexpectedly, on the territory of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", these reckless demons actually launched a sneak attack on their "Qingyun Boat" in broad daylight!

This is absolutely outrageous!
"Hehehe! So what if you're from the Divine Firmament Dao Sect! If I encounter you, I'll slaughter you all just the same!"

This person was none other than the Yinshan Bone Demon, whom Wei Henian had invited!

Li Yunjing's departure from the sect was very sudden, and the people who orchestrated it were of a high rank, making it difficult to investigate.

By the time Wei Henian learned the news, Li Yunjing had already arrived at the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect".

Li Yunjing was a thorn in Wei Henian's side, a thorn in his flesh; without eliminating Li Yunjing, he could not achieve his goals.

Wei Henian immediately notified Yinshan Bone Demon, instructing him to begin the operation.

By the time this demon arrived at the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" from elsewhere, Deacon Liang and his group had already completed their mission and were preparing to return home.

The Yinshan Bone Demon had no choice but to follow behind until they reached this deserted place, where it suddenly attacked and forcefully killed him!

If he waits for the people from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" to return to their mountain gate, he doesn't know how much longer he will have to hide in the Ming Dynasty.

This is an extremely dangerous place.

The Ming Dynasty appeared peaceful on the surface, but in reality, experts from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" frequently patrolled various parts of the Ming Dynasty. These experts all possessed "Thousand-Mile Tracking Mirrors" specifically designed to detect demonic energy.

It's simply impossible for the Yinshan Bone Demon to hide any longer!

This is why the Yinshan Bone Demon suddenly took a risk and launched an attack, attempting to kill the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

However, the Yinshan Bone Demon cannot say this.

He and Wei Henian had an agreement to guarantee the absolute information security of the employer.

If the Yinshan Bone Demon were to state directly that he came to kill Li Yunjing, then the Shenxiao Dao Sect would investigate and discover that there was a great grudge between Li Yunjing and Wei Henian.

This is how Wei Henian was sold out.

Such a thing must not happen again.

It wasn't that Yinshan Bone Demon was particularly loyal; it was simply that he had made a heavenly oath that could not be disobeyed!
Yinshan Bone Demon then pretended to ambush the "Azure Cloud Boat" and intercept Deacon Liang's men.

"Boom!"

Li Yunjing and his group hid in the cabin, while the attacks from the outside grew increasingly fierce, accompanied by continuous rumbling thunder.

Outside, four Foundation Establishment Realm experts are vying for supremacy!
Inside the cabin, Lü Ruoxi quickly gathered all her disciples around her.

Li Yunjing leaned against Lü Ruoxi, inhaling the woman's alluring scent. At this crucial moment, he was somewhat distracted.

"Everyone, get ready! I'm going to teach you how to control the 'Azure Cloud Boat'!"

"The three deacons are doing their utmost to subdue the demon!"

"If we successfully activate the attack methods on the 'Azure Cloud Boat,' it will be equivalent to having one or even two more Foundation Establishment Realm experts on our side!"

This time, Lü Ruoxi didn't use her bewitching magic. Her beautiful face was full of anxiety as she spoke quickly.

"Senior Sister Lü! You make the arrangements! We'll do whatever you say!"

Soon, Lu Ruoxi's admirers responded quickly.

"We'll all listen to our senior sister!"

Everyone knew the situation was urgent and nodded repeatedly.

Li Yunjing nodded in agreement.

Soon, Lü Ruoxi led Li Yunjing and his group to the second floor of the "Qingyun Boat".

This is the control center of the "Qingyun Boat".

Lü Ruoxi seemed very familiar with the place and quickly taught Li Yunjing and the others how to activate the "Heavenly Thunder Cannon" on the Qingyun Ship.

The "Heavenly Thunder Cannon" is a unique attack method on the "Azure Cloud Boat".

It contains a large amount of natural lightning power, which can be converted into formations and runes when facing an enemy, and then activated by the "Heavenly Thunder Cannon".

Once Lü Ruoxi had finished debugging and preparing everything, she turned on the huge screen in the central control room to face the outside world.

Instantly, the disciples of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" who were seated saw the great battle outside on the screen.

The three masters, Deacon Liang, Deacon Liu, and Deacon Lü, formed the Three Talents Sword Formation around a man dressed in a black robe, and began to surround and kill him.

In the void, the four clashed, sword energy crisscrossed, and various streams of light flew out continuously.

"Hehehe! I never expected that the Foundation Establishment cultivators left behind by the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' would possess such combat power!"

The besieged Yinshan Bone Demon was slightly startled, not expecting the three from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" to be so troublesome.

In the eyes of Yinshan Bone Demon, almost all the Foundation Establishment experts in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" were on the front lines, and eight or nine out of ten of those left behind were useless.

In fact, it was pretty much as this person expected. Of the three deacons of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", only Deacon Liang had a high level of cultivation, on par with Yinshan Bone Demon. Deacons Liu and Lü were far inferior.

After exchanging blows for a while, the two would have been killed by the Yinshan Bone Demon long ago if it weren't for Steward Liang's protection.

"You're quite the devil!"

A shadow fell over Deacon Liang's heart. He never expected that such a demon of this caliber could appear in the heart of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect"!

Are the vulnerabilities at the front lines really that large?

Judging from Yinshan Bone Demon's cultivation level, if he were placed in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", he would at least be at the level of those Foundation Establishment Realm True Disciples!
Such a person is certainly not an unknown figure in the Yinshan Sect!
Such a person would never act as a suicide squad to enter the Ming Dynasty and stir up trouble!

Unless the higher-ups of the Yinshan Sect are completely insane, they wouldn't do something like this!

This person must have a huge conspiracy to come here!

What is it for?

Our group doesn't have any particularly important people or significant wealth!
"Lü Ruoxi?"

Deacon Liang's heart stirred, and he remembered the only true disciple on the "Azure Cloud Boat".

Lu Ruoxi has a very powerful background; she is the disciple of a powerful elder in the sect!

If anything happens to Lü Ruoxi, none of them will have a good ending!

"Damn it! That Yinshan Bone Demon might be here for Lü Ruoxi! We need to be careful. When we surround and kill him, we must be extremely cautious and not let him find an opening to ambush the 'Azure Cloud Boat' and attack Lü Ruoxi!"

Deacon Liang immediately transmitted his guess to Deacon Liu and Deacon Lü.

Deacons Liu and Lü were startled, realizing the seriousness of the matter!
Lu Ruoxi absolutely cannot get into trouble!
In particular, Steward Lü kept a close eye on the situation of the "Azure Cloud Boat". Lü Ruoxi was the most important person in the Lü family this generation and shouldered the important responsibility for the development of the Lü family!
Cultivating a true disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is as difficult as ascending to heaven!
It's not about hard work!
It depends more on talent!

Even if your family has immense power, you lack talent, and they still can't secure a spot as a true disciple!

The Lü family is just a small, ordinary family within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!
Lü Ruoxi is hope!

Steward Lü has made up his mind that even if it means his own death, he will ensure Lü Ruoxi's safety!
At this moment, the three deacons certainly didn't expect that they had all guessed wrong!

The Yinshan Bone Demon attacked them because of Li Yunjing, whom the three deacons paid the least attention to!
A mere outer disciple!
Even if the Yinshan Bone Demon himself said that he had come to attack Li Yunjing, they would not believe it!

How absurd this is!

A demonic cultivator at the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm traveled tens of thousands of miles to infiltrate the territory of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" in order to kill an outer disciple!
Are they treating them like fools?
A lie that makes absolutely no sense!

"Damn it! These three from the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' are so well-coordinated, they're really hard to deal with! Looks like I'll have to use my trump card! 'Flying Yaksha,' take them down!"

Unable to break through after a prolonged siege, and facing the impenetrable defenses of the three stewards Liang, Liu, and Lü, the Yinshan Bone Demon grew somewhat anxious.
