Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 175 Start counterattack

In response to Lü Ruoxi's concern, Li Yunjing told her to also wait at "Yaxiang Garden".

"It seems that Lü Ruoxi has advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm! Otherwise, Yu Yunyi and Fu Chao would not have informed Lü Ruoxi at this crucial moment!"

Upon hearing this good news, Li Yunjing's spirits lifted slightly.

Li Yunjing tidied himself up briefly, but did not clean up his injuries.

These are all evidence!

He's been beaten up like this; we should go back and let the big shots at the Seven Star Palace see him!

As a member of the "Seven Star Palace," how could a powerful figure stand idly by and watch him be assassinated?

Li Yunjing, dressed in tattered clothes, walked out of the room and went to the front building.

"Brother Li..."

Seeing Li Yunjing suddenly reappear, Xing'er and Yue'er were startled and quickly stepped forward.

"It's nothing! I just received a message from the sect that I need to go back!"

"I'll take this opportunity to have the sect investigate the ambush I fell into!"

Li Yunjing gave Xing'er and Yue'er a few words of advice, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

The two women were only responsible for maintaining the normal operation of "Star Moon Trading Company". Li Yunjing was unwilling to talk to them about anything else.

Even if I told them, the two women couldn't help.

"Okay! Brother Li, please be careful on your journey!"

"Make sure you recover from your injury!"

Xing'er and Yue'er were reluctant to hear this, but they knew that with such a big incident, it was the best choice for Brother Li to return to the sect.

"Don't worry! If you need anything, just ask Feng Xueting. If she doesn't listen to you, just tell me!"

"In addition, I'll give you a long-distance communication talisman. This talisman can be used a hundred or so times. If you need anything, you can contact me directly!"

"Also, if someone comes to take Feng Xueting away, don't be surprised, they are all our own people."

"Finally, please be careful and try not to go out if possible."

Looking at Xing'er and Yue'er's pitiful appearance, Li Yunjing couldn't help but give them a few more instructions.

They were also given a "Teleportation Talisman".

As for the spoils of war, Li Yunjing did not keep any.

There are just too many!

The security of this "Star Moon Trading Company" is practically zero!
For a skilled individual, sneaking in under the cover of night, they could empty the "Star Moon Trading Company" in one night.

This place is severely lacking in formations and restrictions!
Li Yunjing naturally understood everything perfectly.

But in the past, he had exhausted all his resources in order to run the shop, so how could he have the ability to buy powerful formations?
He could only do what other small merchants did: have Xing'er and Yue'er keep valuable items close to their bodies, and store other things in the warehouse or in the counter.

There are restrictive spells set up by Li Yunjing here, but they shouldn't pose too much of a problem for a few petty thieves in the Qi Refining stage.

In other aspects, we have to rely on the night patrolmen of the market management office.

After giving these instructions, Li Yunjing couldn't remember if there were any oversights, so he hurriedly left.

The customers inside the shop and the monks on the street outside looked curiously at Li Yunjing, who was dressed in tattered clothes.

Li Yunjing didn't care about the strange looks from these people.

He hurried along, head down, and soon arrived at the teleportation array.

After giving a few instructions to the guards of the teleportation array and paying them with spirit stones, Li Yunjing quickly returned to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" via the teleportation array.

With a flash of light, Li Yunjing appeared at "Welcoming Peak".

Some of the outer sect disciples on patrol were taken aback when they saw Li Yunjing appear.

This inner disciple is really pitiful!
Where did this come from?
Seeing Li Yunjing's gloomy face, these outer disciples did not dare to ask the inner disciples any more questions.

Besides, such things only piqued their curiosity; they weren't really surprised.

We are all cultivators, and there are countless instances of fighting and killing each other.

The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has a prestigious reputation, but not everyone respects it.

Death and injury are not uncommon.

This senior brother looked miserable, covered in marks from sharp weapons, and stained with blood, sweat, and mud.

However, judging from the way this senior brother walks with such a brisk pace, it seems that his fundamental health has not been damaged.

These outer disciples didn't meddle in the matter and stepped forward to inquire.

"Continue teleporting!"

Li Yunjing gave the order, and the other outer disciples understood. They accepted the spirit stones and set the coordinates that Li Yunjing requested.

After being teleported again, Li Yunjing arrived near the "Miscellaneous Service Hall" and went straight to the "Elegant Fragrance Garden".

Ignoring the strange looks from others, Li Yunjing had just arrived at the door when he saw Ma Xingyuan waiting for him there.

"Fatty, I have to go in, I'm going in first!"

This time, Li Yunjing had something to do, so he didn't say much to Ma Xingyuan. He just gave a few instructions and went inside.

"I see!"

When Ma Xingyuan first saw Li Yunjing, he noticed his injuries. He wanted to say a few words of concern, but Li Yunjing's words stopped him, so he could only nod solemnly.

But in Ma Xingyuan's heart, a storm was brewing.

Young Master Li is injured!
No wonder Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao all had gloomy expressions when they came to "Yaxiang Garden" earlier; they obviously knew that Li Yunjing was in trouble.

This time, the three true disciples came not for a meal, but to discuss business.

When Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao arrived, Ma Xingyuan sensed that something was amiss.

The appearance of Li Yunjing now confirms what he was thinking.

Ma Xingyuan secretly rejoiced, thankful that he was good at reading people and knew what was important.

When Yu Yunyi and her group arrived, they served the three of them fine tea but did not speak much to the three true disciples or disturb them.

Otherwise, if the three true disciples are in a bad mood, he will definitely get a scolding.

"Heh! The sky won't fall down!"

Seeing the serious expression on Ma Xingyuan's chubby face, which was somewhat comical, Li Yunjing couldn't help but laugh even in this tense moment.

"hey-hey……"

Ma Xingyuan chuckled twice, but dared not say anything more.

Something's clearly not right here. Young Master Li might not be happy. I'd better be careful with my words and actions and not say anything carelessly that might upset him.

"Where are Wang Yun and the others?"

Li Yunjing asked casually.

Ma Xingyuan said in a low voice, "I didn't let them come over!"

Preventing Wang Yun and the others from showing themselves and disturbing Li Yunjing and the three true disciples, with only Ma Xingyuan appearing, was clearly a clever move by the fat man.

"Not bad! You've made something of yourself!"

After listening to Ma Xingyuan's words, Li Yunjing nodded slightly and entered "Yaxiang Garden" without stopping, heading directly to his private room.

As for Ma Xingyuan, he stood obediently ten feet away outside the private room.

This fat guy is becoming more and more sensible.

Li Yunjing pushed open the door and saw that Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao had already arrived.

He nodded to everyone, then closed the door and threw out a "Minor Five Elements Array" to activate the formation, concealing the aura of the private room and preventing outsiders from discovering the situation inside.

Li Yunjing's caution startled the three people in the private room.

"Li Yunjing, how are you? Are you badly injured?"

Yu Yunyi stood up, walked to Li Yunjing's side, and asked with a frown.

Those eyes held a deep sense of concern.

That concern even concealed a hint of heartache.

"It's nothing! Just a minor injury! It'll be healed in about two weeks to a month!"

Seeing how much the young lady cared about him, Li Yunjing felt a warmth in his heart, and then said nonchalantly.

"what happened?"

Lü Ruoxi and Fu Chao also asked with concern.

"Damn it! We got tricked by Wei Henian!"

Li Yunjing sat down, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and then told him what had happened at "Sangshu Ridge".

"What? You killed two Foundation Establishment cultivators? And you even used the 'Book of Contracts' to capture a slutty woman?"

After hearing Li Yunjing's words, Fu Chao's eyes widened, and he stood up abruptly, looking straight at Li Yunjing.

Even then, he still couldn't believe it was real!
Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi were both stunned!

One person single-handedly killed more than a hundred bandits, including ten Qi Refining Realm Great Perfection cultivators and three Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
Li Yunjing, are you trying to defy the heavens? Are you even human?
It's not some mythical beast or an ancient monster reincarnated, is it?
Yu Yunyi looked somewhat disappointed.

With her true abilities, she might be able to contend with a rogue Foundation Establishment cultivator, but she would absolutely not be able to save her life under such circumstances!

Even if she uses her trump card, she is doomed to die!

Li Yunjing did it, and the price he paid was only minor injuries!
This shows that Li Yunjing has completely surpassed her, which makes Yu Yunyi feel somewhat uneasy.

Once upon a time, Li Yunjing was like an ant in her eyes.

At the time, I simply took a moment of kindness and saved his life.

It's like encountering a stray cat or dog on the street and casually helping it.

It's that simple!
Who would have thought that in less than two years, the man he had saved would end up like this!
Looking at the man in front of her, Yu Yunyi felt a tremor in her heart, a mix of emotions she didn't know what to feel.

As for Lü Ruoxi, her expression became even more strange.

She had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment Realm and had become the number one expert in this small team!

Now that Li Yunjing has killed two Foundation Establishment cultivators and captured one, doesn't that mean she might not be able to firmly control Li Yunjing anymore?

It seems that the title of the number one expert won't last long.

Thinking about this, Lü Ruoxi felt a little uneasy.

As for Fu Chao?

He was used to being criticized by Li Yunjing, so now he was the calmest one.

A life lived in a relaxed, complacent way is just different. If you get crushed, so be it!

It's no big deal. As long as it doesn't interfere with my eating, drinking, and having fun, I can enjoy every day!
Fu Chao can only console himself with this thought now.

Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao looked at Li Yunjing with very complicated expressions.

Why are you all looking at me like that?

Li Yunjing touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

However, Li Yunjing was still somewhat smug.

In just a year and a half, he soared to great heights, surpassing three true disciples.

Who in the entire "Shenxiao Dao Sect" could achieve such a feat?
Comparing yourself to mediocre people is meaningless, but competing healthily with geniuses is incredibly rewarding!
"Ugh……"

Fu Chao sighed and said slowly, "You're amazing! I'm truly impressed! Don't forget me when you become successful."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Li Yunjing glared at Fu Chao and shouted, "We're good brothers! If I forgot about you, would I even be human?"

Hearing Li Yunjing's scolding, Fu Chao felt a warmth in his heart. He picked up his teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile, "I admit I misspoke. I'll punish myself with a cup!"

"Well! That's more like it!"

Hearing Fu Chao speak like that, Li Yunjing chuckled, picked up his teacup, and drank a cup of tea with him.

Seeing how powerful Li Yunjing had become, yet he remained the same as before.

Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao all breathed a sigh of relief.

His performance reassured everyone!
Some people, once they gain power, seem to become completely different people. Their smug, petty faces are incredibly ugly and utterly unfamiliar.

Li Yunjing remained true to his original aspirations, just like before. This friendship was not in vain, and they did not invest in an ungrateful person.

"What are you thinking now?"

Yu Yunyi looked at Li Yunjing with her bright eyes and asked softly.

"I subdued Feng Xueting with the Book of Contracts!"

Li Yunjing looked at Yu Yunyi and chuckled, "What I mean is, let Feng Xueting testify against Wei Henian! Publicly expose the conflict between our two sides, and make us irreconcilably opposed to Wanfa Society!"

"Good! That's how we should do it!"

Upon hearing Li Yunjing's words, Fu Chao slammed his hand on the table and loudly praised him.

Wei Henian is really courting death, daring to surround and kill Li Yunjing. Who knows what he'll do next!
They made it public within the sect that the two sides were irreconcilably hostile, so that some people would think about whether they wanted to follow the "Ten Thousand Laws Association" downhill and become their enemies!

"But there is a problem here, namely that Feng Xueting has no evidence to accuse Wei Henian."

Lu Ruoxi frowned slightly and said calmly.

As a veteran disciple, she naturally knew that a disciple of Wei Henian's caliber could not be brought down by Feng Xueting's few words.

"Yun Jing, do you mean you want my Yu family and Fu family to protect Feng Xueting and use this woman to annoy Wei Henian?"

Yu Yunyi's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something, and she tentatively asked.

"Hehe! Yunyi is so smart!"

He looked at Yu Yunyi with admiration, noticing that her pretty face was slightly flushed and she glared at him with her big eyes.

Li Yunjing then turned around with a smile, looked at Lü Ruoxi and Fu Chao, and said, "That's exactly what I'm thinking! I'm not trying to bring down Wei Henian, but just to keep him in constant trouble and make it difficult for him to find an opportunity to target us!"

"Sure! Leave this to me! My Fu family has very strong connections within the Enforcement Hall!"

Fu Chao thought for a moment and, finding it feasible, continued, "I will find a way to create an identity for Feng Xueting, claiming that he is a loyal bodyguard of the Fu family! This time, because Wei Henian wanted to assassinate you, I had no choice but to expose my identity and help you kill Wang Wei, which is how you escaped this calamity!"

Fu Chao reacted quickly and immediately filled in the gaps for Li Yunjing.

"it is good!"

What else is there to say?
Li Yunjing gave him a thumbs up!

Fu Chao is so smart that he can think of other ways to reduce his popularity.

He truly is an excellent partner!

Li Yunjing has really messed things up this time!
He was a little scared.

One person slaughtered over a hundred people, including two Foundation Establishment Realm experts, and even captured one Foundation Establishment Realm expert alive.

Li Yunjing had no idea what kind of sensation he would experience once the news spread throughout the sect.
Last time, Li Yunjing killed a Qi Refining Realm Grand Perfection cultivator, and his name became known throughout the outer sect disciples.

If this gets out now, wouldn't we become famous among all the disciples?
Even all the Foundation Establishment cultivators know about this?

Could some powerful figures at the Golden Core stage become interested in him?

Even Li Yunjing, who was only at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm, was afraid!

The pursuit of fame and fortune can be extremely harmful.

If Li Yunjing doesn't have the ability, the benefits of becoming famous may not outweigh the drawbacks!
"Yes! Fu Chao's method is indeed good!"

Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi nodded in agreement.

Li Yunjing will definitely not be able to hide it this time, but we still need to try to minimize the impact.

One person killed so many people, that's outrageous!

If Li Yunjing and Feng Xueting joined forces to assassinate Wang Wei, the leader of the Thirteen Flying Eagles, it would be plausible!
"Okay! It's settled then!"

Fu Chao then asked, "Where is Feng Xueting? I need to send someone to pick her up, provide her with training and protection, and ensure that her testimony against Wei Henian is foolproof!"

"Yes! I opened a shop in Chiri Market, Xingyue Trading Company. Send someone to find Xing'er and Yue'er, they know Feng Xueting's whereabouts."

Li Yunjing didn't hesitate and told Fu Chao directly.

"Star, Moon?"

"Star Moon Trading Company?"

Yu Yunyi looked at Li Yunjing with a half-smile and asked softly.

But the cold glint in his eyes didn't look like he was happy at all.

Even Lü Ruoxi looked at Li Yunjing with amusement, seemingly very curious about what he had done at the "Red Sun Market".

"Cough cough!"

Seeing the expressions on the two women's faces, Li Yunjing's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.

After coughing twice, Li Yunjing's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "Yes! We tested the waters in the market and set up a small shop! Fu Chao knew about it a long time ago!"

"Oh, so this is the store you asked me to invest in last time!"

Fu Chao suddenly realized what was going on and explained, "I even thought your shop was too small and refused to invest!"

"Oh!"

Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi nodded with some skepticism.

The two women have decided that after leaving this place, they will investigate and see what Li Yunjing is up to in "Chiri Market"!
"Alright! I'm going back to the Seven Star Palace now! Elder Liu needs to take a look at my injuries and have the Seven Star Palace stand up for me!"

Knowing something was terribly wrong, Li Yunjing tried to escape!
"Ah……"

Seeing Li Yunjing escape, Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi snorted coldly at the same time. They exchanged a glance, snorted again, and then left.

"Hey! I can understand Yu Yunyi's attitude, but what is Lü Ruoxi doing? Is she just stirring things up or is she serious?"

Looking at the empty private room, Fu Chao was somewhat bewildered.

He suddenly remembered something and immediately went out to return to "Crazy Peak".

This important matter is still waiting for him to handle!

Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi acted separately, contacting their respective families and surrounding forces, preparing to go all out to cooperate with Li Yunjing and Fu Chao's actions.
