After my Daoist partners broke off their engagement, they pledged their loyalty to me!

"So what... my father is the city lord of Nebula City! And we have the powerful Jiang family behind us!"

Ye Shuyin, somewhat blustering but actually cowardly, brought up her powerful backer.

Originally, she thought Jiang Lin would restrain himself after hearing about the Jiang family, but the opposite was true.

Jiang Lin scoffed.

Suddenly, he exerted force and yanked the vine whip.

Ye Shuyin exclaimed in surprise.

He was pulled off the horse.

He fell awkwardly onto the cobblestone street.

The guards standing nearby felt a pang of despair: "We're doomed, Ye Shuyin! You've messed with us, so at least say something nice. Otherwise, you'll suffer, and we'll all be punished by you afterwards!"

Even though they knew they couldn't win, they still had to step forward as guards.

But they didn't get a chance to go forward.

Su Yao held her sword in one hand, coldly watching them.

The spiritual sword in his hand radiated spiritual power, clearly telling them: take another step forward and you will bear the consequences!

"This...this is also the Qi Sea Realm!?"

"My God, what's going on?"

"The Qi Sea Realm is quite common. You hardly ever see one, but today two have appeared, and both are so young!"

"Tsk tsk, to have two such beautiful Qi Sea Realm women protecting him, this young master must be quite an extraordinary figure!"

"Hehe, this is going to be good!"

"I remember that Ye Shuqin, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, is also nearby."

"Even if Ye Shuqin came, there probably wouldn't be anything she could do..."

The onlookers, who had gathered to watch, retreated further and further away.

But the discussions grew louder and louder.

Jiang Lin looked down at Ye Shuyin, who was lying on the ground rubbing her bottom.

[60 points of Chaos Energy]

Ye Shuyin is at the Meridian Opening Realm.

Only a pitiful sixty points of Chaos Energy.

Although this woman is ruthless, she has a good figure, especially with that domineering air about her. It would be very interesting to cultivate with her.

Jiang Lin grabbed Ye Shuyin's rattan whip, and suddenly Zhang Zishuang, with whom he had cultivated together in the ruins, flashed through his mind.

Zhang Zishuang also liked to use rattan whips.

However, it cannot compare to Ye Shuyin's vine whip.

Jiang Lin was pondering this.

Footsteps approached from afar.

"Sir, please show mercy."

A gentle female voice came from afar.

A woman dressed in a dark purple cheongsam with a slit walked briskly towards them, accompanied by a team of elite guards.

The woman's appearance was somewhat similar to Ye Shuyin's, but she had a more scholarly air about her, and her whole demeanor was gentle and refined.

This woman is none other than Ye Shuqin, the eldest daughter of the City Lord's Mansion.

After Ye Shuqin arrived, she first glanced at her disheveled sister, then looked at Jiang Lin with a serious expression.

She was well aware of her sister's arrogant and domineering personality.

I have also advised her many times.

But she just wouldn't listen.

Relying on the fact that the Ye family is the city lord's mansion, they don't take the other cultivators in Xingyun City seriously.

Now they've really hit a brick wall.

However, this is her sister, and she cannot stand idly by.

Ye Shuqin then looked at Jiang Lin and said softly, "Young master, my younger sister is young and ignorant. If she has offended you, I apologize on her behalf."

After speaking, Ye Shuqin bowed slightly.

As she bowed, her smooth, jade-like thighs were faintly visible beneath the deep purple, slit cheongsam.

It makes one's imagination run wild.

Ye Shuqin certainly gave it her all.

It's a pity.

Jiang Lin had no intention of letting this go so easily.

Now that they know the Ye family has pledged allegiance to the Qin family of the Snowdrift Dynasty, they're definitely going to have some fun with them!

"Heh, young and ignorant?"

Jiang Lin slapped Ye Shuyin across the face.

A loud "smack" rang out.

A clear red mark was drawn out.

"If I hadn't caught that whip, my face would have been ruined."

"How do you plan to compensate me?"

Ye Shuyin covered her face, completely stunned...

"I...I was hit?"

She actually got hit, and in the face no less?

And it happened in front of so many people in the distance!

Ye Shuyin could no longer care about the pain in her bottom. She struggled to get up, covering her face with one hand, and screamed, "Sister! Take him down! Help me take him down!"

"He slapped me in the face! He actually slapped me in the face!"

From small to large.

When has Ye Shuyin ever suffered such humiliation?

Overwhelmed by intense emotions, she let go of all her inhibitions and said whatever came to mind.

"Shut up!"

Ye Shuqin turned her head sharply and shouted.

Unlike the arrogant and domineering Ye Shuyin, Ye Shuqin had been paying attention to Jiang Lin's expression from the beginning.

The elite guard she brought was the Black Armor Army of the City Lord's Mansion, and Granny Yun beside her was a mid-stage Qi Sea Realm expert.

When she arrived, Granny Yun's Qi Sea Realm aura was already fully released, however...

The other party's expression remained completely unchanged.

The other two women were the same.

This means the other party is completely fearless.

Ye Shuyin, the younger sister, thought that her arrival would give her support.

Little did she know that, without even knowing the other party's background, she dared not cause trouble rashly, even with Granny Yun, a Qi Sea Realm guard, by her side.

Jiang Lin slapped Ye Shuqin's sister in front of her, which angered Ye Shuqin. Her high, full breasts heaved rapidly beneath her bulging purple cheongsam.

It looks quite unique.

In this situation, her younger sister, Ye Shuyin, started yelling and screaming without thinking, which gave Ye Shuqin a terrible headache.

Ye Shuyin was stunned.

This time, he finally covered his face and didn't say anything.

However, his eyes were still filled with hatred.

Jiang Lin didn't care. Looking at Ye Shuqin, the elegant woman in the purple cheongsam, he smiled slightly and said, "You've seen it too. Even now, she's still so rude."

"Grandma Yun." Ye Shuqin tilted her head slightly to look at the old woman, who gently shook her head, indicating that she should not make a move.

Seeing this, Ye Shuqin sighed softly.

Grandma Yun once told her that.

Even if her opponent was at the late stage of the Qi Sea Realm, Granny Yun wouldn't be afraid, but now...

Granny Yun meant that these seemingly young men and women actually possessed strength exceeding that of the late-stage Qi Sea Realm, and she was not confident in their abilities!

However, she had already sent a signal before she came over.

The city lord's mansion will send three more Qi Sea Realm retainers over, and Xinghai has already arrived.

Plus the formidable Granny Yun.

There are four Qi Sea Realm experts present.

She seemed more confident.

Just as Ye Shuqin finished her thoughts, three figures descended from the sky.

"Miss Ye." ×3!

Seeing the arrival of her three other Qi Sea Realm elders, Ye Shuqin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

These three Qi Sea Realm cultivators lived a secluded life in the City Lord's Mansion, enjoying the mansion's cultivation resources.

Now, it's time to lend a hand.

However, before Ye Shuqin could speak...

The three retainers spoke first: "Miss, don't worry, the city lord has arrived as well."

"Dad's here too?" Ye Shuqin was taken aback.

Ye Yuan, the city lord of Nebula City, has been in seclusion for cultivation.

He vowed to break through to the fifth level of the Profound Realm before leaving seclusion.

Therefore, Ye Shuqin manages all matters, big and small, in the City Lord's Mansion.

Now, Ye Yuan has actually emerged from seclusion?

Doesn't that mean...?

Her father has already broken through to the Profound Realm!?

At this moment, the old man's laughter echoed from all directions of the street: "Hehe, I have been in seclusion for so long, but I did not expect to encounter someone who does not take my Nebula City Lord's Mansion seriously as soon as I came out of seclusion today."

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged.

An old man in a gray robe appeared next to Jiang Lin.

The old man's hair was a mix of gray and white.

However, those eyes were bright and piercing.

As soon as he appeared, the flow of spiritual energy in the surrounding world seemed to slow down.

"Greetings, Lord City Lord."

As soon as Ye Yuan appeared, a large number of the guards from the city lord's mansion knelt down.

Beside Jiang Lin, Su Yao and Zeng Muxue frowned slightly.

Unexpectedly, the city lord of Nebula City has already broken through to the Profound Realm.

They hadn't even had time to react to Ye Yuan's entrance, neither with their naked eyes nor their spiritual senses.

By influencing the surrounding spiritual energy, one can make their physical body evade spiritual detection—something only those who have surpassed the Qi Sea Realm can do.

If this matter is not handled properly today...

I am afraid……

Gu Lanxing wasn't afraid.

In her heart, the young master was omnipotent.

Since the young master has no fear.

As the young master's maid, she couldn't let him lose face. Although the old man looked intimidating, she wasn't afraid!

Another person who isn't afraid.

Ye Shuyin was suppressing her emotions.

Ye Yuan has arrived.

Ye Shuyin was no longer afraid.

She rushed to Ye Yuan's side, grabbed his arm and shook it violently, crying, "Father, why did you take so long to come? I was slapped! Look at my face!"

"Hurry and help me capture them; I need to teach them a lesson and torture them!"

As she spoke, she moved her hand away from her face.

A clearly visible handprint came into Ye Yuan's view.

Ye Yuan's lips twitched.

If he hadn't guessed that Jiang Lin and the others were no ordinary people, he would have made his move long ago. Why would he have waited until now?

How dare you slap Ye Yuan's daughter in the face!

The reason they didn't take action was...

It's also because they're afraid of offending the wrong people.

Although he indulged his daughter, he was not as reckless as his daughter, Ye Shuyin, in order to become the city lord.

Thinking of this, Ye Yuan looked at Jiang Lin.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with an undeniable authority and the majesty of a Transcendent Realm expert: "Young brother, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation for this matter, I'm afraid your father will have to come to Nebula City to retrieve him!"

"City Lord Ye Yuan, right?" Jiang Lin was completely unfazed. Seeing that this old fellow Ye Yuan was acting like he was in charge, he took out the Holy Maiden's Token given to him by Huangfu Yuning and said indifferently, "I admire your courage to dare to send the Holy Maiden of my Misty Holy Land to pick up the person."

Do you dare send the Holy Maiden of my Misty Holy Land to escort people here?

These words struck Ye Yuan like a thunderbolt. Having broken through to the Profound Realm, he was preparing to use his second daughter, Ye Shuyin, to restore the prestige of the City Lord's Mansion in Xingyun City.

I never expected that the other party's backer was...

The Holy Maiden of the Misty Sacred Land!?

He stared intently at the Holy Maiden's Decree that Jiang Lin had taken out.

The cloud-patterned gold trim...

That jade-like, clear luster...

This is the Holy Maiden's Decree of Fairy Yu Ning, one of the two Holy Maidens of the Misty Holy Land!

Ye Yuan's expression changed at this point.

She became even whiter than Ye Shuyin had been.

No, we need to think of a way to fix this quickly.

He took a deep breath and, to everyone's astonishment, slowly bowed down.

He bowed deeply to Jiang Lin!

"Ye Yuan of Nebula City greets the envoy from the Holy Land."

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Messenger from the Holy Land?

That's a legendary, high and mighty being!

Seeing her father, a cultivator at the Profound Realm, bowing his head to Jiang Lin, who had slapped her, Ye Shuyin was completely dumbfounded.

She stared blankly at the token in Jiang Lin's hand.

My mind went completely blank.

Jiang Lin put away the token and smiled, "Since you recognize this token, things will be easier."

He pointed at Ye Shuyin.

"This Ye Shuyin is incredibly rude. I'm taking her away to teach her a lesson. Do you have any objections?"

"Hmm? This is Lord Ye from Nebula City?"

Upon hearing that Jiang Lin was going to take his daughter away, Ye Yuan's face flushed red and then turned pale.

Under the glorious holy power of the Holy Maiden's decree.

He's nothing but a Transcendent Realm cultivator!

He knew that if he refused today...

The entire Nebula City is likely to be turned upside down.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Since the Holy Land envoy is willing to discipline her, this is a blessing for Shuyin."

"No, Dad!? You're insane!"

Ye Shuyin retreated in terror, but Jiang Lin grabbed her fair neck.

"Very good, Lord Ye knows when to yield."

Then, Jiang Lin whispered in Ye Shuyin's ear, "Don't rush, I'll teach you manners slowly at the inn."

In an instant.

This once arrogant second young lady felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Jiang Lin casually tossed Ye Shuyin to Su Yao, who was standing to the side.

He strode towards the restaurant.

Su Yao followed behind Ye Shuyin, keeping her head down and eyes lowered. Zeng Muxue rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "She's a troublemaker wherever she goes."

Only Gu Lanxing.

She looked at the young master's back with eyes full of admiration.

sunset.

Su Yao pressed down on the struggling Ye Shuyin and followed Jiang Lin into the most luxurious inn in Xingyun City.
