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

Outside Black Knife Stronghold, while Kong Xin was there to support Jiang Lin, she couldn't help but feel a little worried that Jiang Lin wouldn't be able to handle things on his own.

Fortunately, she didn't have to wait long.

As Jiang Lin emerged from the depths of the misty formation, Kong Xin quickly approached him and asked with concern, "Junior Brother, how are you? Have you cleared out all the threats from Black Knife Stronghold?"

"I didn't let the women who came out earlier leave on their own. It's a miasma forest outside, and it wouldn't be safe for them to leave. I made them wait on the side."

After speaking, Kong Xin pointed to the group of women huddled together for warmth not far away.

Jiang Lin nodded: "They've all been dealt with, not a single one was left alive!"

He briefly recounted what had happened in the village.

Including Wu Jun, who was hiding in Black Knife Village.

Upon hearing this, Kong Xin's impression of Jiang Lin improved even further.

She breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Jiang Lin, and jokingly asked, "Cao Pi must have looted some good things in Black Knife Stronghold. Did you find anything, Junior Brother?"

Kong Xin's words were unintentional and just a casual remark.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Lin nodded seriously and took out two books from his storage bag.

Kong Xin looked at it with curiosity and took it to look through it.

It was fine if she hadn't looked, but once she did, her cheeks immediately turned bright red.

This cultivation method is actually an evil dual cultivation technique; during its practice, it often results in the death of women.

What made her blush was another picture book, in which the exquisitely detailed little figures were all depicted as one man with multiple women.

She closed the drawing in embarrassment and anger, glaring at Jiang Lin: "Junior brother, why are you looking for this kind of thing? Can't you be a little more discreet?"

Kong Xin's voice carried a hint of coquettishness.

He returned the two books to Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin chuckled: "This dual cultivation technique is too sinister, but the positions in this picture book are some good stuff."

"When you have time, senior sister, shall we discuss this together?"

As he spoke, Jiang Lin glanced at Kong Xin's breasts and figure.

Faced with Jiang Lin's blunt words, Kong Xin rolled her eyes at him, but did not refuse verbally.

Next, it was time to return home.

Jiang Lin and Kong Xin, along with the women, spent several days traveling to the surrounding towns as quickly as possible.

Once they reached the town, the women's decision of whether to stay or leave was up to them, while Jiang Lin and Kong Xin headed back to the Misty Holy Land.

Jiang Lin still found it a bit strange along the way.

He had thought Su Yao would come looking for trouble.

Either while he was on a mission, or when he was returning to the Misty Holy Land, nothing happened even though he was almost at the entrance of the Misty Holy Land!

Just as Su Lin was thinking this, Kong Xin suddenly made a move, knocking down the two hidden arrows with a burst of spiritual energy.

"Who dares to attack the disciples of the Misty Holy Land!"

Kong Xinjiao shouted.

At the same time, her spiritual sense swept out without hesitation.

Jiang Lin also swept away the spiritual thoughts at the same time.

Soon, Su Yao, along with two other male disciples, swiftly rushed over.

"Su Yao, you actually came." Kong Xin wasn't surprised to see Su Yao, but she was worried about Jiang Lin's safety. So, she invoked the rules of the Misty Holy Land and sneered, "Su Yao, the Misty Holy Land is not far away. Do you dare to disregard the rules of the Holy Land?"

"Hmph! Kong Xin, you little bitch, if it weren't for that bastard Jiang Lin helping you, would you have been able to beat me in the ring?"

Su Yao stared at Kong Xin and Jiang Lin with resentful eyes.

Especially Jiang Lin; if it weren't for him, Kong Xin wouldn't have been able to obtain the Azure Spirit Gathering Pill, and naturally wouldn't have been able to defeat Su Yao.

This time, Su Yao invited two helpers to come over in order to cripple Jiang Lin and vent her hatred!

"As for the rules of the Holy Land?"

"Excuse me, we haven't reached the holy site yet!"

"The rules of the Holy Land don't apply here!"

"You two, get your hands on him and cripple Jiang Lin!"

Su Yao wasn't prepared to waste any more words. She pointed at Jiang Lin and gave instructions to the two helpers beside her.

"Yes, Senior Sister Su Yao!"

Both male disciples were at the ninth level of the Meridian Opening Realm.

Su Yao promised them some benefits before she approached them, and they agreed to come after discussing it. They didn't expect that she was only dealing with another person in the Meridian Opening Realm. Wasn't this a piece of cake?

Let alone two against one, even in a one-on-one fight, they are confident that they can quickly cripple this kid.

Kong Xin hurriedly stepped in front of Jiang Lin, her spiritual energy surging as she prepared to stop the two male disciples.

However, Su Yao lunged forward, angrily shouting, "Kong Xin, your opponent is me! I lost to you last time, but that might not be the case this time!"

Su Yao's main martial art is the Soft Water Palm, a high-level mortal-rank technique. Each palm strike and punch carries a faint mist of water vapor, combining softness with strength, and she is extremely adept at entanglement combat.

Kong Xin's technique is the high-level Condensed Jade Palm, a martial art of the mortal realm. When she activates it, her palm shadow is as solid as white jade, emphasizing a powerful and robust style.

The two exerted all their strength, their palms colliding, and the spiritual energy rippled outwards, causing the leaves of the trees in the mountains below to flutter and fall.

Seeing that Kong Xin was entangled with Su Yao and couldn't get away for the time being, the two male disciples at the ninth level of the Meridian Opening Realm immediately felt relieved.

They rode on flying swords, using sword control techniques to rush towards Jiang Lin. One of them used the high-level mortal-rank martial art, Gale Finger, while the other used the Mountain-Crushing Fist.

"Kid, don't blame us, blame yourself for offending Senior Sister Su Yao."

"Why waste your breath on him? Take this punch!"

The two men grinned menacingly, but their expressions quickly froze.

Because the expected Jiang Lin's panicked retreat did not happen; instead, he came at them with both fists.

Has this kid gone mad?

They actually wanted to confront two ninth-level Qi Refining Realm cultivators head-on!

Jiang Lin's eyes were cold, and he didn't say a word.

So what if one reaches the Ninth Level of Meridian Opening Realm?

Although he was only at the fourth level of the Meridian Opening Realm, he had awakened the initial Thunder Spirit Body, and his physical physique was already far superior to what it used to be.

Seeing that both of them were using close-combat martial arts, Jiang Lin didn't hold back either. He activated the Thunderclap Heart Sutra and unleashed the Thunderclap Fist with both fists at the same time!

The three people's martial arts skills collided in mid-air.

"Junior Brother Jiang Lin!"

Kong Xin was anxious and called out.

Su Yao said smugly, "Hmph, Kong Xin, there's no use in being anxious. Today I'll show you how I cripple him."

At that moment, two screams rang out.

Kong Xin looked stunned, while Su Yao's face was filled with disbelief!

Because the one screaming was not Jiang Lin, but the two male disciples at the ninth level of the Meridian Opening Realm that she had invited.

On the flying sword in the air, Jiang Lin's lightning slowly faded, and his aura surged. The two ninth-level Qi Refining Realm cultivators who were fighting against him had already fallen into the forest below, and blood mist still filled the air.

Jiang Lin just punched them so hard their hands were blown apart!

Soon, Jiang Lin used his sword-controlling technique to descend into the forest, grabbing one of them in each hand and pulling them up.

Jiang Lin temporarily sealed the spiritual power within their bodies.

"Hmph! You dare to be distracted while fighting me? Do you really think I'm made of clay?" Kong Xin seized the moment when Su Yao was stunned and decisively struck, slapping Su Yao's chest and injuring her.

Su Yao wanted to fight back, but in her injured state, she was no match for Kong Xin and was quickly captured by Kong Xin as well.

Upon reaching the forest floor, Kong Xin clapped her hands and looked at Jiang Lin with satisfaction as she saw the three people bound up: "Junior brother, your strength has improved so quickly! Su Yao brought people here specifically to seek revenge, but they all fell into our hands."

"Senior sister, don't worry, this is nothing." Jiang Lin shook his head, not caring about Su Yao, but looking in another direction, he said calmly, "Come out, stop hiding!"

Indeed, in Jiang Lin's spiritual perception, it wasn't just Su Yao who came to cause him trouble this time, but also someone else!

When they first clashed, this person had been hiding in the forest below, displaying exceptional skill in concealment.

If Jiang Lin hadn't just single-handedly crippled two ninth-level Qi Refining Realm cultivators, causing surprise to the person below, he probably wouldn't have even noticed them.

Hiding in the mountains, Chunyu was unsure whether Jiang Lin had actually discovered her and thought he was bluffing.

She remained hidden and did not move.

Jiang Lin looked at Kong Xin and gave her a direction.

Kong Xin nodded and unleashed a palm strike!

Chunyu then realized that she had actually been discovered!

She moved with agility, leaping out of the forest like a mother leopard, her watery eyes looking at Jiang Lin with curiosity.
