Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

At this moment, Lin Yanyi had already broken through to the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage, and was only one step away from the Foundation Establishment stage.

With her natural talent, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage would have been no problem.

However, without the Foundation Establishment Pill, no matter how strong her comprehension or how high her talent, it was all useless.

The Qingyun Sect will not allow this descendant of the Lin family to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage; they will not give her even the slightest chance.

Even if Lin Yanyi was an overly kind person, she wouldn't develop any feelings for such a sect.

"Master, where are we going next?" A female cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining asked Lin Yanyi respectfully.

This female cultivator was none other than Liu Xueyao, a descendant of the Liu family from the former rogue cultivator market.

The innocent and carefree eldest daughter of the Liu family back then has now grown into a mature and steady cultivator at the fourth level of the Qi Refining stage.

After escaping from Qingyun Sect, Liu Xueyao had some worries. She hadn't expected that Qingyun Sect, one of the three major sects in the Canglin region, could undergo such a major change overnight.

So many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, the usually aloof inner disciples, those seemingly godlike figures, have died.

Just like ordinary people, they perish when they die.

The activation of the sect's magic array also suggests that a huge change has taken place in the Qingyun Sect.

This change must be bad, otherwise Master wouldn't have led the disciples of the miscellaneous servants to rebel against the sect.

However, Liu Xueyao was very pleased with what happened at Qingyun Sect. She had never forgotten that it was the three major sects that joined forces to destroy her Liu family back then.

Especially Biluo Valley and Qingyun Sect!

However, Liu Xueyao was never capable of taking revenge in this lifetime, so she buried her hatred deep in her heart.

Now that the Qingyun Sect has suffered this calamity, it can be considered as revenge for the hatred in her heart.

While Liu Xueyao was thinking this, Lin Yanyi was thinking even more. Since leaving the sect, her face had never changed; it had always been gloomy.

It's not that she has any feelings for the Qingyun Sect.

The changes that have taken place in the Canglin region are hard to say whether they are good or bad. It seems that these Qi Refining cultivators have no ability to protect themselves if they encounter danger!

We can only wait to die! But there's no particularly good solution right now, so we can only take it one step at a time.

"Let's leave Qingyun Mountain first, go to Canglin City to make some preparations, and then we'll get ready," Lin Yanyi said to the disciples and apprentices in the servants' quarters.

Just then, someone from the servants' quarters spoke up:

"Senior Sister, Junior Brother has been away from home for many years and doesn't know the situation back home. Now that I'm leaving Qingyun Sect, I have time to go back and I'd like to visit my family."

Actually, this person's claim of wanting to go home was a lie; his real intention was to leave Lin Yanyi.

Having already left Qingyun Sect, they felt there was no benefit in following Lin Yanyi.

Why not go to a small place, use your Qi Refining stage cultivator strength to go to a mortal village and become a local tyrant?

Many disciples in the miscellaneous servants' quarters shared this view: although their senior sister Lin Yanyi was kind to them, she wasn't ruthless enough to control them.

They felt that there was no future in following Lin Yanyi, so they decided to leave as soon as possible.

"Alright, if anyone else wants to leave, I, Lin Yanyi, will not stop them!" Lin Yanyi wasn't stupid; she naturally understood what everyone was thinking and immediately spoke up.

"I!"

Soon, someone echoed this sentiment, bid farewell to Lin Yanyi, and turned to leave.

In no time, most of the people had left.

Only Liu Xueyao, Liu Yujing, and a few other Liu family disciples remained.

Of the disciples from the miscellaneous servants' quarters, only two remained.

Everyone else left!

As for those senior brothers who were familiar with Jiang Shi, they have long since disappeared.

None of them survived to this day; they all perished under the difficult missions of the Qingyun Sect.

This is the cruelty of the cultivation world; although the number of years a cultivator can live increases significantly with each breakthrough in their cultivation level.

However, the cultivation world is fraught with danger, and ordinary people without powerful backers simply cannot survive long!

"Senior sister, these ungrateful wretches! Don't they realize who has been protecting them in the Qingyun Sect all these years?" A junior brother in the mid-stage of Qi Refining spoke up for Lin Yanyi.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, let's go." Lin Yanyi didn't mind, and after saying this, she led the team towards Canglin City.

Meanwhile, three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators were secretly watching them.

"Senior brother, are we really going to do this? Look at those little jade tokens, they are disciples of the Qingyun Sect, and from aristocratic families!" a junior brother said with some concern.

"Hmph, they're killing Qingyun Sect disciples, they're killing scions of aristocratic families. We rogue cultivators have suffered endless oppression at the hands of these beasts from the Qingyun Sect over the years!"

"The news of the great upheaval in the Qingyun Sect has already spread. They are too busy taking care of themselves to have time to deal with these Qi Refining disciples!" the leading senior brother said fiercely.

Just by looking at this person, you can tell that he must have been bullied by the scions of the Qingyun Sect in the past.

Among the scions of aristocratic families in the Qingyun Sect, there are many arrogant and domineering individuals who bully rogue cultivators and wipe out entire families—such things are commonplace for them.

Countless rogue cultivators in the Canglin region have been harmed by them!

"This time, I'm using these female cultivators as a target to vent my anger!" the leading senior brother said, and was about to step forward to attack Lin Yanyi and the others.

Lin Yanyi was unaware that someone was plotting to harm her!

Just as the three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators were about to make their move, a critical moment arrived.

A dark figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Are you going to use my daughter as a scapegoat?" A middle-aged Foundation Establishment cultivator dressed in black robes stood before the three cultivators.

This man was Lin Yanyi's father, Lin Feiyu, the manager of the servants' quarters!

Lin Feiyu's face was gloomy, and he stared at the three cultivators with murderous intent.

The three cultivators were so frightened by Lin Feiyu that they almost wet themselves. They were all terrified!

"How could I possibly encounter a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!"

"Senior brother, you've got me into trouble!"

"The Qingyun Sect has too deep a foundation; we really can't afford to offend them!"

The three of them thought to themselves, they were almost scared out of their wits.

A significant difference in skill level cannot be erased simply by increasing the number of people.

Even if those three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators were combined, they would never be a match for a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

I'm afraid the other side could take them down with just one hand.

"Senior, I...!" The leading cultivator was about to beg for mercy, hoping for a chance to live.

But as soon as they opened their mouths, a burst of demonic energy flew out and enveloped all three cultivators!

"Trying to harm my daughter, Lin Feiyu? You're asking for death!" Lin Feiyu didn't take these late-stage Qi Refining cultivators seriously at all.

A mere wisp of demonic energy was enough to kill them like dogs.

Lin Feiyu was just as cold-blooded when he was in the Qi Refining stage, treating ordinary cultivators as less than human. Now that he has broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he is even more so.

On the other side, he woke up underwater. He had already completed his cultivation and was ready to emerge from seclusion.
