Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"Please excuse my poor performance. I'm afraid you'll have to put up with this for now, Sister Wu," Lin Aoxue said with a wry smile.

Wu Linzhi understood Lin Aoxue's predicament, and she could only stay here for the time being.

As for Yue Jiang and the others, although they left the restaurant, they did not actually leave; instead, they waited outside.

"Junior Sister Feng, your young sect leader has quite a temper. She's definitely hiding the person. I'll stay here and keep watch. I want to see if that woman can stay hidden forever." Yue Jiang was getting angry.

Feng Wenshu had no other choice but to say this.

"Fellow Daoist Yue, I think we should look elsewhere," Feng Wenshu suggested.

However, Yue Jiang was not an idiot. If Lin Aoxue had hidden the person here, and they left to look for him elsewhere, wouldn't that be letting him go?

“No, I think that woman should be here, but I don’t know how she hid herself. I’m personally leading a team to stay here, and as for other places, we will ask the other two families to help us search,” Yue Jiang said.

This guy is now in a bind. After all, he brought this trouble upon himself. If he doesn't restore the sect's reputation, he'll be out of luck here, and he'll definitely be held accountable when he returns to the sect.

“Junior Sister Feng, let me stay here with Fellow Daoist Yue. I believe that if that woman is really here, she will definitely appear after Junior Sister Lin and the others leave. With me here, it will be more effective to capture her,” Zhao Ke suggested.

Feng Wenshu fell into deep thought. She could only nod and then return to the branch to explain the matter to Yunming.

Let's take a look at Lin Aoxue and the others.

"It seems these guys are determined to capture Sister Wu. They've been keeping watch outside. Liu Yun, you should have a way to take Sister Wu away, right?" Lin Aoxue asked again.

But Ye Liuyun couldn't guarantee that.

"It's hard to say. We can have Sister Wu change her appearance. Maybe that will help her get out of there. The Misty Cloud Sect must have asked the other two sects to help search for her. As soon as Sister Wu shows up in the city, she will definitely be discovered. Sister Wu, you have no choice but to leave Silent City," Ye Liuyun said.

There's nothing we can do about it.

"This? Are we sending Sister Wu away from Silent City? This month, Silent City is under the management of the Misty Cloud Sect, and they are probably already strictly checking cultivators entering and leaving the city. Changing one's appearance doesn't mean one can completely avoid the checks." Lin Aoxue said with some worry.

Indeed, going out now is not a solution.

At this moment, a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect guarding the gate of Silent City was holding a mirror and reflecting it onto the cultivators leaving Silent City.

This is a special magical artifact called the Source-Illuminating Mirror, a unique magical tool that can break through disguise methods.

The people of the Yanxia Sect must have already considered that Wu Linzhi might try to escape by disguising her identity, so they will not give her that opportunity.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue had already finished all the spiritual food on the table and were about to leave.

However, Wu Linzhi was not available to appear at the moment, so after discussing it, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue paid the money. It was only a few thousand spirit stones, which they could afford.

"I'm sorry, sisters, I've dragged you into this. Don't worry, I'll make up for the cost of this meal once I'm out of here," Wu Linzhi said awkwardly.

But Lin Aoxue shook her head.

“Sister Wu, we’re friends now, so don’t be so formal. The invisibility pill you have has a limited effect. This is a disguise pill, so you should take it later to change your appearance. We’ll try to distract them so you can leave. But we don’t recommend going to the city gate until we’re absolutely sure.” Lin Aoxue said seriously.

Wu Linzhi nodded.

After the three finished discussing, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue went downstairs and left the restaurant first.

As soon as the two of them came out, Yue Jiang and the others outside immediately narrowed their eyes.

However, to their surprise, Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun strode towards them.

"What? You're keeping an eye on the two of us too? Fellow Daoist Yue, do you think I'm easy to bully? And you, are you a disciple of the Cloud Mist Sect or the Misty Cloud Sect? Are you helping outsiders to spy on me?" Lin Aoxue glared angrily at Zhao Ke and Yue Jiang.

Yue Jiang was already furious, and now she was 100% certain that Lin Aoxue had hidden herself away. This was clearly a deliberate attempt to cause trouble, probably to attract their attention so that the woman would leave.

"Junior Sister Lin, don't go too far. We didn't intend to keep an eye on you. You're deliberately trying to attract my attention so that the woman can slip away in the chaos, aren't you?" Yue Jiang looked in the direction of the restaurant and said anxiously.

This guy has a very good brain, he just doesn't use it for the right things.

Looking at Wu Linzhi again, Wu Linzhi had changed her appearance and walked out of the restaurant as a male cultivator. However, she was intercepted at the door by the Yunxia Sect and Yanxia Sect.

They naturally wanted to check Wu Linzhi's identity.

The disciple of the Yanxia Sect took out a mirror. As soon as the mirror was taken out, Wu Linzhi's expression changed. She recognized the mirror.

She hadn't expected that a disciple of the Yanxia Sect would carry this thing with him; she had been careless.

"Hey? It's a disguise, it's her! Seize her!" The disciples of the Yanxia Sect shouted angrily as soon as they noticed Wu Linzhi's changed appearance in the mirror.

The commotion at the restaurant entrance caused Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun's expressions to change.

"It seems we've been discovered after all. The people of the Misty Cloud Sect are really cautious," Ye Liuyun said helplessly.

His disguise was ultimately just a disguise.

"As expected, they're inside. Luckily, I brought the Source-Revealing Mirror." Yue Jiang looked at the commotion at the entrance of the restaurant and immediately sneered.

They were about to go over when Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun stopped them.

"Fellow Daoist Yue, don't go too far," Lin Aoxue said coldly.

She had promised Wu Linzhi she would keep her promise, and she had to keep it.

"Junior Sister Lin, this person has already shown up? You still want to protect her? Are you planning to turn against our Yanxia Sect?" Yue Jiang was very anxious when he saw Wu Linzhi drive away the people from their Yanxia Sect and escape.

However, Lin Aoxue had no intention of letting him leave, so he could only turn his attention to Zhao Ke.

Zhao Ke understood what Yue Jiang meant, so he quickly chased after Wu Linzhi in the direction she had fled.

But Lin Aoxue immediately shouted angrily.

"Disciples of the Yunxia Sect are not allowed to interfere in this matter."

As soon as that sound rang out, the Yunxia Sect disciples who had been planning to pursue Wu Linzhi all stopped.

Zhao Ke was also forced to stop.

"Junior Sister Lin, what exactly are you trying to do?" Zhao Ke asked angrily.

"I'm not doing anything. I can't stand the behavior of the Yanxia Sect. I don't want our Yunxia Sect to collude with them. What, Senior Brother Zhao, are you determined to help the wicked?" Lin Aoxue asked Zhao Ke coldly.

But Zhao Ke, at this moment, was much more assertive.

“Junior Sister Lin, although you are the sect leader’s personal disciple, Elder Yunming is in charge of the affairs of Yunxia Street in Silent City, and I am also a personal disciple in charge of the affairs here. You have no right to order me around.” After Zhao Ke finished speaking, he left again.

Lin Aoxue did not chase after him, but she glanced at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun understood Lin Aoxue's meaning, so he also turned around and chased after Zhao Ke in the direction he had left.

"This? You? Since Junior Sister Lin insists on obstructing me, then don't blame me for being disrespectful. Don't forget, the order in the city is managed by our Yanxia Sect this month. If you obstruct me like this, I can punish you according to the city rules," Yue Jiang shouted angrily.

Yue Jiang was about to lose her temper. After saying that, she struck out with her palm at Lin Aoxue, trying to force Lin Aoxue back.

However, Lin Aoxue struck back with a palm, hitting the opponent's palm.

Although Yue Jiang was a cultivator at the late stage of the Spirit Pattern Realm, he had virtually no chance against Lin Aoxue, as their spiritual energies clashed.

Yue Jiang immediately felt an irresistible force, and was sent flying with a bang, rolling more than ten meters down the street before coming to a stop.

"This? Impossible? How can you be so strong?" Yue Jiang was stunned after getting up from the ground.

Because in his perception, Lin Aoxue's cultivation level should be lower than his.

"Hmph! Are you sure you still want to fight me? I've already shown mercy out of consideration for our relationship," Lin Aoxue reminded her.

But Yue Jiang had never suffered such an insult before.

"Damn it, Lin Aoxue, you brought this on yourself. If it causes a conflict between sects, you'll be held fully responsible!" Yue Jiang roared.

After saying that, he took out his identity token and issued a command to the inside.

"Seal off Silent City. No one is allowed to enter or leave. All disciples of the Misty Cloud Sect, come to Cloud Mist Street to arrest the perpetrators," Yue Jiang announced.

Chapter 180 Conflict (Part 3)

Yue Jiang was serious. As soon as the order was given, the disciples of the Yanxia Sect guarding Silent City immediately closed the city gates.

The patrolling disciples maintaining order in various locations also immediately rushed to Yunxia Street.

This month, the Misty Cloud Sect is in charge of maintaining order in Silent City, so they will have more disciples in the city than other sects.

However, since Lin Aoxue had already decided to do this, she must have been aware of it.

With such a commotion, the disciples of the Yunxia Sect must have reacted immediately.

"Sigh! I knew something was going to happen. Order all the disciples in the city to rush to the scene." After learning that the Yanxia Sect had issued the order, Yunming understood that a fight was inevitable.

But regardless of who is right or wrong, the people of Yunxia Sect will definitely stand by Lin Aoxue's side. As for whether the sect will hold Lin Aoxue accountable at that time, that is not her business.

Looking at Wu Linzhi, who was being chased by the disciples of the Yanxia Sect, since there was an anti-flying formation in the city, cultivators could not fly. Wu Linzhi could only rely on her movement techniques to dodge around.

But there was no way to escape; it was only a matter of time before she was caught. Moreover, she sensed an aura no weaker than hers rapidly approaching her.

"Where do you think you're going? Stay here." The expert she sensed was definitely Zhao Ke.

Zhao Ke used a special footwork technique, which made him very fast in pursuit. In the blink of an eye, he arrived behind Wu Linzhi, intending to launch a sneak attack on her.

Wu Linzhi reacted quickly, swung her fan backhand, and unleashed a storm of spiritual energy to try and stop Zhao Ke. But the moment the storm hit, Zhao Ke drew his sword and used his internal energy to pierce through Wu Linzhi's attack.

After Zhao Keji pierced through Wu Linzhi's attack, his body turned into a blur and attacked Wu Linzhi again. Because of his speed, Wu Linzhi could only exchange another blow with him, but this blow made her stagger and forced her to stop.

As soon as she stopped, the disciples of the Yanxia Sect caught up with her and surrounded her. There were eight of them. Although their cultivation was average, with Zhao Ke entangled with them, it was virtually impossible for her to escape.

"Give up, you can't leave." Zhao Ke said calmly.

"Hmph! Shameless." Wu Linzhi didn't want to say anything more and was prepared to fight to the end. However, just as everyone was about to surround and attack Wu Linzhi, a pill rolled out from the shadows and landed in front of Zhao Ke and the others.

Zhao Ke noticed the appearance of the pill, but just as he was wondering what it was, the pill suddenly exploded, and a blinding white light instantly robbed Zhao Ke and the others of their sight.

This is Ye Liuyun's Flash Pill.

Of course, Wu Linzhi was also blinded by the white light, but as she closed her eyes, she heard a familiar voice.

"Sister Wu, come with me."

"Eh? Sister Liuyun?" Wu Linzhi breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was Ye Liuyun. Then, Ye Liuyun led her to another city gate.

Although the defenses at the city gate had been strengthened, Ye Liuyun had no choice but to force his way through with Wu Linzhi.

"Ah... my eyes." Zhao Ke and the others were so blinded by the white light that tears streamed down their faces, making it impossible for them to pursue Ye Liuyun and Wu Linzhi.

The two escaped from Yunxia Street and arrived at Zixia Street, intending to exit through the east gate of Zixia Street.

Disciples from the Zixia Sect and Xixia Sect are also searching for Wu Linzhi. Wu Linzhi's appearance has been branded by the Yanxia Sect using special methods, so now all the cultivators from the four sects recognize her.

However, Wu Linzhi at this time does not look the same as before. Unless the disciples of Zixia Sect also use the Source Mirror to look at her, they will definitely not be able to recognize Wu Linzhi.

"Sister Wu, please stay calm. We've arrived at Zixia Street. They don't know you. As for your eyes, they'll recover in a little while," Ye Liuyun whispered.

Wu Linzhi nodded after hearing this.

There were also disciples patrolling Zixia Street, but as Ye Liuyun walked, he heard an unexpected voice.

"Eh? Miss Ye?"

Ye Liuyun was taken aback, then turned around to look behind her. She saw a female cultivator from the Purple Cloud Sect at the Spirit Sea Realm standing behind her with several disciples at the Spirit River Realm.

Ye Liuyun didn't recognize the other person, but judging from the other person's male disciple attire, he must have been a male cultivator before.

"Who are you?" Ye Liuyun asked in surprise.

"I... I am Nie Ying. A few years ago, our Zixia Sect clashed with your Yunxia Sect. I was seriously injured in the fight, and you rescued me from Youming Pass. However, after the strange changes in the world last time, I became like this, so it's normal that you don't recognize me," the disciple explained.

Ye Liuyun understood.

"Oh, is that so? That's quite a coincidence." Ye Liuyun smiled.

“It is indeed fate. By the way, what brings you to our Zixia Street? And what’s wrong with this young master?” the female disciple of the Zixia Sect asked in confusion.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and felt that the person in front of her might be able to help them, so she walked over to Nie Ying and told her what had happened.

Nie Ying was taken aback after hearing this, but then nodded to Ye Liuyun without any hesitation, though she remained calm.

"Junior brothers and sisters, you may continue your patrol. This Miss Ye is my savior, and I must repay her properly, so I must leave now," Nie Ying ordered.

The group nodded and then left.

After they left, Nie Ying gestured for Ye Liuyun to bring Wu Linzhi with her.

The two followed Nie Ying to their Zixia Sect branch and eventually entered her residence.

We are safe here for now.

"Alright, we're safe for now, Miss Ye. What exactly happened? Is this young master the girl that the Yanxia Sect is trying to capture in disguise?" Nie Ying asked.

Ye Liuyun also sighed heavily, and then briefly explained what had happened. Wu Linzhi's eyes had also recovered.

Nie Ying was also furious after hearing about what the Yanxia Sect had done, but there was nothing he could do. During this period, none of the four major sects were at peace.
