"You two blind bastards! You're getting more and more unruly!" The silver-armored cultivator scolded harshly.
The middle-aged shopkeeper and the Immortal Monarch city guard knew that they had not only kicked an iron plate but also offended an expert from the same sect.
"We deserve to die. Please spare our lives, Lord Commander. We won't do it again."
"We were blind. Senior, please don't lower yourself to our level. We'll kowtow and apologize to you."
Both of them knelt on the ground with a thump and repeatedly kowtowed to admit their mistakes, and they seemed to be extremely terrified.
"Junior Brother Xiao, how do you think we should deal with these two blind bastards?" The silver-armored cultivator asked politely.
"Haha, it's a small matter, but these two are too unruly. Their actions will definitely ruin the reputation of our Nan Hua Immortal Sect. However, I've just arrived at the immortal sect and don't know how to deal with this. Let's do it according to the sect rules, Commander, "Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.
Hearing that, the two men's faces turned ghastly pale. According to the sect rules, they would be crippled of their cultivation and expelled from the sect.
If they were in those sects in the Devil Realm, the big shots of those big forces would definitely kill them.
The silver-armored cultivator hesitated for a while before his face darkened and he said, "Okay, we'll do as Junior Brother Xiao says. We'll do it according to the sect rules!"
Before the two men could plead, the silver-armored cultivator attacked and shot out a beam of immortal light on each of them.
The immortal light wrapped around the two men tightly and dissipated after two breaths. Their cultivation dropped from the Immortal Monarch to the Early-stage Earth Immortal Realm.
For any cultivator, it was almost impossible to cultivate again after such a drastic drop in cultivation level. Moreover, it wouldn't take long for their cultivation level to drop further and they would eventually be annihilated.
"Get lost!" The silver-armored cultivator said indifferently.
The two men seemed to have aged instantly. They stood up slowly and walked out shakily.
"Junior Brother Xiao, don't be angry. Our Nan Hua Immortal School is too big and has many disciples. It's inevitable that there will be a few scums." After the two left, the silver armored cultivator explained with a smile.
Naturally, Xiao Lingyu could understand this. However, he felt a little strange. This silver-armored cultivator was too straightforward and gave him too much face. He had said that they would be dealt with according to the sect's rules. Not only did the silver-armored cultivator not intercede for them, he even personally crippled their cultivations. It was truly strange. According to the sect's rules, the two of them should first be handed over to the sect's Law Enforcement Hall.
"Now that this matter is settled, I won't disturb you any further. Goodbye."
"Take care, Junior Brother."
Xiao Lingyu wasn't familiar with the silver-armored cultivator and felt that he was a very scheming person. Thus, he didn't want to talk too much and left the city guard camp.
After leaving the city guard camp, Xiao Lingyu didn't go to sell the remaining Sand Crystals. Instead, he went to look for materials that he could use.
However, less than ten minutes after leaving the city guard camp, Xiao Lingyu suddenly frowned because he found that someone was following him.
Xiao Lingyu secretly paid attention. To his surprise, he clearly felt that someone was watching him, but he couldn't find where that person was even when he released his mind. He couldn't even find that person in the crowd.
Xiao Lingyu was a careful person, so he didn't show any surprise and continued to wander on the street.
While Xiao Lingyu was wandering, the two men whose cultivation was crippled by the silver-armored cultivator arrived at the Nan Hua Treasure Pavilion and went up to the third floor together.
The third floor of the Nan Hua Treasure Pavilion was very strangely decorated. There were no separate rooms, but pure white gauze curtains that hung from the ceiling to the ground. A chill that could penetrate one's bones faintly emanated from the curtains.
The space here wasn't as big as it looked from the outside. The two men walked for nearly an hour using a certain mysterious footwork before their eyes suddenly opened up.
At this moment, there was an ice bed in front of them. A woman in a long lavender dress was lying on it.
The woman had one hand on her lower abdomen and the other hand on her forehead. Her eyes were tightly closed, as if she had been sleeping for a long time.
Even though she was sleeping, the woman's mouth was slightly open, and her proud chest rose and fell slightly. Half of her lotus-like arm was exposed, and her pair of lotus feet weren't covered by shoes or socks. Coupled with her beautiful appearance, she really had a different kind of seduction that was intoxicating.
The two of them stared blankly. From the woman's forehead that was smooth like jade, to her fine nose that was like sheep fat, to her small mouth that was bright red like a brush, to her long and even white neck, to her slightly rising chest and flat stomach. She … Everything seemed so perfect.
Especially the city guard who was originally a middle-stage Immortal Monarch. At this moment, he was almost a little dazed, and his eyes were full of lust.
The middle-aged shopkeeper pulled the city guard away, and then the two men knelt on the ground.
At this moment, the city guard came back to his senses. He thought to himself that his cultivation had dropped too much, and he couldn't resist the temptation of beauty.
Ordinary Immortal Monarchs wouldn't show their greed on their faces when they saw a beauty in front of them.
"Disciple Gou Sheng greets Head Shopkeeper Qing Xuan," the middle-aged shopkeeper called out in a low voice as he kowtowed.
After a long time, the woman on the ice bed opened her eyes slowly, and she still looked sleepy.
"Gou Sheng, why did you disturb my sleep?" The woman didn't get up, and her voice was lazy.
"Head Shopkeeper, our cultivation bases … have been destroyed," Gou Sheng said reluctantly.
Hearing this, the woman frowned slightly. She scanned Gou Sheng and the middle-aged man with her consciousness and asked, "Who did it? Why?"
Gou Sheng said the words that he had prepared beforehand. He said with hatred, "An Immortal Emperor of our Nanhua Immortal Sect came to our Nanhua Treasure Pavilion with dozens of sand crystals and wanted to sell them to us. I didn't know that Senior Immortal Emperor, so I lowered the price …"
Perhaps Gou Sheng was too agitated, so he spoke very quickly. In just a dozen breaths of time, he had recounted the entire story. However, it was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction towards Xiao Lingyu, which even distorted the truth.
"Don't think that you can fool me just because I just woke up. If you didn't cross the line, Qing Gong wouldn't have dared to destroy your cultivation bases."
At this point, Qing Xuan sat up and said, "Gou Sheng, you're getting bolder. How dare you collude with the city guard for personal gain!"
Gou Sheng and the city guard were shocked and didn't know how to respond.
Qing Xuan stood up slowly and put on a pair of leather boots. After taking two steps, he said, "However, although you didn't follow the rules, that person didn't seem to follow the rules either. No matter what, the Nanhua Treasure Pavilion is under my management. Since he's a member of our Nanhua Immortal Sect, he shouldn't have come here to sell things. He didn't even tell us his identity. It's obvious that he set us up on purpose!"
Hearing this, Gou Sheng's eyes lit up. He said, "Yes, yes, yes. You're right. If he told us his identity, I wouldn't have dared to go against him even if I had a hundred times the courage! He did it on purpose, and he definitely didn't target us … "
"Alright, don't talk nonsense here. You have indeed made a mistake. Crippling your cultivation is also a punishment you deserve. I reckon that you have secretly hidden a lot of Immortal Stones all these years. Take them and buy a Revival Pill. Perhaps you will have a chance to recover your cultivation."
After Qing Xuan finished speaking, she waved at the two of them.
After the two bowed again and again, they went downstairs together and disappeared into the sea of people in the blink of an eye.
"I've been sleeping for almost 100,000 years. It's time for me to go out for a walk."
Qing Xuan murmured to herself. Then, she went downstairs and walked casually on the streets of Nanhua City.
Wherever Qing Xuan went, the pedestrians in front of her would automatically make way for her after being stunned for a moment. Then, they would stare at her back with the pedestrians on both sides of the street.
There were innumerable beautiful fairies in the Celestial World, and there were also innumerable beauties with good temperaments. However, there were really not many who would turn their heads one hundred percent like Qingxuan. This was not a problem of temperament or appearance, but the special and cold aura that she possessed. Furthermore, her desolation and loneliness were even more eye-catching.
Many pedestrians on the street followed Qing Xuan unconsciously. They didn't dare to get close to her, as if it was an honor to look at her from afar.
At this time, Xiao Lingyu was competing with the person who was secretly following him. He wasn't in a hurry at all. Instead, he was curious about who was following him, and what was their purpose?
After walking around for half a day, Xiao Lingyu unknowingly arrived at the center of the city.
Like most large cities in the Immortal World and Devil World, the City Lord's Mansion in Nanhua City was also located in the center of the city. It was also the most bustling place in the city. However, in front of the City Lord's Mansion was not a flat square. Instead, it was a garden with fake mountains, ponds, and countless low-grade but exceptionally beautiful flowers.
Stalls were prohibited in the garden. Moreover, there weren't many idle people in the Immortal World. Although Immortals were far more leisurely than Devil Dao cultivators, very few people would go sightseeing in such a deliberately decorated place. Therefore, there weren't many people in the garden. Compared to the bustling streets of the city, this place was much quieter.
Xiao Lingyu felt that the reason why he couldn't find the person who was following him was because there were too many people on the street. He couldn't distinguish them one by one. Therefore, he entered the garden.
As he walked around the forest, Xiao Lingyu could still sense that someone was following him. He always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him. However, he could only feel that the aura was locked on him. He still couldn't find the source of the aura.
After walking around for a while, Xiao Lingyu's patience was exhausted. He stood still and poured out his consciousness with all his might. He didn't want to cover a wide area. He only wanted to carefully observe everything around him.
