Chapter 79: Visitors from the Tianyin Sect

"Master, you've returned." Outside the Beijing Capital International Airport, Luo Yexi and the others looked at Lingyun with faces full of joy.

"Mm, you've worked hard during this time," Lingyun said.

Luo Yexi shook her head: "It wasn't hard."

Chen Jing glanced at them a few times, then spoke: "Lingyun, I still have things to do, I'll be leaving first."

After Chen Jing left, Lingyun and Luo Yexi returned to the rented apartment at the fastest possible speed.

"Ye Xi, tell me again about the matter you mentioned before." Lingyun's expression was very serious.

"Mm." Ye Xi nodded. "Those fellows from R Country don't seem to have given up. A while ago, they actually sent a female Ninja at the Mysterious Tier Mid-Stage, wanting to kidnap Alice to hold us hostage. But her biggest mistake was breaking in here; relying on the Array you set up at the time, we cut down this Ninja without outsiders knowing, though the Array was slightly damaged because of it."

"This group of R Country people really doesn't let one rest easy. As for the Array, I'll just repair it in a moment. What about the others?" Lingyun's brows furrowed slightly.

"Because you returned today, Saeko went out to the street to buy groceries, and Alice followed her. As for Lingqi, she has become quite sleepy during this time; a series of nightmares have left her very exhausted, so she is probably still sleeping now." Mentioning Lingqi, Luo Yexi also furrowed her brows slightly. Lingqi was also a great beauty, but now she was being tortured by nightmares time and again, which made her feel a bit unable to bear it.

"Ruoxi told me that Lingqi's personality is very dangerous, and this might have something to do with her life experiences." Lingyun looked at Lingqi, who was frowning on the bed, and sighed. "We'll deal with Lingqi's matter later; is there anything else?"

"This should be the most important thing. A while ago, a girl I didn't know came to find me, wanting me to join a sect called the Tianyin Sect. From what she said, the Tianyin Sect should be a hidden sect, and their strength shouldn't be weak," Luo Yexi said.

"Tianyin Sect, a hidden sect?" Lingyun muttered to himself. "These fellows are a bit troublesome."

"Master, how do you estimate the strength of the Tianyin Sect?" Luo Yexi asked.

Lingyun pondered for a moment and said: "If it is truly as she said, that the Tianyin Sect is a hidden sect, their strength naturally won't be weak. According to my estimation, there should be experts at the Innate Realm within this Tianyin Sect, which is a bit thorny."

"Experts at the Innate Realm? Master, you said before that the old monster in the Listening Heaven Tower was someone who had just entered the Innate Realm. In your estimation, how does the strength of the Listening Heaven Tower compare to this Tianyin Sect?" Luo Yexi asked with some interest.

"This is hard to compare. After all, the two sects are in different worlds. If one must compare them, I think the Listening Heaven Tower is slightly superior in terms of ordinary disciples. But in terms of top-tier experts, the Tianyin Sect might be able to crush the Listening Heaven Tower. After all, the Listening Heaven Tower only has one expert who has just entered the Innate Realm, while the Tianyin Sect might have old fellows who don't know how long they have been in the Innate Realm," Lingyun said.

"Just how strong is this Innate Realm? And how much of a gap is there between me and this realm?" Luo Yexi asked.

"The Heaven Tier among the four tiers of Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow is merely the Post-Heaven realm and still belongs to the category of mortals. The Innate Realm can communicate with the power between heaven and earth, greatly enhancing one's attack power; it is completely not the same level as Post-Heaven. It can be said that, under normal circumstances, Innate is an absolute crushing of Post-Heaven," Lingyun explained. "As for the gap between you and Innate, every three layers of the Nine Suns Heavenly Art is a threshold. Once you cultivate to the Fourth Layer, you will be Innate."

"The Fourth Layer, such a distant distance." Luo Yexi felt helpless. She had cultivated for so many years and only just reached the Second Layer. Calculating it this way, even with the help of Lingyun's Insight Crystal, it would probably take several decades.

"I'm back." The room door was opened, and Busujima Saeko walked in carrying a pile of things, with Alice in tow.

"Big brother." Seeing Lingyun, Alice pounced on him at once.

Busujima Saeko walked into the kitchen, put down the things she had just bought, and then walked to the sofa and sat down.

"What happened?" Looking at Busujima Saeko's slightly serious face, Lingyun asked.

"When I was coming back just now, I felt two groups of people watching this place. One side carried thick killing intent; it's probably that group of Ninjas again. The other group's aura was quite similar to Ye Xi's; they are likely Martial Artists," Busujima Saeko said.

"Martial Artists? Ninjas?" Lingyun raised his brows slightly. "These Ninjas should be the ones targeting you. As for the Martial Artists, they should be the people from the Tianyin Sect that Ye Xi mentioned. Saeko, how many of them are there, and what is their strength?"

"There are four in that group of Ninjas; the strongest should have already reached the Mysterious Tier Mid-Stage, and the rest are all Mysterious Tier Initial Stage. As for the Martial Artists, there are two of them; the leader's strength is at the Mysterious Tier Late Stage, and the other should be at the Huang Tier Late Stage." Having fully mastered the Shura Power within her body, Busujima Saeko's strength had logically entered the Earth Tier Initial Stage, so sensing a few people at the Mysterious Tier naturally posed no pressure.

"Bang, bang, bang," the sound of knocking on the door rang out.

"It's the people from the Tianyin Sect." Lingyun and the others exchanged glances; Alice obediently ran to Lingyun's side and sat down, and Busujima Saeko got up to open the door.

Entering from outside the door was a woman in pink, and behind her was a middle-aged man.

"Hello, classmate Yexi, we meet again." The woman in pink greeted Luo Yexi with a smile.

As for that middle-aged man, after entering the room, his gaze stared fixedly at Luo Yexi, directly ignoring everyone else.

Feeling the man's gaze, Luo Yexi's brows could not help but furrow. Lingyun raised his brows slightly, and the man felt a chill behind his back, withdrawing the gaze that had been fixed on Luo Yexi.

"Classmate Song Jie, is there something you want with me?" Luo Yexi asked.

Song Jie sat on the sofa with a familiar air and said to Luo Yexi with a smile: "Classmate Yexi, how have you considered the matter I mentioned before?"

Luo Yexi shook her head: "Sorry, I really am not interested in this kind of thing. Moreover, I don't want my personal freedom to be restricted."

"Is that so?" A trace of disappointment flashed in Song Jie's eyes. "Classmate Yexi, will you really not consider it again? This is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity."

Regarding Luo Yexi's refusal, Song Jie was quite surprised in her heart. In the previous few times, Luo Yexi had not explicitly refused; she thought it was because her worldview had been impacted and she couldn't make up her mind. She gave Luo Yexi a period of time to consider, just wanting her to calm down and think about this matter properly. But she believed that Luo Yexi would not refuse her good intentions; after all, in this world, no one would refuse the temptation of power.

Hearing Luo Yexi refuse Song Jie's invitation, a trace of imperceptible cold light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.
