Chapter 115: Void Refinement Realm Isn't Exactly a Head of Cabbage

"I need to go back and cultivate."

After returning to the front of the small hut, Jiang Xun said while holding Yin Ningyu's hand.

"Are you feeling a sense of crisis?"

Yin Ningyu smiled upon hearing this.

"Yeah." Jiang Xun nodded: "The sects have been at peace for so long; I didn't expect a great war to be right before our eyes. I must hurry and restore my strength, otherwise, if I have to rely on you to protect me when the time comes, wouldn't I lose a lot of face?"

"So what if I protect you? Who dares to say you've lost face? Do they have a bodyguard like me?"

Yin Ningyu said with a proud expression.

"That's true, but it's not just to protect you all and the Lingerie-Sect; I also urgently want to become young again!"

Jiang Xun smiled: "By the way, this..." He then took out a Supreme Grade Void-Breaking Pill: "A Supreme Grade Void-Breaking Pill, you take this first."

"... How can you conjure up every kind of treasure?" Yin Ningyu looked at the Supreme Grade Void-Breaking Pill in Jiang Xun's hand with a look of astonishment.

"Pfft, didn't I fish this out of the Void Sect's treasury?" Jiang Xun waved his hand and smiled; whenever there was a scapegoat, pinning it on Jun Tianling was the right move: "I can't get you a Supreme Position for the time being, but you take this first. Once there's an opportunity, you must break through quickly."

"You keep it." Yin Ningyu shook her head: "My Master already prepared a Supreme Grade Void-Breaking Pill for me long ago. Isn't this also just waiting for a Supreme Position?"

"It was originally waiting for Master to come out of seclusion and capture a Void Refinement Realm cultivator for me to kill so I could break through to the Void Refinement Realm. Isn't it just that Master hasn't had the time to go yet?"

"I see." Jiang Xun nodded and took back the Void-Breaking Pill.

"Speaking of which, I see that you and my Master have a pretty good relationship. When you two went to the Tianwu Sect, could it be that..."

Yin Ningyu looked into Jiang Xun's eyes with a suspicious expression.

"No, don't you go thinking nonsense." Jiang Xun said immediately, without the slightest hesitation.

"Really?"

Yin Ningyu looked disbelieving.

"Really. That's your Master, Zhong Lingqing. You know what kind of person she is, don't you? Would she be willing to let me do anything to her?"

Jiang Xun nodded with a serious expression.

It was just seeing her naked, nothing else really happened at all.

And that was just an accident, too!

"That's true..."

Yin Ningyu nodded then; she was indeed quite clear about Zhong Lingqing's character.

When she wasn't angry, she was like an easygoing big sister and talked quite a lot; when she was angry... that was truly terrifying.

Moreover, given Zhong Lingqing's temperament, she shouldn't have any sort of relationship with Jiang Xun.

"What are you chatting about?"

Just at this moment, Zhong Lingqing descended from above and arrived beside Yin Ningyu and Jiang Xun.

Yin Ningyu, who had just finished doubting Zhong Lingqing, couldn't help but feel a bit guilty, her face turning slightly hot: "No, nothing!"

"Let's go, come with me." Zhong Lingqing noticed Yin Ningyu's flustered appearance but didn't say much, assuming she was just shy because she had been caught being intimate with Jiang Xun.

"Where are we going?" Yin Ningyu couldn't help but ask.

"Taking advantage of this time, I'll find a suitable Void Refinement Realm cultivator to help you break through to the Void Refinement Realm." Zhong Lingqing smiled.

"... The Void Refinement Realm isn't exactly a head of cabbage; you say you'll find one, and you'll find one?" Jiang Xun was somewhat speechless upon hearing this.

"Don't tell me that if I squat at the Lingerie-Sect, a Void Refinement Realm cultivator will be delivered to... uh..." Zhong Lingqing stopped mid-sentence, stunned for a moment.

Jiang Xun and Yin Ningyu were also stunned for a moment.

Then, the three of them said in unison: "Chen Mo!"

————

"Hiss..."

Inside Tianji City, Chen Mo sat before a tea table, goosebumps breaking out all over his body.

"Master, what is wrong with you?" Liu Chennian asked upon seeing this.

"... I feel a bit of a tingling sensation in my scalp, I don't know what's going on." Chen Mo shook his head and said.

"Were you angered by that group from the Lingerie-Sect? I said before we came that they must have already been in cahoots with the Tianwu Sect." Zhang Yaozhi said, sitting by the window.

"I just didn't expect them to refuse so decisively, not even giving room for discussion." Chen Mo sighed.

"Master, if the Lingerie-Sect and the Tianwu Sect join forces, it will be very troublesome, right?" Liu Chennian said worriedly.

"That goes without saying." Chen Mo nodded: "So we must return as soon as possible and tell the Sect Master about this Lingerie-Sect business, to see how the Sect Master decides."

"I have already bought tickets for the earliest flying ship, departing the morning after next... I didn't expect the Spirit Stones for teleporting to Tianji City to be so expensive; I didn't bring enough Spirit Stones on this trip."

Zhang Yaozhi said.

————

"No, are we really going to intercept and kill Chen Mo? Wouldn't that be too risky?"

Yin Ningyu looked at Jiang Xun and Zhong Lingqing and said.

"It depends on how they leave Lingxiao Mountain. If they use the teleportation array in Tianji City, then naturally there's no way, but if they take a flying ship, we can attack the entire ship midway. Who would know who did it?"

Jiang Xun said.

"And the others on the flying ship?"

Yin Ningyu asked.

"There must be collateral casualties; if we only kill Chen Mo, the target is too obvious." Zhong Lingqing said straightforwardly.

"Mm." Jiang Xun also nodded.

"Ah... but, they are very innocent, aren't they?" Yin Ningyu was stunned upon hearing this, then looked at Zhong Lingqing: "Master! You are adapting to this identity as a member of the Demonic Sect way too quickly!"

"Don't talk about me being a member of the Demonic Sect now; even if I were still the Sect Master of the Baihua Sect, I wouldn't want to let this opportunity pass. After all, such opportunities are rare. It's just that now, with the identity of someone from the Demonic Sect, doing such things feels a bit more justified."

Zhong Lingqing smiled.

"If they are truly taking a starship, we have two choices: one is to go on a killing spree and find some people to be buried with them, and the second is to make the entire starship disappear."

Jiang Xun held up two fingers and said.

"Disappear?" Zhong Lingqing asked in confusion.

"Yes." Jiang Xun nodded: "Everyone on the starship must be hidden away, for instance, locked up in the Lingerie-Sect Dungeon or something similar."

This was also out of consideration for Yin Ningyu; after all, she did not want so many innocent people to die just because she needed to break through to the Void Refinement Realm.

"Then it's settled!" With a suitable path forward, Yin Ningyu no longer hesitated and immediately nodded.

"Doing this carries risks. These people will have to be locked in a cell from now on. If they happen to escape or something else goes wrong, what was originally only the death of a portion of them will turn into everyone dying. Think it over yourself."

Zhong Lingqing looked at Yin Ningyu and said.

"Moreover, the starship is property of the Imperial Dynasty; doing this is inherently a very risky matter. Truly capturing them all and bringing them to the Lingerie-Sect is also a massive hidden danger."

"..." Upon hearing this, Yin Ningyu was also incomparably conflicted for a moment.

"You struggle with it for now; I will go inquire about their news."

Jiang Xun gently squeezed Yin Ningyu's palm, then walked to the side to send a message to the people at the Fairy Pavilion.

He told them to go investigate the news of Chen Mo and the others.

After about half a cup of tea's time, Yin Ningyu made up her mind: "I have decided! Let's just use the first method!"
