Chapter 86: Disciples of Tianwai Island, on the Eve of the Lingerie-Sect's Collapse?

"Yes, yes, there are flights to Ningyue City in two days; I bought twenty-three tickets."

The guard found the register and immediately showed it to Jiang Xun.

A single Middle Grade Spirit Stone was truly too much for him.

"Ningyue City? That is where the Baiyun Sect is located. Does he want to defect to the Baiyun Sect?"

Yin Ningyu said upon seeing this.

"It looks like it." Jiang Xun nodded, returned the register to the guard, and then left with Yin Ningyu.

"But this method is a bit too crude; wouldn't it be very easy to find out?" Jiang Xun said, looking at the Tracking Butterfly to see if it still had any reaction.

"You mean this is a diversion?" Yin Ningyu frowned upon hearing this.

"Perhaps." Jiang Xun nodded, but saw the Tracking Butterfly flying further toward the north.

However, going any further north would mean leaving the city.

Jiang Xun chose not to follow any further: "Let's go back and capture Zhang Yuan's family."

"... This, isn't that a bit excessive?" Yin Ningyu hesitated.

"You won't think it's excessive when the Lingerie-Sect is surrounded by sect disciples," Jiang Xun said with a helpless smile.

"That's true..." Yin Ningyu could only nod upon hearing this.

"It's just to capture them and force that Zhang Yuan to show himself. If he is sensible, I won't touch his family. Let's go."

Jiang Xun said as he walked toward the direction of Zhang Yuan's home.

Yin Ningyu also nodded, retracted the Tracking Butterfly, and followed by Jiang Xun's side.

But Yin Ningyu was, after all, the former Sect Master of the Baihua Sect and a stunning beauty. Along the way, having such a great beauty follow Jiang Xun, an old man, attracted quite a few gazes.

Especially since this was Tianji City, everyone knew that the old man was the Hehuan Young Master, Jiang Xun, so whispers were inevitable.

"Who is that woman? She doesn't seem to be from the Lingerie-Sect, right?"

"Could she be a new disciple of the Lingerie-Sect? The disciples of this Lingerie-Sect are truly getting better looking one after another!"

"That dame doesn't look like the slutty type."

"Shh, that is the former Baihua Sect Sect Master, Yin Ningyu. Didn't you know that the Baihua Sect was merged into the Lingerie-Sect a few days ago?"

"Ah? Really?"

"Brother, tell us more!"

Listening to the whispers around them, Yin Ningyu clenched her fists.

Slutty?

Could this word have anything to do with her at all??

As expected, one's reputation turns bad after joining the Lingerie-Sect!

"Mom! Mom!"

From a pile of weeds at the corner, a filthy, stinking, ragged madman suddenly rushed out.

He ran toward Yin Ningyu, shouting "Mom" at the top of his lungs.

Yin Ningyu was so frightened that her face turned pale. Almost subconsciously, she swung her palm, and a gust of wind sent the man flying.

"Wuu!! Mom! Mom, don't you want me anymore!"

The man was sent flying, rolled on the ground several times, and then sat on the ground wailing loudly.

"Who is your mom!"

Yin Ningyu couldn't hold it back and shouted at the man.

Jiang Xun smiled helplessly at the sight; this was the one Gu Qing had turned into a madman back then. He didn't expect him to still be alive.

"Let's go quickly." Yin Ningyu then grabbed Jiang Xun and, without further ado, flew up with him, landing at the entrance of the Zhang Mansion.

"What's wrong? Don't like others calling you Mom?" Jiang Xun laughed after landing.

"..." Yin Ningyu rolled her eyes at Jiang Xun and said nothing. Thinking back to that scene just now still gave her goosebumps.

"Master." Hua Bairui saw the two return and quickly walked up: "Zhang Yuan has returned."

"Ah?" Yin Ningyu was stunned upon hearing this and forgot about the previous incident: "Then why didn't you capture him?"

"... Zhang Yuan is accompanied by people from Tianwai Island; it's not easy to make a move."

Hua Bairui pursed her lips.

Jiang Xun and Yin Ningyu both frowned upon hearing this.

Tianwai Island is the head of the Ten Great Sects.

It is also a sect that maintains order in the Immortal World.

Disciples of Tianwai Island are scattered, stationed in various cities, and accept commissions from all kinds of people.

Escorting, investigating, assassinating, and protecting are their four primary tasks.

Secondly, they collect information on the Demonic Sect in various cities. The largest Demonic Sect is the Tianwu Sect, but there are also many scattered small Demonic Sects and sects like the Lingerie-Sect that have no substantive proof of being demonic.

Another one of their tasks is to seize evidence against these Demonic Sects.

Now that this Zhang Yuan has invited disciples from Tianwai Island, he must have already told them about matters related to the Lingerie-Sect to obtain their protection.

"How many people from Tianwai Island came?"

Jiang Xun looked at Hua Bairui and asked.

"Two, one man and one woman. The man is at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, and the woman is at the Golden Core Mid Stage."

Hua Bairui said.

Their cultivation levels were not particularly strong; with Yin Ningyu here, they could be easily taken down.

But since someone is following to protect him, that is a stance taken by Tianwai Island.

If these two disciples were to meet with trouble, Tianwai Island would certainly come to settle the debt.

"If Tianwai Island intervenes, things will become difficult," Yin Ningyu said, looking at Jiang Xun with worry.

Even if the Lingerie-Sect and Baihua Sect merge now, and Ruo Lan is about to break through to the Integration Realm, all of this combined is still no match for Tianwai Island.

The reason Tianwai Island has been able to stand for so long is that its members are almost all children of great families, and even more so, children of royal and imperial clans.

In this world, ordinary cultivation families are greater than rogue cultivators, sects are greater than ordinary cultivation families, great families are greater than sects, royal clans are greater than sects, and imperial clans are greater than royal clans.

Imperial clans generally have Saints, which are powerful beings in the Great Vehicle Realm, presiding over them; they are either the Emperor or the Retired Emperor.

Royal clans are vassals to the Supreme, which are the only nine powerful beings in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm in the entire world.

To put it simply, provoking Tianwai Island is equivalent to provoking a certain Supreme.

Of course, this is only in the event that a disciple of Tianwai Island dies.

If they only took Zhang Yuan away, and it was discovered that it was done by people from the Lingerie-Sect, Tianwai Island would not investigate deeply; compensating with some good items to save face would also be acceptable.

"You few are from the Lingerie-Sect, right?"

Just as Jiang Xun was thinking, a long-haired youth holding a long-handled blade and dressed in white with gold trim walked out from the door and said coldly.

"This old man is Jiang Xun of the Lingerie-Sect," Jiang Xun said, bowing slightly to the youth; this was to give face to Tianwai Island.

"I am Ling Zhangyi of Tianwai Island. If you are here to take Zhang Yuan away, I am sorry, but you must deal with me first."

Ling Zhangyi looked at Jiang Xun, his long-handled blade twisting slightly, the edge pointed at Jiang Xun, filled with killing intent.

"We naturally would not fail to give face to Tianwai Island," Jiang Xun smiled. "It just so happens that I would like to go in and discuss with Fellow Daoist how you might abandon this mission."

"Since I have accepted this mission, there is no reason to abandon it," Ling Zhangyi shook his head. "And to be honest, the Lingerie-Sect... we have been watching you for a long time, just suffering from a lack of evidence. Now, if the Lingerie-Sect disbands on the spot, there is still room to save your lives."
