Even a non-drinker like Li Jing could tell that, let alone Li Lingyin herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But alas, Li Lingyin was having such a good time that Li Jing had no choice but to accompany her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingyin had dragged Li Jing into more than twenty shops, tasting the fine wines in each of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Li Lingyin was about to drag a certain person to the next shop, a streak of light suddenly shot across the sky and fell straight into the street in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, both of them came to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streak of light landed and dissipated, revealing a muscular tough-guy wearing a wolf-skin cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tough-guy smiled as he appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Li, you were quite hard to find.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the tough-guy, Li Lingyin chuckled, pulling Li Jing over and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wei Domain Master, you came at the right time. Let me introduce you. This is Li Jing, the leader of Chen Tang City, a newly established force in my Cangming Domain. He’s also an old friend of mine who I haven’t seen for a long time.

She was very personable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she had a lot of \"out of nowhere\" friends, most of them were ordinary people who would not even have the chance to speak to her normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningluo Domain Lord could see Li Jing’s cultivation level at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the Tenth Realm, and having a bone age over ten thousand years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this level of strength and age, he would be considered one of the worst in the Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He subconsciously assumed that this was another drinking buddy that Li Lingyin had befriended somewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hearing Li Lingyin’s introduction, Ningluo Domain Master couldn’t help looking at Li Jing more closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What old friend who hasn’t seen for many years, is not worth mentioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingyin had too many \"old friends\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So many that she herself couldn’t remember who she had befriended, and she wouldn’t even attempt to remember.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a portal master who ascended just today being referred to as an Immortal Lord by Li Lingyin, this warranted the Ningluo Domain Master’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man in front of him seemed to be a bit special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ningluo Domain Master was looking at Li Jing, Li Jing was also sizing him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing else really mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningluo Domain Master had a thick health bar above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Health bar limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>17886.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late-stage Twelfth Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind his health bar, another 2795586 essence source was displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The length of the health bar, the amount of essence source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, it isn’t important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s important is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a health bar means this strong man isn’t human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, a non-human alien species is a Domain Lord in the Eastern Immortal Domain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seems a bit inappropriate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eastern Immortal Domain can accept alien species, but essentially they are human territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The position of Domain Lord should not be taken by an alien species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Ningluo Domain Master...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could there be something wrong with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mulling over it, Li Jing’s brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningluo Domain Master looked him over for a while and then made his introductions with a formal bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wei Xiran.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him introduce himself, Li Jing, out of habit, gave a formal bow and salutation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Jing, the ascended cultivator from Blue Star, has seen the Ningluo Domain Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Immortal Lord Li doesn’t need to be so polite. Since you’re a friend of Master Li’s, you’re naturally also a friend of mine, we are all one of our own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Xiran spoke with a smile, and then continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s not bother with the pleasantries. Why don’t we head to the Domain Lord Mansion now? I’ve instructed my people to prepare the food and wine, so as to properly entertain you, Immortal Lord Li.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the words \"food and wine\", Li Lingyin’s eyes light up as if a switch had been flipped, instantly grabbing Li Jing on the side and enthusiastically said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are we waiting for?

Before he knew it, they had already arrived at the Domain Lord Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Xiran apparently knew Li Lingyin’s habits well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they landed, he arrived right after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a chuckle, he turned to the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make yourselves comfortable in the guest room. I happen to have some special spiritual items that pair well with wine. I will change my clothes quickly and give the instructions to the kitchen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, make it quick then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingyin casually responded, then dragged a certain someone through the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing, being dragged helplessly along and full of wry smiles, snuck a final glance at Wei Xiran who had yet to move from the Mansion entrance, and secretly relayed a question to Li Lingyin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you aware that Ningluo Domain Master isn’t human?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingyin stopped in her tracks and asked with a furrowed brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What nonsense are you speaking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Getting such a response, Li Jing couldn’t help but look back at the Mansion entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Xiran was no longer there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking his gaze, Li Jing turned back, recounting the story in a secret message to Li Lingyin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I possess a special ability that can distinguish alien species hiding among humans. Although I can’t specify which alien species exactly, as long as it isn’t human, save for a very small number of beings with special talents, no alien species can hide from me among a crowd.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingyin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that she remained silent, Li Jing sent another message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t believe me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving his message, Li Lingyin hesitated before using the secret message to reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not that I don’t believe you, I just find it hard to believe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, the flush from the alcohol on her delicate face gradually showing some clarity. She then sent another message to Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have known Ningluo Domain Master for a thousand years. He was already the Domain Lord of the Ningluo Domain when I first arrived in the Immortal Realm and he was always a human cultivator. You suddenly telling me he isn’t human, I find it hard to accept.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing grew silent upon hearing this, then sent another message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As an alien species, he’s able to hold the position of Domain Lord without anyone knowing, so he must be very good at hiding. But at the same time, there’s also the possibility that he was originally human but due to certain recent events, he changed and is now no longer ’original’.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Li Jing paused for a moment then continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it’s the former, perhaps we don’t need to worry too much. But if it’s the latter, I’m afraid this auction hosted by the Ningluo Domain Master may have a problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to this, Li Lingyin was speechless for a moment, then she relayed back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a serious matter, you had better not be lying to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that Li Lingyin ended up choosing to believe her fellow countryman. Li Jing replied lightly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regarding this matter, lying to you wouldn’t benefit me at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingyin didn’t respond but nodded thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two arrived in the guest room of the Domain Lord Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they were seated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingyin pulled out a new bottle of wine and drank several mouthfuls at once. Her fair face once again flushed with a slight blush from the intoxication, and she looked at Li Jing and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When Wei Xiran arrives, stay out of the way. I’ll make a move straight away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Action without investigating the situation of Wei Xiran first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this a bit too impulsive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, two figures of Domain Lord level have made their move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention this in the Domain Lord Mansion, if these two give free rein to their anger, perhaps the entire Beilang City would go up in flames as a result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While hesitating whether he should advise Li Lingyin not to be so impulsive and to probe the situation first, Wei Xiran suddenly appeared at the door of the guest chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry to have kept both of you waiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He strode into the room as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s heart pounded at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man came unusually quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was thinking about giving Li Lingyin a signal, implying her to calm down and act depending on circumstances, she suddenly reached into a small space on her collarbone where some spilled wine from her earlier drinking had collected, plucked it out with a finger and flicked it away casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What seemed to be a carefree act made Wei Xiran’s face undergo a subtle change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, he who had just stepped into the room withdraws at once as if those few flying drops of wine was going to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ordinary-looking wine wasn’t lethal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, from Li Jing’s perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The drops of wine failed to hit Wei Xiran and fell onto the ground, turning into a few ordinary stains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Xiran, who had retreated outside the door, looked extremely uneasy, and spoke out coldly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Li, what is the meaning of this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just want to see what’s hiding beneath this skin of yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingyin answered indifferently, picked up the gourd of wine and took a drink. A smile as enchanting as a flower bloomed on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to her words, Wei Xiran’s face changed repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her radiant smile, Wei Xiran’s expression became extremely solemn. He stepped back cautiously and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Li, our past years of friendship are laid bare in front of us. If this is a joke, it’s best if you stop, or else don’t blame me for not being polite....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish his sentence, Li Lingyin stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if she had crossed space itself, she appeared directly in front of Wei Xiran, raising her hand and pointing a finger at his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Wei Xiran’s face darkened. As he withdrew in haste, he cried out sharply,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is the protector of Beilang City!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overpowering auras surged up all over Beilang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingyin didn’t pursue when she missed her strike.

How could things change so quickly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, being the protectors of Beilang City, it was their duty to obey orders from the City King and the Ningluo Domain Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the two did not hesitate at all, answering in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Xiran raised his leg and stomped heavily on the ground, shooting into the sky like a cannonball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Lingyin raised her eyes to look at the sky, then turned to the two protectors who were waiting for her to make her move. She said indifferently,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you two dare to hurt him, I will take your lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two city protectors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically speaking, they, as the protectors of Beilang City, were not under the jurisdiction of Li Lingyin, and they didn’t even need to give her face, if necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the threat from a Domain Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless one was also a Domain Lord, who would dare ignore it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This statement made the two feeling a bit awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Li Lingyin didn’t care about that. She left that sentence behind and soared into the sky, chasing after Wei Xiran. In the blink of an eye, she entered the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the night sky where the moonlight seemed sparse, the clouds surged violently. An awe-inspiring aura of collision spread from the turbulent clouds above, shaking the entire Beilang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the collision of a Domain Lord’s aura, people in Beilang City looked up to the sky full of question marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could make sense of it,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than twenty city protectors soared up from all directions in Beilang City, charging into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing was still inside the guest chamber, unable to see the many city protectors rising into the sky throughout the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with his formidable Primordial Spirit perception, he could easily catch up with the twenty-six beings of the Eleventh realm, who had completely unleashed their aura, joining the power-play between Li Lingyin and Wei Xiran in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingyin would dare to take the initiative if she had absolute confidence in her abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this situation of twenty-seven against one was undoubtedly extremely unfavorable for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of the twenty-six city protectors only had reached the Eleventh realm, but with Wei Xiran, of the Twelveth realm, as the main force, she might find it very difficult to deal with these city protectors, falling into a disadvantageous position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there was definitely something wrong with Wei Xiran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly is he and what is his situation? No one can be certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Lingyin’s decision to fight without knowing her enemy can only be described as somewhat rash....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to help her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing made a decision in an instant, then turned his eyes towards the two city protectors standing outside the door, who didn’t know what to do for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing someone looking their way, the two people outside the door looked at each other, each handling a differently styled Immortal Tool Long Knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then one of them began to speak,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Li, we don’t understand the current situation very well, nor do we wish to be your enemy. However, we have the order of the Domain Lord. We must offend you this time.
