Not to ntion, this Elder had cultivated a vast market for the unique spiritual herbs and cultivation materials of Divine Phoenix Peak. This had made Hongling the Fairy the wealthiest Chairman in the Qinglan Sect practically overnight. Moreover, on festive occasions, she never failed to present fine wines she had diligently collected from various places.
"Alright, now for the second question." Xiao Hongling looked directly at her beloved disciple. "Why didn't we go straight to Evil Wind Ridge to confront Niu Batian of the Evil Extre Sect, instead of coming to Nightfall Town first? Can you tell your Master your specific plan now?"
"I'm sorry, Master, but I can't reveal it just yet." Lin Xiao smiled mysteriously. "Your disciple has already stated my confidence in subduing the Evil Extre Sect in a single stroke. On this trip, Master, you just need to relax and enjoy the show; there's no need for you to intervene."
"Ah, I really don't understand."
Xiao Hongling stretched helplessly. "With your Master leading the charge, we could have annihilated the Evil Extre Sect directly. Why resort to such convoluted tactics?"
Although she wore a mask, concealing her true face, her tall, proud figure and graceful deanor—especially the glimpse of her slender, fair legs beneath her skirt—still drew the attention of countless bystanders.
Wow, if I could marry Master and bring her back to Earth in the future, what kind of sensation would that cause?
Lin Xiao indulged in the fantasy for a mont before clearing his throat. He said solemnly, "Master, you may not be aware, but the Demon Sect's current machinations are far from trivial. If we rely destroy the Evil Extre Sect, the Seven Great Demon Sects will remain, along with nurous second and third-rate demonic forces under their command. Furthermore, countless factions within the Righteous Path are re fence-sitters."
"Once war erupts between the Righteous and Demonic paths, our Qinglan Sect, as the leader of the Eastern Region's Righteous Path, will undoubtedly bear the brunt of the assault."
"As the saying goes, 'Two fists are no match for four hands.' In my view, it's better to subdue the Evil Extre Sect and use them as inside agents rather than simply destroying them."
His words were not re speculation.
In the original novel's plot, after the Evil Extre Sect captured Beacon City, Yuanyi, acting in the na of the Sky Yin Blood Demon, incited the other seven major Demon Sects and their subordinate factions to launch a full-scale assault on the Qinglan Sect.
anwhile, within the Righteous Path, the Qinglan Sect's prominent reputation over the past two centuries had bred jealousy. Apart from the Cihang Sword Sect and the Imasurable Buddha Sect, which reluctantly sent a few young Saintesses and Buddhist Sons as token support, the other righteous powers remained indifferent, content to watch from the sidelines.
Lin Xiao could never forget the brutal scenes from the novel where the Eight Great Demon Sects besieged the sect's gates.
Among the Five Sages, the Pen Saint and Chess Sage fell in battle, and the Music Sage was gravely wounded.
His three junior martial sisters each defended a different approach. However, aside from the remarkable Yingying, who controlled the sect's sacred beast, the White Hornless Dragon, to repel the Ghost Witch Sect from the Nanzhao Kingdom, both Youwei and Yurong were severely injured!
Among the Chairn of the Five Branches, Chisong defected to Yuanyi. Sect Leader True Master Ziyun, bound by ancestral decree, had to remain in the Shenxiao Palace.
Thus, Su i and Xiao Hongling were left alone to confront the masters of six great Demon Sects and the unsealed Sky Yin Blood Demon.
After Su i was accidentally injured by her own father, Su Tianqi, the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect, his Master, Xiao Hongling, then single-handedly unleashed her full power, battling dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, six Divine Transformation experts, and the ultimate antagonist, the Sky Yin Blood Demon!
By the ti Ye Chen appeared as a savior and, alongside Zhu Wanning, used the Twin Purple-Green Swords to drive back the Blood Demon, his beautiful Master was already covered in wounds, her aura critically weak.
Yet, she still stood defiantly at the sect gates, Luan Immortal Sword in hand, preventing any Demon Sect mbers from taking a single step further!
The Taiyin Sword Emperor, undefeated through nine reincarnations!
She had truly done it! But the mory was too heart-wrenching.
Therefore, upon realizing the tangible reality of this world, Lin Xiao had resolved that he would never allow his beloved Master or junior martial sisters to suffer even the slightest harm.
Furthermore, if his subsequent plans proceeded smoothly, they wouldn't even need to lift a finger!
"Very well, I suppose I shall trust you." Finally, after much deliberation, Xiao Hongling conceded, swayed by her beloved disciple's warm yet resolute gaze.
"But…" She arched a delicate eyebrow, her crimson lips pouting. "If you or Yingying face any real danger, then don't bla your Master for intervening and overturning all your plans."
"Hehe, no problem at all, Master. You truly care for us," Lin Xiao chuckled dryly.
"Eldest Senior Brother, look at other people's masks! If they're not gods or demons, they're at least imposing Primitive Great Demons that look so cool! Why are ours so ugly? There are no patterns at all, just a few circles…" Lu Yingying, who had just returned from a stroll, couldn't resist complaining.
"What do you know?" Lin Xiao patted her shoulder. "Eldest Senior Brother personally crafted these masks. The inspiration cos from mahjong, a ga from my hotown. They possess great artistic rit!" It was then that he noticed sothing.
"Hmm? Yingying, why are you wearing my Nine Circles tile mask?"
Under Lin Xiao's guidance, the master and her two disciples, all wearing masks, traversed two long streets paved with cobblestones, eventually arriving at the brightly lit and bustling night market.
Along the way, Lu Yingying bounced around excitedly, clamoring to buy this and that.
As for their beautiful Master, who was trying hard to appear mature, she too was excitedly observing the various folk curiosities.
Holding his Master's hand with his left and his junior martial sister's with his right, Lin Xiao felt utterly content.
This could be considered my first… date with Master, right? Albeit with a third wheel.
After a frenzied "shop 'til you drop" spree, the trio strolled towards the back alleys of the night market.
Here, the lights were noticeably dimr, and strains of seductive music drifted through the air, creating a sowhat decadent and intoxicating atmosphere.
"Hey, hey, hey! Handso over there, co and play!"
"My my, this uncle here looks like a generous one. Hurry over and let this woman check your body~"
"Master, feel free to instruct in any matter! My tail isn't just for scratching, you know~"
"Ha ha ha ha, don't be shy!"
...
The continuous, flirtatious laughter of won from ahead made Lin Xiao's blood surge, and his Formless Sword Body reacted, becoming… impressively robust.
He looked up to see a four or five-story building, lavishly and invitingly decorated—a veritable paradise of pleasure. In front of it, a group of scantily clad, heavily made-up won, flaunting long legs and deep cleavages, were beckoning to passersby!
Most strikingly, so of the voluptuous won even sported adorable rabbit ears and pert, animalistic tails!
They were clearly Semi-Monsters: individuals of human lineage who had inherited certain animalistic traits.
Gosh, the brothels in this otherworld are certainly… creative. Lin Xiao felt a stir in his heart.
"Master, we've arrived at our destination," he announced, stopping and adopting a serious expression.
"Hmm?" Xiao Hongling, who was idly playing with her Yo-Yo, looked up at his words and glanced ahead.
When she saw the group of scantily clad, overtly seductive won, her beautiful face beneath the mask instantly darkened.
Although inherently innocent, her frequent travels in search of fine wines ant she could imdiately guess what kind of establishnt this was!
"This is outrageous!" Her voice trembled with anger. "You rebellious disciple! How dare you bring your Master to a… a… a brothel!"
