"Let's take out the incoming people first..." Wang Xiaoqiang stood up. He was now only a half-step away from the Void Returning State, and he estimated that one more Dual Cultivation and refining one more Nine-Turn Golden Core would enable him to return to the Void.

Wang Xiaoqiang and Lin Xianshu flew towards the Lin Family while discussing their strategy.

Lin Family.

Within a villa.

Two disciples from Guh Yuefeng and Mount Hua Sword Sect were seated on the sofa in the villa's living room.

Guh Yuefeng, ranking among the top three in this sect competition, at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage, was the disciple with the highest Cultivation Base among the younger generation of the Mount Hua Sword Sect. The other two disciples were pivotal figures within the sect, one named Muhua, and the other, Yang Tianming, both at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage.

Three Nascent Soul Initial Stages combined represented formidable strength, but for Wang Xiaoqiang now, they were just a trivial matter.

When Wang Xiaoqiang and Lin Xianshu entered the villa, Guh Yuefeng's gaze immediately fixed on him, his eyes narrowing to pinpoints. Although Wang Xiaoqiang had released five hundred Spiritual Springs to hide his strength, Guh Yuehua recognized Wang Xiaoqiang. Despite not having competed against Wang Xiaoqiang in the arena during the sect competition, he knew that Wang Xiaoqiang had won the championship and displayed Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivation Base, so how could he not know? Thus, upon seeing Wang Xiaoqiang, he was taken aback.

Guh Yuefeng, a man of meticulous thoughts, didn't even need to check Wang Xiaoqiang's Cultivation Base to confirm that the man before him was undoubtedly Wang Xiaoqiang, for he knew Wang Xiaoqiang could hide his strength. As for how he hid it, he didn't know, but the fact that Wang Xiaoqiang could be with Lin Xianshu made it certain – Lin Xianshu, such a person, did not even regard Li Taiyi's interests, and was extremely aloof. Only a miraculous person like Wang Xiaoqiang could gain her favor!

Li Guyue stood up because firstly, he did not know that Wang Xiaoqiang had killed Li Taiyi, and secondly, it was out of a sense of awe, and he greeted Wang Xiaoqiang with a fist clasp, "Daoist Friend Wang, I didn't expect to meet you again."

His tone was quite friendly.

The other two, not aware of Wang Xiaoqiang's identity, and considering themselves as senior members of Mount Hua Sword Sect, even older in rank than Li Guyue, did not stand up at this time, only giving Wang Xiaoqiang a cold glance, their eyes showing a hint of wariness.

"Gentlemen, what brings you here?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked Guh Yuefeng, looking nonchalant.

Guh Yuefeng said, "We are here by our master's orders, looking for Young Master Li Taiyi..."

Lin Xianshu immediately interjected, "Li Taiyi, we haven't seen him; we just went out for a while, and heard that they seemed to have encountered a conflict with the Evil Cultivator Black and White Demon Duo, but we didn't hear about the outcome..."

This explanation left the three somewhat skeptical, Guh Yuefeng's eyes sharpened, "Junior Sister Lin, is that true?"

"Absolutely true! You can go and inquire about it," Lin Xianshu replied calmly.

"Li Taiyi is my master's most beloved son, Junior Sister Lin, this is no matter to joke about..." Guh Yuefeng said gravely, his eyes fixed intently on Lin Xianshu's face.

"I'm well aware of that, as I am a member of the Mount Hua Sword Sect," Lin Xianshu replied, her expression and tone remarkably calm.

This calmness earned Wang Xiaoqiang's genuine admiration.

Yang Tianming suddenly intervened, "Lin Xianshu, why did you not heed the call of the sect, and stayed in the secular world on your own... "

Muhua took up the thread, demanding sharply, "Yes, Lin Xianshu, do you realize this is an act of great defiance?"

Seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang was merely at the Late Golden Core Stage, and considering him insignificant, their words lacked the politeness shown by Guh Yuefeng.

Without any fear, Lin Xianshu revealed a cold smile, "Why shouldn't I heed the call of the sect? Why don't you ask why Li Gufeng disregarded the fate of his disciples' families?... My staying in the secular world? Why should I stay in the secular world, when Evil Cultivators are oppressing my family, and the sect does nothing? As a Lin Family Member, if I do not take care of my own, all of my clan, young and old, would have been corpses by now... Now, do you understand?"

Muhua, Yang Tianming, and Guh Yuefeng, upon hearing this, all lowered their heads, their faces showing shame. They were more than clear about Lin Xianshu's situation, Li Taiyi's pursuit had been rejected by Lin Xianshu, naturally Li Gufeng did not look kindly upon her, so when her family faced troubles, Mount Hua Sword Sect did not lift a finger, which was inappropriate, as the sect had a duty to protect its disciples and their families. Otherwise, why would so many disciples from prestigious families forsake their prime years and comfortable lives to cultivate?

Everyone knew deep down that it was the fault of the Lis.

However, the three from Guh Yuefeng were no children; they wouldn't join the wrong side. Just because the Lis were at fault didn't mean they would side with Lin Xianshu. Guh Yuefeng approached Lin Xianshu with a fist clasp, "Junior Sister Lin, please come back with us to Mount Hua to explain this matter in person... We three are acting on orders, and we hope you won't make this difficult for us..."

Before Lin Xianshu could speak, Wang Xiaoqiang had angrily stepped forward, snorted coldly, and said, "Since Mount Hua Sword Sect does not protect its disciples, why should Lin Xianshu still obey the orders of Mount Hua Sword Sect? To tell you the truth, Lin Xianshu is now mine, Wang Xiaoqiang's woman, and she will not return with you to report back. If you persist in your delusions, then I will send you to the Western Heaven..."
