Even with the continuous speed of the running horses, the journey to Yunshen City took around eight hours.

Throughout their journey, the three of them stayed rather quiet.

Yang Ze wasn't the type of person to talk first anyway. His greatest pleasure was watching the scenery around him. Sometimes they would cross a canyon, sometimes a forest and sometimes a swamp. He, who had always dreamt about exploring the world, couldn't have been happier after seeing such marvellous scenes.

On the other hand, Cang Yue didn't speak because she was still thinking about the feasibility of bringing her sister Lin Wan back to life. It has now turned into an obsession that she just couldn't let go.

As for Xiao Ruolan... she always had that expressionless look on her face. Though she would occasionally glance in the direction of Yang Ze, she wasn't too keen on having a conversation.

After almost eight hours, the three of them finally reached their destination.

"This..." Looking at the scene in front of him, Yang Ze couldn't help but inhale a mouthful of air.

It was hard to describe what he was seeing in words.

The entire city was situated in a valley. There were three small mountains behind the city, filled with dense vegetation.

The usual City Walls that were ever-present in every single town or city were absent in this place.

Instead of city walls, the entire city was surrounded by a large river that was almost ten meters wide.

There were numerous streams of water coming from the mountains behind the city, which merged with the river and the city... the city was constructed just beside those streams of water.

Due to insufficient land, the buildings in Yunshen City were rather tall and narrow.

As for roads... There weren't any.

There were just narrow walkways and numerous small bridges connecting the two buildings. Most of the transportation was done through the numerous boats constantly moving around the river.

Though it was evening, many of the buildings had already lit up the paper lanterns, illuminating the surroundings around them.

Even though they were still almost half a mile away, Yang Ze could hear the distant sound.

"Beautiful... Isn't it?" Cang Yue rested her chin on top of Yang Ze's head as she spoke in a soft voice.

"Umm..." Yang Ze just nodded in response. This was perhaps the most beautiful place that he had ever seen.

"Let's go." With a gentle chuckle, Cang Yue pushed the horse forward. "There are still many more things that you need to see."

"...." Xiao Ruolan just took a glance before tilting her head in confusion. She couldn't understand what was so good about this damned place that doesn't even have roads. But since the two of them liked it, she might as well pretend to like it as well.

"Take care of these horses." Arriving near the river, Cang Yue just handed a gold coin to a rough-looking woman before boarding the boat, followed by both Yang Ze and Xiao Ruolan.

Yang Ze saw with great interest as the rough woman took those horses to a young girl at a distance before handing them over to her, and then returned to the boat to ferry it across the river.

Soon, under Yang Ze's excited eyes, the boat began to slowly drift into the water.

Even in his past lives, the only time he ever boarded a boat was with his father, and that was one of his fondest memories.

Now that he was travelling through the boat once more, it was hard to understand just what his feelings were at the moment. Excitement, happiness... these were just the tip of the iceberg.

"Look at you." Looking at Yang Ze's excited face, Cang Yue couldn't help but shake her head with a smile. "What's so interesting about riding a boat?"

"....." Xiao Ruolan too glanced at Yang Ze, but unlike Cang Yue, she didn't make any remark. But her eyes flashed with a profound gleam as she quietly looked at Yang Ze, who looked like a child who had just found something exciting.

Yang Ze just turned a blind eye to Cang Yue's teasing. He just lowered his hand, touching the cold water in a daze.

The three of them, after riding the boat for a while, finally reached their destination.

"Sunlight Inn."

Looking at the long, narrow building that was almost five storeys tall, Yang Ze just admired its craftsmanship. It was completely made out of wood with exquisite carvings all over its body.

"Let's go." Cang Yue pulled him up before jumping on the ground.

The three of them then made their way inside and, after paying for a large room, made their way to the top floor under the meaningful gaze of the waiter.

Once inside their room, they finally had time to breathe. The past few days have been extremely taxing on them. From taking on the missions to completing two missions and then even fighting against Yang Ze...

Even with their strength, it was hard not to get tired.

Cang Yue just walked to the corner of the room where an exquisite bathtub was placed, separated by the room by just a thin paper wall.

Without wasting any time, she just took off her clothes, revealing her plump body underneath, before getting into the bath.

Unfortunately, due to the paper wall, no one was able to see such a soul-stirring scenery. Especially Yang Ze, who could hear the sound of water splashing but couldn't see anything. Making him feel like a thousand ants were crawling in his heart.

After Cang Yue was done bathing, it was Xiao Ruolan's turn. Who, too, without any hesitation, changed the water and then jumped in it.

----------------------------

While the three of them finally had a moment of leisure, a different scene was playing out in the opposite direction.

At the moment, Lin Yue was standing in front of her horse with a grim expression on her face. Behind her was the Ironhead Bull upon whose back a corpse was tied up.

And in front of her were three women standing with faces full of mockery.

"You little whore. Did you really think you would be able to escape us?" One of the women couldn't help but laugh before another woman chimed in.

"Say..." Her eyes glanced at Lin Yue from top to bottom.

"I almost couldn't recognise you because of all those clothes."

"You looked much better when you were naked."

"Hahahahahahaha."

"HAHAHAAHA"

The moment she finished speaking, a thunderous laughter erupted amidst the three women who were constantly pointing towards Lin Yue.

"What are the members of the Duality Sect doing here?" Ignoring their insults, Lin Yue asked with a frown. She just couldn't understand why she would suddenly come across these three in such a remote area.

"We?" One of the women pointed towards herself before a smile ran across her face. "Isn't it obvious?"

"We were waiting for you."

Her words sent a chill down Lin Yue's spine as she took a step back.

She wasn't expecting to be targeted by the Duality Sect... Wasn't there a six-month period during which these bastards wouldn't take action against her?

"Don't be afraid." One of the women clicked her tongue before adding further. "We aren't going to harm you."

"We never got a chance to fully appreciate the sight of Lin family's young lady's plump body kneeling on the ground naked."

"How about you show us how you kneeled on the ground naked in Duality Sect?"

"We will just recreate the scenes of that day."

Speaking till here, her voice turned a bit crazed.

"But instead of taking you to the Duality Sect, we will just take you to Yuyang City."

"I wonder how the people of the Yuyang City would react when they see the Young Lady of the Lin family crawling naked on the ground like a bitch in heat?"

Their undisguised mockery chilled Lin Yue's heart. And the more she listened to her, the angrier she got.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to control her anger, but the heaving of her breasts and her red eyes were enough to show just how monstrous the anger she was feeling was.

She could feel a nameless fire burning in her heart, threatening to burn all these wenches to death.

"What?" One of the women took a step forward with a sneer. "The young lady is getting angry?"

"Ooooh! I am so afraid." Another woman chimed in with mockery in her tone.

It took great effort for Lin Yue to control her anger. Gritting her teeth, she spoke in a cold voice.

"Leave."

"And I can pretend this never happened."

"Otherwise...."

She didn't complete her sentence, but the threat behind it was obvious.

Hell, if not for the fact that out of the three women in front of her, one was in the 2nd Vein Expansion realm and two in the 1st Vein Expansion realm, she might have attacked them at first sight.

But for now, she could only endure it.

She didn't know if these btiches had more reinforcement or if they were just waiting for her to make the first move. But whatever the case might be, she didn't want to engage with them. She just wanted to hand over the Ironhead Bull and the corpse of the red-clothed woman to complete her two missions before heading to Yunshen City to meet the other three.

"Otherwise, what?" One of the women just let out a sneer before rushing towards Lin Yue with a ferocious smile on her face.

"Let's just strip this bitch naked and drag her to Yuyang City like a dog."

"We will hang her up at the entrance so that the entire city can see what the Young Lady looks like under all those clothes and pride."

Her words successfully managed to anger Lin Yue, who finally took out the black ribbon with murderous rage.

"Since you are courting death, I will fulfil your wishes." Just because she didn't want to fight doesn't mean she was afraid. She just didn't want to have contact with the members of the Duality Sect before having sufficient strength.

Now that these three bitches have provoked her for no reason at all, one couldn't blame her for attacking them.

The moment she took out the ribbon, the remaining two members of the Duality Sect joined the fight.

The three of them didn't immediately attack Lin Yue but circled around her. Their every action was perfectly in sync with one another, as if they had practised it countless times before.

Lin Yue just held the black ribbon, waiting for them to make their first move and sure enough, the one behind her moved first.

She directly threw a punch towards the back of Lin Yue's head, but before she could even land the punch, Lin Yue managed to dodge it easily, before grabbed her leg by the ribbon.

And before she could react, she then flung the ribbon with all her might, smashing the woman on the stone underneath her.

*BANG

With the loud sound of bones cracking and flesh tearing, the figure of the woman went limp.

Though one could still see her breathing weakly, judging by her current condition, it was tough to say just how long she was going to last.

"THIRD SISTER."

"YOU BITCH."

The two women were obviously not expecting Lin Yue to use such a heavy attack. In the next instant, their eyes went red with anger as they both rushed towards Lin Yue. One of them was carrying a small knife, while the other a sharp hairpin.

"Hmph!" Lin Yue just snorted in response. She might not have been a member of any Sect, but she was, after all, the Young Lady of the Lin family.

The resources, the training, and the skills that she received since childhood weren't something that normal members of the sect could compare to.

Waving her black ribbon, she skillfully used it to rotate around her body in a circular motion.

Before the two women could understand what was going on, they only saw Lin Yue's figure disappear from her initial position.

"Not good," the woman at the 2nd Vein Expansion realm couldn't help but shout in terror. She couldn't even see where or how Lin Yue disappeared.

She hurriedly stopped in her footsteps, looking around nervously. But before she could find anything, she only felt a soft fabric touch on her face before her neck was twisted into one hundred and eighty degrees, before everything went dark.

The last member of the Duality Sect looked in terror as two of her fellow sisters were defeated so easily.

"Me..." She wanted to ask for forgiveness. She was even cursing herself and her Senior sister for being so hasty and kicking an iron plate. She wanted to run away and inform the sect... she wanted to...

But in the end, her thoughts froze for eternity as her body fell to the ground with her twisted head.

"Huff!" Lin Yue stood there in silence, breathing rapidly.

Even though it might have seemed simple, only she knew just how dangerous it was.

One small mistake, and her fate would have been unimaginable.

"Tch!" Standing in front of the last alive member of the Duality Sect, she spat on her face before using her left foot to crush her windpipe.

After making sure the three of them were dead, she turned around and was about to leave when she felt her heart beating irregularly.

"What the?" Before Lin Yue had time to think, she felt an endless hunger. Something so extreme that words weren't enough to describe it.

"Ugh!" Supporting herself with the help of the nearest tree, she bent down, clutching her heart.

Pain... Indescribable pain and hunger overwhelmed her senses.

And just when she thought she was about to lose consciousness, she smelled something sweet... something delicious...

Raising her head, she looked in the direction of the fragrance only to see the blood dripping out from the woman's mouth whose windpipe she had just crushed.

In a daze, Lin Yue raised her hand, and in that instant, the three bodies in front of her all trembled violently before three thick streams of blood seeped out from them, making their way towards Lin Yue's open mouth

*Gulp..... Gulp..... Gulp...

Mouthful after mouthful... Lin Yue couldn't remember how much she drank. And by the time her hunger and pain disappeared, the three women in front of her had turned into dried corpses.

Lin Yue stood there in a daze as her heart started beating irregularly once again, but this time, instead of hunger and pain, she felt her body strengthening at a rapid pace.

And it was at this time that she felt the bottleneck of the 3rd Vein Expansion realm loosen...
