第五卷 天云十二州 第一千二百二十二章 巧做安排

The shipment from the Lin Xuan Pavilion to the Setting Sun City was intercepted halfway, and the attackers were extremely ruthless. Five Core Formation Period elders died on the spot, while dozens of Foundation Establishment period cultivators suffered casualties as well. This was intolerable! However, the cultivation world was filled with bloodshed and violence; one had to have strength before seeking revenge. That Thousand Shadow Sect was a formidable force that could not be easily provoked. It boasted over ten Core Formation Period cultivators and maintained close ties with the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect. "Ten Thousand Buddha Sect?" Lin Xuan's brows twitched slightly. As they say, enemies don't gather unless they are destined to meet. This seemed to be fate itself at work. "Everyone step out; this matter is for me to discuss alone with Ying'er." Lin Xuan turned around and spoke in a calm tone.

All the cultivators present in the grand hall of the Lin Xuan Pavilion were high-ranking officials, but they showed no signs of dissatisfaction when following his instructions. How could they dare doubt an advanced Core Formation Period cultivator? They bowed respectfully and left one by one. "Young Master, do you really intend to engage in battle with the Thousand Shadow Sect?" Land Ying'er asked worriedly after everyone had left.

"Stupid girl, don't you know about my conflict with the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect? Can't we find a way out now that things have reached this point?" Lin Xuan crossed his arms behind his back and spoke calmly. "But...," Land Ying'er hesitated before finally opening her lips. "The other party is one of the seven major forces in Cloud Province, so directly confronting them would be too risky." "I agree, but I will temporarily entrust Sun Bear and the Corpse Demon to you." "Entrust me?" Land Ying'er was taken aback. Her eyes widened as she asked, "Do you mean...?"

"Correct. I will use a secret technique to make these monsters serve you for now," Lin Xuan replied.

He wasn't acting on impulse; he had carefully considered this. Although the protective array around the main hall cost a million crystals and could withstand an advanced Core Formation Period cultivator for several hours, Lin Xuan was still unsatisfied. Mo'er was here, and there was always a chance of danger. He needed to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

Thus, he left Sun Bear and the Corpse Demon behind to be controlled by Land Ying'er. If it wasn't an old monster from the Separation Formation Period coming personally, they should be fine. "Thank you, Young Master, but..."

Land Ying'er hesitated. Although she was now a powerful leader, her cultivation level was still at Core Formation, so controlling such monsters would be both exciting and nerve-wracking. "Can I handle it?" "Relax; the creatures have already sworn allegiance to me. With just a spell, you can control them without any issues," Lin Xuan said confidently. He then looked at her and said, "Ying'er, come here and stand in front of me."

"Understood." Land Ying'er nodded and walked three feet in front of him with a shy expression.

Lin Xuan didn't notice her expression as he reached out his hand to grasp hers. Then, he opened his mouth and emitted a green light. Blood flowed around the jade bowl, and Lin Xuan raised his left hand, drawing blood characters with it. After half an hour, "Ying'er, can you now control them at will?" Lin Xuan asked slowly.

"Thank you, Young Master for your support. I will ensure the safety of the main hall no matter what," Land Ying'er said respectfully. Using her divine sense to issue commands, both Sun Bear and the Corpse Demon obeyed without hesitation. She was delighted to be able to command a Core Formation Period cultivator, and her gratitude towards Lin Xuan was evident.

"Alright." Lin Xuan nodded in approval of her intelligence and diligence. He had indeed left Sun Bear and the Corpse Demon for Mo'er's safety. Seeing that she could control them without issue, he felt relieved. "Go back to the main hall and stay there. I will handle the Thousand Shadow Sect."

Before his words were fully spoken, a voice from behind interrupted him: "Young Master, please wait." "What is it? Do you have something else?" Lin Xuan was taken aback as he showed signs of surprise.

"Yes, but not me. Someone wants to see you," Land Ying'er said with a smile. "Someone wants to see me?" Lin Xuan frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, there were no familiar faces in Cloud Province. "Yes, Young Master, do you remember when we first arrived here and you ordered someone to bring Lady Wu Yun'er from Snow Tower City?"

"Are you talking about Yun'er?" Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit foolish for forgetting her.

Back then, upon arriving at Jiuling Mountain, he had instructed Mo'er to send someone to bring Wu Yun'er. Since Qinxin had already ascended to the Spirit Realm and left behind only this talented disciple, Lin Xuan couldn't ignore her. Moreover, Wu Yun'er was known for her sharp tongue and could flatter people effortlessly, making her a favorite among many.

With his deep-seated nature, he found himself feeling good after being flattered by her. Her talent also made her an excellent candidate as a disciple if he had the time. Although the Lin Xuan Pavilion didn't have any outstanding experts, it was highly efficient in handling tasks. Wu Yun'er was brought over soon after, but Lin Xuan was still in seclusion and instructed that she not be disturbed unless there were matters of life or death.

Hearing Land Ying'er's words now, he remembered everything. He should go see her; Mo'er must be worried sick without any news from Qinxin. Seeing his nod, a smile appeared on Land Ying'er's face. "Since Young Master has agreed, I will use the sound transmission talisman to summon Sister Wu."

Wu Yun'er was indeed a skilled flatterer, but she got along well with Lin Xuan and had become close friends over time.

Lin Xuan noticed the expression on Land Ying'er's face and smiled. In this situation, he naturally welcomed such developments. He waved his sleeve, extinguishing her firelight.
