Chapter 261: This woman is incredibly capable.
Because of the deaths that occurred at Yunxiang Tower, and not just one death, the tower has now been sealed off by the Liu family guards who arrived from afar. The Liu family has also sent a Nascent Soul stage elder to guard it.
That's because those two powerful figures who were fighting have now disappeared without a trace.
Otherwise, the Liu family wouldn't have dared to send anyone over.
In truth, they could only accept their bad luck. The other party was fighting on their own property, causing chaos and bloodshed, and the Liu family couldn't utter a single word because they weren't in a position to do so.
Next to Yunxianglou, there is also a small teahouse.
Jiang Lingyun and Su Jinxi sat quietly at the back of the teahouse. There were no other customers, and even the teahouse owner seemed to have been scared away.
Don't you have any healing medicine?
Jiang Lingyun looked at Su Jinxi, whose face was still pale. She knew that the residual force of the black-robed man was still in her body, recklessly impacting her internal organs and meridians.
The power of the tenth level of Mahayana Buddhism.
Having passed through ten levels of tribulation, she seemed unable to handle it.
"It's out of the way."
Su Jinxi glanced at her indifferently, then circulated her internal energy to regulate her breathing. Although she couldn't heal her remaining injuries on her own, Gu Heng would be back soon. Her master lacked nothing, not even spiritual medicine.
Every day, she takes a Grade 7 Qi-Strengthening and Blood-Coagulating Pill, which Gu Heng calls just an ordinary "sugar pill."
I haven't eaten today's portion yet.
"I ate it. This injury is nothing at all. The residual force from the tenth level of the Mahayana realm can be easily expelled from my body. Alright."
Jiang Lingyun raised an eyebrow.
"Let's get to the point. What do you want to talk about?"
Su Jinxi stared into Jiang Lingyun's eyes, trying to search her memory for any female sword cultivator she had ever seen before, but the conclusion she reached was that she had not.
She had almost never left the demon realm in her life, let alone met any human powerhouses. Moreover, as the chief elder of her tribe, she shouldn't have left her tribe's territory unless there was something important to do. From the very beginning, when Su Jinxi ended up in human territory and was found by Gu Heng, it was all by chance.
It's just that even occasional occurrences can be good or bad.
She's one of those people who's incredibly lucky.
"No rush, I have plenty of time. I just need to verify some things, but before that... I do have some questions for you."
Jiang Lingyun poured a cup of warm tea for both of them. "Tell me about it?"
Su Jinxi raised an eyebrow.
"Is your name Su Jinxi?" Jiang Lingyun asked casually.
"Ah."
Su Jinxi knew that her identity could not be hidden.
When she fought with that man in black robes, she not only revealed her demonic aura but also her cultivation level. She is a nine-lived demon cat and has reached the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, making her a powerful demon.
Even if the masked woman in front of her had to guess, she could have figured it out.
Among the Nine-Lives Demon Cat clan, only Su Jinxi has reached the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm; there are no others.
"I heard that you failed to pass the Mahayana Tribulation half a year ago and perished. The Nine-Lives Demon Cat tribe was in great mourning."
Jiang Lingyun took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Now you're here, in this small Sunflame Dynasty. I have to say, I'm very interested in your experiences."
Su Jinxi remained silent.
"Can you tell me?"
Jiang Lingyun's tone was extremely calm, as if she were chatting casually with her best friend.
But if someone who knows her well were here, they would find that the more indifferent and calm she appears, the more persistent she is deep down.
She is a person with a stubborn personality.
Of course, if she hadn't been so obsessed, she wouldn't have spent four or five hundred years neglecting her cultivation and staying in the Eastern Region every day just to find the whereabouts of her Great Elder, whose life tablet was shattered, regardless of life or death.
In other words, Jiang Lingyun essentially wasted hundreds of years of her life searching for someone.
To others, this behavior is truly foolish and shows a lack of understanding of the consequences.
But Jiang Lingyun is still the strongest person in the world, and no one dares to gossip about her.
"I don't lie."
Su Jinxi said slowly, "If you want to get something out of me, I'm afraid I can't cooperate."
She wasn't stupid; she wouldn't just casually tell her secrets to a stranger.
Not everyone in this world is trustworthy.
If the demon race were to entrust their trust to humans, it would take time.
What do you want in exchange?
Jiang Lingyun looked at her coldly, her gaze sharp.
She knew very well that the demon race were tough as nails, so she decided to promise them benefits.
"What I want, you can't give me," Su Jinxi sneered.
She evolved the most powerful and rarest fifth level of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat Clan, the "Jade Demon Body," and all of this was thanks to Gu Heng's rescue and assistance. Regardless of the background of the masked female cultivator in front of her, what she promised held no appeal for Su Jinxi.
There's no other reason than that Gu Heng gave too much, and gave too much too well.
Jiang Lingyun's eyes flickered, and she suddenly laughed, saying, "You wouldn't have gotten a master already, would you?"
"...What nonsense are you talking about?"
Su Jinxi frowned.
Jiang Lingyun, however, remained unhurried, as if she could see right through the female cat demon before her, and smiled faintly: "You're waiting for someone, aren't you?"
"Otherwise, why aren't you in a hurry to heal your injuries, and why do you even dare to talk to me face to face? To be honest, if you had just run away, it would have been within my expectations. But you didn't, which means you have the confidence to face me. But you're only at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Where does your confidence come from?"
"If you ask me, you have someone by your side who you believe is no less powerful than me, but if that's the case, your relationship with him is definitely not that of a comrade, because your strengths are completely unequal."
"Then, it can only be a master-servant relationship."
Jiang Lingyun's voice remained calm, but her words made Su Jinxi pause slightly. She looked up at Jiang Lingyun, but could only see the unfathomable, mysterious light in her eyes.
She was trembling slightly.
I didn't do anything at all just now; I was merely following this woman's lead to talk to her, so how did this happen...?
It exposed many secrets that Su Jinxi herself would never have told?
Strong, and with such a keen mind?
Who exactly is this woman?
That impressive? "Forget it, there's no point in talking about it if I keep you in suspense like this."
"Since you don't want to talk about it, then I'll talk about it first."
Jiang Lingyun put down her teacup.
“My name is Jiang Lingyun, but I’m afraid few people remember my real name nowadays. Most people call me ‘Ten Thousand Swords Saint Venerable’.”
"I have come here to find the causal bearers of the 'Zhouyin Destiny Star' and the 'Crimson Demon Destiny Star'."
“And you, Elder Su, I think you are one of them.”
