342: They met Shi Linglong and several other girls!

Yaochi was in a very bad mood!

Just because after killing a few annoying flies, she was happily continuing to shop, but… she ran into a few inexplicable Young Masters.

She sensed the commotion in the city, but she didn't take it to heart, and she didn't even hide her whereabouts.

It was a rare outing for her, and she was in a good mood, just wanting to stroll more through the marketplaces of this Human Dynasty and taste some delicacies she had never encountered before.

Unfortunately, she didn't know how much trouble her appearance would bring her. The Young Masters in front of her were just like the three flies from before, even more brazen!

"Beauty, what's the point of shopping alone? Come with us brothers, what delicious food won't you get to eat?"

"These common street foods are not good for you. Why not come with us to the Guiyue Tower? You can choose any fine wine and delicacies you like."

Five or six young men, though appearing decent, each wore jade at their waist and were clad in splendid brocade.

Unfortunately, they were outwardly splendid but inwardly corrupt. Beneath their magnificent exteriors, in Yaochi's eyes, their Souls were already rotten, emitting a decaying smell.

A nameless surge of anger had already risen, and with a slight sigh in her heart, Yaochi knew that the little bit of beauty in her heart had vanished.

She, who did not live in such a low-level environment, was out of place in this world.

Just as Yaochi was about to act, a clear and domineering voice suddenly came from not far away.

"You guys scram! Otherwise, this Venerable Aunt won't just be breaking your arms and legs today!"

"Where did this troublesome ghost come from? Don't want to live... Hey, hey, hey! Help!"

One of the Young Masters turned around and cursed angrily, but just as he spoke, his entire body was directly lifted by one hand, and then his body was thrown into the air.

Under everyone's gaze, the Young Master was smashed against a large tree and hung there, neither up nor down, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, clearly on the verge of death.

"How dare you! Dare to lay hands on us? You… who are you!"

These Young Masters were considered influential figures in Taiyan City, but compared to the families of Yan City and Xu Bin from before, they were quite inferior.

However, it was enough for them to throw their weight around.

They had finally encountered an exquisite beauty and were flirting with her, yet someone dared to cross them. How could they tolerate this?

The miserable state of the first person did not scare them. Who among them didn't have a few attendants with them?

It was just that that fellow had rushed forward and ended up being the unlucky one.

Not far away, a fiery-figured young woman, clad in a purple tight-fitting outfit, with a greatsword even taller than herself strapped to her back, was striding towards them.

And behind this fiery-figured young woman, several other young women, equally beautiful and with excellent figures, followed.

Suddenly, there were four or five more beauties, which made the Young Masters all show a fervent expression.

Yaochi frowned slightly and chose not to act.

These suddenly appearing women all possessed considerable strength, especially the young woman leading the way with the greatsword. A familiar aura was faintly discernible on her.

How could there be an aura that felt familiar to her in such a backward Imperial Dynasty?

Yaochi suddenly became interested.

"You talk too much nonsense, and if your eyes aren't more honest, this Venerable Aunt will make sure you have two extra eye sockets for the rest of your life!"

"Scram!!"

Shi Linglong was utterly domineering, her words immediately vulgar, completely disregarding her image!

Of course, she wouldn't care about such mundane images either.

Shi Linglong had just returned to the Northern Wasteland from the Great Qi Imperial Dynasty not long ago. This time, she hadn't come back alone.

Ye Qingyu, Xu Muqing, and Xu Muyan had all left the Great Qi Imperial Dynasty with her.

One reason was to visit Dianxing Academy to find a path to pursue their own Martial Dao Realm. The second was to search for Shen Tianxing!

With Shi Linglong, the Devil King of Dianxing Academy, this was not a problem. The people of Dianxing Academy would definitely give her Face.

As for finding Shen Tianxing, that was not so urgent.

Although the Young Masters all had Cultivation, how could they withstand Shi Linglong's fierce Qi?

Looking at their half-dead companion still hanging from the tree, they unhesitatingly sold him out and turned to run.

"Miss, it's alright now. With me, Shi Linglong, here, those guys won't dare to come again!"

Shi Linglong approached Yaochi, saying in a bold and open manner, with a look that said, 'I've got your back.'

Ye Qingyu and the others had noticed Yaochi long ago; it was hard not to.

Simply because Yaochi's appearance was too outstanding; even though Ye Qingyu and the others had seen many beautiful people, when compared to Yaochi, few could match her.

She was like a fresh and refined green lotus, pure and untainted.

She carried a pure temperament, completely out of place with the vulgarity of the secular world.

Faced with such a young woman, how could they watch those Young Masters bother her?

This led to the scene where Shi Linglong heroically took action, quickly driving away that group of people.

"Thanks."

Yaochi was not good at socializing, and it was her first time encountering such a situation, her Face slightly flushing.

This was, of course, embarrassment, but she just didn't know how to communicate with them.

Shi Linglong smiled and said, "You're welcome. We just arrived here too, and you don't seem like a local. Come on, I'm treating today, let's eat something together!"

"I'm familiar with this Northern Wasteland, so if you have any questions, just ask me!"

Shi Linglong began to take charge.

However, she also had the confidence to say these words. The Northern Wasteland had always been Dianxing Academy's territory, and there was little she didn't know.

She was more than familiar with places like the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty.

Yaochi's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

She was here to find someone, and she wasn't too familiar with this desolate region. Now that she had the outgoing Shi Linglong, it wasn't impossible to inquire around.

"Alright, then thank you."

"That's more like it! Let's go, let's go! I know a restaurant here with good food, let's go try it!"

Shi Linglong led the way boldly. After Ye Qingyu and the other women greeted Yaochi, they all walked together.

At this moment, more and more soldiers began to patrol the city. Everyone's eyes were sharp, and every restaurant, teahouse, and inn was being inspected.

Many people didn't know what had happened.

Not long after Shi Linglong and Yaochi's group left, the soldiers arrived on this street. If they had been even half a moment later, they would likely have encountered these fellows.

Yaochi didn't know how much impact her actions had caused. The group had already arrived at a restaurant, ready to have a big meal first... On the streets of Taiyan City, more and more Cultivators from the Five City Military and Horse Division began strict patrols.

Every restaurant, inn, teahouse, and even shops frequented by women were thoroughly searched.

The message they received was to find a woman of unbelievable beauty. This characteristic was too obvious; once found, there would rarely be a mistake.

It was just that Taiyan City was very large, so the difficulty of the search would be relatively greater.

Cheng An had already collected the Ninth Prince's body. He had been standing on the street for a full half an hour, and the anger in his heart grew stronger.

The Ninth Prince's death could not be covered up; many people on this street had seen it. Once the matter reached the Emperor's ears, and if he hadn't found the killer, then Cheng An, as the City Lord, would no longer be fit for his position.

"City Lord, we found her!"

A soldier quickly ran over, saluting respectfully, with a hint of excitement on his Face.

Finding the killer would be a great achievement for him, enough to elevate him from the ranks of a mere soldier!

"Where is she! Take me there immediately!"

"Also, immediately send people to surround that place. This City Lord will dismember her!"

Cheng An was overjoyed. Heaven help him, he had finally found the killer. Although he still couldn't escape the blame for failing to protect the prince, at least he could save his life.

"Sir, they are in Yuxuan Tower!"

"Go!"

Yuxuan Tower was a famous restaurant in Taiyan City, attracting Cultivators and merchants from all over to stay there, and its reputation was very strong.

Cheng An naturally knew it. He quickly led a large group of experts and rushed towards Yuxuan Tower!

...In a private room on the second floor of Yuxuan Tower, by a window.

It was Yaochi's first time sitting down to eat with a group of strangers, and the feeling was quite novel. The most important thing was that these women left a good impression on her, at least much better than dealing with those annoying flies outside.

"Is this your first time in the Tianyan Dynasty? You seem to be all alone. Are you going to join relatives or friends?"

Shi Linglong held a chicken leg, eating and talking at the same time.

Her demeanor, compared to the women outside who were coy and reserved, appeared a few points more unrestrained.

However, for her, this was the most comfortable way to be!

What kind of ridiculous etiquette? She didn't like it.

Yaochi only sipped the wine, but she particularly enjoyed some of the exquisite small dishes, and couldn't help but pick at them a few more times.

Hearing Shi Linglong's words, Yaochi shook her head slightly and said, "I came here to find someone, not to seek refuge."

Few words, but clean and crisp, this was Yaochi's style.

She was commanded by her Clan Chief to find that fellow clansman who had cultivated the nine incarnations, and she didn't know the exact location, only able to search by sensing their aura.

"Where are you from? It's hard to find someone here alone; the Northern Wasteland is very big."

Ye Qingyu came from the Demon and Monster Division, so she couldn't help but feel a bit more worried about Yaochi.

Although the Human Dynasty was not as dangerous, it was not entirely without risk.

Demons, monsters, and Ghost Cultivators could all appear in the Human Dynasty. For Yaochi, a Loose Cultivator, to try and find someone without an address, to put it harshly, it would be difficult even to protect herself.

Just like the few scoundrels encountered on the street earlier, with her appearance, this would not be the end, but merely the beginning.

Yaochi shook her head slightly. She could only vaguely sense that aura; the specific location would require further searching to gradually pinpoint the direction.

"My home is very, very far from here."

The Northern Wasteland, in relation to her clan's location, was merely a Border Wilderness Region; calling it a remote corner would not be an exaggeration.

Without a teleportation array, even a Cultivator of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm would likely have no hope of reaching her location.

The Nine Great Forbidden Sea Regions... that was not a place where the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm could venture.

Even if she told Shi Linglong, they wouldn't know what kind of place it truly was.

Shi Linglong thought for a moment, and seeing that Yaochi didn't seem to want to talk about these things, she nodded and said, "It's alright, I'll help you figure it out!"

"It's rare that we met by chance today, so let's have a good meal, and we can talk about the rest later!"

Ye Qingyu, Xu Muyan, and Xu Muqing all nodded as well.

This woman, whose origin was unknown, was too serene and carried an ethereal aura. If they didn't help her, she might be devoured alive and still not find the person she was looking for.

Yaochi nodded slightly, but her chopsticks paused.

"They've found us."

Boom!!!

No sooner had she spoken than a violent roar came from outside, followed by the entire restaurant shaking. The wine glasses and tableware on the table all jumped, spilling a good deal of liquids.

"Who's here?"

Shi Linglong was utterly bewildered, but seeing Yaochi suddenly stand up and walk downstairs, she quickly grabbed the greatsword from the table and followed her down.

"We're going too!"

Ye Qingyu, Xu Muqing, and Xu Muyan naturally wouldn't stand by, following closely behind.

Yaochi walked downstairs. The main entrance was already a mess, and a powerful aura emanated from outside, enveloping the entire restaurant.

In the hall, the Cultivators and merchants who had been drinking were all silent, cowering in a corner, trembling with fear.

"Did you kill the Ninth Prince? This old man has searched long and hard for you. Do you want me to act, or will you come with me?"

Cheng An stood on the street outside the restaurant, with many experts behind him, each with formidable Cultivation!

Further outside, the soldiers of the Five City Military and Horse Division had already sealed off the entire area. The common people, merchants, and Cultivators who wanted to watch the show could only stand at a distance and observe.

Yaochi said nothing, stepping towards the main entrance.

She had seen such scenes too many times; being sought out after killing someone was not uncommon.

She had experienced it before.

Of course, she didn't care at all.

Everything was decided by strength. As long as she was strong enough, there was nothing she couldn't solve.

"Yaochi, I'll go with you!"

"Cheng An is a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm expert. With me here, he wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you!"

The moment Shi Linglong saw the display outside and Cheng An standing at the door, her heart sank.

Cheng An was the City Lord of Taiyan City, a Cultivator of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm. The fact that he came personally clearly meant significant trouble.

However, she would absolutely not let Yaochi be taken away for no reason. At worst, she would bring out Dianxing Academy behind her; no one in the Northern Wasteland would dare to disrespect Dianxing Academy!

Unless she had bad luck and ran into someone from the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, that would be another matter.

"It's alright, I can handle it myself. He can't do anything to me."

Yaochi appreciated Shi Linglong's kindness.

However, she didn't intend to let Shi Linglong and Ye Qingyu and the others act. Their strength... was too weak.
