26: Chapter 26: The rules only restrict those who are not the creators; Lin Kuang's life is in danger.

[Ding—Beauty Quest: Rescue Yu Xiaotang]

[Reward: 5 bottles of mengqing powder, Cultivation +250, and a Void-Breaking Ring]

250 cultivation points were just enough to let Lin Kuang enter the Peak of the First Heaven range (750–1000).

The Void-Breaking Ring is a Magic Treasure that allows one to instantly leave low-level Secret Realms.

"What? Something really happened! Aren't internal fights forbidden?" The thing Lin Kuang feared had occurred.

"However! Fortunately, I prepared in advance and left a mark on her Jade Slip."

Without a second word, Lin Kuang used a Speed Talisman and rushed toward Yu Xiaotang's location.

...

"Seriously! In such a large city, no one knows the use of the willow wood heart!" Yu Xiaotang grumbled, looking at the willow wood heart in her hand.

Something's wrong? Usually, this street is very lively at this time, but today it's abnormally quiet.

Yu Xiaotang swept with her Divine Sense, only to find the entire street shrouded in a mysterious aura, blocking Lin Kuang's Divine Sense.

Without a word, Yu Xiaotang immediately performed hand seals and chanted an incantation. Two white chains appeared in her hands. She pulled against the pillars on both sides and, like an arrow from a bow, flew dozens of yards away in an instant.

"Oh? Quite a quick reaction!" A surprised voice rang out. Then, from the street behind, a man in his twenties walked out, wearing a white python robe with a red gemstone pinned to his chest.

Looking at the fleeing Yu Xiaotang, he sneered and said, "Liu Jia, Liu Yi, you two go capture that female Cultivator and bring her to my manor later. Don't let her skin get damaged. Also, take that willow wood heart out separately; I need it for Alchemy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two phantoms slowly appeared. Liu Jia said in a low voice, "Young Lord, this might not be good. They are still inside the city, after all, and it breaks the Old Ancestor's rules..."

Young Master Liu Yun frowned slightly, staring in the direction Yu Xiaotang was fleeing, and said, "If my old man asks, just say that female Cultivator was my Dao Companion but was later led astray. I'm just disciplining them!"

After saying that, he lightly stamped his foot and flew toward Lin Kuang's direction.

Seeing the Young Lord move away, the two turned into phantoms and vanished without a trace.

[Combat Quest: Kill the Young Lord of Liuyun City, Young Master Liu Yun]

[Reward: Cultivation +500, Water Spirit Pill *2]

The Water Spirit Pill can form a protective shield, allowing normal movement in water for a day.

What's going on? The Young Lord of Liuyun City? Killing someone's successor on their own territory?

While Lin Kuang was still wondering why he was being asked to kill the Young Lord, five or six people suddenly sprang from the surrounding rooftops and shouted at him, "Liuyun City forbids high speed. Fellow Daoist, please stop."

Just as Lin Kuang was thinking about stopping to apologize, a thunder whip lashed out. With just one hit, the shelf behind Lin Kuang was shattered.

Holy crap! It seems if I don't kill him, he'll kill me! Sigh! Truly, whether in the Cultivation World or reality, beauties are always magnets for trouble.

Lin Kuang couldn't care less anymore and summoned the Fengxiao Sword.

"Hahaha! Flying is forbidden in Liuyun City! Die, you bastard!" Young Master Liu Yun flew over sitting on a gourd.

After hearing Young Master Liu Yun's words, Lin Kuang knew the other party wanted to silence him. He dropped all pretenses, immediately performed hand seals, and used the thunderclap sword to attack the Talismans on the lanterns while flying on his Fengxiao Sword.

"Quite a clever little bastard! Too bad, damaging the city's formations is a capital offense!" Young Master Liu Yun now had an even better reason to kill Lin Kuang.

With multiple buffs, Lin Kuang's speed was already three times its original.

The Liuyun City disciples blocking the way ahead all darkened their expressions. They tried to stop him but were sent flying one after another by Lin Kuang's Fengxiao Sword.

At this speed and mass, the only difference between Lin Kuang and a Dayun truck was that no one could apply crowd control to him.

With unstoppable momentum, Lin Kuang quickly caught up to Liu Jia and Liu Yi.

"Brother, this is bad! That kid caught up! What do we do?" Liu Yi said anxiously as he watched Lin Kuang about to crash into them from behind.

"The Young Lord wants that woman. Don't let her get away!"

"But he's that woman's Dao Companion!"

"Let's just do our job! How would he know..." Before Liu Jia could finish, Lin Kuang rammed them like a Dayun truck and sent them flying.

"Quick! Get on!" Lin Kuang shouted to Yu Xiaotang.

After Yu Xiaotang boarded Lin Kuang's Flying Sword, she noticed he was attacking the Talismans. She immediately helped attack the ones ahead. With her help, the Flying Sword's speed increased further.

After leaving Liuyun City, Lin Kuang kept flying east. Yu Xiaotang sat back-to-back with Lin Kuang, watching the situation behind them.

"Hey! Next time, can you at least hide your appearance? Someone will get bad ideas if you're this beautiful!" Lin Kuang said dissatisfiedly.

"None of your business!" Yu Xiaotang's status as a Young Miss made her very arrogant, and she remained stubborn even now.

"If you say that, I'll just throw you to them!" Lin Kuang threatened.

"Don't! I'd rather let you have me than him!" The tsundere Yu Xiaotang got slightly panicked when she heard Lin Kuang might abandon her, but her tone remained sharp.

"Alright! Is there any place suitable for a quiet execution? We need to finish them before they kill us!" Lin Kuang's expression darkened, and he spoke in a low voice.

Hearing this, Yu Xiaotang felt Lin Kuang had gone mad. How could he be so arrogant in someone else's territory? A Fourth Realm Cultivator could teleport ten miles in an instant and catch up in a few breaths.

"Are you crazy? He's the Young Lord of Liuyun City! Killing him means making an enemy of the entire Liuyun City!"

"You know him? Why didn't you say so?" Lin Kuang was furious. She hadn't mentioned such an important matter.

"I..." Yu Xiaotang lowered her head and stammered, "I'll tell you... later... They've caught up!"

Hundreds of Liu family disciples had already rushed forward. Suddenly, a magnificent streak of light spanned the sky, erupting with a powerful aura from behind the disciples chasing Lin Kuang and slashing straight at him.

It was a Flying Sword completely manifested from Qi. In that instant, the world lost its color, leaving only the giant sword surrounded by countless lightning orbs above Lin Kuang's head.

Lin Kuang's scalp tingled, while Yu Xiaotang cried out in despair, "It's over! It's an Earth-Grade Magic Treasure, and with his Early Stage second realm cultivation, I'm afraid we can't block it!"

Bzz-bzz—

The Five Thunder Vibration Drum sensed Lin Kuang's crisis and fed energy back into him, as if whispering: "Let's risk it all, I'll get you out!"

Golden crystals appeared on Lin Kuang's chest, instantly spreading across his body and finally surrounding Yu Xiaotang and the Fengxiao Sword beneath their feet.

At that moment, the giant sword crashed down. The ground rumbled as a fissure extending for miles appeared, with purple lightning roaring inside.

"Hahaha! You bitch! Refusing to submit to me means death!" Young Master Liu Yun laughed triumphantly, thinking he had hit them.

At the moment the giant sword fell, Lin Kuang completed a teleportation and was now a hundred yards away.

Seeing Lin Kuang's figure, Young Master Liu Yun's smile instantly froze. He steered his sword, preparing to kill Lin Kuang.

"Young Lord, please reconsider! It's not safe to leave Liuyun City!" Liu Jia and Liu Yi immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"Hmph! No one I want to kill has ever escaped!" Young Master Liu Yun clenched his right fist and said through gritted teeth, "Tell my father! I'm going out for a bit and will be back before dinner!"

With a burst of Qi, Young Master Liu Yun flew hundreds of yards away.

"Quick! Go report to the Old Ancestor!"
