I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

boom--

A powerful pressure suddenly erupted from the Thunder Turtle Clan expert, like a mountain suddenly collapsing, pointing directly at the Shadow Clan elder!

The latter groaned, his face turning deathly pale instantly, and he staggered, but quickly regained his balance.

"Insolence!" The Thunder Turtle Clan expert's voice was icy, carrying an undeniable authority. "The Shadow Clan has become far too arrogant these past few years. Who do you think you are? Do you think you're Wang Xuan? How dare you question this old man in public?"

"Unfortunately, your clan's King Xuan is long dead and his body is torn to pieces. His murderer lives in Xuan Shui City, but what can your Shadow Clan do? Avenge him? Do you dare?"

"!!!"

The Shadow Clan elder was both shocked and furious, trembling all over, and wanted to refute.

But he was ultimately unable to utter a single word.

He could only stare intently at the other person, his eyes gleaming in the shadows, their gaze unfathomable.

"Alright." The Grand Master of the Xuan Shui Clan spoke coldly, "This is the City Lord's Mansion of Xuan Shui City. If you have any grudges, find another place to fight."

The Thunder Turtle Clan expert snorted coldly and withdrew his oppressive aura, but he did not back down verbally. He only scoffed, "Speaking of fighting, I hope the Xuan Water Clan will repair the Cloud Dwelling Platforms damaged by each clan as soon as possible."

Da Zongzheng: "..."

She truly hadn't expected that the usually pretentious and patient Old Turtle would react like he'd swallowed a bomb today.

Whoever you catch will be criticized.

The atmosphere inside the hall became even more tense...

……

Ning Ruan, riding on the red sword, slowly flew back from the portal of the Eternal Domain.

It was already noon the next day.

Actually, she could have returned even faster.

But she wasn't in a hurry.

I'll be back at this time, just in time for lunch.

Eating is a very important matter and should not be taken lightly.

The food at Ling Shan Ge in Xuan Shui City is just so-so.

But other cities also have their own unique characteristics.

This time, she went to Thunder Turtle City.

Of course, the taste can't compare to that of her chef, Han.

But at least it doesn't affect the entrance.

It tastes much better than Ling Shan Ge's.

In particular, the braised dace is nurtured with spiritual energy, making it more tender and almost melt-in-your-mouth than ordinary dace.

After the meal, she used the teleportation array to return to Xuan Shui City.

First, I went to the Spirit Food Pavilion to retrieve another interdimensional teleportation array.

Then I went straight back to my residence.

"Ningruan".

A familiar voice came from the roof of the small courtyard.

Ning Ruan looked up.

She saw General Li and the human elder standing on her roof.

The weather was sunny today, and the sunlight cast a soft glow around the two of them.

The human powerhouse was still dressed in a simple robe, standing with his hands behind his back and a gentle smile on his face.

That smile became particularly forced when he saw Ning Ruan.

Li Mu didn't react much, just stood quietly to the side with a solemn expression.

Their eyes met.

Ning Ruan blinked and looked up at them: "Seniors, General Li, do you... like talking while standing on my roof?"

Human powerhouse: "..."

Li Mu: "..."

How should I put it?

Are they saying they've actually been standing here all night, since yesterday?

Wouldn't that just confirm their love for standing on rooftops...?

Li Mu pursed his lips and remained silent, his serious face revealing no emotion whatsoever.

The human expert chuckled softly, "So you went to the Lesser Remnant Realm?"

“Yes,” Ning Ruan said, “I’m going to collect the interdimensional teleportation array. This is the only one I have right now, so I have no choice but to collect it. It will be more convenient if I buy a few more later.”

"..." Buy several sets, then you can use one and throw the other away?

The human powerhouse's smile grew even more meaningful. "With your speed, you shouldn't have returned so late."

Ning Ruan unlocked the layers of restrictions set up at the entrance of the courtyard.

Just as the two people on the roof thought she was going to go in, she began to deactivate the formation.

One set after another.

Li Mu silently counted; there were five sets.

There are quite a few formations.

The human powerhouse's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and he uttered the words that Li Mu had in mind:

"It's just a temporary place to stay, but you've set up quite a few formations."

Ning Ruan had already opened the door and gone inside.

Standing in the courtyard, he began to deactivate the formation again, looking up as he did so, saying:

"Actually, it's not too bad. If it were my third senior brother, he would definitely have laid more than this."

Human powerhouse: "..." Is this the kind of thing that determines the fate of the human race these days?

He felt something stuck in his chest.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, I didn't know what to say.

Ning Ruan had already deactivated the formation and asked earnestly, "Senior and General Li, are you here to see me?"

"Do you want to get down?"

"If you're not prepared to come down, then I'll activate the formation."

Human powerhouse: "..."

Li Mu: "..."

The two silently fell from the roof.

In fact, when they arrived yesterday, they had already sensed that Ning Ruan's small courtyard was full of restrictions and hidden formations.

However, it's impossible for two people who are not skilled in formations to forcibly sense and test the exact number of sets, so naturally, they are unsure.

Now all that's left is gratitude.

Thankfully, I didn't try it rashly.

Try it out, and you'll soon be forced to passively face a bunch of formations that follow her.

It's not that I'm afraid of the potential for harm, it's just that this kind of thing is extremely undignified.

"Ning Ruan, you're back a little late."

The human powerhouse spoke again.

Ning Ruan blinked. "It's not too late, I still made it to lunch."

"..." I didn't care at all whether you had eaten lunch or not.

And you even have time to eat lunch out instead of going home.

Do you even know what else you're carrying?

The powerful human cultivator, striving to control his emotions, stopped beating around the bush and immediately set up a restriction, speaking directly:

"...How is that person...?"

"That one?" Ning Ruan slapped her forehead. "Oh, it's an immortal. He shouldn't be completely dead yet. Let me see."

Human powerhouse: "?" Dead?

Before he could ask.

Ning Ruan had already taken out the Crimson Lotus Immortal Artifact.

In an instant, the orange sword flew out, its blade embedded with a severed hand.

Pure sword intent was continuously spreading into the severed hand.

"..."

Li Mu, who was also a sword cultivator, stared wide-eyed. "What...what are you doing to him?"

Ning Ruan answered confidently, "Kill him, it's just a bit slow."

A strange light flashed in Li Mu's dark eyes, as if he had become interested. "This way you can kill him?"

Ning Ruan said, "Yes, an immortal's soul is still a soul, and in essence there is no difference. At most, it is more difficult to destroy than an ordinary soul."

"Fortunately, there weren't many souls hidden in this arm, and after being tormented for so many years, it's already considered easy to kill."

Li Mu pondered for a moment.

Then he raised his hand and summoned his natal flying sword, looking eager to try it out.

"Will my sword energy be effective against him?"

Ning Ruan said, "I think we can give it a try." Although General Li's sword was different from hers.

But with her sword suppressing them, their souls couldn't even escape.

General Li's sword energy is stronger than hers, so it might actually be useful.

Li Mu immediately said, "Then let's give it a try."
