Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 176: Stubborn Fairy Ling, the Saintess of the Hehuan Sect

The long street was bustling with people and traffic flowing in an orderly manner, when suddenly the ground shook and the people were caught off guard and fell to the ground in the street.

"Young Marquis Yongchang is coming, all outsiders, get out of here!"

Roaring sounds came from the corner of the street, and what came into view were two enormous armored rhinos, each as big as a house. Every time their four legs landed, they left huge footprints on the ground, and the earth shook. Because of their fast speed and reckless rushing, the pedestrians on the street panicked and screamed one after another.

Behind the two armored rhinos was a luxurious carriage inlaid with gold, silver, jade and stones, with some kind of formation engraved on the outside. Even though it was moving very fast, the carriage was very stable.

"Huh...whose master is this? He has no manners..."

Xiao Que'er couldn't stand. She hugged Lu Zhan's thighs with both hands, frowning, looking at the two giant beasts, but she was not afraid. She bared her sharp little teeth, made a ferocious expression, and let out a "Ha..." from her mouth, demonstrating fiercely to the two armored rhinos.

Lu Zhan also frowned. There have always been many such "nobles" who rode horses to commit crimes in the Great Zhou. Perhaps no one dared to deal with them in Bian Jing, but this was not Bian Jing.

Seeing many people falling to the ground, he flipped his wrist, and tremendous force instantly dispersed, pressing towards the carriage from all directions.

"Roar!"

Sensing this momentum, the two ferocious armored rhinos stopped instantly and crawled on the ground like docile sheep.

“Hua La La—”

The two ferocious beasts stopped in an instant, and the inertia caught the carriage behind them off guard, causing it to crash into the beasts and roll to the side.

Just as he was about to overturn in public, the young marquis's guards immediately swooped over and dragged him down.

"Hehe..." Xiao Que'er smiled happily when she saw this scene, and whispered, "Look how awesome I am, don't you think? I even scared the ferocious bull."

"Well... you are the best." Lu Zhan touched the girl's head. She rubbed it with her eyes narrowed in enjoyment and felt happy.

The people around were watching this scene and were very happy in their hearts, but they did not dare to show it on their faces.

An angry voice came from the carriage: "Who? How dare you attack the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion?!"

"Young Marquis, I can't detect who is attacking..." the guard next to him answered in a low voice, looking around vigilantly.

The force came from all directions, and there were many cultivators around. They couldn't take all the cultivators back for interrogation, as that would incur public anger.

The young marquis was furious: "You are so bold! Bring them all back to me!"

As the only son of the Yongchang Marquisate, the young marquis was used to being arrogant and domineering. He would restrain himself a little when he was in Bian Jing, but now that the emperor is far away, his true nature is exposed.

Just one sentence, "Take everyone back", what a great official authority.

Lu Zhan said nothing, and his true energy swept even more violently, like a raging storm, instantly causing the guards carrying the carriage to kneel on the ground. The luxurious carriage swayed and flipped over.

"what!!!"

Two screams were heard from the carriage.

The young marquis was naturally also a cultivator, but at this moment he was suppressed by the mighty power. He did not even have the chance to resist and was thrown out of the carriage abruptly. Along with him, an extremely charming figure was also thrown out.

The arrogant young marquis just now, seeing that even his own guards in the Mysterious Realm knelt on the ground, was already timid, his voice trembling: "Who... I am the young marquis of Yongchang Marquis's Mansion! My father is..."

"Snapped-"

Before the young marquis could finish his words, a huge force hit him and blew him away. He spit out a mouthful of blood and flew seven or eight meters away before landing heavily on the ground.

The guards of the Marquis's Mansion, who had been showing off their might just now, were all horrified when they saw this scene.

The other party even dared to humiliate the young marquis like this, how bold!

The enchanting figure turned around tremblingly and shouted, "Young Marquis!"

The moment they saw this woman, the eyes of the people around them suddenly fixed.

The woman was wearing a milky white long dress with a front opening. Her slender legs were faintly visible through the layers of clothes. The lotus on her chest could no longer bear the weight. As the woman walked tremblingly, the lotus seemed to be severely broken by the waves, and most of the jade rabbit floated to the surface of the water, revealing itself.

But her waist is so thin that people are worried whether she can support the weight.

That face was not stunningly beautiful, but she was quite pretty. She was wearing some cool clothes and was very eye-catching.

Female Bodhisattvas like this are rare in the Great Zhou Dynasty. She is indeed an awe-inspiring beauty.

"Om-"

And at the moment when Lu Zhan saw the woman, the laurel bell he placed in the spirit ring moved, and the ghost contained inside seemed to be moving strangely.

Lu Zhan slowly turned the spirit ring with his fingers, and the ghost became much more obedient.

There were whispers all around. This incident was caused by the young marquis letting the "bull" commit crimes and being arrogant and domineering, which naturally aroused public anger. However, no one dared to offend him before. But now someone is doing justice for the people, which naturally makes people happy.

"Who did it? Well done... Isn't this young marquis too arrogant? This is Yunshui Town, not Bianjing!"

"So what if it's Bian Jing? If you offend a powerful cultivator, you will still be punished."

"But who did it?"

"No matter who did it, it's fun to watch... Tsk tsk tsk, his face is swollen like a pig's head. Let's see if he can still be so arrogant in the future."

"Who is that girl? She is so seductive and dressed so casually. Is it possible that the happiness of the rich and powerful is so simple?"

"..."

The whispering sound made the young marquis feel hot on his face. Although he had just boasted that he would capture everyone back, he didn't dare to really do that even in Bian Jing.

But he had never suffered such humiliation since he was born. He covered his chest and felt that his internal organs were shaken by the true Qi and were in unbearable pain.

The young marquis spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and was about to cry. The feeling of being bullied was really uncomfortable, and he didn't even know who was beating him!

Suddenly, a few wisps of true energy came from the air, and the cowardly young marquis seemed to have seen a savior, and hurriedly shouted: "Fairy, help me!"

There were sleeves fluttering in the air. It turned out that they were a few Yunshui Sect practitioners passing by, and now they were slowly descending.

Yunshui Town was under the protection of the Yunshui Sect, and when the people saw the people from the Yunshui Sect coming, they shut up and stopped talking.

Lu Zhan smiled and saw a woman in white standing among several female cultivators with fluttering sleeves.

The woman's long black hair fluttered in the wind. Her beautiful and delicate oval face was covered by a white veil, revealing only a pair of cold black pupils.

Her slender waist can be held in one hand, and her long and beautiful legs are better than many female cultivators. Even when she is standing in the crowd, she still can't hide her cool and unparalleled temperament.

"Isn't that Miss Lin? Why is she wearing a veil..."

Xiao Queer recognized the other person's identity at a glance and exclaimed softly.

Perhaps it was because Lu Zhan's gaze was too direct, Ling Jiaoyue, who had just arrived, noticed it instantly. She saw Lu Zhan in the crowd at a glance.

The young man was tall and slender, still as handsome as ever, and his clear eyes were looking at her with a smile, as if he was silently greeting her.

Ling Jiaoyue couldn't help but think of the scene of herself taking off all her clothes and Lu Zhan healing her wounds.

She bit her red lips lightly, and her cheeks hidden under the veil also flushed, but her eyes refused to give in. She stared at Lu Zhan stubbornly for a moment before turning her head away.

Seeing her like this, Lu Zhan smiled even more. Fairy Ling always looked stubborn and cold no matter where she was or when, which was quite charming.

"Fairy, save me!"

The young marquis staggered to his feet: "Someone wants to kill me!"

Ling Jiaoyue glared at Lu Zhan again before retracting her gaze and looking coldly at the young marquis. Another female cultivator had already found out the news and whispered it to Ling Jiaoyue.

Ling Jiaoyue's eyes became more and more disgusted. She didn't like this young marquis in the first place, but as soon as he arrived here, he went to visit the Yunshui Sect. His father also had some friendship with the Yunshui Sect. Now that he was shouting loudly, it was naturally difficult for the disciples of the Yunshui Sect to pretend not to see it.

However, even if I came here, it was not to help him, but just to reason with him.

Ling Jiaoyue said coldly: "Young Marquis, you bully others by taking advantage of your power, disregarding the lives of the common people, and crossing the streets with wild beasts. This is wrong in the first place. Do you want us, the Yunshui Sect, to help you bully others by taking advantage of your power?"

After saying this, Ling Jiaoyue turned and left.

She is the youngest among this group of female cultivators, but her words carry the most weight.

After she left, several other female cultivators also left. However, before leaving, an older female cultivator looked at the young marquis with disdain, and said with a mocking tone: "The young marquis felt like he was dying after being slapped, what about the people who were injured by your wild beasts? You should be thankful that you are the young marquis, otherwise you would have died without a burial place."

The Yunshui Sect does not buy into this kind of second-generation rich kid, they just interact with him because of the relationship between their ancestors.

The female cultivators came and left quickly. The young marquis looked at their backs with a look of disbelief on his face.

What do you mean he was just slapped? Can't you see how hard the slap was? He even had internal injuries!

"My father is the Marquis of Yongchang... My grandfather is worthy of being enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"

The young marquis was extremely angry and felt deeply humiliated, but he dared not say anything more and could only leave in disgrace.

But the swollen face and internal injuries will take at least ten days or half a month to recover.

Lu Zhan also turned around and left. Yunshui Town was indeed lively, so he decided to stay in Yunshui Town for one night and found an inn and booked a room.

...

After entering the room, Xiao Queer rolled around on the bed and played by himself.

Lu Zhan took out the laurel bell.

A puff of black smoke emanated from the laurel bells, condensing into the shape of Ramadan.

"Do you know that woman?"

When the female Bodhisattva appeared just now, Lu Zhan felt Ramadhan's reaction.

Ramadan stood with his head bowed and said respectfully: "That is my senior sister Yan Rou."

No wonder her temperament is so charming, it turns out that she is a cultivator from the Hehuan Sect. That’s not surprising, after all, everyone has their own expertise.

Lu Zhan looked at her with a half-smile: "The Hehuan Sect's business development is quite extensive. They can even hook up with the young marquis."

After becoming a ghost, Ramadhan's emotions did not fluctuate significantly. She said, "The Hehuan Sect has its own connections with the forces in the court. Yan Rou is doing this probably to get the young marquis to help her find the bloodline of the Saint."

In the past, Ramadhan would not have revealed these secrets, but as a ghost, she only obeyed the orders of her master, and she had no room to resist.

Instead of struggling in vain, it is better to tell everything.

"Saint?"

Lu Zhan was somewhat interested. He had never asked Ramadan about the Hehuan Sect before. It was not because he did not want to ask, but when the ghosts were being sacrificed, their minds were confused by the nourishment of blood and qi, and their consciousness was not clear.

After the ritual was successful, he came to the East China Sea, and after a while he forgot about it.

Until I met that female Bodhisattva.

Ramadan lowered his eyes and answered honestly:

"According to the rules of our Hehuan sect, all matters are decided by the Saint and the four elders. Unfortunately, after the death of the previous Saint, there is no one to be the new Saint for the time being."

"Just when we were leaderless, the personal maid of the previous Saint said that more than ten years ago, the Saint fell in love with a man and gave birth to a daughter."

"The Saint of the Hehuan Sect is not allowed to have a love affair with her son or daughter. In order to avoid exposure, the child was taken away by the man. Although we are angry about this, perhaps the Saint's bloodline can be recognized by the founder and she can become the new Saint."

"We came out of the mountains to find the Saint's bloodline, but unfortunately the man's family was destroyed long ago, and the Saint's bloodline is nowhere to be found."

Lu Zhan found these words even more ridiculous.

The martial arts practiced by the Hehuan Sect are not orthodox, but they still want to find a "saint".

As if seeing Lu Zhan's confusion, Zhai Yue explained, "The duties of a Saint Maiden were set by the founder. Together with the elders, she leads the entire Hehuan Sect, and no one can change that. Although the path of cultivation has changed in recent years, the Saint Maiden is indispensable. Only by passing the verification left by the founder can one become a Saint Maiden."

"What are the requirements to become a saint?"

"Holy body."

Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows: "Are you serious?"

Zhai Yue looked unhappy. "It is true that our founder, Fairy Yue Gong, practiced magic, but she did not have sexual relations with men and women. The change in the He Huan sect's ethos was also due to the death of the founder... We just took a different path later, but the He Huan sect still respects the founder."

Lu Zhan had heard of this.

It is said that the founder of the Hehuan Sect called herself the Moon Palace Fairy, also known as the "Moon Palace Saint".

Although she was a beauty who could captivate all men, she did not focus on dual cultivation. At that time, the Hehuan Sect was not yet called the Hehuan Sect. All the female practitioners in it maintained their chastity. They were famous in the martial arts world and were absolute beauties and witches.

But after the death of the Moon Palace Fairy, the Hehuan Sect suddenly changed its direction.

From being a well-known "witch beauty" in the world, she became a "dual cultivation beauty".

Over time, everyone's impression of the Hehuan Sect has become what it is today, but that doesn't mean the Hehuan Sect was like this in the beginning.

"What are the signs of the Saint's bloodline?"

Ramadan looked up: "What do you want to do?"

"Just asking." Lu Zhan looked at the ghost in front of him coldly: "Besides, even if I want to do something, it has nothing to do with you. Only by putting yourself in the right position can you suffer less."

Ramadan was silent for a moment, and then he said after a long while: "The previous saint was attacked by someone while practicing, and suffered from the pain of being burned by flames. Although she escaped, her body was left with problems. Every time she got sick, it was like burning by fire, and she needed to be in the glacier to suppress it. Her daughter is of the same lineage as her, so she should also have some of these problems."

“I see…” Lu Zhan asked a few more questions, but got some meaningless answers. He then put the ghost back into the laurel bell and turned to look out the window.

The farce caused by the young marquis has now disappeared. Outside the window is the beautiful evening scenery, with rosy clouds in the sky and a warm breeze blowing.

Lu Zhan stood there indifferently for a while, then turned around, spread out his writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to draw the talisman.

Drawing talismans is a delicate job, and Lu Zhan is not very experienced, so he draws very carefully. Time flies by unknowingly while he is drawing, and in the blink of an eye it is already three o'clock in the morning.

Suddenly, a wave of true energy was felt. Lu Zhan looked up and saw a figure in white standing on the tree outside the window.

The man said nothing, just glanced at him and flew away to the suburbs.

Lu Zhan laughed helplessly, put down the talisman pen, and followed him out.
