Eighteen years later.

Tianling Continent, Shenwu Empire, Linyuan City.

Tianxiang Tower.

On the third day of March, the spring breeze is warm and all things come back to life.

Li Zimo, the hero of this book, is in his youth. At the age of eighteen, he has a figure as tall as a pine tree and a handsome face.

He was dressed in an elegant blue shirt and walked lightly through the carved wooden door, slowly arriving at Room No. 1 on the fourth floor of Tianxiang Tower.

He gently adjusted his clothes, and with curiosity and yearning for beautiful things in his heart, he gently pushed open the door leading to the mysterious place.

However, this beauty was soon broken by an unexpected change.

Behind the door, a woman wearing cloud-patterned clothing and with a frosty expression—Leng Ruyan—was standing there quietly.

The moment Li Zimo stepped over the threshold, Leng Ruyan moved and attacked as fast as lightning.

She suddenly swung a punch, hitting Li Zimo's abdomen accurately, forcing him to bend over in pain, his face turning pale.

Then, Leng Ruyan stepped forward quickly like a hunting cheetah, pulled Li Zimo forward, and then pressed his cheek hard against the cold floor.

Her voice was deep and powerful, full of unquestionable majesty:

"Tell me, why did you trespass here?"

Leng Ruyan's voice was low, and every word seemed to contain irresistible power.

Li Zimo was pinned to the floor, unable to move. Feeling the other party's powerful aura, he quickly explained:

"Someone...someone gave me ten taels of silver and asked me to deliver a jade slip to this room. They also said that after I delivered the letter, a girl...would come to accompany me."

There was a hint of embarrassment and innocence in his words, trying to calm the woman's anger.

"Jade slips?"

Leng Ruyan asked coldly, with a sharp light in her eyes.

Li Zimo quickly reached into his arms and carefully took out the jade slip that was emitting a faint luster.

Leng Ruyan snatched the jade slip and began to examine it.

Just as she used her spiritual power to check the jade slip, a green smoke suddenly rose from the jade slip, lingering in the room, and the jade slip broke into several pieces.

Seeing this, Leng Ruyan quickly threw away the jade slip, then used her spiritual power to protect her whole body. She grabbed Li Zimo's waistband and threw him out of the window, then she jumped down as well.

Li Zimo was thrown from the fourth floor to the ground. He rolled on the ground in pain and gasped.

Fortunately, he also has the cultivation level of a first-level martial artist. If it were in his previous life, he would definitely be in danger of his life.

It's not too serious now, but it really hurts.

Leng Ruyan stepped forward and kicked Li Zimo, saying:

"Okay, stop going away. Where's that guy?"

Li Zimo could only stop and pointed at the alley beside him painfully and said:

"there!"

Hearing this, Leng Ruyan immediately turned around and faced the alley. Looking at the onlookers who were still pointing and talking without any tact, she unleashed her powerful spiritual power and shouted coldly:

"The Divine Guards are investigating the case, get out of the way!"

Hearing this, the crowd around her felt her powerful aura and immediately dispersed, leaving a wide open road.

Leng Ruyan snorted coldly, then used her martial arts skills, leaving a trail of afterimages behind, and then disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

Two young girls wearing the same cloud-patterned clothes suddenly appeared beside Li Zimo - Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu, standing on his left and right.

These people were obviously in the same group. Li Zimo couldn't leave even though he wanted to, so he could only stand up and stand there awkwardly.

After a while, Leng Ruyan came back alone again, apparently without any results. She stood beside Li Zimo and said coldly:

"Where's your jade identity token?"

Hearing this, Li Zimo hurriedly took out a jade token from his arms and handed it over.

After checking, Leng Ruyan found nothing wrong and asked Xiaoyu:

"Xiaoyu, have you seen this person?"

As he said this, he pointed at Li Zimo.

Xiaoyu hurriedly said respectfully:

"Your Excellency, I have seen him. Just now, this man was standing in front of Tianxiang Tower in a daze. A rather evil-looking man walked up to him, said something, and gave him something. Then he went into Tianxiang Tower."

Leng Ruyan heard this and said coldly:

"Search him."

"Yes, my lord!"

After saying that, Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu immediately controlled Li Zimo and began to grope his body with their hands.

Suddenly Li Zimo frowned and Xiaoyu's pretty face turned red, but she pretended nothing happened and moved her hand away to search somewhere else.

After a while, the two men finished the search.

Xiaoyu replied:

"Sir, nothing unusual was found."

"Ah."

After Leng Ruyan finished speaking, she threw the identity jade token to Li Zimo and said coldly:

"It's okay, you can go now!"

Li Zimo took the jade token, feeling a little angry, and asked:

"Sir, may I know your name?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zimo thought of the difference in strength and immediately regretted it.

Leng Ruyan looked at Li Zimo coldly and said disdainfully:

"What? You're still trying to get revenge? I'm Leng Ruyan, the commander of the Divine Martial Guard! Come on if you're brave enough!"

After saying that, he raised his beautiful eyebrows provocatively at Li Zimo.

Li Zimo immediately smiled awkwardly:

"Master Leng, you are joking. I just admire your reputation and asked this question."

Leng Ruyan looked at Li Zimo with disdain and said coldly:

"Since you don't dare, why don't you get out of here quickly."

Li Zimo immediately turned around with an apologetic smile and walked towards the martial arts academy, silently spouting a lot of golden sentences from his previous life.

This fickle woman told me to stay put one moment, and then turned her back on me the next moment and told me to get out. She was so heartless.

He thought to himself, Leng Ruyan, right? Just wait for me. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even a hundred years is not too late!

After all, Li Zimo had just traveled here a month ago and was new to the art of cultivation. The leader of the Divine Guards was not someone he could afford to offend at the moment.

As for going to the Martial Arts Academy, it is because today is the day when the Martial Arts Academy recruits new members.

He was originally on his way to the Martial Arts Academy, but when he passed by Tianxiang Tower, he was curious and stopped for a while. He never expected to encounter such a setback.

After Li Zimo's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Xiaoyu whispered to Leng Ruyan:

"Sir, in my opinion, Li Zimo's talent is mediocre. He is only a first-level martial artist. He should have nothing to do with the Evil Shadow Sect."

Leng Ruyan nodded slightly, a hint of recognition flashing in her eyes:

"You're absolutely right. The Evil Shadow Sect certainly won't accept such a mediocre person into their ranks. He'll be nothing more than an external spy at best. Send someone to secretly follow him and see if he contacts anyone."

"Yes, my lord."

After Xiaoyu responded, she quickly took out the jade slip and lightly touched it with her fingertips, and a string of information was transmitted.

After a while, some figures that were originally mixed in the crowd of onlookers seemed to disperse inadvertently, but in fact they followed Li Zimo's pace quietly.

Just as Leng Ruyan was about to take Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu away, a brilliant firework suddenly bloomed in the sky in the northeast corner of Linyuan City. It was the unique distress signal used by the Divine Martial Guards in an emergency.

The three people's faces instantly became solemn when they witnessed the sudden fireworks.

Leng Ruyan's eyes sternly said in a low voice:

"Oh no! They've lured the tiger away from the mountain. I'm afraid something has happened in the prison. Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, follow me!"

Before she finished her words, Leng Ruyan moved. She tapped her toes lightly, as if she had invisible wind wings, and stepped into the air towards the direction where the fireworks were rising.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu and Xiaoyu also hurriedly used their skills to run quickly on the ground, heading straight for the location of the Shenwu Guard Prison.
