After receiving the notification, the Empress and Helan Jing soon appeared in the Imperial Study.

Upon seeing Lin Jingyi and Helan Xu, the Empress's tears began to fall in droves.

After ten years apart, the family reunited, and a round of warm greetings and concern was inevitable.

After Lin Jingyi introduced Xuan Jiu to Helan Di and the other two, he said:

"Father, Mother, I sensed that the communication talisman has been crushed. What happened?"

Lin Jing also knew that Helan Di would not crush the communication talisman unless absolutely necessary. If he did use it, it meant that things had developed to a point beyond his control.

Helandi sighed deeply.

"In the year since you left, the people have lived in peace and prosperity, with surplus grain in their hands. In particular, the drought problem in the southeast region has been solved." Helandi said this with a sense of pride in his heart.

"But two years ago, a cultivator set his sights on the southeast region, the place where you previously sent down rain. He took advantage of his cultivation to occupy cities, bullying men and women, causing immense suffering to the people."

Helandi let out a long sigh.

"Alas, he killed all the officials he sent out to negotiate peace."

Monks held a very high status in the secular world, and leaders of various countries adhered to the principle of befriending them without offending them.

However, the cultivator was too domineering, and everyone was helpless.

"Father, there is no need to worry too much. I will go and meet that cultivator."

As a princess of a nation, nurtured with the nation's full resources, it is only natural for Xi to protect this country.

“Xi’er, you need to act according to your ability. It is said that the cultivator is already at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, just one step away from the Golden Core stage. If you can’t handle him, we’ll think of another way.”

Although Helandi hated that monk, he didn't want his daughter to take the risk.

Lin Jingyi and Helan Xu exchanged a glance, and Lin Jingyi smiled at Emperor Helan, saying, "Father, don't worry. I've been training outside for three years and my cultivation has improved. That cultivator's cultivation is not as high as mine."

"Really? What's your cultivation level now, little sister?" Helan Jing asked in shock.

Three years ago, my sister was only in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. How could she have surpassed the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage in just three years? Back then, it took her ten years to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Xiao Jing, don't underestimate Xi'er. I can't even beat her now," He Lanxu said to He Lanjing with a smile.

"What realm is your brother at now?" Helan Jing swallowed hard and asked cautiously.

You should know that her elder brother was accepted into the sect because of his exceptional talent, while her younger sister, despite having low talent, was able to cultivate and thus remained in the mortal world to protect the country after her cultivation.

How can one not be shocked that a good-for-nothing has caught up with a genius in just three years?

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul, my sister has already reached the late stage." Helanxu's tone was not tinged with jealousy, but rather filled with pride.

I'm so proud to have a genius sister!

Everyone looked at Lin Jingyi with shock in their eyes. In just three years, his/her sister/daughter's cultivation level had reached such a high level?

Could it be that being in the deep palace affected her cultivation?

Lin Jingyi felt embarrassed by everyone's stares, and she didn't know how to explain why her cultivation had improved so quickly.

He could only scratch his head and force a laugh.

"Father, the people in the southeast are currently suffering terribly. I will go and deal with this matter first."

After Lin Jingyi finished speaking, without waiting for anyone's response, he pulled Xuan Jiu, who was standing behind him without saying a word, and left.

The group exchanged smiles as they watched Lin Jingyi's hurried departure.

They also knew that the methods for cultivators to increase their cultivation level were generally secrets, so they naturally wouldn't ask Lin Jingyi anything.

But watching her flee in disarray, I couldn't help but smile.

Then Helanxu began to explain Xuanjiu.

A quarter of an hour later.

Lin Jingyi and Xuan Jiu appeared above the main city in the southeastern central region.

Lin Jingyi scanned the scene with his divine sense and saw the situation inside the mansion. A man in black was sitting on a couch, with a row of girls standing in front of him. One of the girls was trembling as she untied her clothes, tears of defiance streaming from her eyes.

The other women stood there trembling.

As the girl's clothes slipped off, the man in black let out a sinister laugh.

"You wait here." Lin Jingyi couldn't stand it any longer. He told Xuan Jiu to wait there while he flew down.

With a flick of his wrist, the tightly closed door burst open, and the curtains inside fluttered in the wind.

Upon seeing this, the girl inside hugged herself tightly and tried to shrink into a corner.

"Who dares to disturb my good time?" The man in black turned cold upon hearing the voice, rose from the couch, and walked straight toward Lin Jingyi.

Lin Jingyi stepped inside, channeled his spiritual power, and used it to choke the man's throat.

"Helan Kingdom, Helanxi".

The man in black stared wide-eyed, his limbs struggling wildly, the immense pressure and suffocating feeling making it hard for him to breathe.

He never expected that he couldn't see through the cultivation level of the useless princess of Helan Kingdom.

"You...you can't...kill me! I am...uh!"

Lin Jingyi's expression turned cold, and he directly twisted the man's arm, killing him instantly.

A wisp of soul tried to escape from the body, but Lin Jingyi quickly caught it and trapped it, then used a soul-searching technique on the soul.

After witnessing all the despicable things this man had done, a flame rose from Lin Jingyi's fingertips and headed towards the man's body and soul.

The man was instantly reduced to ashes.

"Greetings, Princess." After Lin Jingyi resolved the matter, the girls stepped forward and knelt in obeisance.

"Get up," Lin Jingyi said gently, using his spiritual power to lift the group up.

Speaking of which, this monk came here because of her.

She added a few drops of spring water from the Xi Space to the rainwater, which contained a trace of celestial energy.

It is this wisp of celestial aura that has a fatal attraction for cultivators.

She never expected that the cultivator would target the people in the city.

Under normal circumstances, cultivators in the secular world will not indiscriminately kill innocent people.

And the country protected by this cultivator, without the cultivator's presence, will ultimately be annexed by other countries.

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, mission complete. Do you wish to leave the world?]

Just as Lin Jingyi was deep in thought, the system's voice sounded in his mind.

[no.]

"You all go home first. Someone will handle this later," Lin Jingyi said to the several uneasy girls beside him.

Then Lin Jingyi's figure disappeared and appeared beside Xuan Jiu.

"Master, is the matter resolved?"

[Can I tell Xuan Jiu about my situation now?]

[The host can say some things, but cannot reveal anything about the system.]

Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyi looked at Xuan Jiu beside him and nodded.

"I have something to tell you now." She said seriously.

Seeing this, Xuan Jiu also put on a serious expression.

"I am not from this world. Now I am leaving this world. You and I have signed a soul contract. If you want to break it, I can help you now. If you do not wish to, you can leave with me."

Lin Jingyi initially took a liking to Xuan Jiu's abilities and signed a soul contract with it. Over the past three years, Xuan Jiu has helped her a lot.

She already considered him a friend and knew that what he wanted was freedom.
