The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Although Xin Ruyin needed to raise spirit stones to purchase millennium-old spiritual herbs, she would not easily decide on her Daoist partner.

Besides, as an array master, raising several thousand spirit stones would only take her a little more time.

So Xin Ruyin had refused him outright, but Huang Liang was still up to no good. After unexpectedly learning that Xin Ruyin urgently needed spirit stones to save her life, he thought that with the power of the Huang family, it was not impossible to make Xin Ruyin obediently submit.

The Huang family is a small family with no Foundation Establishment cultivators. Huang Liang is the strongest cultivator in the Huang family, with a cultivation level of Qi Refining Perfection. He is also trying to raise spirit stones to buy Foundation Establishment Pills and has his eye on Xin Ruyin's earning power.

Huang Liang meticulously planned this matter, even using his personal connections with the law enforcement officers in the market to force Xin Ruyin to comply.

"Miss Xin, you should think this through carefully. After all, your condition cannot be delayed, and I, Huang, am willing to lend you a helping hand."

A glint flashed in Huang Liang's eyes, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

"Huang Liang, you don't need to worry about my affairs. You're not welcome here. Please have some self-respect!"

Xin Ruyin's expression hardened slightly, and a hint of anger appeared in her eyes.

"Hmph! If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink!"

Huang Liang snorted coldly and then planned to have the enforcement team disciples beside him teach Xin Ruyin a lesson.

After receiving a signal from Huang Liang, the Li-surnamed enforcement team member knew what to do.

"Since Master Xin is unwilling to reconcile, then this steward will proceed according to official procedures."

The Li-surnamed enforcement team member glanced at Xin Ruyin calmly and indifferently.

Huang Liang glanced at Xin Ruyin smugly.

Xiaomei was so anxious she was jumping up and down, but she knew she wasn't qualified to speak there. If she spoke rashly, it would only make her mistress's situation more difficult.

"Is this the market under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Star Sect? It has truly broadened my horizons."

Just then, a mocking voice rang out.

The sudden sound plunged Ruyin Pavilion into a moment of silence.

Upon hearing the voice, Xin Ruyin immediately pictured a person in her mind.

Lu Yao appeared at the inner door of Ruyin Pavilion at some point and spoke calmly.

"Who are you? How dare you speak ill of the Heavenly Star Sect?!"

Huang Liang's face darkened, and he pointed at Lu Yao, shouting sternly.

"Where did this stray dog ​​come from, daring to bark like that here!"

Lu Yao glanced at Huang Liang indifferently, his disdain evident in his words.

"Damn it! Deacon Li, this man not only disregards you, but also dares to speak ill of the Heavenly Star Sect. I suggest that he be apprehended immediately!"

Huang Liang's face twitched, and he stared fiercely at Lu Yao.

However, the Li-surnamed enforcement team member ignored Huang Liang, instead frowning slightly and giving Lu Yao a deep look.

"Fellow Daoist has criticized my Heavenly Star Sect. If you do not give me an explanation, I'm afraid you will not be able to leave so easily today."

The Li-surnamed enforcement team member had a serious expression, and his words to Lu Yao were both soft and firm.

This was not because the Li-surnamed enforcement team disciple was a reasonable person, but because he was unable to detect Lu Yao's cultivation level and left some room for interpretation in his words.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, you don’t need to do this for Ruyin.”

Xin Ruyin thought that Lu Yao was standing up for her, and that she would be in trouble if she did, and then she would really have a hard time facing Lu Yao.

"Please forgive me, Miss Xin, but I have never seen such a shameless person before, and I couldn't help but say a few more words."

Lu Yao chuckled and shrugged at Xin Ruyin.

"call out!"

A token flew out, transforming into a streak of light that shot towards the Li-surnamed enforcement team disciple.

"Is this a valid explanation?"

Lu Yao looked at the Li-surnamed enforcement team disciple with a half-smile, observing him with great interest.

The Li-surnamed enforcement team member grabbed the token, and saw that the words "Covering the Moon" were engraved on it.

"People from the Hidden Moon Sect?!"

The Li-surnamed enforcement team member's expression changed; he hadn't expected Lu Yao to be a member of the Hidden Moon Sect.

His face immediately darkened. The Yue Kingdom, where the Hidden Moon Sect was located, was adjacent to the Tianwu Kingdom. Both the Heavenly Star Sect and the Hidden Moon Sect belonged to the major righteous sects, so they naturally had exchanges.

Although he was just a Qi Refining disciple of the Tianxing Sect, he had been in Tianxing Market for so many years and naturally knew a lot of information.

He was only trying to repay a favor, and he could still try to handle things flexibly. Even if Xin Ruyin complained to the Tianxing Sect, he wouldn't be in any trouble.

However, if it involves disciples from other sects, then we have to be careful. If it causes trouble in two sects, it would be enough to kill him ten times over.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, since we are all family, we naturally cannot handle this.”

"You lot! If you dare to cause trouble at Ruyin Pavilion again, the enforcement team will punish you severely!"

The attitude of the Li-surnamed enforcement team member changed instantly, and he reprimanded Huang Liang and the others.

Compared to the safety of his own journey, Huang Liang's human relationships seemed insignificant.

"Deacon Li, you..."

Huang Liang was momentarily bewildered. He couldn't understand why the Tianxing Sect's enforcement team disciples had suddenly changed their attitude towards him after Lu Yao had given him a token; in fact, they could be said to have turned against him.

"Could this person also be a disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect?"

Huang Liang's face was grim, but he dared not speak out. If his guess was true, and he continued to harass him, his fate might not be good.

"Uh... misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding, Miss Xin. Just pretend I was never here. Farewell!"

Huang Liang was able to become the head of a clan because he was quite shrewd; he knew when to bow his head and never hesitated.

Huang Liang dared not linger and led the burly man with stubble and others away from Ruyin Pavilion in a sorry state.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is your token."

After Huang Liang and the others left, the Li-surnamed enforcement team member smiled and handed the token to Lu Yao.

"I still don't know how to address you, fellow Daoist?"

Lu Yao put away the token, and suddenly an idea struck him.

"My name is Li Yichen, an outer disciple of the Tianxing Sect, and I am temporarily serving as the market steward."

Li Yichen also wanted to get to know Lu Yao, after all, having more friends means having more options.

"Lu Yao, an inner disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect."

Lu Yao smiled and changed his identity from a disciple of the lineage to an inner disciple, thus demoting him by two levels.

Given his status as a disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect, he was considered a half-Core Formation cultivator, and would be treated with great courtesy if he went to the Heavenly Star Sect.

"An inner disciple?! Fellow Daoist, you... no, senior, please forgive me, I didn't realize I had encountered a Foundation Establishment senior!"

Li Yichen's expression changed drastically. His original intention to befriend Lu Yao vanished instantly, leaving him only with endless fear.

If he had chosen to insist on helping Huang Liang, his fate would have been uncertain.

If Lu Yao were to file a complaint against a Foundation Establishment cultivator from a major sect in the Tianxing Sect, he would be immediately dismissed and await punishment.

Because this involves the sect's reputation, the Tianxing Sect has never been lenient towards such behavior, especially since he is only a Qi Refining stage disciple.
