Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

Zhong Lingxin smiled; she knew this would happen.

Several disciples of the Chaoyuan Sect looked at Zhong Lingxin smugly, thinking, "Let's see what you do now."

What should Zhong Lingxin do? She'll just have to accept it.

She said lazily, "Am I causing trouble? So many Chaoyuan Sect disciples are beating up me, am I causing trouble?"

The patrol captain glanced at the Chaoyuan Sect disciples and saw only contempt and mockery in their eyes.

He mustered his courage and shouted, "You dare to argue when you're fighting in my Xiajiang City? Guards, take him away!"

Zhong Lingxin sneered: "Heh, I know that Xiajiang City belongs to Chaoyuan Sect. You let them go without asking any questions, but only arrested me. You're so protective that you don't even bother to cover it up. Are you bullying me because I'm an outsider with no foundation?"

A disciple of the Chaoyuan Sect chuckled, "She has a strong foundation; she's from the Qingyun Sect!"

Several disciples of the Chaoyuan Sect burst into laughter.

Suddenly, their vision blurred, and they heard a scream beside them: "Ah!!!"

The city guards were shocked to find that a disciple of the Chaoyuan Sect had been beaten right under their noses.

If they go back, their city lord will skin them alive!

The squad leader of the city patrol, holding a spirit-locking chain, and several other city patrolmen, each wielding a large sword, all rushed towards Zhong Lingxin.

With a flick of her wrist, Zhong Lingxin threw the Chaoyuan Sect disciple who was being beaten into the spirit-locking chain in the hands of the patrol squad leader.

She launched herself with a "skyrocket" attack, hurtling towards the nearest patrolling soldier.

A loud shout came from afar: "Stop! Stop it, everyone!"

Zhong Lingxin recognized Ge Hongtian's voice.

She understood what he meant, but she didn't intend to stop. The "skyrocket" shot out, and it was bound to hit someone eventually.

The disciples of Chaoyuan Sect recognized Ge Hongtian and bowed in unison, saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother Ge!"

When the patrol captain saw the disciples of Chaoyuan Sect bowing, he forgot about fighting Zhong Lingxin and hurriedly followed suit.

Seeing Zhong Lingxin send a patrolling soldier flying into the air with a single punch, Ge Hongtian quickly leaped to catch him and sighed, "Junior Sister Zhong, I apologize on their behalf. Please stop."

Zhong Lingxin rubbed her wrist, looked at Ge Hongtian, and smiled, "Senior Brother Ge, you've come at just the right time!"

Ge Hongtian rubbed his nose. After arriving in Xiajiang City, he first went to the City Lord's Mansion to pay his respects to City Lord Xie.

The harpoon shop belongs to Lord Xie's family.

I heard from the people in the city lord's mansion that a seemingly delicate and timid female cultivator was actually a physical cultivator and was beating someone up in the harpoon shop.

The first person he thought of was Zhong Lingxin.

He had witnessed Zhong Lingxin knock down Feng Haixi with a single punch.

Based on Zhong Lingxin's itinerary, it is highly likely that she will travel to Xiajiang City.

He saw Zhong Lingxin's smiling face in his mind and hurriedly ran over.

When they arrived, they saw Zhong Lingxin beating up their Chaoyuan Sect disciples.

Ge Hongtian smiled and cupped his hands to Zhong Lingxin: "I heard that a female body cultivator was fighting with someone here. I thought that Junior Sister Zhong had only recently come out of the Mangyuan Mountains, so she was very likely to have come to Xiajiang. So I came to check. And sure enough, it was Junior Sister Zhong."

Several disciples of the Chaoyuan Sect were puzzled by the familiar relationship between Ge Hongtian and Zhong Lingxin. They were extremely uncomfortable seeing their own sect leader's disciple chatting and laughing with the enemy while they themselves had suffered a loss.

Seeing that Ge Hongtian hadn't said a word of blame, Zhong Lingxin smiled and recounted how the incident had started.

When he mentioned the disdain and mockery shown by the Chaoyuan Sect disciples towards the Qingyun Sect, he glanced at them.

Several disciples of the Chaoyuan Sect dared not speak.

Zhong Lingxin's statement was merely a statement of facts; she did not defend herself or exaggerate the facts.

Seeing that the disciples of Chaoyuan Sect dared not speak, Ge Hongtian knew that what Zhong Lingxin said was all true.

He glanced at several disciples of the Chaoyuan Sect.

Several disciples of the Chaoyuan Sect were too frightened to speak.

In this matter, Zhong Lingxin was wrong, but they were wrong even more.

The two female disciples who entered the store first were so frightened that they huddled in the crowd, not daring to even lift their heads.

Lingji is a smart man. He immediately apologized to Zhong Lingxin, saying that he had not managed his junior brothers and sisters well and that the fault was all his own. He asked Ge Hongtian to punish him.

Zhong Lingxin didn't want to dwell on this matter too much. She smiled and waved her hand, taking out a bottle of healing pills and waving it in front of Lingji: "I was also at fault in this matter. This is an apology to everyone. If you are still not satisfied, you can come to Qingyun Sect to find me anytime. I'll take you in!"

Ge Hongtian chuckled.

He likes Zhong Shimei's personality.

They don't cause trouble, but they dare to take responsibility.

He waved for Emperor Chaoyuan and the city guards to leave.

Only Zhong Lingxin and Ge Hongtian Xuanyuan remained in the venue.

Zhong Lingxin introduced, "This is my Uncle Xuanyuan." "Uncle Xuanyuan, this is my friend Ge Hongtian, whom I met in the Mangyuan Mountains."

Upon hearing Xuan Yuan's name, Ge Hongtian was so shocked that cold sweat poured down his back.

He knew about Xuan Yuan; it was the contracted beast of the Venerable Qingyang, a large black dragon whose combat power was said to be no less than Qingyang's.

One of his ancestors was a Tribulation Transcending cultivator from the Chaoyuan Sect, ranking among the top three in combat power on the Immortal Spirit Continent. When discussing the combat power rankings on the Immortal Spirit Continent with him, he mentioned the top one hundred cultivators and spirit beasts/demons.

Neither Qingyang Venerable Saint nor Xuan Yuan were among these one hundred.

However, his ancestors' evaluation of this man and beast was unfathomable, and it was very likely that it was above the first place.

However, the man and the beast kept a very low profile, and almost no one had ever seen them fight.

His ancestor was rescued by someone during a dangerous situation. Afterwards, following the clues, he discovered that the person who saved him was most likely Qingyang Venerable Saint who happened to be passing by. In addition, several other people ranked high did not dare to provoke Qingyang Venerable Saint.

The conclusion was that both Qingyang Venerable Saint and his contracted beast were unfathomable.

Now, seeing Xuan Yuan standing there calmly, if he didn't know that he was a ninth-order Great Perfection spirit beast, he would really think that he was an ordinary person with no cultivation.

He genuinely didn't realize that Xuan Yuan was a spirit beast.

When Xuan Yuan entered the city, the defensive array of Xiajiang City did not show any spiritual energy fluctuations.

Is this what they call returning to simplicity?

Ge Hongtian respectfully greeted Xuan Yuan, addressing him as "senior."

Xuan Yuan nodded slightly.

Ge Hongtian turned to Zhong Lingxin and asked, "Junior Sister Zhong, are you here to eat the Yangtze River fish as well?"

After the fight, Zhong Lingxin's appetite was whetted when she heard about the Yangtze River fish. She nodded and said, "That's right, we came here specifically for the Yangtze River fish."

Ge Hongtian gestured for them to proceed: "That's perfect. I'm here for the Xiajiang fish too. Let's go to the Xiajiang Restaurant up ahead. Their Xiajiang fish are all caught and killed on the spot, and they're extremely delicious."

Zhong Lingxin turned to look at Uncle Xuan Yuan.

Xuan Yuan nodded indifferently: "Go ahead. I remember that the Xiajiang Restaurant is located not far downstream from the Kuimen Gate. The fish from the Xiajiang River there are the fattest and most plentiful. After we finish eating, we'll catch a few to take back to Qingyang."
