Gu Ruoyun was now surrounded by the crowd. It was impenetrable and there was absolutely no way out! However, there was no sign of anxiety on her face. Her expression had stayed calm throughout.
"You've finally decided to attack together?" Her voice was serene and indifferent as it echoed slowly throughout the forest. "That's good too, let's finish this fight quickly."
Boom!
The aura within the woman's body stirred. It was an extremely shocking sight as if a myriad of mountains and rivers had just moved! Wind and rain gathered as it whistled towards the Lin family members...
Slash!
The broken sword's energy sliced across the frontmost row of cultivators. Before they could react, they felt a piercing pain in their chests. When they lowered their heads to check, they saw a gash on their chest with fresh blood sputtering continuously from the wound.
The crowd then watched as they crumpled to the ground...
The man in green's face has thoroughly changed. His eyes were now filled with shock.
The attack he had just received could be considered as unavoidable but these people were early-stage Martial Saints! Yet they had been attacked by the broken sword before they could even react?
Where on earth had that broken sword come from? How could it emit such a powerful energy?
Gu Ruoyun put the broken sword away as she looked at the Lin family members who were charging towards her. A thick murderous intent rose in her clear and cold eyes.
As if they could sense the murderous aura from Gu Ruoyun, the group quickly paused and stood several meters away from her. They did not dare to make any sudden moves, afraid that they would end up like the first few who had fallen into a pool of blood before they could even react.
"What kind of a person are you?"
The man in green's face was a particularly ugly shade as his eyes glared at Gu Ruoyun fixedly.
Gu Ruoyun did not say much as she slowly approached the man in green. She was holding the blood-drenched broken sword in her hand and with each step that she took, the murderous aura from within her became stronger and stronger.
"Little girl, if you wish to kill me, I'm afraid that it won't be that easy."
The man in green sneered. He had absolutely no fear of Gu Ruoyun who was slowly approaching him. His expression was full of disdain as he said, "However, as long as you're willing to admit your wrongs, I might leave you with a whole corpse!"
This little girl is indeed pretty powerful to be able to hold her own against so many early-stage Martial Saints. Unfortunately for her, he was already at the middle-stage. Even if she was to harness the power from her broken sword, she could not possibly defeat him.
Earlier on, she had managed to hurt him because he had underestimated her. Otherwise, she would never have been able to hurt him!
Whoosh!
Gu Ruoyun clutched the broken sword tightly in her hand as if she had not heard the man's words at all. With one fierce stroke, a wave of sharp sword energy rushed towards the enemy.
The two parties were very close to one another so the man in green could not evade in time. More importantly, he did not want to evade the attack for the sake of restoring his dignity! He had faced the sword energy from Gu Ruoyun's broken sword head-on.
Blam!
With a wave of his hand, a longsword appeared out of thin air in front of him. There was a loud clang when the sword energy from the broken sword reached him. The longsword in his hand then split into two before the broken sword's energy slashed fiercely upon his chest.

Cough!
The man in the green robe backed away as he spat out a mouthful of blood. His expression was extremely pale, and his keen eyes were locked on Gu Ruoyun like a pair of daggers.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment instant, numerous sword energy waves shot toward him and sealed his entire body from every direction, leaving no chance for him escape. Then, it was as if the blades had cut through his skin as his entire being was dyed in a blood red shade.
"Damned girl! This time, you're the vicious one!" The man in green gritted his teeth while his glare was fixated on Gu Ruoyun. "I'll make you understand the greatness of the Lin family the next time we meet! We're leaving!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand with the intention of leading the surviving Lin family members away from this place.
Then again... Why would Gu Ruoyun give him that chance?
Just as the man in green turned around, countless waves of sword energy charged at him from the back, and before those who had been following closely behind him could react, they fell into a pool of blood.
In the end, he was the only one left at the bottom of the mountain.
Cough!
When the man in green saw this, he did not even have the time to speak. His legs hurried toward the sky, and he headed toward the back at lightning speed as he attempted an escape for his life.
"Are you trying to escape?"
A clear and cold voice rang aloud, and by the time the man in green returned to his senses, a figure had already appeared in the sky before him.
The woman dressed in green robes had a face that was calm yet indifferent. She stared at him with a clear and cold gaze that seemed to pierce through his heart, making him tremble through the entirety of his being.
"What on earth do you want?" The man in green simply never expected that this woman who did not feel threatening to him at all just a while ago, would have such formidable powers! Especially the broken sword in his hand, to actually be able to emit such powerful energy.
Gu Ruoyun glanced at the man in green indifferently. "Since you're here, there's no need to leave you be now."
Whoosh!
A blaze of wind from the sword pierced through the skies, and the man was caught unprepared. He quickly raised the hilt of his sword in an attempt to resist the attack from the broken sword. However, the swing from that sword instantly pierced through his sword hilt and landed on his chest.
Cough!
The man in green robes spit out a mouthful of blood as his thighs landed heavily onto the ground. His expression was extremely pale, and he shot an infuriated glare at Gu Ruoyun.
"Damned girl, humans should learn where to draw the line and we'll have a more peaceful reunion when we meet again. You better quit while you're ahead! Don't go overboard, or you'll regret it sooner or later!"
"My apologies." Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders and chuckled softly as she turned toward the man in green. "I didn't plan on meeting you again in the future. So naturally, I don't need to spare your life. You once asked for my name. I can tell you now. My name, is Gu Ruoyun!"
Gu Ruoyun!
Roar!
Like a bolt of lightning on a clear day, the man in green was so shocked that he went into a daze. As he trembled, his eyes widened in astonishment as he stared in disbelief at the woman in green before him who held a broken sword high up into the sky. His body began to tremble.
Gu Ruoyun!
She's Gu Ruoyun! Grand Lord Hong Lian's daughter, and the person whom the Master has ordered us to capture!
I never thought that I'd run into Gu Ruoyun here. It's no wonder this wonder paid no heed to the Lin family.
Cough!
Just as the man in green felt as if his heart had been run over by ten thousand horses, as the broken sword in the woman's hand struck him. A gust of wind from the downward slash sliced the man in green's waist in half without even a hint of mercy. Fresh blood splattered outward and stained the entire foot of the mountain in red.

"The Lin family..."
Gu Ruoyun put the broken sword away as her indifferent gaze swept across the bodies littered on the ground. She then quickly turned away to look into the distance as a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
"One day, I will destroy the Lin family and avenge my father and mother!"
After that, she did not delay any further as she headed towards the little town...
Just as Gu Ruoyun was about to leave, she missed a flash of black robes which had appeared behind an old tree. The black-robed figure stared at her as she left. The man's grim gaze flickered with excitement as he stared unblinkingly at woman's shadow. His lips trembled gently as he said, "You're finally here..."
"Unfortunately, I can't meet you."
The man was wrapped in black robes with his face obscured. However, his voice was majestic and gruff, easy on the ears. However, as he spoke, his voice carried an easily detectable gentleness...
The man lowered his head and stared at the dead bodies on the ground. He then furrowed his brows before lifting his hand. An infinite amount of black flames immediately rose from the ground and turned those bodies into ashes which scattered into the air...
Gu Ruoyun had not noticed that man. If she had seen his appearance, she would have torn those black robes open and thrown herself into the man's familiar scent...
The woman in green stomped her foot angrily at the Murong family home. Her delicate and pretty features were filled with absolute unhappiness as she fiercely let out her heart's frustration.
"Damned Qianbei Ye, he had actually disappeared just like that!"
She had sent the elders of the family after him but this man had still managed to slip away without leaving a trace too. Now, each time the woman in green remembers this, her heart would fill with a great anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going to capture you and make you my man no matter what! This is the price you have to pay for murdering my husband-to-be!"
Just then, a servant girl approached her from outside of the courtyard. The servant girl walked carefully towards the woman in green and bowed, "Young Lady, Master has summoned you."
The woman in green sighed and replied, "I understand."
An old man was sitting upright on a hardwood chair and flipping through a book in an elegant study. He sensed someone outside the study and slowly put his book down. He then lifted his head and turned his loving gaze towards the woman in green who had just entered the room.
"Qian'er, I heard that you've mobilized the powers of the higher-ups of the Murong family all for the sake of a man?" The old man gently furrowed his brows as he spoke. His intonation was filled with dissatisfaction though some of it was exasperation and love.
"Grandfather." Murong Qian walked towards the old man's side, tugged on his arm coquettishly and said, "That fellow had murdered Wu Yun so I must make him pay me back with another husband-to-be!"
The old man sighed, feeling more exasperated by the minute. I've indeed spoiled this girl rotten, she would even snatch away another's man now.
However, the Murong family has great power so, obviously, Murong Qian would have this right as the Young Lady of the Murong family.
"I thought you didn't like Wu Yun and you didn't want to marry him? Why are you hunting this man for killing Wu Yun?"
"Whatever, I don't care. I will drag him back here and force him to marry me!" Murong Qian pouted as she spoke in a sweet and capricious manner, "In this world, no one would dare ignore me like he did! Simply because of this, I must make him my husband. Even if he refuses, I will tie him up and drag him into the bedchamber!"
Spinny
Sick sick sick sick sick woman.

Now, each time she remembers the cold, gloomy, and merciless look in Qianbei Ye's eyes when he had looked at her, Murong Qian would gnash her teeth in anger!
The more he hates her, the more she wants him to marry her! She even wanted him to fall in love with her whole-heartedly! This was the price he has to pay for ignoring her!
"Qian'er, do you know who that man is and does he have a wife or children?" The old man shook his head exasperatedly as he asked, "If he does have a wife and children, what are you going to do?"
Murong Qian fell silent. Honestly speaking, she had never thought about that. After all, she knows nothing about Qianbei Ye's true identity.
"Grandfather, I've already taken a liking for him. If he really has a wife, maybe you can give his wife some benefits." Murong Qian lifted her head, stared at the old man with her big eyes and said, "Didn't the elders of our family manage to study that pill formula from that tomb? That pill is called a Spirit Gathering Pill, isn't it? It seems to have the ability to increase the speed of a cultivator's cultivation process. When the time comes, just give her a few pills. As long as the benefits are good enough, she will leave him."
The Spirit Gathering Pill was the first pill Gu Ruoyun had refined after her reincarnation. It was also the ranked the lowest amongst all her pills. However, in the First City, this pill was equivalent to a precious treasure. Even though pill masters do exist in the First City, the pills they refine were still extremely precious because of the rarity of pill formulas.
The funniest thing was, the Eldest Lady of the Murong family intends to bribe Gu Ruoyun with Spirit Gathering Pills.
"Qian'er, you can turn your nose up at everyone else in the First City. Even the defending families can ensure your safety because I am around! However..." The old man's expression grew serious. "There are some people from one place that you must not provoke. Otherwise, I can't help you."
Murong Qian was dazed. She always thought that because she was from the Murong family, one of the defending families in the First City, there was no one in this world that she could not provoke! Even if she were to accidentally provoke the Governor's servant, the Governor would forgive her on account of her grandfather.
Yet now, her grandfather was telling her that there were those from a certain place that she must not provoke?
Otherwise, even her powerful grandfather would not be able to protect her?
"That place is the Secret Order!"
"The Secret Order?"
Murong Qian was slightly dazed. She has never heard of that place before yet her grandfather was warning her against provoking them.
"Qian'er, the reason you've never heard of the Secret Order because not many people are aware of its existence. However, not even the Governor would dare to cross the members of the Secret Order so you can imagine how powerful they are." The old man's face now displayed a never-before-seen seriousness as he fixed his gaze on Murong Qian. "Initially, I had not wanted to tell you about this but you are far too willful in everything that you do. That's why I had no choice but to tell you about the Secret Order!"
"I can say that this Secret Order had existed longer than the First City itself. The Secret Order had been established before the First City. Therefore, how could the First City's power be compared with the long-standing Secret Order?"
The old man sighed and laughed bitterly as he spoke.
Murong Qian was dumbfounded once again. The Secret Order had been established before the First City? Just how powerful is this Secret Order?
"But Grandfather, why have we never heard of the Secret Order even after so many years?"
The old man looked at the bewildered Murong Qian and replied, "The Secret Order is an organization which exists in seclusion in the First City. They rarely show themselves which is why they are called the Secret Order! The Secret Order has never concerned itself with worldly matters, their only concern is cultivation. One can only imagine how powerful they are. In the Secret Order, the only one who is allowed to give orders is their Lord Clan Elder! However, there is still another whose position will one day surpass the Lord Clan Elder!"

"That person is the Sacred Lady of the Secret Order!"
The old man took a deep breath before he continued, "I heard that the Clan Elder had brought the Sacred Lady back twenty years ago. The Holy Beast of the Secret Order had bestowed the title of the 'Sacred Lady' to her! However, no one knows what the Sacred Lady looks like and neither do we know her name. All we know is that this Sacred Lady is almost forty years old now. Therefore, you must be very careful when you're outside in case you end up provoking the Sacred Lady of the Secret Order. Not even the Lord Governor can protect you then, let alone me."
Murong Qian nodded solemnly. "I understand, grandfather, I won't ever step on the Secret Order's tail. The Secret Order simply sounds too scary!"
"Alright, I've said all that needs to be said. You can go now." The old man waved his hand as he spoke lovingly.
"I'll take my leave now."
Murong Qian flashed a charming smile before she left the old man's side and made her way out of the study.
At Overlook Town, the bustling streets were completely silenced after Gu Ruoyun's arrival.
It was obvious that the citizens of the town had carved Gu Ruoyun's image into their minds since the competition! Now that she has made an appearance again, they could not help but glance at her with their eyes filled with longing and admiration.
After all, Great Master Wu Yin was already powerful in the eyes of Overlook Town's inhabitants. Yet, if a person like Great Master Wu Yin could lose to her, was this not entirely shocking?
"Are you Gu Ruoyun?"
Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of Gu Ruoyun and blocked her way.
Gu Ruoyun raised her brow as she stared at the two who were standing in front of her. A glint flashed in her eyes.
Their powers are just below the rank of an exceptional state Martial Saint! She mused.
"That's right." Gu Ruoyun nodded. "I'm Gu Ruoyun. May I ask what business do you have with me?"
"My Sir had witnessed your competition against Grand Master Wu Yin so he's extending you an invitation."
The man in gray was not exactly friendly but he had spoken with a hint of respect.
A pill master was enough for cultivators at the exceptional state to lower their pride!
Gu Ruoyun thought for a moment before she replied, "Lead the way."
She was really curious about the identity of the person who wishes to meet her.
A man dressed in embroidered robes was leaning against the window of an inn as he sipped quietly on his tea. His eyes were fixed on the scenery outside the window and no one could tell what he was thinking.
The man looked rather emaciated as if he had been bedridden for a long time. His handsome face was rather pale too as if not a drop of blood was left and that his life would fade away at any moment.
However, what made Gu Ruoyun fall silent was the fact that there was no hint of spiritual energy fluctuations in the man at all. His aura was just like a normal person's which moved up and down indefinitely without remaining steady! If those two powerful cultivators had not tagged along with him, it was easy to assume that this man was merely a common citizen.
Nevertheless, Gu Ruoyun knows that the First City was not like the mainland. Commoners who have no cultivation abilities were virtually non-existent in the First City. The reason that this man does not emit any spiritual energy fluctuations was very simple, he must have run into an unfortunate event which had exhausted and damaged his powers!
"Sir, I've brought the person that you've requested to meet."
The man in gray robes approached that man and joined his fists respectfully as he spoke.
"Mm." Upon hearing this, the man finally turned to look at Gu Ruoyun. "My initial objective for coming to Overlook Town was to send a request to Great Master Wu Yin to ask for his help with some matters. Now that I've witnessed both your performances, I'd like to ask you for help."

Gu Ruoyun curled the corners of her lips and stared at the man's pale face with a forced smile. "You want me to serve you?"
"No." The man shook his head. His voice was rather frail as if he could disappear at any moment. "I want to ask for your help! I can reward you for it!"
"May I ask what reward you're offering?" Gu Ruoyun smiled indifferently and replied in a nonchalant manner. "If the reward suits me, I might think about it."
The man looked at Gu Ruoyun and slowly responded, "My name is Feng Yuqing."
Feng Yuqing?
Gu Ruoyun's gaze sharpened when she heard his name. "You're a member of Wind Valley?" she inquired. "The hedonistic, good-for-nothing Second Young Master of Wind Valley?"
It was common knowledge that the Second Young Master of Wind Valley had a rebellious and mischievous nature. Later on, he had been stripped of his powers due to a secret plot. This was how the position of Young Master had then fallen into Feng Xiaoxiao's hands! However, based on her current observation, the Second Master of Wind Valley does not seem to be as unreasonable as the rumors say.
Feng Yuqing smiled. "That's right, I am indeed that hedonistic, good-for-nothing Second Young Master of Wind Valley! Of course, if I had not been so naughty and mischievous, I'm afraid that Feng Xiaoxiao would have murdered me long ago! However, despite using my hedonistic ways to mask my cultivation, she had not spared me in the end!"
"No matter what, you are the Second Master of Wind Valley. You had known of Feng Xiaoxiao's murderous intent towards you from the beginning. Why didn't you say anything then?" Gu Ruoyun knitted her brows as she asked.
In Wind Valley, Feng Yuqing and Feng Xiaoxiao held different positions. Feng Yuqing, as the son of the first wife, was actually afraid of a concubine's daughter! Even though not many people know of Feng Xiaoxiao's birth, both their positions could not be compared on equal footing.
Hence, Gu Ruoyun could not understand why Feng Yuqing had preferred to hide his true nature instead of exposing Feng Xiaoxiao's actions.
Feng Yuqing shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Feng Xiaoxiao is a dark schemer, I cannot defeat her. Besides, after I had wised up to what was going on, she had already brought most of the elders of Wind Valley into submission secretly. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had so much support from the elders who had pushed for her promotion when my powers had been crippled! To avoid creating chaos in Wind Valley, I, lacking evidence, could not overthrow Feng Xiaoxiao. I haven't even spoken to my father about this."
Even Feng Yuqing found it difficult to believe that Feng Xiaoxiao, who had only been a child at the time, had forced so many elders into submission. He had no chance to retaliate at all!
If he had stepped forward to accuse Feng Xiaoxiao without any evidence, it would certainly start a civil war within Wind Valley! This was something that he does not wish to see! Hence, in order to cause Feng Xiaoxiao to loosen her vigilance, he had masked his true nature once he had reached adulthood by becoming the hedonistic disciple that everyone knows of today.
However, he never thought that Feng Xiaoxiao would still launch an attack on him despite those circumstances! Even though he had managed to escape with his life, he had been reduced to a good-for-nothing!
"If I help you, what reward will you grant me?"
Gu Ruoyun raised her brow as her gaze landed upon Feng Yuqing's pale features.
"Wind Valley must not fall into Feng Xiaoxiao's hands!" A murderous light flashed in Feng Yuqing's eyes. "Hence, I want to ask you to help me take back the Young Master of Wind Valley's position! I will give you half of Wind Valley as a reward!"
Gu Ruoyun narrowed her eyes. For the sake of the position as Young Master of Wind Valley, Feng Yuqing has given his blood and sweat!
"There are many powerful cultivators in Wind Valley. I am only a newly-minted Martial Saint so I can't help you on my own."

Logically speaking, Gu Ruoyun and Wind Valley do not have a friendly relationship. If Feng Xiaoxiao was to find out about Gu Ruoyun's arrival in Wind Valley, she would most certainly come looking for her! This means that she would certainly help Feng Yuqing to regain his position! Only then would she be able to prevent Feng Xiaoxiao from causing trouble for her.
Besides, she also has her relationship with the fire spiritual beast. She had once promised the fire spiritual beast that she would help restore his clan to freedom.
Yet, she had rejected him!
Feng Yuqing had not expected Gu Ruoyun to reject him instantly either. He was shocked and a sense of astonishment flashed in his eyes, "You don't want half of Wind Valley?"
"My apologies. If I want something, I can take it with my own two hands. I don't need you to gift it to me!" Gu Ruoyun smiled indifferently. "Besides, I am a person who values her life. I do not wish to take this risk for the sake of someone who is insignificant to me. My powers are still quite low at the moment and I can't go up against forces like Wind Valley. I think it would be better for you to look for someone else."
Gu Ruoyun knows that Feng Yuqing had come to look for her not simply because of her competition with Great Master Wu Yin.
As he was the Second Young Master of Wind Valley, he must have known of the conflict between her and Feng Xiaoxiao!
This was the crux of his invitation!
"Lady Gu, do you feel that half of Wind Valley is not enough?" Feng Yuqing's lips gently trembled. "You can tell me what you want. As long as it's within my power, I will get it for you!"
Gu Ruoyun shook her head. "You don't understand what I'm saying. You and I are total strangers yet you want me to risk danger simply for the sake of an insignificant half of Wind Valley? I'm sorry, I am not that great yet! I can't willingly sacrifice myself for the sake of helping others."
An insignificant half of Wind Valley?
Upon hearing this, the two men in grey robes who were standing by Feng Yuqing's side could not contain themselves from rolling their eyes.
This woman was probably the only person who would underestimate Wind Valley in this manner!
Their Sir had put half of Wind Valley as remuneration, was there any greater reward than this? Yet she has rejected him without any hesitation!
"Lady Gu, can I exchange this with something else?" Feng Yuqing steadied the waves in his heart as a light flashed in his eyes. "A site of historical ruins had just been unearthed in a high mountain not too far away. I'd like to ask if you could accompany me there. Of couse, I will also provide you with substantial rewards."
Historical ruins?
Gu Ruoyun was shocked. She then eyed Feng Yuqing suspiciously and wrinkled her brows. "What kind of ruins are they?"
"I don't know the specifics. It is said that it had been left behind by a powerful cultivator ten thousand years ago. Those who are lucky enough to enter the ruins will be able to obtain that inheritance!" Feng Yuqing took a deep breath and said. "If I can have that inheritance, I would then have enough power to defeat Feng Xiaoxiao. I only need you to protect me on my journey there and help me to obtain that inheritance. Ultimately, I will still reward you with half of Wind Valley!"
Gu Ruoyun fell silent.
Honestly speaking, she was not particularly interested in obtaining half of Wind Valley. However... Those ruins have piqued her interest.
"There is one thing that I can't seem to understand."
She had not lost all reasoning when she heard Feng Yuqing's words. Instead, she asked, "You already have two powerful cultivators at the exceptional state by your side. Why must you have me by your side with them around? My usefulness seems to be far less significant compared to these two."
Feng Yuqing smiled. "I want you to come along because you are a pill master. Those ruins are fraught with dangers. With a pill master on our side, we would have a guarantee at least. That's why I've invited you to come with me."
