Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 702: The 702 people left

When noon arrived, Tian Zilian called Lin Kuang and Xiao Yingzi for lunch.

However, upon seeing Xiao Yingzi, Tian Zilian was stunned. When Xiao Yingzi had first arrived, she had clearly been disguised as a man. How had she turned into a woman now?

The Face-Changing Technique? Tian Zilian wondered curiously.

"Time to eat? Let’s go," Lin Kuang said with a smile.

Xiao Yingzi nodded and followed Lin Kuang out of the room, with Tian Zilian leading the way.

Before long, the three of them arrived at the grand hall of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, where Pei Yourong, Pei Qingtao, Pei Yuandong, and the others were already waiting. The sect leader, Tian Botong, and the four Elders were all present as well.

When they saw Lin Kuang arrive, everyone politely rose to greet him. After all, he had been a great help during the previous battle, so both Tian Botong and the four Elders of the Heavenly Mountain Sect treated him with great courtesy.

"Friend Lin, we were just waiting for you. Let’s eat," Tian Botong said with a smile as he saw Lin Kuang and Xiao Yingzi arrive.

Lin Kuang nodded with a smile, sat down with Xiao Yingzi, and everyone began to eat.

During the meal, Pei Yourong spoke up. "Sect Leader Tian, Friend Lin, we plan to depart after this. The resurgence of the Demon Sect is a matter I must report to my family. I will also notify the other Ancient Martial Arts families so they can make preparations."

Hearing this, everyone nodded. "Alright, then we’ll trouble you, Brother Pei," Tian Botong said to Pei Yourong. "I will send messengers to the families and sects in the vicinity of Heavenly Mountain to ensure they are also prepared." The resurgence of the Demon Sect was, after all, a major event.

"Understood. Sect Leader Tian, you must also be careful," Pei Yourong said with concern. "I worry the Demon Sect will make a comeback and target the Heavenly Mountain Sect. You must remain on guard."

Tian Botong nodded with a smile. "Don’t worry, Brother Pei. If we hadn’t been severely poisoned, it wouldn’t be so easy for the Demon Sect to destroy the Heavenly Mountain Sect."

Tian Botong spoke with confidence. After all, he was a master of the Five Energies Towards The Origin. For the Demon Sect to assassinate him, they would need to dispatch several of their most formidable experts; otherwise, it would be nearly impossible.

Pei Yourong nodded. "That’s good to hear. In that case, we shall take our leave." He finished the last sip of wine in his cup and stood up.

"Very well. I will see you all out," Tian Botong said with a smile.

The entire group then stood up and escorted Pei Yourong, Pei Qingtao, Pei Yuandong, and the others to the main gate of the Heavenly Mountain Sect.

"Please, don’t see us any further," Pei Yourong said with a smile, clasping his fist toward Tian Botong in a slight bow. "We’ll be on our way now. If anything happens, Sect Leader Tian, please inform us promptly."

"Rest assured," Tian Botong replied with a smile. "If anything happens, I will notify you immediately."

Pei Yourong and his group nodded, then finally departed.

Once Pei Yourong’s group had disappeared from view, Tian Botong turned his gaze to Lin Kuang.

"Friend Lin, shall we head back?"

"Alright," Lin Kuang agreed with a smile, following Tian Botong and the others back to the grand hall.

After chatting in the grand hall for a while, Lin Kuang rose with Xiao Yingzi and they returned to his room.

Back in the room, Xiao Yingzi’s expression turned grave. "Has the Demon Sect really reappeared?"

Lin Kuang was slightly taken aback but nodded. "Yes, they have. This time, they nearly overran the Heavenly Mountain Sect." He looked at Xiao Yingzi and spoke with great seriousness.

Anger flashed across Xiao Yingzi’s beautiful face. "Those bastards from the Demon Sect deserve to die! Lin Kuang, it seems I can’t stay with you any longer. I have to return to my family and inform the elders about this."

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes rested on Lin Kuang, a hint of apology in her gaze.

"It’s okay, I understand," Lin Kuang said with a smile. "You should go. It’s not like we won’t have another chance to meet."

"Hmph! You’re probably just eager for me to leave, aren’t you?" Xiao Yingzi said irritably, hearing how readily he agreed.

"What? How could that be?" Lin Kuang said, looking into her beautiful eyes with mock seriousness. "I couldn’t be happier to have a beautiful woman like you with me. How could I bear to let you go? It’s only because you have important matters to attend to. Otherwise, I wouldn’t let you leave."

"Hmph. I certainly hope that’s what you really think," Xiao Yingzi huffed, rolling her eyes at him.

"Of course! How could a kind person like me ever lie to you?" Lin Kuang said with a straight face.

"Fine, I’ll believe you this one time," Xiao Yingzi grumbled, looking at him. "But just you wait. After I return home and tell my family about this, I’m coming to the East Sea to find you. And don’t worry, I know where you live there. If you think you can run away, you’re sorely mistaken."

"Uh, no, of course not. I definitely won’t run," Lin Kuang said seriously, though he was wailing internally. This woman is just too much to handle!

"I hope so. Now, walk me out," Xiao Yingzi said.

"Alright, let’s go," Lin Kuang agreed, then escorted her out.

After they parted ways, Lin Kuang returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and quietly resumed his cultivation.

Time passed quickly, and before long, the sky had darkened. Just then, a knock on the door roused Lin Kuang from his cultivation, and he opened his eyes.

"Brother Lin, it’s time for dinner. We can leave right after we eat," came Tian Zilian’s clear voice from outside.

Hearing her voice, Lin Kuang smiled, his mood instantly improving.

"Alright, I’m coming, Zilian!" Lin Kuang called out with a laugh as he pushed the door open and walked out.

Tian Zilian smiled when she saw him and led him into the grand hall.

Inside, Tian Botong and the four Elders of the Heavenly Mountain Sect were all present. The group sat down and began to eat.

Anxious to get going, Lin Kuang quickly ate his fill.

"Sect Leader Tian, everyone, I’m finished. Please, take your time," Lin Kuang said to the others with a smile.

"Seeing how eager you are, you must be in a hurry to find the Ice Silkworm," Tian Botong said with a smile. "Zilian, why don’t you take Friend Lin there now?"

Tian Zilian nodded with a smile, her beautiful eyes resting on Lin Kuang. "Brother Lin, let’s go. By the time we get there, it’ll be completely dark."

Lin Kuang nodded eagerly. I’ve been waiting for this moment!
