Reading Is Holy! Exposed By My Junior Sister!

Chapter 121: Qu Shang Flowing Water, Lin Family of Zhongzhou!

With that in mind, Chen Chang'an reached into his pocket and took out a pure white token.

This token was left behind by Kong Chu after he arrived.

It had a pleasant name, called Qu Fu Ling, also known as Ru Ling.

Three days later, the Confucian School would hold a grand event in Zhongzhou, the Qu Shang Conference.

At that time, all Confucian scholars above a certain level would be invited to attend the conference at the Jixia Academy.

And this Qu Fu Ling was the invitation letter that the Confucian School issued to the Confucian scholars of the world.

This kind of token was divided into three levels.

One was the Sage Token for those above the level of a Great Confucian, the other was the Teacher Token for Confucian scholars, and the last one was the Scholar Token for Confucian scholars.

The one in Chen Chang'an's hand was the Sage Token.

Kong Chu had come all this way specifically to give this token to Chen Chang'an.

After standing on the deck for a while, Chen Chang'an returned to his room.

Although the scenery was beautiful, he still preferred to stay in his room for peace and quiet.

The next few days passed without incident.

In the sky, the flying boat continued to travel smoothly, while in the room, Chen Chang'an took a nap.

"Senior Brother, we have arrived in Zhongzhou."

After an unknown amount of time had passed, on this day, when Chen Chang'an woke up from his bed in the morning, Mao Ruxue's voice sounded in his ears.

"Mm."

Chen Chang'an nodded in response, then got up and walked out of the room.

He went to the deck.

Standing on the deck, looking at the magnificent Zhongzhou Holy Land below, a ripple of emotion flashed through Chen Chang'an's heart.

If there was one city in the entire human race that was the most prosperous, it was undoubtedly Zhongzhou.

Here, the Confucian School and the Ascending Transformation Immortal Sect, the two top Daoist traditions, were located.

In this small world, there were also countless top human dynasties scattered about.

Such as Da Qian, Da Zhou, Da Yuan, Da Li, and so on.

Although these dynasties had declined nowadays, they still served as the birthplace of the human race, each holding their own, suppressing the luck of the human race.

"Uncle Master, it's time for breakfast."

At this moment, the door of the inner room opened, and Li Ziwan came over with a plate of food and placed it on the wooden table on the flying boat deck, saying to Chen Chang'an, followed closely by Mao Ruxue.

"Mm."

Chen Chang'an nodded and then sat down at the table.

Li Ziwan and Mao Ruxue also found their own places to sit.

Soon, the three of them began to eat.

"Niece Ziwan, are you getting used to staying here?"

While eating, Chen Chang'an suddenly looked at Li Ziwan beside him and asked.

"Thank you, Uncle Master, for your concern. Disciple is getting used to it."

Li Ziwan nodded and replied to Chen Chang'an's question.

To be honest, Li Ziwan's values have been greatly impacted since she came on the Feizhou.

First of all, there's the matter of breakfast.

Li Ziwan couldn't understand why this senior brother, who had already been practicing fasting, still had to eat three meals a day, just like an ordinary person in the mortal world.

However, as she spent more time on the Feizhou, Li Ziwan gradually realized that this was not a bad thing.

After all, isn't the purpose of cultivation to enjoy life more?

If that's the case, why not start enjoying it in advance?

So, in the past few days, she has gradually become accustomed to the lifestyle of having breakfast and dinner.

"If you're used to it, then that's good."

Chen Chang'an nodded, then asked, "Have you encountered any difficulties in your cultivation recently?"

"Not yet, senior brother," Li Ziwan replied.

"That's good," Chen Chang'an nodded in response.

"If you encounter anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me. It's uncertain when one is exploring on their own," he added.

As a disciple who inherited the legacy of the Taiyin Palace Master, Chen Chang'an naturally didn't want Li Ziwan to fail in her studies.

He also wanted to see how far the Taiyin Palace Master summoned from this world could grow.

Li Ziwan thanked him again, saying, "Thank you, senior brother."

"What about me, senior brother?" Mao Ruxue, who was sitting next to them, raised her head and asked while eating Li Ziwan's food.

"You, girl, don't interrupt. Just eat your food," Chen Chang'an replied.

"Senior brother, if you don't love me anymore, does love disappear?" Mao Ruxue stopped talking after hearing Chen Chang'an's words.

"You, girl," Chen Chang'an gave Mao Ruxue a tap on the head and shook his head impatiently.

Mao Ruxue didn't need him to teach her anymore.

With the three major Law Manifestations plus the recently acquired Wangshu Law Manifestation, Mao Ruxue had accumulated five Law Manifestations.

With such accumulation, Chen Chang'an couldn't find anything else to teach her.

After a while, they finished their meal. Mao Ruxue looked at the landscape below and asked, "Senior brother, are we going to stop here or go directly to the Confucian School?"

Zhongzhou is vast, and although they have arrived in Zhongzhou, they have not yet reached the Confucian School.

"Where are we now?" Chen Chang'an asked.

Mao Ruxue replied, "Senior brother, this is Tianfang City. We have reached the territory of the Dali Dynasty."

The Dali Dynasty is one of the six major dynasties in Zhongzhou.

In more distant places, there are the Dayuan, Dazhou, and Daqian dynasties, among others.

Mao Ruxue asked puzzledly, "What's wrong, senior brother? Do we need to stop here?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Chang'an replied, "No, let's keep going. The boundary of Zhongzhou City is just ahead."

"We can rest there directly."

"Oh, okay, senior brother," Mao Ruxue nodded.

She didn't understand why Chen Chang'an suddenly asked, but since there was nothing wrong, they continued to move forward.

Soon, the group arrived at the border of Zhongzhou City. There was a large mountain range connecting Zhongzhou City with the outside world.

Within this mountain range, various monsters roamed, and no one would venture into it unless necessary.

Even if a flying boat passed overhead, it would not be easy without a powerful Divine Ability user suppressing the demonic energy.

And now, Chen Chang'an and the others' flying boat happened to pass through this area.

Buzz~!

After arriving here, a majestic aura suddenly rose from Chen Chang'an's body, enveloping the entire flying boat.

"Control~!"

Mao Ruxue and Li Ziwan were responsible for controlling the direction.

They were not capable of resisting this level of demonic energy.

After doing all this, Chen Chang'an went back and asked someone to call him when they arrived.

"Senior brother, senior brother, look, there seems to be something happening below,"

However, shortly after returning to the room, Chen Chang'an heard Mao Ruxue calling him from outside.

"What's wrong, junior sister?" he asked as he walked out of Chang'an.

"Senior brother, look, there seems to be something happening below," Mao Ruxue led Chen Chang'an to the edge of the flying boat and looked down.

At a glance, Chen Chang'an immediately noticed the situation Mao Ruxue was referring to.

A group of merchant caravans in Xiafang Town was surrounded by monsters.

"Senior brother, should we go and help?" Mao Ruxue asked.

When Mao Ruxue asked, Li Ziwan also walked over, looking at Chen Chang'an with a worried and anxious expression.

Chen Chang'an didn't answer immediately. He stared at the merchant caravans below.

After realizing that the aura emanating from those caravans was pure, he nodded and said, "Let's go down and take a look."

The fact that their aura was pure indicated that they were not wicked individuals.

Since they were not wicked individuals, it was not unreasonable to lend a helping hand when they encountered difficulties.

"Yes, senior brother."

"Yes, senior uncle."

Mao Ruxue and Li Ziwan nodded happily.

As cultivators, they should uphold justice and righteousness, and eliminate evil and promote good.

If they encountered such a situation and didn't help, their future Dao hearts would be uneasy.

At the same time, in the Qilian Mountains below.

The situation of the caravan has become extremely critical, with a large number of monsters surrounding all the people in the caravan.

They have already launched attacks and are engaged in fierce battles with the guards, resulting in intense fighting.

"Miss, we have been surrounded by monsters. We will cover you, so please escape quickly."

Among the caravan surrounded by the demons, there is an exquisite carriage.

On the carriage, a flag with the character "Lin" written prominently.

At this moment, an old steward who looks like a butler comes to the front of the carriage and urgently speaks to a beautiful and gentle woman who is peering out from behind the curtain.

The old steward's face is filled with worry.

Outside, their guards and protectors have already suffered heavy casualties.

Even most of the survivors have lost their ability to fight.

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before they fall into the mouths of the monsters.

He has come over at this moment to remind the woman and see if there is any way to fight their way out.

"Uncle Xiang, I..."

Seeing this scene, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness.

This time, the family fought hard to secure this business, but unexpectedly encountered such a disaster on the way back.

Not only will the goods be lost, but now their lives and fortunes are also at stake.

This is a calamity brought upon my Lin family by the heavens.

"Miss, don't hesitate anymore. You and Cuier go first, we will cover you."

Just as Lin Qingxue was immersed in sorrow, the old steward spoke again.

Saying that, he looked towards the demons in the field who were constantly devouring the guards and servants, and roared as he rushed towards them.

"Damn it, when we came, we had already investigated and found that this road was very safe. You beasts, why did you target us?"

The old steward cursed as he killed his way through.

"Miss, let's go quickly, it's getting late."

After the old steward left, the maid Cuier hurriedly urged Lin Qingxue beside the carriage.

"Cuier, we can't leave."

Lin Qingxue looked at Cuier and shook her head.

"What? Miss?" Cuier didn't understand what Lin Qingxue meant.

"Roar~!"

However, before she could react much, she suddenly heard a terrifying roar in her ears.

Immediately after, a powerful wave of energy swept over them.

Boom~!

The next moment, they saw the carriage they were riding in being instantly blasted into pieces.

A terrifying monster had set its sights on them.

It was a tall and pitch-black monster, exuding boundless demonic energy.

The monster stared closely at Lin Qingxue and Cuier, baring its teeth and dripping crystal-clear liquid from its mouth.

It was obvious that it intended to devour the two of them!

Roar~!

Almost without giving the two of them any time to consider, it pounced towards them in the next moment.

"Ah~!"

Seeing the demonic dog pounce towards them, Lin Qingxue and Cui'er immediately covered their faces and screamed.

They were originally weak women who had not learned martial arts or the Dao. How could they deal with such a terrifying monster?

"Miss~!"

"Evil beast, how dare you!"

"Quick, protect the miss!"

The old butler also noticed the situation and immediately shouted loudly.

Around him, terrifying auras emerged one after another.

Unexpectedly, this was actually a Law Manifestation cultivator.

However, even as a Law Manifestation cultivator, he was helpless in the face of the current situation.

Not to mention that there were several monsters not inferior to him restraining him right now.

Even if he could rush over, he couldn't save Lin Qingxue and Cui'er at all.

It was so difficult to save someone from the hands of an opponent of the same level!

It was simply impossible!

"Am I going to die here today?"

On the other side, Lin Qingxue seemed to have realized her fate. Suddenly, a sense of despair rose from the bottom of her heart.

This time, the Lin family was truly doomed.

Thinking of this, she immediately closed her eyes and waited for death to come.

"Hmph! How dare a little thing hurt someone in front of me?"

"Noisy~!"

However, just as Lin Qingxue closed her eyes and waited for death, she suddenly heard a clear shout from the sky.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~!"

Then, Lin Qingxue only heard a series of whooshing sounds suddenly descending from the sky.

In the blink of an eye, she felt the killing intent that had surged towards her disappear.

There were no more roars from the monsters in her ears.

What happened?

Did someone save me?

Sensing that something was wrong, Lin Qingxue immediately became puzzled.

In her confusion, she quickly opened her eyes and looked around.

However, as soon as she looked, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The monster that had just been snarling and clawing at her was now lying motionless on the ground, dead!

There were irregular blood holes on its body, oozing blood.

It was as if it had been pierced by something.

How terrifying!

What's going on?

Seeing this scene, Lin Qingxue's confusion became even heavier.

She couldn't understand why this terrifying monster suddenly disappeared.

You should know that the level of this monster had already reached the Beast King level.

Even among the elders in the family, not everyone could defeat it.

And now it was killed in an instant?

What kind of terrifying existence was this?

Thinking of this, Lin Qingxue quickly looked up at the sky.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Suddenly, she saw a white-clad man stepping down from the sky not far above their heads.

Although the sky was empty, he walked as if on level ground.

The man held a white folding fan in his hand. Although he didn't fan it, his unparalleled temperament couldn't be concealed.

A peerless gentleman, extremely elegant.

The nine Celestial Immortals ruled the world.

How could there be such a person in this world?

Lin Qingxue admitted to herself that in her half a lifetime, she had never seen such a man.

"Sir, I am Lin Qingxue, the daughter of the Lin family in Zhongzhou. I accidentally encountered a monster attack and I beg Sir to lend a hand!"

"I will repay you generously afterwards."

In the next moment, her thoughts were brought back, and she looked at the other monsters still raging in the field.

Without much thought, she quickly shouted towards the sky, bowing respectfully.

This was completely a desperate move.

But there was no other way.

Their preparations for this trip were not sufficient.

If they couldn't find help, they would definitely suffer heavy losses today.

For now, all they could do was pray that the three people in the sky would help them.

"Descend~!"

However, she soon realized that her worries were unnecessary, and even her words seemed redundant.

Because in the instant the man descended, he took action.

She saw him point the folding fan in his hand forward.

Then, she didn't see any other movements from him.

The next moment.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A buzzing sound suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.

Then, Lin Qingxue was surprised to find that terrifying auras were gathering around the man.

That was a boundless white aura, strand by strand!

There were a lot of them, probably tens of thousands.

They descended along with the man's fall.

Lin Qingxue was very familiar with that white aura, it was Confucian aura, a majestic Confucian aura!

Buzz~!

In the next moment, those tens of thousands of majestic auras suddenly condensed into pure white flying swords when they arrived in mid-air.

The flying swords were majestic, each one exuding a terrifying aura.

It was as if they could cleave open the heavens and the earth.

"Annihilate~!"

Then, with a calm and light shout from the man, they instantly thundered down towards the earth below.

Boom~!

Whoosh~!

Whoosh~!

Whoosh~!

In an instant, the entire world was completely covered by this massive rain of swords.

On trees, rocks, the ground, in the valleys...

Every surface was a target for this vast group of flying swords to strike down upon.

They invaded and killed the monsters on the ground, without exception.

In the next moment, a one-sided massacre began.

Roar~!

Ao~!

Under the assault of these flying swords, those monsters had no chance to resist.

Each one was instantly killed upon contact.

Truly an instant kill.

Their bodies were abruptly severed into several pieces upon contact.

Roar~!

Ao~!

Under this sky filled with killing intent, those surviving monsters were instantly filled with fear.

Especially after witnessing the miserable fate of their companions, they all retreated.

They howled in agony, fearfully glancing at the sky, then turned and ran into the forest without looking back.

The speed at which the demons fled was very fast. In the blink of an eye, their figures could no longer be seen on the ground.

At this moment, the entire ground was left with nothing but bloodshed.

"What is this?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Xinxue was frightened, and the guards and the old housekeeper of the Lin family were also shocked.

Transforming aura into swords, slaughtering a group of demons with swords... Isn't this strength a bit too strong?

Who is this person?

The crowd did not know that the person who had just made a move was Chen Chang'an and his two companions, who had decided to come and take a look after seeing the situation here.

At this moment, the three of them had just arrived on the ground.

"I am Lin Qingxue, thank you three gentlemen for saving me."

The moment Chen Chang'an and his companions arrived on the ground, Lin Qingxue was the first to react. She quickly walked over and respectfully bowed to Chen Chang'an and his companions.

"Miss Lin, you don't have to be polite. We cultivators cultivate to eliminate demons and defend the righteous path in the world."

"Now that we have encountered you being harassed by monsters, it is natural for us to take action. You don't have to be so restrained."

Before Chen Chang'an could speak, Mao Ruxue stood up and said.

However, although she said that, after finishing her words, she still looked at Senior Brother Chen Chang'an until she saw him nod slightly, which confirmed her previous words.

At this moment, Chen Chang'an also spoke, looking at Lin Qingxue and saying:

"Miss Lin, there's no need for that. As my junior sister said, eliminating demons and defending the righteous path is what we cultivators should do."

"It's just a small matter. You don't have to be so restrained."

But Lin Qingxue shook her head at Chen Chang'an and said:

"No, I dare not forget the life-saving grace of the young master. Thank you very much for saving my life."

Even though she heard Chen Chang'an say this, Lin Qingxue still maintained her respect.

No one in this world will help you without hesitation.

Chen Chang'an only took action because he saw them in trouble. If she didn't remember this great kindness, what would be the difference between her and those monsters?

Okay.

Seeing Lin Qingxue's insistence, Chen Chang'an didn't say anything more.

Helping others to the end, Chen Chang'an, Mao Ruxue, and the others helped the Lin family's caravan clean up the mess.

After about half an hour of busyness, the caravan was finally ready to go.

The dead were buried on the spot, and the injured were treated.

"Miss Lin, I see that you are going to the Holy City, right?" After finishing all this, Chen Chang'an looked at the organized caravan and asked Lin Qingxue beside him.

Lin Qingxue nodded quickly and said, "Yes, young master. We came out this time to transport a batch of goods back to the Holy City. Now it's time to return to the Holy City."

"To be honest, our Lin family was entrusted by the important figures of Jixia Academy to customize and purchase some goods to be transported back to the Holy City."

"We have to deliver them today."

"Originally, we had inquired before coming here that there were no monsters here, but I don't know why we suddenly encountered this disaster."

"If it weren't for the young master's help, we might all be in pieces now."

Speaking of this, a trace of fear appeared in Lin Qingxue's eyes.

Death was really close this time.

If it weren't for Chen Chang'an's timely action, she might not be alive now.

"I see."

Chen Chang'an nodded immediately.

If he guessed correctly, the batch of goods that Lin Qingxue and the others were transporting was probably the supplies for the banquet held by Jixia Academy.

There was no need to guess anymore. Just by looking at the things revealed in the carriage behind, it could be confirmed without a doubt.
