On the street, Lin Yue was stunned to see the twelve wisps of smoke being dispersed by the wind.

The scholar continued to recite a poem along the way, and as he walked forward, he had already reached the heart of the street. He slowly stopped, turned around, smiled at Lin Yue, and said: "Little brother, can you invite this old man to have a drink?"

Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, he was shocked, immediately came down from the roof, clasped his hands at the scholar, and said respectfully: "Thank you senior for saving me, junior Lin Yue will repay you in the future!"

The scholar shook his head in displeasure and said, "You brat, I'll make you treat me to a drink now. You said that you would repay me in the future. You are cheating!"

Lin Yue scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "This junior did not bring any wine nor money with me."

"So it's like that. He's even poorer than me. What a waste. Then …" "If fate wills it, see you again." The scholar's face was full of pity as he shook his head before walking off into the distance.

Lin Yue was stunned, this scholar was extremely unrestrained, all the way to and fro, as though he was a god leaving and leaving.

Seeing that the scholar was about to disappear, Lin Yue suddenly became alarmed, and immediately shouted out: "Senior, I wonder if you could tell me your name, in the future, I will definitely return the favor!"

The scholar did not turn his head and only waved his hand a few times. His voice was light as he said, "There's no need to say much. We will meet again. When that time comes, you must treat me to a drink!"

With that, the figure turned around the corner and disappeared under the moonlight.

Lin Yue blankly stared at the empty long street. He was shocked and also felt that it was quite unbelievable.

This scholar's actions and actions were hard to fathom. His final sentence, that they would meet again, made Lin Yue ponder deeply, and went to an unknown place to meet.

These kind of people, even if they were to step all over the Pan'gu Continent, they would not see another one.

The night wind was soft and cold.

Lin Yue suddenly remembered that Zheng Wan had been thrown out by him, her expression changed as she thought that it was really bad, she immediately shook her head and put this matter aside, and quickly rushed to the bustling area ahead.

Therefore, Zheng Wan was safe and sound, there were no accomplices to the assassination.

Upon seeing Lin Yue's return, Zheng Wan immediately burst into tears, threw herself into Lin Yue's embrace and tightly hugged his neck, not willing to let go. She was afraid that the moment she let go, Lin Yue would send her away.

Lin Yue comforted his as he lifted his hand to wipe away the crystal clear tears on Zheng Wan's face and said warmly: "If I can't protect my woman, what other martial arts do I, Lin Yue, practice my divine body for? My most important cultivation goal, is to protect those who love me. However, if I abandon you and run away on my own, then in this life, I'm afraid that my heart will no longer pursue you.

Zheng Wan raised her head, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Lin Yue, and said softly: "But in my heart, I hope that you can continue living well. I also hope that you can be protected from any harm, for you to do this for me, how can I be at ease?"

Lin Yue was silent. This kind of thing, after a while, he shook his head and said, "No matter what, I am just doing my duty. You are still too weak.

After he finished speaking, Lin Yue held Zheng Wan's hand, looked at the bright lights in front of them and said, "The night is too late, let's go back."

Zheng Wan nodded and followed behind Lin Yue.

However, a glint flashed in her eyes, as she thought to herself: "It's all because I'm too weak, that's why hubby can't focus on facing enemies. I must properly cultivate, or at least have the power to protect myself!"

But it was limited to talent, Zheng Wan's Martial Soul was a spirit plant, they were not good at attacking, which meant, her fighting strength in the martial way, would definitely not be too high, even if she were to level up, her fighting strength was still very weak.

Zheng Wan followed Lin Yue and walked along, pondering about ways to improve himself along the way. After returning to the inn, Lin Yue went back to cultivate by sitting cross-legged and she too returned to his room. He sat on the bedside and thought about it silently.

In the darkness, there was light shining through the panes, causing the ground to turn yellow, like a sunset.

Looking at the moonlight on the ground, he could see that the wind was blowing. The branches swayed in the wind, messing up the moonlight. The light on the ground curled up like flames.

"Flames?"

Zheng Wan suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up.

She raised her hand and looked at her slender, jade-like fingers. The lush, tender fingers were sparkling and translucent.

Zheng Wan closed her eyes slightly. The Genuine Essence began to move and a faint blue flame started to burn at the tip of her fingers. This flame was very small, but it was very pure, like a blue stream of light.

"Right now, my Netherworld Ghost Flame is only at the first level. It can only harm people at the fifth level of the Martial Master realm. If I can refine it to the extreme, then what should I do?"

Thinking back to when she had burned a Martial Master to ashes in the vast and deep mountains near the Netherworld Sect, relying on the Netherworld Ghost Flame. The power of this flame was overbearing and cruel, causing even herself to feel fear.

However, her alchemy realm was not high and her demand for Spiritual Fire s was not high. She also did not treat the Netherworld Ghost Flame as a killing technique and had not deliberately trained these past few days.

However, thinking about it now, this kind of Spiritual Fire could be considered her strongest attack.

"How stupid I am! With my innate talent, when refining Spirit Pill, I will definitely need purer flames. Rather than waiting until I use them to practice, it would be better to first finish refining the Spiritual Fire right now, then use it to refine pills in the future, and then use it to defend myself and kill enemies! "

Zheng Wan understood this point, and her expression immediately revealed joy, as she fell back onto the bed, and hugged her blanket, falling asleep from exhaustion.

In the next few days, the competition for the Leader Board became more and more exciting, and gradually entered into a wonderful state.

The second phase had five hundred people!

Third phase, five hundred people!

Fourth phase, five hundred people!

The competition for the first four stages had already completely ended. The next stage would be for cultivators with a cultivation level of the fifth stage to participate!

The injuries on Lin Yue's body had completely healed, and he had also mastered the sword arts he had comprehended from battle. He was more familiar with the use of Taiyi Empyrean Sword, and with the help of the golden right hand, his fighting strength had already reached the ninth stage of the Martial Master realm or even Martial Master!

The cultivation levels of the fifth level cultivators were generally the peak of the eighth level and the ninth level of the Martial Master realm. They could be considered not bad even when they were at the early stage of the Martial Master.

Lin Yue was not too worried about the upcoming battle.

He didn't understand who it was that wanted to kill him.

It should not be that Princess Qin Xi. If the other party wanted to kill him, they could have done so in Weiyang Residence. Furthermore, from their meeting, Lin Yue could feel that this woman was not a person who went back on his words.

He thought of that Prefecture Overseer Zhang Daozhi. Although Zhang Daozhi had such a motive, he was only a Prefecture Overseer. He absolutely could not deploy twelve assassins like that.

Furthermore, how could a Prefecture Overseer dare to frame the princess?

Lin Yue thought about it, and he still couldn't understand, but he knew that this kind of situation would not end there. If he didn't kill him this time, that person would definitely use some other method, and he just needed to wait.

Finally, the competition for the fifth grade began. Amongst the spectators, Zheng Wan and the others were cheering for him.

Lin Yue nodded and revealed a gentle smile. He activated the order badge in his hand and with a flash of green light, he entered the Combat Chamber.

He had reached the 9th level of the Martial Disciple realm, and his body was surging with a strong metallic luster. It seemed like he was a very typical metal element cultivator, and the attacking power of this kind of cultivator was first class. He could easily break through the enemy's defense, and in a one on one fight, his chances of winning were very high.

The battle had just begun, and it was just as Lin Yue had expected. This disciple had lifted his hand, and his every move was emitting a sharp metallic light, while his Spirit Weapon was shining with even more resplendent light.

Relying on the agility of the Ghost Step, as well as the prediction of the Eye of Asura and the Ten-direction Spirit Fox, Lin Yue would never go head to head with him.

The disciple looked terrified, as though he did not expect Lin Yue to be like a ghost and to be able to determine his position. In his panic, the Sword Qi became fiercer and fiercer, and the number of flaws on his body increased.

Finally, Lin Yue managed to grab hold of an opportunity, and caught the Ink Sword right in front of his opponent. The man was not in time to retract his arm, and with a pu ci sound, his arm automatically crashed into the sword tip, splitting it in half.

Lin Yue cupped his hands towards the man. Although he was gnashing his teeth, he knew that Lin Yue had shown mercy. He bowed fiercely and picked up the treasure and rushed out of the secret room, admitting defeat and leaving.

In the ancient building, Qin Zheng looked at the scene in the mirror, slightly nodded, and said: "Even though he is strong, he is not weak, and his arrogance is not severe at all. "Huainan, how is the progress of my orders?"

Huai Nan quickly took a step forward and said respectfully, "Monarch, I've already sent Eunuch Hu to express my goodwill according to the honored tutor's instructions. If I want this young master to have a good impression of our Eastern Tang, then recruiting him will be twice the result and half the effort."

Qin Zheng nodded and praised, "That's right, Tutor, this method is very good.

The Marquis Lingxiao standing at the back had his head lowered, but there was a slight change in his expression. However, everyone was watching the competition and no one was paying attention to him.
