Chapter 319: Chapter 318: Friends Arrive from Afar

Because Xie Jiuniang once again entered seclusion.

A conspiring plot against her that was brewing in the shadows, was suddenly forced to be delayed.

"Weren’t you out of seclusion just a few days ago?"

The Lin Family patriarch returned and finally quelled the family’s turmoil, subduing some restless clan members.

The Lin Family originally had three Divinity Transformation experts.

An incident in the Central Region’s Longyuan Abyss earlier, with Tianxu Sect taking the lead, pressured seven families to each send a Divinity Transformation expert to guard the border for a hundred years.

Therefore, after Lin Lu’s death, the Lin Family was left with only one Divinity Transformation expert in residence.

Then, Lin Family patriarch Lin Ao expressed his concerns to the other aristocratic families, speculating that the force in the shadows would probably target the Lin Family.

As a result, they adjusted their plans.

Several Divinity Transformation experts lurked outside Yaoguang City, waiting silently for their prey.

But there was no movement.

Instead, they received news that Xie Jiuniang had once again entered seclusion.

She would emerge from seclusion from time to time, as if toying with them. Just as they were meticulously prepared and about to launch their attack, she would conveniently retreat into seclusion again.

It made a large group of people waiting to kill her look like a joke.

This time was no different.

They were already prepared.

Just as they were about to make their move, Xie Jiuniang inexplicably went into seclusion again.

"Does she know we exist?" Someone finally couldn’t help but question.

The people present fell silent.

It was a great possibility.

Even though they acted very covertly, Lin Lu’s ambush proved one thing— their movements might have long been noticed by someone else.

At this moment, a Mo Family Divinity Transformation expert said, "Shaluo has sent a message saying that she was monitored by a powerful figure from Tianxu Sect in Xi’an City. To avoid conflict, she did not leave the inn."

"The Divinity Transformation experts from various Great Sects are currently heading to Tianxu Sect. It is under the pretense that Tianxu Sect wants to hold a grand Divinity Transformation ceremony in the name of Chaoyan."

These people didn’t believe that things were that simple.

Besides enhancing her strength during her seclusions, Xie Jiuniang also had to feed the Great Sun Golden Flame.

Every now and then, she would perform a prediction.

A Golden Core fifth layer prediction could last up to forty days, and as for the duration of time she could retrospect, she specifically tested it and was able to go back thirty-two years in the past.

From her predictions, she learned the movements of those family Divinity Transformation experts—they actually planned to lie in ambush in Yaoguang City.

This was quite interesting.

It’s a pity that she had no plans to take action lately— too much of a good thing can be bad.

Today, Xie Jiuniang activated her clairvoyance.

It was a natural prediction, not something she desired to do.

[Inside the cave dwelling, she was meditating and nurturing the Great Sun Golden Flame.

The Sword Spirit Jian Lingyan came again to protest, being sour and using all sorts of sly tricks, until Xie Jiuniang took out a Spirit Crystal and finally shut it up.

Then, Jian Lingyan informed her that there was a Sound Transmission Talisman outside the formation.

Xie Jiuniang went out and received the Sound Transmission Talisman.

The sender turned out to be...]

Xie Jiuniang emerged from her clairvoyance, her face flickering with surprise.

Since the clairvoyance session was short, her spiritual power was hardly consumed.

Next, she followed the cultivation from the clairvoyance to restore the expended spiritual power, and then circulated her cultivation technique for several grand circulations.

Inside the cave dwelling, a sword and a little fatty were having a ball.

Usually, it was the Broken Sword flying around.

The little fatty followed, giggling with laughter.

When the Broken Sword plunged headfirst into the Spiritual Jade Pot filled with wine, the little fatty jumped in after it, splashing and causing the liquor to scatter everywhere. If it were a real child, Xie Jiuniang might have been frightened enough to yank the child out, but this was a fake child, a little Artifact Spirit.

So, she let the sword and the child play.

Fortunately, the cave dwelling was soundproof, and no noise from inside could be heard outside. No matter how boisterous it got inside, it was silent to the outside world.

Xie Jiuniang, following her prophetic knowledge, fed her Dantian’s spiritual power to the Golden Sunflame.

Whoosh!

Broken Sword suddenly flew out from the pool of wine.

With a swish, it appeared in front of Xie Jiuniang.

"You have to keep things level, you can’t just nourish that fire and ignore me," Jian Lingyan said with a seemingly fierce but actually very frail and childish voice, "Otherwise, I’ll get angry."

"And what happens when you get angry?"

"Anyway, I’m just angry!"

As prophesied, this guy would throw a tantrum and resort to all kinds of shameless acts, not stopping until he got his way, crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang himself, disgustingly devious.

Xie Jiuniang watched Broken Sword’s performance with amusement.

Just as Broken Sword was about to give up, Xie Jiuniang slowly asked a question, "You cur, tell me the truth, who taught you to act like this, and I’ll give you a Spirit Crystal."

"Deal," it said.

Jian Lingyan flew up gleefully, "It was Xuanyuan You, he taught me."

Xie Jiuniang, "..."

This truly was an unexpected outcome!

So frustrating!

She stuffed Broken Sword back into the Contract Space to properly digest the Spirit Crystal.

After draining the spirit veins of two families, Jian Lingyan had mostly recovered, but the broken tip of the sword was an irreparable flaw.

Anyway, there’s no hope for it in this realm.

Without waiting for Jian Lingyan’s reminder, Xie Jiuniang stood up first and walked to the entrance of her dwelling, in front of the Array Barrier.

Indeed, it only took a few breaths.

A Sound Transmission Talisman flew in.

She raised her hand to catch it, then crushed the Sound Transmission Talisman.

The buoyant voice of a girl burst out, "Hey! Xiaojiu, your big sis Baoer is here to see you, hurry up and welcome me, hahaha..."

Hearing this voice made Xie Jiuniang’s eyelid twitch.

Should she continue pretending to be in seclusion, having not received the Sound Transmission Talisman?

Just as she was considering this, another Sound Transmission Talisman arrived, still carrying the cheerful voice of Song Baobao, "Hurry up! I’ve informed Xuanyuan You, we need to have a good get-together, and I’ve especially brought a high-grade Demonic Beast egg! Just as we promised before..."

Xie Jiuniang discarded the thought of pretending to be in seclusion.

Demonic Beast eggs were quite enticing, especially the high-grade ones.

Another Sound Transmission Talisman came flying in, and Xie Jiuniang thought it was still from Song Baobao, but after checking, she found out it was from Xuanyuan You.

"Little Profiteer! Come out of seclusion already, Song the Fool is here, and he’s brought a high-grade beast egg, saying he wants to treat us to roasted eggs!" Xuanyuan You’s voice clearly expressed excitement.

For Song Baobao.

The three of them had originally agreed to roast a high-grade beast egg in the Secret Realm.

The agreement hadn’t been fulfilled; in the end, it was her and Xuanyuan You who went to roast the egg, and Xie Jiuniang automatically ignored the part about being chased by high-grade Demonic Beasts.

All she remembered was the taste of the high-grade beast egg!

Damn, it was delicious!

Xie Jiuniang did not go to meet them immediately; she had to consider that she was supposed to be in seclusion. To leave seclusion every time a friend visited would be like telling everyone that her seclusion was fake.

So, Xie Jiuniang dawdled.

She dawdled for a good while, until it was almost evening outside.

The Array Barrier was adorned with a string of Sound Transmission Talismans.

Almost all of them were sent by Song Baobao and Xuanyuan You.

The last one was unexpectedly from...

"Little Profiteer, I got Elder Dashan to give a few jars of wine to entertain Song the Fool, and I’m putting it on your tab." Was Xuanyuan You opening some kind of meridian? How did he learn to freeload off her?

Xie Jiuniang changed into a new Vestment robe of a Sect Disciple.

After combing her hair, she created a Water Mirror.

Looking left and right, feeling that she was presentable, she then backhandedly placed her hands behind her, held her head high, puffed out her chest, and walked out of her dwelling.
