<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, his divine consciousness spread out. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They were currently in a supermassive city, one that, in his opinion, might even surpass the scale of the Divine Dan Sect's Dan City. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A sharp, sword-like aura faintly rose from all directions throughout the city. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Most of the buildings had a sword emblem on them.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This place was located in the northernmost part of the Emperor's Realm. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">On the outskirts of the city, towering snow-capped mountains loomed. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Fortunately, most of the people here were cultivators. If ordinary people came, they would probably freeze to death in this city.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen frowned again. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even though this city had a massive spirit gathering formation, the spiritual energy here was nothing special. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In fact, it was inferior to that of Dan City. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The northern region was a harsh, cold land, and building a sect here was somewhat difficult to understand. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At least in his view, major sects like the Divine Dan Sect would never choose such a location for their headquarters.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Sensing their confusion, Lin Ying took the initiative to explain, "The Sword Land is mainly composed of sword cultivators. For sword cultivators, perseverance is more important than talent. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In such a harsh and cold environment, it might be more difficult for cultivators to advance in the early stages, but it undoubtedly tempers one's willpower. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In the later stages of cultivation, it will become highly beneficial,"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Upon hearing Lin Ying's explanation, Su Jingzhen remained skeptical. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He knew that this couldn't be the main reason. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, if they really wanted to temper their disciples' willpower, they could simply create a similar secret realm within the sect. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A harsh, cold land was just that-a place where natural energy and luck were unlikely to be strong. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">There had to be another reason for establishing the sect here, but Su Jingzhen naturally didn't press further at this time.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Everyone, please follow me to my residence. The Sword Land headquarters has many forbidden areas, so it's best not to wander around. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If you encounter the Sword Land enforcers, even I might not be able to protect you," 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying said to the ten of them as they left the teleportation platform. Her tone was serious.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In the past few days, the Sword Qi Corridor was about to open on a large scale, and many outsiders had flocked to the Sword Land headquarters. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As a result, Sword Land's patrols had become extremely strict. If any problems arose, even she as a saintess might not be able to handle the consequences.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen and the others nodded silently, not wanting to cause any unnecessary trouble at this time.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Along the way, many Sword Land disciples bowed respectfully to Lin Ying, indicating that even as the lowest-ranked saintess, her status within the Sword Land was still quite high.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, as they were leaving the teleportation place, a group of about ten people blocked their way. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The leader, dressed in a green robe, had a pale complexion that suggested excessive indulgence. He looked at Lin Ying with a playful expression.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Ying'er, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here. Have you just come out of the teleportation array? Are these the assistants you found? They don't look like much," the green-robed man said, waving a folding fan in his hand. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His tone was extremely frivolous, and his use of "Ying'er" was overly familiar, as if the two were intimately close.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he spoke, he opened his fan, revealing images of several stunningly beautiful women. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In the center was none other than Lin Ying herself. The pictures on the fan were alluring and provocative.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing the fan, Lin Ying's aura surged and her face filled with anger.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Tear this wretched fan to pieces right now!" 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying's icy voice rang out.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The green-robed man's smile didn't falter. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Why so rash? Every time I see you, Ying'er, you get so excited. I, Chen Lang, only paint beauties on my Qiankun fan, and I've put you right in the middle. Don't you understand my feelings?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His words were dripping with flirtation, and his teasing intent was unmistakable.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"You're asking for death!" 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying's body erupted with sharp sword energy, instantly enveloping Chen Lang.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Ying'er, there's no need for this. It's just a picture of a beauty. Every time, you act like you want to devour me," 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chen Lang said, still smiling. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He even deliberately opened the fan again. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although his words seemed conciliatory, the auras of him and his companions also surged, as if they were waiting for Lin Ying to make the first move.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This was the Sword Land headquarters, and Chen Lang and his group were not from the Sword Land, yet they showed no fear as if they had ample confidence.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing this, Su Jingzhen frowned. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He didn't understand the significance of being painted on Chen Lang's fan, but he could tell that these people were deliberately provoking Lin Ying. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">There was clearly some history between Lin Ying and them, and this time, they had come prepared. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If Lin Ying lost her temper and attacked them, she would likely suffer a great loss.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">During this special period, the Sword Land would not prohibit such conflicts among its disciples. In fact, it seemed to tacitly encourage them to do so.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, Su Jingzhen only wanted to enter the Sword Qi Corridor as soon as possible and avoid any unnecessary complications. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If a conflict broke out, as Lin Ying's helpers, they would inevitably be dragged into it. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">And if a fight broke out, Su Jingzhen didn't want to lose. This would mean exposing some of their abilities, which was something he did not want to do.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He glanced at Shengana, who understood his intention. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without even pulling out her staff, a gentle emerald green energy enveloped Lin Ying. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Under this soothing energy, Lin Ying immediately calmed down.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Miss Lin, calm down. These people will probably enter the Sword Qi Corridor later, right? Whatever problems you have can be solved inside. Any conflict before that isn't worth it," 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's calm voice sounded in Lin Ying's ear.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Her aura settled immediately, but her heart was in turmoil. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She knew how agitated she had been just moments ago, yet Shengana's simple act had completely calmed her down. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even now, looking at the alluring image of herself on the Qiankun Fan, she could remain composed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">What kind of power is this? What kind of support is this?

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying was both shocked and ecstatic. She realized that this time, she hadn't just stumbled upon a treasure-she had hit the jackpot.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Earlier, the Lin Clan patriarch had shown her a spiritual projection of Su Jingzhen and his companions' performance in the illusions on the Divine Demon Staircase. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shengana hadn't revealed her elven form, and her current appearance was rather plain. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying had initially thought that Shengana was the most ordinary of the three. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But with a single move, Shengana had completely overshadowed Lin Ying's anger towards Chen Lang.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying's expression remained calm as she ignored Chen Lang's continued teasing. Taking a deep breath, she turned to Su Jingzhen and the others with a smile on her face.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zou, Fellow Daoist Shen. I lost my composure earlier. Indeed, there's no need to pay attention to flies. Let's go."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With that, Lin Ying didn't even glance at Chen Lang and his group again. She led Su Jingzhen and the others around them and continued toward her residence.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing this, Chen Lang and his companions were visibly surprised. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chen Lang frowned, never expecting that his tried-and-true method would fail to provoke Lin Ying this time. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His gaze shifted to Su Jingzhen and Shengana behind Lin Ying, realizing that they were the reason for this change. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
