With a flick of the finger, a ray of light shot out from between the fingers, and the fog at the entrance of the valley surged, and then a road was revealed that could allow one person to pass.
Soon, the sound of soft footsteps reached her ears. The girl had arrived outside the practice room and gently knocked on the door: "Master, Ying'er needs to see you for something."
"Come in."
After getting Lin Xuan's permission, the girl opened the door, moved lightly, came to the cave, and bowed to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan raised his head and glanced at her face. Although the girl had a smile on her lips, her eyes were obviously worried.
"Ying'er, you came to see me, what happened?"
"There is indeed some problem. I would like to ask the young master for instructions."
"Oh, could it be that Baixuan Pavilion encountered some trouble again?"
Lin Xuan had a rather surprised look on his face. Tianya Haige had already spread the word to Yunzhou, saying that they had formed an offensive and defensive alliance with Baixuan Pavilion.
In other words, the idea of worshiping Xuan Pavilion is tantamount to being an enemy of Tianya Hai Pavilion. Whoever has the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard dares to stroke the tiger's beard at this time.
Although Lu Ying'er's cultivation was only at the Dan Condensation stage, she was extremely smart. Looking at Lin Xuan's face, she could vaguely guess what he was thinking.
"Master, you misunderstood. It's not that we are in trouble, but Xin'er's side..."
"Xin'er?"
Lin Xuan couldn't help but be surprised, this was really unexpected.
Ever since the sudden change in the world, compared with other state capitals, Youzhou has become extremely poor in terms of spiritual energy and cultivation resources, as if it were a barbaric land.
That's why the big sect families moved away one after another, and the place was so weak that there wasn't even a single Nascent Soul cultivator.
Baixuan Pavilion unified Youzhou and became the unique overlord. Almost all the immortal cultivation world in Youzhou has been brought under their control.
Later, the two women came together and did not want to be trapped in the wild land of Youzhou for the rest of their lives, so Lu Ying'er came to Yunzhou to develop and left the affairs of Youzhou in Liu Xin's hands.
Although compared to Ying'er, Liu Xin has a weaker personality, but after so many years as the second pavilion master, she has gained some experience.
If you want her to set up a new branch like Ying'er, it may be a little insufficient to expand the territory while being surrounded by powerful enemies, but there is no problem at all in protecting the family business.
After all, Baixuan Pavilion dominates Youzhou, and there is no strong enemy there, so how could something unexpected happen.
Could it be an invasion by forces from other states?
Lin Xuan expressed his doubts to Lu Ying'er, and the girl's face was also full of confusion.
"I'm sorry, young master. Sister Xin'er is thousands of miles away and asked someone to bring back the news. However, the jade tube slip did not explain clearly. It only said that the other party has several Nascent Soul cultivators. Judging from the situation, it seems that they are from a large cultivator.
I don’t know where the family comes from, and I don’t have the slightest clue.” Lu Ying’er said with her lips slightly parted.
"It's ridiculous. We're under attack. We don't know who the enemy is. How did Xin'er become the Pavilion Master? Didn't she send someone to check the other party's details?" Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and said in a stern tone.
Although he is kind to his own people, he does not blindly favor them. As a superior, it is important to have clear rewards and punishments.
Xin'er's performance really disappointed him.
"Master, please calm down. Of course Sister Xin'er sent someone to investigate, but it's strange that the other party is very mysterious and can't find out any details."
"Could it be that if we didn't capture the prisoners, wouldn't everything be clear once we searched for their souls?"
"This... Of course Xin'er has tried it all, but it has no effect. The opponents, from low-level disciples in the agility stage to high-level monks in the elixir-condensing stage, seem to have been cast on some secret technique, and the soul-searching magical power has no effect on them.
."
"oh?"
Lin Xuan was stunned, his face suddenly darkened, and he put his hand on his forehead: "The soul-searching technique has no effect on low-level monks. The other party has tried their best to hide the origin of their cultivation. What's the trick in this?"
"My little maid doesn't know much either, so she came to ask the young master for advice." Lu Ying'er lowered her head and spoke respectfully.
"So what's the current situation in Youzhou?" Lin Xuan's deep voice reached his ears.
"Fortunately, although the other party has several Nascent Soul cultivators, I have been dominating Youzhou for hundreds of years. I have a profound foundation, which can be described as deep-rooted. If my cultivation is insufficient, I will make up for it with the number of people and the help of formations.
Assistance, for a moment, I am not at a disadvantage."
"Of course, we suffered some hardships in the early stage because we were caught off guard, but now, we are winning and losing, and we are basically in a stalemate."
Hearing what Ying'er said, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. That girl Xin'er finally did not disappoint him. Although it was not enough to make progress, she was more than capable of maintaining success.
"Master, please tell me what we should do now." Lu Ying'er straightened her hair, her voice was extremely smooth.
"First tell me, what are your plans?"
"Although I have a foothold in Yunzhou with the help of Tianya Haige, I am already established in Yunzhou, but my foundation is shallow after all. According to my wishes, there must be no room for loss in Youzhou. After all, there must always be a way out in everything. How can I give up so easily as the chief helmsman?"
Going?"
"You are right." Lin Xuan nodded, with a look of approval on his face: "Although we have formed an alliance with Tianya Haige, our own strength is the foundation. It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Others think that Youzhou is a barbaric place.
, but it is the foundation of our sect and cannot be lost."
"So my little maid is going to select elite disciples and return to Youzhou in person. Although my cultivation level is not high, but with the help of the Nascent Soul puppet you gave me, young master, I should be able to destroy the enemy." Lu Ying'er's lips parted slightly, and she opened her lips.
Planning to say it.
Of course, this is just a suggestion. Since the young master is at the helm, what to do will ultimately depend on his instructions.
"You plan to go back to Youzhou. This is inappropriate." Lin Xuan thought for a moment, but shook his head in denial.
"Why?" Lu Yinger raised her head in surprise, but her voice was still respectful and gentle.
"Didn't I tell you that I was going to let Tianya Haige take over the deal with Kuijindao Fangshi? There are so many things to do without you. Although Yun'er is here, she can't do it alone, let alone Yun'er's cultivation.
Although my talent is higher, I am not as good as you in handling sect affairs."
"But if I don't go, over there in Youzhou..."
"Don't worry about Youzhou, I will handle the matter there myself."
"What, Master, you want to go in person?"
Lu Ying'er was shocked, but there were only a few Nascent Soul cultivators, the young master actually wanted to do it himself: "This... this is too troublesome for you."
"What's the point in this? Why should I be polite to my own people? Besides, I haven't been back to Youzhou for more than a hundred years. Now that I think about it, there seem to be some secrets there. I just want to deal with them this time."
"secret?"
Lu Ying'er was confused, but the girl was obedient and didn't ask further.
