"It’s finally over," Lu Yang let out a long sigh of relief, the battle between the semi-immortals had frightened him terribly.

"Since when have you been such a coward?" Fairy Eternity looked at Lu Yang with puzzlement.

"Remember when I battled Miss Yun, you weren’t this scared."

That was a genuine Immortal battle, compared to their skirmish, what were those two semi-immortals? Nothing but a village brawl.

Lu Yang: "..."

It made sense, but something still felt off.

"Good thing you invited Eldest Senior Sister," Meng Jingzhou was also shaken by the battle, without her, their journey would likely have ended in disaster.

"Amitabha, no wonder I could not defeat Senior Sister Yun," Shi Chan finally understood why his master had said not to provoke Yun Zhi.

Lu Yang had introduced the Heavenly Court Sect to Shi Chan, who already knew that Eldest Senior Sister was the Sect Master.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou turned their heads in surprise to look at Shi Chan, their faces filled with disbelief, "You fought with Eldest Senior Sister?"

Shi Chan, who answered every question, calmly said, "When I went to Seek Dao Sect to study, I once challenged Senior Sister Yun, but unfortunately, I never won."

Realizing that Shi Chan had done something so foolhardy, the two men saluted him with admiration. Truly a high monk, his courage was extraordinary.

"Is everything all right now, young heroes?" Fu Ling asked cautiously, during the battle they had barely dared to breathe.

Lu Yang nodded, "Chunjiang City is now safe."

With Eldest Senior Sister there, no demon or ghost could cause trouble.

"Will you continue to train your Mind State here?" Lu Yang asked Shi Chan.

Shi Chan shook his head slightly. The incident was over, but the brothel would not reopen for a while and he had no desire to do so. As such, he needed to find a new place to train his Mind State.

"Then I’ll wish you success in advance," Lu Yang said with a beaming smile, saluting him. He and Old Meng still had to find Eldest Senior Sister and could not accompany Shi Chan.

"The monk thanks the two Senior Brothers for their kindness."

The second floor of the inn had become completely open-air, with wooden shards flying everywhere, a complete mess.

Lu Yang picked up a piece of wood, apparently part of the roof, used his finger as a sword, and in a few strokes carved it into the shape of a wooden sword, engraving the characters "Lu Yang" at the hilt.

He carved two wooden swords, one for each of the Fu Ling sisters.

"This wooden sword contains a Sword Qi of mine, useful for self-defense; evil spirits dare not approach. If you encounter danger, the released attack is as powerful as a full strike from the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Stage. If you run into any difficulties in the future, you can also bring the wooden sword to Seek Dao Sect to find me."

According to Fairy Eternity, using the sisters’ connection to perform magic skill to find Twin River, the sisters would not sense it.

It’s best not to let the two sisters know about Twin River; knowing could easily bring disaster upon themselves.

The sisters carefully put away the wooden swords and thanked Lu Yang. These were invaluable protective talismans that could save their lives at a critical moment.

Seeing Lu Yang giving gifts with such seriousness, Meng Jingzhou wanted to give something as well.

But then he thought, besides Yang Invigorating Blood or Spirit Stones, he didn’t have anything suitable for a gift.

After thinking, he made a promise, "If in the future you need Spirit Stones, feel free to borrow from the Meng Family."

The three men bid farewell to the sisters and then saw the heartbroken innkeeper.

A fine inn, now only the first floor can house people. Even though the dynasty provides disaster relief funds to rebuild the inn, it will take a long time.

The benevolent young master Meng gave the innkeeper some spirit stones as compensation for lost wages.

The three of them then went to bid farewell to City Lord Liu.

After such an incident in Chunjiang City, they could forget about the casual dinner promised for the evening. City Lord Liu was as busy as a spinning top, maintaining order and relief efforts within the city while also having to compose official reports to the authorities above.

When the three visited, they happened to witness One Qi Venerable showcasing his mighty prowess, battling fiercely against the vice-leader of the Body Integration Realm from Night Pavilion, leaving the vice-leader battered and bruised.

The trio parted ways outside the city, going their separate directions, with Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou heading to a small hill thirty miles east of the city as per Eldest Senior Sister’s instructions.

...

When Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou reached the small hill, they coincidentally arrived as Eldest Senior Sister was conducting a simple interrogation to clarify the identities of the two ancient supremes.

Eldest Senior Sister had set up an array method around the hill, causing outsiders to unconsciously stay away from the area.

"So that means, one of you is Nightmare Supreme from the end of Great Qian era, and the other is Void Venerate from the end of Great Yu era?"

"There’s no need for such formality, senior, you can just call me Little Dream."

"And you can call me Little Void."

The two Venerates were as earnest as they could be.

Under someone else’s roof, one has no choice but to bow their head, and both ancient supremes were outstanding figures of their times, never showing stubbornness when it was time to admit weakness.

From an era perspective, Sect Leader Yun is a being from the ancient era, which predates theirs, and in terms of cultivation level, she is an Immortal, surpassing them in power.

Addressing her as a senior had no issues whatsoever.

"Eldest Senior Sister, the matter on our end has been resolved," they reported.

Eldest Senior Sister took out the imperial seat brought by Lu Yang from Demon City. Siting in the seat, she calmly inquired about the course of events.

"Let’s hear the full story. I remember Junior Brother Meng, before you left, you asked Junior Brother Dai about the black market information and even promised ’to absolutely not cause trouble for at least the next half a year.’

She had accidentally heard these words from Dai Bufan.

Unexpectedly, not even half a year had passed, barely half a month, and it led to a great battle between two ancient semi-immortals.

Meng Jingzhou repeatedly claimed his innocence, wanting to clarify the matter:

"Eldest Senior Sister, the truth must be recognized. Old Lu and I were both victims."

"With the intention of independent entrepreneurship, I left the black market after making my first fortune in life, and happened to encounter Shi Chan soliciting alms on the way out. Seeing him down-and-out, in difficult living circumstances, out of concern from a fellow sect member, we decided to accompany Shi Chan in his worldly cultivation of the mind state."

"In Chunjiang City, the three of us acted heroically, saving two sisters multiple times, providing the government office with a clue about an assassin organization, and peacefully resolving the conflict involving four Nascent Soul Stage monsters, allowing them to coexist peacefully in one place."

"The city lord, upon learning about our deeds, even took the initiative to invite us to dinner."

With firm conviction, Meng Jingzhou pointed at the two venerates kneeling on the ground and shouted, "It is clearly these two who caused trouble out of nothing, insisting on battling in Chunjiang City. We are the true victims."

"Their wanton battle tore off the roof of the inn we were staying in, completely disregarding the innkeeper’s feelings."

"Even the innkeeper’s losses were compensated by me on their behalf!"

Lu Yang also chimed in with support, "Right, these two not only brawled in a public place but also took criminals hostage, openly shielding criminal organizations and attempting to steal ancient treasures. They have committed every conceivable crime, an extensive list too long to record!"
