To take a step back, if necessary, seeking help from the two Jindan stage masters enshrined in the family would be enough to make the other party give up without any further effort.

During a conversation, a general learned a shocking fact about the instability of space cracks that caused monsters from other worlds to invade the human world.

He was surprised by this because even the two Jindan immortal masters in his mansion had never mentioned this matter.

Just as he was about to ask further questions, Chen Yun suddenly made a clear sound like a dragon's roar, which was small but clearly audible.

Everyone present was shocked by the sudden voice and looked at Chen Yun.

Then, a green light flashed on Chen Yun's body, and he disappeared from the chair in an instant.

The two women were startled and looked around hurriedly, only to find that Chen Yun had appeared outside the tea stall, staring at the sky with a serious expression.

"Did Fellow Daoist Chen encounter any problems? Is there a magic weapon in your body? Are you a cultivator in the Jindan stage?"

Miss Wang asked in a low voice, a look of shock on her face.

Cao Mengrong, who was standing aside, tightly grasped a handkerchief, looked at Chen Yun with a pale face, and said nothing.

"Nothing serious. I just felt an old friend flying through the air, but unfortunately he was too fast and I couldn't catch up with him."

"As for the sound just now, it was indeed my natal flying sword that was causing trouble. I'm sorry to have embarrassed General Wang and the two fellow Taoists."

"But in this case, I'm afraid I can't go with you, because I have urgent matters to attend to."

Chen Yun's expression calmed down, he turned around, clasped his fists towards the three people, and said with a hint of apology.

Then, without waiting for others to respond, Chen Yun stomped his feet and turned into a long green rainbow, breaking through the air.

This scene happened to be seen by several vendors nearby. They immediately knelt on the ground in panic and shouted loudly:

"Master! A master just flew into the sky..."

There was also a commotion in the nearby teahouses, and people rushed out to watch.

After a short rest, Chen Yun appeared on the top of a low mountain.

Gazing from afar, the towering city gate was looming in sight, with cars and people busying about in front of the gate, but his expression was as solemn as leaden clouds.

"Let go of your worries for now."

Deep in his heart, the voice of Lord Dayan conveyed the message calmly and rationally:

"Since it has been confirmed that the demon is indeed hiding in the territory of Dajin, this may be an unexpected clue."

"The opportunity to take back the flying sword will always come, but now is not the best time to make a move."

"Your cultivation has not yet fully recovered, and you have not yet successfully refined the Three Flame Fan."

"Even if the demon was severely injured before, he has probably recovered most of his strength with his evil magic of absorbing souls and elixirs. The chances of winning in a head-on confrontation are not optimistic."

"What you said is absolutely right. Even if I really catch up with him now, I only have about a 10% chance of taking back the flying sword. The power of the ancient demon is indeed extraordinary."

"I was anxious to retrieve the flying sword to set up the Great Geng Sword Formation. It was really because of my impatience."

"It seems that we can only wait until your puppet and the fan are finished before we fight this ancient demon."

"However, this demon seemed to be in a hurry to deal with important matters, and fled all the way without noticing our presence."

"But he was clearly helpless against the two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords. He could neither subdue them nor give them up."

"After all, these two flying swords are made of ten thousand year old golden thunder bamboo as the main material, and they are combined with two rare materials, refining crystal and Gengjing. Their power far exceeds that of ordinary magic weapons."

"If you want to destroy this sword, you have to consume a lot of your energy and slowly refine it with magic fire. This demon will never do such a thankless task." Chen Yun said with a sneer.

Dayan God said with emotion:
"That's true. But then again, if you can devote your whole heart to cultivating those dozens of flying swords with infant fire for four or five hundred years and then form a sword formation, their power may be comparable to that of spiritual treasures."

He lamented that even at the height of his glory, he had never dreamed of using such precious materials to refine his own magical weapon.

Chen Yun sighed softly, expressing his opinion on the impracticability of spending most of his life on cultivating magic weapons. He smiled bitterly and pointed out that he would not do so.

In this regard, a senior admired his prudence and lamented that if he had been half as cautious as Chen Yun when he was young, he would have reached the Spirit Transformation Stage long ago.

The senior reminded Chen Yun that an evil force had appeared in Jinjing and was very likely to be involved in the upcoming auction, so Chen Yun must remain vigilant and avoid exposing his identity.

Chen Yun expressed his gratitude to his predecessors and promised to act with caution.

He originally planned to use the resources of General Zhunan's Mansion to learn relevant information about the auction, but now it seems that he needs to investigate it himself.

He recalled that there was a restaurant belonging to the Feng family in Jinjing, and decided to go there first to inquire about the situation in order to avoid staying in an inn and attracting unnecessary attention.

After tidying up his clothes, Chen Yun walked down the mountain and headed towards the magnificent city gate in the distance.

Although Jinjing City was praised as magnificent by mortals and low-level cultivators, in Chen Yun's eyes.

Compared with the largest city he had ever seen - Chaos Star Sea City, there is still a big gap.

Jingjing, this ancient and mysterious city, is famous for its unique architectural style and huge scale.

The city's design cleverly combines defensiveness with living comfort.

From the outside to the inside, the city walls are layered, and with each deeper layer, the wall becomes much higher, until the last stone wall, its height reaches more than 40 feet, which is breathtaking.

To complete such a project solely by manpower would undoubtedly be a huge test of the wisdom and perseverance of ancient craftsmen.

The internal structure of Jinjing was also extremely complex, divided into thirteen major regions. The imperial city was located at the northern end and had a vast area, while the remaining regions also had their own characteristics and were equally large in area.

Compared with the openness of Star City, the streets and houses of Jinjing are densely packed, dotted like stars in every corner of the city.

When Chen Yun first entered the city, it took him half a day to cross just two areas, which made him frown.

While strolling in the city, Chen Yun's eyes finally fell on an ordinary-looking two-story restaurant.

He calmly put his hands behind his back and walked into the restaurant.

At this time, the restaurant was doing quite well, and most of the tables were occupied. After looking around, Chen Yun walked straight to the counter, where a skinny middle-aged shopkeeper stood.

After Chen Yun arrived, he did not engage in unnecessary conversation. He moved slightly, cleverly blocking everyone's sight.

Then he lifted his sleeves slightly, and a jade pendant engraved with the words "Guan Ning Feng" was quietly placed on the counter.

The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly when he saw this. He looked at Chen Yun for a moment, then regained his composure and carefully examined the jade pendant.

Soon, the shopkeeper put away the jade pendant and said in a low voice: "Please follow me." Then he led Chen Yun away from the attention of other customers and entered the side door of the restaurant.

After entering a secluded room, the shopkeeper respectfully handed the jade pendant back to Chen Yun with both hands and introduced himself: "It turns out that it is the eldest master who has arrived. I am Feng Quan, the humble man, who pays his respects to you."

Apparently, he mistook Chen Yun for the late Feng Yue.

Chen Yun bluntly demanded:
"Arrange a place where no one will disturb you. It cannot be in a restaurant and it must be far away from the crowd. Only you know about this trip, so don't tell anyone else."

"Manager Feng, please prepare a room for me. I need to rest here for a while."

Chen Yun's voice was filled with an unquestionable majesty, and he was clearly confident in Shopkeeper Feng's ability. "Yes, sir. I'll arrange it for you right away."

Shopkeeper Feng agreed without hesitation. His actions were quick and cautious, showing how seriously he took the matter.

After ensuring that everything was in place, Shopkeeper Feng quietly left the room, carefully closed the door, and then hurried away to deal with related matters.

Chen Yun chose a chair and sat down, closing his eyes and immersing himself in his own thoughts.

He didn't know how long it had been before he was interrupted from his thoughts by the sound of footsteps coming from outside.

Not long after, Shopkeeper Feng returned to the room excitedly.

"Sir, I have found a suitable place to live. It is the house of an old friend of mine. His family has moved to another place, so the house has been vacant."

"I have made some simple arrangements. You can move in anytime."

"Very good, you are very efficient." Chen Yun nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and followed Manager Feng out of the room.

The two men walked out of the back door of the restaurant and saw a brand new two-wheeled carriage waiting there. The driver was an old man with a slightly bent figure.

You have shown considerable care, even preparing the vehicle. However, didn't I remind you not to tell anyone else in the restaurant about my affairs? "

"What's the matter with this old coachman?"

After inspecting the carriage, Chen Yun focused his gaze on the old coachman with white hair and beard, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Sir, this Mr. Wu is hard of hearing. He cannot hear anything and will not spread any news at will."

"And that residence is quite far from here, so we have to use a carriage."

Shopkeeper Feng explained respectfully.

"So that's how it is. Okay." Chen Yun frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then got on the carriage.

Shopkeeper Feng also got into the car shortly afterwards.

The old man shook the reins without any instructions from the two and the car started slowly.

Chen Yun sat cross-legged in the car and closed his eyes again with an expressionless face.

Shopkeeper Feng sat in a corner of the carriage, with his head down and silent.

The carriage was not moving fast. After passing through more than a dozen streets, it suddenly changed direction and headed towards another area.

An hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a remote courtyard.

There are no other houses nearby, and this lonely building looks quite desolate.

Chen Yun and Shopkeeper Feng got off the car one after another.

"This is our destination. Sir, please wait a moment. Let me go ahead and make sure the servants have tidied up the mansion."

Shopkeeper Feng smiled humbly and took a step forward to push the door open.

At this moment, Chen Yun's calm but insightful voice came from behind:

"Are you planning to sneak into the forbidden courtyard ahead and then let the three people inside work together to subdue me?"

Shopkeeper Feng was horrified when he heard the sound. Without thinking, he rushed forward, pushed open the gate with both hands, and tried to escape into the nearby yard.

Just as he moved, a red line mysteriously appeared behind his head and instantly penetrated through it, followed by a blazing flame that devoured him completely.

Seeing this, the hunchbacked old man on the side shouted without hesitation:
"Do it!"

As the words fell, a flying knife with green light flashing flew out of his hand, turning into a green light and attacking at a rapid speed.

At the same time, yellow smoke suddenly rose in the seemingly quiet courtyard, and then a pitch-black flying fork and two flaming red spears shot out from it, attacking Chen Yun together.

Faced with the sudden attack, Chen Yun sneered and flicked his sleeves lightly. The green rainbow was immediately deflected by an invisible force and failed to touch him at all.

In a duel in the world of immortals and heroes, a cultivator displayed extraordinary abilities.

With a slight wave of his sleeves, a blue cloud was released, which not only quickly absorbed the blade light transformed from the flying knife, but also returned to the cuffs after a whirling dance.

The other arm caught the three flying spiritual weapons with amazing speed and accuracy, rendering them completely unable to move.

The sudden change in the battle caused the monks in the surrounding yellow fog to exclaim, and the hunchbacked old man's face turned pale.

He clearly realized what it meant that the opponent in front of him could take away their magical weapons so easily.

In an emergency, the old man reacted quickly, summoning a talisman with a faint bloody glow from his palm.

He bit his tongue without hesitation and spat out a mouthful of blood to activate the talisman.

Then, the talisman turned into a blood cloud, wrapped him up, and instantly took him through space and flew to a safe area more than ten feet away.

At the same time, other monks in the yellow fog also responded quickly.

They released balls of light of different colors, which dispersed in the air and fled the battlefield in different directions.

Chen Yun's expression turned cold, and he quickly fired three sharp sword energies at the three people who were moving backwards.

Just as the three men flew a few feet away, they were engulfed by the swift green sword light.

Along with a few screams, blood mist spread and the bloody smell filled the surroundings.

The hunchbacked old man was terrified when he saw this scene, and hurriedly injected all his spiritual power into the blood mist in an attempt to speed up his escape.

However, Chen Yun sneered and lightly pointed his finger. A red line suddenly appeared behind the blood mist and pierced through it in an instant.

A wail sounded, the blood mist dissipated, and the hunchbacked old man fell from the air. A green light hand quickly flew over, grabbed the old man, and brought him back to Chen Yun.

In the void, a red line swayed gently and then disappeared silently, but reappeared in front of Chen Yun in an instant. He raised his hand, and the red line slowly fell into his palm. It turned out to be an inch-long flying needle.

This needle is crystal clear, made of neither metal nor wood. The red light emitted from its surface is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, making it look quite mysterious.

Chen Yun examined the item in his hand with a look of satisfaction on his face.

He spent a lot of effort and used the crystallized demon pill to refine this flying needle, and its power is obviously extraordinary.

At least its speed of escape and its ability to conceal its tracks met expectations.

As a magic weapon, its power can be further enhanced if it is cultivated.

He took the flying needle into his body, then looked up at the hunchbacked old man who was bound by spiritual power, his face expressionless.

At this time, there was a small hole as thick as a thumb in the old man's abdomen. Most of his body was firmly grasped by spiritual power. He could not move and his face was pale.

Seeing Chen Yun's gaze, the old man was frightened and forced a smile. He hurriedly said in a flattering tone: (End of this chapter)
