The old man’s expression drastically changed, a mix of shock and terror.
He possessed over three hundred years of cultivation; for someone to easily block his attack, they must be at Feng Xiu’s level.
Who is it?!
Since when has the Ancient Martial World produced such a master?
Moreover, here in the Ling family’s territory?
Could it be that the Ancestor of the Ling Family has made a breakthrough?
But even if the Ancestor has made a breakthrough, his Ancient Martial Cultivation couldn’t possibly surpass his own.
Just as the old man lifted his head, before he could even look up—
In the next moment, a surge of pain shot through his wrist and spread throughout his entire body.
"Crack!"
The old man let out a heart-wrenching scream, his body instantly flew backward.
His entire arm shattered under another force of Inner Strength, bones completely crushed.
Not even Ancient Medicine could possibly restore such a level of injury.
"..."
The street fell into silence.
All cries ceased abruptly.
The direct lineage family member was also slumped on the ground, cold sweat pouring down, lifting his head dumbfoundedly.
The girl stood prominently on the street, her figure slender and upright.
The sunlight dyed her brows and eyes pale gold, magnificent like a descending deity.
Ying Zijin turned around, looking at the old man on the ground, spoke indifferently: "What boldness."
Her face also became visible to everyone.
"Miss Ying!"
"Ancestor?!"
This face of Ying Zijin, in the Ancient Martial World, is now recognized by everyone.
Many regretted not having the chance to meet Ying Zijin before she left the Ancient Martial World.
Although the old man’s arm was shattered, the pain was excruciating.
But his consciousness remained clear, his mind buzzing instantly.
Wasn’t Ying Zijin supposed to have left the Ancient Martial World?
How could she return, especially at this time?!
The Guard Squad of the Ling family had also arrived, with the Captain being an ancient martial artist with two hundred years of cultivation.
Seeing the girl, he was equally surprised, immediately cupping his fist in salute: "Miss Ying!"
"Clean up the mess." Ying Zijin nodded slightly, "I’ve already crippled his Inner Strength; the rest you handle."
"Thank you, Miss Ying, for the rescue." The Captain was still a bit fearful, "We’ll take him away right now."
Two guards promptly stepped forward and bound the old man.
The Captain also recognized the emblem on the old man and squinted: "Lin Family!"
The Lin Family has been on a downward trajectory lately.
Apart from the deterrence caused by Feng Xiu, there was also Lin Qingjia’s departure.
Since the Elders Council of the Lin Family attempted to marry Lin Qingjia off to the legitimate eldest son of the Yue Family to solidify their status.
But they failed to force it through, and were instead reprimanded by the Martial Arts Alliance, scolded for attempting to steal Cheng Yuan’s daughter-in-law.
It was only then that the Lin Family realized Lin Qingjia was never under their control.
This further weakened the Lin Family markedly.
Serves them right.
The guards dragged the old man, aggravating his injuries, causing him to scream continuously, still begging for mercy: "Miss Ying! Miss Ying spare me!"
He never imagined that just as he entertained the thought of making a move, he would run into Ying Zijin.
What kind of luck is this?
"What’s the point of yelling?" The Captain slapped him, sneering, "Miss Ying doesn’t have time to deal with your Lin Family affairs."
"Ah Ying?!" Ling Mianxi ran over, embracing her, "Ah Ying, I’ve missed you so much."
Ying Zijin nodded with a smile: "Awake now?"
"When I woke up, it was already August." Ling Mianxi leaned against her, "You had already left, I wanted to find you, but Nie Yi, that stubborn straight man, had me recovering my health."
"I told him I was fine, my Ancient Martial Cultivation drastically improved, yet he didn’t believe me."
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow: "I believe you."
"See, women understand women best." Ling Mianxi touched her chin, "Ah Ying, Uncle Wen told me you went to a place called City of the World, I want to go with you."
Ying Zijin hummed: "I returned also for this matter. I’m planning to take some ancient martial artists, but still depends on their willingness."
"Take me, take me." Ling Mianxi raised her hand, "I want to see."
Ying Zijin’s gaze slightly focused: "It may be dangerous."
"No worries." Ling Mianxi was unconcerned, "You’ve helped me so much, I of course have to help you too."
Ying Zijin’s eyelashes lowered, a soft laugh escaped: "Alright."
"Handle your girlfriend." Fu Yunshen placed one hand in his pocket, his legs long, "Could you stop hugging my girl?"
