Enter the immortal gate and hide one's fragrance!

  "Not bad!" Her gaze turned to the middle-aged man with a fierce aura, but as soon as her voice fell, his gloomy eyes narrowed and he growled in a low voice: "Bring me that person!"

  "Yes!" The guards shouted in unison and stepped forward, about to take action.

  "Halt!" She coldly shouted, glancing at the man and asked: "Who are you? Why mobilize so many people to capture me?" It's inexplicable that they want to take action without a reason. She had to ask for clarification anyway.

  "Hum! Follow us and you'll know the reason! Take him away!"

  "Oh? It seems you want me to take action?" Her clear eyes swept across the guards, her lips curled up, and her expression was carefree.

  She saw her calm and composed, with a confident air between her eyebrows, and a reserved demeanor, couldn't help but narrow her eyes: "You're good, Tang Xin! My Jiang family has no grudges against you, yet you dare to harm my son, making him lose his mind now, and still pretending to be innocent here!"

  "Jiang's family?" Upon hearing this, her eyes flickered: "Are you the father of that Jiang City?" She sized him up, and this person had an aura that was both majestic and restrained, wearing elegant clothes, with a demeanor that exuded a sinister and ruthless air, unmistakably a cunning and cruel individual.

  It's just that the Jiang City was her doing, how would they know? She came here and only stayed at the Huajia, outsiders wouldn't even know her name, if so, then this news must have been leaked out by someone from the Huajia, otherwise they wouldn't have chased after her so quickly.

  What's going on with the Huajia family? Haha, it's really interesting. It seems that the demonic family has produced a traitor. No wonder people say that the status of the Huajia family is declining day by day and will be surpassed by other families. If a family produces an internal ghost, they must clean it up, otherwise it won't work. Originally, who this internal ghost was didn't concern her, but whoever dared to betray her, she wanted to catch them out and teach them a lesson!

  "Not bad! What have you done to my son?! If you can't restore him to his original state, I'll cripple your hands and feet, cut out your tongue, dig out your eyes! Let you know that whoever offends the Jiang family will be worse than dead!"

  The gloomy and cold voice was filled with harshness and chill, the murderous aura in his words made the people around him involuntarily take a step back. Everyone here knew what kind of person the master of the Jiang family was, normally no one would dare to provoke them, not even the powerful Flower family who lived in the same town. Now this little girl actually dared to attack the only son of the Jiang family's master, wasn't this just asking for trouble?

  Her eyes slightly turned, and the dark light flowed at the bottom of her eyes. She smiled lightly and looked at him: "So it's the master of the Jiang family, the father of Jiang Cheng. Not bad, Jiang Cheng became like that because of my hands and feet. Under this sky, I'm afraid no one can control him better than me except for myself." She smiled lightly, her voice slightly paused, and her expression was refined and leisurely as she glanced at the surrounding guards: "If you really want to hope that your son's second half-life will be like this, then it's okay to let your people try. If they hurt a single hair of mine... Hehe..."

  A crisp and pleasant soft laughter, like a gentle stream flowing through the mountains, also like a spring breeze caressing one's face with a soft gentleness, intoxicating people at the same time, yet there was also someone who gazed at her with anger and gloom. This person, apart from Jiang Cheng's father, the master of the Jiang family in Jiang City, could not be anyone else.

  "Are you threatening me?" Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth, clenching his fists, his eyes fixed on her with a murderous gaze, his entire body radiating an aura of hostility. If it weren't for her words, he really wanted to slap her to death with one palm!

  "Is there? I don't think so." Glancing at his gloomy and bloodthirsty gaze, she slightly changed her mind, sighed, and said: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to help your son get treatment."

  The head of the Jiang family, whose anger was burning and whose fists were clenched with a cracking sound, furrowed his brow: "What do you mean by this?"

  "Just as you said before, I have no grudges against your Jiang family, so why should I make enemies with you? It's just that I don't have the spiritual medicine to cure your son on hand. Even if you keep me here, it would be of no use."

  Upon hearing this, he furrowed his brow and sized her up. Seeing that she was distracted and had a carefree expression with a hint of laziness, his thoughts shifted slightly. If he were to engage in combat with her, given her ability to kill Li Yuanchun, she probably wouldn't be weak either. If he could avoid fighting her, and she would agree to treat Cheng Er, that would be a win-win situation.

  "As long as you can cure my son, I won't hold it against you. As for the spiritual medicine, just name it and I'll get it back for you. However, the prerequisite is that he must recover normally! If not, no matter how strong your abilities are or how difficult you are to deal with, I will make sure you have no place to stand on this Tiger's Roar Continent!" At the same time, he didn't forget to throw in a threat, letting her know he was serious and not just trying to intimidate her!

  Upon hearing this, Tang's eyebrows rose and her mood greatly improved: "That goes without saying. If you can bring me the spiritual medicine I need, I will naturally cure him. If he cannot be cured, then do with him as you please."

  "Alright! Then follow me back to the mansion!" With a wave of his hand, he signaled for everyone to withdraw, glanced around, and then stepped out to head back.

  Tang Xin smiled and followed him. Since there's free spiritual medicine to be had, why not go?

  At the same time, the people of the Flower family received news that the master of the Jiang family had brought people to surround Tang Xin on the street and even took Tang Xin back to their home in the Jiang family. Upon hearing this news, the master of the Flower family, several elders, and Hua Wuyi all furrowed their brows involuntarily.

  "How did the Jiang family know that Tang had arrived here? And even blocked her on the main street?" Hua Wuque was deep in thought, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. He looked at the master of the house and saw him frowning, also lost in thought. He asked: "Master, what should we do now? Only we know that Tang came to our place, if Jiang knows that it was her who did that to Jiang Cheng, he will not let her off. If Tang thinks it's us who betrayed her, won't that..."

  "It's leaked out so quickly, it seems that there is a traitor in our Huo family and they are colluding with the Jiang family. Family head, this matter cannot be ignored, we must investigate who the traitor is and who is colluding with the Jiang family!" one of the elders said in a deep voice.

  Upon hearing this, Hua Wuque said: "At the time, I was in the courtyard telling you that Jiang Cheng's actions were orchestrated by Tang Gongzi. Besides us, there were also several esteemed uncles from the Hua family present. If there really is a mole, it's likely to be one of them."

  The master of the house, with a furrowed brow and a solemn face, paused for a moment before saying: "Four elders, this matter is left to you to investigate. Wuque, go to the courtyard and tell Feihua that Tang's daughter has been taken away by the Jiang family." His eyes flashed slightly, with a hint of darkness at the bottom.

  Upon hearing this, Hua Wuquei's expression was slightly stunned, and after a moment, he stood up and replied, "Yes." Immediately, he turned around and walked out.

  An elder looked up at him thoughtfully and said, "Master of the house, do you want Fei Hua to take action? Although he can stand up now and his strength is recovering, it seems that he hasn't fully recovered yet. Can he go?"

  The master of the Huajia family glanced at them and said, "You go down first to investigate clearly, who is colluding with the Jiang family. Investigate thoroughly and punish severely without leniency!" The low voice carried a fierce and oppressive tone, and the glint in his eyes made several elders dare not speak further.

  As the head of the household, it is absolutely infuriating to discover that those under him are colluding with his arch-nemesis. Especially after being informed that the concubine of the head of the household had an illicit relationship with an outsider and plotted against Hua's family and Hua Feihua, the status of Hua's family plummeted among several other families. If the traitor within is not severely punished, wouldn't everyone else follow suit?

  When Hua Wuyi came to the small courtyard again and told Hua Feihua about Tang Xin's affairs, he just hooked up the corner of his mouth with a sly smile: "Since the Jiang family invited her, let her go." It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send one away. Who dares to casually invite that woman?

  After hearing his words, Hua Wu Xie was slightly stunned: "Don't you go take a look?" Isn't she his friend? Just letting it be like this? Not even asking about her situation?

  Hua Fei Huai glanced at him and then closed her eyes, no longer paying attention. What did that woman have to do with his worries? If she didn't want to go, the people from the Jiang family wouldn't be able to invite her.

  On the other hand, the Jiang family's mansion was bustling with excitement due to Tang Xin's arrival. The reason was that the several madams of the Jiang family had heard that their husband had brought back an extremely beautiful woman and they all rushed to the main hall, wanting to see which fox spirit had enchanted their old master so much that he even personally went to abduct someone, but unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the main hall, they were stopped.

  "A few ladies, the host has ordered that no one can enter to disturb." The two guards blocked them and did not allow them to enter.

  "What? Can't even go in and disturb? Hmph! We just want to see what that fox spirit looks like inside, can't even enter the hall now? Get out of the way!" The three women, dressed up in a flashy manner, angrily pushed aside the guards and stormed inside.

  In the hall, Tang Xin was drinking tea made by Yā Huán, slowly savoring it, when he heard several women's voices coming from outside. He couldn't help but put down his tea and ask: "What's going on outside? It sounds like a commotion?"

  That girl walked out in small steps, but before she reached the outside, three men rushed in and asked her abruptly: "Where is that fox spirit? Where is she? Bring her out for me!"

  Tang Xin raised an eyebrow and looked over at them, seeing that they were three seductive women, and couldn't help but chuckle as he leaned against his chin to look at them. These people are the wives of the Jiang family's master? The taste seems a bit heavy! The powder on their faces was thick enough to be shocking, with their seductive makeup, if one didn't know better, they would think they were prostitutes from some brothel.

  "Are you the fox spirit that the master brought back?" The three of them walked closer, sizing up Tang Xin, but when they saw her stunning face, their eyes revealed envy and astonishment. As women themselves, they couldn't help but stare blankly at such a woman, let alone men?

  "Hmm?" Tang Xin raised an eyebrow and looked at them with interest.

  "What's with that look? You think I won't scratch your face?" A woman raised her sharp fingernails and clawed at Tang Xin's face, intending to ruin it, but before she could even touch her, she was kicked out by Tang Xin.

  "Ouch! I'm dying of pain!"

  The woman was kicked to the ground, clutching her stomach and crying out in pain: "Quickly, someone come! Murder! Quickly, get someone for me! Catch that fox spirit!"

  "You wild woman, how dare you act so recklessly in our Jiang family? Watch me not kill you!" The other two women pulled out their hairpins and pounced on her, wanting to scratch her face. Tang Xin saw this, narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and her fingers moved slightly. Two cold lights shot out from her sleeves, silently entering the bodies of the two women, causing them to fall to the ground immediately.

  "What's going on?" At this time, the guard reported that the master of the Jiang family also rushed over. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw his three women lying on the ground, one crying and shouting, and the other two stiffening their bodies without moving. He couldn't help but frown at Tang Xin.

  "Master Jiang, please discipline your woman properly. Don't let her bark nonstop at people. If it weren't for your sake, these three people would probably be corpses by now." She spoke slowly and calmly, but the chill in her voice made Master Jiang aware that she wasn't joking.

  "Bring them away!" He shouted in a low voice, taking steps to move forward, but was held back by the woman who was wailing on the ground and grasping his leg: "Master, Master, you must do us justice! This vixen actually kicked me, just like that, with one kick, you must help us teach her a lesson!"

  Tang Xin Zheng watched them with a look of enjoying the show, while the master of the Jiang family frowned, his eyes showing a hint of impatience. He raised his foot and kicked: "Get out!"

  "Oh! Master, master..."

  Two guards escorted them out, and the hall also quieted down due to their departure.

  "Mrs. Jiang is indeed a rare treasure." Tang Xin said with a playful smile, holding the tea cup and gently brushing off the tea leaves on top, while asking: "Master Jiang, when can I get the spiritual medicine I want?" She had mentioned at least a dozen precious spiritual medicines, which were not easy to find. If Master Jiang could produce them, it wouldn't be impossible for Jiang City to recover.

  The master of the Jiang family glanced at her and walked to the main seat, frowning: "The spiritual medicine you mentioned will only be complete in three days. However, I asked the doctor and those things cannot be mixed together. Are you sure that these spiritual medicines can really cure my son?" Most of the spiritual medicines he didn't have, and if he wanted to get them, he would have to spend a lot of money to buy them. Some were even unwilling to sell, and they had to exchange them for something of equivalent value. He didn't understand the use of those spiritual medicines, but he also knew that they were precious medicinal materials. She asked for more than ten kinds, was it really to cure his son or to collect those precious medicinal materials through him?

  She took a light sip of tea, her movements elegant and refined, exuding an air of noble sanctity. Her expression was serene and languid, as if she were in her own home. She used the tea lid to gently scrape off the tea leaves, saying nonchalantly: "What's wrong? Is the master of the Jiang family regretting his decision? The spiritual medicine may be precious, but it can be found. Your son, however, is one-of-a-kind. Master Jiang, since you've agreed, don't question my abilities or doubt my intentions. Just know that when you bring me all sixteen types of spiritual medicine, your son will recover to normal."

  Upon hearing this, the master of the Jiang family pursed his lips tightly and remained silent for a moment before standing up: "I'll have someone arrange a place for you to stay. You can stay there first! Three days later, I'll bring all sixteen types of spiritual medicine to you without exception!" As soon as he finished speaking, he strode out.

  Three days later, the master of the Jiang family indeed placed the sixteen spiritual medicines in front of Tang Xin. Tang Xin carefully examined each one and, seeing that they were correct, nodded her head in satisfaction: "Not bad, these are the ones." She stored the spiritual medicines in her spatial ring before saying: "Bring Jiang Cheng over!"

  Watching her put away the sixteen kinds of spiritual medicine, the master of the Jiang family also understood that he didn't need those spiritual medicines to cure his son at all. She was just using his son to achieve her goal. Thinking of this, he felt extremely resentful in his heart, but had to suppress the flames of anger within him.

  "Those spiritual medicines were never meant for treating my son!"

  "Heh heh, Master Jiang, that was the diagnostic fee you paid for me to cure your son's illness. Do you think I would help someone for free?" She smiled lightly without denying it.

  "If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't have turned out like that!"

  "This statement is wrong, if it weren't for me, Lord Gongzi would be foolish for his whole life and never have a day to recover normally. What's the point of Jiang family master taking these trivial medicinal materials so seriously?"

  "What's the big deal about some herbs?" As soon as he heard this, his anger surged up: "Do you know how much gold was spent on just that bamboo immortal grass? That's a spiritual medicine that takes over a hundred years to mature! And what about the purple pearl grass and the three-leaf lotus? Each one is worth a fortune! The 'mere' spiritual medicines you're talking about have already cost me half of the Jiang family's wealth!" The more he spoke, the angrier he became, his whole body shaking with rage. If it weren't for the fact that she had helped his son recover from illness, he really wouldn't be able to control himself.

  Tang Xin ignored his anger, lightly laughing: "It's precisely because it's hard to find that I had you go look for it. If it were easy to find, why would I have come with you to the Jiang residence? Since I've taken the spiritual medicine, then I will definitely let your son recover. How about it? Aren't you anxious for him to recover? Still thinking of lashing out at me? If I also got angry like you, I'm afraid my hand would shake when sewing, that would be troublesome."

  "Hum!" He snorted, flung his sleeve and shouted: "Bring the young master in!"

  Before long, Jiang Cheng was brought in, his mouth hanging open in a foolish grin as he drooled. His expression was dull and his eyes lifeless, his body occasionally convulsing, and his mouth unable to close. He looked nothing like the arrogant Jiang Cheng who had provoked Hua Wuyan on the streets that day.

  Seeing his son become like this, a hint of heartache flashed in the eyes of the Jiang family master. This was his only child, if he really spent the rest of his life like this, wouldn't that mean he had no one to inherit from him?

  Tang Xin stood up and walked to Jiang Cheng's side. Seeing the two black-clad guards still standing behind him, he gestured: "You two go down."

  The two were unmoved, and only after the master of the Jiang family gave a nod did they turn around and leave. Seeing the expressions on their faces, Tang Xin just smiled: "It seems that the people under the master of the Jiang family are quite afraid of you."

  "Hurry up and treat my son!" The master of the Jiang family scowled, glanced at her, then shifted his gaze to Jiang Cheng.

  Tang Xin smiled indifferently and walked to Jiang Cheng's side, pressing her hands on his body several times, searching for the silver needle that had been shot into him that day. When she found the location of the silver needle, she gathered spiritual energy in her hand and absorbed it, pulling out the silver needle and putting it in her sleeve. At the same time, she tapped a few points around his acupoints. With the circulation and flow of qi and blood, Jiang Cheng's originally dull complexion also recovered its clarity in an instant, looking at his father sitting in the main seat with some confusion.

  "Dad? How are you here?" He looked around the hall, even more shocked. He remembered that he had gone out, but how was he now in his own home? What exactly happened? Why didn't he have any impression at all?

  As soon as he heard that, the master of the Jiang family was overjoyed and quickly came to his side, grasping his shoulder and excitedly asked: "Cheng, you...you're really better?"

  "What's wrong? Haven't I always been fine?" he asked in puzzlement.

  "Master Jiang, shouldn't you wipe your saliva first?" Tang Xin's voice suddenly came out, causing Jiang Cheng to instinctively turn back and look at her, but he was stunned, his eyes fixed on her in a daze.

  That woman in the blue dress, with a stunning face and an air of languid elegance, had eyes that were half-closed, exuding an enchanting aura, her lips slightly upturned, with a faint smile that seemed to appear and disappear, captivating all who laid eyes on her, leaving them entranced by her charming and alluring smile, unable to regain their composure for a long time.

  However, the master of the Jiang family's eyes turned ruthless and bloodthirsty in an instant, and he shouted loudly: "Come on! Catch her for me!" No one has ever dared to threaten him! And she, who harmed his son, actually dared to ask him to use half of his family's wealth to find that precious spiritual medicine for her. This woman, he will not let her go!

  It seems that there was a hidden ambush, and after the host of the Jiang family shouted loudly, more than a dozen black-clad guards rushed into the hall, trapping Tang Xin in the middle. However, Jiang Cheng was stunned, stretching out his hand to touch his chin, looking down, and finding that his hand was wet with saliva, which made him even more bewildered, unable to understand what was happening.

  "Dad, what's going on? Who is this woman?" He looked at his father and asked.

  "Cheng Er, more than a dozen days ago, you were poisoned by that woman named Tang Xin outside and became dizzy. Fortunately, I received the news that she had arrived in our city, so to cure you, I used half of the Jiang family's wealth to exchange for 16 precious spiritual medicines. Now that you have recovered normally, this woman cannot be let off easily! I want her to hand over those things and also leave her life here!" The master of the Jiang family said sternly, his sinister gaze scanning Tang Xin who was trapped in the corner, his eyes seeming to want to chop her into pieces to vent his anger.

  Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng was shocked and stared at the stunningly beautiful woman in a daze. Seeing her unparalleled beauty, he couldn't help but be aroused and said, "Father, I want this woman! After capturing her, leave her for me." Such a beauty would be wasted if she died; of course, he had to spare her life so that he could cherish her properly.

  Upon hearing this, the master of the Jiang family frowned and said: "Cheng Er, this woman is not an ordinary person. You're afraid you won't be able to control her, so it's better to kill her off cleanly!"

  "Father, since she's made me suffer so much, how can you just kill her like that? Even if she's formidable, she's still just a woman. If father is worried, then just cut off her tendons and render her unable to cause any more trouble!"

  "Since you insist on it, fine! I'll spare her life and let her be your plaything!"

  Listening to the father and son discussing how to deal with her as if she was a nobody, Tang Xin's mouth twitched slightly. Did she really look that weak? Could it be that just a dozen or so Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivators thought they could take her down?

  She had long known that the old thief Jiang would not easily let her leave the Jiang family gate, but since she dared to come, she wouldn't put them in her eyes. Curing this Jiang city was just pulling out the silver needle from his body. Since they wanted to move against her, she would make them know that offending her would have a great price!

  A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she swept a glance over the Jiang family father and son standing beside her, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Wait until you've really taken me down, then we can discuss my fate." Her gaze scanned the dozen or so black-clad guards, her voice dripping with arrogance and disdain. "But just a dozen or so Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivators dare to block my path? I'll take care of you easily!"

  No one saw how she moved her body, only to know that at the moment her voice fell, a green shadow flashed out like a ghost, cold light refracted and flashed in the eyes of the people in the hall. No one knew when she drew out the dagger, no one knew what moves she used, only to know that when the green shadow swept past them, a chill killing intent came to their necks, with a "whoosh" sound, the knife passed through the throat and killed cleanly and neatly!

  "Uh!"

  A cultivator of the 8th layer of Qi Refining, whose strength could be considered top-notch in the Tiger's Roar Continent, but here, she couldn't even withstand a single move. When her figure appeared beside them, they didn't even have time to react, and the sharp blade sliced across their throats. They only had time to let out a final gasp before falling one by one, dead, without even closing their eyes...

  The father and son of Jiang City were shocked, staring at the woman in green clothes who was holding a dagger with swift and ruthless movements. She killed people without blinking an eye, her knife work extremely fast, and what's even more terrifying was that there was still a hint of a smile on her lips, a smile that made people feel cold to the bone, making their hair stand on end and their hearts racing with fear. Her clear eyes were icy cold, scanning over the corpses on the ground before landing on the father and son duo. The gaze made them uneasy, frightened, and filled with unprecedented terror and panic. At this moment, death was so close to them, and they couldn't help but regret not letting her leave earlier, at least then they wouldn't have been subjected to her bloodthirsty and eerie icy stare.

  It's just that a thousand pieces of gold can't buy early knowledge. Looking at her standing among the corpses, playing with that exquisite and delicate dagger, looking at the dagger in her hand gleaming with bloodthirsty sharpness, looking at the place where the blade was, fresh blood dripping down, spreading on the ground...

  "Are you going to cripple me and make a plaything out of me?" Tang Xin narrowed her eyes, sweeping a glance at the two of them, while at this moment, the guards outside had already surrounded the entrance of the hall but did not dare to come in.

  "Tanxin! What do you want to do!"

  The master of the Jiang family let out a low shout, pretending to be calm as he looked at her. He didn't expect her movements to be so strange and unpredictable, that earlier move was fast like a ghostly apparition, even he couldn't see how she made it, or when she made it, at this moment, he also had no bottom line, if he were to fight with her, what would his chances of winning be?

  "What are you doing? Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? You won't let me leave, and now you're forcing my hand. Tell me, how should I deal with you?" Her voice paused, a lazy tone laced with a hint of coldness, as she glanced at the corpses on the ground: "Like them? Finished off with one knife?"

  "How dare you!"

  She lightly laughed and said: "Hehe... Master Jiang, your words are truly strange. If I didn't dare, do you think I would have come here with you? What is lying on the ground if not my courage? It's not that I don't dare, but rather a matter of whether I want to or not."

  "Dad, we're going to take her down! I don't believe that with so many of us, we can't beat one woman!" Jiang Cheng glared at Tang Xin, still unaware of the huge gap between him and her, thinking that he and his father's strength would be enough to handle Tang Xin.

  The host of the Jiang family, after all, is a person who has seen scenes and experienced storms. He has more experience than Jiang Cheng. From Tang Xin's previous move, he deeply knows that he has no chance of winning when fighting her. At this moment, he finally understands why even Li Yuqiu died at her hands. He also realizes that he underestimated her those days ago. This woman is deeper and more unpredictable than he thought!

  He pressed down the son beside him and said in a low voice, "Don't be impulsive!" If there was any chance of winning, he wouldn't have stood like this. He feared that if things escalated further, they would lose control. Now, seeing her only speaking without taking action against them, his mind stirred slightly, and he said, "Tang Xin, what do you want? Speak up!" He shouldn't have provoked such a fierce goddess, and now he couldn't even ask her to leave.

  "Haha, you're indeed the master of the Jiang family. Since you've spoken up, I'll get straight to the point!" She smiled lightly and took out a cloth to slowly wipe clean the dagger in her hand before putting it away, saying: "I want to know who told you about my whereabouts?"

  Upon hearing this, the master of the Jiang family furrowed his brow: "You... what do you plan to do to him?"

  "You should know, this is an opportunity for you, if you miss it, I don't need to tell you the consequences?" Tang Xin looked at him with a smile that was not quite a smile. Even now, she still thought about what she wanted to do to that person? Hehe, how ridiculous.

  The head of the Jiang family remained silent, if he had spoken out against them, she would have been left with only half her life, but if they didn't speak out, the father and son would not be able to escape this calamity!

  "What? Still hesitating?"

  His heart skipped a beat, he gritted his teeth: "Fine! I'll say it!" In order to protect himself, he had no choice but to betray him.

  Tang's heart was filled with satisfaction as she curled up the corners of her lips, and after getting the answer she wanted, she turned around and left. Meanwhile, the master of the Jiang family looked at his black-clad guards who had been painstakingly trained but were now all dead in front of him, and he seemed to have lost his soul as he sat down with a thud, muttering: "If only I had known earlier, I would have let her go, and the Jiang family wouldn't have lost so many top-notch experts..."

  On the other hand, the Hua family was still unaware of the events at the Jiang family and were instead entangled in figuring out who the internal spy was. The four elders went to investigate but found nothing conclusive. Among the dozen or so people present that day, no one had left the Hua residence even half a step, and the only means of communicating with the outside world was through carrier pigeons, which made it even more difficult to uncover who was responsible.

  A middle-aged man standing beside the master of the Huahouse looked at everyone and said, "Maybe it's not our Huahouse people who spread the news, but the Jiang family found out about it. Master, why do we need to be so concerned about this matter?"

  "This is impossible, they have no reason to know." Hua Wuque shook his head and said: "Second Uncle, this traitor must be someone from our Hua family, and was among us at that time. If we don't catch him, I'm afraid he will still harm our Hua family in the future."

  "But we've been searching for several days and haven't found anything, what can we do?" one of the elders said, stroking his beard thoughtfully.

  "Home, home owner, Tang Xin is back again!" A middle-aged man rushed in, reporting with a hint of panic: "She seems to be acting strangely, sir. She can't possibly think that we betrayed her and let the Jiang family capture her, can she?"

  "Go and take a look." The master of the Huajia household said in a low voice, stood up, and was about to go out, but then a voice came: "No need to bother, I'm already inside."

  Tang Xin walked in, his eyes scanning the few people in the hall before finally landing on the master of the Hua family. "Master Hua, I'm afraid I've come to disturb you again," he said. "This time, however, I've come to ask for someone."

  "Oh? I don't know what kind of person Miss Tang wants?"

  "Flower peace."

  As soon as the name was mentioned, everyone in the hall was shocked, and the middle-aged man standing beside the master of the house looked over. He had originally been half-closing his eyes, but when he heard Tang Xin mention him directly, he also raised his head, and his gaze met Tang Xin's eyes.

  "Tang girl, I am Hua An. What are you looking for me?" He forced himself to calm down, but in his heart he was extremely angry. She had actually betrayed him!

  "Oh? So you're Hua An?" She raised an eyebrow, sizing him up, and saw the hint of panic in his eyes, which made her lips curve into a slight smile: "The master of Jiang said it was you who gave him the information, telling him that I was the one who took down Jiang City, right?"

  At these words, he smiled wryly and said, "How is that possible? I have no reason to do so."

  "Isn't there a reason? Then how did I hear him say that you and he reached an agreement to divide the Huas' property, and you would take the position of head of the Hua family?"

  As soon as she spoke, the crowd in the hall looked at him in shock, each one disbelieving yet furious, staring at Hua An: "You...you really colluded with the Jiang family? Really willing to destroy the hundreds of years of foundation of the Hua family just to become the master?"

  "No, don't listen to her nonsense! This woman is talking nonsense! How can the Jiang family say such things? It doesn't make sense! You, this woman, pinning such a crime on me, what are your intentions!" He shouted angrily, suddenly striking out at Tang Xin.

  He panicked, his expression could no longer hide the panic, precisely because of the guilt and fear in his heart, he made a move against Tang Xin. Seeing those angry and suspicious eyes falling on him, at this moment, he was afraid of being discovered, wanting to stop her from speaking further, but didn't know that the more he concealed, the more it proved his guilt.

  Tang Xin didn't flinch or dodge, watching as he clawed at her with his palm, watching as spiritual energy surged in his hand, a low-level fire spell forming in his hand, watching the murderous intent and panic in his eyes, she smiled slightly.

  In the next moment, with a swift movement of her feet and a flash of her body, she dodged his attack using an unusual technique. At the same time, she grasped one of his hands with hers, and with a burst of force, a crisp cracking sound echoed out.

  "Psst! Ah!"

  Hua An let out a cold breath, his hand bone was brutally broken by someone, the pain made him involuntarily cry out in agony.

  "Isn't it strange, why would the master of the Jiang family tell me that you're a traitor?" Tang Xin smiled softly and released the hand she had broken, slapping another one: "Because if he didn't say it, he'd be dead!"

  "Crack!"

  "Ah!"

  That severe pain had not yet subsided when another wave of heart-wrenching agony arrived, and cold sweat broke out in torrents. It was due to the pain as well as her words: if Jiang family's master didn't speak up, would he have to die? Her implication was that even Jiang family's master wasn't a match for her?

  The people of the Huajia family heard her words, and a huge wave of horror rose in their hearts. They looked at her with fear, looking at the shallow smile on her absolutely beautiful face, but her eyes were cold and stern, carrying a murderous aura. Looking at her stunning momentum deeply shocked their souls. Originally, they should have spoken out, even if Hua An was a traitor, it should have been up to them to deal with her. But seeing the chill in her eyes, the words that reached the tip of their tongues couldn't be spoken.

  "Girl, I thought you were leaving, what's going on? Not had enough fun yet?"

  The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became icy and oppressive, making it hard to breathe. A formless murderous intent permeated the air, causing everyone to be terrified. However, just then, a sly voice with a hint of laughter came through, breaking the tension in the hall and allowing everyone to let out a sigh of relief.

  Only then did a figure in red, Huā Fēi Huā, walk in. Although his body had recovered and he had started to gain weight, compared to before, he still looked thinner. However, the eye-catching red clothes on him seemed to bring back his former glory.

  He alone, as if no one was around, walked in and came to Tang Xin's side, looking at her who was dealing with Hua An, with a hint of a smile, not afraid of the murderous aura and icy breath emanating from her body.

  "You demon, how did you get here?" Seeing it was him, she stretched out her hand and tossed aside the flower An whom she had crippled, looking at him as if nothing was wrong, teasingly saying: "It's been a few days since we last met, but you seem to be even more radiant than before. It looks like your little life is going well?"

  The people in the hall wiped a cold sweat, just now Tang Xin was really too scary, fortunately Hua Fei Hua came, otherwise, it's unknown how to end the scene.

  "Fei Hua, why don't you take Tang Jie out for a chat? Leave this to us." The elderly men said cautiously, and then looked at Tang Xin.

  "Want to go for a walk in the courtyard?" He looked at her and asked what she meant.

  "No need, I've stayed in this city for quite some time too, and I should be leaving as well. By the way, I got this from the Jiang family, take it to nourish your body!" She took out a spiritual medicine from her space: "Nourishing Sacred Treasure, Earth Spiritual Mushroom, take it and stew it, it's good for your health."

  She casually took out a Ganoderma lucidum and gave it to Hua Fei Hua, the people of the Hua family on the side couldn't help but look at her in shock. That's Ganoderma lucidum! A nourishing sacred product that is hard to find even with a lot of money, how did she bring it from the Jiang family? And just give it away like this? This...this is too generous, isn't it?

  Hua Fei Hua smiled as she took it, playing with it in her hand, and glanced at her, saying: "I knew you went to the Jiang family, the Jiang family must have lost a fortune, even this was taken away from them. Tsk tsk, not simple." This woman, how can't she cheat others? When she encounters someone, even he has never had an advantage, let alone that old good-for-nothing in the Jiang family.

  "Alright, I'm leaving. See you later!" She smiled at him and turned to walk away. The Jiang and Hua families were both large clans on the Tiger Roar Continent, and after this commotion, her name would likely be even more renowned. Fortunately, when she arrived at South Heaven Gate, she used a different identity; otherwise, there would definitely be endless trouble.

  Out of the city, she used a flying talisman and headed straight to Nan Xian Men. When she arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already noon on the second day. She hadn't rested much along the way, so she found a place to rest at the foot of the mountain, ate a few spiritual fruits, and replenished her energy.

  At the foot of the mountain, groups of young men and women walked together towards Nan Xian Men. Some were dressed in luxurious clothes, wearing brocade and satin, clearly from wealthy families. Others wore simple and old clothes, seemingly from poor families. As they passed by her, some would glance at her, while others maintained an air of superiority, strutting past her like proud peacocks.

  At noon, the sun was a bit scorching, she wove a wreath of purple wildflowers and vines from the foot of the mountain on her head, which could block out the sun and also make her mood more pleasant.

  Walking up the mountain, there is still a long way to go. The stairs are dug out of mud and not easy to walk on. Some people stop and rest halfway, but there is nothing to block the sun in the middle, and the sunlight shines directly down, making it unbearable for people.

  "Hey! Who's that? Give me the wreath on your head."

  A spoiled voice came, Tang Xin raised her head to look, and her clear eyes fell on the few people resting in front of her. There were two men and women, and it was the woman who spoke up, wearing high-quality silk clothes, with a delicate and charming appearance. The man beside her had a slightly cold face, silent and proud. As she sized him up, his icy eyes also glanced at her, then moved away.

  Tang Xin blinked her eyes, and a smile floated up to the edge of her lips. She tilted her head slightly, pointing at her own nose: "Are you calling me?"

  "It's you, give me that flower wreath on your head." The girl said matter-of-factly, pointing at the flower wreath with purple small flowers on her head.

  "I can give it to you, but you have to bring something in exchange."

  "What are you going to exchange? You think I'll give you something for nothing? Do you want gold coins?" The girl sneered at her, saying: "A broken flower ring, and you dare ask for gold coins? But it doesn't matter, what I lack the least is gold coins. One gold coin, even if I give it to you as a reward." She took out a gold coin from her space and shook it in her hand, the golden light shining brightly under the sunlight, causing many young men and women passing by to stop and stare at them with some surprise.

  That cold and stern man also swept Tang Xin with a glance, stood up, and continued walking silently upwards. The young girl saw him start walking again and couldn't help but feel anxious, hastily standing up and calling out: "Gong big brother, my legs are sore to the point of no return, can't you just rest for a bit longer?"

  "Can't walk, then go back!" The cold voice was devoid of any emotion, without a hint of sympathy or tenderness. He walked his own path, not even turning his head to look back, his footsteps steady and powerful, his breathing calm and peaceful. Under the scorching sun, he didn't even break a sweat, which made everyone secretly size him up with suspicion.

  Among them, there were some women who saw his handsome face and icy demeanor, secretly admiring him. In order to get closer to him, they didn't mind exhausting themselves by closely following behind him, but the distance between them was still gradually increasing.

  Tang Xin's eyes flickered, a faint smile playing on her lips as she gazed at the two people above. She continued to climb, her pace slow and steady, not like someone rushing to the mountaintop, but rather like a leisurely person admiring the scenery. While others were sweating profusely under the scorching sun, she didn't have a single drop of sweat on her, her demeanor carefree. It was just that due to her ordinary appearance, no one noticed her uniqueness.

  She didn't know when she started walking slowly, step by step upwards, but she overtook one person after another in front of her. While others were panting, she was still breathing steadily. Until the girl who had been ahead of her earlier also fell behind, panting and climbing up from behind. Until she walked shoulder to shoulder with the cold-looking man, neither fast nor slow, exactly the same pace, the same speed.

  At this time, the cold and stern man also furrowed his brow, glanced at the green-clad woman who had been following him, pursed his lips, and a hint of dark light flashed in his eyes.

  Tang Xin, however, ignored the men's gaze and walked her own path until she saw the majestic gate of Xianmen not far ahead. The three large characters "Nan Xian Men" could be seen from a distance, and at the gate, there were about eight men standing upright, guarding their posts.

  Is this the Southern Immortal Gate, one of the Four Great Sects of the Tiger Roar Continent? She was excited at the thought of being able to cultivate elixirs and her heart was filled with boundless joy. However, she did not know that entering the Southern Immortal Gate would require an assessment, and she would have to listen to the sect's cultivators and be assigned to a mountain peak or become a disciple under one of the immortals.

  "To enter the immortal's gate, one must first take a test. Those who pass will be admitted, while those who fail will return from whence they came." A middle-aged fat man sat at the entrance of the immortal's gate, with a desk in front of him bearing two large characters that read "test" and a record book.

  But before them, there were already people lining up in a long queue, estimated to be those who had come earlier. Tang Xin saw the cold and stern man also walking over to join the queue, and with a flicker of her eyes, she walked to the entrance, asking the guards about the matters within the sect. She found out that which mountain peak and which cultivator's name one would be assigned to were all uncertain, however, everything could be settled with money, and money could move everything.

  Tang Xin's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile in her eyes deepened. That made things easier. Problems that could be solved with money weren't problems at all.
