Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 99: Fame Spreads Far and Wide

A group of black-robed patrol cultivators rushed into the courtyard and saw Huang Ying, who had two protective spells cast on her, standing in the middle with a complex expression.

Looking at the scattered flesh and blood in the courtyard, the patrol cultivators were all taken aback.

The patrol cultivators were responsible for maintaining order in Feima City and had to engage in battles almost every day. They had seen a lot.

But the deaths of these cultivators in the courtyard were too gruesome.

Li Minggui, the leader of the patrol cultivators, cautiously greeted, "Huang Shopkeeper, are you alright?"

Huang Ying shook her head, "Fortunately, you all arrived quickly. I'm safe."

Upon hearing this, many of the patrol cultivators blushed.

Baibing Hall was located in the very center of the central district, yet it was attacked and robbed by a group of rogue cultivators. They had clearly failed in their duty.

On the other hand, by the time they arrived after hearing the news, the battle had already ended.

It was obvious that Huang Ying was mocking them with her words.

Li Minggui awkwardly chuckled, "Huang Shopkeeper, your mastery of spells is extraordinary. You single-handedly defeated numerous rogue cultivators. I admire you!"

Huang Ying glanced at Li Minggui, "I don't have that ability. It was a friend who helped me."

"A friend?"

Li Minggui's expression changed. At least a dozen cultivators had died in the courtyard, and it turned out that it was all done by one person!

He cautiously asked, "Who is this friend of yours, Huang Shopkeeper?"

"It's not convenient to say."

Huang Ying waved her hand, "I'm fine now, so you all can leave."

The courtyard was very bloody, but these dead people were all involved in illegal activities. Li Minggui and his men couldn't get involved.

Li Minggui awkwardly smiled, "I'll leave a few of my brothers to guard outside for Huang Shopkeeper."

He explained helplessly, "The number of rogue cultivators in Feima City is increasing. Our patrol team only has a little over a hundred people, and we can't control this group of people at all. We are also helpless."

Li Minggui reassured, "The steward has already said that these rogue cultivators will be dealt with in the next few days to ensure the normal order of Feima City..."

Huang Ying waved her hand to dismiss Li Minggui. She wasn't interested in listening to this nonsense.

Using the Lingguang Technique, she lit up several clusters of spiritual flames and searched the courtyard. She found two storage bags containing over a hundred spiritual stones.

Huang Ying opened the storage bags, and most of the items inside were her family's magical tools. This made Huang Ying even more furious.

If Gao Xian hadn't been here at the time, she would have been in big trouble!

Thinking of Gao Xian's calm and elegant demeanor when he cast spells, Huang Ying's heart softened.

She regretted not forcefully keeping Gao Xian here earlier...

The losses suffered by Baibing Hall this time were not small, but fortunately, the valuable magical tools were in Huang Ying's storage bag. The real losses were the deaths of two employees and two guards.

However, this battle also brought fame to Baibing Hall.

The rogue cultivators in Feima City all knew that Baibing Hall had a Foundation Building cultivator, who easily killed over a hundred attackers!

Rumors always become more and more exaggerated, and the number of casualties kept increasing.

But the rogue cultivators were still enthusiastic about it. The more deaths, the better. They were excited when talking about it.

Feihua Courtyard was undoubtedly the favorite place for male cultivators and the center of rumors in Feima City.

In the evening, while other places were closed, Feihua Courtyard was brightly lit, with the sound of zither and flute playing.

It was late summer, and there were more than a dozen square tables set up in the courtyard of Feihua Courtyard. Groups of male cultivators gathered together to drink and boast. Some wealthy cultivators would even invite two beautiful women to accompany them.

Red lanterns were hung all around, and the dim lighting added a relaxed and ambiguous atmosphere.

In the center, there was a three-foot-high platform, and a beautiful woman in a red dress was sitting on it, playing the flute.

The cheerful sound of the flute filled the air. The people present were all ordinary people and didn't understand the melody or the artistic conception expressed by the flute.

They were just here for the lively atmosphere. This was what they wanted.

There were beautiful women coming and going around, whispering and emitting various enticing fragrances. Mixed with the smell of alcohol, it became the favorite scent of men.

"Have you heard? The shopkeeper of Baibing Hall, Huang, is actually a Foundation Building cultivator. She single-handedly killed dozens of rogue cultivators who were robbing her..."

A man, his tongue heavy with alcohol, exclaimed to his companion, "Who would have thought that Huang, who seems so charming, is actually a Foundation Building cultivator!"

"You're so damn drunk, it's not Huang the shopkeeper, it's a Foundation Building cultivator from Bai Bing Tang!" Someone couldn't help but interject.

"What the hell do you know..."

The two men had drunk a bit too much and started arguing.

Sitting at a table behind them, Li Shuanglin sneered coldly. What a group of fools, he thought, coming here was such a waste of time.

Li Shuanglin raised his glass and said to Xu Lingyun and Zhang Chunjiang beside him, "Brothers, let's have a drink."

Both of them were Foundation Building cultivators sent by their sect, so Li Shuanglin had to be polite in his demeanor.

Xu Lingyun had a thin and pale face, with three strands of long beard. He was dressed in a dark red robe and carried himself in a rigid and serious manner.

He took a sip from his cup, seemingly just wetting his lips without actually drinking.

Zhang Chunjiang, on the other hand, had a rough and bold appearance, tall and strong, wearing a loose purple robe. He had a more arrogant demeanor, directly raising his cup and drinking it all in one go.

Zhang Chunjiang curiously asked, "Huang Ying actually keeps a Foundation Building cultivator?"

"I've seen it myself, his spells are powerful, but he may not necessarily be a Foundation Building cultivator."

Li Shuanglin's face turned a bit ugly. The Flying Horse Collection actually hid such a powerful cultivator from him. Huang Ying's refusal to tell the truth was truly despicable!

However, there couldn't be that many Foundation Building cultivators. With Huang Ying's background, it was even less likely that he could afford to keep one.

Li Shuanglin didn't want to dwell on this matter. He changed the subject and said, "I've investigated several arrogant factions, let's join forces tonight and wipe them out."

Zhang Chunjiang laughed heartily, "A bunch of Qi Refining trash, we can crush them with a flick of our fingers."

He had drunk a few cups and was in high spirits. "A few more drinks won't hurt!"

As he spoke, he raised the wine jug and took a big gulp. He regretfully said, "The wine at Feihua Courtyard is too sticky, not satisfying enough!"

Xu Lingyun calmly said, "It's smooth on the palate, not sticky."

"Feihua Courtyard, when men and women get together, it's always sticky, what else could it be! Haha..."

Although Zhang Chunjiang's words were clearly lewd, somehow when they came out of his mouth, they carried a sense of roughness and directness, without appearing greasy.

At least, that's how Gao Xian saw it. He was actually standing at the entrance of Feihua Courtyard, twenty steps away from these three Foundation Building cultivators.

This was a distance he felt safe at. If he got any closer, it would be easy for these three Foundation Building cultivators to detect his presence.

Gao Xian had a sudden idea and decided to come to Feihua Courtyard to gather some information.

He was mainly curious about the reactions of various parties and how they viewed the battle that took place at Bai Bing Tang last night.

Hmm, along the way, he had already heard many people boasting about him being a Foundation Building cultivator, killing people like cutting grass.

Every time he encountered such people, Gao Xian would stop and silently listen to their boasting from the side.

Although he couldn't show himself, and no one knew it was him who did it, hearing others boast about his achievements still made him feel great.

Gao Xian thought that a place like Feihua Courtyard would definitely have more people boasting about him, or rather, more relevant information.

As for looking at beautiful women, he would casually take a glance whenever he had the chance, it wasn't worth coming specifically for that.

What Gao Xian didn't expect was that as soon as he entered, he saw Li Shuanglin and the other two.

Gao Xian didn't know Li Shuanglin, but he recognized the powerful and condensed aura of mana emanating from the three of them, surpassing all the cultivators he knew.

Their mana was so powerful that it could be compared to that of a Iron Scale Demonic Tiger.

From this, Gao Xian deduced that these three must be Foundation Building cultivators.

Gao Xian was shocked. How could three Foundation Building cultivators suddenly appear in a small place like Flying Horse Collection?

He secretly listened for a while, and although the three Foundation Building cultivators controlled their conversation very skillfully, their voices didn't carry beyond three feet.

However, Gao Xian had the Great Occult Divine Technique, and his spiritual awareness was exceptionally keen. Despite the three Foundation Building cultivators' careful control, he could still easily hear their conversation.

The three Foundation Building cultivators weren't being careless, they were just casually discussing eliminating a few loose cultivator factions, nothing worth keeping secret.

Through their conversation, Gao Xian quickly determined Li Shuanglin's identity. As for the other two, they were obviously Foundation Building cultivators from Lianyun Sect.

These three Foundation Building cultivators were about to embark on a major mission!

Gao Xian became interested. He had always heard Qiniang talk about how powerful Foundation Building cultivators were, but he didn't have a clear concept of it.

After reaching the pinnacle of the Lightning Dragon Hand, his speed had already surpassed Qiniang's. Coupled with Lanjie's supervision in the Bureau, he felt confident that he could sweep through the Qi Refining level cultivators.

He was now curious about the abilities of Foundation Building cultivators.

This was a good opportunity for him to see the skills of Foundation Building cultivators!
