Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 195: Surprising Meeting

"This is a mission. Control yourself," said one of the women.

"What? Do you have a problem? Do you want..." the man's words trailed off, as MingYue didn't want to hear any further words from him.

At first, she still considered paying since she didn't want to waste time. If she attacked, she would get involved with the conflict in the city.

Killing these pests meant those with higher cultivation would come to this place, bringing their army. But looking at their actions, she felt it was inevitable to have a conflict.

Even if she paid, these people would just keep asking for more, thinking she was rich and easy to bully.

Stab—her sword pierced through the man's throat.

The cultivators surrounding her were not her opponents. Most were at the late foundation stage, while only two or three were at the early core formation stage.

As she slashed her sword out of the man's skull, she let her qi out, giving out her presence as a Golden Core cultivator. Making all the cultivators kneel on the ground.

Looking at the people on the ground, a thought came to her mind, 'Is this what usually means courting death? Well, the only reason I hide my cultivation is that I don't want the hassle.'

If she showed up as a Golden Core cultivator, many people in Azuremoon City would come around her, giving her many gifts and offers.

MingYue didn't say much. She turned her gaze upward as her sword slashed, cutting all the cultivators' heads off.

She took their storage rings but didn't absorb their life force.

She prepared for conflict, but she didn't want to massacre the whole city. If she absorbed even one body, rumors could spread that she is a demonic cultivator.

Even though she used a disguise now, she never knew if some strong cultivator was staying hidden somewhere nearby. It's not unheard of for a cultivator to do this.

Usually, the reason is they are stuck and looking for inspiration. But there are also oddballs who seem to enjoy the simple life of normal people.

This still doesn't mean they will stay silent if they see a demonic cultivator.

MingYue could feel many auras coming toward her, but she didn't wait for them. She came out from the array building, meeting with more cultivators who were looking at her with wary eyes. Their swords were pointed forward, but their hands were shaking.

They were caught in a dilemma; if they didn't show they were prepared to fight, their elders would judge their actions. But if they really fought, the result was clear; death.

MingYue looked upward, seeing a dozen figures flying in the air.

In the middle, there was a handsome figure giving out a heroic aura, clearly a young master from the Yang clan. But she didn't care about him.

Her aura turned more intense as it burned with hostility and killing intent. Behind the man, there was someone she recognized. The patriarch of the Xueqi Family, Zhang Xueqi.

'What a small world,' MingYue thought to herself. She started considering whether she should go all out and start a fight here or find out what Zhang was doing there.

She wondered if the Yang Clan's expansion into this area was related to his presence.

Discover worlds on m _v _lempy _r.

The group landed. The man put his hand forward, giving a respectful gesture.

"My name is Yang Fei, Senior. May I know what the trouble is?"

MingYue could feel the man was at the late nascent soul stage. But behind him, other than Zhang, there was also a Golden Core cultivator. Based on his appearance, he still looked similar to her uncle Jianfeng, which meant this cultivator was quite talented.

But other than looking at her coldly, they didn't say anything. Instead, MingYue could feel a provocation coming from the man's eyes.

She didn't find it weird since a lot of cultivators belonging to a clan or sect look down on independent cultivators. MingYue thought they were not really afraid of her, but they didn't want to incite unnecessary conflict to avoid casualties or some other party exploiting the situation.

'MingYue, it's better if you don't try to fight them,' LingHua's voice reverberated in her mind, but MingYue ignored it.

"You need to ask? You can ask their souls if you want."

Yang Fei, still smiling, replied, "It seems my people are the ones in the wrong.

I am sorry, but we are just too busy, and we cannot oversee every single one of our people.

Their death is warranted, but may I know what senior's purpose here is?"

"I want to go to Mystic Jade Valley."

Yang Fei's eyes shifted to Zhang Xueqi, to which he responded by shaking his head.

It didn't escape MingYue's sense that there was a look of relief from Yang Fei, making her think there was more than just expanding their territory involved.

It did feel weird that the Yang Clan was expanding their territory far away here, even though the area could be connected with a teleportation array. If the array was attacked, it would completely cut off any connection.

This meant the place would require a robust defense, costing them a lot of resources.

It was only worth doing this if there was a very worthy treasure in the vicinity, and it was not a one-time treasure. For example, the herb garden she just heard about is a one-time treasure; no matter how good the soil is, once the century or even millennium-aged plants are harvested, the value will drop drastically.

The only thing that usually warrants this kind of treatment is a spirit mine or a rare tree that can frequently produce rare fruit or elixir.

"Mystic Jade Valley is quite a distance away from this city. We won't take more of the senior's precious time then," Yang Fei said.

MingYue could tell he subtly told her to leave the area quickly. Her mind churned; she didn't want to have conflict now since she was also in a hurry, and she didn't want to lose Zhang's location.
