Qingniao Yard.
Lin Sheng sat in the separate courtyard, waiting quietly.
He knew very well that this matter involved two major forces, the Seven Forms Sect and the White Dragon Gang, so he simply came directly to the headquarters and reported the matter to Xie Qingyun for her to handle.
When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up. This is the advantage of a Sect. Moreover, since the White Dragon Gang attacked him first, if the Seven Forms Sect uses this to make trouble and hold them accountable, the White Dragon Gang should also have to shed some blood.
However, the specifics still depend on the intentions of those above; he could only make wild guesses here.
At this moment, he had also guessed some of the reasons why the White Dragon Gang attacked him.
He had no connection with the White Dragon Gang and had never dealt with anyone from the White Dragon Gang.
Considering the increasingly chaotic situation in the city now due to the discovery of the fifty-thousand-year-old beast mine in Yunshui Mountain.
It was very likely that the White Dragon Gang wanted to use his life to make the situation more chaotic, even forcing the Seven Forms Sect to get involved.
After all, the Crimson Whale Hall and the Seven Forms Sect, two forces, each occupied a peak in Yunshui Mountain.
They had not shown too much enthusiasm for the struggle over the remaining peaks in Yunshui Mountain, seemingly content to watch the tigers fight from the mountain.
As the White Dragon Gang and the Fang Family clashed more fiercely, they naturally wouldn't let the Crimson Whale Hall and the Seven Forms Sect merely watch the show from the sidelines.
And to draw these two major forces into the fray, a significant conflict must erupt between them. Nothing would be more suitable than the tragic death of a direct Disciple.
Direct Disciples can be said to be the Core Disciples of every major force, basically considered the future of that force, and also the face of the Sect. Therefore, no Sect can take the death of a direct Disciple lightly.
And in the eyes of the White Dragon Gang, he, a direct Disciple who had just joined not long ago, was undoubtedly the best target.
Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat.
If the opponent had sent a Bones Transformation expert this time instead of a Blood Transportation Warrior, would he still be safe and sound?
If he hadn't broken through to the Blood Transportation Realm, he was confident he could defeat the White Dragon Gang's branch Master, but he might have had to pay some price, definitely not as simple as it was now.
"I didn't expect the struggle between major forces to affect me."
Lin Sheng frowned, feeling quite helpless.
Now that his Realm had broken through and his strength had improved significantly, he had a certain degree of self-preservation. However, in front of a major force like the White Dragon Gang, which had multiple Bones Transformation experts, it was still somewhat insufficient.
"I hope the Sect can handle this matter properly."
As he was thinking this, footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard. He looked up and saw Xie Qingyun walking towards him with a look of anger on her face.
He quickly stood up and bowed to Xie Qingyun.
"Master."
"Sheng'er, no need for formalities. How are you? Have you taken the healing pills I gave you?"
Seeing Lin Sheng come out, the anger on Xie Qingyun's face dissipated, revealing a smile.
"It's nothing serious anymore. Thank you, Master, for the medicine."
Before coming up the mountain, he had deliberately made his vital energy and blood disordered, feigning injury, so as not to appear too outstanding.
"It's good that you're alright. Those bastards from the White Dragon Gang are truly despicable. I didn't expect them to make a move on you. Fortunately, this time it was a false alarm."
Xie Qingyun reached out and placed her hand on Lin Sheng's wrist to sense him. Only after confirming he was fine did she feel relieved.
"How is it, Master? How should this matter be handled?"
Seeing the unusual expression on her face, Lin Sheng asked.
Hearing this, Xie Qingyun sighed and shook her head slightly.
"The White Dragon Gang branch Master you killed was named Fei Long. He had some status in the White Dragon Gang. The Sect's intention is not to blow this matter up. The Sect will negotiate with the White Dragon Gang and give them a warning."
"Just a warning?"
Hearing this, Lin Sheng frowned. He didn't expect the outcome to be like this.
This result was somewhat different from what he had imagined.
In his opinion, the best way to handle this would undoubtedly be to unite with the Crimson Whale Hall to pressure the White Dragon Gang. Not to mention making them shed a lot of blood, they should at least pay some price.
Even without uniting with the Crimson Whale Hall, with the strength of the Seven Forms Sect, for a direct Disciple to be attacked and only receive a small warning seems a bit weak.
"That's right. This is the result of the discussion among the several major yard Masters within the Sect. It is a time of many incidents, and the Sect Leader's intention is not to increase conflicts."
Xie Qingyun said slowly, her gaze falling back on Lin Sheng.
"After this, the White Dragon Gang won't easily make a move on our Seven Forms Sect Disciples again."
As she said this, she seemed to remember something, and a look of solemnity appeared between her brows.
"Xiao Sheng, you should cultivate in the Sect for now. That Fei Long was a subordinate of the White Dragon Gang's Third Master, Shi Gu. This person is ruthless, violent, and always acts without considering the consequences. I'm worried that after he receives the news, he might recklessly come looking for trouble with you."
"Once the Sect sends a message to the White Dragon Gang's First Master, that Shi Gu won't dare to do anything more."
"White Dragon Gang's Third Master?"
Hearing his Master's words, Lin Sheng's brows furrowed even tighter.
"Does Master mean this person might come looking for trouble with this Disciple?"
"There is a possibility. To be safe, you should cultivate in the Sect during this time. No one here would dare to do anything to you."
"But Master, this Disciple has family in Wanhua City."
"That's fine. I'll send someone to pick them up later."
"This Disciple will go personally."
Lin Sheng said in a deep voice.
"This... alright. Go quickly and come back quickly. I'll have your Senior Sister go back with you." Xie Qingyun hesitated slightly, then nodded.
"Thank you very much, Master. This Disciple will take his leave now."
Lin Sheng cupped his hands and left quickly.
Leaving the Qingniao Yard, he went down the mountain, said a few simple words to Cao Ying, telling her not to return to Wanhua City for the time being, and then hurried towards Wanhua City.
After learning that he might be targeted by experts from the White Dragon Gang, he was very worried about Lin Hong and Xie Guilan, as well as Xiao Shi, Wang Dehai, and Lao Zhou.
With the strength of the White Dragon Gang, investigating him would undoubtedly be simple.
So, while anxious, the speed of his feet was like lightning.
"Junior Brother Lin, don't worry. It's only been a few days since this happened. I don't think even that Shi Gu would get the news so quickly. Even if he already knows, he might not dare to make a move on you."
Behind Lin Sheng was Wei Yun. As if sensing Lin Sheng's urgency, she spoke to comfort him while hurrying on their way.
After learning that Lin Sheng had been attacked, she was also shocked and angry. The last time a Seven Forms Sect direct Disciple was attacked was many years ago. She didn't expect it to happen in their Qingniao Yard now.
"I understand what Senior Sister means, but to avoid any accidents, it's better to be faster."
He knew what Wei Yun meant. From the time Fei Long attacked him to his return to the Seven Forms Sect, it had only been two or three days.
Moreover, he hadn't left any White Dragon Gang survivors, so the other party likely hadn't received the news yet.
However, he still felt a little uneasy, so it was better to get everyone to the Seven Forms Sect as soon as possible.
"That's fine too. Then let's be faster."
Seeing this, Wei Yun didn't say anything more. She increased her speed and quickly surpassed Lin Sheng.
As an expert in the late Blood Transportation Realm with a Bloodline of upper-middle quality, her strength was above Fei Long's, especially since the Qingniao Yard was known for its speed and explosive power.
So, while she was a little surprised by the speed Lin Sheng displayed, she didn't pay too much attention to it.
However, she soon surprisingly found that Lin Sheng, who had been left behind, had caught up.
And his speed even showed a tendency to surpass hers.
Filled with curiosity, she immediately increased her speed again.
And Lin Sheng behind her also followed suit and increased his speed, with the distance between them even closing little by little.
Seeing this, a faint green light appeared on Wei Yun's legs.
Her already extremely fast speed increased by another twenty percent, instantly widening the distance.
And this time, what surprised her was that after the initial silence, the other party had barely managed to keep up again.
However, as she increased her speed again, Lin Sheng did not continue to chase this time.
Seeing this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, she had already used her Bloodline Power, reaching ninety percent of her speed.
She was even slightly faster than some Martial Artists of the same Realm who specialized in speed.
And this Junior Brother Lin of hers, who had just broken through to the Blood Transportation Realm, was actually able to achieve this.
This also made her realize that she seemed to have underestimated this Junior Brother before.
Originally, he thought that Lin Sheng's ability to kill that Fei Long was basically due to the escort from the Blade Breaking Escort Agency. After all, the Blade Breaking Escort Agency was also a well-known large escort agency, and there were quite a few good experts among their escorts.
Now it seemed that this Junior Brother of hers must have played some role. At the very least, such speed for harassment from the side was quite a headache.
"Junior Brother Lin, it seems the martial art you are cultivating after entering the Blood Transportation Realm is quite good. Although it's not a true technique, among first-rate martial arts, it should be considered upper-tier."
"Yes, Senior Sister. The martial art I cultivate is a pure speed-oriented technique, excelling in speed and flexibility. Other aspects are just average."
Lin Sheng's steps didn't stop. As if knowing the other party would ask this, he replied directly.
At this time, he had unleashed his speed to the maximum. Of course, the beast soul integrated into his body was not the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, but the Black Tiger Ape and the Crimson Mane Horse.
With the six points of agility increase from the two high-grade mortal beasts, the speed he unleashed was extremely fast, not inferior to many Martial Artists in the late Blood Transportation Realm, and even slightly surpassing them.
Such performance seemed quite eye-catching for him, whose Bloodline was of the lowest quality. However, at this moment, he didn't care too much about these things. After Fei Long died by his hand, he was already destined to enter the sight of certain people.
It was better to display his strength and talent. This would also gain him the attention of the higher-ups in the Sect, and perhaps he would even gain some resource benefits.
"Being able to do this is already quite good."
A smile appeared on Wei Yun's face. What the other party said was indeed what she was thinking.
As the Senior Sister, she was very happy to see that the Qingniao Yard would have another Disciple with good strength.
After that, the two of them did not speak much more but focused on hurrying on their way.
The journey that originally would have taken more than half a day was completed by the two of them in just over an hour, and they had already arrived in Wanhua City.
Upon arriving at their residence in the city, Lin Sheng immediately went to the courtyard where Lin Hong and Xie Guilan were. After seeing that the two were safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then immediately notified Xiao Shi to call Wang Dehai and Lao Zhou over.
The few of them then got into the carriage that Wei Yun had already prepared and hurried out of the city.
Everyone moved quickly, and before long, they had driven out of Wanhua City and headed straight towards the Seven Forms Sect.
Soon, the tall and majestic city walls of Wanhua City continuously shrunk in their sight.
Lin Sheng and Wei Yun sat outside the carriage, driving the horses.
"Seeing your family safe, Junior Brother Lin, you can finally relax, right?"
Wei Yun said with a faint smile on her face.
"Yes, but I can only completely relax once we reach the Seven Forms Sect quickly."
Lin Sheng raised his whip and brought it down heavily.
The carriage was dispatched by Wei Yun from the Seven Forms Sect's station in the city. The horses pulling the carriage were high-grade mortal beasts, with considerable endurance and speed. Although not as fast as when they came, they were still quite good.
Although they had picked everyone up now, he still didn't dare to relax at all. After all, the White Dragon Gang's influence was not weak, and their businesses and informants were spread throughout Wanhua City. If the other party had already targeted him, they would definitely know the news of him leaving the city with people.
Therefore, he would occasionally raise his whip and lash it down fiercely, which was hard on the two horses pulling the carriage.
The carriage sped away, leaving dust behind. Before long, the majestic city walls of Wanhua City had disappeared from sight.
Suddenly, Lin Sheng's heart tightened, and an inexplicable feeling of restlessness arose. There was a faint stinging sensation on the exposed skin of his body.
"This is..."
This anomaly shocked him.
However, he quickly reacted.
"The Caiyu Worm's danger perception!"
That's right. Since entering Wanhua City, he had integrated the Caiyu Worm and Big Yellow into his body, replacing the Crimson Mane Horse and Black Tiger Ape.
He couldn't control the change in body shape after integrating the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey yet, so integrating these two exotic beasts, which excelled in perception, was most suitable, allowing him to detect danger in advance.
From entering the city to leaving, with his high perception, he hadn't detected any suspicious gazes, which reassured him greatly. However, he still felt a faint sense of foreboding, which was why he had been driving the carriage with all his might, trying to return to the Seven Forms Sect as early as possible.
He originally thought that as they moved further away from Wanhua City, no more accidents would occur, but now that the danger perception had been activated, there was clearly some danger.
Lin Sheng looked ahead. Without hesitation, he pulled the reins, turned the horses around, and headed towards a small path on the other side.
"Junior Brother Lin, what are you doing? Where are you going?"
Seeing Lin Sheng's action, Wei Yun asked in confusion.
"Taking another route."
After throwing out a sentence, Lin Sheng drove the carriage away quickly.
However, within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the danger perception was activated again.
Lin Sheng's face darkened. He pulled the reins again without hesitation, changing direction.
Woof woof woof...
At this moment, a dog's head popped out of the carriage. It was Big Yellow's, barking towards the front.
Wei Yun also seemed to realize something. She frowned, her gaze constantly scanning the surroundings, trying to find something, but found nothing.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Lin Sheng suddenly tighten the reins, coming to an abrupt stop.
He didn't ask any more questions, because following Lin Sheng's gloomy gaze, a figure had appeared in front of them at some point.
