Master Yan Was So Excited He Couldn't Control Himself

Roar!

Bai Yun suddenly let out a roar, forming a strange sound wave that pierced straight through the Core Formation Stage expert's soul, leaving him dazed.

White Tiger Shattering Gold Roar! A gifted martial art inherited through the White Tiger Bloodline.

Struck directly by the sound wave, the Core Formation Stage expert's eardrums burst and his brain was shaken. His eyes rolled back, and he died instantly from brain damage.

"What terrifying power!"

Wu Yun clicked his tongue in amazement.

He was happy for Bai Yun. She finally had a powerful skill.

This proved that she was slowly deciphering the inheritance left within her White Tiger Bloodline.

"Very good. You can roar your opponents to death without getting close. That suits you perfectly."

Wu Yun landed and stroked Bai Yun.

Bai Yun had always been a clean freak. When attacking enemies, she used her claws and rarely used her sharp teeth.

Now that she had this powerful sound-wave technique, she would not have to worry about dirtying her mouth.

Under Luo Cheng and the others' lead, the remaining Blood Garment Sect disciples were slaughtered without mercy. With Lin Dong, a Two-Seal Symbol Master who could fly on a shuttle, and Xiao Yan, the fastest runner on the ground, not a single one escaped.

By the time the battle ended, the area before Ironwood Manor was drenched in blood.

As they cleaned up the battlefield, Wu Yun and Lin Dong pulled the Dragon Whisker Needles from Wei Tong's body one by one.

These things were precious. Although Wu Yun had over ten thousand of them, he could not bear to waste them.

After dealing with the Blood Garment Sect, the Mad Blade Martial Arts School and the Lin Family discussed countermeasures overnight to prevent retaliation from the Blood Wolf Gang.

In the end, Wu Yun decided to make a trip to Flame City the next day to find Yan Xuan, while Lin Dong remained behind to guard Ironwood Manor.

As long as Yue Shan, the Blood Wolf Gang's leader and a Great Perfection Core Formation Stage expert, did not come personally, Minor Completion Core Formation Stage experts were no longer a match for Lin Dong, a Two-Seal Symbol Master with a Natal Spirit Talisman.

So although they were under pressure, neither family was overly worried.

Wu Yun and Lin Dong had now become the pillars of both families. As long as the two of them were there, no one would panic.

Wu Yun rode Bai Yun into Flame City.

He arrived at the Symbol Master Association. Yan Xuan was a Four Seal Talismancer capable of fighting a Great Perfection Core Formation Stage expert. If he stepped forward to protect Qingyang Town, Yue Shan surely would not dare go too far.

When he reached Yan Xuan's bamboo cottage, Wu Yun had Bai Yun stay obediently in the courtyard before the door, then knocked.

"Teacher!"

"Come in!"

Yan Xuan's voice came from inside, and Wu Yun pushed the door open.

"Have some tea!"

Yan Xuan sat at the tea table. The moment Wu Yun entered, a steaming cup of tea floated before him.

"Why did you come back so quickly this time?"

In the past, whenever Wu Yun went home, he stayed for a long time—one month in Flame City, then another in Qingyang Town.

Yan Xuan did not interfere much, practically raising this disciple free-range.

The important thing was that Wu Yun had not neglected his spiritual power cultivation. He only needed to check his progress from time to time, then receive Yan Xuan's instruction and have his questions answered.

Teaching a genius disciple was easy, and Yan Xuan naturally enjoyed the leisure. Yet Wu Yun had returned after only a few days, and he even seemed somewhat anxious. "To be honest, Teacher, this disciple caused a little trouble and would like to ask you to step in and protect me."

"Oh? Tell me what happened."

Yan Xuan asked with interest.

This was the first time Wu Yun had proactively asked him for help. Naturally, Yan Xuan did not think it could be anything major. Wu Yun was only a One-Seal Talismancer, usually well-behaved—what sort of trouble could he cause? "During this trip home, this disciple killed Gu Ying and Wei Tong of the Blood Garment Sect."

Wu Yun tried to keep his tone calm.

"Oh, you only killed two people from the Blood Garment Sect? That's nothing!"

Yan Xuan said instinctively.

"I serve as an Offering Elder for the Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association. The Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association and the Blood Wolf Gang are sworn enemies. Killing Blood Wolf Gang members is no issue, and the Blood Garment Sect is merely one of the Blood Wolf Gang's dogs. Killing one or two of them is no big deal!"

After saying that, however, he felt that something was off. Those two names seemed rather familiar.

Yan Xuan asked, "Which two people did you just say?"

"Deputy Sect Master Gu Ying and Sect Master Wei Tong!" Wu Yun repeated, deliberately adding their titles.

Bang!

The teacup in Yan Xuan's hand shattered. The spilled tea even soaked his clothes.

"You call that a small matter?" He stared at Wu Yun with wide eyes.

"You practically wiped out their entire sect."

Wu Yun nodded. "More or less. Aside from Gu Ying and Wei Tong, there were also over a hundred disciples they brought with them, including two Core Formation Stage experts and more than a dozen Heavenly Origin Stage experts. I killed them all too!"

"The Blood Garment Sect has the Blood Wolf Gang behind it. Destroying the Blood Garment Sect is equivalent to cutting off one of the Blood Wolf Gang's arms. The Blood Wolf Gang won't let this go... Wait, no, that's not the point!"

Yan Xuan suddenly realized something. "You said you killed Gu Ying and Wei Tong?"

"That's right!"

"Impossible. How did you do it?"

Yan Xuan's mind went numb. His old, weathered eyes stared sharply at Wu Yun. The calm temperament he had cultivated for years was completely gone.

Master, calm down... Wu Yun slowly said, "I am already a Two-Seal Symbol Master!"

"What? A Two-Seal Symbol Master!"

Yan Xuan's mouth twitched. He became even less composed... Good heavens, how long had this boy been cultivating? Less than half a year.

Back then, it had taken Yan Xuan nearly ten years to break through to become a Two-Seal Symbol Master.

"No, no. A Two-Seal Symbol Master can at most kill Gu Ying. It's impossible for one to kill Wei Tong!"

"Teacher, don't panic. Let me show you something, and you'll understand."

Wu Yun touched the space between his brows with two fingers, and two Natal Spirit Talismans emerged from his Niwan Palace.

Yan Xuan instantly sensed the talismans' pulling force. His eyes were drawn to the runes upon them, and his mouth slowly fell open.

"Spirit... Spirit Talismans!"

Wu Yun nodded with a smile.

There was no way to hide the matter of the Natal Spirit Talismans from Yan Xuan. So after discussing it with Lin Dong, Wu Yun decided to come clean to Yan Xuan. In any case, the Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal had a clean origin, and they were not afraid of Yan Xuan investigating it.

Qingyang Town happened to need the protection of a powerful expert, and Yan Xuan was the best candidate. With the Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal as the bargaining chip, Yan Xuan would certainly agree—and be even more grateful to them.

There was no need to worry about Yan Xuan's character to begin with, especially since Wu Yun was a disciple he valued highly.

A Natal Spirit Talisman like the Ancient Vortex Talisman Seal held a fatal allure for Rune Masters.

Yan Xuan naturally could not remain immune to it. "No wonder, no wonder!"

"A Two-Seal Symbol Master with a Natal Spirit Talisman truly has the qualifications to challenge a Minor Completion Core Formation Stage expert!"

Yan Xuan's doubts had been resolved, but his thoughts were now entirely focused on the Natal Spirit Talismans.

"Xiao Yun, this talisman..." Yan Xuan was so excited that he could barely speak.

"Teacher, don't worry. I have already mastered the cultivation method for this Talisman Seal. I can share it with you at any time."

"I lost my composure. In all these years, I have never seen a Spirit Talisman before."

Hope rose once more in Yan Xuan's heart.

He had thought that he would remain a Four Seal Talismancer for the rest of his life, unable to advance any further.

But now, if he obtained the cultivation method for these Natal Spirit Talismans and transformed all his Natal Talisman Seals into Natal Spirit Talismans, he could rise to another level. Breaking through to become a Five Seal Talismancer would no longer be a problem.

And even if he failed to break through, once his talismans became Natal Spirit Talismans, his strength would still be enough to dominate the Core Formation Stage.

The Blood Wolf Gang? Yue Shan, that Great Perfection Core Formation Stage expert? Neither would be his match.

Yan Xuan was filled with vigor as well. "Rest assured, Xiao Yun. I had originally intended to have the Ten Thousand Gold Merchant Association step forward to help, but there's no need for them now. Once I cultivate these Natal Spirit Talismans, the Blood Wolf Gang will be nothing to fear!"
