What?! All the fairies I topped up have come true?

Chapter 106 The Celestial Masters Arrive

At this critical moment, a calm and powerful voice suddenly came from afar.

His voice pierced through the noise in an instant, carrying an undeniable authority: "Patriarch Qin, please stop!"

The voice was familiar to Lin Xiao and Qin Zhenhai.

Most of the people present were extremely familiar with him.

It was Long Yan of the Long family, who was also the head of the Exorcism Society!

Qin Zhenhai turned his head sharply, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, followed by intense anger.

"Long Yan? How dare you trespass on my Qin family again? Have you forgotten my warning that this matter has nothing to do with you? If you interfere again, don't blame the Qin family for being impolite!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look.

From the direction of the main entrance of the banquet hall, a tall and imposing figure slowly walked in; it was Long Yan.

He exuded an incredibly powerful aura, his expression was calm, and his eyes were sharp.

Behind him followed dozens of cultivators dressed in Taoist robes, holding whisks or longswords.

These people all possessed refined auras, making it clear at a glance that they were no ordinary cultivators.

The leader of this group was a white-haired Taoist priest.

He wore a moon-white Taoist robe, had a slender face, and his eyes were gentle yet carried an unassailable majesty.

"Master Xuanzhen of the Celestial Masters Sect?!" Qin Zhenhai's pupils shrank, and for the first time, a genuine look of fear appeared on his face. He subconsciously took a step back.

He never expected that Long Yan would actually be able to get the Celestial Masters Sect to come.

The Celestial Masters sect possesses profound cultural heritage and transcends worldly concerns.

Even the Qin family would never dare to easily provoke the Celestial Masters Sect.

Ignoring Qin Zhenhai's roar, Long Yan slowly walked to Lin Xiao's side.

He first glanced at Lin Xiao, who was covered in blood and barely breathing.

He glanced at Qin Yanan in his arms, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes, and said, "You two, I'm sorry I'm late."

Seeing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes, and he forced a smile, saying, "I didn't expect that Captain Long would come in person."

Long Yan gently shook his head, signaling Lin Xiao not to say anything more.

He then turned around, his gaze falling on Master Xuanzhen, and said in a respectful yet clear tone:

"Master Xuanzhen, this is Lin Xiao, whom I mentioned to you earlier. He possesses special runes; I wonder if they originate from your Celestial Masters sect?"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Qin Zhenhai's pupils shrank sharply, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Although they knew Lin Xiao could use runes, because the incident happened so suddenly, they never thought that this person might have had any connection with the Celestial Masters Sect.

Now it seems that this kid's background is not ordinary?

At this point, saying anything more would be pointless.

The gentle look in Master Xuanzhen's eyes immediately faded, replaced by intense curiosity.

His gaze immediately fell on Lin Xiao, and he asked with a hint of inquiry, "Young friend Lin, is what Captain Long said true? Do you really possess a special rune that has never been seen before?"

The Celestial Masters sect has been the orthodox school of Taoism since ancient times, in charge of the inheritance of runes and magic.

The Celestial Masters sect has an extreme desire to explore unknown runes.

The Dragon Flame's message to the Celestial Masters was that new runes had appeared in the world.

Therefore, the higher-ups of the Celestial Masters sect attached great importance to this, which is why they specially dispatched Master Xuanzhen, an elder at the Golden Core stage, to lead a group of core disciples here.

Firstly, to meet Long Yan, and secondly, to investigate the truth behind this novel rune.

Lin Xiao, who was leaning against the wall, saw the old man's question and knew that this was probably his only way to survive.

Without hesitation, he overcame his exhaustion and nodded firmly, saying:

"What the master said is true. I do have several special runes. The spirit rune used to severely injure Long Jingyuan today is one of them."

At this point, Lin Xiao paused slightly, then looked at Qin Zhenhai, whose face was gloomy, and said with a smile, "As for the power of this rune, I think Patriarch Qin should know it better than anyone else."

Master Xuanzhen glanced at Qin Zhenhai's increasingly grim expression and knew that Lin Xiao's words were probably true.

He smiled slightly, not asking Qin Zhenhai, but looking at Lin Xiao again, he said:

"Young friend Lin, our Celestial Masters Sect attaches great importance to runes. Why don't you come back to the Celestial Masters Sect with me? Once we have thoroughly studied the production and use of runes, it will be a contribution from you to our Azure Dragon Kingdom."

Upon seeing this, Qin Zhenhai immediately became anxious.

If Lin Xiao were to follow the Celestial Masters Sect, today's events would be completely irreversible, and the Long family would certainly be unable to explain themselves.

Without much thought, Qin Zhenhai immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice:

"Master Xuanzhen, Lin Xiao has trespassed into our Qin family and seriously injured the young master of the Long family. He is an enemy of both the Qin and Long families. How can we let him go so easily? Please reconsider, Master!"

"Benefactor Qin," Master Xuanzhen turned to look at Qin Zhenhai, his tone icy.

"Although young friend Lin broke into your Qin family, there was a reason for it."

You forced your own daughter into a marriage, abolished her cultivation, and then provoked Lin Xiaoyou. Your Qin family is in the wrong in this matter.

Furthermore, young friend Lin possesses special runes, concerning the inheritance of the Xuanmen sect and even the fate of our Canglong Kingdom. The Celestial Masters Sect must protect him today; anyone who dares to obstruct him is an enemy of the Celestial Masters Sect!

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of Celestial Masters disciples behind Master Xuanzhen stepped forward at the same time.

In an instant, a powerful aura swept across the entire area, suppressing the Qin family's guards.

Upon seeing this, Qin Zhenhai's face turned pale and then red, filled with both anger and fear.

Although the Celestial Masters sect never interferes in worldly affairs, it is known for the various talismans it creates and the magical techniques it deciphers.

Therefore, in the Azure Dragon Kingdom, the status of the Celestial Masters Sect can even surpass that of anyone else.

Even though he was the head of the Qin family, he would never dare to be an enemy of the Celestial Masters Sect.

But he was really unwilling to let Lin Xiao go like that.

Seeing this, Long Yan immediately seized the opportunity to speak, his tone icy:

"Patriarch Qin, the Celestial Masters Sect is here today. If you dare to obstruct us again, not only the Celestial Masters Sect, but even my Exorcism Society will not stand idly by and watch the consequences. Think it through carefully."

Qin Zhenhai clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, drawing blood, but he was completely unaware of it.

Looking at Master Xuanzhen's resolute gaze, the powerful aura of the Celestial Masters disciples, and then at Long Yan's icy expression.

He knew that this time, he had no chance of winning.

If we continue to force ourselves to stay in this position, it may be counterproductive.

In the end, he could only grit his teeth and compromise, waving his hand reluctantly and saying:

"Fine! I'll let him go today for the sake of the Celestial Masters Sect! But Lin Xiao, I, Qin Zhenhai, will remember this grudge!"

Master Xuanzhen nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Lin Xiao and said in a gentler tone, "Young friend Lin, let's go. Come back to the Celestial Masters Sect with me, and let us see the special runes in your hands."

As he spoke, two disciples of the Celestial Masters sect stepped forward to help Lin Xiao up.

However, Lin Xiao waved his hand, directly refusing their help.

He held Qin Yanan tightly, looking at Master Xuanzhen with unwavering eyes and said, "Master, if you want me to return to the Celestial Masters Sect with you, I can. But I have one condition."

Master Xuanzhen nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "Oh, what are your conditions, young friend? Just name whatever you can agree to."

"If you want me to go to the Celestial Masters Sect, you must take this girl with you."

Otherwise, even if I die with my last breath, I will never go with you, and you will never see a single trace of the special rune in my possession.

These words plunged the entire room into dead silence once again.

Qin Yanan suddenly looked up, shaking her head repeatedly at Lin Xiao, saying, "Go away, don't worry about me, don't worry about me..."

A hint of surprise flashed in Master Xuanzhen's eyes, followed by deep displeasure:

"Young friend Lin, this matter is probably not appropriate. The Celestial Masters Sect has come here only because of the special rune in your possession."

As for this Miss Qin, she is a member of the Qin family, and has nothing to do with our Celestial Masters Sect, nor with matters of runes. We cannot help you take her away.”

In his view, Qin Yanan was just an ordinary woman whose cultivation had been abolished, and she was insignificant.

The Celestial Masters sect never interferes in anyone else's affairs, and of course, it's not worth offending the Qin family for the sake of a woman.

Seeing this, Long Yan frowned, stepped forward, and whispered his advice:

"Lin Xiao, you should go back with the Celestial Masters Sect first. As for Miss Qin, she is, after all, the eldest daughter of the Qin family. The Qin family head will not harm her. Don't act rashly."

However, despite their persuasion, Lin Xiao shook her head firmly.

"I can't leave Sister Ya Nan here," Qin Zhenhai said, his heart filled with narrow-mindedness.

Given the current situation, if I abandon Sister Ya Nan and leave, he will definitely take his anger out on her.

Captain Long, I know you want to help me, but I dare not gamble, and I cannot gamble.

He looked down at Qin Yanan, who was in his arms with tears in her eyes, his eyes filled with tenderness and determination.

"I promised Sister Ya Nan that I would take her out and protect her, and I will never break my promise."

"Are you really going to insist on this?" Master Xuanzhen's expression immediately darkened upon hearing this.

Lin Xiao nodded sharply, then said, "Today, either take me and Sister Ya Nan with you, or I will stay here and die with her. The matter of the runes is over."

Qin Yanan hugged Lin Xiao tightly, tears streaming silently down her face. She choked out as she said:

"Lin Xiao, don't be like this. You go with the master. I'm fine. I can take care of myself."

Don't give up such a good opportunity for me, and don't risk your life.

"Sister Ya Nan"

Lin Xiao gently stroked her hair, his tone tender yet firm as he said:

"I said I would take you to see all the mountains and rivers, and I will definitely do it. I will never leave you here alone to suffer."

Master Xuanzhen looked at the two of them leaning on each other, and then at the resolute look in Lin Xiao's eyes, and fell into deep thought.

The special runes in Lin Xiao's hands are of paramount importance to the Celestial Masters sect.

If we miss this opportunity, we may never have such a good chance again.

However, agreeing to take Qin Yanan with him would violate the rules of the Celestial Masters Sect.

Moreover, Qin Yanan is, after all, the eldest daughter of the Qin family.

Bringing her along might only cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing this, Qin Zhenhai felt a glimmer of hope.

He sneered and said provocatively, "Master Xuanzhen, don't be fooled by this kid!"

He's just trying to blackmail you with the runes to get you to help him take my daughter away. Don't fall for it.

Lin Xiao ignored Qin Zhenhai's provocation and stared intently at Master Xuanzhen, his tone unwavering.

"Master, if you don't agree, you won't get even a single rune."

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanzhen's pupils constricted sharply, and he quickly raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Young friend Lin, everything can be discussed; there's no need to be so impulsive!"

He pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons.

On one side are special runes related to the inheritance of the Xuanmen sect, and on the other side is an insignificant woman from the Qin family.

After a moment's thought, he came to a conclusion.

Master Xuanzhen nodded slowly, his tone tinged with a hint of helplessness:

"Alright, I promise you, I will take you and this Miss Qin back to the Celestial Masters Sect."

But I have one condition: once you join the Celestial Masters Sect, you must cooperate with us in studying runes and must not keep anything secret from us.

Furthermore, Miss Qin is not allowed to move around freely while she is with the Celestial Masters Sect and must abide by the sect's rules.

A hint of joy flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

He nodded vigorously and said solemnly:

"Thank you, Master! As long as you take Sister Ya Nan with you, I will definitely cooperate with you in studying the runes and will never hide anything from you."

Qin Yanan was stunned when she heard this, and then her tears flowed even more fiercely.

Overjoyed at surviving the ordeal, she hugged Lin Xiao tightly and said, "Lin Xiao, we...we can really go together now?"

"Mm," Lin Xiao nodded gently.

"Sister Ya Nan, we can go together now. From now on, no one can separate us."

Master Xuanzhen looked at the two of them, sighed softly, and winked at his disciple behind him, saying:

"Young friend Fulin and Miss Qin, please rise. We are about to depart."

Two disciples of the Celestial Masters sect rushed forward and carefully helped Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao held Qin Yanan tightly, afraid that if he let go, she would be left behind.

Qin Zhenhai stood there, watching this scene, his eyes filled with resentment.

But there was nothing they could do.

With the Celestial Masters and Long Yan present, he didn't dare to step forward to stop them.

Even if Qin Yanan is his own daughter.

He could only watch helplessly as Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan, escorted by the members of the Celestial Masters Sect, walked step by step out of the banquet hall.

Long Yan followed beside them, watching Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

He then turned to Qin Zhenhai and said in a gentle tone, "Patriarch Qin, today's matter is over. The Celestial Masters Sect will protect Lin Xiao and Miss Qin."

However, if you dare to cause them any more trouble, not only will the Celestial Masters Sect not let you off, but my Exorcism Society will also take action against your Qin family!

Qin Zhenhai gritted his teeth and remained silent, but the resentment in his eyes grew stronger.

Master Xuanzhen walked at the front, with Lin Xiao carrying Qin Yanan in the middle. Although he was still weak, his eyes were bright.

He finally saved Ya Nan and took her away from this cage.
