"Lin Dong greets Senior Sister," Lin Dong said, standing up immediately and bowing to Zi Yue upon hearing Yan Xuan's words.
Zi Yue nodded to Lin Dong, then glanced at Lin Yi with her icy eyes and said indifferently, "Teacher, this time I will make Tianhuo City suffer a crushing defeat."
Her words were flat and cold, and although she didn't say it explicitly, it was clear that she thought Yan Xuan's actions were unnecessary.
Lin Yi glanced at her, his expression calm and composed.
Yan Xuan coughed lightly and said with a wry smile, "You girl, you're still the same. Don't worry, Lin Yi's mental strength is no less than yours."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yue's beautiful eyes flashed instantly. Without moving, a powerful mental shockwave shot out with lightning speed, fiercely heading towards Lin Yi, who was not far away.

Lin Yi frowned slightly at Zi Yue's unwarranted provocation. With a thought, an even more powerful spiritual force surged from his Niwan Palace and fiercely impacted the spiritual wave.
"boom!"
Two invisible mental waves collided, and a booming sound seemed to echo in the air.
The next instant, Lin Yi's mental wave directly shattered Zi Yue's mental wave and continued to impact Zi Yue!
Zi Yue's expression changed, and with a wave of her jade hand, she mobilized all the spiritual power of her Niwan Palace, which instantly transformed into an invisible spiritual shield in front of her.
"clang!"
Lin Yi's mental wave struck the mental shield, producing a clear and melodious sound.
Cracks immediately appeared on the mental shield, and then it shattered.
A pallor appeared on Zi Yue's cold face, and her body staggered backward uncontrollably, crashing into the wall of the bamboo house.
"Disperse!"
Seeing this, Lin Yi did not continue the pursuit. With a thought, he dispersed the mental wave that was rushing towards Zi Yue.
"Ahem, we've become friends through this fight. It seems your mental strength has improved quite a bit recently..." At this moment, Yan Xuan coughed and said with a smile.
"Attacking others without cause is not a good habit," Lin Yi glanced at Zi Yue and said indifferently, "It's only because of Master Yan's influence that you're still alive, otherwise you would be an idiot by now."
As the voice fell, Lin Yi's mind stirred, and the powerful spiritual energy of a three-seal talisman master suddenly pressed down on Zi Yue!
Under Lin Yi's mental pressure, Zi Yue's mind and spirit were shaken, her Niwan Palace trembled, and she couldn't help but be shocked.
"You've... advanced to the third-level seal master?!"
Yan Xuan, who was standing to the side, also looked surprised and asked Lin Yi in disbelief.
"Not bad," Lin Yi nodded slightly.
"Haha, great! With that, we're even more confident about winning this tower battle!" Upon receiving Lin Yi's confirmation, Yan Xuan burst into laughter.
After a pause, Yan Xuan looked at Zi Yue again, "Are you alright? Lin Yi and the others don't know much about the Talisman Master Association yet. If you're alright, take them around to see the place."
"I'm fine," Zi Yue shook her head slightly, then looked at Lin Yi deeply and said, "Come with me."
After saying that, Ziyue turned and left the bamboo house, but her heart was not as calm as it appeared.
At just over twenty years old, she had already cultivated to the level of a second-level talisman master, making her the number one genius in the Flame City Talisman Master Association. Unexpectedly, Lin Yi, who was even younger than her, was already a third-level talisman master!
"Master Yan, we'll take our leave now," Lin Yi said, standing up and bidding farewell to Yan Xuan before leading Lin Dong out of the bamboo house.
"What an exceptional genius in cultivating spiritual power! It's a pity I met him too late," Yan Xuan said, stroking his beard as he watched Lin Yi and the other two leave, his face full of amazement.
……
Led by Zi Yue, the brothers Lin Yi and Lin Dong strolled around this vast courtyard, which held immense significance in Yan City.
Along the way, they encountered many talisman masters, who cast surprised glances at Ziyue traveling with them.
As they walked along, it became clear that Ziyue held considerable authority here, and even some talisman masters treated her with deference.
The three walked and stopped frequently, exchanging little words along the way. After walking for about ten minutes, they reached the depths of the compound.
Lin Yi suddenly looked up at a gray tower not far away, his eyes narrowing slightly.
From that tower, he sensed an extremely terrifying spiritual power, a power that even Yan Xuan could not match.
"That is the Talisman Master Tower, the culmination of the life's work of many predecessors, a sacred place in the hearts of the talisman masters of Yan City."
Seeing Lin Yi staring at the gray tower, Zi Yue introduced it in a cool voice.
Lin Yi nodded slightly, also showing some anticipation for the Talisman Master Tower.
After introducing the Talisman Master Tower, Zi Yue started walking again. After walking for several minutes, she suddenly stopped and looked at the square that appeared in front of her.
Lin Yi followed Zi Yue's gaze and saw that a large number of people had gathered in the square.
In the center of the square, two people were sparring, while the crowd gathered there cheered them on.
Lin Yi glanced at them and immediately discerned the strength of the two combatants. One of the men in white had reached the level of a second-level talisman master, while his opponent was only a first-level talisman master.
As expected, the competition ended with the defeat of the talisman master.
"The Flame City Talisman Master Gathering is indeed nothing special. It seems that my Heavenly Fire City is determined to take this Talisman Master Tower," the white-robed man said with a loud laugh after his victory, clearly quite arrogant.
His laughter immediately drew angry glares, but he ignored them completely, took a step forward, and sneered:
"Anyone who disagrees, feel free to come up. To tell you the truth, my ranking in the Skyfire City Talisman Master Association is only slightly higher. If you can't even beat me, I think it's better to just skip this tower battle and save yourselves from suffering!"
"Third Senior Brother is right!"
As soon as the man in white finished speaking, the talisman master from Skyfire City immediately echoed his words.
The Flame City talisman masters were ashen-faced, but knowing they were no match for them, none of them dared to respond.
In the corridor, Lin Yi watched this scene and said with a faint smile, "Among the younger generation of the Flame City Talisman Master Association, besides you, is there not even a single second-level talisman master?"
Zi Yue stared at Lin Yi with her cool gaze and said calmly, "Isn't there still you?"
"As a rune master of Yan City, you have an obligation to uphold the reputation of rune masters in this city. Moreover, I was injured by you and am unable to take action. This arrogant fellow will have to be left to you."
"I don't do things that don't bring me any benefit," Lin Yi shrugged and said with a smile.
Zi Yue frowned slightly, then relaxed her brows. "I heard you've offended the Blood Wolf Gang. I can have the City Lord's Mansion warn the Blood Wolf Gang so that Yue Shan won't dare to attack you or your family."
"Since you're so sincere, I'll help you this once," Lin Yi said with a faint smile, then lightly leaped and landed in the middle of the square.
"Good, that's courageous!"
"As expected of a talisman master from Yan City!"
"..."
Lin Yi's sudden arrival excited the talisman masters of Yan City, who erupted in cheers.
"Hey, there are some arrogant fools in Yan City. But that's fine, I haven't had enough yet today," the man in white said after a moment of surprise.
"Stop talking nonsense and take action!"
Lin Yi glanced at the man in white and said calmly.
"Hmph, kid, I'm Cao Zhu from the Skyfire City Talisman Master Guild. You'd better remember this name!"
The man in white sneered, but he was clearly a cunning fellow. Before his voice had even faded, several cold glints suddenly shot out from his sleeves and flew towards Lin Yi like lightning.
"Ding Ding!"
Faced with Cao Zhu's sudden attack, Lin Yi remained unmoved. With a thought, several black beams shot out, easily blocking Cao Zhu's attack.
After blocking Cao Zhu's attack, the onlookers realized that the cold light was actually three sharp short swords. The short swords were pure white and even exuded a chilling aura.
Moreover, when Lin Yi's Shattered Yuan Sword clashed with the short sword, he discovered that the spiritual energy attached to the Shattered Yuan Sword was stung by the cold air.
It truly lives up to its reputation as a short sword forged from Ice Black Iron.
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself.
Ice-black iron is a special rare metal that is born in extremely cold places and naturally carries an astonishing cold aura. Even spiritual power can be damaged by its cold aura.
Lin Yi agreed to fight Cao Zhu because he had his eye on the three short swords the other man possessed.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi's mind stirred, and his powerful spiritual energy condensed into ten Divine Transformation Needles in front of him, which shot towards Cao Zhu as fast as lightning!
Cao Zhu's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly mobilized his spiritual power to form an invisible barrier in front of him.
However, his mental barrier was completely ineffective against Lin Yi's Divine Transformation Needle, and was easily pierced.
"what!"
The next instant, Cao Zhu felt a sharp pain in his head and couldn't help but let out a scream. He also lost control of the short swords surrounding him.
Upon seeing this, Lin Yi darted out, waving his hand and instantly storing all three short swords into his Qiankun Ring.

After putting away the three Ice Profound Swords, Lin Yi's mind stirred, and seven Shattering Yuan Swords suddenly shot out, their tips pressed against Cao Zhu's vital points such as his brow, throat, and heart.
Cao Zhu was in excruciating pain from Lin Yi's Nascent Soul Needle, and when he saw the Shattering Yuan Sword pressed against his vital points, he was terrified and cried out, "Stop! I surrender, I surrender!"
Cao Zhu never expected that there was such a terrifyingly powerful expert as Lin Yi in Yan City, who had put him in a life-or-death crisis with just two attacks.
He knew very well that now was not the time to be reckless.
"Shh!"
Upon seeing Cao Zhu admit defeat, the surrounding Yan City talisman masters immediately booed, and many of them threw back at Cao Zhu's words, making him so angry that his face turned ashen.
But faced with the threat of death, he didn't even dare to open his mouth.
In the corridor, Ziyue was also startled by this scene.
She never expected that Lin Yi would defeat Cao Zhu with just two moves, and that he could easily take Cao Zhu's life if he wanted to.
At this moment, Ziyue couldn't help but think of what Lin Yi had said to her when they were in the bamboo house.
Clearly, Lin Yi's words were not unfounded.
"It's best not to be too arrogant," Lin Yi smiled faintly, casually recalling the Shattered Yuan Sword and dispelling the Divine Transformation Needles. Then, his figure flashed, and he landed back on the corridor.
"Let's go back. There's nothing interesting to see at the Talisman Masters' Guild anymore."
After saying that, Lin Yi took the lead.
Lin Dong followed without hesitation, and Zi Yue's eyes flickered before she also caught up with the two.
