Chapter 81: Wind Spirit Battle Formation

Yunwu once again politely declined, leaving Xu Daoyan quite helpless. He was genuinely worried about Yunwu's safety. Now that he had reached this realm, with some improvement, Xu Daoyan naturally understood why General Shi had sent him to Tian Shi Mansion, and why Tian Shi Mansion had agreed to let him come to Fulong Academy. Clearly, they wanted him to grow and avoid the retaliation of the Xiong people!

"Wait, Miss Yunwu, I'll be honest with you. I killed the young son of the Xiong King, Chanyu Longzi. The assailant just now was likely sent by the Xiong to assassinate me. Miss, you foiled his plan, and now you're leaving alone. Who knows how many accomplices they have in the shadows? They might try to harm you on the way. I don't want you to be implicated because of me. Although our strength is not great, if we stick together, at least we can watch each other's backs!"

"What? You actually killed the young son of the Xiong King!" Yunwu was somewhat surprised. Xiao Yan had only told her that Xu Daoyan was close to Tian Tian and asked her to try to separate the two. He hadn't mentioned this military achievement. Now she understood why Dark Cloud hadn't been ordered to kill Xu Daoyan directly. If it were discovered that he had killed a meritorious official of the Divine Dynasty, it would be a huge stain on his life. The Confucian scholars would use it to prevent him from ever ascending to the throne of the Nine States Divine Dynasty. So, using the incomplete version of the "Nine Yin Heavenly Art" to seduce Xu Daoyan was a good method. Whether or not Xu Daoyan was killed, it didn't matter much to him; as long as Tian Tian was out of the picture, the potential threat would be eliminated.

"That's right, Miss Yunwu, I'm not lying to you. Look, this is the token given to me by Lord Tian Shi, which can prove my identity!" Xu Daoyan was very serious, afraid that Yunwu wouldn't believe him, and even showed her the Tian Shi Token!

"Alright, you're so anxious. I'll believe you this time. Let's go!" Yunwu covered her mouth and smiled, her charm overwhelming. In her heart, she was secretly shocked: "So, this young man is actually a talented youth favored by Lord Tian Shi. With such a powerful backer, Xiao Yan's ambitions are not small, and one reason he doesn't want to clash with Lord Tian Shi is his meticulous planning and countless schemes!"

Xu Daoyan couldn't know what Yunwu was thinking. He didn't dare to look at her for too long and led the way, bringing her into the cave.

He led Yunwu into the cave.

Everyone's eyes turned to them.

"Brother Daoyan, who is this?" Shi Yun looked at Yunwu, feeling very surprised. This woman had an extraordinary aura, and every move she made was full of grace, clearly not an ordinary person.

"Just now, I was attacked by an assassin. Fortunately, Miss Yunwu came to my aid, allowing me to escape. Without her, I would have been dead long ago." Xu Daoyan introduced her to everyone with a sigh.

"What? Could it be that the assassins sent by the Xiong Divine Dynasty have pursued you here? They are truly relentless!" Shi Yun immediately thought of the Xiong people when he heard about the assassination, as they had been targeting Xu Daoyan for a long time, attempting to assassinate him many times in Shilong City.

"Since the young son of the Xiong King was killed, how could they let it go? This is the Xiong!" Bai Shi sighed.

"I just happened to pass by and saw the villain doing evil, so I intervened. It was just a small effort, not worth mentioning!" Yunwu shook her head, her eyes lowered, her charm natural, and her every move flawless, captivating.

"In the Heavenly Wasteland Forest, where there are no villages or towns, this is too coincidental, isn't it?" Tian Tian saw that Xu Daoyan was looking at the woman differently and felt very uncomfortable. Her woman's intuition told her that this woman was not as simple as she seemed.

"Lord Daoyan, it seems I am not very welcome by your companions. Since that's the case, I'll leave to avoid causing you trouble. Goodbye!" Yunwu smiled, her demeanor gentle, and she bowed slightly to Xu Daoyan before leaving.

"Sister Yunwu, don't mind this Tian Tian. Her thoughts are not related to us. You saved Brother Daoyan, so you are our honored guest. Please don't leave!" Ling'er moved gracefully, standing in front of Yunwu, holding her hand, and leading her into the cave.

"Who is this?" Yunwu looked at Xu Daoyan, slightly surprised. She felt that Sun Ling was not ordinary, especially her bloodline power, which was very unique, making her follow her involuntarily!

"Sun Ling, you can call her Ling'er. She is my childhood neighbor and friend!" Xu Daoyan was relieved that Yunwu wasn't angry.

"Ling'er, hello!" Yunwu smiled faintly, and she and Sun Ling got along very well.

"Sister Yunwu, hello! Tian Tian's words were disrespectful, please don't take them to heart!" Ling'er smiled, her eyes sparkling, her voice cheerful, making people unable to resist smiling.

Tian Tian felt a surge of anger, feeling as if she was being targeted everywhere. She stood up, wanting to leave, but then thought: "No, I must stay calm. If I leave now, this woman will have her way. She is definitely not a good person, and I want to see what tricks she will play!"

"Miss Yunwu, I apologize for my earlier words. Please forgive me!" Tian Tian calmed her anger with her qin heart, smiled gently, and bowed, saying, "We are on a cultivation journey, and it's important to be cautious. I was just testing you, but now I see that you have no ill intentions, and I am relieved."

"No problem, I understand!" Yunwu smiled elegantly, sitting on a stone with Ling'er's hand, "Lord Daoyan, Ling'er is very likable."

"Yes, yes, Ling'er is smart and cute, pure and innocent, the best girl in the world." Shi Yun quickly praised her.

"It seems this young man likes Ling'er very much!" Yunwu covered her mouth and smiled.

Shi Yun's face turned red, and he shook his head, "No, no, I'm just being honest!"

"Lord, now is not the time for this. Let Miss Sun Ling set up the formation. Since the Xiong people have pursued us here, we must be cautious and on guard to prevent any mishaps!" Bai Shi urged.

"Okay! Sister Yunwu, please wait a moment!" Sun Ling stood up, and five Wind Spirit Command Flags appeared in her hands, placed in five positions within the cave. Then, she cast a mark, which fused into everyone's bodies.

At that moment, everyone felt their movements become incredibly light, and the power of the five command flags, under Ling'er's control, would also impose certain restrictions on the enemy!

"Done, that's it!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Sun Family's Wind Spirit Battle Formation, right? Such a powerful enhancement ability is truly impressive!" At Yunwu's level, ordinary enhancements were not very meaningful, but the Wind Spirit Battle Formation greatly improved her.

"Yes, it is the Wind Spirit Battle Formation, but it's not the Sun Family's. Ling'er doesn't know. Ling'er only learns what her mother teaches her." Sun Ling smiled, and her words surprised everyone.

"I will continue to keep watch. Everyone, focus on your cultivation. If the enemy appears, I will lead them into the cave, and then we will attack together!" Xu Daoyan was relieved that Yunwu and the others got along well.

"Lord Daoyan, I will keep watch with you. The assassin is at the True Immortal realm, and it would be better to have someone to assist you." Yunwu stood up and smiled.

"How can I let you do that..." Xu Daoyan knew that the assassin was powerful, and he had no absolute confidence.

"There's no need to be so formal. I'll see it through to the end. Since I've already intervened, I'll see it through. Besides, I really like Ling'er." Yunwu looked at Sun Ling, genuinely fond of her.

"Go ahead, the Wind Spirit Battle Formation is effective within a ten-mile radius." Ling'er waved her hand, urging Xu Daoyan and Yunwu to go keep watch.

"Okay!" Xu Daoyan and Yunwu nodded and left.

Shi Yun had always had feelings for Ling'er but was afraid that she and Xu Daoyan, who had grown up together, had a special relationship. Now, seeing Ling'er's behavior, it was clear she wanted to bring Xu Daoyan and Yunwu together. He was delighted and approached Ling'er, saying, "Ling'er, are you trying to bring Brother Daoyan and Miss Yunwu together?"

"Yes, don't you think it would be great to have such a beautiful sister-in-law?" Ling'er, though young, was very clever and happy.

The cave was not large, and Tian Tian couldn't help but hear. She felt a mix of sourness and bitterness but didn't know what to do. Xu Daoyan still thought she was a man, and only Shi Yun knew her true identity as a princess.

"Yes, it would be great!" Shi Yun nodded rapidly, and at that moment, anything Sun Ling said was more important to him than the sky.

"Shi Yun, come here for a moment!" Tian Tian was a bit anxious and could only turn to Shi Yun for help.

After all, only he knew her true identity.

"Okay?" Shi Yun didn't dare to be negligent and came to Tian Tian's side, saying, "Tian Tian, what do you need?"

"Since we are all fellow disciples, let's not be so formal." Tian Tian was trying to win Shi Yun over, asking, "Don't you think there's something suspicious about Yunwu? In such a remote place, how could it be a coincidence that Xu Daoyan was attacked, and she just happened to appear?"

"Maybe it is a coincidence? Brother Daoyan is alone, without a strong family background, unlike you, Tian Tian, who has a noble status. This woman, Yunwu, has a noble aura and must come from a distinguished family. If she had other motives, she would target you, not Brother Daoyan." Shi Yun found it strange but, after careful analysis, concluded that he couldn't think of any motive for Yunwu.

"..." Tian Tian was speechless, as indeed, no matter how she thought about it, it was strange. If the goal was to kill Xu Daoyan, it would have been done already. If there were other motives, with Yunwu's demeanor and aura, she could easily target nobles and royalty.

"I don't care about these things, but you should be cautious about this woman."

"Uh, Tian Tian, are you just jealous of Brother Daoyan getting close to other women?" Shi Yun knew Tian Tian's identity and spoke very quietly.

Tian Tian's face turned red, and she denied it, "Nonsense, there's nothing to it. I'm just concerned about everyone's safety!"

"Uh, okay, I was thinking of bringing Brother Daoyan and the princess together, but since the princess has no interest, I won't say more. I'll go with Ling'er..." Shi Yun bowed and whispered, about to leave.

"Wait, come back..." Tian Tian's face was red, and she spoke softly.
