Let Her Put on Airs, She Actually Has the Ability

If one were to ask why, it was because their talismans were all prepared in advance!

When others fought, they would deplete their physical strength and spiritual energy, but talisman cultivators wouldn't! During combat, these talisman cultivators were as slippery and cunning as loaches in a pond.

If they couldn't eliminate a talisman cultivator in a single strike, they would be faced with a torrential downpour of attacks, like scattering flowers from heaven.

Hearing Zheng Tianba's words, Wen Jingshu's face was filled with question marks.

What talisman cultivator? The talisman cultivator Wen Jingshu was already a thing of the past; she was now a sword cultivator! A terrifyingly powerful sword cultivator!

Talismans were merely playthings she drew in her spare time!

Wen Jingshu looked at them with dissatisfaction. She slowly drew her spiritual sword, stepped out of the defensive formation, and said,

“These talismans are merely a small appetizer. My main focus is actually the Dao of the sword.”

With a wave of her hand, over a hundred talismans fluttered through the air, floating resolutely toward the two of them.

The two of them hurriedly retreated, pulling out defensive magic treasures to resist. However, while they could withstand the Thunder-Attracting Talismans, they could not block the sword in Wen Jingshu's hand!

Almost the moment they clashed, both of them were wounded!

As for their demon beasts, without clear orders from the two, they had already fallen into complete chaos.

Low-grade demon beasts possessed little intelligence and could not be relied upon at all in critical moments.

Looking at their frantic and disheveled state, Wen Jingshu couldn't help but click her tongue.

They were both from the Beast Taming Sect, but they were vastly inferior to Qian De.

Both of them were clearly Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, and Feng Feiyun was even at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Yet, they made it look as if her cultivation realm was far superior, and she was merely playing with them.

How boring.

“Let me give you a piece of advice: don't be so ostentatious in your next life. Be low-key like me!”

Zhao Miaomiao, Shen Kuo, and Lu Hao: ?

No, her? Low-key?

If she were any more high-key, she would ascend to the heavens!!

The moment Wen Jingshu finished speaking, the heads of the two previously overbearing men were severed from their bodies, and their contracted demon beasts died one after another.

It happened so fast that the two didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy! They hadn't even sensed what spiritual root Wen Jingshu possessed!

Indeed, Wen Jingshu had barely mobilized any spiritual energy, relying purely on the most basic sword techniques.

Her opponents were simply too weak, even inferior to demon beasts.

Wen Jingshu elegantly twirled her sword and sheathed it. Lu Hao was the first to snap out of his shock, staring at her in utter disbelief as he said:

“Senior Brother Wu, you've already found your Sword Heart at only the seventh layer of Qi Refining???”

“With your aptitude, why didn't you join the Heavenly Sword Sect back then???”

The Sword Heart was the embryonic stage of Sword Intent. Having fought her way through this period while occasionally contemplating her Dao Heart, Wen Jingshu's Sword Heart had indeed begun to take shape.

Wen Jingshu glanced at Lu Hao and said honestly, “The Heavenly Sword Sect doesn't have a suitable master for me.”

Lu Hao: ?

No, with an aptitude that would only make her an outer sect disciple even in the Qingyun Sect, how did she dare boast so shamelessly that the Heavenly Sword Sect didn't have a master she wanted to acknowledge?

Wasn't it supposed to be masters choosing them???

Lu Hao looked at Wen Jingshu with an indescribable expression, finally saying, “Senior Brother Wu, you've successfully flexed on me.”

Wen Jingshu: ...

But she was telling the absolute truth!

With the crisis resolved, Wen Jingshu didn't bother responding to Lu Hao and turned her gaze to Wei Ruxue.

Wei Ruxue bowed deeply to Wen Jingshu and said solemnly, “Thank you, Immortal, for saving my life! If you ever face any difficulties in the future, I, Ruxue, will definitely not stand idly by!”

Wen Jingshu did not take Wei Ruxue's declaration to heart.

If a situation arose that even she couldn't handle, Wei Ruxue would most likely be unable to resolve it either.

After saying this, Wei Ruxue spoke with a hint of hesitation but determination, “Immortal, I want to go home and take a look.”

“I want to settle my family before following you to the cultivation world.”

Wei Ruxue's request was entirely reasonable, and Wen Jingshu also intended to accompany her. However, she wasn't alone right now; she couldn't very well bring a large group of children to the Wei family home, could she?

As for letting Shen Kuo and the other two look after them first...

Wen Jingshu couldn't bring herself to feel completely at ease with them.

After thinking it over, Wen Jingshu decided to contact Ma Qian.

Ma Qian had also run into trouble on his end.

They had also been conducting their recruitment normally, only to encounter people from the Beast Taming Sect.

These people from the Beast Taming Sect were clearly well-prepared, each possessing a cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Stage or higher.

Ma Qian and his companions hadn't found any genius prospects on this trip, but that was no reason to hand over the children they had recruited to the Beast Taming Sect.

Looking at the aggressive Beast Taming Sect disciples, Ma Qian gauged the strength of both sides. He felt deeply unwilling yet completely helpless.

Just as he was about to resign himself to his fate, take a step back, and report the situation to the sect later, the transmission stone in his storage bag vibrated.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered that before parting with Wen Jingshu, she had told him to find her if he ran into any trouble.

Since Wen Jingshu had dared to say that to him, did it mean his strength was actually very high?

At this moment, harboring a final sliver of hope, Ma Qian activated the transmission stone.

“Junior Brother Ma, is the recruitment going smoothly on your end? I've run into some issues here and need to take a child to handle something privately.”

“I've recruited about thirty children on my side. If you have time, could you help look after them first?”

Hearing that Wen Jingshu had also run into trouble on her end, Ma Qian's heart sank halfway.

Meanwhile, the aggressive Beast Taming Sect cultivators overheard Wen Jingshu's voice and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

“It must be Senior Brother Feng taking action on his end.”

“Senior Brother Feng is a cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Your fellow disciple is as good as dead.”

Suppressing his anger at their ridicule, Ma Qian replied to Wen Jingshu's transmission:

“Senior Brother Wu, I have some situations on my end as well. I can't leave for the time being.”

Hearing this, Wen Jingshu immediately thought of the Beast Taming Sect.

Since she had encountered the Beast Taming Sect brazenly trying to snatch people, had Ma Qian run into them as well?

“Is it those people from the Beast Taming Sect?”

“Hold on for another half a pillar of incense's time. I'm coming to find you.”

After saying this, Wen Jingshu pulled out a flying boat with a wave of her hand. After ushering the children aboard, she turned to Shen Kuo and the other two and said:

“My junior brother has run into some trouble, so I'm going to handle it. Well... if nothing unexpected happens, your fellow disciples are probably in danger too. I suggest you contact them.”

Once she finished speaking, Wen Jingshu slapped a high-grade acceleration talisman onto the flying boat. With a sharp swoosh, the vessel instantly shot a hundred li away.

Shen Kuo stared at the flying boat that had vanished in the blink of an eye, his mouth still hanging wide open.

He had actually wanted to go with Wen Jingshu!

Having witnessed Wen Jingshu instantly kill two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators in a single move, it was clear that this person's identity was absolutely extraordinary!

Zhao Miaomiao and Lu Hao shared the exact same thought. With a single exchange of glances, the three of them understood each other's intentions. They in unison pulled out their own flying boats and gave chase with the children in tow.

For some reason, they felt that in the mortal realm, they were safest when staying by Wen Jingshu's side.

As for putting on airs?

So what if she put on airs? She actually had the ability to back it up...
