Feng Linglong being able to realize this so quickly made Yun Jin a bit surprised.
She smiled slightly and said calmly, "This matter is aimed at me."
"Sect Master!" Feng Linglong immediately looked at Yun Jin in shock.
Yun Jin said calmly, "The capital didn't have trouble early, nor late, yet it happened precisely when Qin Ping had agreed to lead the dynasty cultivators to join Wushuang Sect, precisely when the upper echelons of the three holy lands entered Qingxiao Pavilion to investigate, and it was displayed so openly for the entire city's citizens to see, and it was even deliberately made known to you. Linglong, this matter was originally aimed at me."
Feng Linglong's face suddenly turned pale.
She suddenly realized that she might've made a grave mistake.
Yun Jin smiled, but her expression grew colder, "You don't need to feel guilty. Even if you hadn't said anything, they would have other ways to let me know. Qin Ping is a member of my Wushuang Sect. If I watch him suffer without any reaction, who would trust Wushuang Sect in the future? Who would trust me as Sect Master? That is only one aspect. More importantly."
A trace of softness flashed between Yun Jin's brows, "A person like your master once protected millions. Now, there are also millions willing to risk everything to seek justice for him. A person like him deserves to live well."
The capital had always been her destination for this journey, this only confirmed some things further.
"Sect Master…" A faint glimmer of tears appeared in Feng Linglong's eyes.
"Don't think too much about it." Yun Jin's expression turned serious. "Linglong, I need you to do something now."
"Sect Master, please give your orders!" Feng Linglong immediately responded.
"The message said that many citizens are heading toward the capital to save Qin Ping. I suspect that there is another conspiracy behind this. These citizens going to the capital may encounter danger. I need you to step forward, as Qin Ping's disciple, and tell them not to act rashly, especially not to enter the capital! This matter may be a bit dangerous, so I will have the Giant Lava Dragon accompany you. His flying speed in his true form isn't any slower than Lightning traveling by water. Do your best to spread the message and stop the citizens from heading toward the capital," Yun Jin said.
"I understand." Feng Linglong carefully noted everything.
Yun Jin said, "At Lightning's speed, we will reach near the capital in three more days. Follow the Giant Lava Dragon to try to dissuade the citizens, then come directly to the capital to rendezvous."
Feng Linglong first agreed, then clenched her teeth and said, "Sect Master, Senior Giant Lava Dragon is already the sect's strongest combat force. If he follows me, then by Sect Master's side…"
Yun Jin smiled slightly, "I have many trump cards, how could you fully know them? Don't worry, I will save Qin Ping."
Feng Linglong still hesitated.
Yun Jin couldn't help but laugh, "What, you don't want to save your master anymore?"
"I do." Feng Linglong answered without hesitation, then softly added, "But master once said that Sect Master is very important. Your existence is even related to the safety of this world. If it was master himself, he wouldn't want Sect Master to take risks for him."
Yun Jin raised her brows slightly, "Related to the safety of the entire world?"
"Master said so." Feng Linglong nodded. A struggle flashed in her expression, but she still said slowly, "So Sect Master, you absolutely must not have anything happen to you. Otherwise… perhaps we shouldn't go to the capital."
She had an expression of pain and anguish.
Even though not going to the capital meant abandoning Qin Ping's life.
But before coming to Wushuang Sect, her master's teachings were still vivid in her mind.
If it was her master, he would rather die himself than allow Yun Jin to suffer even the slightest bit of harm.
Yun Jin's expression was calm, the wind lightly lifting her hair. She said softly, "But Linglong, if I can't save one person, how can I save the masses? I have my Dao. If I cannot practice my own Dao, then for a cultivator, that is worse than death."
In this second life.
Yun Jin had determined her Dao from the very beginning.
The path she would walk was an Invincible Dao.
She would move forward step by step, ultimately standing at the peak.
She didn't believe in having people beyond people or mountains beyond mountains.
In the end, she would reach a state where there was no one beyond her, no mountain beyond her own.
At this moment.
If she abandoned rescuing Qin Ping.
Then a seed of fear would be planted in her heart.
From fear comes dread.
She had forged an invincible heart along the way. If she became scared now, her Dao Heart would shatter.
She would never be able to reach that supreme position.
Whether it was to practice her own Dao.
Or to preserve such a precious person like Qin Ping for this world.
This time.
She would not retreat.
And she could not retreat.
Yun Jin's voice was very calm, yet unquestionable.
Feng Linglong pursed her lips and said, "Sect Master, then please be sure to wait until Senior Giant Lava Dragon and I return."
With the Giant Lava Dragon present, Yun Jin's safety would at least be more assured.
"Alright." Yun Jin casually agreed, then urged Feng Linglong to depart.
Feng Linglong also knew the severity of the situation, she and the Giant Lava Dragon quickly set off.
After sending them off, Yun Jin turned to look at An Tong.
An Tong's expression was a bit complicated.
He had watched everything earlier but didn't say anything to interfere with Yun Jin's choice.
Yun Jin's choice was within his expectations.
If it was the former master, it would've probably been the same.
However.
With Little Master's current strength, going to face a Mahayana Stage enemy head-on was no different from seeking death.
But if she didn't go, her Dao Heart would shatter!
An Tong was extremely conflicted.
"An Tong." Yun Jin looked at him.
"Little Master." An Tong's voice carried a hint of sobbing.
He thought Little Master would definitely say something very emotional, perhaps even entrusting him with her last wishes.
Wu wu wu.
As such an emotional little baby, he would definitely cry!
"Why are you making such a miserable face!" Yun Jin suddenly raised her voice. "Hurry up and think of a way to save my life!!!!"
An Tong: "????"
Wait.
What's going on!
Little Master, this wasn't how you acted in front of Feng Linglong just now!
Just now, you were calm and composed, facing death without fear!
This shouting Sect Master right now must be his illusion, it must be!
"You're still spacing out!" Yun Jin was about to go crazy, "The opponent is at least a Mahayana Stage! The Giant Lava Dragon has a more important task and may not make it back in time. I don't have any fresh sword moves to feed the sword spirit! Senior Tianpo is still charging and who knows how long that will take! If you don't bring out Wushuang Sect's hidden reserves, your Sect Master is going to die young!"
Yun Jin grabbed An Tong and shook him up and down, "Still spacing out!!! Think of something!!!!"
An Tong felt his head buzzing.
After a long while.
He finally said with difficulty, "…Little Master, I… I've thought of something."
