As night fell, the neon lights of the city flickered like dazzling jewels, adorning the bustling night sky. Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er were slowly cruising in their Hover Car amidst the endless stream of traffic, moving like a snail.
"This speed is slower than when I deliver takeout," Lin Yuan complained impatiently, tapping his fingers. "If I had known, I might as well have ridden my little Electric Scooter. At least I could weave through the traffic and feel the rush of wind, just have to be careful not to spill the food."
Su Jiu'er shot him a glare and retorted, "With your old Electric Scooter, you'd probably get pulled over by the traffic police before you even got halfway. The fines would be enough for you to enjoy several meals of Spicy Hot Pot, and that’s with extra meat and eggs."
Lin Yuan chuckled sheepishly, scratching his head. "True, safety first. Besides, I'm a Cultivator now; I can't be running around like those ordinary folks on an Electric Scooter. That would be so embarrassing. I should at least have a Flying Sword or something; Sword Flight would be way cooler."
Suddenly, the Hover Car jolted violently and came to a halt as if it had crashed into an invisible wall. Lin Yuan nearly slammed into the seat in front of him; if it weren't for his seatbelt, he might have performed an aerial somersault.
"What the hell?" Lin Yuan rubbed his nose in confusion. "Did we hit the legendary Ghost Traffic Jam? In this day and age, even Hover Cars can get stuck like this—it's unbelievable."
Su Jiu'er furrowed her brow, staring out the window with a grave expression as if she had just swallowed a fly.
"Something's not right," she said in a low voice. "Look at the cars ahead; they're all stalled as if something has immobilized them. Plus, I sense an unusual Spiritual Energy Fluctuation in the air, like someone is up to no good."
Lin Yuan activated his Gazing Ability to carefully perceive the flow of Lingqi around them and noticed several Unidentified Flying Objects hovering above the city, flashing with eerie lights like a group of drunken fireflies darting through the night sky.
"What on earth are those?" Lin Yuan exclaimed with wide eyes. "Are aliens here for a vacation? Or is some tech company just messing around with new flying devices? Their design is so bizarre—looks like a giant mosquito coil. I wonder how effective it is at repelling mosquitoes."
"Stop joking," Su Jiu'er scolded him with annoyance as she gave him a light shove. "This must be some kind of spiritual artifact; whoever controls them is not to be underestimated."
Just then, a deafening explosion erupted nearby, sending shockwaves through the air. Flames shot into the sky as thick smoke billowed out, startling even the stray cats on the roadside.
“It’s bad, they’re heading towards the Cultivator Community!” Su Jiu'er’s expression changed, urgency lacing her voice. “It seems the Qi Gong Association has already started their move. We need to hurry over and take a look!”
Lin Yuan’s face darkened as well, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes, like a sword ready to be unsheathed.
“These guys really have the audacity,” he gritted his teeth and said, “to dare cause destruction in the city. It seems they won’t know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has unless we show them some consequences!”
The Hover Car was stuck tight in traffic, unable to move at all. Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er had no choice but to abandon the vehicle and proceed on foot towards the Cultivator Community. Along the way, they witnessed numerous signs of battle: damaged buildings, panicked citizens fleeing in all directions, and a strong Spiritual Energy Fluctuation filling the air, akin to boiling water that could explode at any moment.
“The situation is worse than we imagined,” Su Jiu'er said while running. “It looks like the Qi Gong Association came prepared; they want to create chaos to divert our attention. This tactic is quite insidious.”
As they reached the vicinity of the Cultivator Community, the scene before them was even more shocking. The community was engulfed in chaos: buildings had collapsed, flames soared into the sky, and terrified citizens scattered like monkeys chased by hornets, creating an utterly chaotic scene.
Three members of the Qi Gong Association, dressed in black uniforms, were wantonly destroying everything around them, their faces twisted into savage smiles, like wolves that hadn’t eaten for three days suddenly finding meat.
“Stop!” Lin Yuan’s furious roar echoed through the night sky like thunder, startling the three Qi Gong Association members into momentary stillness as if they had been frozen in place.
The three members turned to look at Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er, their faces displaying contemptuous smiles as if they were gazing at two little lambs lost among wolves.
“Oh, isn’t this Master Lin and Miss Su?” one burly man with a face full of excess flesh said mockingly. “What brings you here? This isn’t a playground for you; you’d better hurry home and wash up for bed before you get splattered with blood.”
“Just you little lackeys dare to act wild here?” Lin Yuan sneered coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. “Today, let me show you what true power looks like and make you understand why flowers bloom so red!”
Lin Yuan activated his Gazing Ability, precisely locking onto the positions of the three Qi Gong Association members. In a flash, he darted forward like a bolt of lightning, his speed so fast that it was nearly impossible for the naked eye to follow.
Su Jiu'er took out a compass, guiding the flow of Lingqi to weaken the enemy's attack power and provide support for Lin Yuan. The two worked together seamlessly, like flowing water, leaving the surrounding citizens in awe.
In an instant, an intense battle erupted. The clash of Lingqi sent sparks flying, resembling a breathtaking fireworks display—brilliantly colorful yet filled with a sense of danger.
During the fight, Lin Yuan unexpectedly discovered a weapon used by a member of the Qi Gong Association that contained special technological elements. This reminded him of his earlier encounter with Nan Gong Xuan. Could there be a connection between them? This thought took root in his mind like a seed.
However, now was not the time for such musings. Lin Yuan had no time to think further as he continued to engage in battle, using both fists and feet with lethal precision, leaving the three Qi Gong Association members crying out for mercy and unable to fight back.
Ultimately, Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er joined forces to subdue the three members of the Qi Gong Association, binding them tightly like zongzi and tossing them to the ground. After the battle, they assisted the injured citizens and comforted those in panic, showcasing their heroic image as saviors.
"Everything is fine now; there's no need to be afraid," Lin Yuan said gently. "We will ensure everyone's safety. You can all go home and rest."
As they watched Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er walk away, the citizens' eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration. They applauded and cheered as if welcoming heroes returning from victory.
Upon returning to their temporary residence, Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er began analyzing the clues left at the scene. They realized that the Qi Gong Association's retaliatory actions were not random but premeditated; it seemed they were searching for something, which left them feeling perplexed.
"What exactly are they looking for?" Su Jiu'er asked curiously, like an inquisitive kitten.
Lin Yuan stroked his chin, lost in thought like a statue deep in contemplation.
"Could it be..." Lin Yuan suddenly had a revelation, his expression changing. "Could it be... an Ancient Artifact?"
