Chapter 258 Arrival at the Herb Garden
If it were just Zhang Lingyu alone, they would continue fighting without hesitation, but with Lin Qing and his wife involved, things are not so sure.
They still had a chance to leave before the swarm completely surrounded them.
"Walk!"
The burly man glared fiercely at Zhang Lingyu, then turned and fled without looking back, his destination the Spirit Herb Garden.
Seeing the two leave tactfully, Zhang Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief. In a four-on-two situation, it seemed like his side would win no matter how you looked at it, but the process was uncertain.
These two cultivators from the East Sea cultivation world were able to fight Song Siyu to a standstill, so their strength must be considerable. They had only exchanged blows for a moment, and that was already a testament to their abilities.
He really shouldn't get injured right now, otherwise he can forget about getting the Phoenix Fruit or anything else from the Heavenly Mystery Hall or the Spirit Puppet Hall.
Furthermore, during the battle between the two sides, other cultivators passing by might have ulterior motives, and then they would truly be doomed.
Giving up now is the best option.
Zhang Lingyu sheathed all the spirit swords, and then the woman in green behind him said loudly, "I am Song Siyu from Jade Light Pavilion. I am grateful to the three of you for saving me from this ordeal."
He turned around and saw that although the other party thanked him, he did not put away the magic sword. His gaze swept back and forth between the three of them, still showing a strong sense of vigilance.
After all, this was the ruins of the Spirit Puppet Sect. A cultivator of dubious origin had saved her, and it was inevitable that he might have ulterior motives. She took a step back slightly, secretly forming a talisman in her mind, ready to throw it out at any time.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Song. I am Zhang Lingyu, the head of the Zhang family in Yingchuan County. These two are my close friends, Lin Qing and Chen Xiaomeng, a couple of independent cultivators."
"Lin Qing/Chen Xiaomeng greets Fellow Daoist Song!"
After Zhang Lingyu gave his introduction, the couple bowed respectfully.
"The head of the Zhang family in Yingchuan County."
A glint flashed in Song Siyu's eyes as she looked at Zhang Lingyu, who appeared to be an elderly man with white hair. She remained vigilant and asked in return:
"I've also heard of Clan Chief Zhang's reputation. I've heard he shone brightly in the Water Moon Secret Realm, skilled in using spirit insects and the Six Paths Thunder Flying Sword. Your methods just now were quite similar to his..."
"However, I've heard that Clan Chief Zhang is about my age, and your attire and appearance..."
Zhang Lingyu felt embarrassed after hearing this. In order to avoid being recognized, he had been appearing in public as an old man. So he made a hand seal to cancel the transformation spell. With a few movements of his face, he returned to his original appearance.
Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Song Siyu breathed a slight sigh of relief, but her vigilance did not lessen.
"Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Song. My family is merely a Foundation Establishment family. We must be careful when we go out, because it would be bad if we obtained something good here and were targeted by someone."
Seeing that she remained wary, Zhang Lingyu continued to explain:
"To tell you the truth, fellow Daoist, before I took over as clan leader, I trained in Tianliu City for a period of time. It just so happened that the Blood Demon King came to attack because his offspring had died, so I participated in resisting the beast tide. At that time, True Person Bai Yan came to the rescue and was fortunate enough to witness his superb swordsmanship."
"I happened to be passing by when you fell into trouble today. After observing for a while, I noticed that your swordsmanship was somewhat similar to that of a True Person. I figured you were probably Fellow Daoist Song, and a disciple of a high-ranking sect, so I offered my help."
Actually, it wasn't just twice. He was also among those rescuing Jingxin Pavilion and even spoke with Master Bai Yan.
"I see. I was overly suspicious of your identity, fellow Daoist. If I offended you earlier, please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Zhang." Song Siyu blinked and finally put away her longsword.

Her identity is no longer a secret to the outside world, but of course, it's not something just anyone can know.
Currently, whether it's the Six Paths Mystic Thunder Flying Sword, the spirit insect, or the characteristics of the cultivation technique, they all point to the identity of the Zhang family patriarch in Yingchuan County. If there is any further doubt, we will show no mercy.
"It's alright, it's always good to be vigilant when you're out and about." Zhang Lingyu didn't care. If he were in her shoes, he probably wouldn't even have put his sword away.
He deliberately kept his distance and continued to ask, "Fellow Daoist Song, why did these two ambush you here? As a disciple of the upper sect, you should reunite with the others as soon as possible."
"Please excuse my presumption, fellow Daoist. When I arrived, I found myself in a rather secluded area. Most of my fellow disciples were on this side, so I rushed over without stopping. I didn't expect..."
Song Siyu sighed and continued:
"We had agreed to meet at the Spirit Herb Garden, and we were almost there when we were ambushed by these two cultivators from the East Sea. As for the reason... it was simply because they saw that I was alone and were greedy for beautiful women and treasures."
As a disciple of Master Bai Yan, his strength is top-notch in the Jade Light Pavilion. He was able to kill a severely injured peak demonic cultivator when he was in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and he could easily take on two opponents at once.
However, she had never fought against any cultivators from the East Sea cultivation world. The tall, thin cultivator had a jade mirror in his hand that could constantly interfere with her, causing her to fall into a disadvantageous position.
Of course, she also asked her fellow disciples for help, but she didn't expect that Zhang Lingyu would happen to pass by and help her out of the predicament.
And that leather armor was definitely no ordinary item.
Song Siyu's ability to persevere for so long is truly worthy of being Bai Yan Zhenren's disciple.
He continued:
"We're also heading to the herb garden, and it's still a short distance away. Why don't we go together?"
"Your fellow disciples are on their way here. It's not too late to separate once you've all gathered together."
Song Siyu sensed the jade pendant briefly and realized that she was not far from her close fellow disciples, so she nodded in agreement.
The four moved quite quickly, arriving at Lingyuan Peak, where the Spirit Herb Garden was located, in less than a quarter of an hour. This peak was enveloped by a thick layer of restrictions. Unlike the Heavenly Mystery and Spirit Puppet Palaces, the restrictions here had been breached, and cultivators were continuously entering.
Zhang Lingyu's heart sank. Such a strong restriction had been broken through, which meant that there must be a large number of cultivators who came, and their strength should not be underestimated.
What's worse is that this opening has been there for some time now, and it's estimated that the cultivators have been scrambling to get to the deepest part.
"Sigh, it's too late after all."
He sighed, and after a few breaths, several cultivators flew out from among them. They looked quite anxious, and judging from their clothes, they were all cultivators from the Jade Light Pavilion.
"Senior Sister!"
Several cultivators approached and anxiously asked Song Siyu, "Senior Sister, are you alright? We were so worried when we received your distress message."
The fact that Song Siyu had to call for help showed how critical the situation was. They dared not be careless in the slightest and immediately left the herb garden to rescue her.
"Of course I'm fine, I'm standing here perfectly fine, aren't I?"
Song Siyu responded with a sentence, then smiled and said:
"We were able to escape this time thanks to this Clan Chief Zhang and the two fellow Daoists. You should have heard of Clan Chief Zhang; he's the one who shone brightly in the Water Moon Secret Realm."
