"Qianyu, that was amazing. Your Sorrowful Sword Style now has a killing move!" Chen Wentian praised.
"Master… thanks, master." Wu Qianyu said while wincing from pain.
The haze of battle lust had lifted and she was fully aware of the condition of her body. It was difficult to even stand up straight. She was exhausted. She was light-headed from too much blood loss. A soft gust of wind would have been enough to knock her down.
At this time, a small group of elite city guards fought through the bandits. They arrived at her side and formed a protective circle around her. After beating back the half-hearted attacks from some crazed followers of the Four Devils of Ping Nan Province, they escorted Wu Qianyu to safety.

Halfway across Thousand Flower City, in front of the House of Paradise, Peng Lingxi hopped down from the top of Tortoise Can Fly and returned the flying carriage to her spatial bag. The city guards around her all saluted. None of them were surprised by the strange flying contraption, having seen it often.
"Miss Peng!"
"Miss Peng!"
"What's the situation?" Peng Lingxi asked, not looking at them.
Her attention was still toward the city square which was only a short distance away. She could already sense the auras of the expert assassins that were approaching.
"Sister Lingxi, Sister Lingxi!" Lin Qingcheng pushed through the crowd and arrived in front of Peng Lingxi.
She panted to catch her breath. Her golden dress was covered in blood. Some parts of it were singed by fire. She had just rushed over after seeing Peng Lingxi arrive.
"Are you alright?" Peng Lingxi asked.
"No problem!" Lin Qingcheng replied, "What about you, are you okay?"
"I was ambushed at the city square. There were five of them. But now, I think there are more of them."
Right as she said this, a guard commander rushed up and hurriedly saluted, "Miss Lin, Miss Peng, we have a group of powerful enemies. They have wiped out several guard squads and are heading in our direction!"
"How many are there?" Lin Qingcheng asked.
"Twenty… no more than thirty!" The guard commander replied.
"What… how are they so strong?"
Peng Lingxi glanced from him to Lin Qingcheng, "Sister Qingcheng, I fought with them briefly. They are indeed very strong. One of them is at the Lesser Realm of Spiritual Awakening."
At her words, the guard commander trembled involuntarily. To ordinary cultivators, the Lesser Realms were a dream they could never realize. There was a substantial difference in strength. Someone in Spiritual Awakening could kill Spirit Initiate Realm cultivators like chopping vegetables.
"Don't worry, I will fight them!" Lin Qingcheng said, clenching her fists.
Peng Lingxi shook her head and held Lin Qingcheng's shoulder to calm the other, "Sister Qingcheng, you need to rest. Recover some energy. Right now, you can't fight at your full strength. I will handle the defenses for the moment. My condition is still good. After a while, I will need you to relieve me."
Lin Qingcheng was stumped for a moment before she nodded. Now that Peng Lingxi pointed it out, Lin Qingcheng remembered that she had been fighting and chasing after insurgents for a long time. She was very tired. Even after using the vibrating spiritual crystal inside her pussy, she was still exhausted.
With an orgasm, Lin Qingcheng could receive a burst of momentary strength and energy. But that strength was unable to take away the weariness of her body. The energy she received was also used up quickly. If she had a lot of time, she could recover with multiple orgasms but she didn't have that kind of time at the moment.
She looked around and then at the front gates of the House of Paradise that were guarded by her disciples. She suddenly had an idea. Didn't she need to quickly recover all of her strength? Wasn't there something that did something like that?
"Alright, Sister Lingxi, I'll leave this place to you. Wait for me!"
"Okay."
Lin Qingcheng rushed into the House of Paradise where she was met by her disciples. Huang Ruyan met her along with Mo Yanmi and Qin Yan. Behind them were the core disciples including Bai Lu and the rest.
"Master!"
"Master!"
"Madam!"
They all bowed.
"Ruyan, is that experimental array still there?" Lin Qingcheng asked hurriedly.
"Yes, master. The array is in perfect condition. Nobody has touched it since the last experiment."
"Very good! Quickly go prepare it. Qin Yan, gather everyone who participated in the experiment. I need them all. Yanmi, I will leave the defenses here to you. Provide whatever assistance you can to Sister Lingxi and the city guards."
"Yes, master!"
The women started rushing in all directions to carry out her instructions. Meanwhile, Lin Qingcheng headed for the array room, followed by the disciples who had previously participated in the experiment.
Soon, they were all gathered in the cozy room with the arrays drawn on the floor. The spiritual crystals were placed in the right places and the women took their positions. Lin Qingcheng was in the center. Around her were Bai Lu, Li Songcheng, Zhang Yue, and Wu Shishan. They formed the first circle of four. The next circle consisted of eight people and the third circle had sixteen.
They were all ready and looked at Lin Qingcheng with serious expressions.
Lin Qingcheng looked around and smiled, "Everyone, please relax. How can we carry out the experiment like this? I know this is an emergency. But please, try to forget about the troubles outside. Think about a happy experience, a joyful memory. Adjust your thoughts so you can get in the mood. Try your best."
"Yes, madam."
Lin Qingcheng left it at that and did the same thing herself. She didn't know if this would actually work. Everyone was worried about the state of the city and ongoing attacks. But if she couldn't rely on them, she could still rely on herself. This time, instead of staying passive, she would also participate.
Her thoughts drifted away from the tough battles she experienced just recently to the memories she shared with her master. The first thought that came to mind was that time he had swindled her into getting completely naked and letting him touch her all over.
She smiled to herself and suppressed a giggle. He was so naughty and she had been so innocent back then. She still remembered clearly; his first touch against her bare skin, the warmth that filled his hand, the heat that it created within her. She wouldn't change it for anything. If she could go back and experience it over again, she would still let him touch her like that. Perhaps, she would even encourage him to do more.
