Volume 2: The Wooden House on Yingzhou Chapter 1: Ambushed and Killed Halfway

  "Father, mother, uncles and aunts, don't send me off anymore. Let's part ways here." Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with a hint of reluctance, but he didn't have the qualification to stay behind and enjoy family affection now. The path of cultivation is both difficult and treacherous, like walking on thin ice, where one misstep could lead to death without even a burial ground. But in his heart, he knew that if he wanted his family members to be safe and sound, he had to forge ahead bravely!

  The path of cultivation, once he stepped on it, he could never turn back.

  "Alright, let's send you off here. After returning to the sect, cultivate well and don't disappoint Master and Medicine Immortal's expectations." Xiao Wenshan sighed, leading everyone to stop in their tracks. Behind him, his mother looked at her son who was about to leave again, her eyes reddening as she covered her mouth and turned away.

  Xiao Chen felt a pang in his heart, not wanting to add to the sadness of parting. He cupped his hands and said to Sun Zhanglao and Ma Zhanglao, "In the future, my Xiao family will entrust you two elders to take good care of them. I, Xiao Chen, thank you for your kindness here." As he spoke, he bowed deeply.

  The two of them hastily lifted him up, repeatedly saying "should".

  Xiao Chen nodded slightly, his eyes scanning over the crowd, and let out a soft sigh: "Let's go!"

  He closed his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, he threw out a circular treasure, pouring his spiritual power into it. In an instant, it expanded to two feet in diameter, and Xiao Chen's body flashed with a faint light before gently landing on the disk.

  Xiao Lin followed closely behind, and the two of them waved their hands at the people below on the round platform before turning around and rushing off into the distance with a burst of wind.

  "Mr. Xiao, don't worry, Elder Xiao Chen is a rare talent that appears only once in a thousand years, and he is highly valued by the sect leader and the Medicine Ancestor. His future achievements are boundless, you should be happy about this." Old Man Sun said with a smile, seeing the solemn faces of Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Wenshan.

  Xiao Wenshan raised his head, looking at the fast-moving green light on the horizon, and muttered to himself: "If possible, I would rather he have a stable and peaceful life, cultivating the Great Dao of Truth. It's hard and difficult, but why do you have to keep everything in your heart, Chen Er? However, having such a son in this life, my wife and I have no other desires!"

  。。。。。

  The sky was clear and cloudless for thousands of miles. In the high altitude, a cyan-colored object about two meters in size flew rapidly forward at an altitude of several hundred meters.

  A layer of crescent-shaped magical shield is formed on this disc, with micro-waves flowing above it, easily blocking the whirlwind brought by rapid advancement in the high air. This object is a flying artifact, and it is unknown which unlucky monk's storage bag was obtained, after infusing magic power into it, the speed is extremely fast.

  Xiao Chen sat cross-legged in the middle of the circular platform, infusing his spiritual energy to control the direction. Xiao Lin was behind him with his eyes closed, and a faint scent of medicine wafted from his body. This time when they returned home, after the incident at Jinshui Sect, the relationship between Xiao Chen's family and the rest of the Xiao family had greatly improved. After careful consideration, Xiao Chen decided to follow his father's wishes and get closer to the Xiao family members. Since Xiao Lin didn't have a spiritual root, Xiao Chen gave him many elixirs suitable for the Qi Refining stage, which should be enough to help him reach the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage in one go.

  At this moment, the two have left Xiao City for over a thousand miles. At this speed, in less than half a day's time, before nightfall, they will be able to return to Luoyun Valley.

  "Sister, this Blood Escape Technique is indeed extraordinary. Although it causes significant harm to the body each time it's used, it's extremely effective for escaping with one's life." Xiao Chen's divine sense was robust, and he split it into two parts: one part controlled the disk, while the other continued to comprehend the Blood Escape Technique from Cheng Sanjin.

  Yu Ji's disdainful voice came from the yuan Shen, "This blood escape method is indeed fast and swift, but its drawbacks are great, it can only be barely considered a middle-grade technique, far inferior to the 'Magic Wind Escape' I taught you. You have only cultivated some superficial skills now, this set of steps has been cultivated to the extreme, but when there is an opportunity to produce wind escape, such a powerful technique, at that time, even instant movement will be no match."

  Xiao Chen nodded repeatedly and smiled, "I have a plan in mind. I only learned this Blood Escape technique to deal with unexpected situations. If it's not a matter of life and death, I will never use it."

  "Hmm, you have a good eye for this... Later..." Yu Ji's soft voice suddenly paused, and then she said in a low tone: "Be careful, there are people ambushing ahead. The incoming person's cultivation may be at the Golden Elixir Realm!"

  Xiao Chen's heart suddenly skipped a beat, but his face remained unchanged. His eyes scanned the surroundings without revealing any signs of abnormality, yet the more he looked, the heavier his heart became.

  Suddenly, Xiao Chen's face turned cold and he slapped Xiao Lin away with a loud slap, his voice icy: "Don't think I've forgiven you and your father for the humiliation you brought to our family all those years ago. Just now, I was just forced to put on an act with you. Now get out!"

  "You... fine, I, Xiao Lin, was wrong about you. Xiao Chen, let's see who comes out on top in the end! One day, I'll make you regret this!" With that, Xiao Lin glared at Xiao Chen with anger, letting out a few cold laughs before turning and flying away calmly, disappearing from sight in an instant.

  Within a dozen li, Xiao Lin suddenly appeared, turned his hand and pinched a jade slip into fine powder. The angry look disappeared instantly, his face suddenly darkened, his eyes filled with worry as he swept towards the rear, and the light on his body flashed wildly as he rushed frantically towards Luoyun Valley.

  Xiao Lin's departure was imminent, and Xiao Chen's face revealed a hint of pride as he said, "A useless piece of trash without spiritual roots dares to threaten me? If it weren't for our blood relation, I would have struck you down long ago!"

  In a mutter to himself, Xiao Chen refilled the disk with magic, and in a flash of blue light, the disk suddenly accelerated... frantically flying backwards.

  "You're a cunning little mongrel, but even if you turn into that mischievous monkey today, you won't be able to escape from Old Ancestor's hands!" A cold hum came from behind, and suddenly the space in front of Xiao Chen fluctuated. A somber-looking old man slowly appeared, stretched out his hand, and beckoned. Behind him, a gigantic black net, over 60-70 meters in size, rapidly shrunk and fell into his hands.

  On this large web, a dark energy emerged, and at this moment, it revealed its shape. Moreover, a pungent smell that made people feel nauseous burst out, obviously a very poisonous treasure. Xiao Chen saw this place, and his back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If Yu Ji hadn't reminded him just now, he might have crashed into this large web head-on, and the outcome for him and Xiao Lin would have been extremely miserable.

  "Damn it, old ghost Ming Xiao, it's really you!" Xiao Chen let out a panicked roar, and the green light on the disc suddenly surged, speeding up several times faster than before, flying quickly towards the distance to escape.

  "Do you think you can escape?" Ming Xiao Lao Zu's eyes were filled with murderous intent, the powerful pressure of the Golden Elixir cultivator shot straight up to the sky, and his Taoist robe was rustling without any wind. With a cold smile, he flashed behind Xiao Chen in an instant, the distance between them less than 100 zhang, and they were rapidly closing in on each other.
