Chapter 115: Deep Forest Battle

  Third update! Please collect before going to bed!

  ——

  Under the vast sky, a treasure ship crushed the clouds and flew north at high speed.

  Chen Xuan stood at the bow of the boat, holding a wine gourd and taking a sip from time to time. His long hair danced in the wind, and he was carefree and uninhibited, no longer the silent and introverted weak young man he used to be.

  "Grandfather's revenge has been avenged, the next target is Longyuan Su's family..."

  Chen Xiao's mind was turbulent, his thoughts racing like a galloping horse. The annihilation of the Li family had not made him relax his vigilance; after all, the Li family was just a pawn at best. The true culprit behind the scenes was the Longyuan Su family.

  He really didn't understand why the Su family had sent so many Huang Ting Xiu scholars to tear up their engagement when he was four years old, and he also didn't understand why the Su family had been instructing the Li family to make things difficult for him all these years, even killing his grandfather and disabling his younger brother Chen Huan's right hand.

  What secret is hidden behind this? Is it related to the downfall of my Chen family?

  Chen Quan still clearly remembers that his mother, Zuoxiu Xue, told him that she was taken away by her uncle. The Left Hill clan behind her did not agree to her marrying Chen's father. In order to wipe out the shame and also to obtain the cave mansion in the jade pendant left by his mother, the Chen family became the ultimate sacrifice.

  In other words, Zu Qiu Xue's family, the Zu Qiu clan, is the culprit that destroyed the entire Chen clan!

  This is an unbreakable blood feud!

  Fortunately, according to her mother Zuo Qiu Xue, at that time she had already cut off her relationship with the Zuo family and frankly paid the due price, but the Zuo family refused to let her go...

  It's precisely because of this that Chen Tang won't be bothered about whether or not to go find Zuo Qiu Shi for revenge, revenge is a given, the key is that his mother Zuo Xue was taken away!

  Would she have abandoned her young self and her infant brother if it weren't for this?

  Absolutely not!

  "Tian Xian, why must I reach the level of Tian Xian to have another chance to see my mother? Is the power of Zuo Qiu Shi even more terrifying than that of a Tian Xian?"

  Chen Xiao had thought about this problem more than once, but he couldn't think of an answer no matter how hard he tried. Perhaps, only when he reached the Tian Xian realm would everything become clear as water flowing over rocks.

  "Hey, Chen Xiao, are you really going to participate in the Dragon Ranking Competition?" From afar, a three-inch-tall spirit, Bai, riding on a white tortoise with a joyful expression, flew over.

  The two little guys both have a hobby of eating, and once they meet, their relationship is now extremely harmonious, which belongs to the friendship between foodies.

  "Ah, I'll definitely join." Chen Xiao nodded, venturing alone into the cultivation world was an extremely dangerous thing, after all. If he could enter a sect, it would undoubtedly give him another backing.

  What's more important is that the "Ice Crane Technique" he cultivated only has the Purple Mansion Ninefold Formula, and to further improve his cultivation and break through the Yellow Court boundary, joining the sect is undoubtedly the best choice.

  Cultivation is inseparable from wealth, companions, methods, and land.

  "Wealth" refers to dan medicine, spiritual liquids, spiritual materials, and magical treasures, etc., just like worldly gold and silver, without which it is difficult to take a single step.

  "A companion" is a senior, a respected teacher, and a fellow practitioner who can guide you through difficulties and resolve your doubts in cultivation. As the saying goes, "Ten years of hard practice are not as good as one point from a famous teacher", and "When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher".

  "Fa" refers to the methods of cultivation, including techniques, martial arts, and supernatural powers, which every cultivator must possess.

  "The land" is the spiritual mountain and auspicious place, where the spiritual energy is abundant. Practicing here is undoubtedly hundreds or thousands of times more effective than practicing in the mundane world.

  If one can join a sect, it is equivalent to having wealth, companionship, law and land at the same time. This is the benefit of joining a sect. Who among the world's cultivators does not yearn to leave behind the scattered cultivation troops like lonely souls and wild ghosts, and become a disciple of a sect in one leap?

  "Oh, that's right. Once you join the sect, if anyone dares to bully you, your seniors in the sect won't allow it." Ling Bai said with a smile.

  "Not only that, by joining the sect, I can learn more spells and martial arts, and even obtain some divine abilities. Moreover, it can also broaden my horizons."

  "When it comes to this, Chen Xiao self-deprecatingly smiled: "In the past, I thought Songyan City was very big, those big shots were also quite impressive. Now it seems that they are also ordinary and mediocre. To improve one's strength, one must go out and venture into a wider world."

  "Good words!" Ling Bai applauded and praised, "My master was like that back then, with an unyielding spirit, not content with the status quo, and for the sake of honing his sword skills, what dangerous places hadn't he been to?"

  Look at this little guy showing off again, Chen Tangyun smiled and patted his little head, saying: "Your family's master talks endlessly, who is he after all?"

  Ling Bai shook her head: "I can't tell you, if you knew, a great calamity would be near at hand."

  Chen Xiao didn't force it, nowadays the little guy has been with him through thick and thin, doing this was definitely to protect himself, he could understand.

  Whoosh!

  The treasure ship sped swiftly and soon seven days had passed.

  The closer to Longyuan City, the more monks are seen on the road, some riding divine horses and cranes, others stepping on flying swords, and some driving treasure ships like Chen Tai.

  Even Chen Yu saw a monk, with his feet treading on two wheels of fire, flames spouting out, heat waves shooting out, and speed incomparable. It's inevitable that one would sigh in admiration, for the world is full of extraordinary people and strange treasures, and there are always things you've never seen before.

  Compared with this, Chen Yao's treasure ship was not so eye-catching after all.

  "Hmm, there's a forest over there, let's go catch some monsters and roast them for food?" Ling Bai pointed to the distance, and as he spoke, his mouth began to water.

  Even Bai Kui couldn't help but get excited when talking about barbecue, his small body rubbing back and forth against Chen Tai's neck, with a flattering and coquettish appearance.

  Along the way, Chen Yu occasionally had some free time and would personally cook some delicious dishes that were full of flavor and aroma, which made Ling Bai and Bai Kui, those two little foodies, extremely happy. Every meal was a whirlwind-like sweep, leaving their plates spotless.

  "All right, let's take a break here and then make a final push to Longyuan City." With that, Chen Xiao put away the treasure ship and his body paused for a moment before shooting down towards the mountains and forests on the ground like a falling star.

  This forest is dense and lush, with towering trees that seem to touch the sky, covering an area of about a thousand miles. From time to time, roars of beasts can be heard from within, and there are also large flocks of magnificent birds flying in formation, clearly another land of ferocious beasts roaming free.

  But for Chen Tai, who had ventured into the deep mountains of Nanman and killed many demon kings, this place was not dangerous at all.

  He quickly caught a Ink Iron Bull that had just entered the Demon Beast level, dissected it, washed it, lit a fire, threaded it on a skewer, and applied seasonings, all in one go.

  Zi zi ~~

  Soon, a tempting meat fragrance wafted out, and the dripping oil fell into the fire, making a sizzling sound. A layer of enticing golden yellow appeared on the surface of the meat.

  Ling Bai and Bai Kui sat obediently to one side, their eyes fixed greedily on the meat, swallowing saliva in their mouths with all their might, looking like starving ghosts reincarnated.

  "Hmm?" Chen Xiao furrowed his brow and looked into the distance.

  "What's wrong? Can we eat now?" Ling Bai asked hastily.

  "There's some movement over there."

  Chen Suo's spiritual soul is now extremely powerful, surpassing even ordinary Huang Ting cultivators. He immediately judged that in the deep forest to the southwest, someone was engaged in a fierce battle!

  ——

  ——

  "What do you want to do?"

  In the depths of the forest, a 15 or 16-year-old girl shouted angrily. Beside her stood a thin and weak boy of 12 or 13 years old. Both were dressed in simple, even shabby clothes.

  Two people are being attacked by a burly man at this moment, and only the girl is holding a long sword to fight against him, in a precarious situation.

  On one side of the battlefield, two young men in white clothes stood with their arms crossed, smiling and watching the battle scene. Their eyes kept wandering over the boy's slender figure and his absolutely beautiful face, occasionally flashing with lustful and greedy colors.

  "Despicable! I didn't think that even a disciple of the Star Luo Palace would be so despicably shameless!" The young girl shouted in anger, her delicate melon-shaped face filled with anxiety.

  "Sister, don't worry about me, hurry up and escape!" The young man beside the girl was weak and frail, with a tender face, but he had a fierce look in his eyes. However, he didn't know any martial arts, so he could only hide behind the girl's back, anxiously urging her on.

  These two siblings, their origins are clearly not good. Not to mention the shabby clothes on their bodies, the long sword in the girl's hand is only a mortal-level weapon and has been damaged with many notches, almost breaking apart. Moreover, her swordsmanship is also rough and shallow, full of openings, obviously without guidance from a famous master, purely self-taught.

  "Little beauty, stop struggling. With your poor sword skills, if I didn't spare you for your good looks, I would have killed you a thousand times already. Surrender obediently and let my brothers have their way with you, and I'll let you and your brother go." The burly man sneered with a lustful grin on his face.

  "Pfft! As one of the eight major sects of Longyuan, Xingluo Palace actually has such despicable creatures like you, it's truly disgusting!" The girl gritted her teeth and cursed.

  "Hum! How dare you scold us as being no better than pigs and dogs, this is seeking death. Since that's the case, junior brother, let's first kill the little beauty's younger brother and make her know our prowess!"

  "Right, first kill his brother, then play with her body, and then destroy the corpse, in this sky and earth, who will know it's us three brothers doing it?"

  Two young men standing by with their arms crossed, spoke up one after another with cold smiles.

  "Alright! I'll do as the two seniors said!" The burly man grinned wickedly and immediately charged towards the young man behind the girl.

  "How dare you!" The girl was furious to the extreme, swinging her sword and charging forward without regard for her own life, determined to save her brother!

  "Bang!" The girl blocked the big man's attack, but her long sword shattered and broke off, and she herself fell back dozens of feet, spitting out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

  "Sister!" The young man shouted in fright and turned to run towards the girl, but had completely forgotten that there was still a thug standing behind him!

  "Look out! Behind you!" The girl was so frightened that her face turned pale, her soul seemed to escape, and she let out a shrill cry.

  "Too late, hahaha... die!" The burly man raised his massive sword and struck down fiercely.

  Seeing her brother about to be split in two the next moment, the girl couldn't bear it anymore, closed her eyes, and tears gushed out like pearls.

  Pfft!

  At this moment, a flash of light suddenly appeared, as fast as lightning, and directly pierced a blood hole in the skull of the burly man.

  A towering figure also appeared in a ghostly manner.
