Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 302 Min Ning
At the edge of the Luoyang Mountains, two streaks of light flashed across the sky like shooting stars, disappearing in an instant.

Suddenly, one of the beams of light slowed down, accompanied by a call: "Stop, Senior Brother Han, it should be around here."

Another beam of light quickly responded, transforming into a burly young cultivator.

He was about to speak when his eyes suddenly narrowed: "Hmm, this place seems somewhat familiar."

"familiar?"

The woman who had spoken earlier was wearing an embroidered long dress. She frowned slightly, looked around, and her eyes were full of doubt.

"You forgot? This is where we first met Lee Sang-in."

After the young cultivator finished speaking, he smiled and said, "We were in such a rush back then that you might not have noticed, but I remember this place should be called Furongping."

"No matter where."

A hint of hatred flashed in the eyes of the woman in the embroidered dress. "Today I will definitely capture Li Xiangren."

The young cultivator pondered for a moment; he was quite interested in Li Xiangren's behavior.

Given the tense escape, Li Xiangren's decision to risk returning must have been driven by a compelling reason for him to come back.

If we knew this reason, it would be very easy to ambush and capture Li Xiangren.

However, the young cultivator sneered as he glanced at the woman beside him.

With Junior Sister Min's Three Elements Ruyi Plate, he didn't need to worry too much.

Sure enough, Min Ning pointed in a direction and said firmly, "Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Han."

Han Yunhao waved his hand and flew away swiftly.

Min Ning followed closely behind.

Soon, an explosion resounded through the sky.

Min Ning was overjoyed and quickened his pace.

When she arrived at the scene, the mountains surrounding Furongping had been reduced to rubble, and the fierce battle between the two Foundation Establishment cultivators had left behind countless breathtaking traces of magic.

"Li Xiangren! This time, you won't escape!"

Min Ning shouted, and a net the size of a palm flew into the air, expanding instantly to blot out the sky.

"It's Junior Sister Min's Golden Silk Binding Immortal Net!"

Seeing this, Han Yunhao smiled easily and said to the sword-browed man not far away, "Fellow Daoist Li, I advise you to give up resistance and surrender."

Li Xiangren raised his head, his gaze solemn.

The Golden Silk Binding Immortal Net is a top-grade magic weapon and should not have appeared in the hands of a Qi Refining stage cultivator like Min Ning.

But considering her background...
Li Xiangren remained silent, retrieved his flying sword, and held it tightly to his side.

At the same time, he began chanting incantations, and the flying sword "Cloud Slash" shone brightly under the incantation's activation.

"Wow, junior sister, this kid wants to break your Golden Silk Binding Immortal Net."

Han Yunhao chuckled softly.

Upon hearing this, Min Ning gritted her teeth and said, "I beg Senior Brother Han for help."

"understood."

Han Yunhao patted the storage bag at his waist, and a silver flying sword shot into the sky, its tip pointing directly at Li Xiangren.

He was actually a sword cultivator!
Li Xiangren looked over and saw "Zhan Yun" emit a crisp clanging sound, seemingly expressing its dissatisfaction and fighting spirit.

However, Li Xiangren did not make a move immediately, but instead retreated continuously, trying to avoid the Heavenly Net of the Golden Silk Immortal Binding Net.

Han Yunhao pursued relentlessly, his silver flying sword moving at an astonishing speed, closing in on Li Xiangren almost instantly.

Li Xiangren tilted his head slightly, put two fingers together, and the "Cloud Slash" beside him suddenly shone brightly, colliding violently with the silver flying sword.

In an instant, the sound of the magical explosion was like a thunderclap, shaking the entire sky.

The sky was painted with a mixture of golden and silver light, and a complex airflow created a brief separation between the two.

Han Yunhao retrieved his flying sword, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "As expected of the genius Elder Min often mentions, could Fellow Daoist Li's swordsmanship originate from the Boundless Sword Sect?"

The sword technique Li Xiangren practiced was called the Ling Shu Golden Light Sword. It was a profound sword technique specially gifted to him by an elder of the Wuliang Sword Sect who appreciated his talent. Unfortunately, this sword technique was incomplete, with only a fragmentary scroll remaining.

Nevertheless, the Ling Shu Golden Light Sword still possesses extremely high cultivation value.

The jade slip not only records sword techniques, but also includes corresponding cultivation methods, as well as the techniques for forging and cultivating flying swords.

In other words, if the sword technique itself were not incomplete, this would be a complete sword cultivation tradition.

Although the Li family's sword cultivation tradition is not bad, it pales in comparison to the Ling Shu Golden Light Sword.

In order to go further in the path of swordsmanship, Li Xiangren resolutely chose the Ling Shu Golden Light Sword. Even though he could not fully unleash its power, it did not prevent him from using its techniques to cultivate other sword skills.

This matter is a secret in some ways, but not exactly a secret either.

Because the Wuliang Sword Sect bestowed the technique in public, it could not be concealed at all.

Not to mention, Li Xiangren's fame soared as a result, making him as famous as Huangfu Fei, the prodigy of Hengyue Sect.

"I am not skilled enough, and I hope Fellow Daoist Han will forgive my lack of skill."

Li Xiangren smiled, then turned his gaze to Min Ning behind Han Yunhao.

Because of this delay, Min Ning has already caught up.

The golden thread binding net hung above the three people's heads, not yet falling, but poised to strike.

Li Xiangren naturally felt the pressure. He sighed softly, "Since Master Xuanli has already granted my request, why must he arrest me?"

Min Ning's face flushed with anger: "This matter has nothing to do with my grandfather. You have insulted me too much. How can I let this go?"

Li Xiangren frowned: "Miss Min, you are too kind. I have only just met you, how could you say I am humiliated?"

"Just keep pretending."

Min Ning sneered: "Knowing my surname is Min, how could you not guess my identity? Do you expect me to go to Dangui Mountain and kill that bitch before you realize it?"

Li Xiangren remained silent. Of course he knew Min Ning's identity, and that was precisely why he didn't know how to face her.

Strictly speaking, Min Ning is his fiancée.

Because the Li family had a marriage agreement with Xuanli Zhenren, and the two of them were the intended recipients.

But Li Xiangren had never met Min Ning since he was a child, so he was naturally not interested in her.

After meeting Ye Yun, Li Xiangren became even more dismissive of the marriage agreement.

After all, he now even has children.

The Li family was powerless to do anything about it. Although some of the elders were dissatisfied with Li Xiangren's decision, they couldn't very well drive Ye Yun away and force Li Xiangren and Min Ning to get married.
In that case, what should Li Jiye do?

Left with no other choice, the Li family reluctantly had their patriarch, Li Huinan, write a letter to Xuanli Zhenren, explaining the reasons and requesting the annulment of the engagement between Li Xiangren and Min Ning.

When Master Xuanli found out, he was naturally unhappy.

But as a Golden Core cultivator, he also had to save face. Since the Li family looked down on his granddaughter, how could he shamelessly continue to arrange the marriage?
Finally, the Taoist master Xuanli wrote three words: "Understood."

That concludes the matter.

The Li family, far away in Puxian County, was not blamed for this.

But to Li Xiangren's utter surprise, he would encounter Min Ning at Furongping and be hunted down by her.

He glanced at Han Yunhao and asked in a deep voice, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Han was ranked twenty-seventh on the Qingfeng Ranking in the past and is known as a genius. Why are you so obedient to a woman in the Qi Refining stage?"

Han Yunhao was far less famous than Huangfu Fei, and his status was only that of an inner disciple.

However, he was not a newcomer; he had been immersed in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment for more than ten years.

Li Xiangren fought him several times but could not gain the upper hand, so he had to keep fleeing.

Unfortunately, Min Ning possessed the treasure of True Man Xuanli—the Three Elements Ruyi Plate. No matter how much Li Xiangren tried to get rid of Han Yunhao, a disciple of the Hengyue Sect, he was unable to do so.

Han Yunhao chuckled: "Junior Sister Min and I are from the same sect. Since she has been wronged, it is only natural for me, as her senior brother, to help her. In my opinion, you might as well go along with Junior Sister's wishes and fulfill the marriage agreement. That way, we won't have to go to such lengths."

"Pooh!"

Min Ning angrily retorted, "Whoever marries him, senior brother, I'll tear him to pieces!"
