The path to immortality through martial arts begins with being forced into marriage!

Cui Yi nodded solemnly: "Disciple understands."

The Red Demon withdrew his hand with satisfaction, removed the soundproofing barrier, and resumed his carefree and nonchalant demeanor.

"Alright, get out of here. Go cultivate as soon as you get back, don't get in my way."

Cui Yi smiled slightly, bowed, and turned to walk out of the cave.

As he stepped out of the cave, he looked back once more.

The Red Demon still stood with his hands behind his back under the open gap, gazing at the dark, undulating mountain shadows in the distance.

The tall figure appeared exceptionally lonely under the cold moonlight.

Cui Yi withdrew his gaze and said nothing more.

He simply clenched his fists silently, then turned and rushed towards his small courtyard.

He had been gone for so long, and although the Red Demon had been taking care of him, the two women were still worried about him.

Besides, he was the one who left without saying goodbye first. If he didn't see him immediately after returning, he would be too much of a jerk.

That night.

Cui Yi landed steadily in the courtyard. Xu Yunyan and Tang'er, having already embarked on the path of cultivation, were far superior to ordinary people.

They naturally sensed the arrival of uninvited guests, but they were not yet at the level to be able to sense their presence.

Cui Yi looked up and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

Two heads, one large and one small, were seen cautiously and trembling as they slowly peeked out from the edge of the window of the main house.

The older one had slightly messy hair, but her eyes were clear and captivating even in the darkness.

The smaller one only had half its head sticking out, and its hair was tied up in two cute buns.

Her big eyes were wide open, she was clearly terrified, but she stubbornly held back from screaming.

The sight of two heads sticking out of the window side by side is strangely comical.

Cui Yi could even see the barely concealed tension on their faces.

He didn't speak or move, just stood there quietly, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Under the moonlight, his silhouette gradually became clear.

When they saw who it was, the two women breathed a heavy sigh of relief and rushed out of the room with joy on their faces.

"Yi'er!"

Xu Yunyan rushed out of the room immediately, but a small figure behind her ran even faster!

Like a little cannonball, Tang'er darted past Xu Yunyan, her short legs moving incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, she was in front of Cui Yi.

Before Cui Yi could even open his arms, the little girl threw herself into his embrace, clinging tightly to his waist with her little arms, burying her face in his clothes, and crying uncontrollably.

"Young Master, sob sob sob, you're finally back! Tang'er thought you didn't want us anymore!"

Cui Yi looked down at the fluffy little head in his arms, feeling the tight embrace around his waist and the warmth that quickly seeped onto his clothes.

He raised his hand and gently placed it on Tang'er's head, ruffling her two adorable little buns.

"Silly girl."

Xu Yunyan ran up to him, but stopped abruptly three steps away from Cui Yi.

She stood there, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back.

Seeing this, Cui Yi's heart softened, and he stepped forward to embrace her.

"Sorry, I left in too much of a hurry."

"Have you finished all the pills?"

"No, you've made so much, it'll probably take several more months before we can finish it all."

Xu Yunyan wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "I have good news for you! Tang'er and I have both successfully broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining!"

"Great, you've improved incredibly fast!"

Cui Yi was somewhat surprised, after all, these two women were so ordinary that they were able to break through so quickly in such a short time.

However, upon closer reflection, it must be due to the blessing of the Blood Robe Sect, a blessed land, along with the added benefit of elixirs, that cultivation naturally becomes twice as effective with half the effort.

"How long will you be staying this time?"

"It won't be long. There are still some things to take care of in the North. This time..."

After hesitating for a moment, Cui Yi finally spoke his mind: "You might also come with me."

"what?"

Xu Yunyan opened her mouth, a vague sense of foreboding creeping into her heart: "Has something happened to the sect?"

Cui Yi nodded, but didn't say anything more, as he couldn't give a definite answer right now.

The Blood-Clad Sect is currently in a precarious situation; if they take one wrong step, they will be doomed.

He's fine on his own, but these two women only came to a place like the Blood Robe Sect because of him.

Now that he has established a connection with the prince behind Yunyi, it shouldn't be a problem for them to help settle Xu Yunyan and Tang'er.

Therefore, Cui Yi's initial plan was quite simple.

If the Blood Shift Sect goes astray, he will do everything in his power to get the two women out and settled.

Not having to worry about the two women's safety actually relieved him of a lot of burden.

"Things haven't been finalized yet, so just focus on your cultivation."

"You all go back to your rooms and get some sleep. Today's battle has given me some insights, and I'll come find you after I've processed them for a while."

Xu Yunyan and Tang'er were cultivators after all, so they naturally understood how rare an opportunity for enlightenment was.

"Good luck, young master! Tang'er and Sister Yunyan are all cleaned up and waiting for you in bed. The three of us will sleep together tonight!"

"..."

"OK……"

After much effort, Cui Yi managed to get the two women back to their room. He then sat cross-legged on the open ground outside the courtyard, preparing to calm his mind and cultivate...

boom!!!

A deafening roar came from outside the mountain gate, and the entire Blood Fiend Peak trembled violently in that instant!

Cui Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and in a flash, he was already outside the courtyard.

In the distance, flames soared into the sky from the direction of the Blood-Clad Sect's mountain gate!

The light generated by the collision of various true energies intertwined, and screams and shouts of killing mingled together, almost resounding through the sky!

call out!

A blinding red light pierced the night sky, slowly rising to the heavens, and then exploded with a bang at its highest point!

Cui Yi's pupils contracted sharply; this was a warning signal from the Blood-Clad Sect!

Moreover, it's the highest level of signal. The appearance of such a signal means that someone is attacking the mountain gate!

Cui Yi immediately got up and was about to rush towards the mountain gate when he suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something.

He suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the main house in the courtyard.

The two women have only recently embarked on the path of cultivation, and their cultivation levels are still shallow. If an external enemy were to invade the mountain gate, the courtyard might not be safe.

"Damn it!"

Cui Yi gritted his teeth, turned around, and rushed towards the main house.

As soon as he reached the door, he heard rustling sounds coming from inside the house.

Immediately afterwards, the door was suddenly pulled open, and Xu Yunyan and Tang'er appeared in the doorway.

The two women were clearly awakened by the loud noise, their faces still showing fear.

"Yi'er!"

Xu Yunyan spotted him immediately and quickly came to greet him. "What happened outside?"

"Young Master!" Tang'er followed, her little hands tightly gripping his sleeve, her voice trembling.

Cui Yi didn't have time to explain in detail, but said in a deep voice, "There's an invasion from foreign enemies. Don't run around, come with me—"

Before he could finish speaking, his expression changed drastically!

According to Cui Yi's telepathic perception, three auras were approaching the courtyard at an extremely fast speed!
