Cultivating a family of immortals

Yesterday, Xu Changle received a secret letter from the Chaoyang Sect.

He stood on a treetop in the forest, gazing at the sea of ​​trees below, his expression incredibly complex.

A moment later, Xu Jingheng and Xu Jingluo arrived, and the three of them stopped in the woods.

After the two men took turns reading the secret letters from Xu Changle, Xu Jingheng exclaimed in shock:

"That Chu Lanwei is actually so... ruthless?"

Xu Changle calmly shook his head and said:

"What's so ruthless about that? It's just about seeking the greatest benefit."

"Back in Ningyuanzhi Marsh, she and Lin Jinglan attacked me. Jing Tao was harmed by the Chaoyang Sect; we will settle accounts with them sooner or later!"

"But, unexpectedly, Lin Chenbi followed her back to the Chaoyang Sect. She used Lin Chenbi to quell the internal strife, and in order to befriend my Xu family, she had us infiltrate the Chaoyang Sect to help her kill Lin Chenbi..."

As Xu Changle spoke, a look of admiration appeared on his face.

"She knew we couldn't let Lin Chenbi go unpunished, so she was willing to eliminate this threat for us and hand over the disciples involved in framing Jing Tao for us to deal with..."

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Jingluo and said:

"Jing Luo, you should remember this method well!"

Xu Jinglu nodded emphatically.

Xu Jingheng also sighed from the side:

"That's truly a clever tactic," he said, a hint of confusion in his voice. "But if she keeps this secret, our Xu family will have no way to find Lin Chenbi at the Chaoyang Sect. And if Lin Chenbi tries to harm us in the future, we won't be able to do anything about it... Besides, she'll gain such a top-tier combatant... Why would she betray Lin Chenbi?"

Xu Changle said calmly:

"People come here for profit. Compared to gaining the combat power of a peak 12th level Qi Refining cultivator, what do you think could be more important?"

Xu Jingheng pondered, while Xu Jingluo murmured, "Could it be that Lin Chenbi also obtained the [Primordial Soul-Gathering Mushroom]?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jingheng suddenly raised his head, looked at Xu Jingluo, and then at Xu Changle.

Xu Changle nodded in satisfaction and said:

"That's right, that's 90% of the reason! Otherwise, there's no way to explain why she abandoned Lin Chenbi and chose to join forces with my Xu family."

"Impressive," Xu Jingheng exclaimed. "A triple win: using Lin Chenbi to seize power in the Chaoyang Sect, then killing him to obtain the Lingzhi mushroom, and also establishing good relations with my Xu family, thus securing a period of peace for the Chaoyang Sect..."

"No, it's killing four birds with one stone," Xu Changle said calmly. "If I'm not mistaken, she must be creating a false impression within the sect that Lin Chenbi has an alias and is her follower. We'll cooperate with her to kill Lin Chenbi, and the Chaoyang Sect won't know he's dead. But she can also use the strength of this follower, Lin Chenbi, to suppress any disciples in the sect who are dissatisfied with her..."

Xu Jingheng and Xu Jinglu raised their eyebrows, both full of admiration.

After a moment of silence, Xu Jingluo finally couldn't help but ask:

"Uncle, brother, should we...?"

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

Xu Changle remained silent for a long time, watching the forest being swept by the wind and the darkness breaking into dawn in the distance, before finally making up his mind.

"No, that Ganoderma lucidum... let her have it... We chose to take action, but we're still within the Chaoyang Sect. If she chooses to fight to the death, we might not be able to escape... Besides..."

A hint of admiration flashed across Xu Changle's face. "Although this person is a woman, she is also a formidable figure. If we can cooperate well in the future and our two factions become friendly, it will bring certain benefits to my Xu family. Therefore, we consider her a friend."

Xu Jingheng and Xu Jinglu nodded emphatically.

Xu Jingluo gazed at Xu Changle's profile bathed in the morning sun, pondering to himself:

"My uncle is resourceful and wise. He has now conquered the Haoran Sect and renamed it the Guanxue Sect. This is for my father's sake... My uncle must feel guilty towards my father for not being able to protect him. Now he has given me the position of sect leader, hoping that I can lead the Xu family to a higher position..."

"Uncle, I will certainly live up to your expectations... Brother Jingheng... If anything happens to you in the Xuan Yuan Sect in the future, I will avenge you even if it costs me my life!"

"And Jingyao-ge...Jingsheng-jie, don't worry, I will definitely protect you in the future!"

…………

Xu Changle is currently at the eighth level of Qi Refining and will soon reach the ninth level. Combined with Xu Jingheng's cultivation and secret techniques, as well as Chu Lanwei's plan, they are more than capable of instantly killing Lin Chenbi.

Following the route provided by Chu Lanwei, the two arrived at Chaoyang Sect and, with a disciple who had been waiting for them, went up the mountain and arrived at the entrance of a cave.

The two stood in the darkness, watching as the disciple went out to meet the other two disciples and entered the cave.

After the three of them came out and left the place, a short while later, Chu Lanwei, wearing a thin veil, came out and walked towards the back of the cave.

Xu Jingheng raised an eyebrow and said in a low voice, "Father, you're not allowed to look, or I'll tell Mother..."

Xu Changle stared quietly at Xu Jingheng, suppressing the urge to use family discipline, and followed him first.

Xu Jingheng quickly followed, and the two arrived at the entrance of another cave.

They knew that Lin Chenbi was inside.

Just as Xu Jingheng was about to sigh and speak, Xu Changle stopped him, opening his mouth but not making a sound, saying, "Don't make a sound, lest you alert the enemy."

Xu Jingheng opened his mouth but no sound came out, saying, "Father, you are not allowed to listen."

Xu Changle: "…………"

After a long while, the two finally heard a furious roar coming from inside the house, and spiritual energy suddenly burst forth. Without hesitation, the two rushed in.

As planned, Xu Jingheng leaped into the air and simultaneously cast the [Water Dragon Binding Technique]. Xu Changle kicked open the cave door and saw two naked people on the bed. Chu Lanwei held a dagger and had already plunged it into Lin Chenbi's neck.

Lin Chenbi, his face and eyes red, had already raised his hand to form a hand chop, about to finish off the bastard in front of him, but the next second, two figures rushed in, and a water dragon that had been cast surged in, imprisoning him firmly in place.

Then, two sword lights appeared simultaneously, and an attack made of a hand transformed into sword energy struck his chest from below.

A flash of grief and indignation crossed Lin Chenbi's eyes, and he roared angrily:

"The Xu family...you despicable woman..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he unhesitatingly used the third level of the [Blood Pill Condensation Technique]. A wisp of essence from his dantian instantly separated from him and floated in front of him. At the same time, three attacks landed on him simultaneously.

He also swallowed his own essence into his mouth in one gulp.

In an instant, his black hair turned snow-white, like paper dipped in ink and then submerged in water, and even his face became somewhat withered.

Xu Changle immediately shouted:

"He's using the same secret technique as Lin Jinglan. Don't hold back, kill him quickly with all your might!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jingheng's expression turned solemn, and he unleashed his spiritual power without hesitation.

Inside the room, a powerful spiritual energy emanated.

Outside, the wind rustled through the pine trees, and snowflakes danced in the air, falling silently and quietly.
