Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

Feng Family Villa in the city center.

The clerk looked up at the dozen or so figures in the sky that seemed like gods, his face turning slightly pale.

This terrifying sense of oppression reminded her of the nightmare she had at Hundred Islands Bay, where the cultivators from the Sea Dragon Palace descended with the same imposing aura.

Now, those people hanging in the sky, their eyes filled with indifference and killing intent, are even more terrifying than the demon cultivators of the Sea Dragon Palace.

Song Chi stood beside him, and compared to Yun Shu's fear, his reaction was strangely calm.

He pursed his thin lips, his dark eyes like a bottomless pool of stagnant water. The naivety that once belonged to a boy had faded away, replaced by a ruthlessness like that of a wolf cub.

"Clerk, you stay here and don't go anywhere."

Song Chi spoke in a low voice, his tone devoid of any inflection.

"Brother, it's dangerous over there..."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful. I'll go check from the city wall."

After saying this, without waiting for the official's reply, he darted away towards the city gate tower.

Song Chi hid behind a rock, squinting as he looked into the distance.

In the sky, the Golden Core elder stood with his hands behind his back, the golden seal in his hand radiating a world-destroying aura, and behind him, five Foundation Establishment disciples were doing the same.

This is the power of those in power; they can turn the world upside down and make things happen at will.

They don't value human life.

Song Chi looked at them, his fists clenched, a surge of anger rising from his chest.

He is still too weak.

In just three months, he had advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refining, but that was far from enough; he wanted to become even stronger.

Kill these arrogant cultivators who treat human life like dirt.

Just as the Golden Core elder raised his hand, preparing to activate the magic array for the first wave of attack.

A crimson streak of light appeared on the distant horizon.

Immediately following, dozens of sword lights formed a dense waterfall of light, swooping down towards Phoenix Perch Town with overwhelming momentum.

"Fellow Daoist, you've come uninvited and act so presumptuously in a city belonging to the Feng family. Do you think the Feng family has no one to rely on?"

With a furious shout, Feng Xichen arrived from the sky.

Upon hearing this sound, the people in the city knelt down and wept with joy.

"Look! Ancestor! It's Ancestor!"

"We're saved."

In the sky, two groups of people faced off.

Feng Qiguang stood beside Feng Xichen, looking at the cold and gloomy Northern Sword Alliance members opposite him, his brows furrowed.

The old man with the Golden Core cultivation was named Jiang Kun. He glanced at the Feng family members, and a mocking look appeared in his usually gloomy eyes.

The only one they could truly care about was the leader, the Phoenix Clan Ancestor; the rest were mere ants, not worth fearing.

Jiang Kun spoke lazily: "Ancestor of the Feng family, your mere Purple Mansion cultivation is far from enough to defeat me. I'd like to see what actions the Feng family can take."

Upon hearing Jiang Kun's mockery, Feng Qiguang rushed forward and shouted, "So what if you're a Golden Core cultivator? How dare you insult my ancestor like this? Do you really think the Feng family is afraid of you?"

"It's you again! Hmph! A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, how dare you be so insolent!"

Jiang Kun raised his hand, and a golden core-level pressure immediately descended. Feng Qiguang was severely suppressed by that pressure, and a sweet taste rose in his throat, almost causing him to vomit blood.

Seeing this, Feng Xichen raised his hand and sent a wisp of spiritual energy into Feng Qiguang's body, calming his surging spiritual energy and allowing him to stabilize his body.

"Xiao Guang, step back."

Feng Qiguang's usually arrogant eyes turned red.

He gritted his teeth, forced himself to take a step back, and stared intently at the people of the Northern Sword Alliance, a hint of anger appearing on his face.

Feng Xichen clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jiang Kun, suppressing his anger: "Fellow Daoist, I, Feng Xichen, will ask one last question: Is your alliance willing to withdraw?"

Jiang Kun scoffed, "Withdraw? Your Feng family harbored a petty thief who stole cultivation techniques, attempting to seize the secret arts of my Northern Sword Alliance. Shouldn't you accomplices be punished?"

Feng Xichen took a deep breath.

If you want to add a crime, there is nothing wrong with it.

He forced himself to calm down and said in a deep voice:

"Fellow Daoist, you may fight if you wish, but the people in the city are innocent. How about we move to the wasteland a hundred miles away?"

Jiang Kun sneered, "You, a mere Purple Mansion cultivator, dare to make demands of me, a Golden Core cultivator? You're quite audacious. What can you do if I refuse?"

Seeing that the other party was unmoved by reason, Feng Xichen stopped talking and immediately unleashed a burst of spiritual energy from his Purple Mansion.

Behind him, Feng Tianyuan, the head of the Feng family, several elders, and dozens of young and strong disciples all drew their swords.

The sword light transformed into a sea of ​​stars, converging towards Jiang Tuo's direction.

War is imminent.

Just then, a purple spatial fluctuation suddenly burst open in the sky.

All eyes turned to the spatial fluctuation, where a graceful and beautiful figure slowly materialized within the purple light.

Yu Luoning, who hadn't even landed yet, was stunned by what she saw.

Oh dear, what are you doing?

She originally planned to sneak into the mountains outside Fengqi Town and secretly find an opportunity to contact Fengqi Guang, but the coordinates of the landing point in her mind were slightly off.

She hadn't figured out how to explain her appearance yet.

Faced with a chorus of stares, Yu Luoning felt a chill run down her spine, her toes digging into the ground, wishing that a hole would appear and bury her right then and there.

Oh no, oh no, how did I end up here of all places? It's truly a case of a small mistake leading to a huge disaster.

The next moment, Jiang Kun's gaze fell on her. A wisp of his divine sense swept over her and found that she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet she dared to stand between the two groups of people.

Jiang Kun sneered, casually conjuring a cold light, preparing to slash at Yu Luoning.

Yu Luoning was startled, but fortunately she reacted quickly and immediately showed the Hundred Kill Token with gold lettering on a black background that Lu Feishuang had given her.

"Wait a minute, I am Yu Xiaoguai. Today, I have come on the orders of Jiang Yuxing, the young master of the Northern Sword Alliance, to deliver a message that the young master wants you to retreat and leave."

Yu Luoning's heart was in her throat, but she remained calm and composed on the surface.

If you want to deceive the people of the Northern Sword Alliance, you can't show the slightest bit of fear.

As expected, Jiang Kun hesitated, and the cold light in his hand paused for a moment.

He raised his hand, and the Hundred Kill Token flew into his hand on the spot.

Then he released a wisp of his divine sense to probe inside and confirm the authenticity of the token.

Jiang Kun's brows furrowed immediately. He looked up at Yu Luoning, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.

It was Jiang Yuxing who sent them to Fengqi Town to set up the killing formation, and it was also Jiang Yuxing who stopped them and ordered them to evacuate. It's very strange.

Jiang Kun probed Yu Luoning, "Young friend, since the young master ordered the withdrawal, why is it an outsider like you who is relaying the message? You look quite unfamiliar to me."

Yu Luoning smiled and said, "Reporting to Senior, I entered the Dongbao Upper Sect in the same batch as the young master. The young master saw that I was capable in my work, so he kept me as his personal servant. If Senior does not believe me, I also have something to prove it."

After saying that, Yu Luoning took out the Bewitching Jade Talisman that she had picked up during her battle with Jiang Yuxing in Yunyou Valley from her Qiankun Bag.

As he spoke, he handed over the Bewitching Jade Talisman.

Jiang Kun stared at the Bewitching Jade Talisman, his pupils widening slightly.

A wisp of crimson spiritual energy pattern.

it is true.

This is indeed one of the Jiang family's secret techniques, or more precisely, a secret technique passed down from Jiang Yuxing's mother's clan.

Bai Shi.

A family renowned for its refined and elegant traditions.

Jiang Kun clenched his fist, a hint of wariness appearing in his eyes.

Jiang Kun has seen all sorts of people and learned all sorts of secret techniques in the cultivation world, but the Bai clan is the only one he fears.

The young master's mother, the leader's wife.

It's really weird.

To be precise, the Bai family bloodline is all evil.

They live forever with fragrant bones, enjoying bliss in this world, and all the rulers of the world are their subjects, taking this as their lifelong motto.

He loves to seek out the top sects or dynasties on various continents, making the most promising young talents fall head over heels in love with the Bai family women (men).

The main focus is on becoming the sole woman (or man) behind all those in power.

If you can't control the world, then control the people who control the world.

Jiang Kun lowered his eyes, staring at the Bewitching Jade Token in his hand.

They no longer doubted Yu Luoning's identity.

Jiang Kun raised his eyes and glanced at Yu Luoning.

Yu Luoning looked at him with a smile, her expression harmless, but her heart was in her throat.

Just as she was thinking about how to dispel Jiang Kun's doubts, the person opposite her quickly threw the heart-protecting jade talisman back at her. The movement was so fast that it was almost frantic, as if it were too hot to handle.

Forehead?

Yu Luoning's expression went blank for a moment.

"Young friend, since the young master has given the order, I will obey. I will now lead my men back to the Northern Sword Alliance headquarters. Farewell for today."

After saying that, he nodded quickly to his subordinates behind him.

Without another word, everyone quickly dispelled the formation. Behind them, the five Foundation Establishment disciples and more than a dozen Qi Refining disciples sheathed their swords.

Instantly, the murderous intent that had been threatening to erupt in the sky dissipated on the spot.

Everyone was incredulous, because the next moment, Jiang Kun led everyone to take off on their swords and speed away, as if someone was chasing after them.
