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

"Esteemed seniors, let's leave the emotional stuff for another day."

"The most urgent task now is to relocate the city's residents. After that, we will head to the spiritual vein area of ​​the Northern Sword Alliance."

"In order to attack the Feng family, the Northern Sword Alliance will definitely send a lot of people. At that time, their spiritual vein area will be completely undefended, and we can take advantage of the situation to invade."

Yu Luoning said slowly.

After hearing this, the hall fell silent, and then Feng Xichen and the clan leader Feng Tianyuan responded in unison.

Feng Tianyuan went directly out of the city and found the people from the Northern Sword Alliance who were waiting there. He explained his purpose and dealt with these spies who were keeping watch, trying to delay them for as long as possible.

Ancestor Feng Xichen merely concealed his aura, using the skies above Fengqi Town as cover, ready to intercept any divine thoughts attempting to probe.

Yu Luoning took a deep breath, formed a hand seal, and summoned the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Scroll. In an instant, the ancient scroll unfurled in the void.

A huge, illusory landscape swept from south to north, slightly distorting the void in its path and drawing all the people queuing in the street into the world of the painting.

This massive relocation of the empty city proceeded smoothly and in an orderly manner thanks to the coordination of the Feng family members.

The common people have always held cultivators in awe and dare not act recklessly. Even those rogue cultivators in the Feng family's territory dare not utter a word of dissent.

Meanwhile, the usually aloof and arrogant young master of the Feng family was now working tirelessly and dutifully by Yu Luoning's side.

She practically has the words "virtuous wife" engraved on her forehead.

In this noisy yet orderly crowd, Yu Luoning also encountered Song Chi and the scribe.

"Sister Luo Ning!"

The clerk jogged over, and when he saw Yu Luoning, his eyes lit up.

In the past few months, the little girl has not only grown taller, but her cultivation level has also advanced.

Yu Luoning patted the clerk's head and smiled reassuringly: "Don't be afraid, just follow the group and we'll find a safer place."

The clerk hummed in agreement, then hesitated before asking, "Sister, are you leaving again this time?"

Yu Luoning said softly, "I don't know. Now is not the time to reminisce. My sister has more important things to do. Let's get together properly after everything settles down, okay?"

The clerk nodded.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, there was a moment of silence in the air.

Song Chi stood to the side, pursing his lips.

His dark, night-like eyes fell heavily on Yu Luoning, and then his gaze slowly shifted to Feng Qiguang.

Seeing the two of them standing together, Song Chi's eyes darkened for a moment.

The two people in front of me are just too perfect for each other.

At this moment, Yu Luoning also noticed Song Chi.

She couldn't help but gesture with her hand and laughed, "Song Chi, have you grown taller?"

Song Chi nodded, a slight blush rising behind her ears.

Yu Luoning added, "You're the older brother, so take good care of your younger sister. We'll get together again once things have stabilized."

Song Chi didn't say anything. He could tell that Yu Luoning's cultivation had increased again, and with his current strength, he really couldn't do anything more.

Song Chi whispered, "Be careful."

Yu Luoning nodded.

The next moment, a flash of golden light appeared on the scroll.

Hundreds of thousands of lives are captured in a single image.

The once bustling Fengqi Town has become a desolate ghost town.

The next moment, the huge scroll that was floating in the air gradually shrank, turned into a stream of light, and fell back into Yu Luoning's hands.

"Senior, all the civilians in the city have been included in the map. What should we do next to release them? If such a large population is concentrated in one place, the city will definitely be paralyzed within three days."

Feng Xichen landed beside Yu Luoning like a ghost and said, "I have already instructed the Feng family to notify all parties to provide support."

"Next, we need to send a batch of people to Lin'an City, the main city of the Feng family's alliance."

Yu Luoning nodded and, following Feng Xichen's instructions, activated the Sky-Crossing Technique. Immediately, the two figures disappeared from their original spot, and the next instant, they were in the sky above the city of Lingkong, a thousand miles away.

A corner of the defensive formation activated by the Lord of Lin'an City, who had received the ancestor's order.

Without time for pleasantries, Yu Luoning cast a spell to unfurl a scroll, precisely projecting a portion of the people in Fengqi Town onto the city's massive streets and squares.

Then, under the guidance of the city's leaders, they temporarily settled down.

"The second batch will be deployed to the small towns in the south," Feng Xichen said to Yu Luoning.

Yu Luoning countered with another aerial technique.

The two worked together seamlessly, dropping off batches of people at various points.

Feng Xichen stared at Yu Luoning's slightly pale profile and couldn't help but ask, "Girl, that Scroll of Divine Power is of an extremely high level. Forcing it to unfold with your Foundation Establishment cultivation will consume a tremendous amount of spiritual power and divine sense. Can you... still hold on?"

Yu Luoning managed a weak smile.

I'll just take a nap in the Bronze Museum later.

However, she didn't dare say that aloud, only saying, "Thank you for your concern, Ancestor, I can handle it."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Feng Xichen pulled a white jade porcelain bottle from his sleeve and shoved it into her hand without a word.

Yu Luoning pulled out the stopper and saw a round pill inside.

The elixir condensed, and five mysterious Dao patterns were clearly visible on its surface.

It's actually a fifth-grade pill?

In the resource-scarce Eastern Treasure Continent, pills of this grade are enough to make countless people fight tooth and nail to snatch them.

Yu Luoning was taken aback: "Ancestor, this is far too precious..."

Feng Xichen coughed lightly, shifting his gaze somewhat awkwardly. "Take it. You're the one that Xiao Guang is so determined to be with, and now you've risked everything to settle the karmic debt for my Feng family. From now on, you're a member of the Feng family. What's a single pill?"

Yu Luoning blinked, instantly regaining her senses.

Wow, this means it's officially approved by the parents?

Without standing on ceremony, she tilted her head back and swallowed the pill, smiling as she said, "Thank you for feeding me, Ancestor!"

"Yes, it'll be fine once the medicine takes effect."

Feng Xichen looked at her with satisfaction and said, "Once this matter is settled, you and Xiaoguang should hurry up and get married. Don't worry, when the Feng family takes a daughter-in-law, you will not be shortchanged in the slightest by the six proper rites of betrothal and the ten-mile-long red bridal procession."

"Cough, cough!"

Yu Luoning nearly choked to death on the spot after swallowing the pill.

marriage?

Yu Luoning's eyes widened, her heart pounding with panic.

After getting married, can she still go fishing with a clear conscience?

No, absolutely not! She couldn't accept the fishpond being abandoned.

"Ancestor, let's discuss this later. There's one last batch; where are we going?"

When Yu Luoning changed the subject, Feng Xichen took it as her being shy and chuckled, "The last batch to return to the Feng family's ancestral home."

The next moment, the spatial rift tore open again, and the two landed steadily on the square of the Feng family clan.

As the scroll unfurled, countless people strode out, including Feng Qiguang and Song Chi, among others.

After settling everyone in.

Yu Luoning and the elders of the Feng family returned to Fengqi Town.

"Once the people from the Northern Sword Alliance arrive, all of you seniors should cooperate with the disguise formations within the city to hold them off with all your might. There's no need for a life-or-death struggle."

Feng Xichen nodded and asked, "When are we departing for the Northern Sword Alliance's spirit vein mining area?"

Yu Luoning pondered for a moment and said, "I need to prepare something in an hour."

Feng Xichen was surprised, but his eyes also understood.

The Northern Sword Alliance's millennium-old earth vein spiritual root is not an ordinary mineral vein, but a primordial spiritual energy ancestral vein that runs for hundreds of miles underground.

This spiritual vein is the foundation of the Northern Sword Alliance's current prosperity.

It is easy to imagine that the guards there must be extremely skilled and the security must be very tight.

The girl in front of him was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet she calmly proposed a crazy plan to sever someone's spiritual veins and cut off their lifeline.

The hidden ancient clan's resources were indeed beyond the imagination of these marginal families; she must be carrying an unparalleled magic weapon capable of deceiving everyone.

"Alright, then you can prepare in peace. I will go and gather the elite troops that our family trusts. Once you are ready, we will set off together."

Feng Xichen readily agreed.

Yu Luoning's teleportation technique is indeed much more useful than the Feng family's.

Her spatial jumps were not only incredibly smooth, but also completely free of the spiritual energy stress and void pressure caused by ordinary teleportation arrays.

What's most incredible is that it can carry him, a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage, across thousands of miles in an instant. With such a divine skill as a backup, what does the Feng family have to fear?

Just as Feng Xichen was about to leave, Yu Luoning turned around and called out to him, "Um... senior, could you please bring Feng Qiguang here? There are some things I need to talk to him about alone."

As you know, the Phoenix Blood Source Stone needs to absorb a large amount of spiritual energy to fully activate the bloodline of the True Phoenix…”

Feng Xichen stopped and turned to look at Yu Luoning's insincere expression, a knowing smile playing on his lips.

The young couple wanted to spend a few more moments together before setting off. Their affection was so strong that he, as their elder, was very pleased.

"Alright, I'll have that brat come over right away. The side room in the courtyard is quiet and there will be no one to disturb us."

The old ancestor departed with a smile, and Yu Luoning finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
