Fairy, help me cultivate.

Chen Yao had no time to care whether she was scared or not, because in the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the place where he had seen the flashing light at the bottom of the valley, which was the enemy's ambush.

The clouds behind them gradually turned black, and the giant serpent, engulfed in boiling flames, swept in.

After considering it for a while, Chen Yao handed over a few Life-or-Death Talismans to Jiang Bailin. At this critical moment, it was no time to hide his abilities.

Jiang Bailin held the novel talisman in his hand, his gaze towards Chen Yao filled with even more confusion.

Chen Yao didn't explain much: "This is the life-saving item that helped you escape the snake's bite. As long as you use it, you can appear anywhere you want within a short distance."

After hearing his explanation, Jiang Bailin was even more astonished and speechless.

"I've never seen this kind of talisman before. Don't tell me you created this yourself!"

Chen Yao pushed her shoulder: "There's no time to say more. Go kill all the ambushes blocking our way, and I'll buy you a little more time."

As he spoke, he gripped two ice immortal swords, one white and one red, and turned to rush towards the thick clouds of churning flames.

Jiang Bailin was stunned for a moment, reached out but did not stop him. He simply had the image of Chen Yao wielding two swords and his robes fluttering deeply imprinted in his mind.

Brat, you're clearly only at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet you're so arrogant...

While inwardly complaining, she picked up the talisman Chen Yao had given her. Instead of using it immediately, she carefully tucked it into her chest. Then, her face hardened, she summoned a silver hairpin, and danced with a streak of light.

Against the backdrop of a sky ablaze with fireworks and a colossal serpent, they charged towards the Li clan members who were supposed to be lying in ambush but were instead being attacked.

As several crimson streams of runes burst into the sky, the ambushes on this side were also thrown into chaos, with blood swirling everywhere.

The call for help echoed through the mountains, shouts rang out from all directions, and then countless rays of light rushed toward the ambush site.

"You scoundrel! How dare you slaughter my family members!"

Li Huonan's furious shouts were deafening.

As Chen Yao roamed among the clouds, wielding two sword beams, one white and one red, his figure appearing and disappearing like a ghost as he fought the giant snake. He would occasionally use his Listening Eye to control the snake, drawing celestial energy explosion talismans with his sword energy, causing streaks of blood to bloom and scales to fly off the snake's body.

However, the giant serpent was extremely powerful, and Chen Yao was gradually finding it very difficult to fight it.

Seeing that Jiang Bailin had drawn all the ambushes from all directions to this place, and that the other directions should be undefended, he was unwilling to delay any longer.

Three gleaming knives suddenly appeared and pierced directly into the snake's eyes and the fire-breathing holes in its tongue.

Caught off guard, the giant snake's eyes instantly transformed into two blazing balls of fire, and its body began to twist and thrash as if overturning mountains and seas.

Chen Yao raised his Listening Eye and forcefully controlled it again. Then, he activated the Instantaneous Talisman, his figure disappeared, and he arrived beside Jiang Bailin, who was struggling against the siege. He lifted her up by the armpit and said, "Let's go!"

"Where do you think you're going!"

When Li Huonan saw Chen Yao, he recognized him as being in cahoots with Jiang Baisha, which fueled his anger. He then commanded his family members to unleash their full power and attack.

Chen Yao didn't have time to use the "Close-up Talisman," and the Di Ting Eye was still controlling the giant snake, so he could only slash wildly with his flying sword. However, his strength was not high at the moment, and even though his recovery speed was still at the Golden Core stage, he still couldn't deal with so many attacks.

Just when he was at his wit's end, it was as if a torrent of fire swept down from the foot of the mountain, felling trees and piercing rocks. Suddenly, streams of purple poisonous fire, hundreds of feet in circumference, erupted from behind him, burning the Li family members who had just surrounded him and Jiang Bailin to ashes.

"Three Purple Fire-Swallowing Python!"

Upon seeing the poisonous fire, Li Huonan abruptly stopped: "The fire is poisonous! Be careful!"

The three purple fire-devouring pythons that had been blocking the mountain road had already taken flight and coiled around Chen Yao, protecting him and Jiang Bailin like an indestructible city wall.

Jiang Bailin was naturally even more surprised: "Just how many more good things do you have?"

"At a time like this, let's cut the fluff!"

The Three Purple Fire-Swallowing Python was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but he could sense the deep-seated fear his little snake had of the giant snake in the sky.

He mentally communicated with the little snake, trying to hold it off for just a little longer. Chen Yao then conjured up a Life-Giving Talisman. He had already used many today and was now struggling. He feared that he would reach his limit after using just one or two more.

The talisman ignited, and the two figures vanished into thin air.

When they reappeared, they were already thirty miles away from the ambush site, with another ambush site not far ahead.

Fortunately, the Li family members were all drawn to that place, so there were very few people there.

Chen Yao's sword energy slashed across the mountain peak, and as blood gushed forth, the heads of the Li family members flew into the sky.

He carried Jiang Bailin over the mountain peaks and flew into the boundless plains.

Behind him, Li Huonan's furious roar echoed through the mountains.

The Di Ting eyeball also transformed into a beam of green light and flew into Chen Yao's palm, but the giant snake did not pursue it.

"It seems we succeeded by sheer luck."

Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Bailin's face darkened as he thought of his brother.

Chen Yao sighed and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.

However, at that very moment, the clouds around them surged again, and an incomparably powerful pressure swept over them.

Jiang Bailin's face turned pale, and he exclaimed in shock, "It's the Li family patriarch! His cultivation is already close to the Nascent Soul stage!"

Chen Yao was stunned. By now, he had no other means of dealing with the situation.

"I never imagined the Li family could be so shameless. Even their esteemed ancestor would bully a junior like them!"

Jiang Bailin cursed loudly, but there was nothing he could do.

The oppressive force from the clouds grew increasingly suffocating, but the Li family patriarch paid them no heed, regarding them as mere ants to be crushed at will, not even bothering to show his face.

Jiang Bailin took a deep breath, suddenly pushed Chen Yao away, and took the peach charm from his arms: "Think about where the Jiang family is now!"

After saying this, she crushed the peach charm from a distance. A white light rose in front of Chen Yao's eyes, but it was crushed by the pressure of the Li family patriarch before it could even leave the clouds.

Jiang Bailin's face turned pale.

"It's laughable that a few juniors would make such a fuss over nothing."

As this voice, which shook the heavens yet remained unhurried, rang out, the oppressive aura surrounding Chen Yao and Jiang Bailin eased.

In a flash, a burly figure, as imposing as a mountain gate guardian, appeared before them.

The newcomer turned around and glanced at the two of them. The murderous aura on his face vanished, replaced by a hint of appreciation and kindness.

He shrugged and tossed someone to Jiang Bailin.

Jiang Baisha fainted and was covered in burns.

Chen Yao recognized the burly man as the pillar of the Jiang family, the Golden Dragon Ancestor.

However, the speaker was not Jinlong. Above their heads, the wind and clouds shifted, and lightning flashed and thunder roared for a few moments before the voice rang out again: "Do you and I really have to fight here?"

With a wave of his hand, the Golden Dragon Ancestor unleashed a beam of yellow light that swept back, revealing the Li family disciples who had come to ambush him.

The once arrogant Li Huonan now looked dejected, as if he had been defeated in a battle.

The Golden Dragon Ancestor snorted, and as soon as Li Huonan looked up, his head exploded, killing him instantly.

The Li family patriarch finally spoke: "Hmph, the Li family will remember this debt!"

"No need to see them off. Jinlong, take them home!"

Upon receiving the order, the Golden Dragon Ancestor withdrew the yellow light and flung the Li family disciples away.

The sea of ​​clouds swirled, catching the panicked Li family members and quickly drifting away.

The patriarch of the Li family has departed.

The Golden Dragon Ancestor turned around and looked at Chen Yao and Jiang Bailin, and for once he grinned widely. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared beneath the clouds.

Faced with the kind smile on the face of this fierce-looking man, not only Chen Yao felt awkward, but even Jiang Bailin showed a strange expression.

Suddenly, a gust of wind arose, and another figure descended from the sky.

He was Jiang Mengyang, who was tall and strong, but not as tall and strong as the Golden Dragon Ancestor.

Jiang Bailin opened his mouth: "Third Uncle!"

She never expected that Jiang Mengyang would suddenly appear and save them, but apart from Jiang Mengyang, who in the entire Jiang clan would dare to challenge the Li clan patriarch who was already close to the Nascent Soul stage?

Jiang Mengyang glanced at Chen Yao's clothes on her body, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly, but he didn't say anything.

At this moment, Chen Yao had already fed Jiang Baisha a pill, and he slowly woke up.

"Brother White Shark's injury this time is quite serious; he will probably need to rest for quite some time."

Having gone through life and death together, Chen Yao had developed a sense of closeness to Jiang Baisha and Jiang Bailin.

Jiang Mengyang nodded: "Fortunately, his own cultivation is solid, so it's no problem. I should thank you for your righteous help, young friend."

Chen Yao shook his head: "After all, I need the Jiang family's help. Besides, the battle was fierce and dangerous just now. We need to unite against the enemy to escape alive."

Jiang Mengyang looked at him, then at Jiang Bailin: "That's not how it works. Fellow Daoist, you are kind-hearted and have the chivalrous spirit of an ancient immortal. Otherwise, if Bailin had drawn the enemy's attention alone, you could have broken through the encirclement just as well."

Chen Yao remained silent, because he hadn't considered this possibility...

Jiang Bailin was very dissatisfied with Jiang Mengyang's words: "He dares!"

Jiang Mengyang scolded her: "You have no manners! I've spoiled you too much!"

Jiang Bailin wasn't afraid of Jiang Mengyang at all. She grabbed his arm and said in a spoiled tone, "If Third Uncle doesn't spoil me, who else should he spoil?"

Jiang Mengyang seemed to have no temper with her, and said with a helpless smile, "You little monkey, you're already so big, but you still don't have a bit of a ladylike temperament."

Jiang Bailin released him: "What's the use of being a lady? Can she kill a few more people?"

"This is getting more and more unpredictable!"

Jiang Mengyang ignored her and solemnly thanked Chen Yao: "Young friend, you have repeatedly shown great kindness to the Jiang family, and we truly have no way to repay you. However, there is no question of repayment between us."

After saying that, he smiled knowingly.

Chen Yao sensed the implication in his words and raised an eyebrow, but before he could speak, Jiang Bailin interrupted, asking, "Repeatedly?"

Suddenly the clouds became scorching hot, and smoke rose again.

The Fire Brocade Serpent eventually followed.

Jiang Mengyang stood in front of the two, and with a flick of his sleeve, the floating clouds dispersed, revealing the festering snake head with its forked tongue spitting out.

He didn't say much, but simply took out a fist-sized, bright red Fiery Pill from his sleeve.

The giant serpent's eyes, blazing with fiery blood, gleamed with greed when it saw the pill.
