97. Meeting Shen Qingyi Again (3/3)

In the forest several hundred meters away.

Led by an Elder with a cultivation level as high as Foundation Establishment Level 1, the team from Black Iron Villa was marching toward the Logistics Department of the Bamboo Leaf Gang.

"Hum!"

Suddenly, a sound of something piercing through the air came from afar!

This Elder anticipated the danger in advance and instinctively shifted his body to the left, dodging a Gold Light that shot over at extreme speed, narrowly escaping disaster.

However, a Qi Refining Late Stage powerhouse walking behind him was not so lucky.

His chest was directly pierced through by this Gold Light.

He died on the spot, his soul extinguished.

He became a scapegoat for the Elder.

Before this group of Black Iron Villa cultivators could react to what was happening.

The next instant!

Countless Gold Lights shot over from the distance!

"Hum... hum... hum!"

The Gold Light filling the sky was like a torrential rain, densely shooting toward the leading Elder!

The leading Elder was so frightened his expression changed, and he desperately tried to predict and dodge.

Every time he dodged, an unlucky soul died in his place.

"Puff!"

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

"Puff! Puff!"

After only a moment, because he failed to dodge in time once, the leading Elder was struck by a Gold Light and then submerged by the subsequent barrage of Gold Light.

One, two, three...

In an instant, a dozen or twenty Gold Lights poured onto the leading Elder, instantly piercing his body, leaving him riddled with holes and bleeding profusely.

At the same time, the other Black Iron Villa cultivators were scared into fleeing in a panic, all running back like madmen.

Among them was the stubble-faced male cultivator.

The stubble-faced male cultivator was terrified, his legs almost turning into afterimages as he ran back for his life.

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

Suddenly, two Gold Lights shot over violently, instantly piercing through his legs, causing him to fall to the ground with a "thud," wailing in pain.

Not far from him.

The leading Elder, who had previously been submerged by the Gold Light and had his body riddled with holes.

Was now struggling immensely to crawl up from the ground, taking a Changjian out of his Storage Bag out of thin air, and draining the last bit of his Spirit Power to fly through the air and escape.

Unfortunately, just as he flew up, a Gold Light shot over from the side.

With a "puff," it pierced through the center of his brow.

Then, he fell to the ground with a "thud," man and sword together, on the verge of death.

"As expected of a Foundation Establishment expert, still alive even after being headshot."

Chen An held a dazzling Light Sword and walked toward the leading Elder unhurriedly.

The leading Elder struggled to open his incredibly heavy eyelids and asked in a hoarse voice:

"You... who exactly are you..."

"... Swish!"

Chen An was tired of hearing such pre-death questions and directly slashed off his head with one sword strike, ending his life.

Afterward, he skillfully squatted down to loot the corpse, and in a few quick motions, took out a Storage Bag and put it into his pocket.

"You... you, why is it you!"

The stubble-faced male cultivator not far away was shocked upon seeing Chen An's face.

He remembered Chen An, remembered that handsome, god-like face of Chen An's that made men jealous.

But, but wasn't Chen An a Qi Refining Mid-Stage cultivator living in the Cheap Area of the Bamboo Leaf Forest?

How could his strength be so powerful now?!

The stubble-faced male cultivator's face was full of confusion, but even more so, fear.

Looking at Chen An, who was closing in step by step, he lost all composure and begged for mercy: "Fellow Daoist, it was my fault that day, please spare me, I will do anything you want, please..."

"... Swish!"

Chen An cut off his tongue with one sword strike, not wanting to hear his begging anymore.

Then, he dragged him toward where his wives and concubines were as if dragging a dead dog.

A moment later.

The place where his wives and concubines were.

"Thud!"

Chen An threw the tongue-less and leg-less stubble-faced male cultivator in front of Song Huaying, while simultaneously using a Sleep Aid Technique to lull his daughter in her arms to sleep, preventing her from seeing the scene that might be a bit bloody.

Looking at the blood-covered stubble-faced male cultivator before her, Song Huaying instinctively stepped back in fear.

For these past three years, she had dreamed of avenging her deceased family.

But when truly facing the enemy at this moment, she retreated somewhat.

Retreated, frightened by the blood currently on the enemy.

Terrified into retreating by the fact that their enemy was an immortal master.

Terrified into retreating by the scene of the shadow of their entire family being slaughtered by the enemy back then.

Chen An looked at Song Huaying, whose hands were trembling slightly from nervousness, and asked her with a calm expression:

"Ying, I have brought your family's destroyer to you. Do you want me to do it for you, or do you want to do it yourself?"

"Husband, I, I..."

Song Huaying was hesitant and found it difficult to make a decision for a moment.

Following her heart, she could not bring herself to do it; she lacked the courage to act and wanted Chen An to do it for her.

But once she thought of how Chen An had looked down on her before for not being able to stand the sight of blood, and coupled with seeing Chen An silently watching her at this moment, she found it difficult to follow her true heart again.

After several rounds of internal struggle.

She hardened her heart, gritted her teeth, and said, "Hus-husband, I want to do it myself."

Chen An nodded, looked at Gu Xinyue to the side, and said, "Yue, go help hold Xiao Yuejian."

"Mm."

Gu Xinyue walked in front of Song Huaying and took Chen Yuejian from her arms.

Seeing this, Chen An moved his thoughts and took a Changjian out from his Storage Bag, stepped forward to place it in Song Huaying's hand, and said to her:

"Your family's destroyer is only a Qi Refining Mid-Stage cultivator. His spirit sea has already been destroyed by me. In his current state, unable to circulate Spirit Power to protect his body, his physical body is no different from a mortal's and will also die under a blade."

"I, I understand."

Song Huaying's voice was somewhat nervous.

But soon, she gathered her courage, walked to the front of the stubbled male cultivator, stopped, closed her eyes, and thrust the sword fiercely into the location of the stubbled male cultivator's heart.

"Puchi!"

With this sword strike.

The stubbled male cultivator's heart was pierced through in an instant.

The entire person died as thoroughly as could be.

"Thump!"

Song Huaying collapsed to the ground, gripping the sword, looking at the family destroyer she had killed with her own hands, gasping for air in large gulps.

Chen An stepped forward to gently help her up and asked in a gentle voice, "Do you feel much more relieved in your heart?"

"I, I don't know..."

Song Huaying could not describe how she felt at this moment.

She just felt very chaotic, somewhat numb.

Chen An silently took out a Cleaning Talisman to clean the bloodstains and the smell of blood from Song Huaying's body.

Afterwards, he said to his three wives and concubines:

"Let's go, continue on our way to the Mountain Sea Domain's Heaven and Earth Sect, and strive to arrive within a month."

"Mm."

The wives and concubines responded.

Before long, the family of five once again set foot on the journey to the Mountain Sea Domain's Heaven and Earth Sect.

In the following half a month or so.

Chen An and his wives and daughter traveled day and night.

Apart from eating, sleeping, and occasional necessary rest, the remaining time was basically all spent on the road.

During this period, they encountered Demon, encountered rogue cultivators, and accidentally entered dangerous areas, facing precarious situations.

But without exception, they were all resolved by Chen An in the end.

As long as one does not court death, a Foundation Establishment expert can fully manage to travel safely in most regions without being harmed by Demon or rogue cultivators.

However, this was only the usual situation.

Sometimes, when traveling outside often, it is hard to guarantee one won't run into high-level Demon or encounter demonic cultivators with extremely high cultivation.

In such a situation, let alone Foundation Establishment, even Golden Core could potentially fall.

Fortunately, Chen An's luck was not too bad.

Throughout this journey, he had not encountered such special circumstances.

"Everyone, hold on a little longer; we can reach our destination in less than three days at most."

Chen An looked at the map in his hand while encouraging his wives and daughter, who were already exhausted to the point of being physically and mentally drained behind him.

Upon hearing this news, the wives and daughter immediately felt much more spirited.

"Hum—"

At this moment, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the sky.

Chen An heard the sound and looked up, and what entered his eyes was a beautiful figure Sword Flight in the sky, moving at an extremely fast speed.

As the figure drew closer, he unexpectedly discovered that the person standing on the sword was actually Shen Qingyi.

But soon, this surprise of his completely turned into mental tension, his face full of vigilance.

Because the Shen Qingyi on the sword at this moment was no longer in her usual heroic and spirited posture, but was covered in wounds, her chest pierced through by a grey-sheathed Changjian, and she was falling from high altitude, swaying.
