Don’t let that little girl escape, she’s a big catch!\" A lewd voice, familiar to Zhou Xun, said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wei Shangren!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a small world, why is he here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately concealed himself and continued to observe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One, two, three...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were eleven in total, four were Middle-Stage Qi Refining cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Shangren’s older brother, Wei Shangli, was among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from their words, they were pursuing a woman here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately lowered his voice to ask Lin Xue’e beside him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister-in-law, are there any young women of high status in your family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being called a \"little girl,\" she couldn’t be too old, and to cause Wei Shangren and many cultivators to chase her, her status must not be low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In our generation, apart from my cousin, there’s only Fourteenth Uncle’s daughter, but she’s currently at the Spirit Medicine Pavilion in White Cloud Immortal City, not in Red Leaf Square!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Doesn’t that mean my cousin also escaped to this place?\" Lin Xue’e thought of this conclusion and immediately panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, Erniu, big brother, we have to save her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Xue’e’s cousin is none other than Lin Xueying!\" Zhou Xun thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a coincidence, she also came here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it was no longer a question of whether to rescue or not. With the way these cultivators were searching, they would soon find their hiding spot in this cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So regardless of whether he wanted to save anyone, he had no choice but to act!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The saying goes, strike first to gain the advantage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had to act, it was essential to find the right moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then looked towards the Wang Erniu couple next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was Fourth-Layer Qi Refining, and the other was at the Peak of Third-Layer Qi Refining, coupled with the middle-grade artifacts in their hands, they were formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the short term, one could match two cultivators of the same rank without difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the hidden Lin Family’s eldest daughter was a Peak of Fifth-Layer Qi Refining cultivator. Even if injured, she could match a Middle-Stage Qi Refining cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this calculation, as long as he took the initiative and killed a Middle-Stage Qi Refining cultivator while they were unprepared, their side wouldn’t be too outmatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fight and retreat, there’s a good chance of escaping unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then lifted his head and instructed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Erniu, sister-in-law, let’s remain hidden. Once those searching get close, we’ll strike together, kill a few, and then find your cousin to escape together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Wang Erniu and his wife looked hopeful, finding it a very viable plan. They nodded, gripping their artifacts, holding their breath by the cave entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, the search party spread out in a line. Upon entering the forest, they grouped in pairs; one searched while the other held a half-enchanted artifact shield for defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Wei Shangli and the other three Middle-Stage Qi Refining cultivators closely followed, supporting the frontline searchers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lin Family’s eldest daughter was a Peak of Fifth-Layer Qi Refining cultivator, equipped with fine artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the previous pursuit, she counterattacked and killed several.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This search was to prevent further casualties if she suddenly attacked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Wei Shangli proposed this plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, leaving no room for error, once Lin Xueying was discovered, the four would surround her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This plan was prudent and steady, demonstrating great composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it inadvertently disrupted Zhou Xun’s plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother, what do we do?\" Wang Erniu asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun saw this and felt troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four Middle-Stage Qi Refining cultivators supported each other, both offensive and defensive, making them tough to deal with. Even with his current strength, getting caught might mean no escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the monkey-faced youth and the long-faced man were less than ten yards from the cave and would soon discover it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vines would not be enough to hide from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he felt at a loss, he glanced at Lin Xue’e, and suddenly a plan formed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have an idea, but sister-in-law might have to take some risks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother, just tell me!\" Lin Xue’e replied without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Wang Erniu seemed concerned and quickly spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother, how about I go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Xun shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This can only be done by sister-in-law!\" He then shared his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xue’e looked very similar to Lin Xueying. Temporarily posing as Lin Xueying and running from the cave into the distance would draw their attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the four Qi Refining cultivators chased past the cave, Zhou Xun and Wang Erniu would ambush them from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the element of surprise, they would surely succeed in making a crucial hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this plan was somewhat risky for Lin Xue’e.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If all those cultivators attacked, Lin Xueying might face the risk of falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Erniu, let me do it. Even hiding in the cave won’t ensure safety, so it’s better to fight!\" Lin Xue’e made a quick decision, gave a brief instruction, and immediately dashed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monkey-faced youth and the long-faced man were extremely tense as they carefully searched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a white figure darted out ahead and ran into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They focused their gaze, realizing it was a woman, and she glanced back as she ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking closely, wasn’t she the woman they were pursuing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, they raised their half-enchanted artifact shield for complete protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then shouted towards the back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I found her! I found the Lin Family’s eldest daughter, she’s running that way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had those words fallen than the four Middle-Stage Qi Refining cultivators and other searchers converged quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved with speed, covering the distance in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In moments, several figures crossed past the side of the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the dense vines and their focus entirely on the distant white figure, none noticed Zhou Xun and his companion just a few yards away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the four Middle-Stage cultivators arrived at the spot and leapt forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now!\" Zhou Xun’s hand, held high for so long, dropped heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then activated the Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blade he held for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two golden shadows streaked out, slicing through the vines at the cave entrance like lightning, cutting into the last Fifth-Layer Qi Refining square-faced middle-aged cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two shadows connected seamlessly, piercing through the man’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slight pft sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s head flew high while his body continued forward, tumbling two yards before crashing heavily to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhou Xun charged out, Wang Erniu was not slow, wielding an Eight-Sided Han Sword artifact, he fiercely struck a pockmarked face man nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was caught off guard, without any defense, beheaded by Wang Erniu’s sword, dying instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a sudden change shocked the group opposite them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Zhou Xun also emerged from the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A handsome face appeared before them, Wei Shangren was shocked, and then gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhou Xun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1244,"2026-06-02T11:38:42.416Z",1,"novelbin.me","6c1398df03efa95da3c00c6fd1f244a5dae39e01c8c2ed4474df4834e9c338bb","cultivation-from-servant-to-revered-immortal-chapter-75","cultivation-from-servant-to-revered-immortal-chapter-74",564,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivation-from-servant-to-revered-immortal-cover.jpg"]
