Longevity Begins From Raising Disciples

”Sister Su, a few days before we met you, we had a confrontation with Zhong Yue.”

Today, it was explained to Su Qingtai,

”Moreover... this group seems to have ulterior motives, intending to harm the Yan Cultivators.”

”What?”

Su Qingtai was shocked; those four from Huayue Mansion were all at the Foundation Establishment sixth-layer, with extraordinary strength.

Although she was also at the Foundation Establishment sixth-layer, she didn’t think she was a match for Huayue Mansion.

She gasped, ”Could Huayue Mansion really be targeting us? How dare they! This is the territory of the Yan Kingdom!”

Qing Jun blinked cutely and said:

”Sister Su, if they only kill one or two, who would notice? Don’t be too optimistic. If Huayue Mansion decides to act, you would be the first they’d target, Sister Su! After all, Sister Su is a renowned talent!”

Damn girl!

She was clearly trying to scare me!

Su Qingtai shuddered instantly.

Indeed, in the Grotto Heaven, life and death are one’s own fate.

If someone dies, just blame it on demon beasts or traps; even if the outside world investigates, they won’t find anything.

If Huayue Mansion truly has the ambition of weakening the Yan Kingdom’s Cultivation Realm, she, a true inheritor from Medicine King Valley, is definitely a piece of juicy meat dangled before them!

Thinking of this,

Su Qingtai instinctively moved closer to Zhiwei, looking worried: ”Sister Lu, what should we do? I’m... I’m no match for them; even together, we can’t beat them!”

The four from Huayue Mansion are indeed a tough nut.

Take Zhong Yue, for example.

Back then, even with the combined efforts of the sisters, and after a thousand attempts, they failed to kill Zhong Yue, allowing him to escape.

What’s more, it’s said that Zhong Yue and his brother are twins, which makes their combined fighting power even stronger.

If the four of them join forces to kill,

even Zhiwei has no confidence in victory... as they are now, their cultivation is still too weak; only Jin’er is in the Middle Period of Foundation Establishment among them.

”Qing Jun is right. Taoist Su, for now, the best plan is for us to join forces and try to find allies. Like Zhong Jinliu, for example.”

Zhiwei calmly analyzed.

Qing Jun stuck out her tongue: ”Had I known, we would have joined them earlier!”

Earlier, Zhong Jinliu had invited them!

But at the time, they didn’t agree for safety reasons.

Who knew that in recent days there’d be frequent encounters with demon cultivators... being projected once under such frequent encounters.

”There’s no regret medicine in the world.”

Zhiwei extended her finger and lightly tapped Qing Jun’s forehead, her expression indifferent,

”Besides, it’s crucial to be cautious of others. If we had rashly joined them then, who knows, we might have already become their cannon fodder to probe the way. Master said, no matter when, we must hold the initiative in our hands.”

Qing Jun covered her forehead, mumbling with partial understanding, then her eyes lit up:

”Sister, I get it! If Huayue Mansion’s people are pursuing us, and we go to them now, Zhong Jinliu would have no choice but to help!”

”I didn’t quite say that...”

The young girl’s expression was innocent.

Su Qingtai was left dumbfounded by the conversation.

Goodness.

These three girls, not one of them is a good egg!

In simple terms, aren’t they just creating trouble for others?

But... she likes it, hehe.

...

Half an hour later.

The originally quiet forest suddenly had a cold wind blowing.

”Swoosh——!”

A violent spiritual pressure descended from above, and several figures with imposing auras landed.

The person leading them held an exquisite folding fan, with a face both sinister and handsome; it was none other than Hua Yue, one of the four prodigies of Budu River—Hua Wuyin!

Behind him, wrapped entirely in bandages and suffering from burn pain, Zhong Yue had a grave expression.

His brother Zhong Shan had eyes as red as blood:

”Damn it! Where are those bitches who injured my brother?”

He Qinyuan followed the three,

carefully observing the ashes on the ground, she remarked in surprise:

”Demon cultivators? Emotion Crossing Sect? Why would they come here... Emotion Crossing Sect has long been on good terms with the Li Family of Tide Lake; if they did come, why didn’t they notify us?”

”Look at the scene; killing and burning corpses, even meticulously erasing traces. Those Lingyin Sect girls are more troublesome than we imagined.”

”Troublesome? Hehe, the more prey struggles, the more beautiful it becomes. The scream of snapping their limbs is music to the ears,”

Hua Wuyin licked his blood-red lips with excitement.

He stepped forward to examine the remaining traces on the ground closely.

Suddenly,

”Zheng——!!!”

A sword cry piercing the skies erupted abruptly at the ear!

The soil exploded with a roar, and three fierce sword qis shot out from below, directly targeting Hua Wuyin’s face!

That was the restriction Zhiwei had set before leaving!

”Presumptuous!”

Hua Wuyin’s face changed drastically; he never expected that seemingly harmless white-robed girl to be so cunningly malicious, leaving behind such a deadly trap before departing.

The folding fan in his hand swung out, and surging spiritual power transformed into an ice shield in front of him.

”Boom——!”

The wind and thunder sword qi collided violently with the ice shield!

The ferocious sword qi shattered the ice shield, and the remaining sharp sword light tore through Hua Wuyin’s protective spiritual light, leaving a deep bone-revealing blood mark on his proudly handsome face!

A lock of severed hair gently drifted down.

Hua Wuyin reached out to touch the warm blood on his cheek, his face darkened to the extreme.

Not only did he fail to catch up, but he got disfigured by the sword qi left by the opponent!

To a pervert who valued appearance so highly, the hatred of being disfigured was almost akin to the murder of his parents!

”Lu Zhiwei, damn it! I will peel her skin!”

He had previously met Chen Ye’s three disciples, knowing that among them, Lu Zhiwei was the most skilled in swordsmanship.

”Enough, save your disgusting rhetoric. Furious impotence is useless except for exposing your loss of composure.”

He Qinyuan glanced at him coldly, showing no sympathy for Hua Wuyin’s plight.

She looked at the distant horizon and frowned,

”They’ve already discovered us? Strange... Never mind, let’s chase! They won’t get far!”

...

Meanwhile.

Through layers of dense forest, the front suddenly opened up, revealing a gourd-shaped deep canyon.

Zhiwei and her group held their breath and concentrated, cautiously investigating from a hidden cliff above.

At the canyon’s bottom, flashes of spiritual light and booming noises echoed like muffled thunder.

Over a dozen ghost cultivators clad in black robes and wearing faceless masks had formed a formation, continuously channeling spiritual power into the person ahead.

That person, draped in a gray robe, was rapidly forming seals with both hands, controlling a compass-like magical treasure, breaking an ancient bronze door embedded in the cliff.

It was Zhong Jinliu!

”Look at the pattern fluctuations on that bronze door... What a powerful restriction! It’s undoubtedly a Golden Core period Cave Mansion!”

Su Qingdai lowered her voice in surprise,

”This guy, why isn’t he teaming up with Spirit Treasure Sect cultivators but mixing with the ghost group?”

Zhiwei shook her head; she didn’t understand either.

”Senior sister, the door isn’t opened yet, aren’t we supposed to wait for them to breach it? What if Huayue Mansion folks chase us now?”

Qing Jun lay by the cliff edge, her two small feet dangling in mid-air lazily, pouting,

”Hmm... The restriction was triggered, they’ve already come!”

Zhiwei grabbed her eager junior sister, a gleam of cold light flashed in her eyes.

As expected,

The pursuers were right behind them!

The restriction she had intentionally left behind was triggered!

”Have they come!?” The girl became excited.

”Prepare to engage.”

Zhiwei steadied her expression and leaped off the cliff!

The other girls hurriedly followed suit.

”Who goes there?!”

Zhong Jinliu was suddenly alarmed as he concentrated on breaking the formation, nearly suffering backlash from the spell in his hand.

Turning around, he saw four figures landing behind him.

Recognizing them, Zhong Jinliu first froze, then frowned deeply:

”It’s you? Lingyin Sect girls?”

His gaze swept over Zhiwei and the others, surprised.

The surrounding cultivators all stared coldly at these four.

”Taoist Zhong, long time no see.”

Zhiwei slightly cupped her hands, her expression calm, as if she hadn’t noticed the other’s hostile demeanor.

”Junior sister Lu? What brings you here?”

Zhong Jinliu paused, restraining his surprise with a gentle smile,

”Do you also wish to claim a share of this predecessor’s Cave Mansion? Hmm... seems like that batch of loose cultivators were not thoroughly dealt with. ”

”But junior sister is different from those loose cultivators; if you wish to claim a share, why not wait until I break the formation first? How about it?”
