Chapter 040 Leaving Qianjiang

  If it weren't for Xue Rang's help, Du Fei Yun and his mother and sister might have lost their lives tonight. Of course, more importantly, if it weren't for Xue Rang, the Du family's small courtyard wouldn't have been able to return to calm in just a few hours.

  The two young housekeepers sent by Xue Rang were very capable, with clean and nimble hands and feet. In a short while, they had cleaned up the messy courtyard of the Du family, without leaving any trace of blood.

  As for those broken doors and windows and roof tiles, there's no way to repair them at night, so we'll just have to wait until later.

  Xue Jian briefly examined Du Feiyun's injuries and found that he had only exhausted his yuan energy, and his mind was shaken. He would recover in ten to fifteen days of rest, and then he left with a relieved heart.

  After using the Nine Dragon Cauldron, Du Fei Yun was once again exhausted and paralyzed at home, taking three whole days to recover his vitality. Of course, the vitality stored in the Nine Dragon Cauldron still hadn't been fully replenished, requiring at least ten more days of diligent cultivation.

  Originally, Du Fei Yun thought that by bringing his sister and mother to Qianjiang City, he could settle down and live a plain life. He could go back to Hui Chun Tang to practice medicine, earn money, accumulate medicinal materials, and refine Chi Yun Dan to treat his mother's illness.

  Unexpectedly, the young master of the Qin family, Qin Shou Nan, actually found out about the changes in his household and brought Qin Shou Zheng to take revenge. Fortunately, Xue Rang lent a hand this time, so Du Fei Yun was able to narrowly escape disaster. What about next time? When Qin Shou Nan returns again, what should Du Fei Yun do?

  The peaceful life of the family was disrupted, and their stable days were about to disappear. If they continued to live in Qianjiang City, they would face Qin Shou Nang's counterattack and assassination at any time and place.

  Du Feiyun does not have too much ambition, at least for now, just wants to let a family live a stable and affluent life. In addition, he can cultivate the way of longevity, one day step into the profound realm, thus living forever, flying in the sky and escaping on the ground without any difficulty.

  But now that he has achieved these two wishes, his life is in danger, so he must think of a way to change this situation.

  Leaving Qianjiang City, a city that has just become familiar from unfamiliarity, has become inevitable. They can no longer continue to live in Qianjiang City, after all Qin Shou Nan will return at any time.

  But where could they go after leaving Qianjiang City? His only relatives were Du Yunqing and Du Shi, who else could he turn to for shelter?

  At this thought, Du Feiyun's heart even gave rise to a sense of desolation, as if the world was vast and his home was nowhere to be found.

  He is still very unfamiliar with this world, at least he has never stepped out of the Qianjiang City domain and has not been in contact with the outside world. Even if he escapes from the pursuit that may come at any time, he doesn't know where to escape to.

  For three days, Du Feiyun had been thinking about this problem. He was wondering whether he should leave Qianjiang City and temporarily hide in another city. Although this could temporarily avoid Qin Shou Nuo's assassination, it was not the most stable and feasible way.

  After all, Qin Shou Nannang has many followers, and he will definitely gather people to investigate the whereabouts of their family. Even if they escape again, they cannot escape the pursuit of the other party.

  After all, it's still necessary to increase our strength!!

  If he possesses the power of Innate Boundary, then what is there to fear from Qin Shuang's assassination?

  Enhancing strength is still an urgent task, allowing no room for complacency. For without strength, it means that the next time, one may lose their life under the enemy's sword.

  Tonight, Xue Rang had come to find him and talked with him for a long time. He also told him a lot of news that he had never heard before.

  Xue Rang told him that both Qin Shou Nan and the deceased black-clad man used Qing Shan Jian Zong's Qing Shan Ning Jian technique, so they must be disciples of Qing Shan Jian Zong.

  Before, Du Feiyun had occasionally heard of Qin Shou Nan's name in Baishi Town and knew that Qin Wannian's eldest son was called Qin Shou Nan. However, he did not expect that the reason why Qin Shou Nan was not in Baishi Town was actually because he had joined Qing Shan Jian Zong and became a disciple of the sect, constantly practicing bitterly outside.

  Qingshan Jianzong's reputation, Du Feiyun had also heard of it for the first time, and only after being introduced by Xue Rang did he understand the strength and influence of Qingshan Jianzong.

  Whether in Qingyuan State or any other country on this land, the power of a sect far exceeds that of a wealthy family. Of course, except for the royal family that controls a country.

  So, just from the name alone, it's enough to imagine that the power of Qing Shan Jian Zong is naturally unparalleled. Compared to the strength of the three major families in Bai Shi Town, Qing Shan Jian Zong is completely on a different level, with no comparability at all.

  Qianjiang City and thirty-seven other cities are under the jurisdiction of Baichuan Prefecture. Within the borders of Baichuan Prefecture, there are dozens of large and small Taoist sects.

  The Qing Shan Jian Zong is one of the four major sects in the Bai Chuan region, with immense power and great reputation throughout the Qing Yuan country. The sect has tens of thousands of disciples, countless powerful masters, and an abundance of talented individuals.

  Qingshan Sword Sect is a rather special sect, ordinary sects generally do not dare to provoke it easily, the main reason is that Qingshan Sword Sect is a sword cultivation sect.

  What is known as sword cultivation, Xue Rang had also explained it to Du Feiyun.

  Generally, masters use various magical tools, ordinary ones include flying swords, and unconventional ones include whips, hairpins, bottles, etc. Masters manipulate magical tools with their spirit and yuan force to perform long-range magic battles, and the main means of fighting is to compare magical tools and Taoist techniques.

  The Jianxiu Sect is different, they mainly cultivate and refine the flying sword! Moreover, they all engage in close combat with swords, using exquisite swordsmanship to fight and contend.

  The path of sword cultivation is the most arduous and extraordinary, and it also tempers one's heart. Of course, among cultivators of the same level, sword cultivators are also top-notch in terms of combat power. Their robust physique and defensive capabilities, exquisite swordsmanship, and fierce attacks make ordinary cultivators dare not provoke them.

  Jian Xiu's prowess was something Du Fei Yun had deeply experienced, but Qin Shou Nan's swordsmanship made him truly feel what it meant to be sharp and fierce.

  A Qin Shou Nan has already given Du Fei Yun a headache, if there are tens of thousands of such sword cultivators, then the power of Qing Shan Jian Zong...

  Du Feiyun couldn't think any further and only felt a chill on his back, involuntarily shivering.

  Whether it's Qing Shan Jian Zong or other cultivator sects, the atmosphere within the sect is extremely united, and the sect attaches great importance to cultivating cohesion among its disciples.

  So when a junior or apprentice in the sect is bullied or injured, the seniors and masters of the sect are likely to come forward to seek justice for their juniors.

  The Qing Shan Jian Zong sect, all the disciples in the sect are cultivating the sword path, and the killing intent is naturally extremely strong. If they find out that Du Fei Yun killed a disciple of the Qing Shan Jian Zong, then they will definitely gather high-ranking experts to come and take revenge on Du Fei Yun.

  If Qing Shan Jian Zong deliberately targeted Du Fei Yun, then no matter where he escaped to, it would be difficult for him to evade the other party's search and pursuit. After all, the strength of Qing Shan Jian Zong had already covered the entire Bai Chuan territory. Killing Du Fei Yun was simply effortless.

  If he continues to stay in Qianjiang City, he will inevitably invite Qin Shou Nuo's crazy revenge, and it is likely that he will gather a group of Qing Shan Jian Zong disciples to come. At that time, Du Fei Yun will be hard-pressed to escape death even if he has any means.

  Leaving Qianjiang City and finding a place where one can settle down has become an urgent task at the moment.

  Thinking of this, Du Fei Yun got up from the bed and walked to the window, gazing at a jade token that he had been holding in his hand all along, with thoughts surging in his mind.

  This jade token was given to him by Xue Rang when he came to visit tonight, and before leaving, he entrusted him that if he made up his mind, he would take his family out of Qianjiang City with this jade token and find a woman named Xue Bing in Liuyun Sect.

  At this thought, Du Feiyun's mouth corner revealed a warm smile, and he was extremely grateful to Xue Rang in his heart. Because, this was the way out that Xue Rang had helped him think of, currently the only feasible way out.

  Only by leaving Qianjiang City and going to Liuyun City to join the Liuyun Sect, finding Xue Bing, and under her introduction becoming a disciple of the Liuyun Sect, can one gain a chance at survival.

  Like Qing Shan Jian Zong, Liu Yun Zong is also one of the four major sects in Bai Chuan Prefecture, with a similar strength and status. The sect has tens of thousands of disciples, gathering elites, talents, and numerous masters.

  If I'm lucky enough to join the Liu Yun Sect and become a disciple, I'll naturally be able to obtain the sect's protection and won't have to fear the Qing Shan Jian Sect's revenge.

  More importantly, cultivating within a sect allows one to have high-level masters and renowned teachers guiding them on the path of cultivation, leading to a deeper understanding of the way of cultivation and faster improvement in strength. Moreover, within a sect, whether it be material supplies, skill learning, or training opportunities, everything is readily available. With the protection of a sect, cultivating one's path will become even more rapid and swift.

  Du Feiyun was grateful to Xue Jian, who pointed out this bright path that could both secure his life and speed up his cultivation when he was in such a predicament.

  Looking back, he had known Xue Rang for less than two months. Apart from discussing medical skills and teaching him a few rare prescriptions and pill formulas with Xue Rang, it seemed that he hadn't helped each other much.

  Xue Rang, however, solved his income problem and saved the lives of his family members. Now he is planning a way out for him, which can be considered as a great favor. For Du Fei Yun, Xue Rang is the first noble person in his life.

  He believed that if one day he became a monk and embarked on the path of immortality, Xue Rang would definitely be his guide. Du Feiyun was a person who distinguished between gratitude and resentment, and also repaid kindness, and he remembered Xue Rang's kindness in his heart.

  However, he was even more interested now and wondered what requirements the Liuyun Sect had for recruiting disciples. What was the relationship between Xue Bing and Xue Rang?
