Chapter 1 Brother and Sister

  The trend has already passed...

  Li Tao looked at the ferocious brothers, and his long face, which was already thin and dry, turned pale in an instant.

  "What's wrong..."

  The long sword slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground. Li Tao pounced down on one knee, kowtowing heavily towards Lu Chen...

  "Immortal on Jade Lake, spare my life..."

  "Spare your life?" Lu Chen sneered, looking at Li Tao with a playful expression, as if he was looking at a dead man: "You've been following me for so long, just to kill and rob, but now that you're no match for me, you still dare to ask me to spare your life?"

  As he spoke, Lu Chen held up his long sword with a mocking smile and squatted in front of Li Tao, asking: "Tell me, are you sick or am I?"

  "I'm sick, I'm sick..."

  Li Tao begged for mercy desperately, and could no longer hear what Lu Chen was saying.

  "That's right." Lu Chen let out a long sigh: "Since you're sick, that means I'm not sick. So why should I spare you?"

  "Huh?"

  Li Tao cried with a sad face, didn't expect such a thing to happen, and immediately tears and snot flowed down her body: "You're sick, you're sick."

  "You dare to scold me for being ill? Lord Dao can't forgive you now..."

  "Hmm..."

  Li Tao heard this and fell to the ground with a thud, mud splattering on his face, coughing uncontrollably...

  Lu Chen's eyes turned cold, his long sword raised, and was about to fall.

  At this time, Li Tao's voice suddenly became strong and powerful, with harsh words: "Yu Hu, you killed me, but you won't be better off either. My elder brother will not let you go."

  "Your older brother?"

  The long sword was held at shoulder height, and Lu Chen smiled coldly, saying: "Sorry, I don't know..."

  As he spoke, Lu Chen swiftly slashed down, and a burst of fresh blood spurted out from Li Tao's throat, finally ending his life in a tragic manner.

  He had never intended to let Li Tao and the others off, Lu Chen's hand didn't tremble in the slightest as he swung his sword and killed, it seemed that killing Li Tao was like squashing an ant for him...

  "Bastard, dare to defy my master's will... and not even weigh your own weight..." With another contemptuous glance at Li Tao, Lu Chen turned around and said to Jin Xiu: "Jin Xiu, quickly take away their Qiankun bags, we'll leave this place first."

  "Caw...caw..."

  Jin Xiuyi nodded and with a casual wave of his hand, he grabbed the three Qiankun bags and the three flying swords.

  At this time, Lu Chen had also put away Li Tao's Qian Kun, and the two were about to leave. Suddenly, Lu Chen hesitated slightly, his eyes looking at the four corpses scattered on the ground...

  "Uh, almost forgot..."

  Muttering to himself, Lu Chen said: "Jin Xiu, you little scoundrel are blessed, haha..."

  As he spoke, Lu Chen put away his long sword and made several strange and complex hand seals in front of his chest. He muttered to himself: "Three souls seven spirits, quickly leave the body, rise..."

  As Lu Chen's fingertips rose, the Soul Nurturing Technique that he had silently practiced countless times in his mind was finally executed...

  Four clusters of milky white light seeped out from the corpses of Li Tao and his three companions, who were lying in a pool of blood, as if they were being stripped of their silken cocoons. The lights finally hovered and flickered in mid-air, resembling ghostly fires.

  Lu Chen waved his hand and pointed at Jin Xiu. The wide hood was suddenly blown up by a gust of wind, and the four souls drilled into the black hood at the same time.

  A loud, creaking sound came from the hood, Lu Chen smiled slightly, flipped his hand to open the golden repair box, put Jin Xiu away, and then jumped up, disappearing into the misty vastness of the Hong Huang...

  Killed Li Tao and four others, no one saw it. Lu Chen thought he had done a clean job, but he didn't expect that a talisman paper on Li Tao's body ignited shortly after he left, turning into ashes in an instant...

  ……

  Xianmeng City East, Qixian Street Back Alley...

  Qijian Street can be said to be the high-end luxury residential area of Xianmeng City. From Xianmeng Square, head east for less than a kilometer from the city gate, turn north, and you will naturally see Qixian Avenue composed of hundreds of quadrangle courtyards.

  The vermilion gate has copper rings and iron locks, the courtyard outside the gate covers an area of hundreds of square meters, with flat green bricks paved on the ground, and a few scattered dust; The main house and wing houses in the east, south and north directions are also relatively high-end and luxurious.

  Such buildings are not common in Xianmeng City, but as long as you can live on Qixian Street, the identity and strength of the people here will not be low. The reason is that the land here is expensive, the building is expensive, and even the monthly living expenses are quite considerable.

  There are only two kinds of people living on Qixian Avenue: one is a master with strength above the foundation period, and the other is an organization with extraordinary power.

  Because Master Xi likes quietness, Qi Xian Avenue has always been known as the most peaceful area in Xianmeng City. But it doesn't seem that way today...

  "Hmm..."

  In the midst of a row of traditional quadrangle courtyards, one of them suddenly emitted a loud crash, accompanied by fragments of wooden door panels flying out from within the courtyard walls. A deep and resonant voice then abruptly rang out from inside.

  The voice was thick and hoarse, with a hint of roughness hidden within, clearly a result of extreme anger...

  "Get out, all of you..."

  A loud noise, in the small courtyard, more than a dozen monks rushed out from both the south and north wings, forming a team of nearly thirty people, each with the strength of seven layers of Qi refining. The owner of the voice that had just shouted, had even more extraordinary cultivation of eight layers of Qi refining...

  This man was tall and majestic, with a stature of over two meters, a large face that was slightly purple, covered in stubble like steel needles. His physique was like that of a wild bear as he stood at the entrance, his visual presence alone had an unparalleled impact, not to mention that this man possessed extraordinary cultivation of eight layers of Qi...

  The sturdy man looked at the two rows of monks gathering quickly, and the anger on his face had turned into a killing intent. Suddenly, he shouted: "Where are Wang Mo and Zhao Qiang?"

  "Older brother Yuan, older brother Yuan..."

  Two voices sounded at the same time, like a loud bell... Along with them came two young men wearing white shirts, standing respectfully in front of the strong man...

  That majestic being known as Yuan Ge gazed with a stern expression and wailed: "My brother Li Tao has died..."

  "What?"

  The monks were originally puzzled as to why their leader, Yuan Ge, was so angry. Now that Yuan Ge had explained the situation himself, although it was only six words, he was able to clarify the matter...

  The man at the left end, Wang Mou, angrily said: "Yuan Ge, who is this person so bold as to dare move our You Xian Team's people?"

  "Brother Yuan, find this person! Zhao Qiang will definitely tear him to pieces and avenge Brother Li..." On the right, Zhao Qiang was equally shocked and furious.

  Below, all the cultivators were filled with righteous indignation. If they didn't know who the enemy was at this time, they would have ridden their flying swords and rushed out of the Immortal Alliance City to kill people...

  Zhuang Han was originally named Li Yuan, a top-ranked cultivator among the scattered forces in Xianmeng City. He had achieved 8th-layer cultivation and possessed countless treasures, making him the deputy leader of this group of wandering immortals... And he also had another identity, that is, the elder brother of Li Tao who was just killed by Lu Chen, his own brother...

  Li Yuanzhen was enraged, his whole body trembling, and the large hand he had slightly raised suddenly clenched into a fist. A strand of flame burst forth, shining as brightly as the sun at noon, extremely dazzling to the eyes. Although this light made it difficult for people to open their eyes and gaze directly at it, yet at this moment, not one of the cultivators below closed their eyes...

  They gazed angrily as the light burst forth, and then slowly two small words floated into view in the courtyard...

  Jade Lake

  "It was him..."

  "It's him..."

  The crowd of cultivators who were originally filled with righteous indignation and eager to rush out and slaughter in all directions suddenly froze on the spot when they saw these two words.

  At this time, someone spoke up: "Yu Hu, it's impossible. This Yu Hu only has the strength of a fifth-layer Qi cultivator, and Tao Ge had already verified that earlier. How could he have possibly killed Tao Ge?"

  An insider suddenly said, "That's right, today Taoge brought the three brothers of the Blue Family to find this person. It is said that this person came to Xianmeng City for less than half a year and obtained the Xianmeng Jade Symbol. Taoge also knew him well, so he took the three brothers of the Blue Family over. It seems they have been searching for almost two months."

  "Taoge? Together with the three brothers of the Blue Family, they are all Qi-refining seventh-layer cultivators, their strength is not weak either, it's impossible for them to be killed by Yuhu!"

  ……

  So much for the rumors, all of which were disbelieving voices. Li Yuan glared at them with anger and shouted: "Shut up! This Ling symbol was obtained by this immortal at the cost of thousands of spirit stones, and it can record a wisp of spiritual consciousness before death and transmit it back. My brother Li Tao has been carrying it for many years and dare not leave his side. He left very little before he died, but these two words 'Yu Hu' are absolutely impossible to be fake."

  One anger settles all differences...

  Obviously, Li Yuan's status in the Youxian team is absolutely high above...

  Wang Mou's eyes rolled, and he suddenly froze, turning to ask the voice that had just spoken: "Lan brothers, hasn't Li Tao been collecting green lizard fluid with them all this time?"

  "That voice was as cold as a cicada's cry: 'Captain Wang, that's correct.'"

  Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiang was shocked and turned his head to look at Li Yuan, only to see that his usually ruddy face had turned a ghastly pale.

  "What did you say? The matter of collecting green lizard's corrosive liquid is related to Li Tao, why didn't you report it." Li Yuan's voice was icy cold.

  The monk broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to conceal the truth, saying: "Returning to Yuan Ge, this period of time Tao Ge has been with the Lan family brothers all along, they go out early and return late, subordinates... subordinates thought it was Tao Ge helping to collect green lizard liquid, so... so then..."

  "You..."

  Li Yuanni's lips trembled with rage, and he bellowed: "Get out... all of you, go find Li Tao and the Lanzhou brothers' corpses, especially the Qiankun bag. And Zhao Qiang, Wang Mo, you two get out there and find Yuhu for me... Ah..."

  "Yes, Brother Yuan..."

  As Li Yuan's rage shook, the quiet courtyard suddenly became busy. These Youxian cultivators who were not organized and did not go out normally rushed out of Qixian Street like a mad tide...
