The Second Volume of Struggling for Hegemony in the Xianxia Realm Chapter 27: Disciple Ruan Hui Si (Ticketed)
The Xiu Zhen realm is a vast universe, almost infinite, with the speed of teleportation in the Mahayana period of Xiu Zhen practitioners, even if teleporting for tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years, it may not be possible to reach the end, which can be seen from this.
Xuanhui Star, in the vast universe of Xiuzhen, is only a medium to upper-level Xiuzhen star. There are tens of millions of Xiuzhen practitioners on this planet.
There are three city pools on Xuan Tianxing, namely: Ruan's City Pool, Qu's City Pool, Yao's City Pool, and Ruan's Conference Hall.
"Big brother, Tianjian Sect is too bullying, we have to pay them 70% of our annual income, what's the reason?" Ruan Huishi said indignantly.
"Although this Tianjian Sect is not particularly impressive among the many forces in the Xiu Zhen realm, our Ruan family's strength is still slightly inferior to theirs. Even if we can fight them to a draw, I'm afraid it would be a boon for the Qi and Yao families who are eyeing us covetously. Later on, the control of the transmission array might change hands, and at that time, we might not even get 30% of the income." Ruan Qingshan sighed helplessly.
Ruan Hui sighed silently, she naturally also knew this situation, but if they just endured and swallowed their breath every year to pay 70% of their income as tribute to the Tianjian Sect, then the Ruan family would never be able to hold their heads up again.
"What do you think about this matter, elders?" Ruan Hui Si turned her gaze to the seven elders who were listening on the side.
"This matter need not be discussed again." A gray figure suddenly appeared in the hall.
"Pay respects to the great elder." Everyone bowed and greeted Ruan Lian Tian with respect.
Ruan Lian Tian took a deep breath and said, "It's not that easy for the Tianshen Sect to take down our Ruan family. Even if we have to hand over control of the transmission array to the Qu or Yao families, we can't yield to the Tianshen Sect. The Ruan family isn't so weak-willed. Qing Shan and Hui Si stay behind, everyone else go down and prepare for battle."
Ruan Lian Tian is currently the highest cultivation among the Ruan family, a five-tribulation scattered immortal. The Ruan family can suppress the Qi and Yao families only because of his existence. What he says naturally becomes the final decision, no need to discuss further.
After the other elders had paid their respects and left, Ruan Qing Shan and Ruan Hui Si, brother and sister, came to Ruan Lian Tian's side and called out in unison: "Grandfather."
"Hmm. Not bad, both of you siblings have reached the Tribulation period now, and Hui Si is about to break through to the late stage of the Tribulation period, really not bad." Ruan Lian Tian said with a smile.
"Great Grandfather, I heard that the Tianjian Sect has not only one 5th Tribulation Loose Immortal, but also two 2nd Tribulation and one 3rd Tribulation Loose Immortals. But our Ruan family only has you, a single 5th Tribulation Loose Immortal, which doesn't look good." Ruan Qingshan said worriedly.
"If Master were here, we wouldn't have to worry." Ruan Huixiang muttered softly beside her.
Ruan Lian Tian was taken aback, and Ruan Hui Si's unintentionally muttered sentence was heard clearly by him. He couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Hui Si, do you have a master? When did you find a master?"
Yu Qing Shan jumped up on hearing this and suddenly realized, "No wonder, no wonder you knew that formation, I finally understand now."
Originally, Ruan Qing Shan was studying an array method for several months but couldn't grasp the key. Coincidentally, his sister Ruan Hui Si happened to pass by and pointed out a few sentences, which made him understand the essence of the array method. Later, when he asked his sister how she understood it, she didn't say anything, leaving him puzzled until now when he suddenly realized.
Ruan Hui thoughtfully smiled and said with reverence: "Of course I have a master, that was 400 years ago. At that time, I had just reached the Golden Elixir stage and went out for my first trial. I ignorantly attacked a wolf demon equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage, but fortunately, my master happened to pass by and saved me. Otherwise, I would have been eaten by that wolf demon long ago. Unfortunately, it's been almost 400 years since I last saw Master, and I don't know where he is now."
Ruan Lian Tian couldn't help but feel a little stunned, thinking that Hui Si had recently found an incredibly powerful immortal master. He thought to himself that if he could take on a disciple who was in the middle of crossing the calamity, then that master must be at least a formidable immortal. But it turned out that this was something that happened 400 years ago.
Ruan Qing Shan's eyes widened in surprise, he hadn't expected his sister to have such an experience. Curious, he asked: "And then your master took you on as a disciple just like that?"
Ruan Hui's face turned slightly red, and she smiled awkwardly, saying: "That's right, I'm naturally clever, and my master is wise and discerning."
Ruan Qing Shan hadn't had time to ponder why his sister's face was red when he heard Tai Ye Ye shout, "Who is this?"
"Haha, our family's great elder is indeed famous for a reason." A clear voice came over, and as soon as the words fell, four people had already appeared before their eyes.
Ruan Lian Tian's eyes sparkled with a sharp light, and he asked word by word: "Tian... Jian... Zong?"
Among the four people, the white-robed man standing in front smiled and said, "That's right, I hate Long Tian. These three are the elders of my Tiān Jiàn Sect."
"Oh... I don't know what you mean by coming here, Brother Tian." Ruan Lian Tian asked, pretending to be unaware.
At this time, other elders of the Ruan family and high-ranking masters above the Split Spirit Period rushed over.
Hate the long sky, watching dozens of people rushing over, in an instant, the momentum burst out, and every pair of eyes swept past. The crowd that was swept away felt a surge of invisible pressure coming on, pressing down as if they couldn't breathe, those with slightly lower strength had their legs go soft, and their whole body trembled violently.
He was extremely pleased with the reaction of the crowd, and his visit this time was to increase the psychological pressure on the Ruan family, letting them know the strength of their Tianjian Sect, in order to achieve the goal of making the Ruan family offer tribute to them. Of course, if they still refused to yield even then, he thought that with just the four of them, they should be enough to sweep through the Ruan family.
Suddenly, another surge of momentum rose up, which was emitted by Ruan Lian Tian. The two surges of momentum came into contact with each other, causing both people's bodies to shake violently. The momentum surged again, forming a magnetic field around the two men, forcing everyone else to retreat.
"What have you decided?" Yan Lian Tian stopped and asked, unable to bear the sight of Ruan's family.
"Hmph, that's impossible." Ruan Lian Tian also stopped and said resolutely. Offer tribute to the Tian Jian Sect? If it were a major sect in the Xiu Zhen world doing so, although reluctantly, it would be an unavoidable matter. But this Tian Jian Sect was only slightly stronger than his own Ruan family, with just one more third-class immortal and two second-class scattered immortals. How could he, a dignified fifth-class scattered immortal, tolerate such humiliation?
His eyes suddenly turned sharp and cold, and he sneered: "Ruan Lian Tian, your Ruan family only has you as a lone immortal, do you think that just because of you alone, you can stop us? Or do you think these few tribulation period kids can help you? You can't be naive enough to think that little girl in the middle of her tribulation can help you, right?"
"What's wrong with you, little girl? The little girl isn't even afraid of this old man." Ruan Huishi said with a frosty face.
"Looking for death." With a long and angry wave of his hand, a terrifying force attacked Ruan Hui's body.
"What's the big deal about bullying younger people? What kind of trick do you have, come at me!" Ruan Lian Tian said as he swung his hand, and the terrifying power that was attacking Ruan Hui Si instantly dissipated into nothingness.
Xian Tian's eyes were gloomy as he said, "Ruan Lian Tian, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. I'll ask you once more: will your Ruan family really not offer tribute to our Tian Jian Sect?"
"You can ask a hundred times more, but the answer is still no, so you might as well give up."
"Don't blame me for being ruthless then." Heng Chang Tian waved his hand, and a golden flying sword appeared in his hand, with the aura of immortal spirits flowing subtly on its body.
Ruan Lian Tian took a deep breath, and suddenly a divine artifact appeared. No wonder Heng Chang Tian's tone was so arrogant; it turned out he had a divine artifact. This time the Ruan family was truly in a precarious situation. While thinking to himself, his hands didn't slow down, and a fan-like weapon appeared in his hand - the top-grade spiritual artifact, Flute Needle Fan.
"Give me the upper hand." Heng Chang Tian shouted loudly, and took the lead in wielding his sword to attack Ruan Lian Tian, instantly engaging in a fierce battle with him.
The other three elders of the Tianjian Sect also took out their magical treasures and rushed forward. Ruan Qingshan led two pre- Tribulation high-level experts to form a Sancai Sword Array, while another nine post- Tribulation high-level experts formed a Jiugong Sword Array, attacking that Three-Tribulation Loose Immortal.
Ruan's family had three more people in the later stage of integration, two in the middle stage, and two in the early stage. The seven formed a Seven Kill Sword Formation, surrounding another Second Tribulation Loose Immortal.
The remaining two-jie scattered immortal walked towards Ruan Hui with a sly smile, and the Ruan family was left with only Ruan Hui, who was in the middle of crossing his tribulation, and one pre-unification period and one divided spirit mid-term expert.
Sigh...
That Second Tribulation Loose Immortal launched an attack, and three golden lights shot towards Ruan Hui Si and the other two. Ruan Hui Si's face changed slightly, and his hands flew quickly to cast a spell, as ten thousand green lights merged into one and collided with the incoming golden light.
"Bang..." Ruan Hui Si was shocked and took a few steps back, her face flushed red, her whole body's blood boiling over, suppressing the urge to vomit blood, with a glance of residual light in her eyes, but her heart felt a chill.
Apart from Taiye, who was still evenly matched with that long-haired Tian Dou, the others were already at a disadvantage in their battle against the three Sanjie scattered immortals. Defeat was only a matter of time. As for the seven combined period experts who fought against the other two Sanjie scattered immortals, they all had light injuries on their bodies in this short moment. On his side, apart from himself having only minor injuries, the other two were already seriously injured. This was just the beginning, and Ruan Hui thought helplessly with a bitter smile.
That Second Tribulation Loose Immortal had severely injured the two of them during the Nascent Soul and Core Formation stages, but he hadn't found it that easy either. The combined strength of the three had also sent him flying, his energy and blood churning wildly.
However, in just an instant, the Second Tribulation Scattered Immortal had adjusted his breath and was walking towards Ruan Hui with a gloomy smile. His hands fluttered rapidly as ten thousand golden lights transformed into a massive palm that slapped towards Ruan Hui. After all, the two were not on the same level; if this palm truly landed, Ruan Hui would definitely be severely injured.
In a desperate situation where there was no room for hesitation, Ruan Hui Si could only grit her teeth and mobilize all the true essence in her body to prepare for another fierce battle.
A loud crash.
It was the sound of the second calamity scattered immortal who was attacking Ruan Hui Si flying horizontally and hitting the wall, everyone was stunned by this sudden change. Ruan Hui Si was the first to react, excitedly shouting: "Master."
