Chapter 93: Re-entering the Mysterious Machine Mountain

  The kite flew high up in the air, almost to the Yu's house, before Li Ran finally brought it back down. His little brother had a look of not having enough fun in his eyes, but he was trembling slightly as he held onto his big brother's hand, and that kind of high-flying had scared him too.

  Li Ruo opened the door, and both Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu looked much better. The 100 taels of silver sent by the city master's mansion, plus the 80 taels that Li Ruo had given them before, suddenly made their family wealthy. These days, the two of them discussed not going into the mountains, but using this money to do some small business and live a peaceful life.

  Li Ruo Dao led his younger brother back to the house, and then fed him the Ling Bao honey again. Using Jing Yuan's energy to refine and dissolve it, he looked at his younger brother's comfortable expression and smiled. Lying down beside his younger brother, he hugged him tightly and whispered, "Xiao Xu, your power has suddenly increased. From now on, unless you're in real danger, never use your powers again..."

  Little brother opened his eyes wide and asked in confusion, "Brother, why... oh, I know. What if the bad guys find out that I'm so powerful? They'll definitely send even more formidable people to beat me up."

  Li Ran nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, in short, you hide your strength as much as possible, don't let anyone find out, otherwise there will be danger later, do you understand?"

  My brother nodded vigorously.

  Li Ran let out a light sigh, letting his younger brother run the breathing technique to sleep again, covering his younger brother with a thin quilt, and staring blankly at his younger brother's small face for a while.

  No matter how reluctant he was to leave, Li Rou had to go.

  In the mysterious mountain, Li Ruo still had an unfulfilled wish. He wanted to strive for an early arrival at the Divine Movement stage. As a Golden Sword Divine Movement disciple, he could then ask Dan Sheng Upper Immortal to accept him as a disciple. At that time, he would be able to ask Dan Sheng Upper Immortal to help rescue his father.

  Pour half a gourd of honey into a jade bottle, cover the jade bottle and gently place it beside his younger brother's pillow. Then he turned around resolutely, walked out of the door, carefully closed the door behind him, took a deep breath and headed towards Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu's room. The two were not asleep at all, the candle was lit, obviously waiting for him.

  Jian Li Ruo's eyes were red as he quietly walked in, and Yu Yuan Tu's face was also full of sadness. He sighed softly: "Ruo Dao, are you leaving?"

  Li Ran nodded solemnly: "Uncle, I must think of a way to rescue Father, Little Xiao is left to you."

  Yuantu and the woman exchanged a glance, with a hint of sadness in their hearts. They knew that Lirang had gone through unimaginable hardships and suffering to save his father, and it must have taken immense willpower to achieve his goal of entering Xuanji Mountain.

  Yuantu nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Xiaoxiao, I've already taken in Xiaohui as my sworn son. From now on, I'll treat him just like my own biological son."

  Li Ruo Dao silently knelt down and kowtowed to Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu. The two hastily stood up, using force to pull Li Ruo Dao up. Li Ruo Dao said in a low voice: "Uncle, these past few days I've been observing, Xiao Xuan is extremely likely to be an exceptional cultivation genius. I plan to go down the mountain again after a year and systematically teach him about cultivation. This year, Uncle please help Xiao Xuan cover up for me, don't let him stir up any trouble."

  Yuantu and the woman exchanged a surprised glance, not expecting that this adopted son he had taken in would have such talent. He nodded and said, "Ran Jian, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

  Li Ruo Dao nodded deeply, clasped his fists in farewell, and the two saw him out. Just as they were walking to the side of the gate, Li Ruo Dao suddenly heard a faint breathing sound behind the gate. His heart skipped a beat as he quickly turned his head, only to see his younger brother emerging with bare feet and tear-stained face, sobbing uncontrollably.

  Li Ran's heart ached greatly, he didn't want his younger brother to see him leave, but unexpectedly he was still discovered by him.

  "Brother, don't you want me anymore? Are you leaving me behind again?"

  Li Rendao almost shed tears upon hearing this, and the couple behind him, Yuantu, were also wiping away their tears. Li Rendao squatted down with open arms, his younger brother ran over and buried himself in his embrace, sobbing heavily: "Brother, you didn't even let me eat anything at night, but today you brought me to eat crab roe so late... I knew you were going to leave..."

  His younger brother was so clever and intelligent, Li Ran's heart felt both comforted and aching. He hugged his younger brother tightly and stroked his hair, saying: "Xiao Xu, how could I not want you? This time when I go out, it's to think of a way to rescue Father. Once I've rescued Father, we'll be together as a family forever and never separate again. Is that okay with you?"

  His younger brother's eyes lit up when he heard this, and with a burst of laughter, he wiped away the tears on his face and exclaimed: "Great, big brother! You must hurry to rescue Dad. I'll wait for you here, come back soon to pick me up. I miss Dad too."

  Xiao Xu understood and took the initiative to walk back, Yuantu pulled Xiao Xu's small hand, and the three of them watched as Li Ran walked out of the gate alone, disappearing into the dark alley. For a moment, they were all in a bad mood.

  Li Ruo Knife hastily left the city, plunged into the depths of the mountain, and the night color submerged the mountain in endless darkness. Li Ruo Knife relied on his profound skills to hurry through the mountains.

  Before returning to Huixuanji Mountain, Li Ruo Dao still wanted to go back to Xuan Shi Valley to take a look at his father. His father was in such a dangerous environment, and Li Ruo Dao was really extremely worried.

  "Counting on my Four-Part Sword Intent, I now have nearly God-Moving Period strength. If the Mystic Stone Valley doesn't have a God-Moving Period expert guarding it, why not take advantage of the opportunity to rescue Father in one move? Later, I can ask Dan Shang to ascend to the Upper Realm and seek help from the Family Alliance to wipe out Father's slave status, so our family can live a peaceful life with dignity."

  "If the Mystic Stone Valley is guarded by a powerful cultivator, I won't be reckless. What if I fail to rescue my father and instead put his safety in jeopardy? In that case, let's proceed with my plan step by step on Mystic Machine Mountain."

  Li Ran's mind was made up, and he quickened his pace as he rushed forward.

  It was already bright when they arrived at the outer ring of Xuan Shi Valley after a night's journey on mountain roads. The mine basked in the warm sunlight, and Li Ruo thought that he would see his father again soon, his heart felt both nervous and anxious.

  This time is different from last time, last time I came, my strength was still too low, this time Li Ran's knife can already look down on all the cultivators below Jingyuan. "When I see Father again, even if I can't rescue Father, at least I can secretly talk to Father for a few words and let him feel at ease. It won't be long before I think of a way to rescue him."

  Li Ran Dao thought of this and felt a slight excitement in his heart, carefully sneaking into the mine.

  After the team leader was killed without reason last time, the patrol intensity of the entire mine has increased, but for Li Ranno now, it's simply not a problem. He easily sneaked into the valley, hid behind a rock and peeked into the valley, where the sound of quarrying, the smoke and dust from the rocks collapsing, and the scene of pulling out stones from the mine with ropes all appeared before his eyes at once.

  Li Ran's eyes narrowed, and he looked around at each of the miners, but none of them were his father.

  Li Ran Dao was not anxious, he knew that his father was definitely in the small valley behind, it was there that he had found his father's shadow last time.

  Li Ran Knife quietly got up, carefully bypassing far away, bypassing a mountain wall, and the small valley behind entered his line of sight.

  "Where is father?"

  Li Ruo's knife A mine slave A mine slave looked over, a gray leather armor mine head was holding a whip, shouting fiercely like a demon, from time to time the whip cracked in the air, with a loud "crack", one of the mine slaves was a bit slower, and a whip lash on that mine slave's back drew out a bloody scar.

  "You're all lazy like pigs. Do you think the Gong family is raising you to just eat and sleep for free? Hurry up and get to work."

  All the mine slaves glared with anger, but they dared not speak out.

  Li Ruo's anger in his heart slowly ignited, this mine head was obviously not the soft-hearted old five from last time, this one was much more ruthless than that old five, and his father had suffered who knows how much injustice here.

  Suppressing his anger, Li Ran's gaze continued to sweep towards the mining slaves, one, two, three... adding that mine head, there were over a hundred people in this small valley, yet he still hadn't seen his father's figure.

  Li Ruo's knife was somewhat flustered, and he looked at them one by one again. No, still no.

  "What's going on? Didn't Father just come here last time? How can he be gone? Is Father in the mine this time?"

  Thinking of this possibility, Li Ruo suppressed the anxiety in his heart and hid behind a rock to wait patiently. However, as the whole day passed by, dusk gradually shrouded the mountain valley, but he still didn't see his father's figure. This time, Li Ruo became somewhat anxious.

  "Where has Father gone? If anything happens to Father, I, Li Ruo Nan, swear that the Gong Sun family will never know peace again."
