Chapter 86: The Yu Family's Sudden Change

  Li Ruo stood behind, turned his head solemnly towards Fang Ziyuan, and both nodded simultaneously.

  Those five hunters' vital energy was ignited, and each of their strengths was above the eighth level of Jingyuan. Their longbows were powerful, and those strong men with third or fourth level Jingyuan strength were instantly killed by their arrows.

  "This is where the strong man appeared, so fierce and cruel, looking at their anxious appearance, are they chasing the blood fox?"

  Li Ruo and Fang Ziyan exchanged a smile, feeling that this matter was quite astonishing, but they didn't think too much about it. The other party's strength was of no concern to them; they hadn't put their minds to it at all.

  It was just a small matter on the way, and it didn't affect Li Ruo's and Knife Two's mood of hurrying along. From the rocky slope, crossing over really shortened their journey by a lot. The two people's footsteps were light and quick, and after another half day of walking, they walked out of the dense mountains. In front of them, a majestic city was in sight, which was Lin Feng City.

  Although Li didn't come to this big city often, because his younger brother was there, he suddenly felt a sense of returning home. He quickened his pace and walked for another half an hour before arriving at the foot of the city wall. People were busy buying and selling goods, pushing carts and leading horses, holding knives and guns, and the city gate was bustling with people coming and going.

  Li Ruo Dao and Fang Zi Yan blended into the crowd and squeezed into the city. Several brightly dressed city guards casually interrogated them for a few sentences before letting them pass, unaware that a superior being who was only one step away from breaking through the shackles of heaven and earth, capable of flying and escaping, was smiling as he entered the city right in front of them.

  Standing on the bustling streets of Lin Feng City, Fang Ziyuan turned his head to look at Li Rengdao: "Rengdao, I urgently need a piece of Xuan Iron in my alchemy, but it's not available in Xuanyuan Mountain. I thought of Old Friend Lin Feng City Master and came here to take a look. We'll probably only stay for a few days before returning. Let's part ways for now, and when we return, I won't wait for you."

  He said, shaking his hand to take out two grayish-gray talismans, and handed one of them to Li Ruo Dao: "This is a transmission talisman. If you have an urgent matter, store your mind in the talisman and leave a message for me. Use your vital energy to ignite it, and this spiritual talisman in my hand will receive it. Be careful here in Linfeng City, and return to the mountain as soon as you've finished your business."

  Li Ran nodded vigorously with his knife.

  This Fang Shixiong didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance of a superior immortal, just like an amiable elder, being extremely careful with himself. These past few days, Li Ruo had long since stopped being restrained and casually asked: "Shixiong, can you refine equipment?"

  Fang Ziyuan smiled: "In the future, the path of cultivation will rely on oneself, so one person must learn a little bit of everything. I prefer to refine instruments, and study more in this area. Burning Knife, you should also do the same. After you enter the Divine Movement stage, when you have demands for spiritual instruments, you will also need to learn about these things."

  Li Ran Dao naturally knew this, in the cultivation world, there were indeed some higher-ranking alchemy masters, but if you asked them to refine equipment for you, the price would be too high for people to bear, and on the path of cultivation for a lifetime, one still had to rely on oneself.

  Fang Ziyuan continued with a smile: "However, if you enter the Divine Movement period, Master will help you tailor-make a spiritual instrument to congratulate you."

  Li Ranno smiled and nodded: "Thank you, senior brother. I have studied the spiritual medicine pill technique more thoroughly. In the future, if senior brother needs it, Li Ranno will do his best to help."

  Fang Ziyuan's eyes lit up, looking at Li Ruo's confident expression, feeling amused. Such a junior brother who had just entered the mountain gate dared to mention Dan medicine in front of himself who had been practicing for so long, was he an heir to the ancestral legacy? Smiling and nodding: "I also have some knowledge of Dan medicine, we can discuss it together later. Ruo Knife, I'm going this way, farewell."

  Two people parted ways at a fork in the road, and Li Ran went straight to the main street, his heart burning with excitement, his feet moving faster and faster. He arrived at the west of the city and once again found that somewhat secluded alley, and from there he could see his younger brother in the courtyard ahead. How could he not be excited? He quickened his pace, but suddenly stopped dead in his tracks.

  The gate of Yu Shu's house was shattered, as if someone had punched it open, with splintered wood flying everywhere. In the small courtyard, a sorrowful cry echoed out, and a few streaks of blood and scratches stretched from the yard to the alley.

  Several neighbors poked their heads in and looked around the yard with sad faces, pointing and discussing.

  Li Ruo's eyes widened in shock, his heart almost leaping out: "What happened to my brother? What's going on? My brother won't be in any danger, will he... Is it all futile, no matter how hard I try to change the fate of our past lives?"

  Thinking of his younger brother's tragic death in his past life, Li Ruo's heart was about to palpitate with fright. He took a big stride and stepped into the small courtyard of the Yu family, where he saw Aunt Yu with her hair disheveled and covered in bloodstains, sitting in the courtyard and wailing loudly.

  Li Ran's palms were sweating profusely as he hastily stepped forward and jumped to Yu Shu's side: "Aunt, what's wrong?"

  The woman's still somewhat delicate face had five dark purple fingerprints on it, and there were bloodstains at the corners of her mouth. In the midst of crying sorrowfully, she heard a calling voice and was startled into lifting her head, saw that it was Li Nian, and couldn't help but cry again:

  "Ran Jian, your uncle has been taken away by someone. They say that your uncle drank the blood of a fox spirit and now they want to let his blood out. Waaah, heaven, is there no justice? How can I live like this?"

  "Blood Fox?"

  Li Ruo's knife froze, inside the house, several children heard movement outside and cautiously poked their heads out. Li Xiao Xu suddenly saw his brother and shouted as he ran out: "Brother..."

  Li Ran's eyes widened as he saw his little brother, and he was both shocked and delighted. He hastily opened his arms to hug his brother tightly, only to see that his little face was covered in mud and two tear streaks made him look like a small flower cat.

  His younger brother was fine, and Li Ran immediately put down more than half of his heart.

  Little brother with a wronged expression buried his face in big brother's chest and recounted the bitterness: "Big brother, those bad people took second father away, waaah... Second father was also beaten by them until he was covered in blood..."

  "Uncle..."

  Li Rendao was taken aback, and then suddenly understood. It turned out that in the past half year, Uncle Yu's family had been very good to his younger brother, even taking him in as a foster son. Thinking of this, Li Rendao felt an inexplicable sense of gratitude, and his passion ignited instantly.

  What's the difference between his brother's adoptive father and his own? When he was in dire straits, Uncle Yi's family was willing to help him, and Li Ran felt a deep sense of gratitude for this kindness.

  Li Ruo's eyes flashed with a sharp, knife-like glint as he gently released his brother and walked over to Yu Shu's side. He slowly helped the aunt up and said, "Auntie, tell me in detail what exactly happened."

  Li Ruo's face was solemn, his voice had an unquestionable power, as if he could take charge of everything under the sky. The woman in distress seemed to find her backbone all at once, and she stopped crying, looked up at Li Ruo with a shocked expression. There stood this young man, with an aura that was as calm and majestic as Mount Tai, which didn't seem like something a young and inexperienced youth would possess.

  The woman's heart was filled with sorrow, as if she had fallen into a deep abyss. She trembled and spoke again: "You Shu just returned from hunting and told me that they had obtained a great opportunity. They said that their team had accidentally hunted down a blood fox, and legend has it that drinking the blood of the blood fox can ward off all poisons."

  At that time, the blood fox was shot with an arrow and had just died. They were afraid that the blood would lose its effect, so several hunters rushed to drink the blood of the blood fox. You Yu's uncle even said regretfully that he couldn't bring some back for me to drink too. Who would have thought, who would have thought, before he could finish speaking, a group of bad people burst in and, without saying a word, beat You Yu's uncle severely and took him away...

  The woman burst into tears again.

  Li Ruo heard this and suddenly thought of the five people he met at Luanshi Slope, who were in a hurry to chase after something. Could it be...

  The woman continued to sob: "Those people said that they would cut Uncle Yu's wrist and bleed him, letting out all the blood of the fox spirit."

  Li Ran's anger suddenly surged to his head, and he bled the person alive to compensate for the blood of the Blood Fox. What kind of person is so overbearing? Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he asked in a low voice: "Aunt, who are those people?"

  The woman wailed again: "It's the City West Mansion, it's the City West Mansion that took your uncle away. The City West Mansion has the power to cover the sky, and we can't even find a place to appeal for justice. Passersby immortals, please help my family!"

  Li Ran's eyes and eyebrows were tightly locked together as he listened to this point.

  Chengxi Fu is actually a separate residence of the City Master's Mansion, and it turns out that it involves the City Master of Linfeng City? However, regarding Uncle Shi's life or death, Li Ran simply doesn't care.

  Li Ranno helped his aunt up and said in a calm, unquestionable tone: "Auntie, go inside the house, take care of the kids, no one is allowed to leave the house until I get back!"

  "You..."

  The woman was stunned, her face incredulous as she raised her head, tightly grasping Li Ruo's arm: "Ruo, what are you doing? Don't be foolish, the power of the Western City is not something we common people can contend with."

  Li Ran's sword was cold and smiling, a murderous intent had already deeply merged into his heart.

  In his past life, he was weak and powerless, watching as his loved ones died one by one before his eyes, his heart had been suppressed to a certain extent. If a person doesn't explode in repression, they will die in repression. Li Ran Jian has died once, this life he starts anew, he vows that the tragic scene will not happen again before his eyes, he vows to defy heaven and change his fate, trampling all the misfortunes and injustices underfoot.

  The loved one is the reverse scale in Li Nian's heart. In this life, his loved ones include Yu Shu.

  With a slight shrug, Li Rengdang broke free from Aunt Yu's grasp and strode out the door. The neighbors surrounding the entrance scattered in fright, watching as Li Rengdang walked swiftly away along the alley. As he disappeared into the distance, the crowd slowly gathered again, pointing and whispering to each other about Li Rengdang's retreating figure. Aunt Yu, both startled and frightened, called out loudly from behind: "Rengdang, come back!"
