————————————————————————————————————————
Qingshi Gorge is an extremely ordinary canyon. It is hidden deep in the mountains and is very secluded.
In the canyon, on the mountain col that is several miles in size, there is a manor. This is where the Ruan family lives. Similar to many families with immortal inheritance, the Ruan family lives deep in the mountains, living a carefree life without any worries about the world.
However, when the monks in the clan travel or travel between immortal houses, they will inevitably get involved in disputes. And these monks from the family have their own way of conducting themselves in the world, and they can move forward and retreat without hindrance when encountering accidents.
But one family can support all kinds of people, and it is inevitable that the good and the bad among the monks will be mixed. If not, how could there be unscrupulous casual practitioners wandering around!
Those monks who come from families and immortal sects are supported by their elders, and have ready-made techniques and spiritual stones to serve them, so they can practice with peace of mind. However, as casual cultivators come from humble backgrounds and have no one to rely on, their journey to immortality is doubly difficult.
As a result, casual cultivators often gather together to form a group and do some unscrupulous activities, and use the gains to make cultivation easier. Perhaps there was some resentment in their hearts, and this group of people had a natural hostility towards the family and the Xiaoxian Sect. They bumped into each other, quarrels broke out from time to time, and they might even get into fights.
Boss Hu, one of the group of casual cultivators, happened to be caught by an elder when he was bullying the children of the Ruan family. Unfortunately for this man, he was killed by the opponent in a provocation.
From this, Boss Hu is not happy! It's not easy for casual cultivators to get together. We are all hard-working people, so we can't let others bully us at will, otherwise we won't be able to survive in the future. After many inquiries, he learned that the Ruan family's location was very remote and that there were only three or two Jindan monks. He was so courageous that he wanted to unleash a thunderous wrath and take the opportunity to level his opponents and make a fortune!
The above is the origin of the feud between Boss Hu and his gang and the Ruan family. There was no need for Lin Yi to ask anything, Jiazi Dao, who was wary of him slipping away halfway, told him himself.
Jiazidao has a cultivation level in the late stage of foundation building. He has a wretched appearance and is completely disliked by others, but he always pretends to be reserved to show his importance. However, between his words and deeds, he and Boss Hu had quite a tacit understanding. It can be seen that while he is pretending to be stupid, he also has his own cunning tricks.
"Boy, the manor in front is the Ruan family!" Jiazi Dao, who was at the end, followed up and gestured with his finger: "You are so lucky! You just joined here and you can catch such a deal... I’m talking to you, do you hear me?”
Seeing Lin Yi, who had just joined the group, looking around with disapproval on his face, Jiazhidao wanted to scold him. The other party turned to look at him lightly and said, "You...just call me by my first name!"
Along the way, Jiazhidao showed off his knowledge for a while and boasted about his abilities. Unexpectedly, he did not gain the other party's fear and respect. His little eyes widened and he scolded: "Boy, I know your name is Lin Yi. I just like to call you boy, why not? You were not even born when person A debuted, so you can't be with me. Long-winded..."
There were a total of twenty-seven casual cultivators on this trip. After they rushed to Qingshi Gorge, there were lights flashing around the manor on the mountain. It must be that the Ruan family was aware of the invading enemy. At the same time, three monks rose into the air to greet him.
Seeing that one of the visitors, a woman in the early stage of Jindan, looked very familiar, Lin Yi couldn't help but shook his head, thinking, how could such a coincidence happen! The chatter in his ears continued. He frowned slightly, his expression turned cold, and said: "Misfortune comes from the mouth! Don't regret it until it's too late!"
Jiazhidao was startled, and then showed an angry expression. If you can't intimidate a new young man who joins the gang, where will he put his face? Just as he was about to have an attack, his heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and an inexplicable fear suddenly struck him, making him shudder.
This is... Jiazidao shook his head violently as if he was suffering from hysteria. It took him a while to come back to his senses, his heart pounding loudly. Recalling the shock caused by the slight snort just now, he stared blankly at Lin Yi who was leaving. He couldn't help but blink his eyelids quickly and looked back behind him with a guilty conscience.
The incident happened suddenly, and the Ruan family saw the opportunity and took contingency measures, while Boss Hu and his group gathered around without caring.
Boss Hu himself used his spiritual consciousness to look around. He didn't see any help invited by the other party, and his last scruples disappeared immediately. Just relying on these three golden elixir monks to keep the Ruan family is a fool’s errand!
The Ruan family is located alone on a mountain col. The manor within a mile or two is protected by the formation, but from a distance, busy and panicked figures can be seen among them, including monks and ordinary people in the clan. A sudden disaster from heaven forced the monks of the Ruan family, who had the highest level of cultivation among the three clans, to step forward for the safety of their clan members. The leader is an old man with a cultivation level in the middle stage of the Golden Core. The wrinkles on his face are like knife carvings and his expression is majestic. Followed by a middle-aged man and a young woman, both of whom were in the early stages of Jindan cultivation, both had stern faces.
Suddenly, being bullied by so many casual cultivators really caught the Ruan family off guard. But Qingshi Gorge is located in a remote area, so even if he sends a message to a good family asking for help, it will be too late. It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided. As a last resort, the Ruan family can only rely on formations and their own methods to deal with the enemy. And in the end, only God knows whether it was a false alarm or whether it was difficult to escape the fate of the whole family being destroyed!
"I am Ruan Zhiguang, the head of the Ruan family. I am here with my cousin Ruan Zhian and nephew Ruan Qingyu to meet you fellow Taoists! May I ask, you and I are both cultivators, why are we so aggressive..." The old man of the Ruan family stepped forward on the flying sword, bowed his hands to show courtesy, and asked in a deep voice. The two people behind him were alert, not daring to be careless. The pretty woman in plain clothes frowned, her eyes swept over the group of people with ill intentions dozens of feet away.
Boss Hu looked back to his left and right, proudly puffed out his chest, and looked arrogant. Seven Jindan cultivators stood side by side, and more than twenty foundation-building cultivators were murderous. This scene was quite impressive! He turned to Ruan Zhiguang and grinned, "I have a brother who was killed by your Ruan Qingyu! This is a life-and-death feud, and I, Hu, will come to ask for punishment..."
"Please be clear, fellow Daoist Hu! The person Qingyu killed was a criminal..." Ruan Zhiguang wanted to argue with reason, but was interrupted by Hu Laoda's arrogant wave of his arm, staring and shouting, "Don't talk nonsense! My brother is either a kind man or a righteous man, how can you insult me like this? Let me make it clear today, the Ruan family has offended me, Hu Laoda, and it is fate! You have only two ways to go..."
Ruan Zhiguang was so angry at Hu Laoda's shameless words that his beard trembled, his face turned black, and he couldn't speak for a while. Ruan Zhian behind him was also full of anger, but it was really hard to resist when he met this group of strong men. If they really started fighting, the three of them would definitely not be able to stop this group of fierce casual cultivators. And the other party's intentions were obvious, and the Ruan family was in danger today!
At this time, Ruan Qingyu ignored Boss Hu's unreasonable arguments, but his eyes fell on one of the casual cultivators, with a look of astonishment! Soon, the other person's mouth corners raised, and he smiled lightly. Seeing this, she suddenly became uneasy and said in a lost voice: "Senior..."
"Don't try to get close to me! It's useless even if you call me your real father!" Boss Hu thought that Ruan Qingyu was begging for mercy, and waved his hand and said viciously: "The Ruan family has only two ways to go! Either the whole family surrenders, or the family is exterminated! You might as well think about it. After one stick of incense... no! After half an incense stick, life and death will be decided immediately..."
Faced with such bullying, Ruan Zhi threw his wide robe sleeves and angrily scolded: "Hmph! My Ruan family is weak, but it is not a place for me to ask for anything!" He changed his words and said in a deep voice with a bit of pain: "Qingyu, begging for mercy from the thieves is just humiliating yourself..."
Ruan Qingyu looked embarrassed and hurriedly said: "Uncle! My nephew is not a coward, but that senior..." At this point, she didn't know what to do, but still stared at the man. However, the woman's puzzled look was mixed with a bit of expectation.
This scene made both the enemy and us aware of the abnormality, and they couldn't help but follow Ruan Qingyu's eyes. It was a young man in a gray robe, with a wine gourd tied around his waist, standing behind a group of casual cultivators with a flying sword. He folded his hands behind his back, with a peaceful and leisurely look, which was very different from the fierce and evil people on his left and right.
"Qingyu! Do you know that man? He is just a young man who has gone astray..." Ruan Zhiguang shook his head and sighed. When a disaster is approaching, it is inevitable that people will lose their minds! It's a pity that Qingyu, who is cautious and steady by nature, has become like this...
Ruan Qingyu bit his lips secretly, his expression hesitant! He would not admit his mistake, the foundation-building cultivator was the one who saved his life! Didn't he conceal his cultivation before? But how could he be mixed with this group of casual cultivators?
Lin Yi, who was being watched by everyone, did not change his expression, but a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It was really a coincidence to meet Ruan Qingyu again. I wanted to wait and see what was going on before I took action, but now I couldn't hide any longer.
"Boy! You are..." Boss Hu was shocked, and he and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, and then he burst into laughter. He laughed and scolded: "I didn't expect you to have the ability to pretend to be a senior! Haha..."
Amid the other party's playful laughter, Ruan Qingyu's eyes suddenly lit up. She no longer hesitated, stepped forward with a resolute look, and said with a bow: "Friend Lin, I was saved by you back then, but I didn't have time to thank you. Please accept Qingyu's gift!" Ignoring the surprise of Ruan Zhiguang and Ruan Zhian, she bowed solemnly to Lin Yi!
"Haha! Boy, there are people coming to worship... Eh?" Boss Hu's laughter froze, and he asked in confusion: "How does she know your last name is Lin..." His eyes rolled, and he turned around and shouted: "Jia Zidao, I asked you to watch this boy, why the hell are you hiding behind alone..."
Jia Zidao was originally on guard against someone escaping from the battlefield, but now he is hiding behind the crowd alone, looking like he is about to turn around and run away at any time. He shivered in fear when Boss Hu shouted, and hurriedly wanted to respond, but heard someone sneer: "Why ask more questions, he is afraid of death..."
