"Li Yunjing! Li Yunjing! If you werenât a True Disciple of the âShenxiao Dao Sect,â I wouldnât have hesitated to act directly. Why bother with all this trouble?"
On the way back, the yellow-robed patriarchâs gaze was grim, filled with murderous intent.
On the other side, Li Yunjing was still categorizing and storing treasures. He never expected that this mission would bring him immense trouble.
Half a day passed, and the âCyan Cloud Shipâ had already arrived at the eastern part of the Great Ming Dynasty.
Arriving here, they were less than a thousand miles away from Yingtian Prefecture.
The mortal cities passed by one by one. Many towns, Li Yunjing had traversed during his travels in the Great Ming Dynasty.
His gaze fell upon a small town below, and Li Yunjingâs eyes lit up. Reflecting on the past, this was where he had risen!
Six years ago, Li Yunjing had accidentally obtained a âQi Cultivation Techniqueâ from a beggar in the small town of Pinggang below. This incident had set him on his path to seek immortality.
Recalling the past, every detail was vivid in his memory.
Li Yunjing pondered for a moment, realizing he still had time. He retrieved the âCyan Cloud Shipâ and descended to Pinggang Town.
In six years, the town remained unchanged, and some of the townspeople still vaguely reminded Li Yunjing of earlier impressions.
"Huh?"
Walking through the town, Li Yunjing sensed something amiss.
There seemed to be an array around the town?
Could it be that getting the âQi Cultivation Techniqueâ back then was not incidental?
Or did the town have some real connection to the Immortal Cultivation Realm?
At this moment, Li Yunjingâs aura was perfectly restrained, appearing no different from a mortal. His âGreat Sun Daoist Robeâ from the Profound Sect also changed to resemble an ordinary grey robe worn by mortals.
Without revealing any Divine Techniques, Li Yunjingâs steps remained swift, unnoticed by the surrounding mortals. He had already traversed the town north to south, east to west.
"Thereâs a cultivator presence!"
After surveying the town, Li Yunjing finally sensed something unusual.
His Divine Sense swept across, discovering dozens of Qi Refining Realm cultivators!
These cultivators seemed to belong to the same faction, mingling among the crowds, traversing the town, perhaps probing for something.
Li Yunjing followed a young cultivator into an alley.
Seeing no one else around the alley, Li Yunjing moved swiftly behind the person, extended his hand, and subdued him, pressing his thumb against the individualâs forehead.
The person instantly fell unconscious!
Li Yunjing first searched the personâs storage bag but found nothing valuable aside from some shabby items.
Li Yunjingâs gaze became sharp, and a blue light shot from the red mark on his forehead, entering the personâs mind.
"Ah..."
Despite being unconscious, the person seemed to be in pain, unconsciously moaning.
Li Yunjing, stone-faced, coldly cast the spell. After a while, the red mark gradually lightened and eventually disappeared.
Surprised, Li Yunjing revealed a hint of astonishment!
Unexpectedly, there were such secrets in Pinggang Town?
From his soul search, Li Yunjing learned that Pinggang Town was once the domain of a Cultivation Clan, which had declined, leaving few descendants.
These people gathered here because they had learned that a Foundation Establishment Realm clan resided in Pinggang Town, and supposedly some of this clanâs inheritance remained.
For loose cultivators, a complete inheritance was immensely beneficial and valuable!
Especially since this Cultivation Clan lacked excellent descendants, causing the lineage to break. It was akin to a tiger without teeth, easy prey for looters looking to seize the clanâs treasures.
Therefore, these loose cultivators gathered to explore secrets, seeking the ancestral residence of the Li Family in the Cultivation Clan.
"Li? Sharing my surname? I obtained the Li familyâs inheritance in this town and thus embarked on the Immortal Dao?"
At this thought, Li Yunjing felt a surge of emotion, as if destiny had a hand in it?
With the cycle of cause and effect, the Li Family encountered catastrophe, was it his turn to rescue them?
Li Yunjing decided to help, at least saving the Li Family to repay the karmic debt and ease his mind.
"Sizzle!"
Having made up his mind, Li Yunjing pointed his finger, and a flash of fire burned on the unconscious loose cultivator on the ground, reducing the body to ashes, dissipating as smoke in the wind.
After killing a loose cultivator, Li Yunjing picked up the storage bag, and his form, like blue smoke, swiftly moved through the town, eliminating one unscrupulous loose cultivator after another silently.
"Unexpectedly, thereâs a high-level Foundation Establishment cultivator here?"
As Li Yunjing eliminated a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, a Foundation Establishment Realm loose cultivator appeared beside him.
"A Foundation Establishment Realm loose cultivator?"
Li Yunjing curiously looked at the middle-aged Daoist in front of him, surprised that someone of this level appeared for the Li Familyâs inheritance. Was there another hidden secret?
"Daoist friend, where do you come from? Why slaughter fellow Daoists? Are you not afraid of disrupting the heavenly harmony?"
The middle-aged Daoist coldly questioned.
"Hehe! You covet othersâ belongings without disrupting heavenly harmony? Yet you dare question me?"
Li Yunjing sneered coldly, witnessing a thief calling for others to catch the thief; it was laughable.
"So, you are standing up for the Li family?"
The middle-aged Daoistâs gaze turned icy, scrutinizing Li Yunjing, hesitating whether to act.
