Chapter 55 The Liu Family Leverages Power, Dao 1 Displays His Intimidation
The young Taoist nodded: "It's probably here. I wonder if you could point me in the right direction? I would be very grateful."
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of pills: "This is a top-grade Spirit Nourishing Pill, which is very beneficial for increasing spiritual awareness. I am willing to offer this pill as payment. What do you say, fellow Daoist?"
Chen Chunan looked at the Spirit Nourishing Pill with indifferent eyes. He cultivated his inner core and did not need to burn thatch or gather herbs. Although the Spirit Nourishing Pill was good, it was useless to him.
Besides, I'm in such a hurry to get revenge, how could I have time to lead the way?
If Chen Chunan hadn't been unable to discern the young Taoist's true abilities, why would he have bothered with him?
However, this entanglement was not without its gains, and it didn't count as a delay.
"Thank you for your kind offer, fellow Daoist. However, I have urgent matters to attend to and cannot accompany you any longer. Farewell!"
Before the young Taoist could speak again, Chen Chunan turned his sword and headed straight for Dragon Head Mountain.
Although Liu Ruyan escaped using a teleportation talisman, in reality, her own home was definitely the safest place.
She's probably already home by now; we can't let her run away again this time!
The young Taoist priest looked at Chen Chunan's retreating figure, opened his mouth as if to speak, but didn't know where to begin.
He could only shake his head and say, "What a strange person. This Spirit Nourishing Pill is effective even for Golden Core cultivators, and it's a divine medicine for Foundation Establishment cultivators. Although I can't see through this person, I'm certain he's not even at the Golden Core stage, yet he treats the Spirit Nourishing Pill like dirt. Strange person! Strange cultivation! And that sword pellet is strange too!"
Just as he was about to go find another local strongman, he heard a whooshing sound and a burst of intense heat from the sun enveloping him.
The young Taoist's expression changed drastically: "Oh no! That demoness has caught up with us again!"
Just as he set up his escape light, his path was blocked.
"Where is Zhuge brother going? He didn't even take his sister with him."
As she spoke, her delicate hands began to act mischievously, pinching and pulling the little Taoist boy's cheeks back and forth.
The young Taoist was filled with shame and indignation. He slapped away the jade hand that was playing tricks on his face and scolded, "Xue Hongshang, how dare you! I am your grand-uncle!"
Just you wait, I'll get you on the ground and spank you sooner or later, so you'll know I'm not someone to mess with!
Although he had this thought, he dared not say it aloud, for fear that the witch would become even more wicked.
"Tch~ You're not even from my Chaoyang Sect, so what kind of grandmaster are you? Although you've taken Venerable Xuanming as your master, your cultivation hasn't even reached the Golden Core stage yet, you're not even as good as me. Besides, I'm older than you, we should be equals!"
The young Taoist boy puffed out his cheeks: "I dare to call you 'Senior Sister,' but do you dare to call me 'Master' or 'Uncle-Master'?"
Xue Hongshang's expression froze; she really didn't dare.
But he still tried to salvage the situation by saying, "If we can't just discuss our own points, that's fine too."
The young Taoist scoffed, "Xue Hongshang, my master said that this time everyone must rely on their own abilities. Don't even think about asking me to help you!"
Xue Hongshang reached out and pinched the little Taoist boy's cheek again: "Oh dear, little Zhuge, you're really naive. You don't actually think everyone will rely on their own abilities, do you? It's the norm to unite and eliminate dissidents. Although you possess the Heavenly Secrets Divine Art, your cultivation level is the lowest, and you're not good at fighting. Even if you know where the remnant soul of the True Dragon is, so what? Can you win the battle?"
Although Xiao Dao was young, he was not stupid and naturally understood that what Xue Hongshang said made sense.
But you, Xue Hongshang, are so kind?
If it really comes down to just the two of us in the end, you'll probably just grab it and run, since I can't beat you anyway.
Seeing that Xue Hongshang seemed to have him cornered, the young Taoist priest feigned compliance and said, "An alliance is possible, but if we obtain the remnant soul of the true dragon, how will we divide it?"
...
Liu Family Main Residence
The person sitting in the main seat was no longer Liu Qingyang, but the mysterious cultivator.
He picked up the fragrant tea that Liu Ruyan had offered, took a small sip, and then frowned as he put it down.
"Alright, I'll ask the questions, and you'll answer!"
Liu Qingyang, who was standing below, was covered in cold sweat and did not dare to wipe it away. He quickly bowed and said, "I will definitely tell you everything I know."
...
After bidding farewell to the young Taoist, Chen Chunan arrived at Dragon Head Mountain in less than a quarter of an hour, riding on his sword.
As soon as he opened his divine sense, he heard a cold snort.
Immediately, a massive divine sense pierced through.
Chen Chunan's expression changed slightly, his eyes sharpened, and he concentrated his divine sense to smash into it fiercely.
The owner of that consciousness let out a muffled groan, realizing he had suffered a great loss.
Everyone inside the house turned to look.
The person seated in the main seat was quite surprised: "This young man named Chen Chunan's spiritual attack was actually able to injure the ghost slave? Interesting!"
Liu Ruyan knew that it was Chen Chunan who had come, and she felt relieved. Although the person in front of her had never told her about his background or name.
But she was always quick-witted, and from a few words, she knew that this person was a true disciple of some sect in the Central Region.
Although I don't know his strength, killing Chen Chunan should be a piece of cake.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan's face showed a look of satisfaction.
The ghost servant, having suffered a silent loss, was somewhat embarrassed: "Master! This ghost servant requests permission to capture this person and hand him over to you for punishment!"
"Ha, accurate!"
The ghost servant respectfully replied "Yes," then grinned maliciously and stepped out of the house.
He then summoned a small banner, on which was painted a blood-red demon.
"Hehehe~ Junior! Become the provisions for my Heavenly Demon Blood Banner!" After saying this, he stepped into the banner.
After he took control, the banner multiplied into two, then into three, and finally into the Eight Gates Array Banner, surrounding Chen Chunan in the center.
Then, one after another, blood-red demons emerged from the blood-red banners, and the stench of blood instantly enveloped Chen Chunan.
The master looked at the evil spirit with disgust: "Why didn't you find a sword to combine with the perfectly good Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Light? Instead, you chose to merge with an evil spirit. What a waste!"
Chen Chunan smelled the blood on the evil spirit and instantly felt dizzy.
He tried to dispel the poison by circulating his spiritual energy, but found that his spiritual power was completely ineffective against it. Instead, the blood-red poison continued to devour and strengthen itself.
Seeing that Chen Chunan had actually absorbed the Blood Transformation Divine Light, the ghost servant couldn't help but cackle strangely:
"You're just a cultivator from the desolate region, never having seen a true treasure. I, this evil spirit, have obtained the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Light; that bloody aura is actually formed from the Blood Transformation Light itself. You dared to inhale it directly; you deserve to become sustenance for me, this evil spirit!"
Seeing Chen Chunan enveloped in blood, the ghost servant had a thought, and eight evil spirits emerged from the eight blood banners, rushing towards Chen Chunan.
Without further hesitation, Chen Chunan activated the Yellow Sprout Rejuvenating Pill planted in the earthen cauldron of the Li Palace, instantly generating a wisp of elixir energy.
The elixir energy instantly travels throughout the body's acupoints; this pure yang elixir energy extinguishes the poison of yin evil, like boiling water splashed with snow.
It was completely dissolved in an instant.
When he looked up again, the group of blood-red demons was already in front of him.
Since Chen Chunan decided to use his inner energy, he was naturally determined to kill.
With the help of the elixir energy, the two flying swords instantly increased their sword light several times over.
Chen Chunan merged with the sword light, annihilating all the evil spirits in front of him, and then went straight for the blood banner in the Kun position.
This person believed that the banner transformed into an array, manifesting in countless forms, and that he could not distinguish the real from the fake.
Little did they know that in front of their own pure Yang Qi, the True Banner of the Eye was as dazzling as a bright lamp in the dark night.
With a swift twist of the two swords, the blood banner shattered, and a beam of spiritual light shot out.
Chen Chunan realized he had failed to kill the person and was startled, releasing his divine sense.
Only then did they realize that this person had reappeared from the main residence of the Liu family, accompanied by nine others whose auras were similar to his.
Chen Chunan couldn't see through the aura of the person who was clearly the master.
After surviving, the ghost servant clutched his chest and lamented, "Fortunately, my Blood Banner once stole a wisp of resurrection energy from the Blood Sea. By merging my body with the banner, even in death, I can be resurrected!"
The other three servants mocked, "Ghost slave, our master told us long ago to stop using those unorthodox methods. Now you almost died trying to deal with a junior. It's truly shameful."
The master, however, paid no attention. Instead, he looked intently at Chen Chunan: "You are a talent. To cultivate to this level with five spiritual roots in such a desolate place! I will give you a chance. Join my ranks, and I will guarantee you will reach the Golden Core stage!"
