Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family - Chapter 285
Chapter 285: Chapter 137: Foundation Establishment Ambush, Treasure Bones Emerge!_1
The vast clear sky was a washed azure blue.
A black Iron Feather Eagle and a majestic Immortal Crane with pure white feathers were soaring swiftly through the air.
On the backs of the Iron Feather Eagle and the Immortal Crane, there stood a handsome young man with a stalwart figure, and a cold-faced, tall, and graceful woman.
It was Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue who had departed from Ruyi County City and were heading towards the Red Leaf Valley Market.
Lu Changsheng, utterly bored, watched Xiao Xiyue atop the crane; her tall and graceful figure draped in a moon-white dress, standing there like an ethereal fairy.
Her cool and detached visage bore the pure aura of the bright moon in the sky, exuding an air of immortality.
Beneath the caress of the wind, her long black hair and the hem of her dress fluttered, occasionally revealing a small section of her fair and round jade-like legs.
This sight involuntarily caused Lu Changsheng to think back to the moments of her cultivation over the past several days.
“Indeed, to hold an esteemed and inviolable fairy beneath oneself and indulge as one pleases is the deepest desire hidden in the heart of every man,”
Lu Changsheng thought to himself, exhaling lightly to suppress the restlessness within his heart.
For Xiao Xiyue, these days were for cultivation.
For him, they were likewise a form of cultivation.
“Fellow Daoist Xiao, in about two days, we should reach the Red Leaf Valley Market,”
seeing a landmark range of mountains and having a rough idea of their location, Lu Changsheng sent a message to Xiao Xiyue.
“Good,”
Xiao Xiyue replied.
Whether she was in the state of cultivation or not, she was usually not very talkative, somewhat reticent.
However, if a topic was brought up to her, Xiao Xiyue would always respond.
Like during these days, Lu Changsheng had asked Xiao Xiyue numerous questions.
Even to some of the more personal questions, she would answer.
The Iron Feather Eagle and the Immortal Crane continued to glide rapidly through the air.
Just then,
“Be careful!”
Xiao Xiyue suddenly exclaimed.
She abruptly turned her gaze to the right where an ancient qin appeared in her hands.
“Hmm!?”
Alerted by her exclamation, Lu Changsheng quickly turned and looked in the same direction.
He immediately saw a stream of rainbow light slashing through the sky far away, speeding directly toward them.
“The little girl is not simple, indeed, to have detected my presence. Truly worthy of being a disciple of Caiyun True Immortal,”
In the next moment, the rainbow light appeared mere zhangs away from the two.
A man in his late twenties, with a sinister, effeminate face and dressed in a crimson brocade robe, materialized.
Standing on a black cloud, he radiated a powerful aura of spirit pressure.
It caused Lu Changsheng’s Iron Feather Eagle below him to flap its wings frantically and shiver in fear.
“A Foundation Establishment Cultivator!”
Lu Changsheng’s pupils shrank, and his gaze narrowed slightly.
From the man’s speed and the spirit pressure he emitted, Lu Changsheng immediately knew he was faced with a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
And from the look of it, this Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator bore no good intentions.
“Senior recognizes my master, is there something you require?”
Xiao Xiyue looked toward the young man and spoke.
Her fair hand rested on the qin, poised and ready to strike, clearly perceiving the ill intentions of their adversary.
“I am here for you this time; as for the reason, you shall know in a moment,”
the man in the crimson robe spoke as he stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes revealing a glint of dark red light.
As soon as he finished speaking, a mass of dark red murderous aura appeared beside him, transforming into the head of a ferocious python and roaring as it lunged toward Xiao Xiyue.
“Clang!”
Xiao Xiyue, prepared for such an event, plucked a string on the qin, and a resonant sound arose, followed by a gust of wind.
It was clear to see ripples of sound waves emanating from Xiao Xiyue at the center, rolling out like a series of circular blades and crushing the murderous python with their force.
But the next moment, the shattered murderous python, like mist, reassembled and continued its ferocious onslaught.
Realizing the situation, Xiao Xiyue understood that this Foundation Building Great Cultivator was an enemy, not a friend.
Even with her exceptional talent, she stood no chance against a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
Especially since this Great Cultivator was evidently no ordinary one.
Immediately, she took out a second-rank, ice-blue talisman from her storage bag and activated it swiftly.
A terrible frost and cold wind arose as if intending to freeze the heavens and earth, aiming to encase the murderous python in ice and form a giant wall of ice.
“Go!”
Xiao Xiyue didn’t linger, immediately shouting to Lu Changsheng.
Without hesitation, she retracted the Immortal Crane into her Spiritual Pet Bag and conjured a cloud veil.
Her graceful figure in white dress alighted on the cloud veil, reached out to Lu Changsheng beside her, and brought him onto the cloud veil. Together, they turned into a beam of escape light, attempting to flee.
“You think you can escape?”
The man in the crimson robe watched this unfold, his lips curling up in a slight smile, his voice filled with contempt and disdain.
He, a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, set on interdicting a mere Qi Refinement minor, couldn’t possibly let them get away.
Even with the addition of Lu Changsheng, it only meant another Qi Refinement cultivator, hardly worth his concern.
“Scowl!”
The man in the crimson robe formed hand seals and shouted coldly.
Suddenly, his life-bound spiritual artifact, the ‘Red Phoenix Pearl,’ flew out from his dantian and hovered above his head, radiating a red glow.
A beam of light shot out, casting a red glow that caused the figure of Xiao Xiyue, maneuvering the cloud veil to escape, to stiffen abruptly.
Immediately after, a chilling white flying sword appeared out of nowhere, its sword qi roiling and sharpness menacing, making a beeline for Xiao Xiyue.
“Not good!”
Realizing the imminent threat of the flying sword, Xiao Xiyue knew escape was likely impossible.
Quickly, she slapped her storage bag and summoned a five-colored tortoise shell.
The tortoise shell shot into the air, unfolding a five-colored radiance while exuding an aura of impregnable defense.
Then, a colorful sword bead appeared.
The sword bead spun wildly, surrounded by terrifying sword light, seeming capable of slicing through everything.
“Go!”
Xiao Xiyue formed hand seals and shouted crisply, propelling the sword bead viciously towards the man in the crimson robe.
