Chapter 38: Outsmarting the Xiao Family
Peng Xinzhan gritted his teeth and refused to tell Cui Chen the clues. Cui Chen had no choice but to take Nangong Yingying back to the cave.
According to the description of the casual cultivator who set up a stall, the monk who abducted Cui Wan had a superb escape technique, which obviously surpassed the category of foundation-building monks, and maybe even the ancestor of Yuanying.
But no matter what kind of being brought Cui Wan, it is not something Cui Chen can provoke now.
Cui Chen can be sure that Cui Wan is not in danger. Cui Wan's specific qualifications have not been tested, but he can break through the fourth level of Qi training at the age of seven. His spiritual root qualifications are absolutely excellent and cannot be matched by a third spiritual root. Cui Chen has been secretly guessing
, my daughter may be a unique genius with the fire attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root.
For such a genius, and the other person is a male cultivator, there is no possibility of taking him over. It is most likely that he will be trained as a direct disciple.
After thinking about this, Cui Chen relaxed a little.
But Nangong Yingying was different. She thought she lost her daughter because of her poor care. She was so guilty that she cried all day long.
Cui Chen held Nangong Yingying in his arms and comforted her softly: "A blessing in disguise? Wan'er followed us and struggled all her life. She might not even get a single Foundation Building Pill, but following that senior
, at least there are nails on the foundation, and even the golden elixir has a glimmer of hope!"
"But……"
Although Nangong Yingying thought what Cui Chen said was reasonable, she still couldn't let go of her daughter.
Cui Chen saw that it was not possible for Nangong Yingying to remain depressed like this, so he simply decided to change the environment to avoid staying here and Nangong Yingying saw things and missed people.
"Pack it up, we will leave Yanyue Zongfang City tomorrow."
As the head of the family, Cui Chen has always been one of the best.
"where to?"
Nangong Yingying's tears were not yet dry, but she had already started to pack her things, especially her kitchen utensils, which were all magical tools that Cui Chen had refined for her.
Early the next morning, the two left the place where they had lived for ten years.
They went all the way east and flew more than a thousand miles to Fenghe Stream in the eastern part of Yue Kingdom. Yes, Cui Chen came here for the Xiao family, not to eliminate the roots and avoid future troubles, but to "fix the body".
He has been coveting this spell for more than a day or two. It can be said that as long as Cui Chen obtains the body-fixing technique and cooperates with his physical training, he will be very confident in killing the opponent in an instant when dealing with monks of the same level.
After a tiring journey, the two of them closed the river to rest for three days, while inquiring about news about the Xiao family.
But what surprised him was that the Xiao family had another foundation-building monk a few years ago. It turned out that after the death of Xiao Chong, his fourth son Xiao Shuzhou went into seclusion under tremendous pressure when the family was about to survive.
With the assistance of the Foundation Building Pill, the forced foundation building was successful.
After that, he broke out and led the Xiao family to fight off several surrounding families who coveted the Xiao family's property. For a time, his name was legendary in Fenghe Stream.
"This is going to be difficult!"
Cui Chen is not afraid of Xiao Shuzhou, but he is not so stupid as to rush into his house and grab things.
Which family hasn’t set up a formation yet?
But Cui Chen was absolutely unwilling to ask Cui Chen to give up. Now was the time when the Xiao family was at its weakest. If he didn't get the body-holding technique now, it would be even more difficult to obtain it after the Xiao family calmed down!
"How to do it?"
Just as Cui Chen was racking his brains, Nangong Yingying said: "Brother Cui, can I do anything?"
"any solution?"
Cui Chen was surprised. In his impression, Nangong Yingying always did not like to use her brain. She usually did what she said.
Nangong Yingying looked at Cui Chen's surprised gaze, her red lips parted slightly: "If you can't rush in, can't you lead him out?"
"How to lure him out? I'm afraid that as soon as I show up, he will get into the clan-protecting formation and never come out again!"
Nangong Yingying rolled her beautiful eyes and said, "Brother Cui, you are so smart and confused!"
"How to say?"
"Brother Cui, you are a foundation-building monk. Facing you, Xiao Shuzhou will naturally not dare to act rashly. But if other Qi-training period monks attack the Xiao family's autumn wind, do you think he can still bear it?"
Cui Chen burst out laughing after hearing this. Then he realized that there was a female Zhuge beside him all the time. He immediately held her in his arms and comforted her with his skillful hands.
The next day, Cui Chen captured some casual cultivators in the area, forced them to obey orders, disguised themselves as evil cultivators, and attacked a medicine garden of the Xiao family.
As soon as the action was taken here, the Xiao family received the news.
"Bang!"
Xiao Shuzhou slammed the table angrily and said angrily: "These ignorant people have actually brought trouble on my Xiao family. When I capture them, I will crush them to ashes to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
After that, he was about to go out and kill everyone.
"Husband, wait a minute!"
Xiao Shuzhou's wife felt something was wrong and hurriedly advised: "My husband's magical power has become so powerful in Fenghe River in the past few years. Several nearby families are honest and do not dare to take the lead. But at this time, the evil cultivator is suddenly causing trouble. Could it be aimed at my husband?"
conspiracy?"
"You mean this family might plan to ambush me?"
Xiao Shuzhou smiled contemptuously: "They don't have this ability yet! Over the years, they have been frightened by me, and they all huddled in the family formation and did not dare to come out!"
"But……"
"No buts, the good news is that Madam is waiting for me at home!" After Xiao Shuzhou finished speaking, he stepped on the flying sword and left. He was confident that with his magical power, he could retreat calmly even when facing the Foundation Establishment monks.
Seeing the light disappearing in the air, Mrs. Xiao always felt uneasy. This sad look made her already beautiful face even more pity-like.
…
A medicine garden in the Xiao family was being surrounded and attacked by more than a dozen casual cultivators. Cui Chen promised them that as long as they conquered the medicine garden, they would not only be freed from the ban, but also give each of them a sum of spiritual stones.
Although they were doubtful, they were not qualified to refuse.
"Rumble..."
The protective formation of Yaoyuan was shimmering, as if it would be broken in the next moment.
A Xiao family monk who was in the late stage of Qi training gritted his teeth and input mana into the defensive formation, and encouraged his momentum: "Everyone, hold on, I have sent out the transmission talisman, and the clan leader will be here soon!"
"yes!"
When several other monks heard this, their morale was greatly boosted.
Both sides attacked and defended, and half an hour passed.
"call out!"
Just when the defensive formation was about to be broken, a handsome figure came quickly from the horizon.
"Great, it's the clan leader!"
The keen-eyed monks of the Xiao family spotted Xiao Shuzhou immediately. When the others heard the words, they looked around and proved that what the person who spoke out was true, and he was not shouting blindly to boost morale.
The monks of the Xiao family here were very excited, clamoring that they would look at the evil cultivators outside later, but the monks outside were indifferent and continued to attack the formation diligently, as if Xiao Shuzhou, the foundation builder, was no different whether he came or not.
.
This reaction made it impossible for the Xiao family in the formation to deal with it.
The foundation-building cultivators didn’t run away even after they arrived? These evil cultivators can’t be stupid, right?
As soon as this thought came up, a ray of light suddenly flew into the sky among the group of casual cultivators, heading straight towards Xiao Shuzhou.
