Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 345: Fierce Battle in Water (Please Subscribe)
Ever since the two of them went to Jade Demon Mountain, Liu Ruyan's calm mood has changed a little.

The Chen Xuan in front of her was still the same as he was a year ago, gentle and kind to her.

The vicissitudes of life have never left any traces on his face.

He must be about sixty years old. I don't know if it's because of the cultivation method he has practiced, but he looks much younger than other monks of his age. He has an upright posture, an immortal air, and is calm and composed.

For a moment, Liu Ruyan had an illusion in her heart, as if she should know Chen Xuan and be familiar with him.

Chen Xuan welcomed Liu Ruyan into the inner house and introduced her to his three wives.

"Fairy Liu is a second-level formation master. We were able to help her during our last trip to Jade Demon Mountain."

"No, Island Master Chen, you're too polite."

Liu Ruyan bowed deeply to Jiang Yingxue and the other three.

That day, Chen Xuan invited her to have dinner at his home.

Yu Humei ran over shamelessly, completely ignoring Liu Ruyan, and only cared about feasting on her own food.

"My adopted sister, Yu Humei, ignore her. She's just a foodie!"

After dinner, Chen Xuan took Liu Ruyan into the secret room.

"Fairy Liu, is there anything I can do for you?"

Chen Xuan served the spiritual tea and asked directly.

"Now that the four nations are engaged in a war, I'm afraid my place won't be safe, so I'd like to move in with you temporarily."

Chen Xuan was stunned.

He thought that this request was really beyond his expectations.

"I remember that you seem to be affiliated with the Divine Bamboo Sect of Yu State."

"Island Master Chen is not mistaken. However, the Divine Bamboo Sect is only a small sect in the Yu Kingdom. It was fine in peacetime, but now, it has little deterrent power."

Liu Ruyan sighed softly.

She then explained the reasons for her temporary settlement on Wolong Island.

"Two months ago, pirates attempted to attack Feiyan Island, and some independent cultivators in the market assisted them. Fortunately, Feiyan Island had set up many formations, so the pirates returned empty-handed and suffered little loss."

“But not long after, the Divine Bamboo Sect of Yu Kingdom issued an order for her to move into the Divine Bamboo Sect with the cultivators from Baiyan Island.”

Chen Xuan asked: "Isn't this a good thing?"

In any case, the safety of the Shenzhu Sect headquarters is guaranteed.

"Island Master Chen, I am only a nominal member of the Divine Bamboo Sect, paying some taxes and receiving their protection. In fact, I have no connection with the Divine Bamboo Sect."

Chen Xuan's face was full of question marks.

Liu Ruyan said shyly, "A friend told me privately that the son of the leader of the Shenzhu Sect had seen me once, and he's interested in marrying me."

Chen Xuan was speechless.

How could he dare to speak about such a thing?

"Besides, she's not a wife, she's a concubine."

Speaking of this, Liu Ruyan, who was always aloof, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"How can this be! Fairy Liu is a beautiful woman, and a second-level formation master. Even if she is your legal wife, she is still marrying above your station. How can I humiliate you by using my status as a concubine!"

Chen Xuan blurted out.

This is not a compliment, but something he truly believes.

A second-level formation master is a rare high-level technical talent in the world of cultivation, and he must be respected and worshipped in the Jinyang Sect.

The Shenzhu Sect, a mere small sect with only Jindan Zhenren, actually dared to treat Liu Ruyan like this.

"No! Could it be..."

"Island Master Chen guessed right. The Divine Bamboo Sect wants to imprison me."

After hearing this, Chen Xuan concluded that the Shenzhu Sect had no good intentions.

He didn't even care about his basic dignity and directly snatched Liu Ruyan into the sect.

As for marrying her as a concubine, it was just an excuse to cover up the truth.

"Don't worry. Since Fairy Liu came to see me, she thinks highly of Chen Xuan."

"I will announce to the public that Fairy Liu and I have become sworn sisters. You can stay at Longxing Villa on Wolong Island for as long as you wish."

"I want to see if the Divine Bamboo Sect dares to come to my Wolong Island to ask for someone."

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan was both happy and surprised.

The good news is that Chen Xuan is indeed responsible and agreed immediately.

What surprised her was that he wanted to become sworn brothers with her.

In the future, when the two of them get along, they should call each other brother and sister.

Just like Yu Humei feasting at Chen Xuan's house.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan couldn't help feeling a little sad.

"Brother Chen, I will go to Feiyan Island now, pack up my belongings, and move here with my two disciples. Feiyan Island will be closed for the time being and will reopen when the situation improves."

"Good. But..."

Chen Xuan asked, "Sister Ruyan, did you feel anything unusual when you came here?"

Liu Ruyan was slightly stunned.

"Brother Chen, it does feel like someone is watching us, but after careful observation, I found no one nearby to follow us."

Liu Ruyan looked doubtful.

Given Chen Xuan's strength, there must be a reason for asking this question.

The situation was chaotic and she was being targeted by the Divine Bamboo Sect, so it was normal for her to be spied on while on the road.

However, Liu Ruyan is a foundation-building cultivator and a second-level formation master, so ordinary robbery cultivators would not target her.

"You smell like a female rove butterfly."

Female rove butterflies emit a special smell that monks cannot smell, but male rove butterflies with a keen sense of smell can track them within a hundred miles.

"what!"

Liu Ruyan's cheeks flushed.

There was a tracking mark on her body, but she was completely unaware of it and was brought to Longxing Villa on Wolong Island.

Chen Xuan guessed that the person who performed the secret marking technique raised a pair of rove butterflies and his strength was at least in the middle stage of foundation building.

As long as he is not a Jindan Zhenren, he has a way to force him to show up.

"Brother Chen, what should we do?"

"That's all right. Pretend you didn't notice and return to Feiyan Island as usual to handle the relocation. I'll protect you in secret."

A second-level formation master is an excellent helper to Chen Xuan.

They have all taken the initiative to join him, so how can he allow evil spirits to ruin his good deeds?

"Don't worry, I've summoned the psychic Azure Dragon and attached it to you. Even if the other party has some tricks up their sleeves, as long as they hold out for ten breaths, I'll be able to catch up."

Liu Ruyan felt very calm.

She had seen the psychic green dragon, a mid-grade second-level creature with great talent and amazing combat power.

Chen Xuan instructed the psychic green dragon, which transformed into a green silk ribbon and coiled it into Liu Ruyan's hair. "Sister Ruyan, things change so quickly. You should hurry up and return to the island to pack up. Be careful on your journey."

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "I will protect you within thirty miles."

The distance was thirty miles, and Chen Xuan could reach the destination in ten breaths by using his magical power of flying in the clouds.

"Okay, sister will return to the island now."

Liu Ruyan said as expected.

She said goodbye to Chen Xuan's three wives and frankly acknowledged Chen Xuan as her sworn brother.

After hearing this, Jiang Yingxue and the other two became noticeably more affectionate towards her.

Taking advantage of daybreak, Liu Ruyan raised the Seven-Feathered Heavenly Umbrella and floated away.

Chen Xuan dived deep into the sea, used his spiritual sense to locate himself, and performed the spiritual sea water escape technique to track Liu Ruyan in the sky.

One of them was in the sky, and the other was in the deep sea, always keeping a distance of thirty miles to avoid being discovered by the monks who cast the mark.

After leaving Wolong Island, Liu Ruyan remained vigilant.

Her Seven-Feathered Sky Umbrella has a slow flying speed, but it has strong defensive power.

The journey was uneventful.

In the distance, I can see my Feiyan Island.

Just as Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief, she heard a warning from the psychic green dragon in her soul.

"Fairy Liu, there are foundation-building cultivators hiding underwater."

Liu Ruyan was shocked.

Unexpectedly, they would be waiting for her at the door.

Two huge waves of water shot up into the sky, and out of them flew two foundation-building cultivators, a man and a woman.

The male cultivator held a magic bamboo weapon in his hand, while the female cultivator wore green clothes and had snake-like silk on her hands.

"It's you! Master Zhu!"

"You bitch, how dare you secretly meet your adulterer? Why don't you follow the young master back to the clan to be punished?"

The female cultivator did not allow any explanation and swept over with a long silk ribbon.

Liu Ruyan's soul was shaken, and her sight was filled with the shadow of Chang Ling, layer upon layer.

"Be bold!"

She held up the Seven-Feathered Sky Umbrella, and the umbrella turned slightly. Sharp flying knives flew out from the umbrella, emitting blade beams several feet long, and slashed at the long silk flying in the sky.

There was a teeth-grinding sound of silk ribbons rubbing against each other.

Chang Ling was hit by the flying knife, but he was weak and had no way to gain leverage. Chang Ling was just pulled to the extreme, and soon returned to its original state, still like a poisonous snake, enveloping him in circles.

Liu Ruyan's expression changed slightly. She hid in the Seven-Feathered Heavenly Umbrella and was soon entangled by the long silk, circle after circle, like a rice dumpling.

The magic circle of the Seven-Feathered Heavenly Umbrella shone brightly, creating a curtain of water that isolated Chang Ling from her restraints.

"Sir, this bitch is stubborn and unrepentant. Do you think I will kill her?"

While exerting pressure, the female cultivator asked Master Zhu beside her.

Mr. Zhu's expression was indifferent: "No, let me do it."

The magic bamboo in his hand transformed into a green forest and pointed lightly at Liu Ruyan.

Bang!
Liu Ruyan's Seven-Feathered Sky Net Umbrella seemed to have been hit hard, and the umbrella surface was sunken dramatically. The water curtain formation let out a mournful cry and was on the verge of collapse.

She hastily slapped out a second-grade, top-grade defensive talisman, which had just emitted a layer of protective aura when it was dimmed by the green forest and became shaky.

Liu Ruyan groaned, holding the Seven-Feathered Heavenly Umbrella tightly with both hands, and her delicate body was knocked away at an angle.

"Mr. Zhu, you force yourself on me like this, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world?"

"Hmph, Liu Ruyan, since you're mine, you must listen to me. If you don't, don't blame me for being ruthless. A real man shouldn't be afraid of what others say!"

"What about my sworn brother Chen Xuan? Aren't you afraid?"

Master Zhu was slightly startled.

"Isn't Chen Xuan from Wolong Island your adulterer?"

"Don't be so slanderous. Brother Chen is married and we are sworn brothers. If you bully me like this, he will definitely stand up for me."

Master Zhu laughed heartily.

"A cultivator at the fourth level of foundation building, how could I be afraid of him? Call him over here and see how I punish him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Zhu was about to use his magic power to chase after him.

At this moment, a green ribbon suddenly flew out of Liu Ruyan's hair.

Then, it swelled up as soon as it saw the wind, and suddenly grew to a monster body of fifty feet in length. It turned out to be a green dragon, blocking Liu Ruyan.

"No! Sir, it's Chen Xuan's dragon snake!"

The female cultivator exclaimed in warning.

The psychic green dragon sprayed an extremely cold icy mist at the two of them.

The air was cold and the surroundings were filled with icy fog.

The next moment.

The ice fog condensed and turned into an ice wall, freezing everything inside the wall.

The female cultivator's long silk scarf was frozen.

Mr. Zhu's magic bamboo magic weapon was also covered with layers of frost.

"What a green dragon!"

Master Zhu narrowed his eyes and made a move with his hand. A blood-red flying scimitar appeared in his hand and slashed at the psychic green dragon through the air.

The ice wall shattered.

The psychic green dragon spit out a glazed eight-treasure fan from its mouth, which fanned out countless cold stars and hit the flying scimitar, making continuous "ding-ding-dang-dang" sounds.

Then, he protected Liu Ruyan and landed in the sea.

Master Zhu brought the female cultivator and just chased after them.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

In the ocean, a waterway was silently opened, and a green shadow flew out of the water like lightning.

"So fast?"

Master Zhu quickly reminded the female cultivator.

"Wan'er, be careful! Chen Xuan is coming!"

Master Zhu let out a low shout and lightly tapped the magic bamboo in his hand. A sharp beam of light shot towards the green shadow in the water.

"Be bold!"

When Chen Xuan saw that Master Zhu and the other man not only did not run away but attacked him instead, he became furious.

He hadn't felt the pain of being attacked by surprise for a long time.

The Green Water Sword was raised, causing a huge wave hundreds of feet high, which swept towards Master Zhu and the female cultivator in the air with overwhelming and terrifying momentum.
