Simultaneous travel: My sons all have the qualities of an emperor

Chapter 434 Gu Mang Takes Revenge, Xu Xiaoruan Pays Homage to Seventh Master

Seeing the menacing Gu Mang, Gu Ming deliberately smiled and said, "Father, are you seeking revenge? The enemy's name is Zhou Qiyun."

Gu Mang, now a middle-aged man, had black and white hair, which added a touch of mystery to his appearance.

Then he sneered, "That's right. Several years ago, I was chased to Qinyan Cave by a snake catcher. That man was called Zhou Qiyun. Now that you are in charge, I am relieved. I am going to find my enemy and take revenge."

Gu Ming suddenly said quietly, "I've heard of Zhou Qiyun before. He's a genius who became the number one person in Yongzhou in just four years. Now, three hundred years later, he's the number one expert in the world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Mang suddenly trembled and said solemnly, "I suddenly realized that Qi Qi is still young. If I leave, there will be no one to teach him to read and write. Never mind, when will this cycle of revenge end? I will let him go this time."

Now, after transforming, Qi appears as a child with one black and one white horn on its head, making it quite adorable. Upon hearing this, it bit its finger and said:
“Grandfather, you can go in peace. I can now read hundreds of books.”

Gu Mang flew into a rage, grabbed Yu Qi and slapped him hard on the buttocks, saying, "Why are you looking forward to your grandfather's death? I have such an unfilial brat like you."

Yuqi was beaten and cried loudly.

Gu Ming laughed heartily. After drinking that glass of orange juice, in terms of strength alone, let alone Zhou Qiyun, even few immortals in the heavens could defeat Gu Mang.

So it seems that he only had a little bit of "filial piety".

Seeing Gu Mang's actions, Gu Ming stroked his chin and laughed, "Although Zhou Qiyun is invincible, even if you were placed in the heavens, you would find it hard to find a match for him."

Gu Mang suddenly stopped hitting Qi Qi and said with a pained expression, "Grandson, did you get hurt? Come on, Grandpa will take you to beat up the bad guys and vent your anger."

Two lines of clear tears involuntarily streamed down Qi Qi's bright black and white eyes. He wanted to question his grandfather about why he had been deferential at first and then obsequious.

······
Now, in Yongzhou, there lived a young snake catcher, whose skill was truly remarkable. His name was Xu Ying.

Just then, a green-robed deity appointed by the City God was causing trouble in the village. Xu Ying killed him in a fit of rage, thus violating the heavenly rules.

In order not to implicate others, Xu Ying wrote a line of words on the wall with his own blood: "The god-killer, Xu Ying!"
From then on, the snake-catching boy began his journey on the run.

Escape is easier said than done. But in Lingling, the land Xu Ying was about to go, there were eight hundred mountains, five hundred rivers, and more than two thousand gods, large and small, worshipped in various villages.

He was just a young man at the very bottom of the cultivation world, practicing martial arts, and only at the lowest level of Qi Gathering Realm. How could he possibly withstand one crisis after another?

Fortunately, Xu Ying was exceptionally talented, always breaking through in battles and even able to learn new methods and embark on new paths of cultivation.

But human effort has its limits, and Xu Ying's life was about to end.

Beside a stream, a minor official in blue robes blocked Xu Ying's path. This was a person who had unlocked the secrets of the human body, or perhaps a Nuo master.

The Nuo master unlocks the hidden secrets of the human body, comprehends the universe and nature, enhances inner cultivation, and unleashes Nuo magic with extraordinary power.

The minor official Ding Quan opened the Niwan Secret Treasury, which was brimming with vitality and could also summon green vines, making it truly difficult for Xu Ying to deal with.

But Xu Ying was different after all. He sought an opening amidst the crisis, broke through the layers of green vines, and his blood and qi surged like a vast ocean. He actually punched Ding Quan in the head, causing him to bleed from all seven orifices.

That wasn't all. Xu Ying placed his palm on Ding Quan's ribs and his ten fingers flew across Ding Quan's entire body, dislocating all of his joints.

Ding Quan collapsed to the ground, unable to move, and then Xu Ying straddled him, punching him repeatedly.

Boom!

Boom!

The sounds of fists clashing against flesh were incessant, and the heart-stopping cracking of bones echoed continuously. Xu Ying's eyes were filled with ferocity, and blood flowed incessantly from his fists.

Finally, Xu Ying mustered all his strength and delivered a heavy punch to Ding Quan's Niwan Palace, cracking as it struck.

Ding Quan never recovered; his head shattered like a watermelon, white and red blood flowing together, thick and gruesome.

After seeing that Ding Quan was no longer responding, Xu Yingfang breathed a sigh of relief and took deep breaths.

"Ding Quan, the judicial assistant."

"Are you the one apprehending the thief?"

Hearing shouts from other officials not far away, Xu Ying's heart skipped a beat. He knew he couldn't stay any longer, but he had exhausted all his strength in the bloody battle with Ding Quan and was powerless to escape.

"My life is over!"

Xu Yingqing's handsome face was covered in blood, and his eyes were filled with sorrow.

But things have come to this, and he has always been alone; who can come to his rescue?

"I'm here to help you!"

Suddenly a loud shout rang out, and Xu Ying was startled at first. He was just thinking to himself, how could someone hear him? Then a glimmer of hope appeared in his heart, who was coming to save him?

His biological parents had been missing for many years, and he had no idea where this benefactor had come from.
Thinking of this, Xu Ying propped himself up and followed the sound to see who was coming to save him.

A large, black and white serpent with long horns was seen flying in the sky, its appearance extraordinary.

"A demonic serpent! It's a demonic serpent!"

"Get him."

The officials were all greatly alarmed, and they all shouted that they would capture the black and white snakes, each displaying their martial arts skills to get close and subdue them.

Xu Ying stared in disbelief at the scene. No, he was a snake catcher, and now he was to be saved by a snake? This version of events didn't seem right.

'Oh no, has this giant snake mistaken me for someone else? If it knew I had countless snake lives on my hands and was a notorious snake catcher, it would probably devour me whole.'

As Xu Ying thought of this, he broke out in a cold sweat. He saw the giant snake in the air waving its body, seemingly invincible, taking down an opponent with a single move.

My heart nearly jumped out of my chest in fright. Then I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes, rolled over, and pretended to be dead!
Qi was very fast and killed all the officials. These officials usually preyed on the people and none of them were innocent.

Then, Qi swam on the ground. Although he could easily levitate at this moment, he still enjoyed the feeling of being grounded.

'I can't find you, I can't find myself, I'm already dead.'

Xu Ying thought to himself silently, but sweat kept pouring out of his body, mixed with blood flowing down his body.

Looking at Xu Ying's unsteady body, Yu Qi deliberately curled his lip and said, "Is that snake-catching boy dead? If so, then my dinner is sorted out for today."

'How did he know I was a snake catcher? And he even wanted to eat me!' Xu Ying jumped up and looked at Ye Qi with a fawning smile: 'Thank you, snake demon, cough cough, thank you, Dragon God, for saving my life. I will remember it forever and repay you in my next life.'

With that, he turned and ran.

"Hmph, if you dare to leave, don't blame me for being impolite."

As Yuqi spoke, the yin and yang energies in the world formed chains that blocked Xu Ying's path. Upon seeing this, Xu Ying, with a mournful face, suddenly knelt down in front of Yuqi.

"Lord Dragon God, although I am a snake catcher, I only catch bad snakes. I have never killed innocent ones. Please don't kill me."

Ye Qi laughed and said, "Who said I was going to kill you? I've already saved you, so why would I bother killing you? It would be pointless."

Xu Ying was stunned and asked blankly, "Then what is this, Lord Dragon God?"

Qi Wen said politely, "I have been ordered by my father to come and find my destined person, to protect him, and to grow together with him."

Xu Ying said blankly, "Could this destined person be me?"

"Is your surname Xu and your given name Ying? Were you picked up and raised by someone? You've always peed very straight since you were little, and you never worry about wetting your shoes. You often pee very high in the morning."

Xu Ying was both shocked and ashamed. How could this snake demon know everything, even his embarrassing childhood stories?

"Yes, Lord Dragon God, did your father tell you what you wanted to do by calling me?"

Yu Qi glanced at Xu Ying and couldn't help but sigh:

"You're uncultured. It's 'your father,' not 'your father.' Also, don't call me 'Lord Dragon God' anymore. My surname is Gu and my given name is Qi. Just call me Qi. My father didn't say anything specific, he just said to stay by your side."

Xu Ying thought to himself, 'That's great! This way, he'll have an extra bodyguard.'

He then said obediently, "My name is Xu Ying. You can call me Xiao Xu from now on, Seventh Master."

When Qi was in Qinyan Cave, he had the lowest status in the family, but now he was called Master Qi. He laughed heartily and said, "Let's go, Xiao Ying, accompany Master Qi for a stroll."

"Here."

······
Time flies, and unlike Xu Ying in the original timeline who was always running away, the current Xiao Ying is living a very comfortable life under the care of Master Qi.

Neither gods nor officials, nor even spirits or ghosts, nor remnants of the old era could do anything to them. Soon, the two made a great name for themselves.

He also made many friends, including the girl in the coffin, the bell that was deliberately bumped into, and Yuan Weiyang who was dressed as a woman.

During this time, Xu Ying acquired a large number of Nuo magic manuals and displayed amazing talent. He could learn them at a glance and master them in no time. He was also able to decipher ancient Nuo magic manuals, which attracted the attention of many Nuo master families.

Among these aristocratic families, the most famous is undoubtedly the Zhou family, founded by Zhou Qiyun, the number one person in the world.

One day, Xu Ying and Yuan Weiyang were discussing Nuo magic, while the old man protecting Yuan Weiyang was watching with a sigh, wondering if the two were standing too close.

"Is it Xu Ying? I have sent people to invite you many times, but to no avail. Now I have no choice but to come to find you in person."

A soft voice came from behind. Xu Ying looked up and saw a young man with a spirited air about him, but his eyebrows were snow-white.

Standing to the side was a boy, and looking at the young man, he always had a strange feeling.

Then the white-browed youth stepped forward and continued, "My name is Zhou Qiyun. Three hundred years ago, I was a snake catcher just like you."

"What snake catcher? Don't talk nonsense. I've reformed. I'll never do that sinful job of snake catching again," Xu Ying said hastily, glancing at Seventh Master.

"Seventh Master, as you know, I haven't caught any snakes since I started following you."

Xu Ying looked at Seventh Master, but saw Seventh Master's small face suddenly sneer: "Your name is Zhou Qiyun. Three hundred years ago, it was you who chased my grandfather and broke into Qinyan Cave."

Zhou Qiyun looked at Yu Qi in surprise: "You are the grandson of that strange snake, hahaha, I really have a deep connection with you and your grandfather."

Xu Ying was greatly shocked. The grandfather of the Seventh Master, whom he admired, was actually hunted down by Zhou Qiyun back then. This showed just how remarkable Zhou Qiyun was.

"Fate my ass! Zhou Qiyun, you're in big trouble. I'm calling my grandfather right now. Humph, he's been looking for revenge on you all along."

As he spoke, Yu Qi took out something as thin as a cicada's wing yet square-shaped, with a lotus-shaped table on top, and pointed at it here and there:

"Hello, is this Grandfather? I've found you, Zhou Qiyun, who was chasing you back then. Come and take revenge."

Xu Ying stared dumbfounded at Ye Qi, who was shaking people, and Zhou Qiyun, who stood calmly to the side.

He couldn't help but say to Zhou Qiyun, "Aren't you going to hide? Seventh Master is very powerful, so his grandfather must also be very powerful. Perhaps you can defeat his grandfather together, but now that his grandfather dares to take revenge on you, he must be absolutely certain of success."

Zhou Qiyun said calmly, "Before, I was just a minor cultivator who needed to be fearful and avoid danger. But now I am the number one person in the world. What is there in this world that I should be afraid of?"

Upon hearing this, Qi sneered repeatedly: "Three hundred years east of the river, three hundred years west of the river, don't underestimate this old snake's poverty. When my grandfather arrives, you'll have your day."

Zhou Qiyun laughed again: "I regret it? You and your grandson should thank me. If I hadn't deliberately helped him, how could he have taken the elixir, awakened his intelligence, and cultivated into a demon?"

Qi Qi exclaimed, "You did this on purpose!"

"Haha, not bad. Back when I entered Qin Yan Cave, I discovered many miraculous elixirs and scriptures. So I took the elixirs and burned all the scriptures that I couldn't take with me."
I was also worried that someone would discover I had obtained the treasure, so I destroyed my own hidden world, giving you the opportunity to cultivate into a demon, and letting you attract the attention of others for me.

“Xu Ying, you said that the cultivation method of this snake’s grandfather was given to me, and the pills were also deliberately left by me. He still doesn’t know that I have him under my thumb. Do you think he can make me regret it?”
In my eyes, he was nothing more than a little snake.

Zhou Qiyun spoke casually, his words carrying an air of arrogance that disregarded everything in the world. Indeed, he had the qualifications and ability to do so.

"Heh, Zhou Qiyun, well, what a Zhou Qiyun! If I, Gu Mang, don't beat the shit out of you today, I'm not a Gu!!!"

A roar came, stirring the clouds like thunder. Xu Ying couldn't help but look up, only to see that all the clouds rolled like ocean waves before dissipating, leaving behind a clear sky.

Then, it got dark...
No, it's not that it's dark, but that there's a huge thing that's blocking out the sky. If you look closely, you can see that it's shimmering with light—it's scales, black and white scales!
Then the black and white scales suddenly blurred and transformed, indicating that the body of this colossal creature was moving. Behind them, two great suns appeared in the sky—the eyes of this colossal creature!
Yuqi exclaimed in surprise, "Grandpa!"

Xu Ying's body went limp instantly. This was Yu Qi's grandfather! He was way too old!

Then Xu Ying looked at Zhou Qiyun, wanting to see how this number one person in the world would deal with the little snake he mentioned.

As a result, Zhou Qiyun had disappeared from the spot, and a loud roar came from afar. The mountains made a loud noise, and Xu Ying saw that without exception, there was a human-shaped gap on each of these mountains, showing various running postures.

Zhou Qiyun ran away?!
