Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 61 One Sword

"Second Master, what's the point of us squatting like this?"

"If you want money and compensation, you should attack! Break through this defensive formation first, and the Yu family will be terrified and kneel before us. Then, we can decide how much compensation they pay."

"It's so boring to just stand here like an idiot, neither taking action nor swearing."

Outside the Yu family compound, a young man in his twenties, with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth and a sword hanging at his waist, spoke in a nonchalant manner.

His name is Chen Hai, the most promising new generation in the Chen family, who has already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Within the entire Chen family, he could be considered a prodigy, highly valued and respected. Yet now he's been sent to the Yu family, constantly watched and unable to cultivate, which inevitably makes him feel uneasy.

Beside him stood an elderly man dressed in blue.

The old man was thin, but had a strong spirit. He was playing with nine throwing knives in his hand. He was one of the peak Qi Refining cultivators of the Chen family!

"What do you know?"

"I sent you here to temper your character. Be a good watchdog and don't let anyone else in."

Chen Yuanbai glanced at the other person and scolded, "I'm not as polite as your grandpa. If you don't behave, I'll send you to Luoqian Manor for arduous training another day!"

"No, no, no, I understand." Chen Hai quickly spat out the grass root from his mouth and stood up straight.

Luoqian Manor is no place for humans. If it were to visit female cultivators at Fanyin Manor, he wouldn't object.

In this area, besides the various families and the largest sect, the Myriad Manor Sect, there are also several gangs and manors.

These forces are not as powerful as sects, but they are a good option for disciples who cannot join the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

Chen Hai was a disciple of Luoqian Mountain Villa. In the past, he had to constantly practice swordsmanship in front of cliffs. Those days were so boring and tedious that they once drove him to a mental breakdown. Fortunately, such forces did not strictly discipline their disciples, and he could go back to his family whenever he wanted.

In contrast, what Luoqian Manor saw was not his talent, but the silver and spirit stones he paid for his apprenticeship.

There are too many disciples like this; they won't care if the disciple dies, as long as the money is paid.

After seeing that Chen Hai's attitude had improved, Chen Yuanbai nodded and turned his gaze back to the Yu family.

Actually, he had his own questions about why the Chen family was targeting the Yu family. He thought the Yu family had obtained some unknown treasure.

It wasn't until he asked the head of the family that Chen Yuanbai learned it was a transaction.

"Dongyang City, the Tang family? Or was it Tang Xing's own doing?"

"No matter what, they are disciples of Jade Cauldron Peak and have a connection with our family, so we should help them with this small favor."

Chen Yuanbai narrowed his eyes, knowing that this might involve some internal struggles within the sect.

However, the Chen family could not refuse, simply because it would offend the Tang family and ruin their relationship with Tang Xing for no reason.

"Three days. This is the last day. Let's leave when it's time. Whatever happens after that is none of our business."

Chen Yuanbai raised his eyes and looked at the sky.

As dawn broke and the third day was approaching, he put away the nine throwing knives beside him and was about to call Chen Hai to leave.

Ahead, the Yu family's defensive formation has been activated.

"Oh? So these cowards are finally coming out? Second Master, are you going to make a move?" Chen Hai excitedly drew his magic sword from his waist.

Chen Yuanbai's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "How could the timing be so coincidental?"

To be honest, he didn't expect any compensation at first. It was just a deal to block the door. The Yu family was so weak, so it was fine to just step on them. There was no need to wipe them out.

And the Yu family cooperated perfectly, hiding inside for three days.

But at the very last moment, the door actually opened!

Chen Yuanbai pondered whether or not to take action, and whether or not to continue demanding compensation.

At this moment, an old man with a youthful face and white hair walked in from the front, carrying three wooden swords on his back and wearing a white robe, looking extremely simple.

"So it was you who killed two Qi Refining cultivators from my Yu family?"

Yu Tairan's expression was calm, and his tone was peaceful, giving people a refined feeling, as if he were a Taoist priest who had distanced himself from worldly affairs.

Chen Hai was taken aback, then realized what was happening and burst into laughter: "Old man, so what if we were the ones who did it? What, you want revenge?"

"If that's the case, then that's good."

Yu Tairan nodded and slowly drew a wooden sword from his back.

At this moment, Chen Yuanbai's expression changed, and he shouted, "Hai'er, let's go!"

The next second, he threw nine throwing knives, which shot forward!

Both were at the peak of Qi Refining, but when the other party pulled out that wooden sword, Chen Yuanbai felt a life-threatening danger. Although he didn't know why he felt this way, his trembling heart and his fearful intuition could not deceive him!

The person in front of you is extremely dangerous!!!

They had already inquired about the Yu family and learned that there was only one Qi Refining Peak cultivator, and he hadn't appeared for a long time, so he might have already passed away.

But why does this peak Qi Refining level seem a little different?

"It's sword intent!" Chen Yuanbai immediately understood when he saw the other party wielding the wooden sword. He was shocked and pulled Chen Hai back.

But Yu Tairan didn't even glance at them, and his wooden sword slashed down from a distance.

"Bang bang bang!" Nine throwing knives were knocked away by a powerful force.

In mid-air, the sword intent traveled hundreds of meters and landed on Chen Hai. The sword intent was like a sword slashing at your head, with no way to dodge it, and its sharpness was fully exposed!

"Pfft!" Chen Hai's eyes widened. One hand was still in Chen Yuanbai's hand, but the other side of his body was suspended in mid-air.

"this"

At that moment, he realized that he seemed to have been cut in two.

But how could that be? He was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, yet he died without even seeing how the move was executed.

Chen Hai couldn't believe it, but his consciousness had already fallen into darkness. The last thought that popped into his mind was, what exactly was this sword strike?

"Pfft!" Chen Yuanbai spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered back several steps, and stared at Yu Tairan in shock.

Then, upon witnessing Chen Hai's death, his eyes widened in fury, he clenched his teeth, and was about to roar out in anger when...

Then he saw the other party raise the wooden sword again, and he was so frightened that he immediately turned around and flew away without stopping.

Even at the peak of Qi Refining, he struggled to withstand a single sword strike from his opponent. If he were to receive several more, he might very well die here. The Chen family only had three peak Qi Refining experts in total, and the death of even one would drastically change the situation.

Having witnessed Yu Tairan's strength, Chen Yuanbai dared not fight and could only flee the scene in fear.

Yu Tairan did not chase after it. In his raised palm, the wooden sword was slowly withering like a flower, turning into ashes.

He withdrew his gaze, calmly turned around, and returned to the Yu family compound.

"Unfortunately, this wooden sword is not tempered enough to kill that peak Qi Refining expert."

"There are ninety-nine left. It's time for the juniors to hone their skills."
