Yunmeng Immortal Clan

Just then, a sword light flashed past. Before Landlord Shen could react, a hole appeared in his head.

Before the landlord could react, he turned into a corpse, fell to the ground, his eyes rolled back, and died with his eyes wide open, a truly tragic sight.

"Murder! Murder!" Everyone was shocked and immediately fled the scene.

After Landlord Shen led these people away from the house and into a grove of trees, they finally caught their breath and looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What kind of technique was that? It looked like a sword pierced right through the head of that landlord Shen!" The people present were still shaken by the terrifying scene.

"That's definitely the work of immortals! I've had the privilege of witnessing cultivators before; they can conjure fireballs and wind blades out of thin air!" one of the more knowledgeable people exclaimed.

"I never imagined that a mere Juxian Village would have cultivators. We must run! If that cultivator catches up, we'll all die!"

Upon hearing this, those present exchanged glances and quickly dispersed.

But in the next moment, almost everyone present heard a voice in their ears: "Gentlemen, having committed such evil deeds, do you still dare to dream of leaving this place?"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless transparent and resilient threads appeared out of nowhere, precisely wrapping around everyone's necks.

With each mournful wail, corpses collapsed to the ground.

Some of these mortals, unaware of the reason, lost their lives in vain.

Song Daoxuan then got up from the inner room, leaped onto the corpses, and used a fireball spell to completely destroy them.

Once inside the house, Song Daoxuan untied the ropes binding Aqing and her mother.

The commotion just now made both of them think of Song Daoxuan, but they both remained silent.

In this world, cultivators frequently appear, and countless demonic beasts wreak havoc on humanity. Rumors of chivalrous cultivators stepping in to suppress these demons often circulate throughout the world.

Some cultivators also use the lives of these mortals as resources for their cultivation.

Whether cultivators are good or evil is irrelevant, but the fact that cultivators are inherently prone to emotional instability is something that mortals naturally accept.

In the evening, Aqing's father and brother returned home.

Aqing's mother whispered a few words in her father's ear, and his expression changed drastically.

After this incident, Aqing's family could no longer treat Song Daoxuan as a normal, ordinary person.

In the following days, Song Daoxuan originally wanted to do some things for A Qing's family that he could, but A Qing's family no longer dared to let him do these dirty and tiring jobs.

At this point, Song Daoxuan knew it was time to leave.

It's another night.

Song Daoxuan gazed at the group and said, "Thank you all for taking care of me these past few days. I truly have no way to repay your life-saving grace."

Immediately afterwards, Song Daoxuan told the group about his identity as a cultivator, and the group did not show much surprise on their faces.

Then Song Daoxuan told A Qing's family that he wanted to test A Qing's spiritual root aptitude up close.

The group nodded to each other, agreeing to Song Daoxuan's request.

Without hesitation, Song Daoxuan went to A Qing's side, placed his hand on A Qing's crown, and enveloped her with a divine sense.

The two beams of light were detected by Song Daoxuan.

"It's true that he has the talent of an earth-elemental root..."

"Ah Qing, you possess the potential for immortality, making you a promising candidate for cultivation. I wish to take you as my disciple and teach you the methods of immortality. Please consider it..."

After Song Daoxuan finished speaking, the girl Aqing's eyes widened, and she was stunned, a look of disbelief on her face.

"Brother Xuan, you said I have immortal roots?" Aqing pointed to herself, clearly still somewhat doubtful of Song Daoxuan's words.

Song Daoxuan nodded, and his expression didn't seem like he was joking.

After discussing it with her parents, Aqing decided to follow Song Daoxuan to cultivate the method of immortality.

"I just killed Landlord Shen and his party. I'm afraid the authorities will be here soon. As a cultivator, I may not fear worldly power, but if this drags on too long, it could cause some trouble..."

Song Daoxuan planned to send people to settle A Qing's parents on the outskirts of the Qinglian Islands, but he made it clear that he could guarantee that A Qing's family would have plenty of food and clothing.

As for A Qing, Song Daoxuan planned to take her with him on his journey south and teach her the methods of cultivation.

That night, Song Daoxuan used a sound transmission talisman to contact the Song clan members on the Qinglian Islands and sent someone to make proper arrangements for Aqing's relatives.

The following day, Song Daoxuan, accompanied by A Qing, rode the White Bone Shuttle, transforming into a flying rainbow, and fled south.

On the white bone shuttle, Song Daoxuan taught A Qing some basic cultivation techniques.

During the journey, Song Daoxuan learned that A Qing's real name was Mu Qingxuan.

Mu Qingxuan was not Old Man Mu's biological daughter, but rather someone he found in the wild during a famine and raised from then on.

When Mu Qingxuan found it, she had a jade pendant in her mouth, on which were engraved the words "Qingxuan".

Old Man Mu used Mu as his surname and Qingxuan as his given name to call this baby girl.

Song Daoxuan suspected that Mu Qingxuan's family background might be connected to the cultivation world, so he used his divine sense to examine Mu Qingxuan's jade pendant.

As a result, Song Daoxuan discovered the secret of this jade pendant.

The jade pendant is not a powerful magic weapon or secret treasure like those found in the world of cultivation.

If an ordinary person wears this jade pendant, over time, it will ensure good health and prevent illness.

Such an ability might be the envy of an ordinary person, but for a cultivator like Song Daoxuan, this jade pendant was utterly worthless.

"In the cultivation world, it's impossible to detect someone's spiritual root aptitude when they're too young. The parents who abandoned Mu Qingxuan were likely cultivators, but the appearance of this jade pendant is enough to prove that her parents didn't want her to step into the cultivation world."

Song Daoxuan returned the jade pendant to Mu Qingxuan, and also shared his speculations about her family background with this disciple.

Mu Qingxuan simply smiled calmly. If she were to achieve great success in her cultivation in the future, she would have no time to search for her parents. Firstly, the cultivation world was vast and boundless, and with just a jade pendant, there would be absolutely no clues.

Secondly, since her biological parents had not fulfilled their duty of raising her since birth, and it was the Mu family of Juxian Village who raised her, she only wanted to take good care of the Mu family who raised her, and then wholeheartedly follow Song Daoxuan and yearn for the so-called path to immortality.
