Cultivating immortality begins with formations.

Among the five major families in Jiulingfang City, the Zhou family and the Wang family have always been enemies, and bloodshed is almost commonplace.

Today you ambush a talented junior in my clan; tomorrow I will seize a batch of your spiritual treasures.

As a son-in-law of the Zhou family, Zhang Dashan can save his life if he avoids trouble, but he will not be given important responsibilities.

Naturally, there will be no more cultivation resources allocated to it.

Therefore, both morally and logically, he had to go.

However, Lu Yuan and the pharmacist were outsiders and had no intention of getting involved in their family's struggle.

However, if he were to return now, he would have to face the bride, Zhou Meng'er, and the group of beautifully dressed women all by himself.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and then said, "I'll go and see too, just in case Da Shan acts impulsively and something unexpected happens."

The pharmacist said helplessly, "Let's go together."

"Um."

Lu Yuan didn't say anything more, and quickly followed after them using his movement technique.

As for the pharmacist...

Although he is a doctor.

But his silver needles, which never miss a target, were used with unparalleled skill, killing people invisibly.

Fifteen years ago, the four of them traveled thousands of miles to Jiuling Market. If it weren't for the pharmacist protecting them, they would have perished along the way.

"Old dog Wang, you're truly shameless. You're almost a hundred years old, yet you still dare to ambush the young men of my clan."

Zhou Qingyun's angry shouts and curses exploded like thunder, resounding through the night sky.

Opposite him stood an old man dressed in a black robe, holding a soft sword, with a cold smile on his face.

Both of them were at full power, possessing the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and had clearly already fought several rounds.

All around, two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the Zhou family were locked in a fierce battle with five cultivators from the Wang family.

Several corpses lay on the ground.

"Ha ha."

"To see the young lives of your Zhou family perish tragically under my sword is a great pleasure in life."

The old man grinned maliciously, lunged forward, and thrust his soft sword forward like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, emitting an eerie green light.

"Old dog, today I will make sure you die on the spot."

Zhou Qingyun cursed angrily, flipped his hand to reveal a jade mirror, and the mirror surface emitted seven mysterious lights, which he then boldly met.

Three beams of mysterious light protected his body, while four other beams of mysterious light shot towards the old man like meteors in the air.

If you were to be hit by that blow, you would be half-dead even if you didn't die.

The old man had not exhausted his strength. Instead, he swept his sword light with green radiance, shattering the four incoming beams of light. However, he was also shaken and forced to retreat repeatedly, his face flushed.

After retreating several steps.

The old man took a deep breath and looked around.

Having emerged from the cave, they had already killed three of the five younger members of the Zhou family who had attacked them. With their objective achieved, they had no desire to continue fighting.

Looking into the distance, several figures were riding the wind towards this place...

This place is relatively close to Qingyue Lake. If he were surrounded by several late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, he would die on the spot.

"retreat!"

He shouted and flung out a swarm of poisonous insects, forcing back the Zhou family cultivators who were about to pursue him.

Upon hearing this, the Wang family cultivators beside him retreated while fighting, and quickly regrouped.

"We can't let them get away!"

Zhou Qingyun took the lead and stepped forward, his body protected by seven beams of mysterious light. Any poisonous insects that came into contact with the light were instantly reduced to dust.

At the same time, he activated two talismans in his hand.

In an instant, they transformed into two roaring water dragons, rushing towards the royal family cultivators.

"Water Dragon Talisman..."

Old Wang's expression changed slightly.

He activated three talismans in succession, and earth-attribute spiritual energy condensed, transforming into three thick earth shields that blocked his way.

Three consecutive bangs.

The thick earth shield was shattered by the two water dragons, and mud splattered everywhere.

Zhou Qingyun was the first to rush out of the mud, only to see Wang Laogou leading five Wang family cultivators, riding on several streaks of green light, already about to leave the forest.

"Where do you think you're going!"

The jade mirror flew out of his hand at great speed, like the bright moon, and soared into the night sky.

In the blink of an eye, they had caught up with the Wang family cultivators.

puff puff!

Two Wang family cultivators were severed at the waist and fell from mid-air, creating a shower of blood.

After unleashing this attack, Zhou Qingyun's face turned pale, clearly indicating that the effect of his spiritual power was too great, leaving him with no power to pursue.

"Take this from Old Zhang!"

Zhang Dashan's towering figure suddenly leaped up from the forest, raised the iron rod high above his head, and smashed it down on a Wang family cultivator.

Zhang Dashan, true to his name, possesses a mountain-like stature that exudes a strong sense of oppression.

The Wang family cultivator he targeted had a cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

In the rush, I was first given a big fright.

Then, upon discovering that Zhang Dashan was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

A faint light flashed from the arm guards on his hands, and a dark shield appeared in front of him, colliding with the iron rod in Zhang Dashan's hand.

boom!

The loud impact not only caused Zhang Dashan to drop the iron rod from his hand, but also sent him flying backward.

In contrast, the Wang family cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining...

Clearly, he hadn't expected Zhang Dashan to be so powerful. Although he managed to block the blow, the shockwave disrupted his breathing and caused his internal organs to tremble.

Like a kite with a broken string falling from mid-air.

In an instant, several Zhou family cultivators caught up and attacked with various magical artifacts. Before he could even utter a scream, he was already dead.

Upon witnessing the tragic death of his kinsman, Wang Laogou's face darkened. He flicked his finger, and a black beetle flew out, heading straight for Zhang Dashan's left chest.

"Be careful!"

No sooner said than done.

Lu Yuan activated the golden light talisman in his hand, and the golden light flowed like water, protecting Zhang Dashan's chest.

The tiny black beetle plunged headfirst into the golden light, wriggled forward a few times, and then fell completely silent.

Then, the golden light dissipated.

The black beetle fell from the sky and landed with a thud on the ground, splashing its poisonous green liquid everywhere. Within a radius of about a foot, the grass withered and the leaves decayed.

After deflecting the old dog's fatal blow, Lu Yuan looked up.

The remaining three Wang family cultivators had already fled with their swords drawn, and their whereabouts were nowhere to be found.

"Dashan, what did I tell you before? Never act rashly. What you just did was no different from suicide. If it weren't for Xiao Lu's timely intervention, you would have been devoured by poisonous insects by now and wouldn't even know how you died."

The pharmacist spoke in a cold, low voice.

His tone was full of anger, yet also revealed concern.

"Brother Lu, that was really dangerous. Thank goodness you saved me."

Zhang Dashan was also somewhat frightened.

If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Golden Light Talisman, his bride would have been widowed before he even consummated their marriage on their wedding night.

Of course. Even if she wanted to remain a widow in the Zhou family, it would be absolutely impossible.

"I can save you once, but I can't save you every time. Dashan, remember this: bravery and recklessness are completely different."

Lu Yuan was also somewhat helpless.

How could he not know what Zhang Dashan was thinking?

They simply wanted to make a name for themselves in front of the Zhou family head in order to gain more resources.

However, this inevitably puts them in danger.

"Well done."

The tall cultivator from the Zhou family just now gave Zhang Dashan a thumbs up in praise.

Zhou Qingyun nodded and said, "Dashan, you have made a great contribution tonight. On behalf of the Zhou family, I promise that you will be rewarded."

He finished speaking.

Looking at the three corpses of Zhou family descendants on the ground, he said indignantly, "The Wang family has gone too far in bullying my Zhou family. If I don't avenge this, I, Zhou Qingyun, am not the head of the Zhou family."
