How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

Inside the main hall of the Jiang family...

The patriarch of the Jiang family sat in the main seat, with Jiang Shouyi's eldest uncle and second uncle sitting on either side below.

The eldest uncle is the current head of the Jiang family, and he is usually calm and serious. But at this moment, his eyes were red, his lips were tightly pursed, and his Adam's apple bobbed several times.

"Shouyi," he said in a hoarse voice, "you've suffered this past month...

Jiang Shouyi shook his head: "Uncle, I'm not suffering. Ruyu and Xiao'an are suffering more than me."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a person rushed into the hall, whose face bore a striking resemblance to Jiang Shouyi.

Upon seeing the three children, Jiang Changfeng wiped away his tears and asked angrily, "Shouyi, who took you away?"

"Father, please sit down first, I'll tell you slowly." So, Jiang Shouyi recounted the whole story, from how the group was captured after leaving the house, to how the Qin family bled them out and extracted their spiritual essence, to how Ning Tian and the others rescued them.

Old Master Jiang and the rest of the Jiang family approached Ning Tian and his companions. The old man cupped his hands and said, "I am Jiang Tianyou." He then solemnly bowed to the five of them, saying, "My entire Jiang family thanks you young heroes for saving our grandson."

Ning Tian and the others quickly stepped aside, refusing to accept the greeting.

Before they could react, Jiang Changfeng and his wife had already knelt down before the five people. Zhou Shi sobbed uncontrollably, "My benefactors, if it weren't for you, our children would probably be gone. We have no way to repay this great kindness."

Ning Tian, ​​Kun Kun, the monk, and the others quickly stepped forward to help them up, saying, "This is what we should do. We would have helped anyone else too."

At this moment, Old Master Jiang spoke up: "You young heroes have been so kind in helping us. From now on, if you have any needs, as long as it is within the capabilities of my Jiang family, my Jiang family will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Grandpa Jiang, there's really no need for this."

"Young heroes, this is a token from my Jiang family. If you ever need anything in the future, simply bring this token to my Jiang family."

Ning Tian and the others exchanged glances, then pushed the token back: "Take it back, we really don't need it!"

"Alright! If you need anything in the future, you young heroes can just come to my Jiang family."

At this moment, Uncle Jiang Changqing said, "The Qin family is so vicious, we must not let them off easily. Our Jiang family will not let this grudge go."

Upon hearing this, Kun Kun stepped forward and said, "Uncle Shouyi, the Qin family has already been wiped out by us."

Jiang Tianyou gripped his cane tightly, the crying in the hall stopped abruptly, and everyone turned to look at Kun Kun.

Kun Kun looked at Jiang Tianyou and explained calmly, "Back then, we encountered Qin Jie from the Qin family. Seeing them being besieged by evil cultivators, we intervened and saved them. Later, he invited us to Shuize City. Upon arriving at the Qin residence, we discovered they also wanted to refine us into human pills. After that, we destroyed the Qin residence and rescued everyone."

Jiang Tianyou and the rest of the Jiang family remained silent for a long time, their hearts filled with shock. The people in front of them looked to be no more than their early twenties, some even in their teens, and one even only a few years old. They claimed to have wiped out the Qin family. How could this not shock them?

"Grandpa, Brother Kunkun didn't lie to you. I can testify that when we were rescued, the entire Qin mansion was in ruins," Jiang Shouyi said.

"Shouyi! It's not that the old man doesn't believe in you, it's just that this matter has surprised us too much. We never expected you to be so strong; truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"

"Grandpa Jiang, you're too kind. It was just a small favor," Kun Kun replied with a smile.

"Good riddance to those Qin family members! I never imagined they would dare to do such inhumane things. It's too good for them to die like this."

"Young heroes, now that you've arrived in Fengtian City, please settle in with our Jiang family for the time being. Tomorrow, I'll have Shouyi show you around Fengtian City."

"Alright, then we'll leave it to Patriarch Jiang. You all have a good chat with Shouyi and the others first, we'll head back to our guest rooms to rest."

"good!"

"Uncle Fu, take these young heroes down to rest."

The next day... the morning in Fengtian City began with the early market in the east of the city. Wisps of smoke rose from chimneys, and the aroma of food wafted along half the cobblestone street. Vendors selling breakfast, setting up stalls, and hawking spiritual materials... the entire city seemed to have been turned on, instantly becoming bustling with activity.

Jiang Shouyi and Uncle Fu led Ning Tian and his five companions, along with two spirit beasts, out of the Jiang residence.

The main street of Fengtian City is called Changle Street, which runs east-west through the entire city and is the most bustling place in the city.

The streets were lined with shops selling magical artifacts, elixirs, spiritual materials, talismans, and more—everything imaginable. The streets were teeming with people, a mix of cultivators and mortals, with shouts of vendors and the sounds of bargaining rising and falling.

Jiang Shouyi walked ahead, pointing and explaining as he went.

"That's Tianbao Pavilion over there, the largest spirit weapon shop in Fengtian City, belonging to an Emperor-level power in Central Continent. It's said that its shops are all over the entire Xuanhuang Continent..."

"This is Zuixianlou Restaurant; their spirit fish is the best..."

Mu Qingcheng saw a cosmetics shop and walked straight over: "You guys go ahead and browse, I'll come find you in a bit."

"Okay! Call us if you need anything."

Ning Tian walked slowly with his hands behind his back, his gaze casually sweeping over the shops on both sides. His face was expressionless, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

He rarely went shopping; in fact, he had almost never gone shopping in his life. But now, walking on Chang Le Street in Fengtian City, listening to the noisy hawking, smelling the aroma of food, and watching the cultivators coming and going, he suddenly felt that this was not so bad.

Xiao Ningyun was the most excited one in the group.

She held Lu Hou in one arm, with Jin Xiao perched on her shoulder. The little ones couldn't take it all in, curiously looking around at everything: there were vendors selling candied hawthorns on the left, roasted sweet potatoes on the right, and sugar figurines in front.

"Brother! I want to eat that magic potato!"

"Alright!" Ning Tian took out a spirit stone from his sleeve and handed it over.

The group chatted and laughed, eating and drinking along the way. However, Lu Hou in Xiao Ningyun's arms was too eye-catching, with its dragon-like and lion-like appearance attracting the attention of passersby.

And then—trouble ensued.

At the entrance of a three-story restaurant on Changle Street.

The restaurant, named "Yunlai Pavilion," was a notorious den of iniquity in Fengtian City. Those who could afford to dine there were either scions of prominent families or wealthy merchants.

At this moment, three young people were leaning against the railing on the second floor of Yunlai Pavilion.

The leader was dressed in a brocade robe embroidered with gold and python patterns, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist and a folding fan in his hand. His face was not ugly, but he had none of the airs typical of a spoiled young master.

This man is named Qian Shaobai, the eldest son of the Qian family in Fengtian City.

The Qian family is a first-class family in Fengtian City. Because Qian Shaobai's grandfather doted on his eldest grandson too much, he turned him into a good-for-nothing. His cultivation level is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, which was entirely achieved through the use of spiritual pills, and his actual combat ability is almost zero.

But his family is very rich.

At this moment, Qian Shaobai was listlessly fanning himself with a folding fan, his gaze aimlessly sweeping across the street—

Then, he saw Xiao Ningyun.

To be precise, he had his eye on Lu Hou, who was in Xiao Ningyun's arms.

Qian Shaobai's eyes lit up immediately.

He had seen many spirit beasts, but this was the first time he had ever seen one with such a peculiar appearance.

"Do either of you know what kind of spirit beast that is?"

"Young Master Qian, are you talking about the one that the little girl is holding? It looks strange, like a dragon but not a dragon, a bit like a lion but not quite, I don't know either."

"You two always say you're so amazing and know everything, don't you?" Qian Shaobai said with dissatisfaction. "You can't even tell the difference between a spirit beast and a spirit beast. You're really useless."
