Dao Companions Help Me Live Forever

Chapter 143: Training

There is a new real person stationed in Shangyang City.

The new real person is very mysterious.

No one has seen his true face, and even his gender is unknown. He doesn't have a Daoist title, he just calls himself Yu.

Excess Yu.

Unlike the previous Dan Yang real person's approach of governing by inaction, this Yu real person is ruthless. He shows no mercy to those who oppose him and wipes out their families without hesitation.

He has been living on Shangyang Mountain for a long time, even more reclusive than the Dan Yang real person. No one has seen him come down the mountain.

Under him, there is a high-level body cultivator named Xiao Shenjiang, rumored to have reached the third stage of power.

In less than a year since coming to Shangyang City, he has single-handedly destroyed several Foundation Building forces. The situation in Shangyang City is more tragic than having experienced a beast tide.

The remaining survivors are trembling in fear.

The new eight major aristocratic families of Shangyang City have not yet reached a conclusion and have quickly become history. Now, only the Lord's Mansion remains, declaring its sovereignty.

The Lord's Mansion used to be managed by the disciples of the Dan Yang real person.

Even Zhao Laozu has served as the Lord for more than ten years. It was an auxiliary service organization that was inconspicuous and had no presence.

But after the new real person arrived, the Lord's Mansion became a complete hegemonic organization.

The new Lord is Xiao Shenjiang, and the cultivation families inside and outside the city either fled or submitted to the Lord's Mansion and became its servants.

Everything is in chaos, and the world is changing.

The remaining six major cultivation families, Jiang, Lin, Wan, Zhang, Wu, and Chen, have all been incorporated into the Lord's Mansion and become independent departments under its control.

The whole Shangyang City has been completely transformed, and a new outer city is being urgently constructed.

It is said that Yu dislikes the slums for being unsightly.

As for the impact of the beast tide and the destruction of the outer city, no one dares to mention it in front of the Lord, who is covered in blood.

Just consider it as paying money to please Yu.

Even though everyone knows that Yu doesn't like to come down the mountain.

As for the insignificant news of the Land Department's archives catching fire in the midst of these earth-shattering changes, it is considered trivial.

...

In the blink of an eye, it has been two years since the new real person took office.

The storm caused by the new real person has affected even the Zhao family.

Because the new Lord's Mansion no longer engages in high-end commodity wholesale, not even earning spirit stones, the most obvious change is the increase in the price of storage bags.

From now on, one less storage bag will be sold.

Second-stage or higher talismans, ores, spirit wood, and so on, all have increased in price.

The goods from the Shangyang Sect suddenly stopped, and now, even if someone wants to stick their neck out to be slaughtered, they may not have the opportunity.

It is said that Foundation Building cultivators are discussing the formation of long-distance caravans, crossing the Ten Thousand Demon Branch, and doing business as second-rate merchants.

But all of this has nothing to do with Yu Xian.

Yulan's journey of training is coming to an end, and his two-year-long behavior of following her like a fool can finally come to an end.

Hongye Town.

It was founded by a Foundation Building wandering cultivator, and later settled down, had children, and established the hundred-year-old Ye family.

The old ancestor of the Ye family has long since passed away, and the strongest person in the town has become Ye Que, a Qi Refining perfection cultivator.

Apart from him, there are four Qi Refining late-stage cultivators in the clan, as well as thirty to forty Qi Refining mid-stage servants and clan members. They are the strongest force in the entire Hongye Town.

With such strength, the Ye family is an undisputed local tyrant in Hongye Town, always exploiting the residents and treating them like slaves.

During the aftermath of the beast tide, when a second-stage demonic beast passed through, the Ye family fled without fighting, causing over a thousand residents of the town to be devoured by the demonic beasts.

Later, when the beast tide subsided, the Ye family returned to Hongye Town in a grand manner.

Although they are still the masters of Hongye Town, they have also caused dissatisfaction among the people below.

They were willing to let the Ye family exploit them on ordinary days because they hoped that when a crisis came, someone would be able to protect them.

Even if they couldn't win, at least they wanted to put on a show in front of them.

So when the disciples of the Moon True Sect contacted them, some people quickly switched sides and willingly became insiders. When the Ye family's protective formation was activated, they directly opened a gap, allowing the Moon True Sect to attack and enter.

The ancestral home of the Ye family.

The battle was nearing its end. The head of the family, Ye Que, had disheveled hair and held a piece of earth seal in his hand, pouring his mana into it without hesitation. In the air, the earth spikes condensed one by one.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The dense earth spikes shot out in all directions like javelins.

"Die! All of you die, you bunch of bitches!"

Suddenly, a colorful flower basket floated in mid-air. The petals of the flower basket scattered, instantly turning into a shower of flowers, blocking the path of the earth spikes.

Although the flower petals seemed delicate, when they met the earth spikes, both disintegrated simultaneously, turning into specks of spiritual energy that dissipated.

Then the flower basket fell into the hands of a delicate and petite woman. A hint of determination flashed across her face.

With a wave of her hand, she activated her mana, causing the flower basket to spin and directly smash towards Ye Que.

A colorful radiance descended from the flower basket, and the air was filled with a pleasant fragrance, as if experiencing the scent of a hundred flowers in an instant.

Ye Que had already activated his protective aura, but he couldn't block this fragrance.

By the time he realized that his mind was dizzy and his mana was stagnant, it was already too late.

"You bitch, you used poison!"

He became furious, and the earth seal in his hand rose into the sky, rapidly expanding until it reached a radius of several zhang.

"Die!"

The huge earth seal collided with the flower basket, causing ripples to ripple through the air.

"Now is the time!"

The woman shouted.

Behind her, a voluptuous beauty and a pure-looking young girl simultaneously formed hand seals. In an instant, a crescent-shaped radiance flashed through the air.

Ye Que exerted all his strength to activate his spell, but with the flower poison in his body, he couldn't avoid it at all.

Clang!

The crescent radiance dissipated. It was a small crescent-shaped blade that struck Ye Que, but it failed to achieve any effect.

However, the force of the crescent blade caused Ye Que's clothes to burst open, revealing a piece of earth-yellow inner armor that he wore close to his body.

Ye Que spat out a mouthful of blood, but also took the opportunity to regain his clarity. A flash of light enveloped his body as he attempted to escape.

Ding!

Just at that moment.

Ye Que felt as if his neck had been bitten by a mosquito. He covered his neck and his whole body fell into paralysis.

Seeing this, the woman smiled faintly. "Yue'er, your Tail Needle is becoming more and more powerful."

"It's the power of the magical artifact," Yue'er replied. Then, the young girl extended her hand, and a thin needle as fine as a cow's hair appeared in her hand.

"Elder Yu said that this poison needle condenses the venom from the stingers of three thousand Poison King Bees. Even if a Foundation Building cultivator accidentally gets pricked, they will be paralyzed for a breath of time. Ye Que is only at the Qi Refining stage, and he's already so old. After being poisoned by Sister Yue's Hundred Flowers Poison and your Cold Moon Slash, I was able to launch a surprise attack on him."

Ye Que's lips turned blue, trembling as he said, "Master Liu, the misunderstanding between the Ye family and your esteemed sect has already been explained. It was just a misunderstanding. Why did you suddenly attack us?"

"A misunderstanding?" Master Liu snorted coldly. "My disciples from the Moon True Sect came to your Red Leaf Town to visit their relatives, but they were secretly ambushed and violated by the young members of your Ye family. Afterwards, their bodies were thrown onto the streets. My disciple's family cried for justice in public, but afterwards, their whole family was tragically killed. Can this be explained by just a misunderstanding?"

"I can compensate..."

Ye Que wanted to say something more, but he saw Master Liu move her finger, and the silver crescent blade swept across his head, causing a large red head to fall onto the dusty ground.

"Xiao Hong, Master Liu has avenged you."

A blurry smile flashed through Master Liu's mind. She remembered that the girl was very cute, with a round face and a fondness for apples. Her voice was sweet when she called her Master Liu.
