The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 24 Ambush (Please collect and continue reading)

The sky was still dimly lit, and the street was incredibly quiet, with only occasional faint sounds of wheels rolling over the stone slabs.

In a small courtyard on Yangchun Street, the door quietly opened a crack, and soon a figure dressed in a gray robe slipped out from behind the door.

This figure was none other than Chen Ling.

A faint mist enveloped the outside of the door.

He first scanned the street vigilantly, but didn't see any figures, so he quietly closed the door.

After observing for more than ten days, he had already grasped the general whereabouts of Zhu Laoliu and Hu Qing.

Every three or four days, they would come here to find the female cultivators of Tianxiang Courtyard.

They hadn't come to Yangchun Street in the past two days, so they were likely to come last night.

And today, with the foggy weather, it was a good opportunity!

Taking advantage of the absence of pedestrians on the street, he quickly took out a small, delicate, and thin as a cicada's wing jade cosmetic mask.

This was a middle-grade magical tool, the Illusion Jade Mask, made by fusing a first-grade middle-grade fluorescent jade with a fifth-level magical restriction and a true illusion magical restriction.

It was also one of the ten magical tools that the Duobao Pavilion had entrusted him to refine.

He had also refined one for himself as a backup.

Wearing the mask, he could instantly transform into a different face, while also shielding his divine sense, even a cultivator in the early Foundation Building stage might not be able to see through it.

In order to completely resolve the trouble this time, he had made many preparations.

He was wearing a top-grade robe, containing a sixth-level Rock Defense magical restriction and a third-level Wind Control magical restriction.

Even if he couldn't kill Zhu Laoliu, he could easily escape.

In addition, he had plenty of Flame Thunder Beads in his hands.

Thinking about it, he unconsciously realized that he already had so many means at his disposal, which made him calm down from his originally nervous state.

After putting on the mask, his face turned into that of a rough and strong man in his forties.

It was still early in the morning, and there were few people on the street. Taking advantage of the lack of attention, he quickly walked out of Yangchun Street and headed towards the outskirts of the market.

The gray robe he was wearing was not conspicuous at all in the hazy fog.

After cautiously leaving the market, he quickly turned into a small alley along the main road.

The alley was gloomy and dim, and if it weren't for being forced, Chen Ling wouldn't easily take the risk of coming to such a place!

After walking for dozens of meters, he leaped over a courtyard wall and entered an uninhabited dilapidated house.

This was the route Zhu Laoliu and the others would take to go to Yinye Lane.

It was also the best hiding place he had found after investigating for these days.

There were no tenants around!

If something happened, no one would discover it in the first place.

Of course, even if there were tenants, most of them wouldn't dare to come out.

This kind of killing happened every day on the outskirts of the market, and no one would pay attention to such trivial matters!

Finding a clean spot, he sat on the ground. Although he had traveled through several years, he had never truly killed a person, but he had killed demonic beasts with his old father-in-law.

To be honest, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but when he thought about how this matter was related to the safety of this family, he absolutely couldn't make any mistakes.

Once these two people escaped, the subsequent troubles would be even more troublesome.

Chen Ling thought of this and sighed helplessly, "In these years, I have always been cautious, not offending anyone, not causing any trouble, minding my own business every day, working hard to refine tools and earn spirit stones, but even so, trouble still comes knocking on my door."

"I should learn one or two practical combat skills in the future!"

The world is like this, and he has no choice!

He can only make himself stronger as soon as possible in order to live a stable life.

The fog gradually dissipated, and the sky became brighter.

The main road gradually became bustling.

Chen Ling cautiously observed the situation in the alley through the broken window of the dilapidated house.

After a stick of incense, the sun gradually rose, and the fog dissipated completely.

"Zhu Daoyou, the new fairy that arrived today is quite impressive, skilled in all eighteen martial arts!"

Hu Qing walked ahead, yawning but with a lewd expression on his face.

"Indeed, she's really good. I can't bear to leave her, but I'm running out of spirit stones. Your fat neighbor, the sheep, hasn't shown up recently. Looks like we need to find a new target!"

A similarly lewd voice chuckled.

The speaker was a burly man with a stubble beard, but with dark circles under his eyes, clearly a victim of excessive indulgence.

"Could it be that he noticed us last time?"

"Not likely. I was just testing the waters, there's no way he could have found out!"

"I envy that lucky kid. His cultivation is not high, yet he spends his days with two beautiful wives at home!" Hu Qing looked envious.

"Don't worry, everything will be ours sooner or later! That woman is definitely a spirited horse, riding her will be quite enjoyable!" Zhu Lao Liu stroked his beard, a lewd smile on his face.

Just as he was about to share his insights from last night with Hu Qing, he suddenly felt a disturbance ahead, a sense of danger. He jolted and looked towards the broken house ahead.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Flames burst forth.

The two who were just talking about love and romance heard the thunderous sound and were stunned. Then a terrifying flame swept towards them.

Before Hu Qing could react, he was struck by a lightning ray, his body exploding, blood and flesh splattering everywhere. In the blink of an eye, he met a tragic end.

But Zhu Lao Liu's robe automatically triggered a defensive shield, a layer of golden light blocking the oncoming flames.

Although he was blasted away, he managed to avoid disaster.

"Who!" Zhu Lao Liu spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with horror as he shouted!

However!

In the next moment, two streams of red light whizzed towards him.

Two fire and lightning orbs exploded around him.

The flames mixed with thunderous strikes were unstoppable, heavily bombarding the golden shield with cracking sounds.

The shield burst open!

The flames and thunder continued their momentum, directly engulfing Zhu Lao Liu.

His body exploded, his head flying high into the sky, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Unable to believe it.

He had always been the one ambushing others.

But now, he died without even seeing his opponent's shadow.

Chen Ling leaped out of the broken house, not daring to stay for a moment, and disappeared around the corner.

After circling around a small circle, changing his appearance, he finally reentered the market.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect the power of the fire and lightning orbs to be so great! If I had known, three would have been enough!"

This time, to be safe, he used up five orbs at once.

With the attack power of the fire and lightning orbs comparable to the sixth level of Qi Refining, not to mention Hu Qing and Zhu Lao Liu, even a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator would find it hard to escape.

"Unfortunately, I left in a hurry earlier and didn't check their storage bags!"

Chen Ling shook his head again. Even if these two perverts had something valuable on them, it had probably been drained by the female cultivators of the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion.

Chen Ling proceeded cautiously, and before long, he passed through the block and returned home.

From then on, Chen Ling's mood relaxed, and his life returned to normal.

Everything became peaceful.

Every day, he refined tools, cultivated, and worked hard to branch out and grow.
