The Longevity Family: Starting From The Branches And Leaves

Chapter 45: Li Yourong Strikes (Seeking to Read and Collect)

"Friend Chen, do you still have two Qi-Combining Pills with the Second Dan Mark? Can you give me two?" After finishing their meal, Li Yourong quietly pulled Chen Ling aside and asked with a smile.

Chen Ling took out a bottle of Qi-Combining Pills with the Second Dan Mark from his storage bag and handed it to her, saying with a smile, "I still have three bottles on me. If it's not enough, just let me know."

Sooner or later, she would be his wife, so it wouldn't hurt to give her something as a gift.

"Mhmm!" Li Yourong put away the pill bottle and nodded with a smile.

Then she entered the room.

"Husband, Li Yourong has been going out at night recently, and something seems off!" After Li Yourong entered the room, He Yunxiu's face showed a hint of worry as she quietly spoke to Chen Ling.

Although Chen Ling said there was nothing wrong, it was her intuition that sensed that something seemed to be amiss outside!

Having spent these few months with Li Yourong, she didn't treat her as an outsider, so naturally, she didn't want anything to happen to her!

"Is that so?" Chen Ling, who had just picked up Xiaoping'an, narrowed his eyes at her words.

Most of his time at night was spent either cultivating with his wives or practicing refining in the cultivation room.

Almost all the rooms were equipped with soundproof arrays, so he couldn't hear Li Yourong coming and going.

These past few days, Li Yourong had been going out almost every day during the day, and now she was going out at night as well. That was not a simple matter!

Although he rarely left the house, he could still sense the unrest outside from today's scene.

During the day, there were cultivators coming and going, so the situation might be slightly better.

But at night, there were noticeably fewer disciples from the Qingyang Sect patrolling, so the situation might only be slightly better than that in Hongye Lane.

"Could something be wrong?" He Yunxiu asked with concern when she saw Chen Ling's serious expression.

"It's fine. I believe she can handle it!" After thinking for a moment, Chen Ling instructed, "Yunxiu, Yuer, Lian, it's best for you not to go out recently. If there's anything we need at home, I'll go out and buy it!"

"We understand." He Yunxiu and the others nodded earnestly.

With another thought, Chen Ling realized that Li Yourong, with her personality, was probably already prepared to take action.

But why didn't she mention it to him?

Chen Ling was puzzled.

However, he had already promised Li Yourong to kill these two enemies, so naturally, he would follow through with his words.

And he never fought battles he wasn't confident in, preferring to eliminate danger at its inception.

This time, he trusted Li Yourong, so he didn't personally investigate.

But now, the situation was different.

Chen Ling's gaze shifted as he faintly felt Li Yourong's emotions fluctuating tonight. "Let's go with her to see what's going on tonight before making a decision!"

...

Late autumn had gradually arrived. In the dark night, the moonlight was dim, and a slight cold wind carried a chilling sense of killing intent.

Creak!

Hearing the sound of the gate opening, Chen Ling's gaze flickered, his expression solemn. He checked the Flame Thunder Beads in his storage bag and the Flowing Cloud Robe on his body to make sure everything was in order.

Then he quietly left the cultivation room with light footsteps.

Opening the gate silently, he followed closely behind a graceful figure.

The night was already deep.

The streets were incredibly quiet, with only the sound of rustling wind.

The figure in front quickly disappeared, skillfully hiding in the dark corners of the street.

In the dim night, it was difficult to notice unless one was observing carefully.

Although Chen Ling didn't have much experience in tracking, the Flowing Cloud Robe on his body made him as light as a swallow, moving silently and making it even harder to be detected.

Just as he had walked out of Yangchun Street, a team of night patrol guards passed by on the main road.

Li Yourong flashed and hid under the eaves of a nearby house, waiting silently for them to pass.

Only when she couldn't see their figures anymore did she continue on her way silently.

She walked in the shadows, like a nimble and agile spirit cat, not only agile and light, but also incredibly fast.

If it weren't for Chen Ling relying on his robe, he wouldn't be able to keep up at all.

The two of them were walking like this, one in front and one behind.

In the bustling market, after going around in circles for about a quarter of an hour, they arrived at a secluded small courtyard.

The appearance of this courtyard was no different from their own small courtyard.

Two dim lanterns hung in front of the gate, trembling in the cold wind.

Li Yourong cautiously scanned the surroundings with her eyes, then gracefully leaped into the courtyard like a nimble swallow, landing silently.

Inside the house, two crystal lamps hung, illuminating the entire small courtyard brightly.

"Who?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Yourong entered the courtyard, a stern shout followed.

It was obvious that there was a defensive formation set up in the courtyard.

As the voice fell, a figure in white walked out of the right wing of the courtyard.

It was a handsome young man wearing a white robe.

Behind him was a blushing woman, wearing a light red chest-length dress, with a snow-white front, and outstanding beauty.

"The person who wants your lives!"

Li Yourong shouted fiercely, and then chanted a spell in her mouth.

In the next moment.

With a bang, a silver stream of light flashed rapidly in mid-air.

Invisible thunder rays spewed out from the sword, like electric snakes, making a piercing sound.

"Li Yourong? You're not dead?"

The young man and woman recognized Li Yourong's face, their expressions changed drastically, almost simultaneously exclaiming in surprise.

The young man's face quickly returned to calm, suppressing his doubts, and said in a deep voice, "Li fellow daoist, please listen to my explanation!"

Li Yourong snorted coldly, not wanting to waste words, and directly shouted, "Fire Lotus Blossom!"

Immediately after, a fierce and unparalleled flame sword energy soared into the sky.

In the center of the flame, a blood-red fire lotus faintly appeared, with three petals that were a yard long, shining with sword patterns.

The surface was surrounded by thunder rays, exuding a faint sense of destruction.

"Go!"

Li Yourong pointed fiercely at the young man, and the flame sword lotus, like a thunderstorm, struck towards the young man.

The power was astonishing!

But after using this move, Li Yourong's face suddenly turned pale, her feet floating, and her body stumbled, almost falling.

The Thunderwood Sword was a top-grade magical weapon, and it had the inherent attribute of thunder. Once its thunder power was triggered.

Although its power was astonishing, it also consumed a great deal of energy.

"Seeking death!"

The young man's face was furious, and he shouted loudly.

But he also saw that the power of the flame sword energy was not weak, so he didn't directly confront it.

He chanted incantations in his mouth, and in an instant, a huge square-shaped black iron shield flew out and blocked in front of him.

"Xuan Iron Shield, protect!"

The young man shouted.

Immediately, the shield burst forth with a black light, rapidly expanding, reaching a size of two or three zhang, tightly protecting the man.

At the same time, the flame sword energy struck down, like a thunderstorm, sharp and unstoppable.

In the next moment!

The sword energy and the shield collided violently, and the rays of thunder, flame, and black iron flashed in the night sky, accompanied by the sound of thunder.

"This useless woman, after plotting for so many days, this is the result she came up with?"

Chen Ling, who was hiding on the courtyard wall, shook his head inwardly when he saw this scene.

Li Yourong didn't calculate anything at all, she just went for a head-on collision.

Even if she wanted to make a move, she should have chosen to attack when they were separated, and defeat them one by one.

Moreover, her mana hadn't fully recovered yet, so forcefully making a move like this would be difficult to achieve the desired effect, and she might even end up sacrificing herself.
