Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

"Is this person really Zou Biaoguo?" Zhang Yuanjing asked, looking at the rather disheveled back of the white-robed youth, turning his head.

"Immortal Master is wise, it is indeed that scoundrel," Zhang Xuan replied, rising to her feet, a glint of hatred in her eyes.

However, seeing that Zhang Yuanjing had only repelled Zou Biaoguo casually and hadn't delivered a fatal blow, she tried her best to control her emotions and didn't say too much.

"Twenty years of cultivation, only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, just average. However, for a small sect, it's not bad," Zhang Yuanjing said with a smile. "Since this person's family is an appendage of the Tongyun Palace and he himself has decent aptitude, he should be favored by the elder he apprenticed to. I'm letting him go back to meet this Tongyun Palace elder!"

Zhang Xuan was meticulous, but she didn't know the intricacies of the cultivation world. She only thought that Zhang Yuanjing wanted to test the strength of Tongyun Palace before deciding on the next course of action. However, after today's events, the Zhang family had essentially stood on the opposite side of Tongyun Palace. If this Immortal Master she relied on was indecisive or even vacillating, the Zhang family would definitely suffer the tragedy of extermination.

Thinking like this, she couldn't help but feel worried and fearful, and a sorrowful expression appeared on her face. She could only force herself to say, "Immortal Master is considering everything thoroughly, it should be so."

Only then did Zhang Yuanjing realize that today's events were rather strange, so he asked, "Why did Zou Biaoguo lead people to chase and kill you two siblings?"

Zhang Xuan was originally both sad and worried, but when she heard Zhang Yuanjing's question, tears immediately fell. "Reporting to Immortal Master, today, this little girl was fishing on the Red Creek River with my second brother, third brother, and several collateral uncles and brothers when the Zou family suddenly arrived in boats and attacked us. Their boats were large, and their weapons and rockets were all complete. We were caught off guard, and our boats and fishing tools were all burned. Several collateral uncles and brothers were injured and fell into the river, disappearing without a trace.

"Only I led my two younger brothers and struggled to swim to the shore. My third brother is young and swallowed several mouthfuls of the cold river water, falling unconscious on the shore. Zhang Cheng and I couldn't take care of rescuing him, and we fled all the way to Divine Sword Peak. My third brother, wuwuwu, must have been captured by them, and I don't know if he's dead or alive. And those uncles and brothers, although they have some martial arts skills, that section of the Red Creek River has rapid currents and bone-chilling cold water. I think they are mostly in mortal danger! Immortal Master, wuwuwu…"

As Zhang Xuan spoke, sorrow came from within, and she finally couldn't help but cry loudly, tears streaming down her face. Zhang Cheng on the side also had tears in his eyes, sobbing.

Zhang Yuanjing had cultivated for many years and was used to the indifference of cultivators. He had never seen such a scene before, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He quickly said, "Girl, don't cry first, don't cry first… Things have come to this, things have come to this, this old Daoist will take you to rescue them. After all, it's just a martial arts family, not a tiger's den or a dragon's pool. Just go and take a look, and you'll know the situation. As for those who fell into the river, first send people to search downstream, maybe you can find them. Alas, don't cry anymore…"

After crying for a while, Zhang Xuan saw that Zhang Yuanjing's concern didn't seem fake and that he really intended to help, and she was immediately relieved. Her crying gradually subsided, turning into sobs. "Immortal Master shows mercy, this little girl is extremely grateful!"

Zhang Yuanjing shook his head and suddenly understood that while he was still testing the waters, Zhang Xuan had already formed a bloody feud, with no room for maneuver. He immediately said, "You two wait here first, I'll pack up, and then we'll go to Mengshan Town."

Originally, he didn't plan to stay in this peak for a long time. The cave he had dug was very simple and didn't have many things. He only hastily collected the spiritual plants he had displayed, erased the traces of habitation and aura to prevent being plotted against by someone with ulterior motives, and then left the cave. He summoned his flying sword, wrapped the Zhang siblings with his mana, created a cloud of white mist, and soared into the sky, flying straight down the mountain to the town.

Moreover, the Zhang siblings, although they had seen Zhang Yuanjing take action several times, were ignorant and confused, and they didn't have a strong and clear direct understanding of his strength as an "immortal."

This time, riding the clouds and mist, flying through the air, really scared them enough, but it also made them understand that the title of "Immortal Master" was not given in vain. This flying skill is indeed the most praised aspect of "immortals"!

At this point, Zhang Xuan was relieved, knowing that she had made the right bet. The Zhang family and herself had a real reliance, and she couldn't help but feel a little more dependent on Zhang Yuanjing.

"Where does the Zou family live in the town?" To avoid shocking the world, Zhang Yuanjing specially created a cloud of mist to shield them. The Zhang siblings naturally couldn't see the situation below clearly, so he had to ask for a general location first.

"They're in the west of the city. His family's mansion is easy to find, with vermilion high-rise buildings, thousands of rooms, and covering nearly two thousand acres!" Zhang Xuan said very quickly, her words revealing hatred. The last few words were almost gnashed out between her silver teeth.

"Heh! It seems that this Zou family has done a lot of forced buying and selling, and land grabbing!" Zhang Yuanjing understood why Zhang Xuan was so indignant as soon as he heard this.

"Immortal Master is wise. Although this Zou family is also a large family in Mengshan Town, their residence was originally only two or three hundred acres. In the past twenty years, they have used all means, including coercion, intimidation, and enticement, to continuously encroach on the houses of the surrounding townspeople, which is how they have their current scale. Moreover, they are insatiably greedy and are still constantly expanding. The town government and the officials in the state city don't dare to interfere. If this continues, I'm afraid the entire Mengshan Town will become the Zou family's!"

Zhang Xuan seemed to have adapted to the weightlessness brought by the flight, and she spoke more fluently, wishing she could tell all of the Zou family's evil deeds from beginning to end.

"Alas, if cultivators are involved with the mortal world, it will cause such evil deeds. This problem cannot be solved by the government!" Zhang Yuanjing sighed softly, but didn't say much.

Where would cultivators care about the suffering of mortals? Relying on the background of the Tongyun Palace, the Zou family ran rampant and did evil in the secular world. Even if the cultivators of the Tongyun Palace knew about it, they would just laugh it off.

As long as the Zou family could regularly offer the things needed by the Tongyun Palace, why would they care about those "trivial matters."

Mengshan Town was only a few dozen miles away from Divine Sword Peak. Zhang Yuanjing flew with his sword and arrived above the town in a short time.

The Zou family's mansion was grand in scale and very conspicuous. He spotted its location at a glance. From the gate inward, there was a vermilion and yellow high-rise building, which seemed to be an important place in his mansion, so he descended straight towards that place.

In the eyes of the people below, a cloud of white mist descended from the sky, which was very strange. Most of them thought that some monster was causing trouble, and many people immediately shouted "A monster is coming", "Quickly go to Chongyuan Temple to call the Taoist priest", "Quickly report to the government" and the like.

When they saw the white mist fall into the Zou family, it became quiet instead. Some people ran far away and looked into the Zou family's mansion from high places, but few shouted anymore.

Of course, there were also some clever people who became active instead, rushing to the government and Taoist temple.

"We're here, this poor Daoist is about to descend the flying sword!"

As Zhang Yuanjing's voice fell, the clouds and mist covering the three of them "poof" dissipated. Before them was a courtyard about an acre in size, with a pavilion more than ten zhang high in the courtyard, shining with golden light under the sunlight.

The three of them had landed steadily on the blue stone slabs on the road. The Zhang siblings only felt like they were in a dream, but the figures flying in from all directions and the strong sound of breaking through the air quickly awakened them. They revealed their weapons and nervously scanned their surroundings.

"What kind of evildoer dares to be presumptuous in the Zou family… Eh, Zhang Xuan, Zhang Cheng, it's you? You are…" A black-clothed man in his thirties arrived first. As soon as he landed, he shouted loudly, but seeing that it was the Zhang siblings and a tall, gaunt middle-aged Taoist, he was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were full of suspicion when he looked at Zhang Yuanjing.

This person was the head of the Zou family's courtyard guards, named Zheng Sanlong. He was a first-class expert in the martial arts world of the Red Creek Kingdom. He was optimistic about the future of Zou Biaoguo, the young master of the Zou family, so he condescended to Mengshan Town and became a courtyard guard for the Zou family.

In the morning, the young master asked him to send a dozen good players to capture the Zhang siblings with him. It was already afternoon, and the young master had not returned, but the Zhang siblings had come to his door, and they were brought from the sky by a Taoist. This made him feel a sense of crisis in his heart, and he was also full of vigilance towards this mysterious Taoist.

"Head Zheng, why don't you take action? Just these two little dolls who still smell of milk, I…" At this time, several skilled guards had surrounded them. One of them was impatient. Seeing that there were only the Zhang siblings and a tall Taoist in the field, he wanted to take action to capture them and grab the first credit.

Zheng Sanlong glared at him fiercely, then cupped his hands towards Zhang Yuanjing and bowed, asking cautiously, "May I ask this Taoist, which Taoist temple do you usually teach the Dharma in?"

"Hehe, this poor Daoist is just a wandering Taoist, and I have never entered any Taoist temple. This poor Daoist asks you, where is the Zhang family boy that your Zou family caught this morning?" Zhang Yuanjing was too lazy to talk nonsense with this person, so he directly asked about the whereabouts of Zhang Xuan's third brother.

"Oh, Taoist, have you traveled here from another country? Have you ever been to the Tongyun Immortal Palace downstream of the Red Creek River?" Zheng Sanlong was not provoked by Zhang Yuanjing's rudeness, but said neither humble nor arrogant.

"Hmph, this poor Daoist doesn't even care about the Tongyun Palace. I'll ask you again, where is the Zhang family boy? Hand him over immediately!"

Zhang Yuanjing glared, and his aura burst forth. An invisible aura suddenly opened, pushing back the dozen or so guards who had surrounded the three of them. Everyone's expressions changed, looking at Zhang Yuanjing in fear, no longer with their original fierce arrogance.

"What a big tone, you don't even care about the Tongyun Immortal Palace. I, Zou, want to see what kind of deity you are!" A strong and powerful voice came from outside the courtyard wall.

Immediately, a burly man wearing a blue top and black trousers, carrying a three-foot broadsword, strode out of the doorway. Behind him were four strong men, wearing silver armor and holding various weapons.

"It's the Zou family's Five Tigers!" Zhang Xuan's breathing suddenly became rapid. "The one in the lead is Zou Botao, the head of the Zou family. The four behind him are his brothers. The Zou family's affairs are decided by the five of them."

At this time, Zhang Yuanjing had already used his divine sense to inspect the Zou family's mansion back and forth. He saw a lot of dirty things, and also found several very secret water prisons and dungeons, but he didn't see any young man who looked like Zhang Xuan's third brother being imprisoned anywhere.

Zou Botao was still several zhang away, and he had already sternly ordered, "What are you still standing there for? Charge! Just kill an ignorant demon Taoist with random cuts!"

The dozen or so guards looked at each other, and finally looked at Zheng Sanlong. Zheng Sanlong didn't say a word, standing in place like a nail, not moving forward a step.

Everyone immediately understood his meaning, and couldn't help but hesitate in their hearts. A few people were intimidated by Zou Botao's past tyranny, and they were ready to move, raising the weapons in their hands and slowly moving forward, but they were waiting for the Zou family's Five Tigers to come up.

Zou Botao was also a good martial artist, watching in all directions and listening in all directions. He had already seen the abnormalities of the dozen or so guards. However, he had always been used to being tyrannical, and he had never seen the scene of Zhang Yuanjing and the three of them riding the clouds and mist, so how could he put an unknown Taoist in his eyes? He first glared coldly at Zheng Sanlong, then raised the broadsword in his hand and rushed towards Zhang Yuanjing and the three of them.

On the other hand, the Zou family's Four Tigers in the rear probably thought that their elder brother was enough to deal with the three of them, so they only stopped to watch the excitement. Among the guards, three or four who were blinded by greed also waved the weapons in their hands and killed towards the three of them.

"Those who commit many unrighteous acts will destroy themselves. It's good that all five evil tigers are here, so I don't have to look for them everywhere. I'll send you all on your way together!"

Zhang Yuanjing came here, saving people was only one aspect, more importantly, he wanted to truly subdue the Zhang siblings and make them willing to work for him.

He immediately summoned a flying sword, and with a soft shout of "Go", a white light moved like an electric snake, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right. Then, screams rang out in succession in the field. In the blink of an eye, the Zou family's Five Tigers and the guards who had taken action all fell down, clutching their necks, their heads rolling on the ground, and hot blood splattered all over the place. The courtyard was immediately filled with a strong bloody smell.

"Flying… flying sword!" The other guards were shocked. Some fled in panic, some stood there blankly, shivering, and some clever ones quickly knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Zheng Sanlong reacted the fastest. As soon as the flying sword appeared, he lifted a breath of internal energy and used his lightness skill to fly towards the outside of the wall.

However, with just a flash of white light, his strong body was cut into two pieces, and he couldn't even let out a scream. The flying sword didn't chase the other escapees, and let them go.

The Zhang siblings were also pale and shocked. It took a long time for them to react. Their great revenge for killing their father had been avenged in this way, and the great enemy they had feared every day had died. The long-tense hearts suddenly relaxed.

Zhang Xuan covered her face and sat down on the ground, sobbing softly, "Father, your great revenge has finally been avenged…"

Zhang Cheng squatted beside her, holding her shoulders with both hands, tears also falling from his eyes.

Zhang Yuanjing reached out and grabbed the flying sword, then said to the guards kneeling in the courtyard, "Get out of here, if there are any more evil deeds of helping the wicked, I will definitely kill you without mercy!"
