Chapter 54 054 The Enemy Comes Knocking

After Jiang Yan finished talking about that matter, she walked away, completely unaware that those few had later argued about how to arrange the order.

Sparks flew in the air, tensions were high!

The commotion was quite loud; a servant happened to pass by, overheard a few words, and then the news quickly spread.

"Miss Jiang's cultivation partner got into a fight over her!"

"Miss Jiang wants to cultivate with the two of them for one night..."

The news quickly spread throughout the Li residence, and Li Shu, sitting in his study, frowned as he listened to those outrageous remarks.

Li Shu frowned and said, "I raise them just so they can be so talkative?!"

The butler immediately coughed lightly and said, "I'll go out and reprimand them in a moment!"

Li Shu frowned and asked, "Have you found the additional herbs she mentioned during the day?"

Butler Wang nodded and said, "The medicine has been found, but we ran into a group of evil cultivators while searching for it."

Li Shu frowned: "Strengthen the barrier outside the mansion and try to conceal the aura inside."

"Know."

When Jiang Yan finished her walk and was about to go back to sleep, she saw a servant rushing towards her.

The man said politely, "Miss Jiang, Steward Wang said that the medicine you requested has been found. Please go to the medicine warehouse to take a look."

Jiang Yan nodded and followed the servant toward the medicine storehouse.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt there was a faint, eerie atmosphere in the air.

It seems that a barrier has been set up around the Li residence again.

The servant led the person to the door, saying, "Please come in."

Jiang Yan stepped inside, "Your Majesty..."

Before she could finish speaking, the door behind her was suddenly slammed shut, plunging the room into darkness.

The next second, a ghostly figure flashed in front of Jiang Yan!

Xiao Mei cried out in alarm: "Host, be careful!"

Jiang Yan frowned as a sharp palm strike came rushing towards her.

Without time to think, she quickly grabbed a magical artifact to block the overwhelming killing intent, and then swiftly moved aside.

The person in front of them quickly closed in!

"Jiang Yan, it's been a long time!"

Jiang Yan was startled when she heard the man's sinister voice. It turned out to be an old enemy.

But where would the original owner, a low-level flower cultivator, have enemies?

The opponent's level was far above hers, making it very difficult for her to deal with.

Xiao Mei cried out in her mind, "Host, he has set up a barrier around this house. If you continue to fight him, you will surely die. Quickly use your sea of ​​consciousness to summon those people to come to your rescue!"

Jiang Yan hurriedly asked, "How do I summon him?!"

"Try summoning it with your mind!"

Jiang Yan was distracted for a moment and was almost stabbed by the opponent's sword!

She quickly raised her longsword to meet the attack, barely managing to block it with her inner strength. With a clang, the swords struck each other, producing a crisp hum.

Jiang Yan crashed into the cabinet behind her, and a bloody smell instantly filled her mouth.

The man sneered, "I didn't realize you'd leveled up in such a short time! Too bad you're just a Golden Core cultivator; you're no match for me!"

Jiang Yan conjured the black iron sword in her hand, frowned, and asked, "Who are you, and why are you targeting me?"

"You don't need to know who I am. Just hand over the 'Heavenly Heart Glazed Lamp,' Dragon Blood Grass, Returning Origin Ginseng, and Thousand-Year-Old Lingzhi, and I'll let you go today! Otherwise..." The man's tone turned cold, "you'll only face death!"

Jiang Yan had no idea what the 'Heavenly Heart Glazed Lamp' he was talking about was. The only thing she was sure of was that this person wasn't just after her, but also after the others who had come with him.

She frowned slightly, trying to call out to those people in her mind! Suddenly, a white light flashed in her mind...

Xiao Mei screamed, "The gate to my sea of ​​consciousness has opened! Help!"

Distracted, Jiang Yan was stabbed in the left shoulder by the man's sword. She winced in pain, frowned, and staggered backward.

The man scoffed, "You're practically throwing an egg against a rock!"

At that moment, Lin Yun and the others were still arguing about who would take shifts that night. Almost simultaneously, Lin Yun, Dongfang Chen, Shen Yuchen, and 'Gongsun Jin' all heard Jiang Yan's distress signal in their minds.

They reacted quickly.

Lin Yun suddenly leaped into the air from the stone table, shouting, "Jiang Yan is in the medicine storeroom! She's in danger!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Coal Ball rushed towards the Li family's medicinal herb warehouse like lightning.

Feng Qingyu and Shen Yuchen followed closely behind, while Dongfang Chen vanished in front of Ling Yue and Xiaobai in a flash.

Xiao Bai frowned and said to Ling Yue, "You go find the Li family, I'll go ahead!"

Meiqiu, Lin Yun, Feng Qingyu, Shen Yuchen, Dongfang Chen, and Xiaobai arrived one after another outside the medicinal herb warehouse. Looking at the impenetrable barrier, the group frowned.

They tried to break through the barrier, but to no avail.

Inside the barrier, Jiang Yan managed to barely hold on until now by placing a poison pill into the opponent's eye at the opportune moment.

The other person raised a hand to wipe the blood from the corner of their mouth and sneered, "Is this all the tricks you know?"

He approached Jiang Yan with his sword drawn: "Since you can't understand human language, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

At the critical moment, Li Shu and Steward Wang rushed over.

Li Shu raised his hand and summoned a magical artifact, instantly illuminating the unbreakable barrier with a dazzling light.

Dongfang Chen and the others quickly seized the opportunity and launched a combined attack, causing the barrier to collapse instantly.

With a leap, the coal ball swiftly sank into Jiang Yan's body, merging with her. With the help of the Taotie's power, Jiang Yan stabbed the man in the lower abdomen with a powerful sword strike!

Steward Wang quickly led the cultivators in the courtyard to launch a group attack.

After the barrier was breached and Jiang Yan struck him with her sword, the opponent's power immediately leaked out like a burst dam.

Lin Yun used his snake tail to grab the longsword in the hand of a nearby cultivator and struck him in the heart.

The man instantly threw his sword toward Jiang Yan. Lin Yun turned and pounced on Jiang Yan, his snake tail flicking to precisely hook the sword aimed at her. The blade unexpectedly left a bloody gash on his abdomen.

However, he had no time to worry about that at the moment.

The man in black raised his hand and conjured several sharp blades, which shot straight toward them.

Jiang Yan's eyes narrowed, and she swiftly summoned the 'Myriad Tribulations Soul-Protecting Lamp' in her hand. Thousands of rays of light quickly enveloped everyone in the arena. Sharp blades collided with the lamp's light, emitting a piercing buzzing sound, and finally all fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Feng Qingyu crushed the poison in the middle and pushed the man with a palm.

In an instant, the man in black seemed to transform into a wisp of black smoke and vanish into the air, leaving only his black clothes behind.

Butler Wang frowned and said, "It was actually a clone! It disappeared so cleanly that even the Soul-Chasing Technique couldn't be used."

Jiang Yan frowned. No wonder she had no recollection of this person. It must be that this person's identity was different every time he appeared.

Legend has it that those who can refine an avatar are only one step away from ascension.

Jiang Yan was somewhat puzzled. Where exactly did the original owner attract such enemies?

The disappearance of this clone will still have some impact on the original body, so it seems the other party will have to stop for a while.

Looking at Jiang Yan's injuries, Butler Wang frowned and asked, "Is Miss Jiang alright?"

Jiang Yan shook her head. Compared to almost losing her life, this injury was nothing to worry about.

She tilted her head slightly, meeting Li Shu's emotionless gaze, and said solemnly, "Thank you for your help."

Li Shu said calmly, "Don't overthink it. If something happens to you in my residence, wouldn't that leave me with the stigma of harming my former Daoist partner?"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out: "Since everything is alright, everyone should go back and rest early. We can talk about anything else tomorrow."

Soon, Jiang Yan and the others returned to their respective rooms.

She chased the birds out of the room and was just about to take off her clothes to treat her wounds when she heard a knock on the door.

"who?"

"It's me."
