"It seems that they have indeed joined a small gang."
Lin Xiuyuan remained calm as he surveyed the group of cultivators before him.
There were seven people in total, including three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators and four mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, including Xu Dong.
Earlier, while he was inside the house, he had sensed the presence of various auras surrounding him.
However, it wasn't powerful enough to warrant much attention.
Of these three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, only one is at the eighth level of Qi Refining...
However, he was somewhat puzzled by this. He glanced at Xu Dong and felt that this person's bottom line was a bit too low.
But upon reflection, the world we live in is different now, so perhaps this is normal.
"Master Lin, I'm sorry, they heard the news, there's nothing I can do. Leave your Qiankun bag here, and you can leave this place safely!"
Xu Dong looked away, somewhat unable to meet Lin Xiuyuan's gaze directly, and said with a hint of dissuasion.
"If you know what's good for you, hurry up and don't force us to take action, otherwise..."
"What are you still looking at? Put down your storage bag and get out of here!"
"..."
The crowd roared angrily, their eyes fixed on Lin Xiuyuan with dangerous intent, as if they were ready to attack at any moment.
At this moment, Old Xu, who had heard the noise, opened the door and came out shakily.
Although he was seriously injured, he was a cultivator, not a mortal, and naturally heard the commotion outside.
Seeing this scene, Old Xu glared angrily at Xu Dong, his finger trembling as he pointed at him and roared:
"You unfilial son, are you trying to drive your father to his death?"
Seeing this, Xu Dong felt a pang of shame, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Father, I have failed to break through twice. If I fail a third time, there will be no hope left. What I lack is resources! Otherwise, I wouldn't have failed twice."
"Beihe Market will soon be captured. If I don't break through to the late stage of Qi Refining, I'm afraid I won't have any chance of surviving. Are you going to just watch the last son of the Xu family die out?"
"If you have to blame someone, blame your friend for being unlucky. He just walked right into my doorstep, and he happens to be a talisman master. Who else would I target if not him? Besides, I'm not trying to kill him, I'm just borrowing some resources."
Now that the pretense was over, Xu Dong stopped hiding his true intentions and looked directly at Lin Xiuyuan, saying, "I advise you to hurry up and put down the Qiankun bag to save your life, otherwise..."
"You unfilial son! You..."
Old Xu pointed at Xu Dong, his finger trembling uncontrollably. He felt a surge of blood and qi, dizziness, and his body swayed, almost losing his balance.
Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but reach out and support him.
"You're utterly ungrateful! Kobayashi just left you some resources, and you... you might as well kill me too."
Old Xu was furious and felt extremely sad. Cultivators are indeed heartless!
Xu Dong was taken aback, his eyes flickered for a moment, but then his resolve returned.
There's no point in saying more now!
Cultivating immortality and achieving eternal life, the path to the Great Dao is walked alone!
"Count to ten, or hand over the Qiankun Bag..."
Xu Dong remained expressionless and slowly uttered, "Ten!"
"Nine……"
Seeing this, Old Xu gave a bitter smile, as if all his strength had been drained. He pushed away Lin Xiuyuan's hand, slowly moved to sit down in front of Lin Xiuyuan, and said:
"I'm so sorry, Xiaolin, it's my fault for giving birth to this unfilial son. Why didn't I just die sooner? Why am I still clinging to this life... Heh!"
Seeing that Old Xu's expression seemed genuine, Lin Xiuyuan felt slightly relieved. He stepped forward, patted Old Xu on the shoulder, looked straight ahead, and said calmly:
"It's okay, it's alright, don't get angry."
"three!"
"two……"
Xu Dong's expression gradually turned cold.
The cultivators were eager to try, their eyes filled with killing intent, ready to make a move at any moment.
A talisman master has come knocking on my door; I absolutely cannot let him go!
At this moment.
Lin Xiuyuan stepped past Old Xu, and slowly extended his hand, which had been hidden in his sleeve.
In an instant, a flash of inspiration arose.
As before, several thorn talismans were used first, causing the earth to tremble. Countless vines and thorns broke through the soil and rushed down from all directions, baring their fangs and claws, to engulf the cultivators.
"Looks like you're going to have to suffer the consequences instead of accepting the offer!"
Xu Dong's face darkened. He couldn't understand whether Lin Xiuyuan was being stupid or deliberately courting death. Did he think he could fight them all by himself?
"You forced me to do this. Do it, kill him!"
The cultivators had been preparing for a long time, eager to deal with Lin Xiuyuan to avoid any unforeseen complications.
It was only because of Xu Dong that we waited for so long.
Since this talisman master is courting death, then let him die!
At that moment, everyone's faces were contorted with rage, their eyes seeming as if they wanted to devour Lin Xiuyuan alive. They each activated their spiritual weapons, their eyes radiating a chilling killing intent.
In an instant, the spirit swords roared and flew up, and all the vines and thorns were cut in two, fell to the ground, and turned into specks of spiritual light and dissipated.
Although several Thorn Talismans were activated simultaneously, they were only mid-level talismans after all. They were fine against a small number of enemies, but now that they were trying to trap seven cultivators of considerable strength, they were struggling to cope.
However, at this moment, the golden light burst forth completely, dazzling and brilliant.
A piercing sword cry rang out as three golden swords whistled and slashed, carrying sharp power and exuding a fierce aura as they arrived.
This immediately caused the expressions of the cultivators to change, and a hint of fear appeared on their faces.
The rogue cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining said in a low voice, "It's just a few high-level talismans. Let's join forces to resist. He's only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, so he can't possibly be a high-level talisman master. At most, he has some talismans on him."
