Chapter 28 Returning to Bei's House As night fell, Bei Liyuan thought about Bai...
At night, Bei Liyuan tossed and turned, recalling what happened during the day. Just as he wanted to get some fresh air to calm down, he heard footsteps outside the door and quickly closed his eyes.
Not long after, I heard the door creak open, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, finally stopping in front of the bed.
"Li Yuan, are you asleep?"
Li Youyang's voice was very soft in his ears. If Li Youyang had something to look for him, he would have knocked on the door or made a louder sound to wake him up. Now he probably didn't want him to wake up, so Bei Liyuan did not respond.
Li Youyang called out softly again, and seeing that Bei Liyuan still didn't respond, he lowered his body and gently sat beside Bei Liyuan. Bei Liyuan's heart began beating like a drum, and he nervously clenched the corner of the quilt.
Li Youyang began to draw the formation with his fingertips. After about a quarter of an hour, the formation was completed. Then he injected the formation into Bei Liyuan's body. With this protective formation, the Bei family and their group would be able to stay safe.
Then he stood up and left. Just as he took a step, he heard Bei Liyuan anxiously shouting, "Uncle Wang! Why?! Why are you trying to kill me?!"
Li Youyang hesitated for a moment and finally turned back. He raised his hand and patted Bei Liyuan gently, saying softly, "Don't be afraid. Master will take care of everything."
But Bei Liyuan still slept restlessly. Li Youyang sighed, "There is no reason for anything in this world. It's nothing more than a choice made under the competition of interests."
"Uncle Wang! Don't kill me?! Please don't kill me! At least don't do it yourself!" Bei Liyuan shouted unwillingly with sobs, and began to struggle restlessly.
"To have to go through all this at such a young age, ah!"
Li Youyang gently stroked Bei Liyuan's black hair and comforted him softly: "Liyuan, don't be afraid! Master is here."
Bei Liyuan held Li Youyang's hand in panic, and then gradually calmed down.
Seeing that the other person was sleeping soundly, Li Youyang tried to withdraw his hands, but Bei Liyuan unexpectedly held on very tightly.
Li Youyang sighed again. After another quarter of an hour, Li Youyang tried again. This time he finally pulled his hand out successfully. He gently covered the person with the quilt and turned to leave.
Bei Liyuan didn't open his eyes until he could no longer hear the footsteps, his eyes full of nostalgia.
…
Five days later, Uncle Wang arrived at Yunshan Sect and was led to the main hall by Luo Yinzhu.
When he first saw someone, Bei Liyuan pretended to be happy: "Uncle Wang, have you been doing well since I left? Have you been in any trouble?"
Uncle Wang shook his head, his eyes full of love. "It's been three years since we last met. My Li Yuan has grown a lot stronger and looks a bit like a nobleman. I heard from the head of the family that you became a disciple of Lord Chengyan. How does he treat you well?"
Bei Liyuan nodded: "Master treats me very well."
Uncle Wang didn't believe that Cheng Yanjun, with his notorious reputation, could be kind to others. He just thought Bei Liyuan said this on purpose to avoid worrying him. He sneered in his heart, thinking that he was just as stupid as before.
Bei Liyuan asked again: "Uncle Wang, why are you here?"
"The Bei family is holding an election for the next young master. The head of the family asked me to come and pick you up. The carriage is already at the foot of the mountain. Please pack up and we will go down the mountain."
Bei Liyuan lowered his eyes: "Uncle Wang... I don't want to..."
Uncle Wang sighed, "Li Yuan, in all these years, have you ever disobeyed the Patriarch's words? Go ahead, pack up and let's go back."
A quarter of an hour later, Bei Liyuan packed up some valuables and went down the mountain with Uncle Wang.
In the carriage, Uncle Wang asked again, "Now that there's no one around, tell me honestly, did Cheng Yanjun do that to you?"
Bei Liyuan frowned invisibly: "Master treats me very well."
Uncle Wang took this as tacit agreement, but seeing that Bei Liyuan showed no sign of disapproval, he probably agreed. He felt contempt for him and said, "This trip to the Bei family is just a formality. If you can admit defeat, then do it directly."
Bei Liyuan hummed.
After leaving the Yunshan Sect, the carriage turned and headed towards a more desolate area. Bei Liyuan pretended to be puzzled: "Uncle Wang, this doesn't seem to be the way back to the Bei family?"
Uncle Wang said gently, "This is a shortcut."
After another half an hour of travel, the carriage stopped and Uncle Wang got off. "I'm old and can't stand the bumpy road. I'll get off to rest for a while. Li Yuan, do you want to get off too?"
Bei Liyuan responded and got off the carriage. The two of them were already in the dense forest. "Uncle Wang, is this really the way back to the Bei family? I don't remember taking this road when we came here!"
Uncle Wang curled his lips and said, "I took this road when I came here, don't worry."
As he spoke, he was already beside Bei Liyuan. Then, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he raised his hand to attack Bei Liyuan. Bei Liyuan slightly turned sideways to avoid the killing move: "Uncle Wang is too impatient."
Uncle Wang was slightly startled: "How can you be on guard?"
Bei Liyuan crossed his arms and said, "Yesterday, my master asked someone to tell my fortune. The fortune showed that my life would be in danger today. Uncle Wang, you have come. Although Uncle Wang took good care of me when I was young, people's hearts are fickle. It is always better to be cautious."
Uncle Wang laughed. "Divination? Do you think everyone is as dumb as you? The spying technique in the master's study that day was yours, right?"
Bei Liyuan was slightly stunned.
Uncle Wang continued, "It seems the Patriarch's judgment is correct. You do have an opportunity in the Yunshan Sect. However, that loser, Cheng Yanjun, is the most stingy person. Even if you indulge in his pleasure, how much resources can he give you?"
A murderous look flashed across Bei Liyuan's eyes.
"It seems you've hit a sore spot." Uncle Wang's eyes darkened. "Prepare to die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he drew a sword seal with his finger, and a top-grade immortal sword was suspended in front of him. Uncle Wang gently stroked the sword: "From the spying technique that day, I can see that you have probably already formed a core. Forming a core in three years, this kind of talent is even better than your father's. What a pity."
Immediately, the immortal sword transformed into seven layers of sword shadows, the sound of breaking through the air echoed through the sky, and the sword shadows rushed towards Beiliyuan fiercely. In an instant, it transformed into hundreds of light and shadows, appearing everywhere.
Bei Liyuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, formed a formation with his hands, and the golden light protected his body. The sword shadow fell on the light shield and exploded, and Bei Liyuan was instantly annihilated in the light and shadow.
When the light and shadow dissipated, Bei Liyuan was unharmed. Uncle Wang's eyes flashed with surprise: "Nascent Soul cultivation! So what?"
His eyes darkened slightly, and in a flash, thousands of sword prints rushed straight towards Bei Liyuan, and the result was still the same.
Uncle Wang's eyes darkened. "Spiritual Transformation Stage! It seems like sending you to the Yunshan Sect was really a mistake."
He raised his spiritual energy again, and thousands of sword shadows pressed forward, but they still couldn't hurt Bei Liyuan. Uncle Wang's eyes flashed with sternness: "Lianxu! With such talent, you will definitely be a great enemy of our clan in the future! We can't let you go today."
A great enemy of our race? Bei Liyuan was stunned for a moment.
Then, a demonic aura emanated from Uncle Wang's body.
"Demons!"
Bei Liyuan was surprised to see that Uncle Wang had a blood-red sickle in his hand: "Prepare to die!"
In an instant, Uncle Wang was beside Bei Liyuan. Bei Liyuan hurriedly formed a protective formation, but it shattered in just a moment. Bei Liyuan was slightly stunned. This level of cultivation was at least that of a Golden Immortal.
Uncle Wang said solemnly, "You are stronger than that idiot Beitang Jing, so I will let you die knowingly. I am Jue Yu, the deputy commander of the demon race, and I have been ordered to find a human cultivator with extraordinary talent and kill him."
The moment he finished speaking, the sickle fell, and with a loud roar, Beiliyuan was submerged in the devil's breath.
Uncle Wang lamented, "What a shame! Why doesn't such a talent appear in my demon clan?"
When he turned around, he was surprised to see Bei Liyuan standing there unharmed.
Bei Liyuan himself also thought that he was going to die, but at the moment when the sickle fell, a protective formation suddenly appeared and protected him. Only then did he realize that his master had come to his room not just to comfort him, but to set up a protective formation to protect his life.
Master, thinking of Li Youyang, Bei Liyuan's eyes instantly became much gentler.
Uncle Wang attacked again with a sickle in hand. Bei Liyuan came to his senses and was about to flee, but the next moment he felt his feet go empty and he was thrown behind him by Nangong Liuchu. At the same time, Nangong Liuchu held the immortal sword to block the sickle: "Liyuan, retreat."
After Bei Liyuan stood firm, he hurriedly flew back on his sword.
Uncle Wang's eyes flashed with coldness: "Another cultivator with extraordinary talent. My luck is really like this: either I don't open a business, or I can make a living for three years after opening it!"
Nangong Liuchu curled his lips: "That depends on whether you have the ability."
As soon as he finished speaking, he summoned the Xuanbing Sword. Uncle Wang's eyes darkened and he raised his sickle. Nangong Liuchu held the sword and prepared to block it, but the next moment Uncle Wang actually fled.
Nangong Liuchu was stunned for a moment. This demon really knew the situation. If they could win, they would fight, and if they couldn’t, they would run away. But could they escape?
Nangong Liuchu pinched the sword gesture with his fingers, and the Xuanbing Sword transformed into an ice phoenix with a phoenix cry and violently attacked Uncle Wang. With a scream, Uncle Wang fell down seriously injured.
Nangong Liuchu flew over on his sword, his eyes darkening. "He actually abandoned his body and escaped. But this is enough for him."
The battle was over, Bei Liyuan flew back on his sword, and Nangong Liuchu lightly stroked the space ring in his hand. After checking it out, he couldn't help but complain: "Such a big ring only has a few spiritual treasures, and nothing useful. How poor."
He flipped through it carefully again, and finally took out a blood evil banner and handed it to Bei Liyuan: "This is the only thing that can be of some use."
After saying that, he poured out all the other spiritual treasures and put the ring away.
Bei Liyuan: ...
Nangong Liuchu formed another talisman and informed Li Youyang: "Junior brother, let's wait here for a moment."
Bei Liyuan hummed.
Half a minute later, Nangong Liuchu received a reply from Li Youyang, and his eyes lit up with joy: "Master said he would come."
Bei Liyuan silently clenched his fists and suppressed the ecstasy in his heart again and again.
After a cup of tea, Li Youyang arrived on a flying boat. The two of them boarded the boat with their swords and bowed respectfully to Li Youyang: "Master."
Li Youyang nodded slightly. The demons would not stop until they achieved their goal. If they were not killed, they would definitely turn back. The danger of the Bei family this time was beyond his expectations. He was worried if they did not come together. "You two can do whatever you want. There is no need to be so respectful."
The two of them stepped aside and sat cross-legged to practice.
Half a day later, the three of them arrived at Bei's house, and Li Youyang put away the flying boat.
When they arrived at the Bei family, the three were stopped by the guards: "You three don't have invitations. Please wait a moment."
Nangong Liuchu frowned. He had never heard of someone needing an invitation to return to their own home. Just as he was about to speak, the guard turned and left.
Inside the study, Beitang Feng's eyes darkened upon hearing the news of Bei Liyuan's return: "Uncle Wang, that useless guy, actually let this little bastard return to the Bei family alive! Where's Uncle Wang?"
The guard answered honestly, "No."
Beitang Feng frowned and said, "Forget it. There are many guests today. Let's take them to the superior guest rooms first."
After the guards left, murderous intent flashed across Beitang Feng's eyes. He hadn't found any trace of Cheng Yanjun for three whole years. Now was just the right opportunity to wipe him out. Thinking of this, there was a knock on the door.
"Master, the Wang family has arrived."
"Lead them to the main hall. I'll be there shortly. Also, go to the guest room and ask Bei Liyuan to come to the study."
