Chapter 170 The Most Loyal Partner
"You Ran is right. The contracted beasts are our partners. No matter what, the contracted beasts will never abandon us. No matter what, the contracted beasts will never betray us. We treat them well and regard them as partners. I believe they will protect us with their lives." Leng Zixi said excitedly. Leng Zinuo also said, "Yes! The contracted beasts are our partners, not tools for us to fight, nor items that can be discarded at any time, so we must cherish this loyal partner." Everyone nodded in unison. It can be seen that they now attach a little more importance to their contracted beasts. Just when everyone was excited, a sweet voice came from behind, "You are right. Spirit beasts are our most loyal partners. In fact, spirit beasts also have feelings. If we treat them well, they will risk their lives to treat us well." Everyone turned to look at the place where the voice came from, and then there was a look of surprise. Leng Zixi walked over and took the little girl's hand and asked gently, "Yu Rou, you broke through, congratulations." Leng Yu Rou smiled sweetly and said, "Well, I finally succeeded in breaking through the eighth level of Qi training."
Everyone began to congratulate the little sister. Emperor Yan looked at the smiling girl over there with doting. Seeing her smiling face, he felt warm in his heart. He nodded in his heart when he heard what the little girl said about the contracted beast. The little girl was right. The contracted beast was not an accessory. He also had a contracted beast and he cooperated with his contracted beast very well. He and the contracted beast were the most loyal partners, so he agreed with what Leng Youran had said just now. His little girl was so different. When the red-clothed fire fox returned to the formation with the army of spirit beasts, it ran to Leng Youran, holding a jade pendant in its little paw and handed it over, chattering to its master. Leng Youran was immediately amused when he heard what the red-clothed fire fox said, and explained to everyone, "This storage jade pendant was found by the fire fox not far away. It was still buried underground when it was found. Someone must have hidden it because they knew they couldn't escape." As he spoke, he opened the jade pendant and took out a jade card from it. His face darkened as he scanned it with his spiritual sense, and without saying a word, he handed the jade card in his hand to Leng Zixi who was sitting aside. Leng Zixi saw that Leng Youran's face was not good and knew that it was not a good thing, so he took the jade card with a heavy face and scanned it with his spiritual sense and immediately became angry. Everyone else looked at the two of them with puzzled expressions. Leng Zixi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "No wonder we were being hunted before, and our news was always leaked because of this. Every time they were about to give up, they would secretly bury the jade token and tell the cultivators behind us about us. The reason why they left the storage jade pendant this time was because Tang Yu discovered that we had a large number of spirit beasts, and he was afraid that everyone in our family had a spirit beast, so he left the storage jade pendant to inform the family, and when he knew he couldn't escape, he put a lot of important things in this storage jade pendant. It was also because of the spiritual power fluctuations when he left this jade pendant that it was discovered by Hongyi. Fortunately, it was discovered by my contracted beast Hongyi, otherwise it would be troublesome if this thing was obtained by those people." After speaking, he looked at everyone with a face full of fear.
The disciples of the Leng family were shocked when they heard the news. They all did the same action and took a breath at the same time. No wonder they were always chased before. They had clearly killed all the pursuing monks, but they were still able to catch up quickly.
Then they thought of a key issue, so they all looked at Leng Youran. During this period of time, they were used to Leng Youran making the decisions on everything.
Leng Youran thought for a while and said, "Let's leave here and talk somewhere else. It's not safe here anymore." Everyone nodded and put away their contracted beasts and walked out of the formation. Leng Youran counted all the storage bags on the ground in front of everyone, put away the formation, and followed everyone in another direction.
About an hour after they left, a group of people appeared at the scene of the battle. Seeing the mess, they frowned. What kind of battle could have destroyed this place like this? They also searched the surrounding area and found no jade tokens left by those people. What happened? Did some people not have the opportunity to leave behind jade tokens? But that didn't make sense! The traces of the battle here were not a small-scale battle. Judging from the traces at the scene, there were at least hundreds of monks dispatched this time. It is impossible that they did not leave behind jade tokens to inform the monks behind. So there is only one possibility: the jade pendant was taken away, which means that their actions were discovered.
Thinking of this, the person who came couldn't help but curse under his breath, and took a group of people to search around to see if they could find any disciples of the Leng family in this area. If they could find them, that would be the best, otherwise their trip would be in vain.
Besides, Leng Youran led a group of people to travel quickly through the mountains, wanting to find a place to have a good rest. Leng Youran thought about it and asked Yun Shang through the contract, "Yun Shang, is there a cave here, or a secret place where we can have a good rest?" Yun Shang glanced at the surrounding terrain and immediately said, "Master, follow me, I know a place suitable for you to rest." As he said, he walked in front to lead the way for everyone, while Yan Di followed slowly behind them and protected them secretly. He had discovered the cave that Yun Shang mentioned a long time ago. He had checked it with his spiritual sense and it was a good place, so he was very relieved to let the little girl go. Before entering the mountains, he said that he would not take action unless it was a life-and-death situation. Last time, he took action because the little girl did not intend to take action.
The group followed Yun Shang to the entrance of the cave. Leng Youran was happy when looking at this place. This is really a good place to rest. This is a secret cave hidden behind the waterfall. The entrance of the cave is covered by the waterfall. As long as you don't go in, you won't find it. If they set up a formation at the entrance of the cave, it will be even less likely to be discovered.
Leng Youran used her spiritual sense to check and found that there was no danger inside. Then she led the group across the waterfall and directly into the cave. After entering the cave, Leng Youran took out the formation her father had refined and with a wave of her hand, she directly set up a defensive and secret formation at the entrance of the cave, completely covering it up. She was also tired and wanted to have a good rest, so after entering the cave, she didn't delay and directly divided up all the spoils that could be divided. As for the rest, they took it back to the family as usual. However, this time they gave Wu Yuhai a share, which was what he deserved. Because Leng Youran said that three months had passed and their previous agreement had expired, if Wu Yuhai felt it was inconvenient to follow them and wanted to leave, it was fine, but Wu Yuhai was a very loyal man and he would not leave! He still needed to gain experience with them! After dividing the spoils, the group dispersed and found a corner to meditate and rest. Leng Youran felt a little tired, so she took out a recliner from the space. This was made by Tao Yao and Yuzhu in the space. Just as she was about to lie down to rest, she saw Yan Di looking at her with a smile. Leng Youran waved her hand and took out another recliner and put them side by side. She nodded her little chin to indicate to Yan Di that the one was for him. Yan Di smiled when he saw her little action. She looked like a well-fed kitten lying there comfortably. She looked so cute!
The group stayed in the cave for three days and rested thoroughly before planning to leave. This time they did not plan to have a head-on conflict with those who had been chasing them, because Leng Zixi and Wu Yuhai were on the verge of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage and were not suitable for going through fierce battles. They did not want these two to break through here.
So everyone agreed not to stay in the mountains.
On the way back, Leng Youran relaxed and paid attention to the surrounding situation, carefully avoiding the monks who were searching. As soon as he walked out of the mountains, he immediately took out the flying boat and left quickly, driving the flying boat directly towards Huo City.
They had to go back quickly and tell their family what they had experienced so that the elders of the family could prepare in advance to deal with the next move of the Tang family. If the Tang family had already reached a consensus with the Wen family, then wouldn't their Leng family be in danger? If they could make plans early, perhaps they could suffer less losses.
Moreover, they brought back a lot of resources this time, which can be used to refine a lot of pills. This can be regarded as their contribution to the family.
