Chapter 2: Being chased by the Jindan Elder



Mother Sheng grabbed Sheng He by the collar and slapped her hard on the butt.

"Okay, if you don't obey me I will..."

As the two were arguing, the sound of horse hooves came from behind them.

Sheng He suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and the feeling of despair when his mother died in front of him in his previous life came back to him again.

She did not struggle anymore, her eyes fixed on the group of people.

The group of people was getting closer and closer, and the horses' hooves kicked up a cloud of dust. Seeing this, the surrounding people packed up their things and fled into the city.

Mother Sheng seemed to be frightened as well, and quickly took Sheng He to the side.

The road was wide, but the group of people were walking straight towards Sheng He and the others.

They came here just for me!

Thinking of this, Sheng He calmed down.

The leader was a young man dressed in black. He rode on his horse and looked down at the mother and daughter who were hiding by the city wall and were covered in dust.

"Are you Sheng He?"

Sheng He didn't say anything. In her previous life, she had been searching for the murderer of her mother to no avail. In this life, she had clearly not entered the city yet, so why did they still come to her door?

Sheng He gritted his teeth and broke free from his mother.

In this life, she must at least protect her mother no matter what.

"Yes, I am Sheng He. If you have anything to say, come to me."

"nonsense!"

A thin body blocked her behind.

Sheng He raised his head. His mother's body was trembling slightly, but she still covered herself tightly.

"What Sheng He? We don't know Sheng He, sir. We are just country girls who came to see the world. We don't know anything. We are leaving now, leaving now!"

Mother nodded and bowed, then pulled Sheng He behind her and walked back.

But before they could take a few steps, a long knife blocked their way.

"stop!"

Sheng He's hair stood on end.

There is murderous intent!

In the past two hundred years of her previous life, she had been in danger countless times and was very familiar with this feeling. This group of people wanted to kill them!

What to do? What to do now?

Sheng He's heart was in his throat. Is there no way to escape in this life?

If only I had spiritual power now.

They are just a group of mortals. Even if she is only in the Qi Refining Stage now, she can still take her mother and escape.

Spiritual power... Sheng He was stunned.

Things that she had been deliberately ignoring suddenly popped up like mushrooms after rain.

She looked down at her palms, her mind moving as she wished, and soon a small flame appeared at her fingertips.

Not only that, Sheng He also felt that the endless stream of fire elements in the air were approaching her. She absorbed these fire elements instinctively and completed the process of drawing the air into her body in an instant.

Not only did the fire elements not stop, but they became more and more numerous, even forming a small fire tornado around Sheng He.

The group of people looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Sheng He immediately focused her mind and began to refine the fire elements. Perhaps because of her experience from her previous life, after only a few breaths, she had entered the middle stage of Qi training.

In her previous life, it took her five full years from drawing Qi into her body to the middle stage of Qi training!

Feeling the thin flame in her dantian, Sheng He was shocked. She actually had a single fire spiritual root!

But why did she become a good-for-nothing with five spiritual roots after joining Qingyun Sect?

Sheng He had no time to think, as there was even bigger trouble ahead.

Feeling the abundant spiritual power in her body, she immediately turned her fingers and formed seals based on her memories from her previous life.

"Bang!" With a sound, a huge flame attacked the young man in black.

Although this group of people looked aggressive, they were just mortals after all. When they saw the huge flames coming towards them, they were frightened and ran around in panic.

Sheng He didn't dare to stay and pulled his mother and ran into the city.

Behind Sheng He.

The young man in black was standing at the front, closest to Sheng He. He wanted to run away the moment he saw the flames, but the fire seemed to have a spirit. Once it touched him a little, it immediately spread and burned his whole body. No matter how he rolled and struggled on the ground, the fire did not diminish at all.

He looked at Sheng He's back in horror. According to their intelligence, Sheng He should be just an ordinary person.

But she wiped out his entire army with just one strike. Listening to the screams coming from beside him, he didn't dare to delay. He endured the pain, took out a whistle from his arms and blew it hard.

The moment the whistle blew, a dark shadow passed over his head.

With a shout of "waste", the black shadow disappeared in Qingshan City.

......

In Qingshan City, Sheng He was running wildly. Although he was under the scorching sun, he felt waves of chills in his heart.

Ever since she entered the Qi training stage, her ability to perceive her surroundings has become much stronger. For example, at this moment, she can clearly feel that there is a powerful force following her from behind.

This force... is a monk, and he has no intention of hiding his whereabouts.

Sheng He suddenly stopped, took a deep breath and looked towards the city.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going.

Normally, cultivators cannot harm the lives of ordinary people for no reason, but if the other party is an evil cultivator...

Sheng He clenched his fists, whispered a few words to his mother who was running breathlessly beside him, then turned around and ran towards the deserted alley.

As soon as Sheng He ran into the alley, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, with only a sound of breaking air.

An eagle claw flew straight towards Sheng He's back, but fortunately Sheng He was prepared and immediately dodged to the right.

It was not until then that Sheng He saw clearly the appearance of the person who was chasing her.

This is an old man, most of his face is covered with a black mask, leaving only a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes.

Sheng He couldn't see his cultivation level, but she was sure that with her current strength, she would have no chance of survival under this old man.

Am I going to die again just after being reborn?

Sheng He was panicked for a moment, but soon calmed down and bowed to the old man, saying, "I am Sheng He, the junior. Today is my first time in Qingshan City. I wonder what I have done to disturb you?"

The old man stopped, he slowly swung the eagle claw hook, his voice cold and ruthless: "You are wearing a long thing but unable to protect it, this is your fault!"

Before the old man finished speaking, the flying hook attacked Sheng He again.

Sheng He's face was solemn. She was just a seven-year-old child. What could she be good at?

There was no way to communicate with the old man in front of him. Seeing the flying hook getting closer and closer, Sheng He could only use some magic to resist it with all his might. One fireball after another hit the flying hook, but the fireball was extinguished the moment it hit the flying hook.

The power of the flying hook did not decrease at all, and it was still heading straight for Sheng He's chest. Sheng He was about to dodge, but the old man had already set up a barrier around him without him knowing.

She had no way to avoid it now.

That’s good. Now my mother should have hidden in a safe place as she said.

Sheng He stopped and looked at the old man with a smile.

She was sure that the old man was in cahoots with the group of people who were chasing her outside the city.

If nothing unexpected happens, my mother in her previous life should have died at their hands.
