Uproot the Weeds

Upon seeing who was approaching, Chen Changqing and Wang Yang immediately became alert.

Instead, Ran Hua exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the man, "Ran Mu!"

The newcomer was a young man, who appeared to be about the same age as Ran Hua.

"Young Clan Leader!"

"You're finally back."

Ran Mu was also shocked.

Before Chen Changqing and Wang Yang could react, Ran Hua had already rushed towards Ran Mu.

Approaching, Ran Hua asked anxiously:

"Ran Mu, what exactly happened?"

Why did the Ran Family end up like this?

Upon hearing Ran Hua's question, Ran Mu didn't hesitate and quickly replied:

"Young Clan Chief."

"A few days ago, something happened to the Li Family, and they suddenly attacked our Ran Family."

"Because the matter came so suddenly, the Ran Family was caught off guard."

"Even though our people fought valiantly, we were ultimately no match for them."

"The clan leader and all the elders in the Lineage have been captured by the Li Family."

"I escaped by sheer luck, and have been hiding in the shadows ever since, finally waiting for you, young clan leader, to return."

Ran Hua's face turned extremely ugly after Ran Mu said that.

I never expected this.

It was actually the Li Family that attacked the Ran Family!

"Why?"

Ran Hua frowned, his face full of doubt and confusion.

I can't understand why the Li Family suddenly attacked the Ran Family.

It should be noted that in Green Mountain Town, the three major Lineage have always lived in harmony and have never fought each other.

At this moment, Chen Changqing and Wang Yang stepped forward.

Ran Hua came to her senses and introduced Ran Mu:

"Ran Mu, these two are my two senior brothers from Mount Shu."

Upon hearing this, Ran Mu nodded and quickly bowed to Chen Changqing and Wang Yang.

"Greetings, two senior brothers from Mount Shu!"

Chen Changqing and Wang Yang nodded in unison.

Just then, a loud laugh suddenly rang out.

Immediately following, more than a dozen figures arrived through the air.

The leader was a thin old man with white hair and beard and a sinister look in his eyes.

A powerful aura emanated from him.

His cultivation level had actually reached the Late Core Formation Stage.

The dozen or so people following behind him were also quite strong, with several at the Foundation Establishment stage and the rest at the Qi Refining stage.

"Ran Hua!"

"You finally showed up, kid."

"I've been waiting for you here for days!"

After appearing, the old man's gaze was fixed firmly on Ran Hua.

Upon seeing the old man, Ran Hua's expression changed drastically, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"Li You!!"

Ran Hua recognized the old man; who else could he be but Li You, the Grand Elder of the Li Family?

Li You gave a cold laugh and said:

"How?"

"You're surprised to see me, old man?"

Ran Hua's face was grim, and his eyes were filled with hatred.

"Li You, you guys are so heartless!"

Why would you resort to such a deadly attack on the Ran Family?

Li You responded to Ran Hua's question with disdain and indifference, saying calmly:

"Boy, you're not worthy to question this old man."

"Perfect timing, Ran Mu, the one who slipped through the net, is here too."

"To cut the weeds, you must pull them out by the roots!"

He was waiting here to eliminate Ran Hua and Ran Mu, the two who had escaped the net.

Upon hearing Li You's words, Ran Mu's expression darkened, and he shouted sharply:

"Old dog, I'd rather die than submit to you."

Upon hearing this, Li You's eyes immediately turned fierce, and he said coldly:

"Wanting to die is easy."

"I'm ready to grant your wish anytime."

"However, since you dare to defy me like this, I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death later."

Ran Mu was so angry that his face turned red, and he couldn't help but rush out, but Ran Hua blocked him with one hand.

"You're still too weak. Charging in like this is just suicide."

Ran Hua said coldly.

"But young clan leader..."

Ran Mu was about to say something, but before he could finish, Ran Hua interrupted him:

"Leave the rest to me."

As she spoke, Ran Hua turned her gaze and looked directly at Li You.

Upon hearing what Ran Hua said, Li You scoffed:

"Ha ha!"

"Ran Hua, are you going to handle this?"

"Don't you even know your own limitations before you dare to speak so arrogantly?"

As he said this, Li You glanced out of the corner of his eye at Chen Changqing and Wang Yang, who were standing behind Ran Hua.

With his Late Core Formation Stage cultivation, he could naturally detect it.

Chen Changqing and Wang Yang are both Cultivator at the Core Formation Realm.

After a brief look, Li You glanced at him and said:

"Boy, I think you'd better surrender and come with me!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for bullying you and being rude."

Ran Hua, her face grim, shouted angrily:

"Li You."

"Your Li Family has some serious audacity to treat my Ran Family like this."

Aren't you afraid of Mount Shu?

Upon hearing Ran Hua's words, Li You suddenly burst into laughter:

"Hahaha!"

As he laughed, his face turned cold, and he spoke with disdain:

"I say, you little brat from the Ran Family, you really like to pat yourself on the back!"

"You've joined the Mount Shu, but don't think others don't know. You're just a gatekeeper disciple in the Outer Sect Mount Shu."

To put it bluntly, he's just a watchdog!

"A disciple like you is dispensable to the Mount Shu Sect."

After listening to what Li You said, Ran Hua's face turned extremely pale.

Unexpectedly, Li You knew so much about him.

They even knew that he was a gatekeeper disciple at Mount Shu.

"It seems the Li Family had made thorough preparations before taking action against my Ran Family."

Just as Ran Hua was in a daze, Li You's gaze fell on Chen Changqing and Wang Yang again.

"Gentlemen, this is a private matter between the three major Lineage of Green Mountain Town."

"It's best if you outsiders don't interfere, lest you get caught in the crossfire."

Although he didn't care much about Chen Changqing and Wang Yang.

But Li You still offered this advice.

It's clear that Chen Changqing and Wang Yang are also disciples of the Mount Shu.

Moreover, both of them possessed the cultivation level of the Core Formation Realm.

Such a person should, at the very least, be among the Inner Sect of Mount Shu.

For Mount Shu, one of the Ten Sacred Gates.

They are not people that these major Lineage can afford to offend.

After saying this, Li You didn't wait for Chen Changqing and Wang Yang to respond, and casually waved his hand, ordering:

"Do it!"

"Take down those two lads from the Ran Family!"

At Li You's command, a dozen or so of his men leaped out and attacked Ran Hua and Ran Mu.

Upon seeing this, Ran Mu immediately tensed up, and his breathing became much more rapid and heavy.

He was only at the Qi Refining level, and was no match for these people.

Ran Hua noticed this and quickly glanced at Chen Changqing.

"Senior brother!"

Chen Changqing responded calmly:

Don't worry, junior brother!

"I'll take care of everything."

As he spoke, Chen Changqing turned his gaze toward the dozen or so people who were attacking him.

"Boom!"

The next moment, a terrifying aura erupted from Chen Changqing's body.

As soon as this energy was released, the dozen or so people who rushed forward felt a chill run through their bodies, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
