Chu Xuedao: I Had Wanted to Let You Live a Little Longer

"Spirit Awakening successful overnight, congratulations Senior Sister Caiyi!"

Bai Qian and Chen Qianqian noticed the change in their junior niece's aura and immediately spoke up.

Chu Caiyi said calmly, "These two little ones really didn't disappoint me. It wasn't in vain that I used the essence of demon beast meat to make them dinner last night."

Of course, the most shocked person was the Deacon Yu, who had personally witnessed Li Ping'an, no, Chu Xuedao and his sister, transform from ordinary mortals into cultivators.

In particular, the aura emanating from Chu Xuedao was terrifying to him; even the Black Tiger Gang leader didn't give him such a powerful feeling.

There is a distinction between immortals and mortals; the world is truly not deceiving me.

Hearing the voices of the crowd, Chu Xuedao slowly opened his eyes. He examined his body and an excited expression appeared on his face.

She then stood up and bowed to Chu Caiyi: "Thank you, Mother."

No need for thanks.

Chu Caiyi said, "You have only successfully Spirit Awakening and officially stepped into the threshold of cultivation. Once you have circulated that wisp of Spiritual Qi in your body through one Greater Celestial Circuit, which is thirty-six Lesser Celestial Circuit, you will be considered to have reached the Body Tempering First Layer. You should rest for a while, and your mother will make breakfast for you."

"Um."

Chu Xuedao's mind is now completely focused on cultivation; he only wants to become stronger and then take revenge.

In less than half an hour, Chu Caiyi had prepared breakfast, and Chu Yingying also opened her eyes. She had no prior experience in cultivation, so her progress in cultivation was slower than that of Chu Xuedao, who had experience in martial arts.

After breakfast, the brother and sister continued their cultivation.

Meanwhile, in the northern outer city of Ningzhou Prefecture, Fierce Tiger Hall of the Black Tiger Gang.

The hall master was pacing back and forth in the hall. Deacon Yu his confidant for many years. That guy looked like a weak scholar on the surface, but his strength was definitely not weak.

Moreover, he brought so many core members of the Fierce Tiger Hall with him; taking down a mere Li Ping'an would have been a piece of cake. Why hasn't he returned to report yet?

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, a loud voice came from outside.

"The guild leader has arrived!!!"

The Fierce Tiger Hall hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully said, "Meng Bo welcomes the leader."

"Um."

The leader of the Black Tiger Gang was named Hu Li. He practiced the Heavenly Dipper Virgin Boy Technique and was a tall man. Just by standing in front of people, he could give them an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"I heard you sent men to deal with that brat from the Li Lineage. What's the result? If you've already taken care of him, we'll take his head and pay a visit to the Liu Lineage."

"Reporting to the leader, the men I sent out have not yet replied."

After finishing speaking, Hall Master Meng immediately lowered his head.

"Do you perhaps intend to spare that kid's life?"

Hu Li asked in a cold voice.

Hall Master Meng quickly explained, "I wouldn't dare. I already dispatched dozens of elite disciples yesterday, and Steward Yu Deacon Yu things. Logically speaking, taking down that kid shouldn't be a problem at all."

"So you haven't done anything wrong."

Hu Li paused for a moment and said, "However, our Black Tiger Gang can't put all its eggs in one basket. I order the entire Fierce Tiger Hall to mobilize and search for the whereabouts of the Li Lineage brat. I will also send the Tiger Fang Guards to lend you a hand. We absolutely cannot let that Li Lineage brat fall into the hands of other forces, otherwise our Black Tiger Gang will not be able to maintain its foothold in the outer city."

"Promise."

After responding, Hall Master Meng immediately ordered the assembly horn to be sounded.

Before long, hundreds of disciples from the Fierce Tiger Hall set out.

Such a scene naturally alarmed the northern outer city, and at the same time, everyone learned one thing: Li Ping'an was not dead.

In no time, all the major and minor factions in the outer city began to take action.

The news quickly spread to the inner city. Compared to the forces in the outer city, those who wanted to curry favor with the newly powerful Liu Lineage did so differently.

The Lineage and factions within the inner city, all possessing some degree of affinity with immortality, chose to remain silent and observe the situation.

Inside the Liu Mansion.

Mr. Liu leisurely sipped his morning tea, listening to a tune, looking exceptionally content.

Just as he was immersed in the music, the old butler walked up to Liu's father and whispered a few words in his ear.

After listening, Liu's father's expression remained largely unchanged, and he said with a half-smile, "This kid is quite the runner, but I don't believe he can escape Ningzhou Prefecture."

Beside the official road outside Ningzhou Prefecture.

After having breakfast, Chu Xuedao and his sister began their cultivation.

Chu Caiyi and the others also cultivated in place, without deliberately casting spells to hide themselves.

As more and more pedestrians appeared on the official road, they naturally noticed Chu Caiyi and her companions.

Soon, someone recognized Chu Xuedao, and the news spread to the ears of various forces, large and small, in the outer city.

The first reaction of all parties upon receiving this news was disbelief. In their view, how could Li Ping'an possibly stay outside the city? Wasn't that just waiting to die on the spot?

Holding the belief that it's better to believe it exists than not.

Various factions, large and small, led their troops northwards.

Around noon.

All the forces then saw Li Ping'an and his sister sitting there cultivating.

However, none of them rushed forward because Li Ping'an and his sister were emanating an aura that instilled fear in them.

Moreover, they spotted a familiar figure in the crowd: the Life-Taking Scholar from the Black Tiger Gang.

All eyes immediately fell on the Black Tiger Gang members.

Hall Master Meng frowned deeply, somewhat unable to understand what Li Ping'an was trying to do.

Just as he hesitated, a sarcastic voice came from not far away. "Hall Master Meng, why are you stopping? Are you scared by your disciple?"

Hall Master Meng turned his head and stared at the middle-aged man who had spoken, saying, "Old man He, stop trying to provoke me. I'm not a fool like you."

"Hehe."

The middle-aged man chuckled, "Then I'll have to see what your Black Tiger Gang does today. Listen up, members of the Canal Gang: absolutely do not interfere in the internal affairs of the Black Tiger Gang. We're here to watch the show."

"Promise."

After responding, the disciples of the Canal Gang cast mocking and sarcastic glances at the Black Tiger Gang members.

The two gangs had a long-standing feud, and now that the Canal Gang disciples were openly provoking them, the Black Tiger Gang disciples naturally couldn't tolerate it.

The leader of the Tiger Fang Guards said, "Hall Master Meng, if you're unwilling to take them down, then we Tiger Fang Guards Tiger Fang Guards will have to do it ourselves. Don't accuse us of stealing credit then."

Hall Master Meng gritted his teeth. "Fine, I'll have my Fierce Tiger Hall disciples take action first. If they can't handle that kid, then I'll trouble the Tiger Fang Guards."

"Can."

The leader of the Tiger Fang Guards nodded slightly in response.

Hall Master Meng waved his hand and said, "Men, seize this wicked wretch who murdered our fellow disciples! Execute him on the spot, and reward him with two hundred taels of silver for his head!"

A generous reward will surely attract brave men, especially since Li Ping'an gave these two hundred taels to his Hall Master Meng without feeling the pinch at all.

As expected, upon hearing this, the disciples of the Fierce Tiger Hall drew their weapons and rushed towards Chu Xuedao, who was cultivating.

"Snort!"

Just as the disciples of the Fierce Tiger Hall rushed down the official road Chu Xuedao let out a cold snort.

It was just a simple, ordinary snort.

The disciples of the Fierce Tiger Hall looked as if they had seen a terrifying beast; their legs went weak, and they collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Some unfortunate souls were even wounded by their own weapons, letting out screams of agony.

This scene left the leaders of all parties dumbfounded.

The Hall Master He the Canal Gang's Crane Hall muttered to himself, "This kid's got some tricks up his sleeve. Luckily, we're just here to watch the show."

Upon hearing this, the lackey beside him shouted, "The leader is wise!"

The most shocked person among them was Hall Master Meng. He couldn't understand how Li Ping'an had become so unfamiliar after only one night. That cold snort just now still left him with a lingering sense of unease.

Just then, Chu Xuedao slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and calmly surveyed the Black Tiger Gang members, saying indifferently, "I was hoping you could live a little longer, so why did you rush to your deaths so soon!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent...
