Chapter Seventeen: Ambush on All Sides

  At the foot of the Tianxian Peak, outside the vast forest, two figures with deep blue light flashed out.

  His figure moved extremely quickly, turning several corners with ease to arrive at the outskirts of a nearby village. He then retracted his true energy and walked in. Two middle-aged men also appeared, one tall and thin, the other short and fat. Judging from the true energy they had released earlier, both were clearly cultivators of the Qing stage's later stages!

  What brings this high-ranking warrior to this small village at the foot of Tian Xian Peak?

  Two middle-aged men walked shoulder to shoulder past several houses and came to the most luxurious house in the village, stepping inside.

  "Older brother!"

  The two walked in and greeted another middle-aged man sitting in the main hall of the house, sipping tea.

  "Any news?"

  The middle-aged man put down the cup in his hand, suddenly stood up, and a cyan long gown was also blown up. Looking at this middle-aged man's appearance, he was actually the person sent by Wen Bifan, the master of the Wen family, to surround and kill Ling Qingyan!

  Thus, the origin of the two middle-aged men in front can also be inferred. They are indeed people from the Wen family of Liuyun City!

  "Yes, Brother Pang and I found the kid's trail at the foot of Tianxian Peak. In about two minutes, he'll be out of this thicket..."

  The thin and short middle-aged man nodded at Wen's question.

  Although Wen Ang is a few years younger than him, the status of family juniors on Chongwu Continent is not based on age! Unless they are biological brothers! Generally, in a family, the strong are respected! In the Wen family, Wen Ang is a Blue-level Initial-stage warrior who is favored by the head of the household; while he, although older by several years, is still a Green-level Late-stage warrior...

  So he saw Wen Wan and also called out "Older Brother Wan"!

  "That's good, I originally thought it would take some time, didn't expect that after just a few days, that Ling kid really came down the mountain," Wen Yan's eyes lit up, the sooner this is resolved the better, he doesn't want to stay in this ghostly place for long!

  Turning back to the two in front of him, Wen Ang continued: "You two, go and call up the other brothers. We'll head out to the must-pass route outside that thicket to wait for our little friend!"

  After finishing speaking, Wen Yan directly led the way and walked out of the room first.

  Two middle-aged men, fat and thin, also followed closely, but after leaving the house, they dispersed in different directions, each going to call their fellow clansmen.

  This small village was originally inhabited by several households. However, after the Wen family arrived, they forcibly drove out the original villagers with violence and took possession of the village. But Wen Jia, the leader of the Wen family this time, still had some conscience and gave some loose silver to those evicted villagers.

  On the continent of Chongwu, such things are nothing out of the ordinary!

  ………

  "Little guy, don't you want to go out and take a look? Staying in the South Wilderness all the time is meaningless. Later, after playing enough, you can come back and find your mother."

  At dusk, in the woods under Tian Xian Peak, Ling Qingyan was holding a small Tibetan Mastiff and walking on the side of the road, at this time he was also constantly opening his mouth to comfort the little Tibetan Mastiff who had just woken up.

  Unexpectedly, this little Tibetan Mastiff woke up and started barking, looking for its mother!

  "Wooo..."

  It seems that Xiao Cang was convinced by Ling Qingyan, and for a while, he also buried his head in Ling Qingyan's arms again.

  Upon seeing this, Ling Qingyan also couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

  Since receiving the entrustment of Ao Yue Tian Lang, Ling Qing Yan's feelings towards Xiao Cang Ao have been completely different from the start. If it can be said that when Ling Qing Yan first saw Xiao Cang Ao, he wanted to keep him as a pet, then now he treats Xiao Cang Ao as his own friend.

  In Ling Qingyan's heart, he didn't particularly reject demonic beasts.

  All of this was because Ao Yue Tian Lang gave him a kind of unclear and inexplicable feeling. Ao Yue Tian Lang's actions deeply moved Ling Qing Yan! What Ao Yue Tian Lang did, even if humans, may not be able to do it all! This made Ling Qing Yan feel that demons also have their good points.

  Just as Ling Qingyan was about to step out of the forest, among the numerous grass clusters about half a meter high on both sides of the road outside the forest, there were more than ten figures lurking... Three people on each side of the road, and four people near the exit. In the back, in that one cluster of grass, however, there was only one person.

  This lone figure lurking in the shadows was none other than Wen Chou, the leader of the Wen family.

  Wen Yu was a meticulous person by nature, which was also one of the reasons why Wen Bifan valued him highly. Wen Yu was absolutely different from ordinary warriors, with extremely high intelligence... This time, even if the target to be killed was only a low-level warrior in the Qing level, he made the most detailed arrangements and did not underestimate his opponent because of his low cultivation level.

  Ambush on all sides! But strive for perfection with no room for error!

  However, Wen Ang never expected that his target this time had strength beyond just the Qing level. Even if he was extremely intelligent and meticulous, he would never have thought that Ling Qingyan had something to rely on besides her true Qing power.

  Ling Qingyan's strength was not just based on his one true power of the Azure level. The amplification of the Netherworld Longsword could be compared to the physical strength of a fifth-level demonic beast... Adding these together, that was his true strength! That was the powerful strength that allowed him to rival a Purple level initial-stage martial artist!

  But can anyone know all this?

  Outside the jungle, it seems so quiet and eerie that even the sounds of birds and insects are imperceptible. Only the soft breeze rustling, dust flying sound, still undulates in the air.

  Ling Qing carried Xiao Cang'er and walked quickly along the way. Before long, they had already arrived at the edge of this thicket.

  Just as he stepped out of the forest, Ling Qingyan's figure suddenly stopped. Because at this moment, his ears, which had been greatly enhanced through spiritual transformation, heard several faint breathing sounds coming from the half-meter-high grass between him and the surroundings.

  Is anyone lurking?!

  Ling Qingyan was taken aback, he never thought that as soon as he left the forest at the foot of Tian Xian Peak, he would encounter such a situation.

  Is it a thief? Or what?

  In an instant, Ling Qingyan's consciousness was turbulent, and with a strange wave of fluctuation, his spiritual awareness suddenly extended out, directly sweeping across the surrounding area...

  One, two, three...

  Eleven people!

  After the Qing dynasty, ten people.

  Blue rank beginner, one person.

  Gone quickly, back even faster! In the instant when the external spirit was withdrawn, Ling Qingyan's mouth corner slightly drew out a curved degree, as if it was a sly smile. The people lurking around this week were obviously coming for themselves, and the breathing sounds of these eleven people became more urgent after their appearance...

  Moreover, judging from their cultivation, these eleven people are absolutely not ordinary thieves. That is to say, they have been prepared and have been waiting for me for a long time.

  In this life, I have been in the Ling family for 15 years and have never provoked anyone! Moreover, with the strength of people in Moyun City, it is obviously impossible...

  That could only be the opponent he had provoked later, and for the past three years, he had been staying in the Tianjian Sect, living a secluded life. If one were to say who he had offended... it would have to be the Precept Elder Wen Tianhe! After all, he was the one who had personally taken action to kill his grandson Wen Yi.

  People of the Wen family...
