Chapter 1333: Meeting an old friend
Half a month later, Ye Chunyang appeared in a barren desert.
This desert is located on the border of the Silver Moon Country, with few people. There is only one small town within a radius of hundreds of miles, with only a few thousand people living in it.
When Ye Chunyang stepped outside the town, he saw the words "Luoguan" on the wall and nodded slightly.
"Luoguan Town is a must-go place for Luocheng. It seems that this trip is not far away."
Ye Chunyang walked into the town.
Although Luoguan Town is small, there is no shortage of various restaurants and shops. However, this is a town for mortals after all, and it is not comparable to the market of immortal cultivators or the immortal cultivation city. There is only the simple atmosphere of the locals.
Ye Chunyang chose a seat in a restaurant and sat down.
When the shopkeeper saw him and Ye Xiaobao dressed as immortals, he immediately showed respect: "Master, it is a great honor for you to visit our shop. Master, what do you want to eat? I will ask the kitchen to prepare it immediately."
In the eyes of mortals, immortals can swallow fire and spit ice, and their lifespans far exceed those of mortals, almost like gods.
In this remote town, except for the famous immortal family in Luocheng, there are almost no other immortals who come here to purchase some supplies occasionally. Seeing Ye Chunyang, they are naturally in awe.
"Give me a pot of sake and a few dishes."
Ye Chunyang ordered casually.
He just took a short rest in Luoguan Town to see if he could find out some news about the Yan family in Luocheng. He would not stay for too long and was not particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The shopkeeper did not dare to neglect it at all, and hurriedly asked the servants to prepare.
Ye Chunyang waited here quietly.
At this moment, his expression moved, and his eyes swept to a corner.
There were two women sitting there, wearing cloaks and black veils covering their faces, exuding a mysterious aura.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Chunyang's eyes.
There was a fluctuation of spiritual energy on these two women, and they were also cultivators, and they looked familiar.
After looking at them for a few more times, Ye Chunyang smiled.
"It turned out to be them, what a coincidence."
"But listening to their conversation at this time, it seems that they are avoiding someone's pursuit?"
With Ye Chunyang's powerful divine consciousness, he didn't need to eavesdrop, and the other party's conversation fell into his ears clearly.
At this time, one of the two women, a petite woman, said: "Sister, why hasn't Elder Yan Ling come yet? Didn't he receive our message?"
"No, Elder Yan Ling replied to me yesterday that he would come here soon to meet us." The other woman next to him was tall and shook her head with a firm look.
"But we have been waiting here for two days. Now there are Yan Changkong's spies everywhere in Luoguan Town. If Elder Yan Ling doesn't come again, I'm afraid we will be exposed." The petite woman said worriedly.
The tall woman frowned slightly.
She glanced around and said, "It is indeed not suitable to stay in Luoguan Town for a long time, but Elder Yan Ling is our only hope now. No matter what, we will wait for another day. If there is no news, we will make other plans."
"It seems that this is the only way." The petite woman fell silent.
After a long time, her eyes were slightly red, and she said, "Yan Changkong is ambitious and took advantage of the ancestor's death to attack the various branches of the clan. Now the Yan family is completely controlled by him. Our Yan family's direct lineage has been killed by him, even my father and mother..."
At the end of the words, the petite woman's tears fell, her eyes were full of deep hatred.
The tall woman also trembled slightly, her expression was desolate.
"My parents won't die in vain."
The petite girl took a deep breath and said, "I must avenge this. Yan Changkong owes us, and we must pay him back eventually!"
"Sister, don't be impulsive."
The tall girl was also very angry, but she was more calm and steady than the petite girl: "Yan Changkong is a strong man who has achieved a minor success in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. When the ancestor was alive, he could still be suppressed. Now that the ancestor has passed away, no one in the clan can be his enemy. The clan members risked their lives to escort us out, and they definitely didn't let us fight against the stone with an egg."
Their cultivation level is only the tenth level of Qi Refining, and facing the Spiritual Transformation Realm is like an insurmountable mountain.
"What should I do? Do I have to watch Yan Changkong live freely in the world and ignore the revenge of my parents?" The petite girl said coldly.
"Of course, the revenge of my parents must be avenged, but it also requires long-term planning."
The tall girl persuaded painstakingly.
"Yan Changkong has a high level of cultivation. Now, let alone revenge, he will die if his whereabouts are exposed. To take revenge, we must be patient. One day, when our cultivation is sufficient, we will definitely make him pay with blood!"
The reason they were able to escape from this family upheaval was because of the desperate protection of their clansmen. The tall woman knew that they would never want to see her die.
The petite woman was silent.
After a moment, she shook her head gently, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, and said: "I know what my sister said, but with the gap between us and Yan Changkong, how long do we have to practice to compete with him?"
"So now we have to wait for Elder Yan Ling to join us."
The tall woman smiled.
"It is said that Elder Yan Ling has some friendship with a senior from the Cang Yuan Sect, and he himself is also a master who has reached the perfect Dao Foundation Realm. My father asked us to seek refuge with this elder before he died, which shows that he is trustworthy."
The tall woman smiled and comforted: "If you can join the Cang Yuan Sect to practice with the recommendation of Elder Yan Ling, you may have a chance to compete with Yan Changkong."
"But the Cang Yuan Sect has only held a disciple recruitment meeting every three years. Last time, our cultivation and age did not meet the requirements. Now the time limit has passed. Is it still possible for us to join it?" The petite woman's face was uncertain.
The tall woman was stunned when she heard this.
Just as she was about to say something, she looked outside the restaurant and suddenly her face brightened.
"Elder Yan Ling?"
At the door, an old man was walking towards this place.
The old man had gray hair, a yellow robe, and deep wrinkles on his face. He looked old and frail, and his eyes were shining, giving people a deep and sharp feeling.
"Elder Yan Ling, my two sisters have been waiting here for a long time. You are finally here."
The two women stood up to greet the visitor with joy in their eyes.
"I had some small things to deal with temporarily, which delayed me for some time. I have kept the eldest and second ladies waiting for a long time."
The old man named "Yan Ling" walked towards the two women calmly.
"Although I have been away for many years, I have heard some things about the clan recently. I didn't expect that the ancestor and the clan leader would both die." After the old man sat down, he sighed softly.
The two women's faces dimmed.
The old man looked at them and asked, "You mentioned in your letter that you want me to introduce you to the Cang Yuan Sect?"
The two women looked at each other, and the tall woman showed her serious face, nodded and said sincerely, "Yes, I heard that Elder Yan Ling is familiar with the senior masters of the Cang Yuan Sect. Now that the family is controlled by thieves, we two sisters can only pin our hopes on this. Please help us, Elder Yan Ling."
"You are the daughters of the clan leader. As a member of the Yan family, it is only natural for me to help you."
The old man waved his hand kindly, seemingly generously.
The two women were relieved when they heard this.
But just as the two sisters showed their joy, they saw that the old man looked a little weird and said, "But I think you still don't need to go to the Cang Yuan Sect. It might be better to go back to the Yan family with me directly."
"Go back to the Yan family?"
The two women were stunned.
The petite girl frowned and said, "Now the Yan family has been controlled by Yan Changkong. Wouldn't it be a trap for us to go back?"
"A trap for ourselves?"
The old man smiled faintly, "Didn't you do the same thing when you sent me a message?"
"Elder Yan Ling, what do you mean by this?" The tall woman's eyes were stern, and she heard something wrong in the other party's words.
The old man smiled but said nothing.
At this time, a sneer came from outside: "What does Elder Yan Ling mean? The two ladies don't understand. Why don't I tell you?"
Several figures walked into the restaurant. The leader had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a strong aura. He turned out to be a master of the Dao Foundation Realm.
"Yan Chengtian, it's you!"
The two women's faces changed.
This Yan Chengtian is a junior of Yan Changkong, who is highly regarded by the latter. He is in charge of the Yan family and is also one of the leaders of this search for them.
"If it weren't for Elder Yan Ling telling us, we really wouldn't have thought that you were hiding in Luoguan Town."
Yan Chengtian sneered.
As she spoke, she clasped her fists to Yan Ling and said, "Thanks to Elder Yan Ling's help this time. When I return to the clan, I will ask my uncle for credit for you."
"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
Yan Ling waved his hand and smiled calmly.
The tall woman's eyes were cold.
From the scene before her, how could she not see that Yan Ling had probably already surrendered to Yan Changkong and came here to hunt them down.
The petite woman was full of anger.
She stared at the old man with cold eyes and said angrily, "Yan Ling, the ancestor treated you well when he was alive, and my father treated you very well. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be here today. I didn't expect you to turn against me and surrender to Yan Changkong now!"
"You are right. The ancestor and your father did treat me well. It's a pity that the ancestor has passed away and your father has also passed away. Now Yan Changkong is the helmsman of the Yan family. If I don't surrender to him, will I be a stray dog like you?"
The old man sneered.
"Despicable villain!"
The petite woman clenched her fists tightly, extremely angry.
The old man sneered and did not answer.
"Elder Yan Ling took advantage of the situation and is a man who knows the times. You two have no way to escape now. It is better to surrender obediently. Maybe you can suffer less."
Yan Chengtian next to him interrupted with a joking look.
The tall woman's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. She thought that she would be introduced by Yan Ling to join the Cangyuan Sect to practice forbearance, but she didn't expect that she would be at the end of the road.
"Is it God's will to kill us two sisters?"
The tall woman felt sad.
She took a step forward, her expression determined, and said: "Kill me if you want to, why bother? Even if our direct lineage is dead, Yan Changkong will never get his wish!"
"Hehe, you still dare to be stubborn when you are about to die, do you think you are still the high and mighty eldest lady of the Yan family? If you fall into my hands, it will be difficult for you to die even if you want to!"
"The Yan family in Luocheng is doing business here, everyone get out of here, otherwise I will kill you without mercy!"
Yan Chengtian grinned.
After he finished speaking, he swept his eyes around the restaurant and began to clear the place.
