Xu Ziyyan left the valley where the scar-faced one-armed man lived, carrying the confusion in her heart as she flew through the sky. After flying for three more days, Xu Ziyyan finally reached the edge of the Cang Mang Mountains. Looking down at the secluded valley, she was momentarily lost in thought, feeling a myriad of emotions.
Descending from the sky, she sat on the defensive structure they had built. In her hand, she played with the storage bracelet and ring given to her by the scar-faced one-armed man. She had already examined the pills in the bracelet, which contained various types of pills from the Qi Condensation stage to the Core Formation stage, in large quantities and a wide variety.
The space inside the bracelet was quite large, about a hundred cubic meters, and was filled to the brim with various pills. From the storage capacity of the bracelet, Xu Ziyyan deduced that the scar-faced one-armed man must have been a prominent figure in his time. Such a large storage bracelet was not something just anyone could possess. What surprised Xu Ziyyan the most was that no trace of spiritual energy from a storage-type magical treasure could be detected from the bracelet. No matter how she probed, it appeared to be an ordinary decorative bracelet. The storage ring was the same.
Judging from the wide variety and large number of pills inside, Xu Ziyyan also concluded that the scar-faced one-armed man was a highly skilled alchemy master. Otherwise, how could he have so many pills, and some of them clearly had been recently refined.
The ring she gave to Xu Lin, although Xu Ziyyan had not checked it, she imagined that the space inside it would definitely be larger than her bracelet, and the number of pills would be greater.
Such a person had been forced to hide deep in the Cang Mang Mountains. What kind of experts must exist on this continent! This made Xu Ziyyan both fearful and filled with fighting spirit.
Since coming to this world, Xu Ziyyan had realized the differences between this world and her original one. Everything here had to be resolved through martial power. With martial power, one had everything.
Direct! Violent!
Xu Ziyyan's indomitable spirit had been deeply ingrained in her soul. She always faced unknown dangers with a fighting spirit. Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to be an archaeologist in her previous life. After coming to this world, her first action was to fight against fate, refusing a forced marriage and angrily killing the village chief.
Therefore, when Xu Ziyyan encountered a higher level of experts, her fighting spirit outweighed her fear. Unconsciously, her fighting spirit permeated her body, startling the birds in the trees, which flew high into the sky with a "flutter."
Xu Ziyyan was suddenly startled awake, looking up at the birds circling in the sky, and couldn't help but bitterly think:
"Is my fighting spirit only capable of scaring birds?"
After some consideration, Xu Ziyyan checked her cultivation and felt that although she had reached the peak of the first layer of the Foundation Establishment stage, her realm was not yet stable due to her rapid advancement. It had been less than half a month, and there were still five months until the grand competition in the capital city. She decided to stabilize her realm in the outer hall first, as it wouldn't take much time.
After making up her mind, Xu Ziyyan stood up and transferred most of the pills from the storage bracelet to the Kunpeng's heart, leaving only a small portion in the bracelet. As she transferred them, she thought bitterly:
"Those pills in the bracelet and ring are not just for me and Xu Lin; they are enough for the entire family to cultivate."
She put the bracelet on her wrist, stored the storage ring inside the bracelet, and then took out a talisman pen and paper from her storage bag to create a concealment talisman, which she stored in her body, adjusting her cultivation to the peak of the twelfth layer of the Later Heaven stage. After tidying up, she headed towards the capital city.
Inside the capital city.
The Xu family.
The atmosphere was tense. The news brought back by Xu Wenli and Xu Yundong shocked the upper echelons of the Xu family. As the representative of the Tai Xuan Sect in the northern secular world, the Xu family had a communication flying sword left by the Tai Xuan Sect.
On the night of the same day, the upper echelons of the Xu family held a meeting and decided to leave a message on the flying sword, which was then released. The flying sword shot into the sky, heading towards the Tai Xuan Sect.
However, four days had passed, and there was no response from the Tai Xuan Sect. The upper echelons of the Xu family realized that something must have happened to the Tai Xuan Sect. As a result, they had to face the alliance of the Zhou family from Cang Lang City and the Yang family from Nan Lin City, as well as the immediate threat from the capital city's governor, the Xiao family, and the Wu family. This made Xu Haoran and others feel overwhelmed and exhausted.
In this situation, the Xu family had lost Xu Ziyyan, who could provide talismans for the family. Especially after hearing Xu Wenli and Xu Yundong describe the power of Xu Ziyyan's talismans, they felt even more heartache at losing her.
However, Xu Haoran had learned his lesson this time. Without seeing Xu Ziyyan's body, he did not announce her death or gather the entire clan to honor her as he did last time. The last incident still made Xu Haoran feel embarrassed, and he did not want to make the same mistake again.
At the gate of the Xu family, four people were walking towards the gate. A middle-aged woman and three young men, one of whom looked somewhat mentally challenged.
The middle-aged woman's face was filled with grief and resentment, and the two normal young men had grim expressions as they followed behind her. The mentally challenged one was lagging behind, smiling foolishly.
The woman walked straight to the gate of the Xu family and knelt down with a "thud," crying out loudly:
"I want to see the patriarch! I want to see the patriarch! I am wronged! My wrongfully killed husband!"
"Thud! Thud!"
The two young men behind her also knelt down at the gate, stretching their necks and shouting:
"We want to see the patriarch! We are wronged!"
Only the mentally challenged one remained standing, watching his mother and brothers cry and shout, smiling foolishly.
"Shut up!"
A person slowly walked out from the gate, his face as cold as water, his eyes filled with anger, and a hint of killing intent in his gaze.
This person was the outer hall manager of the Xu family. Although he did not know what had happened to the family, the patriarch, the hall masters, and the elders had all been visibly troubled and irritable recently. He had been scolded many times. Now, a few people had come to kneel at the family's gate, stretching their necks and crying out for justice. Wasn't this just adding to his troubles? If the patriarch found out, even if he wasn't punished, a scolding was inevitable.
At this moment, Xu Ziyyan also returned to the family's gate. Seeing three people kneeling at the gate and one standing with his back to her, and recognizing them, she curiously walked forward.
The middle-aged woman kneeling at the gate also saw Xu Ziyyan, her expression momentarily stunned. Suddenly, she jumped up from the ground, lunging at Xu Ziyyan with her teeth bared and hands clawing, crying and cursing:
"You little slut, give me back my husband's life!"
