205: Chapter 205 Xu Chuan

"Senior Brother Xu Chuan is the Disciple of Senior Martial Uncle Tu Zhan and a member of the Xu Family from Shangjun City. He broke through to the Bitter Sea Realm six months ago and is currently visiting relatives at home."

Gong Hui said in a heavy voice.

He felt it was necessary to find an assistant.

Two days ago, they were attacked again by an assassin from the Shadow Kill Sect. The opponent was also a cultivator in the Spirit Treasury Realm and was equally proficient in the Dao of assassination.

If he hadn't been alert and discovered the opponent's presence in time, they would have almost succeeded.

But even so, he had to exert almost all his strength to deal with the opponent.

Little did he know, with Gong Hui's own strength, it was actually difficult to detect the assassin's presence. It was Lin Ming who had discovered the assassin and proactively caused them to reveal a flaw, allowing Gong Hui to find an opportunity.

Gong Hui felt that they must find someone stronger than them to protect them.

Coincidentally, Shangjun City was on the path of their current journey, which reminded Gong Hui of Senior Brother Xu Wanchuan.

"There's no need to trouble Senior Brother Xu, is there?"

Lin Ming said.

This caused the image of a kind old man to appear in Lin Ming's mind.

Elder Tu Zhan—don't let his kind appearance fool you; his temper was actually quite explosive.

And Lin Ming naturally understood what Gong Hui meant.

"Your safety is of the utmost importance."

Gong Hui said solemnly.

Lin Ming and Su Lianxue were Old Ancestor Yun Hua's Disciples. Furthermore, Lin Ming was the number one person in the Spirit Platform Realm of Yuanxu Mountain, while Su Lianxue had rushed from being an ordinary person directly to the third realm of cultivation in less than a year since joining the Sect, possessing a terrifying Nine-and-a-half-segment aptitude.

Yu Yaoqin was the daughter of the Peak Master of Hidden Sword Peak.

Hu Congmeng was a Bloodline descendant of a Nirvana Great Demon of the Purple Spirit Illusion Fox clan.

The backgrounds of these four were all extraordinary.

Nothing could be allowed to happen to these four people.

Although he didn't know why Old Ancestor Yun Hua and the Hidden Sword Peak Master hadn't sent other experts to protect them—perhaps it was for the sake of tempering them.

But the current dangerous situation already involved a threat to their lives.

Therefore, he felt it was very necessary to supplement their group with a more powerful combat force.

"I understand."

Seeing Gong Hui's determined look, Lin Ming knew he had made up his mind, and they probably wouldn't be able to talk him out of it.

So he went along with his wishes.

Xu Manor

After some inquiries, the group found the location of the Xu Manor, but they were blocked outside.

"Who are you? What business do you have at our Xu Manor?"

The guard at the gate said with a serious face.

"Please hand this item to Senior Brother Xu Chuan."

Gong Hui then took out a token and gave it to the guard.

"Senior Brother?!"

This term immediately caught the attention of one of them. That person instantly realized what "Senior Brother" implied and hurriedly rushed into the manor.

The other person still looked dazed, not realizing what had happened.

A moment later, Xu Chuan came out. He quickly walked out of the Xu Manor and approached Lin Ming and the others.

"Junior Brother Gong, what wind blew you here?"

Xu Chuan looked at Gong Hui and laughed heartily.

"Junior Brother Lin? Junior Sister Yu?"

Xu Chuan then noticed the presence of Lin Ming and Yu Yaoqin. As for Su Lianxue, Xu Chuan naturally knew of her existence but didn't know her particularly well, especially since she was wearing a mask.

"Senior Brother Xu, aren't you going to invite us in?"

Gong Hui smiled.

"Please."

Only then did Xu Chuan react, hurriedly inviting them inside.

Entering the Xu Manor, the group followed Xu Chuan to a spacious room.

"Junior Brother, why have you appeared here?"

Xu Chuan looked at them and asked with a hint of curiosity.

"So you are traveling together with your Junior Brother and Junior Sisters."

Gong Hui nodded.

"Senior Brother Xu."

Lin Ming and the others then greeted him.

"Senior Brother Xu, this is Old Ancestor Yun Hua's second Disciple, Su Lianxue."

Gong Hui introduced her to Xu Chuan.

Su Lianxue?!

Xu Chuan was shocked.

Two of Old Ancestor Yun Hua's Disciples were here, plus the daughter of the Hidden Sword Peak Master. Was there some special mission?

"Senior Brother Xu, I am taking them to Yanyun Mountain on this trip."

Gong Hui said.

"For the flame essence liquid, right?"

Xu Chuan immediately realized.

He knew what Lin Ming and the others' goal was—flame essence liquid.

As a spiritual item unique to Yanyun Mountain, it was of great benefit to cultivators in the Spirit Platform Realm.

Furthermore, flame essence liquid could not be preserved for long; once it was stored for more than two days, it would completely lose its efficacy.

Therefore, flame essence liquid had to be used immediately after it was produced to exert its best effect.

No wonder they were rushing to Yanyun Mountain.

"That's right."

Gong Hui then nodded.

"Senior Brother, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Gong Hui also stated the purpose of his visit at this moment.

"Speak."

Xu Chuan nodded.

Next, Gong Hui told Xu Chuan about the attacks they had received over the past few days and their conjectures.

"These thieves of the Demonic Path are getting more and more rampant."

Xu Chuan said in a heavy voice.

"I will naturally help with this favor."

Xu Chuan immediately agreed.

As a Disciple of Yuanxu Mountain, he had no reason not to help.

Especially for Lin Ming, Su Lianxue, and Yu Yaoqin.

As Disciples of a Nirvana Ancestor, their own Aptitude was not bad, and they were likely to surpass him in the future.

There was also the daughter of the Hidden Sword Peak Master, who was the same.

Befriending them brought no harm, only benefits.

Therefore, Xu Chuan had no reason to refuse.

"It just so happens that it's time for me to return to the Sect as well."

Xu Chuan said.

His time visiting relatives was almost up, and calculating the time, he should be returning to the Sect.

He could return to the Sect together with Lin Ming and the others.

"Thank you for the trouble, Senior Brother."

Lin Ming smiled.

"We are all one family; it's no trouble at all."

Xu Chuan laughed.

At this time, a middle-aged man and an old man walked out.

"Uncle, Father."

Xu Chuan greeted the two.

The middle-aged man was the head of the Xu Family, and the old man was Xu Chuan's father, who was also an Elder of the Xu Family.

"I heard that people from Yuanxu Mountain have arrived, yet you didn't even notify us, Xiao Chuan."

Xu Youshan said with a smile.

They didn't dare to neglect Disciples from Yuanxu Mountain. Their Xu Family was just an ordinary cultivation family in Shangjun City. Thanks to Xu Chuan joining Yuanxu Mountain and being taken as a Disciple by an Elder of Shangyang Peak, their development in Shangjun City had become much smoother.

Especially after Xu Chuan broke through to the Bitter Sea Realm six months ago, the Xu Family's friends had become more and more numerous.

Of course, Xu Youshan knew that a large part of the reason was because of Xu Chuan and the Yuanxu Mountain behind him.

Therefore, after learning that Disciples from Yuanxu Mountain had come to the door, he had immediately come over.

"Uncle, these are my Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters from Yuanxu Mountain."

Xu Chuan smiled slightly and said.

He didn't casually disclose the identities of Lin Ming and the others, simply referring to them as Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters.

"Also, I am preparing to return to Yuanxu Mountain."
