33: Heading to Yuncheng, the branch is in trouble

Qingjian Sect!

Located on Luoqingshan, outside Luocheng, this mountain possesses a top-tier Profound Grade Origin Vein, making the Origin Qi around Qingjian Sect extremely rich, which is also the reason for Qingjian Sect's enduring prosperity!

On this day, a large purple bird flew above Qingjian Sect, its terrifying Aura causing a stir of panic within Qingjian Sect!

"I apologize for not knowing of Senior's arrival; please forgive me!"

Although the Qingjian Sect Old Ancestor was afraid, he still condensed his Origin Qi wings and flew into the air, bowing with clasped fists, not daring to look at the Purple Winged Eagle!

"Old Ancestor, it is inconvenient for me to show my face; please come closer to speak!"

A familiar voice entered his ears, and the Qingjian Sect Old Ancestor looked up in disbelief, only to see a young man looking at him from atop the Purple Winged Eagle!

"Xu..."

Just as he was about to exclaim, remembering what Xu Yuan had said, the Qingjian Sect Old Ancestor quickly stopped himself and bravely stepped forward!

Before long, the Purple Winged Eagle spread its wings and departed from Qingjian Sect!

Leaving behind only the stunned Qingjian Sect Old Ancestor!

"Xu Family..."

He watched the departing Purple Winged Eagle with a complicated gaze, then looked at the storage ring in his hand, and then his Divine Sense probed into the storage ring!

With just one glance, his breathing became heavy!

What greeted his eyes was a pile of crystalline Origin Stones, all Medium Grade Origin Stones, numbering a full one hundred thousand!

Following that were Heaven And Earth Treasure and Cultivation Technique Martial Skill of Profound Grade and Spirit Grade, and most importantly, two top-tier Marquis Grade Cultivation Technique and sword techniques, and a Marquis Realm Pill!

With these items, Qingjian Sect would be able to become a gold-tier force in the future!

"Xu Family, just who exactly are you?" the Qingjian Sect Old Ancestor murmured!

Putting away the storage ring, the Qingjian Sect Old Ancestor's hand now held a Spirit Sword, which was precisely the Qingjian Sect Old Ancestor's personal sword!

Looking at this sword, the Qingjian Sect Old Ancestor's eyes were complex and solemn; when Xu Yuan left, he told him that with this sword, Xu Yuan and his descendants could do three things within their power for Qingjian Sect!

"I hope my descendants never have to use it!" the Qingjian Sect Old Ancestor said faintly!

He had already heard about the Xuan Shui Palace incident, and the Xu Family's future was destined to be a smooth journey!

As long as the Xu Family stood strong, Qingjian Sect would not need to expend these three favors, and Qingjian Sect would be able to continue existing!

Sometimes, favors like these can also serve as a long-lasting foundation!

The commotion at Qingjian Sect also attracted the attention of some nearby forces!

They had originally thought that Qingjian Sect was about to suffer a calamity and were secretly delighted, but who would have thought that the other party was safe and sound!

This news was also reported to the City Lord of Qingfeng immediately, and he promptly reported the news, which immediately attracted the attention of Fengyan Marquis Estate!

On that very day, the Wang Family dispatched strong individuals to Qingjian Sect!

Of course, that is a story for later; at this moment, the Purple Winged Eagle flew a hundred li, bringing Xu Yuan to a mountain range, and then quickly shrunk its size, landing on Xu Yuan's shoulder!

"Is it resolved?"

At this time, Xu Liang and the others were already waiting here!

"Second Uncle, it's resolved!" Xu Yuan nodded!

"That's good! Let's hit the road now and bring the Yun City Branch members under our wing as soon as possible!"

Xu Liang had already learned from Xu Qing that the number of clan members was related to the clan's fortune, so after Xu Yuan's matter was resolved, he couldn't wait to set off!

A moment later, ten giant Azure Cloud Geese took flight; these were a type of gentle, giant flying Yao Beast, whose Cultivation could reach Fourth Order once they matured, with a body size of about thirty zhang, capable of carrying more than one-third of their body weight!

Moreover, their speed was not slow, able to travel a thousand li in a day, and many merchant caravans liked to tame this type of Yao Beast!

With the Purple Winged Eagle's help, subduing these low-tier Yao Beast was extremely simple!

The Xu Family's group on this trip included Xu Liang, Xu Bai of Treasure Depository Hall, and Xu Qiao from the fourth generation; Xu Yuan, Xu Ji, and several Disciples who had undergone Spirit Body Awakening from the fifth generation; as well as Deng Changyun and dozens of soldiers drawn from the military camp!

Naturally, this number of people didn't need so many Azure Cloud Geese!

But Xu Liang still brought ten, clearly intending to take the entire Yun City Branch with them!

Yun City and Qingfeng City were right next to each other, separated by only six thousand li; if they traveled fast, a round trip would only take about half a month!

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the forces along the way, but feeling the Aura from Deng Changyun, no one dared to step forward and obstruct them!

After all, Deng Changyun's Cultivation had already reached Yuan Ling Realm Perfection, making him one of the most top-tier individuals below the Marquis Realm!

Which Marquis Realm strong individual didn't stay in their Sect to Cultivate in seclusion, and wouldn't easily show their face, so with Deng Changyun present, their safety was assured, and at the very least, they still had the Purple Winged Eagle!

Seven days later, Xu Liang and his group arrived at Yun City!

Feeling the powerful pressure from the Azure Cloud Geese, the many Martial Artists outside the city all changed color!

Even if the Azure Cloud Geese were gentle, they were still Fourth Order Yao Beast, equivalent to Yuanhai Realm strong individuals; although Yun City had Yuan Ling Realm strong individuals, Yuanhai Realm Martial Artists should not be underestimated either!

Now, with ten Azure Cloud Geese appearing at once, ordinary silver-tier forces couldn't achieve that!

"Cousin, I'll leave this to you!"

After settling the Azure Cloud Geese in a plaza specially prepared for flying Yao Beast, Xu Liang and the others immediately planned to enter Yun City and bring the Yun City Branch under their wing!

And the Azure Cloud Geese needed someone to watch over them; although Xu Jie was only in the Yuanhai Realm Early Stage, the Cultivation Technique he Cultivated was of a high grade, and with various methods, even strong individuals in the Yuanhai Realm Late Stage couldn't do anything to him!

Xu Jie said, "Alright! You all go ahead!"

Xu Liang then led the group into Yun City!

At this moment, at the Xu Family in Yun City!

In the reception hall, the atmosphere was strange, and the faces of the Xu Family members were gloomy!

"How distinguished is my He Family's status? Your Xu Family is merely a bronze-tier Family; if it weren't for my Family's Young Ancestor liking a daughter of your Xu Family, your desire to climb up to my He Family would be nothing but a pipe dream!"

The contemptuous voice echoed through the hall, making the faces of the Xu Family members extremely unsightly; although raging anger surged within them, they dared not speak their minds!

The speaker was Elder He Qing, the Fifth Elder of the He Family in Fengyan County, a Martial Artist at Yuanhai Realm Perfection, and this He Family was a silver-tier force in Fengyan County, and one of the most well-established silver-tier forces!

The Family had six Yuan Ling Realm strong individuals, and their Old Ancestor was even a Yuan Ling Realm Perfection strong individual, only half a step away from the Marquis Realm!

Furthermore, this He Family had a close relationship with the gold-tier force Black River Sect; the Family's Old Ancestor was the Third Elder of Black River Sect, and with this connection, the He Family in Fengyan County could practically get whatever they wanted!

The other party's reason for coming to the Xu Family was only one: to propose marriage; if there was a chance to climb up to such a Family, the Xu Family would naturally be willing!

However, the object of the He Family's proposal was Xu Bingyu, the daughter of the current Family Head; her Cultivation talent was extremely high, and she had undergone the Awakening of the Xuan Jade Spirit Body, and without any accidents, she would be able to join a gold-tier force!

If the person the He Family was marrying into was a Genius of the He Family, then so be it, but it was that Young Ancestor of the He Family!

This person was the only son of the He Family Old Ancestor; the Old Ancestor had him late in life, so he doted on him immensely, and because of this, the other party was ignorant and incompetent, bullying men and women, and his notorious reputation was heard even by the Xu Family in Yun City!

How could the Xu Family allow their proud daughter of heaven to marry such a good-for-nothing!

However, due to the He Family's prestige, although they were angry, they dared not speak their minds!

"Elder He, how can our Xu Family, with our limited virtue and ability, dare to climb up to the He Family? Therefore, we absolutely dare not form a marriage alliance with your esteemed Family, so as not to bring shame to your esteemed Family; please forgive us, Elder He!"

Xu Bin, the Xu Family Head, immediately followed Elder He Qing's words and declined!

Elder He Qing's face darkened upon hearing this!

"Xu Bin, are you playing games with me?"

Xu Bin said somewhat aggrievedly, "Elder He is joking; even if I, Xu, had boundless courage, I wouldn't dare to play games with Elder He!"

"Hmph! This Old Man is not here to discuss with you today; whether your Xu Family agrees to this marriage today or not, you will agree!"

With that, He Bin's Origin Qi surged out, condensing a phantom wolf beast behind him, and the powerful Aura caused the Xu Family members' faces to turn pale!

"Elder He, this is the Xu Family!"

A phantom furious lion also rose from Xu Bin's body, followed by three more phantom exotic beasts rising, and although the superimposed Aura was still weaker than Elder He Qing's, if they were to fight, Elder He Qing would inevitably be injured!

"Is the Xu Family trying to provoke my He Family?" Elder He Qing asked coldly!

"Elder He, it is not my Xu Family that wants to provoke the He Family, but rather your He Family is being overly aggressive; although my Yun City Xu Family is not as powerful as your He Family, other branches of my Xu Family also have an Old Ancestor who is an Elder of Canglang Valley; please, Elder He, do not harm yourself!"

Xu Bin said, unwilling to show weakness, this was also their confidence; at worst, they would send their daughter to Canglang Valley!

Although they had been out of contact with those two branches for decades, they would surely remember old ties!

Elder He Qing's expression changed slightly upon hearing this; he hadn't expected such a small Xu Family to have such a connection!

That Canglang Valley was even stronger than Black River Sect!

For a moment, he found himself in a difficult position!
