325: Chapter 325 Assault
Several days later, Chen Xuanyi arrived at the Qingxi Market jointly established by the three Foundation Establishment families in the Qingxi Mountain Range.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator mentioned by the Lin Family was currently staying right here. If the other party were not too arrogant and actually ran straight to the Qingxi Market, the Lin Family might not even have known that the other party had tracked them down here.
However, the other party had actually been staying inside the market all along, seemingly with no intention of making a move yet.
Before coming, Chen Xuanyi had actually asked Lin Yihan which faction was at feud with their Lin Family.
They did not know how that faction was currently doing, but over six hundred years ago, it was a genuine Purple Mansion faction with two Purple Palace Cultivators, and its Sect was named the Rain Dragon Sect.
After Chen Xuanyi arrived, the Lin Family sent a Cultivator to welcome him.
"Senior, please follow me." A Lin Family Cultivator said.
He was in charge of intelligence for the Lin Family in this market. The arrival of Chen Xuanyi had already been discovered; after all, Chen Xuanyi had only concealed his Qi, not completely masking his whereabouts.
Chen Xuanyi followed behind him, walking all the way until he arrived at an inn specially arranged by the Lin Family.
This inn was very crude, but it was protected by a Tier 2 Formation inside, as well as a Tier 2 Spirit Gathering Formation.
"The Lin Family has provided poor hospitality, and I hope Senior will forgive us," Lin Yiming apologized.
Looking at the crude environment with only a few chairs and a table nearby, Chen Xuanyi shook his head.
"Alright, hand over the intelligence on that person to me." He said.
Hearing this, Lin Yiming did not dare to delay and hurriedly took out a jade medallion.
Chen Xuanyi took it and extended his Divine Sense into it. After a short while, his brows furrowed slightly.
The newcomer was named Zhang Peng, with a cultivation base as high as the eighth Rank of Foundation Establishment. He was powerful, and ordinary ninth Rank Foundation Establishment Cultivators were no match for him.
No wonder the other party only sent one person.
Fortunately, however, he had reached the ninth Rank of Foundation Establishment and was confident in taking down the opponent.
"Find a way to lure the other party out of the market, and then just leave this person to me," he said indifferently.
Beside him, Lin Yiming was shocked upon hearing this. The other party was at the eighth Rank of Foundation Establishment, and his strength was not weak. If not for the scruples of the other party regarding Tang Country, he probably would have made a move long ago. At the very least, with the strength of the Lin Family, they definitely could not block him.
Although the three Foundation Establishment families of the Qingxi Mountain Range would unite closely against external enemies, that was when facing enemies of the same Rank. If they were facing a Purple Palace faction, they would only stand by and watch.
Yet the person before him was so confident. Could it be that this Chen Family truly came from a Purple Mansion faction?
It must be so; otherwise, how would they dare to make a move to help their Lin Family?
"Senior, rest assured, we have already prepared this point. We are just waiting for Senior to arrive, and then we will join forces to strangle the opponent," Lin Yiming suppressed his inner turmoil and said respectfully.
"No need. Since it is a matter my Chen Family promised you, we will definitely accomplish it." Chen Xuanyi shook his head.
Then he told the other party to go down and prepare. As long as Zhang Peng was lured out, he would handle the subsequent matters.
After the other party left, several days later, Lin Yiming came to report.
"Senior, everything is ready, just waiting for you."
Chen Xuanyi did not speak, only nodding at him.
Following closely behind Lin Yiming, he walked toward the team of the Lin Family.
The method of the Lin Family was actually very simple. Every period of time, they would send out a caravan to trade, sometimes arranging for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator to be responsible for the transport.
Just like this time, if the other party wanted to destroy the Lin Family, they were destined to make a move against the Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Lin Family.
And this Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Lin Family was a woman. She seemed young, but her appearance was peerlessly beautiful, with an aura of detachment lingering around her body.
She was a member of the seventeenth generation of the Lin Family, of the Luo generation, named Lin Luochen.
Chen Xuanyi glanced at her, then boarded the flying boat under the arrangement of the Lin Family.
The cultivation base of Lin Luochen was not weak, reaching the third Rank of Foundation Establishment. That aura of hers suggested that the Dao foundation she forged probably reached the High Grade or even top-tier level.
It was just that her Family had declined. If she had been born in a Purple Mansion faction, she would definitely have the hope of achieving the Purple Mansion realm now.
Just like Chen Lingxi and Chen Lingtong of their Chen Family.
These two had great hopes of becoming Purple Palace Cultivators.
Chen Xuanyi thought no more of it, quietly sitting on the flying boat like the others. Their group consisted of a full thirteen people, heading in the direction of Tianli City.
Inside the market, a Divine Sense swept over. It was very covert, but it was still detected by Chen Xuanyi.
But he ignored it and continued to wait.
Several days later, until they arrived at a dense forest. This place was uninhabited, and almost no Cultivators passed by.
This route was not randomly chosen by the Lin Family; rather, it was one of the routes found and explored bit by bit by the caravans over the years that could avoid a large amount of danger.
After all, when a caravan traveled outside, it would sometimes encounter some rogue Cultivators.
Just as this flying boat continued forward, a piercing sound rang out from their rear-left.
Chen Xuanyi and Lin Luochen exchanged glances and nodded. The other party finally could not help but make a move.
"Quickly leave this flying boat." Lin Luochen hurriedly shouted to the surrounding Family members.
Hearing this, the Family members were terrified. An attack carrying terrifying might arrived before them in the blink of an eye.
Everyone immediately moved away from the flying boat. A few Family members were a step too late and were destroyed along with the flying boat.
"Damn it." Someone watched a close Family member die before their eyes, saying with grief in their heart.
Among the dozen or so people from the Lin Family, not everyone knew that an enemy would come to assassinate them.
After all, in order to complete this mission and naturally prevent clan members from inadvertently revealing the plans of the Lin Family, they had not told them.
Lin Luochen looked in the direction from which the attack came, and the others, along with Chen Xuanyi, also looked over.
But they did not perceive any information.
Without turning her head, Lin Luochen transmitted her voice: "Fellow Daoist Chen, can you find the other party?"
"No, the other party has concealed their Qi. Unless they are very close to us, I cannot track them," Chen Xuanyi explained.
The cultivation base of the other party was not much weaker than his. As long as they stayed a bit farther away and cast a Spell to conceal their Qi, he truly could not find them.
Hearing this, Lin Luochen did not reply, instead searching around.
It was not that she did not trust Chen Xuanyi, but rather to confuse Zhang Peng. If she accidentally exposed the existence of Chen Xuanyi, the other party might not dare to make a move again and would instead choose to flee directly.
Swoosh!
"Be careful," Chen Xuanyi reminded.
Hearing this, Lin Luochen hurriedly looked at the extremely covert attack on her right side and immediately dodged.
Just as she dodged and wanted to retreat, a figure rapidly approached, arriving before her eyes in a few steps.
What?
Lin Luochen was shocked in her heart and wanted to defend, but the attack of the opponent was faster than hers. Just as she thought she was going to die, Chen Xuanyi made a move.
Clang!
Two Flying Swords collided together.
The gaze of Zhang Peng flashed, and he immediately retreated.
"You knew about me long ago?"
"You entered the Qingxi Market so generously; it is hard not to attract attention," Lin Luochen said coldly.
"Hehe! So what? Does your Lin Family have the ability to escape from the palm of my hand?" Zhang Peng laughed loudly.
