Immortal Cultivation Family: Start By Accepting Dao Companions

On the other side.

The Chen Family Treasure Hunting Team has found a wild spiritual vein.

In the Far Peak County, within the Far Peak Mountains.

Chen Chuling and Chen Yunqi, along with the treasure hunting team, arrived at a deep forest.

"Rustle...!"

It was deep autumn, with yellow leaves covering the ground.

As they stepped forward, the dry leaves rustled under their feet.

"It's just ahead. The terrain and the concentration of spiritual energy there are unusual. It's a spring."

The leader of the treasure hunting team, Chen Xinglai, said. He was at the early stage of Foundation Building.

His talent for treasure hunting was even praised by Chen Wuji.

He threw a copper seal into the air.

In an instant, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Let's go!"

Next to a spiritual spring, Chen Xinglai pointed downwards.

"It's right here. Judging from the leaked spiritual energy, it should be a second-grade spiritual vein!"

He was somewhat excited. This was his first harvest since becoming a disciple.

And it turned out to be a second-grade spiritual vein.

"Dig!"

Chen Chuling and Chen Chuyun exchanged a glance and took out two low-grade magic artifacts.

With the activation of their mana, nearby rocks were easily broken.

In just a few moments, a sparkling spiritual vein was revealed.

"A second-grade spiritual vein! We hit the jackpot!"

The group was delighted and looked at Chen Xinglai, saying, "Nephew Xinglai, you've made a great contribution this time!"

"It's my duty to work for the family!"

Once this spiritual vein was brought back, the family's resources would be replenished.

Beside them, Chen Chuyuan and Chen Xingxing were also excited.

The group worked diligently to expose the spiritual vein.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the dense forest, followed by the sound of a weapon cutting through the air.

Chen Xingxing's eyes flashed, and he immediately stopped his work and shouted to the people around him, "Quick, someone's coming!"

"Whoosh!"

An arrow flew past Chen Xingxing's shoulder, piercing through the nearby rocks and creating a large hole.

"Enemy attack!"

Chen Xingxing kicked a boulder in the distance, shattering it, and several spells flew towards them.

A playful voice sounded, "Leave, and I won't kill you."

Around them, more than ten figures approached, their faces filled with ferocity and a hint of playful smiles. A faint smell of blood emanated from them.

From their appearance, they looked like a group of outlaws.

Each of them carried a weapon on their back, and one person held a bow, pointing it at Chen Xingxing.

Anger appeared on Chen Chuling's face as he quietly transmitted a message to Chen Xinglai, telling him to take advantage of the chaos and leave.

Chen Chuyuan looked somewhat apprehensive. After all, they had fewer people on their side, and there were only four capable fighters.

The eleven Foundation Building cultivators on the other side were all outlaws who had lived by the sword for many years, and their occasional fierce and ruthless expressions were enough to prove that they had killed many people.

However, with a second-grade spiritual vein behind them, even if their family was powerful, they couldn't easily give up.

A burly man dressed in beast skin and holding a large knife smiled as he looked at Chen Chuling and the others.

"Are you going to leave or not?"

"I know which major power you belong to. Don't think that we'll retreat just because you reveal your identity."

Chen Chuling didn't say anything, but silently approached the other three, forming a defensive circle.

"Let's go, our Blood Wolf Gang doesn't want trouble, we just want this spiritual vein."

The man laughed, but his gaze was icy as he stared at Chen Chuling, who had the highest cultivation level.

By default, he was the leader of the four.

"The Blood Wolf Gang?!" Chen Chuling's face darkened.

In Great Chu, there were not only major forces, but also countless independent cultivators.

There were also some bloodthirsty individuals who were wanted by the Great Chu royal family.

The Blood Wolf Gang was such an existence, gathering powerful independent cultivators and fugitives.

They would plunder other forces, commit murder and arson, and seize resources.

They were notorious gangs in the southern region, and it was unexpected that they would encounter them today.

"That's right, since you've heard of our name, I don't need to say more."

"I'll give you three breaths of time. After three breaths, don't bother with us anymore!"

The man grinned, revealing slightly yellowed teeth, which added a touch of ferocity that made people shudder.

The other ten people around were all at the Foundation Building stage.

Chen Chuling clenched his fist and looked at the three people on his side.

"The opponent has two peak Foundation Building cultivators, three late-stage cultivators, and the rest are at the early stage. Do we have a chance?"

Among the three on his side, there were three peak Foundation Building cultivators and one late-stage cultivator.

Otherwise, the other side wouldn't have been talking tough and would have attacked long ago.

"We can't retreat like this either. The Chen family's descendants are not weaker than others!"

Chen Xingxing said in a deep voice, his gaze fixed on the surrounding bandits.

"Alright, since Xingxing isn't afraid, us elders can't back down either!"

Chen Yunqi said in a low voice, and a long sword slipped out from his sleeve.

"I'll face the leader, Yunqi will fight another peak Foundation Building cultivator, and the rest is up to you."

"Remember, as long as there's a way out, we won't be afraid. If we can't beat them, we'll run!"

Chen Chuling said in a low voice, slipping out a pair of eagle claws.

"Understood!"

The three nodded.

"What do you think? Have you made up your mind?"

"I'll show you what I think, Whirlwind Slash!"

The four suddenly burst into action. Chen Xingxing shouted, and a blood-red great sword appeared in his hand.

He spun like a whirlwind and slashed towards a late-stage Foundation Building cultivator beside the leader.

"Bold, you really don't know the meaning of life and death!"

The leader's face darkened, and his spiritual power burst forth. The two sides engaged in battle.

The scene was chaotic.

Chen Xingxing's black pupils suddenly turned fiery red, and his blood was ignited, terrifyingly so.

His footsteps created a gust of wind, and his sword qi seemed to cut through the sky.

One slash, two slashes.

The bandit was forced to retreat step by step, and finally, Chen Xingxing's blade picked up, slashing from a cunning angle.

Instantly, blood splattered.

This scene happened in just a moment, and the opponent directly fell.

Even some of the other bandits nearby hadn't had a chance to intervene before they saw a head rolling towards them.

In the midst of the shocked gazes, Chen Xingxing swung his sword again, directly attacking the person closest to him.

"You die, or I forget!"

A loud shout rang out, and Chen Xingxing, like a mad beast, directly crushed the opponent with his immense blood and qi.

Among cultivators of the same level, close combat was king.

The opponent was also unaware of how formidable Chen Xingxing was in solo combat, with an incredibly strong physical body.

For a moment, they suffered a big loss, with two late-stage Foundation Building cultivators falling.

In the chaotic forest, Chen Xingxing's blade dripped with crimson blood, his gaze fierce and ruthless.

For a moment, the bandits couldn't tell who the real killer was.

"Don't let that kid get close, attack together!"

Finally, they also reacted and distanced themselves, starting to unleash their spells.

A torrential attack came, but Chen Xingxing's footsteps created a gust of wind, leaving a large pit on the ground.

"Slash!"
