Longevity Immortal Fate: Begins with Dao Companion

"Madam, what would you like to drink?"

On the way, a group of people riding bicycles got tired and found a hillside to rest.

It has been four hours since they set off on this journey.

During these four hours, they had been riding non-stop towards the Lingyao Valley, until the horses couldn't take it anymore, so they took a break.

Gu Changsheng took out some water and handed it to Xie Wanzhi.

Xie Wanzhi gently picked up the water cup and handed it to Gu Changsheng, "Husband, you drink first."

Gu Changsheng smiled and glanced at her, "Alright, I'll drink."

He took a sip and then handed the cup to Xie Wanzhi, "You drink too."

"Okay." Xie Wanzhi took a sip of water. It wasn't sweet, but it felt sweet in her heart.

"Husband, are we almost at the Lingyao Valley?" Xie Wanzhi didn't feel shy and leaned directly on Gu Changsheng's shoulder, asking softly.

Gu Changsheng looked at a huge mountain range in the distance and pointed, "That's the Tianling Mountain Range. The Lingyao Valley of the Huo family is hidden within it. We'll be there in half an hour."

"The Lingyao Valley is in such a remote place, it's really dangerous." Xie Wanzhi shook her head. "If we encounter powerful cultivators attacking us, it would be difficult to survive. It would take a long time for the Huo family to send reinforcements."

Gu Changsheng nodded, "Indeed."

The Lingyao Valley was too far from the Huo family and hidden deep in the mountains and forests, making it extremely vulnerable to attacks. However, the only advantage was that it was relatively easy to hide.

"After resting for another five minutes, we'll set off." an old man said.

He was an elder of the Huo family named Huo Zhan, with the cultivation level of the Foundation Building stage.

He had a good relationship with Huo Qianzhong, so he took care of Gu Changsheng along the way.

Gu Changsheng pulled Xie Wanzhi and prepared to get on the horse.

"Gu Changsheng, wait a moment."

Suddenly--

A shout came from behind him.

Gu Changsheng turned around and saw a young man with a simple appearance smiling at him.

This person was named 'Huo Yuan' and had the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining. He was not considered an important figure within the Huo family, so he was assigned to guard the Lingyao Valley on this trip.

Huo Yuan was bored along the way and often chatted with Gu Changsheng.

"What's the matter?" Gu Changsheng asked.

"I heard that you are a first-grade master of talismans. I have a talisman here that I need you to take a look at." Huo Yuan nodded.

Gu Changsheng nodded, "What kind of talisman is it?"

Huo Yuan slowly walked towards Gu Changsheng, and a red talisman appeared in his hand.

Soon, he arrived in front of Gu Changsheng and handed the talisman to him.

Just then!

Huo Yuan's expression turned cold, and he threw the talisman away, a red long sword appearing in his hand.

"Gu Changsheng, die!"

"An assassin?" Gu Changsheng's expression turned cold.

"Die!" Huo Yuan's expression turned icy, and he raised the long sword, ready to strike.

The distance between them was too close, and in just an instant, the long sword was already in front of Gu Changsheng's neck.

Huo Yuan's expression flashed with a hint of satisfaction.

Killing Gu Changsheng was not an easy task!

With the cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining, killing him only required one sword!

Even if he killed Gu Changsheng, he would die as well, but it didn't matter.

"Uh-oh!" Huo Zhan's expression changed drastically.

Gu Changsheng was Huo Qianzhong's son-in-law. If he died here, he would definitely be punished by Huo Qianzhong!

At a glance, Huo Zhan could tell that Huo Yuan had the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining!

And according to the information, Gu Changsheng was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining!

What should he do now?

Huo Zhan rushed over in despair.

In the next moment--

The situation took a sudden turn!

"Do you want to kill me?"

Facing Huo Yuan's attack, Gu Changsheng remained calm.

"Sorry, you're not qualified yet."

Swish!

Just as the long sword was about to touch Gu Changsheng's neck, Gu Changsheng moved!

He reached out his hand and grabbed it!

Huo Yuan was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief. "You still want to catch my sword with your hand? You're seeking death--"

"Is that so?"

Bang!

In the next moment!

That long sword could no longer move forward.

Gu Changsheng smiled as he looked at Huo Yuan.

Huo Yuan was dumbfounded.

The whole audience was dumbfounded.

That incredibly sharp long sword was just...

Caught directly in Gu Changsheng's hand.

Unable to move forward at all!!!

"No, it's impossible!!!" Huo Yuan shouted.

He exerted all his strength to continue stabbing forward, but still, there was no way, the sword couldn't move at all!

"It's impossible, why, why can you block my attack!!!" Huo Yuan shouted in madness, "You're only at the fourth level of Qi Refining!"

Gu Changsheng smirked, "Sorry, who told you that I'm only at the fourth level of Qi Refining?"

Bang!!

A force of gravity struck, and Huo Yuan's body rolled backward, rolling several meters away before falling to the ground. Then, a long sword appeared floating at his neck.

A pair of extremely cold eyes then looked at him!

"For daring to kill my husband, die!" Xie Wanzhi said coldly.

"Wait." Gu Changsheng quickly stopped Xie Wanzhi.

Xie Wanzhi's long sword had already pierced Huo Yuan's neck, blood continuously flowing out. But upon hearing Gu Changsheng's words, she quickly withdrew her hand.

Gu Changsheng looked at Huo Zhan, "Elder, it's up to you now."

Huo Zhan glanced at Gu Changsheng, his tone filled with concern.

He was truly afraid that something would happen to Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng smiled, "I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine."

"It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine." Huo Zhan felt relieved.

He looked at Gu Changsheng with suspicion, "Changsheng, what level of cultivation are you?"

The information said that Gu Changsheng was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, right?

This definitely couldn't be right. How could someone at the fourth level of Qi Refining withstand the sword of a fifth level Qi Refining cultivator with just their body?

"Fifth level of Qi Refining," Gu Changsheng smiled, "Because I already knew this person was hostile, so I was prepared."

He was obviously making it up. Although Gu Changsheng knew that when he was away from home, he could only trust his wife, he couldn't trust anyone else, but he really didn't realize that Huo Yuan wanted to kill him.

However, he always had some precautions against people who approached him, and with his various means, unless a Foundation Building cultivator ambushed him, it was absolutely impossible to kill him!

"Alright," Huo Zhan nodded.

Then, he turned his cold gaze to Huo Yuan, "Speak, who ordered you to attack your own clan?"

Huo Yuan knew that he was on a dead end and spoke frankly, "Huo Qingfeng, the sixteenth young master of the Huo family. He gave me 2000 low-grade spirit stones and some other resources, asking me to kill Gu Changsheng on the way, even if I died, my family would receive a good reward."

Gu Changsheng frowned.

Huo Qingfeng?

Impossible, it's not that he looked down on Huo Qingfeng, but Huo Qingfeng definitely didn't have the guts to find someone outside the family to kill him!

This must be the work of Huo Lingyun, and he even wanted to shift the blame onto Huo Qingfeng!

This person is truly despicable!

Huo Zhan also frowned.

Did it involve one of the young masters of the Huo family?

"Why did you agree?" Huo Zhan curiously asked.

Huo Yuan said, "I've been out training for a long time and have been poisoned. I know my time is up, so I agreed to Huo Qingfeng's conditions."

"Come, kill or mutilate me, it's up to you, as long as it doesn't involve my family."

Huo Yuan had a look of generosity in the face of death.

"Attacking a member of the same clan is a capital offense, and you should have been brought back to the clan for punishment. But the situation is special now, so I'll punish you here," Huo Zhan said coldly.

"Wait a moment," Gu Changsheng suddenly said.

"What?" Huo Zhan looked at Gu Changsheng in confusion.

"Can I have a word with him?" Gu Changsheng asked.

"Sure."

Gu Changsheng nodded and walked to Huo Yuan's ear, speaking in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I will accompany Huo Lingyun down there with you."

Huo Yuan's pupils suddenly widened.

"Alright, I'm done speaking," Gu Changsheng nodded at Huo Zhan.

In the next moment, a burst of blood shot out from Huo Yuan's body, and his vitality dissipated in an instant!

When a Foundation Building cultivator made a move, a Qi Refining cultivator would be killed in an instant!

"Take his body with us, let's go!" Huo Zhan coldly swept his gaze over everyone, "Remember, anyone who dares to attack a member of the same clan will end up like this!"

"I hope there won't be any more incidents like this. We are companions on this trip to the Spirit Medicine Valley, I hope you can help each other instead of attacking others!"

"I also hope that in half a month, all of you can safely return!"

"Let's go!"

The group quickly left.
