With this punch, there is no way out for anyone below the Gold Core realm.

But soon, he discovered the clue that his attack was ineffective.

Although this guy's cultivation is weak, he is protected by a defensive treasure, and a shield appeared on his body at this moment.

Chu Qianqiu was very unhappy, knowing that this would happen.

This person must have something valuable at home, definitely possessing a protective treasure to dare to be so arrogant, bringing only a group of mediocre guards and causing trouble on the streets.

And after activating this guy's life-saving shield.

Soon, several powerful auras came from afar, seemingly sensing this shield.

"The strong from the Xiao family is coming, quickly follow me!"

"Madam Xiao, I will come back to compensate for the damage to your shop later, please excuse me!"

Grabbing Chu Qianqiu's hand, Liu Ruoyan immediately flew low on her sword, swiftly escaping.

Madam Xiao at the shop's entrance had a kind expression and watched the two of them leave.

Although this old lady's surname is also Xiao, she seems to have no connection with the young master of the Xiao family in front of her.

Shortly after, several powerful cultivators from the Xiao family arrived at the scene.

They immediately checked the semi-unconscious young master and became furious.

Afterwards, they asked the old lady of this cushion shop about the whereabouts of the assassin, determined to capture the real culprit.

The old lady pointed in the opposite direction, and this group of people hurriedly rushed over.

On the other side.

Liu Ruoyan, with Chu Qianqiu, barely escaped the search of the large group in the city of Rongzhu.

Now, not only the strong from the Xiao family are investigating them, even the soldiers of Rongzhu City are cooperating with the Xiao family's search.

The influence network of the Xiao family in Rongzhu City is indeed too large. As long as there is a slight movement, the whole city will know.

Fortunately, Liu Ruoyan is also extremely familiar with this city, constantly taking detours, always able to avoid the gaze of the crowd.

She came to a winding alley in the city, entered a hidden passage, and successfully led Chu Qianqiu out of Rongzhu City, avoiding the trouble of leaving directly from the city gate.

Chu Qianqiu was still a little angry and wanted to give the other party another punch.

At this moment, Liu Ruoyan's face was full of worry, with sweat dripping from her body, showing that she was very concerned about him.

"You are really bold. I didn't dare to make a move against that guy, but you actually punched him directly."

"You really have no fear of death."

Blaming the young man beside her, Liu Ruoyan bypassed the main road outside the city and walked along a small path to send Chu Qianqiu away.

Curious, Chu Qianqiu asked about the other person's identity and whether he was invincible in Rongzhu City.

Liu Ruoyan nodded, confirming this.

"Yes, this guy is the young master of the largest family in Rongzhu City. Even our Lake Sword Sect has to be cautious around him."

"Mainly because this guy knows a lot of people, it's not a good thing to provoke him after all."

"But now, this guy doesn't know your identity yet, and I will try my best to help you conceal it."

"As long as you don't go to Rongzhu City recently, he shouldn't do anything to you."

"As for me, he won't lay a hand on me either. I will find a way to help you get through this difficult situation."

Saying this, Liu Ruoyan clearly didn't have complete confidence in this matter.

Chu Qianqiu looked apologetically at her figure, held her hand tightly in the wind, and said,

"I'm sorry for getting you involved in such a troublesome situation. I was too impulsive."

"I will bear the consequences of this matter myself."

As he spoke, Liu Ruoyan, who was flying on her sword in the air, realized that her hand was being held by the other party, and her heart trembled. She didn't turn her head to look at him.

"No, this whole thing started because of me. That guy only hates you because of me. I should be the one apologizing."

"Sigh, I completely forgot about that guy... If I had remembered him earlier, I wouldn't have brought you to the Forge City."

Liu Ruoyan was also very apologetic, and the two of them chatted a lot along the way.

During this time, Chu Qianqiu finally understood the other person's background. It turned out that although this guy was a waste, he had a very powerful father.

His father was the most powerful figure in the Forge City, with a strength of the late stage of the Gold Core realm. He ruled over the Forge City, and no one dared to provoke him.

Moreover, this guy also knew many elders of various sects and had close relationships with them.

This also led to the reason why Liu Ruoyan, despite her strong dislike for Xiao Yan, never laid a hand on him.

"The late stage of the Gold Core realm, indeed quite something."

"Yes, you're only at the Foundation Building realm now. Do you really want to compete with the Xiao family?"

"Although I can discuss it with my father and help you, but..."

Turning around and looking at Chu Qianqiu's serious expression, Liu Ruoyan was stunned.

She didn't expect that after such a clear introduction of the Xiao family's background, the young man behind her would still have such an expression.

"It's okay, you don't need to help me. Just delay this guy for me."

"Give me a year, I will personally take care of him and wipe out the entire Xiao family from this world!"

Chu Qianqiu said confidently, giving his answer.

Liu Ruoyan was puzzled, not knowing where his confidence came from. It felt like a joke to her.

"Don't be ridiculous, the difference in strength between you and him is like heaven and earth."

"In such a short time, you won't be able to surpass him... Let's just stay calm for now."

She intended to comfort him, but Liu Ruoyan had never comforted anyone in her life. She was always cold to others, and these words slipped out unintentionally.

When she finished speaking, she realized that her words were hurtful, so she wanted to add something.

But Chu Qianqiu, still full of confidence, held her hand tighter, as if trying to prove something.

"What's wrong, don't you believe me?"

"I can definitely do it. I will surpass the Xiao family head within a year... no matter what."

"But... it's only a year."

"You're only at the ninth level of the Foundation Building realm now, far from the late stage of the Gold Core realm. It's simply impossible to leap to the late stage of the Gold Core realm within a year."

"No, I don't need to reach the late stage of the Gold Core realm. I just need to reach a level of strength that can kill him."

"Alright... Do you need any help from me?"

"I can't help you achieve the late stage of the Gold Core realm within a year, because I can't do it myself."

"You don't need to help me with these things for now."

"If there's a need, I will let you know."

"Well, then I believe you. Just make sure to let me know when you're going to take action. Our Hu Jian Sect will always stand behind you."

"No, if your father personally takes action for me, then what's the point of my efforts?"

"Your father must be stronger than the Xiao family head, right?"

"Of course..."

...

While the two were chatting, Liu Ruoyan had already flown a long distance, bringing Chu Qianqiu near the Moon Phoenix City.

She bid farewell to him in a secluded place, saying that she wouldn't accompany him any further. She was afraid that if she personally escorted him back to the city gate, the soldiers would notice something.

And she also mentioned that during these days, he shouldn't casually go out with his clan members. It was relatively safe to stay in the city. Even if the Xiao family found out about the situation and came looking for trouble, they wouldn't dare to act in the Moon Phoenix City.

This place wasn't their territory, and if they caused trouble, the administrators here would take care of them.
