Chapter 623 (1/2)

Chapter 623: Chapter 262: Old Acquaintances, Yu Yan and Yuan Bo_2 Chapter 623: Chapter 262: Old Acquaintances, Yu Yan and Yuan Bo_2 The man faced the two cultivators above him but dared not make the slightest inappropriate move, and was forced to stiffen his resolve and speak again:

“Two immortals…”

“The Moon Crow Root was entrusted to us for protective escort.

This matter is critical to the survival of our Yu Family Commerce, and if it’s lost, I’m afraid our entire Yu Family Commerce might face annihilation.”

“How about this…”

“I have ten Spirit Stones here.

I’ll give them to both immortals as a small token for you to enjoy a cup of tea…”

However, before the man could finish, one of the cultivators interrupted him:

“Ten Spirit Stones…”

“Do you think we’re beggars you can just brush off?”

“The Moon Crow Root is worth at least three hundred Spirit Stones.”

“I’ll say this once, hand over the Moon Crow Root.”

“If you don’t, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

As he finished speaking, an impressive aura burst forth from the man, pressing down on the people of the commerce below, causing many to tremble uncontrollably.

Even the horses pulling the carts began to act anxious and restless…

At this moment, the other cultivator seemed to be growing impatient:

Just kill them, and a fire later would erase all traces, guaranteed.”

As soon as these words were spoken, more panic spread among the caravan people behind, and even the man in front turned pale.

Looking at the attitude of the two cultivators, it seemed they left no room for negotiation and even intended to eliminate them all.

Just at this tense moment…

An aged yet powerful voice came from the back of the caravan:

“Is this really what the Yuan Family wants, to obliterate my Yu Family…”

Accompanying this voice was an even more formidable aura.

On sensing the newcomer’s presence, the faces of the two cultivators changed slightly, as the aura was clearly much stronger than theirs.

The newcomer was at least at the latter stages of Qi Refinement.

Upon hearing this voice, the man in front visibly relaxed.

The man turned back and looked towards the rear, a hint of excitement on his face:

“Dad, why are you here…”

At that moment, the caravan parted to make way in the middle.

Walking slowly down that path in the center were two individuals.

One of them appeared old and hunched, showing signs of age, but the aura he exuded was not to be underestimated.

It was quite apparent this was the person who had spoken.

The other person was the same young girl that Lin Jing and his companion had encountered in the tavern.

Shi San only realized who she was upon seeing her.

“Master…

it’s her…”

Lin Jing nodded and said:

“I know…”

At this time, the young girl, supporting the elder, slowly made her way to the front of the caravan.

The two cultivators had already descended from mid-air, their Flying Swords suspended, fully alert.

“Cough…

cough…”

The elder couldn’t help but cough twice, and the girl at his side quickly spoke with concern:

“Grandfather…”

“Are you all right…”

The man, who was the young girl’s Third Uncle, also promptly approached, wanting to support the elder.

Seeing this, the two cultivators exchanged glances, and then one of them spoke:

“Yu Yan…”

“With the injuries you have, you’re nearly at your last breath.

Do you still intend to stop us?”

“If you dare to act today, I’m afraid you won’t make it through the day.”

The elder, however, raised a hand to stop the man from coming closer, then shrugged off the young girl and stood up straight to face the two cultivators:

“Even in my current injured state, I could still kill the both of you on the spot.

Do you believe it or not?”

The two faced the elder and fell silent for a moment.

Obviously, even wounded, the elder was still able to deter the two cultivators from making a move.

However, Lin Jing was not paying attention to any of this.

When he heard the cultivator call out the elder’s name, Lin Jing was taken aback for a moment.

Then he extended his Divine Sense and scanned the elder.

All three, the two cultivators and the elder, were only at the Qi Refinement Realm.

Even as Lin Jing’s Divine Sense swept over them, they were none the wiser.

Next.

Lin Jing’s Divine Sense focused on the elder…

Although the elder’s appearance had changed a lot and he was visibly aged, it was not hard to recognize that he was Yu Yan, who had once been an Offering Priest at the Yuebao Tower in Nanshan Immortal City just like him.

Back then, Yu Yan was close to a Pill Master surnamed Wang, but they went their separate ways due to a difference in principles.

And when this Pill Master Wang had colluded with Liu Yiyuan to deal with him, Yu Yan had even sent him a warning.

Originally, Yu Yan was supposed to be at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but it was unclear why he had now fallen to the latter stages of Qi Refinement.

As Lin Jing’s Divine Sense continued to scan Yu Yan, the situation on the field changed once more…

“I don’t believe it…”

At that moment.

Another voice came from the front of the path.

Upon hearing this voice, everyone, including Lin Jing and Shi San, looked towards the front of the path.

Before them on the road, another white-haired cultivator approached, riding a flying sword.
