Chapter 680 The Manifestation of the Dao Embryo
"Fellow Daoist Hong, how have you been?"

Enter the small house.

Li Rui looked at Hong Tianqi, or rather, Ji Ze.

He never expected to run into Hong Tianqi here again.

The two plotted to kill Hong Tianyong, the deputy city lord of Shenxiao City, who was also Hong Tianqi's younger brother. Then Hong Tianqi left, saying he was going to find Hong Tianyong's reincarnation.

To think we'd run into each other here.

"That is him."

Li Rui glanced at the little boy.

He wasn't a Dao Lord, so of course he didn't have the ability to recognize people by following cause and effect and crossing reincarnation. It was just because the little boy had called Hong Tianqi "Master" in his panic.

Back then, Hung Tin-yung took his own brother's reincarnation as his disciple.

As the saying goes, "an eye for an eye."
Hong Tianqi patted the little boy's head: "Go, Master has something to say to you, his senior. Go practice your skills first."

Waiting for the little boy to leave.

Hong Tianqi then nodded: "That's right."

Li Rui was speechless.

These two brothers are really interesting. The older brother was reincarnated and the younger brother took him as his disciple, and the younger brother was reincarnated and the older brother was also different.

"Fellow Daoist Hong, what brings you here?"

His spiritual sense far surpasses that of ordinary cultivators.

So when they came to Hehuan Valley, they had already sensed Hong Tianqi's presence, but they hadn't acknowledged him until now.

But this is Hehuan Valley. Could it be that Hong Tianqi is taking his reincarnated brother out for fun?

Hong Tianqi gave a wry smile: "I came here to apprehend the culprit."

"Catch the culprit?"

Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately understood.

Hong Tianqi left Shenxiao City, presumably returning to his life as a rogue cultivator.

Since independent cultivators have no sect to rely on, they must do things in order to obtain resources.

Helping various immortal sects hunt down their enemies is an important task, somewhat similar to the work of a swordsman in the common folk.

Hong Tianqi nodded: "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Changqing has heard that the genius grandson of a Nascent Soul ancestor of a branch of the Ji family was directly sucked into a dried corpse by a demon cultivator. The ancestor was furious and issued a bounty. As long as the fox demon can be captured, the reward will be extremely generous."

"After investigating all the way, I found that this fox demon was very likely in this Hehuan Valley, so I brought my disciple here to chase after it."

Li Rui nodded: "I see."

Afterwards, he chatted with Hong Tianqi for a while.

Until dawn broke on the horizon.

Only then did they return to the Spider Cave.

Looking at those long legs again, they were already drenched in sweat, completely exhausted.

It's bright.

Qi Liyan, Xiang Hong, and the others also came out, each with a knowing smile.

"Brother Changqing, besides the women, there are actually quite a few rare treasures in Hehuan Valley. Since we're already here, why not take a look? Maybe we can find some good treasures."

"Not bad, not bad, I've been wanting to come here for a while to choose a suitable magic weapon."

Immediately, people responded in kind.

"I'll do whatever Brother Qi says."

Qi Liyan laughed heartily with satisfaction: "That's right."

Immediately.

The group then headed straight for the market north of Hehuan Valley.

The art style has changed drastically.

The red phoenix silk curtains are gone, and it is no different from those immortal markets, except that there are more cultivation techniques and pills related to dual cultivation, and there are even immortal slaves and maids.

The so-called immortal slaves and immortal maids are actually the people who sell their members and disciples to other cultivators as slaves or maids after those declining immortal cultivation families or sects have been swallowed up by their enemies.

That's still a nice way of putting it.

In fact, it is no different from a cauldron or furnace.

Therefore, the price for female cultivators is often several times higher than that for male cultivators.

"This Hehuan Fairy Market is quite famous in Chongyao Prefecture."

"But if we're talking about the best, it has to be the Xuanhuang Collection controlled by the Ji family. There are truly all sorts of wonders there. It's just a pity that my family's resources are too meager."

Qi Liyan said.

Whatever you say comes.

We've only just started talking about the Ji family.

Suddenly, a thunderous dragon roar echoed from the horizon. "It's the Ji family's Eight-Winged Feathered Dragon!"

someone exclaimed.

Look up.

They saw more than a dozen cultivators riding dragons with four pairs of wings chasing a female cultivator in the sky. Judging from her fox tail, she was a demon cultivator.

"Ji family?"

Qi Liyan became interested.

Judging from the appearance, it seems that cultivators from the Ji family are chasing after that fox demon.

Li Rui knew this.

This fox demon must be the demon cultivator that Hong Tianqi mentioned, the one who drained the genius of the Ji family.

Don't underestimate the two major powers in Yaozhou.

Besides the Ji family, there is also the Feathered Immortal Dynasty, which can actually be considered as one entity.

Because there was a king of a different surname in the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty, who also had the surname Ji.

It could even be said that the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty's rise to become a top-tier immortal dynasty was inseparable from the support of the Ji clan.

Anyone who dares to provoke the Ji family in Chongyao Prefecture will only face certain death.

A look of surprise flashed in Li Rui's eyes.

He recognized a familiar figure among the Ji family cultivators—Ji Jiao.

His connection with Ji Jiao was truly profound.

'This fox demon does possess some skill.'

He knew Ji Jiao's methods; Ji Jiao's mastery of the Dragon Transformation Dao was indeed extraordinary. The fact that he could escape from Ji Jiao's clutches for so long was itself a testament to his strength.

It's not just him.

Qi Liyan and the others also recognized Ji Jiao.

"What is the origin of this fox demon, and how did it provoke the Ji family, causing Ji Jiao to personally take action?"

Three hundred miles away from Hehuan Valley, atop a small hill.

The Ji family cultivators surrounded the fox demon.

A large formation has been formed, sealing off all escape routes.

Ji Jiao stared at the fox demon surrounded in the center with a violent expression, his killing intent undisguised: "Hand over my cousin's Dao embryo, and I can give you a chance to reincarnate."

Not bad.

The reason why a genius with a True Dragon Saint Body like him would personally take action to apprehend the culprit was, of course, because the Ji family disciple who was harmed by the fox demon was too important.

The Ji family is not a monolithic entity.

Having undergone tens of thousands of years of evolution, there are dozens of main branches alone, not to mention countless branching branches.

His lineage only rose to prominence in the last thousand years.

However, to hold onto this position, they must cultivate a sufficient number of outstanding clansmen.

His cousin was born with a Daoist constitution.

From a young age, he was given high hopes by his family.

He had already entered the Dao Body Realm, but his mind was not strong enough. He was bewitched by the fox demon, and his physical body was ruined. Even his Dao Embryo was captured.

Ji Jiao was determined to reclaim the Dao Embryo.

In this way, finding a suitable body would still offer a chance for salvation.

It was clear that the fox demon still had a fawning smile on her face.

Ji Jiao lost his patience and snorted coldly, "Make your move."

Say it.

A phantom of a divine dragon appeared behind him.

But just as Ji Jiao was about to make his move.

The small hill beneath their feet suddenly trembled violently, and a terrifying demonic aura rose up, almost suffocating them.

Ji Jiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't even realize that the small hill beneath his feet was actually an old tortoise in disguise!

at the same time.

Several figures exuding demonic aura appeared and surrounded them again.
