Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 341 Difficult to handle
"Being the daughter of a small clan...is a curse, not a blessing!"

Chen Mu sighed, and his eyes softened as he looked at Gao Xiaoqing.

Gao Xiaoqing pursed her red lips, feeling that Chen Mu's words touched her heart. If she had a choice, she would rather not have this kind of qualification!

Gao Xianming also shook his head repeatedly and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu is right... At first, I was able to use my magic power to cover up some of her problems, but as her cultivation level increased, her unique inspiration inevitably leaked out."

"It would have been fine if no one else knew about it, but who would have thought that three months ago, an old monk skilled in the art of observing qi came to this island and immediately identified Qing'er's pure yin body. He then quietly sold this news to the Feng family in the Nanshan Islands..."

"The Feng family has grown in strength in recent years. Several of their Jindan cultivators are in urgent need of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage to expand their power. After hearing about the Pure Yin Body, they immediately sent someone to claim it!"

At this point, Gao Xianming's eyes were red, and he was filled with rage. "I tried every way to decline, unwilling to push Qing'er into this fire pit. But the Feng family, knowing that my Gao family was weak, pressed us again and again, even setting a deadline of three months. They said that if Qing'er was not handed over, they would lead their people to attack..."

"Without any other choice, I had to use a secret technique to fake Qing'er's death, hoping to avoid this disaster."

Gao Xianming lowered his head like a lion in his twilight years.

He also knew that this was just deceiving himself. If he could deceive a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could he deceive a Golden Core True Person?
But apart from this method, he has no other means...

"When I first saw you, I thought the Feng family had sent you to test us, that's why I lost my composure."

Chen Mu nodded slightly, but he was very confused. He asked, "The Feng family is so ostentatious, openly discussing the furnace and cauldron issue. Are there no other forces stepping forward?"

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the helmsman of the Dongming Sea, the Chi Ming lineage. Judging from the few people he had contacted at the beginning, although the Chi Ming lineage is not extremely hostile to evil, they are also righteous. What’s more, this is his territory, how could he tolerate the Feng family’s insolence?

Gao Xianming shook his head and sighed, "Fellow Daoist Xu, you don't know that the Feng family has made great progress in recent years. On the other hand, the former Chi Ming lineage has lost several Jindan Zhenren in succession. Their apparent strength is no longer comparable to the Feng family."

"Besides, the Feng family isn't stupid. Why would they publicly announce the matter of the furnace and cauldron? They only said they wanted to take Qing'er as a concubine. Although everyone else knows their true intention, who would offend them for us..."

Gao Xianming sighed and became more and more miserable. In just a few months, their Gao family seemed to have been abandoned by the entire Dongming Sea.

Chen Mu's heart trembled. In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is still respected.

"Qing'er is unwilling to follow you because she is afraid that after you leave, my Gao family will be swallowed up and exterminated by the Feng family."

Gao Xianming's emotions gradually calmed down. He turned to Chen Mu and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu is from a powerful clan. I wonder if he can help our Gao family overcome this disaster. I am willing to give away all my wealth. I only ask that you come forward!"

Having said that, Chen Mu frowned.

In fact, both of them understood that this matter was not easy to handle...

Although Fushan Changhe is a Nascent Soul Sect and the second largest sect in Beiyuan, this place is in the East China Sea after all. Fushan Changhe will not and cannot interfere in this matter.

It would be fine to take Gao Xiaoqing away quietly, and the Feng family won't chase after him to ask for him afterwards.

But if this were to happen, the Gao family would have to endure his wrath, unless they moved their entire clan...

Perhaps anticipating Chen Mu's thoughts, Gao Xianming smiled bitterly and said, "Ever since the Feng family specified the deadline, Tianling Island has been under their surveillance."

"It's fine for me to escape alone, but if I move with my entire clan, they will definitely stop me!"

Every move is controlled by others.

The Gao family is almost in a dead end.

It seems that the only way to save the Gao family is to sacrifice Gao Xiaoqing...

"This girl is quite sensible. She knows the seriousness of the matter and is unwilling to leave with me alone."

Chen Mu's eyes flashed as he looked at Gao Xiaoqing who was standing aside with his head down and silent.

She was 28 years old, at the prime of her youth and beauty, but now she seemed very depressed because of this incident.

For a moment, Chen Mu also felt a little overwhelmed. The matter of guiding people, which he originally thought was extremely simple, has now become troublesome.

After thinking for a moment, he turned to Gao Xianming and was about to speak, but his brows suddenly frowned and he looked at the sky outside.

Seeing his reaction, Gao Xianming's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly activated his secret technique to conceal Gao Xiaoqing's aura. Within a few breaths, a powerful aura landed above Gao's residence, its momentum unbridled and insolent.

"Fellow Daoist Gao, Mr. Feng is here to visit. Why don't you come out and greet him immediately?"

A loud shout almost echoed throughout the entire Tianling Island...

In an instant, the bustling and numerous stalls on the long street outside were closed down, and people moved away without even daring to look.

Although they had received a lot of favors from the Gao family, under such circumstances, the past favors seemed insignificant.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing everyone running away, the monks from outside burst into laughter.

Chen Mu probed with his spiritual sense, and the man's appearance immediately appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

He was wearing a brown robe with dark patterns, a wooden crown on his head, his face was sallow, and a smug look flashed in his eyes from time to time.

"Middle stage of foundation building..."

Chen Mu murmured, but he could see the man's realm.

"Friend Xu, this person is Feng Wende, the seventeenth son of the Feng family's ancestor. He was the one who came to deliver the message earlier. He came today because he probably heard about the death of Qing'er, whom I released earlier."

Gao Xianming's face looked grim, and he spoke to Chen Mu with a stiff upper lip, his expression showing that he quite hoped Chen Mu would come forward.

"Gao Xianming! You have such a big face. If you don't come out, don't blame me for being angry!"

At the same time, Feng Wende, who was above the mansion, became impatient and shouted coldly.

Gao Xianming's eyes darkened and he could only stride out.

Seeing this, Chen Mu turned around to look at Gao Xiaoqing who was looking at him eagerly, and with an idea in mind, he followed him out.

No matter what, Gao Xiaoqing must be taken away. After all, it was the first task assigned by his master, and he had to do his best to get it done.

As for the Gao family matter, he could only do his best.

"Hahahaha... Fellow Daoist Gao finally showed up..."

Feng Wende landed and went to greet Gao Xianming with seeming surprise, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly discovered Chen Mu following closely behind him.

In an instant, his expression changed, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and he looked back and forth at Chen Mu and the other person.

He hadn't noticed that there was an extra person in the Gao family beforehand...

However, after he saw Chen Mu's cultivation level, he felt relieved.

"Middle stage of foundation building...don't know whether to live or die."

He cursed inwardly and looked at Gao Xianming with a rather unfriendly expression: "Fellow Daoist Gao, would you like to introduce me?"

Gao Xianming first gave Chen Mu a look of gratitude, then said, "This is the true disciple of Beiyuan Sect's Fushan Changhe, Xu Jingyang, Fellow Daoist Xu."

"Floating Mountains and Long Rivers..."

Feng Wende muttered, his expression becoming extremely ugly in an instant.

"Gao Xianming, you actually dared to involve outsiders. Do you really think that my Feng family won't exterminate the Gao family?"

To be honest, he had never heard of the reputation of Fushan River. After all, since he started practicing, he had been traveling around the nearby sea area and had never been to other places.

But he heard the word Beiyuan. When would it be the turn of the Beiyuan sect to intervene in the affairs of the East China Sea?
Thinking of this, he looked at Chen Mu coldly, with a hint of threat in his eyes...
