Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 56 A desperate escape (10,000-word update, please subscribe)
really.

The entire market town became noisy and bustling with people.

The screams echoed throughout the market.

"Miss!"

Shen Xuan felt a pang of fear.

I opened the window and looked out at the sky above the market.

The market area has been illuminated with protective shields.

In the darkness of night, countless lights, radiating various magnificent colors, shot towards us.

The explosion struck the protective shield, producing a series of thunderous sounds.

"It's a spaceship's psionic cannon!"

"At least seven!"

"Qinglongwan Market cannot be defended!"

Shen Xuan quickly came to a conclusion.

Let's take another look at the market area.

The fire is soaring!

Many cultivators took advantage of the chaos to loot!

"Summon the flying boats and return!"

Zhao Chunsheng quickly activated the newly refined flying boat.

As soon as Shen Xuan sat down, the car sped away.

The whole way was filled with firelight!
There is an inside agent instigating the fire.

Many rogue cultivators were taking advantage of the chaos, their faces contorted with rage and utterly vicious.

At the slightest disagreement, they drew their swords and fought, resulting in bloodshed and carnage.

It's no different from the Tribulation Cultivator.

Several cultivators, seeing the flying boat piloted by Zhao Chunsheng, maliciously unleashed their magical artifacts and talismans.

All of them were neutralized by Shen Xuan's Water Cloud Shield.

Then, he used the "Condensing Water to Transform into a Sharp Edge" technique to cut open the neck of the creature.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Shen Xuan dared not soften his heart.

The journey, which should have taken only a quarter of an hour, felt exceptionally long.

Zhao Chunsheng piloted the flying boat, weaving and twisting through the market.

Just as I was getting close to home, a deafening roar echoed through the market.

Then came a piercing wail.

"The market has been breached!"

In the darkness of night, lights of various colors occasionally illuminate the night.

That was the light emanating from magical artifacts, spells, and talismans.

The cacophony grew increasingly intense.

Shouts of anger, cries of sorrow, pleas for mercy, bursts of maniacal laughter...

The Qinglongwan market was in complete chaos.

"The Ding family is finished!"
Shen Xuan sighed softly.

Foundation Establishment cultivation families cannot dispatch so many spaceships.

It can only be a sect.

Moreover, they had planted many internal agents well in advance.

Under their instigation, the ugliness in human nature will be amplified to an extreme degree.

Some seemingly honest and unassuming rogue cultivators, under the leadership of those with ulterior motives, committed adultery, plunder, and all sorts of evil deeds.

The profits from the Tianyan copper mine are enormous.

Even major sects personally intervened.

This left Shen Xuan with a deep sense of powerlessness.

Moreover, they disregarded the lives of the wandering monks in the market.

They set fires and killed people, inciting infighting and fighting among the monks in the market.

The breach of the protective array of the market seemed to be a signal.

Countless market monks transformed into demons, storming into shops and other people's residences to carry out "zero-yuan purchases."

"Who are you!"

Zhao Chunsheng roared and flew the flying boat directly to his doorstep.

With the protective array of the market broken, all the restrictions on the mansions lost their source of spiritual energy and became useless.

"roll!"

"Otherwise, die!"

Shen Xuan's words were much simpler.

In the [Insight Technique], more and more people are gathering at their doorsteps.

At this point, there is no need for further communication or explanation.

Those who come to your door at this time are all people with ulterior motives.

Shen Xuan could even sense their accelerated heartbeats.

The darkness concealed their faces.

This also concealed their greed, excitement, and bloodlust.

"This is the Talisman Master's mansion! There's money inside, let's all rush in..."

Before the man could finish speaking, his head flew off.

Blood splattered.

Seeing how powerful Shen Xuan was, the others shouted and dispersed.

The airship flew into the house.

Jiang Xueqi, along with Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu, fully armed, stood guard at the top of the stairs on the second floor.

Ding Yuyao, also holding a sturdy bull whip, stood diligently side by side. Upon seeing Shen Xuan approach, her face turned pale, and she burst into tears.

Having lived a life of luxury, she had never seen such a chaotic scene before and was terrified.

Feeling something amiss, Shen Xuan gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, your husband is back. Your husband will protect you!"

Zhao Chunsheng became even more excited.

"Wife, Da Hu, Er Hu, are you alright?"

Outside, the roar was incessant, and countless beams of light shot out, as if in a festive celebration.

"Alright! Everyone get on the airship! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"

Shen Xuan sensed that the surrounding area was becoming increasingly chaotic, with auras constantly disappearing.

The disappearance of each breath signifies the demise of a cultivator.

His unease grew stronger.

The force attacking the market was a sect's flying ship!

The psionic cannons deployed on the spaceship could pulverize even Foundation Establishment and Grand Repair cultivators with a single shot.

Jiang Xueqi and Ding Yuyao then seemed to wake up from a dream.

"There are still some things I haven't packed..."

Ding Yuyao stammered.

"No time, forget it!"

Shen Xuan carried Ding Yuyao and flew onto the flying boat.

Jiang Xueqi, Zhao Dahu, and Zhao Erhu quickly boarded the flying boat.

Zhao Chunsheng asked, "Where to?"

"Go out from the east gate and head to the Longze River."

As long as the flying boat reaches the surface of the Longze River, Shen Xuan is confident that he can lead everyone to safety.

"it is good!"

Zhao Chunsheng inserted a mid-grade spirit stone, cast a series of spells, and piloted the flying boat eastward.

Along the way, it was like a living hell, with corpses of cultivators everywhere, and they constantly encountered cruel scenes of burning, killing, looting, and raping female cultivators.

Some people saw the airship and desperately screamed for help.

Zhao Chunsheng did not stop at all, but instead sped away.

Shen Xuan, on the other hand, unleashed several [Condensing Water to Transform into Edge Techniques], reaping the lives of some evil cultivators.

That's all he can do.

Fortunately, they set off early.

The airship is also fast.

At the eastern exit of the market, only two spaceships were used to suppress the situation, with ample space between them.

Before the enemy could encircle them, the flying boat mingled among dozens of flying magical artifacts and sped away.

Once they left the market, the group breathed a sigh of relief.

Many people have already taken refuge in the wilderness outside the market.

After the market changed hands and order was restored, they still had to return to their lives in the market.

Survival is harder in the wilderness than in a market town.

More and more rogue cultivators are escaping.

Many people spontaneously formed small circles.

Then, for some unknown reason, some people started arguing.

They fought and clashed with each other.

The difference between a docile and benevolent cultivator and a ruthless and cruel one is often just a thought away.

The airship stopped under an ancient tree, far from the crowds.

"Master Shen, how about we go and try to rob one ourselves?"

Zhao Chunsheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he was eager to try.

"Husband, don't go!" Jiang Xueqi said angrily.

Shen Xuan glanced at him sideways.

Don't you know your own capabilities?

Although he is a veteran demon hunter at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

However, its combat strength is unremarkable.

They're called "rabbit demon hunters," so where does their intimidation come from?
"I dont go."

"You're not allowed to go either. Focus on controlling the flying boat!"

Shen Xuan said in a cold voice.

"Father, we'll listen to Uncle Shen!"

Zhao Dahu also advised, "Life is more important! Erhu and I are almost done with our apprenticeships! Once we've finished, we'll support our families, and you won't have to go hunting anymore!"

Shen Xuan nodded at Zhao Dahu, a rare occurrence for him.

This child, only twenty years old, sees things more clearly than his father.

"I'll listen to Master Shen!"

Zhao Chunsheng immediately calmed down.

He dared not go if Master Shen Fu did not go.

Those who were the first to escape the market were all elites.

None of them are easy to deal with.

"Let's go! Keep heading east!"

Shen Xuan had no intention of returning to the market.

"it is good!"

After resting for a while, Zhao Chunsheng recovered somewhat and set off again in his flying boat.

However, after flying only a dozen miles, they encountered a group of people being chased.
