Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 62 The Situation is Deteriorating!
The setting sun gradually disappeared in the distance, and night began to envelop the earth.

Chen Qian and Chen Yunyi stood on Xiao Qing's back and flew to the right front.

This is the direction leading to Bijia Mountain.

After checking the map, Chen Yunyi explained softly to Chen Qian, "This place is about three hundred li away from Bijia Mountain. At Xiaoqing's speed, it will take less than two incense sticks to get there."

Chen Qian nodded in agreement, "When we get within a hundred miles, we should still conceal ourselves and approach quietly to assess the situation first."

"Okay!" Chen Yunyi nodded in agreement.

Chen Yunyi is not a person without her own opinions. Since advancing to the late stage of Qi Refining, she has been handling things independently in Qingye Mountain Market.

But at the same time, she is aloof and doesn't like to be in the spotlight or give orders.

She would be happy to follow orders if someone could make a decision that she approved of.

Even she herself didn't realize that, without noticing, when she was with Chen Qian, she had become very accustomed to Chen Qian's arrangements.

Under the cover of night, Xiao Qingqing's gray feathers are very camouflage, as if they blend into the darkness.

It's hard to spot unless you're very close.

This allowed the two of them to get closer to Bijia Mountain.

Before long, two towering peaks appeared in the distance, their silhouettes blurred. The ridge between them looked narrow and had a smooth curve.

It is precisely because of this shape and landform that it was named Bijia Mountain.

Our destination is now in sight.

With about fifty miles to go, Chen Yunyi put away Xiao Qing, and the two of them used the Flying Feather Technique to fly towards Bijia Mountain at a seemingly slow but actually fast speed.

To appear more discreet, the two activated the "obscure" effect of their moon-white robes, making their figures even more inconspicuous.

Chen Qian then activated the Harmony with the World Technique with all his might.

Suddenly, his presence diminished rapidly, even surprising Chen Yunyi who was standing next to him.

This concealment technique is incredibly powerful.

If she didn't know for certain that Chen Qian was right next to her, she would have thought she was all alone.

After achieving the Innate Divine Soul stage, Chen Qian had already cultivated the Harmony with the World Technique to the second level.

He can now conceal his abilities from cultivators who are no more than one major realm above him.

In other words, cultivators below the mid-Foundation Establishment stage would have a hard time finding him.

Once fully activated, the person becomes almost ethereal, their presence nearly nonexistent.

Chen Qian naturally noticed Chen Yunyi's surprise and transmitted his voice to her, "This is a secret technique that I obtained by chance. It is called the Harmony with Light and Dust Technique. After this matter is resolved, I will give it to you to practice when we get back."

Chen Yunyi paused slightly, then thought for a moment before giving up and saying, "Okay."

Such an effective concealment technique is extremely important to anyone.

There's no reason not to study; at most, we should try to compensate Chen Qian in other ways.

The journey of several dozen miles did not take long for two people, and they soon arrived at the foot of Bijia Mountain.

As they approached, they could faintly hear muffled thunder-like noises coming from not far to their left.

Needless to say, this commotion must have come from a battle between cultivators.

Based on what they knew, it was highly likely that cultivators from the Lu family were besieging the family head's jade boat.

Without hesitation, the two exchanged a glance and then quietly crept toward the source of the sound.

As Chen Qian explored his surroundings, he transmitted his voice to Chen Yunyi:

"I don't think my father-in-law's current predicament is simple."

"The Lu family besieged my father-in-law, but the Zhou family chased after Yun Qing." "This at least shows that the two families acted together, but did not attack together."

"It's possible that the Wu family is involved as well."

"That's clearly a bigger scheme."

Chen Yunyi nodded thoughtfully and said, "We should surround the point and attack the reinforcements. I just don't know if their target is us or the Ancestor."

"That's what I think too. I wonder how many people they actually mobilized."

"Have the Foundation Establishment patriarchs from each family made an appearance? How many have come?"

A sense of unease crept into their hearts. Judging from the situation, it was highly likely that the Foundation Establishment ancestors of the three families would be lying in ambush nearby, and the target was very likely Chen Ruiang, the ancestor of the Chen family.

If something happens to Chen Ruiang, the pillar of the Chen family, the Chen family may face a dire situation of being besieged.

The Chen family possesses an extremely powerful Phoenix Cry Formation, and with Senior Flame Feather in charge, preserving Phoenix Forest Valley in the short term shouldn't be a problem.

However, once external resource points are occupied, ordinary clansmen will be unable to contact the family, and over time, the Chen family will not be far from disintegration.

The two searched around and first found a very tall tree nearby.

The two first climbed a large tree to find a suitable vantage point to assess the overall situation below Bijia Mountain and decide on their next move.

After climbing to a high vantage point and surveying the area, we finally gained a general understanding of the situation.

The most conspicuous thing was the jade boat moored at the foot of the mountain, a thousand feet away.

At this moment, the flying boat had already erected a protective shield that shimmered with a faint red light. This was the defensive shield activated by the first-tier top-level array, the Yi Wood Spirit Fire Array, which was engraved on the flying boat.

The Yi Wood Spirit Fire Array can be considered a super-simplified version of the family's grand array, the Li Fire Phoenix Cry Array. As long as it is presided over by a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, it can contend against a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in a short period of time.

The jade boat was over ten feet wide and nearly four feet long. Although it was not as big as a medium-sized flying boat, it was still much larger than a typical small flying boat.

At this moment, the airship was filled with shadowy figures. Due to the distance and the shield, they could not see clearly. Only seven or eight people were standing, while most of the others were sitting cross-legged on the airship, looking like they were huddled together.

There were about twenty cultivators besieging the Azure Jade Boat, dressed in black and white robes, the traditional attire of the Lu family.

These people seem to be launching a massive offensive, yet they also give off a relaxed and unhurried vibe.

This is highly illogical; there must be something fishy going on.

Chen Qian looked around and silently made a judgment in his mind.

Not far from the airship is a small hillside with a cave entrance overgrown with weeds. From the airship's perspective, it would be impossible to spot.

However, because he was at a higher vantage point, he could see very clearly.

Opposite the small hill is a dense forest, where the trees grow very lushly.

There were also many piles of rubble and overgrown plants around, and it was unknown what was hidden there.

Chen Qian observed carefully and saw some cultivators peeking out from among the piles of rocks and in the dense forest.

This confirms that there are still quite a few people hiding in the surrounding area.

Chen Qian was certain that the main purpose of the Lu family's operation was to ambush Chen Rui'ang, the patriarch of the Chen family, and that there must be more than one Foundation Establishment cultivator lurking around.

Under these circumstances, Qing Yuzhou was definitely not going to escape. Even with the addition of the two of them and the Second Elder's group who arrived later, they still couldn't save the family head.

The Lu family is now clearly using the siege to trap Qingyuzhou, slowly stalling for time while waiting for the Chen family patriarch to come to the rescue.

The situation here will not change much before Chen Ruiang arrives.

If the Lu family launches a full-scale attack on Qingyuzhou and kills Chen Hongming and the others, Chen Ruiang, seeing that the situation is hopeless, will definitely retreat temporarily.

Chen Qian took a deep breath and told Chen Yunyi, who was standing next to him, his judgment.

For a moment, both of them were at a loss, and it seemed that there was nothing they could do but wait.
