Farmer Girl Reborn: I Play the Pig and Eat the Tiger in the World of Immortal Cultivation

"Jin..." Yan Yue was about to speak, but suddenly stopped, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her eyes fixed on the front.

A chill of being watched crept up her spine, making her shudder.

She looked around warily. The dense woods rustled in the breeze, but she didn't see anything unusual.

Nong Jin noticed something was wrong with Yan Yue and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Yan Yue shook his head. "I feel... as if someone is watching us."

Nong Jin followed Yan Yue's gaze and scanned the area, but also found nothing suspicious.

"Perhaps it's your illusion. The trip to the Spiritual Herb Garden was too stressful. Now that you're relaxing, it's inevitable that you're a little nervous."

Yan Yue still felt uneasy. This feeling was too real to be an illusion.

She secretly activated her spiritual power, expanded her perception range, and tried to catch some clues.

At this moment, a charming voice came from the woods: "Hey, fellow Taoists, you are walking so fast, is there something urgent?"

Huadie twisted her waist and walked out from behind a thick tree with a hypocritical smile on her face.

Her eyes moved and fell on the spiritual herb in Yan Yue's hand, and a look of greed flashed across her face.

"Hua Die?" Yan Yue sneered. She saw through Hua Die's disguise at a glance. "What do you want to do?"

Hua Die feigned a pitiful expression. "Why do you say that, fellow Daoist? I just happened to be passing by, saw you two, and thought I'd come up and say hello." She paused, a hint of pleading in her tone. "To be honest, I'm out here looking for spiritual herbs, but unfortunately, I haven't had much luck and haven't found anything so far. I wonder if you could share some with me?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Yan Yue's eyes, "Cooperation? Do you think I will be fooled by you again?" Before she finished speaking, spiritual power surged in her hands, and a golden light instantly trapped Huadie.

Huadie screamed and struggled desperately, but found herself imprisoned by a powerful force and unable to move. "You...you let me go!"

"I won't fall for your tricks again." Yan Yue said coldly.

The trapped Huadie's face turned pale and blue, and the resentment in her eyes almost overflowed.

In the distance, a pair of cold eyes were watching all this, with a sinister arc at the corner of his mouth... "It seems that this spiritual herb is more interesting than I thought..." he murmured in a low voice.

The butterfly in the golden cage was still clamoring, but Yan Yue ignored it and turned to Nong Jin and said, "Let's go."

Nong Jin nodded, and the two were about to leave when they heard a loud shout: "Where are you going!"

In the distance, dust was flying and several figures were rushing towards them, led by Lu Ming.

His face was ashen and his eyes were burning with anger. It was obvious that he came here because the spiritual herb had been stolen.

"Yan Yue! You stole the spiritual herbs from my Lu family, don't even think about escaping today!" Lu Ming roared with gritted teeth, the long sword in his hand humming, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Yan Yue.

Yan Yue sneered, "Master Lu, just because you're not as skilled as others, you call it stealing. Isn't that too shameless?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Today it's either you die or I die!" Lu Ming roared, swung the sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy wrapped in a strong wind rushed straight towards Yan Yue.

Yan Yue's figure flashed, and he dodged the attack easily. A slender soft sword appeared in his hand, and the sword body was shining with a faint cold light.

She was not willing to be outdone, so she swung her sword to fight back, and sword energy coiled towards Lu Ming like a snake.

Seeing this, Nong Jin, who was standing by, became worried and subconsciously wanted to help, but was stopped by Yan Yue with a look.

He knew that Yan Yue wanted to solve the matter by his own strength, so he stood aside silently, vigilantly observing the movements around him.

Several family masters brought by Lu Ming also joined the battle. For a moment, sword energy was everywhere and spiritual power was surging. The surrounding trees were affected by the sword energy and broke and fell to the ground one after another.

"I didn't expect this girl to be so powerful!" exclaimed a family master.

They originally thought that Yan Yue was just an ordinary cultivator, but they didn't expect that she could fight against many people alone and not be at a disadvantage at all.

Seeing that he couldn't take the city after a long attack, Lu Ming became even more angry. He shouted loudly, and the sword in his hand shone brightly, and a powerful spiritual power wave burst out from him.

"Go to hell!"

He swung his sword again, and this time the power of the sword was several times stronger than before. The sword energy was like a rainbow, heading straight for Yan Yue.

Yan Yue did not dare to be careless. She took a deep breath, injected all her spiritual power into the soft sword, and met Lu Ming's attack.

The two powerful forces collided with each other, making a deafening noise, and the air around them seemed to solidify.

Yan Yue was shocked and took several steps back, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Lu Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of pride. "Hmph, let's see how long you can hold on!"

Yan Yue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"It's still unknown who will win!" She turned her gaze and landed on Nong Jin, "Jin..."

Before Yan Yue could even utter the word "Jin", she was interrupted by Lu Ming's fierce attack.

Her figure was as elusive as catkins in the wind, and she was able to handle the siege of several masters with ease.

Every dodge and every counterattack was precise and effective, demonstrating extremely high combat skills.

Nong Jin looked at Yan Yue fighting, his heart filled with admiration and love.

He clenched his fists, resisting the urge to rush forward.

He knew that Yan Yue wanted to face these challenges independently. Although he was worried, he also respected Yan Yue's decision.

Yan Yue occasionally looked back at Nong Jin. When their eyes met, they were full of trust and encouragement. This silent communication gave Yan Yue great strength.

Tie Niu, who was driven out by the Xiuxian family, walked on the mountain road with his head hung down, muttering: "This is strange. At times like this, shouldn't the Lu family ask me for help? Why did they drive me out today?" He had originally thought of finding a chance to repay Yan Yue, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't even have the chance.

He scratched his head, puzzled.

Although Yan Yue temporarily resisted Lu Ming's attack, Lu Ming brought more and more masters, gradually forming an encirclement.

She secretly groaned in her heart. The Lu family really thought highly of her and actually sent so many people to encircle and suppress her.

While dealing with the enemy's attacks, she was thinking about how to escape.

"Yan Yue, if you hand over the spiritual herb obediently, I might spare your life!" Seeing that Yan Yue was gradually losing strength, Lu Ming said with a hint of pride in his tone.

Yan Yue sneered, "If you want the spiritual herbs, it depends on whether you have the ability!" She danced the soft sword in her hand tightly, forcing back the approaching enemies one by one.

Suddenly, a chuckle came from a distance: "What a lively scene! I wonder if I can join in the fun?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white-haired old man in green clothes, walking slowly towards them with a flying sword under his feet.

It was the Taoist Master Qingfeng who had lived in seclusion for many years.

His appearance made the already tense situation even more confusing.

"Master Qingfeng!" Lu Ming's face changed. He didn't expect that even this reclusive master was alarmed.

True Man Qingfeng landed, his eyes swept across everyone, and finally landed on Yan Yue, with a hint of meaningful smile: "Little girl, you are very good."

Yan Yue looked at Master Qingfeng warily, not knowing whether he was a friend or an enemy.

At this moment, Elder Gu also arrived at the scene with his men. When he saw True Man Qingfeng, his expression suddenly became solemn.

"Master Qingfeng, do you want to intervene in this matter too?" Elder Gu asked in a heavy tone.

Master Qingfeng stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.

Yan Yue looked at the increasing number of enemies around him and felt secretly worried.

She didn't know what hidden tricks were waiting for her... This unknown danger made her grip the hilt of the sword tightly.

"Jin..." She whispered softly.
