It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?

The distance from the town to Xuanyang City would take about ten days at the speed of a convoy if taking the official road.

Everything was relatively peaceful in the first few days, until the fifth day, when they were about to reach the territory of Xuanyang City, they entered the most dangerous section of the road.

Due to the terrain, this section of road is far away from the post station and hidden in the mountains and forests, so it has become a section of road where bandits are rampant.

The atmosphere in the convoy was no longer as relaxed as it had been in the previous few days, and everyone's expressions became visibly solemn.

However, Shen Yunjian was not affected by this atmosphere and continued chattering all the way.

"Ah Yan, there's a family of immortal cultivators named Cheng over at Qinglan Mountain. Are you from their family?"

"No, we just have the same last name."

"That's true. The aura you carry is much stronger than those prodigal sons of the Cheng family. I think your inheritance must be more powerful than theirs. How could you be from their family?"

Hearing this, Cheng Shuyan was somewhat tempted. Apart from Shen Yunjian, she had never seen any other cultivators and had no idea how her own cultivation was going.

According to Shen Yunjian, is the technique she practices better than that of the Cheng family, a family of immortal cultivators?

The young man escorting the goods saw them following the caravan from a distance, completely unaware, and couldn't help but warn them, "Two brothers, you better keep close to the caravan on this stretch. It's best to take the middle section. I heard a group of bandits has appeared here recently. They're extremely powerful. If they target a passing caravan, no one will be able to escape."

"Okay, thank you for the reminder, Brother Lin."

Cheng Shuyan hurriedly thanked him and pulled Shen Yunjian to the middle of the convoy.

Shen Yunjian didn't take it seriously. With his strength at the seventh level of Qi training, it was impossible for him to encounter an enemy he couldn't deal with in this remote secular world, right?

The convoy moved forward slowly, and there was nothing unusual along the way.

Just when everyone was gradually relaxing their vigilance, something unexpected happened.

A group of bandits carrying weapons jumped out from the woods on both sides and blocked the caravan.

The leader heaved his sword over his shoulder and shouted at the convoy with a look of contempt: "Ah! I planted this tree, I built this road, if you want to pass this road..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Before he could finish shouting, Shen Yunjian couldn't help but interrupt him: "Brother Bandit, can you be a little more creative? Your words have been worn out by storybooks. It doesn't sound like a bandit at all."

He said this with such sincerity that even the serious crowd couldn't help laughing.

The bandit was very angry at his words. He pointed the big knife on his shoulder towards him and said viciously:

"You little brat, there's no need to rush to death like this! Wait a minute, Grandpa will make you understand what it means to live a life worse than death!"

"Hahaha, big brother, you know what, this pretty boy looks like a woman. If he were sold to the Nanfeng Pavilion in the city, I'm afraid he would make a fortune!"

"Yeah, big brother, the guy next to him is not bad either. He's a little dark, so his face isn't very pretty. Let's just capture them both alive and make some money."

In the bandits' lair, everyone laughed arrogantly, as if everyone in the convoy was already in their pocket.

Team leader Zhang assessed the situation and decided that the opposing group of people were not very strong judging from their aura. They were no match for the team members at all. He didn't know where they got the confidence from.

"Stop wasting time talking to them. If you delay, something bad will happen. Go!"

Following a command from Team Leader Zhang, everyone in the convoy picked up their weapons and rushed towards the bandits.

Seeing this, the bandits immediately fought back. The two sides fought back and forth, and people fell down from time to time.

Cheng Shuyan and the other two were watching from behind. The convoy had always had the advantage and the bandits were no match for them.

She immediately became suspicious. This group of bandits was not very strong and it was impossible for them to do what was rumored and destroy the entire caravan they were targeting.

Just as the bandits were being beaten back and the convoy was about to win, the bandit leader suddenly shouted into the forest.

"Please help me, Master Immortal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man "floated" out from the forest.

His feet were about half a foot off the ground, his body was glowing with golden light, one hand was behind his back, and the other hand was holding a whisk, he looked like an immortal.

"Who is so bold? Who dares to insult this immortal?"

With the newcomer's angry shout, the way he appeared shocked everyone in the convoy. This was beyond their understanding of humans and it was impossible for a mortal to do it.

Could it be that they had encountered the legendary immortal? Everyone couldn't help but wonder, finally understanding why this group of bandits was so arrogant.

Seeing the person coming, Cheng Shuyan looked at Shen Yunjian with a strange look, and Shen Yunjian coughed awkwardly.

"It's unlikely to encounter immortal cultivators in such a remote place, let alone two of them at once. Is this place some kind of Feng Shui treasure land?"

Cheng Shuyan stroked his forehead and sighed.

Is this child reliable?

"Ahem, Ah Yan, this guy has the fourth level of Qi training. Brother Zhang and the others can't handle him. I'll go help them."

After saying that, he walked out from behind the carriage where he was hiding.

Cheng Shuyan shook her head and followed immediately. This child was too naive. She was afraid that if she didn't follow, the child would be fooled by the old man.

Shen Yunjian walked out and shouted at the old man without any hesitation: "Old man, who are you? Why are you associating with these bandits?"

"Immortal cultivator?" The old man was shocked when he felt that Shen Yunjian's cultivation was far stronger than his.

"Dao, fellow Daoist, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I was just passing by here, and when I saw the fight, I came over to join in the fun. I'll leave right away, right away!"

After saying this, he ignored the bandit leader's surprised look and floated back into the forest.

"Ayan, is this old man lying to me? Why do I feel that he is not a good person?" Shen Yunjian scratched his head, a little confused.

Cheng Shuyan looked at him in disbelief: "What do you think? He was summoned here by the bandit leader, how could he be a good guy???"

"Oh, I see. I'll go and do justice right away!

Don't run away, you evil spirit! I'll take you in!"

He took out a long sword from somewhere and chased after him, screaming.

Everyone in the convoy was shocked when they saw this scene.

Brother Lin was closest to Cheng Shuyan and couldn't help but ask her, "Cheng, Brother Cheng, can he, can he beat Brother Shen?"

It's no wonder he was suspicious. The old Taoist's golden glow was indeed quite intimidating.

Before Cheng Shuyan could speak, Team Leader Zhang immediately stopped Brother Lin: "Lin Zi, don't be rude to the Immortal!"

Then he looked at Cheng Shuyan again, with a hint of awe and caution in his eyes: "Master Cheng, we were blind and neglected you two earlier. Please forgive us."

Seeing the demon Taoist running away with his head in his hands, he understood that Shen Yunjian was much more powerful than the demon Taoist.

He also saw how Shen Yunjian was trying to please Cheng Shuyan along the way. If Shen Yunjian was so capable, how could Cheng Shuyan be any worse?

Cheng Shuyan looked at Team Leader Zhang and said politely without explaining anything, "Brother Zhang, don't overthink it. Brother Shen and I are just traveling this time and won't do anything to the caravan. I hope Brother Zhang can take us to Xuanyang City."
