Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

At this time, City Lord Han came here with a group of Jindan cultivators.

"Thank you, Brother Liu, for saving our lives." City Lord Han led everyone to salute Liu Xing to express their gratitude.

"You're welcome, fellow Taoists. Rescuing you is our sect's mission. Fortunately, we arrived in time and prevented the demon tribe from succeeding." Liu Xing also quickly returned the greeting and greeted everyone warmly.

Everyone looked at the warrior before them. He was surprisingly young, looking only in his twenties. Could he have taken some elixir like the Rejuvenating Pill? His cultivation wasn't high, only at the early stages of the Core Formation stage. But he was able to capture a Level 6 demon beast alive. How could it be as simple as it appeared? He must have been hiding his cultivation level, and his abilities were simply too low to be seen.

There was a rather strange figure in the crowd, looking at Liu Xing evasively. With Liu Xing's powerful spiritual sense, he instantly sensed it and also sensed a familiar aura from the other person. Liu Xing thought about it for a moment and seemed to remember some past events.

Liu Xing's spiritual pressure descended instantly. The opponent was only in the early stage of Jindan, how could he have ever seen such momentum? His legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

"Senior, please spare my life! I was just following orders back then and had no choice!" He kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy.

With Liu Xing's current combat capability, he knew that his only recourse was to beg for mercy. Given the enemy's identity, strength, and combat prowess, he would be hunted down and killed even if he fled to the ends of the earth.

"What's going on, Elder Chen?" City Lord Han and a group of fellow Jindan Daoists looked at each other, confused.

Nie Xiaoqian looked calm, as if recalling a century ago, when Liu Xing was wanted by the City Lord's Mansion and had vanished from sight. This had caused her considerable worry, believing she would never see Brother Liu again. Elder Chen had been the first to pursue Liu Xing, but later heard he had been unsuccessful, allowing Brother Liu to escape.

Things are unpredictable. A hundred years later, the City Lord's Mansion was in trouble and had to rely on Brother Liu to save its lives. Nie Xiaoqian sighed in her heart.

Nie Xiaoqian had recovered a lot of her magic power and now she finally had the strength to speak, so she briefly told him about the wanted order for Liu Xing a hundred years ago.

City Lord Han never imagined that the little Luo Luo who was in the early stage of foundation building who he was chasing back then has now grown into such a powerful being, and just now saved his life and the lives of the entire city.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, please calm down. We were blind and made wrong actions back then. All the fault is mine. I, Han, am willing to take all the blame and die to atone for my sins!" City Lord Han was indeed a shrewd and calculating man. He immediately admitted his guilt in order to gain a chance of survival.

Liu Xing looked at him coldly without expressing his opinion, and the atmosphere instantly became freezing cold.

Most of the Jindan cultivators in Haibin City were the leaders of various factions within the city. Since this matter had nothing to do with them, they naturally stood by and watched. Besides City Lord Han and Elder Chen, the City Lord's Mansion also had another priest named Wang. The three of them were no match for Liu Xing, especially since Liu Xing was not alone, but had five helpers with him. With such a fierce threat, the three men in the City Lord's Mansion were terrified, their lives hanging by a thread.

Liu Xing suddenly raised his hand, and two sword energies shot out, severing one arm from City Lord Han and one from Elder Chen. The two dared not resist at all, and watched helplessly as their arms were chopped off, blood flowing.

"Let's put this matter behind us. I won't pursue it any further!" Liu Xing said coldly.

Back then, due to my low cultivation level, five Foundation Establishment cultivators from the City Lord's Mansion robbed me of my demon core. After being killed, they then sent Elder Chen, a Core Formation expert, to hunt me down. I was chased to the point of having nowhere to go, and nearly perished in the sea of ​​demons. It's impossible to say I don't harbor resentment. The City Lord's Mansion bullied the weak, a crime that should not be forgiven lightly. However, my realm has risen, my horizons have broadened, and these people are no longer my match. There's no need to exterminate them; a few punishments will suffice.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for sparing my life!" City Lord Han and Elder Chen immediately kowtowed in gratitude. Knowing their lives were spared, they burst into tears of gratitude, afraid to utter a single complaint. Liu Xing's powerful sense could naturally detect their subtle expressions. He could tell they were terrified, genuinely grateful for the grace of not killing them, and harbored no resentment. So, he nodded and left them alone. If they showed any resentment, Liu Xing would kill them without hesitation to prevent any future trouble for him. He was no hypocrite, prone to soft feelings.

Seeing that the incident had passed without any danger, City Lord Han immediately stopped the bleeding from his arm, picked up the arm that had fallen to the ground, swallowed another pill, and without even having time to reconnect the broken limb, he ran to Liu Xing again.

"My fellow Taoists, you have come thousands of miles to help me. Thank you for your hard work. Please follow me to the City Lord's Mansion to rest for a while. I have prepared some wine to welcome you all." City Lord Han warmly invited everyone to the City Lord's Mansion. Looking at his enthusiastic look, it seemed that the fact that his arm had just been cut off did not exist at all.

"Then lead the way." Liu Xing gave the order, and he admired the thick skin of City Lord Han.

Arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, everyone took their seats, divided into host and guest. Nie Xiaoqian had been closely following Liu Xing from the beginning, and now sat at the same table with him, as if she didn't want to leave.

"Could it be that Junior Sister is having an affair with the guy named Liu?" The eldest senior sister of Huanxi Sect is now the Sect Master of Huanxi Sect, and the former Sect Master, who was also Nie Xiaoqian's master, has passed away.

Back then, the Happy Sect had only one leader who had reached the Jindan stage, and they were isolated and had to rely on the City Lord's Mansion for survival. Now, the Happy Sect has two Jindan disciples, and their strength has greatly increased. This has also greatly improved their status in Haibin City. In recent years, they have added several talented disciples.

Although Nie Xiaoqian broke through to the middle stage of Jindan and her cultivation was higher than that of her senior sister, she was indifferent by nature, did not love power, and concentrated on cultivation. Therefore, Huanxi and the others let her senior sister, who was only in the early stage of Jindan, become the sect leader.

Nie Xiaoqian and Liu Xing walked hand in hand, their expressions intimate. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell they had a close relationship. However, no one had ever seen Nie Xiaoqian's true face, and everyone wondered if Liu Xing was being too greedy. Miao Qiuyue, in particular, was now visibly jealous.

"Brother Liu is really blind. Am I not prettier than Miss Nie?" Miao Qiuyue shouted in her heart. If her cultivation was not inferior to Nie Xiaoqian, she would have gone to duel with her.

Women are incredibly perceptive, especially when it comes to their lovers. Therefore, from the moment Liu Xing rescued Nie Xiaoqian, the two had already begun a fierce rivalry. However, both sides remained restrained, appearing peaceful on the surface, yet their battle was in secret.

"Dear fellow Daoists from the upper sect, we would like to raise a toast to you all and thank you again for your help." City Lord Han took the lead and led the former Jindan Daoists from Haibin City to raise their glasses to toast everyone from Qianji Sect and express their gratitude again.

"We are of the same blood and this is our responsibility." Everyone from Qianji Sect also raised their glasses and humbly returned the greeting.
