After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

"Hey, you guys seem to be in high spirits. To be able to laugh so happily even in this perilous secret realm, you must have had a good harvest, right? Why don't you share some with us brothers?"

Seeing the group of carefree cultivators before them, the family's smiles vanished. It seemed they had been robbed.

Yu Jinchen snorted coldly, "Heh, you've got some nerve."

The highest level of cultivation among them was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, yet they dared to act as bandits in the secret realm.

Judging from their attire, they're probably a makeshift team of independent cultivators. So, even if we kill them all, it shouldn't cause any trouble.

Yu Jinchen has always believed that he will not offend others unless they offend him, but if someone bullies him, he will not hesitate to take action.

Unless you encounter someone you can't afford to offend for the time being, you can only lie low for now and wait until you have the ability to deal with them.

Seeing that he hadn't intimidated the other party at all, the leader waved his hand and said, "Move..." Before he could finish the word, Yu Jinchen had already taken the initiative and thrust his sword straight at them.

The man immediately used his sword to block, and the two swords clashed, producing a crisp sound.

Although the man's cultivation level appeared to be a small step higher than Yu Jinchen's, he was a step slower and was immediately forced back a step by the sword energy emitted by Yu Jinchen.

Seeing that their leader had already started making a move, the others immediately rushed towards Xu Qingman and the others.

Xu Qingman leaped in front of her family, and with a sweep of her spirit sword, the people running at the front were immediately knocked to the ground by the sharp sword energy.

"Brother, this is bad! We've been tricked! This woman is also at the Nascent Soul stage!"

The Nascent Soul cultivator's hand trembled, and he, who was already struggling to withstand the strain, was now in even worse shape.

Little did he know that this group not only pretended to be weak but also had an inexhaustible supply of talismans, as if they didn't need spirit stones.

Indeed, after arriving in Ning'an City, Xu Qingman and her family discussed it and decided that it would be easier to lower people's guard if they didn't show off too much. Therefore, Xu Qingman always revealed her cultivation level as the late Nascent Soul stage.

With a high-level concealment talisman, as long as you don't encounter a powerful expert in the Integration stage, basically no one can see through it.

This group of people had been eyeing their family outside the secret realm, but unfortunately, the Yue family was there at the time, so they didn't dare to make a move.

After entering the secret realm, they didn't specifically look for Xu Qingman's family. In any case, besides those from sects and aristocratic families, there were quite a few low-level rogue cultivators inside, and their business had been quite prosperous during this period.

But now that we've unexpectedly encountered this situation, we certainly won't give up.

I thought only Yu Jinchen was capable of fighting in this family, but it turns out he was just pretending to be weak while actually being strong. We're in trouble now; things might not end well today.

Who would have thought that someone who spends all his time hunting geese would now have his eyes pecked out by them?

Except for the one at the Nascent Soul stage who managed to hold out for a while, the rest of these people were utterly no match for Xu Qingman. In a short time, apart from their magical treasures, everything else in this group turned into ashes.

After inspecting all the storage rings, Xu Jingheng shook his head and sighed, "Tsk tsk, no wonder some people like to rob others. Look at their storage rings, they're full of good stuff."

"Hmph, you need to be alive to enjoy it, otherwise it's just a bargain for us." Xu Meifen laughed smugly.

Her daughter is amazing; she defeated more than twenty grown men in just a few thrusts.

Seeing that his father only talked about having good things but didn't produce a token, Xu Qinghe couldn't help but ask, "Father, didn't you find the token to enter the secret realm?"

"These people must have been brought in by others with spirit stones. Many cultivation families have tokens passed down from their ancestors, but they are reluctant to let their young people come in and take risks, so they sell the spots to some rogue cultivators."

After hearing Yu Jinchen's explanation, Xu Qinghe said he understood. Anyway, his nephew had already obtained one piece, and if he couldn't get a spot in the sect when the secret realm opened next time, he could still come in with his family.

Chen Guiying has always been afraid of ghosts, and felt that the place was eerie because so many people had died here. Seeing that they were chatting happily, she immediately said, "There's nothing good left here, let's leave quickly."

Xu Qingman nodded. "Okay, let's go."

Xu Qingman had already noticed that although her grandmother was already a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she was still afraid of ghosts just like before.

At this moment, the family is standing outside a dark cave.

"Little Candy, is there really a treasure in here? I can't sense it."

Seeing her friend being questioned, Little Candy said somewhat unhappily, "Uncle, there must be something there. Xiaobai never lies. Let's go in and see for ourselves."

Xu Jingheng was so angry that he slapped his son and scolded him, "Alright, you little brat, you're such a big man and you still keep provoking our little candy."

Xu Qinghe covered his head and jumped up and down, "Dad, what did I say that made you blame me? Oh dear, ever since Xiao Shitou and his sister came along, I'm no longer your favorite little darling. My life is so hard!"

Ms. Chen Guiying stepped forward, put her arm around him, and patted his shoulder (she originally wanted to pat his head, but he was too tall to reach) to comfort him, saying, "Oh dear, they don't care. Grandma loves my good grandson."

Seeing Xu Qinghe acting up again, the whole family couldn't bear to watch. He's over 1.8 meters tall, yet he dares to call himself a little darling. Now, only the old lady is willing to coax him.

Although she could see clearly with her divine sense, Xu Qingman still took out two luminous beads for illumination, knowing that using her divine sense would easily lead to fatigue.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the depths of the cave, like biting into sand while eating, which instantly made the group feel uncomfortable all over.

One by one, they used their divine sense to probe over, trying to see what it was.

Before long, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They never expected that they had stumbled into a scorpion's nest.

Seeing the swarms of scorpions getting closer and closer, it was too late to leave.

Scorpions are already quite frightening, and now they're appearing in the thousands at once.

"Ah! How terrifying!"

Xu Meifen and her mother-in-law were so frightened by what they saw that they couldn't help but scream.

Xu Qingman quickly threw down a defensive array plate to cover her family members. After telling them not to go out, she and her husband went out to kill the scorpions.

After seeing his sister and brother-in-law leave, Xu Qinghe followed suit, slapping a defensive talisman on himself and joining them in resisting the scorpion swarm.

The old lady initially wanted to stop him, but Xu Jingheng and his son stopped her. The child was grown up and couldn't live under the protection of the elderly couple forever; he had to learn to face danger on his own.

Now that his sister and others are there, they can help him in case of danger, but what about in the future? He can't always have someone by his side; one day he'll have to go out and make his own way in the world.

As for the eager little stone siblings, they refused to let go no matter what.
