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

Sensing the pursuers were getting closer, Xu Shuyi said urgently, "Father, Mother, you take my sister and go first. I'll stay behind to cover our retreat. Anyway, I have..."

"No, there's no reason for our family to abandon our loved ones and try to escape. Don't panic, we'll think of something eventually. At worst, we can just throw all the Thunder Spirit Orbs out."

Before Xu Shuyi could finish speaking, Xu Qingman interrupted her.

She knew what Xu Shuyi meant; wasn't he saying that he had a stone space where he could hide?

It's easy to hide inside, but does that mean we don't have to come out?

It should be noted that both the Qingxuan Space of the couple and Xu Shuyi's Stone Space have a drawback: you have to come out of the same place you entered.

Unlike land, the sea offers no cover and makes it impossible to set up an array.

Furthermore, when the space was opened, there was a noticeable fluctuation of spiritual energy. At the same time as the fluctuation of spiritual energy, the people who were tracking it also disappeared. It was easy for them to guess the existence of the personal space.

This is a celestial artifact; once they guess it, they'll be even more determined to hold on to it.

Don't say things like, "We can just hide inside until the secret realm closes and then come out." Everyone suspects that those who enter the secret realm have valuable treasures like personal storage spaces. How could the major sects possibly let go of such a thing?

The world of cultivation has always been a world where the strong are respected and the weak are preyed upon.

Although they don't usually lay a hand on the weak, it doesn't mean they won't; it's just that the temptation wasn't strong enough beforehand.

Those cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage, or even the Mahayana stage, have plenty of ways to manipulate others.

Just as Xu Qingman's family was being chased to the point of having nowhere to escape, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man appeared in front of them.

"Who are you? What do you want by stopping our family?" Yu Jinchen shouted.

The man pointed to himself and said, "It's me, the old tortoise from the ancient cultivator's cave. Don't you remember me?"

The old tortoise knew that there was nothing in the ancient cultivation cave, but it desperately needed the two transformation fruits, so it made its escape after gaining the advantage.

But the old turtle wasn't the type to take advantage of others; he genuinely didn't have anything good on him at the time.

After bringing the transformation fruit back to its lair, before it could even explain to its wife, it hurriedly consumed one of them.

Only after the transformation was successful did he tell his wife the whole story.

After learning the cause of the incident, the old turtle's wife pointed at it and gave it a severe scolding.

"Old man, even though we are demon beasts, we cannot do such a thing against our conscience and deceive others."

If you do too many bad things, you will be punished when you ascend to heaven by lightning. Aren't you afraid?

The Transformation Fruit is so precious! How could you deceive a few human cubs? (In the mind of an old tortoise tens of thousands of years old, animals less than a thousand years old are all cubs.)

No, you have to find them and explain things clearly until they forgive us.

"Well, we've stored quite a few medicinal herbs and ores, right? Take them with you. Give them whatever they like; consider it an exchange."

And so, the extremely aggrieved old turtle was kicked out by his wife.

Is it trying to deceive people? It just doesn't have anything good on it.

Every time it finds something good, the old woman takes it away. It wants to compensate her, but it has to be able to give her something in return.

Unfortunately, by the time it found the island again, Xu Qingman's family had already left, and the old turtle had no choice but to risk being scolded by his wife and go back.

Sure enough, when they were almost at their doorstep, the old tortoise spotted Xu Qingman's family and hurriedly revealed itself to them.

Upon hearing that it was the old tortoise, Xu Shuyin curled her lip and said sarcastically, "Oh, it's you? What, you didn't become much more handsome even after successfully transforming."

Xu Shuyin has not forgotten the time when her family was scammed.

"Alright, Shuyin, we can't waste any more time."

Xu Qingman said a few words to her daughter, then said to the old turtle, "I wonder what you have to do with us? Maybe we can talk about it another time."

We're being hunted down right now; we don't have time to waste.

After finishing their conversation hastily, Xu Qingman and her family prepared to fly away on their swords to another location.

"Being hunted?"

The old tortoise asked a question, but before they could answer, he carefully examined the surroundings and discovered that there were indeed three extremely powerful auras chasing after them.

Without a second thought, it quickly grabbed Xu Shuyin, who was closest to it, and said, "Little girls, don't run away. With your cultivation level, you can't escape those people. Quick, come with me."

Before the others could react, the old turtle pulled Xu Shuyin underwater.

Seeing that Xu Shuyin had been taken away, Xu Qingman and the others didn't think too much about it and quickly followed suit.

The old turtle was right; they couldn't escape the pursuit of those people.

If it were just one, it would be fine; even if the four of us fought with all our might, we might not necessarily lose.

But facing three Transcending Tribulation cultivators at once, all of whom were seasoned sect leaders, his few talismans and magic treasures were nothing against them.

Although they didn't know if the old tortoise could help them escape, they had no other choice but to take a gamble.

Not long after they entered the water, the old turtle used its innate supernatural power to immediately conceal their presence.

Xu Qingman's family was truly lucky; they had only been in the sea for half an incense stick's time when the three ancestors from Donglin caught up with them and arrived at this area.

"Where did they go? How could they suddenly disappear?" Ancestor Qingfeng looked at the sea in bewilderment.

The person he was about to catch could disappear; this was the first time such a thing had happened since he advanced to the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

Looking at the calm sea, Ancestor Mu Chen also spoke up: "Could it be that they have some special magic treasure? Otherwise, how could they have escaped our pursuit?"

"Fellow Daoist Donglin, what should we do now? Do you think they might have some kind of treasure like a personal storage space?"

They were almost catching up with the person, but the person escaped just like that, which made the Eastern Ancestor very angry.

Of the three, he had the highest cultivation level, already at the peak of the late Tribulation Transcending stage. This time, the three were acting together, but ostensibly, he was in charge.

The Eastern Ancestor felt that if he really lost the person this time, he couldn't afford to lose face.

After Ancestor Mu Chen asked this question, Ancestor Dong Lin became even more gloomy.

Before they could figure out how to respond, they heard Ancestor Qingfeng say, "Impossible. We're so close. If someone had a personal space, they couldn't possibly not sense us."

Ancestor Mu Chen nodded, "I was mistaken. When the personal space is activated, the spiritual energy fluctuations are huge. It's impossible for us to be completely unaware of it when we're so close."

After a brief silence, Ancestor Mu Chen spoke again: "Fellow Daoist Dong Lin, do you think it's possible that those people are hiding underwater? If they have some kind of magical artifact to conceal their presence, wouldn't we be able to detect them?"

As soon as Ancestor Mu Chen said this, Ancestor Qing Feng immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, that's quite possible. Why don't we go down and thoroughly search this area? I don't believe they can escape our eyes."

Upon hearing that the three were preparing to go into the water to search, Xu Qingman and her family, who were hiding underwater and dared not move, immediately turned pale with fright.
