Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

The two heroes of the Northwest also knew that neither of them were 'smart'.

They've gotten to where they are today and made a name for themselves in the underworld not because of their brains, but because of their cowardly nature, their willingness to yield to the weak, and their 'noble' character of being willing to lose face and even betray their enemies for their lives.

It can be said that as long as Jiang Yuchuan could let the two brothers go today, even if it meant making them kneel down and kowtow in front of everyone, calling him "Father," they would not hesitate or resist at all and would do so immediately.

But in reality, Jiang Yuchuan didn't waste any more words with the two of them. With a flick of his finger, he manipulated the spiritual energy surrounding them and sent it into their bodies.

When the two Northwest Heroes saw the eerie green light that was coiling around them and making them unable to move begin to burrow into their bodies like venomous snakes, they were immediately terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat and screaming and begging for mercy.

But the two people's cries did not stop the green lights; instead, they accelerated them.

After the green light completely entered their bodies, the two heroes of the Northwest felt as if their dantian had been swallowed up by something and disappeared without a trace.

The disappearance of the dantian signifies something self-evident.

Although the two have regained their mobility, they have become completely useless, collapsing to the ground and unconscious.

Everyone had already stopped fighting and were staring blankly at the two Northwest heroes who had been so arrogant just moments before, but were now crippled and unconscious on the ground.

The melodious birdsong drifting from the trees on both sides made the surroundings even quieter.

After a brief silence, the group of men brought by the Northwest Duo scattered like birds and beasts, disappearing into the woods without looking back.

This group of people was just a makeshift team that had been assembled not long ago; they could share wealth and honor, but not hardship.

Besides, now that the leaders have been eliminated, for these small fry to stay and fight to the death is simply courting death.

After escaping a calamity, Gu Yi and his two companions, along with the remaining guards, all breathed a sigh of relief.

After suppressing his shock, Gu Yi immediately led Gu Rong and Gu Lan over and bowed to Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing to express his gratitude.

Having witnessed Jiang Yuchuan's terrifying strength, Gu Yi no longer dared to associate with Jiang Yuchuan as an equal. His tone and actions became much more respectful and reserved.

Jiang Yuchuan didn't care about this, or rather, he was already used to it.

After all, whether in the world of cultivation or the martial arts world, strength is the most respected.

When facing a stronger opponent whose strength far surpasses one's own, whether out of awe or fear, a person's words and actions will naturally change.

When Gu Rong came to stand in front of Jiang Yuchuan again, his face turned pale and his eyes kept darting around. If you looked closely, you could also see that his clenched fists, which were white, were trembling slightly.

If time could be turned back, even if he were beaten to death, he would never say another bad word about Jiang Yuchuan, such as calling him a pretty boy.

After witnessing Jiang Yuchuan's strength, he was quite certain that all the bad things he had said before had been heard by the other party without missing a single word.

After all, this is not a difficult task for martial arts masters with profound internal strength.

But time cannot be reversed, and there is no medicine for regret.

He could only pray in his heart that Jiang Yuchuan would be magnanimous and not hold his previous words against him.

He had actually thought about apologizing to Jiang Yuchuan, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it in front of so many people, especially his subordinates.

Fortunately, Jiang Yuchuan didn't say much to the three of them, which relieved Gu Rong and made a vow in his heart that he would stay as far away from Jiang Yuchuan as possible from now on.

Gu Lan, who secretly harbors feelings for Jiang Yuchuan, also appeared quite unnatural in his presence.

Seeing the strength Jiang Yuchuan displayed, Gu Lan's heart, which had just begun to stir, had to fall silent once again.

A person should know their own limitations. Someone who is so outstanding in terms of ability, appearance, temperament, and talent is beyond her reach.

After thanking Jiang Yuchuan for his help, Gu Yi immediately began to take stock of the caravan's casualties.

Including the three siblings, there were a total of eighty-five guards accompanying them this time.

In the fierce battle just now, only eight people died. Of the remaining people, only a very few were seriously injured and unable to move. The rest were all fine.

To be fair, given the scale of the attack just now, such damage is already quite minor.

If Jiang Yuchuan hadn't intervened in time and captured the two leading figures from the Northwest, their entire caravan would likely have perished here today.

Gu Yi felt a surge of relief. He was glad that he had insisted on inviting Jiang Yuchuan to ride in his caravan, which had saved him from today's calamity.

Although Jiang Yuchuan's strength meant that if he had taken action from the beginning, he could have ensured that his caravan suffered zero casualties, Gu Yi did not harbor any resentment about it.

Although he invited Jiang Yuchuan to travel with the caravan, upon closer examination, the two had only shared a drink at the same table once, making them practically strangers.

Whether Jiang Yuchuan makes a move or when he makes a move is none of his business, and he has absolutely no reason to condemn him.

Furthermore, in the martial arts world, masters like Jiang Yuchuan are either eccentric or surrounded by followers, each possessing their own unique temperament.

In their eyes, weak martial artists are no different from ants. They don't care at all whether they live or die.

Therefore, Gu Yi was already very grateful that Jiang Yuchuan was able to save the three siblings at the critical moment, and he would not have any other thoughts.

Upon seeing so many wounded in the caravan, Qi Changqing immediately remembered his duty and took action without hesitation, treating and bandaging each of them.

Caravans travel frequently and inevitably encounter unexpected situations, so they would carry some herbs to treat injuries in case of emergency.

With these herbs, Qi Changqing was able to move around much more easily, and in just over an hour, he successfully examined and bandaged all the wounded.

This was a completely unexpected and delightful surprise for Gu Yi. Therefore, he thanked Qi Changqing profusely.

During the rest of the journey, Jiang Yuchuan and Qi Changqing received the highest level of treatment from the entire caravan.

Jiang Yuchuan and the others both respected and feared him, so apart from Gu Yi, no one else dared to take the initiative to talk to him.

But Qi Changqing was different. His age and the fact that he had treated their injuries instantly bridged the gap between them. So, it didn't take long for Qi Changqing to become one of the guards, and he heard many interesting stories from them.

More than ten days later, the caravan finally entered Jinwu City.

After entering the city, the caravan's carriages stopped in front of a tall pavilion standing in the center of Jinwu City.

As soon as Gu Yi and his two companions dismounted, they saw a spirited young man stride out of the pavilion.

"I heard you encountered the two heroes of the Northwest on your trip? The damage was considerable—"

Before the man could finish speaking, his gaze immediately fell upon Qi Changqing, who had jumped down from the carriage. His eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed excitedly:

"—Senior Brother Qi!"

"Master Gu—Junior Brother Gu, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

Qi Changqing was very happy to see Gu Xingzhi again.

He already knew from his casual conversation with the caravan guards that Gu Xingzhi was the second young master of the Gu family in Jinwu City, so he wasn't too surprised when he saw that the person who ran out of the merchant guild was Gu Xingzhi.
