After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Ever since witnessing Zhao Dequan's secret meeting with Qingyun Sect cultivators at Xiaoyao Restaurant, Ye Xiaobai has been worried that something might happen, making him distracted during his cultivation these past few days.

Sure enough, one day while Ye Xiaobai was cultivating in his cave, Liu Cheng sent him a telepathic message, revealing that a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Zhao family were behaving strangely that day.

Ye Xiaobai immediately found Liu Cheng to inquire about the specific situation.

"Junior Brother Liu, have you discovered anything unusual?" Ye Xiaobai asked anxiously.

“A few days ago, you told me that the Zhao family might be colluding with the Qingyun Sect, and asked me to arrange people to keep an eye on the Zhao family. Today, we discovered a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Zhao family. They even disguised themselves after leaving the Zhao family. They must be going to do something shady.”

"how many people?"

"About seven or eight people!"

"Which direction did you go?"

"Siping Prefecture!"

"Siping Prefecture? Oh, has Senior Brother Tang Chao returned from his training?" Ye Xiaobai suddenly remembered that the place where Tang Chao trained was Siping Prefecture.

"He and I communicated telepathically that he would return to the sect in the next few days!" Liu Cheng said, looking puzzled.

"Oh no, could it be that they're targeting Senior Brother Tang Chao?" Ye Xiaobai guessed.

"No way, the Zhao family is going to directly attack the disciples of the White Tiger Sect?" Liu Cheng asked incredulously.

"I'm not sure, let's go check it out quickly!" Ye Xiaobai wasn't sure either, so he could only check the area in the direction of Siping City first to see what the Zhao family was up to.

……

Tang Chao's place.

After a six-month training trip, Tang Chao had gained a lot and his cultivation was about to reach the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Originally, Tang Chao planned to return to the sect as soon as the time came, but several Lingjian Peak disciples who were out training nearby were worried about attacks from Qingyun Sect cultivators, so they invited Tang Chao to go with them. Tang Chao readily agreed, so he returned to the sect a few days later.

"Thanks to Senior Brother Tang's willingness to travel with us, the journey back to the sect is much more reassuring!" a thin-looking young cultivator said respectfully.

"Yes, yes!"

The others echoed this sentiment.

"Junior Brother Han, we are all disciples of the White Tiger Sect, it is only right that we take care of each other!" Tang Chao said calmly.

This thin cultivator was named Han Gang. He was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Lingjian Peak. He was worried about the tense relationship between Qingyun Sect and Baihu Sect and did not want to come out for training. However, the elders of Lingjian Peak saw that he was weak and forced him to come out.

Forced to go out and hone his skills, Han Gang had no choice but to reluctantly go out. However, he mostly stayed in the mortal world where ordinary people gathered and did not experience any dangerous things.

I heard that Tang Chao, the famous Golden Saber Madman of Lingjian Peak, went to Siping Prefecture for training, so I naturally came to Siping Prefecture as well, thinking that with Tang Chao's help, I would have more security.

They managed to get on Tang Chao's big ship without any trouble.

Just as Tang Chao and his group were returning to the White Tiger Sect without stopping, they saw that they were almost at White Tiger Mountain.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; they hadn't encountered any danger along the way.

Just then, a group of black-clad cultivators blocked their way.

Tang Chao was immediately shocked. They were almost at the sect, so why did this accident happen?

He then loudly asked, "Who goes there? We are disciples of the White Tiger Sect. Do you wish to be our enemies?"

"We are the ones who will take your lives!" The leader of the men in black didn't waste any more words and immediately began to surround and attack Tang Chao and his group.

There were eight Foundation Establishment cultivators on the other side, while Tang Chao only had four. What was worse, the other side had three late Foundation Establishment cultivators, while Tang Chao's side only had early Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Even the most powerful Tang Chao is close to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. He already struggles to deal with a late-Foundation Establishment cultivator, let alone the other two late-Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The moment Tang Chao engaged in combat, he felt that his life might end there. However, he was not one to accept his fate. In dire straits, he needed to fight with all his might to have a chance of survival.

At the same time, this place is not far from the White Tiger Sect. If any elder or disciple of the White Tiger Sect were to pass by, my life would be saved.

Han Gang and his men were far inferior to Tang Chao in combat strength, and the opposing side had a large number of people, so they were quickly defeated.

"Senior Brother Tang, please help us!" Han Gang saw that the situation was not good and immediately called out to Tang Chao for help.

Tang Chao had already dealt with the difficulties, but he still offered remote support with a single strike when his fellow disciple asked for help.

"Slice mountains and sever seas!"

A yellow blade of light, several dozen feet long, swept across the area. The black-clad men attacking Han Gang and his companions immediately ceased their assault, thus avoiding the deadly blade and easing the crisis for Han Gang and his group.

However, Tang Chao himself was not in good shape. He was hit by his opponent's giant hammer and immediately coughed up blood. He did not hesitate and took a few pills before standing up to meet the next attack.

The opposing side immediately realized that Tang Chao was the toughest one among this group, and immediately dispatched two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators to surround and kill Tang Chao, not giving him any chance.

Faced with the combined attack of two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, Tang Chao was completely overwhelmed. After all, with his early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was already struggling against a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Soon, Tang Chao was once again knocked to the ground, this time severely injured, and could only barely stand up.

"I might not be able to withstand their next attack. Am I going to die here today?" Tang Chao thought with a face full of resentment.

Thinking of his parents still being in the White Tiger Sect and not having properly fulfilled his filial duties, and his fellow disciples and senior sisters, whom he hadn't even had a chance to confess his feelings to, and how he could die so easily, the immense will to survive instantly caused the latent energy within Tang Chao's body to erupt, and his cultivation level instantly broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

"Good heavens, you actually broke through your cultivation level in the middle of the battle, but you must die today!" The black-clad cultivator who was leading the group did not make a move at first, but this time he could not give him another chance.

Originally, he thought the opponents were just a few early Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, but he didn't expect them to be so tenacious. Without any hesitation, he unleashed his killing move.

Tang Chao had just broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment and could still hold his own against two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators for a few moves. However, facing three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, he was now completely powerless to resist.

Despair slowly crept onto the face of this strong man.

Han Gang and the others were already seriously injured and would soon be unable to hold on.

Finally, Ye Xiaobai, Liu Cheng, and the others arrived.

"Who dares to besiege our White Tiger Sect disciples!" Ye Xiaobai shouted from afar. Thinking that his attack wouldn't reach them yet, he figured he could at least intimidate them with his imposing presence.

Sure enough, the other side was also greatly surprised by the sudden arrival of Ye Xiaobai and his group, not expecting the reinforcements to arrive so quickly.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that only Ye Xiaobai and Liu Cheng were present, with cultivation levels of only the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and the early-Foundation Establishment stage, respectively. They were overjoyed, feeling as if another piece of fat meat had been delivered right to their mouths.

When Tang Chao saw that the newcomers were Ye Xiaobai, Liu Cheng, and the others, his despair vanished instantly, and he realized that he had been saved once again.

Han Gang and the others were initially happy to hear that reinforcements were coming, but their excitement immediately cooled when they saw Ye Xiaobai and Liu Cheng's cultivation levels.
