Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

As soon as he finished speaking, the man gripped the flying sword tightly with both hands, and a dozen cold laughs emanated from his body.

"Wow!"

These voices were sinister and terrifying, possessing a strange power that sent chills down one's spine in an instant.

More than ten evil spirits shot out from the black-robed man and pounced on the Akagi family cultivator.

The cultivator was terrified and turned pale, but still instinctively stuck a protective talisman on himself.

In an instant, he was enveloped in a layer of golden light. However, the evil spirits immediately lay on the golden light and began to gnaw at it. The golden light, which was originally as solid as a rock, was almost completely devoured in a short time.

At this moment, the cultivator could only desperately turn his gaze to the old man from the Akagi family, who immediately shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Quickly use the Flame Talisman to burn them to ashes."

These words were like a wake-up call. The cultivator immediately took out five Flame Talismans from his storage bag, activated them with all his might, and then threw them out haphazardly.

Because of the haphazard throwing, the five Flame Talismans only hit three evil spirits. The three evil spirits were burned and screamed in agony in an instant, flying wildly in the sky, and finally could only fall down unwillingly.

Seeing that he had killed three evil spirits, the man's confidence soared. He pulled out his flying sword and used it to fight the evil spirits.

However, reality is cruel; a dozen or so evil spirits tore him to pieces in an instant.

Two young men from the Akagi family members who were already hiding in the formation nearby immediately emerged and were about to go out to rescue the people without saying a word, but were sternly stopped by the old man.

"Go back! Aren't there enough dead people already?"

Then he looked at the middle-aged man who was being swallowed up, closed his eyes in despair, and murmured, "This is fate."

After they had devoured everyone, the evil spirits squawked excitedly, searching for the others. Some even charged at the black-robed men, but were immediately restrained and pulled back by one of them.

The man in black robes immediately gave the order, and the surrounding men in black robes immediately obeyed, using spells, magical artifacts, talismans and other means to attack the formation. However, it had no effect whatsoever. In fact, the men in black robes who got too close were even killed by the Akagi family members inside with talismans.

Seeing this, the leader of the black-robed men remained completely calm, and instead laughed evilly, "You think you can hide in this tortoise shell and I can't do anything to you? Hahaha, how foolish!"

He then took out a talisman and said, "Give it to me, Chi!"

The old man, Akagi, who was carefully observing the movements of the man in black robes, suddenly narrowed his eyes and shouted, "It's a formation-breaking talisman! Once the formation is broken, take the surrounding goods and run away separately!"

At this moment, he already knew that these evil cultivators were not simple. They could even produce a first-grade top-quality array-breaking talisman. Judging from the distribution of power in Jinling County, these rogue cultivators were mostly subordinates of Linggui Daoren.

Linggui Daoren was a mid-Foundation Establishment stage evil cultivator from Jinling County. He was known for killing, robbing, and committing all sorts of evil deeds. In the entire Jinling County, apart from the Guiyun Sect, no one dared to touch him. Other families would rush to seize any profit they saw.

The four major families have repeatedly joined forces to send people to hunt him down, but because of his meticulousness, he has always managed to escape.

Nine years ago, the four major families sent people to hunt him down, but he escaped their pursuit by self-destructing one of his natal evil spirits.

Now that I think about it carefully, I'm afraid this person's injuries have already healed, and perhaps these evil cultivators were sent by him to take revenge on the Akagi family.

Boom! The array-breaking talisman struck the array, and the array's light instantly dissipated. It would take at least two hours for it to automatically recover, and after two hours, the people inside would probably already be dead.

Once the formation was broken, the Akagi family members immediately fled in all directions with their goods.

Seeing the Akagi family members flee, the man in black robes raised the corners of his mouth slightly, licked his lips excitedly, and said to another female cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, "You go after the others, I'll handle this old man."

After saying that, he transformed into a cloud of black mist and sped away.

The female cultivator in black robes also quickly pursued her target.

Three miles away, Xia Yuhui, who was standing on a tree, withdrew the magic power he had poured into his eyes. He had just used the Spirit Eye Technique and had taken in the entire fight in front of him.

Now that his time to reap the benefits had arrived, he strengthened his breathing technique once more and quickly ran off in one direction.

"When he sees injustice on the road, of course he will draw his sword to help."

Five miles away, a male and a female cultivator dressed in the attire of the Akagi family were fleeing at high speed, pursued closely by four black-robed evil cultivators.

At this moment, the female cultivator was already so frightened that tears streamed down her face. The male cultivator could only comfort her, saying, "Sister Rou, don't worry. The family's support should be arriving soon. As long as we can delay for a few more hours, we will definitely be able to turn the danger into safety."

The evil cultivator behind said in a deep voice, "That's right. You might be able to escape danger, but if we capture you, you will suffer endless torture, a fate worse than death. Once I capture you two, I will first skin you alive, then extract your souls and refine them into evil spirits, making you slaves for eternity."

"hehe!"

The other evil cultivators also sneered repeatedly. Clearly, they had no worries about the two escaping their pursuit. After all, their shield techniques were obviously superior to the two in front of them. They only needed to wait a little longer to catch up.

Unbeknownst to them, Xia Yuhui had been waiting for them in the direction they were heading.

"Fellow Daoist, save us! We are from the Akagi family, and we are being pursued by evil cultivators. If you can save our lives, we will surely repay you handsomely in the future." After running for a while, the male cultivator from the Akagi family suddenly brightened up and shouted to Xia Yuhui, who was meditating and recovering his mana ahead.

From an angle unnoticed by them, Xia Yuhui's lips curled slightly, and then he stood up, looking over with a bewildered expression.

The evil cultivators, however, did not suspect anything and immediately laughed, "Fellow Daoist ahead, we see you are also a rogue cultivator. If you stop those two ahead, we will give you a sum of spirit stones after we have dealt with them. How about it?"

"Fellow Daoist, do not listen to the nonsense of these evil cultivators. They are all ruthless killers. You must not trust them." Upon hearing this, the cultivator from the Akagi family immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly retorted.

Seeing that Xia Yuhui showed no intention of making a move, another member of the group of evil cultivators immediately shouted, "Boy, since you are unwilling to help, leave quickly, or we will definitely tear you apart."

Another evil cultivator said, "It's alright, kid. Go help those two. You can turn the three of you into three evil ghosts together."

At this moment, Xia Yuhui seemed to have made a decision and replied, "Fellow Daoists of the Akagi family, let the three of us join forces to eliminate this group of evil cultivators who are threatening the cultivation world."

Fellow cultivators, the first few chapters are just a transition period; things will only get more exciting from here on out—that's how cultivation novels are.
