Do you know what mythical life is?

"A martial artist at the True Qi Realm?"

Qin Mu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "It's alright. Just stay in your residence and cultivate for the next two days, and don't go out."

"Your place isn't far from the martial arts school. I can sense anything immediately, and the Falling Immortal Sword can get there in an instant."

He didn't ask why a martial artist at the True Qi Realm would attempt to assassinate Lu Ping'an.

They didn't even ask Lu Pingan how he knew.

None of this matters.

In the ancient world of Canghai, he could protect whomever he wanted and kill whomever he wanted.

"Thank you, Master!"

Lu Ping'an was overjoyed.

He truly hadn't expected Qin Muzhi to be so helpful.

Even though they were at the martial arts gym, they were still able to keep an eye on him.

Thinking of this, he immediately realized that he might have been under Qin Muzhi's watchful eye all these days.

However, this is clearly a good thing for him.

After all, besides his exceptional talent, he had no other secrets.

As for the Nine Imperial Daoist Books...

This treasure existed in his soul sea without any unusual phenomena, and was basically undetectable by others.

"Cultivation!"

"Once we've dealt with that True Qi Realm martial artist, we'll take the giant tortoise to the Longyun Mountains."

Relieved, Lu Ping'an bid farewell to his master and returned home.

With his master's assurance, he immediately felt at ease.

However, this only applies to him.

His master couldn't help with the Lu family's affairs or the troubles with his maternal grandfather.

His master was indeed powerful, but he had to stay in Yunxi County to wait for the Immortality Bottle to be created and could not leave.

Otherwise, if the bottle of immortality is taken away, all his efforts will have been in vain.

Once he obtains the Immortal Bottle, Qin Muzhi estimates that at most he can only take him to Luoxian Mountain to retrieve the Hunyuan Qi Cudgel.

After that, I'll probably have to prepare to ascend to the Qian Yuan Great World.

"Cultivation!"

Lu Ping'an devoted all his attention to cultivation.

……

"I didn't expect so many people to come to Longyun Mountain Range."

The following day, Jiang Xun followed Qiu Qianhai out of the Longyun Mountains.

Qiu Qianhai was his master, who had just broken through from the True Martial Realm to the True Qi Realm.

"That's normal. The Longevity Bottle can extend one's lifespan. No one would not want to fight for such a treasure. In fact, most of those who have come here now are just nobodies. The real powerhouses have not yet arrived."

Qiu Qianhai shook his head.

He came here just to try his luck. After all, he's old, and breaking through to the True Qi Realm was just a fluke.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, I fear I will never be able to advance any further in this lifetime.

"Let's go to Yunxi City and take care of that Lu Ping'an."

Qiu Qianhai said no more.

We started walking towards Yunxi County.

He had no grudge against Lu Ping'an.

However, Lu Ping'an's maternal grandfather, Chen Congnan, offended a powerful figure in the Guyue Sect.

The important figure didn't even say much, yet countless people below began targeting Chen Congnan.

He was just one of them.

Once he cuts off Lu Ping'an's head and brings it to Cangyue Ancient City, it might just be a ticket to the game.

In the Ancient Realm of the Vast Ocean, there are only a few places with a large number of special buildings suitable for martial artists at the True Qi Realm to cultivate.

Outside of these few places, True Qi Realm martial artists are extremely rare, and you can hardly ever see one.

Among them, Cangyue Ancient City is the sacred place for True Qi Realm martial artists to cultivate, which he plans to visit next.

The two walked hurriedly and soon arrived at Yunxi County.

"I'm going upstairs to rest for a bit. You go and find out about Lu Ping'an's situation."

Passing by a brothel, Qiu Qianhai waved to Jiang Xun and sent him away, then went upstairs.

Jiang Xun didn't take it to heart and strolled around Yunxi County, asking any martial artists he encountered who the number one young person in Yunxi County was.

"The number one among the younger generation?"

"Besides Lu Ping'an from the Four Symbols Martial Arts School, there's no one else."

"Although he was born in Tianhai City, he joined the Four Symbols Martial Arts School in Yunxi County, so he is naturally considered a person of Yunxi County."

After making some inquiries, Jiang Xun soon found the Four Symbols Martial Arts School and Lu Ping'an's residence.

After scouting the area, he quickly walked back.

……

"Is this the place?"

Late at night, Qiu Qianhai and Jiang Xun, dressed in black, arrived outside Lu Ping'an's courtyard.

"Walk!"

Qiu Qianhai pulled Jiang Xun along, used his lightness skill to leap lightly, and landed silently on the courtyard wall.

"Get out of here."

After glancing at the courtyard and seeing that there were no problems, Qiu Qianhai pulled Jiang Xun again, preparing to jump off the courtyard wall.

"call out!"

Just then, a sword light, as white as frost and snow, like a suddenly appearing cold star, pierced through the sky from behind without warning.

Just moments before, Qiu Qianhai's toes had left the top of the wall, and his body was slightly tilted.

The next instant, that condensed light swirled around his head.

Before he even knew what was happening, the sword light precisely grazed his neck.

Qiu Qianhai's expression froze, instantly shifting from cold and resolute to utter bewilderment and horror.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but only managed to utter a muffled "ho".

He felt his vision begin to churn and invert, and he lost connection with his body.

His body remained in a forward-falling posture.

And because of the loss of strength at the moment of being killed, the hand that was originally holding Jiang Xun clenched tightly involuntarily.

Dragging Jiang Xun, who was still unaware of what had happened, they fell off the courtyard wall with a thud, landing heavily in Lu Ping'an's small courtyard.

"Who is it?"

"Young master, be careful! There's a thief!"

The lights came on.

Several figures rushed out of the house.

"Master...Master..."

Jiang Xun scrambled to his feet and quickly looked toward his master.

They discovered that their master's body was fine, but his head was nowhere to be found.

A moment of terror sent a shiver down his spine, making his tail go numb.

"Jiang Xun?"

"Is this your master? Where's his head?"

A figure walked over, looking down at Jiang Xun from a high vantage point; it was Lu Ping'an.

By the light of the lamp, he looked at Qiu Qianhai's corpse and knew that it must have been his master who had done it.

But then he was surprised to find that the man's head was gone.

He searched the yard, but couldn't find it.

"I...I don't know..."

Jiang Xun answered blankly.

"Uncle Liu, could you go outside and look for him? He might have rolled outside."

Lu Pingan glanced at the courtyard wall.

"it is good."

Liu Cang nodded and stepped outside.

With Lu Chengyuan here, he had no need to worry about Lu Ping'an's safety at all.

Moreover, judging from the methods used, it was undoubtedly their young master's True Qi Realm master who made the move this time.

"Let's get started."

Seeing Liu Cang leave, Lu Pingan turned his gaze to Jiang Xun.

"What?" Jiang Xun was taken aback.

"You came here to kill me, didn't you? Pick up your sword and do it."

Lu Pingan repeated.

Before him, Jiang Xun was the most talented young person in Tianhai County.

It is said that he broke through to the Qi and Blood Realm a long time ago.

"I didn't... I didn't..." Jiang Xun's face turned pale, and he retreated in a panic, as if trying to explain himself.

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force on the hilt of his sword!

"Sing!"

The longsword was drawn, its cold light flashing, and it slashed upwards in a sinister arc, aiming straight for Lu Ping'an's throat!

"roar!"

But at that very moment, Lu Ping'an suddenly exhaled and roared, a divine tiger's howl, causing Jiang Xun's sword strike to pause slightly.

Then, with a shift in his steps, his movements became ethereal, a blend of reality and illusion, and in an instant, he was close to Jiang Xun, pressing down with a palm, his power silently unleashed.

"Bang!"

Jiang Xun's eyes bulged, and all his movements froze instantly.

He looked down at his chest, his eyes filled with disbelief, and then his life force quickly vanished.
