Fairy, help me practice

Chapter 288 Assassination Arrangement

　The little Taoist boy followed Chen Yao and Jiang Bailin silently and no longer tried to stop them. On the contrary, he looked a little nervous.

　The winding mountain path is about to come to an end, and the peak is just within reach. Then, whether it is the woods on both sides of the path or the pavilions and towers that pass by occasionally, they are all as quiet as a tomb.

　Jiang Bailin's expression became increasingly ugly, and he stretched out his hand to grab the little Taoist boy's collar.

　"Tell me, what's going on? You're trying to stop us at the foot of the mountain, you must be feeling guilty!"

　She was filled with murderous intent, and the little Taoist boy turned pale with fear.

　"I didn't..." The little Taoist boy flinched, but soon mustered up his courage, "I won't talk to you now. I'll wait for the ancestor to come back and then I'll talk to you about the crime of trespassing through the mountain gate!"

　Jiang Bailin threw him far away. The little Taoist boy flipped several times in the air before he floated straight.

　Chen Yao glanced at him and asked, "Where is the Jiang family's ancestor?"

　The little Taoist boy pursed his lips and looked unwilling to talk.

　Jiang Bailin frowned and was about to teach him a lesson.

　Chen Yao stopped her with his arm, and Jiang Bailin shouted angrily, "Don't stop me!"

　She had been in a superior position for a long time and was now filled with anger, and was disgusted with Chen Yao's obstruction.

　Chen Yao didn't retract his arm. Instead, his tone was extremely calm: "Now is not the time to act rashly. Even if you beat him to death, it will be useless and will only be a waste of time."

　Jiang Bailin lowered his head and had to admit that what Chen Yao said made sense.

　"let me."

　Chen Yao walked towards the little Taoist boy.

　The little Taoist boy floated back a few feet as if on guard.

　"I won't do anything to you, because the Jiang family and Taoist Qingniu are old friends. However, if you continue to refuse to cooperate with us, our ancestors will deal with the situation on your mountaintop, with you being the only one in the entire Chaoqing Peak. At that time, you should consider what Taoist Qingniu will do to you."

　Chen Yao spoke word by word, ensuring that the little Taoist boy could understand.

　The little Taoist boy's face changed and he played with his sleeves.

　"I... they said that the order passed down by our ancestors forbids the stay of outsiders at Chaoqing Peak. It is not conducive to the circulation of the pure energy in the peak and will delay the recovery of your ancestor..."

　"Who?"

　"People from the Ni and Li families."

　The Li family had dealt with the Ni family when obtaining the scales of the Fire Jinchen Snake, and the Ni family was the most prestigious family in Jiujiang.

　Chen Yao and Jiang Bailin looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

　If the entire Jiujiang is trying to deal with the Jiang family, I'm afraid the situation will become even more grim.

　"Where is the ancestor?"

　The little Taoist boy floated dejectedly towards a place in the forest: "It's not on the peak, it's in a monastery ahead."

　"Take us there." Jiang Bailin caught up with him first.

　The monastery is located in an area surrounded by bamboo trees and with a clear stream flowing through it, making it look quiet and peaceful. It is indeed a rare and beautiful place for leisurely retreat and self-cultivation.

　But Chen Yao and Jiang Bailin had no intention of appreciating the tranquility at this moment, so they pushed the door open and strode in.

　On the green bamboo wood bed in the inner room, Jiang Mengyang lay quietly, his chest rising and falling for a long time.

　Jiang Bailin breathed a sigh of relief, threw himself to the bed, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

　Hearing her and Chen Yao's voices, Jiang Mengyang opened his eyes with difficulty, but he only opened his eyelids a crack, looking extremely tired.

　He stretched out his old and skinny arms clumsily, as if he was moving a mountain, but he still touched Jiang Bailin's hair lovingly, and then extended his hand to Chen Yao.

　Chen Yao hurried forward, sat down on the edge of the bed, and held the powerless hand.

　Jiang Mengyang forced a smile, feeling relieved.

　"Being worried about us."

　Chen Yao comforted him.

　Jiang Mengyang nodded, loosened his arms, and fell asleep again.

　"We have to move him," Chen Yao looked at the little Taoist boy, "to the foot of the mountain."

　"No, no, no!" The little Taoist boy shook his head like a rattle. "The ancestor ordered that this place has the fastest flow of pure energy, making it the most suitable place. The turbid energy at the foot of the mountain gathers there, which is actually not conducive to his cultivation!"

　Chen Yao approached him and said, "Listen, this is the Jiang family's great elder. He was sent here after being assassinated. You, Chao Qingfeng, have been lured away. If he dies here, you will be held responsible!"

　The little Taoist boy bit his lip and made up his mind after a long time: "Okay!"

　"Help me get him down the mountain, sister. Go notify the family and ask them to send someone over as soon as possible."

　Chen Yao and the little Taoist boy lifted the bamboo bed and instructed Jiang Bailin to do something.

　The little Taoist boy reminded: "The gatehouse on the top of the mountain has a flying sword for communication, which is the fastest in all of Jiujiang."

　Jiang Bailin nodded to Chen Yao: "I'll go right away, be careful!"

　"rest assured."

　Chen Yao and the little Taoist boy took Jiang Mengyang along the steep mountain and dense forest to a slightly hidden and sturdy stone house at the foot of the mountain.

　"If what you said is true, wouldn't this be the first place to be killed if they came to kill people?"

　The little Taoist boy didn't understand.

　"What kind of patients do you usually treat here?"

　"Bruises and injuries. The turbid air here is too strong. The ancestor would not casually place seriously injured people here. Otherwise, wouldn't it ruin his reputation..."

　Before he finished speaking, the little Taoist boy understood what Chen Yao meant.

　"Okay, follow me to the mountain gate and eat this pill. While you eat it, imagine the most terrifying person or thing you have ever seen."

　Chen Yao handed the little Taoist boy a transformation pill.

　The little Taoist boy took the pill suspiciously, sniffed it, and found that it was non-toxic and harmless, so he felt a little relieved.

　"What kind of elixir is this?"

　"If you don't want anything to happen here, just cooperate with me and don't ask too many questions. You're also a Jindan cultivator, and you're from the famous Chaoqing Peak. Why are you so timid?"

　Provoked by Chen Yao, the little Taoist boy's face flushed red: "Who said I was timid! Just eat it!"

　After saying that, he tilted his head back and swallowed the transformation pill into his stomach.

　"Okay, follow me to the mountain gate."

　As soon as Chen Yao and the little Taoist boy arrived at the mountain gate, the little Taoist boy's transformation pill took effect. A violent wind blew, and his body transformed into a giant python coiling around a mountain.

　The scales are like crystal clear red jade, and flames rise from the gaps between the scales from time to time, like a fire net covering the body.

　Good fellow, the Fire-Golden Snake...

　Chen Yao was a little stunned, hoping that he could scare the person who came!

　Thinking of this, he released the three purple fire-swallowing pythons.

　In an instant, two majestic and powerful snakes coiled in front of the quiet mountain gate of Chaoqing Peak, and could be seen from dozens of miles away.

　"If someone really comes, he must be at least at the Nascent Soul stage, right?"

　The Fire-Golden Snake transformed by the little Taoist boy did not have the same aura of the original body at all. Its voice was very small and trembling.

　Chen Yao, who was standing on top of the three-purple fire-swallowing python, could see that it was trembling slightly.

　"What are you afraid of? Looking across the entire South China Sea, no family or sect would dare to openly break into Taoist Qingniu's home and kill someone. At most, they would lure us away and then sneak in to assassinate the ancestor. With such a powerful presence like ours, it's no problem to act with confidence."

　Before he finished speaking, several bright rays of light appeared on the ground line in the distance and flew towards him at a high speed.

Chapter 289 Qingniu Taoist

　Chen Yao heard the sound of the little Taoist boy's teeth chattering.

　He is a golden elixir after all, and his fighting power is intact, so why is he so useless?

　In fact, he was very nervous inside, but he looked very calm on the outside.

　"Show off your aura as the number one medical practitioner in the South China Sea!"

　Five or six rays of light of various colors flashed and were already three feet away. Chen Yao scolded the little Taoist boy in a low voice.

　Amidst the loud "hum" sound, the little Taoist boy overreacted due to the tension, and transformed into a fire snake that coiled down the mountain and rolled up the sky full of fire clouds to bully the newcomer.

　The rays of light stopped.

　Several of them were confronting the "Fire Brocade Snake". From Chen Yao's perspective, the little Taoist boy's tail was shaking like a sieve, and it was hard for him to maintain his momentum in the front.

　The other people in the light were looking at Chen from a distance.

　Chen Yao took his time, took out a rattan chair, and placed it directly on the three-purple fire-swallowing python, then sat down and started rocking.

　It was as if he had never seen those people at all.

　Those people observed Chen Yao for a long time, looked at each other, and the light reappeared and quickly disappeared beyond the horizon.

　The Fire Golden Snake retreated, its voice garbled and incoherent: "Call for help... what should we do with them?"

　He thought those people were going to call for help.

　Chen Yao also felt that they would not give up like this, so he looked up at the mountain path: "Now, I just hope your flying swords are fast enough and our people can react quickly enough!"

　"You are also a Jindan, right?"

　The little Taoist boy asked hopefully, and then continued, "That fairy is also a Jindan. We are three Jindans and we are in Qingfeng. You said they dare not attack in a big way. So, even if we can't win, we can still escape, right?"

　Chen Yao leaned against the rocking chair, glancing at the snake head that was pressed down by the little Taoist boy, with a strange look on his face.

　"how?"

　The little Taoist boy felt something was amiss.

　Chen Yao looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, the three of us golden cores are now counterfeit goods..."

　"What did you say?"

　The little Taoist boy's snake eyes were startled, and only then did he realize that his strength had long since fallen to the foundation-building level.

　Seeing that he understood, Chen Yao shrugged: "Bai Lin and I were poisoned, so... we don't even have the combat power of the Foundation Establishment Stage."

　"Die!"

　The little Taoist boy twisted his huge snake body, furious.

　However, no matter how angry he was, it was of no avail.

　In just a moment, Chao Qingfeng was shrouded in a dark cloud.

　The dark clouds were like waves, gloomy and dark, piling up more and more, as if they were going to crush the isolated peak.

　The visitor this time has not even shown up yet, but his momentum is so huge, so there is no need to talk about his strength.

　The little Taoist boy was completely disheartened.

　"The reason he's not showing up is because he's observing us. Don't show any fear. Stand firm. As long as we can hold out until Jiang's reinforcements arrive, we'll be fine."

　The little Taoist boy glared at Chen Yao with his snake eyes: "I hate you!"

　As he spoke, he shook his snake-like tail like a sieve, raised his head and hissed towards the sky, bluffing himself.

　The three purple fire-swallowing pythons under Chen Yao's seat also began to spew out poisonous flames, burning the black clouds.

　"Evil beasts, Chaoqingfeng is a place where you can't run wild!"

　A roar rang out from the clouds, the sound was enough to break metal and stone, and Chen Yao's throat felt fishy and sweet.

　, forcibly swallowing the surging blood.

　The strength of the person who came is such that it would be difficult to deal with him even if he was in his prime.

　The little Taoist boy was extremely frightened, but it was impossible for him to retreat when the time came, so he could only open his snake mouth and shout.

　A cloud net suddenly separated from the clouds and pressed down. It was too late for the little Taoist boy to dodge and he was completely wrapped in it. The net became tighter and tighter and soon shrunk to the size of a palm.

　The cloud net flew into the clouds, and an old man with gray hair appeared. He stretched out his hand to grab the cloud net and couldn't help but sneer.

　"It's a clever bluff."

　His eyes shone with golden light as he stared straight at Chen Yao.
