Fairy, help me practice

　"Yes, I didn't expect Bai Lian, who is only in the late stage of foundation building, to be so difficult to deal with. It has taken so long and even so many of us can't deal with him."

　"Humph, isn't it because she has an outstanding talent in alchemy that we need to capture her intact? What's more, there is also Jiang Wuyin inside."

　"Okay, stop talking nonsense. She might counterattack soon. We need to maintain the formation to trap her. Otherwise, be careful of the wrath of Third and Nineteenth Grandpas. No one will be in a good situation then."

　The footsteps are far away.

　Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Venerable Lian Jiang was with Jiang Bailian, and from what they said, they would not rashly hurt Jiang Bailian. This was good news.

　Just as he was about to turn around and blend in with the Jiang family's disciples, he heard footsteps approaching from behind.

　It turned out that there was still one person who had not left.

　"Ergou, why do I feel like you're acting weird today?"

　Chen Yao's eyes rolled: "Someone is attacking!"

　At the same time, he released the three purple fire-swallowing pythons into the bushes, turned around and controlled the golden needles to shoot at the man behind him.

　The man was obviously prepared. A green light flashed in front of him and he raised a shield.

　But his shield in the middle stage of foundation building is no match for the golden needle of the golden elixir cultivator.

　With a clang, the shield shattered and the golden needle pierced his heart.

　He stared at Chen Yao's face with wide eyes and fell to the ground dead.

　From beginning to end, he didn't utter a single word of warning.

　Chen Yao retracted the golden needle and fell down.

　Soon, footsteps were heard approaching, and a large number of Jiang disciples came running.

　They looked at the dead middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and then looked at Chen Yao who was curled up on the side.

　"Where is the enemy?"

　Chen Yao pointed at the bushes where the three-purple fire-swallowing python was lying and said angrily, "He saved me..."

　The three-purple fire-swallowing python spewed out a mouthful of poisonous fire and then fled into the grass.

　"Chase!"

　The foundation-building disciples chased after him without caring about his life or death.

　Make sure they are far away.

　Chen Yao quickly stood up and ran towards the clan leader's residence.

　Soon, the Jiang disciples who went to chase the three purple fire-swallowing pythons returned to their original positions.

　Chen Yao, who had already reached the outside of the courtyard wall, breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the situation was really critical.

　Outside the courtyard wall, most of the people are in the late stage of foundation building, but their number is much smaller than that outside.

　Just now, as he was walking along, he saw dark red stakes placed along the way according to the directions of the sixty-four hexagrams, with runes engraved on them. It seemed that they were the formation aimed at Jiang Bailian.

　He looked at the shadowy figures in front of him and the high courtyard wall, not knowing how to quietly enter the yard.

　At this time, a purple round bead in the yard rose into the air, the purple light became stronger, and purple flames burst out and shot in all directions.

　The Jiang family's disciples took up various defensive magic weapons, and at the same time, the dark red stakes lit up and the formation was activated.

　Even so, there were still many screams and groans.

　Fortunately, the purple flames seemed to be spraying according to the directions of the sixty-four hexagrams, so Chen Yao was not attacked.

　After one stick of incense, the purple fire died down and a purple ball fell into the yard.

　Those dark red light beams also dimmed, but were brighter than before.

　At this time, a middle-aged man in fancy clothes strode over along the courtyard wall.

　The Jiang family members who were in the late stage of foundation building bowed and called him "Nineteenth Grandfather" and "Nineteenth Great-Grandfather".

　The man waved his hand, signaling for the ceremony to be excused, and said to the courtyard, "Bai Lian, the situation is stronger than the person. The clan leader has passed away, so why are you so stubborn? Our family has cooperated with Kuang Lu for hundreds of years. How many talented children have we lost to Kuang Lu? But how much has Kuang Lu done for us?"

　"If Wuyin hadn't appeared out of nowhere, the Jiang family would probably still be a second-rate family in Jiujiang. The Qingxu Sect is now planning a counterattack on Kuanglu and needs help. If we join the Qingxu Sect, we can definitely use them to swallow up the Kong and Ma families. After a few hundred years, we can build up our foundation and establish a sect in Jiujiang in no time. Why should we rely on others for support?"

　The middle-aged man's voice was loud and could be heard from far away.

　After a while, Jiang Bailian's voice was heard from the courtyard: "You are going to join the Qingxu Sect and seek the skin of a tiger. My second uncle and I have no right to interfere, nor do we want to interfere. But why are you harming your family?"

　"To accomplish great things, there must be sacrifice and bloodshed?" the middle-aged man said coldly.

　After a long pause, Jiang Bailian said, "Okay, if you want to join the Qingxu Sect, then do so. I don't want to pursue the death of my second grandfather's lineage or my great-grandfather. Send my Junior Brother Chen to me, open the formation, and I'll take my second uncle and Junior Brother away..."

　When Chen Yao heard that she was still concerned about him even though she was in danger, his heart moved.

　The middle-aged man laughed heartily. "Bai Lian, you are at least a hundred years old, how can you still be so childish? If you hadn't come back, I would have gone looking for you, let alone if you had come back and ruined our plans! Should we let you go and tip off the enemy?"

　As he spoke, he glanced back and saw that Chen Yao was neither standing at the wooden stake nor defending himself. He frowned and waved at him coldly.

　Chen Yao's heart tightened, but he had to move forward.

　The middle-aged man said to Jiang Bailian, "To tell you the truth, the condition for Qingxu Sect to help us annex the Kong and Ma families is your Dandao bloodline! Just surrender obediently, and Grandpa Nineteen promises not to hurt you too badly. As long as you hand over your bloodline, you can choose to go to Kuanglu or Qingxu later."

　As he spoke, he handed Chen Yao a dark red wooden nail, which was very similar in style to those wooden stakes.

　"Climb into the yard, find a way to get close to Bai Lian, and stab her in the back of the neck."

　The middle-aged man said coldly.

　Chen Yao narrowed his eyes, knowing that he was being used as cannon fodder, but it was also a good opportunity to meet up with Jiang Bailian.

　He took the wooden nail and climbed up the wall.

　The author says:

Chapter 100 Connectedness

　While the middle-aged man was talking and using magic to attract Jiang Bailian's attention, Chen Yao climbed over the courtyard wall.

　It looked like a fierce battle had already taken place in the courtyard, with corpses everywhere, bloodstains everywhere, and the whole place was in a mess.

　The yard, which should have been a quiet and tranquil pond with lush bamboo and trees, is now stained with thick blood.

　Jiang Bailian was in the room, her graceful figure reflected on the paper window by the light.

　Chen Yao was delighted and slowly approached the house. He pushed the window open and entered.

　A series of sparks and blade lights exploded head-on, and the heat and sharp blade wind hit his face.

　Shocked, he quickly formed his blood into a shield and shouted, "Senior Sister Jiang, I'm Chen Yao!"

　Amidst the endless sparks and blade lights, the blood shield was shattered in an instant. Fortunately, Jiang Bailian recognized his voice and withdrew his attack.

　It turned out that the sparks came from a fiery red pill hanging in her palm, and the blade light came from

　A silver sequin on her chest.

　"Junior Brother Chen!"

　Jiang Bailian's dazed face showed grievance and helplessness. He put away the pills and magic weapons, and threw himself into Chen Yao's arms.

　Chen Yao was stunned for a moment, then he put his arms around her and gently stroked her back to comfort her.

　But he did not waste time, but told Jiang Bailian what he had seen and known.

　"The dark red rune-emblazoned stakes outside are arranged according to the directions of the 64 hexagrams. It looks like some kind of formation. Even if we can break through it, we still have to deal with the intensive searches by the Qingxu Sect and the Jiang family's disciples. The mountain protection formation has also been activated, making it difficult to break through."

　After listening to him, Jiang Bailian regained her composure. She stood up from his arms, her face flushed red as she said, "That dark red wooden stake must be what they used to steal my Dan Dao bloodline."

　After hearing what she said, Chen Yao remembered that after Jiang Bailian attacked with the purple pill, the dark red wooden stake became even brighter.

　"So, as long as you attack, those wooden stakes will be able to take away a little of your blood."

　he reminded her.

　Jiang Bailian frowned. "No wonder they try to trick me into attacking every once in a while. I'm much more tired than usual, and even taking pills can't help me recover."

　"Sister, this is your home after all. You are more familiar with it. Is there any other way to escape?"

　"Have!"

　Jiang Bailian took Chen Yao's hand and went into the inner room.

　The inner room should be the patriarch's bedroom, and a pale old man was lying on the bed.

　"He is my uncle, the Refining River Master Jiang Wuyin."

　"What's up with him?"

　Jiang Bailian's eyes dimmed. "Just now, while trying to save me, he was severely injured by the Third Grandfather and the Nineteenth Grandfather."

　Chen Yao walked to the bedside and found that Jiang Wuyin was barely breathing.

　"They are a family, and their hands are really dark!"

　Jiang Bailian heard his words and could only shake his head helplessly: "My uncle has a strange personality. He won't listen to anyone, but he is chivalrous and hates evil. In other words, he doesn't know how to adapt, so it's inevitable that he will be hated by others."

　She went to the other side of the bed and unfastened a buckle.

　With a "creaking" sound, a wall with runes painted on it was revealed.

　"This is the teleportation formation left by my great-grandfather. Only the closest bloodline in the family knows about it, in order to prevent today's disaster. Unfortunately, he still fell into the trap of those unfilial descendants and didn't use it."

　"Then why didn't you use it to escape just now? Was it because you couldn't open it by yourself?" Chen Yao asked.

　Jiang Bailian's vacant eyes lit up: "Indeed, this rune formation can only be activated if the blood is from my great-grandfather's own heart and soul."

　Chen Yao frowned: "It's a bit difficult to have the same thoughts..."

　Jiang Bailian turned around and smiled at him: "Is it difficult?"

　Chen Yao was stunned for a moment, and then she took his hand and stood on the left and right sides of the rune wall.

　"We all touched the citrine on the wall and thought the same thing."

　Jiang Bailian's beautiful voice sounded in Chen Yao's ears, and his heart moved.

　He couldn't help but think of that night in the back mountain of Danfang Ermai, the beautiful white buttocks under the starlight, and the softness that touched his nose and lips in her quilt.

　"Hmm~"

　Jiang Bailian squeezed her legs together and her cheeks turned red.

　At the same time, the yellow crystal they touched lit up.

　The runes on the wall emitted a yellow light, spread out, and with a "hum", they became a yellow light gate.

　"It's done!"

　Chen Yao said happily and looked at Jiang Bailian.

　He saw her flushed cheeks and she felt his hot fingertips.

　They both looked away at the same time.

　The courtyard was lit up with colorful lights, dust was flying, and roof tiles were flying everywhere.

　"Bai Lian, if you don't come out, I'm going to go in and capture you! Is that bastard Wu Yin still alive? If you don't want him to really die, then get out of here, Third Grandpa!"

　A loud bang hit the yard, and the ground in the house shook.

　Jiang Bailian's expression changed. "My Third Grandfather Jiang Guanglai, a fierce-tempered man at the peak of the Golden Core stage, is here! He's really going to charge into the house. Take your uncle away first, and I'll hold him off for a while."

　As she spoke, she released two pills, one blue and one purple. The blue and purple colors merged to form a ray of light, which broke through the window and smashed towards the burly and fat Jiang Guanglai in the yard.

　"A mere trick!" Jiang Guanglai waved his hand and dispelled the glow.

　In the rosy glow, a golden needle shone with dark golden light and shot straight into his brow.

　His expression changed slightly then, he dodged and stretched out his fingers to clamp it, but fell a few inches short.

　"Great! Nizi actually colluded with the demon cultivators!"

　He rushed towards the house, but golden lines appeared under his feet. The golden chain locks formed a lock net, locking his feet.

　Jiang Guanglai snorted coldly, clasped his hands together, and two streams of snow-white wind blew out from his sleeves, rushing straight into the house.

　Jiang Bailian quickly crushed the purple and green pill and spread a purple and green light curtain in front of him.

　The wind blew and hit the light curtain, causing it to shatter.

　Jiang Bailian flew backwards to the front of the portal. At this time, Chen Yaoyu raised the golden needle and inserted it into the back of Bai Guanglai's neck. He hugged Jiang Wuyin and took Jiang Bailian's hand and went into the portal.

　Jiang Guanglai was prepared this time. He pinched the golden needle with his two fingers, erasing Chen Yao's thoughts and breath. With a shift of his feet, the golden chain lock broke.
