Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 15: The Ambushers (Seeking to Continue Reading)

Facing Li Guanxuan's question, the fat robber hesitated for a moment. But when he sensed that two first-grade inferior spirit weapons, small knives, were already pressed against him, his fat face trembled and he stammered, "Yes, it's Bi Zhen..."

Bi Zhen?

Li Guanxuan's spirits lifted. Bi Zhen, Shu Yao's companion?

"This bastard... uh, egg."

Chen Yinshan instantly flew into a rage, ready to charge straight to Shu Yao's house for revenge, but then he paused.

He saw that the fat robber's throat was pierced by a green light sword, sword qi burst forth, and his head was crushed, with blood, flesh, and bone fragments scattered all over the ground.

Zhao Guili was stunned and dumbfounded. She had always thought that Li Guanxuan was a cowardly and timid wimp, but she didn't expect that when he took action, he would be so ruthless and decisive, leaving no chance at all.

Li Guanxuan's face, however, remained calm as he explained, "Bi Zhen and Shu Yao have already fled, or rather... they didn't flee, but have been secretly watching us. If I hadn't killed these three robbers at the first opportunity, they would have immediately come to support. Then it would have been us who would have been in danger."

After speaking, Li Guanxuan's gaze swept around like a knife.

Unfortunately, he didn't have divine sense. If he did, he would have been able to search the area within a dozen zhang radius and find Bi Zhen and Shu Yao, killing them together.

After all, they were already being targeted. If he didn't remove these two nails, Li Guanxuan would have trouble sleeping and eating.

"What do we do now?"

Chen Yinshan was at a loss and could only ask Li Guanxuan.

"Pack up some important items and leave. We don't need the things in the spiritual field anymore."

After saying that, Li Guanxuan began to lick his bag.

In the end, he obtained two inferior spirit weapons, one medium-grade spirit weapon, six medium-grade Return Yuan Pills, three medium-grade Cultivation Pills, and forty-seven inferior spirit stones.

These things were enough to make up for the loss of the spiritual field.

Li Guanxuan gave two Return Yuan Pills to Chen Yinshan and Zhao Guili, asking them to immediately recover from their injuries to avoid being ambushed by Bi Zhen.

After packing everything up, Li Guanxuan brought out Wen Rongxin and casually took off the talisman stuck in the house. The four of them left, without any hesitation.

At this moment, several figures slowly approached.

"I never thought that Fellow Daoist Li has already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining..."

"He's really ruthless. He only asked one question and directly killed the person."

"We have to kill them. You heard what he said. If Bi Zhen comes to support, the two fourth-level Qi Refining cultivators will directly kill the two families."

"In other words, Fellow Daoist Guan's family of five are all killers under Bi Zhen."

"..."

The neighbors around them chatted while feeling the bodies, seeing if there was anything left.

Some people directly entered the house to search, while others harvested the spiritual rice and vegetables in the spiritual field...

There were even some who directly divided up the fat robber's corpse.

The low-level scattered cultivators living in the slums wouldn't let go of even a bit of resources.

...

It wasn't until they entered the outer city of Azure Serenity City and saw the guards patrolling that Li Guanxuan slightly slowed down his pace.

Li Guanxuan was still fine, but the three people beside him were already panting heavily from exhaustion.

"Old... Old Li, aren't you tired?" Chen Yinshan asked, gasping for breath, his face filled with astonishment.

Li Guanxuan calmly replied, "I've developed the ability to escape from being chased in the past."

"..."

Chen Yinshan held his breath for a long time before two words burst out from between his teeth: "Impressive."

"How did Bi Zhen find out that we suddenly came into a large sum of money? We didn't show off our wealth in front of outsiders," Chen Yinshan asked.

At this moment, Zhao Guili looked puzzled and turned to Wen Rongxin, asking, "I often see Shu Yao coming to chat with you. Could it be that you unintentionally leaked it?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Rongxin quickly waved her hands in panic and said, "No, no, she only comes to ask me if I want medicine or if I want to eat at her place, or if we want to go out together..."

Li Guanxuan said, "Rongxin has never been good at communicating with others. I told her a long time ago not to have too much contact with Shu Yao. This person is not trustworthy... I didn't expect her to bring a wolf into the neighborhood."

Chen Yinshan glared at his wife and shouted, "With Li's cunning and slyness around all the time, how could Rongxin possibly let it slip? Can't you use your brain?!"

Li Guanxuan: "..."

Are you praising me or scolding me?

Zhao Guili explained, "I don't mean to blame Rongxin. It's just that Rongxin has a simple personality and is easily deceived and used by people like Shu Yao and Bi Zhen."

Wen Rongxin's face turned red, and she whispered in protest, "I-I'm not stupid."

"It's my fault, my fault..."

Zhao Guili was stunned for a moment, then hugged Wen Rongxin and expressed her apology.

Li Guanxuan walked and pondered over the course of events.

When he returned to Ping'an Garden, Li Guanxuan asked, "Does Bi Zhen often sell medicine to people in the neighborhood and shamelessly go to other people's homes to freeload?"

Chen Yinshan and his wife had been collecting herbs and hunting demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains for the past year and were not aware of this.

Wen Rongxin nodded and said, "Yes, the neighbors have all talked about him, but he doesn't care."

Upon hearing this, Li Guanxuan sighed and explained, "It's possible that Fellow Daoist Guan was discovered by him in this way, and then suffered a tragic end... In addition, Old Chen is at the third level of Qi Refining, and he lives next door. When you and your wife returned safely from the Hundred Thousand Mountains after a year, looking so happy, it was natural to guess that you must have gained something. So, while Old Chen and I were out, he went to your house and set up a formation to kill and rob you at the opportune moment."

Zhao Guili's face turned pale and she said, "No wonder Shu Yao, that despicable person, sent me something early in the morning. It turns out she had ulterior motives!"

Li Guanxuan smiled and said, "Fortunately, you have been guiding Rongxin's cultivation in my house. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

After careful consideration, Zhao Guili broke out in a cold sweat.

"Damn it, if I encounter those two scoundrels, I'll chop them up right away!" Chen Yinshan cursed.

Li Guanxuan said, "Don't worry, one is at the first level of Qi Refining, and the other is at the fourth level of Qi Refining. They can't be too far away from Azure Serenity City. There will be a chance to encounter them... Besides, Bi Zhen's method of wiping out people and obtaining treasures must have attracted many enemies. We may not be the only ones looking for them."

"You have many tricks up your sleeve. How about setting a trap to kill them?" Chen Yinshan suggested.

"No time, I need to draw symbols and cultivate," Li Guanxuan rolled his eyes and then reminded, "I advise you to temporarily swallow your anger. There will be opportunities in the future. Improving your cultivation is the most important thing."

Zhao Guili felt that this made sense and solemnly warned, "Old Chen, you must remember what Old Li said. Don't act on your own, and report to me when you go out!"

"Okay, okay, I got it," Chen Yinshan waved his hand impatiently, but he was still quite angry inside.

Just as Li Guanxuan said, if his wife hadn't been guiding Wen Rongxin's cultivation during the day, it was very likely that she would have been played with and killed by the three bandits.

Li Guanxuan also knew that Chen Yinshan was not feeling well, so he took out four protective talismans, a medium-grade spiritual weapon dagger that he had just obtained, and two medium-grade Qi Nurturing Pills, and said, "Put the protective talismans in the house to protect yourself from eavesdropping. The Qi Nurturing Pills might help you break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining sooner, and one of them is for Guili."

"These are all your spoils of war, I can't accept them... but if you insist, I'll take them. You have to accept the spiritual stones, otherwise, I won't feel right," Chen Yinshan took out a hundred pieces of low-grade spiritual stones and said seriously.

"Okay, okay, acting all manly like a woman..." Li Guanxuan laughed and scolded, took fifty spiritual stones, and casually said, "You owe me fifty spiritual stones, remember that."
