Luochuan City is located in the eastern part of Chu State's Beihuang Prefecture. It is the mortal city closest to Qi State. Because it is located on a traffic thoroughfare, a large number of merchants come and go here, making it extremely prosperous.
The person in charge of Luochuan City is the famous Duan family of Chu State. They control various industries in Luochuan City and their daily profits are astonishing.
The Duan family is a martial arts family that has been inherited for nearly two hundred years. The 360 Piaoling swordsmanship is famous in the world. This kind of superb swordsmanship can often defeat opponents with stronger internal strength.
Second-rate internal strength has the fighting power of first-rate masters, and first-rate internal strength can rival super-first-rate masters. Today, in the Duan family, there are six super-first-rate masters, nearly thirty first-rate masters, and countless second-rate masters.
The head of the family, Duan Yuanfeng, is a top-notch expert. Fifteen years ago, he killed eight top masters with one man and one sword in fifty moves, completely consolidating the Duan family's position in the Northern Wasteland.
Some people in the martial arts world even speculated that Duan Yuanfeng had entered the legendary martial arts realm.
With such achievements and rumors, the Duan family's position in Luochuan City is extremely stable, and they have the resources of this prosperous city firmly in their hands, and no other sect around them dares to reach out.
The Duan family is located in the center of Luochuan City and is divided into inner and outer courtyards. The outer courtyard is very large and houses the outer disciples of the Duan family and some deacons and elders. Only the core disciples of the Duan family can live in the inner courtyard.
On this day, a solemn atmosphere filled the discussion hall in the inner courtyard of the Duan family.
Sitting at the head of the meeting hall is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has a long face, short hair, and a face like a crown jewel. He has a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows across his sharp eyes. He has a calm momentum and holds a purple-green sword in his hand.
.
He is the head of the Duan family, Duan Yuanfeng.
Sitting below were three old men in their fifties and two women who looked to be in their thirties. The eyes of these five people were shining brightly, and each of them had a very strong aura. They were all martial arts masters.
top players.
One of the white-haired old men coughed lightly, breaking the calm in the meeting hall: "Yuan Feng, are you telling the truth? Will a dignified immortal cultivator take action against us mortals?"
"Even if our Duan family is rich, we still don't have anything worthy of the attention of immortal cultivators."
Duan Yuanfeng said in a hoarse voice: "Third uncle, I received a coded sign from Wanshu, saying that she and the second elder who had been missing for a month were poisoned by an immortal cultivator in the city, and that this immortal cultivator also wanted to massacre my Duan family.
"
"Only Wanshu and I know this code word, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."
When everyone heard this, everyone looked heavy.
Wanshu's full name is Zhu Wanshu, and she is Duan Yuanfeng's wife. Her qualifications are as amazing as Duan Yuanfeng's. She is the second-best master of the Duan family after Duan Yuanfeng, and the second elder of the Duan family is also a martial artist of this level.
Such a strong man actually died silently in the city. If the family head hadn't told them, they wouldn't have been able to believe it. This also shows how terrifying the immortal cultivators are.
Looking at the expressions of the people below, Duan Yuanfeng's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness. He took a deep breath and said:
"This time I summoned several clan uncles to discuss matters overnight. The purpose is to ask you to take Yun'er and the core disciples of the Duan family to leave Luochuan City overnight and go to Pingjing City to lie dormant to avoid the immortal cultivators."
The white-haired old man raised his eyebrows and said, "What about you, Yuan Feng?"
Duan Yuanfeng narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone: "I will stay and ask this immortal cultivator why he killed my wife and destroyed my Duan family. I also want to know the legendary immortal cultivator's magic and the three-foot-long sword in my hand.
Compared with swords, how different are they!"
After hearing this, the expressions of the five people below changed.
"Master of the house, no! Immortal cultivators can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and can also perform all kinds of magical spells. They are among the immortals and cannot be matched by us warriors."
"Let's leave together overnight. Immortal cultivators may not be able to find out!"
…
Duan Yuanfeng tightened the long sword in his hand and said, "Don't worry, I, Duan, am not a reckless person."
"According to the news conveyed by Wanshu, although this immortal cultivator is in Luochuan City, he still needs to practice a certain skill, which will take a month. When I first got the news, I had already sent someone to pass it on.
Book, please ask my father to come out."
Everyone was even more shocked.
"What? The old master is still here?"
"Didn't the old head of the family leave the Duan family thirty years ago and disappear without a trace?"
Surprise flashed in the eyes of the white-haired old man and he said: "Yuan Feng, my eldest brother went to find the illusory holy city of warriors in order to break through the current martial arts realm. You can contact him, could it be..."
Others also thought of something, their expressions were shocked, and they all looked at their family leader.
Duan Yunfeng said with a look of admiration on his face: "Yes, my father successfully found the Holy City of Warriors and received guidance from experts. He entered the legendary realm of Martial Saints as early as twenty years ago. My Duan family has cultivated it for two hundred years.
The highest man."
"Twenty years have passed now. My father's cultivation level has reached such an unfathomable level that he may not be afraid of immortal cultivators!"
When the white-haired old man heard this, his expression was a little soothed. His eyes flashed with hope and he said: "The Holy City of Warriors is a myth of the martial arts. It is said that strong men at the martial saint level can fight against immortal cultivators. Our Duan family can be saved.
"
Duan Yuanfeng continued: "The battle between the Martial Saint and the Immortal Cultivator must be extremely dangerous. Those who lack strength may be killed by the residual power of the battle."
"I have to ask my third uncle to coordinate and arrange for Yun'er and the Duan family members to evacuate Luochuan City overnight."
The white-haired old man nodded and said, "Okay, let's make arrangements right now."
After speaking, the white-haired old man waved his hand and led the others outside.
After seeing everyone leave, Duan Yuanfeng showed a look of helplessness on his face and said: "Yun'er, come out, my father knows you are here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slender yellow figure jumped down from the roof beam and landed in front of Duan Yuanfeng.
She is a young girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. She is wearing a yellow dress, tall and has a two-foot dagger on her left and right waists. She is full of heroic spirit.
The little girl bit her lip with her teeth, and stared at Duan Yuanfeng with a few tears in her beautiful big eyes.
Duan Yuanfeng touched the little girl's forehead lovingly and sighed: "Yun'er, you heard it all."
The little girl held the hilt of the sword at her waist tightly with both hands, her voice was clear and angry, and she said loudly: "Dad, I want to stay too, and I want to avenge my mother!"
Duan Yuanfeng's eyes flashed with reluctance, and he said softly: "Dad and grandpa will avenge mother. Yun'er, your cultivation level is too low. Staying will only make dad scrupulous. Be obedient, go back and pack your things, and be with you."
Grandpa left Luochuan City overnight."
The little girl held her white lips, her little face was full of struggle, but after a moment, she slowly released her hands holding the dagger, wiped the tears from her eyes, nodded with difficulty, and then she turned around
With a flash of form, he jumped back to the roof beam with his elegant movement, and climbed out from the side window of the roof.
Duan Yuanfeng watched the little girl leave, his eyes filled with doting.
This young girl who is full of heroic spirit and has a strong aura of the world is his and Zhu Wanshu's daughter, Duan Yiyun, who is fifteen years old this year.
Duan Yiyun seems to have inherited the talents of her parents. She is extremely talented in martial arts. What is rare is that her determination is unmatched by ordinary people. Outsiders cannot imagine that such a little girl can practice martial arts for five or six hours every day.
As early as when Duan Yiyun was thirteen years old, she had already practiced the 360 Piaoling Sword Techniques extremely proficiently, and the Duan family's Qing Gong also made her extremely slippery.
Duan Yiyun is now fifteen years old and can definitely compete with the second-rate masters. If it were not for his young age and lack of strength and internal strength, I am afraid that even the first-rate masters would not be the opponent of the little girl.
Duan Yuanfeng murmured to himself: "No matter what, Yun'er must leave Luochuan City first."
At this moment, there was suddenly some noise outside, and the white-haired old man hurriedly returned to the meeting hall, with a look of fear on his face.
Duan Yuanfeng had a bad premonition in his heart and asked hurriedly: "Uncle Third, what happened outside!"
The white-haired old man said in a difficult tone: "Yuan Feng, outside the inner courtyard of my Duan family, at some point, a large amount of black fog appeared, enveloping the Duan family's residence. If we hadn't been preparing to evacuate, we might not have been able to spot it in the dark night.
"
"Many disciples will unknowingly return to the distance when they walk into the clouds and mist. Such strange scenes are probably the tactics of immortal cultivators."
Duan Yuanfeng quickly asked: "Where is our secret passage?"
The white-haired old man smiled bitterly and said: "We have already checked. The underground secret passage has been filled with soil again. We didn't notice it at all. Yuan Feng, we are trapped and dead here."
Duan Yuanfeng grabbed the purple-green sword, used Qing Gong and fired it outward. He wanted to try this weird black mist himself.
…
The guards on duty at night also immediately discovered the strange black fog that appeared. A large number of Duan family's outer disciples were alarmed, but no matter what methods they used, they could not enter the inner courtyard. Once they entered the black fog, they would lose their way.
There are many first-class masters among the outer disciples. They have heard about the legendary immortal cultivators, and they vaguely guessed that the black mist that enveloped the inner courtyard was the method of the immortal cultivators. Apart from the black mist, they found no traces of other immortal cultivators.
In the first few days, most of the outer disciples thought that this was an immortal cultivator invited by the Duan family to arrange the legendary magic circle in the inner courtyard for protection.
The various systems of the Duan family are extremely perfect. Even if the core disciples in the inner courtyard do not come forward, Luochuan City will still operate normally. The outer disciples of the Duan family will also keep the news secret and there will be no outside rumors.
But after waiting for half a month and there was still no movement in the inner courtyard, some shrewd disciples became more active and left Luochuan City on various pretexts for carrying out tasks.
If the immortal cultivator is an enemy, staying away from Luochuan City is a life-saving move. If the immortal cultivator is invited by the Duan family, the reason for going out to perform the mission is sufficient.
