The Magician of Cultivation

Jiangyang City is famous in Guyue Country, firstly because it is located on the border, and secondly because the Xiao family is located in Jiangyang City.

The overall strength of Guyue Kingdom is slightly better than that of Xueyan Kingdom.

Although there are only five great martial artists, two of them have reached the pinnacle of great martial artists.

Xiao Yalan, the ancestor of the Xiao family in Jiangyang City, is one of the top martial artists and is now 146 years old.

That afternoon, outside Jiangyang City, a horse-drawn carriage slowly approached.

The coachman driving the carriage was a bald, strong man in his forties.

He was wrapped in a black robe, with a calm aura. Even a casual glance of his seemed to reveal a gleam of brilliance and a hint of ferocity.

The curtains on both sides of the carriage were lifted, and through the left and right windows one could clearly see two children sitting inside.

On the left was a girl of about twelve or thirteen, with fair skin, as delicate as a jade sculpture, especially her big, watery eyes, which showed intelligence.

On the right is a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old. He has a calm expression beyond his age, big, bright eyes, and gives people a feeling of a warm boy next door.

These three people were none other than Li Yu, Li Mengyao and Tan Lang who came from the Royal City of Xueyan Kingdom.

Since the successful negotiation of the Qixia Mountain Alliance two months ago, Li Yu bid farewell to Baxia Chun and his friends from Xueyanguo, and set out for Guyue Kingdom with his sister and Tan Lang.

Although only a year has passed, his strength is already much greater than when he first came out of the Ghost Mist Forest.

At that time, he was only at the peak of the initial stage of foundation building, but now he has reached the stage of enlightenment and can be called a great master.

Given the characteristics of cultivators, even when facing a great martial artist at the fourth level, they would not be much inferior.

Even if he uses his trump card, he can easily defeat the peak great martial artists.

What's more, Tan Lang is now by his side.

Even though Tan Lang lost to Li Yu in the competition, if he really had the intention to kill Li Yu, the outcome would be hard to predict.

Tan Lang has always been known as the number one person under King Wu, so how could this be just a false reputation?

On that day, Li Yu borrowed the body of King Wu Liu Hanfeng and relied on the advantage of the Suzaku Sword to perform the Soul Thorn at all costs, and only then did he win by chance. If they were in the other place, the outcome would definitely be very different.

The carriage arrived at the city gate. Just as the guard at the gate was about to step forward to question him, Tan Lang frowned, and an invisible force mixed with murderous intent instantly locked onto the guard.

The guard's face suddenly turned pale, his body trembled, and he couldn't utter a word.

Seeing this, Li Yu shook his head helplessly. He had to lift the curtain of the carriage and pat Tan Lang's shoulder to signal him to restrain his breath.

Tan Lang snorted and withdrew the force.

Li Yu lifted the car curtain and stuck his head out, saying gently: "We are just passing through here on our way to Jiangyang City for business. Please give us some convenience." The guard came to his senses, saw that Li Yu had a friendly attitude, and was afraid of Tan Lang's strength, so he hurriedly let him pass.

After entering Jiangyang City, Li Yu and others felt the bustling and lively scene in the city. But they didn't know that the Xiao family had already noticed their arrival. The Xiao family's ancestor Xiao Yalan stood on the family tower, with a sharp gaze, and murmured: "The visitor from afar is extraordinary, and I don't know why he came."

Li Yu and his companions found an inn to stay in. At night, just as they were about to rest, there was a slight noise outside the window. Li Yu became alert, Tan Lang tightened his grip on his weapon, and Li Mengyao hid behind his brother. A shadow flashed by, followed by a deep voice: "Outsiders, you'd better leave Jiangyang City as soon as possible. This is not the place for you to stay." After that, the shadow disappeared, leaving only Li Yu and his companions with a puzzled look on their faces.
