Banshee Family Training Record

"We hope you will not disturb our rest."

As she spoke, she turned around, pulled Yun Chuan, Yan Shuiyi, Su Youling and others together, and set up camp on the spot to rest.

The Li family's pillar of state stayed there, never leaving his side, without considering anything about saving face.

After all, he had already sensed that the sealing ground of the Xuanhuang Mother Beast was now empty, and it must have been captured by these rebels.

He also recognized Yun Chu'an and knew that he was one of the greatest enemies of the Qin state, so he absolutely could not let him leave safely under any circumstances.

He must die here!

This was his true thought, and Yun Chuan and the others were well aware of it.

However, even though they knew this, they didn't have any good solutions. After all, on the surface, Su Youling and Yan Shuiyi had no reason to help him fight against the Qin army.

After a while, everyone set up camp, but soon, Yun Chuan and others, as well as Zuo Qian, Gu Jian, Gu Yu and others, gathered in the same tent to discuss their next strategy.

As soon as she entered, Su Youling couldn't control her emotions and stomped her feet angrily, saying, "How shameless! How utterly shameless! He is a pillar of a great nation, how can he have no sense of responsibility at all!"

"Evil forces are rampant! How many people have the Ruthless Cult harmed? We finally managed to eradicate them completely, but what's on their minds all this time? It's all their own petty scheming and making up those high-sounding excuses!"

She was extremely frustrated. Beside her, Zuo Qian's aged eyes gleamed with a sharp light. He then said in a deep voice, "Their goal is to wipe us out. Damn it, we've dragged this out for too long, and now we're surrounded and can't even retreat..."

His words were pointed, and Su Youling felt a pang of guilt: she had asked him to cooperate, but now the Qin army was attacking, and they were facing annihilation...

"Is there any way..." she murmured, then her face filled with regret, "Damn it, I can't just attack them directly..."

Gu Yu's face was full of tension, but upon hearing Su Youling's words, her expression turned somewhat desperate: "He's in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, who else could possibly stand against him..."

Her voice made Yan Shui feel a pang of heartache. The latter pursed her lips and turned to look at the person who had remained silent.

The clouds are at peace.

Of all those present, he was the only one who openly and honestly opposed the Qin state.

and so……

"Chu'an," she whispered, "if we give you everything we have under our belt, are you sure you can handle it..."

"Go and defeat an enemy at the mid-Nascent Soul stage."

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Yun Chu'an's eyes.

His heart was filled with fighting spirit. Since the battle in the capital of Jin, he had learned many new spells, and his combat power had been significantly enhanced.

Therefore, he is now extremely eager to verify just how much his strength has improved, and...

Can we defeat a true mid-stage Nascent Soul enemy?

He was eager to try, but before he could even speak, he saw Su Youling's eyes light up, and she said impatiently, "Oh right, I forgot about you! Oh, and that other thing!"

Yun Chu'an was stunned. Looking at the girl, he saw that her face was flushed and her hands were gesturing wildly in the air: "That, that, it's the four magic seals used by the leader of the Ruthless Sect!"

"Do you remember where we went? That thing is very useful, and I can modify it for you so you can use it directly!"

As she spoke, she was overjoyed and couldn't help but jump up and down twice.

Yun Chu'an was taken aback upon hearing this, then overjoyed: "Then thank you very much for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Su."

As he spoke, he took out his storage bag, retrieved all four magic seals, and handed them to her.

Then, he glanced around at everyone and spoke, his voice firm and resolute: "Leave this to me. Since he insists on staying here, I will make him pay a bloody price!"

He spoke so frankly, and Gu Yu, standing beside him, looked at his tall back and felt her heart pounding wildly, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.

Her cheeks flushed red, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands. At that moment, there was nothing else in her eyes, or even in her entire world.

Her eyes and mind were filled with nothing but his image.

So handsome...

Her emotions were surging, and at this moment, she finally crossed a critical point.

Then, a system voice suddenly sounded in Yun Chu'an's ear: [Ding, Gu Yu's trust level has increased, triggering the quest 'Conquer Gu Yu'.]

A pale blue screen appeared in front of him, and then lines of small text appeared on it.

[Task: Conquer Guyu]

Mission Description: Gu Yu, a white rabbit demon from the desert uprising army, has fallen for you because of your powerful strength and responsible declaration. Continue to demonstrate your sense of responsibility, and she will become a strong and powerful asset on your family's path to development.

Mission objective: Develop Gu Yu into a member of your family.

Quest Reward: Earth Elemental Realm Cultivation Technique

Uh, it doesn't seem to be something strongly related to combat power, but rather to construction?

Yun Chu'an had this thought in his mind, but then dismissed it and focused his attention on Su Youling.

On the other side, Dongfang Yue was still thinking about how she and her senior sister could help him as much as possible without personally intervening.

Now that she saw that Su Youling had a better way to help him, she breathed a sigh of relief and realized that she didn't need to help him for the time being.

She then took Yan Shuiyi's hand, turned around and left, heading to pursue the remnants of the Ruthless Cult.

The desert rebels were facing off against the Qin general surnamed Li. If these guys dared to disregard the rules and attack, they would risk their lives to warn Yan Shui and his group, so that people from reputable families could see their true nature.

Everyone had their own things to do, and on the other side, the Nascent Soul stage old monster surnamed Li was also busy with his own affairs. (The last two lines appear to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated text.)

He set up two hidden magic arrays to temporarily monitor Yun Chu'an and the rebel army. He took a break, hid behind them, sat cross-legged, and chanted incantations. Soon, a majestic and imposing semi-transparent figure appeared in front of him, staring at him.

Immediately, the Pillar of State surnamed Li bowed slightly to the person in front of him as a gesture of respect: "General Meng!"

The figure depicted is the last Grand Pillar of State in the late Nascent Soul stage of the Qin state. Qin originally had three Grand Pillars of State: Ying Xuan, Bai Wu'an, and this General Meng. Later, Bai Wu'an disappeared, but Wang Jian broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage, so Qin still had three such pillars.

The General Li, whose surname was Zhuguo, had the best relationship with this General Meng, after all, he was the other party's old subordinate. Therefore, at this moment, he bowed and clasped his hands, with a respectful attitude, and then reported the situation here one by one.

Chapter 761 Facing Li Xinkang

"...In conclusion, due to the interference of people from the Qingyun Sect and the Dao Sect, there is a fear that things may change further. Therefore, I request that some Golden Core stage terracotta warriors and war beasts be dispatched to stabilize the situation."

He said this, his brow furrowed, his eyes filled with worry.

How could he not see that Yan Shuiyi, Su Youling, and the others were very fond of the rebel army, but quite hostile towards them?

He could tell that all of this was a delaying tactic by Dongfang Yue, allowing them to find a way to deal with him as soon as possible, while also finding a way out for themselves.

What he had to do was to suppress them with absolute power, and under no circumstances should he let any of them go!

This was his plan, but in front of him, the late-stage Nascent Soul Grand Pillar of State surnamed Meng frowned, remained silent, and was still pondering.

“Li Xinkang,” he suddenly addressed the pillar of the state by his full name, “You must know that the Zhou emperor is taking action, and the states in the east are forming an alliance to hinder the conquest of our Great Qin. Before His Majesty leaves the pass, we need to focus our efforts on defending the left flank.”

"A new war is about to break out, and this time, we will be on the defensive. So, if you want resources, I can only say that what I can give you is very limited, but..."

His voice suddenly turned stern: "Those few are only at the late Golden Core stage, so much weaker than you, and you're already there with a whole host of elite troops. Do you really think that dealing with a few opponents who haven't even reached the Nascent Soul stage requires the entire Qin Dynasty to exert all its strength?!"

He roared, his voice like thunder. Li Xinkang's body trembled violently, then he hurriedly knelt down, his body shaking: "That's not it! This humble general did not mean it! This humble general... will surely annihilate all these people here, and will not fail in my mission!"

After he made this vow and finished speaking, the Pillar of State surnamed Meng snorted coldly and slightly restrained his anger: "I know you always want to play it safe, but you can't do this. I'll tell the people over there to give you a few war beasts to control."

"But remember, you must do things cleanly and efficiently!"

Li Xinkang stood at attention and shouted, "Yes, sir!"

……

Time marches on day by day.

During this time, Su Youling stayed with Yun Chuan, helping him modify the four magic seals and passing on new spells to him.

She actually had many more questions for him, such as the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" technique. She really wanted to learn this technique from him, or at least consult him about his cultivation experience.

However, considering that the Qin general surnamed Li was watching nearby, he and his rebel army faced an even greater threat. More importantly, they were right in front of him, ready to attack and kill him at any moment.

Helpless, Su Youling had no choice but to temporarily suppress her own desire to study and focus entirely on imparting knowledge and skills to Yun Chuan, teaching him how to manipulate the four elemental techniques and maximize the power of the four magic seals. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)

At the same time, she and he were also secretly plotting and discussing a brand new plan targeting that Li family pillar.

Time flew by, and everyone worked very efficiently. In the blink of an eye, the remnants of the Ruthless Cult were almost completely wiped out.

The departing Qin army cultivators returned one by one, gathering in this secret realm and forming a massive encirclement. Li Xinkang hadn't moved an inch these past few days, keeping a close watch on them, his meaning clear: no matter how much time was wasted, he was determined to wipe them all out.

Moreover, he is a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, so he has plenty of time.

When the last Qin army cultivator who had gone to hunt down the evil forces returned to his side, this Pillar of State surnamed Li knew that the threat of evil forces had been almost completely eliminated.

Immediately, he looked at Yan Shui and the others who were still mingling with the rebels and said in a deep voice, "My friends, now that the cult has been quelled, what remains here is all internal affairs of my Qin state."

"I think your elders probably don't want to know that you all rely on the power of your sects to act recklessly and arbitrarily interfere in the internal affairs of other countries that are not even under your jurisdiction, right?"

He said coldly, his voice carrying a hint of threat. Yan Shui floated into the air, stood at the front, facing him, and had already rehearsed her lines with Dongfang Yue: "Of course not. If the remnants of the Ruthless Sect have truly been wiped out, then we will naturally leave."

She handled the situation calmly, seemingly in complete control.

Behind them, Dongfang Yue, Yun Chu'an, and Su Youling stood together. She stood in the middle, her expression tense, her tone full of worry: "Are you sure you can handle this?"

She couldn't bear to see these rebels being slaughtered, but the people Li Xinkang brought this time were too elite, with more than ten cultivators at the late Golden Core stage, and he himself was an old monster at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Even though Qin is now the undisputed hegemon of the Central Plains in the cultivation world, it only has a little over twenty Nascent Soul cultivators. Most of them are only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, and there are definitely fewer than ten at the middle stage.

Therefore, if they were to face such a figure personally leading the troops to suppress them, the rebel army's small force would be absolutely insufficient.

The only hope lies with Yun Chu'an.

Yun Chu'an nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with confidence: "Leave it to me."

In fact, normally speaking, in such a short period of time, let alone enabling a late-stage Golden Core cultivator to fight against a mid-stage Nascent Soul enemy, it would be difficult for him to even learn how to control the four magic seals.

After all, these were four completely unfamiliar magical artifacts that he had never encountered before. Even with Su Youling teaching him step by step, the time was far too short.

However, he possesses the Heavenly Spiritual Root.

This gave him a natural affinity for water, fire, wind, and thunder that was a level above many others. As a result, he mastered the four magic seals at an astonishing speed. His progress was so rapid that it left Su Youling speechless. In the end, Su Youling couldn't help but feel a little jealous. At the same time, Su Youling understood that with his talent, it was not impossible for him to learn the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" technique at the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, looking at him now, Su Youling couldn't help but smile: "Just watch and see how he shows off his skills."

Seeing that the two women were both confident, Dongfang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said no more.

Just then, Li Xinkang was putting pressure on them again. Ahead, Yan Shui glanced at them, and Dongfang Yue nodded slightly, indicating that everything was ready and it was time to let them fight it out.

So Yan Shuiyi told them that the matter of the cult had been dealt with and that they should indeed leave now, handing the place over to them.

After making this declaration, Yan Shuiyi, Dongfang Yue, and Su Youling left, floating into the air, seemingly intending to remain neutral and not interfere in the affairs of this place.

But the three of them didn't leave; instead, they watched on. Li Xinkang looked at the three women and knew perfectly well from the beginning that they were intentionally favoring the rebel cultivators.

He was furious and intended to execute these people, but now that the righteous people were watching, he had no good options.

Suppressing his bad mood, he immediately growled, "Kill! Those who surrender will not be killed!"

He made a show of leaving that sentence, and then he took the lead, rushing forward, drawing his long sword, and charging towards Yun Chu'an and the others.

He took the lead, but this time, he didn't overestimate his abilities and use his sword light to attack, because he knew Yun Chuan'an's strength and that he was not the same person he had been before, whose spiritual energy reserves were almost completely depleted.

At this moment, he possessed formidable strength, a powerful enemy capable of defeating an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Therefore, Li Xinkang dared not be careless and chose to close the distance first, then thrust his sword at him—

A vast amount of spiritual energy gathered on the blade of his sword, even emitting a piercing buzz. Wherever the sword struck, even space itself seemed to be torn apart, revealing pitch-black rifts.

The power of this sword strike was so immense that it was tearing apart the space of this secret realm, adding another irreversible and devastating blow to this already crumbling space that had existed for thousands of years.

This is an absolutely fatal blow that a Golden Core cultivator could not withstand!

In the distance, Dongfang Yue, who was watching the battle, opened her mouth slightly, her heart in her throat, genuinely worried for Yun Chu'an.

Chapter 762 will win!

Then, Dongfang Yue saw Yun Chuan's body almost turn into a series of afterimages, making her eyes blur before she dodged. At the same time, she swung her Guan Dao and slashed at Li Xinkang's body.

Golden lightning flashed across his body as he engaged in a fierce and relentless battle with his opponent.

She paused for a moment, looking puzzled. Then she turned to look at her senior sister, only to see her eyes light up, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "What amazing movement technique!"

Dongfang Yue couldn't see clearly, but Yan Shuiyi saw it all perfectly. Yun Chu'an's leap was so exquisite, the coordination and manipulation of his muscles, spiritual power, and the surrounding elements were so remarkable that it gave Yan Shuiyi a wonderfully surprising feeling.

Looking at him, she couldn't help but make a bold judgment: with just this one move, Yun Chu'an could fight this mid-stage Nascent Soul guy for a long time with ease!

As she had predicted, the battle quickly reached a stalemate. Although Li Xinkang was more skilled and stronger, and his every move seemed to tear through space, Yun Chu'an's movements were as slippery as an eel. It seemed that Li Xinkang had caught his trail, but he just couldn't actually hit his body.

Yun Chu'an fought and retreated, his purple-gold soft armor shielding him from most of the aftershocks of the battle. Golden lightning crackled across his body, so his body was not harmed at all. Instead, Li Xinkang's hands went numb from the shock, and he could barely hold his weapon!

Anger involuntarily welled up in his heart. He looked at the young man before him, knowing that he was a major enemy of Qin, who had repeatedly caused them enormous trouble on the Qin-Zhao battlefield.

Unexpectedly, even when faced with the suppression of his own mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, he was still able to perform so... with ease!

Li Xinkang was furious, but he wasn't without other means.

As a leader, he also had reliable and trusted subordinates!
