Chapter 225
"Brother Xiaoyao, don't worry too much. I believe that my uncle and the others will be fine." Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao was a little anxious, Aniu comforted him.
Ren Xiaoyao sighed softly and said, "It's the only way. Ah Niu, you stay here with me. If anything happens, tell me in time."
Ah Niu nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Xiaoyao. Just go ahead and practice."
Ren Xiaoyao was worried about his fellow apprentices, so he quickly refined a few furnaces of Juyuan Pills and wanted to go find his uncle and his uncles. Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao was uneasy, Ah Niu comforted him, "Brother Xiaoyao, don't be too anxious. The uncles and their uncles are quite capable, so there won't be any danger. You might as well wait a little longer, maybe they will be back soon."
Ren Xiaoyao also knew that what Ah Niu said made sense, but he was still a little worried. He thought about it and swallowed the three Ju Yuan Pills. These three pills were given to him by Hong An. Although they were not extremely precious, they were also top-grade pills. After taking one, he felt warm all over, and a warm current rose from his abdomen and instantly flowed through his body.
This warm current seemed to contain a huge amount of power, which greatly widened his meridians. He felt that his whole body was full of power, and he couldn't help but let out a long howl. Before the howl stopped, his figure flashed and he had already swept several feet away.
"Brother Xiaoyao!" Ah Niu shouted in surprise and joy.
Ren Xiaoyao paused, and after a few rises and falls, he was already standing in front of Ah Niu. He looked at Ah Niu with a smile and said, "Ah Niu, I have now broken through to the fourth level of the acquired realm. When I refine some more Ju Yuan Dan, I can break through to the fifth level of the acquired realm."
Ah Niu was also happy for Ren Xiaoyao and said, "Brother Xiaoyao, you are really amazing! However, you have to be careful not to be too eager for quick success and take steady steps."
Ren Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Of course I know that. By the way, Ah Niu, you have nothing to do right now, why don't you come with me to find Master Uncle and the others."
Ah Niu didn't want to cause trouble for Ren Xiaoyao, but seeing that Ren Xiaoyao thought so highly of him, he stopped refusing and nodded, "Okay, Brother Xiaoyao. Then I'll go with you."
Ren Xiaoyao led Ah Niu all the way north, looking for the traces of Baimei Heying and others. On the way, he kept circulating his true energy to absorb all the effects of the three Juyuan Pills. As his true energy continued to grow, his cultivation also quietly increased.
Two days later, Ren Xiaoyao had come to the place where they had parted ways with Baimei Heying and the others. At this time, the place had become dilapidated, with burnt trees and rocks everywhere. Standing there, Ren Xiaoyao couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Brother Xiaoyao, look there!" Ah Niu pointed to a forest in the distance.
Ren Xiaoyao looked in the direction of Ah Niu's finger and saw a figure flashing in the woods in the distance. He knew something was wrong and immediately rushed away with Ah Niu.
As they approached the woods, they heard a cough. Ren Xiaoyao and Aniu looked at each other and knew that Baimei Heying and his men had returned. They hurried over and saw Baimei Heying leaning against a tree, his face extremely pale.
"Uncle-master, what's wrong with you?" Ren Xiaoyao asked in surprise.
Baimei Heying smiled bitterly and said, "We were ambushed. Fortunately, you arrived in time."
Ah Niu asked worriedly, "Uncle Master, are you seriously injured? Do you need me to find a doctor right away?"
Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly said, "Aniu, go pick some herbs quickly, I'll take care of my uncle."
Ah Niu nodded and immediately took action. He found a lot of herbs in the woods and quickly collected a bunch. Ren Xiaoyao helped Baimei Heying up and let him lean against a tree. He took the herbs, used the power of true energy to catalyze the effect of the medicine, and then applied the medicine to Baimei Heying's wound.
Baimei Heying was seriously injured. He had several wounds, especially a sword wound that was so deep that the bone was visible. Fortunately, he had taken a Juyuan Pill, and Ren Xiaoyao used his true energy to heal him, so his wounds healed at an astonishing speed.
Half an hour later, Baimei Heying was able to speak. He looked at Ren Xiaoyao and said, "Ren Xiaoyao, if you hadn't arrived in time this time, we would have been in danger."
Ren Xiaoyao asked: "Uncle Master, what kind of ambush did you encounter? Are those men in black very powerful?"
Bai Mei He Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Those men in black are desperate criminals, and they all carry deadly poison. We didn't notice them at first, and ended up falling for them. Especially the leader, he was very powerful, Huang Nian, Li Changchun and I were defeated by him even when we joined forces."
Ren Xiaoyao's heart trembled, and he asked, "Then how did you escape?"
Baimei Heying said, "Just when we were about to run out of strength, we suddenly heard the sound of a flute. The black-clothed man leading the group seemed to be frightened after hearing the flute, and immediately fled with the other black-clothed men."
Ren Xiaoyao guessed: "Could it be that Wushuang girl who saved us?"
Baimei Heying shook his head and said, "It's not her. If I'm guessing correctly, it should be the elders of Qingyang Palace who have arrived."
Ren Xiaoyao asked doubtfully: "The elders of Qingyang Palace? Why would they save us?"
Baimei Heying said in a deep voice: "The elders of Qingyang Palace will naturally not save us for no reason. I guess they want to use the power of us and Miss Wushuang to eliminate those men in black."
Ren Xiaoyao's mind moved, and he said, "Uncle Master, do you mean that those men in black are the enemies of Qingyang Palace?"
Baimei Heying nodded and said, "That's right. Those men in black should be an evil force lurking near Qingyang Palace. They want to overthrow the rule of Qingyang Palace. If the elders of Qingyang Palace hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid we would have died at the hands of those men in black."
Ren Xiaoyao felt a little scared. He looked at the white-browed crane and said, "Uncle Master, what do you think of the strength of that evil force?"
Baimei Heying sighed and said, "It's hard to say. Judging from the strength of those men in black, their strength should be no less than any of our sects. If the power of Qingyang Palace is added, even the royal family of the Daqian Dynasty will have to give them a wide berth."
Ren Xiaoyao felt a little irritated. He didn't want to get out of the dragon's den and into the tiger's den again, so he said, "Uncle Master, what should we do now? Let's leave here quickly."
Baimei Heying nodded and said, "Okay. We have been delayed here for several days, and we must rush to Feilong City as soon as possible. But before that, I want to refine a few more furnaces of recovery pills. My injuries have not fully recovered, and I need to use recovery pills to consolidate them."
Ren Xiaoyao knew that although Baimei Heying was seriously injured, it was very rare for him to recover to this extent in such a short time. He immediately activated his true energy to help Baimei Heying refine the recovery pill.
Half an hour later, Baimei Heying had already taken a recovery pill. His wounds had almost healed, and his face had become rosy. He stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help, Ren Xiaoyao. Now let's get out of here quickly."
Ren Xiaoyao and Aniu also took the recovery pills one after another. They rushed all the way south.
The three of them sped along the way. Baimei Heying and Ren Xiaoyao had both recovered from their internal injuries. Although Ah Niu was a little tired, he quickly regained his spirits after taking the recovery pill.
They also encountered many wild beasts and evil spirits on the road, but under Ren Xiaoyao's true energy and Baimei Heying's swordsmanship, all of them turned into nothing. Ah Niu was a little frightened at first, but seeing that Ren Xiaoyao and Baimei Heying were calm, he gradually calmed down.
After ten days of traveling, they were less than two hundred miles away from Feilong City. One day, they finally arrived at a prosperous town.
The streets here are wide and clean, with shops lining both sides, selling all kinds of goods. Ren Xiaoyao and the others saw that it was getting late, so they decided to find a place in the town to rest for the night.
They found a rather grand inn in the town. Ren Xiaoyao was observing the environment around the inn when Baimei Heying strode into the inn.
The guests in the inn saw that Baimei Heying was tall and majestic, Ren Xiaoyao was handsome and unrestrained, and although Ah Niu was a little honest, he was strong and trustworthy, so they all gave up their seats for them.
Ren Xiaoyao was even more respectful of Baimei Heying when he saw that he was still so majestic even after being seriously injured. They chose a larger table to sit down at, and then ordered some wine and food.
Baimei Heying asked, "Ren Xiaoyao, what are your plans?"
Ren Xiaoyao was stunned and said, "Uncle Master, what you mean is..."
Baimei Heying said: "I mean, what are your plans for the future? Do you want to continue to stay in the sect, or do you want to leave?"
Ren Xiaoyao did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said hesitantly: "Uncle Master, I have been practicing in the sect for so many years and have never left the sect. The reason why I want to go out and explore is because I want to see the outside world."
Baimei Heying nodded slightly and said, "If that's the case, then you can go out and take a look. But you must remember that no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must put the sect first. If there is anything you need help from the sect, just come back and find me."
Ren Xiaoyao was touched and said, "Thank you, uncle-master."
At this time, an old man with wrinkles on his face came over. He bowed to Ren Xiaoyao and Baimei Heying and said, "This young man looks unfamiliar. May I ask your name?"
Ren Xiaoyao saw that although the old man did not look impressive, he must be a person of some status to be able to appear in the inn in this town, so he bowed and said, "Junior Ren Xiaoyao, a disciple of Fengxue Sect. My uncle and I are new here, so please take care of us."
The old man showed a trace of surprise on his face, and said, "So you are disciples of Fengxue Sect. I am lucky enough to drink with two influential figures in the same place. It is really a great honor."
Ren Xiaoyao smiled and said, "You are too kind, old man. May I ask your name?"
The old man said: "My surname is Zhao, and my name is Bufan."
Ren Xiaoyao said, "I wonder if Mr. Zhao knows anyone in this town? If so, please introduce them to someone. We two brothers are new here and would like to stay in this town for a few more days."
Zhao Bufan said, "Of course. I have some connections with the Mu family in this town. If you two young men don't mind, you can go to the Mu family as a guest."
Ren Xiaoyao said, "That's great. Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for the introduction."
The three of them drank and chatted, and before they knew it, it was already the second watch. Suddenly, a loud "boom" sounded from outside.
The three of them were stunned, and then stood up together. Ah Niu whispered, "It seems to be coming from outside the inn."
Ren Xiaoyao nodded, signaled to Baimei Heying and Aniu, asking them not to move in the inn, and he quickly walked out of the inn.
There was already chaos outside the inn, with screams everywhere. Ren Xiaoyao used his Qinggong to rush towards the place where the sound came from.
This is a small road that leads directly out of the town. A lot of people have gathered on the road. Ren Xiaoyao pushed through the crowd and saw a body lying on the ground. Judging from the clothes, it should be a resident of this town.
Ren Xiaoyao saw the fear on the faces of the people around him, so he asked, "Brother, what happened?"
Someone nearby said, "I don't know either. I just heard a loud noise and saw this person lying on the ground, dead."
Ren Xiaoyao was confused when he saw people around him talking and chatting. He was about to turn around and leave when suddenly a cold voice came from the darkness in the distance: "Ren Xiaoyao!"
