Lin Yi was surprised and slightly disappointed.
He knew that Lu Changan was making excuses, and time was not that tight at all.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is not free, so let's give up."
Zhang Tieshan's expression returned to normal and he did not force anything.
Since time was tight, Lu Changan took the opportunity to say goodbye.
Li Ergou walked smoothly all the way.
"Brother Lu, are you also afraid of ghosts?"
After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Li Ergou breathed a sigh of relief and looked sympathetic to each other.
"well enough."
Lu Changan didn't take seriously the evil ghosts in the world.
"I refused so quickly, I don't believe it!"
Li Ergou chuckled, thinking that Lu Changan was just like him.
The difference between the two is.
One is really afraid; the other is really stubborn.
…
On the official road, the two of them galloped towards Feiyue Villa.
Seeing that there is still one day to go to Feiyue Lake.
"Wait!"
When they reached a canyon, Lu Changan raised his hand and stopped his horse.
"What's wrong, Brother Lu?"
Li Ergou misses his wife and children in the clan, and his heart is like an arrow.
"If you take the right path, this is the only place you must pass back to Feiyue Lake. The terrain is difficult and suitable for an ambush."
Lu Changan remembered that he passed by here for the first time three years ago. The head of the Mu family carefully inspected it, and it turned out that nothing happened.
"You mean, there's an ambush here?"
Li Ergou's heart suddenly turned pale as he remembered the interception and killing of the Zheng family three years ago.
In that interception, four young men died, which almost left a shadow in Li Ergou's heart.
"Not sure." Lu Changan closed his eyes slightly.
The divine consciousness is integrated into the [Nine-Seal Monument] in the mind.
Compared to three years ago.
The "Qing handsome man" printed in the first frame of the Nine-Seal Monument is no longer the gloomy "Shou Xiang", but actually outlines the light and is vivid.
This is the result of three years of soul nourishment by Lu Changan.
The "white-bearded old man" printed on the second frame, which represents the figure at the peak of elixir formation in the previous life, is still dead and unlit.
"What should we do?"
Li Ergou felt a little panicked, always feeling that the Zheng family's interceptors were lurking in the canyon.
"To be on the safe side, take a detour!"
Lu Changan opened his eyes and turned the horse's head without hesitation.
"Brother Lu has won my heart deeply."
Li Ergou laughed heartily and turned around with Lu Changan.
…
"What's going on! Those two boys suddenly turned back?"
At this time, several monks hidden on both sides of the canyon looked at each other.
"Don't worry about it! Anyway, there are only two in the early stage of Qi refining, kill them head on, and avenge Yan'er!"
An ugly woman with an evil look on her face, her teeth chattering loudly.
If Lu Changan were here, he would definitely recognize this ugly woman as the fourth-level Qi Refining woman who had fought with him when he intercepted the immortal seedlings.
"Xiao Feng, are you sure it's that boy?"
Among them, the round-faced middle-aged man with the highest cultivation level of the sixth level of qi training asked.
"Brother! I know he was the one who killed Yan'er and turned into ashes!"
The ugly woman's eyes were bloodshot and her heart was on fire.
Without waiting for orders, he directly controlled a bronze bell and chased it through the air.
The flying speed of the imperial weapon during the Qi refining stage is not very fast.
But the ugly woman's mana was injected crazily, the bronze bell under her feet buzzed, and her explosive speed in a short period of time actually caught up with Lu Changan and the other two.
"Brother Lu, she's catching up!"
As if facing a formidable enemy, Li Ergou sacrificed a low-grade magic weapon.
"Don't panic, she is a target in the sky."
Lu Changan looked calm.
He knew very well how weak the monks in the early and middle stages of Qi refining were in aerial combat.
The first is the limitation of magic weapons.
Generally, in the early stage of Qi refining, due to the limitations of mana and spiritual consciousness, one can only control one low-grade magic weapon.
In the middle stage of Qi refining, one can control two low-grade magical instruments, or one medium-grade magical instrument.
Take the ugly woman at the fourth level of Qi Refining as an example.
She had to share more than half of her energy to maintain the flight of a magic weapon, not to mention accelerating the explosion.
In this case, how much strength can still be exerted?
…
Puffy!
Lu Changan threw out three fire bombs with his backhand, hitting the ugly woman in the air. She was so embarrassed that she almost fell from the air.
How could he have the ability to pursue him in the air?
The Qi refining period itself does not have the ability to fly, and mainly relies on magic weapons. Its flight flexibility can be imagined.
Only in the later stage of Qi refining can one have a certain degree of aerial combat capability.
"Haha! No wonder it's a target."
Li Ergou suddenly understood and plucked up the courage to fire back the two fire bombs. But his speed and accuracy were far inferior to Lu Changan's, and he was avoided by the ugly woman.
"Xiaofeng, don't worry! We'll chase you on horseback."
At this time, a round-faced middle-aged man from the sixth level of Qi Refining came over on horseback with two mid-level Qi Refining Levelers.
He has rich experience and knows the useless aerial combat ability in the middle stage of Qi refining.
"Don't worry, our spirit horses have been trained by the 'Zhou Family of Beast Controllers', and their speed and endurance are top-notch."
The round-faced middle-aged man is full of confidence.
Sure enough, the distance between the two sides is getting closer.
"Little thief! Watch where you run!"
The ugly woman stared at Lu Changan with resentful and cold eyes.
Riding a horse does not consume mana and consciousness.
As long as they get closer, they can use spells and magic weapons to kill them remotely.
"Brother Lu, what should I do?"
Li Ergou said anxiously.
The pursuers behind him are all in the middle stage of Qi refining, and once they get close, they will die.
"Ergou, please tighten your arms a little later."
Lu Changan ordered.
"Clamp it tighter? How long has it been and you still drive like this..."
Li Ergou didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The words have not yet finished.
Two green talismans popped out of Lu Changan's hand and landed on the belly of the spirit horse where he and Ergou were sitting.
Instantly!
The wind blew under the feet of the two spirit colts. They felt light all over and their speed surged!
"So fast!"
Li Ergou leaned forward, almost flying out, and clamped the horse's belly tightly.
Da da! Da da!
On the official road, two spirit horses galloped like lightning, raising a cloud of dust and smoke.
…
"So fast?" The ugly woman and the round-faced middle-aged people couldn't help but be stunned.
"That boy used a talisman!"
They also have acceleration talismans, such as the first-level low-grade wind talisman.
"Don't be stingy, the expenses are mine."
The round-faced middle-aged man makes a quick decision.
The four people in the group all used acceleration charms and stuck them on the horse's belly.
The round-faced middle-aged man and the ugly woman each used a mid-grade wind speed talisman, which was faster.
But even so.
The distance between Lu Changan and them was still getting farther and farther away.
"Why can't you catch up?"
The round-faced middle-aged man was surprised and couldn't figure it out.
He confirmed that the accelerating talismans used by Lu Changan and the two were at most mid-grade.
Their spirit horses are of better quality and should be faster.
"Junior! Do you dare to dismount and fight?"
Seeing that he couldn't catch up, the middle-aged man with a round face at the sixth level of Qi Lian became anxious and shouted angrily.
"Your horses are not as fast as ours. Even if you are highly skilled, what can you do to me?"
Lu Changan responded leisurely, making the ugly woman and others behind him furious, and they could only continue to curse.
Not long after.
The curses became quieter and quieter, and the ugly woman and others were no longer visible on the road chasing her.
"Brother Lu, this move is really powerful!"
Li Ergou looked excited, and the pursuers behind him couldn't even catch the dust.
Full sense of security!
Li Ergou couldn't help but ponder: "If our horses run fast enough, won't even the ancestors of Jindan and Yuanying Zhenjun be able to do anything to us?"
"Hey! You actually know how to draw inferences from one instance to other cases, you can teach me!"
Lu Changan couldn't help but approve.
…
Two days later.
Lu Changan and the others abandoned their horses, walked around the wilderness, and hurried back to Feiyue Villa.
After returning to the clan, he immediately reported to his family.
This incident alarmed the top brass of the Mu family.
The head of the family, Mu Maode, personally asked Lu Changan and the two of them.
The final conclusion is: vendetta!
Mumud secretly appreciated Lu Changan's dexterity in seeing through the ambush.
Lu Changan also thought it was a vendetta.
From Mumud, he learned the identity of the ugly woman and others.
The ugly woman's name is Zheng Feng.
The third-level Qi refining monk named Zheng Yan who Lu Changan once killed was the other party's illegitimate son.
A round-faced middle-aged man with a sixth level of qi training, his name is Zheng Dong. He is the brother of the ugly woman Zheng Feng, and he is considered a young monk of the Zheng family.
"Zheng Feng...Zheng Dong..."
Lu Changan silently wrote it down in his notebook and looked for opportunities to take revenge in the future.
Granted, he paid a price and now has a chance for revenge.
But it's only 70% sure, and it's easy to be exposed.
No need to take risks.
Wait until one day, when you can crush the opponent to death like an ant, then attack and kill them without anyone noticing.
Lu Changan does not pursue killing enemies by leaping through ranks, but prefers to crush them steadily.
After Lu Changan and the others left.
The head of the family, Mu Mao, gradually became gloomy.
"How did the Zheng family get the information about Lu Changan's outing and the time of his return?"
…
"As a cultivating force, it's normal for the Mu family to have a mole. Try to go out as little as possible in the future."
Returning to his residence in the other courtyard, Lu Changan fell into thinking.
"Let's think about the present! I have a five-year agreement with the Mu family leader. After five years, we must marry a wife and have children."
Normally, he would be re-cultivating in the alchemy stage and would be able to reach at least the middle stage of Qi refining in five years.
But plans can't keep up with changes.
He did not expect that the "Eternal Green Technique of Ancient Trees" was so special that it needed to absorb the energy of time, resulting in such a gradual progression.
This offset the advantage of his reconstruction.
Moreover, the wood-based skills he practices are only comparable to low-grade spiritual roots.
As a result, for more than three years, his cultivation was still at the second level of Qi refining.
"Now that I have the aid of elixirs, I should be able to speed up the progress..."
Lu Changan took a Qi-nourishing pill and closed his eyes to practice.
