216: Chapter 206 216: Chapter 206 The avatar in Jiang Tang’s mind communicated with him directly, speaking in a childlike voice and expressing thoughts that were one with Jiang’s.
“Jiang Tang, thank you.”
“Thank you”
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin, upon learning that it was Jiang Tang who had saved them, were overwhelmed with surprise and gratitude.
They had always known that Jiang Tang was more powerful than them, and now he had not only provided them with pills but was also protecting them.
“Now is not the time to thank me.
First, we need to leave this place quickly.
We can’t let these people follow you back to your families, or else your families will be in danger too,” Jiang Tang realized that the Great Power Holder tracking the two men was stronger than he was.
For the sake of the pills, those people were willing to kill and rob without respecting even an old lady’s dignity, hoping to make their move in the desolate regions of the Cultivation World without anyone being the wiser.
The fact that even a Great Power Holder would engage in such sneaky behavior demonstrated that not all powerful individuals are gentlemen.
Jiang Tang considered himself fortunate that his spiritual power was stronger than theirs, allowing him to remain undetected, while he was aware of their whereabouts.
Lai Jianlin and Luo Yaxuan had no choice but to nod.
They felt as if a formidable force was carrying them, shooting through the sky like meteors.
Jiang Tang harnessed the power of nature, clapping his hands in the air filled with spiritual energy, frantically drawing upon the power of the natural world to create a barrier of light that blocked the mental forces of the trackers.
He directly isolated those who were pursuing them, making them lose their way.
On this occasion, Jiang Tang’s only intention was to save the others, and he had no thought of confronting the enemy.
A single person, no matter how powerful, could not withstand an onslaught from many.
However, he did not want anyone to know that he had saved the two men and made enemies of those Great Power Holders.
After all, the avatar that had come to rescue them was connected to his thoughts, but it did not have a space of its own or pets in that space to help.
Simply letting fate guide him, the avatar’s hands fluttered like a pair of little wings, flying through the sky like a meteor.
Jiang Tang was also able to determine the direction to Luo Yaxuan’s home from his mind, carrying the two men, who were much larger than him, and protecting them above his avatar.
They soon arrived at Immortal Lord City, where he gently set down Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin.
After such rapid flying, Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin had no idea they had already arrived.
As their heads cleared, they realized the force that had been carrying them was gone, and looking down, they recognized Immortal Lord City, the residence of their families that they hadn’t returned to for many years.
“Alright, I’ve brought you here.
I hope you can grow stronger and then go back.
My task is completed.
Goodbye,” spoke the childlike voice of Jiang Tang as it disappeared into the space where it once hovered.
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin hadn’t even had the chance to thank him, let alone invite their rescuer to sit at their home.
“Brother Luo, why does Jiang Tang have such a youthful voice?” Lai Jianlin couldn’t help but voice the doubt that had been on his mind.
“Lai Jianlin, haven’t you heard that powerful people can have avatars?” Luo Yaxuan had heard a few things from his master.
“Jiang Tang has an avatar?
No wonder he is so formidable, able to refine such high-quality pills by himself.
We are still too weak,” Lai Jianlin said with envy and admiration.
“Lai Jianlin, let’s head back to our family first, strengthen ourselves.
We too will have avatars in the future,” suggested Luo Yaxuan, spotting their home not far off.
“Alright, see you again, Luo Yaxuan.” Lai Jianlin lived somewhat further from home, and now he still had a distance to go before he reached home.
“See you, we will go back to Immortal Venerable City together when the time comes.”
“Yes, we will see how things are at that time.
If the Immortal Sect needs me to return to Immortal Venerable City first, we will go back together, but if I have to return to the Immortal Sect, then we will take different routes.”
“Okay, we’ll decide based on the situation.” Luo Yaxuan bowed with his hands clasped and descended.
His home was not far from Immortal Lord City.
Seeing the home he had not returned to for five years, his longing for his family surged with urgency.
“Who goes there?” Each family had formations in place to prevent foreign enemies from invading.
Discovering someone descending from the sky, the family guards became alert and looked up.
“It’s me…”
The guards recognized Luo Yaxuan’s voice.
Although they hadn’t seen their heir for five years, they had been constantly hearing news of him.
Every person had a Message Transmitting Device in their hands, and many elites practiced with Secret Manuals brought back by the heir.
All of this was thanks to the heir’s efforts.
“The heir is back…” Someone shouted, and as the voice spread, all of the Luo Family’s Message Transmitting Devices lit up, broadcasting the news, and the entire family knew that Luo Yaxuan had come home.
“Hahaha, my son has returned.”
Before Luo Yaxuan reached the entrance of the Council Hall, the Family Head Luo Sheng and the family’s Elders had already come out, laughing joyously as they welcomed Luo Yaxuan.
All the highest-ranking members knew that Luo Yaxuan had returned with a mission.
Seeing him return safely, the Family Head and the Elders were extremely happy, but another reason for their inner excitement was the possibility of becoming stronger.
“Father, Elders, I’m back.
It was really dangerous this time!
I will tell you about it once we’re inside.”
“What?
You encountered danger!
Are you hurt?” Luo Sheng’s mood tightened; he regretted not sending someone to ensure his son’s safe return with such an important task.
If the Pills had been stolen, it would have been a significant loss for them.
“Luckily, I was saved by a friend.
This time Lai Jianlin came back with me, too.
We encountered great danger, Father.
Thankfully, someone helped, or else your son might not have been able to return to see you all.”
Luo Yaxuan sat down in the Council Hall and took a sip of tea, feeling a sense of fortunate survival after the ordeal, accompanied by a wave of relief and fear.
“Son, do you know who tried to kill and rob you?”
Luo Sheng and the Elders exchanged looks, feeling that their own strength was still too weak to protect their descendants from dangers and tracking.
“I don’t know, I only know they had very strong spiritual power.
They tracked us using spiritual power and never revealed their physical forms.”
Luo Yaxuan felt that this experience had shown him that within the strong there is always someone stronger.
“How strong were they?
And who rescued you in the end?” Luo Sheng sighed.
Their so-called first-rate family might be insignificant in the eyes of those Great Power Holders who wouldn’t give them a second glance, allowing them to survive.
Just as they, being cultivators, would allow mortals a chance at life, without monopolizing the entire Cultivation World.
“That Jiang Tang who sold us the Pills.
I don’t know how strong he is, but I know that the one who came to rescue us wasn’t his real self but an Avatar.
He dropped us off here and then left.” Luo Yaxuan simply shared his feelings about the incident, knowing that this escape was more than a few words could convey.
“A Great Power Holder, he used Puppets to rescue you.
No wonder he didn’t stay here; maybe he looks down on this place, or perhaps he’s just too busy.
But if someone can save others, we must definitely try to befriend him if possible,” Luo Sheng’s comment made the Elders nod in agreement.
