The Founder of Qi Cultivation, Reincarnates?

This was the second time Ling Tian tried to cripple Yang Su’s dantian and Xi Shen stepped in.

However, Xi Shen was extremely angrier this time because if he hadn’t moved before Ling Tian lifted his finger with his spectral steps, or he wasn’t this close to Yang Su, he would have had to watch as Yang Su’s Dao Foundation got destroyed.

'This bastard Ling Tian has no idea what he could have done. Yang Su’s Six Elemental Qi Dao Foundation is more precious than every part of him. If his so-called Sword Constitution was compared to it, it would not even be worth one-tenth of Yang Su’s Dao Foundation. And here he was casually trying to destroy what I had so painstakingly created, bastard.'

Xi Shen had half a mind to teach this arrogant brat some manners, but thinking about the results after he used his Heavenly Laws, and looking at the current circumstances he chose not to.

After seeing that his Sword Qi was stopped, Ling Tian’s eyes landed on Xi Shen and he sneered in contempt.

Ling Tian’s hand created a shadow as he wave his hand towards Xi Shen. A loud slap rang out before Xi Shen was sent rolling some meters away.

“Elder brother!!”

Yang Su shouted and rushed to Xi Shen in a hurry.

Meanwhile, Ling Tian suddenly lifted his hand and stopped the sword Fei Yin was slicing towards his neck. His other hand caught Fang Chen’s sword that was aiming for his abdomen as well.

Both youths' expression was filled with unconcealed rage.

Ling Tian snorted and pinched the two swords.

Two loud bangs echoed out as the two Low-grade Spirit Weapon Artifact exploded, sending both Fei Yin and Fang Chen flying backwards. After coming to a stop, Fei Yin spat out a mouth full of blood as his wounds weren’t fully healed yet.

Fang Chen was slightly better off and only wiped away the blood at the corner of his lips.

Bai Xiaofung was only looking on not knowing what to do.

Xi Shen sat up, and with a hand clutching at his left cheek, his expression looked slacked as he stared a Ling Tian.

Seeing Xi Shen’s expression, Ling Tian said, “What? You think I wouldn’t dare lay a hand on you because you're the second prince? Your status might scare some people but it has no effect on someone like me. You're like any other disciple in my eyes, no, in fact, you're even more worthless without the ability to cultivate. As for your Li Royal Family, you can go and tattle on me, but I know how they operate. They won’t interfere with the happenings of the younger members of their family unless it’s a life and death situation, or someone of the older generation gets involved. Your brother got the same treatment, and even when we battled to the point of exchanging deadly blows, the Li Clan still stuck to their rule. If your brother who is the Crown Prince gets such a treatment, then a disgrace like you is basically walking around without protection.”

Listening to Ling Tian’s words, Xi Shen had indeed known that was the case with his family. And this was done to temper the younger members of the Li Clan and not have them rely on the family’s strength to get by and ended up being spoiled rotten.

It was similar to when a mother bird would push their younglings out of the nest to make them learn to fly on their own. Though in this case, it was a controlled environment, as the Li Clan would step in if someone from the senior generation makes a move.

But with all of that said, Ling Tian was absolutely wrong. At this moment, Xi Shen was using all of his willpower to restrain himself from doing something he’ll regret.

After saying those words, Ling Tian turned to Yang Su and said, “And you, I should just cripple your foundation for touching my little sister.”

Ling Tian went to point his finger in Yang Su's direction again, but Ling Xia immediately spoke up

“No! I’ll leave with you, so leave him be.”

Ling Tian after a moment dropped his hand, and after giving Yang Su a cold glance and saying, “You stay away from my little sister," his figure then dissipated into Sword Aura before it engulf Ling Xia and teleported away.

It was then that everyone realized that he was just a mere clone formed from Sword Aura.

Yang Su watched as Ling Xia left, and he saw her give him an apologetic look before she disappeared.

Yang Su’s expression became downcast. Fang Chen came up to his side and patted his back before saying, “It’s okay, there are other fishes in the sea who don't have an overprotective older brother.”

Yang Su wasn’t sure what Fang Chen meant by that, but he figure he was trying to comfort him and he was grateful.

“Thanks, junior brother Chen.”

Fang Chen’s face stiffen when he heard Yang Su calling him junior brother. He then turn to Fei Yin with a questioning gaze, but Fei Yin only shrugged his shoulder before he closed his eyes and went o heal his aggravated injuries.

“Brother Xi Shen, are you okay?”

Bai Xiaofung who was still controlling the boat asked from his position.

Xi Shen nonchalantly waved his hands and said, “It’s fine, let’s just forget about the events just now and focus on the matter at hand. We still have to retrieve Fei Yin’s family from your Clan.”

'And I still have to find that pill furnace.'

Everyone nodded in agreement, and like that they continued to head for the Bai Clan.

It took them quite a while to travel to reach their destination, but the sun was still at its highest point in the sky when they made it to the front gates of the Bai Clan.

Yang Su was marveling at the scenery while they were heading there, and was stunned to see familiar mountains in the distance where his village was located.

Xi Shen had agreed for them to head to his village, but only after they retrieve Fei Yin’s family first.

Bai Xiaofung didn’t slow his boat down as he came upon the entrance of his Clan.

The guards who were at the massive gate entrance saw the thirty-meter flying boat showing no signs of stopping and they became enraged.

“Halt!! This is the territory of the Bai Clan, what do you think you're doing barging in here?!! Are you looking for death?!!”

As that shout thundered out, several of them rose into the air -showing they had long reached the peak of the Foundation Realm- to confront the rude intruder. But Bai Xiaofung suddenly snorted before bellowing out, “Get out of my way!! Can’t you idiots recognize your young master?!! What’s wrong with the lot of you?! Scram!!”

The guards' in the air expressions changed while their faces drained of blood when they heard that high-pitch girly voice and the words they uttered. They immediately move out of the way of the boat, not willing to come near it.

As the boat passed unimpeded into the Bai Clan's territory, Yang Su and Fang Chen had confused looks on their face when they saw the guard’s look of horror as they passed.

Watching the boat heading into the Bai Clan, one of the gate guards couldn’t help but say, “W-why is the young master back? Didn’t he go to the Celestial Academy? Didn’t the Clan Patriarch finally get rid of him? Why did he return?!!”

That guard looked like he was going to break down in tears at the thought of Bai Xiaofung’s return.

Thinking back on all the disasters the Clan had suffered through because of him, they felt cold shivers down their spines.

“I hope the Clan Patriarch stops him from concocting any pills.” Another guard said.

“I don’t think young master came back for a simple visit.”

All the guards turn to look at their compatriot when they heard that.

“What makes you say that?”

Hearing that question, the guard promptly asked, “Didn’t you guys recognize the second prince on the boat when it passed?”

All the guards' eyes widen when they heard the mention of the second prince.

“Why would the second prince come to our Bai Clan?”

“I’m not too sure about the details, but it must probably be related to the rumors about one of Bai Zhou’s grandkids dying in the Celestial Academy.”

“Oh yeah, I heard elder Zhou created a ruckus in the Clan when he heard the news. And it was his second grandson as well. He was always doting on him because of his talents, and was even grooming him to take over their Side Branch of the Family.”

That guard then shook his head and said again, “I don’t know which poor soul had the guts to kill one of our Bai Clan members. Not only Bai Zhou, but even the Head Elders of the main branch are also upset. That kid is probably a dead man walking.”

Those last words hung in the air between the guards, as the boat became a small dot in the distance.

Even though the Bai Clan’s front gates were here, the actual Clan itself was spread over several hundred thousand acres of land. So Xi Shen and the rest flew over a few mountains before they could see signs of any building.

They came upon several Pavilions that were used to welcome guests, and it was here that Bai Xiaofung landed the boat.
