Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 295 - 161: General Wei’s Promotion, Kidnapping Liu Ruyan

Chapter 295: Chapter 161: General Wei’s Promotion, Kidnapping Liu Ruyan

The esteemed daughter of the Liu Clan, Liu Ruyan, is leaving Chifeng Prefecture, and people from the Sword Casting Manor are escorting her for thirty miles to show their respect for the Liu Clan.

In such a chaotic world, a bit of goodwill from any major power might be something that can save one’s life in the future.

In the pavilion, the eldest daughter of the Sword Casting Manor, Xie Lingling, looked at Liu Ruyan with reluctance, "Sister Ruyan, will you come back in the future?"

Liu Ruyan came to Sword Casting Manor with a purpose. The manor’s weapon forging methods are renowned worldwide, and she represented the Liu Clan to place an order with them.

"I will. If you really miss me, once you’ve achieved success in the Sword Dao and the manor master allows you to leave, you can come to Taizhou to visit me as well."

Liu Ruyan smiled gently.

Her demeanor was neither aloof nor vulgar, easily attracting the affection of others.

The manor master of Sword Casting Manor, Xie Tianyi, laughed heartily and said to Xie Lingling, "Did you hear that, Lingling? You must diligently cultivate in the future."

Seeing him speak, Xie Lingling knowingly withdrew.

Liu Ruyan also put away her smile. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"I’ve troubled Manor Master Xie these past few days. Once the sword is completed, the Liu Clan will surely give a grand reward."

Xie Tianyi still wore a smile, "Miss Liu, you’re too polite. With the materials you brought this time, there’s considerable assurance. Perhaps in two or three years, the Divine Sword will be completed."

"That would be best."

After finishing her words, Liu Ruyan gracefully bowed and, under the protection of two Fifth Grade Guardians, walked towards the carriage drawn by Exotic Horses in the distance.

Watching the three carriages of the Liu Clan disappear into the horizon, Xie Lingling put away her innocence, "Dad, are we really going to help the Liu Clan forge the so-called Seventy-two Heaven-blocking Swords? The Liu Clan should be forging them to deal with the Celestial Yin Sect. We can’t afford to offend the Liu Clan, but neither can we afford to offend the Celestial Yin Sect, and... The Celestial Yin Sect has always had close ties with the Ten Thousand Laws Sect. If..."

Xie Tianyi glanced at Xie Lingling and shook his head,

"The relationship between the Celestial Yin Sect and the Ten Thousand Laws Sect is good, but the Liu Clan’s relationship with the Ten Thousand Laws Sect is not bad either... If I remember correctly, the Palace Master of the Joy Palace in this generation of the Ten Thousand Laws Sect, his wife is the Liu Clan lord’s own sister."

"Liu Ruyan’s own aunt?"

Xie Lingling’s eyes widened.

Xie Tianyi nodded silently.

The relationships between major powers are never just what is seen on the surface. They are interwoven, which is also why this chaotic world has persisted until now.

"It’s really complicated. No wonder Liu Ruyan dares to come to Yongzhou."

Xie Lingling sighed sincerely.

...

With Exotic Horses pulling the carriage, its speed far exceeds imagination, yet it travels exceptionally smoothly.

"Miss, do you think the people at Sword Casting Manor will help us?"

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, leaning somewhat lazily on the cushion by the side of the carriage, "Manor Master Xie is a smart person. I hinted at my aunt’s relationship, he should agree."

"This time, the two purposes of coming to Yongzhou are to invite Cold Moon Ancestor from Guanghan Hall to explore the Blazing Ghostly Land together. After Guanghan Hall considers it, they should agree. The Heaven-blocking Swords of Sword Casting Manor should also agree without surprises. It’s finally completed..."

Liu Ruyan thought in her heart.

The Blazing Ghostly Land is an extremely terrifying ghostly land in the Qingnan Prefecture of Taizhou, existing even before the founding of Great Zhou. Unlike Wangdang Mountain with countless Fierce Ghosts, there is only one Fierce Ghost in the Blazing Ghostly Land!

But the Ghost Servants within are endless.

Such a ghostly land existing for over a millennium, even if the Spirit Crystals from the Fierce Ghosts were merely gestated, is unimaginable, and might surpass even the foundation of the Liu Clan.

Not to mention there’s also some other stuff.

The Liu Clan has studied the Fierce Ghosts in the Blazing Ghostly Land for many years, gaining much understanding of their characteristics. This time, they invited Cold Moon Ancestor from Guanghan Hall to leverage his Ice Attribute Divine Techniques to explore the core of the ghostly land together.

If successful, the Liu Clan’s strength will surely reach a new level.

...

In the distance, atop a green hill stood a figure, accompanied by an Exotic Species the size of a horse with a long nose.

It was Xu Guang and General Wei.

"We are already far from Chifeng Prefecture. Thirty more miles ahead and we’ll be out of the Yongzhou Changwu Prefecture Earth Realm. Attack there..."

A strange look appeared in Xu Guang’s eyes, as he had been following Liu Ruyan’s movements all along.

He had actually seen Liu Ruyan several times when visiting Chifeng Prefecture, but he resisted at the time.

Having found such an old lair as Chiyao County, he didn’t want to give it up easily.

It’s best to make a move further from Chifeng Prefecture.

...

"Miss, up ahead is Changwu Lake."

Changwu Lake is the largest inland lake in Yongzhou, known as the three-thousand-mile-long Changwu Lake. Such a vast body of water naturally nourishes countless Demon Beasts within.

Liu Ruyan alighted from the carriage, looking at the vast, azure lake with a faint smile on her face.

Women love beautiful scenery, and beautiful scenery easily calms the heart.

Several guards untied the horses, intending to let them graze some grass by the lakeside.

Liu Ruyan also, on a whim, walked slowly towards the lake.

Just as she was taking off her shoes, the lake surface suddenly exploded, and a demon beast resembling a giant python surged out of the water, charging towards Liu Ruyan.

The two guardians were alarmed.

"Miss!"

Thunder descended from the sky, the ground exploded, and within tens of feet, the earth seemed to overturn.

A person covered in mysterious patterns suddenly lunged out from the lake, grabbing Liu Ruyan’s arm.

Fear appeared in Liu Ruyan’s eyes. Although she also possessed Fifth Grade Cultivation, at that moment, a powerful aura emitted from the seemingly barbaric person, suppressing her to the point that she couldn’t even gather her Qi Force.
