Several soldiers approached with spears. Yan's face showed a look of panic. One hand lightly patted Gu Yan, while the other hand suddenly pulled around her waist, causing a long rope to shake out. It was unknown what material it was made of, soft yet tough. Flexibly shaking in the air, another image of a sharp weapon swept over the throats of the four soldiers, causing them to immediately fall to the ground.

Gu Yan was scared as she opened her mouth. She didn't expect that her mother, who had been sickly all along, would still be a hidden master. After Yan knocked down these four people, she tiptoed and flew in another direction, moving quickly like a rabbit. The people behind were shouting and shooting arrows, but they were all blocked by her bulging cloak and fell off crookedly.

The bearded man shouted from behind, 'Go and report to the commander, be careful of the assassin!'

Yan ran wildly in the opposite direction, avoiding the path of the Song soldiers and thus avoiding the main battlefield. Occasionally, two or three wounded soldiers were also casually dismissed by her. She kept running for several miles when there was a small tree next to her. She stopped and put Gu Yan down from her body.

Gu Yan looked at her blushing face, panting heavily, and looking very tired. Worried, she asked, "Mom, are you okay

Yan took a few deep breaths and sighed, "If it weren't for the injury to her lungs back then, why would she have had to work so hard..." Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly grabbed Gu Yan and quickly dodged to the left, making a loud sound as more than ten crossbows and arrows were already nailed to the ground.

She turned her head and exclaimed, 'It's you!' Not far away stood a tall man dressed as a Taoist, with only a horizontal flesh on his face and a scar slanting from his forehead to the corner of his mouth, which was very frightening. She looked at the mother and daughter with a smile that was neither a smile nor a smile.

Seeing Yan turn his head, he sneered and said, "Yan Ruoran, who was famous in the martial arts world for his hundred refined flying ropes and light body kung fu, actually hid in a small fishing village by the sea. It's really surprising

Yan said coldly, "Ren Zhongjie, I haven't seen you for many years. What are you doing here? Do you want another scar on your face

Ren Zhongjie snorted and said, "I am now enshrined in the court of the Song Dynasty, why can't I come? Do you think I am still the old me?" He suddenly waved the Fu Jie in his hand, and with a gust of wind, a small tree the thickness of a wrist next to him suddenly broke.

Yan's face changed as he asked, "Are you a cultivator

Ren Zhongjie sneered and said, "Do you still want to escape today

Yan's face calmed down and he said, "With your qualifications, you can only cultivate Qi up to level one or two. You cannot seek eternal life, but can only enjoy the wealth and prosperity of the world

This seems to speak of Ren Zhongjie's hidden pain. He snorted and said, "Anyway, it's enough to deal with you. Let's go back and let me handle it

Yan lowered her head and tightened her grip on Gu Yan in her arms, saying, "It's not difficult to go back with you, it's just that I don't have something yet

Upon hearing her faint voice, Ren Zhongjie took a step forward and asked, "What

Yan raised her head coldly and said, "Your head

With a 'brush' sound, dozens of flying needles were released from her belt. Yan's right hand opened and three flying knives pierced Ren Zhongjie's face. She turned around and raised her hand, and the long rope had already flown out, catching a distant tree stump. With a wave of her body, she took advantage of the situation and flew over, and the rope head flew away into the distance. After a few ups and downs, it disappeared into the forest.

Ren Zhongjie hurriedly dodged the flying needle and snorted, "Is this kind of tactic also revealed in front of me?" He didn't rush to chase after him, closed his eyes, and focused for a moment before chasing towards a determined direction.

Yan Shi fled deep into the forest before stopping under a big tree. Her face turned red and her breathing was rapid. After releasing Gu Yan, she couldn't bear it anymore and spewed out a mouthful of blood.

Mother! "Gu Yan panicked and wiped the blood from her mouth with her robe. Yan spewed out this mouthful of blood, her face turning extremely pale. She gave a bitter smile and said," You are indeed a cultivator. Even if it's just a glimpse of the door, it's not something that ordinary people like us can compare to

Gu Yan saw that her chest was stained red with blood, soaking the handkerchief in her hand wet and flustered, not knowing what to do. Yan coughed up a few sips of blood, her face turned solemn, and she said, "Ah Yan, my mother is about to part ways with you for now. That person surnamed Ren was my enemy back then, who never died when we met. If we part ways, we can still leave you a way out. This box was left by your father, who is a member of the Gu family in Yunyang City. If you can escape, go there and find your relatives

Gu Yan heard her say this in one breath, but in the end, she wanted to separate from herself. Even though she usually has a strong personality, she couldn't help but cry: "I don't want to separate from my mother

Yan tightly grasped her shoulder and looked at her with sharp eyes, saying decisively, "You want to survive, you know

Gu Yan was scared by her mother's sharp gaze, but she just sobbed and nodded. Yan glanced at her again and decisively turned away. From a distance, her figure still appeared so agile, completely unlike her injured appearance, disappearing at the end of the dense forest amidst the ups and downs.

Gu Yan stared blankly at her mother's back. The mottled sunlight shone in, and the gentle breeze made the leaves rustle. It seemed like she was the only lonely existence in the world. An uncontrollable sadness seeped through her bones. Although she was still young, she knew that she might never see her mother again in the future.

Gu Yan stood alone under the tree for a whole day, until she was extremely thirsty. She then went to the pond to find water to drink and picked wild fruits to eat. This continued for several days until she became emaciated, and her mother never came back. She kept telling herself to become stronger, thinking of her mother's resolute gaze as she left. On the seventh day, she finally opened the box left by her mother.

There isn't much in the box, there are two crystal clear stones, several thin booklets, and two yellow papers with intricate symbols painted on them. She picked up those few booklets and slowly started reading. Through these, she truly began to understand the world.

In this world composed of mortals, there is a special group of people whose bodies are different from ordinary people. They are able to practice martial arts, have great powers to move mountains and seas, and have a much longer lifespan than ordinary people. These people are called cultivators.

The so-called immortal travels to Cangwu in the morning and to Beihai in the evening. Riding on clouds and qi, riding on the sun and moon, traveling far and wide across the four seas, with no change in life or death within oneself. These are the great immortals of ancient times, whose lifespan can be equal to that of heaven and earth. With their every move and gesture, they can move mountains and fill seas. Their magical power is profound, capable of destroying heaven and earth.

But it is very clear in this book 'Shenzhou Zhiyi' that such immortals only exist in ancient legends, and in today's world, there are no such immortals anymore. There is only one group of cultivators.

Anyone born with spiritual roots is qualified to bring the essence of heaven and earth into their body, purify the mortal world, and cultivate the true essence. Refining qi to build a foundation, forming a golden pill, until reaching the Yuan Ying.

Looking at it, Gu Yan's eyes lit up. The fairy mountains on the sea are not just legends, there are really immortals in this world!
