Immortality Begins with Breathing Exercises-Chapter 368 - 153: True Intent Seed (Part 3)

Lee Mengxi probed subtly.

He didn’t ask Lin Zheyu if he had a wife and children, instead directly inquiring what kind of women he liked.

In his view, having a wife and children didn’t matter much; for a powerful person, it was completely normal for a man to have several wives and for a woman to have several male companions.

Of course, this was based on an imbalance in power and influence between both parties.

If both the man and woman were equally strong, it was mostly monogamous.

However, many powerful male martial artists would choose partners weaker than themselves, while strong female martial artists leaned towards finding someone stronger as a partner.

"Young and beautiful," Lin Zheyu said without hesitation.

"Haha, great minds think alike, I also like young and beautiful ones," Lee Mengxi laughed heartily.

As they talked, the two of them moved out of the area covered by the Blade Intent and walked towards Lee Wensi.

However, the moment they stepped out of the Blade Intent’s range, a sudden sense of danger surged in Lin Zheyu’s heart.

After cultivating the Turtle Breath Skill to perfection, Lin Zheyu’s perception had greatly improved, becoming extremely sharp.

Lin Zheyu immediately gripped the Golden Scale Blade, and the Qi Blood within him surged, suddenly exuding an astonishing momentum.

Whoosh!

The Golden Scale Blade swiftly slashed backward to the left, its blade tearing through the air with a hiss.

Clang!

The clear sound of metal clashing rang out as a slender sword appeared silently behind Lin Zheyu, almost piercing his chest.

The attacker seemed similar to Tang Zhengtao, cultivating True Intent imbued with the essence of wind, attacking with silence, emitting not a single sound.

Bam!

The slender sword collided with the Golden Scale Blade, and the terrifying force sent Lin Zheyu flying backward.

Lee Mengxi, slower to react by a beat, immediately retreated when he realized what was happening.

He then recalled his uncle’s lessons, stopped in his tracks, but found the attacker had already vanished.

"Be careful!"

Lee Wensi exclaimed in alarm.

A man with ordinary looks chased after Lin Zheyu with remarkable speed.

His speed was astonishing, closing in on Lin Zheyu in the blink of an eye.

"This guy is incredibly fast!"

Lin Zheyu was taken aback and, in this critical moment, he couldn’t afford to think much and planned to activate the Blood Boiling Secret Skill, burning his Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

But soon, he stopped.

He saw a burly figure suddenly appear beside him, exuding a scorching aura.

The figure unleashed a powerful punch, causing a quake in Qi Blood, as if a formless red airflow exploded.

The terrifying punch, accompanied by surging heat waves, bombarded the man.

The man’s figure came to an abrupt halt, realizing the bad timing, he immediately abandoned the attack and retreated swiftly.

"Phew..."

Lin Zheyu sighed in relief.

Thankfully, the Lee Family’s strong presence came to aid in time; otherwise, he would have been forced to use the secret technique and burn his Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

Under such conditions, burning the Essence, Qi, and Spirit would likely lead to exhaustion even with the Strengthening Elixir.

"Thank you, senior, for your assistance."

Lin Zheyu respectfully expressed his gratitude to the burly man.

"You’re welcome."

The man said blandly, turning to leave immediately after.

"Uncle Six, why are you here?"

"Mr. Zhao, are you all right?"

Lee Mengxi hurried over, asking with concern.

"I asked Uncle Six to come, hehe, wasn’t I foresighted?" Lee Wensi giggled.

She raised her face, wearing an expression that seemed to ask for praise.

"Wensi is amazing!"

Lee Mengxi laughed and said, "Tell us, what made you think of asking Uncle Six to come over?"

"Mr. Men found out that Mr. Zhao was on the Soul-Calling Tower’s assassination list, so Sister Mengqi asked me to inform you to be more cautious."

"I figured if the assassin had already infiltrated, a sudden attack could cause trouble. So I invited Uncle Six, who was practicing martial arts, to come over."

Lee Wensi said with a smile.

Seeing her actions truly made a difference, she was very happy.

"It’s all thanks to you this time; otherwise, it would have been troublesome," Lee Mengxi said.

"Thank you, Miss Wen Si."

Lin Zheyu cupped his hands toward Lee Wensi.

"Hehe."

"You saved Sister Mengqi’s life, and Uncle Six saved yours, so now we’re even," Lee Wensi giggled.

"Of course, upon returning, Mr. Zhao will return those hundred thousand silver notes," Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

"Wensi, don’t speak recklessly."

Lee Mengxi gave Lee Wensi a stern look, not wanting the favor Mr. Zhao owed to be resolved so easily.

"Mr. Zhao, please don’t mind her; Wensi is still young and doesn’t understand, speaking without thinking."

"Those hundred thousand silver notes, Mr. Zhao should keep."

"If Mr. Zhao hadn’t saved my sister and escorted her back, the Tang Family wouldn’t have found out. It started because of the Lee Family, so we should bear the trouble."

Lee Mengxi said earnestly.

After speaking, he glared at Lee Wensi again, warning her not to continue speaking out of turn.

Lee Wensi pouted, feeling aggrieved, and muttered softly, unsure of what she had said wrong.

Lin Zheyu chuckled, accepting Lee Mengxi’s explanation.

Building connections is all about owing each other favors.

You owe me, I owe you, you help me, I help you, and over time, a relationship is formed.

"That person, was he an assassin from the Soul-Calling Tower?"

Lin Zheyu looked in the direction the man had fled, curiously asking.

Had it not been for his extraordinary perception, he might have been killed by that silent sword just now.

Even if he hadn’t died, he would have been severely injured.

As expected, as Lee Mengxi said, the Soul-Calling Tower’s assassins are extremely formidable.

"Yes, he should be."

"With the Soul-Calling Tower’s assassins appearing, it’s not safe to stay outside for long. Let’s hurry back," Lee Mengxi said gravely.

"Alright."

Lin Zheyu nodded.

Such powerful individuals are indeed beyond what he can currently handle.

Returning to the Lee Family’s base, gathering up the valuable items left in the cabin, Lin Zheyu accompanied Lee Mengxi, Lee Wensi, and the powerful man back to Wuling City.

The powerful man was Lee Mengxi’s Uncle Six, named Lee Guoming, with terrifying prowess, closing in on the Transforming Force breakthrough.

With Lee Guoming around, they no longer faced assassination attempts from the Soul-Calling Tower’s assassins.

Lin Zheyu returned safely to Wuling City.

"Back again!"

Seeing the familiar Wuling City, Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but feel emotional.

He hadn’t expected that after departing due to Xiaohei, he’d be gone for more than half a month, narrowly escaping death several times. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Luckily, the gains were considerable, saving Li Mengqi and establishing a connection with the Lee Family, securing a place for true skill.

Not only that, his fist strength even broke through.

At Celestial Blade Peak, with the help of Blade Intent, he condensed a True Intent Seed.

Without the aid of the Tyrannical True Intent in the Blade Intent, he wouldn’t know how many years it would take to achieve such a breakthrough.

"Haven’t seen him for a while, I wonder if Mr. Wang has found a suitable Sect and passed the assessment."

Lin Zheyu thought of Wang Jing, unable to help but smile.

This rugged-looking guy with an old face was last time rejected for being too old by appearance.

"First, I’ll hide at the Lee Family for a while; I estimate it won’t take more than half a year."

"Wait until the Soul-Calling Tower assassins give up, find an opportunity to change my appearance and sneak out; it shouldn’t be a problem."

Lin Zheyu contemplated silently.

The heavy armor he had just forged was still at the courtyard he rented. Having been gone for so long, he wondered if it had been stolen.

Besides the armor, he also needed to go out and buy some Fiery Flame Blood-Burning Powder for cultivation.
