Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 374: House Raid! [Subscribe]

The Jiang family is gone!

A great immortal cultivation clan with thousands of years of heritage is gone just like that!
The reasons for their demise can be traced back to decades ago when Jiang Shixian, the alchemist of the Jiang family, plotted to assassinate Zhou Chun because of his greed; and it can also be attributed to the pursuit of Zhou Zhengbai, the foundation-building cultivator of the Zhou family, by Jiang Chuanxiong, the foundation-building cultivator of the Jiang family.

On both occasions, the Jiang family cultivators were blinded by greed and hatred and did things that were detrimental to the family, ultimately leading to the family's demise.

But the real reason obviously comes from the people who really hold power in the Jiang family.

Jiang Shicheng and the Jiang family's mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator who had been assassinated by Lin Hongyu decades ago.

They knew clearly that their own clansmen had done things that violated the ethics of the immortal world and were killed by others for their evil deeds, but they still did not distinguish between good and evil and refused to accept the Zhou family's reconciliation. They must avenge their clansmen who deserved to die.

A person who clearly knew that his family was in decline, but still did not think of disciplining his fellow tribesmen and rectifying the family tradition, led to his fellow tribesmen making big mistakes without considering the consequences, thus bringing disaster upon the family.

"The Jiang family's demise is their own fault, but we should also take it as a warning!"

"As the leaders of the family, we must manage the family well and establish good family traditions in the future. We must not let this happen to our Zhou family and make the same mistakes as the Jiang family!"

Inside the Jiang Family Mountain Gate, Zhou Mingde looked at the flames that had not yet burned out and the bleeding corpses on the ground, and he couldn't help but feel moved and sighed.

He was not sighing for the demise of the Jiang family, but for the cruelty of the world of immortal cultivation.

Many cultivators of the Jiang family actually did nothing wrong and had never offended the Zhou family.

But their mistake was that their surname was Jiang, and they had the same blood as Jiang Shicheng, Jiang Chuanxiong and others.

This same bloodline usually brought them many conveniences and benefits, but now it became the direct cause of their downfall.

Since the Zhou family has decided to destroy the Jiang family and kill those in power in the Jiang family, they will certainly not let go of those cultivators who also have the surname Jiang.

Otherwise, if you are lenient today, it may bring destruction to the Zhou family in the future.

If we look back at the history of the world of immortal cultivation, we can see that such things are everywhere, and we have to be on guard against them.

Therefore, if you want to survive in this cruel world of cultivating immortals and protect your relatives and friends from harm, this is often the only way you can do it.

"What the Grand Elder said is absolutely right. History is a mirror that can help us understand the rise and fall of a family. Although the Jiang family is destroyed today, we don't need to be happy, because the Jiang family today may very well be the Zhou family tomorrow. We should take this as a warning and restrain our clansmen, so as not to let such things happen to our Zhou family again!"

Zhou Chun agreed with Zhou Mingde's words with a look of approval, but there was indeed no smile on his face.

After saying that, he frowned slightly and said, "Although the Jiang family has been destroyed, Zheng Bai's life or death is still unknown. Maybe we can send someone to the market to find out the news."

Hearing his words, Zhou Zhengqing on the side immediately said: "If the clan leader trusts you, let me do it."

"That's fine. You are now the head of the Intelligence Department of my Zhou family. No one is more suitable for this matter than you."

Zhou Chun nodded and agreed immediately.

Then he taught earnestly: "Remember to be more careful. If you encounter any trouble, you don't have to fight the enemy head-on. If you can escape, escape. If you can't escape, you must first save your own life and wait for the family to rescue you!"

"Yes, I will follow the instructions of the clan leader."

Zhou Zhengqing responded and immediately left the Jiang family’s mountain gate.

After he left, Zhou Chun and others started to clean up the battlefield together.

In this battle, except for Zhou Jiarui and Zhou Xinlan, no one else from the Zhou family was injured. However, everyone's spirit pets were more or less seriously injured.

The number of enemies killed by them was as many as hundreds.

On the Jiang family side, Jiang Shicheng, a Purple Mansion stage cultivator, and four foundation-building cultivators were all killed, without any escape.

The Guo and He families who came to rescue also suffered heavy losses. The Guo family's Purple Mansion cultivator and two Foundation Establishment cultivators all died, and the He family only had one Purple Mansion cultivator and one late Foundation Establishment cultivator escape.

At the same time, as many as 276 bodies of Qi Refining cultivators were found inside the Jiang family’s mountain gate. Some of the bodies had been completely destroyed by magic or had been swallowed by monsters, so it was difficult to know how many there were.

In short, according to Zhou Chun’s observation at the time, the number of Jiang family cultivators who were able to escape alive should not exceed ten.

At this time, the eight members of the Zhou family worked together to move the scattered corpses together.

Then, at Zhou Chun's suggestion, all the fallen Jiang family monks were searched for valuable relics and their bodies were gathered at the clan tomb inside the Jiang family's mountain gate for cremation, which was considered a sign of respect for them.

After doing this, everyone began to search for treasures inside the Jiang family’s mountain gate.

As a local immortal cultivation family with a thousand-year heritage, the Jiang family's mountain gate is superior to the Zhou family's Jiufengling in terms of both spiritual energy concentration and land area.

There are also many valuable treasures inside the mountain gate.

The first point is spiritual medicine. Since the Jiang family has an excellent inheritance of alchemy skills, they have opened up many medicinal fields inside the mountain gate and planted a large number of various spiritual medicines.

Although many spiritual medicines were deliberately destroyed by the Jiang family cultivators before their death in the previous battle, the Zhou family cultivators still gained a lot during the looting process.

For example, on the main peak of the Jiang family, Zhou Chun discovered three well-preserved spiritual fruit trees.

These three spiritual fruit trees are a spiritual pear tree, a spiritual apricot tree, and a spiritual date tree.

The spiritual fruits produced on the three fruit trees are not only delicious and sweet, but also contain pure spiritual power, which can be directly refined to improve cultivation.

In addition, there is a tea garden on the back mountain of Jiangjia’s main peak, where more than 20 different varieties of spiritual tea trees are planted.

Although these spiritual tea trees are not particularly precious varieties, they are the heritage accumulated by the Jiang family one by one over thousands of years.

In addition to spiritual medicines, spiritual fruits and spiritual teas, the Jiang family, as a large family of immortal cultivators with a thousand-year heritage, naturally also has a special spiritual beast garden.

The Jiang family's spirit beast garden is not as big as the Zhou family's beast garden, but it also houses more than a dozen common monsters, including a rather rare low-level monster, the five-colored pheasant.

The five-colored pheasant is said to have a trace of phoenix blood, and is the nemesis of all poisons. It is born to eat all kinds of poisonous insects, snakes and ants. Its blood is full of spiritual power and is an excellent auxiliary material for refining many elixirs. It is also a superior material for making talisman ink, and its eggs are an excellent delicacy.

There happened to be eight colorful pheasants in the Jiang family's spiritual animal garden, one male and seven females.

In addition, in a remote corner somewhere at the Jiang Family Mountain Gate, a place where poisonous insects were raised was found. There were more than a dozen poisonous insects raised there, including centipedes, scorpions, spiders, poisonous snakes, etc., some of which were powerful poisonous creatures that could harm cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The total amount of these things is already a lot, so much that the eight people in the Zhou family cannot take them away.

And they are all just things that can be seen from the outside.

The most precious things of the Jiang family are those hidden in the treasure house.

Like the classics in the library, the magic tools and elixirs in the treasure house, and the precious skills and secrets in the secret library. "Everything else is easy to find, but we must find the Jiang family's alchemy inheritance, which is what our Zhou family urgently needs now!"

Zhou Chun's eyes sparkled, and his goal was very clear in his mind.

The Zhou family now has two Foundation Establishment cultivators with good alchemy skills, but the Zhou family’s own alchemy heritage is not very advanced.

For example, Zhou Zhengyuan and Zhou Xinlan can now refine no more than five kinds of elixirs that are useful for Foundation Establishment cultivators, and most of them are elixirs for healing and detoxification.

This is simply not enough to meet the needs of the more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Zhou family.

However, the Jiang family's alchemy heritage is very extraordinary. In the markets within Lingzhou, the elixirs sold by the Jiang family's shops are all brand new and are highly trusted by the monks in Lingzhou.

Therefore, Zhou Chun is determined to obtain the Jiang family's alchemy inheritance.

He took action personally and first broke into the Jiang family's treasure house together with Zhou Daoyi.

As expected, the treasure house contains a large number of refined elixirs, many of which can increase the cultivation level of monks during the Qi refining period.

This is the characteristic of a family.

In addition to elixirs, there were also a large number of magical instruments, talismans, elixirs and other items in the treasury. Zhou Chun and his companions even found several large boxes filled with spiritual coins, which contained more than 50,000 spiritual coins.

Zhou Chun and others naturally would not be polite about the things in the treasure house. They collected everything that could be put into the storage bag.

Just when they had emptied the treasury, the Jiang family's secret treasury was also found by Zhou Mingde.

Upon hearing the news, Zhou Chun hurried to the location of the secret library.

Unlike the Zhou family's secret vault hidden inside a mountain wall, the Jiang family's secret vault is located at the bottom of a pool of water. It would be difficult to discover its existence unless Zhou Mingde searched carefully.

When Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoyi arrived at the scene, Zhou Mingde was casting a spell to drain the water from the pond.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi immediately ordered Qing Jiao to take action, and quickly drained the pool of clear water, revealing the dark mud at the bottom of the pool.

Then the green dragon created another tornado, which blew all the silt into the forest outside.

When the several-foot-thick silt was cleared out, blue-black rocks appeared at the bottom of the pool. Mysterious spiritual patterns were engraved on the stone walls, emitting a hazy black light, and a stone door could be vaguely seen in them.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but whispered: "The Jiang family's core alchemy inheritance was not found in the library or Jiang Shicheng's cave. That thing must be in this secret library."

After saying that, he looked at a blue-clothed female cultivator behind him and asked, "How about it, Xindie, are you sure you can use normal means to crack the formation of this secret library?"

Most secret vaults have self-destruction devices. Once an external force forcibly destroys the secret vault's protective array, the self-destruction device inside will be triggered, destroying the things stored inside.

Therefore, Zhou Chun can only place his hopes on Zhou Xindie, the best formation master of the Zhou family, hoping that she can use the methods of a formation master to break the protective formation outside the secret vault and enter the secret vault without triggering the self-destruction arrangement inside.

Hearing his question, Zhou Xindie stared at the stone wall for a while, then said softly: "The formation on it doesn't look particularly complicated. If you give me ten days or half a month, I have a 50% chance of breaking it."

"No, we don't have that much time. We have to leave here tomorrow at the latest!"

Zhou Chun immediately shook his head and rejected this idea.

This is Lingzhou after all. Even if the Jiang family has been destroyed, even if the Tianjing Sect is stopped by the Qinglian Temple and cannot take direct action, the Zhou family cannot stay in the Jiang family's mountain gate for more than ten days. That is too dangerous.

Zhou Mingde also spoke at this time: "Let's break the formation by force. Once the formation is broken, let the Fire God Jackal and the Green Dragon rush in. We will get as much as we can!"

Hearing them say this, Zhou Xindie felt sorry, but she still dutifully suggested: "If you want to break the formation by force, you can focus your strength on attacking the stone door."

"Okay, then let's listen to Xindie and we'll attack together!"

As Zhou Chun spoke, he summoned the golden long sword.

He just raised his hand and wiped the long sword, and suddenly a golden light flashed on the long sword, and a golden sword light several inches thick appeared in an instant.

This is a special effect of the second chapter of "The Mysterious Art of the Golden Tripod". It can enhance the sharpness of magical weapons such as swords and knives like an enchantment. The disadvantage is that it consumes more mana.

At this time, with a low shout from Zhou Chun, the magic weapons of the three Purple Mansion cultivators of the Zhou family fell simultaneously on the stone gate on the stone wall at the bottom of the pool.

Boom!

With a loud roar, the stone gate instantly shattered and exploded under the attack of the three magic weapons.

It's now!

At the moment the stone door was broken, the Fire God Jackal and the Green Dragon, which were much smaller in size, instantly transformed into two phantoms, one red and one green, and drilled in through the gap.

At the same time, a blazing flame shone through the gap into the eyes of Zhou Chun and others. It turned out that the self-destruction array in the secret library had been passively triggered and began to burn the treasures inside.

At this moment, everyone can only hope that the Fire God Jackal and the Green Dragon will have good luck and successfully bring out the Jiang family's alchemy heritage.

"Out!"

After a while, the Fire God Jackal and the Green Dragon rushed out from the secret vault that had turned into a sea of ​​fire and landed in front of their respective masters.

Then they opened their mouths and spit out the treasures they had swallowed from the secret vault.

In such a hurry, they didn't bring out many treasures. The Fire God Jackal took three items and the Green Dragon took four items.

Among these seven treasures, two are objects that carry the truth, namely a stone tablet and a jade bell.

Among the other five treasures, two are third-level magical instruments, and there is also a jade book, a jade box, and a jade bottle.

Zhou Chun glanced at these treasures and then turned his attention to the secret vault.

The flame in the secret vault had not yet gone out. The power of the flame was no less than that of the earth fire. Even a third-level magic weapon would be difficult to remain intact in such a raging flame without anyone activating it.

"This seems to be the flame stimulated by the Heavenly Fire Formation. This formation requires Earth Fire Source Crystals as materials to set up. It can fully stimulate the power of the Earth Fire Source Crystals at once. The more Earth Fire Source Crystals are used when setting up the formation, the more powerful the flame will be after it is activated!"

Zhou Xindie's gaze also fell on the secret library, and with her own understanding of formations, she roughly figured out the origin of the self-destructing formation inside.

"Let's see if there is anything we want in these things first!"

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, then turned his gaze back to the seven treasures.
