Chapter 393: Conjecture, extermination of the family [Subscription Request]

Inside the Tianjingmen Mountain Gate.

Yu Jinghua suddenly felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.

If things were really as he guessed, then as the deputy leader, would he also be a chess piece that could be abandoned at any time?
"No, I have to get this matter clear, otherwise I won't understand even after I die!"

He clenched his fists and immediately set off for the cave where Master Tianjing lived.

"Old Ancestor, please understand. Now that fires have broken out in all directions, all the major immortal cultivation clans in Lingzhou are under siege by the clans under the command of Qinglian Temple. The destruction of their families and the death of their loved ones are imminent. All the clans are eagerly waiting for our sect to send troops to rescue them."

"In my opinion, if we don't send troops to rescue them now, we will lose the support of the people. Even if we can achieve great things in the future, it will be difficult to gather people's support!"

Outside the vast white fog formation, Yu Jinghua bowed towards the white fog area in front of him and explained his own views.

This was also his temptation.

But after he said this, he didn't get a response for a long time.

But this time, Yu Jinghua seemed determined not to leave until he got a reply, and he just stood there waiting.

After a full hour had passed, a deep and powerful voice finally rang in his ears.

"Don't worry. People's hearts are fickle. As long as we finally accomplish our great cause, people's hearts will naturally turn to us. Thousands of years later, no one will remember what happened at this moment!"

"If you are tired of those distress messages, just stop receiving them and just guard our sect's mountain gate!"

After just two sentences, there was no more sound.

It was just these two short sentences that made Yu Jinghua confirm his guess.

There were turbulent waves in his heart, but on his face he responded with a calm and respectful expression: "Junior understands, thank you for your guidance, ancestor."

Then he turned and left.

After returning to the master's hall, Yu Jinghua ordered that no one should report battlefield news to him anymore, and only need to keep statistics.

Then he sat cross-legged on the couch, his expression changing as he fell into deep thought.

"It seems that I really guessed right. Master Tianjing deliberately used Qinglian Temple to eliminate those immortal cultivation families that have been entrenched in Lingzhou for hundreds of years, so as to pave the way for cultivating direct vassal families in the future."

"But there are only so many cultivators in his Tianjing Sect who can be of great use now. It is impossible to send all of them out to spread out and establish a family."

"And even if we establish a family and take over those sacred mountains and blessed lands, we simply can't mobilize so many people to maintain the operation of the family at once."

"Or are those sacred mountains and blessed lands not actually prepared for the disciples of Tianjing Sect?"

Thinking of this, Yu Jinghua's eyes suddenly widened, as if he thought of something that surprised him extremely. He suddenly widened his eyes and opened his mouth.

"Could it be that the real person has hidden another group of people outside Lingzhou?"

He exclaimed in his heart, and his expression changed drastically.

If this is true, then his previous speculations would have a suitable reason.

Since there are loyal people hiding elsewhere, there is no need for the fence-sitter families in Lingzhou to care about their lives.

It was just right for him to borrow the knife from Qinglian Temple to harvest them, making it easier for his own troops to move in.

Moreover, when we counterattack Qinglian Temple in the future, these massacred families can be used as an excuse to attack Qinglian Temple, which can kill several birds with one stone.

"If there really is another group of people hiding, will there be any Jindan-stage cultivators among them?"

A thought suddenly popped up in Yu Jinghua's mind, making him feel a little restless.

Previously, relying on the fact that he was the only Jindan-stage cultivator in Tianjing Sect, Yu Jinghua remained calm even when facing Tianjing Zhenren. He was not like the ordinary Jindan-stage cultivators who were extremely awed and submissive to Yuanying-stage Zhenren.

But if he was not the only Jindan stage cultivator in Tianjing Sect, then his previous actions might have been a bit ungrateful.

And if Master Tianjing has closer subordinates who are Jindan-stage cultivators, then he, as the deputy leader, is probably just a target deliberately put forward to attract attention.

When the world is settled, it will probably be time for him to abdicate.

"It seems I have to find another way out for myself!"

Yu Jinghua's eyes sparkled, and he was not willing to just sit and wait for that day to come.

……

Tuyun Ridge.

It was already the morning of the third day since Tuyunling was besieged.

After more than two days of attack, the Guo family's mountain protection formation in Tuyunling was already crumbling, and anyone could see that it would not be able to hold out for much longer.

Zhou Chun and his companions, who had been attacking continuously for more than two days, felt a little tired mentally.

After all, humans are not machines. Even if they can restore their magic power by taking Huiyuan Dan and relax their body and mind through rotation rest, they are still bound to feel tired under the continuous high-intensity attack on the mountain protection formation.

However, they are all people who have achieved success in cultivation, so this little fatigue is nothing and has minimal impact on their combat effectiveness.

"Two days have passed and no one has come to rescue. It seems that Tianjing Sect is determined not to care about the lives of these vassal families!"

In the sky, Zhou Mingde attacked the Guo family's mountain protection formation while expressing his own judgment in a calm tone.

He did not use his spiritual sense to transmit the sound, he just spoke directly.

Therefore, the Guo family cultivators on Tuyun Ridge could also hear it.

On Tuyun Ridge, Guo Tong and a group of Guo family cultivators all showed expressions of anger and despair after hearing his words.

They fought hard at first, not only because they were angered by Qinglian Temple's order to kill everyone, but also because they were hoping that Tianjing Sect would send reinforcements to support the Guo family.

But two days have passed. If Tianjing Sect really wanted to provide support, they should have come long ago.

"I only regret that I was blind and misjudged that old thief Tianjing!"

"I am truly ashamed of all my clansmen and my ancestors!"

Two lines of blood and tears could not help but flow out from the corners of Guo Tong's eyes. Those were tears of regret.

An elder of the Guo family saw this and cried out in tears: "Grand Elder, you are not wrong. The one who is wrong is the Tianjing Sect and the old thief Tianjing. He has betrayed the trust of our families and is not worthy of being called a real person!"

"I really hope that Qinglian Temple's Qingxiao Zhenren can take that old villain's life before he passes away, so that he can suffer the consequences of his actions!"

Another elder from the Guo family cursed loudly, his words filled with hatred towards Master Tianjing.

Before this, these small Foundation Establishment cultivators did not dare to criticize the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, for fear that their words would be heard by outsiders and bring disaster to themselves and their families.

But now, seeing that they and their families were about to be destroyed, they no longer cared about anything else and just wanted to curse to their heart's content.

"At this point, it's useless even if we regret it. We should find a way to preserve some sparks for the family so that the family heritage doesn't end in our hands!" The last foundation-building cultivator of the Guo family did not complain or curse, but stated the key points of the moment very calmly.

This man is the patriarch of the Guo family and is also a man with plans.

Seeing that he could still so calmly consider the family's future affairs under such circumstances, Guo Tong felt even more ashamed and remorseful.

He could not help but sighed: "Oh, I regret not listening to your advice Chongsheng! If I had listened to you and moved the whole clan to the southern wilderness of Yunzhou to guard the border for Qinglian Temple, there would not be such a disaster today!"

Upon hearing this, the head of the Guo family gave a bitter smile and said, "It's useless to say these things now. If you, the Supreme Elder, are willing to listen to my advice again, my Guo family may still be able to keep some sparks!"

"Of course, Chongsheng, feel free to tell me what you have to say. As long as you can preserve the Guo family's fire, even if it means sacrificing my life!"

Guo Tong used his magical power to evaporate the blood and tears from the corners of his eyes, and responded solemnly with a serious expression.

Then he saw the head of the Guo family move his lips slightly and whispered his suggestions to him.

Not long after, the Guo family's mountain protection formation in Tuyunling suddenly changed. The shaky yellow misty light shield suddenly became transparent, allowing people outside to see the situation inside.

However, the situation on Tuyunling at this time was quite eye-catching.

I saw a pile of spiritual coins piled up in a conspicuous place on the mountain, surrounded by piles of magical instruments, elixirs, talismans, and spiritual materials in various jade boxes.

Then the head of the Guo family personally divided these things into dozens of portions, put them into storage bags, and handed them to each of the Guo family cultivators to carry.

The three foundation-building cultivators of the Guo family each carried the largest portion.

Seeing this scene, a foundation-building cultivator who was attacking the formation couldn't help but wonder, "What are they doing? Are they trying to break out?"

"It looks like they really want to break through, but this approach now... forget it, let's just let it go!"

Zhou Chun couldn't help but shook his head halfway through his speech and suddenly stopped talking.

He had already seen through the Guo family's intention in doing this.

But what the other party did was an open conspiracy. Even if they could see through it, they would probably still surrender.

And whether this will be useful or not is hard to say now. It all depends on the luck of the Guo family cultivators.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of Zhou Chun and others outside, the Guo family cultivators on Tuyun Ridge had packed up all their valuables, and even the monsters tamed by the family had been driven to the foot of the mountain, as if they were ready to break out at any time.

It was at this time that the Guo family's mountain protection formation changed again, covering up the situation inside the mountain gate again.

After about a quarter of an hour, with a loud bang, the Guo family's mountain protection formation was completely blown up from the outside.

"Zhou Mingde, accept your fate!"

As the Guo family's mountain protection formation was broken, an angry shout suddenly rang out from Tuyun Ridge.

Then a yellow light shot up into the sky and turned into an ochre-colored mountain that smashed towards Zhou Mingde.

That ochre-colored mountain was somewhat similar to the first-grade, top-grade magic weapon [Small Thousand Mountains Seal] that Zhou Chun had used during his Qi Refining Stage.

However, although this item is not the real magic weapon [Thousand Mountains Seal], it is also a third-level intermediate-grade magic weapon. Its power is far beyond that of the [Small Thousand Mountains Seal]. It can smash a small mountain with one strike.

Faced with such an attack, Zhou Mingde did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly summoned a flaming spear magic weapon to stab at the falling mountain.

But at this moment, a yellow figure flashed, and then flew away into the distance with a shake.

It turned out that Guo Tong's attack on Zhou Mingde was fake, and his real intention was to escape.

For this, he was even willing to give up a third-grade mid-quality magic weapon.

Fortunately, Zhou Mingde was not alone, there was also Zhou Chun at the scene.

Seeing Guo Tong running away, Zhou Chun shouted, "Fellow Daoist Guo, don't run away!"

Before he finished shouting, he turned into a golden rainbow and chased after the yellow light.

Just when Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde were focusing their attention on the escaping Guo Tong, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Guo family on Tuyun Ridge suddenly fled in three different directions.

At the same time, other Qi-refining cultivators of the Guo family were either riding on representative monster beasts, or piloting flying magic tools, or walking on foot and riding the wind, and they all fled in all directions in an instant like birds and beasts.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiapeng could not help but shout loudly: "Guo Tong will be dealt with by the Supreme Elder and the clan leader. Let's keep these Guo family foundation-building cultivators and Qi-refining cultivators here together. No one can escape!"

"Yes, the people of the Guo family cannot be kept here. If they are kept here, there will be endless troubles!"

"Kill all these brats. We can't leave any trouble for the future generations of our family!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators shouted loudly, and then spread out to kill the fleeing Guo family cultivators.

However, several of them took the time to take away the storage bags from the other people when they killed them.

After all, the head of the Guo family had distributed all of the Guo family's property to each member of the family, but they had seen it with their own eyes, and now they naturally did not want to miss out on such a great gain.

But in this way, their efficiency in slaughtering the Guo family monks was delayed.

This is one of the plans that the head of the Guo family mentioned earlier to preserve the Guo family's flame of inheritance.

Although Zhou Chun saw through the plan of the Guo family patriarch, he was also clear that even if he proposed it, other than the Zhou family cultivators, no one else would take it seriously.

Therefore, he simply did not say anything, but only instructed that the three Guo family foundation-building cultivators must not escape, and specifically left behind the Silver Lightning Python and the Golden-winged Tiger to participate in the hunt.

For the Zhou family, it doesn’t really matter even if some Qi Refining cultivators from the Guo family escape.

But it is different for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

If a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage were to shamelessly focus on revenge against the Zhou family, it would cause considerable losses to the Zhou family.

Until now, the Zhou family has been rotating people to monitor Jiang Chuanxiong, the remaining foundation-building cultivator of the Jiang family. As long as he dares to leave the market town, they will do their best to hunt him down.

On the other side, Guo Tong was forcibly stopped by Zhou Chun less than twenty miles after escaping from Tuyunling.

Both of them have reached the initial stage of Purple Mansion cultivation. Although Guo Tong's cultivation is deeper than Zhou Chun's, his magic power is inferior to Zhou Chun who practices top-level skills.

It was because of his desperate spirit that he was able to fight Zhou Chun evenly.

But as Zhou Mingde and the Fire God Jackal came to attack, his life came to an end.

Soon Zhou Mingde stabbed him to death with a spear and took off his head.

Then he looked at Guo Tong's headless body and sighed, "Guo Tong is dead, our mission is complete, there will no longer be a Tuyunling Guo family!"
