Chapter 231 Cold-blooded and Selfish
True Lord Yu Feng was originally a True Lord on duty, while Yu Huo was in high spirits because he had inherited the art of alchemy, so he accepted the sect's mission. The two set off for Kunyu City shortly after Yun Xi left.

When the two arrived in Kunyu City, they found a group of cultivators attacking the Wei family's territory. The two leaders were at the late Golden Core stage, and the rest were at the Foundation Establishment stage. The Wei family had already activated their protective formation and was struggling to hold on.

Yu Feng's eyes turned cold. These people were so blatantly attacking the Wei family, they didn't take the Haoran Sect seriously. Just as he was about to show himself, Yu Huo stopped him.

True Lord Yu Huo is a rare alchemist with considerable combat power. His fire-based spells are incredibly skillful, which is one of the reasons why he can firmly hold the position of Peak Master of Danfeng.

He sent a message:

“Yu Feng, those cultivators are suspicious. They don’t seem to be here to cause trouble; they seem to be here to wipe out the entire sect.”

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Yufeng raised his hand and cast a wind-based detection spell. A moment later, a wisp of wind returned to his hand, containing a strange gray wisp of energy. He frowned and said:
"Controlling fire is an evil practice."

Yu Huo rubbed his hands together and said:
"You make the first move, and I'll finish the job from the shadows."

Yu Feng nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

After the two True Monarchs confirmed the identities of the attackers from the Wei family, cracks appeared in the Wei family's protective formation. Wei Nanfeng stood before the formation with a livid face and said coldly:

“Wei Yunxi has already joined the Haoran Sect and has nothing to do with the Wei family anymore. The inheritance you mentioned is completely unknown to our Wei family. Even if you kill us, you will not get what you want.”

"Hmph! This is just your excuse. We've already inquired. You were all very high-profile when Wei Yunxi came back. Now you're offering your lives in exchange for the inheritance. I'm sure she'll compromise. You'd better open the formation and come with us obediently. Your lives are very valuable."

Unless Wei Yunxi no longer wants to live in the Weiyu Realm, she will definitely protect you. Quickly open the formation; once we shatter it, we won't be so polite.

Although Wei Nanfeng's face was grim, his mind was racing. He felt that the other party was right about one thing: if Wei Yunxi didn't want to be scorned by the entire cultivation world, she had to ensure their safety and exchange it for the inheritance the other party mentioned.

Because Wei Yunxi was being blackmailed, the Wei family would have to make compensation, which would give her a greater chance of obtaining the Longevity Pill.

Seeing that the ancestor's expression had softened, Wei Lingtao became even more anxious. The other party was clearly trying to trick them into opening the clan's protective formation, wanting to exchange the lives of the clan members for something from Wei Yunxi. However, these people would never spare the lives of all the clan members. Once the formation was opened, the clan members would face slaughter.

So he immediately spoke up:
"Ancestor, you must not open the formation. These people's words cannot be trusted."

Wei Nanfeng asked with a cold face:
"So we're just going to hold out to the death? How many of us will survive if the formation is broken? If the formation is opened, at least half of the Wei family will survive."

Wei Lingtao said anxiously:

“Ancestor, I have already sent out a distress message. The Feng family should not stand idly by.”

"Hmph! What help could a bunch of alchemists from the Feng family possibly be if they came? They'd just be throwing their lives away! They haven't come yet because they're just trying to protect themselves, so don't get your hopes up."

Wei Nanfeng stubbornly believed that the Feng family would not offer any assistance.

Unfortunately, he was proven wrong the very next moment when Feng Jiaqing arrived with more than a dozen Foundation Establishment stage members of the Feng family to help.

Those outside the formation, seeing that there were indeed fearless individuals coming, decided to make an example of them to force the Wei family patriarch to open the formation himself. So they launched a ruthless attack on Feng Jiaqing and his group.

Feng Jiaqing gripped his sword and retaliated. He had been at the Core Formation stage for some time, and although he was a pill cultivator, he was not without fighting power. However, after engaging in combat, he immediately realized something was wrong. He raised his hand, threw out two pills, and loudly reminded his clansmen:
"They are evil cultivators, don't let them get close." The clansmen were also startled when they heard this, and immediately used the white smoke to conceal themselves when the pill exploded and turned into white mist.

Hidden in the shadows, the evil cultivator of the Golden Core realm raised his hand and swung a gleaming dagger, his target being Feng Jiaqing, since the other party had revealed their identities.

Wei Lingtao, inside the formation, frowned and prepared to leave to provide support, but was stopped by Wei Nanfeng:

"What are you doing going out now? Are you going to your death? Didn't you see the cultivation levels of those black-robed men? Stay here obediently."

Wei Lingtao took a deep breath and said:
“Ancestor, the Feng family came to help us. There’s no reason to let them fall into danger. Since you won’t let me go out, then open a crack in the clan’s protective formation and let the Feng family head and his disciples in.”

Wei Nanfeng refused very decisively:

"No, what if evil cultivators take the opportunity to attack our home? Can you bear that responsibility?"

They didn't care at all about the lives of the Feng family disciples.

The Wind-Riding True Monarch in the shadows snorted coldly:

"It was not unjust for him to be expelled from the sect back then. It's one thing to be afraid of death, but at least you could say that you did it to protect your family. He didn't even care about the most basic morality. It was a waste of the sect leader's arrangements."

Yu Huo also said with a cold laugh:

"He should be grateful that the Wei family, despite its bad reputation, produced a good one, Wei Yunxi. Otherwise, the Wei family would have been wiped out today, and the Feng family, who helped them, would have been implicated as well."

Yu Feng's eyes were full of disdain. He simply raised his hand, and dozens of wind blades arrived in an instant, killing the evil cultivator who was attacking the Feng family disciples on the spot. The dagger thrown by the Golden Core evil cultivator was also knocked away by the wind blades.

The two Golden Core evil cultivators' expressions changed. After exchanging a glance, they transformed into black mist and fled quickly. Their subordinates had all been killed, and the Wei family's reinforcements must have arrived. Even if they didn't run, they would suffer the same fate.

Unfortunately, how could True Monarch Yufeng give them this chance? With a flash, he blocked the two streaks of light ten miles away. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two Golden Core evil cultivators had no choice but to summon their natal evil weapons and unleash streaks of sword light wrapped in gray energy, trying to fight it out.

On the other side, the Fire-Controlling True Lord also appeared, waving his sleeve to disperse the white mist, and looked at Feng Jiaqing, saying:
"The Wei family is unharmed, you can go back now!"

After seeing the monk's robes, Feng Jiaqing breathed a sigh of relief, bowed respectfully, and left with his Feng family disciples. He didn't care about the Wei family's gratitude at all.

Wei Nanfeng naturally recognized True Monarch Yu Huo, and immediately greeted him with a beaming smile, instructing Wei Lingtao to activate the clan's protective formation. He then respectfully bowed and said:
"Many thanks to True Lord Yu Huo for his help, which saved the Wei family. Please accept my bow!"

Yu Huo simply waved his hand dismissively, refusing the other party's thanks:

"If you want to thank someone, thank Junior Nephew Yunxi. She has made significant contributions to the sect and even killed two Nascent Soul evil cultivators. To avoid implicating her family, the sect leader sent the two of us to Kunyu City to pick you up and settle in Haoran City."

Enough with the small talk. You have two hours to prepare. We'll set off for Haoran City in two hours.

At this moment, Yu Feng, who had just killed two Golden Core evil cultivators, also appeared beside Yu Huo and said in a playful tone:
"Those two Golden Core evil cultivators were ordered to exterminate the entire Wei family."
