Chapter 144 The Zhou Family's Attack (Please Subscribe and Vote)

Yuehu County, Zhou Family.

It is located in one of the several spiritual energy nodes around the county town.

This place is only a few dozen miles from the county seat, and it is filled with spiritual energy. There are thousands of acres of fertile fields and lush forests nearby, all of which belong to the Zhou family.

The core area of ​​the Zhou family is also protected by a second-order grand formation.

The fields on the outskirts are planted with ordinary rice and wheat.

As for spirit rice and the like, they are naturally within the great formation.

Every family that cultivates immortality grows spiritual rice. In addition to meeting the needs of the cultivators within the family, a portion of it must also be handed over to the royal family every year.

Different levels of cultivation families submit different amounts of spiritual rice.

In this respect, the Wei royal family wasn't going too far.

The Zhou family's council hall.

"Gentlemen, what do you think the Su family's intentions are?" The Zhou family head scanned the crowd present.

"Perhaps they're afraid? Trying to rely on the great formation to escape this calamity?"

"Impossible." Someone retorted, "The Su family should also know that relying solely on the spiritual energy from the spiritual energy nodes, even with the second-tier grand formation fully activated, it can only sustain itself for half a month."

The only remaining option is to rely on spirit stones, which will consume a large amount of spirit stones. Even if they exhaust all of the Su family's spirit stones, they won't be able to last more than a few days.

“Master, I feel that something is amiss here, and we must be on high alert.”

"It's like saying nothing at all," someone thought to themselves.

Even within a family, there are people who don't get along.

"No matter what, the momentum is in our Zhou family now, and most families in the county also support our Zhou family. We must deal with the Su family as soon as possible. If we drag it out for another six months or a year, I'm afraid the noble families of Yuehu County will lose their will to destroy the Su family."

"Send someone to inform the various families that a general offensive will be launched in five days. Small skirmishes are not very effective."

"Yes, master."

Guanghu Residence.

Manager Jin also received this news and quickly relayed it back to Dongxi through the Xu family's secret agents.

Xu Mingyuan had always been in charge of this matter, so the Xu family was the first to receive the news.

Upon hearing the news, he immediately went to find Xu Mingwei.

"The Zhou family is determined to launch a full-scale attack on the Su family in five days?" Xu Mingwei frowned slightly as he looked at the contents of the note and pondered.

"Brother, are you going there?"

"Although it was a probing attack, it's hard to say. With so many cultivators and martial arts masters attacking, if the Su family doesn't have other means, the great formation will probably break in less than half a day."

Five days later, the Su family will be destroyed.

Xu Mingyuan nodded slightly and said, "Go find Father and see what he has to say."

The two immediately set off for the Wenxin Academy.

"What brings you two here? Is there news about the conflict between the Su and Zhou families?"

"Father, look at this message. It just came from the county town."

Xu Chuan took the note, glanced at it, and stroked his short beard, saying, "I suppose you two have already made a decision. Let's go and see what happens in five days."

"That's what I think too," Xu Mingwei said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

The two of them immediately stopped bothering Xu Chuan.

Recently, Xu Chuan has been cultivating the Nine Flames Technique, trying to break through to the level of Seven Thoughts as One, but it is indeed not that simple.

With a thought, seven flames suddenly appeared in front of him.

Achieving this level of skill would be quite simple, but Xu Chuan naturally increased the difficulty for himself, such as controlling each flame to constantly change and transform into lotus flames, with each leaf unfolding and blooming, and then withering away.

Then it transformed into a fire phoenix, each feather lifelike.

However, only six of the flames could achieve this level of skill, with the last one always being two or three breaths slower, and the errors and omissions becoming more and more pronounced as the flames progressed.

"I still need to hone my skills every day."

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Mingwei set off for the county town, but before he left, Xu Chuan gave him the Lei family token and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Go ahead and do as you see fit."

"Don't worry, Father, Stone will never let you down."

Xu Chuan grinned upon hearing this and nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

Xu Mingwei went up the mountain, took a path through the forest, and then rode his flying sword to Yuehu County.

at the same time.

The Zhou family also assembled a force to destroy the Su family and advanced towards their territory.

This commotion naturally did not escape the notice of the Su family.

However, those who sought refuge with the Su family, including Grandmaster-level experts and cultivators supported by various families, had already entered the Su family long ago.

Of course, they also keep people on their own inside.

Nobody's a fool to put all their fighting strength into this battle.

After all, this was a dispute between the Su and Zhou families, not a matter of life and death for either of them.

The Su family naturally wouldn't blame their allies for this matter at such a critical juncture. Faced with the predicament, the Su family members also became much more restrained.

Many families were hoping for the best.

They thought that even if they lost, as long as they survived by playing it safe, they could preserve their strength.

However, this is a reshuffling battle, which is destined to turn the entire Moon Lake County upside down and reshuffle the power structure.

The Qi Refining families that receive this fortuitous opportunity will further enhance their foundation, potentially even reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in the future. Martial arts families will also rise, and some may even become immortal cultivation families. As for the losing side, they will suffer a crushing defeat.

Even if it remains unscathed for several years, it will inevitably be gradually devoured by various companies over the next ten years.

It only takes a moment.

The army that was tasked with "annihilating Su" arrived outside the Su family's great formation.

Cultivators hovered in the air on their swords, while martial arts masters stood on the ground. Through the semi-transparent array light screen, thousands of acres of spiritual fields could be vaguely seen.

Everyone was envious.

Even the Zhou family only has seven or eight hundred acres of spirit fields. After all, they have only recently become a Foundation Establishment family, and their foundation is naturally not comparable to that of the Su family, which has dominated Yuehu County for two or three hundred years.

Prior to this, there had been a considerable period in Yuehu County where no Foundation Establishment families had emerged.

Among all the prefectures of the Great Wei, this foundation ranks at the bottom.

The feud between the Su and Zhou families began from this point. There were several other families similar to the Zhou family before, but they could not tolerate the Su family and fought against them, resulting in their extermination and the loss of all their Daoist treasures.

The Zhou family endured humiliation and lived in servility, bowing and scraping. Even when their clansmen were killed, they could only smile and apologize, swallowing all their suffering and tears.

Until the Zhou family patriarch had a chance encounter with an ancient cultivation cave and obtained a rare snow dragon ginseng that was thousands of years old, he decided to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. He survived by the skin of his teeth and luckily succeeded.

He remained patient and steadfast for several years, consolidating his own cultivation level until he was confident in his ability to contend with the Su family. Only then did he announce that he had become a fourth-rank immortal official, and that the Zhou family had been promoted to a fourth-rank immortal cultivation family.

The imperial family also sent people to verify their qualifications, and only after they met the requirements were they allowed to become a fourth-rank noble family.

That's why Zhou Sen dared to reveal his alchemy skills.

If the Su family had found out earlier, they would have certainly made trouble.

With the help of alchemy, the Zhou family has developed rapidly over the past ten years. After the Breakthrough Pill was completed, many cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining appeared in a short period of time.

Some people who were stuck at the eighth level of the bottleneck also made a further step.

Only then did the Zhou family truly possess the foundation to rival the Su family.

In a way, Xu Chuan also deserves some credit; otherwise, it might have taken the Zhou family another ten or twenty years to get to this point.

Xu Chuan indirectly enhanced the Zhou family's foundation, while Xu Mingshu and her mount, the white tiger, aroused deep fear, greed, and dissatisfaction in the Su family.

This action aimed to curb the arrogance of the major cultivation families in Yuehu County.

Sending geniuses from various aristocratic families to the Su family for training crossed the bottom line of those families, and the Zhou family took the opportunity to openly oppose the Su family.

This has led to the situation we see today.

"Everyone, only by eliminating the cancerous growth of the Su family can Yuehu County stand out among all the counties. All the families present can obtain the Su family's Daoist treasures and have the potential to advance further."

These words echoed in everyone's minds like a spell.

Even the usually calm Yang Wenfeng and others were breathing rapidly.

Now that they've made this choice, these old fogies of the Yang family have no choice but to fight tooth and nail for a bright future for the family.

Everyone present was fighting for their own family.

Warning sounds rang out within the Su family, and all the cultivators and martial arts experts who had gone into battle arrived at the edge of the great formation.

The Zhou family patriarch waved his hand and said, "Everyone, follow the Zhou family in attack!"

The Zhou family cultivators all made hand seals, some casting spells, others manipulating artifacts, unleashing a dazzling array of attacks that rained down on the semi-transparent blue screen.

They were all cultivators above the fifth level of Qi Refining, with as many as twenty or thirty at the late stage of Qi Refining.

This foundation is truly unmatched by any other Qi cultivation family.

Each family has at least two or three members, and at most five or six, with most of them at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Many are stuck at the fifth or sixth level of bottlenecks, making no progress for more than a decade.

Once the Zhou family made their move, other families naturally followed suit.

Countless spells fell upon the blue screen, causing ripples to spread across it.

The martial arts experts above the Innate Perfection level approached the light screen, raising their hands to send sand and stones flying, their Innate True Qi condensing into a series of awe-inspiring martial arts moves.

Crimson palm print, golden fist, black sandstorm, tiger-shaped true energy, snake-shaped true energy
Similarly, streams of true energy attacks also landed on the blue screen.

Boom boom boom~
The attack by hundreds of people caused the great array's blue curtain to tremble violently.

It's making people uneasy.

A quarter of an hour later.

Kakakka~
A crisp, mirror-like sound came from the large array's azure curtain.

Joy appeared in the eyes of everyone in the 'Destroy Su' army. The Zhou family patriarch said, "Everyone, give it your all. If anyone's magic power is too depleted, quickly take the pills prepared by my Zhou family."

Upon hearing this, some cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Refining patted their storage bags, from which a pill flew out and automatically disappeared into their mouths.

The moment the pill was taken, saliva was produced under the tongue, turning into a clear stream that flowed straight down to the dantian.

Then, his magical power began to gradually recover.

As for the martial arts experts, they could only look on with envy at this mysterious method, and obediently took out the porcelain bottle from their pockets and swallowed the pill.

In order to destroy the Su family, the Zhou family frantically accumulated pills, all of which were of the Rejuvenation type, and paid a considerable price for it.

"The Zhou family really has a grand scheme," the Su family patriarch sneered, glancing up at the cracks in the azure barrier of the grand formation.

"Gentlemen, this battle is for the Su family, and also for your respective families. If the Su family wins, we will grant all your requests, and may even provide more than you need."

"And if you lose, not only you, but your families will also be implicated. Don't think the Zhou family will let it go easily. Even if they don't act openly, they have countless ways to wipe out your families."

Everyone was solemn.

"Cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Refining and above, and martial arts experts above the peak of the Innate Realm, will accompany me to fight. The rest of the Su family cultivators will activate their magic power to fill the gaps, and may use spirit stones at critical moments."

A group of people, whose numbers were only slightly less than the 'Destroy Su' army, rushed out of the formation.
