Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 240 Exterminate their clan, blood family sacrifices (Seeking monthly votes)

"Today, I, Xu, will slaughter a Golden Core cultivator!"

Upon hearing this, the Zhao family patriarch showed a look of horror, and his ears were ringing continuously.

He stared at Xu Chuan in disbelief, "Could it be that I'm getting old and experiencing tinnitus and auditory hallucinations?"

"Fellow Daoist Xu, why do you need to say it again?"

Xu Chuan was both amused and exasperated. He said, "Come with me, both of you. I'll tell you my plan along the way."

Deep in the Broken Tooth Mountains.

The location of the Seven Stars Demon-Sealing Formation.

"A million units of blood food, ten human golden cores, and rare and precious materials to aid in breaking through to the fourth rank?!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Lingshang said coldly, "Mo Yue, are you joking with me?"

"Haha, you're not entirely stupid; you actually figured it out." Mo Yue's vertical pupils were full of mockery. "I'm just toying with you. What are you going to do about it?"

"Come bite me?"

Having listened to Xu Chuan's trash talk so much, Mo Yue's verbal skills have also become extraordinary.

Xue Ling was so angry that his vision went black, and his face suddenly turned from pale and ashen to purplish-brown, looking like a piece of thoroughly pickled pig liver.

"You used the secret bloodline technique to prolong your life and luckily formed your core. You think you can compare to Xu Chuan? You can't even compare to his fingernail."

Mo Yue raised his dragon claw, glanced at it, and felt something was wrong. He said, "It's not my fingernail. Mine is too big and doesn't suit you. Just compare it to your own fingernail."

It's not very lethal, but it's extremely insulting!
"Go to hell!"

Bloodlust and furious roars shook the ancient trees around him, causing branches and leaves to fall in a rustling sound, and the mud beneath the decaying leaves was trampled and splashed.

He flipped his palms and formed hand seals, and the blood mist around him suddenly surged, transforming into a blood river ten feet wide that meandered through the forest. Countless twisted and vengeful spirits floated on the surface of the river, and their shrill cries caused the leaves to fall one by one.

Mo Yuelong's eyes narrowed, and its giant tail swept away an ancient tree that was about the size of a person's arm. As the tree trunk crashed to the ground, it opened its huge mouth and drew water vapor from the forest to condense into a hundred-foot-long water curtain, which stood in front of it like a crystal wall.

The river of blood crashed into the water curtain, making a continuous hissing sound.

Amidst the rising white mist, although the water curtain was eroded with several gaps, it still managed to halt the Blood River's offensive.

Before Xue Ling could change his move, Mo Yue rushed over with a stench, his blue claws gleaming coldly as he tore at Xue Ling's face. Where his claws passed, white streaks were slashed through the air, and the bushes along the way were all chopped into dust.

With a light leap, Xue Lingshang landed on an ancient tree branch, his palm flashing with crimson light as he unleashed three blood-bone spears.

The spear was formed from condensed blood and evil energy, embedded with tiny white bone fragments, and shot towards Mo Yue's vital point with a sharp whistling sound.

Mo Yue spun around and swung its tail, its dragon scales and armor withstanding the three spears, sparks flying everywhere.

Then, he frantically slammed his giant claws against the ancient tree where the blood-stained wound was located. The trunk, as thick as a bowl, snapped in response, sending wood chips and decaying leaves flying everywhere.

Xue Lingshang used the broken branch to propel himself forward, and with his right hand, he conjured a blood-red bone knife, the blade wreathed in purple-black demonic flames, and slashed fiercely down towards Mo Yue's left eye.

Mo Yue swung the dragon's head sharply, and the bone knife grazed the dragon's horn and slashed at its neck, slicing off several pieces of bloody scales.

He immediately flew into a rage, his sharp claws sweeping across like steel whips, tearing the blood-stained robes from the man's shoulder and sending him flying.

In the blink of an eye, blood mist surged from the wound, instantly stopping the bleeding and healing.

And at this time.

The Seven Star Demon-Suppressing Chains clanged as they swept in.

"Go away!"

A surge of spiritual energy erupted from his dantian, and the wave of spiritual energy directly shattered the Seven Star Demon-Suppressing Chains.

Unfortunately, the Demon-Suppressing Lock is inexhaustible as long as the great formation remains intact.

A short while later, it extended out from the void once again.

At this moment, Xu Chuan had already returned. Seeing the two fighting, he immediately said, "Mo Yue, you must kill him today, otherwise my Xu family will be wiped out."

"I'm here to help you!"

Xu Chuan rushed into the formation and communicated with Mo Yue telepathically, telling him his plan.

With a flick of his sleeve, the Heavenly Wood Shield surrounded him, and holding the alchemy furnace in his right hand, a several-zhang-long phoenix of fire flew out in the blink of an eye, grabbing at Xue Lingshang's head.

"The clown!"

With a single hand gesture, Xue Lingshang conjured a seven- or eight-zhang-long blood-red python, which was several times more solid and powerful than the one created by the Xue family's Grand Elder.

In just over ten moves, he shattered the Phoenix of Departure.

The blood python lunged at Xu Chuan, but was blocked by the Heavenly Wood Shield.

next moment.

The Heavenly Wood Shield erupted with a burst of green light, and countless sharp spikes burst forth, riddling the Blood Python with holes at close range.

Then, Xu Chuan secretly manipulated the Hundred Herbs Needle to launch a sneak attack while he was being harassed by the Seven Star Demon Suppression Chains and attacked by Mo Yue.

"Still trying to ambush me?"

Blood Ling injured his consciousness, and he was constantly aware of the surrounding movements.

A burst of crimson light erupted from his body, blasting away all the Hundred Herbs Needles, which then returned to Xu Chuan's hand. The Seven Star Demon Suppressing Chains were also shattered once more and reformed.

At this moment, Mo Yuelongwei, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, lashed out at his face.

With a flick of his sleeve, Xue Lingshang conjured a blood-red shield, which formed a blood-red light barrier to defend against the attack.

Click!

The light barrier of the top-tier magical artifact was shattered by a single blow, and then dissipated into points of light as it rapidly retreated.

The crimson shield's aura dimmed instantly.

The Seven Star Demon-Suppressing Chains struck again, weaving through the forest like a serpent. Seven streaks of azure light shone like ribbons, the runes on the chains blazing brightly. Each sweep brought a chilling radiance, forcing the bloodlust around him to surge.

This persistent and haunting harassment had long been annoyed to him.

However, he simply didn't have the extra time to break through this great formation.

With a sudden grit of his teeth, Xue Lingshang reached out and patted the black body bag at his waist, from which seven ebony coffins flew out with a "whoosh".

The coffins were covered with dark red blood patterns, seemingly drawn from dried, congealed blood. When they landed, they crashed heavily into the rotting leaves and mud, causing the surrounding vines to tremble. Each coffin exuded a suffocating aura of death.

"Bang bang bang-"

A series of muffled explosions rang out, the lids of the seven coffins were suddenly blown off, and amidst the flying wood chips, seven tall figures abruptly stood up.

There were seven blood-soaked corpses!
Their skin was as black as ink, and the exposed white bone fragments were visible through the rotting flesh. Their waists were wrapped in tattered blood-stained cloth, and each corpse was shrouded in a thick, tangible aura of bloodlust.

The leading blood corpse held a rusty bone knife, with half a severed finger embedded in the blade.

The two at the back had bluish-black claws about a foot long, with black bloodstains accumulating under their nails.

go! "

Xue Lingshang let out a cold shout, and blood-red light surged from his fingertips.

The seven blood corpses immediately roared and pounced on one of the seven-star chains. The lead blood corpse swept its bone knife horizontally, slashing at the foremost chain with a sharp whistling sound.

A crisp "clang" rang out!
The bone knife clashed with the chain, sparks flying everywhere. The runes on the chain suddenly shone like stars, causing the blood corpse to stagger half a step, and wisps of white smoke rose from its surface.

A chain swept across the shoulder of the clawed blood corpse, tearing away half of its rotting flesh to reveal its stark white shoulder blade.

But the blood corpse felt no pain. Instead, it used the force of the chain's lash to bite into the chain, its blood and evil energy frantically eroding between its teeth.

Xue Lingshang stood at a distance, coldly watching the blood corpse fight with the chains, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

All seven blood corpses were crafted by him using the bodies of late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators as materials and employing the Blood Demon Path secret techniques. Each of them was capable of fighting against a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator.

He suddenly formed hand seals and coldly said to Xu Chuan, "You're not the only one who knows formations!"

"Seven Corpse Blood Fiend Formation, activate!"

The seven blood corpses suddenly formed an array, their energy intertwined, and seven enormous streams of bloodthirsty energy soared into the sky, as if they were about to break through the Seven Stars Demon Sealing Array.

"Gathering starlight, the Big Dipper, suppress!"

As darkness fell, the stars began to appear and disappear.

Xu Chuan used the light of the stars to enhance the power of the great formation, and firmly suppressed the Seven Corpse Blood Fiend Formation.

However, this would prevent them from attacking Bloodstained Wounds.

"Without the Seven Star Demon Sealing Formation, do you think I can't deal with a Golden Core cultivator like you who hasn't even refined a magic weapon?"

"You've just entered the third tier, we're in the same boat." Xue Lingshang chuckled coldly. "Your strength as demon beasts lies in your bloodline, power, and defense."

We practitioners, however, excel at creation and strategy.

"Mo Yue, do you feel anything wrong with your body?"

"Do you think the blood mist all around is just decoration?"

I've been thinking about how to deal with you third-tier demonic beasts for a long time. After all, you are the hurdle I have to overcome to leave this cage!
The toxins contained in the blood mist are specifically designed for demonic beasts; even mid-stage third-tier demonic beasts will gradually become exhausted and powerless.

It must be said that the dragon bloodline is indeed powerful.

It's amazing that it could last this long; it's comparable to a mid-stage third-tier demonic beast.

But there should be a reaction by now.

Mo Yue blinked twice and thought to himself: But I have a peak third-tier bloodline!

What kind of reaction do you expect? I'd rather give you a hammer!

Xu Chuan telepathically communicated: "Mo Yue, it's time to start showing off your superb acting skills."

Mo Yue rolled his eyes, then flew into a rage, "So it was you who did this!"

“Naturally, from the moment you appeared, I added some kind of toxin that targets demonic beasts to the blood mist, so that even if I couldn’t escape immediately, I could still have a backup plan.”

"Insidious and cunning humans!"

"I'll tear you apart!"

With a roar, Mo Yue's massive body moved like lightning, his dragon claws covered in blue light as he viciously grabbed at Xue Lingshang.

Xue Lingshang raised his hand, conjuring a giant crimson palm, and went to meet the attack.

In the past, the blood-red giant hand would have been torn apart, but now the blue light was corroded by the blood light. The palm print deflected the dragon claw and struck Mo Yue's body hard, sending him flying.

"It really worked."

Xue Ling was slightly calmed down, and then his face lit up with joy. He said, "If I can refine your dragon essence blood, then the power of my Blood Demon Path technique will be further enhanced."

It can easily transform into a blood-red dragon, possessing the essence and some of the combat power of a true dragon.

"My power!"

"No!"

"You'd better die!"

Mo Yue closed in again, but was once again knocked away by Xue Ling Shang, and suddenly coughed up blood.

"You really don't learn your lesson. But I'll have plenty of time to deal with you, you beast. For now, let's deal with you first, Xu Chuan."

Without your control, the great formation will crumble on its own!

"Moyue!"

Mo Yue attacked again, but was easily knocked away once more.

"You're too dangerous. I won't be at ease until you're dead!"

"Kill me? Don't you want to know the secrets of the Xu family?" Xu Chuan retreated continuously.

“People as intelligent as you and me would surely place a restriction in the souls of those who know about our key secrets to prevent them from being leaked. Anyone who tries to probe into it will be detonated.”

Therefore, I, the old ancestor, gave up.

"If we slaughter your entire Xu family, we can dig three feet into the ground and find your family's secrets and the treasure trove where your family's wealth lies."

The words have not yet fallen.

Blood-stained figure moved like a streak of crimson lightning, arriving before Xu Chuan in an instant, about to reach for his heart.

Just then, a smile appeared on Xu Chuan's lips.

A branch appeared in his hand without his noticing, and he gently waved it at him.

On an ordinary branch, emerald green light flows.

But in the next instant, a terrifying aura erupted, and Xue Lingshang instantly felt the danger of death.

He didn't even have time to dodge, and could only unleash all his magical power to defend himself.

The emerald light condensed into a hazy, phantom image of an old man, who extended a finger toward Xue Lingshang.

The finger, like an incredibly sharp sword, pierced through his magical shield, robe barrier, and all other defensive measures, creating a bloody hole in his chest.

Xue Lingshang's eyes widened in disbelief.

But the next moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind him, and a sharp claw pierced through his dantian, pulling out a golden pill.

"Why? Since you have such a trump card, are you toying with me?"

A chilling aura swept in from the side, completely freezing his boiling blood.

“If it weren’t for this situation, I can’t guarantee that you wouldn’t have been able to take it.”

As for teasing?

It's just that we're afraid you'll self-destruct when you're desperate.

However, the power of the blow that you gave me, senior, was indeed beyond my expectations. I estimate that if you were at your peak, you would be seriously injured and on the verge of death if you took this blow head-on.

"A Golden Core cultivator without a magical artifact is still somewhat weak."

weak? !

Xue Ling was so angry he wanted to vomit blood, but all the blood in his body was frozen, so all he could spit out were fragments.

He hasn't said anything yet; he's just clinging to life like a Golden Core cultivator on his last breath.

Mo Yue transformed into a size of about ten feet, flew to Xu Chuan's side, and grinned, "Xu Chuan, watch how well I acted just now. I completely fooled this kid, didn't I?"

"You have made progress, but the art of acting is profound and complex, and you still need to work hard to improve."

"You guys"

"Heh, what do you mean 'you'? I didn't feel a thing about your tiny bit of poison. If Xu Chuan hadn't given the order, I would have swatted you away with one paw."

"This is impossible!"

Xue Lingshang painstakingly researched for many years to escape this cage and deal with third-tier demonic beasts, so how could it be ineffective?

"Turns out, I've always been a joke."

Xue Lingshang's eyes gradually dimmed, losing their luster.

"This is infuriating! I don't think I've even used my full strength yet!" Mo Yue muttered, looking at the Black Cloud Leopard not far away. "Hand over the Golden Core in your hand; it's our spoils of war."

"Yes, Boss Jiao."

The Black Cloud Leopard was still shaken by the beating it received last time and dared not disobey.

"Xu Chuan, is it alright for me to keep this golden pill?" Mo Yue asked.

Black Cloud Leopard found it unbelievable.

A third-tier dragon and a ninth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator—this combination was clearly led by Xu Chuan.

Isn't this going against the Heavenly Gang?

In the Zhao family, anyone who wants to do something for the Zhao family's foundation-building stage has to ask him for help.

He only does things when he's in a good mood; if he's in a bad mood, he might not even bother with them.

"You've done a great job this time, so it's naturally yours. Thaw the blood-stained corpse; I have a use for it."

"Easy to say."

Mo Yue absorbed the extreme cold energy, then swallowed the golden pill in one gulp. After finishing, he licked his lips and said, "Delicious!"

Then, he mentally connected with Xu Chuan.

"I believe that after refining this golden core, I can recover to the mid-stage of the third rank."

"No rush. Let's strike while the iron is hot. We can also go to the Great Jin later and wipe out the Xue family."

"Alright, I'll refine it slowly after everything is finished."

Xu Chuan patted his storage bag, and a soul banner flew out, eerie and terrifying.

He made a hand seal, and the Soul Banner suddenly shone with a great black light, with chains flying out and piercing into Xue Lingshang's body.

A moment later, a struggling soul was pulled out and then drawn into the soul banner. "If the golden core soul is refined into the main soul of this banner, its power should increase dramatically to the level of a magic weapon."

Xu Chuan thought to himself.

As for Xue Lingshang's body, he also planned to refine blood corpse puppets, hoping to create blood corpse puppets with strength comparable to ordinary Golden Core cultivators.

Then the Xu family will have another trump card.

He glanced at the seven blood corpses in the distance. Since their master had died, they remained motionless.

After considering it, Xu Chuan moved them back into the Yin Wood coffin and then put them into his storage ring.

The blood-stained storage bag was also put into his hands, and the corpse was also put away.

Then, he made hand seals and dispelled the great formation.

Seven streams of light flew in from all directions and entered the storage ring.

at this time.

When the Zhao family patriarch arrived, he smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xu, today you, with your Foundation Establishment cultivation, have slaughtered a Golden Core cultivator. You are truly the first person to do so!"
Mr. Zhao was extremely impressed!

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you are too kind. I am planning to go to the Xue family of the Great Jin Dynasty to eradicate them completely. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zhao knows their location?"

"I have a general idea, so let me, Zhao, lead the way."

Xu Chuan clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhao."

The Zhao family patriarch rode a black cloud leopard, while Xu Chuan rode a dragon. Under the cover of night, the two headed straight for the Great Jin Dynasty.

----------

The next morning.

The Great Jin Dynasty, above the Blood Clan.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, this is the territory of the Blood Clan."

Xu Chuan stood on the void, his robes billowing like clouds, looking down at the faintly visible crimson light curtain in the mortal world.

After a moment, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "A high-grade second-tier formation."

"With Lord Black Panther and your Xu family's Flood Dragon here, we can easily defeat them. Fellow Daoist Xu, there is no need to worry."

Xu Chuan glanced at him and said, "There's no need for the Zhao family to get involved in this matter. After all, it's a feud between my Xu family and the Xue family."

"Very well," the Zhao family patriarch replied.

Xu Chuan brushed his hand across the storage ring, and seven array flags flew out as he formed a hand seal to set up the Seven Star Demon Sealing Array.

Having successfully set up the formation, he said to Mo Yue, "You've eaten their ancestor's golden pill, so send their entire clan down with you."

"What about you?"

"I am responsible for capturing their souls and collecting their blood."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Chuan held a black soul banner in his left hand and a strange crimson blood bead floating in his right palm. "In the demonic scriptures that Xue Lingshang cultivates, there is a method for refining a Xuan Yin Blood Corpse."

It requires the corpse of a Golden Core cultivator, a thousand-year-old Profound Yin Grass, and a large amount of blood for refinement. Blood from the same clan is best, as it can further stimulate its ferocity.

"Ok."

Mo Yue's body swelled to over thirty feet again, and his dragon claws emitted blue light as he pressed down on the pale red light screen below.

In a moment.

The crimson light barrier of that second-tier high-grade array shattered like a broken glass mirror, creating a huge hole over ten feet wide.

The array patterns crumbled inch by inch, and the spiritual light dissipated like falling stars.

The entire formation collapsed instantly, and dust billowed everywhere.

"Dragon!"

The Blood Clan disciples stared wide-eyed at the enormous dragon that descended from the sky and shattered their clan's protective formation, so terrified they could barely speak.

Instantly.

The ferocious aura of a peak third-tier demonic beast pressed down like dark clouds, instantly enveloping the Blood Clan's territory.

Those below the Foundation Establishment stage had their joints cracking and their knees were as soft as mud, all of them prostrating themselves on the ground.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators turned ashen-faced, their hearts filled with horror.

A cold glint flashed in Mo Yue's eyes, and he raised his head to let out a deafening dragon roar.

The spiritual energy in the sky surged violently, condensing into thousands of ice shards that hung in the air like meteors, poised to strike.

Suddenly.

Like a sudden downpour!

A thousand icy blades flashed with a cold light, whistling down from the sky and crashing towards the Blood Clan's territory.

The brick-paved path was instantly riddled with holes, and flying ice shards mixed with gravel shot towards the crawling tribesmen, their screams echoing everywhere.

Those below the Foundation Establishment stage are already as soft as mud, how could they withstand such a heavy blow?

Icicles pierced through chests and abdomens, leaving a bloody mess of flesh and bones mixed with shattered ice. The Blood Clan's territory was instantly transformed into a battlefield of carnage.

"Defend the enemy!"

The Blood Clan's Grand Elder rushed out, leading several Foundation Establishment elders, attempting to attack Mo Yue.

However, Mo Yuelong's eyes sharpened, his dragon roar resounded again, and the spiritual energy in the sky surged even more violently. His massive body charged directly towards those Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Their magical weapon attacks did not cause any damage to Mo Yue, while Mo Yue's slightest collisions severely injured them, and two of them died instantly.

boom! boom! boom!
Wherever Mo Yue went, all the buildings collapsed, and countless ordinary members of the Blood Clan had their heads smashed by giant stones and wooden beams.

Under divine sense, no one can escape Mo Yue's detection.

The Zhao family patriarch, watching the scene unfold in the clouds, shook his head and sighed, "Truly, those who reap what they sow."

The Black Cloud Leopard said, "Little cultivator, it's fortunate that you have good relations with the Xu family, otherwise I wouldn't care about you. Boss Mo Yue is far beyond my ability to defeat."

"What we did not do in the past, we will not do in the future."

After half an incense stick's time, the screams gradually subsided, and the icicles melted away.

The Blood Clan's territory was devastated, with blood-stained ice water pooling between the broken walls and icy remnants. Fragments of flesh and bones were embedded in the floating ice, and the once-prosperous courtyard was now reduced to charred pillars and scattered fragments of magical artifacts.

Mo Yue stood in the sky above the center of the ruins, roaring towards the heavens.

Xu Chuan then began to activate the black soul banner, and chains spread out to lock the souls of the Blood Clan members.

Then he activated the Bloodthirsty Bead, which floated above the ruins of the Blood Clan, its eerie blood-red light illuminating all directions.

In a moment.

Countless streams of blood energy rose up and surged toward the Blood-Devouring Bead.

Mo Yue shrunk to about ten feet in size, rummaged through the cultivators' storage bags, and then explored the Blood Clan's treasure trove of resources.

They didn't even spare ordinary gold and silver.

After a stick of incense.

Xu Chuan put away the Soul Banner and the Bloodthirsty Bead, and joined the ranks of those looting treasures.

Until no further discoveries were made.

The forbidden stone cave of the Blood Clan was broken open, and Xu Chuan discovered a blood pool inside, which was mixed with countless auras.

"Could this be the Blood Pool of Ten Thousand Spirits?"

According to the Blood Demon Scripture, by gathering the blood of all spirits, one can refine the Myriad Spirit Blood Pill, which increases the chances of Blood Demon cultivators breaking through to the Golden Core stage.

"This blood pool is perfect for nourishing the blood-soaked corpse; it should speed up the refining process."

Xu Chuan put away the seal on the blood pool and searched the cave. He found the bones of some Foundation Establishment demon beasts, as well as some top-tier magic weapon materials and two pieces of third-tier materials.

Then he released the alchemy furnace, and when the lid was lifted, a sea of ​​fire erupted, burning the Blood Clan's territory.

All the remaining remains were burned completely.

Next, they implemented landscaping techniques.

Amidst countless ashes, vegetation grew wildly, burying everything, leaving only broken walls and ruins to tell us that this place was once the home of a prominent family.

Upon seeing this, the Zhao family patriarch was also terrified.

"This completely erases all traces of the Xue family!"

Xu Chuan made a hand seal to put away the array flags, and together with Mo Yue, they arrived in the sky. He said to Mo Yue in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, we've kept you waiting. Let's go back."

"it is good."

The two left immediately.

On the way, Xu Chuan borrowed the Black Cloud Spirit Leopard from the Zhao family and returned the remaining piece of the Divine Consciousness Jade Token that the Zhao family had given him.

The Zhao family patriarch naturally had no objections and returned to Daliang alone.

Meanwhile, the Black Cloud Leopard returned to the Xu family with Xu Chuan and Mo Yue.

Daliang, the Zhao family.

When the Zhao family patriarch and the elders saw their ancestor return, they immediately stepped forward and asked, "Ancestor, how is he?"

The Zhao family patriarch sighed deeply.

"What happened? Were you unable to help? Is the Xu family gone?" asked a Foundation Establishment elder.

The Zhao family patriarch glared at him, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Even if my Zhao family is gone, the Xu family will be safe!"

"I am simply reflecting on this moment. Before this moment, I, the patriarch, established a clan rule: no matter what happens to the Zhao family in the future, we must never oppose the Xu family, and we must do our best to help them if they need any assistance."

The Zhao family patriarch and others exchanged bewildered glances.

"Ancestor, what is this?"

"The Blood Family is gone."

The Zhao family patriarch looked up at the sky, recalling Xu Chuan's methods, and still felt lingering fear in his heart.

The Great Wei Dynasty, Yuehu Commandery.

Dongxi.

Black Cloud Leopard and Mo Yue stayed together at Bihan Pool.

Xu Chuan, on the other hand, went into seclusion to refine what he had gained from this experience.

Knowing that all the dangers had passed, Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingyuan both breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted from their hearts.

The Xu family quickly returned to their normal lives.

Some returned to the Guangling branch, some studied formations, some cultivated, and some did tasks.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The newly established Golden Core clan, the Xue family, was razed to the ground, sparking discussion among the powerful clans of the Great Wei, Great Liang, and Great Jin.

However, only a few individuals from the Cao, Sima, and Zhao families truly knew what was behind it.

Cao Defeng went to see Cao Jiyi, the patriarch of the Cao family, about this.

Upon hearing this news, Cao Jiyi frowned and after a long while said, "Don't provoke the Xu family anymore, and be prepared for them to come and make trouble."

"Yes, ancestor!"

The Sima family naturally guessed that Xue Ling must have died from the injuries.

If someone can kill a Golden Core cultivator, then they have the ability to threaten the Sima family.

Therefore, the Sima family's patriarch also put the Sima family on guard.

But the Xu family has made no move in March.

Xu Chuan is very busy.

He reforged the Soul Banner, the Blood-Devouring Bead, and the seven Blood Corpses, and then refined the Profound Yin Blood Corpse.

The Xuan Yin Grass it needed happened to have two plants in the Bi Han Tan herb garden, both of which were over three or four thousand years old.

Xu Chuan alone refined the Profound Yin Blood Corpse; with his cultivation level, it would take him several years to achieve that.

Therefore, he asked Mo Yue and the Black Cloud Spirit Leopard for help, using their third-tier spiritual power and the Black Cloud Spirit Leopard's third-tier spiritual flame to refine it.

The Blood Pool of Myriad Spirits contains Xuan Yin Grass that has been growing for thousands of years, the spiritual power of a third-tier demon beast comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator, and a third-tier flame.

The refining process was also undisturbed.

This can be described as a perfect storm of favorable timing, location, and human factors.

After three months, the Xuan Yin Blood Corpse was successfully completed.

Lacking a Golden Core, Xu Chuan used the Bloodthirsty Bead as its core, giving it an extremely unique ability to rapidly heal injuries.

However, even with the Xuan Yin Grass that is thousands of years old and the essence blood of the Blood Clan as materials to enhance the strength and ferocity of the Xuan Yin Blood Corpse, it still only allowed him to reach a level of strength comparable to the Golden Core stage.

If it possesses a complete Golden Core, the explosive power of the Xuan Yin Blood Corpse is comparable to that of a cultivator at the third level of the Golden Core stage.

The golden core had been completely refined by Mo Yue, and its effect on him was even greater than that of a third-tier demon beast's inner core.

It restored it to the mid-stage of the third tier.

If Mo Yue hadn't merely been restoring and improving his strength, this golden core would have at most elevated him to a level comparable to the second stage of the golden core realm.

"That's enough. This Xuan Yin Blood Corpse has some growth potential, which is enough for now. Neither the Cao family patriarch nor the Sima family patriarch can easily kill it."

In addition, the seven blood corpses were not fully refined because they lacked thousand-year-old Xuan Yin Grass. Xu Chuan perfected them, and they became low-end versions of Xuan Yin blood corpses.

Following his instructions, Xu Mingxian deduced a grand formation suitable for the Xuan Yin Blood Corpse.

The previous Seven Corpse Blood Fiend Array was completely unable to unleash the power of these eight blood corpses.

In Xu Chuan's mind, if Xu Mingxian could do it, the Xu family, possessing the Xuan Yin Blood Corpse Formation, would be able to contend with any Golden Core early-stage peak cultivator.

Even those who possess magical treasures are not afraid.

This is the power of an array!
The Soul Banner was reforged, and the souls of Xue Lingshang and the rest of the Blood Clan were refined into Soul Banner Ghosts, giving them the power to harm Golden Core cultivators.

Furthermore, because the members of the Blood Clan are connected by blood, the ghosts they refine with their souls can also be integrated into the main soul of Blood Lingshang, giving him the full strength of a Golden Core level ghost.

It must be said that the Xue family are very good people.

The entire clan contributed two Golden Core warriors to the Xu family.

"Xu Chuan, didn't you say you were going to the Cao family and the Sima family? When are you going?"

Mo Yue emerged from the icy pool.

The black cloud leopard lying nearby twitched its semi-circular ears slightly.

"It's not good to keep the Black Cloud Leopard in my Xu family for too long. If it goes on any longer, the Zhao family might start to have ideas."

After pondering for a moment, Xu Chuan said, "Seven days from now, we'll go to the Cao family first, then the Sima family!"

"However, this trip is not for attacking, but for negotiating!"

"What are you talking about?" Mo Yue asked, puzzled. "Now that you've successfully refined the Profound Yin Blood Corpse, and the Soul Banner has refined a Golden Core-level ghost, plus me and Black Panther, you could probably wipe out the Cao and Sima families, right?"

"Perhaps it is feasible," Xu Chuan said with a faint smile, "but this is not the purpose of my Xu family."

"Having swallowed the entire Xue family, the resources they obtained are enough for my Xu family to digest for more than ten years, and my Xu family's foundation is also constantly improving."

The current situation is sufficient.

Moreover, let's not forget the calamity that will occur decades later.

Without the Cao and Sima families, do you want all the Golden Core cultivators who appear during the Demon Tribulation to focus on the Xu family's doorstep?
If the Xue family hadn't courted their own demise, I wouldn't have planned to touch them.

During the demonic tribulation, having an additional Golden Core family can divert some of the attention.

Only when my family is safe can I be safe.
