Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 324 Thunderclap! (2.4 words, first update, requesting monthly tickets and subscriptions!)

"Sigh~"

Mo Wenshang gasped in shock and exclaimed in disbelief, "Isn't that old ghost suffering from a severe injury to his soul and still in seclusion?!"

Isn't he afraid of worsening his injuries?!

Logically speaking, unless his sect is facing annihilation, he should never risk leaving seclusion.

Mo Wentian's gaze was deep, fixed on the southeast direction, as if he could penetrate the void. "In the current situation, although the Tiancang Sect has lost face and is in a passive position, it is far from being seriously injured or on the verge of extinction."

Although Aoki and Hyogan were suppressed, they were safe and sound.

Although Xi Fengyue and the others were at a disadvantage, their lives were not in immediate danger...

Why did he come here?

His mind raced, and combining the events of the day, a vague yet startling guess gradually surfaced in his mind: "Unless... Yunxi City, or rather Xu Chuan, possesses something he needs!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Wenshang was startled: "Brother, you mean... the item that Xu Chuan used to heal Chen Changge might be able to repair the soul essence of a Nascent Soul cultivator?!"

“Very likely!” Mo Wentian nodded slowly, his tone becoming increasingly solemn. “If Old Ghost Xi’s soul injury has truly been healed, then that would be quite bad.”

His lifespan is short; in his final decades, he might indiscriminately kill anyone who threatens the status of the Tiancang Sect and the Xi family!

Mo Wentian thought to himself, "We must not let them succeed. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to make Xu Chuan use the last favor he owes."

Just now.

A sudden change occurred on the southeastern horizon!
A golden beam of light, not dazzling but seemingly capable of swallowing up light, arrived at breakneck speed.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived above the battlefield.

As the light faded, an old man with a withered face, dressed in a simple gray robe, stood with his hands behind his back in the void.

His hair was sparse and gray, his face was covered with deep wrinkles, and his eyes were as deep as an ancient pool.

The aura of the Nascent Soul cultivator spread out, completely alarming everyone.

"finally come."

During the battle, Xu Chuan glanced at him and saw that although he looked much older than he had seen him in his younger days, he could confirm that he was Xi Daoyun, the Nascent Soul Grand Elder of the Tiancang Sect.

"The aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator?!"

"Could that be a Nascent Soul Grand Elder from the Heavenly Azure Sect?!"

"Wasn't he rumored to be severely injured and in seclusion? He actually came today?!"

"Yunxi City is in danger."

True Lord Qingmu and True Lord Bingqian showed no surprise, but Xi Fengyue and the others were greatly shocked.

"Elder, what brings him here?"

"Great! The Supreme Elder has arrived! Yunxi City is doomed to defeat!"

Xi Daoyun surveyed the battlefield, then glanced at Mo Wentian, but he didn't take Lei Wuji seriously at all.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, are you here to watch the show?"

“Indeed, Fellow Daoist Xi shouldn’t mind.” Mo Wentian chuckled.

Xi Daoyun is at the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and his peak strength is no less than that of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. He also possesses a top-tier magic weapon, while Mo Wentian has just entered the Nascent Soul realm and only has a high-grade magic weapon.

The number of supernatural powers he possesses is also incomparable to that of Xi Daoyun.

Therefore, even though he was severely injured, Mo Wentian did not dare to provoke him casually.

After all, the price might be something he couldn't afford.

Xi Daoyun ignored him and sneered, "My Tiancang Sect has truly declined. We mobilized so many elders, yet we couldn't even take down a single city!"

Qingmu Zhenjun and the other elders of the Tiancang Sect forced their opponents back and flew to Xi Daoyun's side, clasping their hands and saying, "It was our fault. Please calm down, Elder."

Ye Fan, Xu Deling, and the others gathered around Xu Chuan, watching the Tiancang Sect with wary expressions.

The same applies to Lord Lieyang and the others.

Upon seeing this, Xi Daoyun suddenly unleashed his oppressive aura, "What, does the Tianzhu Sect also want to interfere in the affairs of our Tiancang Prefecture? If you insist on meddling, don't blame me for not giving face to Fellow Daoists Yanlongzi and the other two."

Lord Lieyang remained motionless, his expression solemn.

"Very good!" Xi Daoyun shouted sharply.

Just then, Xu Chuan said with a faint smile, "Senior Xi, may I ask what brings you to my Yunxi City? Is it also to capture the so-called traitor?"

Xi Daoyun stared intently at Xu Chuan and asked calmly, "What methods did you use to cure Chen Changge?"

"What does this have to do with our seniors?"

Xu Chuan naturally understood why they had come; in fact, this was his plan to lure them out.

Accepting Chen Changge would be a slap in the face to the Tiancang Sect, and the Tiancang Sect would surely be furious.

Given this, Xi Daoyun would never leave seclusion.

However, Xu Chuan guessed that Qingmu Zhenjun should be able to guess that his method of treating Chen Changge was definitely not a supernatural power, but could only be an extremely precious elixir for treating injuries to the soul.

Just in case, there's a 40-50% chance he'll invite Xi Daoyun.

With this bait, Xi Daoyun will surely leave the pass.

The purpose of this scheme was threefold: first, to recruit Chen Changge; second, to intimidate the Tiancang Sect; and third, to intimidate, but specifically to intimidate the many Golden Core families of Tiancang City.

They are not vassals of the Tiancang Sect, but they have long been subservient to it and will not easily rebel. They might even rise up together at the slightest order from the Tiancang Sect.

Although Tiancang City does not have any powerful Golden Core families, the combination of many families still constitutes a very strong force.

Xu Chuan did not seek to win them over, but he wanted to use this battle to intimidate them and make them dare not easily obey the orders of the Tiancang Sect.

Or rather, it shattered the image of the invincible Tiancang Sect in their hearts.

Within the Tiancang Sect, there are at most a dozen or so Golden Core cultivators who are completely loyal to the sect; the rest have their own agendas.

For example, the Golden Core elders of the Cang family and the Liu family.

If the Xu family were to go to war with the Tiancang Sect, they might not necessarily give it their all.

Fourthly, it attracts some Golden Core families to settle in Yunxi City.

The stronger this kind of foundation, the stronger the entire Yunxi City will be.

Fifthly, he would invite Qi Daoyun to fight him.

Since his magical power was no longer a weakness and his spiritual sense had reached the perfect Golden Core stage, he no longer took ordinary Golden Core cultivators seriously.

Even True Monarchs who have reached the pinnacle of their Golden Core cultivation, such as True Monarch Qingmu and True Monarch Binggan, are no exception.

If they can cultivate their supernatural powers to perfection, they might earn Xu Chuan's favor.

Xu Chuan naturally wouldn't dare to provoke Xi Daoyun when he was at his peak.

They will not provoke the Tiancang Sect.

However, Xi Daoyun is now severely injured, with his soul broken and his strength less than half of what it used to be, yet he can become Xu Chuan's stepping stone.

If successful, more than one Golden Core family will relocate to Yunxi City.

Countless independent cultivators will also flock here, strengthening Yunxi City.

As for angering the Heavenly Azure Sect?

I'm sorry, even a Nascent Soul Grand Elder couldn't defeat Xu Chuan. Anyone else who dares to come will likely be easily killed by him.

Zhan Xidao's actions can also deter Mo Wentian, making him dare not easily make a move against the Xu family again!
They might even consider giving up the fight for the title of Lord of the Heavens.

After all, apart from his Nascent Soul ancestor, the Mo family's other resources were not enough to support their ambitions; they would need at least another hundred years of accumulation.

Previously, Mo Wentian had this idea after seeing Xi Daoyun severely injured and the Tiancang Sect in decline, and since he was the only intact Nascent Soul cultivator in the Tiancang Prefecture.

With the merits of this battle, when Mo Yue undergoes another tribulation, it will be able to solidify Yunxi City's position in Tiancang Prefecture.

Even if the Tiancang Sect puts up a stubborn resistance, it can only hold out for a short time.

"Hand over that pill, and I can decide to end this matter here."

"So, the dignified Nascent Soul Grand Elder of the Heavenly Azure Sect came here today just to snatch the junior's belongings." Xu Chuan shook his head and chuckled.

"Young man, are you trying to anger this old man?"

"If others were to act like their predecessors and simply rob what they want, what would be the point of developing their own power and forces, instead of waiting for others to come and plunder them?"
"Then we might as well plunder the fruits of others' labor!"

Xi Daoyun's face was ashen, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. "Junior, you've asked for your own death!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already made his move!
When a Nascent Soul cultivator gets angry, the weather changes drastically!

He didn't even need to use complex supernatural powers; with just a thought, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would respond accordingly.

A giant golden hand appeared out of thin air, its palm lines as clear as mountains and ravines, carrying a terrifying power that could shatter the void and seize the sun and moon, and descended upon Xu Chuan!

Even before the giant hand arrived, the overwhelming pressure caused the blood and qi of countless low-level cultivators watching the battle to surge, almost making them kneel down.

"Well done!"

Xu Chuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Far from being afraid, he let out a long roar, and the powerful magic power that had been suppressed for a long time around him was unleashed without reservation!

In an instant, a surge of immense magical power, as powerful as the Yangtze River, erupted from his golden core in his dantian and swept over his entire body!
The power of that magic was so profound and pure that it had clearly reached the realm of perfect Golden Core!
Although he was in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, he used the ancient and miraculous pill, the Withering and Flourishing Pill, to elevate his foundation to a level comparable to the perfect Golden Core realm.

It's fortunate that he achieved the Golden Core stage through supernatural abilities; otherwise, he would be comparable to the late Golden Core stage at most, if he were an ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Xuchuan's profound cultural heritage is unmatched by most in the entire Northwest.

At this point, there may be someone who can rival him, but once his realm breaks through to the late stage of Golden Core, or even the perfect stage, he will definitely be called the number one Golden Core cultivator in the Northwest.

"Azure Dragon Sword Formation, activate!"

Xu Chuan waved his hands rapidly, and the Azure Dragon Umbrella, which had been poised to strike, suddenly opened completely, condensing twenty-eight flying swords into a complete Azure Dragon Sword Formation!

Within the sword formation, the roar of a dragon shook the heavens, and the sword light crisscrossed and intertwined, forming a claw of a blue dragon that fiercely slammed towards the golden giant palm!
"He had something hidden!"

Aoki Shinjun looked at Xu Chuan with disbelief in his eyes!
The same applies to Bingqian Zhenjun, Xi Fengyue, and other elders of the Tiancang Sect.

"Boom——!!!"

Amidst a deafening roar, the Azure Dragon's Claw and the Golden Palm collided violently!

The anticipated scene of the sword formation being shattered by a single palm strike did not occur!

The giant golden palm was sliced ​​and worn down layer by layer by countless sharp and unparalleled sword lights, and its light quickly dimmed.

The stalemate lasted only a moment before the giant golden palm shattered and dissipated into countless golden specks of light!
Although the Azure Dragon Sword Formation trembled violently, it was not seriously damaged and remained coiled above Xu Chuan's head, emitting an astonishing dragon roar towards Xi Daoyun.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Xi Daoyun was forced back several feet in mid-air by the force of the recoil, and for the first time, astonishment appeared on his withered face.

Although he could not unleash his full power at this moment, he still possessed about 40-50% of his full strength.

That giant golden palm showed no mercy.

But now he has been directly confronted and defeated by a junior!

"Just as Aoki said, we must severely injure or even kill him!"

Xi Daoyun's eyes turned completely cold, revealing his murderous intent.

He no longer acted arrogantly, and with his right hand held together like a sword, he made a subtle gesture towards his dantian (energy center).

"Zheng——!"

A clear, sharp sword cry, seemingly capable of piercing the heavens, suddenly rang out.

A pure, platinum sword light shot out from his dantian and hovered in front of him.

As the sword flashed, an invincible, all-slicing sharp aura filled the air.

This is Xi Daoyun's natal magic weapon, the flying sword "Gengjin". It has been nurtured for over a thousand years and has now reached the pinnacle of a superior magic weapon. It is only a hair's breadth away from becoming a top-tier magic weapon!
"Geng metal breaks through the void, slash!"

As Xi Daoyun drew his sword technique, the "Gengjin" flying sword shone brightly with white light, instantly splitting into nine incredibly solid white-gold sword energies.

Like nine white rainbows tearing through the heavens and earth, accompanied by piercing shrieks, they attacked Xu Chuan from different angles!

Wherever the sword energy passed, faint black cracks were etched into the space.

Xu Chuan's expression was extremely solemn.

He felt that this attack alone could tear through the Azure Dragon Umbrella's defenses, so he could not sit idly by and wait to die.

"The tail of the Azure Dragon, turn!"

He activated the Azure Dragon Sword Formation with all his might, fiercely clashing with the nine white-gold sword energies.

The sounds of metal clashing were as dense as rain, each collision bursting with dazzling sparks and extinguishing light.

But it cannot completely resist!

"Chongxuan Seal, suppress!" Xu Chuan simultaneously summoned the Chongxuan Seal, which transformed into a small black mountain and smashed down on the three sword energies with immense force, relieving the pressure on the Azure Dragon Sword Formation.

But even this was only a barely manageable defense.

However, Xi Daoyun was already severely injured, so it was impossible for him to execute his sword technique without any flaws.

Waited for a while.

Just as the brilliance of the Azure Dragon Sword Formation was rapidly dimming and the "Chongxuan Seal" was wailing, Xu Chuan heard Xi Daoyun let out a muffled groan.

"It's now!"

"The Seal of Life and Death, First Activation!"

Xu Chuan suddenly formed an extremely profound hand seal. His left palm was ashen and lifeless, while his right palm was azure and full of life. He pressed his palms together towards Xi Daoyun's location from afar!
An invisible and intangible yet powerful energy containing the force of life and death instantly invaded Xi Daoyun's body, disregarding spatial distance!

Xi Daoyun's expression changed slightly!
He was already nearing his end, and then he suffered a severe injury, making it extremely difficult for him to maintain a balance between life and death.

Of course, ordinary people would not possess such mysterious abilities.

But Xu Chuan was able to do it. He used his life-and-death supernatural powers to disrupt the balance of life and death within his body, causing his magical power to stagnate.

If it cannot be suppressed, the balance between life and death will be broken, and the injury will flare up again!
He may be severely injured again!

"Damn it, what kind of method is this?!"

Xi Daoyun was both shocked and furious. He suppressed his injuries while intensifying his attacks, wanting to finish off Xu Chuan quickly.

"Godslayer Cone, break!"

Xu Chuan finally used the divine sense technique that he had never used before.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, thirty-two fine, hair-like silver needles of divine consciousness instantly condensed into silver spikes, piercing towards Xi Daoyun's sea of ​​consciousness with lightning speed.

"Ugh—!"

Caught off guard, Xi Daoyun let out a muffled groan of heart-wrenching pain!

His already injured and unhealed soul was ripped open by this perfectly timed attack of divine sense!
The excruciating pain made his vision go black, and his consciousness became momentarily blurred.

The control over the Gengjin Flying Sword instantly went out of control, the power of the nine platinum sword energies was greatly reduced, their light trembled wildly, and two of them were even close to collapsing.

"Azure Dragon Probes with Claws!"

Xu Chuan shouted sharply, activating the Azure Dragon Sword Formation with all his might!
A colossal dragon claw, carrying the power to tear the sky apart, slammed down on the nearly out-of-control platinum sword energy.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sword and claw clashed, and with each boom, a platinum sword aura was shattered!

The Gengjin Flying Sword let out a mournful cry, its light dimming as it flew back towards Xi Daoyun.

"puff--!"

As if struck by a heavy blow, Xi Daoyun spat out a mouthful of dark red blood mixed with a faint golden aura in mid-air.

His breath weakened at a visible rate, his face lost all color, and his already withered appearance became even more ashen.

The entire arena fell silent! Only the howling wind could be heard!

Everyone stared in disbelief at the Nascent Soul figure coughing up blood and retreating in the air, and at the white-robed youth who still stood tall, his aura fluctuating but his eyes burning.

My mind goes blank.

The Nascent Soul Ancestor actually suffered a great loss at the hands of a Golden Core cultivator.

Mo Wentian gasped, his pupils contracting to their maximum size.

The sword technique that Xi Daoyun used with his natal magic weapon, although not at its full power, still required Xi Daoyun, who was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, to defend against with all his might.

The elders of the Heavenly Cang Sect, including Qingmu and Bingqian, were ashen-faced, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"Young man... good, very good!" His voice was hoarse, and every word carried a chilling intent.

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Xi. I also think I did quite well," Xu Chuan replied with a faint smile.

He had just grasped the meaning of life and death, which could aggravate Xi Daoyun's injuries. He also had a secret technique of divine sense that could damage Xi Daoyun's soul at this moment. These two things alone made Xi Daoyun extremely wary.

As for the Azure Dragon Sword Formation, it was also quite powerful, indeed possessing an offensive force comparable to that of someone newly entering the Nascent Soul stage.

Of course, no one can compare to him, who reached the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage so early and honed his foundation and strength to a high degree.

Even though the Heavenly Demon Lord could fight Mo Wentian when he first entered the realm, he was severely injured in just a few moves against Xi Daoyun and could only flee in panic.

"Although he is not as good as the Heavenly Demon Lord, this boy is not much inferior. More importantly, he is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm."
Could it be that the Heavenly Azure Sect's fortunes have truly run their course, and the Heavenly Azure Prefecture is due for a change of dynasty?!

Immediately.

The cultivators at the East Gate erupted in a frenzy, as if a pot had been boiled over.

"I...I'm not seeing things, am I? A Nascent Soul cultivator...is vomiting blood?"

"It's more than just spitting blood! Didn't you see that the flying sword's spiritual light dimmed? It's clearly suffering a backlash!"

"To fight against a Nascent Soul cultivator with the body of a Golden Core cultivator! Even if the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Cang Sect had old injuries, this is still a miracle!"

"The number one person below the Nascent Soul stage? I'm afraid in another ten or twenty years, that will be the number one person in my Tiancang Prefecture!"

Countless spectators, whether they were independent cultivators, members of small families, or others, were flushed with excitement and unable to contain themselves.

Many young cultivators looked at Xu Chuan with even greater reverence and fervor.

On the distant mountains.

"Big brother..." Mo Wenshang's throat was a little dry, and his voice trembled slightly as he transmitted his thoughts, "He actually injured Xi Daoyun?!"
Although he was injured, a Nascent Soul cultivator is still a Nascent Soul cultivator…

Mo Wentian remained silent for a long time before slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air. He looked at Xu Chuan with an extremely complicated gaze and slowly said, "I'm afraid Xu Chuan will find it difficult to control himself any longer!"
He might not be waiting for True Monarch Qingmu and the others at all today, but rather for Xi Daoyun, this Nascent Soul Supreme Elder!

At the same time, he asked himself if he could kill Xu Chuan if he attacked him with all his might without any restraint.

The answer is: there's only a 40% chance of killing him, a 40% chance he'll escape, and a 20% chance of a draw. "Brother, after this battle, the name of True Monarch Ku Rong will once again resound throughout the entire Tian Cang Prefecture, and the prestige of Yunxi City will reach its peak. Then my Mo family..."

A ruthless glint flashed in Mo Wenshang's eyes. "Brother, why don't you launch a sneak attack?"

"If Xu Chuan doesn't die, my Mo family will never have a chance to become the master of Tiancang Prefecture!"

Looking into his expectant eyes, Mo Wentian sighed softly and finally said, "It's impossible."

"Why? As long as you launch a sneak attack while he's fighting Xi Daoyun, you can kill him outright, or at the very least severely injure him!"

"Because I cannot take the initiative to attack him."

Do not ask why the wound is full of incomprehension.

"This is the deal between him and me. He helped me form my Nascent Soul, and after I formed my Nascent Soul, I was unable to take the initiative to attack the Xu family and I owed the Xu family three favors."

Xu Chuan never provokes the Mo family, which is to give me no opportunity to take advantage of them.

And to this day, I still owe someone a favor!
I intended to force Xu Chuan to use it this time, but he actually managed to resist Old Ghost Xi on his own.

Mo Wenshang was deeply shaken upon hearing this.

He never imagined that his Mo family and Xu Chuan would have such a entanglement.

"Perhaps, it is time for my Mo family to take this opportunity to reconcile. If we continue to be at odds, we may truly be on opposite sides."

Mo Wentian thought to himself.

The Mo family and the Tiancang Sect are ultimately different. The Tiancang Sect is still the master of the Tiancang Prefecture. Anyone who wants to oust it will inevitably stand on the opposite side.

If the Mo family abandons its ambition to dominate, it will most likely be able to remain unscathed.

On the other side, Lei Wuji's eyes revealed a look of joy.

"Today's battle may be the turning point in the situation of Tiancang Prefecture. Tiancang Sect can no longer do anything to Yunxi City, and its general trend has already begun to take shape."

As long as we keep accumulating wealth, we will surely be able to change dynasties in the future!

"Perhaps a few hundred years from now, our Tiancang Prefecture will also produce a behemoth comparable to the Xuan Yue Sect!"

Lei Wuji immediately made a decision: once this battle was over, he would discuss an alliance with the Xu family.

"Young man... I don't believe it!"

With bloodshot eyes, Xi Daoyun let out a low roar and, disregarding his worsening injuries and chaotic internal energy, forced himself to attack again.

A vast, overwhelming storm of Gengjin light, composed of countless fine golden blades, condensed and swarmed towards Xu Chuan!

Xu Chuan used the Azure Dragon Horn and the "Double Profound Seal" to defend against its attack.

Then activate the Seal of Life and Death again.

If Xi Daoyun were at his peak, his divine power, which only contained a trace of the meaning of life and death, would naturally be unable to harm a Nascent Soul cultivator, and at most it would be effective against a Golden Core cultivator.

The ripples of life and death seeped into his body, which he was completely unable to resist. His injuries worsened again, causing him to groan.

Then came another divine sense technique, causing him to have a splitting headache and a flaw in his sword technique. Xu Chuan took the opportunity to break through the Gengjin Storm!

Twice in a row.

Xi Daoyun's injuries were already at a critical point; if he made another move, his injuries would definitely flare up.

Reason ultimately prevailed over the inner resentment.

He glanced at Xu Chuan, and without saying a word, he conjured a golden escape light and headed towards the Tiancang Mountains.

"Ancestor!"

"The Supreme Elder!"

Xi Fengyue and the others called out, a hint of sorrow appearing in their eyes.

When has the Heavenly Cang Sect ever been in such a sorry state!
But even the Supreme Elders were helpless against it, and were forced to flee. What else could they do?!
Aoki Shinjun glanced at Xu Chuan with a complicated expression, then sighed inwardly and said, "Let's go!"

Immediately, he and Bingqian Zhenjun transformed into two streaks of light, one green and one blue, and disappeared into the distance.

Xi Fengyue and the others followed closely behind.

"Master is mighty!" Ye Fan said with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.

"Grandfather is mighty!" Xu Deling and Xu Deyue smiled slightly, their elegance unparalleled.

"The Patriarch is mighty!" Huoyun Zhenren, Chen Changge, and Qingya Zhenren smiled and clasped their fists.

"The mighty Lord Ku Rong is truly awe-inspiring!"

Countless cultivators who were watching offered their congratulations.

"Thank you all. Today's matter is settled. From this moment on, Chen Changge will officially be a guest elder of the Xu family and the deputy city lord of Yunxi City. Please do not forget and never mention his past as an elder of the Tiancang Sect again."

We will remember this!

At this moment, Lei Wuji suddenly transmitted his voice and said, "Fellow Daoist Kurong, may I come to your residence for a visit?"

Xu Chuan smiled faintly and replied via telepathy, "Fellow Daoist Lei Ji's arrival is an honor for my Xu family."

"Let's go, let's go back."

“Grandfather, I will return to Tianling Sect with Senior Brother Lieyang and the others.”

"can."

Xu Deling and Master Lieyang left together.

The rest followed Xu Chuan and flew towards the inner city.

Mo Wentian frowned slightly when he saw Lei Wuji following along.

"Brother, what's Lei Wuji doing here?"

"The Xu family has just established its power, and the Lei family has probably completely given up on the idea of ​​vying for supremacy and intends to lend the Xu family a hand."

"Although the Lei family's foundation is not as strong as our other three families, it is still considerable. If he assists the Xu family, then my Mo family will..."

"You no longer need to concern yourself with this matter. Focus on developing Jade Bamboo City and the Mo family."

"Got it, big brother."

With Mo Wentian, an early-stage Nascent Soul ancestor, the Mo family always has a solid foundation, so even if they want to do what the Lei family did, they don't need to rush.

The situation is changing; perhaps a turning point is on?
Huoyun Zhenren and Qingya Zhenren returned to the Refining Hall and the Formation Hall, respectively.

Chen Changge returned to the city lord's mansion to handle affairs.

Ye Fan and his wife returned to the Xu residence for quiet meditation.

Xu Chuan, meanwhile, was entertaining Lei Wuji in the main hall of the Xu residence.

"Fellow Daoist Lei Ji, please have a seat and serve tea."

After Xu Chuan finished speaking, a Qi Refining maidservant soon entered with spiritual tea, placing a cup on each of the tea tables beside Xu Chuan and Lei Wuji before bowing and leaving.

Lei Wuji took a small sip, smiled faintly, and praised, "The spiritual energy is rich, the tea is fragrant, it is bitter at first but sweet later, leaving a lingering aftertaste."

"Excellent tea!"

"Fellow Daoist Lei Ji is too kind." Xu Chuan also took a small sip and continued, "Fellow Daoist Lei Ji, if you have something to discuss with me, please speak frankly."

"Hahaha." Lei Wuji laughed heartily, "Then I, Lei, will speak frankly."

"Fellow Daoist Kurong has defeated the Supreme Elder of the Tiancang Sect today, causing the Tiancang Sect to lose face. From now on, the two sides will definitely fight to the death."

Lei intends to lead the Lei family to help Yunxi City fight against the Tiancang Sect.

Fellow Daoist Ku Rong, what are your thoughts?

"The Lei family has given up?"

"I have no choice but to give up." Lei Wuji smiled bitterly. "My Lei family has neither produced a Nascent Soul Ancestor like the Mo family, nor has the Xu family produced so many geniuses, with Fellow Daoist Kurong overseeing things."

It is also unlike the Heavenly Azure Sect, which has a profound foundation.

Xu Chuan's smile remained unchanged. "Then why not choose the Mo family? The Mo family has produced a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!"

"The Mo family." A cold smile appeared on Lei Wuji's lips. "If it weren't for good luck, the Mo family's foundation wouldn't be as good as my Lei family's."

Aside from Mo Wentian, they couldn't even muster a True Monarch with fully mastered supernatural powers.

"Unlike Fellow Daoist Ku Rong and your Xu family." His face instantly lit up with a smile. "Your disciple has just formed his core, yet he can already fight against late-stage Golden Core cultivators."

The "Phoenix Feather" fairy is probably now being called the "Phoenix Feather" True Lord; even I might not be able to gain the upper hand against her.

That's true; the magical powers and supernatural abilities of both are roughly the same.

However, Xu Deling possessed more than one high-grade magic weapon, which was something Lei Wuji could not compare to.

Here, she also possesses the secret art of divine sense, but she cultivates the divine sense weapon hammer, which is extremely difficult. She has only just begun to understand it and can barely condense it into a form.

But if it reaches a minor level, this Divine Sense Hammer becomes terrifying.

If they are at the same level, one blow would probably knock them out; even if they are at a higher level, they could still severely injure their opponent.

"Fairy Hanyue is also remarkable, her strength is close to that of a True Monarch level expert." Lei Wuji praised everyone, "In addition, she has also recruited three guest elders."

One was a master craftsman, one a master of formations, and the other was once a renowned genius.

Xu Chuan chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Lei Ji, if you keep praising me like this, I'm afraid I'll be praised to death."

"In short, I, Lei, wish to represent the Lei family in forming an alliance with the Xu family. Fellow Daoist Kurong, do you agree?"

Xu Chuan pondered for a moment and said, "This should be your personal idea, Fellow Daoist Lei Ji. Of course, if the Lei family wants to help my Xu family, my Xu family will naturally welcome it."

However, Mr. Xu has three conditions; you should listen to them first before we discuss further.

"Fellow Daoist Ku Rong, please speak."

"First, go back and hold a clan meeting to obtain the consent of the remaining elders and the vast majority of core members of the Lei family."

Secondly, within ten years, the Lei family will be at the beck and call of my Xu family. In return, my Xu family can ask the Tianling Sect to forge a top-grade magic weapon for you, Fellow Daoist Lei Ji.

You will need to prepare the materials yourselves.

Third, Fellow Daoist Lei Ji, you must reside in Yunxi City for the next ten years to facilitate the Xu family's use of you.

Upon hearing this, Lei Wuji remained silent.

After a short while, he said, "I understand. I will return to my clan to discuss this, and then come to Yunxi City when I have definite news."

Xu Chuan nodded slightly and had someone escort Lei Wuji out.

outside.

The battle between Yunxi City and Tiancang Sect at the East Gate has caused a huge uproar.

As for Xu Chuan's fierce battle against the Nascent Soul Grand Elder of the Tiancang Sect, it was circulated in an almost mythical manner.

Some say that Xu Chuan made Xi Daoyun vomit blood in just a few moves, while others say that Xu Chuan suppressed the Nascent Soul cultivator with one hand!

The news quickly spread throughout the entire Tiancang Prefecture.

This also shocked the entire Tiancang Prefecture.

Many members of the aristocratic families were restless.

Tiancang City.

Yan family.

"I never expected such a major event to occur in Yunxi City. True Monarch Kurong is truly an unparalleled genius. His strength has improved so much in such a short time."

We can't wait any longer. Yunxi City will inevitably become the center of Tiancang Prefecture in the future, and a decision needs to be made as soon as possible.

That very day, the Yan family patriarch convened a clan meeting.

The Yan family's council hall.

At the head of the table, on a large seat carved from a single piece of solid black jade, sat Yan Nantian, the patriarch of the Yan family, in a solemn and dignified manner.

Although his hair and beard were white and his face was thin, his back was straight as a pine tree, and his eyes, which opened and closed, shone with a sharp light. At this moment, he was slowly scanning the core members of the family who were sitting on both sides below.

Everyone here is at least in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Many of them were elders who had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage and were over 150 or 160 years old.

Yan Han, Yan Qing, and a group of other young but exceptionally talented individuals were also present.

Although Yan Kuangtu is a junior here, as the strongest person below the Golden Core Ancestor of the Yan family, his status is even higher than that of the family head and the Grand Elder.

He sat in the first seat to Yan Nantian's left.

His current strength is comparable to that of a prodigy who has mastered 70% of the basic divine abilities.

If he were to study this for several more decades, he might be able to reach 80-90% completion, and there would be a sliver of hope that he could achieve supernatural powers and form a core.

Yan Kuangtu is hailed as the future successor of the Yan family, and everyone hopes that he can achieve the Core Formation and replace the Yan family patriarch.

After all, the patriarch of the Yan family only has less than a hundred years left to live.
