Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 456 Arrangements, Guest Elder

"I have only been traveling in the Greedy Wolf Mansion for a short time. Who exactly is this person? Judging from his cultivation level and aura, he seems to be only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm."

"I see," said the elder of the Greedy Wolf Sect. "He is True Monarch Ku Rong, named Xu Chuan!"

Its reputation must have spread throughout the entire Northwest.

"I had heard about it during my travels, but I thought it was just a rumor. How strong can a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator be?"

"Yes, everyone thinks so, but the True Lord of Withering and Flourishing is a monster far beyond what ordinary people can imagine."

"Here they come again," Mei Yun called out.

The two dared not continue to fight Xu Chuan head-on.

At this moment, Qi Tianxiong roared in fury, "Xu Chuan, if you kill my Greedy Wolf Sect elder, I, the sect master, will surely storm your Yunxi City!"

He unleashed a slash of axe light, shattering the "Azure Dragon Sword".

Xu Chuan didn't care at all, and simply responded with a faint smile.

"Xi Daoyun committed suicide alone in my Yunxi City, and now the grass on his grave is already three feet high!"

Qi Tianxiong was so angry that his face turned ashen.

However, with Mo Yue entangled, he was unable to free his hands to kill Xu Chuan in a short time.

Moreover, he was even more worried about the Heavenly Wolf True Monarch who was being pursued by Gu Xuanyou.

“Good opportunity, Fellow Daoist Yun, come with me. You have offended Xu Chuan.”

"Of the vast Greedy Wolf Manor, perhaps only my sect can now protect you."

"Alright! May I ask your name, friend?"

"My surname is Ding, and I am an elder of the Greedy Wolf Sect."

The two immediately flew away into the distance.

The other elders of the Greedy Wolf Sect naturally did not dare to linger, and they all seized the opportunity to escape.

In the blink of an eye.

Only Qi Tianxiong remained.

However, not long after.

Sirius True Monarch fled back, shouting, "Sect Master, save me!"

Knowing that he could not completely get rid of Gu Xuanyou, he turned back and went back to find Qi Tianxiong.

"What a piece of trash."

Qi Tianxiong cursed under his breath as he gripped his battle axe and unleashed a massive black axe beam that stretched for tens of feet.

Mo Yue dared not confront its sharp edge and chose to retreat.

Qi Tianxiong flashed and arrived beside Tianlang Zhenjun, "Get out of my way."

His next axe strike was not as powerful as the previous one.

However, Gu Xuanyou was also forced back.

It is clear that there is still a certain gap in strength between the two.

"Gu Xuanyou, Xu Chuan, I will remember this grudge. You just wait!"

He grabbed Sirius's shoulder and used his escape technique to flee.

They disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Sect Master Qi actually retreated; this is the first time the Greedy Wolf Sect has suffered a setback."

"Didn't you see that there are nearly three Nascent Soul level warriors on this side of Guyou City?!"

"Ancient Nether City, the Greedy Wolf Sect, and the Greedy Wolf Mansion can only accommodate one power. It seems that chaos is about to break out here as well."

"The chaos in Canglong Prefecture was quelled by the Xu family. I wonder if such a force will emerge in Tanlang Prefecture."

"You're overthinking it. The Xu family is extremely rare, perhaps one in a thousand years."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Seeing that the battle was over, they also planned to leave immediately.

Gu Xuanyou suddenly laughed and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, fellow Daoists. Only one of my Guyou City and the Greedy Wolf Sect can remain."

We, the tyrannical wolves, have suffered greatly. If any of you wish to break free from the rule of the Greedy Wolf Sect, you may come to Ancient Nether City to form an alliance.

"Our ancient Youcheng will surely restore a bright and clear world to the Greedy Wolf Mansion!"

Then, he said to Xu Chuan, "Fellow Daoist Xu, let's go back to Ancient You City."

Xu nodded and left with him.

The rest of the people also left looking preoccupied.

halfway.

Xu Chuan suddenly stopped.

"Lord Gu, I need to return to Canglong Mansion to prepare for breaking the Tanlang Sect's grand formation in the future."

I've asked Mo Yue and Ming Xuan to stay in Guyou City for the time being.

Gu Xuanyou thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, then Fellow Daoist Xu, please go and return soon."

Xu Chuan nodded slightly and flew towards the Azure Dragon Mansion.

Gu Xuanyou didn't think much of it.

However, these are just his excuses.

The matter of breaking the formation naturally requires Xu Mingxian's assistance, but why would he need to return in person to inform him?

He suddenly transformed into an old man with white hair and changed into a black robe.

Then they headed to Shanhai City.

They swaggered into the city.

Soon after, Xu Chuan realized that Xiao Zhan had returned to Shanhai City and immediately contacted him telepathically.

Xiao Zhan's heart stirred, and he immediately said to the other three elders of the Chamber of Commerce, "You all go back first. I still have some things to take care of."

The group exchanged glances, clasped their hands in greeting, and said, "Yes, Chairman."

Xiao Zhan holds absolute power within the Demon Heaven Chamber of Commerce.

He was the only one in the entire chamber of commerce who had reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and he had now achieved great mastery of supernatural powers, possessing a high-grade magic weapon.

With the supply of cultivation resources from the entire chamber of commerce, his strength has been steadily increasing over the years.

We are now close to the late stage of the eighth level of the Golden Core realm.

After several decades or even a hundred years, reaching the perfection of the Golden Elixir should not be a problem.

He disguised himself and concealed his presence before arriving at an inn to meet up with Xu Chuan.

Inside the private room.

Upon entering, Xiao Zhan immediately bowed and greeted the Lord.

"No need for formalities."

After speaking, Xu Chuan flicked his sleeves, setting up another layer of restrictions inside the private room.

"Sit down."

"Yes."

Xiao Zhan quickly asked, "What business does Your Majesty have summoned me for?"

But should the Chamber of Commerce inquire about the White Bone Immortal's cave at the Greedy Wolf Mansion?

Xu Chuan shook his head, picked up a piece of food, took a simple bite, and casually said, "It's not quite satisfactory."

"It's not as good as the Yellow Crane Tower of my Xu family in Yunxi."

"How can Shanhai City compare to the prosperity of Yunxi City? However, I will do my best to improve it and strive to catch up with it."

Xiao Zhan felt somewhat uneasy.

"There's no need to be so apprehensive. That's not what I meant. I'm here to inform you that it's time to elevate the Demon Heaven Chamber of Commerce to a higher level."

"Reach a higher level?" Xiao Zhan looked up and said, "Lord, the Chamber of Commerce is now second only to the Greedy Wolf Sect, the Ancient Nether City, and the three great families."

To go further.

Unless we recruit more late-stage Golden Core experts, or even Golden Core Perfection cultivators.

However, this would significantly reduce the subordinates' control within the chamber of commerce.

"Let me introduce you to someone first." Xu Chuan smiled faintly, brushing his hand over his storage ring.

A skeleton dressed in a black robe appeared in the private room.

"Is this a skeleton puppet? Could it be that the Lord obtained it from that fake cave?"

It looks quite extraordinary.

"Your Majesty is truly blessed with boundless good fortune."

"Idiot." Master White Bone said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, compared to you, everyone else is simply a fool."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "This is an elder of my Xu family, and from now on he will be my representative in the Greedy Wolf Mansion."

When I am gone, he will become the Demon Lord.

In private, you can call him Mr. Bone.

Upon hearing this, the White Bone Immortal was startled and turned to look at Xu Chuan, but his empty eye sockets only had two flickering ghostly flames.

Xiao Zhan was also deeply troubled and began to doubt the identity of the skeletal puppet.

Someone who can be treated this way by Xu Chuan is no ordinary person.

Xu Chuan looked at the Bone Immortal and asked, "Fellow Daoist Bone, are you willing to accept this arrangement?"

"You've established forces within the Greedy Wolf Mansion; are you aiming to seize control of this place?"

"It's not just a thought; the plan is already underway, and it will develop as I envisioned."

The Demon Heaven Chamber of Commerce will surely stand out in this chaotic situation.

In one fell swoop, it became the strongest force in the Greedy Wolf Mansion.

Whether the other two Nascent Soul forces can be completely wiped out depends on how things ultimately unfold.

"You're playing a long game."

The White Bone Immortal said quietly, "Since you have arranged it this way, I have no reason not to accept it."

Xu Chuan nodded slightly and looked at the Bone Master for a moment, "However, this won't do."

Since Fellow Daoist Bone is skilled in illusion techniques, why not perform one?

"Naturally."

A faint, eerie light rose from the body of the White Bone Immortal.

A short while later.

When Xu Chuan and Xiao Zhan looked at him, he had become a white-haired young man.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Bone, you still care about your image."

"Since you're going to be some kind of Demon Lord, I think the appearance of a white-haired youth is quite suitable."

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Bone." Xiao Zhan clasped his hands in greeting to the Bone Immortal.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, you are skilled in weapon crafting, formations, illusions, and puppets. From now on, you should first replace the great formation of Shanhai City."

In their spare time, they can also refine weapons and craft puppets, which can be used as products of the merchant guild or exchanged by its disciples.

"What a hassle, fine then," said the White Bone Master, pursing his lips.

"By the way, what is your current strength? I need to know roughly so I can make further arrangements."

"This skeletal body is much stronger than a typical mid-grade defensive magic weapon."

It is difficult to damage even the slightest bit under the influence of a superior magic weapon.

I can still use my supernatural powers and spells, but in my current state, I'm not good at fighting.

It's only slightly stronger than the Golden Core stage or the Divine Power stage.

"Can the magic weapon still be used?"

Master Baigu naturally knew that Xu Chuan was referring to his previous top-tier magic weapon.

"It can be barely controlled, but it's difficult to unleash its full potential; at most, it can only be used with a high-grade magic weapon."

"Xu understands."

"I will leave these two items with you for now, and you can summon them when necessary."

Xu Chuan handed the Yin Corpse Bag and the "Thousand Soul Banner" to the White Bone Master.

The White Bone Immortal's pupils contracted.

"Without these two, how could one become the Demon Lord?"

"With the two of them, it is indeed fitting for this position, but I am afraid that I will not be able to control them."

"Don't worry, they don't dare to betray me yet, and they also know that they can get greater benefits by following me."

I've already made arrangements: don't disturb them normally, just summon them when it's time for a crucial battle.

The White Bone Immortal nodded.

"Actually, with your resources, there's a good chance you could directly flatten the Greedy Wolf Mansion. Why go through all this trouble?"

"The Greedy Wolf Mansion's plan was already set before they advanced, and if my Xu family becomes too powerful..."

It will only unite the entire Greedy Wolf Mansion.

Just like the previous battle between the two prefectures, the strength of the Greedy Wolf Sect forced my entire Azure Dragon Prefecture to fight back with all its might.

Moreover, in terms of overall strength, the Greedy Wolf Mansion is still superior to my Azure Dragon Mansion.

"If the casualties are too high, it will be detrimental to the future development of my Xu family."

Master Baigu sighed, "It seems that everything is truly a pawn in your Xu family's development plan."

"If this world does not move forward, it will gradually perish."

"That's true. It applies to both survival of a power and cultivation."

Xu Chuan smiled faintly, then added, "By the way, since Fellow Daoist Gu is skilled in puppetry..."

I possess an ancient puppetry technique; I wonder if you'd be interested.

"Ancient heritage? You're willing to give it up?"

"Since it is an elder of my Xu family, it naturally has the right to exchange it, but this is extremely valuable and precious."

Mr. Xu may decide to give you the information about puppets below the third rank.

"What happens next depends on the contributions you make to the Xu family, fellow Daoist."

"How many levels can this puppetry technique reach?"

"What I have is only a portion, but it can be used to refine fifth-order puppets. The art of puppetry is profound and extensive."

Unfortunately, Mr. Xu currently has no time to attend to both, as cultivation, alchemy, supernatural powers, and secret techniques all require a considerable amount of time.

"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Xu. I will help you manage the Demon Heaven Chamber of Commerce well."

A moment later, Xu Chuan took out the corresponding jade slip and handed it to the White Bone Master.

The resentment that Bai Gu Shangren felt towards Xu Chuan for forcing him to acknowledge him as a master dissipated by the moment.

"Intelligent, resourceful, generous, patient, and blessed with great fortune."

If someone like that doesn't become an absolute powerhouse, even the heavens would be outraged.

Master Baigu began to look forward to Xu Chuan's future.

Maybe I'll benefit from this and one day escape my current predicament.

He returned to the path of spiritual practice.

If there can be ghost cultivators and corpse cultivators in the world, then why can't there be bone cultivators?!

"Xiao Zhan, Fellow Daoist Gu's identity cannot be revealed at present. You can treat him as a guest elder recruited by your Demon Heaven Chamber of Commerce."

As you can see, the current situation between the Greedy Wolf Sect and the Ancient Nether City is inevitable; a battle between the two is bound to happen.

The Demon Heaven Chamber of Commerce is a powerful force, and both sides will inevitably try to win them over.

Don't rush to agree.

You can ask for an exorbitant amount of benefits upfront.

Finally, it is…

Xu Chuan briefly explained his plan.

"Your subordinate has remembered."

"Here, take this back."

Xu Chuan returned the ring to the White Bone Immortal.

He had already taken what he needed from inside, and left behind two top-grade magic treasures.

"You may leave." Xu Chuan flicked his sleeve and released the restrictions on the private room.

Xiao Zhan and the White Bone Master both clasped their hands in greeting and left.

On the road.

Xiao Zhan smiled and said to him, "Fellow Daoist Gu, please give me your guidance in the future."

Master Baigu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, Fellow Daoist Xu has been very open with you. I suppose you are also under his control."

Xiao Zhan trembled upon hearing this. "So what if it is? But the Lord has never used this to force me to do anything."

Without the Venerable One's support, I, Xiao, would only be an ordinary late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

"Fellow Daoist Xu is indeed generous and cautious enough. It seems that the Greedy Wolf Mansion will not escape his grasp."

"By the way, Your Excellency said you are skilled in formations, weapon crafting, and puppetry. I wonder what level you have reached in each of these areas?"

The White Bone Immortal smiled and looked at him, "Do you think I am the kind of person who does many things but is not good at them?"

If that's the case, Fellow Daoist Xu won't insist on taking me in to work for him!

Since they are all his confidants, it won't hurt to tell you.

My mastery of formations is the highest, making me a half-step fourth-tier formation master. Next is my mastery of puppetry, making me a peak third-tier puppet master.

Currently specializing in bone puppets.

Finally, there is the art of weapon crafting. After years of study, I have only just reached the level of crafting mid-grade magic weapons.

As for this illusion technique, it also has a third-tier level.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan's eyes widened immediately. "Is that really true?"

He suddenly felt speechless, and after a moment he said again, "No wonder the Lord made you his spokesperson."

Bone Daoist is a rare genius in this world.

Xiao conceded defeat.

"If you spend more time, you might have a chance to reach my level."

"Fellow Daoist Gu is joking. I am self-aware and only know some basic alchemy and weapon-refining techniques."

It's not presentable.

Knowing it would take too much time, he simply gave up on everything and focused solely on cultivation, improving his realm and strength.

“This is a wise choice,” said the White Bone Master. “Alright, enough of this small talk.”

Tell me about the current situation of the Demon Heaven Merchant Guild.

After eating and drinking his fill, Xu Chuan left the inn.

Several days later, they returned to the ancient city of You.

The incident of the White Bone Immortal's fake cave dwelling has had a significant lingering impact on the Greedy Wolf Mansion.

Many cities are discussing the exact location of his true cave dwelling.

Apart from that.

It concerns the falling out between the Ancient Nether City and the Greedy Wolf Sect in front of the fake cave.

This matter caused quite a stir, even overshadowing the true and false caves of the White Bone Immortal.

Many independent cultivators sensed an impending great battle. Some wanted to retreat, while others sought to profit from the chaos.

This marks a reshuffling of power within the Greedy Wolf Mansion.

"Who do you think will ultimately win the battle between Ancient Nether City and the Greedy Wolf Sect?"

“In the past, even if the ancient city lord had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, I would have been certain that the Greedy Wolf Sect would have been superior.”

However, the Xu family of Canglong Prefecture intervened and helped to restrain Sect Master Qi, who was even suppressed.

"Then let's consider both sides."

"Yes, without the advantage of the mid-Nascent Soul stage, we can only rely on the foundation of the Golden Core stage."

Even though the Greedy Wolf Sect is still stronger, the Withered Glory True Monarch is a variable.

He alone can change the course of the Golden Core battle!

"Those who follow the righteous path will find many supporters, while those who stray from it will find few. Who made the Greedy Wolf Sect so domineering and powerful in the past?"

However, they were unable to destroy the Xu family, which was still in its weak stage.

Now that the Xu family has grown up, it's only natural that they want revenge.

If I were in Xu Jiajing's shoes, I would also help Guyou City deal with the Greedy Wolf Sect.

However, it's likely that Gu Youcheng and the Xu family made a deal.

Otherwise, no one would risk their safety to oppose a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Suddenly, another middle-aged rogue cultivator spoke up, "Do you all think the Xu family will take this opportunity to invade the Greedy Wolf Mansion?"

"Judging from the fact that only the True Lord of Withering and Flourishing and the Great Demon in human form are involved, it seems that they are settling personal scores."

"That's right, the city lord isn't stupid either, he probably won't give the Xu family that chance."

I've heard that the Xu family mainly engages in business; perhaps they promised them some kind of benefit to expand the Greedy Wolf Mansion's trading company.

The Greedy Wolf Sect has many eyes and ears outside, and many of the opinions of independent cultivators are transmitted back to the Greedy Wolf Sect.

above the hall.

Qi Tianxiong was furious.

The Heavenly Wolf True Monarch and the other Golden Core elders below were filled with unease.

Sirius was seriously injured last time, and has only recovered less than halfway.

"Guyou City has endured for many years, but now, with Xu Chuan's help, it has finally torn off its mask."

"What do you all think about what should be done next?"

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Tianlang Zhenjun said, "Sect Master, at present, our strength is roughly equal to that of Guyou City."

A hasty and all-out war, even if victorious, would be a Pyrrhic victory.

We must win over the various Golden Core cultivators within the Greedy Wolf Mansion, as well as those rogue Golden Core cultivators.

"That's inevitable; who would want to make that trip?"

The group looked at each other.

Qi Tianxiong said, "Tianlang is still seriously injured. Yunyou, you can go and persuade him."

You can try to entice them with benefits.

If it's convenient to tap, then tap it a bit, but be careful not to overdo it and make things worse.

"Yun You obeys."

"Sect Master, I received assistance from a rogue cultivator surnamed Yun in the last battle. Is it possible to recruit him and make him a guest elder of our sect?"

"I vaguely remember you. You were a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator who used a mid-grade seal-type magic weapon."

His strength was average, but his magic weapons were all quite good, even among mid-grade magic weapons.

Who is he?

“His name is Yunmei. He traveled to the Greedy Wolf Mansion more than a year ago. I don’t know much else about him.”

"Then let's investigate. If there's nothing wrong, we can recruit him. With that magic weapon, he can barely be considered a peak mid-stage Golden Core fighter."

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Elder Ding clasped his hands in a fist salute and retreated back into the crowd.

Qi Tianxiong glanced around and said, "Elder Ding is thinking of the sect's future by recruiting Golden Core guest elders."

The elders also tried their best to do so.

It's not necessary to recruit them; as long as they help, the sect leader will certainly reward them generously afterward.

Even if you wish to join our sect, that is perfectly acceptable.

"Yes, Sect Master."

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you may leave."

The group bowed and left.

Elder Ding returned to his cave and asked Mei Yun, "Fellow Daoist Yun, how are your injuries?"

"That's about enough. I should take my leave in a couple of days."

Elder Ding's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled gently, "Fellow Daoist Yun, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I haven't yet repaid your life-saving grace."

"It was just a coincidence, a small favor. We'll have another drink together another time."

Elder Ding stroked his white beard. "What are your plans, fellow Daoist?"

"It seems that the Greedy Wolf Mansion is about to descend into chaos, so I, Yun, intend to leave this place."

"Has Fellow Daoist Yun never thought about settling down somewhere? Although wandering cultivators can also obtain opportunities while traveling around."

But unless you're extremely lucky, you'll reap very little reward.

Otherwise, the world's strongest individuals wouldn't be concentrated in the hands of those major sects and powerful forces.

Mei Yun pondered for a moment, her eyes flashing slightly.

Elder Ding smiled and continued, "Joining a powerful force is always more secure than wandering around on your own."

"Brother Ding, do you mean you want me to join your sect? But aren't sects very strict about recruiting members?"

"Indeed, but times have changed. If you are interested, you can become a guest elder first."

If one can achieve meritorious service in subsequent battles, one should be able to directly join the sect and formally become an elder.

"This..." Mei Yun hesitated for a moment, "I need to think about this matter carefully."

How about I get back to you in a few days?

"That's natural. During this time, Fellow Daoist Yun has settled down in my cave dwelling with peace of mind."

"If you'd like to stroll around the sect, I can have a disciple arrange it."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

a few days later.

News gathered by the Greedy Wolf Sect has arrived that Yunmei did indeed appear more than a year ago.

He wandered around the Greedy Wolf Mansion, and stayed in each city for a while.

They definitely look like tourists.

Elder Ding intended to inform Qi Tianxiong about this matter, but was told that he was out on business.

Therefore, he went to find the True Lord of Heavenly Wolf.

"Since the sect leader is visiting friends, and Yunmei doesn't seem to have any major problems, then we should recruit her."

After a pause, True Lord Tianlang added, "When he becomes a guest elder, bring him to see me."

I need to observe it more carefully.

"Yes, Elder Sirius."

Three days later.

Mei Yun officially became a guest elder of the Greedy Wolf Sect.

Although Sirius True Lord had some doubts, no matter how he observed, he could not find any flaws in him.

In this current battle, the Heavenly Wolf Sect must also win over the other Golden Core cultivators.

Otherwise, they would inevitably be at a disadvantage in the struggle against the ancient Youcheng.

"Fellow Daoist Yunmei, congratulations on becoming a guest elder of my Greedy Wolf Sect. I hope you can perform well in the upcoming battles."

May he be promoted to a full elder as soon as possible.

Want to be promoted to a permanent position soon?

Then I'm afraid I won't be able to wait any longer.

Mei Yun smiled and cupped her hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, Elder Tianlang."

"I hope I'm not overthinking it."

Sirius True Lord watched Mei Yun's retreating figure and murmured to himself.

After leaving, Mei Yun returned to the cave dwelling she had been assigned.

After two or three days of quiet meditation, I would go out for some fresh air.

When asked, he would say that he was getting familiar with the sect's environment and sometimes chatting with other elders.

Elder Yun.

When Elder Li Yang of the Greedy Wolf Sect saw Mei Yun, he went up to greet her.

"Elder Li Yang," Mei Yun said with a smile, "I heard you left the sect, didn't you?"

"Elder Yunyou's efforts to win over the three great families were unsuccessful, so he invited me to go with him."

Unfortunately, they remained hesitant.

As he spoke, his expression turned cold. "Decades ago, with just a word from my Greedy Wolf Sect, they would obediently come to our sect."

"What about the other Golden Core forces?" Mei Yun asked. "If we could win them over, they would be a formidable fighting force, wouldn't they?"

"They're just opportunists, but we can only intimidate them while trying to win them over."

"I have been traveling around the Greedy Wolf Mansion for a long time and have heard that there is a newly emerging force under the three great families, called the Demon Heaven Chamber of Commerce."

They seem to be growing very quickly.

"It's just a group of independent cultivators banding together, but Xiao Zhan's strength has indeed improved a lot."

Last time he went, Elder Yunyou was actually overwhelmed by his aura.

Elder Yunyou said that he may have achieved great success in supernatural powers.

I have no idea what incredible luck he had!

"Gu You City is probably trying to win them over too. By the time the situation becomes clear, it will probably be time for a major battle to begin."

“Who says otherwise?” Elder Li Yang said, “Fellow Daoist Yun, you’re quite familiar with your sect, aren’t you?”

"I've gotten a general understanding of it over the past few days, on and off."

"Elder Li Yang, please speak frankly."

"I would like to ask where you got that great seal magic weapon. It is not only a combination of offense and defense, but also seems to be of very good quality."

"That was something I asked a friend to help me refine when I was in Xuan Yue City. It took a long time to collect the materials back then."

The story of Mei Yun was made up on the spot.

"Elder Yun, do you know any weapon refiners with such skill? Would you be so kind as to introduce me?"

"Elder Li Yang wants to exchange for a magic weapon?"

Elder Yun also knows that a good magic weapon can greatly enhance one's strength.

Take the True Lord Ku Rong, for example. He already possessed a top-grade magic weapon like the "Azure Dragon Umbrella" at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Only then can one quickly become famous.

Later, he obtained another high-grade magic treasure, a large seal.

Thus, he roamed freely among those who had reached the Golden Core stage, his name resounding throughout the Heavenly Azure Palace.

Mei Yun nodded slightly, "That's a good point. Let's wait until this great battle is over."

"It's a word."

Li Yang left satisfied.

Mei Yun looked at the mountain peaks in front of her, taking in the scenery, and thought to herself, "Tonight I will be able to explain things to my master."

That night.

"Xu's Grotto Heaven".

Xu Chuan, Mei Yun, Xu Mingxuan, and Xu Mingxian gathered together.

"Mei Yun, show me the map of the Greedy Wolf Sect."

"Yes, Master."

Mei Yun also used her divine sense to draw upon spiritual energy and construct a miniature map of the Greedy Wolf Sect.

Shrink to a radius of 100 meters.

It mainly features a geographical layout, including mountains, forests, and lakes; as for buildings, there are only a few scattered ones.

In addition, there is also the sect's grand formation.

"Well done."

"This is all I can do. If I were to inquire about the situation of the great formation, I would probably be placed under close surveillance immediately."

Even so, this disciple still feels that True Lord Sirius seems to harbor some doubts about me.

"People are always suspicious. In the past, they would have simply expelled people, but now, the Greedy Wolf Sect can only try to win over as many people as possible."

Golden Core cultivators are an indispensable pillar of strength.

Next, Xu Chuan looked at Ming Xian, wondering if he could use this to deduce the location of the formation base.

"It's unlikely that we can predict all of them, but it's still possible if we only predict a few."

But it won't take a short time.

"Don't worry, your father and Mingxuan will lend you a hand."

Xu Mingxian nodded, "It's due to my father's predictive power and my third brother's good fortune."

Within a few days, several array foundations were found; there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Alright, then I'll stay here in seclusion for the next few days. Mei Yun, you may leave now."

"I will call you in when I need you."

"Yes, Master."

After saying that, Mei Yun left "Xu's Grotto Heaven".

With the combined efforts of the three.

Several days later, Xu Mingxian found seven or eight array bases in the four directions of the Greedy Wolf Sect's grand array.

As for whether it is true or not, Mei Yun needs to go to the site to make a judgment.

The central hub of a large formation is usually located in the core position.

As for the array base, a fourth-order grand array often has dozens of such bases, most of which are connected to the terrain and earth veins.

It's possible that even a blade of grass or a stone could be the foundation of an array.

The base of the array is usually a top secret, and few people know about it except for the person who sets up the array.

Moreover, given its secluded location, it's unlikely that anyone would be stationed to guard it, since doing so would be improbable.

This is equivalent to saying "there's no silver buried here."

Where there is a goal, there will be a way; but if the goal cannot be found, then the only option is to break through the formation by force.

This is one of the reasons why those Nascent Soul forces with fourth-order grand formations can survive for so long.

As long as you don't provoke forces with powerful cultivators, or simultaneously provoke several Nascent Soul sects.

The situation is basically stable and secure.

"Mei Yun, I've told you the key location. Go and look for it nearby."

If you encounter someone, adapt to the situation.

"I understand."

Xu Mingxian also said, "After the array base is destroyed, the array shield at the corresponding location will become weak."

Unless there is extensive damage, the protective shield should not develop holes.

That way, it would be less likely to be discovered.

"To what extent will it be weakened?" Mei Yun asked curiously.

"Destroy two bases at each of the four corners of the formation, and the defensive capabilities of the weak points will drop to the top level of the third tier."

"There's even a top-tier third-order player?!"

“The formation is a whole and extremely complex. This is the safest approach for you.”

"After you cause the destruction, I will launch a full-scale attack on Ancient Nether City."

"Thank you, Master."

January has arrived.

Qi Tianxiong visited several Nascent Soul cultivators with whom he had some past acquaintances.

However, upon hearing that the Xu family of Canglong had intervened, they immediately refused.

This is because the Xu family has a close relationship with the Xuan Yue Sect.

Xu Mingxian became a disciple of the Xuan Yue Ancestor.

Even in prison, Ancestor Xuan Yue personally spoke up for him, and even a great cultivator from the Qingyun Sect spoke up.

For various reasons, they really didn't want to be enemies with the Xu family.

It's like asking why we should make them pay the debts that Qi Tianxiong owes!

Forces that originally had no connection were entangled because of a trivial "nodding acquaintance".

Qi Tianxiong is treating them like fools!
After facing repeated setbacks, he gave up the idea of ​​seeking outside help.

In this world, the only favors that a Nascent Soul cultivator is obligated to repay are those that save their lives or those that pave the way for their cultivation.

Just like Xi Daoyun and Yu Qi back then.

He has no choice but to repay such a favor.

Otherwise, there is a risk of being troubled by inner demons in the future.

Frustrated, Qi Tianxiong went directly to Gu Youcheng.

Ancient Youcheng.

The city's protective array remained unchanged, with a pale green light curtain enveloping the entire city.

The monks in the city went about their own business.

suddenly--

A streak of light flashed across the sky.

Without saying a word, Qi Tianxiong used his magical powers and treasures.

A massive battle axe materialized, its entire body pitch black, with demonic energy surging on its blade, radiating a world-destroying pressure.

The black axe, imbued with boundless fury, slashed fiercely at the eerie green light barrier.

boom--

A deafening roar shook the entire ancient city.

The top-tier third-order city-protecting formation was actually torn open with a huge gash a hundred feet long by the full force of the top-tier magic weapon!

The eerie green light curtain flickered wildly!
