Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 144 Crisis at Flying Fox Cave

Danggui Mountain, Tailai Peak.

After much preparation, Li Xiangming finally saw Li Chengkang and Li Xiangyu.

Both of them already knew of Li Xiangming's existence, so they were not surprised.

"Let's go."

After exchanging greetings, Li Chengkang spoke, summoning a sword-shaped flying shuttle.

Looking at the shuttle in front of him, Li Xiangming looked envious. Although he owned the "Green Cloud", the Green Cloud was a small flying boat, and its passenger capacity was not much better than Li Chengkang's shuttle.

It's even worse than its speed.

The only competitive advantage of the Green Cloud Flying Boat is its cost-effectiveness.

After all, where can you find a flying boat for 400 yuan?
It's one thing to talk about cost-effectiveness when it comes to second-hand flying boats, but it's a bit embarrassing to talk about cost-effectiveness when it comes to superior flying shuttles that cost more than a thousand spirit stones.

Li Xiangming didn't dare mention "Green Cloud" and quickly boarded his second uncle's flying shuttle.

As soon as we boarded the shuttle, a sturdy magical shield lit up.

The presence of the magical shield can withstand the strong winds at high altitudes, allowing even mortals to sit steadily on the flying shuttle.

It's high-end stuff!

Li Xiangming was envious again. His flying boat didn't have such a thing; he relied entirely on himself to actively create a magical shield.

Just then, Li Chengkang suddenly spoke up: "Xiangming, the information you sent back is very useful."

intelligence?

Li Xiangming immediately realized that Li Chengkang was referring to the matter of Daishan.

Previously, when he was setting up the Puyin Mountain Association, he was concerned about his family's involvement in the Daishan dispute, so he used his position as chairman to exchange a lot of information with Zhao Jindou.

He couldn't judge the value of this intelligence, so he simply handed it all over to his family.

Unexpectedly, there was something to gain at home.

"How is Dai Shan now?"

Li Xiangming asked with concern.

"It's very unclear. The Zhenhun Sect and Shengyi Sect have each gathered a lot of forces, including cultivators from Pu County, Qingshui County, and even Zhangning Prefecture, and there's even a shadow of the Mang Sect."

“Now Daishan is a hodgepodge. Dividing it into Dainan and Daibei is no longer accurate. People fight every day. If you ask who they are and how they fight, neither of the two factions knows.”

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangming frowned inwardly, not expecting the situation in Daishan to be so complicated.

And then there's the Mang Sect. Ever since the Bailu Sect tricked and destroyed their stronghold in Pubei, they've been severely weakened. I didn't expect them to resurface so quickly.

"Don't worry, these things have nothing to do with our Li family. We were just helping Flying Fox Cave in the past."

Li Chengkang said calmly.

"Is Master Duyin's injury any better?"

At this moment, Li Xiangyu interjected with a question.

The reason the Li family sent people to Daishan was because the Duyin Master of Feihu Cave was injured.

Master Duyin was born in Zhangning Prefecture and was originally an elder of a small sect. He had a good relationship with Li Huinan.

After the Battle of Nanbin, Master Duyin, in recognition of his merits, chose a spiritual vein site in Daishan and left the sect to build his own Flying Fox Cave.

Flying Fox Cave is special because of Master Duyin.

Master Duyin's surname is Xie. He has the cultivation level of the late Foundation Establishment stage. His greatest hobby in life is to marry and have children.

It is said that he had hundreds of wives and concubines and nearly a thousand direct descendants, making him a one-man family.

Of course, very few of these descendants were born with spiritual roots.

Nevertheless, the Xie family members of Feihu Cave still account for more than 70% of the disciples.

Some time ago, one of Master Duyin's great-grandsons was blocked outside and had his meridians destroyed.

Upon learning the news, Master Duyin was furious and personally took action to avenge him, but unexpectedly fell into an ambush by the Mountain Moving Sect.

The Mountain Moving Sect is the right-hand man of the Soul Suppressing Sect in Daibei. The Flying Fox Cave was originally a force in Daibei, but due to some special reasons, it switched its allegiance to the Shengyi Sect in Dainan.

However, Master Duyin lacked martial ethics. In order to gain the trust of the Shengyi Sect, he betrayed the Banshan Sect, which was still an ally at the time, resulting in the deaths of more than a dozen Banshan Sect disciples.

This move made the Mountain Moving Sect hate the Flying Fox Cave to the core, and after two years of preparation, they finally succeeded in luring out Master Duyin.

In order to capture Master Duyin, the Moving Mountain Sect deliberately ambushed four Foundation Establishment cultivators in the mid-to-late stages, hoping to catch them off guard. However, Master Duyin was exceptionally experienced in combat. He reacted immediately after stepping into the trap, cutting off his tail to save his life and detonating his usual magical artifact. This caught the Moving Mountain Sect off guard, and he took the opportunity to escape back to Flying Fox Cave.

However, all the Flying Fox Cave disciples who went out with him died tragically.

Flying Fox Cave was an emerging force with insufficient foundation. After losing a group of elites, it suddenly became bleak.

Master Duyin was afraid that the Mountain Moving Sect would attack, and that the remaining disciples would not even be able to maintain the mountain's protective formation. So he sent Yu Liu to seek help from Dangui Mountain overnight.

Danggui Mountain and Feihu Cave have always been on good terms. Seeing that Feihu Cave was in dire straits, and with Master Duyin offering a generous gift, the Li family, after much deliberation, decided to help Feihu Cave.

With the help of Li Qianyou and others, Flying Fox Cave reinforced its protective array, which the Moving Mountain Sect could not break through despite repeated attacks, leaving them with no choice but to defend outside.

At this time, Li Xiangming brought Zhao Jindou's intelligence. Based on this, Li Qianyou and others deduced that the Moving Mountain Sect had set up two outposts nearby, and under the leadership of Master Duyin, they destroyed them one by one.

This move greatly surprised the Moving Mountain Sect, who quickly withdrew all the surrounding sentry posts and were caught in a dilemma.

After all, if they can't break through the mountain-protecting formation, staying here would be futile.

Moreover, the reason they dared to block the gate of Flying Fox Cave was because the Soul Suppressing Sect was currently exerting its strength to restrain the Victory Intent Sect.

But the Soul Suppressing Sect can't exert themselves to the death, right?
Given enough time, it will be time for the Shengyi Sect to come to the rescue of Feihu Cave.

To avoid greater losses, the Moving Mountain Sect ultimately decided to withdraw its troops in batches.

The crisis at Flying Fox Cave was quickly resolved.

The reason why Li Qianyou and the others remained in Feihu Cave was simply to prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack.

"Master Duyin was seriously injured, but he has the Blood Aperture Stone to heal him, so he should be fine."

When the Blood Aperture Stone was mentioned, Li Chengkang glanced at Li Xiangming.

If it weren't for this child, Li Qianhe wouldn't have sold the Blood Aperture Stone.

When Li Chengpei first heard the news, he slammed his fist on the table and beat his chest in frustration.

After all, blood orifice stones are priceless treasures for physicians.

Moreover, Li Chengpei had repeatedly proposed to exchange his family fortune with Li Qianhe.

But Li Qianhe refused to agree.

Unexpectedly, it was given to Master Duyin.

However, Li Chengkang also understood Li Qianhe's actions. No matter how good the Blood Aperture Stone was, how could it compare to his son's path in Taoism?
Thinking of this, Li Chengkang carefully examined Li Xiangming.

"Xiangming, have you ever used runes?"

"Ah, I've used it. My great-uncle tattooed a 'Flying Flame Wheel' on my body before."

"Your great-uncle tattooed a magical rune on you, which is quite different from other types of runes. Let me explain in detail."

"Yes!"
-
Wei County of Zhangning Prefecture was named after the Wei River.

The middle and lower reaches of the Wei River have a unique geographical environment, interspersed with a series of lakes.

The largest of these lakes is called Mixian Lake.

"Is this the Shen family's territory?"

Li Xiangming asked curiously. After more than ten days of travel, the three members of the Li family finally arrived in Weixian County.

This was also Li Xiangming's first time setting foot in Weixian County.

“The spiritual energy of Mixian Lake is abundant, and there are more cultivation forces entrenched there than in Daishan.”

Li Chengkang shook his head: "To be precise, the Shen family's territory is called Fengmo Island."

Demon Sealing Island?
Is it an island in the middle of a lake?
Li Xiangming seemed to be deep in thought. With bewitching immortals and sealing demons, it seemed there were many stories in this place.

Just then, a slightly old fishing boat sailed toward the shore.

"Fellow Daoists, would you like to take a boat?"

The fisherman straightened his straw hat and revealed a bright smile.

"Oh?"

Li Xiangming raised an eyebrow.

Li Xiangyu, who was standing nearby, explained, "The reason why Mixian Lake is called Mixian Lake is because it is shrouded in fog all year round. This fog is very special and can resist divine sense. If no one leads the way, it will be difficult for us to find our way."
