Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 165 The formation is broken
Led by Gong Wan, the group visited five or six beast tamers who were stranded in Pushuifang.

The people who could associate with Chen Chihe were all quite capable.

Moreover, they were all unclaimed, independent beast tamers.

Taking advantage of the situation, the Li family extended an olive branch and actually succeeded in recruiting two experienced beast tamers.

This made Li Qianyuan's mouth twitch into a wide smile.

However, they still couldn't find Chen Chihe's whereabouts.

One of the beast tamers revealed, "Old Chen has been going out frequently these past two months, either because he has a lover outside the market."

The group looked at each other, unsure how to respond.

"Given Old Chen's personality, even if she's in a relationship, shouldn't she be a beast tamer?"

Another person laughed.

The two teased Chen Chihe, while Gong Wan smiled apologetically from the side.

Li Xiangming's heart stirred.

Outside Pushui Market, there really were beast tamers, and their skill level was in no way inferior to the person in front of them.

Thinking of this, Li Xiangming couldn't contain himself any longer and immediately led everyone away from Pushui Market.

"Xiangming, are there really other beast tamers?"

Li Qianyuan couldn't help but ask.

Do you remember the blue-backed magic lizard at home?

Li Xiangming glanced at him; "Do you think there are any beast tamers in places where the Blue-backed Demon Lizard can be tamed?"

"Green-backed Demon Lizard?"

Gong Wan, who was standing nearby, interjected, "The way to tame a riding spirit pet is different from that of an ordinary spirit pet. If this person can tame a Blue-backed Demon Lizard, his beast-taming skills far surpass mine."

Since even Gong Wan said so, Li Qianyuan immediately shut up, and a lot of anticipation arose in his heart.

Li Xiangming had no idea who the beast tamer behind the Green-Backed Demon Lizard was, nor was he sure of the other party's beast taming skills.

But he knew that Yuyuan, as a beast farm dedicated to breeding spirit pets, absolutely needed beast tamers.

Even if Chen Chihe hadn't shown up there, he still planned to pay him a visit.

Soon, the group arrived at Yuyuan Garden.

Li Xiangming remembered that there should be a maze nearby, and he should have been waiting for his master to come out and greet him.

However, he did not have the Green Calyx Hermit's communication talisman, and after waiting for a while without seeing anyone, he had no choice but to venture through the maze.

Fortunately, the maze is not very powerful; it's only effective against honest people, not malicious ones.

The dozen or so cultivators present each gathered their magical energy and launched it to one side, quickly disrupting the surrounding energy field and breaking the illusion.

“It’s so quiet!”

After walking for a while, Li Xiangting couldn't help but glance at Li Xiangming.

Encountering this kind of atmosphere in Puyin Mountain usually means you've entered a hunting ground for monsters.

“Fellow Daoist Gong, Xiang Hong, you beast tamers should stand in the middle.”

Li Xiangming also frowned, sensing something unusual.

Keep in mind, this is a large animal enclosure.

However, they didn't encounter a single flying insect along the way.

"Stop!"

Li Xiangming raised his arm, his divine sense detecting the fluctuations of magical power.

"One, two, three."

Suddenly, a familiar magical power entered his consciousness.

is her! ?
Li Xiangming's face was gloomy; he hadn't expected to run into an old friend.
-
Deep in the valley.

In front of seven or eight simply built wooden houses, two groups of people stood facing each other.

The smaller group, however, appeared particularly relaxed.

One of the beautiful women, with a charming face, said with a smile, "Why are you struggling? A single formation can't stop us."

Just then, a zombie over ten feet tall with disheveled hair strode in.

However, after taking only three or four steps, a barrier of light blocked his way.

The zombies were fearless, slamming their enormous fists against the light screen.

In a short moment, the light screen dimmed.

"Quickly, quickly transfer mana!"

A middle-aged cultivator who looked to be about forty years old hurriedly shouted.

At his call, seven or eight people in the formation sat cross-legged, each occupying a position, continuously channeling their magical power to stabilize the formation. "Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

The beautiful woman curled her lips into a smile and turned to look at a young man beside her whose face was bluish-purple: "Fellow Daoist Yin, use whatever other methods you have. Let me see your skills. Perhaps I'll reward you on a whim."

"As ordered."

Yin Guangyang turned his head slightly to look at Madam Zhen, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. When he saw Fu An beside her, his apprehension deepened instantly.

I'm only refining dead people, but the other party is refining living people. Dead people are no match for living people!
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of black light appeared on Yin Guangyang's body, and an old coffin suddenly rose up from the ground.

"rise!"

Yin Guangyang clasped his hands together, chanted a spell, and the coffin slowly opened, revealing a bald bronze corpse.

"nice one!"

The beautiful woman's eyes lit up. The magical power emanating from this corpse was incredibly powerful, even surpassing that of Blind Luo.

After a moment of adaptation, the bronze corpse moved with astonishing speed, slamming its fist into the formation, causing a large section of the formation to dent almost visibly.

"Seventeenth Uncle, this can't go on. The Six Harmonies Returning Formation can't hold off these demons."

Inside the formation, the Green Calyx Hermit, dressed in green, gritted his teeth and said.

Although the Six Harmonies Return to One Formation is a renowned second-tier defensive formation, its power depends on the magical energy within it.

Under the self-destruction attack of the opponent's talisman, this formation has lost most of its magic power and is in a state of decline. Now, it is being bombarded by two powerful zombies in turn and is already on the verge of collapse.

How could Cao Fuyi not know? At this moment, his eyes were filled with anxiety: "We must stop them even if we can't! We absolutely cannot let them take these beast tamers away."

As he spoke, Cao Fuyi took a deep breath, swallowed a pale yellow pill, and his magical power surged. The dented part of the array slowly rebounded.

However, the bronze corpse was tireless and made its move time and time again.

With the help of the giant zombies, Liuhe Guizhen was finally on the verge of collapse.

Even more detrimental than the formation itself are the cultivators who transmit their magical power within it.

These people were mostly beast tamers, with low cultivation levels and little practice in refining their magical power. Now, they were all as pale as paper, clearly on the verge of collapse.

"Miss, how about I go up and give it a shot!"

Among the crowd, an old man with a white beard spoke fiercely.

"Uncle Tong, your injuries are serious, don't act rashly."

Green Calyx Hermit shook his head. Yuyuan did not sit idly by and wait for death from the beginning. However, Tong Wunan, who had the highest cultivation level in the valley, was defeated by a blind demon on the other side in just one exchange.

She knew that even if everyone worked together and fought to the death, they would only end up dying a tragic death.

“Miss, I’ll buy you some time. You and Seventeenth Master go first.”

Tong Wunan's face was gaunt, as if he had made up his mind, and he spoke through his divine sense.

Cao Fuyi turned around and angrily said, "No, the Cao family must not give up on this group of beast tamers."

Seemingly realizing he had spoken too harshly, Cao Fuyi softened his tone and said, "Hold on a little longer. Once Lao Qi and the others return from Pushui Market, they will surely be able to deal with these demons."

As Yin Guangyang's bronze corpse made frequent attacks, the people in the formation were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Meanwhile, Madam Zhen, who was outside the formation, spoke up casually: "Blind Luo, you are knowledgeable and experienced, can you recognize the origin of this corpse?"

Luo the Blind looked at the bronze corpse with empty eyes and shook his head: "I can only tell that this corpse must have been a Foundation Establishment cultivator in life."

"As for the refining method, it must be a secret passed down by Fellow Daoist Yin. If you are curious, you may ask."

Hearing the two discussing his background, Yin Guangyang adopted a humble attitude: "Just some trivial skills, I dare not show off in front of you two seniors."

"A little trick?"

Madam Zhen smiled and said, "To be able to slip away from two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the White Dew Sect, Fellow Daoist Yin's methods are truly extraordinary."

"In comparison, Ghost King Qi's death was far more gruesome. However, this fool brought disaster to dozens of people in my sect, and he deserved to die."

Upon hearing this, Yin Guangyang turned his head and echoed, "Protector Zhen is right."

Attacking the Great Wilderness Town was the first mission he accepted after meeting the cult leader.

However, this first mission almost cost him his life. The root cause can be attributed to Ghost King Qi's poor judgment of people and his violation of the sect rules by bringing Gu Junli to the Pubei stronghold without authorization.

Therefore, he still harbors resentment when talking about Ghost King Qi.

Blind Luo remained silent. Ghost King Qi had been his friend for decades, but was eventually torn apart by five horses by the Bailu Sect.

Although it was Ghost King Qi's own doing, he couldn't bring himself to make sarcastic remarks, feeling a sense of shared fate.

The group remained silent for a while until the bronze corpse broke through the formation, at which point everyone inside paled in shock.

"Alright, the cat-and-mouse game is over. You all should just surrender and come with me."

Madam Zhen chuckled and stepped forward.

Just then, Blind Luo suddenly exclaimed, "Someone's coming!"
