Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 295 Reappearance
The white silk ribbon flashed like lightning, closing in on Madam Zhen in an instant.

She hurriedly affixed several protective talismans to herself, but she still couldn't avoid being blasted away by that powerful force, spitting out blood and looking extremely disheveled.

This was just a casual strike launched by Fairy Green Cloud during her fierce battle with the Faceless Man.

If it weren't for the Faceless Man restraining him, the leader of Green Cloud Cave could have easily taken Madam Zhen's life.

The Faceless Man, now in berserk mode, seems to have reached a new level of strength and is able to effectively counterattack Fairy Green Cloud.

But this does not change the status quo of the battlefield.

Green Cloud Fairy has simply changed from being as fast and swift as lightning to being as steady and methodical as she is now.

The Faceless Man was completely unable to harm Fairy Green Cloud.

On the contrary, his overly aggressive approach caused him to consume even more of his magical power.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, his defeat will be even faster than before.

Having witnessed all of this, Li Xiangming finally understood why Green Cloud Cave was able to gain a foothold in the Luoyang Mountains.

They also understood why the disciples of Green Cloud Cave did not cause widespread panic even when they were besieged.

Because they believed in their master, Fairy Green Cloud, that as long as she took action, all problems would be solved.

Although Fairy Green Cloud stagnated at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage for several decades, she was never able to break through to a higher realm.

But this period of time was not in vain.

Whether it's the accumulation of magical power or the study of spells, she is far superior to ordinary mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The Faceless Man excels at magical combat, but in terms of understanding magic alone, the Green Cloud Fairy might be slightly inferior.

But the spells she knows are of a higher level and are more powerful. The key is that she has enough mana to support the use of these spells.

In this situation, the Faceless Man's advantages are greatly reduced, and he suffers setbacks at every turn.

Seeing that the defeat of the Mang Sect was inevitable, Li Xiangming began to relax and weighed the bright yellow crystal in his hand.

Eight eerie eyeballs flowed within the crystal, sending chills down one's spine.

Although he didn't know the true purpose of this thing, Madam Zhen's intention to use it against Fairy Green Cloud was clearly that it was no ordinary object.

If Fairy Green Cloud is defeated here, Green Cloud Cave will be occupied by the Mang Sect, and he will have no choice but to flee. The matter of the Enlightenment Spring will once again become shrouded in mystery.

This is a situation he absolutely does not want to see.

Therefore, when he noticed Madam Zhen's underhanded tactics, he acted decisively.

To be honest, he was somewhat surprised that he was able to snatch the eye crystal so easily.

But it's not surprising, as the abandoned array pavilion is now filled with extremely mixed magical energy, and it's inevitable that one's consciousness would be affected.

If someone were to ambush him, he might not be able to react in time.

Moreover, Madam Zhen's entire attention was focused on Fairy Green Cloud, so her vigilance towards her surroundings was naturally greatly reduced.

This time, Li Xiangming restrained himself and did not show himself.

They did not directly target Madam Zhen herself.

After all, the Li family and the Mang Cult had a non-aggression pact.

He did not want to face retaliation from the Mang Cult.

But his inaction does not mean that Madam Zhen will be safe and sound.

Judging from the Green Cloud Fairy's repeated attacks on Madam Zhen, this eccentric and wicked member of the Mang Cult is likely to die here today.

Just as I was thinking this, the situation on the battlefield changed once again.

The faceless man, whom they had been unable to defeat for so long, was now at his last gasp.

To avoid completely losing his mind, he took out a new human skin mask, put it on his face, and forcibly exited the manic mode.

This also gave Fairy Green Cloud an opportunity.

Without hesitation, she unleashed a palm strike, her magical power sweeping out like a tidal wave. The faceless man was slammed heavily to the ground, creating a large crater and kicking up clouds of dust.

"Won!"

Li Xiangming's face lit up with surprise. With such serious injuries, the Faceless Man might not even be able to escape, let alone retaliate.

At this moment, Fairy Green Cloud also descended from mid-air.

Her long hair danced in the wind, looking slightly disheveled.

Clearly, this overly "protracted" battle was not easy for her.

But no matter what, she, being stronger, still managed to defeat No-Face.

As soon as the Faceless Man was defeated, despair immediately appeared on Madam Zhen's face. Now she couldn't escape, and she couldn't fight back; wasn't she just waiting to die?

"You fiends, you have offended my sect. Today I will send you to the Yellow Springs together."

"Green Cloud Fairy said in a cold voice."

As she spoke, she immediately attacked, giving the Faceless Man no chance to catch his breath.

However, even though he was seriously injured, the Faceless Man still showed amazing resilience.

The earth and rocks beneath his feet suddenly cracked open, like a gaping maw that swallowed him whole, and Fairy Green Cloud's attack missed its mark.

"Want to run?"

Fairy Green Cloud gave a soft hum. In this Green Cloud Cave, no one knew it better than her.

With a casual wave of her hand, the white silk from her sleeve surged forth like wildly dancing silver snakes, blasting dozens of deep craters into the surrounding ground. Each strike carried the force of a thunderbolt.

Faced with such a commotion, even Li Xiangming, who had been watching the battle, had to retreat repeatedly to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

As for Madam Zhen on the ground, she was like a candle in the wind. Although she was not directly attacked by Fairy Green Cloud, the flying pebbles rained down on her like a storm, making her feel an unprecedented despair.

Even the Faceless Man, though powerful, could no longer hide from such attacks.

He flew out shortly afterward and landed behind Madam Zhen.

"No protectors, save me!"

Madam Zhen quickly turned her head, her voice trembling.

The faceless man did not reply, but instead gently placed a large hand on Madam Zhen's smooth and delicate nape.

Feeling the force coming from the back of her neck, Madam Zhen was immediately panicked.

"What are you going to do?"

Madam Zhen fought back fiercely, but how could she possibly withstand the Faceless Man?

In just a moment, Madam Zhen was forced to kneel down, blood gushing from her mouth.

"What is this for?"

Green Cloud Fairy frowned.

Previously, when she dealt with Madam Zhen, the Faceless Man protected her in every way.

Now, however, he seems intent on killing Madam Zhen.

It's really puzzling.

Is it murder to silence the witness?
Does this demoness know many inside stories about the Mang Cult?
Thinking of this, Fairy Green Cloud began to relax her brows.

If we can capture this person and hand him over to the Hengyue Sect, we might be able to get some benefits in return.

Without further hesitation, she stepped forward.

Li Xiangming, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, felt a strange unease.

Madam Zhen is a very special person; she is able to lead cultivators who are more powerful than her, such as Blind Luo and Yin Guangyang.

Even during this struggle for the Enlightenment Spring, with the Faceless Man present, it seemed that she was in a dominant position.

Moreover, as fellow protectors of the Mang Cult, there's no reason for Faceless Man to execute Madam Zhen, is there?
Although he didn't know where this unease came from, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

So much so that he blurted out instinctively, "Master, don't be anxious!"

However, Fairy Green Cloud only glanced at him sideways and did not stop walking at all.

Having finally defeated the Faceless Man, and with the Mang Cult now trapped, what else could she possibly worry about?
At this moment, the faceless man on the other side also retaliated fiercely, his veins bulging, squeezing Madam Zhen until she could hardly breathe.

That wasn't all; he gathered his magical power in his other hand and struck Madam Zhen's crown with a palm strike.

Upon seeing this, Fairy Green Cloud immediately took action, with White Silk stepping forward to try and stop the Faceless Man.

Suddenly, a white light shone from Madam Zhen's body.

Both Foundation Establishment cultivators stopped their actions simultaneously.

"Divine Mind Incarnation?"

Green Cloud Fairy cried out, her eyes fixed on the white light.

Soon, the white light dissipated, and a tall, illusory figure hovered above Madam Zhen's head.

Watching this scene from afar, Li Xiangming broke out in a cold sweat and muttered to himself, "The leader of the Mang Cult, Hou Xianbo!"

　I'll only be posting today, just to get back to work.
