Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 306 Ouyang Tai

Bai Zhenghu looked at the newcomer with a serious expression. "Who do you think you are? It turns out to be a senior expert from the Ouyang family."

The arrival of the Ouyang family instantly complicated the situation.

There were originally seven Foundation Establishment cultivators present, and with the addition of Bai Zhenghu and the old man in black robes, there were nine Foundation Establishment cultivators in total.

However, more than ten people from the Ouyang family arrived at once, including six Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Furthermore, there was also Ouyang Tai, an old fellow in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

In other words, the small Green Cloud Cave mountain gate suddenly gathered fifteen Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Ouyang Tai personally stopped Bai Zhenghu and his companion, and then assigned other Foundation Establishment disciples to surround Yu Zhongliang and the others. The remaining Qi Refining disciples were distributed around the area to capture all the Green Cloud Cave disciples who attempted to escape.

For a moment, everyone held their breath, not daring to make a move.

This is the Ouyang family, a prominent clan in Hao County known for its Golden Elixir cultivation.

Beating the young ones brings out the old ones; beating the old ones brings out Golden Core cultivators.

Going against them is simply asking for trouble.

Yu Zhongliang couldn't help but say, "Senior Ouyang, we haven't found anything."

At this moment, he no longer cared about the Enlightenment Spring.

I just want to leave.

With the Ouyang family around, even if you obtain the Enlightenment Spring, you won't live to enjoy it.

Ouyang Tai glanced at him and said indifferently, "Whether you've discovered it or not is not up to you to decide."

After saying that, Ouyang Tai closed his eyes, then opened them again: "He'er, go and drag out all the rats around here."

Ouyang He's expression changed.

Having received Ouyang Tai's telepathic message, he immediately rushed towards a certain mountain peak and struck out with his palm.

Under the fierce attack of the Foundation Establishment cultivators' magical power, Zhang Min and the others who had been hiding were forced to reveal themselves.

Zhang Min was pale. When Bai Zhenghu caused a ruckus at Green Cloud Pool, she was still overjoyed, thinking that the captured Green Cloud Cave disciples would be rescued.

But the surprise turned into shock so quickly.

The moment the Ouyang family arrived, she knew something was wrong.

Because Ouyang Tai's divine sense had been lingering around them.

This put Zhang Min in a dilemma.

If you don't leave, you'll be discovered sooner or later; if you leave, you'll be discovered immediately.

Sure enough, they had only just made a move.

Ouyang Tai then sent someone over.

Faced with the ferocious Ouyang He, Zhang Min and the others were completely powerless to fight back.

They all became prisoners.

"Second Uncle, it seems to be a remnant of the Green Cloud Cave."

Although Ouyang He did not recognize Zhang Min and the others, he was quite experienced. Judging from the sorrow on their faces and their behavior of guarding the Green Cloud Cave, he could guess what was going on.

"Is this all there is?"

Ouyang Tai's gaze was cold.

Ouyang He paused for a moment, then nodded: "There were only five of them. They must have been Green Cloud Cave disciples who managed to escape by chance but then returned."

"I can't stop watching!"

Ouyang Tai snorted and pointed his finger. The flying sword behind him appeared on another mountain peak in the blink of an eye, like an arrow released from a bow.

With a loud bang, two figures were sent flying in a disheveled state.

"It's Zhao Yue and Long Yang!"

Zhang Min was immediately startled, not expecting that these two disciples of the Shanyun Sect were also hiding nearby.

She didn't know why the two had come, but at that moment she felt a sense of shared misfortune towards them.

In order to rescue the disciples of Green Cloud Cave, Zhang Min repeatedly studied the terrain near Green Cloud Cave before choosing a good location that was neither too far nor too far and was not easy to be discovered. She also used various methods such as invisibility talismans.

This is how they managed to deceive the spiritual senses of Yu Zhongliang and other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This provided a glimmer of hope for the rescue plan.

However, none of these seemed to matter to Ouyang Tai.

"Bring them all over."

Ouyang Tai gave the order.

Without hesitation, Ouyang He immediately attacked Zhao Yue and the other person.

"Senior sister, you go first!"

Long Yang looked anxious and stood in front of Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue pulled him away and said in a deep voice, "I am the senior sister, how can I let you cover the rear?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Yue gathered her magical power, and a blazing white light flashed across her palm, with a faint rumble of thunder.

"Lei Xiu?"

Ouyang He was surprised, not expecting Zhao Yue to be an extremely rare lightning magic cultivator in the cultivation world. However, this did not stop him from taking action.

In front of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Zhao Yue's lightning magic seemed particularly powerless. Although the palm lightning struck down successfully, it was blocked by Ouyang He's powerful magic and could not cause any damage at all.

In just a moment, Zhao Yue and Long Yang were also captured by Ouyang He.

The two, along with Zhang Min and others, were thrown near Green Cloud Pool.

However, I did see He Xuan and Mao Jingze, who were barely clinging to life.

Mao Jingze's injuries were extremely serious. Fortunately, after he was released from the cellar, he didn't have to fight much. Even when he was being chased by the Earth Mother Qianlong, he was able to avoid new injuries thanks to the care of his fellow disciples, such as He Xuan and Zhang Min.

He simply couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

He Xuan's situation was much worse. He was hit head-on by the Earth Mother Hidden Dragon. Although he had taken precautions beforehand, he almost died. He was later saved by Li Xiangming.

However, his injuries could not be healed, and he was abandoned by Fairy Green Cloud, where he also fell into a coma in Green Cloud Cave.

They were then captured by the Star-Absorbing Village, who had broken into the Green Cloud Cave.

The Star-Absorbing Village, of course, didn't care about the lives of the two men. Even when they were seriously injured, they still tortured them to find out the existence of the Enlightenment Spring.

Subsequently, Yu Zhongliang and other Foundation Establishment cultivators arrived. The Star Absorbing Village could not withstand them and had no choice but to compromise, handing over the captured Green Cloud Cave disciples.

Thus, He Xuan and Mao Jingze were on the verge of death after undergoing their second and third interrogations.

I survived entirely thanks to my willpower.

Now, being tormented by being hung in the pool by the Star-Absorbing Village, he already looks like his end is near.

Zhang Min felt heartbroken watching this, and hugged her two senior brothers, tears streaming down her face.

The other newly captured disciples of Green Cloud Cave were also filled with sadness and fear.

Long Yang stared blankly at the scene.

Green Cloud Cave met such an end simply because of a rumor.

Even the Shanyun Sect, which relied on the Green Cloud Cave, suffered a devastating disaster.

This is the world of cultivation.

The weak suffer the ravages of fate!
Only those with extraordinary cultivation can defy fate and change their destiny.

On the other side, Ouyang Tai ignored the captured Qi-cultivating insects.

Instead, he sized up Bai Zhenghu and the old man in black robes in front of him.

Upon seeing the old man's appearance, Ouyang Tai frowned slightly and asked, "You look somewhat familiar. May I ask your name?"

When the Ouyang family first appeared, they were arrogant and used six people to stop nine Foundation Establishment cultivators present.

It's clear that he doesn't respect anyone.

However, at this moment, Ouyang Tai used the respectful title "Your Excellency" when addressing the old man in black robes.

In an instant, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators looked at the old man in the black robe.

The old man in the black robe remained expressionless. He glanced at Ouyang Tai and replied calmly, "My name is Ding Chongji."

"Ding Chongji?"

Yu Zhongliang was immediately startled, as this name had recently become very well-known in Zhangning Prefecture.

Because Ding Chongji is a senior second-tier array master.

Even the Hengyue Sect treated him as an honored guest.

"So it's Master Ding!"

Upon first meeting Ding Chongji, Ouyang Tai seemed to have guessed something. He did not doubt Ding's words and even politely bowed, saying, "I am Ouyang Tai. I am honored to meet Master Ding for the first time. I hope you will forgive me."

Ding Chongji stroked his short beard without saying a word.

Deep down, he was naturally dissatisfied with the Ouyang family's domineering ways.

But circumstances were beyond his control, and he didn't want to offend the Ouyang family lest he encounter misfortune.

Seeing that Ding Chongji remained silent, Ouyang Tai also disagreed.

Giving the other party face is to build the reputation of the Ouyang family for valuing talent in formations.

This does not mean that he values ​​Ding Chongji that much.

Hao County has more than just Ding Chongji, a second-tier array master.

Ouyang Tai narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, "Master Ding, did you also come for the Enlightenment Spring?"

Ding Chongji shook his head: "I came here to find someone, and so did Fellow Daoist Bai. His child is trapped in Green Cloud Cave, so I accompanied him. I didn't know anything about the Enlightenment Spirit Spring before I came."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Tai glanced at Bai Shuo, who was meditating cross-legged on the flying boat.

He waved his hand, indicating that Ding Chongji could leave.

It then flew towards Yu Zhongliang.

He never even glanced at Bai Zhenghu.

Ding Chongji breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave.

However, at this moment, Ouyang He stood in front of him, smiling and saying, "Fellow Daoist Ding can leave. If you want to find someone, just tell me. My Ouyang family is happy to serve you. But this Fellow Daoist Bai will have to stay for now."
