Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 545 Backhand
To be honest, Li Xiangming admired this persistence, but scoffed at Gong Tanzi's pipe dream.

Who are the people who can come to Ziyin Cave?

They all have at least a Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

Gong Tanzi had been at the bottom of the cliff for twenty years, but his cultivation had not improved at all. He was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even when he saw him and Liu Xiong Yu entering the Purple Yin Cave with the stone tablet key, he did not dare to show himself.

They only dared to launch a sneak attack when he came out alone.

With Gong Tanzi's cultivation and abilities, he was not qualified to touch the Purple Yin Cave's inheritance at all. He was lucky not to enter the secret realm. If he had, his fate would not have been any better than Mu Yazi's.

Of course, Gong Tanzi did not think so.

The man's gaze was filled with greed. His temporary obedience was merely a prelude to future betrayal.

Li Xiangming was well aware of this, but he did not point it out. Instead, he said calmly, "I had already eliminated one Foundation Establishment cultivator when I came here, and I eliminated another one after I came out. The Soul Suppressing Sect has probably gone mad. Even if you have a wonderful method to conceal your presence, you will not be able to escape their search. Have you thought about where you want to go?"

Liu Xiongyu had been eyeing the Purple Shade Cave secret realm for many years.

According to him, Miaoyin Peak is guarded by four to six Foundation Establishment cultivators year-round, and they are all formidable figures in the mid-to-late stages of Foundation Establishment, making it virtually impregnable.

That's why Liu Xiongyu was determined to sow discord between the Zhenhun and Shengyi sects.

Now that Shengyi Sect has been destroyed, Zhenhun Sect should theoretically still have three Foundation Establishment cultivators left.

A month ago, there was only one early Foundation Establishment cultivator here; a month later, there is only one mid Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Li Xiangming didn't know what changes had occurred in the Soul Suppressing Sect that caused them to be so lax about Miaoyin Peak, but with two Foundation Establishment cultivators dying in succession, even if the Soul Suppressing Sect were a fool, they would still turn Miaoyin Peak upside down.

Having already been in hiding for twenty years, can Gong Tanzi continue to hide?

Very hanging.

Gong Tanzi himself knew this, so he quickly bowed and stepped forward to stand beside Li Xiangming, saying with a smile, "This subordinate is willing to stay by the leader's side and wait for the leader's orders."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I have plenty of manpower around me."

Li Xiangming would not keep a poisonous snake by his side. He looked Gong Tanzi up and down and suddenly said, "However, I do have a good place that is very suitable for you."

"A good place?"

Gong Tanzi paused for a moment, then cautiously probed, "Please give me your instructions, Master."

“Mao religion”.

Li Xiangming smiled slightly: "As a senior member of the Mang Sect and possessing Foundation Establishment cultivation, who would dare to underestimate you upon your return to the Mang Sect?"

Gong Tanzi frowned involuntarily; the Mang Sect was indeed his final destination.

What is the religion of Ke Mang?
To ascend the throne of the cult leader and command all heroes?
He might have thought that way decades ago, but now he finds it ridiculous.

The Nascent Soul inheritance in the young man before him was what he truly desired.

He didn't know the boy's name. If he let him go, wouldn't his years of waiting become a joke?
"The Manchu religion is not what it used to be. You will be interested in it after you go back."

Li Xiangming gave an ambiguous answer, then walked out of the cave, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and took a deep breath.

“I won’t force you. If you stay with the Mangjiao, I will find you later. At that time, I may be able to share what I have. If you don’t go back, then we’ll part ways here and meet again.”

"Of course, if you want to follow me, you're welcome to catch up and see for yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiangming slowly ascended into the air.

Gong Tanzi suddenly became anxious, but as soon as he stepped out of the cave, Li Xiangming had already turned into black smoke and disappeared without a trace.

So fast!

Even though he had seen it several times before, Gong Tanzi was still shocked; he couldn't even tell which way was which!
Moreover, the Demon Heart has actually emerged and is possessed by someone outside the Mang Cult.

What is the origin of this kid?
Gong Tanzi was lost in thought, and soon his mind turned to himself.

Could it be that he is destined to be forever barred from inheriting the Nascent Soul cultivation technique?
Manchu religion, Manchu religion.
Gong Tanzi hesitated for a moment, then looked back at the stone coffin in the cave before finally turning away and flying off.

After his figure disappeared, a ripple suddenly appeared in the air.

Li Xiangming returned to the original spot, "tidied up" the corpse in the cave, then passed through the stone coffin and arrived at the mysterious cliff in front of the Ziyin Cave Secret Realm, leaving behind "handling the matter".

The traces of Gong Tanzi's life at the bottom of the cliff for more than 20 years cannot be completely cleaned up.

With just a slight hint from him, the people of the Soul Suppressing Sect would immediately discover, to their horror, that someone was lurking right under their noses, coveting the Purple Yin Cave like a malevolent spirit. Who was responsible for the mysterious deaths of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators from their respective sects? Naturally, it was this scheming "malevolent spirit"!
The origin of the "evil spirit" can be traced back several decades.

This is a messy, unresolved issue!
After doing all this, Li Xiangming did not stop. Instead, he followed Gong Tanzi's trail for a long distance until he confirmed that the guy was heading towards Pubei before he left with peace of mind.

Just half a day ago, he was still plotting how to get rid of Gong Tanzi cleanly and efficiently.

It wasn't that he particularly hated Gong Tanzi for ambushing him, but rather that the other party knew he had been to the Ziyin Cave.

If this gets out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But then again, he wasn't a rogue cultivator without any foundation, nor was he a clay figure that those major sects could mold at will.

It would be laughable if the major powers in Pu County were to listen to the words of a heretic from the Mang Cult and cause him trouble.

Even if someone is really stubborn, shouldn't they first confirm whether the Purple Shade Cave actually exists?
Would the Soul Suppressing Sect allow news of the Purple Yin Cave to spread?

impossible!
As long as the Li family and the Zhenhun Sect don't say anything, even if Gong Tanzi makes a fuss about the Ziyin Cave, the impact won't be very significant.

Of course, it's still a hassle.

Li Xiangming was willing to leave this troublesome situation behind for two reasons: firstly, he needed Gong Tanzi to act as a shield for the Miaoyin Peak massacre; and secondly, he was wary of the Mang Cult.

Twenty years ago, the Mang Sect was still weak and vulnerable in Hao County, but now it has taken root in Pu County and grown into a towering tree that can rival the Bailu Sect.

Twenty years from now, how far will the Mang Cult have developed? Will it threaten the Li family, who live in seclusion in a remote corner of the country?

Li Xiangming couldn't help but worry about this issue.

Gong Tanzi has been away from the Mang Sect for thirty or forty years. The Mang Sect has changed three times, and his old acquaintances are probably long gone. Such a person would naturally not have deep feelings for the Mang Sect.

He hoped that this potential trouble would one day become a backup plan for dealing with the Mang Cult.

Even if there's only a sliver of a possibility!
Just then, faint shouts of battle suddenly came from afar.

Li Xiangming raised an eyebrow and followed the sound.

Before long, several figures, covered in blood and fighting fiercely, came into his view.

"Complementary?"

Li Xiangming glanced at it quickly and was immediately shocked.

Despite Li Xiangcheng's face being covered in blood and surrounded by three or four black-clad cultivators, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly as he dodged and weaved, he still recognized his cousin immediately.

Besides complementing each other, there is also mutual expansion!
Father?

As soon as Li Xiangming approached, he saw Li Qianhe's figure.

At this moment, Li Qianhe only had two opponents, but his cultivation level was low, only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he was not good at fighting at all. He had injuries on his shoulders and thighs, and was in great danger.

"stop!"

Li Xiangming flew into a rage, his speed increased by three points, and he rushed into the battle in the blink of an eye.

Just as one of the men in black reached behind Li Qianhe, intending to take advantage of the chaos to make a move, he was overturned by the gust of wind generated by Li Xiangming. The two men in black nearby instantly changed color and hurriedly retreated.

But it's too late!
With a single palm strike, Li Xiangming unleashed six magical dragons that spread evenly across the bodies of the two men.

"Oh!"

Explosions rang out one after another.

The two had no chance to dodge and were blown into a cloud of blood mist, dead beyond any doubt.

As the blood mist settled, the man in black who had intended to launch the sneak attack had just gotten up from the ground. Upon seeing this scene, he was dumbfounded and too frightened to move.

Li Xiangming raised his hand and pointed, sending him to his death as well.

It was only then that the others gradually realized what was happening.

Li Xiangcheng immediately moved closer, and the men in black also gathered together as if by prior arrangement.

Only Li Qianhe stood frozen in place, staring at Li Xiangming's back. After a long while, he finally spoke, his voice trembling with disbelief: "Xiang Xiangming?"
