Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 588 Disappointment
"Quickly take Doctor Jiu away!"

Upon seeing this, Granny Lai, who was still casting a spell, immediately shouted sternly.

When the Five Scattered Sect found the Dragon Blood Vermilion Fruit, they guessed that the Black Swamp Dragon, which was entrenched in the pool, possessed a trace of the dragon's bloodline.

However, no one expected that Black Swamp Dragon's innate divine power could directly activate this bloodline!
Although the Black Swamp Dragon will inevitably be extremely weakened after unleashing its innate divine power, before that, its strength will break through its limits and become invincible.

Staying here is just waiting to die!
Everyone finally realized what was happening.

Zhang Can was the first to fly out, grabbing the doctor and anxiously shouting, "Master Xie, protect Mu Mu!"

Before the words were finished, the sky was shrouded in shadow.

Zhang Can looked up in horror and saw the Black Swamp Dragon silently appear above him. Its pupils, which should have been as black as ink, were now filled with scarlet, staring intently at the Doctor.

"escape!"

I don't know who shouted.

Zhang Can also wanted to escape, but as soon as he moved, the crimson snake tail of the Black Swamp Dragon lashed out, and the unique pressure of the Bone-Melting Demon Cultivator, accompanied by a trace of dragon's rage, dimmed the escape light he had summoned.

"How dare you?"

In the nick of time, Granny Lai suddenly stood up, and the three blood-soaked copper coins at her feet instantly turned into bloody mud.

At the same time, a copper coin phantom appeared on the head, belly, and tail of the Black Swamp Dragon, firmly wedging it into the square hole of the coin.

"Roar!"

The Black Swamp Dragon roared with its head held high, its sharp spikes on its back particularly striking.

The illusory copper coin could not withstand the immense demonic power and exploded with a "bang." The crimson snake tail also struck the spot where Zhang Can and Jiu Langzhong were.

But by then, the two had already disappeared.

Black Swamp Dragon was furious and was about to give chase.

Suddenly, she turned around and looked at Grandma Lai, who was closer to her.

Upon seeing this, Grandma Lai turned pale.

Zhang Can and the others escaped, but she was destined to rest in the Black Swamp forever.

Not reconciled!

If she had given up the sealing technique, she might have had a chance to survive.

However.
Whatever!

He's so old, his death is no loss.

Granny Lai sat cross-legged on the tree again, and the fear she had shown gradually disappeared, replaced by a relieved smile: "I have sacrificed myself to win over Doctor Jiu, and the Five Scattered Sect will be able to eliminate this demon in the future. I have died a worthy death!"

Just as she closed her eyes, she suddenly pulled out a glowing talisman from her waist. She was first taken aback, then both surprised and delighted, and cried out, "Master Li, save me!"

"Bang!!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of loud noises came from afar.

Black Swamp Dragon suddenly froze, its body poised to pounce, and slowly turned its head.

Several miles away, deep in the swamp, countless rotting banyan trees collapsed with a deafening roar. A giant black-backed, white-bellied serpent burst through the dust and rushed towards them with overwhelming force.

"Cheep!!"

As if offended, the Black Swamp Dragon roared with a deep, resonant nasal sound. The violent pressure materialized into a tangible wave of air, blasting the surrounding pool water into a curtain of water several meters high.

However, the giant serpent did not retreat. Instead, it boldly raised its head and rushed into the Black Swamp Dragon's Lair, its tongue flicking out with a hiss, its emerald green vertical pupils filled with greed.

Black Swamp Dragon could no longer tolerate the provocation, and its crimson snake tail twisted wildly.

"Snapped!"

The sound of the whip cutting through the air rang out ahead of schedule.

The Black Swamp Dragon's tail, which it had been whipping around wildly, instantly left a dark red mark. Its powerful and heavy movements faltered, and even its scarlet snake eyes flashed with a hint of clarity.

Li Xiangming stood on the head of the Blackwater Serpent, looking down at the serpent demon below.

This demon has extraordinary origins and is very likely a beast comparable to the Blackwater Serpent. His whip strike looks fierce, but it can't actually hurt the opponent at all.

On the contrary, even a casual bite from the other party can cause fatal damage to the Blackwater Serpent.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Granny Lai behind the snake demon: "Your Five Scattered Sect owes me a huge favor this time."

"As long as Master Li is willing to save my life, I and the Five Scattered Sect are willing to repay even the greatest favor, let alone a huge one."

Grandma Lai leaned against the tree trunk, slowly got up, and her face was more solemn than ever before.

Even if it means giving up all the knowledge I've acquired throughout my life?

Li Xiangming raised an eyebrow.

Grandma Lai was stunned for a moment, but only hesitated for a second before closing her eyes: "Even with all my life's learning!"

"With your words of comfort, I am relieved."

Li Xiangming smiled slightly and slowly flew into the air.

He had witnessed Granny Lai's sealing technique using copper coins when he arrived. To be able to control a snake demon in the Bone Fusion stage with only Qi Refining cultivation, even for just a moment, was an extraordinary skill. In addition, Granny Lai was also skilled in divination.

Both represent missing elements of the Li family's heritage.

For these reasons alone, he had a reason to take action.

Not to mention, the Blackwater Serpent's restless nature constantly influenced him through the Dragon Binding Seal.

This demon will be the Black Water Serpent's opportunity!
The Blackwater Serpent's opportunity is also his opportunity!

Li Xiangming stood suspended in mid-air, his green robe swaying in the wind, and layers of black mist surged out, instantly occupying most of the black swamp.

His voice also became ethereal: "Fellow Daoist, please leave, lest I harm the innocent."
-
Jiming Mountain.

Several streaks of light landed on the shallow beach in front of the island.

More than a dozen disciples of the Five Scattered Sect who had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded them.

"It's all gone."

Before they could speak, Zhang Can shouted in a gruff voice.

The disciples looked at each other, but none of them dared to ask any questions, and they all left.

The scene calmed down for a moment.

Nangong Mu, held under Zhang Can's arm, stared blankly at the scene before suddenly losing his balance and falling to the ground.

When he got up, his mouth was covered in mud and sand, and his face was covered in a thick layer of wet mud.

Zhang Can reached out his large hand, stroked the top of his head, and straightened his head.

"Master."

Nangong Mu looked at Zhang Can's expressionless face and opened his mouth.

Zhang Can did not reply.

The two of them just stared at each other.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Can finally let go of her hand and exhaled a breath of stale air: "Mu Mu, I'm very disappointed in you."

Nangong Mu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to grab his master's sleeve, begging for forgiveness.

But by then, Zhang Can had already turned and left.

The Flower Monk carried the severely injured and unconscious Dr. Jiu closely behind.

Only Master Xie paused. Nangong Mu suddenly grabbed him, but when he met Master Xie's gaze, his imposing manner instantly weakened, and his voice became barely audible: "Uncle Xie, will Grandma come back?"

"do not know."

Master Xie feigned calmness, then glanced at the distraught Nangong Mu, and finally couldn't hold back, saying earnestly, "Mu Mu, you are already fifteen years old, the chief disciple of the Five Scattered Sect, not a child! Every decision you make will affect those around you. When will you finally understand this?"

The more Xie Daoren spoke, the heavier his anger became. He grabbed Nangong Mu's shoulder and said, "Your master and I, along with Granny Lai, Monk Hua and others, have taught you everything we know because we don't want to waste your talent. We believe you can grow into someone like your brother-in-law! If you always remain this childish, your talent and your cultivation will become a slow poison that the Five Scattered Sect has swallowed."

After a pause, Master Xie added, "I hope that the Black Swamp incident will only happen once. Otherwise, for everyone's safety, we will have no choice but to expel you from the sect."

Having said that, Master Xie flicked his sleeves and left.

Nangong Mu stared blankly at his retreating figure, frozen in place.

Upon seeing this, the Taoist Qingyang sighed softly.

He stayed at Jiming Mountain for over a month and witnessed Nangong Mu's mischievousness.

Being mischievous and childlike is nothing to worry about.

Everyone goes through this.

However, Nangong Mu lacked a sense of awe from beginning to end.

This child wouldn't consider the vast difference between his sixth-level Qi Refining cultivation and the peak-stage Spirit Awakening stage Black Yin Cotton Bone King Serpent. In his eyes, if he couldn't win, he'd run; if he couldn't run, he'd find someone to help him.

He wasn't afraid even without anyone's help; at most, he would complain that he was too slow.

This fearless mentality may have made him forge ahead in his spiritual practice, but it has also brought him more trouble.

The Five Scattered Sect was merely a small sect, clearly unable to withstand Nangong Mu, this "disaster star." It's understandable that Zhang Can and Xie Daoren were angry about this.

"Master!"

A soft call suddenly came.

Qingyang Daoist looked up and saw Sun Siyan appear before him.

He stepped forward and patted his beloved student's head: "Let's go back."

"What's up with him?"

"Let him have some peace and quiet."

Sun Siyan hesitated, then turned to meet Nangong Mu's eyes, wanting to say something, but was pulled away by Qingyang Daoist.
