Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 76 The Ancestor of the Chen Family (Please continue reading)

That's why he didn't let his family members take action directly. Instead, he sent Elder Chen Dong, who was best at covert surveillance, to follow the man and investigate before deciding whether to make a move.

Although they also engage in the activities of thieves, they do not act recklessly like those thieves. Instead, they carefully investigate their targets and only send out men to ambush and kill them after confirming that there is no risk.

These family-based cultivators have a strong foundation behind them, so they must be careful in all their actions. If they offend an enemy with a powerful background, things could get really bad.

Most people in the Mingkong Islands have connections. Although the Chen family is not the strongest among the Golden Core families of the Mingkong Alliance, no one will stop them from gathering information.

As long as the other party has ever stayed in the Mingkong Alliance, some clues can be found.

Furthermore, the fact that the other party claimed to be the owner of Luoxia Island made it even easier to investigate.

As long as Su You's identity is confirmed to be genuine, it's fine to delay taking action.

Not far away, around the street corner, Su You smiled and silently said, "Looks like they've taken the bait."

His mental energy hadn't left Tingyu Pavilion just now.

Su You's spiritual power at the Golden Core level is beyond the detection of these Foundation Establishment cultivators, let alone the fact that he used a secret spiritual power technique to conceal it. Even if he were to investigate some Golden Core cultivators, he might not be discovered.

really!

Before Su You even left Aurora Immortal City, he noticed a Foundation Establishment cultivator silently following him. The cultivator's aura was low and his movements were secretive, making it difficult for others to notice him.

If he hadn't possessed the spiritual power of the Golden Core level, he might not have been able to notice the other person in the crowd.

Su You pretended not to notice and flew slowly at the speed of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

He also did not want the enemy to make a move immediately.

It would be best to send more people over so that we can catch them all at once.

Moreover, Su You specifically bought an extra batch of powerful talismans at the end, just so they would send more Foundation Establishment cultivators over.

After flying for three hours, Su You finally returned to Luoxia Island. The formation on the island had already been hidden to prevent the enemy from seeing it and being too afraid to send anyone over.

Under his mental observation, Chen Dong waited outside the island for half an hour before sneaking in.

"Xiao Bei, suppress him and send him over," Su You ordered directly.

He didn't even need to lift a finger to help a cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

As soon as he finished speaking, the hidden formation appeared and activated, and streams of earthy yellow energy directly wrapped around Chen Dong and sent him into the wizard tower.

The advantage of array formations lies in this: their ability to control and suppress from a distance is something that wizard towers cannot achieve. This is why Su You has been committed to combining two different array systems to create a more powerful wizard tower.

In a short while, Su You completed the soul enslavement. Looking at Chen Dong, whose eyes were filled with fanaticism, he asked directly, "Tell me your plan. Will you send more people over later?"

"Master, Chen Qi has instructed me to first investigate the situation on the island, and then decide whether to send more people over based on the information gathered here," Chen Dong reported immediately.

"Okay, go and report to him, and tell him to send a few more Foundation Establishment cultivators. Tell him that there is a high-grade second-tier array defending this place, and that you alone cannot break through it," Su You instructed.

His goal was not merely to acquire a few Foundation Establishment cultivators. These Foundation Establishment cultivators were just appetizers, bait. Su You's true target was the Chen family's ancestor, a True Person at the early Golden Core stage.

Otherwise, Su You wouldn't have needed Qi Yuan to investigate. If it were just a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, there would be no need for him to take action.

A True Person in the early stage of the Golden Core realm is within the range that he can enslave and control; if they are stronger, he may not be able to completely control them.

However, killing a Golden Core cultivator in the early stages is easy, but suppressing them and preventing them from escaping is more difficult.

This was also part of Su You's plan to lure the Golden Core cultivators of the Chen family to Luoxia Island, where they would be at his mercy.

At that time, he only needs to control the Golden Core cultivators of the Chen family and some key Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the entire Chen family will be under his control.

With a Golden Core cultivator serving him, Luoxia Island will definitely be able to develop rapidly.

After waiting on the island for a day, the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Chen family who came were also successfully enslaved.

"Do you have any way to lure the family's ancestor out?" Su You asked.

Su You didn't know much about the Chen family's ancestor, only that the other party's cultivation level was at the early stage of Golden Core.

Therefore, they still need to come up with a suitable reason to lure the other party to Luoxia Island.

“Master, why don’t we use the same reason you gave before to lure the patriarch of the family here?” a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Chen family said. “We just need to say that the great formation here is a second-tier top-grade one, and we cannot break through it.”

“Yes, because we have already attacked our master, we must exterminate him to prevent being exposed. If we cannot succeed now, it is reasonable to ask our ancestor for help.” Another Chen family member who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage nodded.

“I think we should add another reason: there may be a second-tier spirit stone mine on Luoxia Island,” Chen Dong, who had been silent until now, said.

"According to the family's investigation, there are only second-grade low-level spiritual veins on Master's Sunset Island. It is unreasonable that he can now use a second-grade high-level formation. If we use the reason that there is a suspected second-grade spirit stone vein, then it makes sense."

Because the location of spirit stone veins increases the grade and concentration of spiritual energy, second-tier top-grade formations can naturally be used.

"Great reason!" Su You clapped his hands, very satisfied.

The allure of spirit stone veins is self-evident; even if they only exist, the Golden Core ancestor of the Chen family would definitely come in person.

Moreover, this also explains why Su You, a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, possesses so many spirit stones.

“Master, since that’s the case, let’s go back first, report to the ancestor, and trick him into coming here,” Chen Dong said.

Of the five of them, two stayed behind to pretend to keep watch, while the other three went back to report, which would increase credibility.

After all, it was impossible for the Chen family patriarch not to have imagined that several Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family had already been enslaved and that he had been deceived.

Although the cultivation world has methods of control, cultivators can only control the life and death of others, unlike Su You, who can change the mind of others.

Even if such a secret technique exists, it is not something that low-level cultivators can master. For example, the Blood Abyss Organization possesses a similar secret technique, but this is not about controlling the soul; it is merely brainwashing, and there is a way to undo it.

Once Su You is enslaved, there is no way to break free.
