Cultivating Immortality in a Family: I Prove Immortality Through the Chaotic Dao Realm

Chapter 153 Chen Qian: Sneaking Things Up? I Like It!

"hiss--!"

This happened so fast, it was so shocking!
From Wu Yiqian's sudden sneak attack to the mysterious sword light slashing across;

Then, the killing was carried out by Qian Rushan's seal in the blink of an eye!
The cultivators below who witnessed this scene, whether they were disciples of the three families or independent cultivators, all gasped in shock and were deeply shaken!

All they saw was Wu Yiqian suddenly freeze in mid-air, and then be smashed to death by Qian Laozu's seal!
I have absolutely no idea what happened.

Qian Rushan was surprised, delighted, and puzzled.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught only a flash of fire and a flash of sword light, the power of which made him tremble.

Even divine sense couldn't detect any specific information.

His gaze swept across the chaotic street corner below, only to find a scene of devastation and a stunned crowd.

The owner of that mysterious sword light seemed to have never appeared.

But Wu Yiqian is already dead and gone, which cannot be faked!

The black-robed demonic cultivator who was restraining him was also startled by this sudden change, causing his attack to falter.

He saw Wu Yiqian turn into a bloody mist and a mass of flesh, and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

What on earth just happened?
He was a little further away and had no idea about the details of Wu Yiqian's death, only that he was dead beyond any doubt!
What followed was an endless sense of terror rising in my heart.

The most crucial part of the plan collapsed in an instant!
"You scoundrel! It's your turn!"

Qian Rushan was greatly encouraged and his pressure was greatly reduced.

There was no time to think any further, so he quickly turned his attention to the demonic cultivator.

He roared, and the golden seal, carrying the residual power of slaying a powerful enemy and the power of the great formation, slammed fiercely into the black-robed demonic cultivator who had not yet fully recovered his senses!

Outside the great formation, Mo Yunzi, who was urging the Hundred Ghosts Soul Devouring Banner to fiercely attack the formation, suddenly had a drastic change in expression!

He had just sensed Wu Yiqian's aura vanish in an instant through a secret technique, and his expression darkened, his eyes flashing with cold light!

"Who?! Who killed Wu Yiqian?!"

He was filled with shock and anger.

Wu Yiqian's unexpected death undoubtedly brought huge changes to his plans.

What chilled him even more was that, with Wu Yiqian's death, he vaguely sensed that the situation was heading in an unpredictable direction...

Chen Qian, hidden in the shadows, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

He can shatter magical artifacts, break through protective shields, and destroy physical bodies with a single strike; one can imagine how powerful the force he outputs in that instant is.

His hands were trembling slightly at that moment.

In that instant, he unleashed the Nine Fiends Breaking Boundary Spear, the Sunflower Water Heavenly Flower Curse, and the Blazing Fire Sky-Sweeping Step in succession, and also borrowed most of Xiao Yin's soul power, reaching the limit of the power his body could withstand.

It also almost drained most of his magical power and divine consciousness.

Now, even his soul is experiencing intense dizziness.

Fortunately, the soul link with Xiao Yin was still intact. Xiao Yin was also aware of Chen Qian's current condition and was using her soul power to nourish his soul and help him recover quickly.

For him, launching such a powerful attack was still somewhat of a strain.

But the results were also extremely impressive!

It should be noted that Wu Yiqian had already advanced to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Not only was his magical power and spiritual sense several times stronger than those of cultivators who had just established their foundation, but he also summoned a defensive spiritual artifact at the last moment.

They handled it quite well, but they just couldn't make it through.

Chen Qian weighed the storage bag he had casually taken from Wu Yiqian in his hand and first put it into the Wheel of Fate.

Then, pulling the still incredibly shocked Chen Yunyi along, they headed towards the site of the fierce battle within the array of light screens.

Chen Qian's move this time was swift as lightning and perfectly timed.

He then activated the Harmony with the World Technique with all his might.

Neither Qian Rushan nor the demonic cultivator surnamed Li saw the whole process clearly, nor did they have time to track his movements.

So they don't even know who did it.

But how could Chen Yunyi, who had been with him all along, not know?

Now, only one demonic cultivator surnamed Li remains in the inner sanctum, and he has been completely suppressed by Qian Rushan. It is estimated that he will soon die and his cultivation will be extinguished.

There's no need for him to take action.

really--

The two hadn't gone far when they heard Qian Rushan roar, "You little devil, prepare to die!"

Seeing the situation was dire, the demonic cultivator tried to escape, but was suppressed by the great formation, and his speed was reduced by several times.

Qian Rushan used his seal to forcefully suppress the attack, and then unleashed a flying halberd to launch a fierce attack from the side. The demonic cultivator surnamed Li could only struggle to hold on.

"The three patrolmen, listen to my command: concentrate your fire and attack!"

Qian Rushan knew that the great formation was under fierce attack and that no time could be wasted, so he called on the disciples of the three families to help kill the enemy.

Just now, the power of the great formation was not used to suppress the demonic cultivator. Given the speed of the demonic cultivator, the disciples of the three families standing nearby could not attack him.

It's different now.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the demonic cultivator had already put away his dagger and put on two defensive magical artifacts, defending himself while fleeing.

However, under the suppression of the great formation, it was already extremely difficult to defend against Qian Rushan's seal and flying halberd, let alone have the strength to resist the siege of dozens of magical artifacts.

As the saying goes, many ants can kill an elephant. One or two attacks may not break through its defenses, but the attacks on it at the same time will be far more than just those few ants...

"Ah~!"

Chen Qian and his companion had only been gone for a few breaths when they heard this shrill scream!
Chen Yunyi looked back and saw that the demonic cultivator in mid-air had been pierced into a hedgehog and died on the spot!
"Hoo~!"

Although she didn't make a move, she felt her heart pounding and her mouth dry.

The once high and mighty Foundation Establishment cultivators died one after another in front of her within a few dozen breaths.

One of them, in particular, died at the hands of his cousin, whom he considered someone who needed his care.

Although she knew that Chen Qian had been able to kill Zhao Songde months ago and that his supernatural abilities were already superior to her own, she had not witnessed it with her own eyes.

In my memory, the other person was still that little boy who grew up with my sister.

It's only been a few years?

They've grown to the point where I have to look up to them.

"Sister Yunyi, we'll just assist with defense as usual later."

Chen Qian tightened his grip on the jade-like woman's hand and said softly.

"Without internal troubles, the great formation will not be so easy to break through."

In just a short while, Chen Qian had recovered most of his condition.

The chaotic spirit body is ever-renewing, infused with the spiritual energy of the Wheel of Fate, and merges with Xiao Yin's soul power. This support makes his ability to fight continuously incredibly powerful.

As long as he doesn't have to use his full strength in every attack, he's practically unkillable.

"Mmm," Chen Yunyi replied obediently.

She had only secretly harbored feelings for Chen Qian.

Now, with the addition of a heavy filter, he is truly regarded as the pillar of the family, the golden beam that holds up the sea.

On both sides of the great array of light, a fierce battle was raging.

But on the Bone Boat, Mo Yunzi's expression had become truly remarkable.

Dark clouds covered the face, their color as black as ink.

Just now, he sensed the death of Junior Brother Li again.

Aoba Mountain is now free of internal troubles. Is there any need to continue this battle?

Based on his investigation over this period, he was certain that there were no Core Formation cultivators, or even late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, within Qingye Mountain.

But why did Wu Yiqian and Li Shidi fail so quickly?
In the end what happened?
As a demonic cultivator who had infiltrated the Li Kingdom to stir up trouble, he was indifferent to the deaths of Li and Wu.

But this operation consumed so much effort and even required the use of four second-tier sacred insects...

If he loses everything and gets nothing, his return to the Soul Devouring Hall won't end well either.

No!

If we retreat now, the affair involving the Lu, Zhou, and Wu families will be impossible to keep secret!
Without these subdued allies, not only would all his previous efforts be in vain, but he would also face pursuit and killing by the Beast Taming Sect.

The best outcome would be to escape back into the Demon Alliance's territory.

But can he bear the punishment from the sect?
Upon realizing this, Mo Yunzi's expression turned fierce. He unleashed his cultivation, and the Hundred Ghosts Soul Devouring Banner flashed with gray light, its offensive power increasing dramatically!
At the same time, he transmitted his voice to the other Foundation Establishment cultivators present: "Fellow Daoists Lu Zhou, I estimate that Fellow Daoist Wu and Junior Brother Li have perished in the market."

"If Junior Brother Yin and I simply pack up and leave, your two families will definitely be thoroughly investigated by the Beast Taming Sect, and I don't need to say more about the outcome."

"The only way for you to survive now is to go all out and destroy Qingye Mountain!"

Lu Zhengting and the other two looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

They never imagined that Wu Yiqian and his companion would perish in just a quarter of an hour or two!
At this moment, in their eyes, Mount Aoba seemed to have transformed into a ferocious beast that devoured people without spitting out the bones.

But Mo Yunzi's words also make sense. If they cannot kill all the cultivators from the three families and the high-level rogue cultivators inside and cover up their crimes of colluding with demonic cultivators, then the Beast Taming Sect will surely confiscate their property and exterminate their clan.

The outcome was already predetermined the moment they were implanted with the Soul-Eating Worm.

Zhou Libo was the first to speak out in support: "Fellow Daoist Mo is right. We are sworn enemies with these three families. If we don't take this opportunity to destroy Qingye Mountain, we won't survive either."

Lu Zhengting and his companion understood that they had no way out.

Even if they wanted to give up, Mo Yunzi would let them go, but as long as the Qian family reported the situation, the Beast Taming Sect would not let them live.

Wu Yiqian's body is still in the market!

It simply cannot withstand scrutiny!
There is no other choice but to go down this path to the bitter end.

Before coming to Qingye Mountain, all three families secretly sent away several outstanding juniors and took away some of their resources.

They were sent to various immortal cities in the Li Kingdom to lie low.

Don't even think about returning to the family if you don't have significant future development.

They had long been aware that even if they could use Mo Yunzi's scheme to destroy the Chen, Zhao, and Qian families, their own family's future would not be good.

After exchanging a few words, the group reached a consensus. Lu Zhengting and the others stopped holding back and went all out!
The cultivators from all three families disguised themselves and changed their clothes.

While they might not be able to keep it from the Chen, Zhao, and Qian families, who were extremely familiar with them, they could still manage to keep it from the other independent cultivators.

If they could really slaughter Qingye Mountain, at least they could prolong their lives for a while and make more arrangements for the family.

As Lu Zhengting and his two companions unleashed their full power, and directed their family members to form a coordinated attack, the intensity of the assault instantly multiplied several times over.

Instantly, the light screen of the Rock-Suppressing Mountain Formation flickered wildly, emitting a faint creaking sound, as if it were about to break under the strain.

Inside the great formation, Zhao Xinhai, who was guarding the side, had just received a message from Qian Rushan that the internal troubles had been eliminated. Before he could even rejoice, his expression changed drastically.

With such fierce attacks from the outside, the Rock-Suppressing Formation really won't last long.

"Rushan! Come quickly!" Zhao Xinhai was anxious and hurriedly summoned Old Ancestor Qian for support.

He quickly took out a pill and swallowed it, then directed the disciples of the three families beside him to do their best to relieve the pressure on the great formation.

In just a few breaths, Qian Rushan arrived.

After killing the demonic cultivator surnamed Li, he hurriedly gathered another batch of spirit stones and sent them to the core of the market array to supply the array's needs.

Accompanying him were most of the inspection personnel, as well as Chen Qian and Chen Yunyi.

Without needing to say more, once they reached the light barrier of the great array, they immediately released magical artifacts and talismans to intercept external attacks.

Qian Rushan also used all his strength to transmit magic power through the array flags, mobilizing the energy of the great array to withstand the strong attack of Mo Yunzi and the others.

With the addition of this new force, the situation was temporarily stabilized, preventing a complete collapse.

"Old Zhao, among the three families guarding the main hall for the spirit offerings, many of those with shallow cultivation were injured by the power of the great formation."

"If these demons continue to rage, many people may find it difficult to hold on."

"We can't send out a distress message now, so we need to make plans as soon as possible!"

While Qian Rushan was fully focused on controlling the formation, he spoke to Zhao Xinhai with some concern.

"what do you mean?"

Zhao Xinhai also realized that there were at least five Foundation Establishment cultivators outside, and the remaining hundred or so were all late-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

The number of high-level cultivators far surpasses that of the three families within Qingye Mountain.

Even with the protection of a powerful formation, they can only protect themselves in the short term.

As the battle continues, the majority of disciples in the early stages of Qi Refining will soon run out of mana, and many will be severely injured by the backlash from the formation, leaving them unable to fight any longer.

Spirit stones are not inexhaustible, so we must think of more ways to deal with them.

"Mobilize the scattered cultivators?" Zhao Xinhai asked tentatively.

“That’s right!” Qian Rushan nodded.

Resources are meant to be used in critical moments.

Now is the perfect time to hire independent cultivators.

With the internal troubles resolved, the attackers are now demonic cultivators. The rogue cultivators were already worried about being slaughtered after the formation was broken.

At this point, offering benefits and mobilizing a little will likely garner widespread support and a large following.

After discussing the matter and finding it feasible, the two summoned Chen Hongjin, the Chen family's person in charge in the market, and entrusted him with the task of mobilizing the independent cultivators.

Upon receiving the assignment and clarifying the arrangements, Chen Hongjin hurriedly went.

Chen Qian overheard some details and realized that even the market couldn't get any information out, so they couldn't wait for the Beast Taming Sect's support.
While wielding the golden light wheel to slay various attacks from the outside world, he also cast talismans to cause some trouble for the opposing cultivators.

They supported each other and performed in a proper and unassuming manner, without trying to steal the spotlight.

Zhao Jinglan, who was not far away, was different. He occupied a huge defensive space by himself, and his magic sword flew up and down with amazing power.

Sword cultivators do have an advantage in combat; a single sword strike can break through all techniques, making them dominant among those of the same level!

He not only defeated the attacking enemy so badly that they couldn't even lift their heads, but he also kept launching counterattacks, making him incredibly popular for a time.

Such brilliance truly makes him worthy of being called the number one Qi Refining cultivator among the three families, far surpassing Wu Songde, who lost his life at Chen Qian's hands.

No wonder he had the confidence to pursue Chen Yunyi.

With this eye-catching bag to draw attention, Chen Qian was happy to relax.

Occasionally, they might launch some attacks that exceed their capabilities, but if they are concealed slightly, they will go unnoticed.

Just moments ago, Chen Yunyi unleashed an Ice Soul Sword Qi attack on a Zhou family cultivator, forcing him into a frantic state—

Chen Qian seized the opportunity, used the Sky-Soaring Step to instantly appear in front of the light screen, and stretched one hand out from outside the light screen...

Nine Fiends Breaking Boundaries Spear, unleash!
He unleashed this divine power with all his might, which could have threatened the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. This time, he only sought speed, and the power only reached the threshold of Foundation Establishment.

But it was enough to kill the Zhou family cultivator with a single blow, sending him tumbling overboard.

Only a short scream remained!
This caused immediate chaos among the people on the enemy's airship, and their attack was momentarily halted.

At this moment, Chen Qian had returned to his original position. Apart from Chen Yunyi, who had a slight sense of what was happening, even the Foundation Establishment cultivators like Mo Yunzi did not know who had killed him!

This is because at that time, the battlefield was filled with magical artifacts, talismans, and spells, which greatly affected the detection by divine sense.

Furthermore, even Mo Yunzi, who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, only had a divine sense range of fifty or sixty feet, which was far from enough to cover the battlefield of these hundreds of people.
