Clan Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

At the summit of Yunjing Mountain, Yun Ruifeng, seeing that the cultivators below had finally made a move, turned and gave the order:

"Pass down the order: the Zhang family has begun their attack on the mountain. Tell the clansmen to prepare."

"Yes... Chieftain."

A Yun family cultivator standing nearby trembled, not daring to look at him any longer, and hurriedly went to relay the order.

There's no other reason than that Yun Ruifeng has changed so much compared to five days ago!

He used to be a robust middle-aged cultivator, but now?

His cheeks were deeply sunken, his hair was completely white, and even his body looked like a withered tree that had been drained of moisture, making his once well-fitting Taoist robe appear somewhat empty.

It's as if the slightest touch would cause it to fall apart.

"At the peak of Foundation Establishment, perhaps there's a chance for a battle..."

Yun Ruifeng licked the wrinkles on his lips. The pill that Yun Jinghao had given him five days ago was something he had obtained in an ancient cultivation cave.

It is a fourth-grade top-quality pill, the Crimson Blood Pill!

This pill uses the cultivator's lifespan as a price to forcibly push their cultivation level to a breakthrough. He had already been stuck in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage for a long time, but after taking this pill, he immediately broke through to the late stage.

Just this level of cultivation cost him twenty years of his lifespan; the price was considerable!

But Yun Ruifeng was still not satisfied.

Zhang Yuanhua was a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even though he had broken through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, he was still no match for him. So he went to Yun Jinghao and asked for a Crimson Blood Pill and a few auxiliary pills.

With the help of the second Crimson Blood Pill, he is now infinitely close to the peak of Foundation Establishment, and he only has a few years left to live.

He also received a talisman from the other party, which could be used in times of crisis.

But he didn't regret it. As long as his son could break through, his Yun family would not be destroyed, and there would still be a glorious day.

"My son is right. What's this talk of immortality or demonic paths? As long as it makes me stronger, it's a true immortal technique!"

Yun Ruifeng seemed to have gone somewhat mad, and his aura began to become uncontrollable. The expressions of the Yun family cultivators around him changed, and they all took a step back.

They didn't know what their clan leader had done, but they were certain that he had used something he shouldn't have.

'Clan Chief...'

The group, their faces grim, were about to investigate when they noticed a young man in black robes walking down from the mountains, who laughed:

"Father, the Zhang family has begun their attack. We should go and defend against them."

"My son is right, let's go."

These words pulled Yun Ruifeng back to reality. He blurred into motion and rushed towards the outside of the formation, shouting as he looked at the five streaks of light gradually approaching him:

"Why have you, members of the Zhang family, invaded my Yun family's territory!"

"Is this Yun Ruifeng?"

Zhang Lingyu and the other four were stunned when they saw the other person's inhuman and ghostly appearance. Lin Yan, who was beside him, quickly said:

"My lords, it wasn't like this six days ago."

"Back then, he was only in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Judging from now, he would be at least in the late-Foundation Establishment stage. He must have used some kind of elixir or evil technique to enhance his strength."

"It's the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but it's almost at the peak of Foundation Establishment."

As the strongest person in the area, Zhang Yuanhua saw things most clearly and immediately stopped taking it seriously, instructing:

"I'll hold him off for a bit, you all focus on attacking the formation."

"Also, be careful of that third-tier demonic beast."

"clear."

The four nodded in agreement. Zhang Lingyu looked at the somewhat delirious man before her and transmitted her voice:

"Clan Chief Yun, you and my family have an irreconcilable feud. Why ask such a trivial question?"

"You colluded with bandit cultivators to attack my Zhang family's vassals, and now you're using evil methods to break through your cultivation level. Naturally, everyone has the right to kill you!"

"You're talking nonsense! This is divine magic!"

"The method to become an immortal!"

Upon hearing the words "heretical magic," Yun Ruifeng became even more frenzied, roaring:

"Today I'll show you the power of my immortal techniques!"

This shout used immense magical power, and the five people took a step back in unison. The cultivators below the mountain could not bear it even more, and some of them even started bleeding from their five orifices, writhing on the ground in pain!

"I will go and stop him; I would appreciate your assistance, fellow Daoists!"

With a wave of his long sleeves, Zhang Yuanhua unleashed a torrent of purple flames. Tian Yan and his companion secretly groaned inwardly, but there was no turning back now, so they could only leap forward.

"You three old scoundrels, you've come at the right time! Perfect opportunity to kill them all together!"

Yun Ruifeng directly summoned his family's treasured Lingyu Xuan Ruler. This magical artifact was originally pure and bright, but now, after being tainted by its master's magical power, it emitted a sky full of blood-red light!

Undeterred by the surging purple flames, it even managed to deflect them.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he took out another talisman and threw it fiercely at the old man.

Tier 3 Top-Grade Talisman!

As early as when the beast tide ended, the Yun family knew that this day would come sooner or later. In order to deal with the Zhang family, in addition to the Foundation Establishment Pill, they also exchanged their contribution points for a large number of talismans and magic artifacts.

Now that we've reached a point of life and death, there's no need to hold back anymore.

"Purple Sun Fire Cover"

Zhang Yuanhua was no pushover either. Even though Yun Ruifeng was nearing the peak of Foundation Establishment, the old man's cultivation was genuine. He held the Five Animal Fire Fan in one hand and used magic to neutralize all kinds of spells.

Tian Yan and his companion dared not get too close. Watching the increasingly intense battle before them, they only dared to use spells and talismans to fight back.

Rogue cultivators are still rogue cultivators. In their early years, they had only asked Zhang Yuanhua to refine a few pills. They came this time because of some past friendship.

I thought that the combined attack of the five Foundation Establishment cultivators would be overwhelming, but the scene turned out like this.

Now, neither retreating nor advancing is an option, so we can only try to profit from the chaos.

Zhang Lingyu, watching from afar, took in the entire scene. He felt somewhat helpless, and all he could hope for now was that the Grand Elder would quickly suppress the other party.

"Sir, what should we do?"

Looking at the grand formation at Yunjing Mountain, Lin Yan hesitated and asked, "Are we just going to stand here like this?"

It's completely impossible for two early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and a fourth-tier formation-breaking bead to break the great formation, but we can't help Zhang Yuanhua right now, so we can only watch them fight.

"us..."

Just as Zhang Lingyu was about to suggest trying it out, two dark figures flashed out from the formation. One went straight for Lin Yan, while the other actually pounced on him.

"Bang!"

Two Foundation Establishment puppets flew out of the storage bag in an instant, blocking the sudden attack for the two of them.

Seeing that their attack had failed, the two dark figures took a step back.

"This is..."

When the figure in front of her stopped, Zhang Lingyu's pupils shrank. She saw a young man in black sitting on a demonic beast, looking at her with an extremely mocking gaze.

Needless to say, that monster was a third-tier monster, the Heavenly Horned Leopard.

As for the boy's identity, that remains unknown.

"Is it a newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Yun family, or an outsider they've hired?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Lingyu's mind. This situation had exceeded his expectations, and he cursed inwardly:

"I should have used the intelligence system to check."

But it was too late now, so he immediately gave the order:

"Guest Lin, you go deal with the Heavenly Horned Leopard, I'll deal with this cultivator, and I'll also send a puppet to support you."

"Very well, thank you, sir." Lin Yan was overjoyed. He wasn't very confident in dealing with the Heavenly Horned Leopard by himself, but with a puppet added, his chances of winning would be much greater.

Having said that, he made a spell with his hands and headed towards the demon beast.

Seeing the man and beast wrestling together, Zhang Lingyu re-examined the boy in front of her and asked:

"The Yun family is on the verge of destruction, yet you dare to wade into this muddy water. If you had left early, you might have saved your life."

"Zhang Lingyu, I am Yun Ruifeng's only son, the young patriarch of the Yun family. Are you really willing to let me leave?" Yun Jinghao smiled and continued:

"You do have some skill; I'll come and see for myself today."

"Yun Jinghao, didn't he go out traveling?"

Zhang Lingyu frowned slightly. After the other party mentioned his name, he finally had a vague recollection of it. This Yun Jinghao, like him, had gone out to travel when he reached the late stage of Qi Refining and had not been heard from for many years. Even Yun Ruifeng himself thought that he had died out there.

Unexpectedly, he returned safely a few months ago, and his cultivation level had reached the peak of Qi Refining.

"Judging by his aura, he probably broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage not long ago. Since he dares to fight me, he must have something to rely on. I'd better be careful."

Zhang Lingyu observed that his aura was even stronger than that of Li Heihu, who had only recently entered the sect, and realized that the other party must have received the orthodox inheritance of the demonic path.

He dared not underestimate it and immediately summoned another puppet and the Soul-Devouring Peak.

"It's actually a Soul-Devouring Bee. You're quite lucky, kid."

Yun Jinghao was quite surprised to see the dark mass of spirit insects in the sky, but he did not panic. Instead, he took out a small cloth bag from his storage bag, from which a pale green mist emanated.

The moment the Soul-Devouring Bees made contact, their bodies turned into a pool of viscous liquid, causing a dense black rain to fall from the sky.

That's not the main problem. Some unlucky spirits on the ground accidentally came into contact with the black rain, and their bodies were corroded with small holes, causing them to writhe in pain.

"It's not some ordinary poisonous fog, what exactly is it?"

Zhang Lingyu felt a pang of heartache as she watched swarms of Spirit-Devouring Bees fall from mid-air, and quickly sent them back into her spirit beast pouch.

At the same time, facing the black mist spreading towards him, he immediately used a top-grade third-tier elephant armor talisman for defense, and then summoned two flying swords, shooting them towards the bag-shaped magic weapon.

But Yun Jinghao wouldn't let him have his way. A rope flew out from his sleeve, blocking the path of the flying sword. This magic weapon was made of some unknown material, and it was very hard. Even the Gengjin sword energy had little effect on it.

Instead, one of them was tightly bound and unable to move.

Zhang Lingyu's expression darkened. Both the cloth bag from before and the rope now were of high quality, at least of the power of a high-grade Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"This Yun Jinghao is truly a man of great hidden talent."

Since they don't have much of an advantage in terms of magical artifacts, they will fight each other with spells.

He first used another Elephant Armor Talisman, then spat out a sky full of purple flames that attacked the black-clad youth. Surprisingly, this burst of purple flames actually made the youth retreat slightly after touching the poisonous mist.

Yun Jinghao remained calm and composed, flicking his long sleeves lightly. Blood mist surged around him, deflecting all the incoming purple flames.

"Zhang Lingyu, back and forth is the way to treat guests. Take this palm strike."

He smiled slightly, and instead of retracting the blood mist, he condensed it into a bloody handprint in mid-air and slammed it down on the boy.

Blood River Great Handprint!

Although this technique is only of the fourth rank, it is in no way inferior to the power of a fifth-rank technique. As soon as the hand seal is struck, its power immediately makes all the cultivators in the audience take notice.

"My son is indeed incredibly brave!"

Yun Ruifeng, who was in the center of the battlefield, was overjoyed. Even a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator would find such power threatening. Dealing with a mere early-Foundation Establishment cultivator would be a piece of cake.

"Clan Chief Yun, you should worry about yourself!" Zhang Yuanhua, who was fighting him, had a gloomy expression. This situation was far beyond his expectations. Although he was worried about Zhang Lingyu's safety, he believed that the other party would definitely have a way to resolve it.

On the other hand, Yun Ruifeng, who was fighting him, was at a disadvantage, but he was able to withstand every move steadily. He could even easily neutralize the attacks from Tian Yan and the other two who were assisting him.

Not only that, the other party was also constantly taking some kind of pill, allowing his cultivation level to continuously approach the peak of Foundation Establishment.

"The best course of action now is to quickly deal with Yun Ruifeng so that we can go and support Lingyu."

It's impossible for the old man to rely on Tian Yan and the other two. After witnessing Yun Jinghao's strength, the two of them had long since disappeared, and they probably wouldn't go even if asked.

"Unaffiliated cultivators are indeed unreliable!"

......

As the Blood River Handprint relentlessly approached him, Zhang Lingyu calculated in his mind that even using the flying shuttle to dodge was too late; only a head-on confrontation could resolve the situation.

Blood Demon's Mighty Body!

This method is a blood-forging body technique. After so many years of cultivation, it has reached a high level of mastery. Now, his physical body is comparable to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. Another advantage is that, because he has been using the demon blood hammer for many years, he has a lot of resistance to blood energy.

Then, lightning gathered in his right hand, condensing into a large handprint to meet the attack.

"Boom!"

Two handprints exploded in mid-air, blood energy and lightning intertwining, blowing Lin Yan and the Heavenly Horned Leopard, who were locked in combat nearby, away. The man looked at the center of their battle, his heart filled with fear:

"Is this something that two people in the early stages of Foundation Establishment could pull off?"

If it were him, he would probably have been smashed to pieces long ago.

Indeed, the damage caused by both individuals resulted in injuries to Zhang Lingyu and Zhang Lingyu of varying degrees, but they were able to withstand the damage thanks to their magical artifacts and talismans.

"A good opportunity."

Taking advantage of Yun Jinghao's distraction, he immediately commanded the puppet and flying sword to launch a surprise attack, while also using the Soul-Destroying Thorn to slow down the opponent's reaction for a moment.

Although cultivators who practice the Blood Path generally have good attainments in their souls, they still have to give it a try.

"Hiss, it's a spell that attacks the soul! Oh no!"

Yun Jinghao, who was in the distance, was about to deal with the attacking puppets and flying swords. After taking this blow, his face turned pale and he even had to stop casting a spell. While retreating, he took out a pill from his storage bag and swallowed it.

"Hmm, could it be that the soul is disturbed?"

Zhang Lingyu was quite surprised; he himself hadn't expected that this attack would cause such great damage.

But now the opportunity was rare, so in addition to continuing to control the puppet, he also used the power of the shuttle to quickly close in and inflict serious injury.

......
