Clan Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily

Looking around, Zhang Lingyu could clearly see four distinct camps surrounding the poisonous pool.

The Ming family, the Yun family, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the market, the Zhang family, and the rest were just some rogue cultivators who wanted to take advantage of the chaos.

With all four factions gathered, the cultivators under their command immediately felt a sense of urgency, ready to engage in battle at any moment.

"So it's Chief Zhang. It's been a long time."

The first to speak were two Foundation Establishment cultivators, Yue Zhenhai and Wang Xuan, both at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Don't underestimate them just because they are all independent cultivators; they may all be top-notch experts who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Zhang has met Fellow Daoist Yue and Fellow Daoist Wang."

Zhang Xingyao returned the salute with clasped hands, then looked in the direction of the Yun and Ming families and sneered:

"After the battle at the mine, you two left without saying goodbye. I, Zhang, have been searching for you for a long time. I never expected you to come here without a word."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, don't be impatient, we'll see the real skill in a moment."

The Ming family patriarch, Ming Yichuan, responded with a forced smile, and provocatively said:

"With so many cultivators from both families, including Fellow Daoist Yun Ruifeng, here this time, I'm afraid your Zhang family will all perish here."

After saying that, he and the man beside him took a step forward together, causing all the cultivators present to tremble slightly.

"You are welcome to give it a try!"

Zhang Xingyao snorted coldly, and the aura he exuded was no weaker than the two of them. On the contrary, it could even suppress them.

Seeing that things were starting to get out of control, Yue Zhenhai quickly stepped forward and waved his hand to dissuade him:

"Fellow Daoists, we have no intention of getting involved in your struggle, but the third-tier demonic beast in this poisonous pool has not yet been dealt with."

"Taking action now would only benefit them. Let us deal with them first, and then you can settle your scores later."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three clan leaders stopped, but their gazes never left each other. Yun Ruifeng looked at the two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the distance and said with a forced smile:

"Fellow Daoist Yue, Fellow Daoist Wang, in the end, this Forest of Dry Bones is within our Yingchuan County. How we contend for it is a matter for the three of us."

"You mere rogue cultivators dare to get involved in this mess?"

"Hehe, what you say is true, but Yingchuan County is not the private property of your three families. The treasures of the world belong to those with virtue. Why can't we participate?"

Wang Xuan was not afraid of his threat. Instead, he stroked his beard and laughed, "Aren't you afraid that the two of us and Fellow Daoist Zhang will join forces to deal with you first?"

"We have already established our foundation, and foundation-establishing spiritual items are dispensable to us. I believe Fellow Daoist Zhang is not unwilling to spend some money to buy spiritual items from us."

"Of course, your lives will come along with it."

"you!"

Yun Ruifeng's veins bulged as he listened, but Ming Yichuan beside him reached out to stop him and transmitted his voice, "Deal with the third-tier demon beast first."

After their verbal sparring, everyone present turned their gaze to the poisonous orchid in the center of the poisonous pool.

This magical flower has a long stem and a cold, bluish-purple luster. Its five petals are as thin as cicada wings, with slightly curled edges, resembling a ghostly face. At the center of the flower grows a cluster of dark red stamens, like blood threads, exuding a strange and eerie beauty.

"As expected, it is a poisonous orchid from a secluded spring."

Zhang Xingyao nodded secretly, then transmitted his voice to Zhang Lingyu and the others: "Proceed according to plan in a moment."

"clear."

Everyone was on edge, their sleeves already filled with spells, waiting for their clan leader's command.

"Let's do it!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Xingyao gave an order. Apart from Zhang Lingyu and the four late-stage Qi Refining clansmen who stayed behind to fight the two cultivators, the rest of them flew straight to the center of the poisonous pool to escape.

Almost simultaneously, the other four Foundation Establishment and late-stage Qi Refining cultivators also made their moves.

"Quack quack quack!"

Upon noticing that the human cultivators had begun to act, a large number of bubbles immediately rose from the poisonous pool. The third-tier demonic beast, the Azure-Eyed Toad, was the first to leap out of the pool, its massive abdomen contracting and expanding, and its pale green venom rained down on the group.

Following closely behind were more than twenty second-tier demonic beasts that emerged from the water.

"Everyone be careful, defend yourselves!"

In order to obtain the Poisonous Spring Orchid, all the cultivators present made full preparations, throwing out talismans that transformed into various colored spiritual shields to protect themselves.

Zhang Xingyao took the lead, his body covered in a purplish-red membrane, completely unaffected by the poisonous rain. He then summoned a long black stick and struck the green-eyed toad hard on the belly.

"Quack quack."

The green-eyed toad was covered with a thick layer of oil, and the blow only made it stagger back a few steps without causing any real damage.

On the contrary, this attack completely enraged it, causing it to spew out large amounts of venom.

The five Foundation Establishment cultivators were unharmed, but the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators who fought the second-tier demonic beasts fared much worse. Although some of them were protected by the spiritual shield, they were still corroded and had several small holes in them.

Those cultivators who couldn't dodge in time had horrific bloody holes corroded into their arms or cheeks, emitting agonizing screams.

This action frightened the rogue cultivators who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seize the spiritual items, causing them to retreat repeatedly.

"brute!"

The cultivators from the Yun and Ming families arrived first and were at the forefront, but they also suffered the most injuries. The two family patriarchs were furious and unleashed various spells and magical artifacts. Zhang Xingyao and his two companions also seized the opportunity to attack together.

In an instant, the sky turned into five colors, all focused on the green-eyed toad.

As a third-tier demonic beast, the green-eyed toad already possessed considerable intelligence. Seeing that its life was in danger, it quickly burrowed into the poisonous pool and disappeared.

Just kidding, no matter how powerful it is, it's only at the third tier. Can it defeat five Foundation Establishment cultivators working together?

As the green-eyed toad escaped, no one went down to chase after it; instead, everyone's eyes were fixed on the poisonous spring orchid in the center of the pool.

"Zhang Xingyao, die!"

Yun Ruifeng and Ming Yichuan did not immediately attack Duquan Youlan; instead, they wanted to kill Zhang Xingyao here to prevent future troubles.

"I knew what you were thinking all along. Fellow Daoists, let's attack together!"

"good!"

As soon as Zhang Xingyao finished speaking, Yue Zhenhai and Wang Xuan turned around and launched a fierce attack on the two family patriarchs!

"You guys actually teamed up!"

Yun Ruifeng was filled with resentment. He hadn't expected this situation to actually occur, but he didn't have time to think about it. He could only use his magic to fight alongside Ming Yichuan.

Just like what those two Foundation Establishment cultivators said, Foundation Establishment spiritual items are not something they absolutely need. As long as someone offers a high price, they will immediately turn around and help!

Yue Zhenhai and Wang Xuan have lived in Tianyuan Fangshi for many years and are already part of the Fangshi community.

Tianyuan Market is one of Yuguang Pavilion's properties, and the Zhang family is their vassal family.

Whether from the perspective of interests or reason, they should stand with the Zhang family to fight the enemy together.

As for how they joined forces, they had just secretly communicated and discussed the reward for this operation.

"Thank you both for your help!"

Seeing that they had made their move as promised, Zhang Xingyao was immediately invigorated, and his spells became even more ruthless. This time, he was determined to seriously injure or kill the two of them!
