Ordinary People: Starting with the Chen Clan

The demonic ape, which was over ten feet tall, was more than a head taller than the puppet. It should have been able to easily swing back against the fist and palm that were only a foot or so in size.

But in reality, just like the demonic ape before it, the giant ape's body, for some reason, seemed not to have reacted, and was easily engulfed by another palm strike.

Then the puppet's arms, like iron clamps, tightly gripped the demon ape, turning its ten-foot-tall body into an iron mountain.

With each step, he moved with an effortless lightness, his footsteps silent, and in just a few steps he was already beside the nearest demon ape.

He raised his arms high and slammed them down at the demonic ape.

The demon ape instinctively dodged to the side, but suddenly felt a tightness in its ankle, and its body fell uncontrollably to the ground.

boom!

With a loud bang, a figure was sent flying.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the puppet had flown more than ten feet away for some unknown reason and lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Such a startling commotion immediately drew the attention of the uncle and nephew, who were gathering all their strength to besiege one of the demonic apes.

Ignoring the damage to the puppet, he turned his gaze to the opposite direction where the puppet had fallen, and at the same time, he unconsciously withdrew his magical power, transferring an additional ten percent of it into his close-fitting armor.

With a slight pause, the attacks of the magical artifacts used by the envoy slowed down.

The demonic ape pounded its fists wildly, its eyes fixed on Chen Xuanhong's heavy sword, each punch landing squarely on the blade.

As a result, not only were his entire body pierced by the other three spirit swords, leaving deep wounds that were half a foot deep, but he was also tightly bound by two golden silk talismans.

But in return, his body was sent flying through the air. Although he couldn't move, fortunately, when he landed, he was already five or six zhang away.

Meanwhile, the two surviving demonic apes, as if by telepathy, approached this place a step earlier, and the three of them were only about ten feet apart.

The two frowned slightly. Nowadays, let alone exterminating demons, it was already difficult enough to suppress them.

Bang!

Roar... Roar!

A muffled thud, mixed with a roar, came from behind the two men. They turned around and saw a black stone tablet standing at the entrance of the main hall.

The roar came from beneath the stone tablet.

"So noisy!"

A slightly muscular hand gently patted the stone tablet, and the dark golden figure that had been struggling to stand up was now completely stuck to the ground, unable to move an inch.

"Monkey, you're quite an anomaly, possessing a mental attribute talent. Want to join me? I'll take you out of this cage."

You wouldn't want yourself and your people to be trapped in this secret realm for generations to come, would you?

The response was a low, angry roar, but as the black light on the Prison Suppression Stele intensified, it lost even that little bit of strength.

"Looks like he still has energy!"

With a crackling sound, the long, earthen-yellow rope instantly wrapped around its entire body, turning the giant ape into a giant cocoon.

The three looked at the new appearance formed by the fusion of the two familiar figures, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Greetings, Patriarch! We have failed in our duties and have troubled you to personally intervene. We are truly ashamed!"

"We have failed the patriarch's expectations!"

Chen Houwu was nearby, so he was the first to kneel on one knee. The other two were originally supposed to face the remaining demonic apes.

However, several sword shadows flew out from the sword box on Chen Xuanhong's back and instantly severed the limbs and meridians of the three demonic apes.

Seeing that the monster he had worked so hard to defeat was like a straw dog in front of the patriarch.

The pride in his heart, like that of the demon monkey, was suppressed by the giant monument, which was named Humility!

"The three of you set up the great formation I gave you earlier. With this formation in place, basically no one will be able to break through it."

No one is allowed to approach the teleportation array without my permission!

"yes!"

Without wasting words, the three picked up the array flags and began to set up a magic array around them, which was Chen Xuanzhou's strongest Reversed Five Elements Array.

After seeing that the three had finished setting up and tried to activate it without any problems, Chen Xuanzhou stepped into the teleportation array.

A sudden thought struck him, and looking at the familiar scenery around him, it felt just like when he had just left last time.

Chen Xuanzhou acted decisively and summoned the incense burner.

Without his intervention, the incense burner lid opened automatically, and before the Earth Mother Pearl inside could be revealed, the Spirit Eye Tree returned to its original spot like a bird returning to its forest.

Immediately following, the Earth Mother Pearl transformed into a beam of mysterious yellow light and flew into the air.

As the aura dissipated, the eight compasses on it, resembling small mountains, began to slowly expand and extend.

In just a few breaths, a phantom mountain several meters in size appeared out of thin air.

At this moment, pieces of Spirit Eye Jade appeared on the ground on their own, without anyone controlling them, and were positioned precisely in the center of each direction of the Dragon-Seeking Compass.

The Earth Mother Bead, which was suspended in mid-air, fell directly down the moment it appeared on the compass, and the eight floating mountains were perfectly embedded in the gap in the middle of the compass.

A clicking sound rang out, and Chen Xuanzhou couldn't tell if it was real or an illusion. He felt the incense burner suddenly become heavier.

When it comes to managing it, there is a sense of sluggishness.

Since the matter concerned the Golden Finger, Chen Xuanzhou dared not be careless. He immediately sat down cross-legged and instructed this clone to properly circulate its magical power to carefully control the incense burner.

A layer of bright yellow earth-attribute spiritual energy connected with the incense burner. Compared to usual, the incense burner also vibrated slightly, giving a response.

However, this time, moving the incense burner consumed slightly more mana than before, though not much, and could be completely ignored without careful sensing.

Afterwards, he tried controlling the incense burner for a long time and found that apart from the large amount of magic power consumed, there were no other abnormalities.

He could only put this aside for now and study it slowly when he had time later.

Now, more importantly, this ancestral land has been re-established, and Chen Xuanzhou's understanding of this place can be described as meticulous.

At least this cave no longer held any secrets for him. He simply pointed at a bright pearl above his head, and the pearl, through his manipulation technique, slowly flew to his front.

As before, without even touching it, the incense burner reappeared in front of him, and he simply put it into it.

As for what's inside, we can explore that later when the incense in the incense burner is burning more.

Then Chen Xuanzhou neither left nor collected any more medicinal herbs.

Instead, he took out a jade slip and began to record, not anything else, but the formation inside the cave.

Although he now has a very clear understanding of the array patterns in the entire underground cave thanks to the Earth Mother Pearl, he only knows what they are, but not why they are.

However, over the years, he has never had enough offerings, so even with a top-tier inheritance, he is still not considered proficient in the art of formations.

Fortunately, he had an old man and a young girl at home, two precious treasures to cherish. With such a clear array diagram, he believed that with the two of them's qualifications and talents, it wouldn't be difficult for them to decipher it.
