The Celestial Race of Destiny: Starting with Farming and Fish Raising

"Hahahahaha!"

"It's truly a blessing from heaven for my Eclipse Demon Sect. At a time when my sect is in such decline, they have sent me a dual-spiritual-root immortal seedling. I am overjoyed!"

"Originally, we only planned to ambush you, old dog Lü Heng, on your way out of Jin Su County, to weaken the core strength of your Moon Shadow Sect."

"I never expected such a pleasant surprise."

"There's no other way but to take more risks and choose to make our move in Jin Su County."

"However, I guess that, given the nature of the Zhou family of Jin Su Mountain, they probably wouldn't dare to help you and would choose to completely offend our Eclipse Demon Sect."

"How about it, wanna take a gamble, you old dog Lü Heng?"

As the sound drew closer, a masked man completely shrouded in a black robe emerged from the direction from which the Eclipse Demon Light emanated, hovering on a white bone flying sword.

The fact that this person could fly on a magical artifact clearly indicates that, like Lü Heng, he was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Lu Heng did not respond to the masked Foundation Establishment cultivator, but instead organized the Moon Shadow Sect disciples to protect Mo Yu in the middle, to prevent the newly acquired Golden Core seedling from dying here.

Any of the Moon Shadow Sect disciples present could die, but a Golden Core cultivator was not an option.

However, the masked man was not the only Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Eclipse Demon Sect involved in this attack.

When the Moon Shadow Sect's flying boat was attacked and the scene was out of control, more than twenty rogue cultivators from the Eclipse Demon Sect emerged from the crowd, following the voice of the masked man.

Most of them were demonic cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining, with a small number being cultivators at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

There are only one or two demonic cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining.

As soon as these people appeared, they immediately launched targeted attacks on the Zhou family cultivators who were patrolling and maintaining order.

The incident happened too suddenly, and the Zhou family cultivators, who were not well prepared, were all knocked down. The entire Jin Su County town, centered around the square, quickly fell into chaos.

"Well done! The disciples of the Demonic Sect are indeed efficient."

"Now that all the Zhou family's scum has been cleaned up, it's time for you old dog Lü Heng and the other scum from the Shadow Sect to deal with it."

"Disciples, heed my command! Follow me to form the battle formation and vanquish the enemy!"

"Eclipse Demon Soul Formation, activate!"

The masked Foundation Establishment cultivator, holding an array plate, shouted and rapidly formed hand seals. Eight jet-black array flags flew out from the sleeves of his black robe and were planted in eight directions around the flying boat, surrounding Lü Heng and the group of Moon Shadow Sect disciples in the middle, forming a combined attack.

With the tacit cooperation of all the Eclipse Demon Sect cultivators present, the Eclipse Demon Soul Array was quickly formed.

"Zheng—!"

A piercing shriek exploded, and blood-red veins instantly spread across the bluestone slabs of the square.

Centered on the flying boat, black energy surged within the entire range of the Eclipse Demon Soul Array, drawing out the fear of the surrounding people and the resentment of the Zhou family cultivators before their deaths, transforming them into thirteen solid, blood-red chains that strangled Lü Heng and the Moon Shadow Sect disciples like venomous pythons.

In an instant, the light in the entire Jin Su County dimmed, as if daylight had fallen into dusk.

"Hahaha, you little brats from the Eclipse Demon Sect, you're still too green to take me down." Lü Heng laughed loudly, quickly taking out a handful of second-tier talismans and throwing them out to block all the powerful attacks of the Eclipse Demon Soul Array, protecting Mo Yu and the group of Moon Shadow Sect disciples.

Then, full of confidence, he continued, "While you were setting up the formation, I used a secret method to inform the sect about the situation in Jin Su County."

"It shouldn't be long before our Moon Shadow Sect's reinforcements arrive."

"Hehehe, just wait to die, you little brats of the Eclipse Demon Sect."

"If it were any other mediocre Foundation Establishment cultivator, they really wouldn't have lasted long enough to withstand your powerful Eclipse Demon Soul Formation until reinforcements arrive."

"Unfortunately, you underestimate me, Lü Heng."

"I, Lü Heng, have accumulated over a hundred years of experience in the art of talismans. What do you have to fight me with?"

The masked Foundation Establishment cultivator didn't rush to argue with Lü Heng. He just smiled mysteriously and said, "It seems that you, old dog Lü Heng, still don't understand the true strength of our Eclipse Demon Sect."

After saying that, he held up the array plate with one hand and increased the speed of his hand seals with the other.

In the blink of an eye, the attack intensity of the Eclipse Demon Soul Array suddenly surged.

Suddenly, Lü Heng felt immense pressure and lost his previous calm and collected demeanor.

Amidst the chaotic crowd, Su Qingyan also encountered some trouble.

When the attack by the Eclipse Demon Sect first occurred, he took his eldest son, Su Yuanxian, and fled away from the center of the battle to save their lives.

However, the cultivators of the Eclipse Demon Sect do not uphold martial ethics and fully promote their traditional custom of indiscriminately killing innocent people. In order to enhance the power of the Eclipse Demon Soul Array, they constantly attack the mortals and rogue cultivators around them.

Su Qingyan also encountered trouble.

He was being targeted by a cultivator from the Eclipse Demon Sect, and it was someone he knew—the same passerby who had been stopped and berated by the old man stall owner before.

He seemed to think that Su Qingyan and the old man stall owner were in cahoots. He resented the old man stall owner but couldn't find him, so he took his anger out on Su Qingyan.

Fortunately, the surroundings were too chaotic, and the cultivator from the Eclipse Demon Sect couldn't keep targeting Su Qingyan, giving him a chance to escape with his eldest son, Su Yuanxian.

However, the demonic cultivator kept chasing after Su Qingyan and his son, which made him very uncomfortable.

Just then, Su Qingyan discovered a turning point.

The figures of the old man and his daughter, who ran a small stall, came into his view not far ahead.

Better to die for your fellow Daoist than for me.

Realizing this, Su Qingyan immediately quickened his pace, pulling his eldest son, Su Yuanxian, along to join them, and casually greeted them, "Fellow Daoist, we meet again. Do you have a suitable place to take refuge?"

Just as Su Qingyan had predicted, with his deliberate guidance, the cultivators from the Eclipse Demon Sect became excited as soon as they discovered the old man stall owner.

The crimson flying sword in his hand was activated to its strongest state and charged straight at him.

The target was no longer Su Qingyan, but the old man selling food next to him.

"No—" Before the old man stall owner could finish his reply, he immediately sensed an attack coming. Startled, he quickly pulled his daughter behind him, rapidly forming hand seals to gather a large amount of spiritual energy in front of him, creating an earthen-yellow light shield.

"Eclipse Sword Technique, Break the Shield!"

Seeing that the old man stall owner reacted in time, the cultivators of the Eclipse Demon Sect immediately changed their moves, and a streak of scarlet sword energy shot out from their crimson flying swords.

With a loud "bang," the sword energy collided with the earthen-yellow light shield, which instantly disintegrated. However, the crimson flying sword continued its rapid trajectory, shooting towards the old man's stall and aiming straight for his brow.

Judging from the aura emanating from this cultivator from the Eclipse Demon Sect, he already possesses the cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining. If this attack hits, the old man stall owner, who won't have time to react, will undoubtedly die.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Su Qingyan intervened and cast a rattan armor spell on the old man stall owner, barely managing to block the attack.

Then, he immediately followed up with a wooden arrow technique, forcing the pursuing Eclipse Demon Sect cultivators back several meters.

It wasn't that Su Qingyan suddenly had a change of heart and insisted on saving the old man stall owner.

Rather, Su Qingyan understood the principle of mutual dependence.

As long as the old man stall owner lives, the hatred of the Eclipse Demon Sect cultivators will remain with him, and they won't go all out against Su Qingyan.

If the old man stall owner had been killed so quickly, Su Qingyan wouldn't have had time to run far.

Facing a Qi Refining Level 4 enemy alone, even in such a chaotic situation, Su Qingyan wasn't particularly confident that he could lead his eldest son, Su Yuanxian, to safety.

Therefore, at this moment, the old man who runs the stall is in mortal danger and must be saved.

We can't ignore this.
