Chapter 142 Yun Jinghao
Yunjing Mountain.
After three hours of flying, Zhang Lingyu and Zhang Yuanhua finally arrived at the Yun family's headquarters.
Unlike the Ming family, the protective array of this spiritual mountain was operating at full capacity, and many cultivators could be seen patrolling back and forth within the array, constantly monitoring every move at the foot of the mountain.
After Zhang Lingyu and his companion landed at the foot of the mountain, Lin Yan immediately stepped forward to greet them and bowed, saying:
"Greetings, Your Excellencies. You've finally arrived."
"Guest Lin, how is he now?" The young man saw that he was pale and seemed to have suffered some injuries, so he became a little wary.
"Don't worry, sir, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
Lin Yan replied:
"These past few days, Yun Ruifeng personally led a team down to launch a surprise attack, attempting to create an opening so that his disciples could rush out to provide reinforcements. Fortunately, two seniors were here, which prevented them from succeeding."
"However, because they used some powerful magical artifacts and talismans, some of our people died. Fortunately, they were all from vassal families, so it's not a big deal."
"Of course, the Ming family didn't fare well either; they also lost more than a dozen cultivators."
As a guest of the Zhang family, he naturally had to consider the Zhang family's feelings. How could he dare to send a Zhang family cultivator forward at this time?
At this time, it was naturally the alchemy families below who took the lead. Of course, these were not the trusted members of the Huang and Du families, but those who had just surrendered and wanted to make great contributions.
"That's good. We can give them some compensation later."
Zhang Lingyu nodded, not paying much attention, and turned to look at Wei Ming and Tian Yan. Noticing they also had some injuries, she immediately realized something was wrong and asked with concern:
"Seniors, you two fought Yun Ruifeng and were also injured by him?"
"yes."
The two exchanged a glance and smiled wryly:
"That Yun Ruifeng is really formidable. He single-handedly overpowered both of us. Even with Fellow Daoist Lin Yan's assistance, he couldn't suppress him at all."
After they finished explaining their grievances, Zhang Lingyu understood the whole story.
It turned out that the Ming family actually kept a third-tier demon beast, and it was a Heavenly Horned Leopard with a remarkable bloodline. This beast was extremely fast and kept Lin Yan occupied. Even if Tian Yan was distracted to save him, he couldn't do anything about it.
If it weren't for the use of a high-grade third-tier talisman given by the Zhang family at the end, they probably would have already opened a breach in their defenses.
"A leopard?"
Zhang Lingyu was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected the Yun family to only use this demonic beast when they were about to be wiped out. However, given their nature, they probably wouldn't have kept it hidden for so long.
It's clear that this beast must have only recently broken through to the next level.
Although it's a variable, it's within an acceptable range, so I replied:
"It's alright. With the Grand Elder and the two seniors here, Yunrui Peak won't be able to cause much trouble."
"When the time comes, Lin Keqing and I will take care of it together."
"Yes, with Fellow Daoist Zhang here, we are naturally assured of victory."
Tian Yan and his companion were not worried. The peak Foundation Establishment stage was no joke. They could easily take on several mid-Foundation Establishment stages by themselves, let alone three against one.
"In that case, when shall we make our move?"
Faced with their questions, Zhang Yuanhua thought for a moment and said:
"The three fellow Daoists have sustained some injuries. I think they should recuperate for five days before launching a full-scale attack, how about that?"
A fully operational mountain-protecting formation is no joke; it requires thorough preparation.
"Alright, I'll do as you say, fellow Daoist."
The group naturally had no objections. The Ming family had already been destroyed, so it didn't matter whether the Yun family was destroyed sooner or later.
......
On the Yun family's side, after seeing the two streaks of light descend below, the entire Yun family became highly tense, realizing that two more Foundation Establishment cultivators had arrived, and hurriedly reported to Yun Ruifeng.
"Zhang Yuanhua and the others arrived so quickly?"
Yun Ruifeng's face was gloomy. He had failed to break through the encirclement yesterday and had missed the best opportunity. There were now five Foundation Establishment cultivators outside, one of whom was at the peak of Foundation Establishment. He could almost see the scene of his family's destruction.
He felt a pang of resentment, yet was powerless to change anything. He looked at a young man beside him and said in a deep voice:
"My son, I never imagined that you would perish along with the family so soon after your breakthrough. I am so sorry."
Although the Yun family lost a Foundation Establishment cultivator in this beast tide, they obtained another Foundation Establishment Pill by using the contribution points earned from killing the monsters.
However, the timing of his breakthrough was unfortunate. Yun Jinghao had only emerged from seclusion yesterday. If he had emerged two days earlier, he would have certainly done his best to send him out. Now, there was no chance.
However, they could secretly escape while the enemy was attacking the mountain. As long as they could escape, the Yun family might have a chance to rise again.
Yun Ruifeng was about to speak when he heard his son say:
"Father, although the enemy is strong and we are weak, there is still a chance for a turnaround."
Yun Jinghao appeared completely unfazed. A slight smile played on his lips as he pulled a jade slip from his storage bag and continued:
"Father, the method to defeat the enemy is on here. Please take a look."
"Oh?"
Yun Ruifeng's face lit up with joy. His son had traveled abroad in his early years and accidentally entered the cave of an ancient cultivator, where he obtained some inheritance, which is why he quickly reached the peak of Qi Refining.
"Father, the method to defeat the enemy is on here. Please take a look."
"Oh?"
Yun Ruifeng's face lit up with joy. His son had traveled abroad in his early years and accidentally entered the cave of an ancient cultivator, where he obtained some inheritance, which is why he quickly reached the peak of Qi Refining.
Since he had returned to his clan a few months ago, he hadn't had time to ask, only getting a few words. However, he still trusted the other party quite a bit, since it was this son who had suggested that Li Heihu rob the Zhang family.
Although they failed, the family suffered no losses.
With his family's destruction before him, Yun Ruifeng had no more guarded thoughts and hurriedly examined the jade slip. However, his expression changed drastically in an instant, and he stammered:
"My son...this is...this is..."
"Father, I know your concerns, but we have no way out."
Yun Jinghao, abandoning his previous docile demeanor, said sternly:
"This is our only chance, and the Yun family's only chance. Only if we live can the Yun family continue its legacy!"
"Zhang Yuanhua, Zhang Lingyu, and the other four Foundation Establishment cultivators are at the foot of the mountain. They could attack Yunjing Mountain at any moment. If we hesitate any longer, we will truly face death and the extermination of our clan!"
"But...but this is a demonic cultivation technique!"
The boy was unfazed by his father's fear and scoffed:
"Father, you're too old-fashioned. You can't let go of your morals. What's this talk of immortal or demonic paths? As long as it makes you stronger, allows you to survive, and helps you become an immortal, then it's a good cultivation method!"
"At this very moment, the contents of this jade slip are the only divine method to save our family!"
These words struck Yun Ruifeng like a bolt from the blue, turning his face pale. Clutching the jade slip, he staggered backward, finally collapsing to his seat. After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to have made a decision and said:
"Hao'er, since that's the case, let's do as you say. We need to be quick. The three people the Zhang family sent were injured by me and my spirit pet, so they probably won't dare to attack the mountain rashly. We still have a chance."
"Father, it's good that you've thought it through. Please take this pill. It will definitely be of great help to you in the battle a few days from now."
The boy nodded in satisfaction, then handed him a jade bottle and said:
"Father, I'll go and prepare."
"it is good."
As Yun Jinghao left, the entire hall fell silent. Yun Ruifeng, with a fierce expression, took out the pill from the jade bottle in his hand and swallowed it without hesitation.
The next moment, his body was radiating boundless blood-red light, so powerful that it almost blew the roof off.
Fortunately, the array in the main hall activated in time, suppressing the bloody light within.
"It's done."
Outside the hall, Yun Jinghao nodded in satisfaction after hearing the commotion inside, and then left with peace of mind.
