Clan Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily

Chapter 217 A Sudden Turn of Events, An Unexpected Visitor

With Mo Wuyai's subtle reminder, everyone either made hand seals or summoned magical artifacts and talismans. Wang Menghan and the others didn't feel anything was wrong, as the Bloodhorn Leopard, even from a distance, could not escape the detection of divine sense.

"Everyone, that Bloodhorn Leopard at the peak of the first tier has advanced."

Wang Menghan probed slightly, and the location and aura of the several bloodhorn leopards became clear. Although the number matched, there was a slight change.

But this change doesn't change anything.

Let alone her, Zhang Yuanyao alone could take on two opponents, not to mention Mo Wuyai by her side.

Some of the cultivators from the Tian family couldn't help but tremble.

"What a bunch of useless trash!"

The Tian family patriarch's anger flared up instantly. With three late-stage Qi Refining experts here, what was there to fear?

The battle will probably be over before they even make a move.

"call out!"

The battle began quickly. Although the Bloodhorn Leopard was nowhere to be seen, several whooshing sounds echoed from all around the forest. Wang Menghan waved her hand, and a jade-green spirit umbrella flew out of her storage bag, protecting everyone in front of her.

A Thousand Umbrellas!

This item was obtained from Huan Xue'er, a cultivator from the Thousand Illusions Demon Palace. It was extremely useful and had performed many miraculous feats in Zhang Lingyu's hands. However, as his cultivation level increased, he no longer needed it and handed it over to her.

As the magical artifact spun rapidly, the incoming objects were immediately deflected and scattered on the ground. Upon closer inspection, everyone realized they were densely packed blood needles.

"It's the fur of the Bloodhorn Leopard that's become so sharp because it's been infused with magic. Everyone be careful."

Zhang Yuanyao gave a slight reminder, and a small wisp of Burning Yuan Heart Flame emerged from her fingertip, shooting towards the leading Bloodhorn Leopard. Accompanied by a huge roar, a series of flames rose in the distance.

"pity..."

Her expression dimmed slightly. The group of Bloodhorn Leopards knew there were many of them and dared not approach easily. Although the speed of the Burning Yuan Heart Flame was fast, it gave the opponent plenty of time to dodge, making it easy to avoid them.

"We can only shoot from closer up..."

Zhang Yuanyao remained expressionless and instructed, "Mo Wuyai, you and I will each deal with a second-tier Bloodhorn Leopard. Meng Han can adapt to the situation."

"As for Patriarch Tian, ​​you can lead the remaining clansmen to deal with the remaining few. The only thing to watch out for is those blood needles."

Those blood needles were impossible for them to hide from, but it was a different story for others. Due to their density and speed, they were easily attacked in vital areas.

"Did you all hear what the master said? Now put on all the armor talismans!"

The head of the Tian family gave a cold shout, and the rest of the clansmen immediately followed his orders.

"Walk!"

Seeing that everyone was ready, Zhang Yuanyao let out a low shout and charged towards the strongest Bloodhorn Leopard. The other cultivators also scattered and searched for their own targets.

The Bloodhorn Leopard pack was also very fast. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately scattered and retreated. They were known for their speed, and even ordinary second-tier peak demonic beasts might not be able to catch up with them.

Not to mention those insignificant humans?

Just as the leader had retreated some distance, he suddenly turned around and saw a beautiful figure wielding a sword chasing after him, even faster than him.

What terrified it even more was that there were a few wisps of flame floating around it.

The bloodhorn leopard's pupils contracted slightly as it recognized the flames that had attacked it earlier. The damage caused by the flames was extraordinary; had it not reacted quickly, it would have perished in the inferno long ago.

Driven by the will to survive, it let out a long howl, and all the fur on its body suddenly stood on end, shooting a barrage of blood needles at Zhang Yuanyao.

The blood needle moved swiftly, but the woman showed no sign of panic. She parted her lips slightly, and flames filled the sky, turning the needle to ashes. Then, the flames transformed into a nimble fire serpent, charging straight at the Bloodhorn Leopard.

She missed before because the distance wasn't enough. If she still misses at this distance, all the years her family has spent training her will have been in vain.

With a mournful howl, the lead bloodhorn leopard was pierced through, leaving a bloody hole, and fell to the ground lifeless.

Zhang Yuanyao didn't even glance at him, and immediately turned her gaze elsewhere. Mo Wuyai's speed was no slower than hers. This genius originally cultivated his own family's third-grade foundation-building technique.

For some reason, two years ago Zhang Lingyu passed on the Yun family's fourth-grade Golden Core cultivation technique to him.

As a result, it caused dissatisfaction among some clansmen. If Mo Wuyai were a cultivator who married into the family, it would be fine, but now... he has no such intention.

However, because he was someone valued by his family patriarch, the matter was dropped afterward.

As for Wang Menghan, as Zhang Lingyu's closed-door disciple, her storage bag was filled with high-level magic artifacts, enough to kill someone if smashed.

Not to mention the blue phoenix beside him.

The battle ended quickly; in less than a quarter of an hour, all the Bloodhorn Leopards were killed. Just as she sheathed her sword and prepared to retreat, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark figure darting out of the distant jungle.

"This is..."

Even she was stunned for a moment, as she couldn't detect anything within the range of her divine sense.

The shadowy figure was fast and its target was clear.

Wang Menghan.

"Meng Han, watch out!"

Zhang Yuanyao wanted to chase after them, but the distance was too far to offer any help, so she could only shout loudly to warn them.

Mo Wuyai, who was not far from her, also noticed the dark figure, but since he did not cultivate the divine soul technique, his reaction was much slower. When he finally reacted, he rushed forward without hesitation.

Wang Menghan was cleaning up the battlefield when she heard the call and looked up. She saw that the approaching black shadow was moving too fast to make out what it was.

But she's not one to be trifled with either.

The Thousand-Armor Umbrella protecting her burst forth with unprecedented spiritual light, and at the same time, with a wave of her jade hand, a third-grade low-level talisman transformed into a spiritual shield to protect her.

As Zhang Lingyu's disciple, although he usually trains diligently, he dares not slack off in actual combat and often spars with Zhang Yuanyao and others.

"boom!"

After everything was completed, the dark figure crashed heavily into the outermost Thousand Luo Umbrella. This magical artifact was of excellent quality, but it was still knocked so hard that its spiritual light dissipated and it emitted a series of mournful howls.

It was smashed in less than a breath and bounced into the bushes not far away.

Although the Thousand Luo Umbrella was broken, the power of the third-grade low-level talisman was still quite sufficient. However, the black shadow was well-prepared and had great force, directly knocking Wang Menghan away.

Fortunately, the protective barrier was not shattered upon landing; I was just a little dizzy.

Taking advantage of this brief respite, Zhang Yuanyao, Mo Wuyai, and the head of the Tian family finally arrived. Upon seeing the uninjured girl, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's alright...it's alright."

When he saw the dark figure attack Wang Menghan, the head of the Tian family felt dizzy and almost fainted.

The other party is no small fry. They were originally helping our family, but who would have thought we'd run into this situation? If anything had happened to them, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for Zhang Lingyu to wipe out the Tian family a hundred times over.

After feeling a little relieved, he finally saw the dark figure that had stopped.

It was a demonic snake nearly ten zhang long, covered in scales, with a flat, shovel-like head and a dark red fleshy growth on its top.

The tumor is covered with tiny holes, and when it breathes, it sprays out a pale green poisonous mist. Wherever the mist lands, everything around it will instantly wither and turn black.

More importantly, this demon exuded almost no sense of threat. If I hadn't been standing here observing it with my naked eyes, it would have been difficult to detect it with my divine sense from the shadows.

"This is..."

His knowledge was limited, and he could only awkwardly glance at Mo Wuyai and the other person beside him.

"It's a black-scaled python."

"Not bad, it's a Tier 3 one. This is going to be difficult."

"what?"

"That's right... What other kind of demonic beast could possibly withstand a low-grade third-tier talisman?"

Upon hearing this, the head of the Tian family turned ashen-faced, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground. A third-tier demonic beast was comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, while they were only at the late stage of Qi Refining.

"It's over...it's all over."

His eyes were glazed over, and he kept muttering to himself that he might as well die, but this time he might really have to take Zhang Yuanyao and the others with him.

Mo Wuya's heart sank. The Ink Scale Python was considered one of the best among ordinary demonic beasts, excelling in physical strength, speed, and attack methods.

Even in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, one could die on the spot if one is not careful.

That's not the main issue. The fleshy tumor on its head not only corrodes everything around it, but also has an anesthetic effect. If a cultivator inhales it while fighting, they will gradually lose consciousness and eventually become food on their plate.

However, he wasn't too worried, as Zhang Yuanyao and Zhang Yuanyao were both key figures being groomed by their families, and their storage bags probably contained quite a few talismans.

He was even given several of them, just in case.

The question now is why this demon appeared in this place.

After the Zhang family unified Yingchuan County, they purged all the monsters scattered throughout the county. Of course, they did not kill them all, but instead kept them all at Redwood Ridge for use as trial disciples.

Especially for those at the second level and above, the Foundation Establishment stage is personally involved.

In all these years, there has never been any incident of a third-tier demon beast injuring people in the county. Today's Inkscale Python is the first time I've ever seen one.

However, considering the characteristics of this demon, it is not impossible for it to evade divine detection.

"What we need to do now is stall until the Foundation Establishment cultivators arrive to rescue us."

Upon seeing the demonic beast clearly, the three of them immediately crushed the jade talisman to notify their family. At the full speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they could arrive in half an hour.

Mo Wuyai glanced at Zhang Yuanyao beside him and saw her nod at him. Although she didn't say it explicitly, he understood her intention.

So he grabbed the man on the ground and ran towards Wang Menghan without hesitation.

"hiss..."

The black-scaled python flicked its tongue, its cold, vertical pupils sweeping back and forth over the four people, seemingly choosing a target, before disappearing from the spot a moment later.

Mo Wuyai was already moving much slower with his men, so he wasn't surprised at all when he saw the huge black shadow coming towards him.

He brought the head of the Tian family along, intending to use him as bait.

Under no circumstances can we allow anything to happen to Zhang Yuanyao and Wang Menghan, otherwise all the hard work the Mo family has put in to get to where it is now will be for naught.

"Cloud Shield!"

The clouds surged in front of Mo Wuyai, forming a wall of clouds that blocked his way. At the same time, he pulled out a talisman with his left hand and tossed it forward gently.

Seeing that this smooth and flowing movement was exactly the same as Wang Menghan's earlier, the black-scaled python was immediately enraged and opened its mouth to spew a mouthful of venom.

The tumor on their heads also twitched rapidly, and in an instant, the entire forest was filled with a pale green poisonous mist. The four of them were fine, but the Tian family cultivator in the distance was in trouble.

Accompanied by screams of agony, almost all the cultivators sent arrived foaming at the mouth and unconscious, convulsing on the ground.

Hearing the howls of his clansmen, the head of the Tian family turned even paler. If it weren't for his strong willpower, he probably would have fainted as well.

Mo Wuyai glanced at it and explained, "Although this poison is potent, its effects are mainly in anesthetics. The clansmen, including the patriarch, won't die anytime soon."

"Let's deal with the immediate problem first."

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll do whatever you say..." The head of the Tian family thanked him repeatedly, and at the same time, he released his magic power without hesitation to maintain the spiritual barrier in front of him.

The venom of the black-scaled python, combined with its constant physical assault, had caused the protective barrier to emit a teeth-grinding "creaking" sound, threatening to shatter at any moment.

Mo Wuyai, his face dark, had no choice but to take out another portion to make ends meet.

Although he had a few third-tier talismans, most of them were for defense and escape, and none of them were offensive.

It wasn't that he wanted to take it, but that the Zhang family was unwilling to give it to him.

There were also concerns. If the talisman was given, Mo Wuyai might have other ideas and use it to deal with the Zhang family's genius cultivators.

As one of the top geniuses in Yingchuan County, even Zhang Yuanyao was caught off guard and seriously injured.

Therefore, in order to protect the safety of their own cultivators, bestowing upon them third-tier talismans for protection is already the greatest reward.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanyao had also arrived at Wang Menghan's side. After confirming that she was not injured, she felt relieved. Then, the two women each took out talismans and attacked the Ink Scale Python.

Judging from their quality, none of them are below level three.

At the same time, Wang Menghan gently patted the spirit insect pouch at her waist, and swarms of spirit-devouring bees poured out, charging towards her under the leadership of the queen bee.

After Zhang Lingyu went into seclusion, she took care of the spirit insect.

During this period, the Soul-Devouring Bees devoured a great many rare and precious materials, not only in greater numbers than before, but the Queen Bee's strength also increased significantly.

She was also afraid that something unexpected might happen on this trip, so she brought it with her in advance.

The swarm of bees, which blotted out the sky, completely enveloped the forest, preventing any sunlight from penetrating. The black-scaled python decisively stopped its attack and fled into the distance!

There was no other reason than that the monster had sensed a deadly danger.

It has always been known for its speed, and with the poisonous fog of the tumor spreading all around, a dense black rain suddenly began to fall from the sky.

The Soul-Eating Bees were oblivious to the death of their companions, clinging to the python and tearing at it with all their might. Unfortunately, even the queen bee was unable to break through its defenses for a while.

Zhang Yuanyao and the others wanted to use talismans to pierce through it, but the demon was too slippery and dodged several times in a row.

Just as it was about to break through the swarm and leave, an extremely dazzling golden light pierced through the swarm from the outside and struck the black-scaled python with perfect accuracy.

"It's so bright!"

The golden light was so bright that everyone couldn't open their eyes. Fortunately, after a moment, darkness returned. Zhang Yuanyao and the others tentatively opened their eyes and found that the black-scaled python had already fallen into a pool of blood.

Upon closer inspection, the fatal wound was on the head, where the golden light had pierced through, leaving a bloody hole the size of a fist.

Not far away, a small needle was stuck in the ground.

"Is that the Grand Elder and the others?"

The four were slightly taken aback. How much time had passed? Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators could not possibly reach this place from Qingya Mountain unless they were in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Even in the later stages of Foundation Establishment, this speed shouldn't be possible.

Unless... someone has been watching over them from the beginning.

Just as everyone was wondering, the surrounding swarm of bees began to disperse to the side without any command, revealing the scenery in the forest.

The scenery in front of me remained unchanged, just as it had been before.

There's just one more person.

a woman.

With a wave of her hand, the woman sent the golden needle magic weapon flying back into her palm. But unexpectedly, another magic weapon flew into her hand as well.

It was the Thousand-Arch Umbrella that had been knocked away earlier.

The woman placed it in her palm and carefully wiped away the dirt, looking at the ritual object as if she were looking at an old friend.

She looked at him for a while, her eyes seemingly filled with tears, then parted her teeth and said softly, "It's been a long time, old friend."
