Chapter 239 Demonic Cultivators Attack the Mountain
Chapter 239 Demonic Cultivators Attack the Mountain
Following the author's favorite writing style, let's embark on an adventure in "Family Cultivation: My Intelligence Updated Daily" on Cola Novels.
Featherstone Mountain.
Since Zhang Lingyu issued the mission to guard the border, most of the cultivators from various races, led by Zhang Xinghao and Du Yan, have used this place as their base and have begun patrolling the border every day.
At first, the cultivators didn't take it seriously, thinking that the Zhang family was making a mountain out of a molehill. After all, who would want to set their sights on this godforsaken place?
Even within the Zhang family, discontent arose, but without exception, all of it was suppressed by Zhang Xinghao.
As a high-ranking member of the family, the increasing number of unfamiliar cultivators in Tianliu City in recent years already spoke volumes; it was just that the time for it to erupt had not yet come.
For the past five years, he has personally led a patrol around the border almost every day before returning.
Until six months ago, Zhang Lingyu's worries finally came true. First, the area near Tianshui County was attacked by demonic cultivators, and then it was his own place.
Fortunately, the demonic cultivators who came that time were only three mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators and twenty-odd Qi Refining cultivators. Even so, Zhang Xinghao, Lin Yan, and Zhang Xingfeng suffered serious injuries. If they hadn't sent a message to Zhang Xingyao in time when the battle started, they would have been seriously injured.
After this battle, the demonic cultivators became much less active, and the reason for that... was naturally thanks to Lin Qing and his wife.
......
"Sir, Senior Lin and Senior Chen have returned from their patrol."
The main hall of the Tian family had already been requisitioned by Zhang Xinghao. With the help of Lin Qing and his wife, he had been staying in the great formation to heal his injuries and had not ventured out rashly.
The person who entered the hall to deliver the message was a man dressed in black. Judging from his cultivation level, he had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. Zhang Xinghao looked at him and smiled, "Wuya, thank you for delivering the message. I will go out to greet you right away."
"Yes."
Mo Wuyai gave a perfunctory reply and followed. For the past five years, he had been serving under Zhang Xinghao. Due to his calm personality and decisive actions, he was highly regarded by Zhang.
In addition, the Zhang family had always valued him highly, and he made great strides forward, not far from reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.
Fortunately, he did not disappoint Zhang Xinghao and the others' expectations. He always rushed to the front when the demonic cultivators attacked, and no fewer than ten late-stage Qi Refining demonic cultivators died at his hands.
Looking at the man silently following behind him, Zhang Xinghao, who was walking in front, sighed inwardly. He appreciated the man just as he had appreciated Zhang Lingyu in the past.
The latter has already become the clan leader, and his strength is also top-notch.
Mo Wuyai's performance over the past few years has been remarkable. In every aspect, he is no less than the direct descendants of the family. Now, his cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he, Zhang Yuanyao, Zhang Yuanli, Wang Menghan and others are all popular candidates for the next batch of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Unfortunately, despite his appreciation, the matter of Foundation Establishment was not something he could or dared to decide.
There's no other reason than that Mo Wuyai wasn't a member of the Zhang family.
The family intended for him to marry into the family, but the other party only had eyes for Zhang Yuanyao, who in turn ignored him completely, and so the stalemate has continued until now.
Zhang Xinghao had tried to persuade her, saying that apart from Wang Menghan and Zhang Yuanyao, all the other women could be married into the Zhang family. It could be said that as long as one entered the Zhang family, he would definitely get a share of the next batch of Foundation Establishment Pills.
Unfortunately, Mo Wuyai was incredibly stubborn in this regard, and no amount of persuasion could change his mind, so in the end, the matter was left unresolved.
"He's a genius. He'll be of great use to the family after he reaches Foundation Establishment. What a pity..."
The man sighed inwardly, "The only one who can decide to give him a Foundation Establishment Pill or a spiritual item is Ling Yu. Only he can suppress the elders' opposition. I'll find an opportunity to talk to him after he comes out of seclusion."
"It wouldn't be good to delay for a few more years..."
While they were pondering, the two had already stepped out of the hall. They were greeted by Lin Qing and his wife. Zhang Xinghao immediately stepped forward, bowed, and thanked them, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, fellow Daoists."
"Fellow Daoist, what are you saying? It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path."
Lin Qing smiled and continued, "There weren't any powerful figures spying on us today, just a few petty thieves at the Qi Refining level, who have already been taken care of by Meng Han and Yuan Yao."
Thank you!
It must be said that with two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed here, their pressure has been greatly reduced. "Exorcising demons and protecting the righteous path" is just a polite phrase; their real purpose is to repay Zhang Lingyu's kindness.
Several Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family knew that Zhang Lingyu's reason for entering the Lingkui Sect ruins was at the invitation of these two. Now that the couple was helping the Zhang family, they would certainly do their best to assist them once they entered the ruins.
It can be described as a win-win situation.
However, he still thanked the two of them, saying that true friendship is revealed in times of trouble, and that he owed them a great debt of gratitude for coming to help in such a critical moment.
"You two fellow Daoists have returned from your patrol and must be quite tired. Please come into the hall and rest for a while."
"Thank you for your concern, fellow Daoist. We didn't exert much effort; it's nothing. But there's something I'd like to ask..."
Lin Qing glanced at Wang Menghan, then looked at Zhang Xinghao, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lingyu has emerged from seclusion?"
"If I emerge from seclusion, Lingyu will surely send me a message."
"If I emerge from seclusion, Lingyu will surely send me a message."
This question had been asked once before they arrived, and Zhang Xinghao had given the same answer. In fact, he knew why the other party was in such a hurry.
The ruins of the Spirit Puppet Sect have been revealed and will open in a few days. Almost all Foundation Establishment cultivators who want to enter are heading there, but Zhang Lingyu has not yet shown any signs of emerging from seclusion, which is making everyone anxious.
"Please rest assured, seniors. Before my master went into seclusion, he instructed me that if I did not emerge from seclusion three days before the ruins were to open, I should immediately send him a message, and he would emerge on his own at that time."
Wang Menghan, who was standing to the side, considered for a moment before replying, "Master's cultivation level broke through to the late Foundation Establishment stage two years ago. He has been refining his techniques for the past two years, so please don't worry."
"That puts my mind at ease."
The young girl was Zhang Lingyu's disciple, and her words carried weight no less than those of a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Zhang family. Hearing this, the couple felt much more at ease.
After saying that, the group was about to enter the main hall to rest when a loud noise suddenly came from behind them, and the jade talisman on Zhang Xinghao's waist shattered instantly.
"Someone is attacking the great formation!"
In order to deal with the unexpected situation, the mountain protection formations of all the tribes in Yingchuan are now open all day long. In particular, several families on the border have temporarily set up several third-order formations.
On their side, Zhang Xinghao was stationed in the center, while Zhang Xingfeng, Zhang Yuanshan, and Lin Yan were responsible for guarding the formation. The jade talisman had just shattered because it was Zhang Yuanshan who sent him the message.
The cultivators present were somewhat flustered, but Zhang Xinghao remained relatively calm. As long as it wasn't a Golden Core demon cultivator who came, Lin Qing and his wife, along with the remaining four early Foundation Establishment cultivators, were enough to handle most situations.
He immediately said to Mo Wuyai, "Wuyai, you, Yuan Yao, and Meng Han will be in charge of all these Qi refining techniques in a moment."
"Yes, Wuya understands."
"Fellow Daoists, please join me in fighting the enemy!"
"It's my duty!"
The couple exchanged a glance and immediately flew away. After several dozen breaths, they finally saw what was happening outside: more than a hundred demonic cultivators, some wielding talismans and others wielding magical artifacts, were frantically attacking the great formation.
The firelight and black mist intertwined, creating a scene resembling hell.
"How could so many demonic cultivators suddenly appear? We didn't even notice them!"
Lin Qing's eyelids twitched. They had just returned from the border and hadn't noticed anything unusual on the way. Could it be that someone had been secretly following them?
"Twenty-five in the late stage of Qi Refining, forty-seven in the middle stage, and twenty-four in the early stage..."
The couple glanced at the group and realized that this was quite a force to be reckoned with. Where did these demonic cultivators come from?
Of course, these are not the most crucial factors.
The five people standing at the front stood with their hands behind their backs, surrounded by black mist, while more than a hundred ghosts roamed around them. Their power was so great that even they had to give way!
Zhang Xinghao, who arrived a little later, saw this scene, glanced at the five people again, and then let out a gasp.
"Five demonic cultivators at the late Foundation Establishment stage!?"
......
