Su Peng shook his head, “I’m not sure yet, the Huang Family acted so abruptly, we don’t know if the Jiang Family has made a move yet.”
Turning his sight to Su Yu, Su Peng spoke quietly, “How should we handle
Su Yu’s brow relaxed at this and said, “The family can’t control this, holding strong at Dan Mountain is already an achievement.”
“Alas.”
After a while, Su Peng sighed lightly and left.
Indeed.
Their Su Family was only slightly stronger than the Chen Family, how could they manage to interfere in this? Preserving their own wealth was already quite a challenge.
After Su Peng left, Yu Ke’er spoke, “Shall we secretly go take a look? Although Taoist Friend Chen has been dead for years, regardless, the Chen Family is still her blood relatives.’
Su Yu shook his head slightly.
That evening.
A figure silently snuck through the Su Family’s Mountain Protection Array from underground and left Dan Mountain. It was only until far away that he beckoned for a flying beast, rode on it and headed towards east.
Within a few hours, the Chen Family’s West Water City was within sight.
The Dao body puppet retracted the Black Scale Eagle into the Beast Taming bag and, with a blink, disappeared into thin air from high above, descending into the dense forest below, transforming into a two-foot-sized Octopus Mantis, quietly making its way towards West Water City.
The next day.
As light gradually dawned, a thick fog wrapped the entire forest, and droplets of dew hung on green leaves. The sounds of bird calls echoed around, and some small wild animals that wandered into the fog never came out again.
In this valley, located dozens of miles away from West Water City, a formation of mist blocks its entire area, and within it stands a Magic Artifact palace.
Chen Bailai woke up from his practice and walked out of the palace. Several Yunjian Sect Inner Disciples were already up and practicing outside.
Seeing Chen Bailai’s short and slightly ugly figure appear, they all stopped practicing and stood up.
“Elder Brother Chen.”
“Elder Brother.”
Chen Bailai nodded slightly and asked, “What’s the situation outside?”
A slightly chubby disciple respectfully said, “No news has come yet, the Huang
Family has set up the ‘Yellow Sand Thousand Layer Formation’ outside West Water City, and unless it is a Core Formation True Man who appears, no one can possibly escape the Huang Family’s killing formation.”
Chen Bailai frowned slightly, “Don’t underestimate them, Su Yu is now a second-grade superior talisman master. I assume he is surely capable of drawing a second- grade superior talisman to break the formation.”
“Furthermore, with Yu Ke’er being a second- grade superior Beast Tamer, and others like Su Zhi, Tie Mengzhu and so on, the Su Family isn’t weak at all.”
The slightly chubby disciple and the other disciples hurriedly flattered, “Yes, yes, your consideration is thorough, we admire you.”
A moment later, the slightly chubby disciple hesitated and whispered, “Elder Brother, will the Su Family really show up? Now that they no longer have the backing of Luo Qianyu, they’ve been laying low these years. Do they have the nerve to intervene in other’s business?”
“In my opinion, we might as well let the Sect Master issue an order to directly
Chen Bailai glanced at him, and the slightly chubby disciple instantly shut up, lowering his head in submission.
Chen Bailai said, “If they were that easy to deal with, why would we need to make a move?”
“Go, guard West Water City, report immediately if there is any news.”
Sending those stupid disciples away, Chen Bailai looked towards Dan Mountain, his face turned a shade darker. He remembered clearly the shame and blood feud he suffered in the Great Moon Market.
Just, their Yunjian Sect couldn’t get directly involved with the Su Family, they must consider the relationship with Taoist Shuhai of the Great Moon Palace and Taoist Xiuyu of the Heavenly Mystery Hall to some extent.
But if the Su Family were to meddle in their affairs, the nature of the thing would change completely.
This would mean the Su Family was asking for trouble, even if they made a move against the Su Family, no one can say anything then, can they!
But what if what his disciple just said was correct, and Su Family really did withdraw from involvement?
Chen Bailai’s gaze turned murkier, after thinking over and over again, his gaze landed on the Huang Family, “If it really comes to that, we’ll need to find a scapegoat!”
“Or
Chen Bailai thought of the Yu Family, but thinking about the Yu Family’s power, and the unimaginable number of controlled beasts, he dismissed the idea. The Yu Family was not easy to deal with, now was not the time to mess with the Yu Family.
If their ancestor does not take action personally, as long as the Yu Family holds Black Rock Mountain, they can be in an invincible position.
So, they’ll need a scapegoat instead.
“Huang Family, hmph, they are really ambitious.” Chen Bailai thought of the recent rumors about the Huang Family, a zeal flashing in his eyes. Huang Shengyi of the Huang Family had just released a bold statement, insinuating that she would abandon the Jiang Family in favor of Taoist Shuhai of the House of Daemon, even if it meant becoming his concubine.
They haven’t heard back about whether or not she has succeeded, but at least Huang Shengyi has gone to the House of Daemon’s black market.
But, Chen Bailai felt that considering Huang Shengyi’s rather questionable reputation, they’re certainly dreaming.
Chen Bailai decided to stay at the Magic Artifact Palace to wait for news.
Meanwhile, a Dao Body Puppet silently approached West Water City. As soon as it got close, it stopped. Something was wrong with the sky and earth up ahead: “There’s a formation, and it’s a second-order superior formation at that!”
It took a detour, but it quickly halted once more.
Something seemed amiss ahead.
He crouched in the bushes, stalking his way through the dense forest while keeping an eye on the area: “Restraining breath formation? Concealment formation? Does that mean members of the Huang Family might be hiding there?”
Dashing into a nearby dense forest, the Dao Body Puppet hid amidst a crack in the stones, coming to a stop.
“This formation… it’s a trap for sure.” Cold lights flashed through the eyes of the Dao Body Puppet as it mused over a strategy, “Why is the Huang Family suddenly moving against the Chen Family? And why ambush the Su Family?”
“Is it the faction of the Yunjian Sect Master? Such greed,” it thought.
The Dao Body Puppet took a deep breath, thinking of Luo Qianyu, who was still in closed-door meditation for cultivation renewal. There was still some wait time before she would be ready.
If Luo Qianyu could advance to the Core Formation stage and assume command of the Yunjian Sect, then everyone in the Yunjian Sect would be nothing more than jesters.
He glanced at West Water City, which had been transformed into a net of heaven and earth, then swiftly darted out of the stone crack and headed for
Guanlan Mountain.
If you all love to ambush so much, wouldn’t you forsake managing your homes?
Two days later.
A member of the Huang Family, riding a flying beast, arrived outside West Water City, frantically crying out, “First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder; The family head has ordered you all to return immediately. A terrifying monstrous beast, Bibrachis Mantis, has appeared outside of Guanlan Mountain. Fifth Elder has been slaughtered by it and many others had their heads beheaded by it. Even our ancestor and the family head, after joining forces, were badly injured fighting it and barely survived.”
“We can’t stay here to ambush the Su Family any longer, we must hurry back to deal with that monstrous beast!”
Inside the concealed formation, the faces of the Huang Family members changed drastically upon hearing this news.
“A terrifying monstrous beast?”
“Fifth Elder is dead?!”
“Bibrachis Mantis?”
Those who had participated in the large beast tide at the House of Daemon’s black market in the past turned pale. The scene of the third-order inferior Bibrachis Mantis monstrous beast wreaking havoc appeared vividly in their minds.
It killed a pseudo Dan realm cultivator in an instant!
Even the dozens of cultivators around did not survive!
It was truly terrifying!
And now, another Bibrachis Mantis had appeared outside the Huang Family dwelling?
The flickering gleam in the eyes of the head Elder of the Huang family carried a murderous intent. When he heard it was a monstrous beast, he snapped, “Did the Yu family do this?!”
However, the person who was sent to deliver the message shook his head again and again, “We’re not sure about that yet, the monstrous beast has cornered us inside our place, and we can’t leave to investigate. To get me out, many of our people died!”
The First Elder of the Huang Family gritted his teeth and glared at West Water City. He swiftly collected all the flags that made the formation, declared, “Let’s go, return to the family immediately!”
He collected a set of yellow sand thousand layer formation flags, then pulled out a flying boat, and returned to Guanlan Mountain with everyone.
Meanwhile, the Dao Body Puppet was hiding dozens of miles away from Guanlan Mountain, on a peak. It was like a dead object, concealed underground, waiting quietly for its prey to return.
He had no confidence in destroying the Huang Family, but he was certain he could let the Huang Family know they had provoked some trouble they shouldn’t have.
The Huang Family… they are not naked-footed demons like Luo Bang or the members of the Baiyan Demon Path!
Whatever one does, there’s a price to pay!
