Chapter 683: Summoning

A desolate mountain.

Li Jiantong was waiting, feeling anxious and uneasy.

The Family Ancestor facing off against the Qingding Sect Ancestor—this was a battle sufficient to determine the future of the Lin and Wu Kingdoms!

Unfortunately, he was helpless in this matter and could only passively wait for the outcome to appear.

Just at this moment, a streak of Light descended from the sky.

Upon seeing that it was the familiar streak of Light, Li Jiantong could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.

At the very least, the worst-case scenario had not occurred; his own Ancestor was still here!

"Greetings, Ancestor. What has become of Qingyunzi?"

"Quickly, stop him!"

After all, the Spirit Veins of the two families were quite close; if they did not become allies, they would inevitably have to fight to the death!

Amidst a chorus of agreement, a Foundation Establishment cultivator near the gate suddenly said nothing, tore a Talisman, and fled outward wrapped in a streak of Light, moving at extreme speed!

"Correct, it is indeed this seat!"

"Qingyunzi's head is here; what else do you all have to say?"

He looked around the circle, speaking with high spirits.

Even Daoist Mo of the Three Beasts Sect stood there stunned.

The one speaking was a Foundation Establishment cultivator carrying two swords on his back, whose cultivation had reached Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, his face full of impatience.

Aaron secretly retracted the 'Invisible Needle' and asked casually.

……

In the back hall of the meeting chamber, Aaron swept his Divine Sense over the Foundation Establishment cultivators invited by Li Jiantong for various reasons, flipping through the roster and introductions, a smile appearing on his face: "I didn't expect... the Li Family actually has a close relationship with the Lotus Pond Shen Family, and they have even intermarried many times over these hundreds of years, counting as watching over and helping each other."

The front hall of the meeting chamber.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator jumped out and said righteously.

"Li Jiantong... you summoned us here and said there were important matters to discuss; what exactly is the important matter?"

Seeing Aaron arrive, Li Jiantong hurriedly went to welcome him and bowed to ask.

"What is there that cannot be said? Could it be that we have suffered little enough oppression from the Qingding Sect?" Li Jiantong said with high spirits: "Additionally... I am informing everyone of a piece of news: our family's Ancestor Qingjing has returned after achieving Golden Core, and furthermore, he beheaded Qingyunzi just a few days ago!"

"Hehe... Daoist Li, this joke is not one to be made." Shen Wantong said with a dry laugh, cold sweat already continuously seeping from his forehead.

As an in-law, the Supreme Elder of the Shen Family, Shen Wantong, laughed and tried to smooth things over.

Aaron laughed loudly as he walked out, his Golden Core level Dharma Power suppressing the entire hall, and he tossed out a head—it was precisely the head of Qingyunzi!

But in a situation where the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, the Qingding Sect was not without some die-hards who wanted to rely on the Third-tier Array Formation to put up a desperate resistance and seek reinforcements from other Golden Core Sects...

"This is truly the dog head of the old thief Qingyun!"

Seeing that there were already over ten Foundation Establishment cultivators present, Li Jiantong nodded and said loudly: "To tell you the truth, the reason I invited all you fellow Daoists here this time is to discuss the matter of jointly crusading against the Qingding Sect!"

"It's a Third-tier Escape Talisman!"

Another white-haired Foundation Establishment cultivator exclaimed.

Shen Wantong was instantly dumbfounded.

After all, from now on, the Li Family would be the sky of the Lin Kingdom!

"Daoist Mo, wait a moment... Daoist Li invited us here, so naturally there is a matter."

"Not bad... a genuine Five Elements Maze Array... theoretically speaking, if its power is fully unleashed, it can withstand a Golden Core cultivator for a period of time..."

For example, Qingyunzi; even if he disappeared for a few years, the Qingding Sect would likely assume their Ancestor had gone somewhere to travel or enter seclusion.

……

"What?"

All the Foundation Establishment cultivators looked at Qingyunzi's head, and while shocked to the point of speechlessness, only one thought remained in their hearts: "The sky of these Lin and Wu Kingdoms... is about to change!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators present were all in a panic, but then they saw that streak of Light in the sky suddenly stall, and a corpse fell down like a kite with a broken string.

The cultivator surnamed Mo was the second to speak, seemingly wanting to make up for his previous attitude.

Xiaoyue Mountain.

That Foundation Establishment cultivator had died without a sound...

"Not good... this person must be a die-hard of the Qingding Sect!"

When Aaron arrived at Qingding Mountain, what he saw was the scene of the Third-tier sect-protecting Great Array fully activated.

A cultivator's concept of time is different from that of a mortal.

"My Zhang Family is willing to contribute!"

Those Foundation Establishment cultivators lowered their heads one after another, and the previously arrogant Daoist Mo was even more like a quail...

Although it wasn't that they didn't want to let the Li Family swallow it alone, there was no help for it... the Li Family was truly too weak, with only one Foundation Establishment, while the Qingding Sect had more than one Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator...

The passing Li Family members had never seen so many high-level cultivators; they were so scared they didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.

Everyone's gaze toward Aaron could not help but become even more reverent.

The Qingding Sect didn't even have something as high-end as a Soul Lamp...

Three days later.

He was a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the 'Three Beasts Sect'; this Three Beasts Sect was a cultivation sect in the Lin Kingdom with three Foundation Establishment cultivators, so his tone was naturally quite firm.

However, when over a dozen Foundation Establishment forces underneath rebelled together and the Golden Core Ancestor still did not appear, even the slowest person realized what was going on.

If he had to do everything himself, although Aaron wouldn't be worked to death, he didn't possess the art of cloning...

At this moment, he also saw clearly that the Qingding Sect had lost its only Golden Core Ancestor and was bound to be defeated!

If they didn't get on the bandwagon now, when would they?

With their in-law relationship with the Li Family, they wouldn't be left without a share of the soup!

"Our Three Beasts Sect is willing to serve as the vanguard!"

For a time, the entire Qingding Sect was like a family in mourning; many cultivators even left without a word, fleeing far away from the Lin Kingdom.

However, thinking about it carefully, this was to be expected.

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap on flat ground!

Aaron waved his hand, saying with a calm and indifferent expression.

"Ancestor Qingjing? That False Core Li Qingjing who left in a fit of pique back then?"

"Who is this person?"

Streaks of Light descended one after another, and from them stepped out one or several Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment Dashiu.

"Xiao Chi of the Lieyan Sect... I had heard that the Lieyan Sect and the Qingding Sect had an ambiguous relationship, and now it seems it is indeed so... There is a traitor among us!"

"From this day forward, there is no longer a person named Qingyunzi in this world... Go, summon the other Foundation Establishment forces to discuss the matter of jointly attacking the Qingding Sect."

"My Xie Family and the Qingding Sect are irreconcilable!"

Then, this led to chaos throughout the Immortal Cultivation World of the Lin Kingdom; after all, there is no cultivator who does not understand the principle that when a wall is about to collapse, everyone gives it a push.

A few Foundation Establishment cultivators even took out their Magic Tools, preparing to flee or even counter-attack!

Aaron rolled his eyes in his heart, but he still had to sit upright: "Since that is the case, before we, the various families, crusade against the Qingding Sect, let us first destroy the Fire Sect, let everyone's Magic Tools see some blood, and bring us some good luck!"

'Strictly speaking, you are the ones who are the traitors!'

Shen Wantong said loudly: "My Shen Family will surely follow the Ancestor to the death; we are willing to exert ourselves for the Ancestor and attack the Qingding Sect!"

Aaron gazed at the Array Formation, his eyes carrying a hint of nostalgia.

The Qingding Sect had once helped the Sanshan Association set up such a Great Array.

However, judging by his current attainments in Array Formation, there was no doubt that the one on Qingding Mountain was the authentic version, while the one in Dongmen Valley could only be considered a cut-corner, shrunken version!
