Chapter 267: Attacking (Seeking monthly tickets)

A few days later.

Mount Baihua.

"Everything in the family is entrusted to you, Wan Qing."

Mu Wanlv gave a final instruction, turned into a stream of light, and flew into a white jade palace.

This was the Mu family's war artifact—the Bai Yu Palace!

When it was built, countless resources were invested, and now it has a large number of Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators sitting in it... especially several False Jin Dan and the Mu family's three Jin Dan True Persons.

Even if they encountered a late Jin Dan, they could hold out for a long time.

This time, the Mu family naturally didn't send out all their elites, but recruited a large number of loose cultivators.

It's just that they had to worry about public opinion, so they didn't dare to go too far, with the ratio of low-rank loose cultivators to family cultivators being about half and half.

Of course, most of those family cultivators were the old, weak, sick, and disabled, or those with no hope on their path.

Watching the Bai Yu Palace's escape light disappear into the horizon, Mu Wan Qing looked around, feeling quite satisfied.

Now on Mount Baihua, he was finally completely in charge!

'That old thing, he hasn't even come out of seclusion today...'

Mu Wan Qing looked at the valley where Fang Xing's cave dwelling was located, a trace of gloom flashing in his eyes.

Of course, he had no way to deal with Mu Wanlong.

The man made it clear he didn't want benefits, didn't want face... even he felt like a mouse pulling a turtle, with nowhere to bite.

"Elder Wan Qing... I have prepared wine, songs, and dances in my cave dwelling. Would you like to go and appreciate them, Elder Wan Qing?"

A False Jin Dan True Person stepped forward, his face full of smiles.

"The Family Head has entrusted me with a great responsibility, how can I indulge in wine and women?"

Mu Wan Qing refused righteously.

A moment later, a divine sense transmission reached his ears: "Hehe... Elder Wan Qing, those songstresses of mine are all from the 'Yin-Yang Joyous Building'. If you don't go, Elder, it would be a real pity..."

"Since that's the case..."

Mu Wan Qing also transmitted via divine sense: "Let's make it tomorrow night..."

The Yin-Yang Joyous Building is famous in the Dajing cultivation world. The female cultivators trained there are not only stunningly beautiful, but the techniques they practice are also of great benefit to cultivators for advancing their magic power, so the price of the female slaves sold is very high.

Especially the Foundation Establishment-level dancers, who are said to not only have graceful and amazing dance moves, but the techniques they practice are even helpful to Jin Dan cultivators!

A few days later.

Inside the Rank 4 cave dwelling.

Fang Xing was sitting cross-legged, refining spiritual energy to increase his magic power.

For him, no matter how chaotic the outside world was, it was not as important as his own cultivation progress.

"Hmm?"

He suddenly felt the spiritual vein under the ground vibrate, so he couldn't help but stand up and fly out of the cave dwelling.

He saw that Mount Baihua was in chaos, and the Ten Thousand Flowers and Thousand Illusions Great Array that originally covered the mountain was actually slowly... disappearing?

A Rank 3 exotic spirit crane was showing off its power above the Mu family's ancestral land.

With a shake of its crane feathers, white feathers fell from mid-air, turning into sharp flying swords, beheading all the Mu family cultivators who wanted to kill this demon.

Beside that Rank 3 white crane, a False Jin Dan cultivator was also floating.

"Mu Wanlan... how dare you betray the family?"

A Mu family False Jin Dan cultivator looked at Mu Wanlan, who was helping the evildoer, his eyes bloodshot.

He had a Rank 3 defensive spell on him—the Nine Fire Ni Huolong Cover. At this moment, he roared, and a pitch-black 'Hunyuan Stone' magic treasure quickly turned into a small mountain and pressed towards Mu Wanlan.

'Mu Wanlan? Is he a False Jin Dan elder from Mu Wan Qing's lineage? Has he betrayed the family?'

Fang Xing found relevant information from Mu Wanlong's memory and couldn't help but be speechless.

"Where is Mu Wan Qing? Did he surrender or die? How did he manage the formation hub token?"

He flew to the high altitude of the ancestral land, looking unhappy.

The Ten Thousand Flowers and Thousand Illusions Great Array was once a Rank 4 formation; even if it had weakened, it was still a quasi-Rank 4!

It was not something a mere Rank 3 spirit crane could destroy.

It must have been that the formation hub master control token was obtained. This thing was originally kept by Mu Wanlong, and later handed over to Mu Wanlv along with the position of family head.

Now that Mu Wanlv was going to reclaim the wasteland, he naturally transferred the token to Mu Wan Qing, who was guarding the family.

"Screech!"

The spirit crane, with pure white feathers and a cinnabar red crown, flashed a trace of playfulness in its eyes. Its long, sharp beak was like a flying sword, and its movements had the sharpness of a Jin Dan sword cultivator.

It spread its wings, its escape speed was amazing, and it came before Mu Wanlan. With just a peck of its beak, the mountain-like Hunyuan Stone magic treasure was pierced by a white light.

"Rank 3 high-grade demon beast?"

The previous False Jin Dan elder spat out a mouthful of essence blood, his face pale, and filled with panic.

The current Mu family, facing such a Rank 3 high-grade demon beast, was very likely to be exterminated.

He, a False Jin Dan cultivator, relied on the family to have a low-grade magic treasure to protect himself. In front of the Rank 3 high-grade exotic spirit crane, he was naturally vulnerable...

Swish swish!

White feathers like flying swords extinguished the Nine Fire Flame Dragons one by one. The False Jin Dan True Person was looking at his true essence protective cover shattering in horror, when suddenly he saw a pitch-black shield appear in front of him, blocking all the crane feather flying swords.

"So, Mu Wanlan, you betrayed the family, harmed Mu Wan Qing, and even took the initiative to open the family formation to welcome the thieves?"

Fang Xing stood with his hands behind his back, his beard and hair bristling, like an angry lion.

Mu Wanlan sneered: "So what if I did? Mu Wan Qing snatched my opportunity back then, which is why he could condense the true pill, and you, old guy, were pushing from behind... Today, I might as well tell you, Mu Wanlv and the others are dead for sure. Now we are just waiting for the array to completely dissipate, and the cultivators from the Bai He Sect, Zhang family, Wang family, and Haisha Gang outside will immediately enter and destroy the Mu family!"

He had invited Mu Wan Qing to drink and have fun before, which was naturally a cover.

In fact, he had brought the Bai He Sect's Rank 3 high-grade spirit crane in early to ambush Mu Wan Qing.

As a spirit beast, the exotic spirit crane could be placed in a specially made spirit beast bag, making its movements more concealed and its strength formidable.

Mu Wan Qing was caught off guard and ambushed, unable to resist at all, killed in one blow, and the formation token was snatched away.

'Sure enough, he's a ruthless wolf, but you're also a Mu family member...'

'No, if the Mu family is destroyed, where will I find a Rank 4 cave dwelling?'

Fang Xing complained inwardly, and an abnormal flush appeared on his face: "It seems... you have quite a grudge because I gave the Golden-Condensing Pill to Wan Qing instead of you back then... With such a state of mind, no wonder you could only condense a False Jin Dan!"

"Old scoundrel!"

Mu Wanlan's eyes turned red immediately: "You old guy who is dying from serious injuries... Crane Venerable, quickly send this person on his way!"

The next moment, the magic power fluctuation on Fang Xing's body suddenly became violent.

From the early Jin Dan stage, he broke through to the mid Jin Dan stage in one go.

And it was still climbing, finally breaking through to the late Jin Dan stage!

The formidable magic power fluctuation made the exotic spirit crane take a few steps back, and a very anthropomorphic wariness appeared in its bird eyes.

"Late Jin Dan?"

Mu Wanlan widened his eyes, completely unable to believe it: "Impossible... you were clearly seriously injured! Even before you were injured, you were only at the mid Jin Dan stage."

"This old man is using a forbidden technique today to forcibly suppress my injuries and break through my realm, to fight for the family until the last drop of blood is shed!"

Fang Xing spoke righteously, carrying a tragic momentum.

"Family Head!"

Below, many Mu family elders were in tears.

In their view, this former family head had made great contributions to the family, although he was muddled and cowardly in his old age... but at the moment of the family's life and death, he actually risked his life to fight the enemy, which could be said to have washed away all past stains, leaving only brilliance!

After all, this previous family head had long been seriously injured and difficult to heal, and now he was rashly using a forbidden technique to raise his cultivation and suppress his injuries... I'm afraid that after the forbidden technique ends, he will die and disappear!

"Go!"

Fang Xing didn't care about these things, took out a 'Ni Huolong Staff' magic treasure often used by Mu Wanlong, and the late Jin Dan magic power poured into it, causing this magic treasure to erupt with brilliant red light.

Amidst the sky full of flames, only a dragon roar was heard!

A fire dragon appeared, and in the center of the fire dragon was a crimson wooden staff.

This wooden staff was carved into the shape of a fire dragon, and at this moment, it seemed to come alive, turning into a fire flood dragon dozens of feet long, showing off its power and fighting with the Rank 3 high-grade Crane Venerable.

Seeing this scene, Mu Wanlan's face changed drastically, and he turned into a stream of light, flying outside Mount Baihua.

Crane Venerable was ultimately not his spirit pet; he could only request, not command, and would not risk serious injury to protect him!

'Damn it... who could have thought the former family head could still use a forbidden technique...'

'No, I can't die... as long as I hold out until the forbidden technique wears off, and join up with the Bai He Sect cultivators outside... I will definitely be able to...'

Mu Wanlan's eyes were splitting, but he saw a flash of fire in front of him.

'Mu Wanlong's' escape light was amazingly fast, actually cutting him off directly.

"Those who betray the family shall be executed!"

Fang Xing's expression was cold, and a golden Rank 3 treasure talisman appeared in his hand.

He was ultimately not Mu Wanlong, so using the other party's magic treasure was fine, but if he wanted to perform any unique spells, it was completely asking for trouble.

Fortunately, in the cultivation world, there were high-rank talismans!

This gold-attribute Rank 3 'Hundred-Refined Golden Blade Talisman' was contributed by an unlucky Jin Dan cultivator who died in his hands, and its power was quite good.

The late Jin Dan magic power was injected into the talisman, and only a golden blade light flashed, passing Mu Wanlan's neck with lightning speed.

His defensive magic treasure and False Jin Dan true essence could not resist it at all; a blood line appeared on his neck, and then his corpse fell from mid-air.

A late Jin Dan great cultivator can easily behead early and mid Jin Dan cultivators.

Not to mention a False Jin Dan True Person.

And at this time, that fire flood dragon was still fighting fiercely with Crane Venerable.

Seeing a flash of light in Fang Xing's hand, Crane Venerable took out the formation token seized from Mu Wanlan, and was scared out of its wits.

It spread its wings, a cyan gale appeared, forcing the fire flood dragon back. Its movement was extremely agile, and with a crane cry that shook the sky, it soared into the sky!

But the next moment, it saw that the heaven and earth around it had already changed environment, with countless petals dancing.

—Ten Thousand Flowers and Thousand Illusions Great Array!

This kind of town-family array is naturally easy to open but difficult to close.

Even if Mu Wanlan held the restriction hub token, he could only slowly close the array's power.

And falling into Fang Xing's hands, he could quickly restore the array's power!

Petals fell one after another, like a colorful cage, trapping the Rank 3 spirit crane inside.

"Not good!"

Looking at the formation on Mount Baihua operating again, and hearing the miserable crane cries in his ears, the several Jin Dan cultivators hiding their heads and showing their tails outside the mountain looked at each other, all seeing their own unease...
