Chapter 250: Leveling (Two-in-One)

Jiang Heqian sneered. Perhaps it was too ferocious and vicious, causing the expressions of the group of guest retainers to shift slightly. Fei Wangbai replied:

It turned out that this Jiang Heqian was precisely an old friend Fei Wangbai had arranged to stir up trouble among the various families on the East Bank. The Yu family had searched many times to no avail, yet he was actually living on this small hill beside the Dense Forest Prefecture. Jiang Heqian could no longer restrain himself and said fiercely:

"Let's go!"

——

The Dense Forest Prefecture had flat terrain and dense forests. A handful of dark, moist soil could be squeezed to extract oil. It was originally a precious land for nurturing people. No matter how the tens of thousands of the Yu family's relatives and descendants tossed about, they could still support hundreds of thousands of commoners.

With the crowing of roosters and barking of dogs, it was the time of morning. Sunlight swept across the five immortal mountains of Dense Forest Prefecture. Human figures soared into the air from the mountains, and the Yu family cultivators rode the wind toward the central plains of the Dense Forest Prefecture.

The earth veins of the five immortal mountains converged here, and the intersection of spiritual veins nurtured large tracts of spiritual fields. The market of Dense Forest Prefecture was also located among them, relying on the great array formed by the convergence of the five earth veins to conceal its form. This great array was meticulously crafted by the Yu family, using the Yu family's ancestral Mount Yuting Garrison Array. It could not only withstand the attacks of Foundation Establishment cultivators but also bolster those within the array. It had cost Yu Xiaogui a large sum of spirit stones.

Having just read two or three pages, he saw someone walk up hurriedly from below, bringing a group of clansmen, and said repeatedly:

"Great Master! I heard the Li family attacked Mount Huazhong Mountain! The Old Ancestor went over alone! The Family Head sent people over, saying they want to mobilize the family's cultivators."

"What?!"

Yu Xiao'ou stood up at once, slapped the table, both furious and panicked, and exclaimed in shock:

"This Fifth Brother, he has such a gloomy and impatient temperament, why did he go over alone! Li Tongya has always been cunning and insidious; what if the Li family has an ambush? That Li Chijing has cultivated into a Sword Immortal, how can he be underestimated?"

The group of people at the head were suddenly speechless. Yu Xiaogui was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and there were only a few cultivators in the family who dared to call him Fifth Brother so brazenly. Yu Xiaogui was also gloomy, and no one dared to provoke him. Yu Xiao'ou's words made them all terrified.

Yu Xiao'ou had after all cultivated for a hundred years, and at a glance, he saw that Yu Xiaogui and his son Yu Mugao were underestimating the enemy. The old man's chin trembled, his beard quivered, and he said urgently:

"Where is Clan Uncle Yufeng!"

"We don't know!"

The group of elders below was in a panic for a while. Yu Xiao'ou hurriedly suppressed the formation and shouted:

"Stop talking!"

Seeing the group of elders looking over, Yu Xiao'ou scolded:

"At your age, you're still panicking and have no composure. Take all your weapons and come with me to Mount Huazhong Mountain to find Yu Xiaogui!"

So the group nodded repeatedly and were just about to ride the wind, when they heard a loud shout:

"Wait!"

A young man in black flipped out from the crowd, stern and severe, holding a letter high, and shouted:

"By the order of the Family Head, you are not allowed to go to Mount Huazhong Mountain!"

The group of elders suddenly stopped their flags and drums, raised their heads, and were in a dilemma. Yu Xiao'ou was suddenly very anxious and opened his mouth to scold, but remembered that his nephew Yu Mugao had always been resourceful, so he could only suppress his temper and scold:

"If the Family Head has a plan, then just say it, damn it, instead of dawdling here!"

The young man paused. Yu Xiao'ou's seniority was very high, so he had to apologize repeatedly. Seeing him dawdling there again, Yu Xiao'ou glared and scolded again:

"Useless thing! Speak!"

The man stopped and shouted:

"The Family Head's meaning is... we should all go to the South Bank and attack Mount Mount Mount Mount Lijing!"

Once these words were spoken, the group held their breath and thought. Yu Xiao'ou immediately understood that Yu Xiaogui should be fine at Mount Huazhong Mountain, just entangled. He clapped his hands, his gray beard bristling. He had deep experience, just lost his composure for a moment due to anxiety. This time, a light touch made him understand, and he nodded repeatedly, sighing:

"This brat Mugao is truly insidious! At a glance, I knew he was Yu Xiaogui's seed. Damn it, evil wolves beget evil seeds, that's the truth! Listen clearly, everyone: attack Mount Mount Mount Mount Lijing!"

Yu Xiao'ou had just finished speaking when there was a chorus of approval below, and they all looked at him sporadically. Looking at the Yu family members who were either dull-faced or suddenly enlightened, Yu Xiao'ou felt as if a fire was burning in his heart, so he kicked the person in front of him to the ground and scolded:

"Damn idiots! Cover up the 'Yu' character on your clothes and magic tools! Who leaves their surname when killing someone's wife?! Idiots! If I went to the secular world and grabbed a shopkeeper, they would have more wit than all of you tied together!"

The person below was fat and bloated, rolled three times on the ground before standing up, nodding repeatedly. The Yu family cultivators suddenly realized, hurriedly tearing off collars and using illusion techniques. Yu Xiao'ou was so angry that his eyes were red, and he scolded:

"Truly unworthy descendants, besides eating and drinking, what else can you do?!"

His heart and spleen felt as if they were being roasted by fire, and he felt a chill wave after wave, but then heard a thunderous roar. The entire great hall was shaking, and dust was rolling down. The ground beneath his feet was vibrating incessantly. Yu Xiao'ou felt a chill in his heart, retreated a step in despair, his lips lost their color, and he gripped his robe tightly, saying in a pale, dream-like voice:

"The Fei family... it's the Fei family. Uncle Yufeng... what happened to Uncle Yufeng?"

Yu Xiao'ou only felt his head spinning. The few people below looked at him in confusion, whispering:

"This is... the great array has been triggered... who is it, daring to kick us while we're down at this time..."

"Where is the Old Ancestor? We are just waiting for the Old Ancestor to come!"

Yu Xiao'ou calmed down, stabilized his mind, felt exhausted, sighed deeply, and replied:

"Maintain the array flags respectively and meet the enemy!"

The Yu family cultivators below entered the array to maintain it. Yu Xiao'ou entered the array map to control the Mount Yuting Garrison Array. The great array suddenly became much brighter. Fei Wangbai in gray clothes stood in the sky, his face blurred, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, saying in a pale voice:

"Fellow Daoist, this Mount Yuting Garrison Array is left to you."

Jiang Heqian also covered his face, but his voice and attire were not concealed. Even the mist on his face was barely covering it, and his general appearance could be vaguely seen, as if he was not afraid at all, or even happy for the Yu family to recognize him. He replied coldly:

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured! This Mount Yuting Garrison Array was personally passed down by my Great Father. The Yu thieves only know that the Mount Yuting Garrison Array can borrow the earth veins and merge the power of multiple arrays, but they don't know the true secrets within!"

A milky white light curtain rose from the array below. Yu Xiao'ou's face vaguely emerged from the array, and under the blessing of the array, he made a thunderous sound.

"Why are you fellow Daoists attacking our Yu family market for no reason? Please consider it clearly. Our family's Old Ancestor..."

Yu Xiao'ou still wanted to delay time, but Fei Wangbai had already swept his sleeve across, making a huge crashing sound on the array, forcibly interrupting Yu Xiao'ou's words. The robe and cloak behind him drifted away silently. Fei Wangbai was afraid of being recognized, so he restrained his changes and did not take out his long spear. The Dao brocade between his immortal foundation was already secretly operating.

Jiang Heqian smiled coldly, gritted his teeth, and the expression on his face was somewhat ferocious. He was a lone man and was not afraid at all. Jade-like textures emerged between his pupils. He clapped his hands together, and six jade-like white magic lights emerged from his body. Jade-like textures extended from his skin, stretching from his elbows and earlobes, floating in the air like several white silks.

As soon as this immortal foundation was revealed, the Yu family members below were stunned. Even the array points controlled by some people were flickering, obviously their minds were greatly shaken. There was no other reason; Jiang Heqian's immortal foundation manifestation was exactly the same as the Yu family's Old Ancestor Yu Yufeng from many years ago, which immediately made everyone's imagination run wild.

Yu Xiao'ou was greatly shocked, terrified to the point of losing his soul, and blurted out:

"'Mount Yuting General'... how is this possible!"

This Jiang Heqian had cultivated the immortal foundation 'Mount Yuting General' from the "White Head Knocking Court Scripture". The "White Head Knocking Court Scripture" had long lost that breath of "Red Dust on the Court", and the Yu family had only kept one portion of this heaven and earth spiritual energy, which was used on Yu Yufeng. Since then, no one had cultivated it. Now that he saw the incoming cultivator using the immortal foundation Mount Yuting General, Yu Xiao'ou's mind went blank, and many guesses emerged.

He didn't even care about the two people attacking the array, somewhat distracted, and said astringently:

"It's you..."

The two outside did not give him a chance. Fei Wangbai did not use his long spear, but used magic and fists to suppress the Mount Yuting Garrison Array. Jiang Heqian flew forward, pressed his palms up, and the extended jade-like textures seemed to come alive, drilling into the milky white array, spreading rapidly.

"This is..."

Yu Xiao'ou's heart was in chaos, but he found that the great array was becoming more and more restless. The control he relied on the array map to maintain was slowly weakening. Yu Xiao'ou was restless, his heart pounding. He felt it was incredible, yet felt it was the cause and effect between reason. Yu Xiao'ou said astringently:

"It's the Jiang family."

The great array shook incessantly, and visible cracks and flickering appeared on the Mount Yuting Garrison Array. Yu Xiao'ou heard the terrified screams and faint crying outside the hall, and slowly loosened his hands.

"Bang!"

The Mount Yuting Garrison Array that the Yu family had painstakingly set up, the Mount Yuting Garrison Array that connected the spiritual veins of the five immortal mountains, shattered like a piece of broken paper under Jiang Heqian's spell, and the milky white light curtain slowly dissipated, turning into dots of starlight, disappearing into the Dense Forest Prefecture.

The clusters of buildings below appeared. The market of Dense Forest Prefecture had not yet reached its opening time, and most of them were Yu family cultivators and guest retainers. With two Foundation Establishment cultivators here, the group of Embryonic Breath and Qi Refining cultivators had no array to rely on, so how could they dare to stay? They fled in all directions.

The few guest retainers brought by Fei Wangbai fell to various array points. Jiang Heqian almost did not hesitate, his figure moved, and he landed in the highest hall, kicking the dome of the hall to pieces and falling into it.

"Boom..."

Yu Xiao'ou was backlashed by the Mount Yuting Garrison Array, his internal organs were in pain, his magic power was sucked clean, his body was empty, and he was almost about to fall, let alone ride the wind to escape. He could only watch the tiles and rubble of the dome fall, retreating a few steps in vain.

"Are you... the Jiang family?"

Yu Xiao'ou no longer thought about escaping, his expression complex. Having cultivated the immortal foundation 'Mount Yuting General', targeting the Yu family, having the method to crack the Mount Yuting Garrison Array, and looking at Jiang Heqian's appearance, which was somewhat similar to his late wife, Yu Xiao'ou had already concluded.

The Yu family and the An family were originally outer-surname cultivators of the Jiang family. Later, when the Jiang family declined, the Yu family and the An family used blunt knives to cut meat, slowly encroaching on the Jiang family. In the end, both families had Jiang family blood. Now looking at the former master standing in front of him, Yu Xiao'ou's heart was extremely complex.

Jiang Heqian's eyes widened slightly, his two pupils having a jade-like transparency like Yu Yufeng back then, his two terrifying pupils staring straight at Yu Xiao'ou.

Jiang Heqian did not speak, only using his eyes to look at Yu Xiao'ou, making Yu Xiao'ou retreat repeatedly, his expression wretched. Although Yu Xiao'ou was of the 'Xiao' generation, due to the accumulation of generations, he was older than Yu Yufeng. His mother was a Jiang family member, his grandmother was a Jiang family member, the one he married was a Jiang family member, and the last one he killed was also a Jiang family member.

Many chaotic illusions emerged in Yu Xiao'ou's mind. His mother, his grandmother, their eyes overlapped at this moment, shuttling through his aging mind like lightning. Jiang Heqian had not yet made a move, but had already beaten Yu Xiao'ou into retreating step by step.

"Puff!"

Yu Xiao'ou thought the middle-aged man in front of him was his wife's younger brother, or his cousin, or something else, but his jade-like hand had already pierced through Yu Xiao'ou's chest, digging out the old man's beating heart.

A bone-chilling pleasure emerged in Jiang Heqian's heart, but the old man's sorrowful and surprised eyes made him unable to bear it, feeling as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, not daring to look directly. The ferocity in his eyes slowly faded, turning into wet pain. Jiang Heqian thought:

"Perhaps this old man is my brother-in-law, or cousin, or something else."

Jiang Heqian lowered his head, slowly pulling his arm, causing Yu Xiao'ou to spit out a mouthful of blood, staining his white beard with bloodstains. He tried hard to stare at the turbid old eyes, wanting to see the middle-aged man's face clearly, seeing his eyebrows and eyes were upright and generous, and although his two eyes were ferocious and vicious, they were still extremely like his late wife, lively and carrying a light sorrow.

The dim yellow lamp flower of that wedding night flashed through his mind. The woman looked at Yu Xiao'ou with a sorrowful expression. The fifteen-year-old Yu Xiao'ou was fascinated. He lifted her long hair and called her Heqing.

In the spinning world, Yu Xiao'ou felt a kind of fate's teasing. The old man's chest heaved like a bellows. His saliva slid down the corner of his mouth due to pain, dripping down, and his urine seeped out uncontrollably. The old man, in his ugly state, trembled and spat out two words:

"Qing'er."

Jiang Heqian smiled coldly, as if mocking him. Yu Xiao'ou only lowered his head to look at the clean white arm that had pierced through his chest, his wrinkled old hand covering the arm as if to comfort it, patting it lightly and gently.

The breath that the Qi Refining peak cultivation had been hanging on his aging body loosened, Yu Xiao'ou's vitality dissipated, and he lowered his head in a daze. ===== CHAPTER 251 =====
