Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 755 Interception and Counterattack
At the foot of the mountain where the Hall of Transmission of Skills is located, Yang Zhengshan carefully made his way through the forest all by himself.

He was about to leave the ancient formation, so he naturally couldn't bring the blue wolves with him. Therefore, he had to travel alone.

Without the wolf guarding him, Yang Zhengshan traveled alone, reverting to his cautious demeanor. He strolled leisurely through the forest.

"I wonder how Lan Peng and the others are doing?"

Yang Zhengshan thought to himself as he hurried along.

During this month, he did not have any contact with anyone. Even when he encountered people, he either avoided them or had the Blue Wolf drive them away.

This has left him completely unaware of the situation of others.

Lan Peng and his companions' primary goal is to acquire spiritual objects to forge their golden bodies. Lan Peng needs a spiritual object with the metal attribute, while Lu Youning and Bai Mingyue need a spiritual object with the fire attribute. Both of these attributes can be found in the ancient formation.

There is a mineral vein in the eastern part of the ruins, which is said to be a mineral vein with both metal and fire attributes, containing many high-grade ores with metal and fire attributes.

Lan Peng and his group's target was this mine. If they were lucky, they might be able to obtain a few pieces of ore that could be used to forge their spirit foundation.

In fact, Yang Zhengshan also wanted to go mining, but he gave up after just thinking about it.

There must be a lot of people over there; he definitely won't get away with it if he goes.

If only there were no one here, he could bring out the people from the Land of Spiritual Origin and have them all dig the pit together.

Yang Zhengshan felt a little regretful.

"I'll have to wait until next time!"

Yang Zhengshan thought to himself.

Just then, as he leaped from a large tree, a sudden warning signal struck him. Without any hesitation, his forward-flying figure abruptly stopped, and then he seemed to be pulled back by something, flying more than ten feet away.

As he retreated, two sharp blades flashed past his face, almost grazing the hem of his clothes.

The next instant, another chilling sword blade came hurtling towards them head-on.

Yang Zhengshan's face was gloomy, his eyes narrowed as he watched the figure darting out from the treetops ahead. He thrust out his spear, shattering the oncoming sword blade.

Damn, these guys are actually waiting here to ambush me?

Yang Zhengshan cursed inwardly. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been seriously injured even if he hadn't died.

The blades shooting from both sides and the swords coming from the front formed a huge net. If he moved even a foot further forward, he would suffer three more wounds, and the sword blades might even sever his head.

"Hehe, not bad, your reaction is pretty quick!"

Three figures slowly emerged from the dense vegetation, and the one who spoke was the person standing in the tree opposite Yang Zhengshan.

The man was wearing a light blue long robe, was slightly thin, had an ordinary face, and many wrinkles on his face.

The other two were also dressed in light blue robes and looked quite old.

They were all people whose lifespans were about to end, and they came to this ancient ruins to try their luck.

Moreover, judging from their attire, they are likely deacons of the Xuanqing Sect.

The three major sects did send people into this place; each sect dispatched three to five people into the ruins. These people were all stewards whose lifespans were nearing their end. Their only purpose in entering the ruins was to find spiritual objects that could be used to forge a spiritual foundation.

For people like them, the chances of breaking through are already extremely slim, but there are always some who are unwilling to give up and want to make one last gamble before their lifespan ends, seeking one last chance for a breakthrough.

Don't think they're useless just because they're old. These old guys are all highly skilled cultivators, and their cultivation has already reached the peak of the Heavenly Gang stage.

Yang Zhengshan was genuinely a little intimidated by these three old men!

There was nothing he could do; he had only broken through to the Heavenly Gang stage less than a year ago, while these three old guys in front of him had been immersed in the Heavenly Gang stage for decades.

If he were facing only one opponent, Yang Zhengshan would be somewhat confident, but facing three at once, he had no confidence at all.

As for why they are blocking the way, isn't it obvious?

They were waiting for someone like Yang Zhengshan, who was preparing to leave the ruins, to come to them.

Upon seeing the three men appear, Yang Zhengshan immediately decided to flee without saying a word.

With a swift turn, he shot off like an arrow, flying back in the direction he had come from.

"Want to run?"

Upon seeing this, the slightly thinner old man sneered and immediately pressed forward to catch up.

The other two elderly men were also in hot pursuit.

"Three seniors, we have no grudge against each other, why would you want to kill me?" Yang Zhengshan was fast, his whole body flashing through the forest like a phantom.

Although he wasn't as good as these old guys at flying, he was just as good at navigating through the forest.

“Young man, you can’t blame this old man. You can only blame your bad luck!” the slightly thin old man said.

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Yang Zhengshan's eyes.

Damn it, if that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless!
He looked at the rocks ahead, suddenly increased his speed, and with a flash he turned behind the rocks. Then, with a thought, he returned to the Spirit Source Land.

Three old geezers, do you really think I'm easy to bully?
Yang Zhengshan stood in the Spirit Source Land, but his gaze was fixed on the situation outside.

His sudden disappearance left the three old men in a state of bewilderment.

The three old men cautiously observed their surroundings. They had only seen Yang Zhengshan dart behind the rocks, and when they followed him, Yang Zhengshan had vanished without a trace.

This surprised and puzzled them.

"What about people?"

"strangeness!"

"Could this person also know the art of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the earth

"how is this possible?"

The three of them began searching around the rocks.

Seeing their surprised and suspicious looks, Yang Zhengshan's eyes were filled with coldness.

"what happened?"

Yu Qingyi suddenly walked over and asked.

Yang Zhengshan looked at her, concealing the murderous intent in his eyes, and said, "There are three old guys outside looking for me! These guys actually tried to ambush me! Luckily, I was vigilant and managed to dodge them!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingyi glanced at Yang Zhengshan from head to toe, "It's good that he's not injured!"

"Hmm, you've broken through!" Yang Zhengshan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yu Qingyi went into seclusion to break through her cultivation since last night. Now that Yu Qingyi has come out, doesn't that mean she has successfully broken through?
"I've broken through!" Yu Qingyi smiled broadly.

Yang Zhengshan burst into laughter, all the gloom in his heart vanishing.

Although Yu Qingyi's breakthrough was expected, Yang Zhengshan was still overjoyed that she had actually achieved it.

"You should stabilize your cultivation first. We'll celebrate together after I leave the ruins!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

Yu Qingyi naturally didn't care about these things. She asked, "What's the situation outside?"

Yang Zhengshan's gaze seemed to pierce through the space of the Spirit Source Land, looking outside as if he had already left!
But just as he looked away, the three people reappeared beside the rocks.

"Damn it, those three old geezers are still waiting outside!"

Yang Zhengshan said through gritted teeth.

These three old geezers actually made a feint. If Yu Qingyi hadn't interrupted, he might have gone out and run into them head-on.

"Let's wait a little longer before going out!" Yu Qingyi said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, and simply went back into the house with Yu Qingyi, where they brewed a pot of tea.

Anyway, there was still plenty of time, so he wasn't afraid of taking a little longer.

After waiting for more than an hour to confirm that the three old men had really left, Yang Zhengshan prepared to go out.

Of course, he didn't go out directly, but first found the Blue Wolf King and sent him out.

What if those three old men are patient enough to wait there? Wouldn't he just fall into their trap if he went out?

Although he could still hide in the Spirit Source Land, it would likely expose its existence. So, it's better to be safe than sorry; let the Blue Wolf King go out and scout ahead first.

As for whether the Blue Wolf King will be ambushed!

Hehe~~
Yang Zhengshan expressed his confidence in the strength of the Blue Wolf King.

After confirming that no one was around, Yang Zhengshan led Dalang and Daqing out from behind the rocks.

"Can we find their scent?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

The Blue Wolf King let out two soft whimpers.

"Very well, take your henchmen and kill them! You dare to intercept me? I'll take your three old lives!"

Yang Zhengshan patted the Blue Wolf King on the head, signaling that the Blue Wolf King could begin the hunt.

The Blue Wolf King wagged its tail and rubbed against Yang Zhengshan, then led Dalang and Daqing into the forest.

Looking at the figure of the Blue Wolf King, Yang Zhengshan felt that something was wrong.

"Has this guy changed? He seems a bit... "

"So dog-like!"

A flash of inspiration struck Yang Zhengshan, and he immediately realized that something about the Green Wolf King had changed.

When he first met the Blue Wolf King, the guy was quite imposing.

But now, the way it wags its tail and jumps around makes it look more and more like a dog.

But it's good that it looks dog-like; it makes it look cuter.

As Yang Zhengshan pondered this, he had already followed the blue wolf and stealthily made his way into the depths of the forest.

When it comes to hunting in the mountains and forests, this pack of blue wolves is definitely a professional.

The Blue Wolf King quickly located the three old men, who were still hiding in the grass and trees, waiting for their prey to come to them.

However, by this time they had become prey for Yang Zhengshan and the Blue Wolves.

The deep mountain forest was completely silent. The three old men concealed their presence among the grass and trees, making them virtually undetectable under normal circumstances.

However, the wolves' keen sense of smell made it impossible for them to hide.

The wolves slowly formed a circle around them, and then, using the cover of the grass and trees, they slowly approached them.

The slightly thin old man leaned against the tree trunk, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

His deep eyes suddenly became wary.

"No, who is it?"

Suddenly, he shouted a question.

"What's wrong?" his companion asked.

The old man's gaze swept over the surrounding vegetation. "It's too quiet!"

Yes, it's too quiet; the forest shouldn't be this quiet.

Even if there's no wind, there should at least be birdsong and insect chirping.

Upon hearing this, his two companions also became wary.

Just then, the old man caught a glimpse of a streak of light out of the corner of his eye.

"careful!"

No sooner had he spoken than the Blue Wolf King leaped from the dense vegetation and pounced on an old man standing under a tree.

The next moment, the other nine blue wolves also transformed into afterimages and rushed towards the other two.

Yang Zhengshan had personally experienced the speed of the Blue Wolves. In front of them, Yang Zhengshan had almost no chance to maneuver and could only hide in the Spirit Source Land.

Although the three old men in front of them were a bit stronger than Yang Zhengshan, they were facing a wolf king and nine adult blue wolves.

The wolves' attack happened in the blink of an eye, especially the wolf king's attack. The man barely had time to react before the sharp wolf claws pierced his chest.

Yang Zhengshan's figure emerged from the trees not far away, and he saw this scene just in time, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

Even a clay Buddha has some temper, let alone him.

Just as Yang Zhengshan appeared, the slightly thin old man in the tree dodged the attack of the four blue wolves and happened to see Yang Zhengshan.

"It's you!" he exclaimed in shock and anger.

Yang Zhengshan looked at him coldly.

"You know how to control beasts!" He dodged the wolf's attacks with a series of quick movements.

This old guy's strength is truly impressive; he's far superior to Yang Zhengshan.

"Wait, make them stop, I'm willing~~"

However, he was still no match for the four blue wolves, and could only passively evade their attacks.

Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to negotiate with Yang Zhengshan.

Unfortunately, some wolves refused to listen to his nonsense.

Sharp wolf claws slashed across his back, followed by another wolf claw piercing his heart.

Blood-stained wolf claws emerged from his chest, staining his clothes crimson.

That wasn't the end. A gaping maw loomed over his head, and with a snap, his head was swallowed by the wolf's jaws and pierced through by its sharp canine teeth.

Crunch, crunch~~
The Blue Wolf King chewed a few times and then swallowed the head.

"Damn, do you have to be so gory?"

Yang Zhengshan's lips twitched slightly.

woohoo~~
The Blue Wolf King howled.

The remaining blue wolves devoured the corpses of the three old men in a matter of moments.

Perhaps because they hadn't eaten fresh food for several days, they were eating with unusual gusto, forcing Yang Zhengshan, who had originally intended to stop them, to swallow his words.

Not letting wolves eat meat is really putting them in a difficult position!
Even if Yang Zhengshan wanted them to be more well-behaved, now was not the time to teach them; he could only teach them slowly in the future.

The three corpses were soon reduced to a pool of blood, just like the bloodstains left in the square in front of the Hall of Transmission.

However, the blue wolf did manage to bring the three old men's belongings to Yang Zhengshan.

Three storage bags, two long knives, and one longsword.

Yang Zhengshan threw the longsword and long saber directly into the warehouse of the Spirit Source Land, and then opened the three storage bags to check them.

These three old men really got a lot out of it; their storage bags were stuffed full.

It looks like they've already ambushed and killed quite a few people!
There are plenty of spiritual medicines, spiritual fruits, spiritual pills, and spiritual weapons.

There were also many treasures collected from this ancient formation. Yang Zhengshan took out a small jade sword. This thing seemed very special. He glanced at it and then threw it into the warehouse of the Spirit Source Land.

They also visited the Hall of Transmission of Techniques, and not only them, but also some of the people they were trying to kill.

Because they have not just three kinds of cultivation techniques in their storage bags, but a total of six.

In addition, there are many other minerals.

"Is this a metal-attribute spiritual object? Can it be used to forge a spiritual foundation?" Yang Zhengshan took out a piece of golden ore and felt the rich metal-attribute spiritual energy contained within it.

As the saying goes, "Killing someone and then letting them return their golden belt."

These three old men indeed reaped a huge reward.

However, all of this has now benefited Yang Zhengshan.
