Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 887 It’s you!

Upon arriving at Shuangfeng Gorge again, Yang Zhengshan concealed his aura to the extreme, and like a ghost, he silently slipped into the gorge.

The narrow canyon was filled with dark vines, making it look even more crowded, but this was nothing to Yang Zhengshan. He released his spiritual sense and kept flashing, and in a short while he arrived at the bottom of the canyon.

The bottom of the canyon was even darker, almost pitch black, and the air was filled with the smell of rotting vegetation.

Yang Zhengshan unleashed his spiritual senses, continuously exploring his surroundings.

He quickly discovered many traces of formations. Mo Xuanyu's skill in formations was quite good, and the environment here was also very suitable for him to set up formations using Yin Sha and Blood Sha Qi.

Logically speaking, with Yang Zhengshan's mastery of formations, he should have been unable to detect the formation hidden by Mo Xuanyu.

However, Yang Zhengshan's skill in array formations was lacking, but his spiritual awareness far surpassed that of ordinary Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Let alone the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, even in the late-Foundation Establishment stage, few can compare with him in terms of spiritual awareness.

Under spiritual awareness, everything is meticulous and every detail is revealed.

No matter how well Mo Xuanyu concealed his formation, some faint aura would still leak out.

Soon Yang Zhengshan arrived at the center of the formation, in front of a dark and spacious cave.

Although the environment of this cave is very poor, the concentration of spiritual energy here is very high. However, the spiritual energy here is mixed with blood and evil energy, so it is not suitable for normal cultivators to cultivate here.

Yang Zhengshan sensed the surrounding atmosphere and simultaneously probed the cave with his spiritual sense.

The cave was deeper than expected, and the cave walls were smooth and flat, which must have been dug by Mo Xuanyu using magic.

After passing through the dark passageway, Yang Zhengshan quietly arrived at a bright cave chamber.

Mo Xuanyu has no interest in digging caves in the mountains. When he was in Black Mountain Ridge, he dug a large area of ​​caves at the foot of the mountain. When he was in Lotus Heart Valley, he dug caves at the foot of the mountain in the same way. He is still doing the same thing now.

The cave was quite spacious, about seven or eight zhang wide and one zhang high, and there was also a small blood pool inside.

Thick blood plasma filled the blood pool, and a sinister ghostly aura surged within it.

Mo Xuanyu sat cross-legged on the stone platform in the center of the blood pool.

Mo Xuanyu probably didn't expect someone to sneak up here so quietly, so he was very focused on his cultivation. His body was surrounded by layers of scarlet blood energy, and if you looked closely, you would find that the blood energy was constantly seeping into his body.

This is a unique technique of the Blood Pool Deacon of the Yin Ghost Division, called the Three Blood Fiend Techniques, namely the three techniques of body refinement, qi refinement, and spirit refinement.

Although the techniques of the Impermanent Ghost Sect are wicked, their rank is extremely high.

Take the Blood Fiend Three Techniques as an example; the Refining Spirit Technique is not much worse than the Void Refining Scripture.

The reason why "Dongxu Refining the Divine Path" is so powerful is because it benefits from the cave heaven. Without the help of the cave heaven, "Dongxu Refining the Divine Path" would not be as good as a very low-level spirit refining technique.

In this world, grotto-heavens are extremely rare. Apart from a few major powers, ordinary smaller powers simply cannot come into contact with them.

Therefore, if this "Dongxu Refining Nerve" were in the hands of others, it would be a useless skill.

In Yang Zhengshan's hands, however, it would be a divine martial arts manual.

Seeing Mo Xuanyu cultivating, Yang Zhengshan smiled faintly.

This is a golden opportunity!
In a flash, he appeared on the stone platform in the center of the blood pool, but he immediately realized something was wrong.

The dense aura of bloodlust seemed to have found an outlet, surging wildly into his body.

This bloodthirsty aura was a great tonic for Mo Xuanyu, but for Yang Zhengshan, it was more poisonous than poison.

If the bloodthirsty energy is allowed to taint his body, it will cause him considerable harm.

"As expected, one shouldn't be too reckless in actions; I was indeed a bit reckless!"

A thought popped into Yang Zhengshan's mind.

In fact, he had been very cautious. He had long been aware of Mo Xuanyu's situation, knew about Mo Xuanyu's cultivation techniques, his expertise in formations, and his mastery of various evil arts. He had also made some preparations, but he still fell into Mo Xuanyu's trap.

Just as Yang Zhengshan's figure appeared on the stone platform, Mo Xuanyu suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of scarlet pupils.

"Hmph, where did this little rat come from, daring to sneak into my dojo!"

He suddenly turned his head to look at Yang Zhengshan, and at the same time, a layer of blood-red armor appeared on his body. This was naturally not ordinary armor, but a barrier similar to a protective spell.

Yang Zhengshan met his eyes, and a strange look appeared in Mo Xuanyu's eyes. "It's you!"

"Oh! You know me?" Yang Zhengshan asked in surprise.

At this moment, the two were only two feet apart. He could reach out and touch Mo Xuanyu, but Mo Xuanyu was prepared, which turned his sneak attack into a face-to-face confrontation.

"Yang Zhengshan of the Lingxiu Yang family, hehe, you do have some good fortune." Mo Xuanyu sneered.

He knew Yang Zhengshan, after all, Yang Zhengshan was quite famous in the Lingxiu Sea.

However, he didn't know at the moment that Yang Zhengshan had actually met him before, at the Beijing Normal University's home. But at that time, Yang Zhengshan was masked and concealed his presence, so he hadn't recognized him yet, but he would probably realize it soon.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to know me. It's truly an honor for me!" Yang Zhengshan chuckled.

A cold glint flashed in Mo Xuanyu's eyes, and he suddenly opened his mouth, exhaling a breath of bloodthirsty energy.

Thick, bloody energy, like a glob of phlegm, rushed straight at Yang Zhengshan's face.

"Damn, how disgusting!"

Yang Zhengshan cursed angrily and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

At the same time, blue lightning burst forth around his body.

Lightning flashed and leaped around Yang Zhengshan's body.

This is the Divine Lightning of Wood. Although it is only a very weak flash of lightning, it has a very good restraining effect on the Blood Fiend Qi, allowing Yang Zhengshan to be protected from the Blood Fiend Qi's corruption.

“It’s you!” Mo Xuanyu said again.

"Oh! It's me!" Yang Zhengshan said with a faint smile.

The murderous glint in Mo Xuanyu's eyes intensified; Yang Zhengshan's evasive maneuver just now reminded him of all the unpleasant memories.

The defeat of the Beijing Normal University family, and his forced withdrawal from the Black Mountain Ridge of the Sea of ​​Spiritual Beauty.

This was all caused by Yang Zhengshan.

He had previously investigated who had sabotaged his plans at Beijing Normal University, but unfortunately, he couldn't find out.

Seeing Yang Zhengshan use the same trick, he immediately thought of the night he attacked the Beijing Normal University.

That night was a disgrace for him. He was completely outmaneuvered by Yang Zhengshan, not only gaining no advantage but also suffering heavy losses. In the end, he even had to abandon the Black Mountain Ridge base.

At this moment, Mo Xuanyu was filled with anger and resentment, and he wished he could tear Yang Zhengshan to pieces.

If it weren't for Yang Zhengshan's meddling, he wouldn't know he'd ended up in this situation.

Actually, he was a bit too early to be angry. He would probably be even angrier after he saw Xuanzhen.

"Die!" Mo Xuanyu roared in fury, immediately taking out the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner. Instantly, thousands of ghosts surged out, and a chilling wind swept through the entire cave.

A flash of azure lightning appeared in Yang Zhengshan's eyes, and he opened his mouth and spat out an Azure Lightning Pearl.

As soon as the Azure Thunder Pearl appeared, it transformed into a lightning barrier covering an area of ​​about an acre, filling the spacious cave.

The first few dozen blue-faced demons that rushed at them crumbled upon contact. Their bodies, wreathed in eerie flames, hissed and emitted white smoke amidst the lightning, and their shrieks abruptly ceased like snapped strings.

Mo Xuanyu's pupils shrank suddenly. These ghosts were all fierce souls that he had nurtured with the blood and flesh of living people for three years. At this moment, under the power of the Thunder Pearl, they were like boiling water poured on snow. Even the banner of the Ten Thousand Ghosts was covered with scorched black patterns.

"Thunder magic, humph."

A low, hoarse roar escaped his throat, and his fingertips formed a mysterious hand seal. The banner suddenly expanded several feet, and twelve armored ghost generals emerged from the bloody black ghost mist.

Ghost generals are at the same level as Foundation Establishment cultivators, and true ghost generals are even more troublesome than Foundation Establishment cultivators. Moreover, Mo Xuanyu's ghost generals are even more powerful than ordinary ghost generals.

The armor still bore the lingering blood curse, and when the sword was raised, it produced a shrill whistling sound that tore through space.

The twelve ghost generals are equivalent to the twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Yang Zhengshan naturally wouldn't confront him head-on; he flashed back to behind Mo Xuanyu.

Mo Xuanyu already knew that Yang Zhengshan was skilled in teleportation techniques, so he was naturally prepared. The moment Yang Zhengshan disappeared, he suddenly unleashed a chilling Soul-Shattering Cone behind him.

However, he still underestimated Yang Zhengshan. This time, Yang Zhengshan was not going to provoke Mo Xuanyu.

There are two ways to bring people into the Spirit Source Land. One is that Yang Zhengshan makes contact and forcibly drags the person into the Spirit Source Land. The second is to use the cave portal.

Yang Zhengshan could control the portal to the grotto-heaven, but the portal had no offensive power, so he had never used it against an enemy.

This time, he wanted to forcibly pull Mo Xuanyu into the Spirit Source Land. Since he couldn't touch Mo Xuanyu, the Cave Heaven Gate unintentionally became the best means.

The portal to the grotto-heaven grew to eight feet tall, standing like a mirror in front of Yang Zhengshan. Mo Xuanyu's Soul-Breaking Cone shot directly through the portal into the Spirit Source Land.

At the same time, under Yang Zhengshan's control, the portal to the cave suddenly pressed forward, directly covering Mo Xuanyu's head.

Mo Xuanyu was shocked. Although he didn't know what it was, he was certain it was not a good thing.

It was naturally not a good thing for him; Yang Zhengshan wouldn't give him anything good.

Faced with the approaching portal to the grotto-heaven, Mo Xuanyu wanted to dodge, but things happened too suddenly, and he didn't even have time to react before the portal sent him into the Spirit Source Land.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the vanished Mo Xuanyu, then at the Wan Gui Banner which had lost its magical support, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

He then retrieved the portal to his grotto, left behind a jade token, and flashed back to the Spirit Source Land.

Now is not the time to clean up the battlefield; he still needs to work with Xuanzhen to completely eliminate Mo Xuanyu.

……

The northern part of the Land of Spiritual Origin.

Nestled among the mountains, Xuanzhen, bathed in golden light, wore a golden crown, a Taoist robe, and held the Seven Star Sword, waiting solemnly.

Xuanzhen at this time was very different from before. In the past, this guy always seemed unreliable. Although he was dressed neatly, he acted in a carefree and absurd manner.

Now, he had a solemn expression, exuding a chilling aura, and his eyes were warily scanning his surroundings.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared within three zhang in front of him.

After seeing the figure clearly, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"Mo Xuanyu, haha, prepare to die!"

The next moment, he began chanting a divine incantation, and the magic sword in his hand suddenly slashed towards Mo Xuanyu.

Mo Xuanyu reacted quickly. Although he didn't know what was going on, he still raised a shield to meet Xuanzhen's magic sword.

The golden magic sword stood on an unknown shield, and instantly, the shield cracked and shattered into fragments.

However, this obstruction allowed Mo Xuanyu to recover. He flew back more than ten feet and locked his spiritual sense onto Xuanzhen.

"Xuanzhen, it's you!"

When he recognized Xuanzhen, he was completely devastated.

He had always believed that Xuanzhen was dead and that the Yin Sha Blood Sha Formation had been destroyed. As his Yin soldier, Xuanzhen should have fought to the death to protect the formation and the blood pool.

Logically speaking, Xuanzhen should not have been able to escape, so it was always believed that Xuanzhen was buried with the Yin Sha Blood Sha Formation and the Ten Thousand Ghosts Blood Pool.

But today he actually saw Xuanzhen again!
With his mind racing, Mo Xuanyu quickly figured out the key to the matter.

They colluded with outsiders to sabotage the grand formation and destroy the blood pool!
He used to wonder why his Yin Sha Blood Sha Formation could be so easily broken, but now he finally understands.

After figuring it out, his anger surged, and resentment surged like a raging river, relentlessly assaulting his reason.

It's you! It's all because of you!

He roared and howled, glaring menacingly at Xuanzhen.

It's all because of Xuanzhen.

Because of Xuanzhen's inside man, Yang Zhengshan easily learned that Mo Xuanyu was planning to attack the Beishi family, thus stopping Mo Xuanyu.

Then Yang Zhengshan exposed the information provided by Xuanzhen to the Lingxiu Three Sects, forcing Xuanzhen to abandon Black Mountain Ridge and move to Lotus Heart Valley.

Finally, taking advantage of Mo Xuanyu's absence, the two completely destroyed Mo Xuanyu's Yin Sha Blood Sha Formation and Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Pool, and took away the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Jade.

However, Mo Xuanyu became all alone, and even the Wuchang Ghost Sect dared not return.

It's all because of Xuanzhen!
Mo Xuanyu hated Xuanzhen to the extreme at this moment, wishing he could drink his blood, eat his flesh, and refine his soul.

"You deserve to die!"

His face was contorted with rage, his eyes blazing with fury, and his body surging with blood energy. He suddenly unleashed the Soul-Suppressing Lamp and hurled it at Xuanzhen.

The Soul-Suppressing Lamp, as its name suggests, has the function of suppressing souls.

Once struck by the Soul-Suppressing Lamp, one's soul will inevitably be damaged.

This thing, like the Soul-Breaking Cone, is a magical artifact that targets spirits and ghosts.

However, Xuanzhen remained unfazed, and with his magic sword enveloped in golden light, he slashed down at the Soul-Suppressing Lamp.

In terms of the quality and quantity of magical artifacts, Xuanzhen was far inferior to Mo Xuanyu.

In terms of cultivation, Xuanzhen is also inferior to Mo Xuanyu. Although Mo Xuanyu is only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, his magical power is far superior to Xuanzhen's.

However, the Golden Light Mantra can make up for Xuanzhen's lack of magical treasures, giving his magic sword the power to clash with the Soul-Suppressing Lamp.

With a clang, the Soul-Suppressing Lamp and the magic weapon collided, and a wave of magical power spread out, causing ripples to rise from Xuanzhen's golden light.

However, the Soul-Suppressing Lamp was repelled by him and returned to Mo Xuanyu's side.
