Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 981 You forced me to do this!
"Master Yang! What should we do with these two?"

Kota grabbed Lin Daoyuan and Yue'e with his huge arms and asked.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the two ice coffins left by Duan Qiankun, put them inside, and then threw them into his storage bag.

The two are still alive, and if we leave them alone, they certainly won't survive here.

To be a good Samaritan, I decided to put them in an ice coffin first and deal with the rest of the way after I took them out.

The chaotic battle around them continued, with spells flying in from time to time. Hong Fuxiu kept deflecting the incoming attacks.

Yang Zhengshan paused only briefly before continuing to fly towards the battlefield above.

At this point, Zhang Mo had already taken control of the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill, but it would take him some time to completely suppress it.

In the dark sky, Zhang Mo was surging with immense magical power, struggling to suppress the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill in front of him.

Enveloped in dark magical power, the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill emitted a soft, seven-colored radiance and vibrated violently.

It was like an angry little beast, roaring and struggling. It was very strong, but it had no hard teeth or sharp claws, so it could only struggle with brute force.

Looking at the divine pill so close to her, Zhang Mo's eyes were filled with undisguised joy.

He was unaware that the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill was here, and even now he doesn't know what its effects are, but that doesn't diminish his determination to seize it.

As the divine pill's struggles grew weaker and weaker, Zhang Mo felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.

Around him, Yang Shenwu and Zhang Xianzheng, along with a dozen or so Yin soldiers, were blocking Yun Ge, Yun Xiao, Tian Ye Lao Gui, a poisonous viper, and a sand nightmarish beast.

Both the Venomous Fang Viper and the Sand Nightmare Beast are demon races in the Wanhua Mountains. The Venomous Fang Viper, as the name suggests, is a type of viper. Its scales are emerald green with fluorescent patterns. It has three pairs of venomous fangs on each of its upper and lower jaws. After transforming into human form, it retains the appearance of a human body with a snake tail.

The Sand Nightmare resembles a hairless hyena, its skin covered in sand-like keratinous scales, and its pupils are vertical slits that reflect the luster of fine sand crystals. It is adept at controlling sand and stones and blowing yellow winds.

The yellow wind blown by the Sand Nightmare Beast has the effect of blinding spiritual senses, and it covers a wide area. Once surrounded by the yellow wind blown by them, cultivators will become blind and can only be humiliated at their will.

After the Sand Nightmare Beast transforms, it becomes slightly smaller, looking almost like a dwarf, and a bald dwarf at that, making it extremely ugly.

At this moment, Yun Ge, Yun Xiao, Tian Ye Lao Gui, Du Ya Viper, and Sha Yan Beast attacked Zhang Mo together. Ghostly energy, poisonous gas, and yellow wind mixed together and swept towards Zhang Mo, but were blocked by Yang Shenwu, Zhang Xian, and other Yin soldiers ten zhang away from Zhang Mo.

Seeing that Zhang Mo had gradually suppressed the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill, the five people's attacks became more and more urgent.

"You little brats, why aren't you putting in more effort? Do you want to see the divine pill fall into the hands of this wretched creature!"

Tianye the Old Ghost got impatient, cursing as he threw his spear.

The spear was entirely black, with a single, never-drying drop of blood clinging to its tip. Three rings of soul chains wound around the spear, each strung with nine skulls, and each skull's eye burned with a ghostly blue flame.

After being thrown, it transformed into a black rainbow, causing ripples in the space it passed through. As it approached Yang Shenwu, the blood droplet on the spear tip suddenly exploded, splattering out a large amount of black blood that corroded the true essence shield on Yang Shenwu's body.

At the same time, the skeletons on the soul chain spewed out ghostly blue flames, forcing Yang Shenwu to retreat repeatedly.

However, Yang Shenwu was, after all, a veteran Divine Soul Realm martial artist, not much worse than Lin Daoyuan in the past. With a flick of his sleeve, his true essence transformed into a rainbow, blocking not only the black blood and the ghostly blue fire, but also the sword energy of the clouds.

The five of them joined forces but were unable to subdue these Yin soldiers for a time, and could only watch as Zhang Mo slowly suppressed the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill.

Just then, Yang Zhengshan and his two companions arrived, but before Yang Zhengshan could join the battle, a phantom of light suddenly appeared in the sky.

Faintly, a huge vortex appeared in the air, and seven burning meteorites emerged from the vortex.

"The Big Dipper, with the Heavenly Pivot as its guide! Stars fall like rain, and the Heavenly Power determines destiny!"

As the chanting began, seven meteorites locked onto Zhang Mo. Zhang Mo, who was initially overjoyed at the prospect of suppressing the divine pill, instantly turned extremely pale.

"The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion dares to do this! They're courting death!"

Zhang Mo angrily cursed.

He recognized it at a glance as the Starfall Technique of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, and it was even the Big Dipper Alignment Technique within the Starfall Technique.

Once this technique is used, seven meteorites will lock onto the target, and no matter how the target tries to dodge, they cannot escape and can only withstand the attack of the seven meteorites. Moreover, if others help, the power of this technique will only become greater.

This is ordained by Heaven, it is destiny!

Seeing the meteorite about to fall from the sky, Zhang Mo could no longer care about the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill and could only use his magic weapon to cast defensive spells to resist it.

The Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill then shot up in a flash, attempting to escape once more.

But the next moment, a star trail fell from the sky and enveloped the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill.

"Using the stars as a guide, I can change the heavens and alter my destiny; fate is in my hands!"

The figure of Zangji Zhenren appeared in the air, surrounded by six Tianji Shi.

"Quickly interrupt his star orbit, we can't let him change the course of fate!" Zhang Mo shouted urgently.

The next moment, Yang Shenwu, Yun Ge and the others, who were still engaged in fierce fighting, immediately changed their attack direction and rushed towards Zangji Zhenren in the sky.

"Yun Ge! I am here, how dare you make a move?" Zangji Zhenren said in a deep voice.

The flying boat paused slightly.

He wanted the divine pill, but he couldn't afford to offend the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

Master Zangji had lived in Baiyun Immortal City for decades, so Yun Ge naturally understood his temperament.

In his eyes, Zangji Zhenren was a petty and vindictive person. If you didn't provoke him, you would be fine, but once you did, you would inevitably suffer endless revenge from him.

The key is that he is skilled in fortune telling and likes to use underhanded tricks and schemes against people in secret. If he wants to scheme against someone, it is difficult for ordinary people to resist.

Yun Ge's expression was grim and uncertain; he was already starting to have second thoughts.

Although he was still extremely indignant, he understood that it was basically impossible for him to obtain the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill today.

Even if he could obtain the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill, he wouldn't be able to keep it.

Yun Ge hesitated, but the others did not, and rushed towards the divine pill.

Meanwhile, the six Heavenly Secrets Envoys on Zangji Zhenren's side also stepped in to stop him.

The chaos reignited, and the situation changed once again.

Upon seeing this, Yang Zhengshan was at a loss for words.

But there's not much to say. No matter who comes today, he will fight for Yunxiao.

"Soul-Suppressing Lock!"

The jet-black chains shot out, heading straight for the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill.

With a snap, the Soul-Suppressing Lock slammed into the star track, and the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill immediately flew out.

"The elixir is mine!"

Seeing the divine pill flying towards him, Tianye Old Ghost rushed over without hesitation.

"Even wandering ghosts dare to act so presumptuously!"

One of the Heavenly Secrets Envoys of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, Master Shouyi, waved his hand, and a burst of blazing starlight slammed into Old Ghost Tianye.

"Ah~~" This blow was so solid that even Tianye Laogui's soul couldn't help but tremble.

The Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill seemed to be very afraid of the starlight of the Guardian One True Man. The moment the starlight appeared, it turned and rushed to the left.

On the left was Yang Shenwu, who tried to intercept, but the viper next to him spat out a mouthful of black venom, forcing Yang Shenwu to dodge.

Just as the Viper was about to seize the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill, another gust of wind blew by, causing the Viper to lose its focus, and the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill flew downwards again.

You block me, I block you; you grab me, I stop you—a group of people are constantly scrambling for the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill in the air, while the pill is escaping everywhere.

The situation seemed somewhat absurd.

But that's the reality.

Everyone wants the elixir, and no one wants anyone else to get it.

So everyone is stuck in a stalemate, unable to move forward.

Yang Zhengshan tried several times, but he was still unable to get close to the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill.

"Depend on!"

He was somewhat speechless; given the current situation, a major upheaval was clearly inevitable.

Continuing this stalemate will only complicate the situation further.

Thinking of this, he took out all the remaining Xuanlei Talismans.

"You forced me to do this!"

He grinned at the crowd around him and said.

The next moment, he used the Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword to pierce through all the Xuan Lei Talismans, a total of more than three hundred Xuan Lei Talismans.

This is all the inventory he has.

Decades of savings were squandered in just a few days.

At this moment, no one else was paying attention to what Yang Zhengshan was doing, and his words were drowned out by the clash of various spells.

Hong Fuxiu and Kota followed closely behind Yang Zhengshan. Their strength was somewhat weak here, and they could only serve as Yang Zhengshan's assistants.

Seeing Yang Zhengshan pull out another large stack of Xuan Lei Talismans, the two men couldn't help but tremble. They had witnessed Yang Zhengshan unleash his power with the Xuan Lei Talismans before, and they were still shaken by the scene.

The moment the Azure Lightning Sword pierced the Thunder Talisman, thousands of bolts of lightning suddenly erupted.

Yang Zhengshan raised the Purple Lightning Sword, his entire body surging with magical power. His robes billowed, his hair and beard flew, and even his eyes shone with a pure and clear spiritual light.

Not only in the eyes, but also in all seven orifices, arcs of electricity were dancing.

Magic power surged into the Azure Wood Purple Lightning Sword, and the last Azure Lightning Pearl was also injected into it.

A violent burst of divine lightning from the Purple Lightning Sword, carrying the thunder released by the Mysterious Lightning Talisman, transformed into a bluish-white pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

Boom~~
The already gloomy sky suddenly became turbulent with wind and clouds, and thunder gathered.

The stray lightning covered the surrounding area for dozens of miles, directly obscuring the meteor vortex that Hidden Master had summoned earlier. Of course, obscuring it did not make it disappear.

The dark clouds churned violently where the beam of light touched, like boiling ink, and bluish-white lightning streaked through the depths of the clouds, weaving a lightning net that covered ten miles.

The clouds suddenly dipped downwards, and a dark crack appeared in the center. Thousands of streaks of blue lightning and purple thunder snakes emerged from the crack, flicking their terrifying tongues.

Instantly, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky.

Their faces all turned extremely ugly.

Anyone could see that such power was definitely not just simple lightning magic.

"Who are you!" Master Zangji looked at Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan grinned, "Yang Zhengshan of the Lingxiu Yang Family invites your guidance!"

He didn't hide his identity because he couldn't.

All eyes turned to Yang Zhengshan, their gazes filled with hostility.

Although they were vying for it before, their goal was the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill.

But now Yang Zhengshan is treating everyone as a target, and he seems determined to kill them all.

However, they still did not give up on the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill.

While guarding against the lightning in the sky, they continued to vie for the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill.

Yang Zhengshan looked up at the thunder in the sky, a look of frustration flashing in his eyes.

Because he discovered that he had no control over such thunderclouds.

Although he cultivated the Azure Thunder Technique, he was not a traditional thunder magic cultivator.

If it were just the Yi Wood Divine Lightning, or just a few or a dozen Xuan Lightning Talismans, he could still control it.

But just now he activated more than two hundred Xuan Lei Talismans at once, and this terrifying lightning was beyond his control.

Just then, hundreds and thousands of bolts of lightning emerged like silver dragons from the abyss. Some transformed into lightning spears that struck straight down, some twisted into lightning whips that lashed out and swept across, and some even gathered into lightning balls with a diameter of ten feet, which exploded in mid-air into a rain of lightning.

In an instant, only countless thunderbolts and lightning remained in the world.

The lightning surged, and Yang Zhengshan was no longer able to control it. All he could do was try his best to prevent the lightning from striking him.

If that had hit me, it would have been a huge joke.

Fortunately, he wasn't completely without control; he could still control a small portion of the lightning.

Thunder roared, and all that could be seen was a dazzling flash of lightning, making it impossible to see anything else, even one's spiritual sense became incredibly blurred.

Yang Zhengshan tried his best to find the location of the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill, but he couldn't find it at all.

Just as he was wondering, a loud shout suddenly came from the thunder.

"Come here, you old man!"

Without a doubt, that was Yunxiao's voice.

Then came another burst of energetic shouts.

"Ah~~~~"

If Yang Zhengshan could see through the dazzling lightning at this moment, he would have seen that Yunxiao was holding the Nine Cauldrons Divine Pill in both hands, trying hard to put the pill into his mouth.

Thunder roared all around, and bolts of lightning struck Yunxiao's body.

Yunxiao's forehead veins bulged and his muscles bulged all over.

He completely abandoned his defenses, letting the lightning ravage his body. At this moment, he had only one thought: to swallow the divine pill.
