Family Rise: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 233: The Power of Purple Mansion, the Third-Order Insect Mother, and the Fierce Battle
Chief Cui shook his head.

After several contacts with the newly appointed Palace Master Xu, he discovered that the other party was vaguely displeased with their Cui family. He pondered over it but could not find the reason.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly impossible for the Cui family to find out useful information from the Zhenshi Division, so they said:

"Patriarch Fu has always been on good terms with the people of the Zhenshi Division. We'll know once he comes over and asks."

While talking.

A rainbow light fell outside the cave.

It was Fu Changsheng.

Fu Changsheng bowed and said:

"I'm sorry everyone, some family affairs have delayed me for a moment."

An insect swarm breaks out.

Every noble family was in a state of panic, so everyone understood and didn’t say much.

Patriarch He originally wanted to ask the Fu family if they had found out any news. At this time, spiritual lights surged one after another outside the cave. Elder Shi and Patriarch Nangong arrived one after another, and the last to arrive were Patriarch Gongsun and Shangguan Feng.

Patriarch Gongsun glanced at Shangguan Feng and quickly looked away.

Seven foundation-building cultivators of the Gongsun family died at the hands of the Shangguan family and the Fu family. This was an irreconcilable feud. But now the Shangguan family is in its heyday, and Shangguan Feng and his daughter have successively stepped into the Half-Step Purple Mansion. However, their Gongsun family has been on a downward slope. They can only keep this hatred silently in their hearts, and dare not even show the slightest hostility.

After everyone has arrived.

The ninth-rank families under the rule of the eighth-rank families all stood together.

Shangguan Feng's consciousness swept across Fu Changsheng and he was stunned for a moment:
"Changsheng, why are you still at the eighth level of foundation building?"

The information he received.

Fu Changsheng had been in seclusion for seven years, and he thought the other party was trying to break through to the ninth level of foundation building.

Retreat for seven years.

Fu Changsheng had used all his time to practice "Dayan Jue" and refine his puppet clone. When asked by Shangguan Feng, he felt a little embarrassed.

Shangguan Feng couldn't help but give a few instructions when he saw this:

"I told you before that you need to lay a solid foundation, but I didn't mean that you should rest on your laurels and live forever. No matter whether you are practicing secret arts or cultivating the hundred arts, remember one thing: your own cultivation should come first."

Shangguan Feng obviously treated Fu Changsheng as his own nephew.

Fu Changsheng responded.

but.

He had already planned the next stage of his cultivation. First, he would break through to the peak of foundation building, then refine the star coffin, and practice "Nine Heavenly Star Art" to the flesh refining stage to lay a solid foundation for opening up the two dantians. Secondly, he would take the Soul Nourishing Pill to repair the split consciousness and reach the stage of awakening the soul.

Now Mei Zhen has broken through to become a second-class superior alchemist.

It shouldn't be difficult to refine the Soul-Nourishing Pill.

When the two are talking.

Patriarch Lin stood aside.

But he was so seriously injured that he couldn't say a word. Now the Lin family has been sidelined by the Shangguan family. Last time, he wanted to win a foundation-building pill at the auction of the Wanning Chamber of Commerce, but he missed it in the end.

If he dies here today.

I'm afraid the Lin family is completely finished.

Therefore, Patriarch Lin was somewhat uneasy and had no intention of paying attention to Shangguan Feng and the others. He couldn't understand why the Lin family had come to its current situation when he had been walking on thin ice for most of his life.

Everyone chatted for a while.

Fu Changsheng's body suddenly shook.

Turning his head, he looked outside the cave.

Outside the cave.

A powerful pressure was approaching rapidly, which was much stronger than Shangguan Feng's. It was obvious that the one coming this time was a master cultivator from Zifu.

Everyone looked at each other.

Not only was there no trace of joy on his face.

Instead, he became even more worried.

The fact that Zifu Daxiu had to take action personally meant that the danger of their operation had greatly increased.

hum!
The light curtain of the formation surged.

Palace Master Xu walked in first, and she stood aside, giving up the middle seat.

Fu Changsheng looked out curiously.

The person who came was Cao Xianger, who was promoted to the pacification envoy.

She was wearing a lavender dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind, like a purple lotus blooming in the clouds. Her face was exquisite and her fair skin was like mutton-fat jade.

Fu Changsheng glanced at them, then immediately lowered his eyes and saluted with everyone else:

"Meet the pacification envoy"

Cao Xianger waved her sleeves.

A throne fell into the cave, and after sitting down, he said directly:
"Five days ago, the Imperial Court's Ten Thousand Demons Division passed on the results of the Taiji locust research to me. The reason why this Taiji locust tide is so difficult to deal with is because there is a worm mother behind the scenes controlling it. The worm mother is a third-order cultivator, equivalent to the Purple Mansion Stage. The life system of this Taiji locust is extremely special. Once the worm mother dies, the rest of the Taiji locusts, whether they are first-order insect soldiers or second-order insect generals, will die instantly."

After hearing this, everyone was shocked.

They thought that this insect swarm had not yet produced an insect king.

Never thought about it.

All this was caused by the third-level insect queen.

Cao Xianger's eyes were firm:
"I will go alone to deal with the Insect Mother. You will set up a magic circle outside to prevent those second-level insect generals from coming to support the Insect Mother. As long as I can successfully kill the Insect Mother, this disaster can be averted."

Just deal with the second-level insect general.

The others breathed a sigh of relief.

then.

Palace Master Xu took a step forward and slapped his storage bag. A flash of light appeared and a battle formation diagram suddenly floated out:

"This is a spiritual insect-control array specially developed by the court to deal with the Taiji locust tide. I will be in charge of the center, and the four eighth-grade families will lead their ninth-grade families to guard the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northeast. This array is based on the principle of the mutual generation of the five elements, and is forged with Taiyue stone and Qingcang wood. The corresponding restrictions are engraved inside and outside. You should familiarize yourself with them first, and we will set off tomorrow morning."

This statement came out.

Patriarch Nangong looked a little troubled, and after hesitating for a moment, he still spoke:

"Palace Master Xu, you see, the Shi family has three combat forces to assist us, but our Nangong family only has one. Can you dispatch one from the Shi family? If so, will there be three combat forces guarding the four positions of the formation? Wouldn't that be safer?"

Palace Master Xu said calmly:

"Don't worry, the Spirit Control Insect Tide Array has the effect of circulating and regulating spiritual energy,"

At last.

Palace Master Xu also pointed out the locations where the four great eighth-rank families would be stationed.

Fu Changsheng, Patriarch Lin and Shangguan Feng were in charge of the north, which was the attack area of ​​the Lingyu Insect Tide Formation. It was obviously divided according to Shangguan Feng's half-step purple mansion combat power.

On the north side are engraved the Fire Spirit Amplification Array and the Spirit Barrier Array.

The latter has the function of confusing and blocking the locusts' spiritual detection, making it difficult for them to accurately find the weak points of the magic circle.

Chief Lin had very little fighting power and was assigned to the attack area, which made him a little uneasy.

Shangguan Feng saw this and said:
"Patriarch Lin, you only need to maintain the energy supply of the Fire Spirit Amplification Array and the Spirit Barrier Array."

Patriarch Lin heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Everyone studied and practiced it overnight.

The next day.

It's just dawn.

Everyone boarded the treasure ship of the Zhenshisi and flew to the Shiwan Mountains.

When passing by Feilong Market.

The originally green and lush area of ​​Fangshi is now barren. After the insect swarm broke out, the Fu, Shangguan and Shi families, who were the masters of Fangshi, withdrew their clansmen.

Feilong Market is right at the exit of Shiwandashan Mountains.

The three families were so busy protecting their clan mountain that they had no time to spare, so this market town was naturally abandoned.

After flying over Feilong Market.

Fu Changsheng took a closer look.

But the 100,000 mountains in the distance were still green, with towering trees everywhere:

"This Taiji locust tide didn't enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"

What exactly is going on?

Ordinarily.

The Shiwandashan Mountains have a greater supply of resources.

Between the electric light and flint.

Fu Changsheng thought of a possibility:
"Could it be that this insect tide is really controlled by the Wanling Sect in the West?"

If so.

That's when the next beast tide breaks out.

The pressure they face will undoubtedly increase greatly.

The treasure ship finally docked at the Wangqiu Basin not far from the entrance of the Shiwanda Mountains. The soil in the basin was a peculiar dark red color.

Nearly a hundred second-order insect generals were flying and hovering over the basin.

The moment the treasure ship stopped.

Cao Xianger rushed out of the cabin:

"Palace Master Xu, I will deal with these second-level insects. You lead the noble families to set up the Spirit Control Insect Tide Formation as quickly as possible."

Finished.

Cao Xiang'er's figure was suspended in the air.
The insects that were originally hovering above the basin immediately heard the news and moved, with a buzzing sound, swarming towards Cao Xiang'er from all directions.

There was no trace of emotion on Cao Xiang'er's face.

I just saw her making some magic gestures.

The magic power is guided along specific meridians to the Laogong acupoints on both hands and released outwards in a spiral manner. Countless green wooden spirit blades instantly condense in the surrounding space.

These spiritual blades are emerald green in color, emitting a rich wood-attributed spiritual light. They are shaped like willow leaves, but their edges are extremely sharp, even giving people a feeling that they can cut through space.

Accompanied by a low moan from her mouth.

Hundreds of green wood wind blades whizzed out with a humming sound, and rushed towards the second-order insect generals that were charging over at an extremely fast speed. Wherever the wind blades passed, the second-order insect generals were instantly separated from their heads and bodies, and fell to the ground one after another like dumplings in a pot.

Fu Changsheng's pupils shrank when he saw this scene.

For ordinary foundation-building monks, it is difficult to face a second-order insect general alone. Because the spiritual strength and attack methods of foundation-building monks are relatively limited, it is difficult to break through the defensive shell of the mutated second-order insect general. Moreover, the attack speed of the second-order insect general is fast and the attack methods are diverse.

But Cao Xianger made a move.

Then he killed nearly a hundred second-order insect generals.

The magic performed is undoubtedly spiritual magic!
Generally speaking, spiritual arts can only be mastered by those who have reached the great purple mansion level, and they are hard to come by. There are even fewer who can cause large-scale damage like Cao Xianger's.

There was a flash of heat in Fu Changsheng's eyes.

He currently has a spiritual technique called Mist and Phantom, but he doesn't know how powerful it will be after practicing it successfully. After Cao Xiang'er killed the insect generals hovering in the basin, she immediately leaned over and rushed into the ground and disappeared.

A successful start.

Fu Changsheng thought he could successfully complete the task today.

A rapid and rhythmic "buzzing" sound came from my ears. At first, it was a low roar, like thunder from afar. As the locust tide approached, the sound gradually became sharp and piercing, like countless needles piercing the eardrum at the same time.

Look back.

But the Taiji locust tide was like a black cloud covering the sky and the sun, rolling in. The edge of the cloud was blurred because there were so many locusts that it was impossible to distinguish the individuals. All you could see was a large area of ​​surging darkness, like a huge, living stain in the sky, spreading towards the earth.

"Oops!"

Obviously.

This is the signal sent by the insect queen.

Let the insect tide come back for help.

Fu Changsheng quickly accelerated the movement of his fingers, and five rumbling sounds were heard. When the insect swarm arrived, there was a bang. Five beams of light of different colors shot up into the sky, and then turned into a five-color light shield that fell upside down.

Buzz!
at this time.

The insect swarm is approaching.

Fu Changsheng took a glance.

They discovered that in the attack area to the north of them, there were as many as a hundred second-order insect generals lurking. Upon closer inspection, they saw that Tai Chi runes were clearly engraved on the wings of these second-order insect generals.

As the runes light up.

The first-level Tai Chi locust made a buzzing sound.

They actually gathered together and then formed a spear.

The spear flew into the air.

It stabbed towards the light shield with tremendous power.

Shangguan Feng had an idea.

The Zixiao Sword whizzed out.

The Purple Sky Sword was about three feet long, with a purple blade that emitted a purple glow. The entire sword was like the condensation of the Purple Sky Qi, and a purple crystal was inlaid on the hilt, making it look mysterious and majestic.

Accompanied by the chanting of magic spells.

The Zixiao Sword suddenly grew larger.

Ding!
The Zixiao sword and the spear collided with each other.

A sting.

The Zixiao sword, which could cut through iron like mud, easily cut the spear in half.

hum!
The first-level Tai Chi locusts dispersed.

Fu Changsheng immediately activated the magic circle, and with a bang, a raging flame poured out and instantly submerged the Tai Chi locusts.

Upon seeing this, the hundred second-order insect generals immediately gathered together with a buzzing sound and transformed into a gigantic Tai Chi locust. The aura emanating from their bodies had surprisingly reached the quasi-third-order.

A solemn look flashed across Shangguan Feng's eyes.

A little purple sword.

But the Zixiao sword spun around, and instantly one split into two, two into four, and four into eight, becoming twelve swords in an instant, condensing into a Taiyi sword formation in the air.

As he injected one spell after another into the sword formation.

Purple light flashes.

Streams of sword energy whizzed out from the formation.

The Tai Chi locust waved its claws.

The sound of ding ding ding was heard.

The sword energy was blocked alone.

The Tai Chi locust has approached the center of the formation.

at this time.

A brilliant golden light appeared where its compound eyes were.

Fu Changsheng's heart trembled.

Shangguan Feng's cultivation of half a step into the Purple Mansion was unable to do anything to the Tai Chi Locust, who was at the quasi-third level. He did not dare to hold back any longer and immediately activated the "Nine Turns of Rising Sun".

hum!
Three streams of purple air whizzed out from the body.

It shot towards the compound eyes of the Taiji locust at an extremely fast speed.

Ding Ding Ding!
The Tai Chi Locust waved its claws, but unexpectedly, this time its claws were cut off at the root, and the speed of the three purple auras did not slow down. Seeing this, the Tai Chi Locust could only interrupt the spell and close its compound eyes.

hum!
Three rays of purple light shot onto its compound eyes.

The eyelids of the compound eyes glowed with brilliant golden light, but it was unable to break the opponent's defense.

The quasi-third-level Tai Chi locust is so tricky.

Fu Changsheng couldn't help but worry whether Cao Xianger could deal with the third-level insect mother.

"Yah"

The Tai Chi locust was frustrated.

A sharp scream came out of his mouth.

The whistling sound turned into rolling sound waves that hit the light curtain of the formation.

The light curtain began to vibrate violently.

at the same time.

Shangguan Feng pointed at the Taiyi Sword Formation, and with a humming sound, twelve Zixiao swords came whistling and instantly trapped the Taiji locusts.

Fu Changsheng immediately activated the "Ancient Source Thunder Scripture".

Rumble!
Three divine thunders that ward off evil struck the Tai Chi locust with lightning speed.

There was a crackling sound.

There was a bang.

The huge Tai Chi locust dispersed again and turned into a second-level insect general.

Shangguan Feng snorted coldly, and without saying a word, he immediately used all his strength to activate the Taiyi Sword Formation. He saw purple air everywhere, and the second-level insect generals were strangled into pieces of meat paste and fell down.

The first wave of attacks was barely resisted.

hum!
The swarm of insects that were originally swarming towards the north in the distance suddenly changed direction, avoiding the north and rushing towards the west which was under the charge of Patriarch Gongsun and the Liang family.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Feng and Fu Changsheng immediately sat down to meditate and rest.

at this time.

The insect swarm that was also frustrated in the southeast direction quickly abandoned the other two directions and gathered in the west.

Buzz!
In the middle of the west.

In a flash, five quasi-third-level insect generals were formed:
"Oops!"

Shangguan Feng saw this and immediately said:
"Changsheng, you stay here, I'll go and provide support."

Once the west is breached.

Then the spiritual insect tide formation would be destroyed, and their plan today would probably be ruined.

Finished.

Shangguan Feng went straight to the west to meet up at an extremely fast speed.

at the same time.

The Eighth-Rank Family's Great Elder Shi and Clan Leader Nangong from the southeast also turned to the west and joined hands to resist the attack of the five quasi-third-rank insect generals.

Rumble!
But I saw magic spells, magic tools and talismans flying together.

Huge mushroom clouds rose into the sky.

Fu Changsheng glanced to the west, and from time to time he looked back at the situation under the basin. He heard a constant rumbling sound from the ground. It was obvious that the battle between Cao Xiang'er and the Insect Mother was evenly matched for a while:

"Go on, I'm afraid."

Fu Changsheng was thinking about how to deal with the situation.

Suddenly his body shook.

But I saw it under the basin.

The sound of bang bang bang continued to ring,

Then a steady stream of second-order insects will rise into the sky:

"This is."

Fu Changsheng was shocked when he saw that the number of second-level insect generals had reached nearly a hundred in a blink of an eye.

At this moment.

They were undoubtedly attacked by the insect swarm both inside and outside.

I'm afraid.

Today they are not here to hunt the Insect Queen, but the Insect Queen has been waiting for them, waiting for them to surrender!

crucial moment.

Palace Master Xu, with a solemn expression, offered up the Nine-Python Jade Bracelet.

The Nine Python Jade Bracelet is inlaid with nine pieces of the finest divine python jade, each piece of jade is engraved with ancient runes, and the bracelet as a whole presents a mysterious purple light. The shape of the bracelet presents a pattern surrounded by nine divine pythons, and each dragon is lifelike and vivid, exuding a powerful aura.

As Palace Master Xu chanted his spell.

Roars came from the Nine Python Jade Bracelet. Then nine giant pythons appeared and formed a formation, trapping the second-level insects that sprang out from the ground.

just.

These second-level insect generals that sprang out from the ground had bloodshot eyes, as if some forbidden technique had been broken, and they fearlessly slammed into the nine-headed python's light shield.

There are even quite a few already.

He wanted to break the nine-headed giant python formation by self-destruction.

Once broken.

Then the pressure they will face will increase suddenly.

Fu Changsheng said quickly:

"Patriarch Lin, you guard the magic circle."

Without any hesitation, he immediately activated the "Ancient Source Thunder Sutra". Thunderous sounds suddenly rang out in the sky above the nine-headed giant python formation, and three evil-repelling divine thunders fell at an extremely fast speed on the three second-order insect generals that were on the verge of self-destruction.

Bang bang bang!
The second-order insect general that was hit by the evil-repelling divine thunder would instantly turn into a piece of charcoal and fall to the ground.

but.

His divine thunder to ward off evil is limited, but this second-order insect general’s is seemingly endless.

　I caught a cold and changed to a Chinese doctor. I slept well last night and my headache isn't as painful anymore. I feel better now. I got up and wrote a chapter. Sorry for not updating for a day.
