Chapter 246: Gaining another retainer, the hope of promotion to the eighth rank

Yunxiao Mountain.

In the council hall.

Patriarch Cao sat at the head of the group, looking worried:
"The spy reports back"

"A tide of beasts swarmed out from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, covering the whole sky and earth. They had already reached the Yunshan County fiefdom more than an hour ago. According to this trend, I am afraid they will reach our Yunxiao Mountain in less than half an hour. The scale of this beast tide is much larger than the previous Taiji locust tide. Do you think the Lin family's Yuan Tian Gang Formation can withstand this wave of beasts?"

Elder Cao San pondered for a moment and said;

"Master, I have already practiced the Yuan Tian Gang Formation. It is not a problem to resist the second-level monsters, as long as there is no third-level monster king."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xueyang rolled his eyes in his heart and shook his head:
"Uncle San, when the Taiji locust tide broke out, there was no third-level insect king, but our clan's mountain protection formation was broken. In my opinion, there are too many unstable factors. Before the beast tide arrives, we should run away as far as possible."

Elder Cao San was refuted.

A hint of displeasure flashed across his brows.

Coldly said:
"If a beast tide breaks out, the entire Huainan Prefecture will be affected. Where is there an absolutely safe place? Where do you think we can escape to?"

this problem.

Cao Xueyang had already thought about it.

smiled and said:
"Of course it's the Shangguan family's Tianlong City near us."

"With our flying speed, we can arrive in less than half an hour. The Shangguan family is an eighth-grade family, and Shangguan Feng and his daughter are half-step purple mansion. In addition, most of the Shangguan family's combat power is stationed in Tianlong City. In the past few years, they have also learned from the Fu family and strengthened the city walls. Isn't it much safer to enter there than for us to stay in this broken place of the Lin family?"

"and"

"With the beast tide in front of us, I believe the Shangguan family will not drive away the foundation-building combat power that is delivered to their doorstep."

Rough words are not rough.

Elder Cao San remained silent.

Obviously, he was somewhat tempted.

Cao Xuerui, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help it anymore.

He shook his head and interrupted:
"Fourth brother, have you forgotten that we are still occupying the fiefdom of a family subordinate to the Shangguan family? The Shangguan family may open the city gates to let us in, but once the beast tide passes, I'm afraid they will settle the score later."

This is just walking into a trap.

Elder Cao San blinked when he heard this. He was almost fooled by Cao Xueyang just now. After hearing Cao Xuerui's explanation, he glared at Cao Xueyang fiercely.

Signaled Cao Xuerui to continue.

Cao Xuerui said:
"also"

"If the four of us leave, what will happen to the remaining tribesmen? We can only watch them being devoured by monsters."

"We started to control the Lin family"

"The original intention was to provide a stable place for the tribe members so that they could have their own spiritual vein in the future. Now that they have left, it goes against our original intention."

Patriarch Cao nodded continuously.

Seeing that his son wanted to refute, he glared at him:
"Xiao Liu's analysis is absolutely correct. Let's follow Xiao Liu's instructions and pass on the order. We must defend Yunxiao Mountain today no matter what."

Patriarch Cao immediately stood up and walked towards the formation hall. Third Elder Cao and Cao Xuerui followed closely behind him, while Cao Xueyang sat still.

He gritted his teeth and said:
"Everyone's brain is stuck in the door. It's just a second-level spiritual vein. We can take it back later. What the hell are the people of the tribe? Can they be more important than your own life?"

Since the Shangguan family is not a good customer.

Then they headed north to the Nangong family.

Cao Xueyang kept cursing for a while, but now he had to follow.

The four of them sat cross-legged on the central platform of the Yuan Tiangang Formation, while the remaining Qi-refining cultivators of the Cao family formed teams to guard the various key points of the formation.

The entire Yunxiao Mountain was eerily quiet.

It seemed that only the sounds of each other's breathing met in the air.

"coming!"

About half an hour passed.

However, black clouds were rolling up in the sky, and a gloomy atmosphere was spreading. The beast tide was rushing in like a surging tide.

The first thing that came into view was a group of fire wolves, huge in size, with hair all over their bodies like burning flames. They opened their bloody mouths and spewed out billowing flames. The flames seemed to have life, roaring towards the mountain protection formation. Wherever they went, the air was burned and distorted.

Patriarch Cao saw this.

He clasped his hands together and muttered something.

A spell was cast on the formation platform.

Buzz!
The originally flickering runes on the array platform became brighter, and a faint golden light curtain appeared in the array light curtain.

The flames hit.

Making crackling sounds.

The light curtain is as solid as a rock.

Elder Cao San's eyes lit up with joy:
"Master, it seems that this Yuan Tian Gang Formation is more powerful than expected. We can definitely defend Yunxiao Mountain."

Previously, the tribe’s mountain was breached by a tide of Tai Chi locusts.

It's just that something unexpected happened in the formation.

For a while.

The four members of the Cao family gained confidence.

at the same time.

The attacks of the Ice Soul Black Snakes, whose bodies were covered with crystal clear scales, came one after another. They twisted their huge bodies and spit out countless sharp ice spikes from their mouths. These ice spikes continuously condensed the surrounding water vapor during the flight, becoming harder and sharper, like a rain of ice arrows shooting towards the mountain protection formation.

"Huh, what a small trick."

Patriarch Cao changed his spell with ease, and a stream of magic power hit the formation platform.

There was a slight humming sound.

However, in the original golden light cover, countless rotating spiritual shields appeared. These shields were like small whirlwinds, which sucked the ice edges into them. The ice edges were shattered in the whirlwinds and turned into scattered ice chips.

More and more kinds of monsters are pouring in.

Cao Xuerui quickly reminded Elder Cao San who was standing beside him:
"Uncle San, we have to eliminate a group of monsters as soon as possible."

If not.

A tide of beasts rose up and attacked.

I’m afraid that the Yuan Tiangang Formation cannot be defended.

Elder Cao San nodded slightly, and the two of them were mainly responsible for the killing formation.

I saw the two of them casting spells into the formation.

The formation was moving rapidly with a crackling sound.

Followed by.

But I saw white rays shooting out from the formation. Upon closer inspection, I realized that these were not white rays at all, but spiritual arrows that were flashing white light.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh,
Spiritual arrows fell like raindrops.

The Fire Wolf was unable to dodge and was nailed to the ground with a scream.

but.

There were too many monsters coming from the bee pupae, and they could not be killed at all. Moreover, with the addition of second-level monsters, the entire magic circle light curtain began to shake violently.

Cao Xuerui saw this.

Calmly said:
"Uncle San, activate the illusion array!"

Finished.

The spell changed.

However, the red array patterns on the array platform were lit up one by one, and then, a large red fog suddenly surged at the foot of Yunxiao Mountain, covering the entire beast army and the monsters trapped in it.

All the attacking methods stopped at once.

because.

What they saw at this time was that they had returned to their old nest.

However, what they didn't know was that at this moment, dense red lines were shooting out from the ground and entering their bodies along their hooves.

Just now.

Outside the red mist.

A roar came.

The rolling sound waves were like a hundred thousand troops sweeping in, and the red fog sea was actually swept away completely.

"This is."

Hear this breath.

Cao Xueyang's pupils shrank:
"Third level demon king!"

A third-level demon king actually appeared.

All of a sudden.

The confidence and hope that had been accumulated were completely dissipated in this roar:
"Father!"

Cao Xueyang shouted.

The implication is obvious: retreat.

Unlike Cao Xueyang's excessiveness, Cao Xuerui's eyes also flashed with fear at this time, but he seized the opportunity.

Shout loudly:
"burst!"

Rumble!
However, the monster at the foot of the mountain that was eroded by the red line exploded immediately, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. The entire foot of the mountain was suddenly piled up into a small hill with the monster's corpses and flesh.

Behind the hill.

The figure of the third-level Mo Yu You Lin was revealed.

Its body is like a piece of black jade, its scales are dark and star-shaped, its head is like a dragon but not a dragon, its antlers are huge and winding, and the antlers are surrounded by a faint light like clouds. Its eyes are like a deep pool, and there is a purple lightning mark on its forehead, which sometimes flashes with lightning. Its hooves are like black jade plates, which shake when it steps on the ground, leaving dark hoof prints with spiritual power fluctuations. Its tail is like a black silk ribbon, swaying with a faint breeze.

"Third-level demon king Mo Yu You Lin!"

Patriarch Cao's body shook, and the slightest bit of hope in his eyes disappeared.

"Father, if you don't leave now, when will you leave?!"

Cao Xueyang had already stood up from the position on the formation platform he was in charge of. If it weren't for his old father's sake, he would have run away long ago.

These blockheads.

I should have listened to him earlier.

Now they have all moved to a safe area.

Patriarch Cao quickly exchanged a glance with Third Elder Cao, nodded slightly in tacit understanding, and said calmly:
"Xueyang, Xiaoliu, you take the core disciples of the clan and leave. From today on, Xiaoliu will succeed the head of the Cao clan."

talking.

Patriarch Cao threw the ninth-rank family jade seal and a full storage bag to Cao Xuerui.

In front of the third-level demon king Mo Yu Youlin.

If the four of them retreated together at this moment, once the formation was broken, the Demon King would immediately catch up with them, and the consequence would be that no one would survive.

Cao Xueyang was stunned for a moment.

I thought I was hallucinating:
"Father, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if you don't want to be the head of this family, it won't be Xiaoliu's turn. I am the direct descendant of the patriarch."

Cao Xuerui also didn't expect that Patriarch Cao would pass the position of head of the family to him.

Although unexpected.

But now is not the time to be pretentious.

He bowed deeply to Patriarch Cao:
"Don't worry, Patriarch. I, Cao Xuerui, will definitely not let the Cao family perish like this!"

talking.

Immediately, his body dodged.

He shot out from the formation hall, slapped his storage bag, and the treasure ship flew into the air. After taking dozens of core disciples of the clan on board, he immediately rushed towards the secret passage.

Patriarch Cao looked at his son, whose face was filled with grief and anger.

Thousands of words to say, but now I just utter one sentence:
"Son, from now on, daddy can no longer protect you. Remember, think twice before you act. Go!"

"Father!"

Cao Xueyang had mixed feelings at the moment, but outside, the third-level demon king Mo Yu Youlin had already begun attacking the formation, and the treasure ship was about to disappear from sight. Cao Xueyang bit his lip, stomped his feet, and rushed out of the formation hall in an instant.

Wait until he catches up with Cao Xuerui.

After coming out of the secret passage of Yunxiao Mountain, he glared at Cao Xuerui coldly:
"Open the treasure ship formation."

Cao Xuerui frowned.

Obviously.

Cao Xueyang wanted to go his separate ways. The treasure ship was too big, and he brought dozens of low-level disciples with him. If he wasn't careful, the demon king would catch up with him and he would die.
"Fourth brother, have you thought it through? Once you leave, it means you are abandoning our family. You will no longer be a member of our Cao family."

"Who cares?"

Cao Xuerui sneered repeatedly.

The clan mountain is gone.

The tribesmen are gone too.

The position of the head of the family that originally belonged to him was also taken away.

There are only a few cats and dogs left, and he won't be stupid enough to work like a slave for them.

Yunxiao Mountain.

After Cao Xueyang and the other two left.

Patriarch Cao and Third Elder Cao both slammed their palms on the chest, and mouthfuls of blood spurted out onto the formation platform, and the runes on the formation platform instantly lit up with bright blood light.

hum!
The entire Yuan Tian Gang Formation is running at full speed.

they know.

If they can delay this group of beasts for a while longer, Cao Xueyang and his companions will have a better chance of survival.

"Roar!"

Many of his monsters were killed.

Mo Yu You Lin was obviously enraged, and he roared and stomped his four hooves on the ground.

Rumble.

The ground was shaken.

All I could see was the purple lightning mark in the center of its forehead.

Suddenly there was a burst of strong lightning.

The lightning seemed to tear through the void and blasted towards the weak point of the formation.

All the blood power of the third-level demon king was poured into this. For a moment, the surrounding spiritual power surged, and the ground under his hooves was shaken to form cracks.

Patriarch Cao and Third Elder Cao saw this scene.

The pupils shrank.

He immediately poured the magic power in his body into the formation. The light in the formation flowed and absorbed most of the lightning. Although the remaining lightning hit the formation wall, it failed to break it.

"puff"

however.

Without the two foundation-building warriors and a group of disciples guarding the center of the formation.

The backlash suffered by the two clan leaders Cao was also extremely great, and large mouthfuls of blood spurted out.

but.

The two of them looked determined.

Get up.

Continue to maintain the operation of the array.

"Roar"

One strike failed to defeat them.

The ferocity in Mo Yu You Lin's eyes became even more intense.

The black silk-like tail behind it swung violently, bringing up a strong wind. The wind seemed to be mixed with its demonic power, and this power rushed towards the formation. At the same time, it stepped on the ground with its four hooves, and the huge black jade-like hooves fell heavily. Every time it fell, the earth trembled. The spiritual power fluctuations in the hoof prints also merged into the wind, forming a powerful force to break the formation. This force merged into one and violently crashed into the formation.

Boom! !

The entire magic circle shook violently.

Subsequently.

The light curtain crackled a few times and quickly disintegrated.

The Yuan Tiangang Formation was broken!

The backlash force of the formation was as powerful as thunder.

Patriarch Cao and Third Elder Cao in the main formation flew backwards, covered in blood.

There was a faint light flickering in the demon king's eyes, and the purple lightning mark on his forehead burst out again. Two purple lightning bolts struck straight down. The already seriously injured Chief Cao and Third Elder Cao had no way to avoid it. They were hit by the lightning and turned into ashes in an instant.

"It's over, it's over!"

"The Lin family is finished, everyone run away!"

"Wuwuwu, husband, wait for me."

"."

The abandoned Lin family saw their last glimmer of hope shattered.

Dispersed in a hurry.

But they could not match the speed of the beast tide.

In a blink of an eye.

The entire Yunxiao Mountain was littered with corpses, the temples in the mountain were destroyed, and the magical herbs and medicines were trampled. The once fairyland-like Yunxiao Mountain had now become a sea of ​​blood:
"This is."

The mountain protection formation was breached? !
The imprisoned Lin clan leader heard the screams from the clan members above, and his face changed. In the end, the Cao family also failed to defend Yunxiao Mountain.

The foundation that he and his wife had worked hard for over a hundred years was destroyed in one day!
How can he face his wife after his death?

Chief Lin slumped to the ground, regretting his decision:
"If I had known this."

When the Shangguan family suggested that the Lin family should join the Fu family, he should have accepted it decisively.

It really doesn't work.

It would be a good idea to hide in Shangguan family's Tianlong City to avoid the limelight temporarily.

But he was bewildered and believed what the Cao family said, which resulted in the destruction of his clan. Clan leader Lin was so angry that his injuries flared up again. Without any elixir to suppress it, his internal organs almost moved out of place and he fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.

But his eyes were fixed on a section of the stone wall covered with moss.

It seems that there is something important hidden there.

Fifty miles away from Yunxiao Mountain, high in the sky.

A green rainbow came rushing towards them.

Fu Changsheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the back of the green python, said:
"Xiaoqing, stop for a moment."

along the way.

Xiaoqing always flies in the clouds.

and so.

I almost didn't encounter any monsters.

In addition, Fu Changsheng used the breath-concealing and invisibility techniques, so even if he encountered other flying monsters, they would not be able to detect him.

Overlooking the Yunxiao Mountain in the distance.

The fluctuations of the light curtain of the formation could not be seen faintly on the mountain.

As per the intelligence mentioned.

The beast tide should have already reached Yunxiao Mountain:
"It seems that Yunxiao Mountain was not defended after all."

It was difficult to deal with just the second-level beast tide, not to mention the third-level demon king. The mountain protection formation of the Lin family's fiefdom was controlled by the Cao family, and the power of the formation was greatly reduced, so the Cao family was defeated.

This is in the process of him cleaning up.

but.

just in case.

Fu Changsheng still had an idea:
"Exchange Information"

hum!
The panel vibrates.

A large amount of yellow light surged.

Then lines of text appeared:
[1: Chief He received your message and learned that a third-level demon king might attack the city, so he decisively took his people to the underground city for refuge. The He family mountain was plundered by the demon beasts, but the He family members luckily survived.]

[2: In order to protect Cao Xueyang and Cao Xuerui, the Cao clan leader and the third elder died in Yunxiao Mountain. In times of crisis, the Cao clan leader passed the position of the head of the family to Cao Xuerui. Cao Xueyang was indignant and parted ways with Cao Xuerui.]

[3: The independent cultivator Yun Bozi had been eyeing Yunxiao Mountain for a long time. After the mountain gate was breached and the beast tide passed, he immediately went there to pick up some bargains.]

【4:】

Fu Changsheng quickly scanned the information.

When his eyes fell on the third one.

His eyes narrowed slightly:
"Yun Bozi?!"

He was the one who tried to snatch the Nine Yang Divine Sword last time. I didn't expect this guy to be so agile and run to Yunxiao Mountain again.

but.

Information provided by intelligence.

The beast tide has left Yunxiao Mountain.

Fu Changsheng immediately patted the green python:
"Xiaoqing, speed up!"

The other things are fine.

It would be bad if the third-level Hansang Fruit that Ghost Fairy brought back from the Heavenly Punishment World was taken away by Yun Bozi.

The green python flapped its fleshy wings.

Swoop down.

The distance of fifty miles was within half a cup of tea and we arrived at the foot of Yunxiao Mountain.

But the entire Yunxiao Mountain was littered with corpses and blood flowed like a river, some of which were human and some were monsters, piled up into a small hill.

A pungent smell of blood hit my nose.

at the same time.

Buzz!
However, the Blood Demon Sword in the Yunhuan Zixian Tower, which had been silent for a long time, began to tremble violently.

He obtained this Blood Demon Sword from the Lei clan leader of Anyang County.

After being stimulated by secret methods.

The cultivator can gain power from the Blood Demon Sword and reach a higher level, but it comes at a great price. As for the side effects, he has not actually used it yet.

all the time.

Just throw it into the Yunhuan Zixian Tower.

Let the Soul-Eating Insect devour the demonic energy in it and treat it as its food. This is the first time that such an abnormal reaction has occurred since I received the Blood Demon Sword.

He hesitated.

Fu Changsheng drew a cloud around the Purple Fairy Tower.

A buzzing sound.

The soul-eating insects that were originally attached to the Blood Demon Sword retreated instantly.

Black light flashed.

The Blood Demon Sword was suspended in the air above Yunxiao Mountain.

Suddenly, a blood light appeared on the hilt, followed by a flash of blood rune. As time passed, the rune actually emitted a terrifying suction force, which condensed into a vortex.

boom!
The originally silent Yunxiao Mountain.

Strands of bloody evil energy seemed to be summoned and gathered towards the Blood Demon Sword in mid-air with a bang, fell into the vortex, and were then completely swallowed up by the blood-colored runes on the hilt.

At the beginning.

The bloody evil energy is just a thin layer.

But as time passes.

The bloody evil energy accumulated more and more, and even the energy that had been hidden deep underground for many years was summoned, condensing into a blood vortex with a diameter of more than ten feet.

"This"

This result.

This was something Fu Changsheng had never expected.

By the time he wanted to stop it, the situation was already out of control.

at the same time.

Yun Bozi, who had come to pick up bargains, felt the changes in Yunxiao Mountain. He shook his body and rushed out of the collapsed treasure hall.

His eyes fell on the Blood Demon Sword that was absorbing the bloody evil energy.

His eyes lit up:
"What kind of magic sword is this?"

Suddenly.

Notice something.

Look up.

But high in the sky, there was a green python coiled in it. On top of the green python, Fu Changsheng stood facing the wind, with the Nine Yang Divine Sword suspended above his head.

Yunbozi Throat Roll:
"My goodness, why did this ancestor come here?"

The scene where Fu Changsheng activated the Nine Yang Flame and killed Gongsun Ming was still deeply imprinted in his mind. Although he was also in the late stage of foundation building, if the other party really used the magic sword, he would not be a match for him at all.

and.

This Fu Changsheng has more than just the Nine Yang Divine Sword.

Now there is actually a Blood Demon Sword that absorbs the bloody evil energy.

It's beyond his ability to bear.

If I am not careful today, I might die.

Yun Bozi gritted his teeth and explained:
"Patriarch Fu, I really didn't know you were going to sacrifice the sword here. I'm leaving now, but don't worry, I swear by my inner demon that I will not reveal a single word of what I saw today to anyone else. If anyone breaks my promise, let me be burned to death by the fire of karma!"

The words have not yet fallen.

He felt a chill on his back.

Turn around and look.

His face turned pale.

But behind him, at some point, a second-level peak female ghost led thousands of ghost soldiers to block his retreat.

"Gudong!"

Yun Bozi swallowed hard.

If he was only dealing with Fu Changsheng, he might still have a chance of escaping. But now Fu Changsheng has a second-level peak spirit pet and a second-level peak ghost servant. He is afraid that he can't escape even if he has wings.

It seems.

Today, Fu Changsheng didn't want him to leave alive at all.

Yun Bozi's mind raced.

Suddenly.

Think of a reason to live.

He said quickly:
"Patriarch Fu, please spare my life, please spare my life, give me a chance, I can help your Fu family be promoted to an eighth-grade family."

Fu Changsheng didn't want to waste time talking to the other party.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

The murderous intent suddenly appeared.
