Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 282 Different Fate

Wang Yang was once a genius in the Wang family, with the potential to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage and elevate the entire Wang family's status, but he was targeted by the Zi Yang family.

The Ziyang family exerted full pressure on the Wang family, causing all the families that were originally friendly with the Wang family to dare not associate with them, and the Wang family could not obtain the resources they needed for cultivation.

Wang Yang knew that as long as he remained in the Wang family, the Ziyang family would not give up targeting him.

If I were to truly reach the point of breakthrough, the Ziyang family would directly kill me.

His presence in the Wang family would only bring harm to the entire clan.

So he left home under cover of night and traveled all the way out of the Dongyang Sect's territory. For the next sixty years, he never returned to his family until he received Zhou Qing's promise and dared to come back.

Wang Can said, "It's good that you're back. After all these years, it's time for us younger generation to take good care of our uncle."

Wang Yang remained noncommittal and smiled, "Just now down the mountain, I heard that the Wang family is now in dire straits. I wonder what's going on?"

The smile on Wang Can's face vanished instantly, and he said hatefully, "What else could it be but the Ziyang family?"

Wang Yang said, "Is the Ziyang family going to target us again?"

"Could it be that another genius has emerged in the clan?"

Wang Can smiled bitterly and said, "The Wang family has been declining in recent years. Even if we have geniuses, where would we find the resources to cultivate them?"

"It is your nephew. I am fifty-six years old this year and have been stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining for nearly ten years, without having the courage to break through."

“In recent years, I have clearly felt that my condition is not as good as before. I understand that in a few years, I will completely lose the potential to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Given the current state of the Wang family, each generation will only be worse than the last.”

“In another hundred years or even a few decades, we may not even have the resources to train Qi Refining disciples, and the family lineage will be cut off in vain.”

"So I thought I should make a desperate attempt to break through the Foundation Establishment stage before my potential was exhausted."

"Unexpectedly, the Ziyang family found out about it."

"The Foundation Establishment Elder of the Ziyang family posted a message three days ago, saying that he would come to visit tomorrow."

"He says he's visiting, but his real purpose is obvious. I'm afraid he might try to kill me."

Wang Yang said angrily, "These bastards!"

"How many talented young people have been ruined by them over the years!"

Zhou Qing shook his head, thinking that this kind of thing was happening all over the entire Western Continent, and even the entire Qionghua Continent.

He said, "Patriarch Wang, you can now prepare for Foundation Establishment. I will take care of tomorrow's matters for you."

Wang Can was taken aback.

He had noticed Zhou Qing earlier, assuming he was Wang Yang's newly accepted disciple, but he never expected him to suddenly utter such arrogant words.

Wang Can looked at Wang Yang with a puzzled expression.

Wang Yang smiled and said, "This is a senior I met outside. With him here, everything will be fine tomorrow."

senior?

Wang Can's spirits lifted.

For someone to be addressed as "senior" by one's uncle, this person must be a Foundation Establishment expert.

With a Foundation Establishment expert intervening and blocking the Foundation Establishment elder of the Ziyang family, he might actually be able to gain the time to establish his Foundation Establishment.

Wang Can was initially delighted, but then worriedly said, "It will take me at least a month to establish my foundation. Once the Ziyang family receives the news, they will probably launch a large-scale attack. Senior is alone, and I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand the Ziyang family."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "It's alright, I have my own way."

Wang Can glanced at his uncle and saw his confident expression. He immediately muttered to himself, thinking, "It seems that this senior is not an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. Could he actually be a powerful Foundation Establishment expert?"
A strong Foundation Establishment expert is someone who has reached or exceeded the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.

Such experts are crucial backbone forces in Golden Core sects, and in Foundation Establishment families, they are capable of being the head of the family.

My uncle actually made friends with such an extraordinary person?!
Wang Can was overjoyed and respectfully said, "If you can help me successfully establish my foundation, the Wang family will be willing to serve you wholeheartedly in the future." Zhou Qing laughed and said, "That's not necessary."

There are many people who want to worship him, so how could a small family like the Wang family possibly get a chance?

Wang Can immediately ordered Wang Xin to clean Zhou Qing's guest room and treat him well.

He himself, along with Wang Yang and the elders of the family, devoted themselves to setting up the foundation-building site.

Wang Can originally intended to wait until he had sent away the elders of the Ziyang family before he could go into seclusion to break through to the next level.

However, persuaded by Wang Yang, he entered the secluded retreat that very day.

From Wang Yang's confident tone, he realized that the senior was probably a very remarkable person.

Wang Can went into seclusion.

The rest of the Wang family were divided into two groups: some were responsible for guarding the secluded meditation room, while others were busy preparing to welcome the elders from the Ziyang family.

The next day at noon, a sword light descended from the sky and landed directly outside the Wang family ancestral hall.

The newcomer was a man dressed in a purple robe, with a long, flowing beard and an impressive demeanor.

Most of the Wang family members didn't recognize him, but Wang Yang hated him to the core, saying, "Ziyang Kui, I didn't expect it to be you who came in person!"

Ziyang Kui looked Wang Yang up and down with a puzzled expression for a moment, then laughed and said, "You coward, you actually came back."

Sixty years ago, when Wang Yang fled the territory of the Dongyang Sect, it was Ziyang Kui who was responsible for hunting him down.

At that time, Ziyang Kui was not yet at the Foundation Establishment stage. The Ziyang family was just using this incident to train him. Although he ultimately failed to kill Wang Yang, the astonishing pressure he displayed throughout the process still made Wang Yang break out in a cold sweat when he recalled it many years later.

Now, sixty years have passed. Wang Yang is very old, while Zi Yang Kui has long since broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage and looks no different.

This filled Wang Yang with both bitterness and surging hatred.

Zi Yangkui glanced at the faces of the Wang family members and said, "Where is Wang Can? Why didn't he come out to greet us?"

"To receive the emperor?"

Zhou Qing chuckled and said, "Does she think she's an emperor?"

Zi Yangkui stared intently at Zhou Qing and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Zhou Qing said, "You don't need to worry about it. Wang Can has already gone into seclusion to establish his foundation. I will take care of things here for him."

A murderous glint flashed in Zi Yangkui's eyes as he said, "So that coward dared to come back; he's found a powerful backer."

"However, you should not make a mistake. This is a family matter of my Dongyang Sect. If you get involved, you may not be able to handle it."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I have an agreement with Wang Yang to help his family break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. If you are willing to give me face and withdraw immediately, this matter will be over."

"If you are determined to stop the Wang family from establishing their foundation, you will be my enemy. I urge you to consider this carefully and not make a mistake for yourself."

"Don't make a mistake for yourself?"

Ziyang Kuilang laughed and said, "Your tone is so arrogant. Within the territory of Dongyang Sect, no one has ever dared to speak to our Ziyang family like this."

"No matter which Golden Core sect you are a disciple of, you cannot run wild in the Dongyang Sect."

"If you leave now, I can forgive and forget about what happened."

Zhou Qing said, "It seems we have no room for negotiation. In that case, please make your move."

A murderous glint flashed in Zi Yangkui's eyes. He pointed his sword at Zhou Qing, and a flying sword shot out from his sleeve.

The flying sword pierced straight at Zhou Qing's face.

However, a five-colored divine light arrived first, blasting away the flying sword and giving Zi Yangkui no chance to react, melting his head away.
