Building a long-lasting family lineage starting with genealogy

Chapter 437 Nascent Soul Descends, Mei Yun's Encounter, and the Three Great Demon Lords (Happy Chinese New Year, Fellow Daoists!)

"This magical treasure is destined for me."

Xu Mingshu glanced at it and said without hesitation.

"It does resemble the kind used by beast tamers, but you already possess quite a few magical treasures. If you want this one, you'll need to return the others to your clan."

Xu Mingyuan smiled slightly.

"can."

"Then you can take it."

Xu Mingshu happily accepted it, then asked Xu Deling, "Ling'er, what do you think of this magic weapon?"

Xu Deling examined it carefully and said, "It is more precious than the 'Sea-Suppressing Seal'. This flag may be called the 'Ten Thousand Beasts Flag'."

If I'm not mistaken, it should be to collect the essence of all beasts and command them.

Similar to my grandfather's "Thousand Soul Banner".

The more and stronger the demonic beast essence it contains, the greater its power will be, and its value will definitely be no less than that of a top-tier magic weapon.

Hearing Xu Deling's evaluation, Xu Mingshu loved it even more.

In addition, there were several well-sealed jade bottles, which clearly contained precious elixirs.

However, none of those present were involved in this matter, so they planned to leave it as is and hand it over to Xu Chuan another day.

As for the materials, they are all top-tier fourth-order materials.

The spiritual herbs were all rare medicinal herbs that Xu Mingyuan and his companions had never seen before.

"De Ling, Ming Xian, do you have any useful materials?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

Xu Mingxian shook her head.

Xu Deling said, "These materials are all very precious. At least, among the materials we obtained on the outskirts of the battlefield before, there were only one or two that could compare to them."

I don't need it for now, so I'll keep it for now.

"I'll apply for it when I'm able to refine high-grade or top-tier magic weapons."

"can."

"Apart from the 'Sea-Suppressing Seal,' I'll keep the rest for now and give them to my father when I see him. As for this magic weapon, who among you wants it?"

Xu Mingyuan's gaze swept over the crowd.

They looked at each other.

Xu Mingxuan spread his hands, "Although I really want it, I already have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Purple Flame Pouch. It would be a waste to want it now."

"I don't need it either. Its element is water, which is incompatible with my nature, so it cannot unleash its full power."

“I already have the ‘Beasts Flag,’ so I’m too embarrassed to fight for it anymore,” Xu Mingshu said.

"You don't need to consider me either," Xu Dewen said, shrugging.

"Fifth brother, do you need anything?" Xu Mingyuan asked, looking at the silent Xu Mingxian.

Upon hearing this, Xu Mingxian looked over and said, "Let's give it to Deyue first. She's the only suitable one right now. If there's someone more suitable in the clan later, we can give it to him."

Xu Deyue initially wanted to refuse, after all, she followed a graceful and gentle path.

But seeing that his father said so, he no longer refused.

No one else would embarrass him.

After Xu Deyue accepted the "Sea-Suppressing Seal," the group headed out of the cave, intending to return to the outer perimeter of the battlefield.

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure erupted, followed by a palm formed from corpse energy reaching out to grab Xu Mingyuan and the others.

No one had time to react.

Only Xu Mingxuan activated the "Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda" in an instant.

A seven-colored light curtain protected everyone.

The dark green palm pressed down, and the seven-colored light screen fluctuated violently.

Just a moment.

Several cracks appeared.

Fortunately, the hand didn't last long and gradually disappeared.

"You're quite capable; you managed to react to that."

"Elder Gongyang, am I right? These people have several high-grade magic treasures, and this cave is protected by a great formation, so there must be many treasures here."

The one who spoke was Yin Shuo, who had decisively retreated just two days prior.

He originally didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore, but he happened to run into Gongyang Shang.

Gongyang Shang and Qiu Boyang discovered that the tracking technique on Zhang Daoran had been erased, and after searching around without success, they decided to discontinue their cooperation.

That's how the encounter with Yin Shuo happened.

When Yin Shuo saw Gongyang Shang, he naturally thought of Xu Mingyuan and his group, and persuaded him to come and stake out the place.

"Elder Yin, you are very kind. I will reward you handsomely for capturing them."

"Thank you, Elder."

Xu Mingyuan's expression was solemn. He then clasped his hands in a fist and said to Xu Dewen, "Senior Li, thank you for your help. On top of the conditions we agreed to, we will give you an additional 20% of the resources."

Xu Dewen stroked his beard and smiled faintly, "Wouldn't it have been better if we had done it this way earlier? If I had taken action last time, no one would have been able to escape, and we wouldn't be in this situation now."

Gongyang Shang frowned and looked at Xu Dewen, feeling that this person was unfamiliar and that he had never seen him before.

But judging from their tone, this person could definitely settle things with them if he took action.

"Who are you, fellow Daoist? Why don't you state your name? Disguising yourself as a junior Golden Core cultivator, or are you perhaps planning a sneak attack?"

Xu Dewen's eyes were cold, and he said with disdain, "Do I need you to teach me how to do things?! If you leave obediently, you can avoid a beating."

"What a joke! I'm just looking forward to seeing what you've got up your sleeve, fellow Daoist!"

"Then you'd better watch!"

Xu Dewen patted the Yin Corpse Bag, requesting the Xuan Yin Corpse King to make a move.

When Xu Chuan left them behind, he instructed the Xuan Yin Corpse King and the Blood Fiend Ghost King that they should be able to take action if necessary.

A gray-green light shot out, and a terrifying aura of corpse energy soared into the sky.

Amidst the gray-green aura of corpses, a howl belonging to a fourth-tier corpse king resounded for dozens of miles around.

The terrifying sonic boom caused ripples to spread throughout the surrounding space.

"A fourth-tier zombie king?!"

Gongyang Shang's eyes widened.

Yin Shuo was utterly astonished.

There are only a handful of fourth-tier corpse kings in the entire Corpse Yin Sect, and now one exists in the hands of a demonic cultivator of unknown origin.

Immediately, Gongyang Shang's eyes revealed a greedy look.

He dreamed of cultivating a fourth-tier corpse king, but unfortunately he has not succeeded so far.

"Fellow Daoist, you have a skillful method. However, you are only cultivating a corpse. Since my Yin Corpse Sect is the most prestigious, why not give this corpse to me? I will definitely be able to help him reach a higher level."

Xu Dewen did not respond, and instead released a black banner from his storage ring.

"The Thousand Soul Banner?! You're from the Heavenly Ghost Sect?!"

"Go, Blood Fiend!"

Xu Dewen was unable to activate the "Thousand Soul Banner," so he had to ask the Blood Demon King for help.

Otherwise, given the power of the "Thousand Soul Banner" at this moment, it would be enough to give a Nascent Soul cultivator a hard time.

A cloud of yin energy and ghostly mist drifted out and stood beside the Xuan Yin Corpse King.

A strange, mocking laugh echoed from within the black mist.

"More delicious food has been delivered to our door."

"A fourth-tier ghost king!"

Gongyang Shang's expression changed completely.

"Who exactly are you? You not only cultivated a fourth-order Corpse King, but also a fourth-order Ghost King. You are definitely not a member of the Heavenly Ghost Sect."

Did you steal that "Thousand Soul Banner"?

"So what if they are, and so what if they aren't?" Xu Dewen let out a sinister laugh. "Kill them!"

Xuan Yin Corpse Dynasty rushed towards Yin Shuo.

It was only because Xu Dewen had told him that the other person had a more suitable magic weapon for him.

"not good!"

Yin Shuo turned and flew away into the distance.

The Xuan Yin Corpse King stared intently at him, as if harboring immense hatred.

But how could he possibly be faster than a fourth-tier Corpse King, unless he possessed a divine ability to escape and had cultivated it to a level of minor perfection or higher?

As the Blood Demon King raised his hand, a gray-white light shot out.

Gongyang Shang was on guard, and with a hand seal, he condensed a corpse-fiend shield, blocking the gray-white light.

The light subsided, revealing a white bone nail.

"White Bone Nail, you killed that old ghost Yin Feng?!"

Xu Dewen gave a sinister smile.

This laugh sent a chill down Gongyang Shang's spine.

Yin Feng Lao Mo's realm was similar to his, both being at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, but he possessed a special magic weapon called the "Thousand Soul Banner".

It can gather the power of the demon army and unleash even greater power.

Although the Yin Corpse Sect also has corpse puppets, they do not possess such magical artifacts; they mostly rely on the strength of the corpse puppets themselves.

Only a few people may possess the Corpse Puppet Formation.

But people are inherently selfish and naturally won't easily share with others.

The Blood Demon King fought a great battle with Gongyang Shang. His magic weapon was inferior to Gongyang Shang's, and his cultivation level was also inferior. However, the Blood Demon King was good at using divine sense attacks.

This forced him to handle the situation with caution.

"No, although I still have a few peak third-tier corpse puppets, I'm afraid that the fourth-tier corpse king will return soon."

A fourth-tier corpse king naturally possesses a deterrent power against a third-tier corpse puppet.

Under this intimidating force, they probably wouldn't even be able to unleash 60% of their full strength.

"I'll remember you. You killed Yin Feng, the old demon of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. Just wait to be hunted down by the Heavenly Ghost Sect!"

Xu Dewen chuckled, "I am all alone and have no fixed abode. If they have the guts, let them come to Tiannan to hunt me down."

With a look of anger on his face, Gongyang Shang finally forced the Blood Demon King to retreat and then used his escape technique to leave.

The Blood Demon King did not continue the pursuit.

In just a dozen breaths, the Xuan Yin Corpse King returned to this place, bringing back Yin Shuo's corpse.

He had already escaped with his life, but he insisted on coming back to die.

This is a classic case of insatiable greed, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

“Senior Xuan Yin, you may take the body, but you can hand over the soul to Senior Xue Sha. As for the storage bag on his body, you must hand it over.”

The Corpse King of Xuan Yin frowned slightly.

"The 'Corpse Demon Bracelet' is even more powerful in the hands of those from the Corpse Path lineage. You can refine it into your natal magic weapon. I will discuss it with my father when he returns."

Upon hearing this, the Xuan Yin Corpse King's brows relaxed.

He only had his eye on the "Corpse Demon Bracelet," a magical artifact; the other materials and spiritual herbs were of little use to him.

"You're a decent person."

The Mysterious Yin Corpse King handed over his restrained soul to the Blood Fiend Ghost King.

The Blood Demon King was quite satisfied.

Immediately, one of them returned to the Corpse Bag, and the other returned to the Thousand Soul Banner.

"Fortunately, Father had made preparations in advance and left them behind, otherwise our journey would have been in grave danger," Xu Mingxuan said.

"Let's go, let's not linger here, let's go back to the outskirts of the battlefield first."

The others nodded in agreement.

Time flies.

Before we knew it, the three-year deadline was fast approaching.

Xu Chuan never found any trace of Mei Yun, but the [Heavenly Mystery Dao Evolution] indicated that she was still alive, which put his mind at ease.

"It's time to leave."

Xu Chuan didn't delay and went straight to the outer edge of the battlefield.

It took them more than half a month to break through the fog, and then several more days to reach the place where Xu Mingyuan and the others were.

Xu Mingyuan and the others stepped forward to pay their respects, each with a smile on their face.

Xu Chuan smiled faintly as he glanced at them and nodded, saying, "You all look much more capable now, so you must have experienced quite a few battles."

Xu Mingyuan said, "Most of the time, it's still about fighting against the 'Chi' (魑)."

"After all, their presence can be found in many places with rare and precious natural treasures."

"In addition, I have also encountered and fought with the Nine Nether Bird and the Vermilion Bird, and killed several demonic cultivators from the Blackwater Domain."

“Not bad,” Xu Chuan nodded.

Having gone through the ancient battlefield, their combat experience has been greatly improved.

"Father, we have a gift for you."

"Oh?" Xu Chuan's lips curled into a slight smile. "What gift is it?"

Xu Mingyuan brushed the jade ring on his hand, and two beams of light shot out.

It was the top-tier magic treasure "Star Chart" and the yellow jade slip containing the "Twenty-Eight Supreme Star Scripture".

"A top-tier magic weapon, or one that involves divination?"

Xu Chuan looked at the "Star Chart" with surprise, "I didn't expect you to have such an opportunity."

"The jade slip contains the accompanying deduction method. I wonder if it will be useful to Father?"

Xu Mingyuan didn't know the level of Xu Chuan's deduction inheritance, so he dared not make a guarantee.

Xu Chuan scanned it with his divine sense.

"The Twenty-Eight Supreme Constellations Sutra, the Sacred Land of the Four Symbols Constellations?"

"Could this be some ancient secret technique from that sacred site?!"

Xu Chuan had heard the dragon girl in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm mention that the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and other Four Symbols Sects guarded the Four Symbols Constellation Holy Land.

The core of the Four Symbols Constellation Sacred Land is the Heavenly Secrets lineage.

"One can only cultivate this technique when one reaches the Golden Core stage. This part can be cultivated to the point of perfect Nascent Soul. If there are suitable disciples in the clan in the future, they can cultivate this technique."

As for myself, at most I will cultivate various celestial secrets and techniques.

Xu Chuan could never directly switch to the Heavenly Secrets Path.

However, with the [Heavenly Secrets Dao Evolution], his future achievements in the Heavenly Secrets Dao will not be bad.

“These two items will be very useful to your father, so I will accept them,” Xu Chuan said with a smile.

"Father, there are two more Ancient Pride Tokens."

"You got another one? I haven't found one yet."

"One piece was found along with the 'Star Chart,' and the other was on the outskirts of the battlefield. Finding them was largely thanks to Mingxuan's luck."

Xu Mingxuan laughed upon hearing this, "It's all thanks to everyone. These places are extremely dangerous. If I were alone, it would have been impossible to retrieve them."

Then.

Xu Mingyuan handed over the remaining items he had obtained from the cave dwelling, as well as other items, to Xu Chuan.

He also mentioned the "Sea-Suppressing Seal", the "Beast Flag", and the "Corpse Demon Bracelet".

Xu Chuan listened attentively.

"Grandfather, the Corpse Bag and the Thousand Soul Banner are returned to their rightful owners."

Xu Dewen looked envious.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Although the corpse puppets and the ghost army can greatly enhance your strength, having both at the same time will be inconvenient for your future actions."

However, your grandfather can give you a "Hundred Demons Banner".

You can raise your own army of ghosts.

"Thank you, Grandfather."

With a flick of his sleeve, Xu Chuan conjured up a "Hundred Ghosts Banner" that flew into Xu Dewen's hand.

He glanced at it and quickly put it away.

A day or two later.

He has been in seclusion ever since, organizing and processing all the results of this effort.

Because Xu Mingyuan and his group didn't recognize many of the spiritual herbs and harvested pills, they had to entrust them to Xu Chuan to determine their value.

"They actually have 'Purple Dragon Flower' and 'Heavenly Star Grass,' so the materials for the 'Purple Dragon Pill' are now complete."

"Purple Dragon Pill" is a pill used to enhance magical power in the early to mid-stages of the Nascent Soul realm.

Once you reach the fourth tier, all types of pills become extremely precious, and demand far exceeds supply.

Many Nascent Soul cultivators can only improve their magical power and wear down their cultivation bottlenecks through arduous self-cultivation. Therefore, there are many Nascent Soul cultivators who cannot advance to the next level for one or two hundred years.

Many people spend their entire lives stuck in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm.

Only dominant or top-tier Nascent Soul forces can ensure the continuous transmission of early and mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Huh, it's actually a 'Precious Body Fruit'."

Xu Chuan looked at a fruit that was half green and half red among the many spiritual herbs.

"Precious Body Fruit" is a rare spiritual fruit at the top level of the third rank.

Tiannan is almost extinct.

Refining its pulp can greatly enhance physical strength and power.

Ineffective against third-tier physical bodies.

It is the main ingredient for refining the second-tier "Precious Body Pill". The other auxiliary ingredients are not hard to find, and the Xu family has them all, but the "Precious Body Fruit" has been nowhere to be found.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Now the path of dual cultivation of body and spirit for the Foundation Establishment stage of Wenjing can be considered open. However, one 'Precious Body Fruit' is enough for at most one person."

We still need to cultivate a mature *Prunus cerasifera* tree from the fruit pit.

Xu Chuan felt that a century was definitely the minimum required.

Xu Chuan carefully examined the remaining spiritual herbs and found that many of them were indeed quite precious, serving as one of the main ingredients for refining fourth-order healing pills and breakthrough pills.

Unfortunately, apart from the "Purple Dragon Pill," the other four tiers of pills could not be made up with a complete set of materials.

The Xu family still needs to continue collecting information.

Because there are less than two weeks left until the end of the three-year period.

They no longer went out.

Instead, they stay somewhere to cultivate in peace, and if any "demons" gather around, they move on.

The same applies to most of the other major powers.

However, some Nascent Soul stage cultivators still managed to reach the outer perimeter of the battlefield and began to reap the rewards.

If you were to encounter this by chance, the best outcome would be the loss of your valuables and resources, but more often than not, you would lose your life.

Xu Chuan and his group also encountered a Nascent Soul cultivator from Tiannan.

However, they were frightened away by Mo Yue's dragon roar and the numerous golden pills.

After that, Xu Chuan and his team moved to a different location.

the other side.

Deep in the battlefield, in a certain mountain range.

This place boasts a rare terrain with nine dragons guarding it.

There exists a strange space here, containing only one person and one soul.

This person was Mei Yun.

"The time to leave is approaching. Have you remembered what I said?"

Mei Yun nodded to the illusory primordial spirit floating in the air and said, "Ancestor, Mei Yun understands."

"Forget it, you can change your name when you return to the Ziwei Domain. As long as you take root in Tiannan and establish a powerful dynasty."

He will surely become one of the top five heirs to the Celestial Dynasty in the future.

"Yes, Ancestor, Mei Yun will do her best to accomplish this."

Mei Yun was miserable. She had come here as soon as she entered, and there were no rare and precious treasures to be found. She also had to endure the nagging of an old relic who had been dead for who knows how long.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy here is incredibly abundant.

Moreover, it seems to contain strands of pure dragon vein energy.

It aligns with his cultivation method.

Therefore, in these three years, his cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, and he actually reached the peak of the early stage of Golden Core.

Not long ago, with the help of the pills prepared for them by Xu Chuan, they stepped into the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

"I imagine Master will be very surprised to see me after I leave," Mei Yun thought to herself, but then she worried, "But with Master's shrewdness, I certainly can't hide it from him."

Should we tell the truth?
But I don't know if my master will believe me.

An ordinary rogue cultivator suddenly became one of the princes of a powerful immortal dynasty in his domain.

Even popular storytellers wouldn't dare write something like this.

The hegemonic forces that Mei Yun mentioned are far superior to the hegemonic forces in the Tiannan and Heishui regions.

That was a truly unified immortal dynasty.

Countless powerful families and sects bowed their heads in submission.

Never mind, let's talk about it outside.

Then he asked curiously, "Grandfather, what exactly is that stone you gave me? It looks quite ordinary to me."

You don't need to know now. Just infuse the dynasty's fortune into it every day after the dynasty is established.

Of course, whether it works depends on your luck.

"Could others discover the special features of this object?"

"Treasures are inherently concealed, obscuring the secrets of heaven. If a cultivator of the Heavenly Mystery Path at the Integration Realm were to expend their lifespan to deduce them, they should be able to."

But you can rest assured about Tiannan's current situation.

"Only a cultivator of the Heavenly Mystery Path at the Integration Stage can deduce the clues?!"

Mei Yun was shocked; the level of Nascent Soul cultivators was now almost a legend.

He looked at the head-sized stone in his hand and wondered to himself: What kind of treasure is this?

"Isn't it exhausting me to death to infuse me with the dynasty's fortune every day, and there's no guarantee it will even work?"

"Even the best treasure is useless to me."

"Besides, who knows where the Purple Star Domain is?!"

"What use is a bullshit heir apparent!"

Mei Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and she was already planning to hand over the position to Xu Chuan in order to benefit herself.

"Everyone else must have gained a lot, but I came here to cultivate myself. None of my family members understand my suffering."

"Ancestor, don't blame me, this is the only thing I can use to get by."

Mei Yun continued to consolidate her mid-stage Golden Core realm, and then waited to leave.

at the same time.

outside world.

Dongxi.

Bihan Pool.

"Brother, judging by the dates, Father and the others should be coming out today, right?" Xu Mingqing asked.

"more or less."

Why is elder brother frowning?

"For some reason, I always have a feeling of unease in my heart."

"It's not that bad. Father has left himself a backup plan. With seniors Mo Wentian and Chi Longzi, we can easily withstand another beast tide."

Almost all those in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm entered the ancient battlefield.

How could they possibly target our small Xu family?

"My Xu family has indeed not yet caught their eye, but there is one exception: the 'Ten Thousand Mountains'!"

"In the past few months, news of my Xu family's affairs has probably reached that so-called sacred mountain."

"Brother, do you think the 'Ten Thousand Mountains' won't let our Xu family stay?!"

"I hope this doesn't happen, otherwise, with my father and the others gone, it will be a devastating disaster for the Xu family."

But things backfired.

Only two or three hours later.

"boom!"

A terrifying pressure, seemingly emanating from the ancient wilderness, descended from the heavens without warning!

This oppressive force was not directed at any one person, but rather, like an invisible collapse of the heavens, it permeated the entire Dongxi through the clan's protective formation!

In an instant.

The valley was like an ancient well to which a giant stone had been thrown, with waves rising suddenly, but then being firmly suppressed!
On the streets, inside houses, and beside the spirit fields, countless members of the Xu family, guards, and servants, no matter what they were doing, all felt a pressure that came from the depths of their souls!

The Qi Refining stage cultivator's knees instantly went weak.

They all knelt down with a thud.

Supported by his limbs, his whole body trembled violently, and he was drenched in sweat.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators fared slightly better, but they were all deathly pale.

He clenched his teeth and used all his magical power to resist, barely managing to stand.

Yet his back was hunched, as if he were carrying a mountain on his back.

Only Golden Core cultivators like Xu Mingwei and Xu Mingqing could withstand this overwhelming pressure.

But his expression was extremely solemn.

"Big Brother!" Xu Mingqing's face turned ashen.

"You stay here, I'll go out and take a look."

"Big brother!"

Xu Mingwei gave him a reassuring look, then, holding the Treasure Dragon Bow, he soared into the sky and flew towards the outside of the cave.

"Crack. Creak."

On the way, Xu Mingwei heard the buildings in the valley groaning under the weight of the load.

A sweep of divine sense.

Countless people knelt on all fours.

The wooden house's beams and pillars are cracked, and tiles are falling off in a flurry.

Even in the sturdy stone house, fine, spiderweb-like cracks spread across the walls.

The entire cave trembled slightly under this oppressive force, and the spiritual energy became disordered.

Countless people felt a tightness in their chest and difficulty breathing, as if the surrounding air had been sucked out and solidified.

A short while later.

The oppressive aura vanished abruptly.

Fortunately, this oppressive force only lasted for a short while.

When Xu Mingwei went outside.

Then they saw two figures not far away confronting three humanoid demons.

It was Mo Wentian and Chi Longzi.

The two stood in mid-air, their faces more solemn than ever before, their gazes fixed on the three people a short distance away.

The man on the left is tall and thin, dressed in a jet-black feather robe, with a cold and stern face, yet carrying an indifferent air of looking down upon all living beings.

Deep within his eyes flickered a ghostly blue flame; he was none other than the Nine Nether Sparrow Demon Lord.

On the right is a man with a lion's head and a human body, whose body is as large as a mountain and who is covered in dark gold armor resembling a mane.

With a pair of large, bronze bell-shaped eyes that radiated golden light as they opened and closed, he exuded an imposing aura without being angry, and the faint sounds of wind and thunder accompanied his body; he was none other than the Suanni Demon Lord.

The one in the middle is undoubtedly Zhu Yan, the Demon Lord.

Its body was covered in crimson fur, its muscles were bulging like a dragon, it had a single horn on its forehead, and its eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit and violence.

With just a breath, he caused the surrounding air to become hot and turbulent, filling the wilderness with a murderous aura.

"Two seniors."

Xu Mingwei flew to their side and greeted them with clasped hands.

Why are you here?

“This is a matter concerning my Xu family. My father is not here, so I should stand up and face it.”

A hint of approval flashed in Chi Longzi's eyes, but he still shook his head and said, "You are not your father, and you do not have the combat power of a Nascent Soul cultivator, so you cannot intervene in this battle at all."

"You should step down."

Seeing that Xu Mingwei was unwilling, Chi Longzi transmitted his voice and said, "It will be difficult for us to stop the three of them. You should quickly take some of the elite clansmen and flee."

"Seniors, there's no need to persuade me any further. I have my own ideas and won't cause you any trouble."

"Never mind."

Seeing this, the Red Dragon Prince finally stopped trying to persuade him.

Mo Wentian took a deep breath, suppressing the pounding in his heart, and cupped his hands, saying loudly, "Three Demon Lords, this is the family of the Grand Elder of my Azure Dragon Alliance."

We are honored by your presence; what brings you here?

The Nine Nether Sparrow Demon Lord sneered, "What Azure Dragon Alliance? Never even heard of it!"

"Although our Azure Dragon Alliance is a newly established force, it has a fourth-order transformed demon in charge and three Nascent Soul warriors."

Upon hearing this, the three demon lords' expressions changed slightly.

The Suanni Demon Lord said, "This family killed dozens of third-tier demon beasts from my 'Ten Thousand Mountains' and is currently imprisoned. We have the right to deal with them."

I advise you to leave the alliance with that so-called elder.

Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!

Chi Longzi's pupils contracted, and he spoke in a deep voice, "I am Chi Longzi, the Supreme Elder of the Tianzhu Sect. Could you gentlemen please let this matter go for my sake?"

When the monster horde came to Dongxi and was wiped out, it was only natural that he was killed because he was not strong enough.

After all, many of them also died at the hands of other forces.

In Blackwater and Tiannan, some Golden Core cultivators and many Foundation Establishment cultivators also died at the hands of demonic beasts.

It's just a fight between the younger generation, why do the three of you have to get involved?

Isn't this going a bit too far?

"The Xu family is a powerful force in the imprisoned area, which my 'Ten Thousand Mountains' can handle. But the Heavenly Forging Sect is far away in the southern part of Tiannan. Why should we obstruct them?" the Suanni Demon Lord hummed.

Nine Nether Sparrow sneered, "That's right, your Heavenly Forging Sect is meddling too much. The forces my 'Ten Thousand Mountains' nurture can be destroyed at will!"

"Are you really determined to exterminate the Xu family?"

“Red Dragon Prince, you are not weak, but you can’t stop us. Your Heavenly Forging Sect is only famous for refining weapons. In terms of strength and foundation, you can’t be considered top-notch.”

It's best not to get involved in this mess.

Upon hearing this, Chi Longzi's face darkened.

But a bitter feeling also welled up inside me.

He truly hadn't expected that the three great demon lords of the "Ten Thousand Mountains" would actually mobilize together for the sake of the Xu family.

If we can avoid fighting this battle, we should do so.

Otherwise, he and Mo Wentian alone wouldn't have been able to stop the three of them.

"Fellow Daoist Xu Chuan has considerable connections. Do you really intend to exterminate his bloodline and relatives?!"

"That True Monarch Ku Rong?" said the Demon Lord Zhu Yan. "I've heard that he overpowered my son, and his strength is indeed extraordinary, but how can a mere Golden Core cultivator defy the general trend!"

"He has a close relationship with Ancestor Xuan Yue!"

"Ancestor Xuan Yue, Zhang Fan?!"

The three men's expressions suddenly changed.

“Fellow Daoist Xu Chuan’s potential is no less than that of Ancestor Xuan Yue in his youth. What you are doing is making him your mortal enemy.”

"Hmph, only those who grow up to be true geniuses are truly geniuses!" said the Nine Nether Sparrow Demon Lord. "As for Ancestor Xuan Yue, I acknowledge that he is qualified."

But I don't believe he would turn against my "Ten Thousand Mountains" for the sake of a mere Golden Core family.

"These monsters really have terrible tempers; they won't listen to either soft or hard tactics!"

Chi Longzi felt helpless.

"Fellow Daoist Chilongzi, what should we do now?" Mo Wentian asked telepathically.

“Xu Chuan and the others should be back in less than half a day. If you and I don’t even stop them, how can we face him? All our previous goodwill will be wasted.”

“Fellow Daoist Chilongzi is right.”

Mo Wentian sighed inwardly; this battle was now unavoidable.

At this time.

Xu Mingwei simultaneously transmitted his voice to the two of them, saying, "We are deeply grateful for the help of the two seniors. If we are unable to stop them and they leave, our Xu family will certainly not hold it against them."

This is a calamity for my Xu family.

My father had foreseen this.

But what he didn't expect was that the "Ten Thousand Mountains" would value the Xu family so much, with three demon lords descending simultaneously.

Besides thanking Chi Longzi and Mo Wentian, he also sent a message to Xu Mingqing, urging him to take action.

There is a teleportation array built underground in Dongxi, which can teleport you to the underground of "Qinghai Forest".

The space there is very spacious, enough to accommodate more than 100,000 people.

This is just in case.

Without hesitation, Xu Mingqing returned to the Xu family mansion and gathered all the Xu clan members to go to the "Qinghai Forest" for refuge.

Bai Jing and the others didn't ask any further questions.

They had all sensed the terrifying pressure from before, which was beyond the resistance of ordinary human beings.

"Mother, Father foresaw everything. Please come with me to seek refuge."

"understood."

"Where is your older brother?" Yang Ronghua asked worriedly.

"My elder brother has gone to fight off the enemy. Sister-in-law, don't worry. With the two seniors, Chi Longzi and Mo Wentian, whom Father invited, my elder brother will be fine."

Bai Jing also said, "Ronghua, as long as we are safe, even if Wei'er is no match for us, he should be able to escape."

"Understood, Mother."

Bai Jing, Yang Ronghua, Xu Dezhao, and others immediately took action.

Xu Chonghui immediately notified the rest of the people to seek refuge in the Xu family mansion, including not only the dependent families but also ordinary people at the foot of the mountain.

They all acted with great discipline.

The Nine Nether Sparrows naturally noticed it.

They ignored it, assuming that the Xu family was trying to protect innocent people from the Nascent Soul battle.

"Do you really think hiding underground will work?"

The Nine Nether Sparrow Demon Lord's eyes were full of contempt.
