Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 55 Disadvantage
"stop."

Li Xiangming rushed as fast as he could and finally arrived before the others could make their move.

"what happened?"

“There are outsiders spying on Changyang Valley.”

Li Xianghua replied without putting down the array plate in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangming frowned and sized up the three people in front of him, who were clearly divided into different groups.

The hunchbacked man and the blind man exuded an ominous aura; they were clearly not good people.

The middle-aged cultivator stood casually with a smile on his face, his aura flowing naturally, unlike that of an ordinary person.

In contrast, although the police station has four members, they are all at the seventh level of Qi Refining and are quite young. Once a fight breaks out, they may not be able to gain the upper hand.

Li Xiangming gestured to Li Xianghua with his eyes, signaling him to calm down.

"We warmly welcome you all from afar, but we are puzzled as to why you are hiding here?"

The blind man chuckled: "My companion is shy, you can tell from his appearance. He's here to observe the ceremony out of consideration for him."

"Blind Luo, are you looking for death?"

The hunchbacked man flew into a rage.

The two men, each with their own sharp tongues, started arguing.

"These two are still mocking each other at this critical juncture; they don't seem to be working together."

Li Xiangming thought to himself, constantly guessing the other party's identity in his mind. Of course, he didn't stop talking and interrupted, "Let's not talk about what the seniors are doing here. May I ask for their names first?"

The hunchbacked man and the blind man looked at each other, fell silent, and did not answer.

The middle-aged cultivator replied, "My surname is Yu, and my given name is Feixuan."

Is Yu Feixuan?
As if he had just thought of something, Li Xiangming quickly cupped his hands in greeting and asked, "Is this Senior Yu Liu?"

Yu Feixuan asked in surprise, "You recognize me?"

"I have long admired your name. My father is the twelfth in the Li family's Qian generation."

"Haha, so you are the 'Qilin' that Brother Qianhe was talking about."

"I dare not accept such praise. May I ask when you arrived at Danggui Mountain and why you have come here?"

Li Xiangming calmly got to the point.

Yu Liu was a top disciple of the Flying Fox Cave, skilled in the art of escape, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

I had previously heard from Master Lingwu that this person was going to visit the Li family, but after several days, he neither went to Tailai Peak nor came to Changyang Valley.

I don't want to hide here anymore.

You can't hide here.

Li Xiangming glanced at it casually and immediately understood the importance of this location.

This place faces Changyang Valley directly, offering a commanding view and a wide vista.

If placed on a battlefield, it would be a strategic location that military strategists would fight over.

No wonder Li Xianghua was furious and took action. Whether it was the hunchbacked man, the blind man, or Yu Liu, if they weren't plotting against Changyang Valley, why would they be here?

Looking at Li Xiangming's calm and expressionless face, Yu Feixuan knew that his friendship with Li Qianhe was not enough to sway him.

He sighed and explained, “Nephew, please don’t misunderstand. I was sent by my master to visit Dangui Mountain. I saw a city that was very well-organized and amazed, so I stayed for two days.”

Li Xiangming seemed to be deep in thought. The city that Yu Liu mentioned should be the western part of Changtai.

"I originally thought I'd come to Changyang Valley to join in the fun, but I unexpectedly discovered a mysterious cultivator in the city."

"It just so happens that this mysterious cultivator left the city today, heading towards Changyang Valley. I couldn't resist my curiosity and followed him, only to run into these two people in front of me."

As he spoke, Yu Feixuan pointed to the hunchbacked man and the blind man.

"Senior Yu, are you saying that there is a fourth person here besides the three of you?"

"exactly."

Li Xiangming's face darkened completely as he looked at the other two: "Who exactly are you people? Since you have companions, why don't you call them out and greet each other?"

The hunchbacked man tilted his head. "Blind Luo, did your informant give you away?"

"I'm blind and I can't even keep up with the journey, how could I possibly have time to find spies? I even suspect that your subordinates were negligent in their duties."

"Hey, that's interesting. So it seems we've been under surveillance for a while now."

The hunchbacked man chuckled sinisterly. The two men continued talking to themselves, leaving the Li family standing aside.

Li Xiangming laughed in anger and cupped his hands to Yu Liu: "Please step aside for now, Senior Yu. We'll talk later."

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Yu Feixuan decisively retreated. He had only taken a few steps when he saw someone flying towards him.

"What kind of monster dares to run rampant here!"

The newcomer was Li Qianshi, accompanied by two other members of the Qian generation, both skilled fighters from the fourth branch of the family, exuding an imposing aura.

The three men, along with four from the police station and Li Xiangming, a total of eight people, surrounded the hunchbacked man and the blind man.

Yu Feixuan shifted his gaze and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. On the small hill, including himself, there were actually eleven late-stage Qi Refining cultivators gathered.

"Uncle Qianshi, these two men are of unknown origin, have violated the territory of my Li family, and refuse to cooperate. Please lend me a hand."

Li Xiangming spoke slowly.

At his command, Li Xianghua was the first to act. The palm-sized chessboard spun and grew larger before finally disappearing into the world.

However, everyone was shocked and couldn't help but look down. Countless lines of light and dark had appeared on the ground at some unknown time, which were the patterns of the formation.

"The Array of the Beginning of the First Cycle"

Yu Feixuan, being knowledgeable and experienced, recognized the formation. It is said that this formation has the ability to shift positions and change locations; once trapped within it, one is like a puppet on strings.

"Blind Luo, we can't let this kid set up the formation."

The hunchbacked man let out a low shout and summoned a soul-summoning banner. A black light flashed across the banner, and more than ten shadows spread their arms and rushed straight towards Li Xianghua.

"It's a ghost cultivator!"

Li Qianshi gave a reminder, then clasped his hands together, and the scorching flames transformed into a black bird, blocking the path of the ghost soldiers.

As the black bird swooped down, the ghost soldiers scattered and fled back to the hunchbacked man's side.

"Hey, what a coward."

The hunchbacked man bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He then formed hand seals, and the ghost soldiers around him regrouped. Bathed in blood mist, they became bloodthirsty and danced wildly, actually extinguishing the pursuing Flame Bird.

Meanwhile, Luo the Blind Man disappeared using some unknown means, only to reappear in front of Li Xiang's screen.

This person was shirtless, bathed in golden light, and with each step he took, his size increased, which terrified all the cultivators present.

"Forgive me."

Luo the Blind even apologized, but he didn't hold back at all when he attacked. A five-clawed golden dragon emerged from his back, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

"Be careful."

Shouts came one after another.

Looking at the ever-expanding five-clawed golden dragon before him, Li Xianghua forced himself to calm down. He did not dodge, but instead sat cross-legged, concentrating all his mind on his sea of ​​consciousness.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, a magical chessboard was displayed with eleven chess pieces scattered about. As the little soul figure moved one of the pieces, the blind man Luo, who had come with a dragon, was instantly forced to retreat.

The direction of the retreat was exactly where Li Xiangming was, and Li Xiangming was already prepared. Countless waves rose up one after another, and the sound of the waves was sometimes deep and powerful, and sometimes high and passionate, as if telling the mysterious story of the sea.

"Something's wrong!"

The blind man, being experienced, immediately realized he was trapped in an illusionary formation, and his expression changed slightly: "Two formations?"

"No, this should be considered a spell."

Luo the Blind murmured, and the five-clawed golden dragon curled up into a ball, transforming into a golden shield. Waves surged on the shield, constantly tearing it apart, yet they could not harm it in the slightest.

As the tide receded, the five-clawed golden dragon roared, like a trapped dragon ascending to heaven, and the intense magical power caused the surrounding cultivators to retreat one after another.

Li Xiangming was also forced back. By the time he regained his senses, Luo the Blind had already flown into the air and broken free from his "Fubo Illusion Array" and Li Xiang's One Yuan Rebirth Array.

"What an amazing person."

Li Xiangming was secretly alarmed. He wondered what kind of magic this five-clawed golden dragon was formed from. It was incredibly powerful and had both offensive and defensive capabilities. Ordinary methods were simply ineffective against it.

Moreover, the opponent is not only skilled in magic, but also possesses a secret technique to strengthen the body. In such a short time, he has grown to twelve or thirteen feet tall, resembling a small giant.

Knowing he was no match for Li Xiangming, he couldn't help but look at Li Qianshi.

Li Qianshi, a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, was also in a difficult situation. His fire magic should have been able to suppress the ghost cultivator opposite him, but the hunchbacked man used his bloodthirsty ghosts to forcefully hold him in place.

If it weren't for the assistance of the other two cultivators of the Qian generation, they would have been in a complete mess.

After several rounds, the Li family cultivators, despite their superior numbers, were completely unable to subdue these two strange outsiders.
