Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 656 Continuous Struggle

As the group complained, they suddenly saw several people fighting in the distance.

Several patrolling monks rushed forward to stop them, and it took a lot of effort to separate the two fighting monks.

Only after asking did I learn that the fight had started simply because of who was in the queue first.

In the distance, Li Muling watched this scene, then silently turned and left.

Upon arriving at a secluded spot, Li Muling immediately sent out a communication jade slip.

"The time's almost ripe; shouldn't that guy make his move?"

Li Muling muttered something casually, then turned and went back to his residence.

Meanwhile, Yu Changsheng was still receiving people in the cave.

Recently, very few members of the Xie family have come over.

On the contrary, more and more members of the Du family arrived, for a very simple reason: Du Xingcai had arrived the day before.

The Du family members were surprised that they actually managed to summon the young lady from the Du family.

Du Xingcai was quite satisfied with this place.

They quickly established this place as their base and began recruiting Du family disciples who had fled elsewhere.

Yu Changsheng asked, "Du Xingcai, how many people does your Du family still have here?"

Du Xingcai recalled:

"We can still contact about a few dozen people. They should arrive in the next couple of days."

Yu Changsheng silently made his plans.

"So, the Du family still has seven Purple Mansion cultivators and dozens of cultivators below the Purple Mansion level."

"As for Nascent Soul cultivators?"

Du Xingcai said, "Besides me, there were originally three other Nascent Soul cultivators in the Du family."

"Besides my father and uncle, the other person had already fled when the Du family suffered their misfortune."

"But that guy was unreliable to begin with, so it's fine if he leaves."

Yu Changsheng asked, "Then where are your father and uncle? Haven't you been able to contact them at all?"

Du Xingcai shook his head, clearly having no news either.

Yu Changsheng was not surprised, after all, when those two families attacked, their main target was definitely Nascent Soul cultivators.

Besides these, there were the other cultivators.

"Hehe, well then, it's time for us to try our skills out."

Du Xingcai was startled and immediately asked, "You're going to make a move? Now? With our small force, we'd be sending ourselves to our deaths, wouldn't we?"

Yu Changsheng rolled his eyes. "Who said we were going to attack Sanling Town? We're just going to attack some of the Xuanyuan family's strongholds."

Du Xingcai asked doubtfully, "What's the point of attacking a stronghold?"

"The cultivators who remained in those places were mostly weak and of little value."

"I guess those two families knew we didn't need to attract attention by attacking these places, which is why they didn't recall everyone."

Yu Changsheng said, "Hehe, it's good to vent my anger. Are you going or not?"

"If you don't go, I'll go ask someone else."

"Go, why wouldn't I go! But I want half of what we get from those outposts!"

Yu Changsheng smiled wryly, "You're a Nascent Soul expert, so we'll still need your help. It'll be half and half."

"That's more like it."

Du Xingcai smiled and immediately went to gather some people.

Soon, Du Xingcai gathered more than thirty people.

The cultivation levels varied, with the lowest being only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but it didn't matter, since the enemies weren't strong anyway; they were just there to join in the fun.

Yu Changsheng also borrowed some of Elder Wu's men, all of whom were Purple Mansion cultivators with considerable strength.

When the cultivators of the Purple Mansion saw this scene, they thought that Yu Changsheng was about to do something big.

The result was that they went to attack some small outposts, and were all extremely disappointed.

"I said, is it really necessary to send so many people just to attack a small outpost?"

"Even if the Du family members go by themselves, it will be enough."

"Yeah, I think we shouldn't go, right?"

Yu Changsheng shook his head and said, "Hehe, the reason we all went together this time is..."

"It's also because it's the first time we've worked together, so we need to get to know each other better."

"If you face a strong enemy right away, some problems are bound to arise. If you practice against some simpler enemies, you'll have a chance to make amends if something goes wrong."

Seeing Yu Changsheng say this, Du Xingcai nodded thoughtfully, and the cultivators under Elder Wu no longer objected.

"Alright, but which place do you plan to target?"

Yu Changsheng had already chosen his target.

"The Xuanyuan family has a special place for raising spirit horses, which is guarded by about a few dozen cultivators, but they are not very strong."

"They are perfect candidates for a trial."

"Once everyone is familiar with each other, we can split up and take action against different targets."

"However, let's make it clear beforehand that we must only target the Xuanyuan family, and not the Li family or the City Lord's Mansion."

Du Xingcai asked, "Why would you do this? Do you have a grudge against the Xuanyuan family?"

Yu Changsheng said, "What grudge could there be? We're only targeting the Xuanyuan family. The Xuanyuan family in Sanling Town will definitely be the first to get restless."

"After all, the other two families are in good condition, while their territories are repeatedly attacked, which will inevitably cause internal conflicts among them, thus creating an opportunity for us."

Du Xingcai suddenly realized that Yu Changsheng had this purpose.

"Okay, of course, no problem."

The cultivators under Elder Wu also agreed.

Yu Changsheng didn't stop either, and followed the main group. Although he didn't plan to make a move for the time being, his methods were too obvious.

His identity could easily be discovered by someone with ulterior motives.

After all, the target was just a small outpost.

Yu Changsheng and his men didn't choose any particular time; once they arrived, they immediately began a massacre.

The cultivators from the Xuanyuan family were unaware of what was happening until various attacks rained down on them, at which point they realized they were facing imminent disaster.

The people stationed here are mostly low-level cultivators.

The only cultivator with the strongest power was a Golden Core cultivator.

On Yu Changsheng's side, there were even a bunch of Purple Mansion cultivators, not to mention Du Xingcai, a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The situation quickly turned into a one-sided suppression, but Yu Changsheng soon discovered the problem.

Many cultivators began looting the horse farm even before the battle was over.

They began to amass wealth on a large scale, and even some of the cultivators in the settlements had not yet escaped far, so they did not pursue them, but only cared about robbing them.

Yu Changsheng kept this matter in mind but did not interfere.

As for those who escaped, Yu Changsheng did not intend to pursue them, since his original intention was to get the message out.

To throw the Xuanyuan family into disarray, it was natural to let a few people go alive.

In this way, it doesn't seem too deliberate.

Soon, the cultivators stationed there were either dead or had fled, and not a single one remained alive.

The battle is almost over.

This time, Yu Changsheng finally found Mo Long, a leading cultivator under Du Xingcai and Elder Wu.

"You two should have seen the previous battle, right?"

Mo Long nodded and said, "I've seen it. The battle went well. Our side suffered no casualties and still managed to defeat the enemy completely."

"The victory was achieved without even some of the top fighters making a move; the outcome of this battle is quite remarkable."

Yu Changsheng did not respond, but instead looked at Du Xingcai and asked:

What do you think?

Du Xingcai shared a similar view, but what annoyed him was that they hadn't completely wiped out the other party.

She felt it was wrong of them to leave some survivors who escaped.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Yu Changsheng said, "Since you two think this way, then when we face the Three Spirits Town, we will only suffer a terrible defeat."

Both Mo Long and Du Xingcai were taken aback.

They didn't see any problems. After all, it was the first time they had worked together, and there were bound to be loopholes. It was normal for some people to escape.

"Isn't this enough? It's just the first time we've worked together, mistakes are inevitable. Next time, we definitely won't let anyone get away with it!"

Mo Long is very confident about this.

Yu Changsheng said, "These are not the main points. The main point is that while your men are still engaged in battle, a considerable number of them have already begun to collect their loot."

"If we get to Sanling Town and face even stronger opponents, and things are still like this, what do you think will happen then?"

Upon hearing Yu Changsheng's words, Du Xingcai and the other person felt a chill run down their spines.

If this problem were to actually occur in Sanling Town, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yu Changsheng said, "Gentlemen, if the next battle is like this, I don't think we need to think about taking action against Sanling Town again."

"Let's just break up and avoid risking our lives later."

Mo Long realized the problem at that moment and quickly nodded, saying:

"Indeed, I now understand why you chose to strike at a small outpost; it certainly seems to have proven fatal."

Du Xingcai said, "Don't worry, the same problem will definitely not occur in the next battle!"

Yu Changsheng said, "Hehe, I believe that with your abilities, gathering subordinates will be no problem at all. However, in order to completely resolve this issue..."

"I think it would be better to set some rules: whenever a stronghold is attacked, everything must be allocated in accordance with the agreement."

"Anyone found hoarding it should be punished appropriately. What do you two think?"

Mo Long nodded and said, "That's how it should be."

Du Xingcai immediately replied that there was no problem.

Only then did Yu Changsheng feel much more at ease.

Afterward, the two began to explain the rules to the cultivators below, and then had their men ransack the place again.

Subsequently, Yu Changsheng selected another suitable target.

This time, Du Xingcai and Mo Long's men were indeed less restrained than before.

The coordination was also much better than the first time.

Yu Changsheng was quite satisfied with this, at least the progress was quite obvious.

Afterwards, Du Xingcai and Mo Long discussed the distribution of the spoils.

There wasn't anything particularly valuable in this small outpost, and Yu Changsheng was too lazy to get involved.

Thus, the two sides joined forces and launched joint attacks on several of the Xuanyuan family's strongholds, and their coordination became increasingly proficient.

During this time, Yu Changsheng also specifically instructed them to release some people to spread the news.

Then, as the other side gradually realized what was happening and began to take some countermeasures,

Yu Changsheng immediately led his men to retreat and ceased the attack.

Upon returning to the cave, Du Xingcai immediately led his men to inventory the spoils of war.

It must be said that after attacking and looting these strongholds, the total spoils were quite substantial.

Moreover, the Du family has now almost lost all sources of income, so these supplies are quite important to them.

Outside the cave.

Many cultivators began to take stock of the supplies. Many items were simply placed on the ground, and many pills and cultivation resources were just casually placed, looking somewhat messy.

Several cultivators delivered the various supplies one by one to the inventory area for sorting.

Although it was a bit chaotic, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

As Yu Changsheng walked among the Du family cultivators, he noticed that their expressions were much happier.

Clearly, all the previous suppressed emotions were swept away after these victories.

After all, everyone has not only avenged themselves, but also gained a lot, far more than before.

Du Xingcai naturally saw all of this as well.

At this moment, he wholeheartedly agreed with Yu Changsheng's approach, saying, "It must be said that this attack, although targeting only some small strongholds, was successful."

"But the actual benefits seem to be much better than I imagined."

"It's a good thing I didn't reject your suggestion before."

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "Heh, do you think that attacking those strongholds will only bring some trivial benefits?"

"The real benefits will only become apparent after some time."

Du Xingcai smiled slightly, having no doubts; she had figured it out.

Why was Yu Changsheng able to establish this stronghold and attract so many people to join under these circumstances?

There was indeed a reason for this. Although she was stronger, she had previously been forced to lead the Du family in hiding, living a life of constant worry and uncertainty with no fixed abode.

I could never be happier than I am today.

At this moment, I admire Yu Changsheng even more.

She couldn't help but think of those Xie family members. When she came to this place, she heard that Xie Yuan had left with the Xie family.

She had initially thought that Xie Yuan didn't think highly of Yu Changsheng, and that she herself was hesitant about whether to stay.

But at this moment, such thoughts had completely disappeared, and there was even a faint anticipation for what Yu Changsheng would do next.

Yu Changsheng said, "For the time being, it's best to tell your subordinates not to be too flamboyant and to return to their previous state."

"We must not allow them to act on their own, like they did today, to plunder the Xuanyuan family's strongholds."

Du Xingcai asked疑惑地问道, "Why is that? Are you afraid of a counterattack from the Xuanyuan family?"

"Aren't they all hiding in Sanling Town?"

Yu Changsheng said, "Do you think they'll keep hiding forever?"

"In short, I'm not forcing you to do what I say, but you'll have to bear the consequences yourself. Don't come back to me later and do what I say."

Du Xingcai chuckled, patted Yu Changsheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, I'll do whatever you say, okay?"

"I'll talk to them about it then."

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly. Although Du Xingcai was a Nascent Soul expert, he was quite approachable. (End of Chapter)
