Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Soon, news of the attack on the Xuanyuan family's stronghold spread rapidly.

After all, who in the area surrounding Sanling Town, and even on the entire vast island, is unaware of the power of the Xuanyuan family?

The fact that someone dared to lay a hand on the Xuanyuan family quickly sparked a lot of discussion.

Moreover, these strongholds were almost completely destroyed, making it impossible to hide the truth.

Inside the city lord's mansion in Sanling Town, Li Muling and Xuan Yuanhai stood on either side.

Xuan Yuanhai's face was quite grim. After all, his territory had suffered such heavy losses one after another, so he was definitely extremely unhappy.

What made Xuanyuan Hai even more unhappy was that all the attacks he encountered were within his own sphere of influence.

However, Li Muling and Wang Haitang's territory was completely unaffected.

This made Xuan Yuan Hai even more resentful; why were all the problems caused on his territory?

That's why I came here today specifically to discuss this matter.

A short while later, Wang Haitang hurriedly walked in, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Hehe, you two are here. I'm sorry, I was just dealing with some things."

Li Muling asked, "Could they be those rogue cultivators we invited?"

Wang Haitang nodded and said, "Those guys have come to cause trouble again."

Xuan Yuanhai was already displeased, and upon hearing the words of those rogue cultivators, he became even more furious, saying:

"In that case, let's just send them away."

"I think Elder Wu is nothing special; he hasn't made a move for so long, he's probably scared!"

"I don't think there's any need for those rogue cultivators to stay. We are enough for Sanling Town."

Wang Haitang was also a bit troubled, as those rogue cultivators were heading towards leaving Sanling Town.

There's really nothing to do here.

Although there's nothing wrong with a cultivator hiding here for quiet cultivation.

However, there are always exceptions, and many people were also dissatisfied with the fact that Wang Haitang's compensation was far too low.

Because staying here would only earn Wang Haitang a small amount of spirit stones as compensation.

Sufficient rewards are only given when battles occur, for those independent cultivators.

Having stayed here for so long without much income, it's become difficult for them to support their spiritual practice.

This is especially true for those with higher cultivation levels.

That's why they kept asking Wang Haitang when he would make his move.

Wang Haitang managed to get through this time and promised to give him more cultivation pills every day.

However, this is not a long-term solution.

"Oh well, I'll just wait a bit longer."

"I had a bad feeling that Elder Wu might bring his men to attack at any moment."

Xuanyuan Hai said, "So what if they attack? With their own strength, what can they do to us?"

Wang Haitang waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about it."

"Why did you specifically call Li Muling here today? What exactly do you want?"

Xuan Yuanhai became even more furious when the matter was brought up: "Damn it, you all know that those guys from the two major families have been targeting my base and attacking it."

"In less than two days, I've already lost a lot.1"

"If this continues, who can stand it?"

Li Muling stood to the side with a blank expression, but inwardly he was laughing.

He knew all too well about this matter, though others might not.

This must be Zhou Wangzhi's doing; he's started taking action against the Xuanyuan family.

He even specifically reminded me of the timing for making my move.

The reason why he only targeted the Xuanyuan family and not the Li family was, of course, his own deliberate request.

Otherwise, who knows who might be suffering today?

At this moment, Li Muling had been watching the show with a detached, amused attitude, and even felt that cooperating with Yu Changsheng might actually have some advantages.

Wang Haitang said, "Alas, instead of Elder Wu's revenge, the remnants of these two great families have gotten involved."

Xuan Yuanhai said, "If you ask me, we should all go back to our own places. I don't think Elder Wu is going to come."

"No!"

Wang Haitang immediately rejected this proposal.

Especially in situations like this, he must remain calm and not lose his composure.

Xuan Yuanhai then asked, "So tell me, what should I do? Am I just supposed to watch those people from the Du and Xie families attack me?"

Li Muling said, "Anyway, they're just some small outposts, the losses aren't that great, why are you panicking?"

Xuan Yuanhai said with dissatisfaction, "You say you're asking for advice, but it's not your stuff that's being lost, so you don't seem to care."

"My business, which I've built up over many years and finally reached a certain scale, was destroyed overnight by these guys."

Wang Haitang also knew what angered Xuan Yuanhai, and immediately said:

"In that case, I'll just send a team to handle it right away."

"The remaining forces of the Xie and Du families are nothing more than stray dogs, putting up a last-ditch effort before they die."

"We just need to use a little force to strangle it clean."

"What other places in your base are worth attacking? You can list them out, and then we can simply ambush them."

"Killing them just once will be enough to cripple those guys, and they won't dare to do anything more."

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Hai finally agreed.

Ultimately, the two major families and the city lord's mansion each sent some cultivators, and each sent a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Ultimately, three Nascent Soul cultivators led a team to ambush a camp.

Those who left the city lord's mansion also began to consider whether or not to inform Yu Changsheng of this news.

After all, the two are still in a cooperative relationship, and Yu Changsheng has indeed kept his promise and has not taken any action against him.

However, if this information is given to Yu Changsheng, it will most likely expose his risks.

At that time, he would inevitably be suspected by Xuan Yuanhai and Wang Haitang.

In that case, he would have no choice but to stand with Yu Changsheng; there would be no turning back.

"Sigh, this is really a headache."

"However, this matter was not caused by me, so what does it have to do with me? But if I don't warn him, that guy might get angry and attack my place instead, which would be troublesome."

After a moment of thought, Li Muling suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He immediately sent a message to Yu Changsheng via jade slip.

Inside the cave.

Yu Changsheng looked at the communication jade slip in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

The letter contained intelligence sent by Li Muling.

It is said that Xuan Yuanhai went to the city lord's mansion today, presumably to discuss something with Wang Haitang.

But he was not involved in this matter, and he did not know what Wang Haitang was going to do.

"Could it be that Xuanyuan Hai is going to retaliate?"

After much thought, Yu Changsheng could only come up with this possibility. It must be that Xuan Yuanhai, upon learning that his base had been attacked, was preparing to retaliate.

So Yu Changsheng immediately found Mo Long and Du Xingcai and specifically warned them again that they should not take any action against the people of Xuanyuanhai for the time being, and should remain calm for a while.

Inside a storage room of an inn.

Xie Yuan sat at the table, examining the map by candlelight.

At the same time, Jun Linmu, who was standing nearby, also presented a jade slip containing a message, saying:

"Brother Xie, the information has been confirmed."

Xie Yuan looked up and quickly asked, "How is it?"

"The people who made the move a couple of days ago were indeed from the Du family. It seems they didn't target Sanling Town, but rather the Xuanyuan family."

"It really was them. I knew Zhou Wangzhi didn't have the guts or the ability; he only dared to mess with these places."

Xie Yuan also sneered and continued looking at the map.

Junlin Mou said, "Thank you, Brother Xie. I think we can also attack some of the relatively weaker outposts."

"The brothers have been hiding in this area for a while now, and they're getting impatient."

Xie Yuan looked up at Jun Linmu and nodded slightly.

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

"Alright, gather the manpower immediately. If the Du family can do it, so can we!"

Jun Linmou asked, "If that's the case, who should we attack?"

Xie Yuan said, "Since the Du family attacked the Xuanyuan family, we'll attack the Li family!"

"Surprise them!"

Junlin Mou also strongly agreed and immediately began to prepare manpower.

The Xie family's overall strength is indeed much greater than the Du family's.

Besides the Nascent Soul cultivators, the number of Purple Mansion cultivators far exceeded that of the Du family, amounting to more than a dozen.

Xie Yuan also chose to attack a Li family stronghold, and the process went very smoothly, resulting in a great harvest for the Xie family.

The news reached Sanling Town once again.

Upon learning that his men had also been attacked, Li Muling was so angry he almost cursed.

He had kindly reminded Yu Changsheng, but instead, this guy started targeting him.

Li Muling immediately sent out a communication jade slip to question Yu Changsheng, asking him if he still wanted to cooperate.

If you don't want to cooperate, just say so now. He's too lazy to argue with Yu Changsheng anymore.

When Yu Changsheng learned of this, he was both amused and exasperated.

He had clearly managed to keep the Du family and Elder Wu's people in peace for a while, but this still happened.

He initially thought that someone was not listening to him and that he had come up with his own idea.

But upon asking, it turned out that neither Du Xingcai nor Mo Long had made a move.

Yu Changsheng then realized that it was very likely that the Xie family had also seen an opportunity, which was why they had taken action against the Li family.

So Yu Changsheng had no choice but to pass on his idea to Li Muling and let him figure it out himself.

After all, the Xie family had long since parted ways with him and were already under his control.

Upon learning of this, Li Muling was so angry he nearly vomited blood; he never imagined such a thing would happen.

"You Xie family, you dare lay a hand on me and cut my head? I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Li Muling immediately sought out Xuan Yuanhai and Wang Haitang to discuss countermeasures.

The three then decided to send some of their men to ambush the Li family's base.

Once one side receives news of an attack, the other side immediately provides support.

Those who committed this act must be killed!

Sure enough, not long after, the Xie family launched another attack, targeting another outpost.

However, this time, Li Muling's men failed to ambush anyone. After all, the Li family had at least seven or eight strongholds, so they might not be able to guess the location correctly.

But Li Muling did not give up and continued to stay at another post.

This is a garden for growing spiritual herbs. There aren't many disciples responsible for guarding it, but there are many spiritual herbs that are about to be harvested.

Li Muling concluded that the Xie family would definitely take advantage of the ripening of the spiritual herbs to make a move here.

Therefore, although this place appears to be only slightly secure, it is actually a place where many experts have already been lying in ambush.

Even Li Muling personally guarded this place.

Suddenly, shouts and sounds of spiritual energy came from outside. Li Muling stood up, his eyes filled with ferocity.

"Finally, it's here!"

Li Muling didn't rush to act; instead, he turned and left the room to check the situation outside.

Sure enough, a group of people dressed in black launched a surprise attack on the place.

Several cultivators were immediately injured, and the leader, though his appearance was unclear, was tall.

This perfectly matches Li Muling's impression of the Xie family's descendants.

"As expected, you bunch of bastards."

Li Muling immediately sent out a signal, and before long, many cultivators rushed over from around the spirit herb park.

Upon seeing this, the group of men in black panicked.

Unexpectedly, many ambushes appeared here.

Xie Yuan, who was in the lead, was immediately alarmed. "Oh no, we've been tricked!"

"Retreat immediately!"

The leader was Xie Yuan, but he realized he had been ambushed and immediately ordered a retreat.

But having already entered such an encirclement, how could it be so easy to escape?

Before long, some of the Xie family cultivators on the outermost perimeter had died tragically.

Xie Yuan's eyes were bloodshot as he watched his clansmen die one by one, and he was instantly consumed by rage.

Xie Yuan roared and charged towards one of the spots.

Xie Yuan held a bronze-colored magic weapon in his hand, a unique magical artifact of his Xie family.

This knife has no other special features, except that it is extremely heavy and very large, more than the height of a person.

Holding it in your hand, you feel a strong sense of pressure.

Ordinary cultivators, even with their magical power, cannot lift such a heavy sword.

It was made of special materials and forged by a master blacksmith.

Furthermore, as their cultivation level increases, the swordsmith will also incorporate various materials into the forging process, making the greatsword even heavier.

Even ordinary cultivators couldn't withstand the weight of this greatsword and would be crushed to death.

This is also a method that perfectly suits Xie's family's talents.

The appearance of this blade startled many of the besieging cultivators, who had never seen such a powerful and imposing magical weapon.

However, when Xie Yuan charged into the crowd with his bronze broadsword, he was already engaged in a fierce battle.

Only then did they realize how powerful Xie Yuan's methods were, regardless of their various moves.

They couldn't even stop the massive blade from carving; in a single exchange, they killed many of the Li family's cultivators.

This scene immediately excited the Xie family.

With Xie Yuan's support, they immediately gained confidence, and Xie Yuan roared again, "Everyone, charge in one direction!"

All the members of the Xie family rushed towards one of the openings as if they had gone mad.

Xie Yuan also took the lead, clearing the way ahead.

Wielding a large bronze sword, he was unstoppable for a time, instantly giving all members of the Xie family hope. (End of Chapter)
