Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 128 Facing the Purple Mansion, the Tragedy of the Mu Family [Please Subscribe]

The message from the Mu family of Biyun Mountain spread far and wide, forcing many forces in Lanzhou to make crucial choices.

Should we send someone to rescue the Mu family?

How many people should be sent to rescue the Mu family?

This is a question that many high-ranking members of cultivation families, including Zhou Chun, need to seriously consider.

Inside the Zhongping Hall atop Pagoda Peak, facing the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde, who had just emerged from seclusion, were three family elders.

Zhou Chun, without any hesitation, spoke first, expressing his opinion: "This junior believes that the Mu family must be rescued, and not only that, but the rescue must be done beautifully, so that everyone knows that our Zhou family has gone to rescue them!"

"There are several Purple Mansion cultivators from the Qinglian Temple in Hongyafang City right now. Given the relationship between the Mu family and the Qinglian Temple, and the fact that the enemy is from the Hualong Sect, they can't just sit idly by."

"Therefore, when the Zhou family goes to rescue them, we must arrive at the Mu family before them. This way, regardless of whether the Mu family can rescue them or not, the reputation of our Zhou family will spread among our allies, and we will be more trusted by them!"

His words were well-reasoned and explained all the benefits of the rescue efforts.

But not long after he finished speaking, the Supreme Elder Zhou Mingde looked at him and said, "Have you considered the dangers of rescuing people? What if this is a feint by the Dragon Transformation Sect, deliberately using the Mu family as bait to lure and kill the cultivators who come to their rescue? If we rush to rescue them, wouldn't we just be falling into their trap?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "This junior has naturally considered this."

He then replied in a deep voice, "However, I believe that this is unlikely, because to accomplish this, the Dragon Transformation Sect would need several Purple Mansion cultivators to participate. Otherwise, if even one Purple Mansion cultivator leads the rescue, their feint attack will fail!"

"What if they really do have several Purple Mansion cultivators?"

Zhou Mingde pressed on, asking again.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately replied respectfully, "If it were Elder Taishang leading the rescue, even if the Dragon Transformation Sect truly had several Purple Mansion cultivators, I believe you would be able to escape unscathed!"

"You think highly of me."

Zhou Mingde said it casually, it was unclear whether his words were complimentary or derogatory.

The other Zhou family elders looked at each other, not daring to say a word, as they listened to the question and answer between the two.

However, they all admired Zhou Chun's courage, for daring to speak to Elder Zhou Mingde in this way with his Qi Refining stage cultivation.

After Zhou Mingde finished speaking, the atmosphere inside the hall fell silent, and no one spoke again.

After an unknown period of silence, Zhou Mingde suddenly spoke up, saying, "Very well, then I will personally go to Biyun Mountain to take a look!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun breathed a sigh of relief.

This result is undoubtedly the best possible outcome.

"The Supreme Elder is wise."

He offered his praise with a respectful expression, and then, along with several elders of the Zhou family, watched Zhou Mingde ride away on the Fire God Jackal.

Meanwhile, after the Blood Lotus pattern exploded in the sky above Biyun Mountain, igniting a fierce battle, the cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect also began to launch a fierce attack on the protective formation of the Mu family on Biyun Mountain.

"Everyone, give it your all! We must break through this formation as quickly as possible!"

The Black Dragon Protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect held a large banner with dragon patterns and waved it continuously, summoning water dragons to rush towards the Mu Family Mountain Gate.

He knew in his heart that this kind of signaling, guided by a large number of ordinary people, was impossible to extinguish in time.

Therefore, instead of diverting manpower to extinguish the flames of war, it would be better to break through the formation as soon as possible.

As long as the formation is broken before reinforcements arrive, the Mu family, which has no cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage, will be slaughtered at his mercy!

Mu Yunshan, the patriarch of the Mu family, also knew that this was the most dangerous moment since the establishment of the Mu family, so he devoted all of the family's resources to resisting the invasion.

One after another, magical talismans were unleashed from the hands of the Mu family cultivators, transforming into various spells that were launched at the attacking Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators.

As a cultivation family without a Purple Mansion stage cultivator in charge, the Mu family naturally knew where their shortcomings lay.

They also considered how to deal with a Purple Mansion stage cultivator leading an attack on their family.

Therefore, their family's protective mountain formation was set up at a high price by a formation master from the Qinglian Temple. It can concentrate the power of many cultivators in the family to enhance the formation's power, which is enough to defend against attacks from cultivators in the Purple Mansion stage.

At the same time, their family has always had the habit of stockpiling a large number of magic talismans.

At this critical moment, facing the threat of extinction, Mu Yunshan did not hesitate to bring out all the family's most treasured possessions.

He and several Foundation Establishment elders were seen presiding over the formation to resist the attacks from the Dragon Transformation Sect cultivators outside, while simultaneously sending out second-tier magic talismans to harass the missionaries and prevent them from focusing on attacking the mountain-protecting formation.

"The moment of destruction and annihilation is here! Everyone, do not hesitate in the slightest, or once the formation is broken, everything will fall into the hands of the enemy!"

"Everyone, hold on! Reinforcements will arrive soon. The elders of Qinglian Temple are currently in Hongya Market. They will not stand idly by and watch my Mu family perish!"

On Biyun Mountain, Mu Yunshan shouted loudly to boost the morale of the Mu family members on the mountain, encouraging every Mu family cultivator to cast out every magic talisman in their hands.

He knew in his heart that the Mu family would likely not end well today, and all he wanted now was to hold out for as long as possible before the formation broke, and to kill as many enemies as possible.

"As long as we can keep these bastards from the Dragon Transformation Sect in Biyun Mountain, even if my Mu family is destroyed today, Yun Tian and the others can rebuild the Mu family in the future based on this achievement!"

Mu Yunshan stared coldly at the Dragon Transformation Sect protector outside the formation, his heart filled with boundless hatred.

How could he not hate it!

The Mu family had been thriving ever since, with each generation surpassing the last.

If this continues, the Mu family will produce a Purple Mansion cultivator in less than three generations.

At that time, the Mu family of Biyun Mountain will also become a prominent clan in Lanzhou.

But now, with the arrival of these Dragon Transformation Cult members, the Mu family, which has been passed down for more than 300 years, is very likely to be destroyed today!

Although some members of the Mu family still reside in Qinglian Temple and other places, the entire clan will not be wiped out.

However, after this calamity, the Mu family's strength will regress by at least two hundred years, and it is unknown how many more years it will take to become a major clan!

Outside Biyun Mountain, the black dragon protector naturally felt the resentful gazes from the Mu family cultivators on the mountain.

Sensing the resentment, he not only didn't get angry, but instead laughed wildly and arrogantly, "Hahaha, resent it all! Today, I, the protector, will use the blood of all the cultivators of your Mu family to warn all the families in Lanzhou that if you dare to help Qinglian Temple oppose my Hualong Sect, you should be prepared to have your families and clans destroyed!"

He came to Lanzhou to cause trouble.

The bigger and more chaotic the situation becomes, the better he completes his mission.

So killing was not his main purpose; his main purpose was to create an atmosphere of terror.

He had even planned that after breaking the Mu family's protective mountain formation, he would kill all the Foundation Establishment cultivators and cripple half of the Qi Refining cultivators.

Let those Qi Refining stage cultivators whose cultivation has been crippled spread fear to the cultivators of other cultivation families in Lanzhou, thus serving as a warning to others.

After struggling to hold out for more than two hours, the Mu family's protective mountain formation finally gave way and shattered with a crash!

"Hahaha, kill them all, kill them to your heart's content!"

With a wild laugh, the Black Dragon Protector led the charge into Biyun Mountain, directly confronting several Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Mu family who were filled with despair.

The other cultivators of the Dragon Transformation Sect also burst into Biyun Mountain with strange laughter and excited expressions, burning, killing, and looting.

It seemed that the entire Mu family of Biyun Mountain was about to be completely destroyed by the war, and centuries of heritage would be wiped out in an instant.

But at that moment, a loud shout suddenly rang out from dozens of miles away.

"Fellow Daoist of the Mu family, hold on! Zhou Mingde of the Zhou family is here!"

Zhou Mingde of the Zhou family?

Upon hearing these five words, the black dragon protector paused slightly, as if he vaguely remembered them.

Before he could recall where the impression came from, he saw Mu Yunshan and his companions, who had been in despair, suddenly turn overjoyed.

"It's Elder Zhou Mingde from the Zhou family! Hold on, everyone! Our reinforcements have arrived!"

Mu Yunshan, as if a drowning man had seen a lifeline, shouted out with great joy and excitement.

Those Mu family members who were originally in despair now seemed to see hope, and they unleashed an unprecedented will to survive.

Upon seeing this, the Black Dragon Protector narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "I remember now, it's that Supreme Elder of the Zhou family, the Spirit Beast Clan. It seems that guy also has a third-tier demonic beast pet?"

Then his expression turned sinister, and he looked at Mu Yunshan and the others with a sneer, saying, "What are you all so happy about? Do you really think that just because someone has come to rescue you, they can save you damned people?"

He had barely finished speaking when he growled, "Die, all of you!"

Right under Zhou Mingde's nose as he rushed over from afar, Mu Yunshan and the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Mu family were all killed by the Black Dragon Protector in just over twenty breaths!

After killing Mu Yunshan and the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Mu family, the Black Dragon Protector immediately instructed the missionaries, "You all retreat first; I will cover your retreat!"

After saying that, he took the initiative to greet Zhou Mingde, who had already come closer.

"You wicked scoundrel! Today I will surely take your head to appease the spirits of Fellow Daoist Mu and the others in heaven!"

Zhou Mingde roared angrily and immediately joined forces with his spirit pet, the Fire God Jackal, to attack the black dragon protector.

The forces of water and fire clashed in the sky, and soon even large sections of the clouds were torn apart and destroyed.

On Biyun Mountain, Zhou Mingde was already engaged in combat with the Black Dragon Protector.

The remaining members of the Dragon Transformation Sect no longer cared about chasing down the Mu family Qi Refining cultivators who had fled into the mountains.

After hastily searching the corpses of the Mu family cultivators on Biyun Mountain, they quickly retreated and left Biyun Mountain.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhou Mingde was tempted to have the Fire God Jackal spare the lives of several Dragon Transformation Sect missionaries, so that he could directly exchange them for Foundation Establishment Pills from the Green Lotus Temple.

However, the Black Dragon Protector of the Dragon Transformation Sect on the other side is quite powerful. If the Fire God Jackal is not by his side, once the opponent uses the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique", he may not be able to withstand it alone.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he chose to play it safe and did not dare to separate from his spirit pet.

With the combined power of his spirit pet, Zhou Mingde quickly forced his opponent to unleash the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique".

As the "Dragon Transformation Secret Technique" was unleashed, the Black Dragon Guardian, who had been at a disadvantage, suddenly gained immense strength, even becoming capable of engaging in close combat with a third-tier demon beast like the Fire God Jackal!

Zhou Mingde lost most of the advantages he had gained, and even had to be wary of the Black Dragon Protector getting close to him.

If we disregard the Fire God Jackal, he was actually just an ordinary Purple Mansion stage cultivator, whose personal strength was not particularly outstanding.

Only by joining forces with the Fire God Jackal can he be considered a strongman among cultivators of the same level.

After the two fought fiercely for more than a quarter of an hour, seeing that his subordinates had left the area of ​​Biyun Mountain, the Black Dragon Protector no longer wanted to entangle with Zhou Mingde.

He immediately burst into loud laughter, saying, "Hahaha, that's enough for today. This protector will visit your Zhou family's mountain gate another day to seek further instruction!"

After saying this, he focused solely on breaking through to Biyun Lake, which was not far away, without lingering in battle.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde tried his best to stop them, but he still couldn't really stop them.

He could only watch helplessly as the creature plunged into the lake, disappearing from his senses by using the water.

"The black dragon is adept at water; it seems this was all part of his plan!"

Looking at the lake surface that had returned to calm, Zhou Mingde in the sky could only let out a long sigh.

Then, turning back to look at the still-burning Biyun Mountain, he couldn't help but sigh, "It seems the Mu family is truly destined for this calamity!"

As close allies, the Mu family's misfortune is clearly not a good thing for the Zhou family either.

When Zhou Mingde expressed his sorrow for the Mu family's tragic state, it was not a mere posturing, but a genuine outpouring of emotion.

Just as Zhou Mingde turned around to extinguish the fire on Biyun Mountain and began searching for the Mu family survivors who had fled into the mountain, the Qinglian Temple cultivators who had come from Hongya Market finally arrived at Biyun Mountain.

There were only two people who came, a male and a female Taoist priest.

The female Taoist priest among them was none other than Mingxia Taoist, who had previously visited Jiufeng Ridge.

When the two Taoist priests from Qinglian Temple arrived at Biyun Mountain and saw the Mu family's mountain gate in complete disarray, their expressions changed drastically.

Then, Daoist Mingxia hurriedly looked at Zhou Mingde and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, where are the thieves from the Dragon Transformation Sect? Where are the fellow Daoists from the Mu family?"

Upon hearing her question, Zhou Mingde let out a long, sorrowful sigh, "Alas! My two fellow Daoists have arrived a step too late!"

"If you two fellow Daoists had arrived two quarters of an hour earlier, before me, the Mu family patriarch and all the fellow Daoists of the Mu family would not have perished at the hands of that Black Dragon Protector!"

He then recounted how he had witnessed Mu Yunshan and the others die at the hands of their enemies, and how he had fought a great battle with the Black Dragon Protector.

In closing, he sighed with regret, "I only regret that I, Zhou, am incompetent and lack the strength to capture that Black Dragon Protector, and thus cannot avenge my fellow Daoists of the Mu family!"

The second update is here!
