Banshee Family Training Record

Having just returned and being quite far away, Yun Chuan suddenly heard a series of deafening battle cries coming from afar, as if someone was fighting in a chaotic melee not far away. The shouts, some familiar and some unfamiliar, blended together, leaving him completely confused.

What's going on here?

He was unsure, but not in a hurry. He concealed himself and quietly approached the area filled with shouts of battle. There he saw his wolf demons and bear demons fighting a group of snake demons and centipede demons.

And they gained an absolute advantage.

Wolf-headed, human-bodied wolf demons, some with black fur and others with yellow fur, wear leather armor, each holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, standing in front while other wolf demons attack from behind with arrows.

The bear demons wielded enormous halberds or heavy hammers, each weighing a thousand pounds. They shouted and roared, and could injure anyone who brushed against them or touched them instantly. It was truly terrifying.

Some of the snake demons and centipedes on the other side were still barely maintaining their human forms, while others had already reverted to their original forms, spewing poisonous mist or flicking their tongues. We had to be careful.

Some were still chanting incantations and casting spells, but at the Qi Refining stage, many of their spells were probably not as effective as brute physical strength.

Both sides used their own methods, with arrows flying through the air and flames or frost falling, causing sand and stones to fly and leaving the mountainside in a mess, which was quite a spectacular sight.

Yun Chu'an watched from the shadows, shaking his head repeatedly. Although his lesser demons were currently in the lead, they were actually fighting without any strategy, relying solely on their overwhelming cultivation to one-sidedly defeat their enemies.

However, this is also proof of his own financial strength.

After several business deals, he now possessed an almost inexhaustible supply of low-grade spirit stones. He and several key members of his family had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and no longer needed these resources, so they distributed them to their subordinates.

Therefore, compared to the past when they had almost no spirit stones available, the wolf demons are now living like gods. Their cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds, and the young demons generally have the cultivation of the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining, which is one or two minor realms higher than their opponents.

As for the leaders, the Gray Wolf King Uvi and Guangzhi, who was specially named by Yun Chuan, they are now at the eighth and ninth levels of Qi Refining, respectively.

Yes, thanks to his extraordinary talent, Guangzhi has now surpassed his clan leader, and his cultivation level is a whole realm higher. According to the rules of their wolf clan, he should now challenge Uvi and become the new leader.

However, for some reason, this guy didn't seem interested in replacing the former clan leader and becoming the new leader. He continued to practice his skills and cultivation every day, longing for the day he could reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Now, he is also on the battlefield, wielding his flaming double-edged scimitar, facing a giant snake and a venomous centipede simultaneously, showing no fear whatsoever. He roared, "Let them see our power! Let Lord Yun know that we are not to be trifled with, and that we can also guard his home!"

He growled, his intense pride fueling a burning anger within him, which he couldn't find a suitable outlet for.

As time went by, they naturally heard about Ye Jinglan's situation. They patrolled the mountains day after day, year after year, yet they failed to find the assassins. Instead, it was Zhu Yunqing who discovered them, ultimately forcing one of the family leaders to leave…

Yun Chu'an's generous treatment of them made these wolf demons feel a strong sense of belonging to Huai Mountain, while Guangzhi felt a surge of anger and great shame.

Although neither Yun Chuan nor the other cultivators attributed these responsibilities to them, Guangzhi still harbored resentment.

He felt it was wrong that Yun Chuan had used so many spirit stones, yet they couldn't be of any use at the crucial moment.

Uvi, the wolf king, had similar thoughts, but he was more worried that one day Yun Chuan would suddenly discover that these wolf cubs were of no use and would stop raising them. Therefore, he felt nervous and fearful and was eager to prove his worth.

He desired more spirit stones from Yun Chu'an, unlike Guangzhi, who valued Yun Chu'an's high regard for him.

At that moment, Uvi transformed into Guangzhi and became a line of fire, shuttling back and forth across the battlefield. Wherever his blade passed, people were either killed or injured. The raging flames on his blade ignited the forest, and thick smoke billowed into the sky, causing many demon cultivators present to cough incessantly.

"Ugh—!"

Further away, the leader of the bear demons, named Qi Along, had transformed into his true form—a jet-black giant bear five or six meters tall, wielding a black iron rod weighing tens of thousands of kilograms in each hand. He charged into the enemy ranks and began to beat them wildly, swinging the rods with tremendous force, striking six times per second. The snake demons screamed in agony and quickly fled in defeat, disappearing without a trace.

He is now at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Although this black bear is not very talented and his cultivation progresses very slowly, and he even seems a bit dull and stupid when he speaks, he is willing to endure hardship and put in a lot of effort to train his body. Therefore, as a body cultivator, this guy's combat power is still not to be underestimated.

He was arguably the tallest person present.

The wolf and bear demons fought fiercely, and finally the snake demons in front were routed and turned to flee. Watching from the shadows, Yun Chu'an nodded slightly in the end. Although it wasn't perfect, he was fairly satisfied with the performance of his subordinates.

He then stepped forward, no longer hiding, and revealed his true form: "Everyone, thank you for your hard work."

In the center of the battlefield, many of the demon cultivators, some lightly wounded and others severely injured, were licking their wounds when they suddenly heard his voice. They immediately turned their heads, their faces filled with joy and surprise. Some shouted loudly, while others stood at attention: "Your Excellency Yun Chu'an!"

"We repelled the invading demon cultivators and prevented them from reaching the mountain!"

"loyalty!"

……

The demon cultivators were making a racket, shouting and yelling. The bear demons were relatively composed, while the wolf demons were all incredibly excited, some panting with their tongues out, and others wagging their tails.

Yun Chu'an smiled and nodded, waving to each of them and saying, "I've seen everyone's performance. Thank you all for your hard work!"

As he spoke, he took out a spirit stone bag and tossed it to Uvi, who quickly bent down to catch it. Then he heard Yun Chuan say, "Take this and distribute it to everyone below. Remember the old rules: those who are injured or have made meritorious contributions should receive more!"

His generous statement immediately caused another round of cheers and jubilation from the demons below.

After rewarding the guys, he turned around and waved his hand, saying, "Guangzhi, come with me."

At this moment, Guangzhi stood at a distance, holding his double-edged scimitar, awaiting orders. Upon hearing the voice, the wolf-headed, human-bodied demon cultivator, dressed in gray linen clothing and black cloth shoes, sheathed his weapon, his face filled with excitement, and jogged to catch up with Yun Chuan's pace.

Chapter 412 Golden Core Serpent

Yun Chu'an didn't try to hide from others. While strolling through the crowd and looking after the demon cultivators who were particularly badly injured, he directly asked, "Where did these snake demons come from? Have they been attacking here frequently lately?"

Guangzhi said, "No, this is the first time today, but we expanded the scale of our patrols a few days ago, and we noticed that they are appearing around more and more frequently."

Yun Chu'an nodded slightly: "What's your opinion?"

The wolf demon didn't bother with any formalities of politeness and went straight to the point: "My lord, I believe that the battles between various demon cultivators in the mountains are becoming increasingly fierce. The pythons are constantly running this way in order to seize the advantageous mountain of the Huai Mountain family. This will make it much easier for them to confront the Black Bull or to block human cultivators from outside the mountain."

"Therefore, I think we should also prepare early, as a major war may break out soon."

Yun Chu'an nodded: "That's right. Let's increase patrols in the near future."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling the wolf demon to go about his business. Guangzhi turned and took his leave. He returned to the mountain, met with his sisters, and after discussing the matter, they all agreed that they should indeed strengthen their defenses and absolutely not let their guard down.

Preparations were made on Huai Mountain to deal with the situation, but as expected, crisis followed one after another.

The next morning, a deafening noise abruptly woke Yun Chu'an from his cultivation. He rushed out of his room and looked into the distance, where he saw a tall, thin man in yellow robes with triangular eyes floating in mid-air under the azure sky. The man raised his head and called out to them in a loud voice, "Please invite the patriarch of the Huai Mountain family to come out. I have important matters to discuss with her."

Yun Chuan held his breath and didn't say much. He simply used his Qi-observation technique to scan the area above and determined that the creature was a snake demon in the Golden Core stage.

So soon, the family will be facing a true Golden Core stage enemy again?

He was confused and nervous. Even if he wanted to go and beg Sheng Linglong for help, it was probably too late.

Soon, a streak of light flashed by in the distance, and You Wensi appeared before them, coldly staring at the man in front of her: "What brings you here?"

Following closely behind her, Nie Ningshuang, Zhu Yunqing, and others also arrived one after another, standing side by side with Yun Chuan, gazing solemnly at the distant enemy, their faces showing no room for laughter.

In the sky, the yellow-clad snake demon cupped his hands, performing the proper etiquette: "Currently, my family is at war with the Black Bull rebels. The rebels are being funded by enemies outside the mountains, and we have been unable to pursue them, which has put us in a very difficult situation."

"In order to eliminate this enemy and maintain peace in the mountains forever, we have come here to earnestly request that Senior You Wensi of the Huai Mountain family lend us this mountain temporarily to ambush the Black Ox. We will repay you handsomely once the battle is over."

He spoke so eloquently, clearly having a complete plan in mind. The Yellow Python Clan was expanding, and war consumed resources, especially since the clan had recently depleted some and urgently needed to replenish them. Therefore, the Yellow Pythons must now accelerate their expansion.

Many families in these mountains who were originally quite powerful and able to remain neutral are now destined to be harvested by the pythons.

The snake demon pretended to be polite, but every word he uttered was nothing short of a blatant offense.

You Wensi raised an eyebrow, her anger already rising: "What if I don't lend it to you?"

The snake demon said, "My Yellow Python family has always preferred peaceful coexistence with other families, but if you insist on refusing, I'm afraid we'll have to offend you today."

As he spoke, several demon cultivators from the python, wild boar, and vulture races emerged from the forest behind him. They were all at the mid- or late-stage Foundation Establishment level, and their eyes were like those of hungry wolves as they stared at them.

This is when we have to take action.

Yun Chu'an summoned his Guan Dao (a type of halberd), and he and his sisters in the family became fully alert.

In comparison, only Nie Ningshuang among them had the cultivation level of the late Foundation Establishment stage, while he and Zhu Yunqing were both at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and Hua Caiyan and the others were only at the early Foundation Establishment stage. The scene seemed a bit weak for a moment.

However, You Wensi seemed completely confident about this: "If you have that confidence, then come on!"

She gazed coldly upwards, her eyes filled with disdain. The snake demon seemed enraged by her arrogant attitude, letting out a cold laugh before swooping down: "You're courting death!"

As he spoke, his body grew larger and twisted in mid-air, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to its original form, becoming a giant snake nearly a thousand meters long!

Thick black smoke billowed forth as he revealed his true form, instantly blotting out the sky. Behind him, several late-stage Foundation Establishment demon cultivators were also encouraged. Some wielded heavy hammers, while others transformed into their original forms, and they rushed towards the mountaintop, launching a coordinated attack on Yun Chu'an and the others.

These guys were followed by many lesser demons, who were fighting with the patrolling wolf demons, bear demons and other monsters. The scene was tense and tragic.

Yun Chu'an's gaze swept over his enemies, his brows furrowed, and his heart pounded.

He glanced at You Wensi in the distance out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but feel a surge of nervousness. This time, it was in front of her; should he use his true power?

That Three Thousand Spring Sunshine Technique is enough to kill enemies beyond one's level?

If he were to unleash his true power, with the might of the golden lightning and the skill of the Three Thousand Springs, none of these late-stage Foundation Establishment enemies present would be his match. Instead, he would kill them one by one, and they would all eventually perish under his Guan Dao.

In the end, you might not even be able to withstand much damage!

But if that's the case, You Wensi will probably realize that Yun Chuan and "Li Changsheng" are essentially the same person, and she will be on high alert, making it even more difficult to deal with her in the future!

But with a formidable enemy at hand, if we don't unleash our true power...

His eyes swept over Nie Ningshuang, Zhu Yunqing, and the others in the distance, and he felt a surge of anxiety. Although he held the Guan Dao, he retreated rapidly, watching the demon cultivators attacking from the front, avoiding their sharp edge and temporarily refraining from direct combat.

Nie Ningshuang stepped forward and, seeing him retreat, called out loudly, "Don't be afraid, Chu'an, I'm here to help you!"

She shouted this out loud, raised her left index finger forward, making a gesture like a pistol, and pointed it at him: "Frost Flows!"

It was just a very simple and short incantation, yet with her shout, a sudden drop in temperature enveloped Yun Chu'an. An endless chill surrounded him, yet it didn't actually harm him in the slightest; it merely shielded him from all harm by the freezing power.

Not only him, but also Zhu Yunqing in the distance was enveloped in a layer of freezing aura. The latter was extremely adept at this kind of coordinated combat, and immediately shouted, "Rise—"

Before she finished speaking, the ground beneath her feet suddenly trembled. The seemingly ordinary weeds abruptly shot forth countless pure white spider silk threads, hurtling towards the charging demon cultivators and catching them completely off guard!

The most agile of the late-stage Foundation Establishment vulture demon cultivators suddenly turned around, veering back into the sky at an almost acute angle, barely managing to avoid the trap. The other demon cultivators, without exception, were bound, to varying degrees, with their feet or legs bound, their movements temporarily restricted, some even unable to move at all!

"Don't panic!"

Seemingly sensing Yun Chu'an's worry, the spider demon immediately shouted again, "I've set a trap, leave it to me!"

Her call brought a slight sense of relief to Yun Chu'an. However, the latter remained tense, not daring to relax for a moment. Hearing the call, he simply replied loudly, "I know!"

As he spoke, he looked up at the last threatening enemy at present, the vulture demon cultivator circling high in the sky.

This creature was the only demon cultivator to escape Zhu Yunqing's trap. It was incredibly agile and cunning, hovering high in the sky, determined not to face Yun Chuan and the other two alone. It insisted on waiting for the other demon cultivators to break free of their restraints before launching a joint attack.

Although this guy came to attack with the pythons, he was actually very cunning and full of his own schemes.

Seeing through the guy's thoughts at a glance, Yun Chu'an immediately changed tactics, shouted "Fourth Sister, help me!" and swung his sword to slash at a boar demon cultivator with a pig's head and a human body, wielding a heavy hammer!

Chapter 413 You Wensi's Strength

"Ah--!"

The pig demon, bound by its thighs and unable to break free for a moment, roared angrily as he saw him pounce, its veins bulging in its arms, and swung its massive warhammer in a sweeping attack—

That giant hammer probably weighed a hundred tons. With a single sweep, the wind alone cracked the surrounding rocks inch by inch. It struck his body first, even though it was a later strike.

Yun Chu'an clashed head-on with him. When the giant hammer came crashing down, the cold air around him suddenly froze. Even though he was smashed to pieces in the next instant, he absorbed all the impact, leaving his body unharmed.

Then, his guan dao struck the man's body, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound in his chest, causing him to bleed profusely!

"Uh--"

The pig demon cried out in pain, suddenly breaking free of its restraints and retreating repeatedly. Its eyes were filled with fear, unable to believe that the spiritual energy fluctuations of the person in front of it were clearly a level lower than its own, yet it could have injured it so severely. For a moment, it felt ashamed, but it was also afraid that its injuries would worsen. So it just stared at Yun Chu'an and dared not move forward.

Unbeknownst to him, when Yun Chuan had nothing to do, he would study the sword intent insights left to him by Yan Shuiyi. Even though he hadn't mastered much of the essence, even just a small part of it was enough for him to deal with any enemy in the Foundation Establishment stage.

After all, Yan Shuiyi was a peerless genius who could defeat a Golden Core cultivator with only a late Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

The result of this strike was already astonishing for a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, but Yun Chu'an was still not satisfied. He glanced at the demon cultivator whose cultivation was a realm higher than his own, and couldn't help but sigh. This was only because he dared not use his full strength; otherwise, the pig demon in front of him would have been killed on the spot.

Forget about that, let's keep playing.

If that pig demon knew what he was thinking, he would probably be so angry that he would die on the spot: he was clearly the one with a higher cultivation level, but in the eyes of the human cultivator in front of him, things seemed to be completely reversed, which made people feel quite ridiculous!

Regardless, Yun Chu'an immediately turned his blade and charged toward another demon cultivator who was still trapped. Relying on the almost inexhaustible protective cold aura around him, he charged forward, clashing head-on with several demon cultivators, fighting them head-on as if he were fearless and almost insane.

Several late-stage Foundation Establishment demon cultivators broke free, and vultures swooped down from the sky to attack Zhu Yunqing. The latter lacked Yun Chu'an's formidable combat power, and for a time could only dodge and activate his magic treasures to protect himself, trying to hold off the vultures. However, he was constantly being chased and forced to retreat by the vultures, leaving him in a sorry state and unable to defend himself.

Nie Ningshuang was anxious, but her main focus was on protecting herself and casting spells to protect Yun Chuan, so she was too busy to spare any time.

Below, despite fighting on their home turf, they were still inevitably at a disadvantage. Fortunately, in the sky above, the duel between the Golden Core stage snake demon and You Wensi suddenly came to a conclusion.

Amidst billowing, thick black smoke, a thousand-meter-long serpent swooped down from the sky, its gaping maw seemingly capable of swallowing a mountain whole.

Compared to his massive body weighing thousands of tons, the humanoid You Wensi, who was only about 1.7 meters tall, looked so small, and the fluctuations of his spiritual power were completely suppressed by the latter.

But the woman was not afraid at all. After retreating a distance, she took out a soul banner and suddenly chanted a spell: "Nine Netherworlds devour the heart, the spirit platform is annihilated!"

Evil spiritual energy surged around them, and countless dead souls seemed to suddenly speak in mid-air, letting out ear-piercing roars at the snake demon.

The latter failed to protect its mind, and its consciousness went blank for a moment. When it regained its senses, You Wensi was already standing on its head, looking down and reaching out, its fingernails piercing the scales on its forehead, while silently chanting a spell: "Destroy marrow and corrode bones, bind it with blood for eternity!"

Instantly, a chilling power invaded the giant snake's body, frantically draining its power. The dazed python snapped back to reality, struggling fiercely to break free from You Wensi's grasp. Terrified, it immediately realized that this woman was no match for it!

He then spoke in a human voice, shouting loudly, "This woman is using strange methods, let's retreat!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned around and sped away. The many demon cultivators below, who had initially gained the upper hand and some of whom had spared their strength to support those above, had no choice but to give up upon seeing this situation and leave with resentment.
