Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 268

[268. Chapter 268: Sealing the Mountain (Subscription Request)]

“A Thousand Flowers and Thousand Illusions Formation, how could this happen?”

A Jindan Zhenren, whose whole body was wrapped in white light, looked at the sky full of flower petals that covered Baihua Mountain again, his eyes full of surprise.

It was clear that this formation had been slowly stagnating before, so how come it suddenly regained its strength?

“Not good… He Zun?!”

This Jindan Zhenren was very anxious.

He is the second supreme elder of the White Crane Sect, with the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Core Formation, and his Taoist name is True Man Feihe.

Naturally, he knew what kind of status that third-rank top-grade crane statue held in the heart of the Grand Elder.

If Mu Wanliu’s strength was not too strong and required the Supreme Elder to take action personally, he would never have sent He Zun to sneak into Baihua Mountain.

But now…

Crane Lord seemed to have failed?
Just as Master Feihe was hesitating, he saw petals scattered all over the sky, and a road paved with colorful flowers emerged.

An old man with a haggard face and white hair, holding a crane head in his hand, stood proudly on the colorful flower passage.

“Mu Wanlong?!”

Master Fei He was surprised: “Late Jindan stage? How is that possible?”

“White Crane Sect, you actually dared to secretly send a spirit crane to sneak into my Mu family and kill my Mu family’s Jindan elder… My Mu family must publicize this matter!”

Fang Xing snorted coldly.

The cultivators who mingle in the righteous path always care about their reputation.

Therefore, all the Jindan cultivators who came here had to hide their identities, and they would definitely not admit it even if their identities were guessed.

After the Mu family is destroyed, the only ones who can destroy the Mu family are the evil cultivators or the robbery cultivators.

The Baihe Sect only took over the Mu family’s property reluctantly.

Of course, now things have gone wrong…

This third-grade, top-quality alien spiritual crane is the biggest evidence, and the White Crane Sect cannot get around it.

Even if Qiankun Dao secretly supports Baihe Sect, it must give an explanation to the Mu family when encountering such a thing.

Master Feihe didn’t say much. Now the Baihe Sect and the Mu Family are at war to the death.

Unless he immediately led his men into the formation, crushed Mu Wanlong to ashes, and destroyed all the evidence.

Besides, anything else would be superfluous!
But…he was only a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, and he was even the one with the highest cultivation level among the Jindan True Immortals nearby.

Opposite is the former nest of a Nascent Soul family, guarded by a quasi-fourth-order formation and presided over by a late Jindan cultivator!
No matter how this late Jindan cultivator came from, now even a Jindan master of Zhengqizi’s level dare not rush into the Mu family formation!
‘In this situation… only the Supreme Elder, with the family ancestors, and the fourth-order Broken Vein Bead, can it be possible to take it down…’

“The key is that those great monks in the late Jindan stage have already ambushed Mu Wanlv…”

“I originally thought that there was an insider here, including He Zun and us… It was a sure thing to deal with Mu Wanqing, a mere Jindan Zhenren. I didn’t expect that the seriously injured Mu Wanlong was just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger…”

Master Fei He was extremely unwilling, and finally waved his hand: “Let’s go!”

He retreated first and needed to return to the sect to prepare many things.

For example…the Mu family’s appeal!

We must let the Five Elements of Qiankun Dao come up with a solution.

The Five Elements Son of Qiankun Dao is a newly selected Nascent Soul seed, a half-step Golden Core cultivator. After the death of Hunyuan Zi, he is regarded as the hope of the next generation.

A Nascent Soul Sect like the Ten Great Sects of Good and Evil would certainly not put all their eggs in one basket.

In addition to the Nascent Soul seeds, there are alternatives.

Although Wuxingzi is slightly inferior to Hunyuanzi, he is also a good choice for the time being.

On the magic side, new Nascent Soul seeds were also selected.

However, his vitality was inevitably severely damaged, and he lacked spiritual objects for condensing his infant. It was not very safe to rely solely on the sect’s foundation.

That’s why there was this great battle of land reclamation!
Feihe Zhenren turned into a stream of light and left. The other Jindan Zhenren looked at each other and retreated one after another.

“Elder…”

Seeing this scene, the fake Dan Zhenren who attacked Mu Wanlan at the beginning flew into the air and said helplessly: “Just let them go like this?”

“Ahem…”

Fang Xing suddenly coughed and wiped his face with a handkerchief, leaving a bright red mark.

“I forcefully used forbidden techniques to suppress my injuries and raise my realm… but now I am already at the end of my strength. It would be fine if I didn’t take action. If I do, I’m afraid I will die…”

In fact, he was too lazy to be the Mu family’s thug, so he just wanted to do it for the sake of showing his loyalty and drive away the Mu family’s enemies.

“Elder, you are now the pillar of the family. What should we do?”

This fake Dan Zhenren looked terrified.

“Ahem… Ten thousand feet…”

Fang Xing coughed again, and his breath weakened rapidly: “Now that Wan Qing is dead, the family has suffered heavy losses… Everything is left to you. Now the Mu family needs to do three things!”

“Please give your orders, Elder.” Mu Wanzhang’s eyes were firm.

He is a cultivator who has proven his loyalty to the Mu family through great adversity.

“The first thing to do is to notify the head of the family immediately… It may be too late, but we must try to bring them back to the family.”

Fang Xing counted out the second finger and said, “The second thing is to report to the sect leader… The corpse of this spiritual crane is the best evidence.”

“The third thing is that the Mu family is closing the mountain!”

“Sealing off the mountain?” Mu Wanzhang was startled and murmured, “Has it come to this?”

Although the Mu family had declined before, it still maintained the status of the number one Jindan family.

There are still many shops, spiritual medicine gardens, and mines in the outside world…

Even when some Jindan aristocratic families seek profits, they must call on the Mu family. They are considered the boss in the circle. Even if they decline later, they are still the second or third…

But closing the mountain is completely different. It means completely abandoning all interests from the outside world and only defending the ancestral land of Baihua Mountain!

This is undoubtedly a very painful thing, as the resources of Baihua Mountain are simply not enough to support so many family monks.

Either lay off most of them or use the family’s wealth.

If this continues in just a hundred years, the Mu family will surely decline.

Unless during the mountain closure, a God-given opportunity arises to cultivate a new Jindan Zhenren.

But this is basically impossible.

Most of the immortal cultivation forces chose to close the mountains, which was like drinking poison to quench thirst and slowly dying…

Each of those who can be reborn from the ashes is a rare case in a thousand years, which is why the story has become more and more widely spread.

Of course, for Fang Xing…

It would definitely be best for the Mu family to die slowly!
Because as long as he could occupy the fourth-level cave, the rest would be the interests of the Mu family, not his.

Naturally, I can give it up without hesitation.

This is no longer just a heroic act of cutting off one’s arm, but rather the body is chopped off altogether, leaving only the head.

“We still have to wait for the return of the Patriarch to make this decision… But temporarily closing the mountain and fully activating the mountain protection formation is feasible…”

Mu Wanzhang said: “Let the elder decide…”

Now, in the Mu family’s main mountain, Mu Wanlong is the only Jindan Zhenren left.

Moreover, the other party is the former head of the family!
Although he had some stigma of being greedy for life and afraid of death in the later period of his reign, he stood up today, which was enough to prove everything!
“Wanzhang… Today, I used a forbidden technique, which caused the injury that had not yet healed to worsen. I can’t hold on for a moment. Now I have to go back to the death retreat… The family is left to you.”

Fang Xing waved his hand, turned into a stream of light, and flew back to his own cave.

Before leaving, he did not forget to throw the formation token to Mu Wanzhang, and took away the inner elixir of the spiritual crane.

This is a third-grade, top-quality demon beast inner elixir, worth a lot of spirit stones.

…

In the cave.

The light of escape flashed, and Fang Xing’s figure emerged.

He played with a white inner pill in his hand, and suddenly thought: “Hmm… After today’s battle, Mu Wanlong must be in a state of seclusion… He can die at any time. No one should bother me anymore, right?”

“Besides, today’s outbreak… adds insult to injury. The soul lamp must become even dimmer…”

He had no intention of attacking the Mu family ancestral hall. After all, there were many restrictions and troubles there.

“The simplest way is to torture Mu Wanlong further and make his injuries worse…”

Fang Xing made a hand gesture and performed the art of escaping underground, and he arrived at the bottom of the cave, in a secret underground room.

Strange black-robed and masked figures were standing in every corner of the secret room, guarding an unconscious old man inside.

It was the ‘Five Chaos Demons’ and the real ‘Mu Wanlong’!
“Torture me again, but I can’t let him die. This is really a test of my skills…”

Fang Xing murmured.

…

A few days later.

Mu Wanzhang stood in the ancestral hall, next to the patriarch’s throne, with a look of numbness on his face.

The Mu family had previously participated in the land reclamation war and had transferred many cultivators.

Of course, there are still many elite troops left, and even several fake Dan Zhenren.

But after Mu Wanlan’s betrayal that night, not only did Mu Wanqing die, but several fake Dan Zhenren were also killed by the third-grade top-grade spirit cranes, and died horribly.

Up to now, he was the only Fake Dan Zhenren left in the family. As a last resort, he could only promote cultivators in the late foundation building stage to the ancestral hall to discuss matters.

“The Patriarch’s side…”

Mu Wanzhang’s voice was dry, like a dead person, chasing after the last glimmer of hope.

“The Long family replied that the remains of the White Jade Palace were found near Tianyun Mountain… There is no news from the family head and others…”

The eyes of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building turned red.

After all, they are from the same family, and his grandfather is in the team!

“What a cruel White Crane Sect!”

Mu Wanzhang cursed, and then saw a foundation-building cultivator walk in, holding a talisman in his hand.

“Did Qiankun Dao reply?”

Mu Wanzhang quickly took it, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and immediately cursed: “Shameless! The most shameless! What’s the matter with the stolen crane control token? This flat-haired beast…isn’t it the natal spirit pet of the White Crane Sect’s Grand Elder? Since when? The natal spirit pets are all controlled by the life token?”

Qiankundao’s response was blatantly biased.

Baihemen gave an excuse, and Qiankundao immediately believed it!
This kind of cooperation made Mu Wanzhang feel cold: “The Mu family is finished… This time, I’m afraid we have to close the mountain!”

Now he even dared not leave Baihua Mountain for fear of dying suddenly.

“Forget it… Pass the order down. My Mu family will close the mountain for a hundred years!”

Mu Wanzhang gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Even so, even if they completely gave up the outside world, the power of the Jindan family would no longer be there.

But in the end, the family can be preserved, even if it is only for a hundred years…

Today is two more
