Chapter 151: Yuan Family Old Man, Monster Blocks the Road

Ji Chang stopped briefly near Cangyufang Market, and suddenly realized something. He changed direction and headed towards the east of Jiaozhou.

When Liu Xuexuan saw this, she was confused but didn't say anything.

But there was an additional thought in my mind.

"There was a rumor that the master was born in Jiaozhou or Taizhou. It seems that it is not groundless."

……

The Guangping Yuan family was originally one of the best formation families in Jiaozhou. They had been established for hundreds of years and were best at arranging formations.

When the Chen family, which had established its foundation in the past, rose in Jiaozhou, they destroyed the Yuan family of Guangping and enslaved the monks of the Yuan family to set up a formation to protect the family.

Later, the Wang family counterattacked, and the Guangping Yuan family relied on their merits to rebuild their family and rise again.

Unfortunately, after a few years, the Chen family returned to Jiaozhou with the support of the Han family and established their own clan again.

As the guide, the Yuan family rushed forward first and was retaliated against fiercely by the Chen family.

In the past few years, although the Yuan family was retaliated by the Chen family, the Wang family, the main family, stood in front to block it.

In addition, the two major foundation-building families in Jiaozhou, the Wang family and the Chen family, are both affiliated with the Han family in Taizhou, so the Chen family has some reservations when taking revenge on the Yuan family.

Therefore, although there are many revenges, they are only carried out in secret and will not go directly to the point of destroying the house.

In order to boost their confidence and demonstrate their strength to win over their younger brothers, the Wang family wanted to make the Yuan family a role model.

Therefore, a lot of support was given to the Yuan family.

Not only did it provide a lot of resources, but it also gave some inheritance.

But since the Huangquan Sect expanded its territory to the Ten Thousand Mountains, Wang Changsheng, the only foundation-building cultivator of the Wang family, was recruited.

The remaining Wang family monks were having difficulty protecting themselves, so how could they stand up for the Yuan family?

Now, the situation of the Yuan family became increasingly difficult.

Although the Chen family has not yet directly carried out genocide against the Yuan family, any cultivator in the family who dares to leave the clan territory will be ambushed.

Some time ago, there was even a cultivator from the Yuan family who was killed on the spot by a cultivator from the Chen family outside the clan’s formation.

Thanks to the experience of setting up the second-level formation for the Chen family in the past and the second-level formation inheritance bestowed by the Wang family, the Yuan family was able to build a second-level formation in the clan land.

Otherwise, the Yuan family would have been exterminated by the Chen family long ago.

……

The atmosphere in the Yuan family's meeting hall was solemn and tense.

The top leaders of the Yuan family sat together with different expressions on their faces. They were discussing an important decision that would determine the survival of the family.

Should they continue to stay in the tribe and wait for an unknown fate, or fight a desperate battle and migrate the entire tribe to the Shiwan Mountains to expand their territory.

At this point, the debate between the two factions had entered a white-hot stage.

The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, as if any spark could ignite this fierce argument.

The monks who supported staying in the clan land, led by the great elder Yuan Shige, had displeased expressions and firm and stubborn eyes.

Yuan Shige was a man of high moral character and esteem. Not only was he the only surviving member of the Yuan family with the surname Shi, he had also made outstanding contributions when the Yuan family was restored.

It was he who went to the Wang family alone and presented the diagram of the Chen family's protective formation.

It is for this reason that Yuan Shige is a staunch pro-prince faction within the Yuan family.

At this time, Yuan Shige was stroking his long beard, his brows were furrowed, and his voice was low and powerful.

"The Changsheng Patriarch of the main family has already broken through to the middle stage of foundation building and is ranked 47th on the Tiangang Ranking. His talent and cultivation are obvious to all of us."

"Given time, he will surely become a member of Huangquan Shangzong and break through to the False Dan realm. If we leave the clan now, wouldn't it be a waste of all our efforts and disappoint the Changsheng Ancestor's expectations?"

As soon as his words fell, they immediately aroused a wave of echoes.

"Yes, the master has gifted us the inheritance of the second-level formation. Now is the time for us to show our loyalty."

"That's right, that's right. If we leave our clan land now and lose the formation to protect us, we will be directly exterminated by the Chen family."

These monks nodded one after another, expressing their agreement with Yuan Shige's point of view.

They firmly believe that as long as they hold on to their clan land and wait for the return of ancestor Wang Changsheng, the Yuan family will surely usher in a brighter future.

However, another group of monks who supported going to the Shiwan Mountains to open up new territories did not agree with this view.

They are represented by Yuan Zhenyang, a leader of the younger generation.

Yuan Zhenyang is only in his thirties now, but he has excellent aptitude and possesses top-grade spiritual roots. His cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi Refining, making him one of the senior members of the Yuan family.

He stood up suddenly, waved his arms and made an impassioned speech.

"We can't keep waiting like this! The Chen family's suppression is getting more and more serious. We no longer have enough resources and time to waste. Going to the Shiwandashan Mountains to expand our territory is our only way out!"

His voice was passionate and powerful, as if it could ignite all the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Other monks who supported going to the Shiwan Mountains also stood up and expressed their support for Yuan Feiyang's point of view.

Most of them are the younger generation of the Yuan family, and some were even born after the reconstruction of the Yuan family. They do not have much good feelings towards the Wang family, the main family.

They wanted to make the Yuan family a new foundation-building family, and transform themselves from chess pieces that would be easily discarded into chess players sitting at the chess table.

Going to the Shiwandashan Mountains can not only open up new horizons for the Yuan family, but also get rid of the suppression and restrictions of the Chen family.

More importantly, they are the first family to go to the Shiwan Mountains as a whole to expand their territory. Up to now, no immortal cultivation family has ever gone to the Shiwan Mountains as a whole.

Although their Yuan family is not a foundation-building family, this move will surely be favored by the Huangquan Sect. By then, when the Yuan family develops in the Shiwan Mountains, they will surely be able to receive a lot of resources.

Even without the protection of the clan protection formation, the Chen family should not dare to attack them out of caution.

The two groups of monks confronted each other and refused to give in.

Emotions were high among them, and each wanted to impose his or her own views on the other.

Yuan Shige's face became increasingly gloomy, and the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly tense, as if a fierce conflict would break out at any time.

Finally, Yuan Shige stood up, his voice echoing in the hall like thunder: "Enough!"

His scolding made everyone quiet, as if time had stopped at that moment.

He widened his eyes, looked around, and continued: "How dare you youngsters be so presumptuous?

"Do you know how difficult it is for our family? We have gone through so much hardship to rebuild our family. How can you put our family in danger again?"

His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.

"The Hundred Thousand Mountains are full of dangers, with second-level monsters appearing one after another, and foundation-building tribulations are common."

"The Yuan family is small and weak. Even if we succeed in entering the Shiwan Mountains, we will be eaten up by others."

His voice gradually became lower, but every word he said pierced the monks' hearts like a steel needle.

He waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.

"Let's not discuss this matter any further."

Yuan Zhenyang left the reception room angrily, with the anger still burning in his heart.

However, just when he was filled with resentment, suddenly a tribesman came hurriedly and handed him a sound transmission talisman.

Yuan Zhenyang took the talisman doubtfully and activated it using his magic power.

Yuan Zhenyang's expression changed, and without thinking too much, he immediately headed towards somewhere in the clan's territory.

……

At the same time, in a quiet mansion of the Yuan family.

Ji Chang was sitting in the reception room, in front of him was Yuan Yixiao, who was behaving rather reservedly.

Ji Chang looked at her and asked, "Have you tried to break through the foundation-building stage once?" Upon hearing this, Yuan Yixiao trembled slightly and secretly glanced at Liu Xuexuan who was sitting next to her.

Then he nodded to Ji Chang and said, "A few years ago, I tried to break through the foundation building stage, but I failed that time."

"If it weren't for the life-saving elixirs that Senior Han left behind, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to save my own life."

Ji Chang sighed in his heart.

According to his insight through spiritual sense, although Yuan Yixiao saved her life by relying on the elixir he left behind, she still had many hidden injuries on her body.

Moreover, her cultivation had regressed to the eighth level of Qi Refining, and she was also quite old, almost seventy years old.

It seems that even with the Foundation Establishment Pill in hand, the probability of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage would not be very high.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and Yuan Zhenyang walked in hurriedly.

When he saw Yuan Yixiao, he showed a friendly smile on his face, but when he noticed that there were other people in the reception room, his smile gradually faded and his eyes revealed a bit of vigilance.

Seeing this, Yuan Yixiao first introduced Yuan Zhenyang next to her to Ji Chang.

"Senior Han, this is my nephew Yuan Zhenyang."

Then, she quickly grabbed Yuan Zhenyang and said softly, "Zhenyang, come and greet the two seniors."

senior?

Yuan Zhenyang felt a little confused.

Although my aunt’s current cultivation level is only the eighth level of Qi Refining, before she tried to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, she was also a great cultivator at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Could it be that the cultivator that Yuan Yixiao called a senior was...

Yuan Zhenyang suddenly thought of something.

He looked at Ji Chang and Liu Xuexuan again, and his heart was slightly shaken.

The cultivation base of these two seniors is probably far above his, and they may be at the foundation-building stage.

He did not dare to neglect it, and quickly gathered his thoughts and bowed to the two of them respectfully: "Junior Yuan Zhenyang, greetings to the two seniors."

Ji Chang looked at Yuan Zhenyang and nodded slightly.

He noticed what had just happened in the Yuan family's meeting hall by peeking at the Dao Seed.

He also paid a little attention to Yuan Zhenyang, and through his spiritual sense he realized that he possessed a top-grade spiritual root.

Apparently, Yuan Yixiao passed on the foundation-building method that he left behind to this young man.

So, he opened his mouth and praised: "Good aptitude, decent cultivation, quite extraordinary."

Yuan Zhenyang was excited when he heard Ji Chang's praise.

"Thank you for the praise, senior." Yuan Zhenyang responded respectfully.

Ji Chang was just about to take out a jade slip of martial arts techniques from his storage bag, but suddenly it occurred to him that how could a Qi-refining cultivator read the jade slip since he did not have spiritual consciousness?

But now Ji Chang does not have the paper book containing the martial arts techniques on him.

Thinking of this, a thought moved his mind, and his spiritual consciousness poured into Yuan Zhenyang's sea of ​​consciousness in front of him, engraving a technique in his soul.

"This is the second-level technique, the Zixuan Imperial Formation Technique. It belongs to the Formation Dao technique. I got it from a fellow Formation Daoist... You can take it and practice it well. Don't disappoint your aunt's expectations."

Yuan Zhenyang only felt that a martial arts inheritance seemed to appear out of thin air in his mind. The content was obscure and difficult to understand, but every word and sentence was extremely clear, which was much better than the family martial arts.

This method of imparting martial arts skills was something he had never heard of or seen before, and it shocked him deeply.

Besides being shocked, Yuan Zhenyang felt more grateful.

He knew that this was an opportunity that his aunt had specially requested for him.

Otherwise, how could Yuan Zhenyang deserve the favor and teachings of such a senior?

He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for the training method, I will work hard to live up to your and my aunt's expectations."

Ji Chang smiled and nodded, indicating that he could leave.

Yuan Zhenyang bowed again, then turned and left the room.

Afterwards, Ji Chang exchanged pleasantries with Yuan Yixiao for a while, then he took Liu Xuexuan and left the Yuan family, heading towards the Shiwanda Mountains.

Yuan Yixiao looked at the backs of Ji Chang and the other man as they left. She felt mixed emotions and suddenly felt a little regretful.

If she had followed Ji Chang to Baishuixian City, she might have successfully established her foundation by now.

Now, it must be her who is following Ji Chang back to Yuan's house.

Yuan Yixiao sighed, calmed herself down, and turned back home.

……

After leaving Jiaozhou, Ji Chang and Liu Xuexuan rode the wind and went straight into the vast and deep Shiwan Mountains.

The mountains are green, the ancient trees are towering, and the clouds are lingering.

The destination of their trip was Liaogu Fairy City hidden deep in the mountains.

A few days later, a sharp eagle cry pierced the sky, shaking the leaves in the forest to fall.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light flashed, and a huge golden-winged demon eagle came from the west, blocking their way.

This golden-winged demon eagle has a strong body, its feathers sparkle with dazzling golden luster, and its pair of sharp claws seem to be able to tear everything apart.

It spread its huge wings and circled in the air, with a fierce light flashing in its eyes. It was obvious that it had regarded Ji Chang and Liu Xuexuan as prey.

Liu Xuexuan's pretty face froze slightly, she knew very well that this golden-winged demon eagle was no ordinary person.

This monster has reached the lower second level, and its strength is even stronger than that of a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building.

In front of such a monster, if she is not careful, she might fall into an irretrievable situation.

She turned to look at Ji Chang, only to see that he looked calm, without any fear in his eyes.

"Xuexuan, I will help you with the battle. You can give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuexuan nodded, and the Green Scale Gu in her hand suddenly glowed.

The next moment, a ball of dark green poisonous mist quickly dissipated around her with her as the center.

Some time ago, the snake Gu that Liu Xuexuan refined was exactly this green-scaled Gu.

Although it is only of the lower grade of the second level, its power is equally extraordinary.

In addition, there was the golden scale Gu that Ji Chang gave her to raise and control.

Liu Xuexuan has two poisonous insects in her hands, one for attack and one for defense. They are considered pretty good among the cultivators in the early stage of foundation building.

The battle was about to break out, and Liu Xuexuan and the golden-winged demon eagle engaged in a fierce fight.

Although the golden-winged demon eagle is ferocious, its movements gradually become slow under the influence of the poisonous mist released by the green-scaled insect.

However, the monster's body is strong, and even if it is affected by the poisonous fog, it can hold on for a long time and maintain good combat effectiveness.

Half an hour later, Liu Xuexuan gradually fell into a disadvantage and consumed a lot of magic power. Although the Golden-winged Demon Eagle was disturbed by the poisonous fog, it was still extremely ferocious.

At this moment, Ji Chang, who had been flanking the enemy, had an idea in his mind, and several blue sword lights appeared out of thin air around him.

These azure sword lights carried unparalleled sharpness and pierced straight towards the golden-winged demon eagle.

In an instant, the golden-winged demon eagle was unable to dodge, and several holes appeared on its body. It was instantly killed by the blue sword light.

After the battle, Liu Xuexuan took back the Green Scale Gu and breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Chang shook his head slightly and asked Liu Xuexuan to put away the body of the golden-winged demon eagle.

Afterwards, the two continued to head towards Liaogu Immortal City.
