Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Zhang Family Devastated, Black Spirit Tea Obtained

At the critical moment.

Fu Changsheng maneuvered the flying ship, narrowly avoiding the claw of the Pork Spirit Beast, and struck the protruding stone on the right with his palm.

Rumble.

A stone wall pivoted open.

Fu Changsheng navigated the flying ship and slipped through in an instant.

Behind the stone wall was the Moon Lake of the Zhang Family.

After entering the lake.

He swiftly swam towards the Lake Heart Island.

Behind him.

The Pork Spirit Beast relentlessly pursued.

The array hub of the Zhang Family was located in the mid-hall on Lake Heart Island.

Splish splash.

A tiny splash of water arose.

Fu Changsheng burst out from the bottom of the lake, draped in an Invisibility Cloak, unnoticed by the Zhang Family people. Only clouds appeared beneath his feet, and after a few breaths, he arrived at the gate of the central hall.

At this moment.

The door to the hall happened to open.

Zhang Huanliu, who was guarding the array, had detected the anomaly in the Wind Killing Array at Moon Lake and was about to go out and investigate, when he was suddenly hit by a stench.

Three stalks of Insect Demon Grass fell into his arms from above:

”What’s going on?!”

Zhang Huanliu was stunned for a moment.

Then immediately realized.

The Wind Killing Array was breached.

This was an enemy intrusion into the Clan Mountain.

He immediately pulled out a token to issue a warning.

”Hiss, hiss, hiss!”

Suddenly.

A roar was heard overhead.

Looking up.

Unexpectedly, a Tier One Peak Pork Spirit Beast was hovering above him, and with a swing of its claw, the unguarded Zhang Huanliu didn’t even have time to cry for help before his skull was cut off with a crack.

”Bang!”

Zhang Huanliu’s lifeless body fell to the ground with eyes wide open.

At this time.

A strand of spiritual power surrounded the Insect Demon Grass in his arms and fell into the array center of the hall.

”Hiss, hiss, hiss”

The following Pork Spirit Beasts madly crawled into the main hall.

The Zhang Family’s Mountain Protection Array’s central hub was instantly destroyed.

Buzz!

The overturned light shield of the Mountain Protection Array shattered.

A torrential rain poured down.

”What’s happening?!”

”It’s an enemy attack!”

”Quick, report to the Clan Leader!”

In an instant.

The entire Zhang Family was thrown into chaos.

The mindless Pork Spirit Beasts, after consuming the Insect Demon Grass, began to madly attack the Zhang Family cultivators.

Fu Changsheng slipped into the Spirit Medicine Garden amidst the chaos, discovering that the garden was divided into several plots, each with a simple defense array, and the smallest plot was located inside.

When he had entered the Spirit Medicine Garden of the Niuteng Tribe previously.

It was often the highest-tier Spirit Medicine that occupied the least space.

Right then, with a wave of his sword-point, his flying sword spun around, transforming mid-air into a giant sword slashing towards the light shield, accompanied by cracking sounds, the array light shield shattered in response.

Revealing a Black Spirit Tea Tree, three to four meters tall, before his eyes.

The new shoots growing on the tea tree were perfectly ripe for picking.

This was a Tier One High-Grade Black Spirit Tea.

With this tea tree, he had hopes of breaking through to the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation.

He promptly formed a technique with his right hand, executing the Five Spirits Transport Technique, only to see strands of spirit light condense at the base of the tea tree, and with a change of his technique, he lightly chanted:

”Rise!”

Rumble.

The Black Spirit Tea Tree was suddenly uprooted with soil and all.

A technique was infused into the tea tree, which continuously shrunk and fell into a white-based leaf pattern box suspended in the air, and once everything was in order.

Suddenly.

A roar rang out from the sky:

”Vile beast, meet your end!”

Looking up.

Suddenly, an old Taoist holding a flying sword was entangled in a fight with a Tier One Peak Pork Spirit Beast. This old Taoist turned out to be the secluded Elder Zhang.

The opponent possessed Peak Qi Cultivation.

The Black Spirit Tea Tree was in hand.

Without any delay, Fu Changsheng executed the Ascension Step to leave, but before departing the Spirit Medicine Garden, he maneuvered his flying sword to break open the light shield of the medicine field. Simultaneously, he split the last Insect Demon Grass into five parts and tossed them into the medicine field.

”Hiss, hiss, hiss!”

The Pork Spirit Beast, who was entangled with the Zhang Family cultivators, sensed the Insect Demon Grass once more and immediately charged towards the Spirit Medicine Garden, ignoring everything else.

Fu Changsheng donned the Invisibility Cloak and, with a splash, dove into Moon Lake, quickly retracing his steps back to the secret passage. According to the techniques taught by Grandmaster Yu, he cast Daoist techniques on the protruding stones, lighting them up with spirit light and resealing the entrance.

After finishing everything.

He rushed back to Luofeng Mountain without stopping.

The battle at the Zhang Family persisted for most of the day. Without the allure of the Insect Demon Grass, the Pork Spirit Beast gradually regained its senses and flew away.

The Zhang Family cultivators suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, Zhang Huanzhi was seeing red with rage:

”Chase them down; not a single one of these vile beasts can be allowed to leave alive.”

Including Elder Zhang, the Zhang Family had six Late Stage Qi Cultivation members, two of whom died, one had their dantian emptied, and most critically, their only Tier One High-Grade Array Master, Zhang Huanliu, also perished in this disaster.

The seventy acres of the Spirit Medicine Garden were completely destroyed by the Pork Spirit Beast.

After painstaking cultivation, there was no yield of spirit medicine!

Before Zhang Huanzhi’s words fell.

Elder Zhang put away his flying sword and snorted coldly:

”If we pursue further, do you want all our Zhang Family cultivators to be annihilated at Niushou Mountain today?!”

Now that the Zhang Family’s Mountain Protection Array has been destroyed.

If the nearby Loose Cultivators or the neighboring Fu Family charged in and looted, that would be the true calamity.

Zhang Huanzhi came back to his senses, shuddered, regained clarity, and hastily arranged for the clansmen to tidy up the battlefield. The most critical task was to get the Mountain Protection Array operational.

The Zhang Family was busy for several days.

By the time the array was raised, the rare centennial rain in Anyang County finally stopped. Zhang Huanzhi stood in the conference hall, clutching remnants of the Insect Demon Grass in his hand, saying resentfully:

”Elder, this Pork Spirit Beast was obviously lured into our Moon Lake by someone with a purpose, and the one most familiar with the terrain of Niushou Mountain was the Fu Family, who once attacked the Li Family with the Shangguan Family.”

”The disaster caused by the Pork Spirit Beast must be the doing of that little bastard Fu Changsheng!”

”Elder, we need Yuanyuan to persuade the Shangguan Family to uphold justice for us, to make the Fu Family pay in blood!”

Repeatedly humiliated by the Fu Family.

At this time, Zhang Huanzhi wished he could rush to Luofeng Mountain and kill every last one of those Fu Family brats.

Sitting at the head, Elder Zhang slowly opened his eyes, gazing firmly at Zhang Huanzhi.

The reason he had allowed Zhang Huanzhi to assume the position of clan leader was that he had a good daughter married to Shangguan Hui as a Dao Companion. However, in the years at Niushou Mountain—

Zhang Huanzhi repeatedly made foolish mistakes.

Elder Zhang had no idea that Zhang Huanzhi had secretly left a Wind Killing Array hazard in the stone caves of the back mountain. Zhang Huanzhi thought he was clever, but the Fu Family exploited this loophole to directly and stealthily reach the Yellow Dragon.

The calamity of the Pork Spirit Beast.

Directly cost the Zhang Family sixteen Qi Cultivation clan members, causing severe damage to their vital energy.

In the present situation.

The Zhang Family urgently needed to recuperate, waiting quietly for the Noble Family Grand Competition at the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss half a year later. If they won the champion and obtained resources from Qingcheng Mountain, their hopes of recovery would be rekindled.

Elder Zhang looked at the reddened face of Zhang Huanzhi, closed his eyes in disappointment, and said indifferently:

”Shangguan Hui is severely injured and secluded, currently surrounded by enemies and unable to fend for himself. Yuanyuan has no spare energy to care for our Zhang Family. You must issue an order: from today on, our Zhang Family will seal the mountain for half a year until the day of the Noble Family Grand Competition.”

Zhang Huanzhi wanted to say more.

But Elder Zhang had already left the meeting.

Zhang Huanzhi could only glower angrily in the direction of Luofeng Mountain:

”Fu Changsheng, you wait for me!”

Half a year later.

The Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss will be your burial ground!

.....

The news of the Zhang Family territory being attacked by the Pork Spirit Beast quickly spread to the other three major families in Anyang County.

Liu Qingyun, while counting his hoarded Spirit Stones, heard the report from his spies and gleefully remarked:

”The Zhang Family is truly unfortunate. Of all places to choose, they picked Niushou Mountain for their territory. That place clearly has poor Feng Shui, or else the Li Family wouldn’t have been exterminated.”

.....

Upon hearing the news, the Lei Clan Leader knocked on the table, inquiring in detail how the Pork Spirit Beast infiltrated the Zhang Family’s territory, finally narrowing his eyes slightly:

”Diverting disaster eastward, it seems the rise of the Fu Family isn’t solely reliant on the big tree Shangguan Feng.”

But it’s still good.

With this event.

The conflict between the Zhang and Fu families deepened. Without his provocation, the two families would already be fighting fiercely at the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, and if he guessed correctly, to completely eliminate Fu Changsheng, Elder Zhang would definitely personally lead the team into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss.

In this manner.

Fu Changsheng has no chance of survival.

The Lei Clan Leader leisurely picked up a tea cup and took a sip. Regardless of the outcome, his Lei Family would maintain their comfortable position.

....

As soon as Fu Changsheng returned to the territory from Niushou Mountain, a familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind:

”Ding!”
