Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 80: Chapter 80: The Mysterious Gift and Mother’s Old Acquaintance

”Fu Clan Leader, what are you waiting for!”

Granny Yu saw that everyone was on the flying ship, but Fu Changsheng had not yet activated the flying ship to leave, and she couldn’t help but feel anxious.

At this moment.

The Quasi-Second-Tier Thousand-legged Ghost Centipede in the Ant Hill seemed to sense something, let out an angry roar, and transformed into a blood light that rushed underground.

”Oh no!”

The Little Cyan Snake has been discovered.

At the same time.

With a crunching sound, the light curtain of the Yellow Sand Trapping Array shattered with a bang.

Hundreds of Thousand-legged Ghost Centipedes rushed toward the flying ship.

Fu Changsheng cast a technique on the flying ship, causing it to shine a white light, then vanished. The rushing Thousand-legged Ghost Centipedes paused in confusion.

It was then.

”Roar!”

From underground came the angry roar of the Thousand-legged Ghost Centipede.

The bodies of the Thousand-legged Ghost Centipedes in the mountain trembled.

They turned around and burrowed underground.

Fu Changsheng’s Divine Sense moved, and his eyes lit up. He immediately activated the flying ship, stopping it on the west side, only to see a flash of cyan light spring out from the mountain, gently landing on the flying ship.

Without hesitation, Fu Changsheng cast a technique on the flying ship.

Buzz!

The flying ship transformed into a white light and sped away.

Behind them came the roars of the Centipede King.

Fu Changsheng was puzzled. It was merely a Tier One Top-Grade Profound Iron Essence; the Centipede King’s reaction was too extreme. When he looked down, he saw the Little Cyan Snake’s belly was bulging high; after spitting out the Profound Iron Essence to Fu Changsheng, it curled into a ball, looking as if it were about to hibernate:

”This is...”

Fu Changsheng sensed it.

He discovered that the belly of the Little Cyan Snake had swallowed countless centipede eggs, which were rapidly being refined.

The Little Cyan Snake had devoured all the Centipede King’s offspring.

No wonder the Centipede King was so furious.

With a wave of his sleeve, Fu Changsheng put the Little Cyan Snake into the Spirit Beast Bag, knowing that once it digested all the centipede eggs, it should be able to break through to Tier One Peak.

According to the information provided.

After breaking through, the Little Cyan Snake would also trigger a Bloodline Technique.

Fu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel expectant.

On the flying ship.

Granny Yu still looked incredulously at Fu Changsheng.

He had developed Divine Sense at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer; she had never seen such a genius before.

It’s a pity.

He is already married; otherwise, if they could ally with him, it would greatly benefit the Yu Family’s future development.

She cupped her hands to Fu Changsheng:

”If it weren’t for Fu Clan Leader’s cunning in this battle, we wouldn’t have been able to lure the Thousand-legged Ghost Centipede out of the mountain. Old Ghost Zhang and Qiuo would have escaped the Yellow Sand Trapping Array by now. Many thanks to Fu Clan Leader for helping us eliminate a great enemy for the Yu Family; in the future, the Fu Family...”

Granny Yu wanted to say more.

Yet she saw Fu Changsheng’s face change, hurriedly casting a technique on the flying ship, which abruptly shifted direction in mid-air.

At that moment.

At the spot where the flying ship had paused, a skull soared directly through.

In mid-air.

Came a cold voice:

”Heh heh, quick reaction indeed.”

Fu Changsheng sharply looked up.

He saw.

Above them.

A frail old man stood in mid-air, controlling a sword. Three skulls circled around him.

Sword Control.

This is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?!

Fu Changsheng was panic-stricken.

Granny Yu, upon seeing him, shrank her pupils:

”Ouyang Fei, you’re still alive!”

Ouyang Fei was from Pingshan County.

Originally hailing from the Ouyang Clan, one of the six major families of Pingshan County, though born of the clan leader’s lineage, his mother came from a brothel.

Back then, the Lady of the Ouyang Clan was from the Ninth-Grade Noble Family, the Ping Family. She was jealous and malicious, and with her noble status, she did as she pleased in the Ouyang Family.

Learning that the Ouyang Clan Leader had left an illegitimate child in the brothel.

She immediately ordered the entire brothel to be burned to the ground.

Ouyang Fei’s mother perished in the flames.

But Ouyang Fei was picked up and adopted by a Loose Cultivator known as Poison Madman; though claiming him as a foster son, he was really used for testing poisons. Ouyang Fei spent twenty years with the Poison Madman.

He didn’t die.

Instead, he poisoned the Poison Madman to death.

Somehow, Ouyang Fei acquired a Demon Cultivation Technique, secretly acknowledged his kinship with the Ouyang Clan Leader, and returned to the Ouyang Family incognito for five years.

During a clan-wide sacrificial ceremony.

He unleashed demon skills and refined the entire Ouyang Clan.

The Ping Family was furious.

Placed a hefty reward on Ouyang Fei’s head.

Within three days.

The Ping Family hunted down and killed Ouyang Fei.

Fifteen years have passed since the incident, and Granny Yu never expected him to not only survive, but to have successfully reached Foundation Establishment.

”Heh heh, didn’t expect that after fifteen years, some still remember me. Since that’s the case, I’ll leave you unsullied corpses today!”

With that.

Ouyang Fei flicked his index finger.

The three skulls around him whooshed toward the flying ship, this time using the Sixth Level of Dharma Power, moving so fast that Fu Changsheng couldn’t change the direction of the flying ship.

However.

While the other was talking with Granny Yu.

Her Seven Treasures Umbrella had already been summoned.

”Bang bang bang”

The flying skulls were immediately reflected back by the treasure light.

At this moment.

Fu Changsheng held the Seven Treasures Umbrella.

His sleeve fell.

The Cyan Lotus Birthmark on the back of his right hand was exposed.

Ouyang Fei on the flying sword saw the Cyan Lotus Birthmark, his body shook, and he raised his hand to summon back the skulls, suspiciously examining Fu Changsheng, a flash of recollection and contemplation in his eyes:

”Has quite a resemblance.”

”Boy, are you from the Fu Clan Leader’s lineage of Luofeng Mountain in Anyang County?”

His tone softened significantly.

The killing intent vanished.

Fu Changsheng’s throat moved, his mind raced; though he didn’t understand why the other suddenly gave up his murderous intent, he knew it was a chance for the five of them, calmly saying:

”Fu Changsheng, the thirty-eighth generation Clan Leader of Luofeng Mountain greets Elder Ouyang.”

Before he finished speaking.

Ouyang Fei’s figure flashed, and in the next instant, he appeared beside him, lifting his right hand to examine the Cyan Lotus Birthmark on the back, muttering:

”So, the child of an old acquaintance.”

With that.

He gave Fu Changsheng an upward and downward glance, with a reminiscent look in his eyes, then tapped his storage bag, a box floated over to Fu Changsheng:

”This is a meeting gift, take it. Farewell until we meet again.”

Saying that.

A black light flashed.

There was no more sign of Ouyang Fei in the air.

Fu Changsheng didn’t even have time to inquire about his mother’s news.

The others escaped danger, collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment.

Fu Changsheng recovered first, hurriedly casting a technique on the flying ship, driving it at maximum speed toward the Ancient Battlefield.

Clearly.

The commotion at the Ant Hill had undoubtedly attracted Ouyang Fei.

Having gotten past Ouyang Fei.

He had no desire to face another roadblock.

On the same flying ship, Granny Yu glanced once more at Fu Changsheng’s hidden right hand, curious about who Fu Changsheng’s mother was exactly, and why she was an old acquaintance of Ouyang Fei.

However.

Fu Changsheng didn’t say.

Naturally, she wouldn’t ask.

Even warned her granddaughter and grandson before Fu Changsheng’s face:

”You are to pretend you didn’t hear what Ouyang Fei just said, understand?”

If the Ping Family learned of any confusing ties between Ouyang Fei and the Fu Family, who knew if they’d take anger on the Fu Family.

Considering this.

Granny Yu couldn’t be at ease, thus took out a bottle of Forgetfulness Water from the storage bag.

She immediately drank it down.

Then she handed it to siblings Yu Qingru.

Fu Changsheng recognized the Forgetfulness Water, quite satisfied with Granny Yu’s action. At this moment, Molan, standing behind him, also reached out to take Granny Yu’s Forgetfulness Water and drank it at once.

Clearly, the fewer people who know about this incident, the better.

The four drank the Forgetfulness Water, subsequently collapsing onto the flying ship.

Fu Changsheng glanced at the white box with black patterns Ouyang Fei had given him, suppressing the urge to open it immediately, and fully drove the flying ship into the Ancient Battlefield.

Once again, the familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind:

”Ding”
