Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: He’s Still Alive—Who Will Take the Prize?

Fu Changsheng was just about to count the soul crystals in his storage bag when a sudden buzzing sound came from his waist, and a jade talisman floated up from his sleeve.

At the same time.

The jade talismans held by everyone present floated above their heads.

Clearly, the three-month period for entering the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss had arrived.

Buzz!

A thousand white lights descended from the jade talismans, enveloping everyone, and then a familiar dizziness struck.

They had entered the transmission vortex.

After a period of chaos.

Everyone landed on the ground one after another from the vortex, Molan and others were unsteady, their faces pale.

Only Fu Changsheng appeared slightly unaccustomed but looked quite refreshed.

Six Foundation Establishment cultivators casting spells glanced at Fu Changsheng with surprise.

The Fourth Elder of the Shangguan Family also took a special look at Fu Changsheng, murmuring to himself:

”No wonder the Grand Elder treats this child so favorably; turns out he’s exceptionally talented.”

Others may not see it, but as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he knew that Fu Changsheng had developed Divine Sense, which prevented him from feeling nauseated like the other Qi cultivators.

When the Southwest District people emerged, they arrived in the east, and silhouettes flashed from the vortex.

Liuu Clan Leader Liuu Qingyun stood firm, subconsciously looking toward the Southwest District, and when he saw the four members of the Fu Family emerge unscathed, he was briefly stunned, then cursed under his breath:

”What kind of luck did these Fu Family short-lived ghosts have to escape Elder Zhang’s hunt?”

Suddenly.

He sensed something, and his gaze fell on Fu Changsheng again:

”Damn it, Fu Changsheng avoided a disaster and even broke through to the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer in that ghost place, Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss! What is the Zhang Family doing?!”

Thinking of this, he hurriedly searched the crowd from the Southwest District for Elder Zhang’s silhouette:

”Huh, what’s going on? Why hasn’t the Zhang Family come out?”

”Could it be that Elder Zhang got some heaven-defying opportunity inside, which delayed his emergence?”

This seemed the only possibility.

The last district’s Wu Family and Lei Family cultivators were also transmitted out successively.

Wu Clan Leader saw the four members of the Fu Family standing alive opposite him, and he was taken aback.

The Lei and Wu Families planned meticulously for this Noble Family Grand Competition, intending to send the Fu Family down the Road to the Underworld via the Zhang Family’s hand, but Fu Changsheng not only survived, he even broke through to the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer in just three months?!

Wouldn’t that mean their intricate planning was all for naught?

Especially since the Lei and Wu Families each lost a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer elder in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, wasn’t that shooting themselves in the foot?

Wu Clan Leader was filled with both anger and hatred.

The Lei Clan Leader’s eyes also flashed with a trace of astonishment.

But when he did not find Elder Zhang and his people in the Southwest District, he trembled, noticing that not a single member of the Zhang Family’s allied clan, the Qiuo Family, had emerged either, an ominous thought forming in his mind.

Just at that moment.

All three clan leaders’ jade talismans emitted an urgent buzzing sound.

Their communication jade talismans lit up.

Once they heard the news relayed from their clans, the three exchanged glances, then turned to Fu Changsheng with disbelief.

Liuu Qingyun’s throat went dry:

”How could this be possible?”

”Elder Zhang and Elder Qiuo were both at Peak Qi Cultivation, how could they... how could they die in that place, Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, and the two clans’ cultivators were wiped out completely?!”

”What on earth happened?”

Liuu Qingyun already had an answer in his heart but dared not believe, casting a fearful glance at Fu Changsheng, thinking for the first time that this young man was... was really someone not to provoke.

First the Li Family, now the Zhang Family kept falling hard.

Liuu Qingyun’s mind raced, pondering whether the three thousand Spirit Stone bride price should be returned to the Fu Family:

”No, impossible, these Spirit Stones once received cannot be returned.”

Moreover, as long as he could purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill and break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, there was no need to fear this young Fu Changsheng, thinking so, Liuu Qingyun immediately straightened his back.

Elsewhere.

Wu Clan Leader’s pupils dilated in shock, his voice trembling:

”Cousin, could it be that Fu Changsheng killed the Qiuo Family and Zhang Family people? Impossible, Fu Changsheng was only at Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer when he entered the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, and the other three from the Fu family are like kittens, even with the Qiuo and Zhang families combined, even Elder Zhang alone could crush them!”

Inside, the Lei Clan Leader’s mind was also in turmoil.

Though he didn’t know how Fu Changsheng managed to annihilate the Zhang and Qiuo families within the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss, this young man was definitely not as simple as he had thought.

The Lei Clan Leader’s eyes narrowed slightly, immediately thought of something, sneered and quickly communicated with Wu Clan Leader:

”Though Fu Changsheng has some skills, he’s ultimately young, offending the Zhang Family is one thing, but the Qiuo Family isn’t like the Zhang Family, we’ll just sit back and enjoy the show.”

The Qiuo Family has deep roots, even though losing several high-tier combat powers including Elder Qiuo, the backbone of the clan remains, which the few members of the Fu Family cannot withstand.

Next.

The Fu Family should brace for the Qiuo Family’s wild revenge.

Wu Clan Leader heard this and immediately chuckled.

The Lei Clan Leader’s face regained its scholarly, proper smile:

”Fu Clan Leader, Liuu Clan Leader, now that everyone’s out, let’s proceed to the Task Hall to count the soul crystals.”

It’s time to reveal the soul crystals, showing the Fu and Liuu Families the Lei Family’s prowess, proving that the Lei Family’s position as the head of the Five Great Families is well-earned.

The four clan leaders entered the Task Hall side by side, stopping at the registration table of Shangguan Yui, with Wu Clan Leader speaking first:

”Our Wu Family didn’t slay any ghost soldiers in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss.”

Following this.

Wu Clan Leader gave a smug glance at Fu Changsheng.

Everyone knew the Wu Family had given all the soul crystals obtained in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss to the Lei Family.

”Conniving bastards” Liuu Qingyun couldn’t stand Wu Clan Leader’s smug demeanor, as someone who always accompanied the Crown Prince in the Noble Family Grand Competition with nothing to show for it, he naturally had no pleasant expressions, said gruffly: ”Our Liuu Family didn’t capture any ghost soldiers either.”

There was no surprise at Liuu Qingyun’s words.

After all, Liuu Qingyun had spent the past few years frantically gathering Spirit Stones, everyone knew he was aiming for the Foundation Establishment Pill auction at Wanning Marketplace, surely he sold any soul crystals at a high price to other cultivator clans in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Abyss.

All eyes turned to Fu Changsheng and the Lei Clan Leader.

The Lei Clan Leader took a step forward without hesitation, cupped hands toward Shangguan Yui, then tapped his storage bag, with a flash of Dawn Light, several boxes appeared on the registration table.

As the registration steward, Shangguan Yui took a rough glance, finding over a hundred boxes, even if each box held only two soul crystals, the total was close to three hundred, an undoubtedly terrifying number.

Clearly.

In this Anyang County Noble Family Grand Competition, the Lei Family would continue to hold the top position.

Shangguan Yui quickly glanced at Fu Changsheng, transmitting, ”Hongyu had a message for you: A single win or loss doesn’t mean anything, she believes with your ability and potential, you can stun the world one day.”

In the face of absolute strength.

Even Shangguan Hongyu believed that in this Noble Family Grand Competition, the Fu Family was bound to lose.
