Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 247: Chapter 159: Centipede Mother, Huge Reward, Pleasant Surprise

”The opportunity meant for me, Ping Yuntian, has finally arrived!”

Ping Yuntian was so excited that he was nearly in tears. When he first embarked on his path of cultivation, the clan’s resources were heavily tilted towards the clan’s three prodigies, leaving him with very little. Although the prodigies eventually fell, by then he was already advanced in years, and the clan refocused its efforts on other promising young talents.

He thought he would spend his whole life in such obscurity.

But who would have thought?

Heaven took pity on him.

Even Ping Yuntian could encounter a heaven-defying opportunity.

In that moment, he directed the Immortal Crane to swiftly descend the mountain.

Eager to discover what kind of treasure had emerged, causing such a commotion, he couldn’t wait any longer.

Just as he landed steadily.

Three towering yellow pillars of light reversed course.

With a buzzing sound!

They transformed into a yellow light shield, enveloping the entire Wangniu Mountain:

”This....”

Wasn’t it the manifestation of a treasure?

It’s a trap!

Terrible!

Ping Yuntian was greatly shocked. With his right hand, he formed a seal, shooting silken threads of silver from his fingertips that landed on the light shield. The yellow light shield trembled gently with a buzz but didn’t move at all!

This was a Tier One Top-Grade technique capable of killing a late-stage Qi Cultivator.

It’s over, it’s over!

This is clearly a Tier Two Array.

Only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could have set this trap.

In a flash of realization.

Fu Changsheng’s figure emerged in Ping Yuntian’s mind:

”It’s him!”

Despicable!

A dignified Foundation Establishment Cultivator, conducting affairs in such a sneaky, disreputable manner.

Just a moment ago, he was dreaming of soaring to great heights with this opportunity, but in the next moment, he plunged into despair, realizing his life might come to an end soon.

At the critical moment.

He hurriedly took out the Communication Jade Talisman.

However.

Before he could act.

”Roar!”

A sudden sound wave struck from above.

Without having cultivated his Divine Sense, Ping Yuntian only felt his vision go black and then fell straight to the ground.

Autumn Cicada, draped in white, descended gently.

After refining the Divine Souls of three Foundation Establishment cultivators, Autumn Cicada’s aura had reached a quasi-Second-Tier level, poised to break into the Tier Two at any moment; dealing with a late-stage Qi Cultivator was a trivial task for her.

”Chirp!”

Seeing its master attacked, the Immortal Crane immediately opened its beak.

A Water Arrow shot rapidly towards Autumn Cicada.

Clang!

The Water Arrow was blocked by the Celestial Thunder Sword, shattering with a crack.

Fu Changsheng emerged from underground, pointing at the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower. From the first layer of the tower, a suction force immediately emanated, and amid reluctant cries, the Immortal Crane was reduced to a white light and drawn inside.

At the same time.

A familiar mechanical voice echoed in Fu Changsheng’s mind:

”Ding”

”For capturing a Tier One Late Stage Immortal Crane for the clan, you’ve earned thirty Contribution Points.”

In the next instant.

The Contribution Points on the panel updated to one hundred eighty-six.

”Yippee!”

Brother Rong on the flying ship was displeased with Fu Changsheng for storing the Immortal Crane in the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower. He had been starving for years and was ravenously hungry.

Fu Changsheng smiled and said:

”Let’s go down and sate your appetite.”

With those words.

He waved his hand.

Retrieving the flying ship into his pouch.

Carrying Brother Rong, he landed on Xiaoqing’s back, and with a flick of its tail, the Little Cyan Snake transformed into a mass of cyan light, burrowing underground.

Several hundred feet underground, they saw Grandmaster Yu standing in front of a Fire Wall.

Fu Changsheng pointed at the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower.

Buzzing sounds.

Spirit-devouring Insects flew out from the tower.

Clinging to the Fire Wall.

Not long after.

The Fire Wall was gnawed away.

A long tunnel appeared before them.

The vibrations from the array setup.

Made the Hundred-legged Black Beetles in the tunnel uneasy, crawling restlessly back and forth.

”Eat, eat, eat!”

Upon seeing the swarm of Hundred-legged Black Beetles.

Brother Rong muttered his first word, and then the mark on his forehead kept flashing. With a boom, a mass of blazing flames burst forth, and Brother Rong disappeared instantly, turning instead into a Fireball.

With a buzz, the Fireball.

Immediately rushed into the midst of the Hundred-legged Black Beetles.

”Yippee-ya!”

The Hundred-legged Black Beetles, sensing external invasion, tensed their abdomens and fired arrows densely towards Brother Rong, who had intruded into the tunnel.

”Brother Rong!”

Even though Fu Changsheng, now at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, witnessed this scene, his palms sweated. Since Brother Rong appeared to him as a child, how could he withstand this wave of attacks? Instinctively, he was about to lend a hand.

But Grandmaster Yu pointed at the Array Hub.

Instantly, brilliant white mist lit up within the tunnel. Each Hundred-legged Black Beetle blinked its tiny green bean-sized eyes in confusion as they found themselves unexpectedly dropped from the tunnel into an endless expanse of yellow sand.

Tap, tap, tap!

As the arrows lost control.

They fell feebly to the ground.

”Yippee!”

Excited cries came from Brother Rong, who had turned into a Fireball, and then countless filamentous tendrils shot out from within the Fireball, extending swiftly like lightning, piercing through the chins of the dazed Hundred-legged Black Beetles.

”Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!”

Like flames searing.

The Essence Blood of the Hundred-legged Black Beetles was astonishingly siphoned through the long tendrils, feeding into the Fireball. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Hundred-legged Black Beetles in the tunnel were devoured!

”Burp”

From within the Fireball.

Brother Rong let out a satisfied burp.

Seeing the heaps of Hundred-legged Black Beetle carcasses, Fu Changsheng’s eyes flickered with incredulity. To instantly devour such a vast amount of Demon Beast Essence Blood, Xiaoqing paled in comparison.

”Roar!”

At that moment.

An angry roar came from within the tunnel.
