Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 482: Chapter 237: The Beast Tide Begins, The Power of Ancient Techniques, Complete Victory

”Tier Two Red-tailed Wolves can create several doppelgangers identical to themselves using their bloodline power.

These doppelgangers not only look the same but also possess a certain degree of attack power. In battle, the Crimson Shadow Clones can distract the enemy, making it difficult for the opponent to identify the real body.

The higher the cultivation level.

The more doppelgangers the Red-tailed Wolf can transform into.”

There was a pause.

Fu Changli thought of something, flipped his right hand, and a map of the South Huai Family’s distribution appeared in mid-air.

Among them.

The location of Pingshan County is surrounded by other noble family territories, resembling a military stronghold if placed on the battlefield.

Fu Changli’s face changed:

”Patriarch, judging by the intelligence of these Red-tailed Wolves, their intended destination is likely our Pingshan County.”

Fu Changsheng was quite surprised and glanced at Fu Changli.

Unexpectedly.

The girl had actually analyzed it correctly.

Fu Changli felt her palm continuously sweating:

”Patriarch, if you hadn’t provided intelligence in time, caught off guard, I’m afraid the day the Red-tailed Wolves attack the mountain would have been the day we fall.”

Fu Molan and others nodded in agreement.

The five of them discussed for a while.

After setting the response strategy, ten days flashed by in the blink of an eye.

Fu Changsheng sat upright beside the Array Hub, calculating the time. According to the system-provided intelligence, today was the day the Red-tailed Wolves would attack the mountain.

Since the Red-tailed Wolves do not appear during the day.

It is likely they chose to attack during the dark night with high winds:

”Truly cunning!”

Fu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly.

....

Meanwhile.

A pack of Red-tailed Wolves was quietly advancing toward the mountain gate of Pingshan County.

At the front of the group were twenty-six Tier Two Red-tailed Wolves, like the commanders of this Red-tailed Wolf army, with cunning and wisdom shining in their eyes.

Each Tier Two Red-tailed Wolf is more robust than the ordinary ones. Their red fur glows with a blood-like sheen under the faint starlight, and their tails are as vibrant as burning flames.

At a distance of six miles from the mountain gate.

The entire pack suddenly came to a halt.

They slightly hunched their bodies, emitting low growls, and the spiritual power within them surged forth.

In an instant, strands of crimson mist emanated from their surroundings, like nimble little snakes rapidly spreading in all directions. Soon, the mist thickened and gathered into a large Red Mist Barrier.

Under the cover of this red mist, the entire Red-tailed Wolf pack began to move silently.

The red mist drifted with the wolf pack’s movement, like a demon-controlled red ocean, rolling and surging endlessly. The wolf pack appeared intermittently in the red mist, their silhouettes completely concealed by this eerie mist, as if they were ghosts from a dark world, stealthily approaching the mountain gate of Pingshan County under the veil of night and mist.

”They’re coming!”

At the Array Hub.

Yu Qingru tapped the Phosphorescent Mirror before her, the mirror vibrated slightly, followed by the appearance of numerous closely-packed red dots.

A few days ago.

They had set up a Spirit Lock Demon Trapping Array at the foot of the mountain.

As one Red-tailed Wolf after another stepped into the array, Fu Changsheng couldn’t help but smile.

However.

Upon closer inspection.

He saw twenty-six noticeably larger red dots just standing afar outside the array with no intention of entering.

Yu Qingru frowned:

”Changsheng, should we activate the array?”

”No, let’s proceed with our second plan. If I’m right, those other twenty-six that aren’t entering the Spirit Lock Demon Trapping Array are likely Tier Two Red-tailed Wolves.”

Twenty-six Tier Two Red-tailed Wolves, and those guarding the mountain gate, excluding spirit pets, have only four Foundation Establishment individuals. The disparity in power is huge. Not to mention obliterating this pack of Red-tailed Wolves, one careless move and they would become the prey.

Hundreds of Tier One Red-tailed Wolves circled the mountain gate, finally settling on the west side, the weakest point of the entire Mountain Protection Array.

Something strange occurred.

A human voice emerged from the Red-tailed Wolves: ”Brother, I’ve just completed my mission and returned late, please open the array and let me in.”

Although the voice was heard, the person was not seen.

Fu Yongqi, on duty at the mountain gate, was unaware of Fu Changsheng and the Foundation Establishment cultivators’ plan. Upon hearing this, he said:

”Little brother, it’s hard on you, but please step forward and, according to the rules, pass the Demon-Repelling Mirror test before entry.”

”As it should be, as it should be.”

After a while.

A man in white walked up to the mountain gate’s light curtain, Fu Yongqi glanced and smiled:

”So it’s Seventh Brother, weren’t you escorting the clansmen back to Demon-Defying City? Why the rush to return overnight?”

As he spoke.

He raised the Demon-Repelling Mirror.

Seventh Brother glared at him: ”Yongqi, you fool, didn’t we just do the test, doing it again!”

Fu Yongqi blinked.

Vaguely.

He seemed to recall testing Seventh Brother, and without hesitation, cast a Technique onto the Passage Order.

The Array Light Curtain surged.

A momentary gap appeared.

Fu Yongqi saw a wisp of mist drift past: ”Strange, why is there suddenly fog?”

...

At the Array Hub.

Yu Qingru was also struck with fear upon witnessing this.

The Red-tailed Wolf’s Red Mist Barrier was far too overpowering; Fu Yongqi hadn’t realized he was merely conversing with the air.

If they hadn’t prepared.

Perhaps.

This mountain gate would indeed have been overtaken by the Red-tailed Wolves.

Fu Changsheng focused nervously on the Phosphorescent Mirror; the Tier One Red-tailed Wolves had entered the mountain gate, yet the twenty-six Tier Two Red-tailed Wolves seemed to be waiting for something at their original location.
