Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 470: Chapter 258: The Zhang Family is Wiped Out, Gained a Fifth-Grade Opportunity_2

Their storage bags contain more than just the Great Wilderness Dragon Ridge.

They also hold numerous spirit medicines, elixirs, and spirit stones.

All combined, this raised his wealth to a staggering five million.

”If we can eliminate the Zhang Family, the wealth we can gain might be even more.”

Jiang Fan squinted his eyes.

He hadn’t forgotten the previous message from the Fortune-Telling Talisman, suggesting that he should watch and wait, and he would survive the calamity.

For the past three months, he had been cultivating in seclusion.

He also restrained the Zhu Family cultivators, advising them not to act recklessly.

He felt that the day of reaping the rewards would not be far away.

Once he could acquire the Zhang Family’s wealth, his own wealth might swell dramatically.

Then he could activate the Gate of the Void several times to find better teleportation destinations.

At this moment, the communication talisman on Jiang Fan suddenly lit up; it was a message from Zhu Bin, the elder of the Zhu Family.

”The Zhang Family has been annihilated?”

Jiang Fan glanced at the message and was immediately shocked.

Although he felt the Zhang Family’s downfall was imminent, he didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.

Thinking of this, he immediately left the quiet room and came to the Zhu Family’s hall.

At this time, many Zhu Family Foundation Establishment elders were present.

Each one looked at Jiang Fan with deep reverence.

”The ancestors truly have divine foresight.”

”We didn’t need to lift a finger, and the Zhang Family has already been wiped out.”

Great Elder Zhu Bin expressed with emotion.

”Oh, what exactly happened? Tell me in detail.”

Jiang Fan asked.

Although he knew the Zhang Family had indeed been annihilated, he didn’t know the details of the process.

”Ancestor, here’s what happened.”

”Ever since Zhang Tong, the Golden Core Zhenren of the Zhang Family, was taken out by Ancestor, we immediately spread the news.”

”Even though our Zhu Family didn’t act recklessly, it drew the covetous eyes of other Golden Core clans.”

”These Golden Core clans seized the opportunity when the Zhang Family fell leaderless, launching an attack against them.”

”Even two or three Golden Core Zhenrens reached the Zhang Family’s island.”

”But the Zhang Family proved to be fierce characters.”

”Even though they lost their Golden Core Zhenren, they were still a millennia-old Golden Core noble family with countless foundations.”

”In the end, the Zhang Family detonated a Tier Three Spirit Vein, ending in mutual destruction with those three Golden Core Zhenrens.”

”Although the Zhang Family suffered great losses from this battle, those Golden Core clans did not fare well either.”

”Not only did they fail to gain much, but they also lost their family Golden Core Zhenrens.”

”Ancestor’s move of watching from the sidelines was truly brilliant.”

”Indeed, if Ancestor hadn’t planned wisely, we would foolishly attack the Zhang Family and suffer heavy losses when they retaliate.”

Numerous Zhu Family Foundation Establishment elders discussed fervently, each deeply admiring Jiang Fan.

Previously, they were puzzled why their Ancestor, knowing the Zhang Family had lost its Golden Core Zhenren and was exceedingly weak, still refused to attack.

Now it seems Ancestor must have known the Zhang Family was formidable, deep-rooted.

If attacked rashly, they could counterattack desperately, leading to severe losses.

The other Golden Core clans were such, unable to contain their greed, resulting in significant losses.

Thus, they increasingly revered their Ancestor’s strategy, truly unfathomable.

”I see.”

Jiang Fan nodded; he now understood why the Fortune-Telling Talisman said attacking the Zhang Family was a bad omen, not expecting the seemingly weakened Zhang Family to have such a trick.

If he had rashly attacked the Zhang Family’s headquarters, he likely would have forced them to retaliate desperately, detonating the Tier Three Spirit Vein, and he would suffer great damage.

Thus, regardless, one must never underestimate any cultivator; a moment’s carelessness may lead to disaster.

Boom~~

At this moment, a message suddenly came from the depths of Jiang Fan’s sea of consciousness: ”By staying at the Zhu Family and observing quietly, avoiding participation in the Zhang Family’s eradication, you escape calamity by luck, and gain eighty thousand Luck Points and a Fifth-Grade Opportunity.”

Clearly, he effortlessly navigated through yet another ordeal.

Though it seemed easy, choosing wrongly would yield vastly different consequences.

If he had previously decided to eradicate the Zhang Family, he might have followed in the other Golden Core clans’ footsteps.

”I actually obtained a Fifth-Grade Opportunity? This is a Nascent Soul level opportunity; I wonder what treasure it might be.”

Jiang Fan anticipated eagerly, his thoughts activating as he clicked on this opportunity spot.

Another wave of information instantly merged into the depths of his sea of consciousness.

”At noon tomorrow, reach an uninhabited island fifteen hundred kilometers to the northeast to receive the Fifth-Grade Opportunity.”

His eyes shimmered, not expecting the process of receiving a Fifth-Grade Opportunity to be so simple.

However, Jiang Fan felt it might have a significant connection with the destroyed Zhang Family.

”Could this Fifth-Grade Opportunity come from the Zhang Family?”

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin, unable to prevent these speculations.

Although the Zhang Family was indeed wiped out, even a damaged ship has three nails.

Moreover, as a millennia-old Golden Core noble family with countless foundations, aware of their impending downfall, how could they not have prepared accordingly?

It’s possible the Zhang Family had already dispersed, allowing many Zhang Family direct descendants to escape, leaving behind some old or weakened cultivators on the Tier Three Island, intending mutual destruction with other Golden Core clans, thus creating opportunities for other Zhang Family descendants to escape.
