Hee Jingdong laughed wildly:
"A re Tier Two Low-Grade Array, and you wish to trap this old man? It’s still a bit too naive!"
With that,
he soared into the sky.
As the Grand Elder of the Hee Family, he had been outwitted by a young brat. Though it was of no great consequence, it would certainly be a loss of face if news spread. At this mont, his desire to kill Fu Changsheng had reached its peak.
Hee Jingdong took flight.
Cao Sijun, however, felt sothing was amiss.
So he hesitated for a mont and chose to stay put.
Suddenly,
an abrupt change occurred in the sky.
Just as Hee Jingdong broke free of the array.
"Roar!"
A demon sound descended from above, and Hee Jingdong, with no escape, was imdiately enveloped by it. Frost spread around his entire body, turning him into a cocoon that imprisoned him within. The crazy expression on Hee Jingdong’s face remained, frozen as if petrified.
In truth,
his Divine Soul was instantly destroyed!
"This..."
Divine Soul Attack!
And it was Tier Two.
Cao Sijun watched this scene, feeling chills through his body.
Had he followed Hee Jingdong out of the array, he would have faced the sa fate. Sche after sche, Cao Sijun now had no mind for capturing Fu Changsheng’s secrets. With a flip of his right hand, a Teleportation Spirit Talisman appeared, ready to be crushed to leave this place.
Suddenly,
pain surged from below.
Looking down,
he saw that while his attention was on Hee Jingdong, a patch of blood had appeared beneath his feet at so unknown ti. The blood had silently stained his legs, and the red color continued to creep upward.
Without a second thought, Cao Sijun swung his Sword Point.
Two Sword Auras flashed out, cutting through his thighs and halting the spread of the blood.
In that brief delay,
boom!
A flash of lightning streaked across.
Imdiately,
he only saw a blur before his eyes.
An Exorcism Divine Thunder suddenly struck him.
Without even a chance to activate the Teleportation Spirit Talisman in his hand, his entire body was reduced to a charred corpse, unmistakably dead.
At this ti,
a man and woman slowly erged from the forest.
It was Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Hongyu, who was responsible for setting up and controlling the array.
Seeing Cao Sijun reduced to charcoal, Shangguan Hongyu’s eyes still bore a hint of shock: "Changsheng, the power of your Exorcism Divine Thunder is akin to a Tier Three Spiritual Art; beneath the Purple Mansion, none could withstand it."
It was Fu Changsheng’s first ti using this Divine Thunder.
Inspecting his dantian internally,
he found his mana was more than half depleted.
Though the Exorcism Divine Thunder was powerful, it also consud an enormous amount of mana, such that an ordinary Late-Stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator likely couldn’t wield it.
It’s worth noting,
the dantian he developed with the "Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique" was several tis that of an ordinary Foundation Establishnt cultivator, naturally containing several tis the mana of others.
With a wave of Fu Changsheng’s sleeve,
he collected the two corpses on the ground into his pouch:
"Miss Hongyu, this place is not safe; let’s go!"
"Mm!"
The two traveled through the Peach Blossom Grove and descended at Qianyun Mountain, where Shangguan Hongyu took out a Survey Array Plate to locate the array set by Cao Sijun and Hee Jingdong.
Fu Changsheng felt grateful he had refreshed his intelligence information before setting out.
Upon learning that Cao Sijun and Hee Jingdong had set an ambush trap at Qianyun Mountain, with the Yin Yang Double Fiend lurking in Plum Blossom Grove, he quickly contacted Shangguan Hongyu, asking her to reach Plum Blossom Grove and Cangling Mountain the fastest possible to set up the array. To buy ti, he deliberately stopped to rest every night.
At last, there was ample ti for Shangguan Hongyu to set the array.
The subsequent series of actions were naturally to lure and kill the Yin Yang Double Fiend, Cao Xuejun, and Hee Jingdong.
With foreknowledge,
and because,
the four thought he had only established his Foundation recently and posed no threat, they let down their guard, giving him an opportunity to exploit.
At this mont,
a familiar chanical sound echoed in his mind:
"Ding"
"You have eliminated two hidden dangers for the Fu Family, earning one hundred and forty Contribution Points."
Soon after,
the clan Contribution Points on the panel changed to two hundred.
At that mont,
Shangguan Hongyu also detected the array that Cao Sijun and Hee Jingdong had set.
Shangguan Hongyu cast techniques at various array hubs, causing array flags to fly up and land in her palm, as her phoenix-like eyes smiled:
"Changsheng, this is an attack-type Tier Two Middle-Grade Wind Thunder Joint Attack Array."
Just this array alone was worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
Upon hearing this, Fu Changsheng still felt a bit fearful; had it not been for the intelligence providing information, falling into this array would have been a near-death situation.
This certainly wasn’t a place of good fortune:
"Hongyu, let’s go"
The two traveled through the night.
Early the next morning, they arrived at Wanning Marketplace.
This year, on duty at Wanning Marketplace was the Seventh Elder of the Gongsun Family. When he saw Fu Changsheng appear at the marketplace unhard, his pupils shrank. He turned to find a secluded spot, casting a technique that impacted the Communication Jade Talisman:
"Patriarch, Fu Changsheng appeared safely at Wanning Marketplace, accompanied by Shangguan Hongyu!"
...
Gongsun Family.
The Gongsun Clan Leader, ditating in the Secret Chamber, was visibly stunned upon receiving the ssage:
"What’s going on?"
According to the information he received,
both the Cao Family and the Hee Family had deployed a Late-Stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator. With two Late-Stage cultivators working together, they allowed Fu Changsheng to appear safely at the marketplace:
"Useless!"
"They’re all useless!"
The Gongsun Clan Leader narrowed his eyes slightly.
The Cao Family and Hee Family could be excused.
But what about the Yin Yang Double Fiend? Didn’t they take action?
At this mont,
a person in a black robe hurriedly entered the Secret Chamber, a look of incredulity on his face as he spoke:
