Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 458 - 229: Nine-headed Serpent Vine, Bloodlust Awakens, Underground Catacombs
After more than ten breaths.
"Chirp"
The cyan-faced white fox in front quickly emerged from the ground.
Called out to Fu Changsheng twice:
"Found it so quickly."
Fu Changsheng’s heart filled with joy, and with a flash of his body, he followed the cyan-faced white fox into the ground.
After descending a hundred zhang.
A stone wall suddenly appeared before his eyes.
The stone wall was inscribed with a God-Banning Restriction, clearly an array:
"Could the Star Stone Coffin be behind this stone wall?"
Fu Changsheng leapt out from the ground, reached the surface, and came to Yu Qingru’s side:
"Qingru, follow the cyan-faced white fox underground. A hundred zhang southwest there is a hidden array. See if you can break it. I’ll keep watch here."
"Okay"
Yu Qingru handed the control array plate to Fu Changsheng.
Fu Changsheng swept his Divine Sense over the array plate, practiced it, and quickly mastered it.
After a while.
Fu Changsheng’s Divine Sense stirred.
He looked up.
He saw that dark swarms of Tai Chi Locusts were flying over from four directions in the sky.
The number was terrifying.
Moreover.
These Tai Chi Locusts targeted this rear mountain cemetery of theirs.
With so many Tai Chi Locusts.
The Tier Two Array set up by Yu Qingru couldn’t possibly hold for long.
Fu Changsheng glanced back at Yu Qingru, who had already entered the ground. Choosing to leave now, with the speed of the Cyan Python, was still possible. But once he missed the chance, what lay underground would no longer be his.
The opportunity was rare.
Fu Changsheng’s eyes grew cold.
He pointed at the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower.
Buzz buzz buzz.
Four Tier Two Spirit-devouring Insects roared out.
The Spirit-devouring Insects’ armor was even more indestructible than the Tai Chi Locusts’.
At the same time.
The Cyan Python and Centipede Mother also flew out from the Treasure Pagoda, occupying three directions.
The Human Emperor Banner swung fiercely.
The cold wind rose.
The Autumn Cicada roared out.
Several refined Ghost Soldiers followed her, holding the array’s south side.
Fu Changsheng’s body flashed, floating above the array.
Seeing him make a mental move.
The Three-Transformation Cyan Lotus floated around him, accompanied by the technique, and its three leaves fell, transforming into a shield that protected him.
Fu Changsheng flipped his right hand.
The Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp floated in front of him, as the spell’s voice rose.
With a pop.
The Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp suddenly lit up.
Immediately thereafter.
A breath as if descending from ancient times fell from the sky:
"Chirp"
A Tri-Colored Phoenix descended.
The Tri-Colored Phoenix flapped its wings fiercely.
Boundless flames suddenly fell.
The gathered Tai Chi Locusts couldn’t avoid it at all, and under this tri-colored flame, were instantly turned into charred pieces, clattering to the ground.
The once tide-like locust wave was suddenly more than half diminished.
However.
The remaining Tier One Tai Chi Locusts, urged by the distant Tier Two Tai Chi Locusts, fearlessly flew directly underground and began devouring the energy of their dead kin.
Fu Changsheng pointed at the Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp.
The Phoenix screamed once.
Immediately flew toward the distant Tier Two Tai Chi Locusts.
Upon reaching Tier Two, the Tai Chi Locusts seemed to have gained some intelligence, even knowing the Phoenix’s power, flapping their wings to turn and flee.
At this moment.
The Phoenix’s body also trembled slightly.
Then it dispersed.
With a pop, the flame of the Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp suddenly extinguished:
"Huh?"
What’s going on?
Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment.
According to previous experiences, the higher his cultivation, the stronger and longer the summoned Phoenix’s presence would be, but it had just dispersed after a mere three breaths.
Moreover, the Phoenix’s aura was only at the threshold of quasi-Tier Three:
"Could it be that the Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp’s Phoenix summons has reached its limit?"
Or perhaps.
The Phoenix from the Upper Realm is preoccupied.
Fu Changsheng stored the Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp in his storage bag.
His Divine Sense landed on the already evolved Tier Two Tai Chi Locusts on the ground, changed the technique, and with crackling sounds, the Exorcism Divine Thunder crashed down.
The ten newly-advanced Tier Two Tai Chi Locusts were directly blasted into charred pieces.
With a flick of his sleeve.
Several Tier Two Demon Pills flew up from the ground.
Landed in his palm.
Five hundred Court Merit Points were obtained.
Adding to the previous fifty.
This trip out.
He had already amassed five hundred and fifty Court Merit Points.
The only regret was.
The Nine-Transformation Divine Lamp had a mishap.
Otherwise, with the Tri-Colored Phoenix’s assistance, clearing out the Tai Chi Locusts in the fief would have been much easier.
Meanwhile.
The Tai Chi Locusts scattered in four directions were also slain one by one by Autumn Cicada, Xiaoqing, and Da Xiong.
Fu Changsheng’s gaze fell upon the mountain down below.
Only to see four streaks of rainbow light departing at great speed from the mountain’s base.
After leaving Cao Family’s fief.
The rainbow light dissipated.
Gongsun Wen was somewhat shaken.
The moment the Tri-Colored Phoenix appeared, he clearly felt an aura faintly akin to the pressure of a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion, previously unaware of who was hiding in the rear mountain.
But just now he saw it clearly.
It was Patriarch Fu Changsheng of the Fu Family:
"That Fu Changsheng can summon the Tri-Colored Phoenix in battle!!"
Gongsun Wen felt a chill down his spine.
Fortunately, he hadn’t acted directly, instead going to great lengths to incite the Tai Chi Locusts to attack, otherwise, it would likely have been he who died under the Tri-Colored Phoenix’s claws.
After calming down.
Gongsun Wen’s eyes slightly narrowed:
"It seems that the Fu Family’s rapid rise must be thanks to that treasure capable of summoning the Tri-Colored Phoenix."
Such a treasure.
In Fu Changsheng’s hands, it’s simply wasted.
If he could possess such a treasure, he would have conquered his domain long ago:
"I must find a way to get this treasure!"
.....
Fu Changsheng watched the four streaks of rainbow light in the distance.
Looked back at the cemetery.
Did not give chase.
However.
Without a moment’s hesitation, his intent moved:
"Exchange information"
Buzz!
The panel trembled.
An influx of yellow light surged.
Immediately thereafter.
Lines of text appeared:
[1: The insect tide just now was incited by Gongsun Wen, aiming to use the tide to eliminate you two. Upon seeing the power of the Tri-Colored Phoenix, Gongsun Wen is determined to get its treasure in his hands]
[2: Beneath the cemetery behind you lies an underground tomb palace opened by a Cao Family ancestor, with a coffin forged from Star Stone inside]
[3: Inside the Cao Family’s ancestral hall, there’s a hidden array, where the Cao Family’s Qi Cultivation Clan Members are hiding in the refuge below]
[4:....]
