Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 465 - 232: Power of the Purple Mansion, Tier Three Insect Mother, Fierce Battle
The Cui Clan Leader shook his head.
After several encounters with the newly appointed Master Xu, he found that the other party seemed to harbor some dislike towards their Cui Family. Despite racking his brain, he couldn’t figure out the reason.
Therefore, trying to gather useful information from the World Suppression Bureau was as difficult as reaching the heavens, thus he said:
"Fu Clan Leader has always been on good terms with the people from the World Suppression Bureau, we will know when he arrives."
As he spoke.
A rainbow light fell outside the cave.
It was Fu Changsheng.
Fu Changsheng cupped his hands and said:
"Sorry everyone, there were some miscellaneous affairs in the clan that delayed me for a moment."
The insect tide broke out.
Which noble family wasn’t overwhelmed by it, so everyone understood and didn’t say much.
Hee Clan Leader originally wanted to ask if the Fu Family had gathered any news, but at this moment, spirit light surged one after another outside the cave, with Grand Elder Shi and Nangong Clan Leader arriving in succession, and finally, Gongsun Clan Leader and Shangguan Feng arrived.
Gongsun Clan Leader glanced at Shangguan Feng and quickly moved his gaze away.
Seven Foundation Establishment members of the Gongsun Family died at the hands of the Shangguan Family and Fu Family, creating an irreconcilable hatred. However, now that the Shangguan Family was in its prime, with Shangguan Feng and his daughter stepping into Half-Step Purple Mansion one after another, the Gongsun Family had been on a downward path. This hatred could only be silently remembered in their hearts, without daring to show even a hint of hostility.
Once everyone was gathered.
The Ninth-Grade Clans governed by the Eighth-Grade Noble Families stood together.
Shangguan Feng swept his Divine Sense over Fu Changsheng and was startled:
"Changsheng, why are you still at the Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment?"
The information he received.
Was that Fu Changsheng had been in seclusion for seven years, and he thought it was to break through to the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment.
Seven years of seclusion.
Fu Changsheng spent it cultivating the "Great Derivation Technique" and refining Puppet Avatars, so he felt a bit embarrassed when Shangguan Feng asked this.
Seeing this, Shangguan Feng couldn’t help but remind him a few times:
"I previously told you to build a solid foundation, but that doesn’t mean to remain stagnant. Changsheng, no matter whether you’re cultivating Secret Techniques or the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, remember this: always prioritize your own cultivation first."
Apparently, Shangguan Feng truly regarded Fu Changsheng as his own family.
Fu Changsheng responded with a nod.
However.
He had already planned out his cultivation process, first breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Peak, then refining the Star Coffin, cultivating the "Nine Heavens Star Technique" to the Flesh Refining Realm to lay a solid foundation for opening the two major Dantians, then taking the Soul-Storage Pill to restore his split Divine Sense and reach the stage of awakening his Divine Soul.
Now that Meizhen had already advanced to a Tier Two High-Grade Alchemist.
It shouldn’t be difficult to refine the Soul-Storage Pill.
While they were talking.
Lin Clan Leader just stood aside.
But being gravely injured, he couldn’t join the conversation. Now the Lin Family had been marginalized by the Shangguan Family, and last time he wanted to acquire a Foundation Establishment Pill at the Wanning Commerce Association auction but ultimately failed.
If he were to die today.
The Lin Family would be completely finished.
So Lin Clan Leader was apprehensive and didn’t have the mind to pay attention to Shangguan Feng and others. He couldn’t understand why, after a lifetime of walking on thin ice, the Lin Family ended up in such a dire situation.
After a bit of conversation.
Fu Changsheng suddenly trembled.
He turned his head to look outside the cave.
Outside the cave.
A powerful pressure was rapidly approaching, much stronger than Shangguan Feng, clearly indicating that a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion was arriving.
Everyone exchanged glances.
But there was not a trace of joy on their faces.
Instead, worry deepened.
The fact that a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion needed to be personally involved indicated that the risk of their current mission had greatly increased.
Buzz!
The Array Light Curtain surged.
Master Xu entered first, taking a step aside to leave the center position open.
Fu Changsheng curiously glanced outside.
The one who came was Cao Xiang’er, newly promoted to Governor.
She wore a light purple long dress, the hem gently swaying in the wind, like a purple lotus blooming in the clouds. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her skin as white as mutton fat jade.
Fu Changsheng glanced at her, quickly lowered his eyes, and followed the others in saluting:
"Greetings, Governor."
Cao Xiang’er flicked her sleeve.
A Grandmaster’s Chair landed in the cave, and once seated, she directly said:
"Five days ago, the Court’s Ten Thousand Beasts Department delivered the research results of the Tai Chi Locust to my hands. The reason this Tai Chi Locust Tide is so hard to deal with is that there’s an Insect Mother controlling it from behind. The Insect Mother is a Tier Three cultivation, equivalent to the Purple Mansion Stage, and due to the unique life system of these Tai Chi Locusts, once the Insect Mother is killed, all other Tai Chi Locusts, whether Tier One Insect Soldier or Tier Two Insect General, would die instantly."
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.
They thought the insect tide had not yet produced an Insect King.
But surprisingly.
All this was caused by the Tier Three Insect Mother.
Cao Xiang’er said with determination:
"I will personally deal with the Insect Mother, while you set up an Array outside to prevent the Tier Two Insect Generals from returning to aid the Insect Mother. As long as I can successfully kill the Insect Mother, this disaster can be resolved."
Just dealing with the Tier Two Insect Generals.
The rest slightly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then.
Master Xu stepped forward, patted the storage bag, and in a flash of Dawn Light, an Array Map hung midair:
"This is the Spiritual Insect Tide Array, an emergency research by the Court specifically to deal with the Tai Chi Locust Tide. At that time, I will control the center, with the Eighth-Grade Noble Families leading the Ninth-Grade Clans to occupy the four cardinal directions: east, south, west, and north. This array is built on the principle of Five Elements Mutual Generation, forged with Tai Meteorite and Qingcang Wood, inscribed with corresponding Restrictions both inside and outside. You all should familiarize yourselves with it first, and we will set out tomorrow morning."
