The Two Great Families! (4K)
"Drink."
The Jiang Clan Ancestor struck a reddish-brown Sand Scorpion with a palm strike. The terrifying force of the palm shattered the Sand Scorpion's shell, but the rebound force made the Jiang Clan Ancestor's body tremble.
"What a tough, monstrous beast!"
The Jiang Clan Ancestor was startled.
The Indigenous People Demon Race of this Ancient Star possesses astonishingly terrifying strength.
Even with the cultivation level of the Great Perfection God King, the ancestor of the Jiang clan had some difficulty killing this sand scorpion.
To avoid leaking information, Lu Changsheng and his group tried their best to eliminate Indigenous People Demon Race they encountered along the way.
"The Demon Race here seem to be unusually irritable, and they are clearly different from the Demon Race in the Three Realms. What is their origin?"
The Daoist Tuquan wagged his tail as he examined the corpse of the Sand Scorpion, feeling that the Demon Race living on this Ancient Star was unusual.
The Demon Race of the Three Realms Sects even more cunning. They will flee at the first sign of trouble. Some Demon Race even transform into human form and mingle in Human Race Dynasties or Human Race.
The Indigenous People Demon Race of this ancient star is extremely aggressive, and will immediately attack Human Race Xiuzhenzhe they encounter.
Lu Changsheng then used his Long Sword to dismember the body.
The Demon Race on this ancient star are different from those in the Three Realms. Their bones, claws, leather, and other materials are extremely precious and cannot be found in the Three Realms.
Lu Changsheng collected these materials and then rewarded them to his disciples, to see what treasures the system could bestow upon them.
"Xiaoqi, you can keep this tooth."
Lu Changsheng tossed one of the Sand Scorpion's fangs to Su Xiaoqi.
"..."
Holding the enormous fang, Su Xiaoqi wondered what the deeper meaning was behind her master's gift of such a thing.
[Ding! You have bestowed upon your apprentice Su Xiaoqi the rare and precious material "Sand Scorpion Fangs," and have received a reward of ten thousand times the amount of the apprenticeship bonus: "Scorpion Dragon Teeth."]
[Scorpion Dragon Fang: The fangs of the special life form, the Scorpion Dragon.]
Oh?
Scorpion Dragon?
Lu Changsheng had never heard of such a special existence, or even a special life form.
The fangs rewarded by the system are harder than those of the Sand Scorpion and look like excellent materials for Artifact Refining. They can be given to Dugu Aotian in the future to help him refine top-grade Law Treasure.
"Drink!"
The Jiang Clan Ancestor tore the Sand Scorpion's enormous body in two, intending to extract its golden core.
In the center of the Sand Scorpion's head, a golden core had lost its luster, resembling a black stone covered in cracks.
The Jiang Clan Ancestor was stunned. "Why does this Great Demon's Demon Core look like a stone? What kind of monster is this?"
The group exchanged bewildered glances. Their understanding of this Ancient Star Ancient Star was limited, and they had no idea about the Indigenous People of its inhabitants.
"Perhaps it's the local environment that shapes its people; the Indigenous People here are distinctly different from those in the Three Realms."
That was all Su Yun could guess.
"Further ahead lies a range of red hills, and the great formation that has trapped our ancestors is located in the middle of these hills. These hills are inhabited by Indigenous People Tribes who guard the formation. We are very likely to be discovered by them, so we must be careful and prepared for battle at any time."
Su Yun's expression was solemn.
They were finally approaching the great formation, and approaching the formation meant that they were very likely to clash with or even fight the Indigenous People of this Ancient Star.
Judging from the strength of the Demon Race living on the Ancient Star, the Indigenous People guarding the great formation must be even more terrifying.
The ancestors of the Moon Palace and Taihua Sacred Ground also knew what conflict with the Indigenous People meant, so they concentrated their attention and were ready to unleash their Law Treasures at any time.
In addition, they had prepared various Medicinal Pills and Talisman.
Even Li Lingfei and Lin Shiyu were not confident that they could escape unscathed.
The group became even more cautious to avoid alerting the brown hills.
Ideally, they would avoid the Indigenous People Tribes, reach the great formation, coordinate with those inside and outside, break through the formation, rescue the Su Clan Ancestors, and then immediately board the Void Boat to return to the Three Realms, without having to fight the Indigenous People Tribes.
If possible, Lu Changsheng and his group naturally did not want to start a conflict with the Indigenous People for no reason.
Fighting against powerful Indigenous People would not only bring no benefit, but might even result in the death of some, making it a losing proposition.
"It would be best to negotiate with these Indigenous People Tribes. I think they possess powerful cultivation and are quite intelligent; we should be able to persuade them to let us rescue the trapped people."
Lu Changsheng was pondering how to rescue these ancestors with minimal losses.
"My biggest fear is that these Indigenous People don't trust us. And if we're allowed to leave, and we learn the location of the Ancient Star, the news will spread, and more powerful beings from the Three Realms will come to explore it. What will we do then? From their perspective, killing everyone who knows the location of this Ancient Star is the best option."
Su Yun's concerns were not unfounded.
This is similar to the "Dark Forest Principle".
They negotiated with Indigenous People Tribes, who might not trust them, and considering the worst-case scenario, the possibility of conflict Indigenous People the two sides Tribe extremely high.
Suddenly, Su Yun's expression changed, her pretty face turning pale. "This is bad! The High Antiquity Huangfu Family and the High Antiquity Helian Family are lying in ambush here. I can't mistake their aura!"
Upon hearing Su Yun's words, the ancestors of the Moon Palace and Taihua Sacred Ground also looked around in alarm.
The High Antiquity Helian Family and the High Antiquity Huangfu Family actually tracked them all the way here!
"Hahaha, Su Yun, you little bitch, you dared to play tricks on our two great Lineage back then, manipulating us like puppets. You are indeed familiar with our two great Lineage's Cultivation Method; even the Turtle Breath Technique couldn't hide from you."
"Haha, today you're finally going to fall into our hands."
Accompanied by bursts of laughter, several hundred High Antiquity Huangfu Family and the High Antiquity Helian Family, who had been lying in ambush in the woods, appeared, their powerful auras filling the air!
Some of them possessed terrifying auras, like Primordial Era Behemoths, and even Lu Changsheng felt powerless against them.
Lu Changsheng had met the leader of the High Antiquity Helian Family once before— the Fourth Ancestor of the Helian Family the High Antiquity Helian family!
The Fourth Ancestor of the Helian Family was no match for Lin Shiyu, but he was also no match for Lu Changsheng.
The Fourth Ancestor was a genuine Immortality Realm expert!
Beside the Fourth Ancestor of the Helian Family was an old man, his face weathered and scarred, but his aura was still superior to that of the Fourth Ancestor of the Helian Family.
Su Yun said coldly, "I didn't expect that the High Antiquity Helian Family would even send out their Third Ancestor, who has always lived in seclusion, to suppress our Su Clan."
"Hmph, you little brat, you did a good job with your intelligence. You've never seen me before, yet you recognized me."
The Third Ancestor stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Lu Changsheng and his group with disdain, seemingly unafraid of Lin Shiyu.
"The Third Ancestor..."
Lin Shiyu and the other patriarchs of the Taihua Sacred Ground were on high alert.
The Household Ancestor Lin said, " In High Antiquity, aristocratic Aristocratic Clan were generally ranked by strength. The stronger the family, the higher the status. The Third Ancestor means that his cultivation ranked third in the High Antiquity Helian Family. He is already a legendary figure, and I have never even seen him."
"This is going to be difficult..."
Lu Changsheng found the situation extremely difficult.
With the third and Fourth Ancestors of the High Antiquity Third Ancestor of the Helian Family taking action, their combat power is something that even the major Holy Lands dare not underestimate.
Besides the two ancestors, the Helian Family also mobilized a large number of experts at the God King Realm and Immortal Emperor Realm. These experts posed a great threat to Lu Changsheng and his group, whether fighting one-on-one or forming the High Antiquity Helian Family's Formation.
"The Fifth Ancestor, Seventh Ancestor, and Tenth Ancestors of the Huangfu Clan..."
Su Yun knew the High Antiquity Huangfu Family inside and out.
In order to use one Lineage to defeat the other, Su Yun maneuvered between the High Antiquity Huangfu Family and the High Antiquity Helian Family, gathering intelligence on both Lineage and recognizing their experts.
When Su Yun revealed their identities, the Fifth Ancestor, Seventh Ancestor, and Tenth Ancestors of the Huangfu Clan were taken aback. "Hand over your Su Clan's Clan-Suppressing Treasure obediently, and we can let you go and forgive your past transgressions."
The Third Ancestor of the Helian Family spoke calmly yet terrifyingly, "There's no need to say anything more to them. Just kill them all, and the treasure will be within our grasp. She must have brought the Clan-Suppressing Treasure with her to rescue those old fogies from the Su Clan."
Su Yun took two steps back; she had indeed been correctly guessed by the Third Ancestor of the Helian Family.
In rescuing the ancestors, Su Yun naturally went all out, bringing with her the ancient Clan-Suppressing Treasure High Antiquity Su Family, just in case.
As a result, she was exposed by the Third Ancestor of the Helian Family, who had already decided to kill her.
"Snort."
Li Lingfei's cold snort calmed down the two groups of people from the Helian Family and Huangfu Clan who were itching to make a move.
Li Lingfei, one of the Moon Palace Ancestor, is no ordinary person. She is an ancestor of the Moon Palace, the tenth High Antiquity Divine Palace. She has defeated a Demon Venerable from the Demon Realm. Her reputation and achievements are both astonishing.
Moreover, Li Lingfei is backed by the Moon Palace.
Even if the High Antiquity Huangfu Family and the High Antiquity Helian Family were combined, they might not be a match for the entire Moon Palace.
"You two great Lineage are content to live in your own little corner, but do you dare to offend our Moon Palace?"
Li Lingfei's words made the experts from the Huangfu Clan and Helian Families hesitant to act rashly, and they all looked at the five elders leading the group.
The Third Ancestor of the Helian Family sneered, "This Ancient Star is located deep in the Void, far from the Three Realms. Even if Talisman are used, it is impossible to transmit information to the Three Realms. As long as you all perish here, then the Moon Palace will not know how you died, nor how it will seek revenge on our two great Lineage."
"Yes, things have come to this, you will all die."
The Fifth Ancestor, Seventh Ancestor, and Tenth Ancestors of the Huangfu Clan exchanged a resolute glance, ready to strike.
The patriarchs of the Moon Palace and Taihua Mountain were on the verge of war.
Since the other side was determined to take action and leave no survivors, they had no choice but to act.
"I will deal with the Third Ancestor of the Helian Family. You will help Lin Shiyu deal with the other ancestral masters in the Immortality Realm."
Li Lingfei instructed the elders of the Moon Palace to confront each of these powerful Aristocratic Clans individually.
Su Yun smiled wryly, "I never expected that the High Antiquity Helian Family and the High Antiquity Huangfu Family would chase us all the way here. Asking for your help this time has dragged you into this mess as well. I'm truly ashamed."
"Those two families dare to look down on our Moon Palace. This is a feud between our Moon Palace and them."
Li Lingfei completely disregarded the grudges High Antiquity Su Family and the two major Lineage.
Now, the two major Lineage are planning to kill each other to silence witnesses, showing absolutely no respect for the Moon Palace, which has enraged Li Lingfei.
"We have no choice but to take action. Our Taihua Sacred Ground is not to be trifled with."
Lin Shiyu told everyone from Taihua Sacred Ground to get ready.
The Taihua Sacred Ground's team was relatively weak, with only Lin Shiyu, a Great Expert, followed by the Household Ancestor Lin and the Jiang Clan Ancestor, both of whom were Great Perfection God Kings listed on the God King Ranking.
The Ye Clan Ancestor and the others were unable to enter the God King Ranking.
Next up are Su Yun, Lu Changsheng, Su Xiaoqi, and the Daoist Tuquan.
Lu Changsheng summoned the Mountains and Rivers Diagram.
A scroll slowly unfolded before Lu Changsheng, Su Xiaoqi, and Daoist Tuquan, depicting mountains and rivers, containing a world within it.
"The High Antiquity Han Clan's Mountains and Rivers Diagram? This Law Treasure is not bad, but unfortunately it can't save you."
"Form ranks! The Four Fiends Formation, activate!"
At the command of the Third Ancestor of the Helian Family, hundreds of the Helian Family experts took up positions in different directions, holding Fiend Beast Dao Banners, and formed the Four Fiends Formation, trapping Lu Changsheng and his group.
The Fiend Beast Dao Banners come in four types, each featuring a totem of a ferocious beast.
The Four Fiends Formation was brewing, the Fiend Beast Dao Banner exuded a monstrous Demon Qi, and four terrifying phantom beasts appeared, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
"This is it, we're doomed..."
The Big Yellow Dog climbed onto Lu Changsheng's shoulder, its body trembling.
The High Antiquity Grand Formation of the High Antiquity Helian Family possesses the power to destroy the heavens and the earth; even Great Expert may not be able to escape unscathed, making it extremely dangerous.
"Su Yun, this is the consequence of opposing the Helian Family. If you had handed over the Clan-Suppressing Treasure earlier, you wouldn't be in this predicament today."
The Third Ancestor of the Helian Family opened his palm, and an ancient bronze bell appeared in his hand.
True Qi was injected, the ancient bronze bell resonated, causing Space-Time Ripples. It was like the sound of a bell from Remote Antiquity, awe-inspiring and even causing the two Great Experts, Li Lingfei and Lin Shiyu, to momentarily lose their composure.
The opponent hadn't even used the ancient bronze bell to attack; it only activated it slightly, yet it already possessed such power.
Li Lingfei and Lin Shiyu were on high alert.
The moment the bronze bell appeared, Su Yun's face turned deathly pale. "Oh no! He brought the High Antiquity Helian Family's Clan-Suppressing Treasure — the Voidless Bell. This bell is incredibly dangerous; we must protect our Three Souls and Seven Spirits, or we'll be reduced to ashes in the slightest mistake."
"Even the Mountains and Rivers Diagram couldn't absorb this kind of attack..."
Even with the Mountains and Rivers Diagram protecting him, Lu Changsheng was still momentarily dazed by the Bronze Bell, his Three Souls and Seven Spirits trembling.
The Voidless Bell completely ignored the Mountains and Rivers Diagram.
No wonder the High Antiquity Han Clan was only a second-rate Cultivation Aristocratic Clan, far inferior to a first-rate Cultivation Aristocratic Clan. The difference can be seen from the strength of their respective Clan-Suppressing Treasures.
"That brat's a bit tricky. You two are in charge of dealing with him."
Helian Tuo, the fourth ancestor of the Helian family, arranged for two experts at the God King realm to deal with Lu Chang.
In his view, Lu Changsheng was indeed a bit troublesome, but it shouldn't be to the point that he had to take action himself.
The cultivation levels of the ancestors from the Moon Palace and Taihua Sacred Ground are clearly higher than Lu Changsheng's, so they need to be dealt with first. In particular, Li Lingfei and Lin Shiyu need to be defeated as soon as possible, otherwise we don't know what trump cards they have.
The Third Ancestor of the Helian Family brought the Clan-Suppressing Treasure, while the Moon Palace and the Taihua Sacred Ground also possessed their Sect-Guarding Law Treasure.
A Second-Grade God King and a Fourth-Grade God King should be able to kill Lu Changsheng easily.
"Kill that dog."
Helian Tuo discovered that Lu Changsheng was also carrying a dog, which he assumed was the easiest to deal with, allowing even the weakest member of his clan to handle the situation.
When the Daoist Tuquan realized that he was only being targeted by an Immortal Emperor Realm expert, his eyes lit up. It seemed that the other party had underestimated his strength.
