Luo Clan's Luo Qiuming Invited Him to Slay Demons

Several days later, Shen Qi and his group of refugees safely arrived in Xia Zhi Town under the protection of the Qi Training Late Stage Immortal Spirit Crane.

Because we are currently in the midst of Demon Beast Uprising, Xia Zhi Town Xia Zhi Town already has villagers from several villages under its jurisdiction, numbering between 20,000 and 30,000 mortals.

The ordinary people in the town were afraid of encountering Demon Beast, so they dared not go too far from Xia Zhi Town. They could only farm and grow rice near Xia Zhi Town.

Furthermore, the ordinary people in the town did not know when the Demon Beast Uprising would end and things would return to normal. In order to avoid running out of stored food, they did not dare to let Shen Qi and his group into Xia Zhi Town immediately.

After all, these thousands of ordinary people need to eat a considerable amount of food every day.

However, considering that the Immortal Spirit Crane, a symbol of the Ling Clan family immortals, escorted Shen Qi and his group along the way, the town mayor of Xia Zhi Town did not directly drive away these refugees.

Instead, he went to Xia Zhi Mountain, which is next to Xia Zhi Town, and asked Ling Ruxian, a cultivator stationed on the mountain.

Ling Ruxian naturally agreed, and he also personally went to find Shen Qi, the leader of the group of refugees.

Upon learning from Shen Qi that several towns within the Ice Flood Dragon County Shen Family had been breached by Demon Beast, and that Demon Beast were now rampant in the Shen Clan, he immediately left Xia Zhi Mountain and returned to the Clan Mountain to seek out Ling Pengyun, Foundation Establishment Cultivator within the clan.

He first told Ling Pengyun what he had learned from Shen Qi, and then explained in detail.

"Peng Yun, the Shen Family of Ice Flood Dragon County, along with the other five Foundation Establishment Family of Ice Flood Dragon County, are newly established Lineage, or they were originally small Qi Refining Lineage. Each family doesn't have many Qi Refining cultivators to begin with, and they have all sent a group of family members to West Yang Market Town."

"There are probably only ten or twenty cultivators stationed within the clan. Several months ago, these six Foundation Establishment Family experienced several Small Demon Uprising, resulting in the loss of another batch of Qi Refining cultivators and mortal clan members."

"In addition to this incident involving refugees, the probability of the Shen Family being wiped out by the Demon Beast horde is extremely high."

"Before the Shen Clan became Foundation Establishment Family, I heard that, like my Ling Clan in the past, it was a small Lineage with a history of a hundred years."

"Such Lineage must have a profound foundation. If the Shen Family's Clan Mountain is destroyed, the spiritual treasures within will probably all end up in the mouths of Demon Beast. However, the Shen Family's Cultivation Method and classic texts must have been preserved."

"Could you go and see what's going on? If it's really as I suspect, please do your best to snatch the Shen Clan's legacy from the Demon Beast ' mouths."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Ling Pengyun immediately became interested.

He had long wanted to rob Foundation Establishment clan.

However, he has always been afraid to do it because he is worried about being blamed by the Hundred Spirits Sect.

Now that the Shen Family, which appears to have been attacked by Demon Beast, has appeared before him, Ling Pengyun will naturally not let this opportunity pass.

After all, if the Shen Clan was indeed defeated by Demon Beast due to its own weakness, there would be nothing wrong with him going to the Shen Family Clan Mountain.

Even if others discover this later, they can use the pretext of exterminating demons to help the surviving Shen Clan cultivators reclaim their Clan Mountain.

As for why he didn't rely on this method to attract the Demon Beast horde to destroy the Wen Clan clan, it was because Ling Pengyun was afraid that after the Demon Beast horde destroyed the Wen Clan, it would devour too many Wen Clan cultivators, mortals, and spiritual objects from the Spirit Vein of the Wen Clan in various places, thus increasing its strength and ultimately causing chaos in his own Lineage.

Moreover, the Wen Clan Wen Clan is not stupid. As long as one of their cultivators survives, they will surely inform the Wen Clan members who were transferred by the Hundred Spirits Sect and are now stationed in West Yang Market Town.

At that time, the Ling Clan will be in a difficult situation.

"Eleventh Great Grandfather, I'll take care of this. I'll go right now to prevent this fortuitous opportunity from being snatched away by other clans," Ling Pengyun said.

"Alright, safety is the most important thing. Return to the clan as soon as possible to prevent any Demon Beast from entering the Lineage's territory," Ling Ruxian instructed.

"Clear."

After Ling Pengyun finished speaking, he went to the Affairs Hall to inform Ling Pengliang of his departure. Then, he rode the Wind Shadow Peng away from the Ling Clan Mountain and flew towards Ice Flood Dragon County in Ji Yun County.

Ji Yun County is not far from An Yang County, where the Ling Clan is located. The two are separated only by a desolate land stretching for hundreds of miles without a single Spirit Vein.

This desolate land has no owner because it lacks Spirit Vein, and currently no one wants it.

However, if several hundred years pass and the surrounding major Lineage become powerful and have many mortals under their command, they may consume the current territory of each family and then occupy that place to breed and expand their mortal population.

Wind Shadow Peng's cultivation level reached the Qi Training Completion, and his flight speed increased significantly.

At full power, it can travel approximately 12,000 li per day.

In just a few hours, they traversed three or four thousand miles and entered the territory of the Shen Clan.

Upon entering the territory of the Shen Clan, Ling Pengyun, riding the Wind Shadow Peng, saw many Demon Beast, and indeed felt that Demon Beast were rampant.

With the intention of returning to his clan's territory as soon as possible, Ling Pengyun did not spend too much time on the group of Qi Training Demon Beast along the way and simply ignored them.

Although the Qi Training Demon Beast noticed Ling Pengyun riding the Wind Shadow Peng in the sky and launched Law Technique attacks, they were all blocked by a blue light barrier.

Two hours later, Ling Pengyun also rode the Wind Shadow Peng and flew to the vicinity of the Shen Family Clan Mountain.

Just as Ling Ruxian predicted, the Shen Family Clan Mountain was indeed breached by the Demon Beast.

The entire Spirit Mountain is occupied by nearly a thousand Demon Beast. Although there is only one Foundation Establishment Demon Beast Demon Beast among them, its Foundation Establishment level is as high as the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment.

According to Ling Pengyun's estimation, the exact cultivation level of that Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast was probably at the Fourth Layer Foundation Establishment or Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment, with the latter being more likely.

"Now that the Shen Family Clan Mountain has been captured, it is likely that during the period of Demon Beast Uprising, less than one-tenth of the Shen Clan cultivators who were stationed in the Shen Clan territory survived. Those mortals under the Shen Clan's command are probably either dead or have fled."

"The Shen Clan has no mortals left, and after the recent demonic chaos and the recent attack on the Spirit Vein within their territory by Demon Beast, they are in a rather miserable state."

"For nearly a century, the Shen Clan will likely be in a state of severe decline."

"I wonder if the Shen Clan can survive this period of weakness."

Upon realizing this, Ling Pengyun frowned deeply and muttered something to himself meaningfully.

Considering that the Foundation Establishment Demon Beast occupying the Shen Family Clan Mountain was at the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, he was unlikely to be able to defeat it and considered giving up the idea of forcibly entering the Shen Family Clan Mountain to seize the Shen Clan's resources.

But before long, a Communication Talisman flew out from a barren mountain not far away and landed in front of Ling Pengyun.

Ling Pengyun was somewhat surprised to see this.

He reached out and took the Communication Talisman in his hand, carefully examining the small characters inside.

"Ling Daoyou, I am Luo Qiuming, here to gather in the desolate mountains."

Upon seeing the contents of the Communication Talisman, Ling Pengyun was startled. He hadn't expected that Luo Qiuming of the Luo Clan had also received news from the Shen Clan.

Looking toward the desolate mountain from which the Communication Talisman had come, they did not immediately notice Luo Qiuming's presence there.

It wasn't until they used their Divine Sense to investigate that they discovered a First-Tier Superior-Grade Aura Concealment Array Formation set up on the desolate mountain.

There were many figures inside the formation. Besides Luo Qiuming, who was sending him the message, there were also several cultivators dressed in Daoist robes.

Five of the cultivators were wearing Shen Clan robes, while another cultivator was wearing Tiger's Roar Liu Clan robe. Beside this Liu Clan cultivator lay a red-haired tiger demon several meters tall.

"Why Tiger's Roar Liu Clan Flame Cloud Tiger Guardian Spirit Beast, here too?"

Ling Pengyun stared at the red-haired tiger demon lying prostrate on the ground, his eyes narrowing slightly as he muttered to himself.

After a moment of stunned silence, his expression brightened, and he rode his Wind Shadow Peng towards the desolate mountain.

After he landed on the desolate mountain, he walked to Luo Qiuming's side, cupped his hands in greeting, and said hello.

"Luo Daoist Friend."

Then, he cupped his hands in greeting to the old man of the Liu Clan standing next to the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Flame Cloud Tiger and asked.

"May I ask if this Liu Daoist Friend is Liu Daozhong, the Second Elder of the Liu Clan?"

The Tiger's Roar Liu Clan is famous for its beast taming, apart from Liu Daozhou Liu Clan, the Clan Head leader who is a Second-Order Beast Tamer with the Foundation Establishment cultivation.

The Liu Clan also has many skilled beast tamers. The Second Elder of the Liu Clan Liu Daozhong the Liu Clan besides Liu Daozhou. He is a highly skilled First-Tier Superior-Grade Beast Tamer.

At the same time, this person was also the one who controlled the Foundation Establishment Realm Flame Cloud Tiger of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan during this period of Demon Beast Uprising.

"Indeed, Senior Ling." When Liu Daozhong, the Second Elder of the Liu Clan, saw Ling Pengyun asking a question, his expression changed slightly, and he returned the greeting by addressing him as "senior."

Then, Ling Pengyun cupped his hands in greeting to the five Qi Refining cultivators from the Shen Clan standing to the side.

The five Qi Refining cultivators from the Shen Clan also greeted Ling Pengyun one by one.

However, the five Shen Clan cultivators did not show much joy upon seeing Ling Pengyun's arrival; instead, they were somewhat dissatisfied.

Luo Qiuming, standing nearby, was startled when he sensed the aura emanating from Ling Pengyun, who was so close at hand.

"This person Foundation Establishment a few years later than me. I didn't expect him to reach the second level of Foundation Establishment so quickly. However, according to rumors, although his cultivation aptitude is not good, his comprehension is extraordinary. If he had a bit of fortuitous opportunity, it would have been impossible for him to break through to the second level of Foundation Establishment so quickly."

Thinking about it this way, Luo Qiuming couldn't help but recall the time some time ago when he killed a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast and took out a cub from its belly.

Although the young Demon Beast beast was not born naturally, it possessed extremely strong talent and was a mutated Demon Beast. When it opened its eyes, it directly crossed the Innate Realm and reached the Early-Stage Qi Training.

Now, he has tamed this young Demon Beast beast and it has become his Spirit Beast.

Coming to his senses, Luo Qiuming waved his hand to set up a Soundproof Restriction around them, a smile appearing on his face as he asked Ling Pengyun.

"I presume Ling Daoyou has come here for the same reason as Elder Liu and I—to obtain the Shen Clan's Cultivation Method?"

"That's right." Seeing Luo Qiuming lay his cards on the table, Ling Pengyun didn't hide anything and admitted it.

"In that case, Fellow Ling Daoyou, you must have also sensed that there is a powerful Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast in the Shen Family Clan Mountain."

"If this demon is not eliminated or defeated, we have absolutely no chance of entering the Shen Family Clan Mountain on our own."

"Just now, Elder Liu and I tried to lure the Flame Cloud Tiger away from the mountain, but unfortunately the group of Demon Beast occupying Shen Family Clan Mountain did not fall for it. They will not leave the three-mile radius of Shen Family Clan Mountain. Most likely, they consider Shen Family Clan Mountain their lair."

"Ling Daoyou, would you like to join forces with me, Elder Liu's Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Flame Cloud Tiger, to attack the Shen Family Clan Mountain?"

"If we combine our strength, we probably have little hope of killing the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast Demon Beast occupies the Shen Family Clan Mountain, but we do have a good chance of defeating it together."

"After this is done, the three families will jointly make a copy of the Shen Clan's Cultivation Method. By the way, we can also gain a good reputation for helping the remaining Qi Training Stage Shen Clan cultivators reclaim their Clan Mountain," Luo Qiuming asked again.

Ling Pengyun had already guessed that Luo Qiuming would bring this up, but he hesitated for a moment.

He glanced at Luo Qiuming, then at the Liu Clan's Flame Cloud Tiger, and secretly made a calculation.

"With his eighteen high-quality Second Rank Low Grade Lifebound Array Flag, Luo Qiuming's strength is comparable to that of Foundation Establishment Third Layer Demon Beast. Moreover, he has also killed Foundation Establishment Third Layer Demon Beast, so his strength is extraordinary."

"Liu Clan's Flame Cloud Tiger has a powerful aura, and it must have reached the bottleneck of the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment. Its strength is probably not weak either."

"Joining forces with these two to storm into the Shen Family Clan Mountain is indeed the best option right now."

Lost in thought, he snapped out of it and nodded in agreement.

"I'll do it."

Upon seeing this, Luo Qiuming's expression brightened, and he spoke up.

"Then let's take this opportunity to storm the Shen Family Clan Mountain. If we delay any longer, other troubles may arise."

"I'll do whatever Fellow Luo Daoist Friend," Ling Pengyun said.

Luo Qiuming was quite satisfied.
