Dividing Spiritual Treasures After the Battle
Luo Minghui had no choice but to agree.
He waved his hand and channeled a burst of spiritual energy into the Crimson Fire Sword, sending Ling Yunhong's Icy Cold Azure Sea Flying Sword flying several feet away. He then quickly recalled the energy to his body and stepped onto the Crimson Fire Sword.
The Crimson Fire Flying Sword transformed into a long rainbow, carrying Luo Minghui as they quickly escaped.
Although Ling Yunhong and the others tried to launch attacks to block them, they were all temporarily blocked by Li Xia, whose strength had increased to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, relying on her Lifebound Magic Item, the Colorful Cloud Whip.
This meant that Ling Yunhong and the others could only watch helplessly as Luo Minghui fled into the distance.
However, with Luo Minghui's escape, Li Xia alone, even though she used Secret Method to boost her cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, could not hold out for long under the combined attack of Ling Yunhong, Ling Pengyun, and Ling Pengxing, and soon met her end under Ling Yunhong's Icy Cold Azure Sea Flying Sword.
"Third Grandfather, why don't we take this opportunity to attack the Luo Clan directly?" Ling Pengxing suggested, looking in the direction Luo Minghui had left.
"This is too reckless. The effects of the Spirit Burst Pill I took only last for a hundred breaths. In that time, we will hardly be able to catch up with Luo Minghui."
"And once these hundred breaths have passed, I will also be in a period of weakness for a month, with my strength reduced to less than one-tenth, and I may even be unable to fight at all."
"Given the combined strength of you, Peng Yun, and the Immortal Spirit Crane King I ride, even if we catch up with Luo Minghui, we'd probably only be able to exchange blows with Luo Minghui when half of his Lifebound Array Flag are destroyed. We'd have no chance of killing him," Ling Yunhong said helplessly.
"But if we let Luo Minghui go, it will be difficult for us to kill Luo Minghui later."
"After all, Luo Minghui is a highly skilled mid-grade second-tier array master. If this old thief Luo continues to stay in the Luo clan mountain, which is protected by a mid-grade second-tier mountain-protecting array, I'm afraid even if we combine the strength of our entire clan, it will be difficult to conquer the Luo clan mountain."
"Furthermore, if this drags on, that old Luo Minghui will probably take advantage of this time to send some of the more talented members of the Luo Clan clan to the outside world to avoid being exterminated by our clan."
"They might even flee to the outside world and hide, waiting for a good opportunity to take revenge. This would be a matter with endless consequences," Ling Pengxing somewhat unwillingly.
"What you say makes sense, but given my current situation, it would be unwise for me to lead my people to attack the Luo Clan." As the head of the clan, Ling Yunhong naturally understood this simple truth.
"Third Grandfather, if we form an alliance with a clan, our weakness can be resolved."
"The Tiger's Roar Liu Clan, which is located right next to the Luo Clan's territory, has always harbored resentment towards the Luo Clan. Just now, I used a Image Recording Disc to record the images of Luo Minghui and Li Xia colluding with Devil Cultivator to ambush and kill us."
"With the help of this Image Recording Disc, the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan will most likely agree to form an alliance with my Ling Clan, under the pretext of destroying the Luo Clan, which colludes with Devil Cultivator, and attack the Luo Clan together with my Ling Clan."
"With the help of Liu Daozhou, the Clan Head of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan, and the Guardian Spirit Beast, Flame Cloud Tiger, we do not even need to kill the old thief Luo Minghui. We only need to intimidate him into Falling Dusk Mountain, trap him, and wait for you, Third Grandfather, to overcome the weakness period caused by the Spirit Burst Pill."
"Furthermore, the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan also has a geographical advantage, as its territory is right next to the Luo Clan's territory. If the Qi Refining cultivators of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan help, they can roughly surround the Luo Clan's territory in a short time to prevent the Luo Clan cultivators from escaping. This will also solve our worries about the rear."
"Then, as long as we conquer the Falling Dusk Luo Clan's Clan Mountain, this matter will be accomplished."
"However, there is a drawback to forming an alliance with the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan: after destroying the Luo Clan, the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan will need to give the Luo family some of the Luo Clan's benefits."
"This move will strengthen the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan and may pose a threat to the future development of the Lineage. After all, the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan is not weak, and currently, it is inferior to our clan."
Ling Pengyun, who had been silent all along, took out a Image Recording Disc from his Storage Bag and channeled his spiritual power into it. Immediately, the scene of Luo Minghui colluding with Devil Cultivator to besiege them appeared on the surface of the Image Recording Disc.
He then offered his suggestion.
Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengxing, who were worried about destroying the Luo Clan, were overjoyed when they saw the image on the Image Recording Disc and heard Ling Pengyun's suggestion.
"Peng Yun, you're so thoughtful."
"Your suggestion is good. Forming an alliance with the Tiger Roar Liu Clan can indeed resolve the potential problems left by the destruction of the Luo Clan. However, the matter of conquering the Luo Clan's ancestral mountain is still somewhat uncertain."
"Even if I recover my strength, with you, Peng Xing, and the two Foundation Establishment mid-stage warriors from the Hu Xiao Liu clan, I'm afraid we still won't have a chance to break through the protective formation of the Luo clan's mountain."
"It is estimated that the only thing we can do is to trap the Luo Clan family within Falling Dusk Mountain."
"We all have other matters to attend to, and it's impossible to keep the Luo Clan besieged indefinitely."
"If this matter drags on for too long, something is bound to happen, leading to other problems."
"However, if we had a second-grade high-quality formation-breaking talisman to help us destroy the protective formation of the Luo clan's mountain, annihilating the Luo clan would become an easy task for us."
After saying this, Ling Yunhong looked at Ling Pengyun.
"Peng Yun, in order to avoid fighting and even extermination among the various clans under its command, the Hundred Spirits Sect has never allowed the Formation Breaking Talisman- Formation Breaking Talisman to be made and circulated outside of its own production, and it also does not allow the second-level Talisman Crafter within the Hundred Spirits Sect to draw Formation Breaking Talisman, such powerful weapons with miraculous effects on formations."
"Under these circumstances, even if the Lineage were to offer a high price, it would be difficult to purchase Formation Breaking Talisman in a short period of time."
"You are related to Yang Siling, the daughter-in-law of the most accomplished Spirit Talisman True Person in the Hundred Spirits Sect. If you rely on your status and offer substantial benefits, there should be a good chance of obtaining a Second Rank High Grade -Formation Breaking Talisman from the Hundred Spirits Sect."
"Furthermore, after the destruction of the Luo Clan, the most important thing for our Lineage cultivators is the Luo Clan's Spirit Vein. However, once the Luo Clan is destroyed by our clan, the Luo Clan's Spirit Vein will definitely be taken back by the Hundred Spirits Sect."
"If the Lineage wants to obtain those Spirit Vein of the Luo Clan, it will still require your cousin's help."
"Of course, I also know that asking for talismans and Spirit Vein Spirit Vein make things difficult for you, and you may even owe favors because of this matter."
"The Lineage doesn't have anything good left now. I see that your second -Second Grade Middle Rank Sand Soil Bronze Bell was quite damaged in this battle."
"Recently, the Lineage has obtained a lot of second-grade Sand Soil Ore by relying on that Sand Soil Mine. After I tempered it with the Foundation Establishment Spirit Fire, the Sand Soil Ore has been transformed into five catties of Second Grade Middle Rank Sand Soil Crystal Stone."
"After we destroy the Luo Clan and obtain their share of the Luo Clan's Sand Soil Mine, we estimate that we will also receive some Second Grade Middle Rank Sand Soil Crystal Stone in the future. I can make the decision to give you ten catties of refined Second Grade Middle Rank Sand Soil Crystal Stone as compensation."
"In this way, you can also use this batch of Sand Soil Ore to repair your Second Grade Middle Rank Sand Soil Bronze Bell."
"I wonder, are you willing to request the talisman and the Spirit Vein?"
Ling Yunhong looked at Ling Pengyun and asked.
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun was quite tempted by the reward of ten catties of Second Grade Middle Rank Sand Soil Crystal Stone offered by Ling Yunhong, but requesting the talisman would indeed consume his personal connections.
In the past, no matter how difficult things were, he never asked his cousin Yang Siling for help.
He wasn't asking Yang Siling because Yang Siling would refuse; rather, he was afraid that if Yang Siling Yang Siling helped him, their relationship would become distant.
This is human nature and something that cannot be avoided.
After all, their statuses were not equal. Yang Siling was Golden Core cultivator's daughter-in-law, while he was just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Ling Clan, so he could hardly help Yang Siling.
Furthermore, he wasn't surnamed Yang, but Ling, and his relationship with Yang Siling was mainly maintained by their parents.
The title of Yang Siling's cousin is quite useful in the territory of the Hundred Spirits Sect, and he doesn't want to give it up.
However, once the Lineage has the help of the Formation Breaking Talisman, destroying the Luo Clan will become extremely easy. By obtaining the Luo Clan's Spirit Vein, the Lineage will also achieve a small leap forward.
After all, the Luo Clan's territory is much richer than the Ling Clan Territory, with more than twenty First Rank Spirit Vein. If the Ling Clan could obtain these Spirit Vein, the Spirit Plant alone would be a significant source of income each year.
As a member of his Lineage Foundation Establishment, his future prospects should be somewhat better.
Lost in thought, Ling Pengyun sighed helplessly and said...
"If I don't use my relationship with Si Ling, it's useless to keep it. I'll take care of the matter of asking for talismans and Spirit Vein."
Seeing Ling Pengyun's response, Ling Yunhong smiled and said, "That's the right way to think."
Afterwards, the group chatted for a few more minutes, then stopped talking and began cleaning up the spoils of the battle.
They collected all the spiritual items from Li Xia and the two Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator, and finally handed them over to the Clan Head Ling Yunhong Ling Yunhong, who then distributed them among the elders.
The group collected a total of three Storage Bag, a natal Devil Artifact, the Poison Blood Sword, Li Xia's Second Rank Low Grade Colorful Cloud Whip, and three Second Grade Middle Rank defensive magic Law Artifact.
That Poison Blood Cover Law Artifact had been shattered by Ling Pengyun and was now useless.
"You two are the ones who single-handedly killed those two Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator Devil Cultivator. Their Storage Bag will belong to you, while Li Xia's Storage Bag will belong to me."
"This Poison Blood Sword is Devil Artifact. It has been infiltrated by demonic energy, making it difficult for Righteous Path cultivators to use. Therefore, we will destroy it."
"We will each take one of these three defensive magical Law Artifact. The Colorful Cloud Whip is a relatively rare type of Law Artifact, and it would probably be difficult to sell on the market."
"When Peng Xing was fighting just now, his magic Law Artifact Gilt Sword, was destroyed. I will give this whip to you to refine first, after I find a metal-attribute flying sword Law Artifact for you."
"You shall place it in the Clan Repository to expand the Lineage 'Clan Repository reserves of Second Grade Magic Tool."
"If a new Foundation Establishment is born within the Lineage in the future, and one of them uses a long whip, this whip will also be of use."
"Do you agree to this proposal?" Ling Yunhong asked, looking at the large number of spiritual objects in front of him.
Both Ling Pengyun and Ling Pengxing expressed their agreement.
This division of benefits will not harm their interests, since they have already obtained the items of the two Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Devil Cultivator they killed on their own.
As for Li Xia, whom the two of them killed together with Ling Yunhong, Ling Yunhong had been fighting against her all along. In addition, Ling Yunhong did not want Li Xia's most precious Lifebound Magic Item, the Colorful Cloud Whip, but temporarily handed it over to Ling Pengxing.
In the end, Ling Yunhong actually suffered a loss this time, only getting Li Xia's Storage Bag.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Ling Yunhong handed over the spiritual items that Ling Pengyun and Ling Pengxing had each obtained to the two of them. Ling Yunhong, the Clan Head, then sent a Communication Talisman back to the clan, instructing the clan's Great Elder, Ling Pengliang, to quickly gather the clan members and rush to the Luo Clan's territory to surround the Luo Clan's rear.
The three of them quickly rode on the Immortal Spirit Crane King and headed towards the territory of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan.
The Immortal Spirit Crane King flew at an incredibly fast speed. In just a few hours, it arrived outside Tiger's Roar Mountain, the Clan Mountain mountain of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan, and met Liu Daozhou, the Clan Head the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan.
After explaining his purpose to Liu Daozhou and promising to share 30% of the Luo Clan's profits with the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan after they jointly destroyed the Luo Clan, Liu Daozhou, who was already somewhat displeased with the Falling Dusk Luo Clan, finally agreed to join forces to destroy the Luo Clan.
Once the matter was agreed upon, Liu Daozhou, the Clan Head, immediately dispatched members of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan clan to the Luo Clan's territory to guard all the Low-Order Spirit Vein in the Luo Clan's territory, so as to prevent the Luo Clan clan members guarding these Low-Order Spirit Vein from escaping.
Because the Qi Refining cultivators of the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan were slower, the four Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Ling Yunhong, Ling Pengyun, Ling Pengxing, and Liu Daozhou Tiger's Roar Liu Clan Head Roar Liu Clan, rode their respective Lineage's Guardian Spirit Beast and headed ahead to Luoxia Falling Dusk Mountain, the Clan Mountain of the Falling Dusk Luo Clan, intending to besiege it.
Just as Ling Yunhong and the others were about to arrive at Falling Dusk Mountain, they happened to see Luo Minghui, the Clan Head of the Luo Clan clan, leaving Falling Dusk Mountain with several young members of the Luo Clan clan in a flying boat.
Although Ling Yunhong's effects from taking the Spirit Burst Pill had long since worn off, he was now in a weakened state and unable to make a move.
However, Ling Pengyun, Ling Pengxing, Immortal Spirit Crane King, Tiger's Roar Liu Clan Head Liu Daozhou, Liu Clan Guardian Spirit Beast Flame Cloud Tiger were still at the height of their victory.
With the combined full force of these five, they even managed to overpower Luo Minghui, who was at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer.
Of course, this was also because nearly half of Luo Minghui's Lifebound Array Flag were destroyed, greatly reducing his strength.
In addition, Luo Minghui was also accompanied by several young children from the Luo Clan, making it difficult for him to take full control.
After exchanging dozens of blows, Luo Minghui had no choice but to wait for the flying boat beneath his feet to escape back into Falling Dusk Mountain.
Meanwhile, Ling Pengyun and others took the opportunity to set up camp near Luoxia Mountain, the ancestral mountain of the Luo clan, to monitor Luoxia Mountain and prevent Luo Minghui from escaping.
Having accomplished this task, Ling Pengyun felt relieved and rode away on his family's Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Immortal Spirit Crane King, heading to the Hundred Spirits Sect to request a talisman.
With the help of the Immortal Spirit Crane King, Ling Pengyun traversed hundreds of thousands of miles in just over ten days and arrived outside the Hundred Spirits Sect.
The gatekeeper of the Hundred Spirits Sect was still Chen Fu, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had met Ling Pengyun a few times.
As a result, Ling Pengyun was allowed to pass by Chen Fu and enter the Hundred Spirits Sect, arriving at the gate of the "Spirit Talisman Residence".
As always, the gates of Spirit Talisman Residence remained wide open.
As soon as Ling Pengyun stepped into the mansion, a maidservant came to greet him.
This maid had seen Ling Pengyun many times before, and greeted him immediately upon seeing Ling Pengyun.
"Young Master Ling."
Ling Pengyun didn't seem to care, waving his hand before asking, "Are my cousin and my mother at home?"
"They're all here. Madam and the old lady are currently in the backyard, teaching the young master Law Technique," the maid replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun was startled.
It is important to know that only by drawing qi into the body and becoming a cultivator can one cast Law Technique.
The lady mentioned by the maid was clearly Yang Siling, and Yang Siling only had one child, Wu Hong.
But Wu Hong has only been alive for about four years.
Logically, a cultivator should be at least seven or eight years old when their body has grown to the point where it can withstand Spiritual Qi before they can begin cultivating.
"Xiao Hong, you're so young, yet you've already started cultivating?" Ling Pengyun asked in surprise.
