One More Glance

In the darkness, Lan Chang'an did not fly in the air; instead, he concealed his presence with the Evergreen Art and moved through the mountains and forests.

Relying on the speed of the body refined through physical training, there are no fluctuations in Law Power, making it difficult for those below the True Person level to detect.

Looking back at Jade Moon Lake, dozens of miles away, the Mu Lineage had erected Clan Protection Array.

Lan Chang'an arrived at a mountain peak, sat cross-legged, and seemed to have turned into a withered tree, with no sense of existence.

"Wait."

Next, Lan Chang'an only needs to wait for an opportunity.

This opportunity may never come.

But he didn't care; he had a long life ahead of him anyway.

Foundation Establishment through impact is a process that takes time, and the specific time varies from person to person.

This process gathers the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and it is inevitable that it will produce some noise, especially at the final stage.

This commotion was small-scale and not significant, far less than that of the Golden Core Realm.

But Lan Chang'an was certain that the Maple Leaf Huang Family would notice.

Firstly, during the standoff between the two clans, the Huang Family's scout cultivators monitored every move at Jade Moon Lake.

Secondly, it's hard to guarantee that there's no traitor within the Mu Family. In such a large Lineage, it's not uncommon for one or two traitors to appear.

Two days later.

From the southern part of Jade Moon Lake, a rapid whooshing sound came, accompanied by the auras of three Foundation Establishment Realm.

Lan Chang'an sensed it from afar.

One person in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and two people in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

Since they were not present at the scene, their specific identities could not be confirmed.

Squeak!

The Earth Rock Rat emerged from the Spirit Pet Bag and, at Lan Chang'an's instruction, burrowed underground.

At this moment, above Jade Moon Lake.

Two men and one woman hovered in mid-air, looking down at Moon Heart Island, which was protected by an array, their expressions solemn.

The man in plain clothes in the center, with a weathered air and Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivation level, was none other than Huang Tankong, the top cultivator of the Huang Family.

On the right is a beautiful woman in a lotus-patterned dress, with a voluptuous figure, named "Huang Yingchun", the only female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment in the Maple Leaf Huang Family.

The young man on the left, dressed in a purple jade robe and exuding elegance, was "Huang Yu," whom Lan Chang'an had met a few days ago—the former Young Master Huang.

"Uncle Tan, according to our intelligence analysis, the cultivator in the Mu Family who is currently in the Foundation Establishment is most likely the family head Mu Chengji."

The beautiful woman in the lotus-patterned dress had an icy expression as she coldly stared down below.

"The Mu Family currently has no cultivators with High-Grade Spiritual Root or higher. Without Foundation Establishment, Mu Chengji would never dare to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment."

Huang Yu looked deep in thought.

He wondered, "The key figures of the Mu family have not had the opportunity to go out and plot the Foundation Establishment Pill in recent years. Where did they get the Foundation Establishment Pill? Could it be Lu Changan..."

"That's possible," Huang Tankong said thoughtfully.

"Normally, for a Rogue Cultivator like Lan Chang'an, obtaining even a Foundation Establishment would be quite an achievement. However, this young man has considerable connections; perhaps he can act as a go-between for the Mu Family."

"Yingchun, is Lan Chang'an still at the Mu Family?"

Huang Tankong gazed at the beautiful woman in the lotus-patterned dress.

"He's still here! This boy has recently been in contact with Mu Xiuyun's female disciple Mu Bingyun."

Huang Yingchun replied without hesitation.

"Tsk tsk, Lan Chang'an has some shady dealings with the Mu Family's daughter from back then. Now he's trying to seduce a young woman, setting his sights on that pretty young girl?"

Huang Yu Yulu sneered, her tone mocking and disdainful.

He had heard that Mu Bingyun was the most beautiful woman of the new generation in the Mu Family.

Don't laugh at someone who is only slightly better than you!

Huang Tankong glance, his expression displeased.

Huang Yu was sullen; he had slept with quite a few young girls outside and certainly wasn't qualified to talk about Lan Chang'an.

"Whether Lan Chang'an obtained the Foundation Establishment or not is no longer important. Firstly, there is no evidence, and secondly, as long as this young man did not directly participate in the battle, we have no reason to condemn him."

"Uncle Tan, the Mu Family is well-prepared. Their entire Lineage formation is activated, and their defenses are extremely tight. The three of us alone cannot do anything to them."

Huang Yingchun said worriedly.

The Mu Family secretly obtained Foundation Establishment, and without warning, they broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Upon receiving the news, the three Foundation Establishment rushed to the scene immediately.

The Maple Leaf Huang Family is some distance from Jade Moon Lake, so the main force of cultivators won't be able to arrive so quickly.

"It's alright. At this crucial juncture in the Foundation Establishment, the Mu Family won't dare to come out and fight. We can simply harass them from Moon Heart Island, and we can also send people to attack the Mu Family's surrounding properties."

Huang Tankong and had a well-thought-out plan; he remained calm and composed.

"This plan is brilliant."

Huang Yu and Huang Yingchun exchanged a smile, understanding Huang Tankong's intention.

For cultivators attempting to break through to the Foundation Establishment, mindset is crucial.

Even if they can't breach Moon Heart Island, they will still try to disrupt it and distract those attempting to reach the Foundation Establishment.

The following half day.

The three Foundation Establishment of the Huang Family unleashed powerful Law Technique to attack the formation of Moon Heart Island.

Whoosh! Boom!

Firestorms, lightning orbs, and earth-shaking Law Technique rained down on Moon Heart Island, targeting the Foundation Establishment ' area.

The Mu Family has two Foundation Establishment and many Qi Refining Realm cultivators. With the help of the second-tier Clan Protection Array, they are naturally not afraid of the attack from three Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Although the Huang Family's Foundation Establishment attack did not cause any real damage, Mu Chengji, who was attempting to break through to Foundation Establishment, could certainly feel it.

"Chengji! Stay calm, they're just bluffing."

Mu Renlong transmitted his voice.

At this crucial moment in the Foundation Establishment, the Mu Family dared not rashly charge out.

Putting aside everything else, no one in the Mu Family can defeat Huang Tankong, who is at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

If the Foundation Establishment, the Mu Family will win this round.

On a mountain peak dozens of miles away.

Squeak!

The Earth Rock Rat emerged from the ground and nodded at Lan Chang'an.

"Huang Yu, a young and vigorous Foundation Establishment cultivator, has indeed arrived!"

Lan Chang'an smiled, as if this was expected.

When Lan Chang'an met Huang Yu a few days ago, he made the Earth Rock Rat remember his scent.

The Earth Rock Rat had just burrowed underground and, without revealing itself, could smell Huang Yu's presence within a certain range.

He waited patiently to see if his prey would give him a chance.

Three more days passed.

Moon Heart Island, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi rapidly converged, forming a vortex.

The most crucial moment for the Foundation Establishment has arrived.

The Huang Family's three Foundation Establishment intensified their offensive.

At this moment, more than twenty cultivators at the Qi Refining Late-Stage from the Huang Family arrived, formed a battle formation, and launched a fierce attack on Moon Heart Island.

Numerous Law Technique attacks erupted continuously, causing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to become disordered.

"The instability of the Spiritual Qi environment has a slight disruptive effect on Foundation Establishment."

Lan Chang'an thought to himself.

Even if it has the slightest impact, the Huang Family is willing to do it.

"The key is that the mindset of the Foundation Establishment should not be affected; that is the main factor."

Lan Chang'an saw through everything perfectly.

"Huh! A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator is alone."

Suddenly, Lan Chang'an's heart stirred, and he looked in a certain direction near Jade Moon Lake.

"Yu'er, you led people to sabotage the Mu Family's Medicine Garden and mines."

Huang Tankong spoke loudly, deliberately making his voice carry throughout the entire Mu Family compound.

"Yes, Uncle Tan."

Huang Yu's face lit up with joy, and he led the four Qi Refining Late-Stage away.

This kind of work is somewhat lucrative.

Near the Mu Family's residence are Medicine Garden, mines, and Spirit Field fields.

These are not protected by the Clan Protection Array; at most, they are protected by individual formations.

Huang Yu first stormed into the Medicine Garden, only to find that the cultivators there had moved away beforehand, leaving behind only ordinary spiritual herbs that were worthless.

They wreaked havoc but gained very little.

"To the mine."

Huang Yu then led his men to a mine a hundred miles away.

This is the Mu Family's closest spirit mine. It is relatively small and only produces a small amount of Cold Iron Mine. It has a workshop for rough ore processing.

"Ah! Ah!"

Inside the mine, an elderly cultivator stationed there and a dozen or so ordinary miners were slaughtered by Huang Yu and his men.

At that very moment.

Call!

In the direction of Jade Moon Lake, the vortex of gathered Spiritual Qi suddenly trembled, like a flood bursting its banks, and abruptly dissipated.

"Hahaha... Foundation Establishment failed!"

Huang Yu's lips curled into a wide smile, and he burst into hearty laughter.

"Keep destroying!"

Huang Yu left behind a few Lineage cultivators and flew towards Jade Moon Lake.

He wanted to enjoy watching the expressions on the faces of the Mu Family cultivators, to ridicule and mock them to his heart's content, and to undermine their morale and spirit.

They had only flown a few miles.

A man in a black robe with long hair appeared in the forest ahead.

"Who?"

Huang Yu looked wary as he sized up the Black-Robed Man. He had a straight nose, thin lips, and a sinister smile.

A chill ran down his spine, a terrifying figure flashed through his mind, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Hey kid! What are you looking at?"

The long-haired man stood with his hands behind his back, his face grim, and a dark, demonic aura emanated from his body.

A powerful aura of Divine Sense from the Foundation Establishment Late Stage pressed down upon them.

"Liang Shaotian?!"

Huang Yu was shocked and activated his protective magic shield and defensive magic Law Artifact.

Boom!

He felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he had been struck by a blunt knife, and was immediately dizzy.

"Not good! Divine Sense attack..."

Huang Yu barely managed to break free, and immediately felt a strong gust of wind.

Click!

His neck was grasped by a long, slender, fair hand, which gently twisted it.

A head, its eyes wide open in death, rolled to the ground.

"Fourth Elder!"

Several miles away in the mine, several Huang Family cultivators screamed in terror.

"It looks like Liang Shaotian!"

A middle-aged man at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer was so frightened that he ran into the mine.

There was a rumor that Liang Shaotian disdained hunting down the weak.

"Liang Shaotian, why... why did you target our Huang Family?"

An elderly cultivator from the Huang Family, at the Qi Refining Late-Stage, trembled and murmured incomprehensibly.

"You're asking for death! How dare you even glance at me?"

The long-haired Black-Robed Man in the distance gave a cold laugh, exuding domineering arrogance.

"Liang Shaotian" reached out and grabbed Huang Yu's Storage Bag. His long hair danced wildly, demonic energy surged above his head, and he exuded the mental pressure of Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator as he flew towards the Northern Region.

In a dozen or so breaths, it vanished without a trace.
