Chen Family's Chaotic Battle

"Form the hand seals!"

The Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak gave another order.

Disciples on the flying boat began forming hand seals and casting spells, and sword shadows and fireballs appeared one after another.

Ready to strike.

Wen Jiu also went through the motions of forming hand seals, but he could only flick his mana. So, he prepared to shoot a couple of spells downwards.

Soon.

After the flying boat descended a certain distance, the Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak gave another order. In an instant, over eight hundred spells rained down, instantly engulfing the Chen family's ancestral land in the Red Maple Forest.

Houses exploded one after another, and a maid who was carrying a fruit platter in the previous second was instantly swallowed by flames.

However, in the center of the Chen family's territory, a formation suddenly appeared, blocking the falling magical attacks.

As Wen Jiu watched from afar, quite a few people rushed out of the houses. Upon seeing the flying boat from Flying Immortal Peak, their faces showed shock.

There was panic.

And astonishment.

It was as if they never expected Flying Immortal Peak to suddenly attack.

At this very moment, the Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak took the lead, his sword summoning over a hundred sword shadows that whistled towards the Chen family. The seven elders followed closely, startling the panicked Chen family members.

Just then, a person rushed out from the Chen family. His appearance instantly stabilized the panic of the people in the Chen family's ancestral land like a stabilizing needle. Then, he swept towards them, enveloped in a chilling ghostly aura.

His laughter was sinister. With just one glance, Wen Jiu recognized him as the Blood Robe Tower expert who had injured the Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak that night.

"You actually chased me here. It seems that among the layers of restrictions left on the corpse, there was a spiritual sense imprint that even I couldn't detect... But you took a blow from my Soul Devouring Art and still dare to come. Truly foolish!"

With his words, The Blood Robe Tower remnant raised his hand and conjured a ghost head. The ghost head gradually expanded and transformed into a purplish-black lotus, just like that night, it surged towards the Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak—Ji Qiubai.

Upon seeing the purplish-black lotus attack, the Chen family members no longer panicked. Their minds settled, and they charged towards the seven elders of Flying Immortal Peak.

However.

Just as the two sides were about to clash, the aura of the Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak, Ji Qiubai, suddenly surged.

He instantly lost the appearance of being severely injured.

His aura even reached an unprecedented peak, crushing his opponent with overwhelming advantage.

Then, with a raise of his hand, he summoned a giant sword that rumbled into the sky and descended towards the black lotus at an extremely high speed.

Boom—

With just one strike.

The ghost head and the black lotus were both shattered. The Blood Robe Tower remnant, who had been so arrogant that night, was also smashed into the Chen family's territory.

"Retreat!"

"It's a trap!"

At this moment.

How could the Blood Robe Tower remnant, spitting blood, not realize it?

As soon as he spoke, The ground tiles cracked, Revealing a huge tunnel.

The Blood Robe Tower expert quickly rushed into it. The others also reacted, their previously calm demeanor vanishing instantly.

In their panic, they quickly followed.

"Chase!"

The Peak Master of Flying Immortal Peak, Ji Qiubai, sneered and led the charge into the tunnel with his sword.

The many disciples of Flying Immortal Peak who had not yet jumped off the flying boat saw this scene. While surprised, their morale soared.

So, everything was within the Peak Master's plan!

So, the Peak Master was not injured!

Everything was a pretense!

But seeing this, Wen Jiu was not surprised. After jumping off the flying boat, he did not join the Flying Immortal Peak disciples, whose morale had soared, as they chased into the tunnel, vowing to kill all the Blood Robe Tower remnants and Chen family members.

But Wang Nian took the lead.

He charged faster than anyone else.

While charging, he shouted about getting rich.

Helplessly, Wen Jiu could only let him rush in. He retreated to the back of the crowd.

He was afraid that the other party was also acting.

Truth mixed with falsehood.

Truth and falsehood.

Who can truly say?

So Wen Jiu decided to follow the Night Patrol Division disciples to deal with the Chen family first. After all, killing one Chen family member would earn him twenty Low-grade Spirit Stones.

He wasn't aiming for huge profits.

Just stable ones.

"Old Black, go!"

Wen Jiu immediately brought the Black Zombie and charged into the burning Chen family mansion.

He easily killed the Chen family members who charged at him with a flick of Mana, then severed their right thumbs.

These would serve as proof for the reward.

"Twenty!"

"Twenty!"

"Twenty!"

In just a moment.

He had earned a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.

He had to admit, the sect was the way to go.

A rogue cultivator wouldn't get such treatment for killing enemies.

However, while he had earned Spirit Stones, one thing puzzled him.

Why would the Chen family get involved with the remnants of the Blood Robe Tower?

As Wang Nian had said, the Blood Robe Tower and the Chen family were enemies. Even if they wouldn't fight to the death, they should at least be filled with hatred upon meeting.

This suggested that it was likely all about profit.

But what kind of profit could make someone forget their family feud and instead join forces with their enemy?

As he pondered this, Liu Xiao's voice boomed through the air, "Night Patrol Division disciples, quickly eliminate all the Chen family members, then search the surroundings for any other exits. Do not let a single Blood Robe Tower remnant escape!"

Following the sound, he looked up.

Liu Xiao stood with his spear, steady in the air above the blazing houses. Before him was a weeping Chen family elder, also at the Qi Refining Third Layer. These words seemed to be spoken deliberately to him.

The elder was clearly enraged by Liu Xiao's words. With tear-filled eyes, he roared unwillingly, "Flying Immortal Peak, damn Flying Immortal Peak... The Chen family is finished, my Chen family's three-hundred-year foundation is completely ruined."

Liu Xiao spoke coldly, "Chen Feng, the moment you betrayed Flying Immortal Peak, you should have been prepared for this. I will not only kill you, but I will also exterminate your entire Chen family! I won't even spare your relatives outside!"

The Chen family elder roared, his Blood Qi erupting at that moment, "Then you will be buried with me today!"

As he finished speaking.

Chen Feng shot out.

With a raise of his hand, he conjured a bloody ghost hand and fiercely grabbed at Liu Xiao. Liu Xiao directly met him with his spear.

The two clashed.

Liu Xiao was sent flying backward.

He retreated ten feet before stabilizing himself.

His expression then changed.

"I never expected that the esteemed Chen family head, the eldest grandson of the previous peak master, would also fall to become a Wicked Heretic, cultivating with blood and mastering the Blood Robe Tower's Blood Ghost Hand!"

Chen Feng roared, "To restore the Chen family's glory and no longer be trampled underfoot by your Flying Immortal Peak, any path is the right path as long as it leads to strength! It's a shame that my Blood Ghost Hand only reached the third level before you arrived..."

As his voice faded.

Chen Feng attacked Liu Xiao again.

Wen Jiu watched this scene unfold, with no intention of helping.

He could feel the aura of the Chen family mansion gradually changing, a surge of Blood Qi slowly rising.

Perhaps a bigger trouble was coming.

As expected.

The next moment, a large number of Demonic Beasts erupted from beneath the ruins amidst the flames, charging madly at the Night Patrol Division disciples. Of course, they didn't spare the Chen family members either, killing anyone they encountered.

About thirty feet from Wen Jiu, Night Patrol Division disciples and Chen family members who were locked in combat didn't even have time to react before several Demonic Beasts pounced, biting at their necks.

With a violent shake, the Demonic Beasts decapitated the Night Patrol Division disciple and the Chen family member on the spot. This terrified many Night Patrol Division disciples, who quickly retreated. One or two Demonic Beasts were not frightening, but dozens were truly terrifying.

Wen Jiu also retreated.

Not only were there many Demonic Beasts, but their strength was also considerable. Each of them was comparable to a Body Refining Second Layer cultivator.

Even a Qi Refining Third Layer cultivator would not find it easy to deal with a Body Refining Second Layer opponent, let alone ordinary Qi Refining Second Layer Night Patrol Division disciples.

And there were at least five or six of them around him!

Fortunately, the Black Zombie was there to block for him.

Not a single one could get close to him.

But Wen Jiu couldn't be happy.

"It seems my guess was right. The remnants of the Blood Robe Tower aren't completely unprepared."

Perhaps.

They had expected this day to come long ago.

Just then, Wen Jiu noticed that the demonic beasts torn apart by the Black Zombie's claws were bleeding profusely from their wounds, with a very strong concentration of Blood Qi. This immediately made Wen Jiu think of something.

Blood Qi.

Demonic beast flesh and blood.

Cultivating Corpse Blood required demonic beast flesh and blood.

Wasn't this readily available?

Ranked demonic beasts were hard to find usually.

And unaffordable.

After all, a pound of meat cost one Low-grade Spirit Stone.

These beast-like demonic beasts here, each weighed at least a hundred pounds!

With this thought, Wen Jiu began to have the Black Zombie kill the demonic beasts with all its might. An Advanced Stage Black Zombie, coupled with a triple Blood Transformation Body, could tear apart ordinary ranked demonic beasts with ease. It tore one apart as soon as it encountered one.

In a moment, three demonic beasts died by the Black Zombie's hands.

This directly saved nearly three hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Saving is earning.

It was equivalent to earning a small profit of three hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.

At this moment, Wen Jiu no longer regretted coming here. It was dangerous, but in this short time, he had earned over ten years' worth of salary.

With a wave of his hand, Wen Jiu used his Corpse Eye to devour and absorb them, then continued to lead the Black Zombie to hunt more demonic beasts.

However.

It seemed like the more they killed, the more appeared.

Wen Jiu then noticed that demonic beasts kept emerging from beneath the Chen family's houses, as if there was a demonic beast nest underground.

"A demonic beast nest!"

Wen Jiu was startled.

He subconsciously glanced at the ground beneath his feet.

Could there really be one?

Seeing the number of demonic beasts rushing out increasing, already over a hundred, and biting at the Chen family members and Night Patrol Division disciples.

Wen Jiu instantly understood. This was a mutually destructive tactic set up by the Blood Robe Tower people. They had indeed foreseen this day.

Good heavens.

How ruthless!

"We need to retreat."

Although the Black Zombie was powerful.

It was helpless against the siege of over a dozen demonic beasts.

Rather than having its Corpse Qi depleted, it was better to retreat first.

With this thought, Wen Jiu glanced at Liu Xiao, who was gradually gaining the upper hand with the help of an extra ally. Seeing that the latter didn't need help, he repelled a few attacking demonic beasts and began to slowly withdraw.

He retreated outside the Chen family's compound.

He retreated into the Red Maple Forest.

After jointly killing the three pursuing demonic beasts with the Black Zombie, Wen Jiu found a high vantage point and quietly observed the battle at the Chen family's residence.

Just then, Wen Jiu saw Chen Feng suddenly summon a talisman, a palm-sized demonic skin Blood Talisman.

Even from a mile away.

Wen Jiu could tell it was extraordinary.

Blood Talismans.

They were even more unorthodox methods than Yin Talismans.

Yin Talismans were at least drawn normally, but Blood Talismans were formed from the essence blood of many cultivators.

A single Blood Talisman required the death of at least a few cultivators.

And the more powerful the Blood Talisman, the stronger the cultivators that needed to be killed.

[Ticket sales are dismal.

Big bosses.

Please give me some recommendation tickets.

I'm begging you.

I can't push forward on the new book list... I'm always ranked around ninth or tenth.]
