Lin Mohe's Resolve

After this incident, Chen Qingming, the father, was so disappointed with the inaction of the Azure Sun Sect that he took his son and left the Azure Sun Sect.

The journey of Chen Qingming bringing Chen Nianzhi back was not smooth. It was only through his maternal grandfather, who was then at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer and was very old, that Chen Qingming was able to return to the Chen Clan, thanks to his connections in the Azure Sun Sect.

Even so, when they reached the Qingyuan Mountain, Chen Qingming was critically injured and on the verge of death. Covered in blood, he handed Chen Changqing over and breathed his last.

"Heavenly Hut Continent, a cultivator surnamed Qin..."

Chen Nianzhi closed her eyes, burying the past deep in her heart.

Having settled all Karmic Retribution, Chen Nianzhi cleaned up the battlefield and flew towards Dawnbright Valley on her sword.

When he arrived at Dawnbright Valley, the Old Clan Leader and the others had already arrived and were attacking the protective formation of Dawnbright Valley Dawnbright Valley.

Upon seeing him, the Old Clan Leader couldn't help but ask, "How is he?"

"My wish has been fulfilled." Chen Nianzhi nodded.

Seeing him nod, the Old Clan Leader excitedly grabbed his hand. "The feud between Uncle Dao Kong and the others has lasted for a hundred years. Our Chen Clan has finally settled this century-old grudge."

The Chen Clan family members were all somewhat excited. After everyone calmed down, Chen Nianzhi looked at the Mountain-Protecting Array of Dawnbright Valley.

As expected of Tier 3 Upper-grade Spirit Vein, Dawnbright Valley was so formidable that even with the combined efforts of several Purple Mansion Late Stage warriors, it took them three days to break through its defenses.

Upon seeing Chen Nianzhi arrive, Patriarch Qian excitedly stepped forward and said, "With Brother Nianzhi here, we will surely be able to break through this formation in a short time."

"Um."

Chen Nianzhi glanced at Patriarch Qian and asked calmly, "Does Patriarch Qian know anything about Origin Mountain?"

Patriarch Qian was slightly taken aback and quickly looked at Chen Nianzhi's expression, only to find that her face was very calm, showing no sign of joy or anger.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly nodded.

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, I am aware of what Xingming has done, and I will certainly give everyone an explanation now."

I hope so.

Chen Nianzhi spoke calmly, his emotions never showing, which made Patriarch Qian feel a strange pressure.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, the group prepared to attack Qiming Valley again. The force attacking Qiming Valley already included Qian and Fang, two Purple Mansion Late Stage, and four ordinary Purple Mansion.

Now, three more Purple Mansion Late Stage warriors have arrived: Xu Ganyang, Chen Nianzhi, and Chen Changxuan, in addition to the Mid-Purple Mansion realm warriors from Border Province.

This force is already extremely powerful. Even False Core realm cultivator would have to turn and run if faced with five Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivators working together. They could even hold off ordinary early Golden Core stage cultivators for a while.

Moreover, in order to finish the battle quickly, Chen Nianzhi and Patriarch Qian each used a Restriction-Breaking Precious Talisman.

One of these Treasure Talisman can suppress 30% of the power of Tier 3 High-grade formation. Although using two at the same time will have an overlapping effect, they together can still suppress the Mountain-Protecting Array by more than 50%.

Even so, relying on the support of the Third-Order Spirit Vein, the group still managed to break through it after half a day of attack.

Where is Lin Mohe?

After the group broke through the Spirit Vein, they did not find Lin Mohe.

Chen Nianzhi frowned and flew into the Subterranean Fire Vein like the others.

At the entrance to the Subterranean Fire Vein, Lin Mohe stood alone, calmly watching the crowd.

The crowd surrounded him, Qian Xingming, trying to seize the merit, sneered, "Lin Mohe, you have nowhere to run now."

"Yes, how could I possibly escape when surrounded by more than a dozen Purple Mansion Ancestors?"

Lin Mohe remained calm. He was only at the Third-Layer Purple Mansion realm, yet he possessed a certain composure in the face of death.

He stood there quietly, took out a purple gem, and calmly looked at everyone before speaking.

"If I can take a few of you with me before I die, then I will have lived up to the sect's kindness in raising me."

"Oh no, it's Lightning Tribulation Orb!"

Chen Nianzhi's expression changed drastically, and she quickly pulled the Old Clan Leader back.

At this point, everyone recognized the origin of the purple orb. When Golden Core realm cultivator undergoes Lightning Tribulation, they can condense the power of the Lightning Tribulation absorbed by their Law Treasure and refine it into Tier 4 Lightning Tribulation orb.

This Lightning Tribulation Pearl contains the power of heavenly thunder, comparable to the full-force attack of Golden Core realm cultivator.

That's not the most crucial point. The most crucial point is that Lin Mohe stood before the Subterranean Fire Vein.

If this Lightning Tribulation Orb were to attack the group, then a dozen or so Purple Mansion cultivators working together would certainly be able to block it.

However, once he throws it into the Subterranean Fire Vein, it will surely cause the earth to collapse and the raging Subterranean Fire Vein to erupt completely, turning everything within a thousand miles into scorched earth.

Lin Mohe was prepared and wouldn't let everyone escape. He grabbed the Lightning Tribulation Orb and leaped into the Subterranean Fire Vein.

"Boom--"

A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth, followed by a thunderous sound as if the sky were collapsing and the earth was splitting.

Chen Nianzhi raised the Purple-Blood Pagoda, the Old Clan Leader offered up the Great White Geng Metal Orb, and one by one, the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Purple Mansion took action, opening up one light barrier after another to block this terrifying power.

Immediately afterwards, it was as if a sun had lit up the sky and earth, and a terrifying crimson shockwave swept across thousands of miles, cutting off several mountains surrounding Dawnbright Valley.

The Subterranean Fire Vein were erupting, and endless Fire Baleful Force power swept through the void, forcing everyone's faces to turn red.

Qian Xingming, who was closest to the explosion, was the most unlucky. Although he had the cultivation level of the Purple Mansion Late Stage stage, he lacked powerful Law Treasure Divine Ability for protection. In addition, his reaction speed was relatively slow, and he was blown in half on the spot, and it seemed that he was about to die.

The other cultivators in the Purple Mansion reacted faster, managing to retreat thousands of feet in the nick of time, thus avoiding the maximum power of the Fire Vein's eruption. Although they were all seriously injured, they were not in great danger.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators who were searching for treasures on the mountain were unlucky. Those who were close by were instantly swept into ashes, while those who were a little further away had their defensive Law Treasure breached and were invaded by streams of Fire Baleful Force energy.

The underground Fire Baleful Force energy is extremely vicious. Even if a cultivator at the Purple Mansion level were to be infected by the Fire Baleful Force, it would take several months to completely remove it.

If Foundation Establishment cultivator is tainted by the Fire Baleful Force, they can only temporarily suppress it with their True Essence and then slowly neutralize Fire Baleful Force Sha Qi with treasures in the future.

"Xingming..."

Seeing his newly nurtured Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivator perish, Patriarch Qian held Qian Xingming's severed body in his arms, tears streaming down his face.

Chen Nianzhi glanced at him without showing any emotion. Qian Xingming cautious about his own safety when it came to important matters, but he would risk his life for small gains.

This person felt that Wei Chongyang was not easy to deal with, so he let him go. He then encountered Lin Mohe, who was in the Early Purple Mansion realm. Relying on his superior numbers, he thought he could seize the credit for killing him, so he rushed to the front. In his opinion, this outcome was within his expectations.

Chen Nianzhi and the Old Clan Leader retreated in time. Both of them had profound cultivation and were protected by high-level defensive Law Treasure, so they did not suffer serious injuries.
