Lingxing Mountain
Now that the Chen Clan is preparing to deal with the Lin Clan, they have decided to start by attacking Spirit Apricot Mountain. As long as they can seize this Spirit Vein, it will be enough to cripple the Lin Clan.
The two didn't waste any time and flew to Spirit Apricot Mountain on their swords that same day.
Spirit Apricot Mountain is only about 10,000 li away from Peaceful Sun City. The two of them traveled day and night on their flying swords and arrived at the outside of Spirit Apricot Mountain in less than two days.
"This is Spirit Apricot Mountain."
Looking at the Spirit Apricot Mountain before him, Chen Nianzhi frowned, a look of seriousness on his face. "Tier 2 formation has been set up on this Spirit Apricot Mountain, and we need to be careful in dealing with it."
The Old Clan Leader nodded. "It's Tier 2 Azure Wood Ji-Earth Formation. Even a late-stage Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator wouldn't be able to break through it."
"It's said that the Lin Clan has also sent Foundation Establishment cultivator Lin Baimin, to oversee things here. We should still be careful."
Lin Baimin is Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator. With his cultivation level, he can activate this formation. If an ordinary Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator were to enter, it's uncertain whether they would even come out alive.
Fortunately, Chen Changxuan possessed the Soul-Burning Separation Fire Formation, making his overall strength at least equivalent to two or three Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator. Chen Nianzhi's strength was also sufficient to contend with Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.
With the two working together, they were fairly confident of taking down the Azure Wood Ji-Earth Formation.
"Let's do it."
Seeing Spirit Apricot Mountain in front of him, Chen Changxuan immediately unleashed the Soul-Burning Separation Fire Formation to cover it.
At the same time, Lin Baimin on Spirit Apricot Mountain had a drastic change in expression and hurriedly activated the formation to block the raging Lihuo.
After blocking the Lihuo, Lin Baimin realized that it was Chen Changxuan who had made the move, and asked in disbelief.
"Patriarch Chen Clan, my Lin Clan has no enmity with your Chen Clan, so why are you attacking my Spirit Apricot Mountain?"
"No enmity or grudge?"
The Old Clan Leader sneered and intensified his Law Power to burn the formation, "At the Fengyang Market trade fair, Lin Baixi and Lin Moqin bribed Zhang Yiran to assassinate my nephew."
"Such a deep-seated hatred, is it not irreconcilable?"
"It's a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding!"
"Fellow Daoist, stop immediately! Don't let this lead to disaster!"
Lin Baimin, his face pale, said that even now he still wanted to stall for time and wait for the Lin Clan cultivators to come to his rescue.
But Chen Changxuan paid no attention to him, activating the Lihuo Refining Array while unleashing the Scarlet Flame Spirit Blade to attack relentlessly.
With Chen Nianzhi also joining the fray, the array on Spirit Apricot Mountain trembled violently, and its light dimmed at a visible speed.
If this continues, the formation will be breached within a day.
"..."
Meanwhile, on the Spirit Vein Inkblue Mountain, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Lin Clan gathered together.
After Lin Baixi's death, apart from the Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed at Yuyang Market and Spirit Apricot Mountain, all four Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Lin Clan who were capable of taking action were here.
Lin Mocheng and Lin Moqin, who were at the head of the table, both had ashen faces, which left the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators, who had just emerged from seclusion, completely baffled.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, a woman in purple couldn't help but ask, "Why did you urgently call us out of the pass? What happened?"
"This is a disaster." Lin Moqin looked distressed and recounted what had happened, then said, "This is also my fault; I failed to dissuade him."
After hearing this, the woman in purple turned pale and shook her head with a bitter smile, saying, "I've always seen that Baixi is stubborn and narrow-minded. This is not your fault."
"Now that Baixi has been killed by that brat, this feud has been formed, and we cannot ignore it."
Deep down, she was very dissatisfied with Lin Baixi's actions, but as a member of the Lineage's cultivation system, she couldn't ignore such matters.
Putting ourselves in their shoes, if this grudge is not avenged, then the Lineage will fall apart.
If Lin Baixi's Lineage doesn't care if she's killed today, will no one care if she's killed tomorrow?
Lin Mocheng, sitting at the head of the table, had a grim expression and revealed a chilling murderous intent: "I called you here to avenge Baixi."
"But..." Lin Moqin revealed a hint of fear and couldn't help but say, "The Chen Clan is no longer what it used to be. Chen Changxuan and Chen Nianzhi are both far stronger than ordinary people. I'm afraid we are no match for them."
"I think you've been scared out of your wits," another Foundation Establishment cultivator said with displeasure. "Don't boost others' morale and diminish ours."
"Stop arguing."
Lin Mocheng interrupted the group, his expression grave, and said, "That old scoundrel Chen Changxuan's strength is extraordinary; he is probably indeed far superior to us."
"Fine, let's take the Xun Wind Soul-Severing Sword Talisman and fight them to the death."
"Xun Wind Soul-Severing Sword Talisman!"
The expressions of the crowd changed slightly. The Xun Wind Soul-Severing Sword Talisman was a third-tier low-grade talisman, and it was also the greatest legacy left to the Lin Clan by Lin Mohe, a cultivator of the Purple Mansion.
After Lin Mohe broke through to the Purple Mansion, in order to repay the bloodline Karmic Retribution, he spent a huge price to inscribe his divine Divine Ability, the ' Xun Wind Soul-Severing Sword,' into a talisman and gave it to the Lin Clan along with three Foundation-Building Pill.
Once activated, this talisman is almost equivalent to Lin Mohe personally activating the Divine Ability ' Xun Wind Soul-Severing Sword ', possessing terrifying power that can shake the heavens and earth. If used at the right time, it can even severely injure Purple Mansion cultivator.
Upon hearing that he intended to use this talisman, Lin Moqin's expression changed, and he couldn't help but say, "That's the foundation left to us by Mohe. How can we use it lightly unless it's time to exterminate our clan?"
"What time is it? Why aren't you saving it for later?" Lin Mocheng said coldly. "If we don't avenge this grudge, what right do we have to establish ourselves in Yu Commandery?"
As the group was talking, a cultivator rushed in from outside the hall, his face full of panic.
"Something's wrong! A message has come from the Mother-and-Child Communication Talisman: someone is attacking Spirit Apricot Mountain!"
"The Chen Clan acted swiftly." Lin Mocheng immediately stood up, waved his sleeve, and said, "We will go and fight the Chen Clan, and make Chen Clan pay the price."
Meanwhile, Chen Qinghao went to Yuyang Market and used the Marketplace's communication talisman to send messages to the various Lineage, informing them of what had happened. Then he headed directly to Spirit Apricot Mountain.
Meanwhile, on Spirit Apricot Mountain, Chen Nianzhi and the Old Clan Leader were constantly attacking the Mountain-Protecting Array.
The defensive power of this Azure Wood Ji-Earth Formation is indeed Bu Fan. Even if two or three ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators came here, they would probably find it difficult to break through it in a short time.
However, the Old Clan Leader's Soul-Burning Separation Fire Formation was even more powerful. If this formation was set up based on Tier 2 high-grade Spirit Vein, it could probably hold off Purple Mansion cultivator for a period of time.
Driven by the Old Clan Leader's cultivation level, although it was much weaker, it was still no less powerful than this Tier 2 mid-grade Azure Wood Ji-Earth Formation.
With the two of them continuously attacking with Tier 2 high-grade Law Treasure, the formation of Spirit Apricot Mountain was quickly brought to the brink of collapse.
"No, if we keep fighting like this, we probably won't last even half a day."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Baimin's expression turned serious.
He took a deep breath, preparing to activate the formation to counterattack and see if he could drive the two back.
