Azure Ink Mountain, Peacemaker [Second Update]

"You--"

Lin Mocheng so angry he almost spat out blood. If the fight continued, he estimated he could defeat Chen Changxuan in just fifteen minutes.

However, Lin Moqin messed up at the crucial moment, causing the situation to spiral out of control. Chen Nianzhi possessed the Purple Radiance Mirror, a Tier 2 high-grade magic Law Artifact that specifically counters magic Law Treasure, and her strength was almost equivalent to that of Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator.

If he joined forces with Chen Changxuan, then it would probably be Lin Mocheng who would be buried here. Helpless, he could only force Chen Changxuan back and turn to fly into the depths of the void.

Before leaving, he wanted to rescue the middle-aged beauty, but Chen Nianzhi raised his hand and used the Divine Ability power of the Blazing Fire Heavenly Sword to block it. Then he summoned the Blazing Fire Return-to-Ruins Sword, and the azure sword light swept across the sky, killing the injured purple-clad beauty in the void.

"Ah--"

Lin Mocheng overcome with grief, his blood boiling in his throat, and the murderous intent in his eyes was almost overflowing.

"Chen Nianzhi, you killer!"

"I, Lin Mocheng, will never forget the grudge I have inflicted today!"

Chen Nianzhi and the Old Clan Leader did not give chase. If a Foundation Establishment Late Stage expert is determined to escape, it is almost impossible to catch him.

Moreover, their Law Power was severely depleted, and the Old Clan Leader suffered a backlash, with some internal injuries.

The two cleaned up the battlefield and then landed on Spirit Apricot Mountain. The Old Clan Leader glanced at Chen Nianzhi and smiled slightly, "That old fool got impatient."

"You need to be careful around him from now on."

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered slightly. Of the seven Foundation Establishment in the Lin Clan, four had died at his hands. He truly deserved to be called a killing star.

The two Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators from the Lin Clan didn't possess many treasures; they only had five or six Tier 2 Low-grade Law Artifact in total, which weren't of much value to them.

Chen Changxuan put these items directly into his Storage Bag, intending to save them for the clan treasury later. There were also more than two thousand Spirit Stone, which the two of them split equally.

After distributing the Spirit Stone and treasures, the two climbed to the Spirit Spring on Spirit Apricot Mountain. The Old Clan Leader looked at the Spirit Spring and shook his head with a wry smile.

"What a pity."

The Spirit Vein of Spirit Apricot Mountain are only of the Tier 2 Low-grade, and the Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Spring is insufficient to unleash the full power of the Soul-Burning Separation Fire Formation.

This battle, having been struck by the Xun Wind Soul-Severing Sword Talisman, not only severely damaged the Blazing Fire Soul-Burning Formation Flags, but also caused a backlash against the Spirit Apricot Mountain Spirit Spring Spirit Spring, which has now collapsed.

Without the Spirit Spring, the Spiritual Qi of Spirit Apricot Mountain will gradually decline to the First-Tier Superior-Grade. To restore it, it will require an investment of tens of thousands of Spirit Stone to cultivate it back to the Tier 2 Low-grade.

The Chen Clan simply cannot afford these Spirit Stone given their current circumstances. In fact, if they had Spirit Stone, they would be better off using them to cultivate the Spirit Vein of Peaceful Sun City to the Tier 2.

Chen Nianzhi shook her head and could only say, "Let's recover our True Essence before the Spiritual Qi dissipates."

The two recovered their True Essence on Spirit Apricot Mountain, and a day passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Qinghao arrived late, just as their Law Power had been restored.

The moment he saw him, the Old Clan Leader looked up and asked, "How is he?"

"I have already informed the five major Lineage of this matter using the Yuyang Market's Mother-and-Child Communication Talisman, but we do not yet know their reaction."

The Mother-and-Child Communication Talisman in Yuyang Market is a third-tier low-grade One-way Communication Talisman. As long as you leave your writing on the parent talisman, it will appear on the child talisman, but not vice versa.

The purpose of this item is to enable Yuyang Market to immediately request assistance from various major Lineage when it is attacked.

In times of urgency, the Chen Clan launched a surprise attack on the Lin Clan without consulting the major Lineage beforehand.

The major Lineage of Yu Commandery are closely connected, and they will have to fight against the Demon Beast together again after more than twenty years. Internal strife is not good news.

To prevent the other major Lineage from reacting too aggressively, Chen Qinghao used the Yuyang Market's Mother-and-Child Communication Talisman to immediately transmit the message to the major Lineage, which could be considered as a way to stabilize the hearts of the major immortal clans in Yu Commandery.

Hearing this, the Old Clan Leader nodded and said, "Now that the Lin Clan has suffered a great defeat, it is the perfect time for us to press our advantage."

"Let's go to Azure Ink Mountain."

"..."

The Lin Clan rose to prominence more than two hundred years ago, but has existed for more than five hundred years. More than two hundred years ago, the Lin Clan was just a small Qi Refining realm Lineage that barely survived.

This lineage is quite lucky. More than two hundred years ago, a previous patriarch actually Self-Foundation Establishment and exhausted hundreds of years of accumulated resources to upgrade the Lineage's mortal city, Lin City, to the Tier 2 Low-grade.

Just then, Beast Turmoil, and a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan collapsed, leaving Azure Ink Mountain vacant.

The Lin Clan patriarch distinguished himself during the Beast Turmoil, not only seizing Azure Ink Mountain first but also obtaining a Foundation-Building Pill, thus cultivating a second Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Thus, the Lin Clan rose to prominence in a very short time, becoming one of the recognized Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan in Yu Commandery.

Azure Ink Mountain was originally a mid-grade level two Spirit Vein, and after more than two hundred years of cultivation by the Lin Clan, it was finally upgraded to Tier 2 Spirit Vein two several decades ago.

"This Azure Ink Mountain Spirit Vein seems to be causing some trouble."

The group stood at the Azure Ink Mountain, their faces showing a solemn expression.

Chen Qinghao frowned and said, "The Spirit Vein here is of the Tier 2 upper grade, and the defensive power of the formation far exceeds that of Spirit Apricot Mountain. With Lin Mocheng personally overseeing it, I'm afraid even if a Purple Mansion cultivator comes, it will be difficult to take it down in a short time."

"Then let's not attack." Chen Changxuan's expression also turned serious. "We'll just stay here at the foot of this mountain and starve them out. I don't believe they won't come out."

Chen Nianzhi shook her head and said helplessly, "They are trapped here, and there is Spirit Vein to supply their cultivation."

"But the Spiritual Qi here is thin. If we stay here indefinitely, it might affect our cultivation."

As they were talking, several sword lights flew over from the distant sky.

Chen Nianzhi looked up and saw that the people who came were Foundation Establishment cultivators from the major Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan of Yu Commandery.

Mu Xuanming, Meng Xinghe, and the others arrived together. Upon seeing the three, they immediately lowered their swords and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Patriarch Chen Clan, Fellow Daoist Nianzhi, why are you in such a state?" Mu Xuanming stepped forward, his face full of worry.

The Old Clan Leader frowned, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, and said, "Two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Lin Clan joined forces to ambush my nephew. If my nephew hadn't been holding back some of his abilities, he would probably have already perished in the Great Wilderness."

"How can such an irreconcilable feud be easily forgotten?"

"But..." Mu Xuanming's expression changed, but he still advised, "You are all the leaders of Yu Commandery. If you kill each other now, wouldn't that only make your own people hate and your enemies rejoice, and let that demon gloat?"

He paused, then said, "In my opinion, how about I act as a peacemaker and we all call it a day?"

The two family heads, Sun and Zhang, nodded in agreement, saying, "The Beast Turmoil is imminent. Your Chen and Lin families are the pillars of Yu Commandery. It's not too late to shake hands and make peace now."

"It's too late." Chen Nianzhi shook his head and said calmly, "I've already killed four Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Lin Clan; there's no way to settle this peacefully."
