The Fall of the Zhang Clan, Growth Through Experience

Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin now attack about twice a day.

Once in the morning and once at midnight.

After the battle, immediately summarize the combat experience to improve oneself.

At other times, they cultivate and adjust their state so that they can go all out when attacking.

After three days of this, the entire Zhang Clan could no longer hold back.

We lose manpower every single day.

This is like a sword of Damocles hanging over us.

Death itself is not frightening, but the time spent waiting for death to arrive is truly terrifying.

Such heavy losses, with no solution in sight, are naturally a huge blow to morale.

The entire Zhang Clan has gone from being confident at the beginning to being fearful and negative now.

The other family factions also withdrew all the personnel they had initially assigned.

They had all witnessed the losses the Zhang Clan had suffered in the past few days.

The enemy is far too powerful; there's absolutely no need to provoke such a terrifying foe because of the Zhang Clan.

Anyway, it's better for me to die than for my fellow Daoists.

As for what will happen after the Zhang Clan is destroyed?

That will have to wait until after the Zhang Clan is destroyed.

If the enemy doesn't stop by then, then we'll have no choice but to fight to the death.

If they stop, then everyone will be happy.

Anyway, they're not planning to put in any effort now.

After all, if they step forward to help now, they'll definitely be attacked along with everyone else.

The Zhang Clan, already in a difficult situation, faced even greater hardship after all those forces withdrew.

They returned empty-handed for three consecutive days, and also lost a significant number of men.

At this point, the Zhang Clan's higher-ups had lost confidence that they would safely weather this crisis.

Zhang Clan Secret Chamber.

"Tell me, what should we do now?"

Zhang Ling of the Zhang Clan family, asked.

There were only seven people in the entire Secret Chamber.

Besides the three high-ranking Dou Ling members from the Zhang Clan, there are only four people above the seventh level of Da Dou Shi left.

Originally, the Zhang Clan had more than a dozen high-ranking members who were at or above the seventh level of the Da Dou Shi.

Those people have all been dealt with by Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin within the past three days.

It was precisely this enormous loss that scared off other family forces.

Upon hearing the patriarch's question, everyone remained silent, like quails.

After all, what they had experienced over the past three days had dealt them a huge blow.

I simply can't think of a way to resolve this crisis.

With the support of various treasures crafted by Wang Chen, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were able to achieve their goals.

In the past three days, the Zhang Clan still hasn't figured out the identities of Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.

Not to mention figuring out a way to deal with Xiao Yi Xian and the others.

Without even a sliver of information, there's no way to come up with a solution.

The reason there was no news at all was because Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin's initial attack eliminated all the Zhang Clan family members who knew about the situation.

The Zhang Clan naturally had no idea who was targeting them.

As for the city guards who provided the information to that elder, they naturally wouldn't have informed the Zhang Clan.

After all, the Zhang Clan suffered heavy losses in the past few days.

If the Zhang Clan finds out that the reason is because of me, they will definitely suffer the consequences.

Not to mention that the Zhang Clan has been under constant attack.

If you run over to deliver a message and get killed by the Zhang Clan's attackers, that would be a huge loss.

Under these two factors, the city guard simply chose to forget about the matter.

That's why the Zhang Clan still doesn't know why Xiao Yi Xian attacked them.

Why isn't anyone saying anything?

"Everyone is probably aware of what happened over the past three days."

If this continues, the Zhang Clan's destruction is imminent.

"At that time, none of us will be able to escape either."

Seeing that everyone was silent, the Zhang Clan's Supreme Elder Peak Dou Ling, directly reprimanded them.

Unfortunately, this still didn't help at all.

Everyone remained silent.

After all, this is indeed somewhat unsolvable.

All the defensive forces were concentrated at the family's Headquarters, yet they still suffered such heavy losses.

Now, after three days, the defensive forces are much smaller than they were at the beginning.

That made it even more impossible to reverse the situation.

Inside the entire Secret Chamber, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

No one spoke.

Are we all just waiting to die?

Despite the reprimands from the higher-ups of the Dou Ling, those Da Dou Shi still offered no suggestions.

Seeing this situation, the three Dou Ling were speechless.

We can only follow the strategy we discussed at the beginning of the meeting.

"Since there's no other way, we can only fight to the death."

Tonight, all forces will be concentrated and retreat to the center of the clan's Headquarters, abandoning the outer perimeter.

If the enemy continues to attack, then we will swarm them.

If we win, then everyone is naturally happy.

"If we lose, it's better to die than to wait for death in fear."

"Yes."

After Zhang Ling of the household, proposed the final solution, the other Da Dou Shi all echoed his opinion.

Since there were no other options, we had no choice but to fight to the death.

To rise to the position of a high-ranking elder in the Zhang Clan, besides possessing considerable ability, one must also have a commendable character.

They still have the courage to fight to the death.

After all the high-ranking Da Dou Shi went to carry out the orders, the three remaining Dou Ling of the Zhang Clan exchanged glances and finally sighed.

If given a choice, they would absolutely not have implemented this strategy.

The success rate of this method is indeed not very high.

There was absolutely no other way; we had no choice but to fight a desperate battle.

"Is everything arranged?"

The Supreme Elder, who was at the Peak Dou Ling, asked Zhang Ling a question.

"Everything has been arranged."

Among the younger generation of the Zhang Clan, thirteen with considerable talent have been secretly gathered by me.

Each person also carried a Storage Ring containing resources and cultivation techniques.

If the enemy appears tonight, we need to hold them off to buy time for our juniors to escape.

Upon hearing the Supreme Elder's question, Zhang Ling also spoke up.

He arranged all of these things secretly.

During the previous attacks, they had already realized that the Zhang Clan might not be able to weather this crisis.

Since that's the case, then naturally we need to think about a way out.

It's extremely difficult for a renowned Da Dou Shi to escape.

Although they are quite capable, they attract too much attention.

Only the weaker, less capable juniors have the chance to successfully escape.

As long as a few manage to escape, at least the Zhang Clan family line will not be broken, and there will be a chance for them to rise again in the future.

To maintain maximum secrecy, these tasks were handled by the most loyal subordinates assigned by the Zhang Ling.

And it was very well hidden, without letting a word out.

Apart from the three of them, even the high-ranking members of the Zhang Clan who were Da Dou Shi were unaware of this.

"In that case, we must stall for some time."

Hearing Zhang Ling's words, Zhang Dan also spoke up.

The other two nodded in agreement.

The three of them had made up their minds to contribute to the continuation of their family line.

It's not that they didn't want to live, but that they had no choice.

As a master of Dou Ling, he's setting too high a target.

It's simply impossible to escape without a trace.

Since that's the case, I might as well use myself as bait and contribute to the future generations of the family.

In the Dou Qi Continent, whether you're a good person or a bad person, what you value most is always the inheritance.

They are not afraid to make sacrifices for the sake of preserving their family's power.

Deep in the Viper Forest.

"Bang!"

A Tier 5 Poison Snake demon beast was knocked senseless by a single punch and lay motionless on the ground.

"It's probably about the same, let's prepare to head back."

Wang Chen descended from mid-air and addressed Queen Medusa and Zi Yan.

Over the past few days, guided by Zi Yan's treasure-hunting talent, Wang Chen has been rapidly searching for various resources and treasures in the Viper Forest.

After these few days, we've collected almost everything.

He planned to go back and check on Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin first.

After all, this was Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin's first time, so Wang Chen was a little worried.

If we get tricked and something unexpected happens, that would be bad.

Even though Wang Chen had already left Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin many self-defense measures.

However, they were still inexperienced and lacked the ability to grasp the wickedness of human nature.

In this respect, we still need Wang Chen's help to oversee things.

Since we've already found most of the treasures, there's no need to stay in the Viper Forest any longer.

"Receive!"

After saying a few words to Queen Medusa and Zi Yan, Wang Chen took a bag from his waist and put the knocked-out Tier 5 Poison Snake beast into his pocket.

This bag was specially crafted and enhanced by Wang Chen.

The storage space isn't particularly large, but it has one advantage: it can accommodate living creatures.

Even if it requires a living creature to faint, it is still quite unusual.

At least the Storage Ring cannot do this.

This Tier 5 Poison Snake demon beast was something Wang Chen specifically brought back for Qing Lin.

It is likely that after this experience, Qing Lin will be able to further improve his ability to develop and utilize the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

This thing will also make the growth efficiency of the Qing Lin even higher.

Let's go.

After Wang Chen cleaned up the scene, he also called out to Queen Medusa and Zi Yan.

Queen Medusa naturally had no objections to Wang Chen's arrangements.

Since it's all about spiritual practice, it doesn't matter where you practice.

As for Zi Yan, she was a little bit unwilling.

After all, she had had a really great time these past few days.

They've all gotten a bit wild and crazy, so naturally they don't want to go back so soon.

However, faced with Wang Chen's arrangement, she ultimately had no choice but to go along with him.

Even though they were unwilling, they didn't object.

After all, Wang Chen was the big spender who supplied the pills, so Zi Yan naturally dared not offend him.

Having experienced the endless supply of high-level pills to accelerate their growth, they naturally don't want to go back to their previous frugal lifestyle.

After boarding the White Swan, Wang Chen and his group quickly returned.

Previously, they needed to wander around the Viper Forest in search of treasure.

Now, we only need to return in a straight line, which is naturally much faster.

In less than half a day, Wang Chen and his group arrived at the outskirts of the Viper Forest.

Instead of continuing forward, they landed the White Swan.

Wang Chen didn't know how Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin's training was going, so he naturally didn't want to alert them.

This caused problems with their training.

After landing, the group quietly left and headed towards Snake Spirit City.

It was midnight at the Zhang Clan's Headquarters in the Snake Spirit City.

"There's nobody around here!"

Just like the previous few days, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin planned to continue their training at the Zhang Clan Piglet's place.

But to everyone's surprise, the Zhang Clan hadn't deployed any personnel on the perimeter.

"What should we do, Xiao Yi Xian?"

Qing Lin also asked.

After summarizing the battles over the past few days, Qing Lin has also grown stronger.

Not only has his own Dou Qi cultivation level increased by one star, but his combat experience has also become quite rich.

While not to say they can perfectly utilize their theoretical combat strength, they can certainly achieve 80% of it.

"Now that the Zhang Clan has made their choice, let's get started."

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yi Xian spoke up.

Launching a full-scale offensive now is contrary to the original plan.

But that's life; plans never keep up with changes.

Launching a full-scale offensive now will still allow us to gain considerable combat experience.

Since my safety is guaranteed, what is there to be afraid of?

Having made their decision, the two wasted no time and headed straight for the center of the Zhang Clan's Headquarters.

"Boom! Boom!"

The familiar opening sequence.

Qing Lin released two Fourth-Order Magical Beasts to lead the charge.

This time, Xiao Yi Xian didn't hold the line like usual; instead, she launched an attack directly.

The entire Zhang Clan sprang into action instantly.

The Zhang Clan, having anticipated this, mobilized all their experts to launch a siege against Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.

Even the three Dou Ling experts didn't lag behind this time, all participating in the battle.

Zhang Ling and his subordinates besieged Qing Lin and the two Fourth-Order Magical Beasts, while the remaining two Dou Ling chose to besiege Xiao Yi Xian.

Even without using her Woeful Poison Body attack, Xiao Yi Xian was still held back by two Dou Qi experts with higher Dou Ling cultivation.

Even though both of the Zhang Clan's Dou Ling are poison cultivators.

His intimidating presence was completely useless.

However, despite his reckless outburst, Xiao Yi Xian was not so easily defeated.

As for Zhang Ling's situation, it was much more dangerous.

In terms of raw power, he is no match for two Fourth-Order Magical Beast working together.

Fortunately, with the assistance of other Da Dou Shi, and his own reckless burst of power, he was able to delay Qing Lin.

Although the Zhang Clan was at a disadvantage overall.

It probably won't be long before Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin are able to win.

However, for the several Dou Ling experts from the Zhang Clan, this was precisely the time they were after.

After the battle broke out, the Zhang Clan family members, who were already prepared, quietly left their Headquarters.

They prepared to leave Snake Spirit City and carry on the Zhang Clan tradition.

About ten minutes later, the battle at the Zhang Clan's house was basically over.

The Zhang Clan's experts were already at a disadvantage, but with their reckless outbursts, they were barely able to hold on.

However, this kind of outburst is not sustainable at all.

After the outbreak ended, it was easily dealt with by Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.

With the vast majority of the high-ranking members wiped out, the Zhang Clan Snake Spirit City can basically be declared extinct.
