Qian Jinghuan's heart gave a sudden thud at the sight.
Never in his dreams had he imagined that the august Ancestor Fire Fox would attack the moment she said she would. Still, he was a powerful cultivator in the late Celestial Realm after all, and his reaction was exceedingly swift.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Profound Qi within his body began circulating at high speed.
"Purple Extreme Yang-Rectifying Art!"
The "Purple Extreme Yang-Rectifying Art" was the Longzuo Qian Clan's clan-guarding cultivation method, and also a rare fire-type profound art that was upright, balanced, and gentle.
It had to be known that most fire-type cultivation methods in this world walked the path of fierce, tyrannical force. The "Purple Extreme Yang-Rectifying Art," however, was different. It placed greater emphasis on nurturing and tempering the body, accumulating one's foundation drop by drop, and expanding the qi sea. The deeper one cultivated it, the more one's stance became unmoving as a mountain, while one's Profound Qi grew vast as the sea. It could be said to possess both offense and defense, with a long, enduring reserve of strength.
This was also the foundation upon which the Qian Clan established itself. Without a powerful martial foundation, how could it become one of the overlords of all Longzuo Prefecture?
As the profound art began to circulate, almost in the blink of an eye, Qian Jinghuan's face was covered in a layer of purple aura. Energy surged around him, and in an instant it condensed into a protective shield of astral qi.
With the boost from his powerful late Celestial Realm strength, this astral qi shield was so solid it seemed almost tangible, and in the blink of an eye it wrapped his entire body up tightly.
The next moment.
