Turmoil Rages, Pressure Mounts on the Du Household

Inside the Kong Household at Peacock Ridge.

Kong Wenxuan formed a hand seal, summoning the projection of the "Peacock True Spirit Star". The eldest brother, Kong Wenzhang, along with the fourth Kong Wenjun, and the sixth brother Kong Wenzhong, bowed to the projection of the "Peacock True Spirit Star" to receive the starlight of the "Peacock True Spirit Star" into their bodies.

Then, spiritual light shone from each of the three, and behind them, the Bloodline Divine Ability "Peacock Feather" condensed. These "Peacock Feather" changed into the five elements and five colors.

The two Peacock Feather behind the eldest brother, Kong Wenzhang, which were originally gold and blue, have turned into white and black Peacock Feather; the yellow Peacock Feather feather behind the fourth sister Kong Wenjun, has not changed much and remains yellow; while the gold Peacock Feather behind the sixth brother Kong Wenzhong, has turned into a white Peacock Feather.

Each of the three underwent a new process of bloodline awakening and obtained the corresponding "Five Elements True Scripture" bloodline inheritance from the "Peacock True Spirit Star". They were all overjoyed!

"Good! Excellent!" The eldest brother, Kong Wenzhang, looked at the two white and black Peacock Feather in front of him and said with a smile, "Cousin Wenxuan, I have always admired your ' Five Elements Divine Swords ' and have long wanted to learn and cultivate your ' Five Elements True Scripture ' and refine the ' Five Elements Divine Swords '. Now I can finally have my wish fulfilled!"

"I will definitely refine these two Peacock Feather into the ' White Metal Divine Sword ' and the ' Black Water Divine Sword,' and I will be like you, invincible with a single sword strike!"

The fourth sister Kong Wenjun, and the sixth brother Kong Wenzhong, who were standing to the side, did not speak, but they could not hide the joy in their eyes as they looked at the "Peacock Feather" Bloodline Divine Ability that had obviously undergone a transformation. They were thoughtful and clearly had plans for the refinement of the "Peacock Feather" and their next step in cultivation.

At this moment, Kong Wenxuan smiled and dispersed the "Peacock True Spirit Star" projection he had summoned. The eldest brother, fourth sister, and sixth brother were the last group of cultivators in the Lineage to worship the "Peacock True Spirit Star".

The clan chief went to great lengths to bring them back from the front line at "Demon-Suppressing Pass," not only bringing them back in batches but also taking an equal number of clansmen with them to disguise themselves.

However, their efforts were not in vain. The clansmen who served at "Demon-Suppressing Pass" returned in batches, received the baptism of "Peacock True Spirit Star", obtained the inheritance of "Five Elements True Scripture", and eliminated the threat of the "Cuckoo True Spirit Star" projection in their bodies.

Now, even if the Du Household "Cuckoo True Spirit," really launches its plan to extract the bloodline power of all servant cultivator Lineage in order to break through to the "Eighth-Grade True Spirit" position, the Kong Household doesn't need to worry about suffering any consequences.

Thus, Kong Wenxuan and the Kong Household were able to relax and be confident, observing the development of the situation and waiting for an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Once his elder brother Kong Wenzhang's excitement had subsided somewhat, Kong Wenxuan asked, "Brother, I've been in seclusion these past few days focusing on Foundation Establishment and Star Inlaying, but I don't know how the rumors and situation are at ' Demon-Suppressing Pass,' or in ' Cuckoo County.'"

The eldest brother, Kong Wenzhang, also suppressed his smile and shook his head slightly, saying, "The situation is very bad."

"Although the Du Household has come forward to explain that those rumors are false and that the enemy is deliberately slandering the Du Household in an attempt to disrupt the morale of Demon-Suppressing Pass and Cuckoo County, in order to prepare for the enemy to break through Demon-Suppressing Pass and even Cuckoo County."

"However, the effect was not good. The rumors were not suppressed; on the contrary, they spread more and more widely and became more and more rampant. Now they have spread throughout Cuckoo County, causing panic among the servant Lineage in the county."

"Currently, there is considerable resistance from various factions to the Du Household's order to conscript cultivators to guard the ' Demon-Suppressing Pass ' and defend against the beast tide attack."

"As far as I know, not only our Kong Household, but basically all the servant cultivator Lineage in Cuckoo County have not yet sent any cultivators to ' Demon-Suppressing Pass ' to carry out the conscription order after receiving the summons."

"I've even heard that some of the servant Lineage are conspiring to organize all of them to go to Cuckoo County City and force the Du Household Lineage to submit."

"We must make the Du Household withdraw and disperse the projection of the ' Cuckoo Star True Spirit ' that has been projected onto the bodies of all the servant cultivator Lineage."

Kong Wenxuan nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, and said, "It seems that there are some clever people among these servant cultivator Lineage who have probably already discovered that there is a problem with this ' Cuckoo True Spirit Star ' projection."

The eldest brother, Kong Wenzhang, nodded and said, "I only recently heard the clan leader mention it. Similar rumors have circulated in Cuckoo County before, but none have spread as fiercely as this time. They were usually quickly suppressed by the Du Household without causing any significant disturbance."

"The reason this has caused such a huge uproar is definitely because some force is behind it."

"The actions of the various servant Lineage were merely a matter of following the trend."

"But if this happens, let alone whether the Du Household and Cuckoo County can weather this storm, at least the ' Demon-Suppressing Pass ' at the front line is probably in danger." Kong Wenxuan said, looking at his eldest brother, fourth sister, and others, and said worriedly, "You all need to be careful at the ' Demon-Suppressing Pass ' at the front line."

The eldest brother, Kong Wenzhang, the fourth sister Kong Wenjun, and the sixth brother Kong Wenzhong, all nodded in agreement. The eldest brother went further, saying, "In my opinion, the Demon-Suppressing Pass is not just in danger this time, but is destined to be breached."

Outside the Demon-Suppressing Pass, a demonic tide has gathered and could break through at any moment. However, the people inside the pass are filled with panic, and the cultivators summoned by the Du Household have yet to arrive. It all depends on whether the Du Household is determined to defend the Demon-Suppressing Pass. If they are not, the Demon-Suppressing Pass will surely be breached by the demonic tide.

"As for us, you don't need to worry. The clan leader has already warned us that survival is the top priority. If the Demon-Suppressing Pass is truly in danger of being breached, we will retreat first and escape back to the Lineage."

"Anyway, now that our Lineage bloodline has regained the ' Ninth-Grade True Spirit ' position and is no longer subject to the Du Household, there's naturally no need to pay too much attention to the Du Household's intentions."

"In fact, in my opinion, it wouldn't hurt to rebel against the Du Household right now."

"However, the clan chief and my eldest uncle disagreed, believing that we are no match for the Du Household and it is not wise to be the first to act at this time."

Kong Wenxuan agreed with the opinions of the clan leader and his uncle. Although the Kong Household had successfully reached the Star Inlaying, there were only two Foundation Establishment cultivators, him and the clan leader. They did not have the time or resources to build a fighting force like the Du Household's "Cuckoo Dao Soldier Legion" and "Cuckoo True Spirit Legion". The gap between them and the Du Household was still too large. It was indeed not advisable to show their strength at this time.

In order to avoid drawing the attention of the Du Household to the Kong Household and exposing the fact that the Kong Household had successfully Star Inlaying.

The eldest brother Kong Wenzhang, the fourth sister Kong Wenjun, and the sixth brother Kong Wenzhong did not stay in the Lineage for long. After all, the disguise at "Demon-Suppressing Pass" could not last more than a few days. Now that the three of them had successfully received the projection of "Peacock True Spirit Star" and removed the threat from their bodies, they naturally could not linger any longer and were sent to "Demon-Suppressing Pass" by the clan leader.

Three days later, just as the eldest brother Kong Wenzhang had said, the servant Lineage that had been working together to force the Du Household to abdicate also contacted the Kong Household. After a moment's hesitation, the clan leader decided to follow the crowd and go to Cuckoo County City with the other servant Lineage who had been working together to see what was going on.

Upon learning this, Kong Wenxuan requested to go to Cuckoo County City with the clan chief.

The clan chief initially refused, but after Kong Wenxuan defeated him directly with the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation," the clan chief agreed.
