The Wan Household Caravan Is Ambushed
"Gentlemen, have you thought this through? Do you really want to be enemies with the Wan Household?"
"Although our Wan Household's ancestor has perished, don't forget that the strength our Wan Household has accumulated over the years is beyond your reach!" The Wan Household disciple in charge of escorting the goods shouted solemnly at the people around him.
"Wan Xing, your Wan Household's Golden Core Stage ancestor is dead. Instead of staying in Changliu, you've come all this way. You really don't know how to be discreet." A man in black robes, holding an iron fan, sneered, "This place isn't Changliu, nor is it the territory of their Spirit Moon Sect. So, you'd better behave yourselves and hand over the goods. Perhaps we might consider sparing your lives."
"You're courting death!" Wan Xing sneered and roared, "Form the formation!"
The six disciples of the Wan Household stood in the shape of the Big Dipper, with Wan Xing at the head. At the same time, they took out a jade talisman from their Storage Bag. Instantly, the light connected, and a great formation was formed in an instant.
Wan Xing, who was at the forefront, rapidly increased his aura and soon broke through the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm to reach the Pseudo Golden Core Stage.
Those who had come to surround and kill them all changed their expressions and shouted, "Attack! Kill them all!"
None of the people who came to do this were weaker than those at the Foundation Establishment Realm, so they all fought with great momentum.
Wan Xing snorted coldly, raised his hand, pulled out a folding fan, and fanned it sharply. A gust of wind howled past, and most of the attacks were blown away by the wind. Only a small number survived, but they were eventually blocked by the formation around him.
"Fellow Daoists, don't be afraid! His formation just trembled slightly. If we continue attacking a few more times, the formation will break!" someone shouted.
Wan Xing outwardly sneered, but inwardly he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. This formation couldn't stop the attacks of more than a dozen Foundation Establishment Realm at all; it could only buy him some time.
Moreover, don't be fooled by his imposing aura; it's just for show, meant to intimidate. His actual strength is only slightly stronger than Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator, and he has no chance of crushing them.
After several attacks, Wan Xing coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, as did the other Wan Household disciples. Even the Jade Slip supporting the formation developed cracks.
"Hmph! I almost fell for your tricks. You put on such a strong aura, I thought you had reached the Golden Core." A woman mocked Wan Xing in a cold voice as she unleashed a fireball.
The disciples of the Wan Household felt utterly hopeless; barring any unforeseen circumstances, they would all die here.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the sky, "How dare you intercept and kill our Wan Household's caravan!"
"It's the son-in-law! That's great! The son-in-law is here! We're saved!" Ten thousand disciples cheered.
But because of that momentary lapse in concentration, the defense he was responsible for was breached, and he himself was blasted into countless pieces by several Law Technique.
"Damn it, all of you better be smart, do you want to die?!" Wan Xing roared, while increasing his spiritual power output to plug the gap.
"Oh no! The Wan Household family has sent reinforcements! Husband, should we retreat?" A woman said anxiously, pulling at a slightly rugged-looking man beside her.
"Alright, I'll do as you say, wife. Let's retreat."
A man and a woman quietly retreated behind the group and disappeared silently into the forest behind them.
You're asking for it!
In the air, Tang Yu, who had arrived, had a gloomy expression. With a wave of his hand, several array flags fell from all directions, enveloping the besieging crowd.
"An array? You're Tang Yu, the son-in-law of the Wan Household?" One of them sneered, "What audacity! You dare to show yourself all by yourself!"
Tang Yu didn't waste any words with them. He formed hand seals, and several large formations were instantly created. Fireballs flew, swords flew, and ice spikes froze people. In no time, the place was transformed into a hell. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the people who were besieging him died, and their wails echoed through the sky.
In the distance, the man and woman who had already escaped watched the horrific scene with lingering fear, both shuddering. The woman murmured in terror, "I heard that the Wan Household's son-in-law is a master of formations, and now it seems it's true. We'd better not cause trouble for the Wan Household anymore. Whether it's this man or Wan Yue from the Wan Household, they'll definitely reach the Golden Core in a few decades."
"My wife is right. Let's not rob anymore. We almost lost our lives the first time we tried. It was too risky." The man sighed and said, "Why don't we go and get some Demon Beast to raise?"
"I saw some traces of Cloud Brocade a while ago in Tiger Roar Forest. If we can catch them, then it'll be a chicken-and-egg situation, and in less than ten years we can achieve freedom in Spirit Stone."
"Raising Cloud Brocade? That's a good idea. Cloud Brocade, a first-tier minor Demon Beast, isn't very strong, but its meat is extremely delicious. Moreover, not only can we sell its meat, but also its demon core, tail feathers, and claws." As she spoke, the woman's eyes grew brighter and brighter. "Husband, this is feasible! Let's go to Tiger Roar Forest!"
"By the way, my wife, do you think we should try the thing on that Jade Slip? Although the senior said not to try it lightly, I'm really itching to try it. How about we find something not too difficult and give it a shot?"
"That bicycle I've been looking at looks pretty simple. It's just a metal frame with two wheels that you can pedal to move it. It's completely useless to us, but it seems kind of fun."
"Alright, husband, if you want to try it, then go ahead. Anyway, I don't have a good opinion of those things. All that stuff about elements and molecules, I can't understand it at all. I've never even heard of them. And there aren't even any steps on it. How are we supposed to do it?"
"I feel that Jade Slip was left behind by some delusional fool to deceive us later generations. It only describes its appearance and function; I doubt even he could figure it out himself."
"Oh, my wife, you can't say things like that. Although I agree with it, we can't say it out loud. After all, the first few sentences in the Jade Slip sound quite sophisticated."
"What 'the Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao'? It doesn't seem like something a low-level cultivator like us could write."
"My wife, I have a feeling that this Jade Slip holds a great fortuitous opportunity. Perhaps we can both become immortals with it in the future."
"A great fortuitous opportunity? I think you've been completely fooled. To use the words in that Jade Slip, you're a complete idiot. You'd be better off thinking about how to catch those Cloud Brocade beasts. Don't underestimate them just because they're only first-tier Demon Beast; those things are incredibly cunning and not so easy to catch."
In the air, Shen Ge, who was watching the show, looked slightly uneasy. He hadn't expected that the things he had put down would be taken away so quickly, and it seemed that they had even learned a lot of new vocabulary.
Li Xue glanced at Shen Ge and asked, "What are you doing? Why did your expression suddenly become so unnatural?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something." Shen Ge scratched his head awkwardly. Now he was very glad that he hadn't left his portrait in that Jade Slip.
