The Fall of the Ma Clan

Brush!

The spear's edge flashed past.

The one who made the move was one of the people on the Black-Scaled Eagle.

Such a decisive move far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Those who were deliberately observing the reactions of the Flower Spirit Sect members were astonished by the fierce aura of the spear.

Before most people could react, they heard a muffled thud.

That complaining elder of the Flower Spirit Sect probably still couldn't understand it, even after he was reduced to pieces of flesh of varying sizes.

I only said that, and the other party actually attacked.

Of course, if you can't figure it out, then don't bother trying.

The elders of the Flower Spirit Sect all reacted, their expressions changing drastically.

The Flower Spirit Sect Master's expression also darkened abruptly.

Having acted in the Eastern Region for many years, he instinctively intended to question them.

But the idea only flashed through my mind.

In mid-air, on the Black-Scaled Eagle, figures raised their long spears.

Silence speaks louder than words.

The attitude was expressed perfectly.

Either leave.

Either die!

There's always a reason behind making an example of someone.

The figures moved in perfect unison.

This was the first time the people of the Eastern Region had directly witnessed the actions of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, and the memory was profound!

In the blink of an eye, a new day has begun.

The Ma Clan.

Today is unusually lively.

It wasn't because it was a happy occasion, but because there were so many onlookers that it looked quite lively.

"Today is the last day, and it's almost noon. Is Ma Yunteng really not planning to come back?" a spectator asked curiously.

Someone glanced at him:

"People aren't stupid. With this commotion, would you be willing to come back?"

The man shook his head.

"That settles it. I bet Ma Yunteng is either hiding somewhere or has run far away by now."

Those listening glanced at the high platform above the Ma Clan residence and shook their heads with regret.

"It's a pity Ma Yunteng isn't coming back. He has one, two, three... uh, a whole bunch of women. Does the Li Clan think they can kill them all?"

"Nonsense. Rumor has it that Ma Yunteng set a trap for the Li Clan, ordering him to poison the Holy Son of the Holy Land. This is no small matter. Moreover, I heard yesterday that if Ma Yunteng doesn't return, today will be the day the Ma Clan is wiped out."

The various parties discussed the matter, patiently waiting for time to pass.

Among the crowd, members of the Xiao Clan also went.

As the saying goes, those who truly understand you are either friends or enemies.

Regarding the Ma Clan's affairs, they can probably make one certain guess.

Ma Yunteng was likely being used.

After all, the last time I saw him was when he came to the Xiao Clan to bully them, saying that the Xiao Clan didn't have many good days left.

However, at present, this statement seems to be a reminder to the Xiao Clan to cherish their nemesis.

"Not long ago, Xiao Ye suddenly returned and rescued Xiao Ya, and then this happened. I think it's possible..."

An elder from the Xiao Clan transmitted his voice.

"This scheme, this elaborate plan, must have been the work of his master. Because of Xiao Ye, he orchestrated this to secretly protect the Xiao Clan," another elder said, shaking his head with a sigh.

"Such kindness should be remembered by my Xiao Clan."

As the discussion unfolded, the sun gradually rose higher.

The number of powerful members in the Li Clan is increasing.

His expression also showed increasing impatience.

"It seems he really isn't coming back."

Li Zhen's expression was ashen.

In the past few days, we've investigated everything that could be investigated.

The investigation concluded that Ma Yunteng was crucial.

If Ma Yunteng doesn't show up and can't be found, the trail goes cold.

Thinking back to when I took the Soul-Strengthening Demonic Pill...

No, some things are best left unremembered.

After a moment's thought, he was instantly consumed by rage.

Looking up at the sky, Li Zhen took a deep breath and slowly spoke:

"Time's up, the opportunity's gone."

First, wipe out the Ma Clan as an explanation.

As the sound faded, the Li Clan family members entered the Ma Clan.

In mid-air, the flying boat returned to the Five Symbols Sect.

Lu Changzhi took out a storage ring and went to find Gu Qingyang.

"Here are some items found underwater; they should be helpful for the cultivation of the sect's disciples and elders."

As they spoke, Lu Changzhi handed over the storage ring.

Gu Qingyang took it and glanced at it.

Uh-huh?!

Gu Qingyang's arm trembled slightly, and he looked at Lu Changzhi with some disbelief:

"How can there be so many?!"

The Source Water Spirit Crystal was not unexpected.

After all, such a dense concentration of water elemental energy must have been generated below.

But these thousands...

This is definitely beyond expectations.

Lu Changzhi smiled and said:

"This place has existed for many years, forming its own area. If it weren't for this recent anomaly, it would likely have continued to expand."

Gu Qingyang nodded, then said:

Did you leave anything for yourself?

Lu Changzhi nodded and smiled:

"Rest assured, Ancestor, I will not mistreat myself."

In fact, with the Origin of Water present, the appearance and increase of Source Water Spirit Crystal is only a matter of time.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyang seemed to realize something and smiled:

"Alright, then I'll accept it on behalf of the sect."

At this point, the flying boat had already entered the Five Symbols Sect.

With a shout, Lu Changzhi got up and left the flying boat, heading back towards Hidden Origin Peak.

"Master."

Jin Fugui happened to be outside. When he saw Lu Changzhi return, he bowed and greeted him.

After a pause, as if remembering something, Jin Fugui added:

"I haven't finished the wine Master gave me last time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile.

Fugui has now learned to answer first.

Afterwards, they inquired about Jin Fugui's cultivation progress and whether he was lacking anything.

I still have the Dao Comprehension Tea, but I don't need anything else right now.

That really makes things much easier for me.

He got up, went back into the house, lay down, Lu Changzhi began to think.

Should we refine that Core of the Source of Water?

It is said that refining it is not an easy task and will take a considerable amount of time.

The Core of the Source of Water contains a power far beyond that of ordinary spiritual energy.

Even with a powerful physical body, refining it is an incredibly difficult task.

Even when refining the Origin of Water, a large proportion of cultivators die from their bodies exploding.

Moreover, it is an even more refined core essence.

Of course, for Lu Changzhi, the dilemma was about time.

"Let's wait for Fugui first."

After thinking it over, Lu Changzhi decided not to rush.

The signs of Fugui may appear sooner than expected.

My current cultivation level is almost catching up with that of the Old Ancestor Gu.

Things will come one by one; a breakthrough in one's spiritual realm should come before matters of Fugui.

As for the present situation...

Seize the last moments of midday.

Sleep!

At the table.

Xiao Ye continued to work hard as always.

After so much hard work, he has now made some progress.

Of course, this doesn't refer to physical strength, but rather to cultivation.

The posture for meditation has become more flexible; you no longer need to sit cross-legged, you can sit however you like.

Having tasted success, one should naturally work even harder.

Right now, we're working on it.

Suddenly, the system's voice rang out:

"Congratulations, young master, you have completed the phase task [Resolving the Xiao Clan's Predicament - The Ma Clan's Troubles], task rating: eleven."

Xiao Ye, who was busy practicing martial arts and learning about strange events in the world, was suddenly stunned.

This...

Did you do anything?!
