Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

169: Arrive”Fellow Daoist, do not resist stubbornly. Is the Dao of longevity not good?” The Devil Cultivator continuously mocked, disturbing Lin Houyuan’s thoughts.

The Cultivation Technique Lin Houyuan cultivated was only a Yellow Rank Cultivation Technique, and his True Qi was not condensed enough. At this moment, controlling three third-tier Medium Grade Magical Artifact swords was already somewhat strenuous, and he could only continuously retreat.

At this critical moment, the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators showed no intention of coming to his aid.

They were all Family Cultivators, mostly conscripted by the Sect. They would only protect themselves and would not come to provide support.

If it were before Lin Shiming’s disappearance, the Lin Family would have done the same. The battle merits from killing a Devil Cultivator were naturally not enough to make them risk being targeted by a Purple Mansion Cultivator Devil Cultivator.

Lin Houyuan only felt a wave of despair. He had been thinking of killing ten Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators, but he did not expect a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Devil Cultivator to appear, clearly targeting his soul.

”Are all Devil Cultivators so wishy-washy? If you want Lin’s head, then come and take it with your own ability!” Lin Houyuan was also enraged. A Foundation Establishment Middle Stage against a Foundation Establishment Early Stage, yet still so cunning—it truly angered him!

”Hehe, alright!” The Devil Cultivator let out a strange laugh. Then, from within his devil banner, three Devil Heads suddenly converged, actually forming a third-tier Middle Stage Devil Head. In an instant, its devilish might was overwhelming.

A huge black face appeared in the Void Realm, then revealed fangs entwined with black Qi, biting fiercely towards Lin Houyuan.

Lin Houyuan struck out with three swords, but they were instantly repelled by three black streaks of energy spewed from the Devil Head’s mouth.

Lin Houyuan immediately released various defensive spirit talismans, forming spirit shields and spirit armor, but they were easily pierced by the Devil Head.

With a cackling laugh, the Devil Head opened its large mouth.

Lin Houyuan only felt a wave of despair, and the Devil Cultivator couldn’t help but laugh loudly. Another Devil Head was about to be added to his collection. These Zhao Country Cultivators were simply too naive; at this moment, they were all still trying to protect themselves.

However, the next moment, instead of Lin Houyuan, countless golden spirit spears directly impaled the Devil Head, turning it into a porcupine.

The Devil Head instantly dissolved into black smoke, finally reforming on the Devil Cultivator’s devil banner.

”Who ruined my good deed!” The Devil Cultivator couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. This devil banner was his Natal Magical Artifact, and with the Devil Head destroyed, he naturally suffered injuries as well.

”Are all you Devil Cultivators like this, bullying the weak?” The person who arrived was Lin Shiming, dressed in a green robe. At this moment, his face was full of anger. He had just arrived on the battlefield and saw his father being furiously attacked by a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator.

”Hehe, Fellow Daoist, that’s not quite right. It’s just the survival of the fittest in the Cultivation world. If Fellow Daoist thinks it’s appropriate, why don’t you go kill those little Devil Cultivators, and I’ll help you deal with the wings of the opposing forces?” The Devil Cultivator chuckled, his eyes restlessly scanning Lin Shiming up and down, seemingly still recalling Lin Shiming’s Magical Artifact and Cultivation Technique.

However, this was Lin Shiming’s first appearance, and it was destined that the Devil Cultivator would be disappointed.

”Shiming!” Lin Houyuan looked at the young man standing in front of him with surprise, feeling incredibly emotional. As for life and death, he had long since come to terms with it.

And with Lin Shiming alive, everything was worth it.

”Father, leave this Devil Cultivator to me!” Lin Shiming said without turning his head.

At this moment, he was already a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the pillar of the Lin Family.

It was his turn to stand guard!

Seeing that Lin Shiming still intended to reminisce, it was as if he was being completely ignored.

The enraged Devil Cultivator immediately attacked. He held his devil banner, waved it, and instantly, black mist filled the air. Hundreds of thousands of ghostly Devil Heads let out eerie cackling laughs.

Then, countless pained faces appeared on the devil banner. Besides this, the black mist became even thicker, dense and oppressive, obscuring the sky.

After seeing the Devil Cultivator’s actions, Lin Shiming merely waved his finger, and instantly countless vines burst forth from the ground again.

The purple vines almost completely covered the black mist, coiling towards the Devil Cultivator.

The Devil Cultivator was greatly alarmed. They had seen wood-attribute Cultivators before, but a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator who could instantly unleash such terrifying third-tier vines was simply unheard of.

Then, the purple vines began to emit purple light, dispelling a significant amount of the black mist. Within the black mist, five third-tier Medium Grade white blade Magical Artifacts were also revealed.

The five white blades were only three inches long, but they possessed ample spiritual power and were extremely subtle, not easily detected.

If it weren’t for the Purple Gold Vine extending into the black mist, even Divine Sense wouldn’t have been able to detect them.

This Devil Cultivator clearly intended to use this set of flying blade Magical Artifacts for a sneak attack.

The Devil Head also condensed again, transforming into a third-tier Medium Grade Devil Head, spewing black streaks of energy that shattered the vines.

Subsequently, the Devil Head and the five flying blade Magical Artifacts simultaneously attacked Lin Shiming.

However, before the Devil Head and flying blades could fully unleash their attack, countless golden lights suddenly burst forth from beneath the Devil Cultivator’s feet, instantly spreading to his position. The scene of the Devil Head being impaled earlier reappeared.

He was instantly cut into minced meat.

And the Devil Head, lacking a Cultivator to activate it, helplessly transformed into black smoke and returned to the devil banner.

Lin Shiming retrieved the devil banner, the flying blades, and the Devil Cultivator’s Storage Pouch, returning to Lin Houyuan’s side.

”Father, you go look after the Family Qi Refining Cultivators!” Lin Shiming said, then noticed the worry in Lin Houyuan’s eyes.

”Don’t worry, Father, Shiming won’t be reckless. Here, even Purple Mansion Jade Liquid isn’t worth Shiming taking risks!” Lin Shiming continued to explain.

Only after Lin Shiming said this did Lin Houyuan feel relieved.

On this battlefield, let alone Foundation Establishment Cultivators, even Purple Mansion Cultivators were not considered much. As long as the opponent was determined to eliminate you, they would always succeed.

With Lin Shiming’s assurance, Lin Houyuan, knowing he was injured, did not go to the Foundation Establishment battlefield. Instead, he went to the Qi Refining battlefield to form battle formations and engage in clashes.

Lin Shiming continued to move around the Foundation Establishment battlefield, but he didn’t seek out Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivators. Instead, he only targeted Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators, always using the Purple Gold Vine to fight. Wood-attribute Cultivators were not uncommon on the battlefield.

However, a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator like Lin Shiming, who could unleash such rapid attacks as if having infinite True Qi, was naturally impossible to find a second one.

By the end of half a day, Lin Shiming had killed three Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators, including a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator from the Corpse Refinement Sect.

These Devil Cultivators and Corpse Refinement Sect Cultivators were all experienced and cunning. Lin Shiming couldn’t help but understand why Zhao Country initially suffered continuous defeats.

It was only now that they had barely stabilized. Perhaps some inexperienced Cultivators had perished, and the remaining Cultivators were mostly cautious and cunning ones.

As the sky began to break, a purple Qi emerged from the east, and the Devil Cultivators in the sky also issued a retreat order.

The Cultivators quickly returned to the river.

And Lin Shiming and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

On this battlefield, every Cultivator was under immense pressure, especially Body Cultivators. If they performed too well, they would become excellent Corpse Refining Materials for the Corpse Refinement Sect, and might even become the main Devil Head of a Devil Cultivator’s devil banner.

Lin Shiming had already controlled himself to an extreme degree, but he couldn’t show no strength at all. He had escaped from Cloud Mirror Mountain and stayed there for two years. This time returning, he would inevitably be investigated. If he appeared too useless, he might be subjected to Soul Searching.

If he performed a bit better, coupled with the family jade book, it might only lead to the use of a Soul Questioning Talisman. Moreover, it involved Lu Changming and High-Grade Spirit Stones, which was a huge headache for him at the moment.
