Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 252: Chapter 160: Turbulent Winds, Battle Ignites, Five Beasts Seven Stars Array (Part 3)

At this moment.

At the gap.

A middle-aged man flickered and appeared, raising half of a Jade Talisman in his hand towards the void.

Ping Clan Leader focused his gaze.

And said to the other five:

”He is indeed our Ping Family’s spy.”

Hee Clan Leader and Cao Clan Leader stood still, even stepping back a bit:

”Brother Ping, please go first!”

They knew nothing about the Ping Family spy, so naturally, they wanted the Ping Family to proceed first to be safe.

Along the way.

Ping Xingyu was looked down upon by the other two families in various ways.

But the Ping Family was key in attacking the Cloud Soaring Tribe. Now that the Array was open, being treated as guinea pigs was intolerable:

”If the two Clan Leaders do not trust us, you might as well not enter, we will just retreat now!”

This time.

No matter what.

They would not back down.

They were truly being treated as servants.

Ping Clan Leader showed no expression, but he did not stop Ping Xingyu, clearly having endured the Cao Family and others for a long time as well.

Cao Clan Leader and Hee Clan Leader quickly exchanged glances.

The Ping Family, even if they had the guts of bears and leopards, would not dare collude with the Southern Barbarians.

Cao Clan Leader smiled and said:

”If that’s the case, I’ll take the lead.”

Cao Clan Leader flashed and entered the Array.

After a while.

The Jade Talismans on the Cao progeny standing behind lit up briefly, and he nodded happily to the other four: ”Everyone, we can go in!”

Before he finished his words.

Hee Clan Leader and the others rushed in faster than anyone else.

Seeing this, Ping Xingyu quickly said: ”Clan Leader, let’s go too.”

Ping Xingyu, however, stood still, his gaze on the spy, whose eyes revealed a trace of guilt beneath the panic:

”Something’s wrong!”

Ping Clan Leader’s pupils shrank:

”Retreat!”

Immediately, they transformed into Escape Light and rushed towards the direction they came from.

At the same time.

Buzz!

The Five Beasts Seven Stars Array’s light curtain suddenly descended behind them.

Ping Xingyu glanced back, full of disbelief, realizing their spy placed within the Cloud Soaring Tribe had been turned, and if not for the Clan Leader’s alertness, they would have been trapped by now.

The Five Beasts Seven Stars Array is a Tier Three Array.

Entering it in Foundation Establishment is almost certain death.

Ping Xingyu felt a lingering fear, having walked past Ghost Gate, and was about to say something, when suddenly he saw, a hundred yards in front, the clear sky suddenly rained down ice, changing the surroundings:

”Ice Hurricane Array!”

The Cloud Soaring Tribe had set up an ambush with an Array here too.

Ping Xingyu was greatly shaken.

One wrong move today and the two of them would fall here, leaving only Xinghai, a newly established Foundation, in the Ping Family, foreshadowing the family’s doom.

He could die, but the Clan Leader must return alive.

Ping Xingyu’s mind raced, reacting swiftly, forming a Technique as an Elemental Spirit Shield hovered over them, clanking as ice cones fell, sending sparks flying.

At the same time.

A whirlwind vortex formed mid-air, from which ice arrows shot densely onto the Elemental Spirit Shield, cracking sounds echoed as the shield began to fracture.

A glint of determination flashed in Ping Clan Leader’s eyes as he formed a mudra with his right hand, and a Bursting Spirit Pearl floated into the air, expanding with the sound of incantations, exploding in the next instant with a thunderous roar!

The Ice Hurricane Array was shattered!

From outside the Array, Muraaki Sayo and Nagano Kei of the Niuteng Tribe appeared with a flicker, both at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Ping Clan Leader quickly said:

”Xingyu, you go first, I’ll hold them off, quick!”

Ping Xingyu originally planned to let the Clan Leader escape no matter what, but facing two Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, he had no means to counterattack, immediately crushed the Flying Talisman in his hand, transforming into two wings growing on his shoulders, disappearing instantly with their flapping.

Muraaki Sayo and Nagano Kei from the Niuteng Tribe moved without a word, casting a Hundred Sword Talisman, which self-ignited with a roar, sending hundreds of Sword Lights shooting out, surrounding Ping Clan Leader, cutting off his retreat.

....

Cloud Soaring Tribe.

Chunyu Yue carried a food box to the dungeon entrance, flatteringly handing a box to the guard Yali:

”Yali, you know what kind of person your aunt is, I just want to go in for a moment to see my husband and I’ll be out, it won’t even take half a cup of tea time, you grew up under your aunt’s care, just this once, let me in. Today is the tribe’s grand festival, everyone is too busy to care about the dungeon, so let your aunt in this once.”

Yali shook his head like a rattle:

”Seventh Aunt, Elder Kunm gave a death order half a year ago, no one can enter the dungeon without his command, violators will be executed, it’s not that I don’t appreciate your kindness, but it’s a decree of the king!”

Chunyu Yue’s face turned cold:

”I can’t go in, but you can at least take this food box with Celestial Jade Cake to my husband, today is his birthday after all.”

Food couldn’t be sent in either.

Yali was about to refuse, but Chunyu Yue had already shoved the food box into his hands, storming off. Looking down at the box, Yali saw a tempting jasmine scent wafting from its slightly opened seams.

Being a glutton, he couldn’t resist.

Since the Celestial Jade Cake couldn’t be sent in anyway, he might as well take care of it himself, and when Seventh Aunt asked, he’d just say it was delivered, a harmless lie. Glancing around to ensure no one was there, he opened the box and began eating eagerly.

In no time.

The box of Celestial Jade Cake was devoured clean:

”Hmm, why do I feel sleepy?”

As he spoke.

Yali felt dizzy, and with a thud, he collapsed heavily to the ground.

Chunyu Yue, who had been hiding in a corner of the dungeon for some time, flashed out, quickly removing the Array Plate for dungeon access from Yali, hitting it with a Technique, causing the dungeon Array’s light curtain to ripple, revealing an opening.

At that moment.

The entire Clan Mountain shook with a rumble.

Chunyu Yue looked up.

Seeing the Five Tier Two Demon Beasts of the Five Beasts Seven Stars Array manifested:

”This is.....an enemy attack!”

Chunyu Yue’s heart pounded rapidly, realizing it was a perfect opportunity to escape, she quickly darted into the dungeon, traversing a long tunnel as waves of heat rushed at her.

At the end.

A house of Earth Fire came into view.

Sitting cross-legged inside, Shi Shutong suddenly opened his eyes.
