Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 294: Chapter 175: Silver Armored Horned Python, First Victory, Entering the Ruins

Inside the tree cave lies a world of its own.

There, besides Shangguan Feng and his daughter, Shangguan Chen, were three Foundation Establishment cultivators whom Fu Changsheng had never met. When he looked over, they also looked back at him.

These three were Shangguan Ding, Shangguan Ting, and Shangguan Yun, all in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Shangguan Ding, the youngest, scanned Fu Changsheng and the others with his divine sense, furrowing his brows, and quickly sent a voice message to Shangguan Yun:

”Ninth Brother, the reinforcements invited by the Grand Elder have such low cultivation, haven’t they?”

Fu Changsheng was only at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and there was even a junior Qi Cultivator, who would likely be more of a burden than help in the coming endeavor.

Shangguan Yun also felt somewhat displeased.

However, knowing that Fu Changsheng was the savior of the Grand Elder and his daughter’s lives, it was likely that this was an attempt to provide some support to Fu Changsheng.

Only Shangguan Chen, upon seeing Fu Changsheng’s arrival, narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the informant the Grand Elder had mentioned earlier, suspecting it was probably Fu Changsheng.

The last time they met was during the attack on the Niuteng Tribe.

At that time, Fu Changsheng had provided the clue to the Spirit Stone Vein, so many privately believed that Fu Changsheng was riding on coattails. However, it was thanks to the valuable intelligence he provided over the years that his brother could take the position of Grand Elder.

Therefore.

Shangguan Chen was rather warm towards Fu Changsheng:

”Fellow Daoist Fu, it’s been many years, and I didn’t expect you to have already reached the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment. In a few more years, you may surpass this old man. Truly a promising youngster.”

Nineteen years ago, when they first met.

Fu Changsheng was only at Qi Cultivation Second Layer.

This was Shangguan Chen’s heartfelt admiration.

Fu Changsheng offered a few humble words.

Once everyone was present, Shangguan Feng waved his sleeve, and a detailed terrain map appeared mid-air:

”This is the terrain map of the ten-mile radius around Duolong Lake. Seventh Brother, Hongyu, as Array Masters, based on this mountain range topology, how might the Gongsun Family deploy their array?”

Shangguan Chen was already a Quasi-Tier Three Array Master.

He waved his sleeve, and an array plate for estimation appeared in front of him. After inputting several techniques and discussing briefly with Shangguan Hongyu, he pointed to the western side of the map:

”Reporting to the Grand Elder,”

”Based on just the topography of Duolong Lake, the Gongsun Family would likely set the Death Gate on the west side, with the Earth Fiend Position as the Life Gate in the south. However, the specifics need to be surveyed on site.”

Shangguan Feng nodded slightly.

He looked at the others and said:

”To enter the relics, we must first breach the Gongsun Family’s defense array. Does anyone have any good suggestions?”

The group looked at each other and shook their heads.

At present,

the only solution is to forcefully breach the array with the assistance of Array Masters; there’s no shortcut.

Shangguan Feng asked casually:

”If that’s the case.....”

”Uncle Feng, I have a suggestion.”

”Changsheng, please share it with us.”

”Yes, Uncle Feng.”

Fu Changsheng, who had remained silent, stepped forward.

Shangguan Ding and Shangguan Yun exchanged glances, a faint hint of mockery flashing in their eyes. They, as late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, had no suggestions. Did Fu Changsheng have a miraculous method for effortless success?

They looked on as if watching a joke.

Fu Changsheng slapped his storage bag, and with a flash of dawn light, a scroll appeared in the air. The scroll opened, revealing the topography of Duolong Lake, but this time within a fifty-mile radius.

Fu Changsheng directed a technique towards a canyon northwest of Duolong Lake, thirty miles away:

”Uncle Feng, within Qingyun Valley are thousands of pythons, including four Tier Two Late Stage Silver Armored Horned Pythons. If we use Demon Luring Grass to draw these pythons over, our subsequent attack on the array would be much easier.”

With these words.

Shangguan Feng’s eyes lit up, and he smiled, saying:

”Excellent, excellent, that’s indeed a good method.”

Beside him, Shangguan Chen and Shangguan Hongyu nodded appreciatively towards Fu Changsheng.

Initially thinking they would see a joke, Shangguan Ding and Shangguan Yun were stunned, their gazes meeting as the same thought crossed their minds.

The Grand Elder treated Fu Changsheng well over the years,

because it seemed he genuinely had some skills.

When they surveyed the surrounding terrain, reaching twenty miles was their limit, but Fu Changsheng could reach thirty miles. Such attention to detail and perseverance were not something others could easily have.

The two unconsciously put away their disdain.

The group discussed how to break the array, and afterward, under the cover of night, they directly set sail on the Treasure Ship, swiftly heading towards Duolong Lake.

Arriving ten miles outside the direction of Duolong Lake.

The Treasure Ship immediately stopped.

.....

Inside Duolong Lake.

With the final array flag falling from Gongsun Gong’s hand, the originally tumultuous sandstorm disappeared suddenly, and a transmission vortex clearly appeared in front of them, with abundant spiritual qi emanating from it.

Gongsun Gong, pleased, said:

”Grand Elder, the transmission channel is now completely stable.”

The Gongsun Family had planned for so many years.

Finally unveiled its true facade.

Grand Elder Gongsun was also very excited, turning to the others and saying:

”Mu’er, Chang’er, you will follow me into the relics. Eighth Brother, you stay outside with the other five and guard the entrance. Remember, do not let even a single fly enter.”

”Understood, Grand Elder,”

Gongsun Gong replied loudly.

To ensure fairness, those entering the relics could not carry their own storage bags but used empty storage bags provided by the family. Upon exiting, these storage bags would be submitted to the public and then distributed.

Grand Elder Gongsun pointed to the ground.

Transforming into a beam of light, he was the first to enter the transmission vortex, followed closely by Gongsun Mu and Gongsun Chang.
