Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 466: Chapter 232: Might of the Purple Mansion, Tier Three Insect Mother, Fierce Battle (2)

Upon hearing this,

Nangong Clan Leader looked a bit troubled. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke:

”Master Xu, you see, under Shi Family’s rule, there are three combat aides, while our Nangong Family only has one. Could we transfer one from the Shi Family’s side? This way, each of the four positions of the array map would be guarded by three combatants, wouldn’t that be more secure?”

Master Xu replied blandly:

”No need to worry, the Spiritual Insect Tide Array already has the effect of spiritual power circulation and regulation,”

Finally,

Master Xu also designated which position each of the four Eighth-Grade Noble Families would guard.

Fu Changsheng, Lin Clan Leader, and Shangguan Feng were responsible for the north, which was the attack area of the Spiritual Insect Tide Array. It was clearly divided based on Shangguan Feng’s Half-Step Purple Mansion combat prowess.

The northern side was engraved with the Fire Spirit Amplification Array Pattern and the Spirit Barrier Array Pattern.

The latter was designed to confuse and block the locusts’ spiritual detection, making it difficult for them to accurately find the weak points of the array.

Lin Clan Leader, with his meager combat strength, was a bit anxious about being assigned to the attack area.

Seeing this, Shangguan Feng said:

”Lin Clan Leader, when the time comes, you only need to maintain the energy supply of the Fire Spirit Amplification Array Pattern and the Spirit Barrier Array Pattern.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Clan Leader immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone spent the night studying and rehearsing.

The next day.

Just as dawn broke.

Everyone boarded the World Suppression Bureau’s Treasure Ship and flew towards the Ten Thousand Mountains.

As they passed by Flying Dragon Marketplace.

The once lush greenery of the marketplace was now barren. After the insect tide outbreak, the Fu Family, Shangguan Family, and Shi Family, as the masters of the place, had already evacuated their clansmen.

Flying Dragon Marketplace was situated right at the exit of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The three families, busy with defending their clan mountains, naturally abandoned this market.

After flying over Flying Dragon Marketplace,

Fu Changsheng looked closely.

He still saw the distant Ten Thousand Mountains lush and green, with towering trees everywhere:

”The Tai Chi Locust Tide hasn’t entered the Ten Thousand Mountains?”

What on earth is going on?

It was said that,

the Ten Thousand Mountains provided more resources.

In a flash,

Fu Changsheng thought of a possibility:

”Could it be that the Western Land Ten Thousand Spirits Sect is truly behind controlling this insect tide?”

If that’s the case,

Then during the upcoming beast tide outbreak,

The pressure they would face would undoubtedly increase significantly.

The treasure ship finally stopped not far from the entrance of the Ten Thousand Mountains at Wangqiu Basin, where the soil was a peculiar dark red color.

Hovering in the air over the basin were nearly a hundred Tier Two Insect Generals.

The moment the treasure ship stopped,

Cao Xiang’er emerged from the cabin:

”Master Xu, I’ll handle these Tier Two Insect Generals. You lead the noble families to set up the Spiritual Insect Tide Array as quickly as possible.”

After speaking,

Cao Xiang’er floated in mid-air,

The Insect Generals hovering over the basin immediately reacted, buzzing furiously as they swarmed towards Cao Xiang’er from all directions.

Yet, there was not a hint of disturbance on Cao Xiang’er’s face.

She formed hand seals,

Mana was guided along specific meridian routes to the Laogong Acupoint in her palms, released outward in a spiral manner, instantly condensing countless Cyan Wood Spirit Blades in the surrounding space.

These spirit blades were emerald green, radiating dense wood attribute spiritual power, and shaped like willow leaves, with extremely sharp edges that even seemed capable of slicing through space.

With a low chant from her mouth,

Over a hundred Cyan Wood Wind Blades roared out, swiftly dashing toward the oncoming Tier Two Insect Generals. Wherever the wind blades passed, the Insect Generals were instantly beheaded, dropping to the ground like dumplings into boiling water.

Witnessing this scene, Fu Changsheng’s pupils contracted.

For ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, facing a single Tier Two Insect General was already challenging. The intensity of spiritual power and attack methods of Foundation Establishment cultivators were relatively limited, making it difficult to penetrate the defenses of the mutated Tier Two Insect Generals. Additionally, the Tier Two Insect Generals had fast attack speeds and varied attack styles.

But as soon as Cao Xiang’er made her move,

She easily slew nearly a hundred Tier Two Insect Generals.

She undoubtedly performed a spirit technique!

Spirit techniques are generally mastered only by Great Cultivators of the Purple Mansion, and they are exceedingly rare. A technique capable of causing such widespread destruction as Cao Xiang’er’s is even rarer.

A hint of fervor flashed in Fu Changsheng’s eyes.

He also possessed a spirit technique currently, named ”Smoke Mist Illusion,” but he wasn’t sure what kind of power it would wield once mastered.

After Cao Xiang’er finished slaying the Insect Generals hovering over the basin, she immediately dived underground and disappeared.

With an initial victory,

Fu Changsheng thought they might smoothly complete their task today.

Suddenly, a rapid and rhythmic buzzing sound reached his ears, initially a low rumble, like distant thunder. As the locust tide approached, the sound grew sharp and piercing, like countless needles piercing the eardrum simultaneously.

Turning around,

He saw the Tai Chi Locust Tide approaching like a massive black ominous cloud. The edges of the cloud were indistinct, as the locusts were so numerous they couldn’t be distinguished individually. It appeared as a vast, continuously surging darkness, like a giant living stain in the sky, spreading towards the land.

”This is bad!”

Clearly,

The Insect Mother had sent a signal,

calling the insect tide back to assist.

Fu Changsheng hastily accelerated his hand seals, and with five echoing rumbles, just as the insect tide arrived, there was a loud boom. Five light beams of different colors shot skyward, then transformed into a five-colored light shield that came down like an overturned bowl.

Buzz buzz buzz!

At this time,

The insect tide was already near.

Fu Changsheng glanced around.

He discovered that in their northern attack zone, there were unexpectedly over a hundred Tier Two Insect Generals residing there. Upon closer inspection, Tai Chi Runes were clearly engraved on the wings of these Tier Two Insect Generals.
