Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 469: Chapter 233: Seizing the First Merit, Spirit Crystal Marrow, an Unexpected Harvest

The mouth opened.

Rumble!

A massive dark green energy ball whistled out, heading straight for the Demon-Breaking Spirit Seal.

The energy ball collided with the Demon-Breaking Spirit Seal.

It erupted with a world-destroying energy wave.

The entire underground lair shook violently, and hanging eggs dropped, some even shattered by the energy wave.

After the energy wave subsided.

Cao Xiang’er’s spiritual power shield had shattered, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, yet her eyes remained resolute.

The insect mother’s body was also heavily injured, with several massive cracks appearing on its carapace, where dark green blood flowed out. Its strength had clearly weakened considerably, and its once ferocious compound eyes had dimmed somewhat.

The insect mother seemed to realize that continuing the fight was not in its favor, and it began to slowly retreat, letting out a low growl as if warning Cao Xiang’er not to pursue. Newly hatched Tier Two Insect Generals densely surrounded it.

Meanwhile, a strange howling sound issued from its mouth.

The sound penetrated the ground.

Cao Xiang’er immediately sensed that the battle on the surface had become more intense.

However.

Her mana was now insufficient to deal with this Tier Three Late Stage insect mother, and although unwilling, she could only retreat for now, better than everyone perishing here.

Just then.

Cao Xiang’er’s divine sense moved.

Fu Changsheng’s figure suddenly wavered into view.

Cao Xiang’er frowned at Fu Changsheng’s sudden appearance; in such a perilous place, even she as a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion was at a loss, and Fu Changsheng coming over now was undoubtedly suicidal.

She was about to reprimand him.

But Fu Changsheng’s voice transmission came to her ears.

After listening,

doubt flickered in Cao Xiang’er’s eyes, but she nodded slightly.

Watching Fu Changsheng approach the insect mother step by step, she noticed the Tier Two Insect Generals seemingly oblivious to his presence, utterly failing to detect his approach.

Hope glimmered in Cao Xiang’er’s eyes.

Upon entering the insect tide, perhaps due to consuming a Desolate Beast Pill, Fu Changsheng felt as if he had fused with the surrounding environment.

He meticulously concealed his aura, hiding all his killing intent.

Step by step, he approached the insect mother.

Each step was taken with utmost caution.

His heart pounded violently in his chest, as if it might burst through.

He knew that once discovered by the insect mother, he would be buried without a grave before the Tier Three Late Stage combat power.

The insect mother was resting in the nest, surrounded by countless Tai Chi Locusts, vigilant in guarding their queen, any movement would alert them.

Fu Changsheng drew closer to the insect mother, able to see its hard shell and eyes gleaming with cruelty.

He silently calculated the distance and time, as the effective duration of the Desolate Beast Pill rapidly waned.

Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, yet his eyes were resolutely focused.

”Ha!”

Just a few steps from the insect mother.

By now, the effective time of the Desolate Beast Pill was almost gone.

Fu Changsheng hesitated no more, instantly unleashing the Purple Qi Divine Light within him, transforming it into an arrow that shot toward the insect mother like a meteor, its speed and power causing the surrounding air to shriek sharply.

The insect mother, resting with full effort, failed to detect the surprise attack.

As it prepared to defend.

It was already too late.

Hum!

The arrow pierced through the insect mother’s softest abdomen, entering its body.

Fu Changsheng formed a seal decisively:

”Explode!”

Rumble!

The powerful Purple Qi Divine Light exploded instantly.

The insect mother didn’t even have time to scream, killed in one swift strike, its massive body crashing down, raising a cloud of dust.

Surrounding Insect Generals emitted peculiar cries.

Then they dissipated with a series of pops, vanishing into the world as streams of strange energy.

”Ha!”

Only now did Fu Changsheng dare to take deep breaths.

If anything had gone wrong just now, he would have been a dead man.

Fortunately.

The information about the insect mother’s critical weakness was accurate.

Otherwise.

He wouldn’t have dared to act rashly.

Cao Xiang’er wiped the blood from her lip, casting a complicated gaze at Fu Changsheng, then said:

”Fu Clan Leader, you’ve successfully resolved the Tai Chi Locust Disaster this time. After returning to the World Suppression Bureau, I will report to the court. Have you thought about what reward you want?”

The insect tide had come fiercely this time.

Fu Changsheng, being the first to establish merit, would definitely receive commendation from the court, as encouragement for other noble families to act during the upcoming Beast Nest outbreaks.

Such opportunities.

Without thinking, Fu Changsheng blurted out:

”Could I exchange for a method to break through to the Purple Mansion?”

”No.”

Cao Xiang’er shook her head without any hesitation.

Realizing her own bluntness,

she added a sentence:

”The secrets of the Purple Mansion are only accessible to Eighth-Grade Noble Families and above.”

Just as expected.

Fu Changsheng could only settle for the next best thing:

”Then could our Fu Family be exceptionally promoted to Eighth-Grade? Our Fu Family currently meets the Spirit Vein, Hundred Skills of Cultivation, and Foundation Establishment numbers. Additionally, we have a Ninth-Grade Noble Family within our fief, and our Court Merit Points have reached twelve thousand.”

Cao Xiang’er noticed Fu Changsheng’s ambitious request.

This was even more outrageous than seeking the secrets of the Purple Mansion, and she immediately shook her head:

”I will try to apply for the maximum court merit points for you.”

Having said this.

Cao Xiang’er waved her sleeve.

She stored the massive corpse of the insect mother into a storage bag, scanned the insect mother’s lair with her divine sense, hesitated for a moment, then ultimately left without lingering, leaving a single sentence as she departed:
