Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 496: Chapter 240: Nine Yang Seven Orifice Sacrificial Refining Array, the Terrifying Heavenly Phenomena, Hearts Stirring [3]

A rebellion was immediately launched.

Clan Leader Lin was already gravely injured and was no match for the four members of the Cao Family. His meridians were sealed, and he was imprisoned, along with the core disciples of the Lin Family.

Subsequently,

The four members of the Cao Family brought out the clan members originally hidden underground at the Cao Family’s location. The entire Lin Family was now entirely under the control of the Cao Family.

Clan Leader Lin, trapped in the dungeon,

Heard the sounds of revelry and laughter from above every day, and he was filled with regret. The Cao Family was different from the Shangguan Family. Although the Shangguan Family previously had empty control over the Lin Family, they shared the annual yield and almost did not interfere with the internal miscellaneous affairs of the Lin Family.

But now, the Cao Family,

Was like bandits entering the village.

It was like inviting wolves into the house.

If he had known it would come to this,

He would have listened to the Shangguan Family and voluntarily resigned from the Court, downgraded, moved to the Demon-Defying City of the Fu Family, and become their subordinate power. With this family business as a gesture of allegiance, the Fu Family would surely have protected them through this Beast Tide.

Now,

The Beast Tide had not yet dissipated,

And they had already fallen into the hands of the Cao Family.

...

The four members of the Cao Family looked at the celestial phenomena coming from the Fu Family in Yunshan County, and Cao Xueyang was the first to speak up:

”Father, judging by the celestial phenomena, it’s likely that an Exotic Treasure has appeared.”

The former Second Elder Cao had now been promoted to Cao Clan Leader. Although tempted, he still shook his head and said:

”We just took the Lin Family. If we leave recklessly now, if the Lin Family has any hidden countermeasures, it’ll be like drawing water with a bamboo sieve.”

With this Spirit Vein from the Lin Family,

The Cao Family’s Ninth-Grade Noble Family title can be preserved.

Compared to the unstable days before, having a Spirit Vein and the protection of the Mountain Protection Array now, he was already content.

Cao Xueyang frowned upon hearing this:

”Father, this Beast Tide is coming fiercely. Our Clan Mountain was broken by the Tai Chi Locust Tide before. In these chaotic times, the most important thing is your own combat strength. Looking at the celestial phenomena of the Fu Family, this Exotic Treasure is surely extraordinary. If we get our hands on it, not to mention the Spirit Vein of the Lin Family, even the Demon-Defying City of the Fu Family could be ours.”

At the side, the elder Cao the Third was also a bit moved:

”Second Brother, Exotic Treasures are always for those destined to have them. If we don’t strive for it now, we’ll probably regret it forever.”

The other newcomer in Foundation Establishment, Cao Xuerui, gritted his teeth and still advised softly:

”Third Uncle, Fourth Brother, not long ago, dozens of Tier Two Red-tailed Wolves led hundreds of small monsters to attack the Fu Family’s fief in Pingshan County. Among them, two Red-tailed Wolves were at Tier Two Peak. But according to the information I received, the Red-tailed Wolf Pack was completely wiped out. Even those two Wolf Kings didn’t survive.”

”Observers from afar said,

”At that time, Patriarch Fu should have unleashed a powerful Spirit Technique.”

Spirit Techniques,

Are generally mastered only by Great Cultivators of the Purple Mansion.

Cao Xuerui’s words were clear.

With the current strength of the Cao Family, they were no match for Fu Changsheng. Even if the Exotic Treasure appeared, it would never fall into the hands of the Cao Family.

If they went,

It might even create a bad impression with the Fu Family.

It was better to stay put.

After all, once the Beast Tide passes, a war with the Eastern Wilderness Tribe may break out, and as neighbors to the Fu Family, they could only seek to establish good relations.

The Cao Clan Leader looked at Cao Xuerui with appreciation:

”Sixth, even though you’re the youngest, your understanding surpasses the others. Dismissed. Attend to your own affairs.”

Cao Xueyang glanced coldly at Cao Xuerui.

Once he succeeded the Patriarch in the future, he would see how to deal with this sycophant.

After leaving the council chamber,

He saw the celestial phenomena of the Fu Family had not yet dissipated.

Cao Xueyang’s eyes rolled, and he sneered:

”If you all won’t go, then I’ll go myself.”

What if I pick up some leftovers?

.....

Gongsun Family.

After experiencing a siege by the Beast Tide, and almost having their mountain gate breached, the Gongsun Clan has been busy repairing the Array and consolidating fortifications.

At this moment,

Seeing the phenomena from the Fu Family,

The Gongsun Family also urgently convened the Elder Council.

Second Elder Gongsun Run spoke succinctly:

”The Fu Family and our Gongsun Family are mortal enemies. If an Exotic Treasure truly appears, under no circumstances should it fall into the hands of the Fu Family. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to eliminate the Fu Family in the future.”

Third Elder Gongsun Ming nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, the Gongsun Clan Leader nodded:

”In that case, I and Third Brother will go to the Fu Family, and Second Brother, you will hold down the fort.”

With that,

The Gongsun Clan Leader immediately turned and left.

Second Elder Gongsun Run was momentarily stunned, his eyes darkened.

During the Beast Tide siege, the Clan Leader was slow to activate the Mountain-Sealing Seal, causing the sixth brother to die. Now, seeing an opportunity, he is the first to rush forward. Truly a Clan Leader who puts the interests of the clan first.

However,

Gongsun Run dared not voice his anger.

Watching the two figures of the Gongsun Clan Leader and the other leave, his eyes were full of disappointment.

Unlike other Noble Families,

The Cui Family, Qii Family, and Hongg Family, known as the Iron Triangle, upon seeing the phenomena, immediately convened to discuss the matter.

Although Cui Clan Leader’s eyes held some greed, he retained his reasoning:

”Since the Exotic Treasure appeared in the Fu Family’s fief, given Fu Changsheng’s current strength, even if we go, it may not be worthwhile.”

Due to Elder Clan Leader Hongg’s ill health,

The new Clan Leader participated this time.

Upon hearing this, he shook his head:

”Brother Cui, you are mistaken. No matter how strong Fu Changsheng is, he is but one man. If our three families join forces, this Exotic Treasure might fall into our hands.

Judging by the celestial phenomena caused by this Exotic Treasure, having it would make the complete outbreak of the Beast Tide much more manageable. It would be a permanent solution.
