Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 652: Chapter 279: The Human Emperor Banner’s Upheaval, Breakthrough, and the Fisherman’s Benefit (Part 3)

This time we enter the Yinluo Secret Realm.

The Situ Family and the Tian Family, both of which have Purple Mansion cultivators, each have seven slots.

Meanwhile, the Hu Family and the Cui Family, both led by the Tian Family, each have four.

However.

Now, only four cultivators from the Tian Family remain alive, with three from the Cui Family and three from the Hu Family. In contrast, the Situ Family entered with seven Foundation Establishment members, and now still has seven, clearly none have fallen.

Tian Yunqing nervously guarded his storage bag.

He gave a cold glare at Situ Dao:

”Fellow Daoist Situ, are you sure you want to start a war? We have three more Foundation Establishment battle powers than you. Moreover, my eldest brother, third brother, and fourth brother are on the way. When they arrive, do you think you can stand against us?”

”If you’re sensible, retreat obediently.”

”While the secret realm hasn’t closed yet, quickly pick a few spiritual flowers and herbs, that is the correct approach.”

While speaking.

Tian Yunqing gave a signal with his eyes.

The remaining three from the Tian Family, who were triplets, quickly surrounded him.

Situ Dao hesitated to act, wary of Tian Yunguang. However, he had been waiting for so long, and Tian Yunguang hadn’t shown up, not even for the crucial matter of picking the [Profound Yin Grass].

There were only two reasons.

Either the other party was trapped somewhere.

Or the other party was already dead.

With a thought, Situ Dao made a buzzing sound, and a Tier Three Middle-Grade Celestial Thunder Hammer floated above his head.

As the Celestial Thunder Hammer appeared.

The surrounding air crackled as if there was lightning flickering.

Tian Yunqing’s pupils contracted.

Tier Three Middle-Grade Spiritual Artifact!

Indeed, the Situ Family boasts a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion. However, the Clan Leader had given the Tier Three Spiritual Artifact and Spirit Talisman to the eldest brother, and now if Situ Dao really wants to fight, even if they have more people, it’s hard to withstand the power of the Spiritual Artifact.

However.

He naturally couldn’t show weakness.

Otherwise.

Not only the Situ Family.

It would likely lead to a fall out with the Tian Family, Cui Family, and even Hu Family, who are led by them.

He just needed to hold out until the eldest brother arrives.

Tian Yunqing feigned disdain and said:

”Situ Dao, do you think only your family has Tier Three Spiritual Artifacts? Hmph, don’t forget, our Patriarch is an experienced Purple Mansion cultivator, with more Spiritual Artifacts and Spirit Talismans than you. Besides, our Brother Cui and Brother Hu also hold Spiritual Artifacts, so if you’re not afraid of death, then feel free to start the war.”

While speaking.

Hu Tianlang beside him, with a thought, made a buzzing sound, and a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact Celestial Heart Mirror appeared in his hand.

Cui Yuyi, next to him, also refused to show weakness and summoned a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact Qiankun Lock.

Only the Tian Family didn’t take out any Spiritual Artifact.

At this point.

Situ Dao had figured out the Tian Family’s situation, and quickly transmitted a sound to Hu Tianlang and Cui Yuyi:

”Fellow Daoists, it’s evident that Tian Yunguang, the eldest of the Tian Family, along with the third and fourth brothers encountered some mishap. The remaining ones are paper tigers. Our three families have Spiritual Artifacts. Let’s make a move and annihilate the Tian Family members directly, and then split the [Profound Yin Grass] among ourselves. How about it?!”

”This time, as long as your two families hold the [Profound Yin Grass], in the future, if a Purple Mansion cultivator emerges, wouldn’t you stand on equal footing with the Tian Family? Why continue to bow to them? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

Hu Tianlang was clearly tempted.

After all, the Five Great Families signed a contract, stating that once inside the Yinluo Secret Realm, life and death are at one’s own risk, and Noble Families can’t settle accounts after the event.

This has been a longstanding rule for nearly a thousand years.

Hu Tianlang quickly transmitted to Cui Yuyi:

”Brother Cui, what do you think?”

Cui Yuyi, being a seasoned old fox.

With a quick glance.

Quickly transmitted back to Hu Tianlang:

”Watch the tigers fight from the mountain.”

Saying so.

Cui Yuyi stood aside with the Qiankun Lock, distancing himself from Situ Dao and the Tian Family. Cui Tianlang followed suit, and in a blink, only the ruined tomb was left with Situ Dao and the Tian Family facing off.

”You all.....”

Tian Yunqing was stunned for a moment.

Never expected the Hu Family and Cui Family, who always followed the Tian Family’s lead, to suddenly turn coat:

”Brother Hu, Brother Cui, I advise you to reconsider. If you really trust Situ Dao’s deceitful words, when they settle our Tian Family, do you think your two families can contend with the Situ Family?! Don’t forget, there’s still the Xu Family’s backup that hasn’t appeared.”

”Noisy!”

Situ Dao seized the rare opportunity.

There was no longer any need to argue with the Tian Family.

He immediately pointed at the Celestial Thunder Hammer above his head.

Buzz!

The Celestial Thunder Hammer surged with thunderlight, whistling swiftly, directly slashing towards Tian Yunqing in the air, the roaring sound waves seemingly tearing space open, the power of a Tier Three Middle-Grade Magical Artifact, not something a Tier Two Artifact could compare to.

Clang!

The Celestial Thunder Hammer crashed down.

At the critical moment.

The Tier Three Cyan Wood Protective Talisman on Tian Yunqing was activated.

Crackling!

The Celestial Thunder Hammer landed on the cyan light shield, which trembled violently, but did not shatter.

The triplets from the Tian Family beside him reacted, each summoning their artifacts to collectively resist the Celestial Thunder Hammer, saying in unison: ”Fifth Brother, go find the eldest brother and them with the [Profound Yin Grass], hurry!”

The triplets took profound steps underfoot.

Their Celestial Profound Halberds summoned together in the air, making a buzz, and the breath of the three merged with their artifacts, erupting with a powerful pressure, nearly achieving the Half-Step Purple Mansion.

The triplets managed to withstand a strike from the Celestial Thunder Hammer with effort.

Seeing this.

Tian Yunqing’s form turned into a wisp of green smoke, swiftly escaping towards the Yinluo Ghost Outer City.

”Want to run, dream on!”

Situ Dao immediately pursued, while the triplets from the Tian Family tried to intervene, but were surrounded by the remaining six cultivators from the Situ Family.

The Hu Family and Cui Family cultivators, who originally stood aside hoping to reap the benefit of the fisherman’s net, saw Tian Yunqing running off with the [Profound Yin Grass] and immediately chased after him.
