Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 843: Chapter 321: Advancement and Request for Reinforcements (Part 2)

A stream of spiritual power was injected into it.

Boom!

The yellow flowing light trembled lightly.

However, it didn’t show any sign of breaking.

Fu Changsheng showed a hint of delight on his face:

”Not bad, after the tier upgrade, it indeed can resist attacks from the late-stage Purple Mansion.”

If a Fourth-Transformation Cyan Lotus can be found, it might even directly enhance to an artifact, but a Fourth-Transformation Cyan Lotus is hard to come by.

Fu Changsheng’s gaze turned towards the direction of the Celestial Woe Tribe.

Based on intelligence indications.

The Celestial Woe Tribe is hiding resources for repairing the Celestial Dragon Warship Spirit Cannon.

According to the timing.

The attack of the Celestial Woe Tribe should also be reaching its final stage.

...

Celestial Woe Tribe.

Rumble!

Two beams of light of different colors struck the light shield of the mountain gate, causing it to tremble slightly, but it quickly restored itself.

Suspended in mid-air above the mountain gate, Shangguan Li and Master Yunyang’s expressions were somewhat unpleasant.

Master Yunyang said in a booming voice:

”Fellow Daoist Shangguan, with just the two of us and your spirit pet, it will take no less than a year and a half to break this turtle shell. If the Celestial Woe Tribe invites external allies, we would be passively beaten.”

Master Yunyang, although just doing this for the money, has done his best; wagering his life would be ten thousand times impossible.

Shangguan Li withdrew his technique.

The Kunlun Jade Plate, his lifebound spiritual artifact, instantly entered his body. After his face underwent a succession of changes, he said:

”Let’s go, we’ll return for now.”

The two flickered and instantly returned to the Treasure Ship.

The Shangguan Family, Shi Family, Cui Family, and Nangong Family gathered again. Shangguan Li gritted his teeth and said:

”I believe everyone here has heard, the neighboring Yinan Tribe has already been taken by the Fu Family, what are your opinions on this?”

The Clan Leaders of the Shi Family, Cui Family, and Nangong Family exchanged glances.

After hesitating for a moment.

They spoke:

”Elder Shangguan, are you suggesting we invite Patriarch Fu to provide support?”

The Fu Family, with only Fu Changsheng, managed to take the Yinan Tribe; if Fu Changsheng participates, this turtle shell of Celestial Woe Tribe should definitely be taken.

The idea seems to be a good one.

However, the Nangong Clan Leader voiced his concern:

”Elder Shangguan, to invite Elder Fu, I’m afraid...the reward wouldn’t be small.”

They had already bled financially just to hire Master Yunyang; if they were to invite Fu Changsheng, their clan would incur substantial losses.

Shangguan Li snorted coldly and said:

”As long as we take down the Celestial Woe Tribe, you’re worried about not being able to pay this reward?”

Continuing.

Shangguan Li looked towards the Shi Clan Leader:

”Your Shi Family is connected by marriage to the Fu Family, this task should be undertaken by you, Shi Clan Leader.”

If we delay further.

Once the Celestial Woe Tribe brings in reinforcements, we’ll end up surrounded.

The Shi Clan Leader, understanding the gravity of the situation, nodded repeatedly:

”Alright, I’ll head there right away, but how will we handle the matter of payment?”

Everyone exchanged glances.

Seeing no one spoke, Master Yunyang finally voiced his opinion:

”Fu Changsheng is like me in the early stages of Purple Mansion. You gave me how much reward, just give him the same, what’s there to worry about.”

If that’s the case.

Then it’s manageable.

But Fu Changsheng single-handedly took the Yinan Tribe, which is beyond what Master Yunyang can compare.

Shangguan Li quickly conveyed to the Shi Clan Leader via sound transmission, the Shi Clan Leader trembled with disbelief:

”Elder Shangguan, are you...certain about proposing this condition?”

”Yes, quickly go.”

Shangguan Li waved his hand and flickered, disappearing from his place, returning to his secret chamber; the battle is imminent, he must quickly recover his mana. Seeing this, Master Yunyang also left the meeting hall.

In the hall, only the Nangong Clan Leader and the other three remained.

The Nangong Clan Leader hurriedly grabbed the departing Shi Clan Leader:

”Brother Shi, what did Elder Shangguan tell you just now?”

The Cui Clan Leader nearby also showed concern.

The Shi Clan Leader sighed and said:

”Elder Shangguan instructed that if Elder Fu agrees to act, Fu gets half of what is gained from Celestial Woe Tribe.”

Half?!

The Nangong Clan Leader’s pupils narrowed; if so, how do the remaining half get distributed among their four families? The Shangguan Family would surely take the major share, leaving hardly anything for the other three families.

The Cui Clan Leader also took a sharp breath.

But he was open-minded about it, saying:

”As long as we can safely complete the mission while preserving our lives, it’s already good enough; let’s not expect too much besides this.”

With these words.

The initially resentful Nangong Clan Leader burst into laughter:

”Younger Brother Cui, you really are the one who awakened the dreamer with one word; you’re right, you’re right. Preserving life is already a blessing, and if we can achieve merit based on that, it would be the icing on the cake. Brother Shi, quickly, quickly, we await your good news.”

The Shi Clan Leader thought the same.

He didn’t stop throughout the journey.

Rushing swiftly towards the Yinan Tribe, upon reaching the mountain gate, he saw the Fu Family’s War Hall personnel patrolling in an orderly manner, the originally dormant Mountain Protection Array had already risen again, prompting the Shi Clan Leader to feel a sense of admiration:

”I wonder if the Grand Elder can successfully make a breakthrough to Purple Mansion.”

If the clan produces a Purple Mansion.

Then the family’s status would be vastly different.

Like this expedition.

The four families, although all are eighth-grade, it’s almost entirely Shangguan Li calling the shots.

Once arrived at the mountain gate, the Shi Clan Leader bowed towards Fu Yongqi:

”I kindly ask Young Friend Fu to convey my urgent request to meet your Patriarch.”

”Shi Clan Leader, please hold on.”

The Mountain Protection Array didn’t open.

Fu Yongqi quickly took out the Communication Jade Talisman and spoke a few words, after a while, Fu Changsheng came flying with the wind. He didn’t invite the Shi Clan Leader inside, but opened the array and came out himself, then the Mountain Protection Array closed instantly.

The Shi Clan Leader quickly bowed:
