Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 895: Chapter 334: New Features, Female Bodhisattva, Secrets (Ten-Thousand-Word Combined Chapter)_5

Not long ago.

The Crown Prince led a team out to Cyan Yang Mountain.

Rumor had it that Gu Insects from the Northern Border had appeared in the mountain.

If all went smoothly, the Crown Prince should already be on his way back by now.

While waiting for news.

The Third Elder Yun Junrui sent a Technique into the Soul Hall, and the Array in the Soul Hall instantly began running at full speed. At this moment, only he could enter and leave the Soul Hall.

Before the Crown Prince returned to the Clan Mountain.

He had to keep the Patriarch’s death tightly covered, not letting the slightest whisper leak out. The people in the Elder Hall weren’t all of one mind either. With the Patriarch’s seat hanging empty, one careless move could trigger internal chaos.

Only—

He waited for a long time.

But the Crown Prince still hadn’t sent back any message:

”What’s going on?!”

The Third Elder Yun Junrui clenched his teeth. Cyan Yang Mountain wasn’t far, so he planned to go there personally. The sooner the Crown Prince inherited the Patriarch’s position, the sooner stability would return to the Yun Family.

A Technique shot into the Soul Hall.

The Array opened.

The Third Elder Yun Junrui flickered out, then turned to close the Array. After confirming that nothing had gone wrong—

The Third Elder Yun Junrui used the Invisibility Technique to move to the back mountain. A Technique shot in, the Restriction on the back mountain unlocked. Entering through the Array, he took out the Elder Token. As the Token was activated, a beam of Spirit Light fell into a hidden stone chamber, and the stone chamber’s door rumbled open outward.

The Third Elder Yun Junrui’s figure flickered.

He entered the Secret Chamber.

Inside, he saw a small Teleportation Array. This Teleportation Array could only be activated by four people: the Patriarch, and those in charge of the Soul Hall, the Scripture Pavilion, and the Treasure Vault.

It existed precisely to respond to sudden incidents in the clan.

As a Technique was sent into the Teleportation Array, with a buzz, the Teleportation Array began to operate. A shaft of Spirit Light rose up, and then the Third Elder Yun Junrui’s figure vanished.

....

At the same time.

Liuu Meizhen, who was concealed near the Yun Family Mountain, felt her Divine Sense stir—it was her Shadow Gate Mask sending a message. After she finished reading it, obvious delight flashed in Liuu Meizhen’s eyes.

She turned to Cui Zhi and said:

”Pass the word down. Prepare for battle.”

With that.

She cast the Invisibility Technique; her body flickered several times, arriving at the Southwest Hidden Forest where Cao Xiang’er and the others were hiding. Fu Molan was right beside Cao Xiang’er, her face clearly full of anxiety and worry. After all, Fu Changsheng had suddenly vanished without a trace. Now, seeing Liuu Meizhen arrive, she hurried forward:

”Lady of the House, is there news from the Patriarch?”

Liuu Meizhen nodded slightly.

Then her gaze fell on Cao Xiang’er:

”Lord, my husband has already executed Elder Yun on the spot, and we have proof in hand that Elder Yun colluded with Joy Sect’s Master Yun. We can proceed according to plan.”

Not long ago, Cao Xiang’er had tried to contact Fu Changsheng, but unexpectedly couldn’t reach him. Yet Liuu Meizhen could, which meant the couple had some private means of secret communication unknown to others.

This thought flashed by.

Cao Xiang’er gave a small nod:

”Mm. In that case, I’ll have to trouble you, Madam Fu, to hold the southwest side gate later.”

”Rest assured, Lord Cao.”

Cao Xiang’er gave a few more instructions.

Then she led Fu Molan along a roundabout path to the main gate of the Yun Family. Only then did she withdraw the Invisibility Technique, unhurriedly riding her Spiritual Artifact to a stop in front of the Yun Family’s Seventh-Grade market street.

The Guards at the gate, seeing they were people from the World Suppression Bureau, hurried forward and bowed:

”We greet Lord Cao, Lord Fu. May we know what orders you two lords have, coming here?”

”I have a private matter and wish to see your Grand Elder.”

On hearing this, the Guard—

Let out a breath of relief.

If it was a private matter, that was easier to handle:

”This way, my lords. The Grand Elder should be in the Array Hall right now. I’ll send someone to inform him at once.”

He shot a look at the Guard beside him.

The Guard immediately turned and left.

He himself personally led the way up front. After all, the World Suppression Bureau oversaw all the Noble Families. Though the Yun Family was a Seventh-Grade Noble Family and the Bureau wouldn’t interfere too much, they still couldn’t be treated lightly.

When he led them into the Reception Hall—

Elsewhere, a gray-bearded elder had already hurried over from the Array Hall. From afar he cupped his hands toward Cao Xiang’er: ”I did not know Lord was coming—please forgive the poor welcome, forgive the poor welcome. My lord, this way please!”

He warmly guided them into the council hall.

Fu Molan remained guarding outside the hall.

After about half a cup of tea, a ripple of Array power flashed inside the council hall. Fu Molan only felt a faint breeze brush past in front of her, and Cao Xiang’er’s voice sounded in her ear:

”Guard the main gate. Don’t let anyone enter the hall.”

She heard the voice, but did not see the person.

Fu Molan knew Cao Xiang’er had already succeeded, and she was quite excited in her heart. At the same time, she silently prayed that nothing unexpected would happen next.

As time passed.

Buzz!

Suddenly.

The Yun Family Mountain began to tremble.

The stone Divine Statues standing to the left and right of the Array Hall at the mountain’s peak also abruptly reacted. A faint blue light flickered in their eyes, as if they had come alive.

Fu Molan suddenly turned around.

Delight showed in her eyes:

”The Lord has done it!!”

In the next instant.

Boom!

A dazzling beam of light shot up to the heavens from deep within the Array Hall, piercing straight into the sky. Within the beam of light, countless runes spun rapidly; some shone with golden radiance, some with silver brilliance, some flowed with green light. They wove together in mid-air into a vast net, covering the entire Spiritual Abyss Mountain.

This was the Yun Family’s Mountain Protection Array, passed down for nearly a thousand years—the Nine Heavens Divine Light Array.

As soon as the Nine Heavens Divine Light Array was activated, heaven and earth changed color.

The Yun Family members were all thrown into panic:

”Th-this... why did the Mountain Protection Array suddenly start running at full speed out of nowhere?!!”

Ever since the Yun Family settled down in Jingzhou.

Aside from five hundred years ago—

When the front lines were breached by Sects from the Land of the Far West and they slaughtered their way into Jingzhou, they had only fully activated the Mountain Protection Array that one time. But now the front lines hadn’t sent back any word of mutiny. How could the Mountain Protection Array suddenly be activated at full speed?!
