Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1585: Chapter 979: In the Spotlight

“Where are they?”

Yang Zhenshan stared greedily at the Bodhi Tree in the mirror.

He could forgo other Jie Dan Spirit Objects, but he was determined to seize the Nine-striped Bodhi Seed.

Not only because the Nine-striped Bodhi Seed is a Jie Dan Spirit Object, but because it can enhance his Withered and Flourishing Divine Power.

If he could acquire several Nine-striped Bodhi Seeds, his Withered and Flourishing Divine Power would surely advance significantly, and if he could truly master it, his strength would reach an incredibly terrifying level.

By then, he might be able to challenge Golden Core Cultivators with Foundation Establishment cultivation.

This is no joke; the most terrifying aspect of the Withered and Flourishing Divine Power is its ability to strip away the enemy’s lifespan. Whether Foundation Establishment or Golden Core Cultivators, lifespan is limited.

As long as the enemy’s lifespan is limited, he has the opportunity to wear them down.

Yun Ge did not immediately agree but said, “Let’s talk about the method of cooperation first!”

Yang Zhenshan’s expression shifted slightly, “Simple, you take the Nine Tripod Divine Pill, we take the Nine-striped Bodhi Seed, and after taking them, we retreat together, advancing and retreating together.”

The key at this moment is not whether they can seize the treasures, but whether they can leave safely afterward.

If they can’t leave safely, everything is in vain.

Yun Ge pondered for a while, then exchanged glances with Yun Bi, Yun Fan, and others before saying, “Agreed!”

“The items are in the courtyard below, to the southeast of the central hall.”

Yun Ge said, while Yun Bi also controlled the mirror image to display the courtyard.

The courtyard is large, likely the residence of a Golden Core Cultivator. In a fleeting glance, Yang Zhenshan also saw many rare Third-order Spirit Plants, but the most valuable is certainly the Nine-striped Bodhi Tree.

“This courtyard is protected by an Array, cracking it is quite difficult, and we have not yet found an opportunity to approach and break the Array!” Yun Ge added.

Yang Zhenshan understood; no wonder they’ve been here all along, it was due to the impediment of the Array.

He shifted his gaze towards the courtyard below.

Though distant, he could still see the courtyard.

Amid collapsed palaces and pavilions, the courtyard was inconspicuous, not to mention the Array protection; it’s not just that courtyard shielded by an Array; other areas also have Array protection.

Among the rubble and ruins, many figures were still attempting to crack the Arrays, though their progress was slow due to frequent outbreaks of battles amongst them.

Some seek to break the Arrays and gain treasures within, others seize opportunities for profit regardless of the Arrays, grabbing first, talking later.

Some already possess good items and are currently under siege.

Immortal Cultivators, Ghost Cultivators, Demon Cultivators are chaotically mixed in this palace site.

But within a radius of more than twenty miles, a grand drama unfolds.

“Waiting won’t yield an opportunity; if we want a share of the pie, we must act quickly!” Yang Zhenshan said.

Continuing to wait is meaningless because as long as there are valuable resources here, the surrounding chaos won’t cease.

It’s possible that the situation will grow increasingly chaotic as time goes on.

“Yang is right!” Yun Ge also didn’t want to wait any longer.

“Since that’s the case, let’s prepare and take action!”

Their two parties quickly reached a mutual agreement.

Both sides actually harbored their own thoughts.

The most precious treasure here is undoubtedly the Nine Tripod Divine Pill; Yun Ge knows once he gets it, he will surely face a siege, so they need someone to help them confront the inevitable attack.

Simply put, he’s aiming for Yang Zhenshan’s group to act as cannon fodder for them.

And Yang Zhenshan didn’t choose the Nine Tripod Divine Pill, wanting Yun Ge to help absorb the aggression, allowing them to calmly retrieve the Nine-striped Bodhi Seed.

As for advancing and retreating together, if conditions permit, Yang Zhenshan indeed wishes to move forward and withdraw with Yun Ge’s group. But if conditions don’t allow, then Yang Zhenshan won’t be blamed for breaking his promise.

The agreement is merely verbal; no contract was signed, nor was an oath taken.

…

Moments later, the two parties first distanced themselves from the palace ruins, then flew close to the ground towards the ruins.

They continued to conceal their presence, but during such rapid flight, their aura still leaked out.

Fortunately, everyone has their own targets now, so no one paid extra attention to them.

Soon they arrived near the target courtyard, but as they did, seven or eight Demon Wolves were constantly attacking the Array of the courtyard.

“Roar!”

Before Yang Zhenshan and others could approach, a humanoid Demon Wolf issued an angry roar at them.

“This is my Howling Moon Wolf territory; you humans must not come near!”

The tall Demon Wolf radiated a violent aura, warning them.

“Demon Clan, looking for death!”

Yun Ge hated the Demon Clan intensely, whether it be the Earth-shaking Tiger clan or the Howling Moon Wolf clan, he hated them all.

Alright, the Howling Moon Wolves have no grudges with White Cloud Immortal City, but it doesn’t stop Yun Ge from casting hatred upon them.

“Cloud-piercing Palm!”

Before the person arrived, a massive palm descended from the sky, pressing down on the Demon Wolves.

The Demon Wolves roared angrily, baring fangs and claws, spewing icy breath, forming an ice-blue giant wolf that fiercely bit at the descending palm.

Seeing this, Yang Zhenshan knew the battle was unavoidable.

The reason this place is filled with chaos and battles is precisely because of this.

No words of negotiation, only action guided by strength.

“Seal Heaven and Earth!”

Soul Suppressing Lock and God-locking Chain extended quickly, weaving with countless vines, instantly binding a Demon Wolf tightly.
