Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1810: Chapter 1096: Lone Star Over Han

”The visitors are not friendly, prepare for battle!” Yun Xiao lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice.

The newcomers included a Golden Core cultivator, and moreover, a cultivator at the Golden Core Middle Stage. Yun Xiao did not recognize this person, but the reason he said the visitors were not friendly was because they not only had a Golden Core cultivator but also more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators, and it was obvious that they were coming for them.

If the visitors came with goodwill, they would not have brought so many people. Since they came with so many people, it’s highly likely they came with ill intentions.

Kou Ta’s expression shifted, then he waved his hand backward, and soon a lot of people poured out from the cabin.

Actually, there weren’t that many people, only less than two hundred.

Although they were transporting a lot of goods on this trip, they weren’t transporting flying boats, so they naturally didn’t need many people.

At this moment on the flying boat, besides Yun Xiao and Kou Ta, the rest were some Golden Body Realm martial artists and late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators. Yun Xiao and Kou Ta were in charge of escorting the goods, while the others were just there to do miscellaneous tasks and gain some experience.

Seeing the aggressive approach of the other party, Yun Xiao clasped his sword and flew out of the cloud boat.

”Who are you?”

He shouted loudly.

More than a dozen streaks of light stopped in front of him. Leading them was an elderly man with white hair, wearing a gray robe, sporting a long beard, and with a kindly smiling face, he didn’t seem like a bad person; rather, he gave off a benevolent impression.

”Yuan Chen of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, greetings, Fellow Daoist!” The elder said amiably.

Yun Xiao squinted his eyes, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!

Could it really be someone from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?

Why is someone from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion blocking their way?

He was puzzled in his heart, but on his face, he wore a respectful expression, ”So it’s Senior Yuan Chen from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Yun Xiao greets Senior Yuan Chen!”

Yuan Chen looked at Yun Xiao, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

He seemed to have heard this name somewhere before but had forgotten it.

Since he had forgotten, it meant the person before him was not an important figure.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chen nodded slightly, ”Old man is in pursuit of an evil cultivator, I hope Fellow Daoist Yun Xiao can cooperate!”

”Cooperate? I do not know how Senior expects me to cooperate?” Yun Xiao was somewhat baffled.

Yuan Chen glanced at the flying boat above and said, ”We want to search the cloud boat above!”

”Impossible!” Yun Xiao refused without even thinking.

The Vermilion Bird Cloud Boat above is carrying a large amount of resources, including various herbs, as well as a large amount of minerals and spirit stones. Although the grade of these items is only first-order and second-order, the quantity is enormous, with over 4,000 storage bags filled.

Over 4,000 storage bags containing goods worth tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones, involving a long-term resource consumption for the Spirit Source Land in the future.

How could Yun Xiao let outsiders search the cloud boat at will?

”Does Fellow Daoist Yun Xiao intend to shelter an evil cultivator?” Yuan Chen’s amiable smile instantly turned cold.

”I don’t know of any evil cultivator!” Yun Xiao said.

He had no idea about any evil cultivator, never seen one or even heard of one.

Besides, if we’re talking about evil cultivators, in this world, who could be more evil than the Unpredictable Ghost Sect?

The so-called evil cultivator is only defined by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion; maybe they’ve offended the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, or maybe they’re seen as a threat to them.

”Haha, since that’s the case, don’t blame the old man for being impolite!” Yuan Chen no longer wished to waste words with Yun Xiao.

Just an unknown figure, he didn’t take Yun Xiao seriously at all.

Previously being polite was already considered giving Yun Xiao, this Golden Core cultivator, some face. Since Yun Xiao didn’t reciprocate, he shouldn’t blame him for turning impolite.

In his eyes, Yun Xiao was ignorant of the current situation.

For the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to request so politely, and Yun Xiao dared not to agree, it was simply asking for trouble.

As Yuan Chen’s words fell, more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators behind him immediately flew to the sky, surrounding the Vermilion Bird Cloud Boat.

At the same time, the array on the Vermilion Bird Cloud Boat was also activated, with scarlet flames enveloping the cloud boat, and intense flames burning fiercely in the Vermilion Bird Bead on the bow.

Yun Xiao hesitated, uncertain whether to allow the other party to board the ship for a search.

If it was merely a search, it wouldn’t be much of a problem; at worst, they would lose some goods.

But what if their intent was more than just a search?

Yun Xiao’s gaze was sharp as he looked at the other party, and he took out a communication talisman, crushing it instantly.

Normal communication talismans can only transmit messages over a thousand miles, but the Spirit Source Land has a special kind of communication talisman, which is the one created by Lin Qihe, allowing messages to be sent without distance limitations, directly to Lin Qihe.

The advantage of this kind of communication talisman is that it has no distance restrictions; as long as it’s within the real world, messages can be sent to Lin Qihe regardless of location.

However, this kind of communication talisman also has a disadvantage: it can only send messages to Lin Qihe, not to anyone else, and even Lin Qihe cannot use it to send messages to others.

When Yun Xiao crushed the communication talisman, it transformed into a beam of spiritual light and vanished, disappearing into thin air.

Seeing this, Yuan Chen’s face darkened slightly.

Although he didn’t know what Yun Xiao had used, he could sense a trail of qi traversing rapidly through the void. With just a moment of inattention, that trail had already fled a thousand miles away.

”You won’t drink the wine of respect, but you want to drink the wine of punishment!”

Yuan Chen clapped his hands abruptly, and in an instant, the sky darkened, a gigantic vortex faintly appearing in the air, with seven burning meteors emerging within.

”The Big Dipper, Tianshu as the guide! Starfall like rain, Tianquan determines fate!”

Upon seeing this, Yun Xiao’s face changed dramatically.

This is the Star Meteor Skill, and moreover, the Seven Stars in a Row.
