Chapter 142 Forward

"Is this not the only chance?"

Xu Yuanzhen muttered to himself. He looked up in surprise at the grandfather who had raised him since childhood, trying to see some deeper meaning on the other's face, but the Grand Elder just smiled at him.

"you……"

Despite his deep resentment, he suddenly didn't know what to say after hearing those words.

"Grandpa, you don't need to comfort me. I know the family's situation very well. Even Foundation Establishment spiritual items are very difficult to obtain."

I understand, I truly understand. I could understand using the Foundation Establishment Pill that Yuan Lang found back then to heal the clan leader, and I understand this time as well. I'm just feeling a bit uneasy.

Hearing his grandson's deep voice, the elder simply patted his shoulder gently.

"You still don't trust me, kid. Don't worry, I can get you a Foundation Establishment Pill, but I want you to wait a while, at least until we get through this beast tide."

Xu Yuanzhen suddenly raised his head and looked at his grandfather in surprise. He could hear the seriousness and earnestness in the grandfather's tone.

"Are you kidding me, old man?"

Xu Yuanzhen's eyes widened in shock. He knew that Foundation Establishment Pills were not some common, cheap commodity. Where did his grandfather get the confidence to obtain them?

"Why would I lie to you? You are my grandson, of course I would save the best things for you."

Just don't tell anyone that this Foundation Establishment Pill is of utmost importance, and it's also a Human Pill; if you take it, you might never achieve the Golden Core stage.

The more the elder reminded him, the more certain Xu Yuanzhen became. Hearing his grandfather's worry, he hurriedly spoke up.

"Grandpa, human pills will do. I've never dared to dream of golden pills."

The elder sighed, patted his head, his eyes filled with affection, and slowly spoke.

"Not bad, you haven't been aiming too high."

Seeing that Xu Yuanzhen looked much better, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he slapped Xu Yuanzhen hard on the back of the head.

"Ouch, Grandpa, why did you hit me?"

"Hitting you is too lenient. You're such a grown-up. Why take your anger out on your own family and make Lingyou and Linghua so worried?"

Seeing his grandfather's furious expression, Xu Yuanzhen had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong."

"That's more like it."

……

Just as Xu Yuanzhen raised his hands to surrender, a group of demonic beasts swiftly stormed in from the northernmost part of the Qingming Sect's territory.

The Qingming Sect disciples, who were already prepared, quickly established a defensive line and collided with the approaching demonic beasts.

"Quickly, kill as many of these demonic beasts as possible..."

A Foundation Establishment cultivator was desperately directing the Qingming Sect disciples to block the gap when he suddenly found himself surrounded by darkness. Looking up, he saw a giant foot rapidly descending.

"what……"

With a scream, the Foundation Establishment cultivator, along with the Qingming Sect's defenses, was crushed underfoot and died instantly. All the demonic beasts rushed in through the breach.

The surviving Qingming Sect cultivators fled quickly, but before they could run a few steps, they were caught up by the demonic beasts. After a few screams, they were instantly devoured into bones.

Only a few surviving Foundation Establishment cultivators escaped. They stood at a distance and looked at a monster in the beast tide that was a hundred feet tall, with a head like a towering mountain and a long nose like a whip.

That was the famous White Fang Demon King in the area. His most distinctive feature was his pair of long, white, jade-like teeth, and his strength was comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

"This White Fang Demon King has actually made a move so early. Quickly send the message back so that the elders in the sect can prepare for a response."

The White Fang Demon King looked at the Foundation Establishment cultivators fleeing in the distance with a human-like disdain in its eyes. The next moment, it flicked its long nose, and a muffled sound was heard, instantly tearing apart the air within a hundred miles.

Before the fleeing Foundation Establishment cultivators could even react, their bodies snapped into several plumes of blood mist that spread across the sky.

The White Fang Demon King snorted triumphantly, then strode forward on its four legs, trampling countless demon beasts to death along the way.

On Wuliang Mountain, Xu Yuanlang looked down at the cultivators who were gathering at the foot of the mountain like ants towards the Xu family. These people were all affiliated families of the Xu family.

"All families must register at the foot of Wuliang Mountain, and then their positions will be uniformly allocated."

Anyone who disobeys or tries to take advantage of the situation will be executed without mercy!

Xu Yuanzhen was controlling the situation at the foot of the mountain. His current strength was at the peak of Qi Refining, making him even stronger than many patriarchs of affiliated families, which was enough to stabilize the situation.

"Yuan Jing, this is the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Material, Dan Yang Spiritual Liquid. It can increase the probability of Foundation Establishment by 10%. However, it does not have the backup ability of the Foundation Establishment Pill. In other words, if you fail, you may be reduced to ashes."

At this point, the clan chief suddenly stopped, glanced at Xu Yuanjing, and looked at him with a hint of reluctance and worry in his eyes.

"If that's the case, do you still want to break through?"

"Chieftain, I don't want to miss this only opportunity."

Xu Yuanjing's expression became exceptionally resolute, and an aura of determination practically emanated from him.

"Um!"

The clan chief then handed the Danyang Spirit Liquid to him with satisfaction. The man cupped his hands in greeting and prepared to go into seclusion.

"Yuan Jing!"

Xu Yuanjing paused, turning back to look at his father with some surprise. The clan leader, his eyes filled with reluctance, slowly spoke.

"Let your father look at you one more time, just one more time."

Xu Yuanjing was immediately moved to tears. If this seclusion failed, it would mean a separation of life and death. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Father, if I fail, you must also..."

"Don't say that, Yuan Jing. You must succeed. No matter how painful the breakthrough process is, you must grit your teeth and endure it."

The clan chief quickly interrupted, and Xu Yuanjing nodded vigorously.

"Yes."

At this moment, the Grand Elder and Xu Yuanlang accompanied Dian Mengxiong and Dian Xinjun, watching the Dian family from afar.

"Our Dian family's terrain is indeed inferior to Wuliang Mountain, which is flat and has virtually no place to hide."

Dian Mengxiong sighed. Dian Xinjun, who was standing next to him, rarely agreed with this point. The other families were all on the mountain, but the Dian family was on the plain.

Normally, we could cultivate a few more acres of spiritual fields, but now it's extremely difficult to defend them.

"Old friend, if all else fails, why don't your Dian family pack up your spiritual treasures and move to Wuliang Mountain? Once this beast tide is over, our two families can join forces to reclaim your spiritual vein. What do you say?"

The elder's words were sincere. Dian Xinjun licked his lips, unable to resist showing his interest. Indeed, this was the best solution.

"There's no place like home. It's fine for the living, but our ancestors are buried in the Dian family's spiritual veins. What will happen to them if we leave? Let's think of something else."
