Chapter 151 Seeking Rescue

"Is the Dian family asking for help?"

On Mount Wuliang, the eldest elder, upon receiving the news, immediately went to find the clan leader, who was also greatly surprised.

"According to the message that came through, that old guy Dian Mengxiong was accidentally injured by a mid-stage second-tier demon beast. Although he managed to escape back into the spiritual vein, he was seriously injured."

They are currently hiding within the formation, barely clinging to life. Dian Xinjun alone cannot hold out for long. Whether or not to go and help them is a decision for the clan leader.

A hint of anxiety flashed across the elder's face; the clan leader knew very well the relationship between him and Dian Mengxiong.

"Elder, we are barely holding on right now. If we want to support the Dian family, we need to send at least two Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Moreover, considering that they were besieged by mid-stage second-tier demonic beasts, I had to take action to resolve the crisis facing the Dian family.

I know that you and Clan Chief Dian have had a friendship spanning hundreds of years. Our Xu family and the Dian family have also been on good terms for generations, but we really are…”

The clan chief's words were crystal clear, and the elder's expression shifted between light and shadow upon hearing them.

"good!"

After taking a few deep breaths, the elder clenched his teeth and made a fist with a look of resentment on his face.

"Elder, how about this? I have a mid-grade second-tier healing pill here. I'll go and give it to him. I think with this pill, Clan Chief Dian should be able to recover quickly."

Furthermore, if the situation becomes truly dire, I will send a message back to request support from the family.

After hesitating for a moment, the clan chief came up with a solution, and the Grand Elder breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Alright, go and come back quickly."

The clan leader made arrangements for the defense, and then quickly headed towards the Dian family's spiritual vein.

"Zifang, don't move!"

Xu Yuanmiao tightly covered her young son's mouth, his bright eyes filled with terror. The mother and son were hiding in the ruins, with the burning Dian family house in the distance.

"Huff huff..."

A giant white-muzzled wolf exhaled hot breath from its mouth and nose. It smelled the scent of humans in the ruins before it, so it opened its large mouth, licked its fangs, and slowly walked over.

Its steps were not fast, but each step felt like it was treading on their hearts, making them even more terrified.

"Roar..."

Just then, the screams of a second-tier demonic beast dying tragically echoed from the Dian family's spiritual vein. Then, the formation on the spiritual vein was activated again, but this time it became extremely dim, as if it lacked spiritual power.

Upon seeing this, the giant wolf quickly focused its attention on the spiritual vein and swiftly headed towards the formation.

"We're safe!"

Xu Yuanmiao held her infant son, her face filled with barely suppressed terror. Although Dian Zifang was young, he was still sensible enough to pat his mother's back and then asked in a low voice.

"Mother, where is my father?"

Xu Yuanmiao looked gloomy, but quickly offered words of comfort after a moment.

"Your father is in the market. I think he should be safe and nothing will happen to him."

……

After the clan chief left, the eldest elder on Wuliang Mountain looked worriedly in the direction he had gone.

"Elder, don't worry. The clan leader is a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if he encounters trouble, he can retreat safely."

Xu Yuanlang stepped forward and quickly offered words of comfort, while the Grand Elder lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

"I have known Dian Mengxiong and the eldest elder of the Jiang family for hundreds of years. Old Jiang is gone, and my only remaining old brother is Old Dian."

The elder sighed, his eyes filled with an indescribable gloom.

"You don't need to worry. The Dian family has been passed down for thousands of years and has encountered this kind of crisis countless times. This time, we will surely be able to turn misfortune into good fortune."

"Let's hope so!"

The clan chief sighed, and just then, all the spiritual energy in the sky above Wuliang Mountain suddenly began to rotate, and a huge vortex instantly formed.

"A vortex of spiritual energy?"

The elder was taken aback by what he saw, his eyes widening in surprise. The gloom of worry for his old friend was instantly dispelled by his overwhelming joy.

"Fourth Brother has reached the final stage of Foundation Establishment."

As someone who had been through it all, Xu Yuanlang immediately guessed that Xu Yuanjing, who was in seclusion, was facing his final test.

"Yuan Jing's spiritual energy vortex is condensed and does not dissipate, it is full of vitality and perfect. This kid seems to be in good condition."

"Elder, let's join forces to seal off Fourth Brother's breakthrough phenomenon."

The Grand Elder was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly understood Xu Yuanlang's meaning and nodded hurriedly:

"Alright, you're right. With the beast tide now in full swing, the eyes that were monitoring our Wuliang Mountain have probably already left. They would never have imagined that Yuan Jing would break through at this time."

If we hide Yuan Jing, he will surely be the deciding factor in our future battle against the Li family.

The elder acted immediately, taking out an illusion array from his storage bag and tossing it into the air. Several spiritual runes flashed by, and the vortex of spiritual energy slowly disappeared.

This doesn't mean Xu Yuanjing failed to break through; it just means they hid the vortex.

"Elder, another thing is that I'm worried that some clansmen saw the spiritual energy vortex just now. I'll have to trouble you to find a way to keep them from talking about it."

The Grand Elder nodded, saying that it wasn't difficult at all.

"I'll just give them some instructions. They're all family, so it's easy to talk to them."

"No, I'm worried that there might be a traitor among our people."

Xu Yuanlang scanned the mountainside with his keen eyes, and the Grand Elder's expression slowly darkened after hearing his words.

"Yuan Lang, everyone on Wuliang Mountain is from our own clan. Although some are good and some are bad, you should still refrain from using the word 'traitor' in the future."

The Grand Elder had feelings for everyone in the family, and he subconsciously didn't want to assume the worst about them.

"yes!"

Xu Yuanlang did not refute, but simply agreed in a low voice. While the two were talking, a pair of eyes were secretly hidden inside the door.

"Was that a vortex of spiritual energy just now?"

This person secretly pondered to himself, and looked up at the sky, where the vortex of spiritual energy had completely disappeared.

"Did Xu Yuanjing fail to break through? Or was he hidden away by a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Xu family?"

He had a secret doubt in his heart, but he quickly made up his mind.

"Who cares? Anyway, this information is very valuable. If we sell it, we'll definitely get a good price, and the Li family will be very happy."

With that thought in mind, he quietly closed the door, wrote down the intelligence, and put it in a small cylinder.

"Squeak!"

A grayish-brown, rat-like spirit beast crawled out from the corner. He quickly tied up the cylinder and fed it a pill. The spirit rat squeaked excitedly.

"Here, deliver this to that place for me again. You'll receive two Beast Taming Pills as a reward after it's done."

The clever mouse was overjoyed and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.
