Chapter 116: Beast Attack on the Family

On this day...

Yu Xian, who had been supervising Yu Lan's martial arts training for several days, finally had some leisure time to train his ambitious concubine in the market.

In the main hall of the residence...

After a rustling sound...

Zhao Shiwen let down her long hair and lay on a soft couch, breathing heavily like a fish out of water.

Yu Xian half reclined on the couch, calmly taking a sip of wine, with red scratches slowly fading on his back.

There was no doubt that this was a battle of unequal strength.

Although the outcome was already decided, the battle scene was intense.

"Your cultivation is too weak," Yu Xian said, not feeling satisfied. He hadn't even exerted much effort before his opponent fell.

"Yu Lan has already broken through for some time now. Your aptitude is much better than hers, but you still haven't reached the late stage of Qi Refining," Zhao Shiwen said, recovering and pulling a thin blanket to cover her chest lazily.

"It's not that I'm weak, it's that you're too powerful," she said.

Yu Xian was taken aback, nodding in agreement. "You're right."

Despite Zhao Shiwen's lower cultivation level, she actually relied more on his strength and was easier to control. Perhaps this was intentional on her part, to put his mind at ease.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Xian suddenly asked, "I heard that you want to provide a Foundation Building spiritual object to someone to help them break through. Several elders came to ask if it was my intention."

Zhao Shiwen nodded and said, "Yes, and the person you know as well. It's Li Qianzhong, our former neighbor. He is very strong and has experience in breaking through before. I think it's worth letting him try, but I wanted to ask for your opinion."

Li Qianzhong, the stern-faced brother? Yu Xian didn't expect that Zhao Shiwen would appreciate him, and even more surprising was that she didn't choose someone from the Zhao family. He thought for a moment and said, "I've said it before, I only care about the dividends. If you can convince the other elders of the Zhao family, you can distribute the Foundation Building spiritual object as you wish."

"That's enough with your words," Zhao Shiwen said confidently, her eyes shining with self-assurance that rivaled anyone's. "Only the used Foundation Building spiritual objects count as such, otherwise they are just decorations. As long as there is one more Foundation Building cultivator in the market who supports us, the Zhao family will have to listen to us in the future."

Yu Xian remained noncommittal, about to say something when his expression suddenly changed.

He felt that his divine sense jade talisman had shattered!

"Something happened to Yu Lan?!" he exclaimed.

He had only given divine sense jade talismans to Yu Lan and Zhao Shiwen. Now that Zhao Shiwen was by his side, the only one who could send him a warning was Yu Lan.

Yu Xian's aura instantly exploded, causing Zhao Shiwen, who was serving him on the side, to turn pale and struggle to breathe.

"Yu Lan is staying within the Zhao family's territory, protected by a large formation. How could she need help?"

"Could it be that someone from the Zhao family attacked her?"

"No, that's not right. The Zhao family and I have been getting along well, and Yu Lan has the protection of the Ghost Tiger. Nothing should happen to her for a while."

"Damn it! What's going on?"

Thoughts raced through Yu Xian's mind, momentarily forgetting about Zhao Shiwen.

"Master!"

"Yes?"

A murderous intent flashed in Yu Xian's eyes, making Zhao Shiwen feel a hint of unfamiliarity. However, she still composed herself and raised a red talisman in her hand.

"I also received a distress signal from the clan. It should be something happening in the clan's territory."

Yu Xian finally reacted.

Yes, something happened to the Zhao family, so they came to find him. If they couldn't find him, they would send Yu Lan to find him.

"You have someone activate the large formation in the market. There's no room for any mistakes at this time. I'll go to the Zhao family's territory first."

After giving instructions, Yu Xian flew out of the attic, disappearing into the sky with a burst of speed.

Zhao Shiwen watched the disappearing figure in the sky for a while before sighing.

A moment later...

She was already dressed and walked out of the attic. A faint light enveloped the entire Zhao family's market.

...

Above the Zhao family's ravine.

A golden-crowned eagle with wings spanning over ten meters flapped its wings, and two giant wind blades swept across the sky, heading towards the ground.

The ground was covered with dense black jade bamboo, like a shield blocking the wind blades.

However, many bamboo stalks still broke.

After the bamboo broke, it turned into specks of light and dissipated, followed by new bamboo growing, protecting the space beneath.

It was the Zhao family's protective formation.

The Four-Colored Bamboo Formation - Ink Bamboo Formation, a defensive formation.

"Elder Shao Hong, Elder Guangfu, quickly drive away the Rampaging Apes. This old body can't hold on much longer!" the female elder said, her silver hair disheveled and sweat pouring down her face. She held a black jade bamboo joint in her hand, continuously pinching her fingers to barely keep up with the growth of the bamboo.

Normally, the three elders took turns maintaining the formation.

But now she was the only one supporting it, with limited spiritual power, and she couldn't hold on for much longer.

"We want to, too!"

The two male elders each performed their own techniques.

One is the Green Bamboo Formation, the other is the Fire Bamboo Formation.

In the bamboo forest where green bamboo and fire bamboo intertwine and grow, a silver-backed violent ape pounds its chest with both arms and roars to the sky.

The fireballs that shoot towards it explode in mid-air, turning into a brilliant burst of sparks.

The resilient green bamboo forest cannot withstand the mighty strength of the violent ape.

As it raises one arm, the muscles on it become knotted, and a huge ape arm shadow appears in the air.

Boom!

The violent ape throws a punch.

The large patch of bamboo forest in front of it is directly destroyed by the tremendous force.

The illusion of the bamboo forest becomes somewhat blurry.

Puff!

The wealthy elder who controls the Green Bamboo Formation spits out blood, and a crack appears on the bamboo joint in his palm.

At this moment, he dare not take a step back. He bites his tongue, stimulates the blood in his heart, and sprays it onto the bamboo joint.

The bamboo forest that had just collapsed immediately grows rapidly.

But the wealthy elder's face is noticeably paler, muttering to himself:

"I've always said not to take risks. We've already killed two second-stage demonic beasts. That should be enough. But we had to provoke this violent ape and let it in."

"Our recent victories have blinded us."

"Elder Shao Hong, now is not the time for internal strife. Who would have thought that this violent ape would still be able to hide its aura? I suspect it's the demonic beast that surrendered to our ancestors."

"How can we stop a late-stage second-stage demonic beast?"

"And there are the flying demonic beasts in the sky, as well as who knows how many demonic beasts outside. They have actually united."

Once the formation is broken, disaster will come to our Zhao family!"

"I apologize to the ancestors of the Zhao family!"

"We must hold on!"

Zhao Guangfu also bites his tongue, and the bamboo joint of the Fire Bamboo Formation in his hand immediately emits a bright light.

A towering pillar of burning bamboo that seems to reach the sky descends from above and suppresses the violent ape.

Roar!

The violent ape lifts its arms and actually withstands the fiery pillar.

Several Qi Refining late-stage members of the Zhao family who are in the formation seize the opportunity to assassinate with their spiritual weapons.

But the violent ape's fur grows wildly, wrapping the spiritual weapons in its fur, and then the fur moves, causing the spiritual weapons to burst open.

The members of the Zhao family who had their spiritual weapons connected to their minds all spit out blood and suffered injuries to their vitality.

But the spiritual weapon attacks are just the prelude.

Several second-stage talismans follow closely behind.

"Purple Thunder Talisman!"

"Flame Dragon Talisman!"

"Ice Seal Talisman!"

......

Only thunder, flames, and ice and snow were seen surrounding the violent ape, these were powerful attacks comparable to those of a Foundation Building cultivator, finally breaking through the ape's defense.

Roar!

The violent ape let out an angry roar, but it lost its strength and was pressed down three inches by the pillar of flames.

"Now is the time, push it out!"

The two elders activated their final powers, and the bamboo forest seemed to come alive, forming a giant dome that contracted and bounced, pushing the giant ape out of the formation.

Roar!

The violent ape that was pushed out of the formation punched the ink bamboo light shield, causing ripples to surge.

The female elder suffered another heavy blow.

Fortunately, without the interference of the violent ape inside, the other two elders came to support, connecting the formation into one.

With the assistance of many Zhao family disciples, they finally managed to hold their ground.

"Now what should we do?"

Inside the Zhao family ancestral hall, the three elders were supported by their clansmen to sit down. In front of them was a mirror, showing the two raging monsters outside.

The formation emitted a precarious sound, and each loud noise felt like a blow to their hearts.

There were also dozens of first-stage monsters outside the formation, watching eagerly.

"Has the guest official not received any news yet?"

The existence of a second-stage formation with a Foundation Building cultivator was two different concepts.

One disciple replied, "The guest official's wife said she has already notified the guest official, but when he can come, the guest official's wife couldn't say."

"When he doesn't want to see us, he..."

Zhao Guangfu paused, a smile appearing on his face, "I miss him very much."

"Guest official, you've returned."

Yu Xian slowly walked in from outside.

He had the formation key given by Zhao's ancestor, so he didn't have to worry about being blocked by the formation and came in early.

However, he didn't immediately take action.

On the surface, as someone with only early-stage Foundation Building cultivation, he couldn't possibly be a match for the late-stage violent ape.

He wasn't foolish enough to expose his true strength and fight desperately for a group of Zhao family members.

"Everyone, without further ado, the only plan we have now is for all of you to hand over the formation authority and let me control the protective clan formation. Only then will we have a chance to repel the attacks of the monsters."

Yu Xian never made a losing deal.

As a formation master, he had long coveted the Zhao family's Four-Color Ghost Bamboo Formation, but he had never found the right opportunity.

For him, this composite second-grade high-quality formation was like a sumptuous feast.

"This..."

The several elders exchanged glances, but in the end, they had to pay for their own mistakes.

"Alright."
