First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 251: Setting an Ambush

"Have you heard? The Liu and Wu families were attacked at their doorstep."

"Oh... is that so? Who dares to provoke these two major families?"

"It was a pair of wandering cultivators who arrived in Sishui City a few days ago! One is called Zhang Tieshan, and the other is called Meng Xian Gu... These two not only provoked the families, but also humiliated them."

"I was near the Liu family and saw Liu Dingjiang being beaten up by Fellow Daoist Zhang on the ground. If you come now, you might still be able to witness the sorry state of the Liu family!"

Messages were transmitted through sound-transmitting talismans.

The small family cultivators and wandering cultivators in Sishui City had long been resentful of the Liu and Wu families.

Such delightful news naturally spread quickly!

Shen Mo and Chen Mengze had just left the Liu family when they noticed streaks of light flying from all directions in the city.

Even Body Tempering stage cultivators who couldn't fly on their own used lightness and speed talismans to rush over.

They all wanted to catch a glimpse of these wandering cultivators' prowess.

And incidentally, to see the miserable state of the Liu family and Liu Dingjiang!

Among the Qi Gathering stage cultivators, Shen Mo recognized several "acquaintances" he had visited before.

He then forced a smile, pulling the flesh on his face to reveal an unattractive smile, and greeted them with a cupped fist.

These small family cultivators and wandering cultivators who had warmly received him now all avoided him.

They only dared to communicate through divine sense and pay their respects to Shen Mo.

Their words were enthusiastic and full of flattery!

After telling Chen Mengze about this, she immediately showed a disdainful expression.

"They are afraid of offending the Liu and Wu families, but they still want to befriend you. This plan is really well-executed!"

Shen Mo smiled faintly and didn't respond.

When the Chen family was annihilated, no one in Sishui City's small families and wandering cultivators dared to speak up for them.

Therefore, it was normal for Chen Mengze to hold a grudge against them!

But in Shen Mo's eyes, there was no need to blame them.

More than twenty years ago, during the chaos of the demonic calamity, who would dare to risk their lives and help the Chen family, who were accused of colluding with the demons?

They might have been seen as accomplices and been annihilated by the Liu and Wu families.

Even now, they still had to make a living in Sishui City.

Naturally, they didn't dare to openly befriend "Zhang Tieshan," who had offended the Liu and Wu families!

By providing various information about the Liu and Wu families before, they had already contributed to the downfall of these two major families to some extent.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

The two of them flew away on their flying swords, leaving Sishui City in a grand manner.

Seeing Zhang Tieshan and Meng Xian Gu leave, the familiar Qi Gathering stage cultivators began to communicate with each other through divine sense.

"They really are a pair of immortal lovers, a perfect match!"

"Come on... Zhang Fellow Daoist's appearance is nothing special. It's Meng Xian Gu who is beautiful even with a veil."

"Why do you care about their appearance? The key is that Zhang Fellow Daoist is powerful and is targeting the interests of the Liu and Wu families in Sishui City... Maybe the city's situation will really change."

"If he succeeds, it will be our good fortune too. After the Chen family was annihilated, the actions of the Liu and Wu families have become more and more excessive!"

When the Chen family was mentioned, all the Qi Gathering stage cultivators present couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

The Chen family's ancestor was also a wandering cultivator.

Compared to Liu Dingjiang and Wu Dayong, he treated the small family cultivators and wandering cultivators in the city much better!

"A few days ago, Zhang Fellow Daoist visited me... From his words, I could tell that he seemed to have the intention of establishing the Zhang family."

"No wonder he was particularly concerned about the Great Victory Mountain and the Purple Bamboo Valley when he asked me about the various forces nearby."

"Heh! I also revealed a lot to him about the secrets of the Liu and Wu families."

"I hope this Zhang Fellow Daoist, as well as Fellow Daoist Meng, can hold on for a while longer. With the heron and clam fighting, we might also benefit!"

...

Shen Mo and Chen Mengze, after leaving Sishui City, found themselves in a mountainous area twenty miles away.

The highest peak in this area is called Tianquan Mountain.

There is a spring in the mountain stream, and the spring water that gushes out is sweet and delicious. Many mortals would deliberately pick spring water from the mountain and sell it in Sishui City.

Originally, there were about ten scattered cultivators practicing near Tianquan Mountain.

But when Shen Mo and Chen Mengze set their sights on this place, most of these scattered cultivators were smart enough to move away.

Only two Qi-gathering stage cultivators remained, and when they learned that this couple of scattered cultivators had infiltrated the gates of the Liu and Wu families...

They also packed up all their belongings and hurriedly left the area!

The two of them chose to settle here instead of staying in Sishui City in order to facilitate their actions against the Liu and Wu families!

Of course, their methods would also be more convenient.

"Buzz!"

Under Shen Mo's control, the Eye of No Leakage flew up and disappeared into the clouds.

Shen Mo's vision also covered a radius of one hundred miles.

However, his focus was only on Dasheng Mountain, Zizhu Valley, and Sishui City.

Whether it was Dasheng Mountain or Zizhu Valley, they were both covered by formation restrictions, like a layer of mist that couldn't be seen through.

But as long as someone from these two immortal sects left and went to Sishui City...

They couldn't escape the surveillance of the Eye of No Leakage!

"I wonder if the Liu and Wu families will take the bait?" Chen Mengze took off her veil and furrowed her brows.

Shen Mo knew she was eager for revenge and comforted her, saying, "It doesn't matter! Even if things don't go according to plan this time, we have other means waiting for them. We just need to be patient."

Chen Mengze nodded slightly and turned to enter the temporary cave they had opened up.

They didn't plan to stay permanently on Tianquan Mountain, so the cave they opened up was very crude.

It could only provide shelter from the wind and rain, as well as isolate cultivators from prying eyes!

Shen Mo did not enter the cave, but found a large rock to sit on cross-legged.

Then, he opened the Destiny Panel.

[Destiny Points: 172]

Originally, he wanted to accumulate more Destiny Points, reaching two or three hundred points, and then promote his destiny in one fell swoop.

But now, he might have to confront a powerful Linghai stage cultivator.

Any increase in strength would be beneficial.

[Master of Destiny: Shen Mo]

[Body: Innate Martial Bone]

[Talent: Cultivation Genius]

[Fate: Prosperous Fortune]

[Appearance: Dignified]

[Intelligence: Quick-witted]

[Fate: ???]

[Lifespan: ???]

Looking at the one blue and four green basic destinies, Shen Mo fell into contemplation.

"Fate, appearance, and intelligence are indeed important, but for my cultivation, physique and aptitude have a more obvious impact."

"My cultivation aptitude has already reached the blue level, so I can put it aside for now and focus on improving my physique!"

With the growth of his knowledge and long-term exploration, Shen Mo already knew:

Apart from the root of life and lifespan, it is best for each basic destiny on the destiny chart to develop in a balanced manner!

A difference of one or two levels is not a big problem.

But if there is a difference of several levels, or if one aspect is too outstanding or too far behind, there will be unbearable consequences!

In the cultivation world, there are countless examples of this.

He knew of many examples, both from hearing others talk about it and witnessing it himself.
