I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 233: Master Hua Comes to the Rescue

Immediately after, these armor pieces collided with the formation.

Lin Qing closely observed, feeling somewhat surprised. These armor pieces were truly powerful, each one causing the formation to sink. The tips of the armor pieces were even flashing with a faint light, sharp to the extreme.

Even if it were him, facing these armor pieces, he would probably only have the option to flee, unable to resist.

However, the Lin family was currently only on the defensive. With the Sword Water Divine Formation in place, although this attack was too powerful, the formation remained intact after all the armor pieces collided with it.

What was even more miraculous was that these armor pieces flew back onto the body of the beast, seemingly capable of attacking again.

However, the beast did not attack again. Its two round eyes stared at the Lin family's mountain within the formation, especially at Lin Qing. It looked for a while before leaving.

The three Crimson Fire Wolves and the Devouring Sky Tiger also followed suit and left. One of the Crimson Fire Wolves even glanced back, giving Lin Qing a sense of familiarity.

Thinking of the incident when the Purple Gold Toad broke through, encountering the peeping scene, Lin Qing thought to himself that it was probably this beast.

And this meant that the Purple Gold Toad, which Lin Qing had been protecting so well, had probably already exposed its strength.

But this was just as well, as it allowed these demonic beasts to understand the true strength of the Lin family's mountain.

At this moment, watching the three Purple Mansion demonic beasts leave, Lin Qing suddenly had a bold idea. It was to launch a surprise attack at this moment, especially against that Devouring Sky Tiger. It was too formidable. If it were to attack like this from time to time in the future, the high-level cultivators of the Lin family's mountain would be unharmed, but the low-level cultivators would suffer.

However, this idea only emerged briefly in Lin Qing's mind, and he did not act on it.

It was too risky and not worth it.

Not to mention the strength of these three demonic beasts, even more demonic beasts that had not yet appeared were not something he could withstand. It was still better to focus on defense for now.

After the three demonic beasts left, Lin Qing felt somewhat worried, unsure of what other means they would employ.

But unexpectedly, before the demonic beasts could attack again, an unexpected figure arrived.

"Master Hua!"

It was Master Hua who learned that the beast tide had first attacked the Lin family's mountain and came to assist.

When Master Hua arrived, Lin Qing was overjoyed, but then he thought about how even Master Hua from a faraway place had come, while the nearby Qingfeng Sect and Xianxia Sect had not sent anyone. Lin Qing's heart turned cold.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, are you alright?" After entering the formation, Master Hua anxiously asked Lin Qing.

Lin Qing smiled, expressing his gratitude first before speaking about other matters. "Thank you for coming, Fellow Daoist Hua. Your arrival this time will be remembered by my Lin family. Even I, Lin Qing, will remember this favor from Fellow Daoist in the future."

Master Hua, however, casually replied, "Isn't this what we agreed upon? When one side is in trouble, the others provide support. I heard that the beast tide first arrived at the Lin family's mountain, so naturally, I came."

Lin Qing nodded but sighed. "Fellow Daoist's sense of righteousness is still as strong as ever. We agreed on this point in the past, but now only Fellow Daoist has come."

"Oh, this..." Huaxiu's face changed, and he asked incredulously, "Are you saying that no one from Qingfeng Sect and Xianxia Sect has come?"

Lin Qing looked at Huaxiu. Although their Lin family had repelled this wave of beasts and was safe, the indifference of Qingfeng Sect and Xianxia Sect still made him feel a bit disheartened.

Lin Qing slowly spoke, "Fellow Daoist, if they had come, why would I say such things?"

"This shouldn't be the case. When we left Zhaoguo at the Bai Bao Tower, we had a good agreement. Now it seems like everyone has forgotten about it. This really shouldn't have happened, really shouldn't have happened." Huaxiu shook his head and sighed.

At this moment, Lin Qing smiled and said, "Maybe they think that my Lin family mountain can't withstand this beast tide, so they don't need to come."

"How is that possible? With Fellow Daoist here and being a formation master, it's not easy for you to fall into the hands of the beasts. By the way, can Fellow Daoist tell me more about these beasts?" Huaxiu asked Lin Qing.

Upon hearing Huaxiu's question about the beast tide, Lin Qing began to explain. The sheer number of beasts in the initial tide made Huaxiu gasp, and when he heard that the Lin family mountain formation had repelled the beast tide, he showed a look of joy. As he listened to the description of the three Purple Mansion beasts later on, he became focused, seemingly trying to remember all the details.

"I didn't expect it to be so dangerous," Huaxiu sighed after Lin Qing finished speaking.

Lin Qing also nodded, then looked in the direction where the beasts had left, and said with lingering fear, "We underestimated the power of this beast tide. If they had gone all out in the first wave, our Lin family mountain might not have been able to withstand it. But their continuous probing has given the Lin family mountain an opportunity. Now that so many low-level beasts have died, it must be painful for them."

Huaxiu knew that when Lin Qing mentioned "them," he was referring to the late-stage Purple Mansion beasts commanding this beast tide. Huaxiu spoke, "These Purple Mansion beasts are indeed strange. Once they reach the late-stage of the Purple Mansion, not only does their strength increase, but their intelligence becomes almost human-like, even more cunning than humans. The mid-stage Purple Mansion beasts don't have this ability, only they can command the beast tide."

Lin Qing nodded, "That's right. When these beasts reach the late-stage of the Purple Mansion, their intelligence is comparable to that of human cultivators. In my opinion, this is also their preparation for the Gold Core stage. After all, these beasts can transform once they reach the Gold Core stage, which is much more powerful than human cultivators."

"That's true," Huaxiu agreed. "Although I haven't seen it myself, I've heard a lot about how powerful beasts become after reaching the Gold Core stage. Fortunately, there are no Gold Core beasts in this beast tide."

Lin Qing laughed and jokingly said, "If there were Gold Core beasts, my Lin family would be the first to leave Zhaoguo."

"Hahaha." Huaxiu also laughed and then said, "Then my Chiyang Immortal City wouldn't fall behind either."

Although they were joking, if there really were Gold Core beasts in this beast tide, not only Lin Qing and Huaxiu, but the entire Zhaoguo would probably scatter and flee.

However, there was no need to worry about this. Gold Core beasts seek places that can help their cultivation, and not just Zhaoguo, even the entire Shangyun Province, they probably wouldn't be interested. It would be impossible for them to command a beast tide to attack Zhaoguo, because even if they took over Zhaoguo, it would be useless to them.

While the two were talking, they continued to keep an eye on the situation outside the formation, guarding against the beast tide's return.

In Lin Qing's opinion, if the beast tide were to come again, it would probably be much larger in scale, and they might even try to take down his Lin family mountain. This made him have to be on guard.

But now that Huaxiu was here, along with his Lin family and the Sword Water Divine Formation, they were much safer than before.

Half a day passed, and the beast tide did not return. Lin Qing then received a message from the Queen Bee, saying that many beasts had moved away within a radius of 500 li from the Lin family mountain.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps this beast tide also felt that it was difficult to break through his Lin family mountain and chose another place.
