I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 248 "Trap"

It was not the prepared Linjia Mountain and Xianxia Sect, but the much farther Chiyang Immortal City, which was closer to the beast-controlled area.

To be honest, after receiving this information, Lin Qing was extremely surprised and didn't understand what the beast was thinking. Although Chiyang Immortal City was weaker than Linjia Mountain and Xianxia Sect, it was not easy to take it down, especially since it was close to the Yan Kingdom and the journey was long. Even if it was taken, it would be difficult to defend.

But the beast was indeed heading towards Chiyang Immortal City, with as many as seven Purple Mansion beasts leading the way, which could be said to be an elite force.

After receiving the request for help from Hua Xiu, Lin Qing, although still somewhat puzzled, hurried there.

Regardless of what the beast was thinking, in the face of Hua Xiu's request for help, he had to go. After all, Hua Xiu was the only one who came to help his Lin family. Regardless of their relationship, this alone was enough reason for Lin Qing to go.

After arriving at Chiyang Immortal City and looking out from inside the city, there were densely packed beasts outside, comparable to the attack on Linjia Mountain.

Among them were one late-stage Purple Mansion beast, two mid-stage beasts, and four early-stage beasts, all of them extremely powerful.

"Lin Fellow Daoist, thank you for coming. It's really great that you could come," Hua Xiu said happily when he saw Lin Qing arrive.

It was not surprising that Hua Xiu said this. Currently, he was the only early-stage Purple Mansion cultivator in Chiyang Immortal City. Although there was a large formation, it was not enough to deal with so many beasts.

Upon hearing Hua Xiu's joyous words, Lin Qing also smiled and replied, "Fellow Daoist, I always remember when you came to my Lin family."

Hua Xiu nodded, then looked with Lin Qing at the tide of beasts outside the city. Hua Xiu said, "I have informed Xianxia Sect as well. There should be two more Purple Mansion cultivators coming later. But what has been bothering me is why this beast tide is attacking Chiyang Immortal City. It's really strange."

Lin Qing nodded when he heard this, "Indeed, I thought the same before I came. Something doesn't seem right."

"But," Lin Qing changed the subject, "my Linjia Mountain still has Purple Mansion cultivators, and with the cooperation of the formation, even if these beasts have other intentions, it won't help. And after the merger of Xianxia Sect in recent years, their strength has also become stronger. It will be difficult for these beasts to launch a surprise attack for a while. I really can't understand the reason for this tide coming to Chiyang Immortal City."

"Yes," Hua Xiu also nodded.

After a while, someone from Xianxia Sect arrived, but only one person came, and it was Elder Hu.

As soon as they met, Elder Hu apologized, "Fellow Daoist Hua, I'm really sorry. Originally, I was supposed to come with Master Qin, but this beast tide is extremely strange, and our Grand Master is afraid of accidents, so he sent me first. I hope Fellow Daoist understands."

Hua Xiu glanced at Lin Qing, and the two of them could understand what had been said just now.

"Elder Hu, I can naturally understand. But with Elder Hu here, it's enough. The formation in Chiyang Immortal City is not so easily broken, and I still have some confidence," Hua Xiu said again.

Lin Qing nodded on the side but did not speak.

He looked at Hua Xiu. Since the last time he actively hunted the beasts and Hua Xiu said those words to him, Lin Qing found that Hua Xiu's cultivation seemed to have not improved at all. Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that Hua Xiu was still unable to break through.

He then looked at Elder Hu, who was already over three hundred years old and had very slow cultivation progress. Compared to before, his complexion was slightly yellow, showing signs of aging. Lin Qing thought to himself that compared to Hua Xiu, it would be even more difficult for Elder Hu to improve his cultivation.

"The beasts are here!"

Suddenly, Hua Xiu said, and they saw the numerous beasts that had been waiting outside the formation rushing towards Chiyang Immortal City.

"Dear Fellow Daoists, I will now preside over the grand formation. I hope that both of you can assist on the side," said Master Hua.

Lin Qing and Elder Hu nodded. Master Hua immediately sat down and displayed the protective formation of the Red Sun Immortal City.

As a formation master, Lin Qing was immediately captivated by the formation. He could tell that although this formation was slightly inferior to their Lin family's Sword Water Divine Formation, it was still an extremely powerful third-grade high-quality formation. Lin Qing estimated that it was on par with the original Clear Wind Sect's protective formation, or even stronger. The Red Sun Immortal City had quite a profound background.

While Master Hua was presiding over the formation, the formation constantly changed with his every move. Although it didn't have the water swords that could cause massive damage like the Lin family's mountain, this formation still produced numerous flames of varying sizes, which were more powerful than ordinary fireball spells. Each time they landed, they caused considerable damage. The purple palace demonic beasts, just like the ones on Lin family's mountain, were commanding from behind and didn't come forward, only letting the lower-cultivation demonic beasts go to their deaths.

While Master Hua was operating the formation, Lin Qing occasionally assisted, but it was mainly Master Hua who was busy.

Meanwhile, Lin Qing kept paying attention to the communication disc in his hand and several communication talismans. If there was any danger at Lin family's mountain, these items would light up immediately.

However, seeing the motionless communication disc and talismans, Lin Qing also relaxed.

As he watched the endless tide of beasts, Lin Qing shifted his focus to Master Hua.

Lin family's mountain,

Since Lin Qing went to the Red Sun Immortal City, his several sons had become extremely vigilant, especially Lin Xuqing, who was prepared to activate the formation at any time. However, Lin family's mountain remained calm and there was no movement. It seemed that these demonic beasts didn't have any other plans.

But while others thought this way, Lin Xuchang felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.

He was currently at the peak of the Foundation Building stage, having lost all five senses, but he could still sense some of the family's situation through his divine sense.

After Lin Qing left, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if something was wrong there.

This feeling grew stronger and stronger, forcing him to take out the tortoise shell and, although he couldn't see or speak, he began a divination.

After a moment, Lin Xuchang was greatly shocked.

He didn't expect it to be like this.

But it was already too late to inform his father, Lin Qing. Lin Xuchang put away the tortoise shell and immediately left the house, stumbling towards a direction in Lin family's mountain.

Although he crushed the communication talisman on the way, his speed increased even more.

At this moment, in an underground location near Lin family's lake, a demonic beast in the late Purple Palace stage was continuously burrowing forward.

This demonic beast was the same one that attacked Lin family's mountain before, resembling an armadillo.

As for why it was burrowing underground, we have to start from the beginning.

Since the failed attack on Lin family's mountain and witnessing the terrifying formation, this demonic beast knew that Lin family's mountain would be the most difficult bone to chew on. Over the years, it had been trying to find a way to break this formation.

As luck would have it, this demonic beast finally found a method to break the formation of Lin family's mountain.

That method was water. This formation of Lin family's mountain required spiritual energy and water to unleash its maximum power. Spiritual energy was difficult to destroy as it came from the spiritual veins, but water was much simpler.

Thus, this operation to attack the Red Sun Immortal City was just a cover. Their true goal was to destroy the entire Lin family's lake. Then, when Lin Qing was absent, they would easily take over Lin family's mountain. At that time, with the combined strength of the demonic beasts, Lin family's mountain would be unable to resist.
