The Rise of the Shen Family

Chapter 745 Fire Attack

When Shen Ruiling arrived at the appointed place, Shen Ruizhi and the rest had already arrived, but judging from the serious expressions on everyone's faces, it seemed that none of them had gained much.

"Have any of you inquired about the internal situation of the Liang family?"

Shen Ruiling glanced at everyone, then asked in a deep voice.

"The Liang family seems to have received the news in advance, and they have withdrawn all the monks in the mortal villages and towns to the mountain gate, and even the few small families around have gone to the building."

Shen Ruizhi and Shen Yongxuan were the first to speak. After collecting the information that everyone had inquired about, they truthfully relayed it to Shen Ruiling.

After hearing the news from the crowd, Shen Ruiling couldn't help but nodded, but didn't say anything.

Originally, he hoped that Shen Ruizhi and others could find out some information about the Liang family's background, but now it seems that it is his wishful thinking.

At this moment, Du Mingjun looked at the silent Shen Ruiling, and said seriously:

"The only thing that is certain now is that there are still at least two to three foundation-building monks in the Liang family. They rely on the third-tier top-rank clan protection formation, which is enough to resist our attack."

After hearing this, Shen Ruiling had already heard the former's implication, and after glancing at her, she finally asked with a smile:

"So Fellow Daoist Du thinks what to do next?"

Facing Shen Ruiling's questioning, Du Mingjun seemed unwilling to show weakness, and said directly:

"For the present plan, we must either seek the help of other teams, gather the strength of the two teams to break through the Liang family's mountain gate, and negotiate the distribution of wealth after the war."

"Or just abandon the Liang family and turn around to attack other families in Canglan County"

"Please also ask Fellow Daoist Shen to make a decision early!"

Hearing this, Wei Chenghe and the two guests from the Shen family couldn't help but glance at Du Mingjun, and then they all looked at the silent Shen Ruiling in unison.

After realizing that the eyes of several people were on him, Shen Ruiling slowly raised his head to look at the crowd, and said in a calm voice:

"As far as I know, there are currently four foundation-building monks in the Liang family's mountain gate, and there is also a foundation-building Dzogchen monk among them."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone including Du Mingjun was greatly surprised, and a look of disbelief immediately appeared in their eyes when they looked at Shen Ruiling.

After all, they had inquired about the news before that Liang Wenbai, the head of the Liang family, personally brought two foundation masters to support the Tuyang Valley Mine.

Based on the five Foundation Establishment cultivators who showed up in the Liang family, there are only two Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Liang Family Mountain Gate at this time, and at most three.

But now Shen Ruiling told them that there are still four foundation-building monks in the mountain gate of the Liang family, and one of them is a foundation-building Dzogchen monk.

How to convince them at this moment?

"Fellow Daoist, are you serious?"

Du Mingjun looked directly at the calm Shen Ruiling, a look of shock and disbelief flashed across his fair face.

"It's true, do you really think that the Liang family can secure the position of the prominent family in Canglan County only by relying on the patriarch Liang Wenbai, a foundation-building Dzogchen monk, and the other four foundation-building monks?"

Shen Ruiling looked at Du Mingjun and the others calmly as before, and said slowly.

After hearing this, Du Mingjun and the others couldn't help but fell into silence, and stopped talking.

On this side, Shen Ruiling glanced at everyone, and then continued:

"Actually, the four foundation-building cultivators in the Liang family are not a big problem. The only thing that is difficult to deal with right now is the third-tier top-rank clan protection array of the Liang family."

Shen Ruiling's words are not exaggerated. After all, they have seven foundation-establishment monks here, and there are two late-stage foundation-establishment monks, he and Du Mingjun, and the rest are also middle-stage foundation-establishment monks.

If the four foundation-building cultivators of the Liang family were not protected by the third-tier top-rank clan protection formation, they would not be opponents of Shen Ruiling and the other seven at all.

"However, I have a way to break through the clan protection formation of the Liang family."

Suddenly, Shen Ruiling's calm voice sounded in the ears of Du Mingjun and others again.

When the latter four heard it, they looked at Shen Ruiling again, and even Shen Ruizhi and Shen Yongxuan also looked at the former.

"Shen Daoyou really has a way to break through the Liang family's clan protection array?"

Du Mingjun looked at Shen Ruiling who was not far away, and asked in disbelief.

Hearing this, Shen Ruiling glanced at her first, then his eyes fell on the rest of the people, and said in a low voice:

"That's natural. Tonight, when you saw the flames in the Liang family's mountain gate, you immediately attacked the Liang family's clan protection array light curtain with all your strength. When the time comes, the formation will definitely be broken!"

"After the Liang family's family protection formation is broken, you will immediately kill Liangtai Mountain, and the foundation-building Dzogchen monk will be handed over to me and fellow Taoist Du to deal with the rest of the Liang family's foundation-building monks. Deal with it and strive to resolve the battle in the shortest possible time."

When Du Mingjun and the others heard Shen Ruiling's plan, they were all shocked, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Judging from the meaning of the former, it seems that they want to break through the Liang family's family protection formation with internal and external cooperation, but what will happen in it is obviously beyond their knowledge.

Du Mingjun and others, who quickly figured it out, bowed their hands to Shen Ruiling in unison and said:

"I will obey Jun's order!"

. . . . . .

The night wind was blowing, and there were thick clouds floating in the pitch-black sky, covering up the bright moon.

Under the night, the clan protection formation of the Liang family still stood there, blocking the cold night wind outside. In the big formation, there were many more lights dotted with stars than before. It seemed that the members of the Liang family stepped up their patrol at night.

At this time, a black shadow slowly appeared from the ground in a bush near the foot of Liangtai Mountain. After carefully looking at the large light curtain not far away, the black shadow disappeared in place again.

Several feet deep underground, Shen Ruiling kept advancing towards the Liang family's mountain gate by virtue of the "Escape from the Ground Technique", but soon a large light barrier formed by the roots of the spirit tree appeared in front of him.

The Liang family's clan protection formation not only completely enveloped the entire Liang family mountain gate, but even the underground was covered by the light curtain of the formation.

With the existence of this array of light curtains, even a monk like Shen Ruiling, who can hide from the ground, cannot sneak into the gate of the Liang Family Mountain without making a sound.

Shen Ruiling looked at the large light curtain blocking his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, and then he directly took out the wooden sign and all the array-setting utensils from his storage bag.

I saw that he first threw out a formation plate in a regular manner, and then took out several formation flags, and quickly arranged a third-order formation.

After the simple formation was set up, he put the wooden tablet into the formation again, and then kept pinching out formulas with both hands.

At this time, the wooden sign in the formation formed a certain connection with the light curtain of the Liang family's protective formation, and it seemed that countless formation patterns flowed into the light curtain from the formation plate.

"go!"

After a long time, Shen Ruiling suddenly opened his eyes, and the wooden sign in the formation flew out directly, making a hole in the emerald green light curtain.

Immediately afterwards, his whole body was enveloped in the light of the formation, and he carefully passed through the light curtain and entered the other side.

After entering the Liang family's guardian formation, Shen Ruiling looked back at the opening of the light curtain that had not been closed, and then immediately moved quickly to Liangtai Mountain.

From Liang Xingchao's memory, he obtained a map of the distribution of all the buildings in the Liang Family Mountain Gate, and thus clearly knew where the foundation of the Liang Family Protector Array was located.

The clan protection formation of the Liang family is called [Sun Luo Vientiane Formation], and the foundation of the formation is the thousands of spiritual trees near the mountainside of Liangtai Mountain.

So as long as the thousands of spiritual trees cultivated by the Liang family can be destroyed, the power of the entire formation can be said to be zero.

At that time, even though there were still four foundation-building stage monks in charge of the formation inside the Liang Family Mountain Gate, they still couldn't stop the full-scale attack of Du Mingjun and the other six people outside.

After half a cup of tea, Shen Ruiling came to a place halfway up the mountain, and in front of his eyes was a third-order spirit tree more than ten feet high.

There are thousands of spiritual trees on Liangtai Mountain, so it is impossible for him to destroy them all quietly. The most important thing is the third-order spiritual tree.

The Liang family also set up a protective formation around this third-order spiritual tree. This formation is connected with the clan protection formation, which can protect the spiritual tree very well.

After all, the value of a Tier 3 spirit tree is not low, and it is also used as the foundation of the Liang family's formation, so it can't be sloppy.

However, when the protective formation around this spirit tree is connected with the clan protection formation, it is completely meaningless to Shen Ruiling.

Following the method of sneaking into the clan protection formation before, he calmly passed through the formation outside the spirit tree again, without raising the alarm of the formation at all.

Shen Ruiling walked through the formation outside and came to this third-order spirit tree. He glanced at this tree, then raised his palm, and gently stroked its rough bark.

And the moment his palm touched the tree trunk, a tiny blazing flame entered into the tree trunk and began to burn slowly.

Under the control of Shen Ruiling, the ray of flame that entered the body of the spirit wood would not burn into a raging fire immediately, but would burn its interior bit by bit, and finally burn the whole tree.

If it weren't for the only way at the moment, Shen Ruiling would really be reluctant to destroy so many third-order spiritual woods, after all, these things may be their trophies in the future.

There are more than 20 third-order spiritual trees on Liangtai Mountain. It is impossible for Shen Ruiling to destroy all the more than twenty kinds of third-order spiritual trees at the same time.

And once a third-order spirit tree is destroyed in advance, it will be discovered by the members of the Liang family, thus making them ready for battle in advance.

But if, like Shen Ruiling, he tampered with every third-order spirit tree, then these spirit trees would die slowly, and the Liang family would not be aware of it.

After finishing this third-order spirit tree, Shen Ruiling immediately left here and sneaked towards the next third-order spirit tree.

He used the same method to enter the protective array of other third-order spirit trees, injected a ray of flame into the tree, then restored the array to its original state, and finally left calmly.

The whole process was as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water. Even if there were night-watching monks passing by, they couldn't find Shen Ruiling who was hiding in the dark.

After all, those monks who were watching the night were only monks in the qi training period, so it was impossible to find him, and all his actions were carried out from the ground.

While Shen Ruiling was busy, Shen Ruizhi and others had already waited on the periphery of the formation, and they could immediately attack Liangtai Mountain as soon as the flames on the mountain lit up.

On this side, Shen Ruiling finally took care of the last third-order spirit tree, but his eyes immediately turned to the position behind Liangtai Mountain.

There is a fourth-order spiritual peach tree that the Liang family has cultivated for more than a thousand years. It is not only a treasure, but also the core of the Liang family's clan protection array.

However, if you want to reach the back mountain of the Liang family smoothly, it is not easy to see the fourth-order spirit tree. After all, it is the treasure of the township that is heavily protected by the Liang family.

Of course, this doesn't bother Shen Ruiling, he just lacks an opportunity!

At this moment, following Shen Ruiling's thought, the more than twenty strands of flames hidden in the third-order spiritual wood instantly burned violently.

In an instant, a scene of flames bursting into the sky appeared on Liangtai Mountain, and the more than twenty burning third-order spiritual trees quickly spread the fire to other spiritual trees.

The soaring fire immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Liang family. The Liang family began to try to put out the fire, but those flames could not be extinguished by ordinary means.

Soon the fire attracted the four foundation-building cultivators of the Liang family, and the old man in the foundation-building realm looked at the sea of ​​flames in front of him, and his face darkened instantly.

"how so?"

"We didn't know that this weird fire started burning in an instant!"

The middle-aged man quickly replied.

At this time, the old man seemed to be aware of something suddenly. He suddenly looked at the large light curtain above his head, and found that the family's guardian array was rapidly dimming.

"Not good, hurry up and guard the guardian formation!"

After reacting, he immediately yelled, but it was obviously too late.

"Boom"

Accompanied by a deafening bang from the sky, the entire light curtain of the Liang family's clan guard trembled violently in an instant.

Outside the big formation at this time, Du Mingjun and the other six, who had been waiting for a long time at the foot of the mountain, immediately began to attack the Liang family's clan protection light curtain with all their strength when they saw the fire on the mountain soaring into the sky.

As the powerful magical powers fell on the light curtain, cracks began to appear on the originally indestructible light curtain, and the cracks quickly covered the entire light curtain.

The clan protection formation of the Liang family, which has almost lost all the foundations of the formation, can't exert much power at all, and now it is not even as good as a second-tier top-rank formation.

"Boom."

When Du Mingjun chopped down a purple sword glow that was several feet long on the light curtain, the crumbling light curtain finally shattered.
