Chapter 47: The Destruction of the Lin Family
Chapter 47: The Destruction of the Lin Family
At the Fire Lotus Mountain, Fang Yun sized up the three Foundation Establishment seeds in front of him.
Niu Dingtian, the last hope of Funiu Mountain, studied at the Fang family for decades.
He has a mid-grade fire spirit root and is now a first-grade high-grade weapon refiner.
Lu Xuanming, with a mid-grade water spiritual root, is a rising young cultivator in the Lu family in recent years.
According to seniority, he is also a third-generation descendant of Lu Guishou, and looks quite young with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.
He is exceptionally skilled at drawing talismans.
Fang Changming possesses a mid-grade earth elemental root and is a rare array master in the family.
His talent and comprehension are only passable; he is currently a mid-tier first-order formation master.
The reason why he was able to stand out in the clan and have the opportunity to establish a demon spirit foundation was due to the legacy of his ancestors.
He is a descendant of his senior brother, Fang Yaosheng.
Looking at the little guy's bright eyes and brows, Fang Yun could vaguely see the shadow of an old friend.
Time flies, and my senior brother has passed away long ago. The Fang family now consists entirely of new faces.
"Brother Yun, what do you think?"
"With my targeted training, they are absolutely confident they can withstand the final onslaught of the demonic souls!"
Beside them stood an old man covered in white hair.
His voice was booming, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was gnawing on a raw beast leg, like a great white tiger demon in human form, with blue ice flames burning on his fur.
It was Fang Yaode, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
He had originally received a tiger claw arm, but after more than a hundred years of bloodline erosion, he finally became a half-demon.
Fang Yun even suspected that this was precisely the flaw in the Demon Spirit Foundation Building Technique.
Silently, the bloodlines of the human and demon races merged and grew stronger.
This makes one wonder if this is a forbidden sorcery.
Could it be that some powerful demon deliberately deduced this to erode the bloodline of the human race?
"Have the three of you chosen your respective demonic beasts?"
Fang Yaode nodded and took out a map of the Mangdang Mountains.
The targets are the Fiery Bull, the Blackwater Python, and a Jade Giant Elephant.
"The Black Water Python was something that the young master of the Lu family insisted on. I would recommend that he choose a herbivorous monster instead."
Fang Yaode chewed the animal bones into pieces in a few bites and swallowed them all, acting completely like a savage.
With his bloodlust satisfied, the crimson in his eyes faded slightly, revealing a clearer look.
Fang Yun sighed softly, "Let him be."
He did not hide Lu Guishou's death, but simply erased the enmity between him and the Chen family of Yuquan.
With the target set, the hunt was about to begin.
This time, the Fang family went all out to ensure everything went perfectly.
Fang Yun, Fang Yaode, Fang Shiyu, Fang Shinian, Fang Changqing.
All five Foundation Establishment cultivators made their move, and they also prepared a second-tier formation.
Fang Yu's goal is very clear: to prepare a successor.
The foundation building of the hidden lineage's demon spirits will be entrusted to Shiyu and Changqing in the future.
A group of people quietly set off, boarded a spirit boat, and successfully arrived at the Mangdang Mountains.
Things went very smoothly; with so many Foundation Establishment cultivators working together, there was no possibility of any unexpected events.
The Fang family camp has once again produced three more demon spirits who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage!
If Fang Anting is included, then that's a massive force of nine Foundation Establishment cultivators!
It's impossible to overthrow the Aoki Sect; they're simply too far off.
However, it was enough to surpass those few declining Golden Core clans, secretly controlling a large territory.
"When will we make our move against the Lin family? My time is running out..."
Fang Yaode drank a gourd of beast blood wine, his eyes filled with murderous intent and hatred.
He was a true loyalist of the Fang family, who came to their doorstep when the three clans besieged Ziqing Lake.
In Fang Yaode's eyes, that was an absolute disgrace to the family!
Fang Yun was silent for a moment: "How much longer do you have to live?"
He is 160 years old this year, while Fang Yaode is much older than him.
Moreover, being a fire elemental root, one is naturally not good at nourishing life and prolonging life, and one's meridians and bones are covered with hidden injuries.
"At most three years, their qi and blood will start to decline, and they won't live more than ten years."
Fang Yaode gulped down the strong liquor, the crimson liquid dripping down his lips like blood.
"Soon, I will be able to refine the Purple-Veined Longevity Pill to extend the lives of Foundation Establishment cultivators."
Fang Yaode chuckled and shook his head: "How many pills can be made from one batch? This stuff is even more precious than Foundation Establishment Pills. Don't waste it on me. Leave it for Shiyu and Changqing."
He has a very open mind and is very carefree.
Fang Yaode originally thought that he had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in this life and had become a complete cripple.
I never expected things to turn around like this, and I've made it this far. I've lived a truly fulfilling life.
A year later, the three of them had stabilized their cultivation and fully adapted to the magic power of the Foundation Establishment level.
To ensure combat effectiveness, Fang Yun prepared an offensive magical artifact for each person.
Of course, they were all bought from the black market, so their origins aren't exactly clean.
The Fang family cannot be traced.
Then, they faced one last question.
What excuse can be used to destroy the Lin family without provoking the wrath of the Green Wood Sect?
The head of the family, Fang Shiping, gave them an idea.
Years have passed, and Fang Yun, the third son, has become an old man.
He even developed a somewhat prosperous appearance, with a beard growing under his chin, and was exceptionally shrewd and cunning.
"Initiate a beast tide to create the illusion of an attack by a Foundation Establishment level demon, and then remove Purple Green Lake from the picture."
"Finally, the Fang family will step in to quell the demonic threat, using the corpse of a second-tier demonic beast as evidence, and then they can rightfully destroy the Lin family."
That's a really good idea.
Fang Yun never imagined that he could completely hide it from the Qingmu Sect.
All he needs is a plausible excuse; he can smooth things over by bribing his superiors and subordinates.
Following the map, the group indeed discovered a territory of demonic beasts very close to the Lin family.
Luojiao Ravine.
The place where that ancient cultivation cave was born is also the place where this Demon Spirit Foundation Building Method was passed down.
The Lin family's home, Fuyunze, is more than 6,000 li away from Luojiaojian, and is connected by major rivers.
It would be perfect to launch a beast tide.
When Fang Yun and his fellow Foundation Establishment cultivators arrived here, the mountain stream was steep and the rapids were surging.
The cliffs on both sides are covered with carvings, as if they were cut by a knife and axe.
Legend has it that a dragon once perished here, and the wild, untamed atmosphere still lingers.
A cold wind howled at the bottom of the ravine, and dark green cliffs jutted into the sky. Waves carrying pebbles tumbled down, turning into a great river that rushed into the distance.
Back then, this place was quite lively, attracting many cultivators who flocked here.
After a century of recuperation, the beast herd has flourished once again, exuding a sinister aura.
Lu Xuanming is quite capable; after many twists and turns, he actually found a second-tier demonic beast.
It was none other than the familiar Blackwater Python, which ruled over many snake demon clans.
They live deep in the mountain streams, running rampant and dominating the area.
"There's more than one! This is a female snake, and there's also a python!"
Concealing their presence, the group witnessed the true overlord of Luojiao Ravine.
It resembles a venomous snake, but has grown a bluish-black horn on its head. Its body is coiled up like a mountain, and it is fast asleep in its nest.
In a few decades, I may be able to successfully break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
That black water python was merely its favorite concubine, who had already given birth to three enormous snake eggs.
The group quietly retreated, exchanged glances, and already had a plan in mind.
They planned to steal the snake eggs, divert the trouble westward, and use the help of two great demons to incite a beast tide.
Fang Changming and Lu Xuanming were the most excited, eyeing the snake eggs and wanting to take them as their clan's guardian spirit beasts.
Fang Yun remained silent throughout, letting these young people do as they pleased.
Even if things go wrong in the end, he is confident he can cover for himself.
Lu Xuanming, from a great distance, activated his demonic energy and successfully lured away the Black Water Python.
She thought it was a member of her own kind who had come to steal her husband!
Fang Changming and Niu Dingtian, on the other hand, put on a snakeskin, jumped into the depths of the stream, and successfully stole the snake eggs.
As Foundation Establishment cultivators, they were capable of doing something flawless, but they deliberately left traces.
The lingering aura led all clues to the Floating Cloud Marsh downstream.
Half a day later, accompanied by an uncontrollable roar, all the demonic beasts in the entire Falling Dragon Gorge began to riot.
Two python demons led a horde of monsters down the river, heading straight for the Lin family!
Fang Yun hovered above the clouds, monitoring the direction of the beast tide to prevent it from taking the wrong path.
He had also studied the beast-taming inheritance and specially prepared several doses of pill powder.
It can cloud the minds of demonic beasts and unleash their ferocious nature.
That's why it went so smoothly.
The moonlight was hazy, and dark clouds obscured the starlight.
We finally arrived at Fuyunze. A thin layer of mist floated on the water, stretching endlessly and splashing in the night.
The Lin family members, fast asleep, are about to face annihilation.
