“The ancestor of the Yu Family is trying to break through to the Core
Formation Realm. He has a third-order beast with a bloodline. If it can succeed in breaking through to the third order, the Yu family will have quite a power. Even if he doesn’t reach the Core Formation Realm, if they could get a Haoyuan Pill and achieve a pseudocore formation, that would still be formidable.”
Su Bin said: “Elders from the Jiang Family and Huang Family, who are at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, are also trying to make a breakthrough. It didn’t seem possible before as they had fewer resources than the Yunjian Sect. It’s very hard to break through to the Core Formation Realm and even reaching a pseudocore formation is not easy. But since the ruins of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate showed up, the resources inside have given them hope.”
“The Yunjian Sect is aware of this. That’s why an atmosphere of tension has prevailed among the Yunjian Sect, Yu family, Jiang family, Huang family, and other forces in the ruins of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate.”
“If things continue like this, a battle could be unavoidable.”
Shaking his head, Su Bin added: “But these things are far beyond our reach in the Su Family, we can’t intervene.”
“On the other hand, there’s the Bai Family of Maple City, who recently went into the Golden Jade Fairy Gate ruins with the Huang family. It’s rumored that they even found some opportunities there and managed to have someone break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
“Given the nature of the Bai Family, they might stir up trouble again after digesting the gains obtained from the ruins of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate.” “Of course, our family can handle the current strength of the Bai Family.”
“What’s worrisome is that after the Jiang Family and the Huang Family retreat from the Golden Jade Fairy Gate ruins, they might cause trouble.”
“Really?” Su Yu murmured a phrase, “Bai Family of Maple City.”
He figured that the Bai Family wouldn’t have the opportunity to make trouble in the future.
In the past, he mentioned that he would settle scores with the Bai Family. If he wasn’t a coward, one day, he would repay them a thousand, ten thousand times for the things they did in the past.
While Su Yu, Su Bin, and Su Jingbang were leisurely enjoying their tea around the stove, a figure quietly appeared in the vicinity of Tan Mountain outside Maple City under the cover of the night. His dark eyes pierced the night veil, staring at the area occupied by the Bai Family.
Then he turned his body and moved towards the resource spot that had been previously captured by the Su Family and Chen Family from the Bai Family.
It was also a spirit mine mountain, one of the important resources occupied by the Bai Family in Maple City.
When the Avatar puppet arrived outside the spirit mine mountain, he swept his divine sense over the area and found that more than forty cultivators from the Bai Family were guarding it, with two at the peak of Qi Refinement Realm.
Such defenses were obviously no match for the Avatar puppet, but he didn’t carelessly attack. Instead he sent out a late-stage first-order puppet beast from his Qiankun Bag: “First, let’s probe the formation here.”
Under the control of the Avatar puppet’s divine sense, the puppet beast activated and quietly rushed from the wilderness towards the spirit mine mountain.
The spirit mine mountain was patrolled day and night, and a warning formation was always active.
Just as the puppet beast approached the spirit mine mountain, a cultivator at the peak of the eighth layer of Qi Refinement who was meditating in a house within suddenly changed his expression, opened his eyes, and thought, “This isn’t good.”
Whoosh!
Just as he was about to sound the alarm, the puppet beast already rushed into the spirit mine mountain.
“BANG!”
With one swing of its paw, a house on the outskirts of the mining area was instantly turned into rubble, and a Qi Refinement Realm second-layer cultivator residing inside had turned into a pool of blood mixed with mud.
The next moment, the puppet beast rushed toward the adjacent house again.
“You beast! You’re courting death!” The cultivator at the peak of the eighth layer of Qi Refinement was filled with anger.
A few control banners appeared at his wave, and his mana was poured into them to stimulate the formation.
Hum!
With the shaking of nature’s spiritual energy above the spirit mine mountain, a confinement formation was triggered. Countless chains of mana appeared in the sky, binding toward the puppet beast that was attacking the mining zone.
At the same time the confining formation was activated, a protective large-formation barrier rose up, and a dangerous killing intent loomed over the spirit mine mountain.
“BANG!”
Countless mana chains came to bind it, but the puppet beast was very ferocious. With the swing of its paws, the mana chains shattered. Before the confining formation could completely bind it, it smashed the second house with another swing of its paw.
The low-level Qi Refinement cultivator inside was buried along with it.
The next moment, numerous divine chains from the confining formation bound the puppet beast and lifted it into the air.
Despite the extreme struggle of the puppet beast, it couldn’t escape from the power of the second order lower-grade trap array.
After the puppet beast was bound, swish, swish, swish.
All remaining Bai Family cultivators on the Spirit Ore Mountain charged out, including two Qi-Refinement-stage-9 cultivators responsible for guarding this resource area.
They rushed to the vicinity of the puppet beast and began to encircle it.
However, when the two Qi-Refinement-stage-9 cultivators saw the puppet beast’s face clearly, their expressions changed drastically: “It’s not a magical beast, it’s a first-grade, high-quality puppet beast!”
There was a significant difference here.
If it was a magical beast, it could just be a regular magical beast attack.
But since it was a puppet beast, it could only mean one thing, someone wanted to target their resource area through this puppet beast attack!
“Activate the defensive array with full force and immediately request support from our family!” An Elder at the 9th layer of Qi Refinement ordered.
“And, destroy this puppet beast!”
Outside Spirit Ore Mountain.
The puppet beast avatar watched as one formation after another was activated
above, feeling slightly relieved, “These are just ordinary second order
lower-grade formations, they can defend against early Foundation
Establishment realm attacks for a short time.”
If that is the case— Whoosh!
The puppet avatar rushed out from the darkness, just as those people within Spirit Ore Mountain were about to destroy the puppet beast, it struck the barrier of the protective array with one claw.
“Crack! ”
“Boom!”
Just like a fragile glass bubble.
With one stroke, the defensive array was shattered.
In that instant, all the Bail s cultivators from Maple City instinctively felt danger approaching. That chilling, deathlike aura gave everyone an overwhelming sense of suffocation, even the Bai Family Elders at the 9th level of Qi Refinement were no exception.
The faces of the two Qi-Refinement-stage-9 cultivators changed drastically:
“Spare us, senior—
Before the forty-plus cultivators on Spirit Ore Mountain could react, the puppet avatar landed and lightly tapped the ground.
“Boom!”
The ground cracked, and an invisible force shook the area through the earth.
Layers of blood mist spurted out from the cultivators’ bodies, their bodies shattered like porcelain dolls, very fragile.
All bones were crushed, and internal organs were completely destroyed.
Then, they all fell to the ground.
Before long, the entire Spirit Ore Mountain was silent.
The puppet avatar’s dark eyes scanned all around, it slapped again, and the horrifying force of the second-order middle-grade puppet beast rippled, shattering all the bodies and eradicating any traces.
It retracted the first-tier, top-grade puppet beast and gathered all the Qiankun Bags together.
The puppet avatar habitually used mana to clean its aura, slapped an invisibility talisman and a breath-concealing talisman on its body, then fled tens of miles away, hiding in a valley between the Spirit Ore Mountain resource area and the 10 miles outside of Tan Mountain.
“I wonder if the Bai Family from Maple City will come to aid?” The puppet avatar looked towards Tian Mountain with a deep gaze, waiting for Bai Family’s response.
At this moment, on Tan Mountain.
The Bai Family’s newly promoted Foundation Establishment stage elder, Bai Mu, was discussing important family matters with the family head and other elders.
Their great ancestor of the Bai family was currently exploring opportunities with the Huang Family in the ruins of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate, and some spoils had already been sent back to the family.
Unfortunately, none of those opportunities could increase their family’s power in a short time..
