Suddenly, Bai Mu’s brows furrowed as he looked towards the Spiritual Mountain, detecting an unusual fluctuation in nature’s spiritual energy and vibration from that direction. His spiritual senses, being in the Foundation Establishment Realm, were much stronger than those in the Qi Refinement Realm.
Seeing this, the Bai Family Head and others were surprised. “Ancestor, what’s wrong?” they asked.
Bai Mu felt a vague sense of unease, his eyelids began to twitch anxiously. “It seems something’s happened at the Spiritual Mountain, I have a feeling of unease,” he said.
The Bai Family’s head and the Elders’ expressions changed dramatically upon hearing this.
“Has something happened to the mine again?”
“Ancestor, could it be the Chen Family and Su Family?”
“Damn, how dare they lay hands on our family again!”
“Ancestor, both Third Elder and Fifth Elder are in the mine, and there are dozens of other family cultivators there too. If something really has happened, we can’t just ignore it!”
Each of them had their own opinions. Some were cursing and infuriated; others were restless and anxious.
The Bai Family Head’s expression kept changing. After a while, he exclaimed, “Shut up, all of you.”
“If the Su Family and Chen Family really did attack the mine, what if they set a trap to ambush us? How would we respond?”
“Keep in mind, our ancestors are not with the family now. If there were any mishap, our Bai Family would face annihilation!”
Bai Mu remained silent with a grim expression.
Inside, however, he appreciated the Family Head’s words, breathing a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the Family Head helped him out of this dilemma.
Otherwise, he would be trapped by the demands of the elders. Should he go and provide support?
If he did, to be honest, having just broken through to the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he was somewhat afraid of death.
But if he refused to go and provide support, his reputation in the family as the newly appointed Bai family ancestor would be gone, and people would only remember him as a ‘coward’.
Fortunately, the Family Head’s reprimanding was timely and apt.
The elders’ expressions changed, and the senior most Elder with white hair said in a low voice, “So, Family Head, what should we do? Are we just going to stand by and watch if something does happen to the mine and disregard Third Elder and Fifth Elder?”
The Bai Family’s Head gritted his teeth, “We’re not ignoring it!”
“Spread the order, seal off the family’s mountain, and activate the entire Mountain Protection Array!”
“Dispatch a few people to investigate the situation at the mine!”
“Once we have clear information, if it is really the Chen Family and the Su
Family causing trouble, then we will contact the observer, and ask the Huang
Family or even the Jiang Family to come over!”
“At that time, we’ll settle old and new scores together!”
Only then did Bai Mu speak to finalize the plan. “So be it, Family Head, go make arrangements.”
The few elders felt uneasy. Ever since the Chen Family and Su Family jointly seized the Spiritual Mountain, they had never underestimated these two families, they even felt some trepidation and fear.
Now hearing the Family Head’s arrangements and Bai Mu’s agreement they naturally set off obediently.
Buzz!
Soon after.
The defensive array on the Tan Mountain activated layer by layer. The protective shield illuminates the sky, visible from miles away.
At the same time, several cultivators in the middle stage of Qi Refinement quietly left Tan Mountain and went to investigate the situation at the Spiritual Mountain.
Inside the valley.
The Dao Body puppet looked at the Tan Mountain’s Mountain Protection Array activation and his heart stirred slightly. “Just a second-grade defensive array?”
If that’s the case, then—
In the middle of his thoughts, the Dao Body Puppet had transformed into a Dragon Crocodile Puppet Beast and silently charged towards Bai Family’s Tan Mountain.
Under the cover of darkness.
A few cultivators, each carrying an invisibility talisman and quieting talisman, walked out of the dense forest towards the Spiritual Mountain.
But they had only walked a few miles when a shadow flashed across the darkness.
“Plop!”
Their heads exploded like ripe watermelons. Following this were their bodies which didn’t even withstand the powerful shockwave sweeping across them. Their bodies instantly burst into a cloud of blood mist and disappeared.
“Bang!”
“Whoosh!”
A dull sound echoed, followed by a breeze that blew the blood mist away in an instant.
The dense forest fell silent, as if nothing had happened at all.
The dark silhouette didn’t pause for a moment, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
A short while later.
Outside Tan Mountain.
The puppet clone looked up at the barrier of Mountain Protection Array shielding the entire Spiritual mountain. In a thought, a symbolic charm flew out from his Qiankun Bag, accompanied by the infusion of power to activate it, he lightly waved his hand, aiming the charm towards the barrier in front of him.
It was the second level middle-grade breach charm previously created by Su
Now, it could finally be used!
Whoosh!
The breach charm turned into a light in the air and hit the barrier in front of him in an instant.
With a brilliant flash, the special power made the second level middle-grade Mountain Protection Array barrier ripple like raging waves. A small part of the formation node crumbled under the special power of the breach charm.
Seeing this, the puppet clone had another thought, and another second level middle-grade breach charm appeared.
Whoosh!
“Boom!”
After the impact of the two second level middle-grade breach charms, the barrier of Tan Mountain’s Mountain Protection Array finally broke.
“Has it broken?” The puppet clone smirked, revealing its terrifying fangs glistening with a cold glow.
He then raised his claw, a horrifying energy gathered, and he ruthlessly slapped towards the Spiritual Mountain in front.
“BOOM! ”
The earth shattered, the whole Tan Mountain shook, horrific crevices extended from under the puppet clone’s claw, as though the entire mountain would collapse and be destroyed from this one claw.
On Tan Mountain.
One after another, buildings collapsed into ruins, and many Bai Family cultivators were buried underneath.
Screams carried out.
Having just returned to his courtyard, Bai Mu, who was slightly relieved with the activation of the Mountain Protection Array, suddenly changed color when he looked up and saw the barrier of the Mountain Protection Array breaking instantly.
Bai Mu cried in horror, “It’s broken?! How could that be?”
This is the second level middle-grade Mountain Protection Array!
Even if a powerful attacker from the fifth or sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm came, they could hold on for a long time!
But now, the Mountain Protection Array was breached in a flash.
Bai Mu was a bit dazed.
Who on earth is this? When did their Bai Family offend such a terrifying enemy?
This definitely wasn’t the Su Family or the Chen Family, he understood their capabilities.
“Whoosh!”
At this moment, a terrifying aura attacked from the foot of the mountain, just in an eyeblink, Bai Mu saw the figure rushing towards them. It was as tall as six meters, appeared like a crocodile standing upright.
But it was much scarier than a crocodile, like a fierce dragon, its claws were long and flexible, and it had a spine-chilling tail.
Of course, these weren’t the main points.
What mattered was, the chilling and ferocious aura of Evil Qi was so intimidating that Bai Mu felt a sense of suffocation instantly.
The stench of death made Bai Mu’s mind go blank, his body instinctively shivering.
It wasn’t until the moment the puppet clone’s claw struck, Bai Mu came back to his senses, his face rapidly changed as he cast layers of earth shield in front of him. At the same time, all the armor talismans on him were activated as well.
“Earth Escape Skill!”
The soil under Bai Mu’s feet turned into a whirlpool, as he disappeared into the ground.
However, just as Bai Mu disappeared into the ground, the puppet clone had already shattered all the earth shields and descended onto the ground.
Bai Mu only felt a hard blow on his back before he lost consciousness:
“Boom!”
In an instant, all the soil within a hundred feet of that area collapsed, forming a massive paw print deeply imprinted into the ground. Blood seeped out from the surface of the soil, and the entire Tan Mountain experienced another collapse under this blow.
The aura of Bai Mu vanished, merging with the earth.
This newly promoted ancestor of the Bai Family, was completely wiped out..
