Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 742: Chapter 300: Betrayal, Old Friends, Hidden Secrets (Ten-Thousand-Word Combo Chapter)

Their footsteps intertwined, creating ripples of mana. The three took mystical steps around him as the center, channeling a wondrous force onto the Third Elder, whose aura rapidly climbed to the peak of the Purple Mansion.

Meanwhile, within the Array Hall, the Yinan Tribe’s Chieftain emerged with two Purple Mansion cultivators. Blood still stained the corner of the Yinan Chieftain’s mouth, a clear sign of the backlash suffered when the array was destroyed. His gaze burned with anger and determination, fixated on the Celestial Woe Tribe.

Seeing that the Celestial Woe Tribe was about to fight to the death, the Yinan Chieftain immediately formed a hand seal with his right hand: "Form the array!"

Buzz!

The two Purple Mansion cultivators behind him stepped in intricate movements.

Their figures danced like butterflies, but each step carried immense mana. The marks on their foreheads lit up with dazzling white light, which fell onto the Yinan Chieftain with a buzz! His aura too surged instantly to the peak of the Purple Mansion.

The Yinan Chieftain raised his hand in a palm strike, his hand enlarging instantly, like a small mountain, surging with howling wind towards the Third Elder.

The Third Elder was not to be outdone. He shouted, quickly forming a hand seal, and a massive barrier of mana appeared before him. He also launched a palm strike.

Boom!

Two forces collided, like two planets crashing into each other.

The powerful impact spread in all directions, instantly demolishing the surrounding buildings, with stones and wood chips flying everywhere.

Both were knocked back, with one arm of a Yinan Tribe Elder being directly blown off, spraying blood from the severed section.

On the other side, the Third Elder was also not in good shape; his face was pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Both parties were locked in an intense, evenly matched battle.

The Yinan Chieftain flickered forward, charging once more towards the Third Elder, a long sword now in hand. The sword’s blade glimmered with a cold light, as countless sword shadows, each containing immense mana, rained down upon the Third Elder.

The Third Elder swiftly formed hand seals, creating rune patterns before him that combined into a shield. The sword shadows collided with the shield, making clanging sounds and sparking trails of fire.

Two Purple Mansion cultivators behind the Third Elder joined the battle, each wielding their spiritual artifacts: a gigantic hammer and a long chain. The hammer, brimming with immense force, smashed towards one Yinan Purple Mansion cultivator, while the chain coiled like a spiritual snake towards another.

The two Yinan Purple Mansion cultivators were not to be outdone, each brandishing their magic and spiritual artifacts in response. For a moment, the brilliance of spiritual artifacts and the radiance of spells intertwined, lighting up the night sky.

...

As everyone focused on the Purple Mansion battles.

The three corpses of the Celestial Woe Chieftain, Grand Elder, and Fifth Elder, once fallen, vanished without a trace, and even the severed arm of the Yinan Chieftain had disappeared.

In an instant, in front of the Chieftain’s Mansion,

A man identical to the Yinan Chieftain appeared.

The guards at the gate paused, looking at the Yinan Chieftain before them, and then at the one fighting in the sky, instinctively blocking the way, hesitating: "Chieftain?!"

"This is my Clone Technique, no need to panic, swiftly open the manor gates." This was none other than Fu Changsheng, who had used the Thousand Faces Technique.

Fu Changsheng coldly glared at the guard, the pressure of the Cyan Flood Dragon Purple Mansion looming around, pressing onto the guard’s shoulders.

At this, the guard quickly picked up the Jade Talisman, and cast a technique upon the Passage Jade Talisman.

Buzz! The Passage Jade Talisman emitted a dazzling spirit light that fell onto the door behind, the array light curtain opened, and Fu Changsheng’s figure swiftly flashed inside the Chieftain’s Mansion.

According to intelligence, the Secret Chamber storing the Soul-Attracting Pill recipe was located in the Chieftain’s concubine’s chamber.

Fu Changsheng swept into the backyard like the wind. Due to the ongoing chaos at the Chieftain’s Mansion, servants ran frantically in panic. Fu Changsheng, shrouded by the Smoke Mist Illusion, remained unseen, swiftly dashing into the Peony Garden in the backyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, he collided with the Yinan Chieftain’s concubine, Celestial Sound Fairy.

Her gaze landed on Fu Changsheng, quickly glancing at the Yinan Chieftain battling in the sky. Her eyes shifted, realizing the situation. Initially intending to feign ignorance, she noticed the Cyan Flood Dragon in Fu Changsheng’s embrace, gleaming with a cyan light, its tail poised to strike her.

"Spare me, fellow Daoist; without me, there’s no way you can access the Chieftain’s Secret Chamber!" Identified in an instant.

Observing Celestial Sound Fairy’s attire as a Great Zhou Cultivator. During his time at the Yinan Tribe, he had vaguely learned that this Celestial Sound Fairy was a female cultivator captured from the Great Zhou by the Yinan Chieftain, held captive at the Chieftain’s Mansion, never setting foot outside.

According to intelligence, entering the Chieftain’s Mansion’s Secret Chamber required the Chief Token. He originally planned to forcibly breach it with the Cyan Flood Dragon and Four-winged Red Python, both being Purple Mansion powers. Having a guide was ideal:

"Lead the way!"

Fu Changsheng wasted no words.

Celestial Sound Fairy, having narrowly clung to her life, quickly curtsied in greeting:

"Fellow Daoist, I am the second daughter of the Patriarch of the Seventh-Grade Luo Family from Jingzhou, and my elder sister is a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion. Please, when you depart, take me with you. Once back in Great Zhou, our Luo Family will surely reward you handsomely!!"

Luo Family people?! Fu Changsheng was momentarily stunned, taking a closer look, indeed finding Celestial Sound Fairy somewhat resembling Luo Haitang.
