90: Chapter 90 The Grand Feast of the Purple Mansion, The Purple Mansion Attacks!
Chen Zhuxiao walked along, strolling among the flowers and plants. When he passed by the Spirit Medicine garden, he smelled a rich and fresh medicinal fragrance.
Inside, an old Cultivator was hoeing weeds with a hoe. Seeing him look over, the old man hurriedly put down the hoe and greeted him: "Young Master Zhu Xiao."
Chen Zhuxiao stopped, walked into the Spirit Medicine garden, chatted with Chen Wang for a good while, and then used Divine Thunder mana to cleanse his Physical Body, stimulating his blood and Qi, slightly slowing the rate of his physical decline.
"Thank you, Young Master Zhu Xiao."
Before long, Chen Zhuxiao's figure disappeared into the clouds and mist, entering the Back Mountain Cliff.
Yuan Feng, who was Cultivating on a large tree, opened his eyes. His deep voice resounded in Chen Zhuxiao's ears: "It is Zhu Xiao. Have you reached Foundation Establishment?"
"Greetings, Uncle Yuan." Chen Zhuxiao bowed, then straightened his back, his eyes bright: "I have yet to congratulate you, Uncle Yuan, on breaking through to Purple Mansion, becoming a Purple Mansion Demon King, and shaking Liyuan Commandery with your might."
Yuan Feng descended from the large tree. His six-zhang-tall demon body did not look particularly tall, but the terrifying Aura gathered around him caused the surrounding Void Realm to faintly distort. He stood like a majestic ancient sacred mountain, towering and vast, with boundless momentum.
"Zhu Xiao, once you break through to Purple Mansion, you will understand that Purple Mansion is nothing. Only by achieving Golden Core and becoming a True Monarch does one begin to have the ability to go from a pawn to a chess player."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhuxiao was slightly stunned, and his Divine Sense thoughts began to turn. With his intelligence, he could naturally understand the meaning behind Yuan Feng's words.
"Uncle Yuan, Zhu Xiao understands."
Yuan Feng nodded with satisfaction: "A child worth teaching."
Then, he changed the subject: "You have now broken through to Foundation Establishment, and your strength has greatly increased, but looking at you, you are already somewhat restless. You want to go down the mountain to gain experience, right?"
"Those who know me, Uncle Yuan does." Chen Zhuxiao took out vast thunder. In front of Yuan Feng, this Spiritual Artifact restrained all its sharpness and dared not display it.
He looked at vast thunder and said in a faint tone: "Uncle Yuan, you may not know, but I have been stuck at the Sword Intent Realm for too long, unable to break through to the Sword Intent Realm. In Zhu Xiao's view, this is due to a lack of life-and-death tempering. Therefore, Zhu Xiao wants to travel down the mountain to see if I can comprehend my own Sword Intent and live up to the name of a Sword Cultivator."
Yuan Feng sized up Chen Zhuxiao, feeling more gratified the more he looked: "Not bad, not bad. If your father had your ambition, that would be great. He has already reached Foundation Establishment, yet he doesn't know how to have more children to strengthen the Family."
Chen Zhuxiao felt somewhat ashamed. His father was currently busy to death, spending most of his time dealing with Chen Family affairs, with little time to spend with his mother.
Furthermore, Ji Wanqing was also dissatisfied with her own Realm and now spent the vast majority of her time in closed-door Cultivation, striving to break through to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible to enjoy a Lifespan of five sixty-year cycles.
Half an hour later, Chen Zhuxiao turned into a rainbow light and left Luoyun Mountain from the Back Mountain Cliff.
He wantonly released his Foundation Establishment level Aura, causing the many Qi Refining factions in Liming Town to feel fearful.
One must know that in the current Liming Town, apart from the Chen Family, there were no longer any large families with Foundation Establishment Cultivators, such as the Zhang and Tang families.
The Zhang Family had been wiped out by the Tang Family, while the Tang Family, fearing Yuan Feng's might, had run away early and their whereabouts were unknown.
It could be said that Liming Town now belonged to the Chen Family, this Purple Mansion clan guarded by a Purple Mansion Demon King.
If Chen Fufeng wanted to, he could completely move the Chen Family from Luoyun Mountain to the Liyuan Commandery city, sitting and watching the winds and clouds of the commandery rise and fall, chatting and laughing with the leaders of various Purple Mansion Factions.
However, Chen Fufeng thought about it and decided against it. There was no need. Once Luoyun Mountain advanced and transformed into a blessed land, they could completely use Luoyun Mountain as the center and gradually expand outward to form a large town.
Before long, Chen Zhuxiao arrived at the Liming Market. Since the Zhang and Tang families were gone, this market had lost more than half of its guards, and order was somewhat chaotic.
He had come this time to clear out the Liming Market and then discuss the relocation with the various shops within the Liming Market.
Before he came, Chen Fufeng had told him about the vision of expanding Luoyun City and building it into the largest trading market among the dozen surrounding towns.
As for the Liming Market, it would be merged into the Luoyun Market, and the corresponding stall fees would be fully collected by the Chen Family.
Two and a half hours later, Chen Zhuxiao's Aura was sharp, his clothes unstained by blood, and he turned into a thunder light that soared into the sky, leaving the Liming Market.
The group of Cultivators who were causing trouble in the market were all beheaded by him, including a Great Cultivator at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment, who was beheaded by him in three sword strikes, his immortal foundation shattered, and he died on the spot.
From then on, the Liming Market returned to peace, but under the surface, there were undercurrents surging.
Because Chen Zhuxiao had already explained the Chen Family's ideas to the shops in the market. As for whether they were willing to relocate, it was entirely up to them; the Chen Family would not force them.
Seven days later, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion of Liming Town made a high-profile entry into the Luoyun Market. At the same time, they contributed effort and invited many architects to expand Luoyun City to a radius of several hundred miles, occupying almost half of Liming Town.
Seeing this, the other shops responded one after another and all entered the Luoyun Market, just to seize the first Opportunity.
Even shops in other towns made their choices and decided to move to the Luoyun Market.
They valued the Chen Family's might. With a powerful Purple Mansion Demon King sitting in charge, the Luoyun Market could even conduct Purple Mansion level business, and no one without eyes would dare to cause trouble below the Purple Mansion level.
In time, the Luoyun Market would be a large market second only to the commandery city market, and the income would definitely be considerable. Opportunities should not be missed, and by entering early, they could make money earlier.
These days, in addition to being busy with the expansion of Luoyun City and the expansion of the Luoyun Market, the Chen Family was also busy organizing the Purple Mansion Grand Banquet.
In the past, whenever a Family produced a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, they would have to make a big show of it, holding a banquet and inviting various families to attend, in order to boost the Family's prestige.
Now, the Chen Family had produced a Purple Mansion Demon King, and a peerless existence who had killed a Purple Mansion True Person at that. Even if they were low-key, the reputation had spread.
Therefore, Chen Fufeng thought about it and decided to hold a Purple Mansion Grand Banquet.
As for the expenses, the Chen Family had obtained resources gifted by the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and the Great Qi Imperial Family, and with a large Family and enterprise, they were not short of this bit.
On the contrary, holding a banquet could also help get to know the various families, which would make things easier in the future.
Just like that, every part of Luoyun Mountain was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, a scene of peace and liveliness.
Half a month later, rays of rainbow light flew in from all directions. None were below the Foundation Establishment level, and they all came to congratulate Yuan Feng on his Breakthrough to Purple Mansion.
Several major Purple Mansion Factions in Liyuan Commandery sent people to attend the banquet, all of whom were Foundation Establishment Peak Great Cultivators, to show their Family's status.
The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion also sent someone, the Purple Mansion Cultivator True Person Shaking Heavens, which truly made the jaws of the various factions drop.
They did not expect the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to value Yuan Feng so much, even sending a Purple Mansion True Person to congratulate him.
At the banquet, Yuan Feng appeared in person. The dignity of a Purple Mansion Demon King swept across the entire Luoyun Mountain, and even the Foundation Establishment Peak Great Cultivators of the major factions trembled under this dignity.
"So strong. It hasn't been long since it broke through to Purple Mansion, why is it so strong? This gives me a feeling that it is not inferior to the Old Ancestor, and even exceeds it!" Gu Mingxiu was surprised inwardly. One must know that the Old Ancestor he mentioned was the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Guiyuan Sect, a Purple Mansion True Person with three Divine Abilities.
Lin Nichan of the Heavenly Lotus Sect sat with him, also shocked by the might displayed by Yuan Feng: "Not simple, amazing. This Dou Zhan Demon King is definitely an old monster, at least a Purple Mansion Demon King with three Divine Abilities. Even if the Qian Family Old Ancestor took action personally, I am afraid he would be beaten to death by this one!"
The Heavenly Lotus Sect had a Cultivation Technique called Heavenly Lotus Induction, which could greatly enhance a Cultivator's sensing ability after Cultivation.
Therefore, in terms of perception, she was much stronger than Gu Mingxiu and could feel Yuan Feng's strength and terror even more.
"No, I must tell the Sect Master when I go back. We must be on good terms with this Chen Family and must not be enemies with them." Lin Nichan's willow eyebrows moved slightly, and she quickly made a decision.
In her view, this Dou Zhan Demon King Yuan Feng might be able to break through to the Five Dharma Manifestations Realm in the future and become a Great Demon King.
If his luck and Opportunity were sufficient, there was even a possibility of breaking through to the Golden Core Demon Monarch Realm, comparable to a True Monarch. He must absolutely not be an enemy, otherwise, it would be a disaster for the Heavenly Lotus Sect!
Yuan Feng did not care about all that. He was actually too lazy to hold any Purple Mansion banquet; it was purely a waste of time.
However, in order to boost the Chen Family's prestige and also to get to know the various forces, he agreed to it.
When the banquet was halfway through and the atmosphere was brought to a climax, a representative of a Foundation Establishment faction stood up and bowed respectfully: "I am Wu Mochou of the Wu Family in Liyuan Commandery, at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. I heard that the Chen Family's Qilin Son, Chen Zhuxiao, is a Cultivator of the Divine Thunder Path with extraordinary combat power. I wonder if I can spar with you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people from various families in the venue were different, and they all looked up, waiting for Yuan Feng to make a decision.
Yuan Feng raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Wu Mochou, making the latter feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, thinking for a moment that he was going to die.
"Zhu Xiao, handle it yourself."
Chen Zhuxiao stood up, like an unsheathed sharp sword, filled with Killing Intent and sharp edge.
"Uncle Yuan, Zhu Xiao is willing to fight him, but I have one request." He stared at Wu Mochou, Killing Intent blooming in his eyes, "In this Dou Zhan, life and death do not matter!"
As the words fell, the atmosphere in the venue was instantly ignited.
True Person Shaking Heavens, who was sitting beside Yuan Feng, said happily: "A Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator who practices a fourth-grade Cultivation Technique, even if he has some means, will not be Chen Zhuxiao's opponent. Brother Yuan, am I right?"
Yuan Feng looked at him and said plainly: "I actually hope that the Xuan Yuan Sect can send a few people to see whether the disciples of the Golden Core Upper Sect are stronger, or the disciples of my Chen Family are stronger."
Just as the two Purple Mansion Cultivators were talking, Wu Mochou bit the bullet and agreed.
The two walked out of the hall, their figures soaring into the air, separated by a hundred zhang, facing each other from afar.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu Xiao, please!" Wu Mochou's body was tense, his mana secretly operating, preparing to strike with the momentum of thunder to catch the opponent off guard.
Just as the words fell, Chen Zhuxiao pointed like a sword, like a thunder pool surging. Thunder light covered his body, and Divine Thunder mana was as vast as a vast ocean.
Boom!
He used his finger as a sword, and a hundred-zhang sword light slashed down in an instant, many times faster than the so-called speed of sound, so fast that Wu Mochou could not react.
Pfft!
An arm flew away, thunder exploded, and the sound of thunder resounded through Luoyun Mountain. A blazing thunder light submerged where Wu Mochou was, as if destroying all things, extremely terrifying.
Wu Mochou only had his left hand left, his whole body was torn and bloody, with scorched marks everywhere. His mana and Spiritual Artifact could not resist the attack of the thunder light at all, like paper.
Chen Zhuxiao did not give him time to breathe. His spirit and energy gathered, highly concentrated, and he slashed out another hundred-zhang sword light again, like a thunder river falling from the sky, illuminating the whole sky, with majestic Divine Might!
"Ahhh!"
Wu Mochou screamed, sacrificed a small earthy yellow seal, which turned large in an instant, hung above his head, and dropped down Thick Earth mana like a waterfall, protecting him.
He was a Cultivator of the Thick Earth path and was good at defense. If the Divine Thunder had not been too fast, he would definitely have been able to react and use corresponding defensive means.
Boom!
The small mountain-like earthy yellow seal vibrated unceasingly, and the protection formed was blasted open by the thunder. The sharp Sword Qi carrying thunder light rushed in, beating Wu Mochou's body into a sieve, blood flowing directly.
Chen Zhuxiao's eyes shot out two shocking thunder lights, his body was boiling with thunder light, and the thunder pool in his body surged. Lightning flashed and thunder rolled, and lightning bolts as thick as pillars kept striking down, fully displaying the might of heaven!
He stretched out his right hand, his five fingers spread, and the azure blue lightning winding like a dragon and snake lingered on it, causing the Void Realm to distort for a while, and he slapped it towards the front.
Rumble!
Lightning bolts as thick as buckets struck down, densely packed, covering Wu Mochou's figure. The sound of thunder was constant and deafening.
A moment later, the lightning dissipated, leaving only a broken pitch-black small seal and a black Storage Ring. The owner was nowhere to be seen, having turned into fly ash.
Just as Chen Zhuxiao was preparing to return to the hall, several figures arrived outside Luoyun Mountain. The leader had a strong Aura, and the Purple Mansion energy swept across the entire Liming Town.
"Taiyuan Sect of Guangze Prefecture, come to congratulate the Dou Zhan Demon King!"
As he spoke, a crystal blue giant hand covering Luoyun Mountain manifested in the air, cracking the sky, and grabbed towards Luoyun Mountain.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Killing Intent shot from Yuan Feng's eyes. He took a step forward and threw a punch at the giant hand that was slapping down, causing it to shatter into pieces and collapse in mid-air.
"You Taiyuan Sect, do you want to be exterminated?!"
Two brilliant beams of light shot from Yuan Feng's eyes, locking onto the person who attacked. Boundless Killing Intent impacted the ten directions, and a fist mark broke through the Void Realm, like a True Dragon going out to sea, knocking him away for a thousand miles.
The Size As Desired Divine Ability was activated. A Black Ape of several thousand zhang stood tall, and the blood energy like a large mountain formed a pillar of heaven that penetrated the sky, swaying the Great Void.
The pupils of the person who attacked contracted violently. If it were not for returning the favor to the Xuan Yuan Sect, why would he have attacked the Chen Family?
But now it was too late to regret. Since he had attacked, there was no reason to retreat!
"ren water Divine Ability, Heavenly River!"
