101: The arrangement of the Yu family ancestor

Yu Ping pulled Tang Tian over and said to him, "Brother Yu, you came just in time. The Murong Family's hidden weapons killed over thirty of our Yu Family members. If you had come with us then, you likely would have barely escaped."

Tang Tian asked in surprise, "Is the Murong Family that strong?"

Yu Ping nodded sadly and said, "Strong enough to fight our Yu Family."

After Yu Ping finished speaking, he didn't want to say anything more, and everyone walked in silence.

They soon returned to the Yu Family, where sounds of battle emanated from the front of the Yu Family compound.

Murong Qi was being blocked by the Foundation Establishment Third Level Cultivator that Tang Tian and his group had encountered at the Immortal Stone Hall Auction House.

Murong Qi angrily said, "Does Fellow Daoist intend to interfere in the dispute between me and the Yu Family?"

The Foundation Establishment Third Level Cultivator said, "I am from the Immortal Stone Hall Auction House in Jinque City. I promised Fellow Daoist Yu to guard his Yu Family for only three days. After three days, you may do as you please."

Murong Qi angrily said, "If I, a Foundation Establishment First Level Cultivator, fight to the death, you, a Foundation Establishment Third Level Cultivator, will also be severely wounded and on the verge of death."

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle. The enormous fluctuations directly destroyed one-fifth of the entire Yu Family, and the entire Qingmu County was also ruined beyond recognition.

The Foundation Establishment Third Level Cultivator took out five hundred Qi Training Ninth Level weapons and easily dealt with the situation.

Murong Qi also took out seven hundred Qi Refinement stage eight weapons. As Murong Qi brought out seven hundred Qi Refinement stage eight weapons, every move on the field became extremely perilous.

Murong Qi was an Artifact Refining Cultivator by origin, so it was normal for him to have many weapons.

The Foundation Establishment Third Level Cultivator said, "Since Fellow Daoist Murong is an Artifact Refining Cultivator by origin, why don't we sit down and have a good talk?"

Tang Tian was completely stunned by this scene. Was this the combat method of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?

It was completely different from the battles between Qi Training Cultivators. This fighting style was like two different species compared to Qi Training Cultivators.

Tang Tian muttered to himself, "A Foundation Establishment Cultivator is invincible."

The Yu Family Ancestor chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist, have you guarded my Yu Family well?"

The Foundation Establishment Third Level Cultivator said, "Don't worry, Old Yu, not a single person from your Yu Family has died. Look, the main person has arrived, so I won't fight anymore."

The Foundation Establishment Third Level Cultivator slowly retracted his weapons. Seeing this, Murong Qi charged towards the Yu Family Ancestor.

...

And that Foundation Establishment Third Level Cultivator actually left.

Murong Qi's seven hundred weapons attacked the Yu Family Ancestor, completely obscuring the sky.

The Yu Family Ancestor sneered and said, "Pill Furnace, rise!"

A giant cauldron flew out from within the Yu Family, a weapon at the Peak of Qi Training Ninth Level.

The Yu Family Ancestor had actually placed his weapon within the Family, making it a treasure that suppressed the Family!

The giant Pill Furnace was as large as the entire Qingmu County, and Tang Tian was utterly dumbfounded.

Was this still human power?

Tang Tian secretly thought, "Pill Furnace-type weapons can be infinitely magnified. As long as the material is good enough and the spiritual power is sufficient, they can expand infinitely. This Yu Family Ancestor is indeed an old-brand Foundation Establishment Cultivator; truly terrifying."

Everyone in Qingmu County watched this scene, each person's thoughts ranging from fear to jealousy.

Of course, those who could be jealous of this Pill Furnace were not ordinary people, such as the County Magistrate.

The County Magistrate of Qingmu County looked up sourly and said, "If it weren't for me serving as an official in another place, without the support of a Family, I would have long since annihilated your Yu Family! If the Yu Family can win, I'll help the Yu Family. If the Murong Family can win, I'll help the Murong Family."

...

That giant cauldron absorbed one hundred of Murong Qi's weapons and began refining them.

The Yu Family Ancestor chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Murong, your methods are not enough."

Murong Qi then launched all his remaining weapons at the Yu Family Ancestor's giant cauldron, saying, "What about these!"

Six hundred weapons all struck the giant cauldron, attempting to shatter the Yu Family Ancestor's giant cauldron.

The Yu Family Ancestor did not let him have his way, retracting the Medicine Cauldron. Both sides fought briefly before retreating.

Murong Qi said, "We'll see."

However, Murong Qi did not leave Qingmu County completely empty-handed. Before he arrived, he had directly slaughtered all of the Yu Family's shops in Qingmu County.

The Yu Family Ancestor said, "Let's return to the Yu Family. In addition, you Cultivators from the various Gang forces should set up camp at the Liu Family."

The Cultivators from the surrounding Gang forces showed bitter expressions. They already regretted participating in the conflict between the Yu Family and the Murong Family, two behemoths.

But they had no way out now and could only obey the Yu Family's command. After all, if the Murong Family were annihilated, their Gangs could also get a share.

Even if it was just a small portion of the Murong Family's gains, it would be enough for their Gangs' development for a hundred years.

As for the Yu Family's inner clan members, they entered the Yu Family with the Yu Family Ancestor.

Although the outside of the Yu Family was completely ruined, the Yu Family Ancestor instructed the Yu Family members to Cultivate, and it would be restored within five days.

The Yu Family Ancestor said, "Yu Tian, Yu Ping, Yu Xu, come in. I have something to discuss with you."

The Yu Family Ancestor dismissed the people around him and called Yu Tian, Yu Ping, and Yu Xu into a secret room.

The Yu Family Ancestor said, "We are now in a life-and-death situation with the Murong Family. We must find a way to disrupt the Murong Family's Spirit Stone supply and clip their wings.

"Yu Tian, the Murong Family has a secret route for transporting Spirit Stones in Jinque City. Go and intercept it. The Murong Family's caravan will return to Shashi County within these seven days. Find an opportunity to act."

Tang Tian secretly thought, "This sounds inspiring, but I hope I'm not the one going to hijack the Murong Family's caravan."

Tang Tian showed a bitter expression and said to the Yu Family Ancestor, "Yu Family Ancestor, what if Murong Qi of the Murong Family discovers it?"

The Yu Family Ancestor chuckled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. I will hold back the Murong Family when the time comes."

The Yu Family Ancestor said to Yu Xu, "Yu Xu, go and contact the other Foundation Establishment Families and other Gangs in Shashi County and Linmu County, and win them over."

Tang Tian was stunned after hearing this. If this matter was not handled well, it would lead to a large-scale war in all surrounding areas.

The Yu Family Ancestor said to Yu Ping, "Yu Ping, take people to eliminate all forces affiliated with the Murong Family. Murong Qi has been affected by my tracking spell. Once he moves, I will sense it, so you don't have to worry about him bullying you with his strength."

The Yu Family Ancestor assigned tasks to everyone, clearly treating the three of them as Yu Family members.

But Tang Tian was an outsider, and he felt speechless.

In this battle, being a leader was not good, but now the arrow was already on the string.

Unless Tang Tian didn't want a share of the Murong Family's gains and directly hid on Chi Daizi's mountain.

The three of them clasped their fists, indicating they accepted the tasks.

Walking out of the secret room, Tang Tian noticed Yu Ping was unhappy. Tang Tian asked, "Yu Ping, your task is the easiest, so why are you still unhappy?"

Yu Ping said, "Brother Yu, do you think eliminating the forces affiliated with the Murong Family just means killing ordinary Cultivators? The majority of those forces affiliated with the Murong Family are Mortal villages.

"Ninety percent of the hidden weapons sold by the Murong Family are refined by those Mortal forces. The Old Ancestor's meaning is for me to eliminate all those Mortal villages."

Tang Tian was stunned after hearing this and said, "How could it be so cruel...?"
