39: Foundation Weapons

Yu Ping felt like he was poor yet using Family assets to make connections…

Tang Tian said, "The original price is fine."

He had already been given this storage ring.

Yu Ping said, "Brother Liu, don't be so polite with me. My Yu Family will just get me another one anyway."

Tang Tian left with the storage ring.

Yu Ping peeked his head out, opened the door, and after Tang Tian left, he closed the door, looking at the pile of medicinal herbs with delight.

He quickly contacted the Yu Family Cultivator to use up this batch of medicinal materials…

Both sides felt they had made a huge profit…

Tang Tian left but was stopped by the Liu Family Head, Liu Yu:

"Liu Tian… why are you here? Are things done…?"

Tang Tian wondered if he hadn't shown his face.

It seemed he had said he left because of Family matters.

Tang Tian said with a sigh, "Thanks to Liu Family Head's concern, the matter is concluded. I didn't expect it to take a month."

Liu Yu said, "Haha, you are a Body Refinement Cultivator, and I am very interested in you."

"Since you are now a member of my Liu Family, come to my Liu Family for a discussion."

Tang Tian didn't believe it was a coincidence and asked, "I wonder what matter Liu Family Head encountered here?"

Liu Yu said, "Alas, those Loose Cultivators… even some small Family disciples came to join the fun."

"They haven't returned, and now over seventy small Families have united to attack my Liu Family… The County Magistrate also wants to know what treasures are in that Secret Realm."

"The two sides united, even trying to swallow the assets of my Liu and Yu Families."

Tang Tian was shocked and said, "The County Magistrate is a strong Cultivator at the Lianqi Sixth Level."

Liu Yu said with a gloomy expression, "Hmph, offending my Liu Family means nothing. My Liu Family has a Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor! Even a Lianqi Seventh Level can be killed!"

He said this to Tang Tian, fearing that Tang Tian would tell the County Magistrate what happened inside.

Tang Tian was the biggest variable. Seeing that this person hadn't returned for three days, and then dozens of Families united, they wanted to kill him.

However, after a second thought, he felt it was impossible; no one could catch him if he could escape from the Immortal Cave.

But there was still suspicion.

He hadn't expected to run into Tang Tian today, just when he was about to discuss with the Yu Family Head, Yu Xu.

As for why he recognized him, he was the only one so short at Qi Refining stage, 3rd level.

Tang Tian said, "The County Magistrate dares to be so… Liu Family Head, let me go kill someone from the County Magistrate's office! To vent the Liu Family's anger…"

Liu Yu said, "Good, I'll wait for you here!"

The gloom in his eyes deepened.

In the distance, a group of county soldiers were patrolling, with Lian Qi Second Layer cultivation.

A Liu Family member nearby said, "Clan Chief, this Liu Tian is only at Qi Refining stage, 3rd level, can he do it?"

Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "A Body Refinement Cultivator is not an ordinary person."

The county soldiers were just killing a beggar, some using low-grade control techniques to control him.

Tang Tian shouted, "I am Liu Tian of the Liu Family… Today, I will kill you all…"

Seeing that Tang Tian had no weapon, Liu Yu threw a weapon over.

Tang Tian picked up the saber and started killing.

A county soldier couldn't dodge in time and was beheaded with one strike.

The county soldier said, "Body Refining!"

"No, is it that obvious?"

Tang Tian was puzzled, and those county soldiers fled in fear.

Liu Yu shouted, "Liu Family disciples, act!"

They were not going to let them go; all the soldiers present were killed.

The Yu Family Head, Yu Xu, came out and asked, "What happened?"

The Yu Family Head, Yu Xu, pushed open the door and walked out, his eyes still showing the joy of receiving the poisonous herbs from Tang Tian.

On the bluestone ground, Yu Xu's voice echoed, saying, "The government's county soldiers have been killed!"

"Now we're in a mess. Those seventy Families are not to be trifled with, and you've even made a move against the County Magistrate. How dare you!"

Liu Yu said, "My Liu Family and your Yu Family have shown sincerity in our cooperation. Your Yu Family should also show sincerity. Do you think the County Magistrate will let us go?"

Yu Xu hardened his heart and said, "Good, Yu Family disciples, kill for me!"

The black-clad Yu Family disciples behind him cut off the heads of several county soldiers and threw them at the entrance of the county office.

The County Magistrate roared, "Yu Family, do you think my cultivation is insufficient?! I will flatten the Liu and Yu Families within two days!"

Disciples from both sides fought… The County Magistrate left the city alone, and the three hundred soldiers of the county office were jointly annihilated by the Liu and Yu Family Heads…

Qingmu County was completely sealed off. All merchants dared not open their shops. No one knew the reason for falling out with the County Magistrate over this matter.

Everyone went to kill the County Magistrate's Family, only to find that they had already fled.

Tang Tian sighed, "What a pity."

However, the butler and maids were all killed, their heads piled up like a fortress.

The County Magistrate gathered those seventy dissatisfied small Cultivator Families… three hundred Cultivators from Qi Refining stage, 1st level to Qi Refining stage, 3rd level, and a thousand Qi Refining stage, 3rd level soldiers, swarming like ants towards Qingmu County City…

But they were repelled by the people the Liu and Yu Families had already prepared on the city walls.

The County Magistrate brought his 20,000 peasants from his farm, and those small Families also brought people, totaling 70,000!

Used to deplete the strength of the Liu and Yu Families, for every Poison Pill the Liu and Yu Families used, a hundred lives were lost.

Other forces stayed behind closed doors; they did not want to contend with the County Magistrate.

The Liu and Yu Family Heads… dismissed their entourages and discussed among themselves…

The Liu Family Head said, "If our Foundation Establishment Weapon is discovered, whether we succeed or fail, our entire Family will be massacred."

The Yu Family Head said, "My Yu Family Ancestor still has the ability to reach Foundation Establishment. You can lend your weapon to my Yu Family."

"My Liu Family still has some."

The two parted unhappily.

All Family disciples were summoned, and two withered old men in black robes meditated at the city gate…

They were the Liu Family Old Ancestor and the Yu Family Ancestor…

Liu Yu said, "Liu Tian, I see you are a Body Cultivator. Take this heavy sword to use."

After Liu Yu went out, he gave Tang Tian a heavy sword weighing four hundred catties.

He wanted to win over Tang Tian now.

Tang Tian said, "…Thank you, Liu Clan Chief…"

Below the battlefield, blood permeated, and bones were like water. Although the crops were not taken out, they wanted to float out and absorb all this blood.

The shock and killing reached the heavens, but the Liu and Yu Families had deep foundations; how could they be exhausted?

One thousand three hundred Cultivators waited outside.

Their Mortals were all branded and fearless of death; the Mortals of the Liu and Yu Families were also pulled out.

The Mortals of the Liu and Yu Families were not easy to acquire. Tang Tian was shocked by the decisiveness of the two Families.

One by one, they fought with blades, the Cultivators remained still. This was the painstaking effort of dozens of Families over decades.

The County Magistrate had served here for ten years, and all the Mortals he had raised were gone.

Until the piles of blood were as high as the city, the Cultivators from both sides moved.

Liu Yu said, "Liu Family disciples! Kill!"

The seventy small Families were red-eyed with killing. Their foundations were all gone. If they couldn't massacre the Liu Family, it was better to die now.

Those Families said, "If we succeed, we become a second-rate Family… If not, we can only fight to the death! If we fail, we will kneel and thank our ancestors…"

Those people were all related by kinship; if one died, the other became even more frantic…

Although a Family only had three to five Cultivators, they were even more insane, using their own deaths as a stepping stone for their Family's advancement.

Tang Tian was horrified. It was his first time seeing such a grand scene. Was Family truly that important?

The Yu Family released all kinds of pills, but Qi Refining Cultivators could only engage in close combat. These two Families, the top Families in Qingmu County, had five hundred Cultivators each from Qi Refining stage, 3rd level to Qi Refining stage, 1st level, possessing strong power.

They held Magical Artifacts that those small Families had never seen and fought them.

Tang Tian felt no pity; both sides had climbed to their positions over the bones of thousands.

Tang Tian brought down his heavy sword.

People around him said, "Body Refinement Cultivator, quickly kill him!"

People around him jointly attacked Tang Tian.

Tang Tian killed several Qi Refining stage, 3rd level Cultivators, then pretended to be caught in the battle.

He finally understood why Qingmu County had a mass grave; so that's how it was.

Tang Tian pretended to be no match, but also capable of fighting, which was actually like playing a game.

He just occasionally dodged stray arrows to avoid giving himself away…

The Old Ancestors of the Liu and Yu Families also abandoned all pretense, entering the battlefield and killing indiscriminately.

They stood in the Void Realm, one step, one death… but unfortunately, their strength was waning…
