61: Build the foundation and encircle the Liu family!

"Yes."

Tang Tian went to Qingmu County, and Yu Ping returned, spreading the news of the Liu Family's massacre in the Panya Secret Realm.

After all, it couldn't be hidden.

Within just a few hours, the Families who found their juniors hadn't returned became aware.

One by one, they were enraged, but since the Liu Family had a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they prepared a collective Crusade.

After all, they didn't know the Foundation Establishment Cultivator was dead.

If Yu Ping had known the Foundation Establishment Cultivator was dead, their Yu Family would have acted long ago.

In this Secret Realm, only Yu Ping survived, and Yu Ping erased Tang Tian's presence.

Among those Families, there were indeed vigorous Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but due to the alliance between the Liu Family and the Yu Family, they feared losses.

When they heard that the Yu Family was also attacking the Liu Family, they all mobilized, fearing to be left behind…

As soon as Tang Tian entered Qingmu County, Yu Ping grabbed him.

Yu Ping had been waiting for a long time.

Yu Ping said,

"Brother Liu, thank you for this time. Now that the Liu Family is gone, why don't you join my Yu Family?"

Tang Tian nodded silently and said,

"Thank you for your trouble."

He was suspicious in his heart; it was a Foundation Establishment Family, yet it was gone so quickly.

The Yu Family forcefully attacked the Liu Family but couldn't break through. It turned out the Liu Family Old Ancestor had planned for exposure.

He left a large number of Foundation Establishment Realm Talismans for the Liu Family. The Liu Family, unaware that the Liu Family Old Ancestor was dead, resisted desperately with Golden Sword Talismans.

The entire Liu Family territory was a battlefield everywhere. The Liu Family's ordinary Talismans numbered in the hundreds of thousands.

Those Loose Cultivators, not understanding the situation, resisted along with the Liu Family.

Even if they knew, there was nothing they could do. The Liu Family had already formed alliances with them, and other forces wouldn't let them go.

The Yu Family Ancestor felt that a forceful attack was unwise because the Liu Family had offended too many people, and their Yu Family wouldn't dare to hold the territory even if they took it.

They waited for others to come over.

On this day, Qingmu County, Linmu County, and Shashi County, all three counties, were shaken, and the County Magistrate was overjoyed.

He borrowed troops from other forces, wanting a share in the encirclement and suppression. Those forces were all small forces.

Each Family could only send one or two Qi Refining stage, 1st level Cultivators.

As for seeking help from Jinque City? He hadn't worn his official's hat long enough.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators flew from behind Tang Tian…

"Move aside."

Behind them were Clan Chiefs at Lianqi Fifth Level and sixth level.

Tang Tian and Yu Ping hid to the side.

"These are?" Tang Tian asked in confusion.

Yu Ping explained,

"The Liu Family's Talisman reserves are too abundant; our Yu Family can't break through."

Tang Tian was startled. It would be great if he could take them, but alas, it wasn't something he could get involved with…

The fighting was so intense that many Cultivators ran out of the city gates. From numerous alleyways in the Liu Family, a large number of Talismans were unleashed.

These Foundation Establishment Cultivators didn't dare to use their full strength, which greatly hindered them. The Liu Family would unleash thousands of Talismans at once.

They would run out of Spiritual Qi after enduring a few times. If other Foundation Establishment Cultivators came, it wouldn't be good.

Moreover, many Foundation Establishment Cultivators were very old. The five Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Qingmu County, Linmu County, and Shashi County gathered their Clan members to discuss.

Four of these Foundation Establishment Cultivators were extremely old; they feared death even more.

The Yu Family was too aggressive; out of the two hundred new Cultivators they recruited, over a hundred died.

Even their corpses were burned to ash by Fireball Talismans in the alleys…

Yu Ping said,

"Sigh, no one knows when the Liu Family Old Ancestor will return, so the Old Ancestors don't dare to act."

Tang Tian wouldn't be foolish enough to tell them that the Liu Family Old Ancestor was already dead.

If a Foundation Establishment Cultivator died, Tang Tian would surely be soul-searched to find out where the ring fell.

He would only be asking for trouble.

Yu Ping said,

"It's a pity; my Yu Family has already lost many people."

"It's fine."

Tang Tian patted Yu Ping's shoulder.

Yu Ping said,

"Brother Yu, you saved my life this time. The Old Ancestor has already agreed to let you pay off those poisonous plants within a year.

"This is his reward for you."

Yu Ping naturally called Tang Tian "Brother Yu."

Tang Tian took the storage ring, which contained one thousand Spirit Stones and one thousand Gathering Qi Pills.

This Yu Family was quite generous.

Tang Tian said,

"No need. I'll pay them off today."

After all, if it dragged on for another year, the poisonous plants' Spiritual Qi would be too high, making them harder to fool…

The two took a long detour before reaching the Yu Family's station, where the battle on the Liu Family's side was intense.

The County Magistrate personally went into battle to seize items but was repelled by hundreds of Talismans and fled.

The battlefield fell into a stalemate. Those Foundation Establishment Cultivators wanted to find cannon fodder, but those Cultivators, knowing their fate, ran from outside the city into the forest.

Except for a few large Clans, Qingmu County had become an empty city.

Mid-level forces with some aspirations stayed here, but the Foundation Establishment Cultivators didn't dare to provoke public anger by making them cannon fodder.

Tang Tian was shocked by this scene. Originally, it was a one-sided defeat for the Liu Family, but they actually stabilized.

Dare to enter? Entering means death from hundreds of Talismans.

Even Tang Tian, if he encountered two or three thousand Talismans, would have to run.

Yu Ping said,

"Yu Tian, let's go see the Old Ancestor."

Tang Tian nodded.

At the Yu Family Ancestor's place, there were even more Yu Family members, and mechanisms were everywhere.

Those Poison Pills were embedded in the walls, not weak at all, probably all Profound Rank First Grade, deadly upon contact.

They met the Yu Family Ancestor.

The Yu Family Ancestor said,

"Yu Tian, you've come."

Tang Tian: …

The Yu Family Ancestor said,

"It's a good thing you're in Body Refining. That Liu Family truly deserves to die. As for those Spiritual Plants, you just need to pay them back within a year.

"By the way, my Yu Family has a few juniors, all at Qi Refining cultivation. You can choose one."

As soon as the Yu Family Ancestor finished speaking,

Yu Ping said,

"Choose my sister; my sister is beautiful. My younger sister is also good, with a petite figure."

The Yu Family Ancestor pondered and then said,

"Then choose Yu Ping's younger sister. Coincidentally, she's at Qi Refining stage, 1st level, and has a good Four Spiritual Root."

Tang Tian: …

No, are you questioning my height? If I were an adult, I'd definitely be a seven-foot man.

Tang Tian's face twitched under his mask.

Yu Ping asked,

"By the way, Brother Yu, I haven't seen your face yet."

Tang Tian was stunned. It seemed true; Tang Tian always wore a full black robe when he went down the mountain, and only a few people from the Liu Family had seen him.

Tang Tian pulled open his mask, revealing the heroic and resolute face of a middle-aged man.

The Yu Family Ancestor praised,

"Good, a dignified appearance."

Yu Ping said,

"Brother Yu, you look decent, suitable for my younger sister."

…

Seeing them straying further and further, Tang Tian said,

"Old Ancestor, I came today to return the poisonous plants. A one-month deadline means a one-month deadline."

He took out one hundred eighty-five shriveled poisonous plants.

The Yu Family Ancestor said,

"Not bad. If you want to learn Alchemy in the future, you can learn from Yu Su."

Tang Tian naturally didn't care.

Tang Tian couldn't bring himself to use those people for Alchemy; he had Big Yellow, and that was enough.

Tang Tian disliked the Yu Family greatly; only Yu Ping was somewhat decent…

After Tang Tian left, Yu Su asked,

"Old Ancestor, just let him go like that? Aren't you going to ask where those poisonous plants are?"

The Yu Family Ancestor said,

"No need. Once he develops a sense of belonging to my Yu Family in the future, he will naturally tell."

Sigh, I originally wanted to go to Jinque City to buy some Advanced Medicinal Pill formulas, but it seems there's no chance now.

Tang Tian was helpless.

However, having half of the Forging Soul Derived Bone felt even more profitable, and Tang Tian's spirits lifted again.

Since the Liu Family was preparing to re-explore the Secret Realm, would the Yu Family also go?

Tang Tian asked,

"Yu Ping, the Liu Family said they are going to re-explore the Secret Realm. Is your Yu Family going?"

Yu Ping said,

"Originally, if the Liu Family hadn't had this incident, it should have been tomorrow. Now it should be next month…"
