63: The Liu family, destroyed!

The Liu Family's talismans were numerous, and they had been continuously deployed for a month, only now showing fatigue.

It was only within these two days that the Liu Family was breached.

The inner and outer defenses of the Liu Family were in ruins.

They were making a last stand on the core mountain...

Tang Tian said,

"The Liu Family is really resilient."

Tang Tian walked down the street wearing Yu Family clothes, and no one dared to block him; after all, the Yu Family Ancestor was not a benevolent person.

The entire Qingmu County was covered in a layer of ash, and aside from the Liu Family's area, there was no sound elsewhere.

Unexpectedly, the Liu Family could still hold on to this extent.

Now, the core forces from the periphery have finally mobilized.

They kicked aside the inconvenient cannon fodder, rushed through the broken Formation, and stormed into the Liu Family.

Seeing this scene, Tang Tian sighed,

"To have fought to this point, it's truly tragic."

But even so, the Liu Family still had talismans.

Those who charged were killed by a large number of Fireball Talismans, with only a few managing to retreat.

Tang Tian watched from a distance, then arrived at the Yu Family's encampment.

Yu Ping was nowhere to be found, and the Yu Family Head, Yu Xu, was giving commands. With several Foundation Establishment Cultivators in agreement, the final decisive battle was about to begin.

Tang Tian was pleasantly surprised; he had arrived just in time for this.

Yu Xu said,

"Fellow Yu Family Disciples, be sharp later. Follow me and charge! Let's seize the Spirit Stones first, and we can discuss other things later."

Tang Tian: ...

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators threw a few talismans, and the remaining Cultivators charged, climbing up the mountain one by one.

Fireball Talismans, Ice Cone Talismans, Armor-Piercing Talismans...

Various talismans were thrown down by them. The Liu Family, having fought until now, had only lost fewer than thirty Cultivators.

However, with these tens of thousands of talismans thrown down, nearly a fifth of the Cultivators were dead.

Tang Tian carefully dodged, and with Yu Xu's support, the Yu Family suffered very few casualties.

Finally, the Liu Family's talismans ran out, and the observing forces no longer hesitated, moving instantly.

Tang Tian sighed inwardly,

"It's going to end."

The County Magistrate even charged at the forefront, killing anyone who dared to block him.

All the Foundation Establishment Cultivators also moved, five auras soaring into the sky, rushing towards various parts of the Liu Family.

Short blades clashed as the Liu Family Cultivators fought to the death with them. The Liu Family's female relatives gathered on a high platform.

They committed suicide by fire, calmly facing death. This was the spirit of a Foundation Establishment Family.

No one paid attention to them. The County Magistrate's side was a hollowed-out area; he rushed into a house and collected a pile of Spirit Stones.

He then slaughtered the Cultivators behind him who had taken the wrong path, leaving blood flowing everywhere.

Basically, if those forces dared to come to the places chosen by certain families, they would die.

...

The Yu Family allocated one room to Tang Tian. Although Yu Xu was annoyed that this kid, Tang Tian, was coming to reap the rewards now,

he was still a Yu Family member, so there was nothing he could do.

In front of a house, with people following behind him, Tang Tian stood holding his sword.

Tang Tian said,

"Dare to come, and you die."

The released Qi Refining Third Layer aura made some Cultivators hesitate.

Several Liu Family female relatives who hadn't yet died looked at Tang Tian in horror.

Tang Tian said,

"Commit suicide."

Tang Tian threw a torch to them, preventing the Cultivators behind him, whose eyes were gleaming, from entering.

Liu Yu had given him a sword, and Tang Tian gave them their final dignity, completing this Karma.

Flames consumed the entire house.

Those Cultivators went mad with killing here, and Tang Tian also found seven hundred Spirit Stones. Unfortunately, all usable talismans were gone.

That night, the Liu Family was annihilated!

The five Foundation Establishment Cultivators were in the Liu Family Ancestral Hall, but they didn't find the Foundation Establishment Talisman Art Cultivation Technique. After soul-searching the Liu Family members one by one...

they discovered that the Liu Family Old Ancestor had gone to the Panya Secret Realm, and everyone else went to the Panya Secret Realm.

In this great war, their five clans were at the forefront; if they didn't go, those Cultivators wouldn't dare to go.

The five clans were extremely exhausted.

The Loose Cultivators newly recruited by the Yu Family were basically all used up, and some of their own Clan members were also lost.

The Yu Family was fortunate; they could obtain the Liu Family's territory and shops, and could barely recover after ten years of recuperation.

They, however, were different. Even if the Yu Family Ancestor allowed them to get involved with the Liu Family, they wouldn't dare.

It had been agreed long ago to share the Liu Family Talisman Art Cultivation Technique. If they couldn't obtain this Talisman Art Cultivation Technique, then they would get nothing.

Seeing them all heading to the Panya Secret Realm, Tang Tian's expression was strange. Hadn't Third Senior Brother already destroyed it?

The Cultivators finished their scavenging in just one night and then dispersed. That evening, the Yu Family Ancestor returned with a gloomy expression.

Clearly, the Yu Family was the only one to gain a small profit from this war.

As for the County Magistrate, he gained a great deal. Originally, he had nothing, but he collected a pile of Spirit Stones and attracted a large number of Cultivators...

"Tomorrow, we explore the Secret Realm!" the Yu Family Ancestor said furiously.

The next day, Qingmu County regained its population, though only Qi Refining Cultivators dared to walk around.

Various forces posted notices, recruiting people with Spirit Stones.

The Yu Family was also recruiting, offering fifty Spirit Stones per person.

It was only because those Liu Family members were at most at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, and using Spirit Stones to restore Spiritual Qi wouldn't consume much.

And Spirit Stones couldn't be burned by fire.

Various top forces obtained a considerable amount of Spirit Stones. Tang Tian felt it was a great pity; he didn't dare to run ahead of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and his Clone was also too busy.

The Liu Family had at least three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, excluding the tens of thousands consumed.

Over two hundred thousand were taken by the five great Foundation Establishment Families and various top forces.

Each household could have two or three tens of thousands, but only those Foundation Establishment Cultivators were vying for the Foundation Establishment Talisman Art Cultivation Technique.

Otherwise, it would have been three times more.

"It's fine, I can earn money with Spirit Medicine." Tang Tian calmed his mind and placed the seven hundred Spirit Stones into the Medicine Venerable Space.

...

The Yu Family was departing that night, so there was still some time. Now was the time to go see that Great Scholar.

The Lianqi Seventh Level was the highest Realm when the Old Ancestors weren't out.

That place was easy to find. Holding the token and injecting Spiritual Qi into it, he was guided to a scholarly academy.

Although Qingmu County was in such chaos, this place remained unusually quiet.

There were a few students reading inside. Tang Tian glanced at them and was instantly shocked.

What the hell, Qi Refining Sixth Layer.

And the pale-faced, beardless gentleman in a green scholarly robe was that Great Scholar.

There were also many guards at the gate, and their cultivation levels were all at the Qi Refining Fifth Level.

This Great Scholar was definitely more than just Lianqi Seventh Level!

Tang Tian had this premonition...

"Someone holding a Disciple's token has arrived."

The Great Scholar put down the scroll in his hand and said.

The sound of reading in the courtyard ceased, and the guards in front stood still.

Tang Tian frowned, but the guards in front moved aside.

Tang Tian walked in.

"Where is Tang Yuan?" the Great Scholar asked.

Tang Tian feigned sadness and said,

"My cousin... my cousin died. I only found this."

The Great Scholar said,

"It's good that he died. He couldn't even pay five taels of silver, owing for two years. He had Literary Qi, but the Dao is not easily transmitted.

"Since you have his token, make up for the silver he owes, and I will accept you whether you have Literary Qi or not..."

His gaze did not leave the scroll.

Those students discussed, one by one mocking Tang Tian,

"Can this person even afford that money? Look at his shabby appearance."

"Let me calculate how much Tang Yuan owes, including food and lodging, it's already thirty taels now."

It seemed that Tang Yuan, that country bumpkin, was just one of the five people the academy casually recruited because he had Literary Qi.

Tang Tian was stunned. Were the Yu Family clothes still shabby? Then, after listening, Tang Tian smiled.

Thirty taels of silver, and you're telling me this...

Tang Tian said,

"The money my cousin owes, I shall certainly repay."

He was about to say, "keep the change," but swallowed it back.

He took out fifty taels of fragmented silver and one gold ingot.

Tang Tian said,

"The rest of this is my tuition fee. I was afraid using Spirit Stones would offend your eyes, honored sir. Please take a look."

After saying this, the Great Scholar finally looked at Tang Tian...
