Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Out of the City After Ten Years

Four years ago, the Wen family took control of the sole management rights of the Spirit Pearl Mountain market by hiring some robbers who had escaped from Inverted Mountain, and recruiting some loose cultivators to pose as robbers to harass the market.

However, since they took over, the robber attacks continued unabated.

The Wen family speculated that the other four families might be imitating them, but they were equally unable to resolve it.

Eventually, under pressure from several businesses with sect and top-tier cultivating family backgrounds within the Spirit Pearl Mountain market, the market once again resumed the previous joint management mode.

A year ago, after a robber was captured and exposed that the Wen family had hired robbers and attempted to silence them, the four families seized the opportunity to put the Wen family to death.

Finally, the conflict between the five second-tier families erupted after years of peaceful coexistence.

Now, the four families obtained the Fenglin Wang family’s permission to launch a full-scale attack.

Li Jizhou checked all his trump cards once again, brought Guagua, and walked out of the door he entered ten years ago.

Ten years!

“Whoosh~” Out of the city gate, the top-grade flying ship expanded against the wind, instantly becoming a five-zhang-long shuttle-shaped flying ship suspended in mid-air.

Under the envious gaze of some minor cultivators, Li Jizhou floated up and stood on the flying ship.

At this moment, there was finally a bit of the ethereal scene he imagined before his past life transmigration.

Of course, after reaching Foundation Establishment in the past life, he had already experienced it, and now there was no emotion.

He didn’t care about appearances and lay back comfortably, using magical power to control the flying ship towards the Wen family’s Spiritual Bamboo Garden.

After all, the reason he chose a flying magical artifact was not only for speed but for comfort.

The speed of the flying ship was indeed among the best of flying magical artifacts, reaching the Wen family, three thousand miles away, in one day.

However, he stopped ten miles away.

From afar, he looked at the allied forces of the various families in this area that were already assembled before the Wen family’s ancestral land.

At the forefront were the Foundation Establishment stage elders of the other four second-tier cultivating families, with one person standing at the front using magical power to shout:

“The True Core ancestor of the Fenglin Wang family has spoken; the Wen family has violated ethics, colluded with bandits, and disrupted peace and stability in this area, they must be executed!”

“All cultivating families in this area have the responsibility to maintain peace and stability here. Within three days, all families in this area must come to slay the traitors, those who violate will be treated as accomplices of the Wen family!”

“All loose cultivators in this area, those who voluntarily crusade against the Wen family rebels can claim the spoils of war by their abilities!”

“All who…”

Li Jizhou put away the flying ship from afar, transformed his appearance, and blended in with the many loose cultivators watching from a distance, quietly observing.

“It seems the Wen family is truly doomed this time!”

In this area, the Fenglin Wang family is the boss.

While the Wen family, with five Foundation Establishments, had already overshadowed other families in the area, above them was the Wang family.

One mountain cannot contain two tigers!

The Wang family could not allow them to truly grow strong enough to be a match for them.

It’s possible the Wang family has always been waiting for an opportunity when even the Golden Sun Sect wouldn’t intervene.

And this time, the Wen family committed a grave mistake that crossed the line.

They handed this opportunity to the Wang family.

The harshness of the cultivating world is vividly displayed at this moment; once an opportunity is seized, it must be rooted out completely to avoid future troubles!

Previously, no matter how much the families fought, the big boss above would at most step in to make peace after everyone had almost exhausted themselves, then reap a wave from each family.

But this time, it’s clear that the Wang family aims for the Wen family’s disappearance while also weakening the other four families.

The other four families, knowing the Wang family’s intentions, can only brace themselves to confront, however, wanting to weaken them, the Wang family can only bring up all the third-tier families so everyone weakens together, in the end, they remain the second in this area.

With entrenched class hierarchy, breaking through is almost impossible.

Only by being low-key, patient, and waiting.

It’s clear the Wen family was too hasty.

Most loose cultivators didn’t move forward, staying back like Li Jizhou, observing from afar.

Everyone is here to take advantage, no one wants to risk their lives.

After a while, seeing that the battle hadn’t commenced, some people were already impatient, starting to rush towards the Wen family’s Spiritual Bamboo Garden.

The main industry of the Wen family is the Spiritual Bamboo Garden, Spiritual Bamboo is not only a common material for making talismans, magical artifacts, and puppets, but it also produces high-quality Spiritual Bamboo Rice.

This is greatly attractive to loose cultivators lacking strength.

Li Jizhou mingled with the crowd, following along.

The Wen family’s ancestral court’s array was activated, and besides the array guarding the Spiritual Bamboo Garden side, there were no more soldiers.

However, a tier two array is not something this group of opportunistic loose cultivators can break through.

Many loose cultivators tried a few times from afar and could only give up, finding a hidden place to wait until some powerful figure broke the array and then went in to pick up the pieces.

Li Jizhou retreated ten more miles than these people, also patiently waiting.

Until three days later, intense magical battles erupted from the Wen family ancestral court direction.

The loose cultivators hiding near the Spiritual Bamboo Garden then emerged, attacking the Spiritual Bamboo Garden’s array with full force.

Li Jizhou waited half a day, watching from a distance as the Wen family ancestral court was indeed in a heated battle before hesitating no longer.

“Guagua!” He lightly patted the Spirit Pet Bag to release Guagua.

Then grabbed Guagua’s foot with one hand, letting it take him underground.

He hadn’t practiced earth-element cultivation techniques, hence wouldn’t know the earth escape magic of earth-element.

Guagua now at Tier One peak, its innate divine ability of earth escape had strengthened significantly, and its concealment talent was also extraordinary.

When it usually burrowed underground, if Li Jizhou didn’t fully use his divine sense to investigate, he might have been fooled.

It could navigate ten zhang underground as if walking on flat ground, bringing Li Jizhou to the underside of the Spiritual Bamboo Garden’s array in an instant.

Li Jizhou unhesitatingly pulled out two high-quality breaking charms and slapped them on.

“Boom boom~”

A loud tremor, followed by the breaking of the array.

Efficiency was all that mattered.

Then he crushed a top-quality fire attribute spirit-sensing talisman, and pulled out ten high-quality spirit trapping talismans, fully releasing his divine sense to carefully perceive any unusual fire spiritual Qi nearby.

According to ancient books he had read in his past life, though Anomalous Fires had already lost their intelligence, they still retained the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm, and are naturally inclined to conceal their spirituality. Without special spirit-sensing talismans, even a strong divine sense scan might not discover them.

With the help of the spirit-sensing talisman, Guagua carried Li Jizhou to search most of the Spiritual Bamboo Garden and found nothing.

Just as he suspected that the fire attribute spirit-transforming demon beasts frequently appearing in the Wen family Spiritual Bamboo Garden in past years might not have been influenced by Anomalous Fire, a faint fire attribute spiritual fluctuation appeared not far ahead.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~” Without any hesitation, ten high-quality spirit trapping talismans were instantly activated.

Soon they enveloped the area of fire attribute spiritual fluctuation.

“Quick go!” Sensing the fire attribute spiritual wave was trapped, Li Jizhou immediately released Guagua, placing a transmission talisman on its head, instructing it to inspect closely.

While he himself remained in his spot, sharing the sight through the transmission talisman with Guagua.

Moments later, as Guagua advanced rapidly,

at a place where only faint fire attribute spiritual fluctuations could be sensed by divine sense, a candle-sized milky-white little flame appeared in the shared vision.

And it was still struggling fiercely!

“Is it really an Anomalous Fire?” Even Li Jizhou’s usually calm emotions couldn’t help but become wildly ecstatic at this moment.

“Eh, no! This isn’t an Anomalous Fire?”
