Alien Science Cultivation

As for the fact that those aristocratic families had gathered over a dozen other families and experts for this operation, their plan was undoubtedly to completely annihilate the Wang family. After all, with so many families acting simultaneously, even if a sect were to pursue them, they could share the risk. This situation often occurs in conflicts between aristocratic families. Even if a sect were to pursue them, they would simply demand compensation for resources, and this compensation was often very limited. Sometimes, promised compensation would be reneged on, which was also normal. Even in the most serious cases, the compensation would be accompanied by some punishment, without implicating other members of the family. For these aristocratic families, sacrificing a few members in exchange for vast wealth was an irresistible temptation. Some families even hired independent cultivators to act, so that if something went wrong, their own family would not be implicated. After the matter was settled, these independent cultivators would simply move on to continue their cultivation elsewhere, making them generally very difficult to capture.

Zhang Qiang listened quietly to Wang Wei's explanation, and his face gradually became gloomy.

"Go call Lin Ling, we'll set off now..." Zhang Qiang said softly, but his tone was as cold as frost in the cold winter.

"Brother Qiang... just us...?" Wang Wei asked hesitantly, a look of worry on his face. Zhang Qiang simply nodded solemnly, then ignored Wang Wei and simply sat cross-legged on Wang Wei's bed with his eyes closed, not saying a word.

Although Wang Wei felt deeply uneasy, he still followed Zhang Qiang's instructions and quickly left the room. Zhang Qiang understood Wang Wei's concerns. After all, on the surface, Zhang Qiang's strength was only at the early stage of the Golden Core, Wang Wei was only at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and only Lin Ling had reached the Mahayana realm. But even with Mahayana strength, facing so many masters from aristocratic families, this trip would undoubtedly be a futile effort.

However, there were reasons why Wang Wei was determined to follow Zhang Qiang's wishes and find Lin Ling. Firstly, Zhang Qiang's position as the head of Qingshan Exchange meant his true strength was far greater than it appeared. Secondly, even if he ultimately lost, Lin Ling and Zhang Qiang's status would be enough to resolve their family's crisis. Zhang Qiang himself intended to take advantage of this opportunity to train Lin Ling and hone his uncle's ability to lead a team. Most importantly, though, was the desire to intimidate...

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Wei led Lin Ling to Zhang Qiang, who looked like a young man.

"Brother Qiang...what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry...?" Lin Ling asked jokingly, her cheeks unconsciously flushed.

Zhang Qiang couldn't help but feel helpless when he saw this. In his mind, if this girl were on Earth, she would definitely be considered a typical example of a love-brained person.

"I'm planning to take you along for some training... Are you up for that? Also, should we tell your Master? After all, it's just the few of us this time... It's a life-or-death experience..." Zhang Qiang explained the situation with a serious expression. After all, this trip wouldn't involve any experts protecting them, and it wasn't just a simple competition between disciples. He was genuinely worried that Lin Ling wouldn't want to go.

Lin Ling was already a true disciple of the Qingshan Sect's leader. Given enough time, her future was boundless. Zhang Qiang had assumed she would consider the matter, but who could have imagined that when Lin Ling heard that it was just the three of them going on a training trip, her blush deepened, and she couldn't help but raise her lips in an irrepressible smile, nodding her head like a pounding garlic.

Zhang Qiang was speechless again upon seeing this, but then, without further hesitation, he summoned the flying crane gifted by Patriarch Yao Chen from his spirit beast ring. Immediately afterwards, a high-pitched and resounding crane cry suddenly rang out, instantly echoing throughout the Qingshan Sect and drawing the attention of countless disciples and elders.

Afterwards, the three of them sat steadily on the back of the flying crane and galloped towards the east amid the discussions of the crowd.

Zhang Qiang was worried along the way, wondering if Lin Ling would send a message to inform her master, Wu Yong. He couldn't just take someone else's disciple away without a word. Besides, he was worried he wouldn't be able to explain clearly to Chen Ying and Wang Yan when he returned.

"Oh... go... I hope you can grow up quickly. The Qingshan Sect will be counting on you in the future. I will soon be heading to the battlefield where I will risk my life..." In an attic somewhere in the Qingshan Sect, a tall figure in white clothes sighed secretly.

Along the way, Wang Wei kept telling Lin Ling and Zhang Qiang about their family's current situation and the numerous crises they faced. As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. Their family not only faces many hidden dangers from outside, but also has complex conflicts within the family.

Wang Wei is the youngest in his family. He has 12 older brothers and 6 older sisters. Why is he the youngest yet? Because his father is the head of the family and has already married 5 wives. It's not impossible for him to marry a few more.

"Because I'm the youngest, I've always been doted on by Grandpa. But it's this very doting that has made me a thorn in the eyes of my 12 brothers. Especially my eldest and third brothers... They always think I'm the biggest obstacle in their fight for the position of head of the family. If they get the chance, they'll want to skin me alive. The fact that I'm still alive is purely accidental. Of course, it's also thanks to the treasures Grandpa gave me... Otherwise, I don't know how many times I would have died. When Grandpa was alive, he always said: Our little 13 is so lucky, he will definitely become a great talent who can rule the world in the future... Haha... I feel ashamed when I think about it... I..."

As Wang Wei spoke, he became more and more emotional, and in the end, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Although Zhang Qiang couldn't truly understand the sadness he felt at the moment, nor the pain he had experienced in the past, he thought about the descendants of kings, princes, generals, and ministers in history. How many of them had a good ending? Zhang Qiang was not good at comforting people, so for now, he could only sit cross-legged on the back of the flying crane in silence.

However, Lin Ling's inappropriate remarks seemed to make Wang Wei feel even more ashamed.

"Look... the ranking of your family does not even include girls. Maybe... you are not the most pitiful and helpless one. Maybe your sisters are..." Lin Ling's voice was very low, revealing a sense of loneliness, as if she herself was one of Wang Wei's six sisters.

"Haha...that's right, they have basically become victims of family interests and power...Ah..." Wang Wei responded helplessly after pondering for a moment.

"Oh... okay... everyone has their own sufferings... let's just look forward..." Zhang Qiang sighed and turned around to say something.

The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I have something to deal with on the top of the mountain ahead. You guys follow Feihe and continue forward..." Zhang Qiang gave instructions, then his figure flashed and flew towards the mountain below.

An hour later... Zhang Qiang, standing on the top of the mountain, looked at the dark "clouds" in the distance, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

A moment later... in the "dark clouds", two black shadows flew towards Zhang Qiang at lightning speed.

"Brother Qiang..." two dark shadows shouted in unison.

"Well... I'll take you to kill some people..." Zhang Qiang said calmly, with even a faint smile on his face, but Heijin and Heihuo could feel Zhang Qiang's murderous intent from the bottom of their hearts.

"Brother Qiang...we are professionals in group fights...hehe..." Heijin and Heihuo looked at each other, and Heihuo continued excitedly.

"Haha... the little girl has gotten smarter..." Zhang Qiang chuckled, praising Heihuo. Though Heihuo was considerably younger than Heijin, she was certainly smart. From Zhang Qiang's brief words, she understood that a group fight was about to begin. After all, if they were to fight alone, given Zhang Qiang's temper and cultivation level, they would essentially be left to watch. And the urgent recall of all of them from the teleportation array at this moment was undoubtedly intended for the group fight.
