Immortal Cultivation Families: The Rise of the Jinling Immortal Clan

Xia Yuhui stood atop a giant tree, occasionally scanning the surrounding ten miles with his divine sense. This battle had greatly exceeded Xia Yuhui's expectations; he had never anticipated that the demonic beast's physical body would be so formidable.

Throughout the battle, the Foundation Establishment demon beast suffered five or six fatal blows, and our side paid the price with seven lives, yet the demon beast still managed to escape.

This gave Xia Yuhui a completely new understanding of demonic beasts. Perhaps if it weren't for the group of sect disciples assisting Yang Qilin just now, given the speed of that Foundation Establishment demon, it would have been difficult to predict who would win between the two of them.

Half a day later, everyone's magical power had been mostly restored. Now, they were just waiting for Yang Qilin to give them instructions before continuing their journey to complete the unfinished mission.

Yang Qilin said in a deep voice, "We have been delayed for too long, so I have decided to speed things up. Make sure you follow me closely, and let's set off!"

After saying this, he ascended into the sky on his sword.

No one objected to this. At this point, there was no difference between speeding up and not speeding up, because they were now traveling in a straight line, rather than continuing to penetrate deeper into northern Xinjiang.

They must thoroughly investigate the spiritual veins, mineral deposits, and number of demonic beasts along this route before they can retreat.

They sped along like this, the recording stones in the hands of the sect cultivators flashing intermittently.

However, their journey was not smooth sailing. Soon, they encountered trouble again. In the forest below, hundreds of Qi Refining stage demon wolves were rapidly following behind them, howling incessantly.

This attracted powerful monsters from the surrounding area to quickly approach.

"You go first, I'll follow later." Yang Qilin, who was at the forefront, knew that this could not continue, so he immediately gave the order.

After saying that, one of them drew his sword and charged towards the pack of demonic wolves. For a Foundation Establishment cultivator to face a group of Qi Refining stage demonic wolves was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

Yang Qilin cast a purple shield spell on himself and then charged into the wolf pack without hesitation. His sword immediately emitted sharp sword energy, which frightened the surrounding wolf demons into letting out low growls, as if trying to warn the enemy and prove that he was not afraid.

Yang Qilin ignored the wolf demons' movements, and with each swing of his sword, he killed three or four wolf demons.

Instead of fleeing, the demon wolves surged forward like a tide, attempting to tear at the purple defensive shield, but to no avail. This not only failed but also hastened their demise. Those demon wolves that got too close were instantly burned to skeletons by Yang Qilin's Flame Refining Technique.

Half an incense stick's time had passed, and nearly 400 demon wolves lay dead on the ground, with only a few dozen remaining, frantically fleeing towards the outer perimeter.

Yang Qilin: "You beast, still trying to escape? Prepare to die! Greatsword Technique!"

A gigantic sword appeared out of thin air in the sky and struck the center of the fleeing pack of demon wolves. With a deafening "bang!", the entire pack of demon wolves was instantly wiped out.

Yang Qilin calmly turned and flew away on his sword. He didn't dislike the corpses on the ground, but he couldn't keep them. It would waste too much time, and he already sensed numerous demonic beasts rushing towards them.

Normally, he would have taken the monster corpses with him. But now, due to the impending beast tide, these monsters no longer had their own territories; instead, they were all crowded together. Therefore, in the forest, the slightest disturbance would cause a large number of monsters to quickly gather around.

After he leaves, the corpses of these monsters will also deter the pursuing monsters. After all, how could the pursuing monsters resist such a large amount of delicious food on the ground?

Soon, Yang Qilin caught up with the main group. However, at this moment, looking at the many family cultivators in the group, Yang Qilin couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Everyone bowed to Yang Qilin, who waved his hand, silently flew to the front of the group, and began to lead them forward.

Seeing Yang Qilin's unpleasant expression, the group of family cultivators knew he must be in a bad mood, and their faces also turned ashen.

If Yang Qilin is uneasy, then they may be facing misfortune.

After flying for another four or five hours, night fell, and the group arrived at a mountain. However, a group of monkeys were fast asleep on the mountain. Their numbers were quite considerable, more than 100, including more than a dozen demon monkeys equivalent to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Originally, it would have been sufficient to record this place with a recording stone, but Yang Qilin stopped here and said to the people behind him, "There is a first-grade high-quality spiritual vein here. If these demon monkeys continue to live here for decades, perhaps a Foundation Establishment demon will be born among them. Therefore, we must eliminate them as soon as possible. Now that the sect disciples have suffered heavy casualties, it is not advisable to continue to take action. This time, let the family disciples do the cleaning."

Upon hearing this, the family disciples' faces instantly turned ashen. Jin Yeqiao stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Senior, we will certainly do our best, but there are too many of these demonic beasts. I'm afraid it will be difficult for just a few of us cultivators to manage."

"Hehe, don't worry, young friend Jin. If the situation changes, I will certainly lend a hand."

Jin Yeqiao: "Please reconsider, senior. If it really comes to it, let the sect's experts who are not yet injured join us in slaying these demonic beasts."

Yang Qilin's expression instantly turned cold. "Are you disobeying my orders? If you don't let these sect disciples protect those seriously injured disciples, can you bear the responsibility if something happens to them?"

Jin Yeqiao: "This..."

Seeing Yang Qilin's increasingly grim expression, Jin Yeqiao ultimately remained silent. He knew this battle was inevitable. Before coming, he had never imagined that Yang Qilin would disregard the dignity of Foundation Establishment cultivators and send them to fight over 100 demonic beasts—it was tantamount to suicide. However, under the pressure of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, he could only reluctantly agree.

"Junior, I obey."

Upon hearing Jin Yeqiao's agreement, Yang Qilin's expression softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Young friend Jin, you can rest assured. If I see that you are struggling to hold on, I will certainly lend a hand. We must finish this quickly and decisively, without delay, otherwise the Foundation Establishment demons around us will surely follow us."

The Jin family wielded considerable power in Jinling County, and he dared not offend them easily. After all, although he was a cultivator from a sect, he was wary of the combined attack from several Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Jin family. He had already made a plan in mind: if the three members of the Jin family encountered any misfortune, he would definitely step in to save them, at least ensuring that they did not die openly.

As for the other three families, apart from the Akagi family, which was somewhat troublesome, he didn't care about the other two. He wasn't alone; while those rogue cultivators feared these family cultivators, he felt no fear whatsoever.

On the path of cultivation, one either progresses or regresses. How can one always please others? Therefore, if one wants to improve one's cultivation and gain benefits, it means one must offend people.

After saying this, Yang Qilin quickly ascended into the air and said to the crowd below, "Let's finish this quickly. I'll check the surrounding environment from above to see if there are any other monsters."

After Yang Qilin left, Jin Yeqiao immediately gathered the family cultivators together and said sternly, "Everyone, now is the time for us to make our move. Remember that we must go all out this time. If you hold back, don't blame me for being ruthless."

He wanted to force everyone, otherwise they would all have to die together in the end.

At this moment, Akagi Akira spoke up: "Everyone, my cousin Mingyu is seriously injured and has not fully recovered yet, so he will not participate in this mission."

Pale-faced Akatsuki Akatsuki slowly stepped forward, indicating that he was seriously injured.
